The forums are full of complaints as people battle it out for the league rankings on the game - unfortunately, right there, is where the exploit exists. Let me explain.
Once you go into 'Online Hacking' there comes a point when you may want to come out of it.
e.g. I watched Ellohime hit 100K followers and leave online hacking so he could chat to his Twitch followers for a few minutes."
Ubisoft says they are focusing on two "core verticals," and that's to return as a leader in the open world genre, and live service games.
Calling Ubisoft a leader in open world gaming at any point in time would be like calling Dollar General a leader in retail.
Well, to be fair, they did pump out good open world games before. It was used as a template so much that people now know what it means when you say it's like an Ubi open world collectahon.
What though? I can't think of one game they had where I liked anything about it. Atleast since the ps3/360 Gen
If they have never been the leader in open world gaming, then explain me this: why does almost every open world game follow the same tired old Ubisoft open world formula?
Follow the Leader.
I don't think they were ever the leader tbh. I've never really cared for any of their open world games. I do wanna try watch dogs 2 because it looks like it's set in San Fran. Looked interesting
Hanzala from eXputer: "With Ubisoft's practices becoming increasingly anti-consumer lately, the destruction of The Sands of Time Remake looks almost inevitable."
Hey Ubi, here's a gun, don't shoot yourself in the foot.
*Ubi takes gun, aims at foot, empties clip*
Top executives including games boss Sean Shoptaw have also been promoted…
can we get some approvals please?
Not really too bad, it just reset your stance.
What I hate about online hacking is when they get you a target, and he is no where good for it. One time I had a guy in the middle of the ocean and he just stopped and sat there when it alerted I came. As you can imagine, one random person swimming out to him, wonder who the intruder is?
It's even worse when that happens in tailing. Tailing is super fun when its a crowded place or places to hide, but when they get the advantage and run to a wide open area where no one is, it becomes too hard. I just think a simple fix would be to have the AI act out more. Have them run, or roam to random spots, etc... so an actual player doesn't stick out so bad.
This explains so much. I've been playing WAY too much and am currently sitting at 22nd in the world. So when I saw the top of the leaderboard and see that they have almost 4 times as many points as me in half the time, I got really confused.
I guess I'll have to wait for them to clear the leader boards of players who have reset.
The online in this game is super fun, they really should have made a mode similar to the fixer side quest where you are both in cars and you have to stay close to download the data then wreck and kill them, that would have been way fun against a human opponent.
If you're hacking someone else, be sure to avoid blowing steam pipes or electrical objects. They can cause damage to your opponent, either willingly or not, and cause you to immediately lose the match.
