I wish more games would let you invade other player's games and plays as the NPCs. Mind Jack, for all it's terrible traits, was awesome at this. You weren't more powerful than the NPC on it's own(not talking Dark Souls' style PvP invasion), all you could do is usurp expectations. Denying progress completely in Mind Jack was fun but I always switched sides and joined the player if I totally shut them down a few times. It was a great push and pull if you didn't get a player that just immediately turned off assistance/invasions.

This made me chuckle. The lesson I take from this game is that Bolivian drivers give no fucks. Was doing a mission to intimidate a sicario who merrily hopped into a car and drove over his two buddies before crashing into a house.

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

Also the new patch seems to have resolved the task force challenges bug - the missing cosmetics turned up when I logged in today.

I saw it, I was waiting for Mediocrity Goggles to re-apply first because we're right near the cap. I've attempted to accept the other applications but I got errors for all of them, which means we're full.

Anyone currently in the Task Force and playing have any suggestions on how to free up spots for new people? I can't see 50 of the 100 people in the Task Force on the website and there is no last played time that I can find. :(

Yeah, it sucks though that I'm sure there's at least a few people who no longer play but are in the task force. I've got an idea.

Alright guys, here's what we're going to do. Since I don't use Uplay for that many games, my friends list isn't a huge deal. So:

If you want to remain in the Task Force and maintain the LLJK tag, you have until Tuesday, May 23rd to send me a friend request on Uplay. If you are not on my Uplay friends list or have a friend request pending by the end of the 23rd, you are at risk of being randomly removed from the task force. My Uplay name is Obsurveyor. You should be able to use my profile page to submit a request or the Uplay client. I purged my friends list once the task force filled up awhile back so don't just trust that I'm still on your friends list.

Has anyone had a bug where you are unable to tag or mark enemies? I just started the game last night and I was able to aim down sights and mark the enemies with the orange circle.

Now it just doesn't happen. I've tried using the drone and aiming at them, nothing.

I've tried closing the game and relaunching to no avail.

Anyone else have this happen?

This is the most consistently, frustratingly almost-great game that I'll probably sink 100 hours into.

I just got the prompt that I can kill El Sueno now, is there any reason not to? I'm assuming I can continue clearing out the other leaders afterward, right?

The ending is slightly different but you can go back into the world, finish off the other bosses and get the second ending afterwards.

Its also pretty funny if you do everything before Sueno. Right after the ending it says something along the lines of "You've completed 100% of the missions, go back into the world and complete 100% of the missions to get a secret ending!"

Alright, purge mode is now in effect for the task force. Basically, if you're not on my friends list on Uplay and you're listed on the Members page of the task force(first 50 people) then you're at risk of being randomly removed for new applications that properly list their SA username or contact me through discord. I'm going to hold off on removing anyone listed in the Discord as well since it's pretty small.

All pending applications have been accepted.

For the solo challenges, the five clues are here (shamelessly pasted from reddit). They're all in Inca Camina.

- Location #2 Climbers - Lat: -20.5474, Long: -65.8776
- Location #3 Cave - Lat: -20.6613, Long -65.4023 (Bodies are on the right side)
- Location #4 Campsite (Clipboard) - Lat: -20.7962, Long -64.6274
- Location #5 Crash Site - Lat: -19.3569, Long: -66.7930

And to summon the Yeti if you go to these (small, dark, blood covered) rocks you'll get a prompt to press "E".

I FINALLY GOT INTO LLJK!!!! Bugs be gone.

I used to play Doom on 14.4 baud when you had to pay hourly for access to a 4 player game. It actually worked quite well.

Wildlands is pretty fun because I've had a chance to play with random people around the world and we shot up digital narcos. The best people to play with are russians and/or aussies/new zealanders. We've had debates about Kalashnikovs and Rose McIver as the yellow power ranger. I just watch iZombie I didn't obsess over her oh yes I did. This is the best microphone-enabled game ever except for maybe every other microphone enabled game ever. I digress. Lots of conversations about random bullshit around the world while I spray my Scorpion Evo 3 all over the place sans suppressor.

My buddy and I just cleared out "Truck Depot" where you sneak in, photograph some docs, then sneak out. Except we aren't getting the win... we tried t three different times stealing bikes and leaving, leaving in a different vehicle, or the same as we came in. Didn't matter.

Finally we decided to kill everyone in the base so we could gently caress with every variable, then an Unidad chopper wouldn't leave us alone so we sniped it, all remaining undetected. Then it exploded in the base, blowing our cover and the mission.
