I think after the whole store bought armor sets outnumbering the base game armorsets debacle, seeing the river raids mode is a refreshing and a long needed change that this game needed in terms of post launch support.

I haven't played the mode enough so this post is primarily based on my early impressions of the mode.

First, I have been seeing tons of posts on reddit and even on this forum mentioning that the game doesn't 'feel' like a viking game. I think, with the addition of the river raids, to some extend, the game does feel like a viking game. And I can also see why this is added as a separate mode compared to the base game, as the base game was supposed to serve as an 'Assassin's Creed' game.

Second, looking at the core mechanics, I really like that instead of adding just new maps, abilities and gears (which definitely were needed), the game has also introduced new raiding mechanics such as jomsviking health, ranks and raiding alert level. In addition (I am not entirely sure), but once you raid a location, there is a cooldown where the location is destroyed and randomly generated again bringing replayability in the mode. Even the small things like ringing a bell to refresh the recruitable jomsviking is well thought out (now if only there was a way to recruit friends' jomsviking). Overall, all these mechanics are nice, and even though they aren't as comprehensive as the ones developed for standalone games, they are still detailed enough to serve as part of a new game mode.

Finally, I was fan of the mysteries and puzzles in the base game, and based on the initial impressions, they are also a part of the new game mode, which is great.

Overall, river raids mode has delivered (atleast based on the initial impressions), but only time will tell, how much this mode keeps the community engaged.

Let players overcome challenges on their own efforts and create positive emotions with the brand to buy and max profits and max charity donations for orphans. Please feedback to management.

First of all, I would like to express my sincerest gratitude for giving us this masterpiece. The story is touching, important and even teaches a lesson.
The gameplay, the combat, the fun - its all there.
This is my first AC since the third installment and I am in awe.
I love how you integrated the norse mythology into your story!

Some suggestions:
Is it possible to add companions system?
For instance, take Sigurd with me to my adventures. He showed me the Isu tree of life, but then again I found Isu barracks, where A magic sword was located, I could show him this. This way continuing their mutual story. It would be interesting to see them react together on this.
Second, please make the monasteries reset and have goods again after the raid. Make them harder to raid, the next time I try to go there. It will give sense of the awareness of my presence among native population. They would know that there are raiders that are always around, so the next times monasteries are better prepared and the battle is harder. Maybe they will get additional blockades, ground obstacles to stop vikings. This will add life to the game.
Romance interactions.
I am talking about Randvi. There are no things that you can do with her at all, meanwhile with Petra you can do archery, drinking and dice.
Please add options to Randvi relationship. Maybe Eivor would take her to a raid, or axe throwing contest, drinking, pig chasing. Just anything. Another suggestion, although wild - marriage. That can be fun, if implemented properly.


And the last but not least.
The pronoun issue. In the pre-release talks Ubisoft representatives mentioned that both genders are canons, yet the game often confuses their genders. Sometimes they call male Eivor "her" "she" and sometimes female Eivor is being called "him" "his" "he"

Could you please adjust pronouns to fit properly to each gender. Right now the pronouns are not adjusted well and it is immersion breaking sometimes.


Thank you!
