Lately vehicles have been spawning so far away from me that I can't even find them. I'm starting to miss having a chopper fall on my head. What the hell, guys?

This was happening to me yesterday. I thought it was a glitch in my game. I hear the radio transmission about delivering the chopper or APC and accompanying sound effects but I don't see it on the map at all.

e: If I start a new singleplayer game, do I still have all the weapons and attachments, or do I have to scrounge that stuff all over again?

- there are so many rebels driving around the map that they appear to be the majority of the population, but...
- most of the rebels don't do poo poo and a rebel van parked right in the middle of a Santa Blanca or Unidad base with "GO REBELS!" painted on the side doesn't even provoke enemy interest, let alone a firefight
It seems like it's linked to the AI not wanting to engage unless you explicitly give an order or trigger the "engaged" status, which I assume is because there are missions that autofail if you're detected. I've had plenty of rebels notice an ongoing firefight and join in, but never if I was silently prowling about. You can always throw a grenade and say fire, it tends to get them moving.

The real fix there is to entirely remove the detection-punishing mission gimmick and just have rebels be a fun and dynamic part of the game, but hey.

What I hate is how detection/firefights tend to triple (or worse?) the HP of enemies. Hit a normal unidad mook with 5 rounds in the head/shoulder area with an SR3M and he stayed in the fight. Fucker.

So I shot up 35/50 unidad with missiles from a helicopter last night for the task force challenge before being shot down and going to bed. Whoever finished it off - did you get the Titanium weapon paint job? I seem to be missing it.

Yes, please ticket them, I've noticed this bug for weeks now and they don't seem to be getting the message about it, and people keep going on not noticing. Also guess that means the goon task force already did it so I'll have to cancel my app and go back to flying solo.

Talked to a Live Support guy at Ubisoft. Apparently, it's a known issue according to their known issues page-


[Content] Unable to receive Task Force challenges reward
Some players reported being unable to receive the Task Force reward in spite of completing the Task Force challenge. This problem will be solved in a future patch.


So they just keep my ticket in the system until it's fixed. It's only been 4 weeks this has been happening :shrug:

Yep, same for me as well. Didn't get the KT raid or whatever camo, didn't get the Titanium from this week. Another thing is that it appears there is a new cosmetics pack in the shop- in the customization menu I found what I think is a new pair of sunglasses, a "steel" weapon camo, and a "Tavor Predator." But I went to the shop to go see what it was, and it doesn't appear that it's even listed.

Well, I beat all the stories, and got all of the weapons. I could collect the legends/documents for the achievements, or all of the attachments for 'fun', but I think I'm ready to uninstall the game. The challenges aren't enough to keep me going.

It was a fun, frustrating, and long lasting run. I don't regret getting this game.

I found a cool little bug. Came across a group of rebels and one of them was kicking a soccer ball around. I stole the ball away from him, hoping he would go after it but expecting he would just go into a different routine and be like a normal rebel just standing around. Instead another soccer ball spawned instantly. I kept doing it until there were like 15 balls then the guy got run over by a truck

Second expansion this month.

quote:

The second expansion to the rumble-in-the-jungle multiplayer FPS Ghost Recon Wildlands is coming on May 30, Ubisoft announced today, and will wrap up the ghostly adventures in the Santa Blanca-ruled Bolivia. Except in Fallen Ghosts, the Santa Blanca cartel doesn't rule Bolivia anymore, and it sounds like things haven't worked out quite as well as they could have.
ADVERTISING

The good news is that, thanks to the efforts of the Ghosts, the Santa Blanca cartel has fallen. The bad news is that without a long-term post-intervention plan in place, the country has fallen into civil war. The Unidad special forces unit doesn't have the muscle to control the country, and so it does what typically happens in these situations and recruits former cartel members, along with mercenaries and various sorts of criminals looking for something to do, into a "new brutal special unit" called Los Extranjeros.

With the country in ruins, the Ghosts are given one last mission: Evacuate the remaining CIA personnel and American civilians before the reprisals begin. On the way in, however, their helicopter is shot down, leaving them alone in the jungle, without support, and facing an enemy equipped with the latest and greatest gear and technology.

The expansion will feature 15 new missions and four new bosses, and what sounds like new Ghosts as well. Ubisoft said players will begin the expansion with a new character at level 30 and "equipped with all of the main game skills." The level cap has been increased to 35, and there are nine new unlockable skills, along with six new weapons including assault rifles, a sniper rifle, and a crossbow. Naturally, there are also new enemies to face, including armor-equipped soldiers, elite snipers, "jammers" who can neutralize drones and other electronic gear, and covert operators equipped with state-of-the-art cloaking devices.

Ghost Recon Wildlands season pass holders will be able to get their hands on Fallen Ghosts on May 30, while everyone else will have to hold on an extra week (until June 6) and pay $15 for it. While you wait, don't miss this rundown of the latest PC Gamer mission to Bolivia, in which the Queen's Finest shows Team America how it's done by actually getting on the plane before accidentally blowing it up.

Going to wait on this one. I enjoyed Narco Road but funnily enough, but detaching its content from the main campaign was a mistake IMO (despite the tonal clash), and none of these new toys sound as if they're going to be integrated with the base content.

I play this game more than makes sense, even though I have a lot of issues with it, I somehow find it the most addictive of this particular type of open world game and the world itself (geography and level design wise) is my favorite I've seen of it's type. However I really don't find any of the DLC compelling and wish they would just fix stuff in the main game instead (I know they won't)

or if they are going to add stuff, add a good PVP mode. something simple like you can just invade someone else's gameworld and hunt them down

Pfft. Getting shot down in a chopper is nothing new, UBI. Happens to me nearly every time I fly on the central/western part of the map.

Though I do like the sound of the storyline, "We put Santa Blanca out of business but what sprang up in its place is as bad or worse. Evacuate the embassy!"

I think it would be cool if it was a very simplified version of the dark souls setup.

either

- you enter the world of another player as some sort of elite hitman called in by sb, and hunt down that player

or

- you enter the world of another player as a cia death squad in response to a ghost's call for help, whether thats infiltrating a regular base as in normal coop or dealing with another player who invaded your world

except no "covenants" or any kind of markers. when you invade someone else's world you should be able to dress like an ordinary Bolivian villager.
