Ah yeah, that territory. I wouldn't have regarded as a massive spoiler TBH.
Though it would be interesting to see how that ties up at the end of it all considering that

Having enjoyed the base game immensely... I hate to say this but I just can't get into the Ireland expansion. I guess it's just a matter of being too overly familiar with the game mechanics now, there is no challenge left any more, or any desire to explore landscapes which don't really offer anything different to the England map.
I'm not sure what it is, but Ireland looks a bit drab compared to the other maps in the game too, always quite overcast and raining... which doesn't do the games lighting engine any favours as it looks best in full sunshine.
Oh well. I'll try and push through but the expansions storyline isn't grabbing me either.

I think something is bugged with the
I have collected all 11 stone tablets for Excalibur yet 1 pillar remains empty
If you don't like the weather, just meditate. The lighting in the game is gorgeous, so I just skip past night time when it gets there.
They added the double xp thing from Odyssey after launch but I can't imagine anyone needing it.
Couple of hours into the Ireland DLC and I'm really disappointed with it. Feels like they mailed it in. I'm from Ireland and my hype levels were crazy to finally play a game set in my country.
Turns out it's just a re-tread of the exact same shit we've been doing for nearly 100 hours in the main game. I'll finish it out, but I'm left feeling underwhelmed

What's the best armor set for a ranged build? I'm planning on doing hunter or predator bows instead of light bows btw.
Still looking for confirmation if this is bugged or not

Could certainly be a bug but are you sure you actually collected them all? I had to go back to one of the caves I thought I'd already cleared because I forgot to pick one up.
I feel like there is constant tearing on Series X. Is that supposed to be the case? I think it e addressed or fixed.
I think you only need 11 right? If so I got 11. Isn't one of the pillars meant to already have a stone in it?
I'm thinking of grabbing this through Ubisoft for the PC while it is on sale, does anyone know if I can play this in offline mode through Ubisoft Connect? There will be sometimes in the coming months where I'll have limited internet connectivity, and if I could play offline it would make purchasing this an easier decision. Thanks!
Yeah a new game mode was added for free as well as some new skills it seems
These mastery challenges are complete garbage. It's getting torn to shreds on True achievements currently. Some of these objectives are a joke. If you mess up on one single enemy, you have locked yourself out of getting a gold rank on that run.
Yikes. I'm not high enough to try since I only started recently. But if there is no leeway that's rough.
These wouldnt be so bad if they let you keep your own stuff, but you have to do them with a build they give you. Heres an example of how ridiculous one of these is. You need to kill a certain amount of enemies by fall damage, fire damage, and parry a certain amount of times. Sometimes your parry sets off fire damage. Say you have fulfilled the amount of enemies you need to set on fire, and you are done with parrying. You have done everything perfectly so far. You then kick an enemy off a ledge, but he hits a wall on the way down. It does not count as fall damage. Youve now locked yourself out of a gold ranking. Time to restart.
Or say you still need parry and only fall damage kills. You go to parry, but it sets off the fire and the fire kills a single enemy. That also locks you out of gold ranking.

Paris looks more-less exactly like England. But I guess that was to be expected with asset reuse. And just to be clear I have no issues with asset reuse if done properly but if you spend 100h watching at similar assets and then you get DLC set in different country and you still are looking at same assets it becomes issue (at least for me).
oh no…lol. I thought I was done with this game for awhile after just finishing the trophies for the first DLC last week. Now I'm scared after seeing the update and your post.
yeah, ive 100% completed every AC game to date and I cannot think of anything that matches this in difficulty in any of the games. If anyone played Valhalla on easy button mashing, they would need to completely learn the combat system in depth to be able to complete these
I've only had time to try the very first combat mastery challenge but I liked what I saw. Took a few attempts to get the gold and I liked that it forced me to change up my approach. I'll probably get turned on to mechanics I completely ignored in the main game. We'll see how the rest go.
The last thing this game needs is more content. I'm around PL 220 after 60 hours and still nowhere near the end, 50% according to my stats.
Guess we know which ending you got. 😂
I don't mind them taking the Witcher 3 route with the multiple endings but it can be really soul crushing to put that much time into a game and then wind up with a disappointing ending.
The ending to Odyssey was whatever for me. Maybe it's because I did the Pythagoras line 100 asap. But having the ending be a dinner doesn't 3 feel impactful. And the cult ending was also like, whatever.
Hmm might've changed my mind for the worse regarding the mastery challenges. Failing them because the game bugs out is not fun. Like the stealth ones in particular Eivor will fucking vault a wall and lose anonymity instead of hanging from it. Or jump down next to an enemy instead of letting me perform an air assassination.
have you tried the wolf challenge at Odins Mine yet? You have to hit the weak point and headshot every single enemy. If you miss one, then you can't get gold. But the problem isn't even doing the objective. It's that the enemies will kill each other or themselves by jumping off ledges before you can kill them because the AI is terrible. It's the worst challenge by far.
Sooooo any chance I can get to level 220 before the "event" ends? I'm only like 70 right now.
Ah, that's true. I don't know if it's really worth it tbh but if you're determined then grinding world events would probably be the fastest way to do it. 90% of them don't involve combat so you can pretty much go anywhere for them.
I thought about that too. I would like a sweet reward, but I can't grind up that fast.
My gripe with these mastery challenges so far is that there isn't enough leeway for getting gold rank. You literally have to be perfect in some stages which can get a little ridiculous at times with how long the stages are. It's very frustrating to make it through 5 minutes of a level perfectly and then have one miss and have to restart the entire level if you are aiming for gold.
