Has anyone heard a date for when NG+ would be available. On second thought, I may actually give it a whirl.

Has anyone heard a date for when NG+ would be available. On second thought, I may actually give it a whirl. We know it's this month, but no one knows for certain when. I would think they'd want to release it ASAP, given that some sort of bugs are inevitable. My first PT was flawless. Each successive patch has introduced new bugs. None of them are horrible, but it's annoying that Ubisoft always does this to their PS4 releases. NG+ should be great. I'm going to check the site to see what, if anything, they've detailed about it. I'll edit in any news I find. EDIT: No news from Ubisoft. I think jorraptor might've shared some more specific info gained during his visit to Ubi via his YouTube vids. I can't check now, though. I did notice that being stuck at 99% is a known bug on PC. I'm not sure if it's an issue on other platforms.

Still 99% Nice sig btw Also, grats for your team.

I did the Trial of Sekhmet today, and no reward dropped. I should've gotten the next warrior bow in the series and the Radiance of Anubis outfit for completing the set. I was playing with enemy auto-leveling on Nightmare, and wonder if this bugged it. I'm not too worried about the two items I wouldn't have used anyway. I don't like falling behind in the sets, though. This means that when others are collecting the next sword, which I likely would've used, I'll still be chasing this bow and outfit. Kind of sucks. Ubisoft's forum is so bad that I don't feel like logging in and commenting. At a glance, I didn't see any threads complaining about a similar experience with this trial. EDIT: Disregard the above whining. I forgot how the Trials work, and only remembered when I began to explain it below.

The trial thing has had me confused from the get go. Are there diff rewards every time they're out? If so, I'm way behind I think Disregard my earlier whining about not getting my reward. That's not how the Trials work, anymore. The first series of items are immediately rewarded, but not the "Golden Set" and beyond. They're tied to community participation, meaning you and X number of fellow gamers must complete the trial during the week to unlock the reward. (X varies by platform. PS4 has the most gamers, so it's higher for us. XB1 and PC are fewer in that order.) Yes, an award is available each time you complete a trial. One award is available for completing a single week's trial, no matter how many gods you defeat in that window. (You can't just beat Sekhmet multiple times for multiple rewards, for instance. Additional fights just earn you XP and gold.) The trials rotate in the following order: Trial of Anubis, of Sobek, of Sekhmet, then Trials of the Gods (all three on the map). During that fourth one, the TotG, you only need to defeat one of the three to "participate" and qualify for your reward. There are four items in each item set. Completing a set also earns you an outfit. This trial will complete the second set for those who haven't missed a single trial. Looks like PS4 is over halfway to goal, as I type. The order of the items awarded is always the same: Regular Sword, Scepter, Shield and Warrior Bow. Scepters suck, so I don't care about those. I don't much care to dress as Anubis, either. The swords and shields are my favorites, and always both great-looking and top shelf in quality. For those that missed or lost Jackal's Gaze, it is an upcoming reward for a future Trials series. Of course, you'll have to have collected every item in sequence before it. I already have JG on my main save, so I'm mostly just wanting the swords and shields, and chasing my completionist inclinations. I'm really looking forward to the Sword of the Duat. (I posted a pic earlier in the thread.) That will be a very good weapon to have, between looks and effectiveness. An important detail with these Community Challenge rewards (Golden Anubis Set and all subsequent) is that you can only redeem your reward on a single save file. With NG+ coming, this should be less annoying, as we can keep using the same save indefinitely (I hope).

I tried to play AC3 on my PC last night......I forgot how awful it is as far as game mechanics and how it performs on the PC in general. I'm sad. Guess if I want to play it I'll have to do it on the Xbox.

Been a few years since I played it but I always thought it was OK on PC Certainly I would have rated it better than ACO for game mechanics.

They're tied to community participation, meaning you and X number of fellow gamers must complete the trial during the week to unlock the reward. (X varies by platform. PS4 has the most gamers, so it's higher for us. XB1 and PC are fewer in that order.) To clarify, are those things basically SP content locked behind MP participation? No, there’s no MP in ACO. Special activities pop-up in SP and remain available for one week at a time. You can complete the activity as little or as often as you wish. Those who participate get a special bonus item. If a large number of gamers participate, all participants get another special bonus item. The events rotate and reappear, so the opportunity to snag the bonus items isn’t lost if you miss an event. Items are rewarded sequentially, meaning you always receive the “next addition” to your respective inventory. It’s a pretty cool way to offer support for the game. I’ve been playing something else, but I still played ACO for about 10 minutes this week, contributed to the goal and expanded my collection.

I try to run and he will jerk to the left like he is having some sort of spasm. Try to climb and he goes the wrong way, jump to something and he will miss. It's terrible I didn't mean I didn't like the combat, all previous entries to ACO have better combat. ACO is beautiful, I love Bayek and the story, but I will never like the warrior type fighting in my ACO game. Sorry Ubisoft.

The climbing though I thought was really good. The combat was the stock standard back then so I liked it And yes the new combat sucks

Bah! You two are crazy! The combat is clearly great! mediocre. I think it’s a step in the right direction, but I’m not really attached to it. I think it fits Bayek. If we ever had that long asked for Samurai game, for instance, I’d like to see the combat tailored to that specific title and setting. The control scheme need not change dramatically, but smoother looking animations would probably be a positive. Bayek feels a bit heavy on his feet, at times.

Finally got around to watching the TV show 'Knightfall' and I spent the first ep having serious AC1 flashbacks. Still the best game of the series for setting and tone for me.

Just wait until a group of secret assassins who are also tracking the Grail appear. Whoever wrote this series really seems like it took some notes from AC.

Well, I’m playing RoTK13, but ACO got a huge update.
NG+ is now a thing. Discovery Tour is also live. There’s been a new content pack released. (These are cooler with NG+, since we can collect them via in-game Reda quests.)
A new TotG is live this week. I’ve heard that no new items are being added. This means that it won’t help players like me who’ve never missed a TotG. It’s a catch-up week for the rest of you!

I just started seeing some really creepy and weird mirages close to the pyramids of Giza. There was a fish, then a flying scarf that was dark red or black, a flamming bush, some flowers and a woman tending to some flowers. They all disapeared when i came too close and one even led me to a ambush. Also when i was on top of the Great Pyramid of Giza i saw a meteor shower, but that one i am not sure if it was real or not. ps: I suppose those mirages may have something to do with the Messenger automatic message left by the people who came before inside one of the pyramids.

I've started doing some of the discovery tour yesterday, I really like it. I can't stop taking pictures either, some one pls send help I think the mirages are because you have been in the desert too long, Bayek will suffer from them....and then be over it quickly. I thought it was a neat touch though. Maybe I can remember to do the TotG and get whatever I missed, I'm sure I missed stuff. Have any of you checked out all the stuff that is 50% off? I'm just wondering if any of you think any of it is worth getting?

The meteor shower was a hallucination, too. All of them are due to heat exposure. There's a trophy for one of the most extreme hallucinations. Edit: , sort of.

I assumed it was because I'd been in the desert too long.
