At this point, not a SINGLE ONE of my friends have been able to play this mode. Not a SINGLE ONE. Still being on the "this information has been communicated to our development team" step six months later is a travesty.
Expect a massive boycott of they next DLC/season pass, you're dangerously underestimating how many people are impacted by this glitch. People like us who would make posts on reddit or this forum are in the vast minority. We bought the season pass so we stayed on board for year 1, don't expect us to get on board for year 2. Unless you make an official acknowledgement of this glitch soon, don't even bother announcing new DLCs to be honest, you'll miss out on 5-6% of sales, to be conservative. No one cared about Tombs of fallen and River raids, if you had any metric you'd know that. No one cares about festivals. Mastery challenges is the one everyone got excited about. Check your metrics.
I believe that such a proportion of players not being able to play the most popular mode during six months REQUIRES at least some form of official communication, even if it's some corporate BS, at least to feel heard. This is disrespectful at this point.
I've contacted an influential AC vlogger on Patreon. To paraphrase our discussion, he has tried to stay positive despite the multiple glitched releases over the years and was the only one who spoke in terms of appeasement when Unity got botched, he hasn't been impacted by this glitch but many of his friends have and he'll probably make a video about it soon. So there's that to look up to, maybe the negative coverage will hurt your sales and make you honest, since candid feedback had no impact.
@neacroe thanks for the love. I'm just waiting for today's change log. You know what's the worst thing ? I actually wrote down a preemptive workaround in the first pages of this thread, but I only discovered it after the glitch reached its final state. If during the very first time you talk to her and she attacks you, you randomly mash every button on the controller, the glitch doesn't appear.
They even acknowledged my workaround in this thread. The least they could do is publically acknowledge the glitch and this workaround so that most people don't stay trapped as we are.
Wait nevermind you can keep the fix, I just discovered Ghost of Tsushima
Just spitballing here, can't you just work on an option to reset the mastery challenges questline from scratch? It really really really really sucks to pour yourself body and soul in a game for 400+ hours, becoming real good at it and to be deprived of something called mastery challenge...
So many of your players say the stealth is broken for instance, I never had any problems with it, it's just way more difficult than in other games. Reading about people complaining that the mastery challenges are too hard makes me so jealous, what I would give for an actual challenge in this game.
Can we expect a workaround before the end of the current event ? I rushed though the game just to be at 221 power for this, I've been a day one player of this series but I think this is the last time I buy an ubisoft project at launch to be frank
@ubi-borealis So far have spoken with 12 people with the glitch. I've heard of two different people who managed to get over this glitch.
First one apparently mashed all buttons on his controller during the fight cutscene after reloading his save to before the meteor crashed.
Second one simply did another mission in the settlement.
As to me, finishing a job in Asgard removed the "Progress in the main story" pointer, even after having saved. I'll check in a few minutes whether I still have the glitch.
Most people with the glitch are on PS4, one guy was on Xbox One, I myself am on PS4 Pro.
@ubi-borealis Sadly, as soon as I exit Asgard the mission marker becomes glitched again. Two hours left for the axe, too bad I guess
@mekki369 glad it helped you. Unfortunately after some point you can't even trigger the cutscene anymore.
If you read this and can still talk to the woman, try my method asap before it's too late. This game is great but buh-roken.
@drivenapart I feel like the fixes future instances of this bug but if you already encountered the bug, you're f-ed
Hello guys, happy new year!
I totally understand your lack of data on the investigation. I believe the main point of frustration for posters in this thread is the fact that this issue is STILL not in the known issues thread, which is provoking some fear and uncertainty. A lot of us feel like this issue is getting quietly pushed under the rug. Could you please add that issue to the known issues thread as a sign of good faith ?
It's a real shame because I absolutely LOVE the direction the games are going in. Yesterday's announcements were INSANE.
And I do appreciate mods on this forum, they're just following orders. But it's really frustrating as a long time fan, who even considered accepting a job offer at one point, to be ignored.

@Ubi-Nacho @Ubi-Borealis @UbiStorm will the newest update about data restructuring open the possibility of some kind of fix for us?

JK. Is there any kind of ETA or at least some details on what could provoke the phenomenon? That way I can try to find a workaround
