a. setting a time limited place too hard for causal player. as i played two( or 7 different challenger), the group or man make this idea, should be watching too much on "hit man" or some streamer, or youtube, on a set route over killing / clear a site. i think most players would not spend time to find a "perfect route" , esp ppl only have an hr or only weekend to be able to play this game for an hr or more. it is first stupid as it is not a mode for an general and causal player, but these players group are the most active and majority in the game.

b. i dont think why ppl would like this , if the mode just require ppl to find a " perfect routine " and "timely attack" to done the golden medal. anyone would be doing it in the game? i means the whole game, whole mission etc... so what the point of this mode? AC is not "hit man"

c. taking time to make such stupid mode, how about use the similar to make the game more stable, and less of bug.

this mode get causal player so frustrated, and i dont want to play this game too , i hated it after they make a mode that is too hard for causal, and general player, and the mode , the idea behind it is so obvious, ppl have to find a "perfect routine" and "timely kill", u think ppl would repeatly play a mode like that( an AC player, not a hit man player)?

i have unistall this game, and wait for coming DLC, hoping i can completed this game as soon as possible, as i didnt want to log in again,after playing the mastery challenge mode, totally wasting my time as i enjoy the freedom play on the game and the series of good story , not look for playing "AC hit man"

@vm4m9tz4pb I agree with your sentiment. Just wanted to tell you that this mode is not time limited. It's a permanent addition to the game.

speak for you, it was my fun to fail, until i find the right path. Going on youtube looking for a solution without having the brains to find it yourself, is not only throwing your money, limiting the fun, but it's just as dumb as someone who goes through a crossword puzzle by going to check the solution on the back! XD

@caosck I actually would have liked it but it was executed very poorly. They could have given us suggestions and made us select setups, for each challenge. Which would made us find out the best setup. Sadly a few (one at least) challenges are bugged. Got gold on every challenge. But it was not easy. They are actually easy but too many veeerryy convinient things happen within them.

@boo-yah1907
the truth is that they already give you IDEAL equipment for every mission I've seen so far ...! these are all excuses ... I have never heard a user who "demands" a new sword for pacman .. enjoy the game for what it is, otherwise, create one yourself (it is not dedicated to you, to every user with ridiculous claims)

@caosck Calm down dude. Was just an opinion. If you cant handle opinions why do you hang out at this forum? It would have freed ubi from the responsibility that comes from the setups. If anything my suggestion would have made it harder for players but also responsible for their own buildup. I can give you tons of examples(setups) that are better suited for the given challenges, but thats not the problem. The problem is that ubi keeps releasing buggy features one after another without fixing a previous one completly. Also where did you get the idea of swords? I did not mention such a thing. One last thing are you familiar with actual history at all, which these games claim to depict accurately as much as possible? So why is it to much to "ask" for a short sword wielding viking hero, in a viking game, from the get go? Its one of the simplest weapons in history, including the games history.

@boo-yah1907 you have read the part:
" (it is not dedicated to you, to every user with ridiculous claims)" ? XD

about swords and packman was a joke how did you not understand it ...? : |

@caosck If so why did you ever replied to my comment in the first place? Of course the packman thing is a joke. I made my comment after finishing every single inch of the game, including achievements(including a true master). So that is why i took the sword part as real(not the packman part) and commented back on that, since that is one of the shortcomings of the game. I wonder, which claims you find ridiculous? Since people have paid for the game, they should get to share their opinions(as long as its constructive). This might sound ridiculous to you but i would have enjoyed the game without the cairns, festivals and over the top(fantasy) gear items(turning the game into fantasy hack and slash type)

@boo-yah1907 I felt free to answer you exactly as you have felt the freedom to express a criticism ..! I have absolutely nothing against you, I just think differently

I read complaints of all kinds every day, everyone has their own vision and would like the game to change according to their tastes, without ever having the ability to "adapt" to the game for what it is. this is an example of a stupid complaint: in my post, I was careful to specify, it is not aimed strictly at you, but at the general user of AC (from which so far I have seen more complaints than anything else! XD) I admit that my sentence is definitely "provocative" as I prefer to call the "comment" stupid than a specific user ... but I did it just to try to make the idea better ...!

in this specific case, I find it stupid to ask to customize the equipment ... sorry but I think I understand that the beauty of this challenge is to overcome every obstacle by limiting any kind of advantage that will make the game too easy ..

In short.. either the game is too easy, or the game is too hard .. ahuahhahaha (how to say, woe if you do, woe if you don't!)

@caosck Rather than going off instantly you could have posted your first sentence. Thank you for comming to that conclusion anyway. Ps: Dont use air quotes its just cringy. If you dont wanna say something just dont say it. (suggestion)

"in this specific case, I find it stupid to ask to customize the equipment ... sorry but I think I understand that the beauty of this challenge is to overcome every obstacle by limiting any kind of advantage that will make the game too easy .."

Jeah, obstacles like enemies killing themself, enemies with bugs, broken bows, kills not counting towards the mission...

@boo-yah1907 I think you misunderstand!
I have not experienced any nuisance:
I would like to point out the title of this post: (is a stupid mode) for me is a stupid request/consideration ! XD

now you understand why I answered like this (without thinking about it so much) It is not an offense referring to any user, I only judge the intentions

@tascer i dont understand where is the problem...

@caosck read again

"Jeah, obstacles like enemies killing themself, enemies with bugs, broken bows, kills not counting towards the mission..."
@boo-yah1907 I haven't had any of those problems! I'm sorry for you!

@tascer

Jeah, obstacles like enemies killing themself, enemies with bugs, broken bows, kills not counting towards the mission...

I had the same problems, and seems that a lot of people had at least one them (seen in this forum, other forums, Reddit)
I 'll add that some ennemies scripts have been changed in Patch 1.2.2, so fisrt time you encouter them in them after Patch if it's in the challenge you have a "surprise"

I left this challenge : scripts don't need me if they kill themselves ...

@caosck For example: My problem is, that while doing the wolf challenge, despite killing everyone with headshots AFTER hitting their weak... after hitting their stun points(!), i don't have enough points. Let me make this clear: I check for the little shiny effect after every kill, so it definitely counts. There are not enough enemies to begin with. And multiple times some of others are even killing themselfs or by friendly fire.
The amount of time wasted for that stupid broken mode is insane.

Adding another negative point. Shooting from below the enemy breaks bow gameplay. Arrows missing their target! You see the red hitmarker, but it either misses completely or you hit the body.

And while hitting a weak spot while the enemy is close to a ledge, there is a high chance for him to climb down without being stunned...
And sometimes they just die from the weakspot-hit.

The problem is, game mechanics are broken af, the AI is broken in the game and especially in those challenges and it's no fun to play AT ALL. They (all devs involved in this content) should be forced to play every challenge for gold.

@tascer to get to gold, you need to use all types of kills possible with the bow: from above from below shoot the oil jars etc etc if you have not reached the maximum score, there is clearly something missing ..! (headshot is not enough) I'm sorry for all the users who have encountered big problem (bug) I fortunately have not accused any of this ..!

about hitting the enemy with the bow to stun him! sometimes it can happen that it moves at the last moment and you do not hit the weak point that causes its stunned! (or better yet, has more weak points to hit before you stun it)

the AI is broken in the game and especially in those challenges

on this I agree the enemies are actually dumb, they move in a stupid way, and very easy to cheat them .. But it is a reasoning I can do now that I have exceeded 300 hours of play (first playing I was dying all the time! as I did not know certain mechanics XD ..!)

@caosck No, for 1000 points (Odin's Mine) i have to hit all the weakpoints and finish them all with headshots. And i do. Actually, i did a few times but ended up a few points short.
There is no need to use any other method of killing anyone.
Sometimes i even saw damage numbers through the cave walls or enemies doing a 180degree turn away from me, then backflipping to their death right before my eyes.

I'm happy for you, that you were able to complete it without any gamebreaking bugs, but they are in the game. And they ruin that mode.
