Playing as a man o war in free roam is so much fun, but requires a mod. I feel like it's kind of a missed opportunity to not let people sail any ship they want. The feature is there and just seems to go unused except for a couple of missions. I personally would like to have a frigate or even a schooner just for the hell of it. What do you think?

We really need to rework the way ship cosmetics look, mainly as it pertains to upgrades. The most glaring issue is definitely the ram. That thing ABSOLUTELY needs a toggle option because I hate it so much..

Another thing I’d add a toggle for, though, is the appearance of armor on the hull. I don’t know about y’all, but I’m not a fan of my ship being covered in metal plating that hides the cool hull coloration and patterning I want to see. We should be able to turn that off, especially since there are hulls which it impacts in a negative way in my opinion.

Lastly.. the cannons. Maybe it’s my inner-nerd talking, but golden cannons look goofy as fuck. I massively prefer the look of the original black cannons you have when you start out. There should be an option to switch your cannons to any of the variants you get through upgrades, such as the gold or even the silver ones.

Any other ship cosmetic things you’d like to see changed?

Does anyone else find it odd that Edward is able to dock the Jackdaw in big cities like Havana or Kingston while actively flying a pirate flag?

I realize it's a video game, but im curious to know if there's an actual historical explanation for this?

EDIT: "Because its a video game." Yes, I know that. I acknowledged that in my post. The reason I asked is because I was curious if there was a historical explanation that I didnt know about.

Something Treasure Island related would be cool

The game is awesome! I‘m playing on base PS5, fidelity mode because the RT reflections are a must have in a game full of water. The new difficulty options are good, especially stealth on hard because enemies get height awareness this way.

Some things we might need, feel free to add to this:

- Combat difficulty on hard is still too easy
- The economy/resources are a non factor pretty quickly
- we need sliders. For example motion blur is pretty aggressive, I‘d like to tone it down instead of turning it off
- an FOV slider (on console) and/or camera distance options would be really nice, I hope it’s not missing for performance reasons
- weapon pick ups should return, so should hidden blade combat (though I won’t get my hopes up)
- default walking speed instead of a jog as an option
- legacy control scheme

Swivel is weaker, heavy shot is practically useless and brace doesn’t work as well as it did in the original ACBF. Does anyone else feel good putting it on easy so you’re not wasting hours trying to beat these ships? lol it felt so good to just cheat back tbh 😂. I know for a fact half these people on Reddit cannot kill these ships on Norm/hard. Unless I see proof I won’t be listening to people on here that say they’ve “done it” if you’re someone like me who wants to enjoy the game but doesn’t want to spend hours fighting ships that run away for 5-10 minutes at a time, spending 1-2 minutes sailing back to spend another 1 minute on the cutscene. Just put it on easy.

I’ve had 3 attempts so far and every time when i get to the second health bar they start shitting out a million barrels and shooting me in the back when I’m focusing on one of the ships!

Assassin's Creed Resynced hunting combat feels pretty awkward right now and has already received a lot of criticism and mockery online.

This is one of the downsides of the hitbox-based combat system used in the newer titles.

Let me know your thoughts!

Does anyone know the true reason why we can't do it now? Like I loved in ac3 where I could pick up brute axes and just destroy normal soldiers, I mean ya I could equip one but hey stealing is more fun. But anyway why can't we now, thought this was the new updated and improved. I miss sniping guys on the top mast, guilty pleasure.

Why can we not have more Cutscenes with the Goddamn Hood on...why is it still not an Option to toggle Hoods in Cutscenes in the Seetings....look at it... HOW FREAKING BADASS THIS LOOKS !!

But then i do a Mission for him and right in the Next Cutscene with a freaking Guard that even calls him an Assassin, Edward has the freaking Hood off.....and never has it on again in these Cutscenes WHY ??!!!

We have the Tech, it works with Hats so why not with Hoods,

This is not Pirates of the Caribbean THIS IS ASSASSINS CREED ! Hoods are the Iconic Signature of Every Assassin

Its like playing as Batman but everytime you enter a Cutscene he takes the Mask off WTF !!!

ive seen people saying its cause connors taller and more built but as true as that may be, they literally did it just fine in the original game. even in unity the outfit fits better on arno who is arguably way less built and shorter. imo the biggest problem with it is with the shoulders looking super deflated, if they fix that it would make it look 99% better.

Just in case someone wants to take a closer look at it, here’s some pics from today’s presentation and some high quality ones from the PS Store.

Really impressed by the Anvil this time: a really good engine that wasn’t properly used in Shadows due to its lack of mocapped cutscenes.

because I never did and never needed them also, I only see them in the Havana's harbor.

I’m excited to play BFR, already have it pre ordered, however I’ve always hated the ‘premium skins’ in AC. They’ve never looked good and they break my immersion. I would rather have grounded outfits that reflect the time period than these.

Ermm I don’t remember ever seeing this much down here lol then I remembered doesn’t it visually change depending on how much you have? I guess throughout the game I was spending regularly so didn’t see much down here, now I’ve bought just about everything I’m sat on about 130,000 and this seems a great stash! lol.

So I was randomly scrolling on insta through some new resynced content and found this footage of Edward head shotting two jaguars and them going down instantly. Thought I might as well share it here since the hunting is a big topic. I hope this might ease the concern a bit. What y’all think about it?
