I'll jump on one neet this week, missed this.

Next major patch drops tomorrow. It's 7gig. It's mostly bug fixes. It sounds frankly underwhelming.

Yup, I tore them a new asshole with the survey.
Got some time off for the next fortnight so I'll be up for jumping back in.

Working sadly.

Is this not the biggie patch that fixes a fuck tonne of the bad? I've been waiting on it to make a return to this game.

Can’t say I blame you mate.

Up for that.

I'm up for this any time, just been busy and playing some COD etc.

Its far, far from a broken mess, no idea why that's being said about it. Not in my experience anyway.

Not the neet Scott, I'm riddled with the lurgi. I'm up for a raid but I'm not expecting much, can't see a raid in this coming close to the Destiny madness.

Shirley though if it's drone based missions, they'll give us more drone effective weapons so we don't just get constantly mouth bummed?

True.

Right, need to level up 25 levels by Friday. Easy.

Ooof!

Hilarious news from Ubisoft.
The change from Act1 to Act2 with the Battle Rewards has broken the battle rewards system, so they're shutting the system down until they can work out a fix.
This is actually good for us because they are giving every Act1 and Act2 battle reward to every player, so nobody has to grind for this stuff now.
This of course also means that people who have already grinded for these rewards can now legitimately feel like chumps. Such is life.

Ah, they're promising to fix Ghost Recon in the spring though...

Working sadly
