Assassins Creed Odyssey

I am a huge fan of the modern stay story line, it is what hooked me when I first started playing AC games with AC3. I think its an important way that the game differentiates itself from being just another stabby fantasy game and I enjoy that the Isu arc lets the game get away with stuff like The Spear of Leonidas and enemies such as The Minotaur, Medusa and the Sphynx.

I am not however a fan of Layla and her current incarnation, hopefully for the future she gets a make over and a personality.

You are Level 70 aren't you? since I hit 70 and the bar got about a third of the way along I hadn't noticed it moving at all. Someone mentioned earlier that they had seen some thing that for points earnt after 70 we'd get extra ability points at some stage but I may just be remembering something in the wrong context.

Everyone that is lvl 70 before January update will receive 30 ability points, from what i've read the xp is bugged at 70 so i think a reset happening, not sure though.

Im hoping it a big update tbh maybe with NG+ an some, if not new, maybe something different with the legendary sets you get from the story, dont know how i'd feel doing it all again just for xp, maybe add a extra perk onto the pieces that way there top tier. Wouldn't mind a new area but that idea probably reserved for dlc though Division did do it with Piers

Great game an 2 looks AWESOME 😁😁👍

I played AC1-3 and then Odyssey, so I'm not sure how Origins handled it. I like the series taking an alternative spin of world history, and the sci-fi elements it allows, but it just feels aimless and a little silly at times. Desmond narrating the conception of Altair's son, or Ezio speaking directly to him was a bit cringy. And while getting ready to get back to the series I read about, what happened in between, and...not much? The whole thing felt fresh in AC1, but since Desmond's arc ended, it feels like they're stretching a short plot into infinity.

I've seen like 4 minutes outside of the Animus so far in Odyssey, and I'm not waiting with excitement for more. It seems more like something they have to do, because of the series, and not something they want to do.

But I'm halfway through, so maybe something will wow me.

After Black Flag they really lost the plot with the whole future arc. It was like Ubi thought it wasn't worth pursuing anymore in Unity but then they introduced ne stuff in Syndicate but then resolved it in comics, something that I wasn't aware of at the time and that really pissed me off. So yeah Desmond biting the bullet was a major full stop in that whole thing and angered a lot of people, Origins did little to try and resurrect it and what they did do was lame and so pretty much was the Odyssey stuff but in particular the character of Layla. She is going to need  serious injection of personality (and better acting ) if they are going to pursue the future line of the story.

Just wondering if how they ended it in Odyssey means they may well have parked the issue . Wont comment more cause I don't want to spoil your game play but maybe others have thoughts on that? Do you think the way they ended Odysssey has given them a get out clause for continuing the future arc stuff? Spoliering comments may be good for those who haven't finished. Obsidian Gryphon do you think the whole premise of what happened with Kass and Layla could be a full stop on that whole side of the story?

No you don't colfoley, you only need PS+ if you want to use matchmaking, you can play all missions solo, explore the world solo an when max lvl even do it all on challenging if you want, which alot prefer to do.

The world is only shared if your in a group, other than that the only time you will see anyone is in a safe house or base of operations, once you step out of those no a single person will be seen unless invited or you go to Dark Zone a pvepvp zone.


Dazk, never thought of it that way tbh m8, an giving how little actual AC is in Odyssey it could be argued they want it done, but then all the DLC seems focused there so yeah.

Personally i think Odyssey suffers being under the AC name, i think it would've done better without it's baggage but then im biased in that i've always wanted a epic game set in these times, just not AC an all that it brings, setting an ship combat grabbed me the AC tag stopped a half price sale got me to buy it

colfoley re TD it works on something called instances which I believe is what simit is saying. Someone tried to explain it to me but my basic takeaway of it was if I get invited by someone to even play Co-Op it takes place in their "instance" of the game and you are both put on to the same server. As Simit said when you are free roaming you do it in your own instance of the game and when you do a mission its the same unless you choose to do it at the start of the mission with other people and if they join they join your instance of the game. Basically does my head in but it makes sense.

simit it just dawned on me when I was writing it. Spoilers

It's possible. The problem is what was said to Layla, that she will be the one to restore the balance. Note the word used; will. I've no idea how that certainty came about, with what premise or information Kass has in hand. But she believes it or she wouldn't have said it. The Atlantis DLC might show us how she came to that belief. In which case, we would see events of the past, not the present. 

However, given how the book ended; Kass was told she made a mistake by demolishing the Cult, Atlantis may also deal with the rise of another group that took the place of the Cult, another antecedent to the present Templars.   
  

This book / novel.



It was mentioned before. I guess you forgot.   Kass is the canon character / the elder of the children. Alexios refused to be saved because he believed he had done too much evil. Kass killed him. 

What do you consider a mob because i am playing on easy mode and yesterday i killed a level 70 mercenary they are never 4 levels below me more like the same level as i am or 1 or 2 levels lower then me.  Same goes for elite soldiers cultists and other soldiers. The only enemies i can think of that were 4 levels lower then me were those Legendary Animals but that also depends on when you attack them.  I killed those animals when i was at least strong enough to kill them so i waited.     

And in Pephka in the arena they stay at level 50 so pretty easy.

Again i find this very strange i'm playing on easy mode but the enemies are never 5 levels lower then me ( not even when i wait 4 levels tops ) they are the same or 1 or 2 levels lower so what difficulty are you playing ?

I was never able to kill a wolf with one hit in Phokis but now that i'm level 70 i can kill a wolf in one hit with my bow but not always though.  And i remember ... this was not so long ago though ... a couple of days that i fought a lion i was level 69 and he almost killed me with three hits so i had to run.  And no matter what i tried i could not do much damage to him with my swords i think this was a bug or something i had to kill him with my bow from a distance.

Talking about legendary animals for me the bear was the most difficult one closely followed by the wolf  but he was not playing fair.  Because whenever he howled there were three or four of those little wolfs helping him grrr. And the Boar was the funniest one because whenever he farted there was a cloud of green poisoned smoke  the first time i laughed out loud when he farted. I was hoping for a reaction from Kassandra when he farted like oooow the smell it's horrible or something like that but no ... nothing ... no reaction.  And you're right a rooster should not do any damage whatsoever when you're wearing full legendary body armor.

This also happened to me this was with a civilian i was level 53 or something and i was wearing full legendary body armor and i was also wielding a legendary weapon.  She ( the civilian ) wore a dress and she was barehanded i had about 90% of my health and she kicked my ass and i had to run for my life ... very strange and also very unrealistic and also probably a bug ?
