Finally got around to starting Unity this evening.

For the record: It took me less than 10 minutes to make it crash on my PS4.

All I did was push the touchpad when indicated to load up the database entry on Jacques De Molay. Instead the UI disappeared and all the controls became unresponsive. I had to force quit the game and restart it.

And this is after Ubisoft has issued 4 patches for the drat thing.

Ahahahaha I came here to post this exact loving post, down to the freeze point. This is astonishing. This game really needed 6 more months in the oven.

AC Initiates Status
DECEMBER 24 - [UBI] JOHKR
We've decided to place Assassin's Creed Initiates in a continued state of maintenance during the holiday period.

The reasoning for this is to minimize the effect from outages to your experience during this time, as well as to allow us work on ensuring the technical stability of the platform.

Although AC Initiates will be in maintenance and thus unavailable to access via the web or console browsers, all gold Initiates chests are now unlocked in game for online players. You will receive an in game error message when attempting to access the ACI website from in-game due to the maintenance. This is expected behaviour, and will be addressed in a future update. However, you will have unrestricted access to all the chests with the golden ACI crest and the rewards within them.

Please note that you won't be able to access the gold Initiates chests if you are playing offline.

As always, you can find this update and the latest updates on our Live Updates Blog

Finally, we want to thank you for your continued passion and feedback. We hope you have a pleasant holiday.

At the moment all Gold chests are openable because Initiates is down.

I forget the exact breakdown, but beating two or three of the previous AC games was probably enough to unlock the outfits.

Less if you played MP or 100%d games.

I'm not talking about the outfits, I mean the pieces. They're all over the place in terms of what you need to do to unlock them and its annoying how it seems like its impossible to just buy a complete set. Like some stuff is behind the companion app, some stuff is just given in co-op missions, some stuff is in chests somewhere. The whole thing is irritating.

I don't know exactly what a club competition is, but I do know I want that legendary napoleonic coat.

Edit: You can only have one request at a time, [Goon] it is since the other seems to be full. Is that actually run by a goon?

It'd probably be best to apply to Goon. SAAC seems to be broken and inactive. Maybe we should just get a consensus here and make a new PC Unity group?

Agreed. Having the names for all the clubs on different platforms in the OP would also be helpful. While others weigh in I will wait and see if this korova_studios who set up [Goon]SomethingAwful replies.

I'd really just concentrate on getting Legendary or Master equipment. The lower level stuff isn't nearly as good, and boosted legendary hoods give a 10% Creed Point bonus. Most of that isn't hard, short of a couple of pieces which are given during story missions, all you need to do is run the higher level Co-Op missions a few times to get everything. There's still some stuff that you might need to win a Club Competition for, but that isn't horrible.

Most of the chest/companion app stuff is for mid-tier stuff and is nice if you're aiming for 100% completion.

Yeah, having just started Unity I didn't realize that the clubs were different on all platforms.

So [SAAC] and [Goon] are the designated PC ones. What are they for Xbone and PS4?

Despite some technical problems I'm really enjoying Unity. But then again I'm not the 100% completion type, I usually don't replay missions even when I hosed it up and I don't really care about collecting full sets so this all might be a factor.

Got tired of waiting so I made my own PC club called [LGSA]LesGoons. Finding an available club tag was hard; rather than having something fun like [LOON] or [LEGO] I had to settle for the Lesbian Gay Straight Alliance acronym which is still sort of funny since gay is a banned word on Uplay.

Oh, poo poo woops, I stopped reading the thread at all because I'd given up on Unity. Yeah, officially speaking SAAC is hosed. Last time I loaded up the game to accept the last four people to the club, which would have maxed it out, the game broke in half and teleported me back to the pre-Assassin party mission. Given how the game runs for me and frankly gently caress that pre-Assassin stuff (and kind of all of it) I just uninstalled it at that point.

TL:DR :siren: Abandon SAAC, join LGSA.

Accepted. I also don't have a mic at the moment so I won't be able to talk in game right now. I will probably set a crappy one up tomorrow that will do until I can get a new wireless receiver for my headset.

I have also had some buggy experiences with clubs in the past including being listed 20 times as a member of a club instead of showing other member's names so I will post here if we near capacity to avoid any [SAAC] problems].

Oh I am listed twice now in the club list. Thank you Ubishit for this amazing multiplayer experience.

That reminds me, in the database there is this entry (found in one of the rifts I think) set up as an abstergo entertainment internal memo telling employees only to mention multiplayer as an upcoming feature or something a long those lines. Très drôle.

Edit 2: Apparently the name repetition is a common issue that hasn't been addressed http://forums.ubi.com/showthread.php/950209-Assassin-s-Creed-Unity-BUG-Clan-Members-Display-List-Forums

It screwed up my contacts list too and I couldn't invite anyone to play co-op. I just added Toffile as my friend on uplay and that seemed to fix it? So if you join send me a friend request on there as well.

I picked up a 6GB patch the other day and now the only thing keeping the game from running smoothly is my GPU, all the stuttering is gone. I only finished chapter 2, but I'm digging it so far. I'm just a sucker for these parkourey games and jumping down and assassinating guards, I don't really care if the story is dumb or what.

I also applied to LGSA as twdragon (I think). Wanna get those costumes :downs:

Is there a Kylelll on the forums? They want an invite but I want to keep pubbies out in case my amazing club really takes off in this thread. Please post in here if you ask for an invite.

I also got that name spam in the member list bug again so add me as a friend on uplay (search for CheGxvara) since that seemed to fix it last time.

Oh, and ayn rand hand job won a club competition or some such for us while I was at the movies.

Edit: In case anyone was wondering about club competition unlocks like me it goes a little something like this:

1. Ubisoft unlocks club competitions for so many hours.
2. You are put in a group with six other clubs and if you earn enough creed points in the allotted time you win and unlock one of the pieces of legendary gear (I just got the legendary sans-culottes hood for example)*. If you complete certain heists, co-op missions, or fancy moves you get double creed points.
3. If your club doesn't come first, you get nothing. If you come second you move up a division, I think we started in Bronze I. What divisions measure exactly and why you want to move up divisions, I don't know. All the higher divisions offer are bonus boosts which I never use anyway. Basically just come first for the beautiful clothes.

*I believe everyone unlocks the same prize that ubisoft chooses to have for that specific competition, so no napolenic cuirass for anyone.

And that is how fashion's creed works.

Your club has to come first in your group of six to win the piece of gear ie get the most creed points. Second place moves up a division (bonus boosts like extra health for three minutes) and everyone else gets nothing.

Also I like the sans-culottes gear, it fills me with revolutionary fervor. I do wish you could dye individual items though since only the assassin blue motif works with that outfit, but a blue leather vest is a little gauche (pun very much intended).

I must say that the number of collectables in Unity is overwhelimg. When I see that there are like 40 chests in one of the city parts it makes me not want to bother. On the other hand it's pretty sweet how far they expanded the inventory in this regard.

I did the entire northern half of the map then finished the game before giving up.

Annoyingly, some sections in the north still say I've got 7/8 chests even though I've picked all the ones up that were on the map. So either you have to pass near one for them to show up (and not just rely on climbing the viewpoint) or as per typical Ubisoft fashion, it's bugged.

That's how low trust is with Ubisoft, you can't tell if something is a deliberately annoying design or if it's a bug.
