There is a press embargo on the game going up after Ubisoft presentation. It's not just Chinese media who got to play the game.

There could be some correlation, but notice that at the end of the fight Eivor has just 2 "Hearts" for healing, but 6 "Rations". Unless there's some ration crafting for healing? I'm pretty sure the heart shows the rations. You see a "ration full" message when the heart is at eight at the start of the siege. I'm not sure what you see at 6, the losange in the top-right? That's unallocated skill points. They go from 4 to 6 at around 14:00 into the video when Eivor "level up" while killing enemies and there is another +2 once the quest is completed. Also, whomever was playing the game for that video was awful... When Eivor goes to their Inventory, you can see 6 bars of rations. But once they exit the Inventory menu at the end, you can see Eivor has just 2 "Hearts" of healing. But yeah, whoever was playing wasn't great, barely tapped into the range of abilities, and seemed uncertain of what to do at points.

To add to the earlier "Rations" discussion... at the very beginning of the siege, Eivor tries to eat (pick?) some mushrooms, only to be told their Rations are full. By the end of the siege, we can see Eivor went through nearly 1/2 their Rations. Maybe Rations are how full your belly is? A Hunger meter?

Maybe the discount and Ubi points are not allowed in your region. I got a 9% discount in the EU and used 20% from Ubi points on top. Using the Ubi points is a bit of a chore as I recall. You need to activate them on their site, so you get a discount code that you then type into your preorder in the Uplay launcher. Yeah, unfortunately in NA (and Greece for some reason), you can't use the Ubi points discount towards pre-orders or recently released games. That just seems nuts, it means people are being denied a loyalty reward by the regulators!!!!!

Good to know re the 2 years, been using mine a lot lately though so not in danger of them getting to two years

The not!MyAssassinCreed are out in force in the leak threads on the internet. They are really trying to make it sound like everyone hated Odyssey (and Origins). To add to the earlier "Rations" discussion... at the very beginning of the siege, Eivor tries to eat (pick?) some mushrooms, only to be told their Rations are full. By the end of the siege, we can see Eivor went through nearly 1/2 their Rations. Maybe Rations are how full your belly is? A Hunger meter? I've been thinking about it and I think the rations icon in the inventory shows upgrade levels and no quantity. The ship upgrades UI in Odyssey and Origin inventory showed similar bars for upgrade levels of various gear/components. There is even an heart on the pouch.

But I remember Odyssey getting a lot of flack during its run-up too. At any rate, it won't be long before the Ubi presentation and a better idea where they're at. I've been thinking about it and I think the rations icon in the inventory shows upgrade levels and no quantity. The ship upgrades UI in Odyssey and Origin inventory showed similar bars for upgrade levels of various gear/components. There is even an heart on the pouch. Yeah, it could be those bars are the upgrades. I'm just not sure how it correlates with your "Hearts". I mean you're "eating" (filling?) the bag with food which is lying all over the place, and that bag has a storage limit. But it must deplete somehow, otherwise there wouldn't be so much food to pick up. And we've seen Eivor recovering health & heals from fallen enemies. Does it determine the max. number of heals you can have? I dunno...

Enemies probably drop food which are then converted into insta-healing and/or add more "hearts/rations" depending on how many they have and the upgrades unlocked. You can also find food while traveling. It's like a weird mix between DAI health potion with limited stash refill, health pick-ups and EU RPGs where you can only heal by eating stuff. I can already see the design discussions: " People are complaining the AC games are too easy, lets remove auto-regen!"" But how are the players going to get their health back, we don't have magic healing potions/spells in AC?"" ...by buying/finding food!"" ....but most of our players just want to fight stuff and killing things, not deal with buying food..."" ...so lets put health pick-ups on enemy death, give them maxed healing items before starting missions and a general icon instead of having to shuffle the inventory"" and call the whole thing rations!"I just realized that it probably means there is no heal steal item upgrades nor a "second wind" ability in the game.

You're right - the blue glow pick-ups are rations, which means food are healing/heals. I paid closer attention this time to see if there was some sort of pick-up, and there was.

One thing I like about the leak is at least it helped show that they learned from their mistakes in games like Black Flag where they made one side good and the other bad, since we are facing another Viking for the English in that leak.

I wouldn't be so fast to say that they learned from mistakes. England was a bit of a cluster back then with different group of Vikings around and different Saxon kingdoms. Some Vikings were fine with settling "peacefully" in the Danelaw, but others just continued with raiding. Seems like Eivor is among the ones who just want to settle.

Quick before it is gone. Too late...
And I believes these leaks are from previewers who played the game these last few days so they could drop previews after the Ubi presentation. It's not what Ubi is going to present.

azarhal What was in the video? Could you give us a little synopsis since it was taken down? Sorry, I was still watching, taking notes and pretending I'm working at the same time (I'm back at the office). I was lucky the video fully downloaded. Most of the video is a boss fight. It is set before the siege one going by Eivor power level and the quest tracker. Feels like Odyssey special boss fights (the hunts or cyclopes). It "unlock" a mystery for East Anglia once you win. For a game that is supposed to be more grounded than Odyssey, that boss fight had a crazy amount of magical stuff going on. Blink-teleporting boss. Magical blue flame stopping you from leaving the "arena". The boss can summon lightnings too. And I think the person you fight is dead already (based on dialogues) but there is a corpse post-fight so... Some other stuff The Thurisaz rune (the "almost a P" one) is clearly used to indicate certain special attacks. Probably unblockable ones. You can stun bosses if they run out of stamina and then deal lots of damage to them. You can use shields (they don't in the fight, but you can see a light shield in the weapon inventory) They showed the Ability panel. You have to find Books of knowledge to get/unlock abilities. Can only slot 8 of them (4 ranged, 4 melee). The books are usually in heavily guarded areas like monasteries and military camps. There is a wheel to select between the torch, fishing, hood, horn, calling mount and other things. edit: people are saying this is a newer build from the last leak as the menus are slight different in some places. and mirror:

I love the feel of combat, very meaty just like Origins. But that enemy AI isn't great. Not nearly aggressive or smart enough.

I rewatched the new leaked video on my lunch break. You can see some dark spots in the ability section, melee has at least 4 more abilities you can unlock it seems. In the passive skill constellations, there are passives to increase weapon impacts (on top of the other stuff already mention before). So I guess the "weighty" combat start rather light unless you are using an heavy weapon. I think that low power vs higher power combat will feel different. Both leaked videos are in chapter 4 of the game, yet not much of England was visited. Just a section of East Anglia. Back to the map, it looks kinda small and big at the same time. Could be because there is a lot less markers on it. Only settlements, synchronization spot, boat/dock and enemy camps/place seems to be marked. The place where the boss fight happens isn't marked for example. On the other side, the map is basically a parchment map with roads and city outlines. Eivor said "Cursed Seidr" during the fight. That fit. Female Eivor doesn't sound as gruffy in ambient dialogues as she does when addressing people. Is female Eivor trying to pretend she's a dude? Otherwise, Ubisoft totally failed with the voice direction. Saying that, her voice is growing on me so... Also, whomever was playing totally didn't know how to parry/block. There is a consumable section in the inventory, list (3 types of) arrows and ration. There are also resources, crafting materials, trade goods, collectibles, runes, quest items and treasure maps. I found a streamable too: streamable.com/7bfeyx

Thanks for the mirror link azarhal ! Apart from the Boss Fight (some interesting powers, but otherwise your standard arena fight), it was good to see a few new things in this one. Did we ever find out what the "horn" was for? I do like that there's a dedicated fishing button. First peek at the Abilities tab, but not much to go on. It does kinda suck though that Abilities are tied to finding books in the game. Our peek inside the bag, and we can see that Runestones are a resource of some kind. Spear and Shield stats.

Thanks for sharing, azarhal. I don't think this encounter will be typical of much of the gameplay. I can't imagine most of the game being so supernatural, given what they'd said. We'll see. Ugh. Slow, super-sized weapons are still the norm it would seem. Those things would be exhausting to wield. I do wish games would try to better reflect reality in some of these aesthetics. Real weapons, armor and clothing are always so much cooler than the nonsense that games and movies peddle. Oh, well. I didn't like Eivor's voice very much. I'll need to hear more, but it was sort of deep and dry. Meh. I'll play as male Eivor first, anyway. I know his voice from his on screen acting, and expect it will fit nicely. I hope I like female Eivor better with more than this tiny sample. I look forward to seeing more. All of my usual gripes being what they always are, I'm sure this will a fun game.

I just realized that the game probably doesn't have overpower abilities if normal abilities use adrenaline. I'm wondering if we will have to find specific books of knowledge to unlock abilities (i.e. find 3 "kick" books of knowledge") or if it's a generic items and you can use them to unlock/upgrade any of the abilities. I don't think this encounter will be typical of much of the gameplay. I can't imagine most of the game being so supernatural, given what they'd said. We'll see. The first reveal of the game gave me the impression Eivor was a bit crazy. This encounter kinda confirmed it. She inhaled something right before the fight started (made her cough), the whole blue fire, ghost dash and lighting are probably hallucinations. So supernatural but not real-real, just semi-real because it hurt still.

I saw some of the gameplay. Is there a reason why she has her hair draped around the left of her neck? Why not have it different from what Kassandra had? Or is that just one of the different hairstyles the player can choose?
