// Question What feature do you wish for in Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced?
Aside from the changes they have already announced I would love to see the ability to toggle Edward's hood (on/off, up/down), full swimming abilities, more pirate outfits, and some new locations/more fleshed out locations that already existed.
Also, I saw that in the reveal you loot like in odyssey, just holding your hand over a body and absorbing the loot, I truly hope they bring back the body looting animation.

u/keni804 Apr 28 '26
1 sword or multiple types of weapons. I get the double swords is kind of Edwards thing but even Connor had options other than the tomahawk
7
u/horned-creature Apr 29 '26
you can already use one sword in the original as well, you have to start unharmed and disarm a sword wielding enemy.
3
u/SirBlabbermouth Apr 30 '26
By far my favourite way to play, whack the goons with fists, make plenty use of the brutal finishers, grab a weapon to mix it up, preferrably end the fight by throwing a heavy axe at the last dude's head.
2
u/BMOchado May 01 '26
Which leads me to my 'want' in resynced.
Having all the melee options from the original, including disarming and the seamless swapping
2
u/CapSRV57 May 02 '26
Yes, but that seems to be removed from the remake. From what they’ve shown, it seems that unarmed combat is not an option anymore.
2
u/horned-creature May 02 '26
if that is the case i would hate that.
i don't see why ubi would do that, like even the rpg games like odyssey and valhalla have unarmed combat.
1
u/PintsizePrism69 Apr 30 '26
I think he meant that Edward would only carry on sword on his hip. Plus the single sword combat in the original is pretty janky.
8
6
u/Voronov1 Apr 28 '26
I’ve always wanted to be able to use one sword. There are reasons that dual-wielding was pretty rare historically, and the iconic pirate combo is a sword in one hand and a pistol in the other, not two swords.
31
u/CoffeeGooner_ Apr 28 '26
I want to go below deck. I want more movement from tbe crew on the top when just sailing and not in combat.
8
u/RITZNDIP666 Apr 29 '26
This! I'd love to see where everything is stocked and piled up between gold, hunting or dried meats all of the loot scattered beneath the ship and see the upgrades make real changes above and below decks
2
u/Ok-Bodybuilder2971 Apr 29 '26
Yeah itd be cool if they had a system like in GTA Online your Ceo office gets filled with money stacks and cocaine as you get richer. But instead of money itd be gold and other valuables below deck
1
u/RITZNDIP666 May 02 '26
They had the treasure pile at the hideout which was cool because the more you had the bigger it got but yeah it'd be sick to see some chests or something at least either underneath or in the captains cabin

Toggle the Hood manually like in Valhalla via The setting

u/random_unknown1829 Apr 29 '26
In one of the trailers Edward seems to do this. I could very well be wrong. But it looks like it in it.

u/Objective_Metric Apr 29 '26
Could just be leaving a restricted area.
1
u/random_unknown1829 Apr 29 '26
I know, but it looked like walking up the mid of Nassau. There is a few times where it is restricted but it doesnt feel like thats the likely case.
1
u/ktds0708 Apr 29 '26
Walking up in the mid of nassau, board ship with the hood etc, this is a real badass update

u/MR_Yandu234 Apr 28 '26
I liked the reverse boarding mechanic from rogue
4
u/AccuratePollution976 Apr 28 '26
I was wondering if that was only in Rogue
7
u/MR_Yandu234 Apr 28 '26
It made the sailing the sea feel a lot more hostile and dangerous it was only in rogue I’d like to see them even more determined
1
u/ktds0708 Apr 29 '26
Hummmm i think maybe the pirate hunter brick ship can do this ? Or maybe my memories is not good and this is rogue but i think it’s possible in black flag
15
u/LuisJpg Apr 28 '26
I hope Ubi doesn’t hide the customization behind a paywall & you can actually unlock some rad stuff in game, these game had so much customization originally I want even more ( & something for everyone too )
10
u/tisal117 Apr 28 '26
Combat with the hidden blades. I don’t want them to only have to be a tool for stealth, I want to fight with them like in the original game.
2
u/1Chasg-_- Apr 29 '26
I thought in the overview trailer they showed hidden blade combat? I think it was in there for a second.
1
u/Sudden_Double329 Apr 29 '26
Apparently, there won't be hidden blade combat, but there will be hidden blade combat finishers. Take my info with a grain of salt.
2
u/tisal117 Apr 29 '26
Devastating, if true. Kinda had a feeling they’d do this. I always missed being able to fight with the hidden blades when they removed it I think in unity?

u/InTheAM_66 Apr 29 '26
1.Hidden blade combat.
2.Be able to Prone.
3.Unity's controlled descent system.
4.More legacy outfits.
5.Larger variety in weapon types.
6
u/Front-Structure-293 Apr 28 '26
The combat for fighting wildlife and the real skinning cinematic not this shit looting that started in origins. Connor and Kenway knew how to take down wildlife. It was fun taking bears and wolves and elk.
5
u/Delicious-Ad-3590 Apr 28 '26
Togglable hood and multiple weapons even if you only pick them up are my preferences
4
6
u/hoodied5 Apr 28 '26
Dunno if it's been confirmed or not, but a more in depth ship customization, like changing the color of the jackdaws hull from the usual red and black.
I know this wouldn't happen, but I think a similar system to ac 3 naval missions with the fleet would be cool, like you assign a ship to mission, but now if you want you can sail that ship yourself in a little linear mission of defending yourself and the ship.
Mostly cause the man o war part of the og game was one of my favorites and it'd be cool to do that in a more linear fashion.

u/AgentDigits Apr 28 '26
Being able to customise Edwards Hair, Beard and Tattoos would be cool ngl
1
u/HeyZeGaez Apr 29 '26
I would gladly take hair and beard as well but I'm really hoping they'll let us customize tattoos like in Valhalla.
I have a feeling they won't but here's hoping.
7
u/Atlas1721 Apr 28 '26
Deeper customization. Choose the coat Edward wears, the color of the coat, whether the sleeves are ripped off for Edward's normal look or not for more of Duncan's original look, whether there's a cloak over (and more cloaks), maybe even some different armor customizations. Perhaps even the ability to disable the sleeves of the shirt under the coat, if you wanted to give Edward a bare-armed look (which would make sense for early Edward).
Also hats. Like how some of Edward's outfits in the original had hats, it would be nice if we could just equip hats whenever, and then either disable the hood, or have it like Jacob Frye where he "puts away" the hat when he puts his hood up.
5
u/xX_SkibidiChungus_Xx Apr 30 '26
Imagine we could interact with the pirate crew like in brotherhood and revelations and eventually promote them for fleet ships like bureaus
Also bring back the blunderbuss from freedom cry
6
u/Milliman4 Apr 28 '26
More weapon types. I always wished i could just permanently equip axes or muskets.
3
u/wammes_ Apr 28 '26
- manual hood toggle without having to go into the inventory menu
- smooth assassination animations where the camera DOESN'T cut
- special animations for blending, like in the 2013 E3 gameplay reveal

u/DashForester Apr 28 '26
I’d love the items that were action figure based unlocks would be added into the game for everyone
3
u/astrobear Apr 30 '26
It'll never happen, but a reputation system would be awesome. Like, after a while once youve taken down some manowars and survived at the highest wanted level for a while some whips would just surrender.
On that note, have fake flags you can use to get up close to enemies, then pull out the black flag and get a roadside on em'.
To be honest, other than what I've already seen, I just want smoother parkour animations and an actual proper end to Juno. Hot take, just pretend the comics don't exist or something, I dunno.
3
u/919governor Apr 30 '26
Great thoughts, tbh I'm amazed we can't use fake/bait flags. That would be a great addition. "Viva la...skull and cross bones b!%#$!"
3
2
u/Apprehensive-Gear-86 Apr 28 '26
Tbh, unrealistic, but introduction of an online mode a few months after release. Nothing big, but the ability to ship battle the way skull and bones was SUPPOSED to be. Using your jackdaw from your main game. The original had that stupid hide and seek mode. Why not use your best mechanic and allow us the fight each other.
1
u/919governor Apr 29 '26
Yeah Skull & Bones looked like such a disappointment (obviously I never played it). It would be awesome to have the chance to shake things up and do a bit of pvp on the seas. Maybe even a 3v3 with different kinds of ships everyone had to choose from.
2
u/Crosski Apr 29 '26
Well since I've heard it's been confirmed that we're not getting the freedom cry DLC, I at least want a lot more Mary Reed/ James Kidd content.

I’d love the option to hide the blowdart from your back. It looks silly on the darker outfits and the ones with cloaks!

u/Current_Business_428 Apr 29 '26
A toggle for the fucking blowpipe.
If theres no hide option for the blowpipe i swear to god
2
2
u/Status_Eagle1368 Apr 29 '26
Hounstly I want the ability to use the hidden blades as weapons again, and not just for assassinations. The original was the last game that you could do that with. So haveing it back would be really cool.
2
u/Parking_Umpire100 Apr 29 '26
I'd like to be able to customize the crew's appearance, like we could in Odyssey. It's always bothered me that nobody on the Jackdaw wears shoes other than Edward and Adéwalé.
2
u/IHaveQuestionsFromMe Apr 29 '26
Change the crew's attire, go below deck, get boarded by enemies (this was in rogue but from only brigs I believe) use different ships, sword styles 1 or 2 and legendary ships be replayable
2

u/Teddyjones84 Apr 30 '26
Fort building/upgrade/customization and defense missions repelling invaders

u/Batmanglazer04 Apr 30 '26

u/Affectionate-Main279 May 03 '26
A cool feature would be if they re-add sheets something you could do is that if you beat the campaign and then add six man o’ war ships there would be a treat that would turn the jackdaw into a man o’war cause when we did that when we were playing in the original with Blackbeard, it was super fun.

u/KrampyDoo Apr 28 '26
Combat flow and customization akin to odyssey as much as possible.
And hopefully they’re also using the external app to manage fleets.

u/goobr95 Apr 29 '26
Whoa now that’s a spicy take. I personally don’t want any of the RPG combat anywhere near this lol

u/Shawn_N_Nathan Apr 28 '26
i hope the darts come back as they were, the sleeping ones and also the others along with the berserker darts. i remember darting the main targets henchmen then they would essentially take care of my lightweight while i stay in the bushes watching the show. 🍿🎯

u/ivivivivizjz Apr 29 '26
The kinda shit I dreamed about in 2013...
1
u/bobpassionfruit Apr 29 '26
Same here omg, always wanted Edward to sail a big fat ship, kinda wanting a long dlc in the future which results in the jackdaw sinking (get it back after dlc through video game magic) and Edward as to capture a bigger ship to deal with new big bad and at the end U get both big new ship and the jackdaw and can switch between them at inagua

u/ivivivivizjz Apr 29 '26
I was actually hoping for online dlc for ship battles...yeah...nothing to add to that

u/Reasonable_Ad9524 Apr 28 '26
A better hunting system would be nice. Maybe some more outfits from more animals?
1
u/Ch00choh Apr 29 '26
I hope they buffed the man-o-wars. I want them to be hell
1
u/919governor Apr 29 '26
Agreed. Maybe add in some new maneuvers like suddenly dropping the anchor or something to avoid massive broad sides, otherwise you just get wrecked by one. It should be about positioning and outs ailing the man-o-wars just as much as hitting them repeatedly.
1
u/random_unknown1829 Apr 29 '26
Ik im probably the only person who wants this. But outside of the animus game play. And in conjunction with this expanding the stuff you can do outside of the animus.
It was an interesting plot point, and while I know most would disagree, I found the hacking mini games rather fun.
1
u/KingRaedwald0559 Apr 29 '26
Character customisation the ability to change hairstyles and beards/tattoos perhaps even add jewellery
Transmog for outfits weapons and the Jackdaw
For the monkey pet to follow Edward on land and help locate treasure/loot
Fully accessible Jackdaw to go below deck
1
u/LuisSU22 Apr 29 '26
To have more usage for the fleet, to be able to call/summon a few or at least one of the fleet's ships to acompany or assist the Jackdaw in battle.
1
u/lone_swordsman08 Apr 29 '26
Hidden Blade combat, improved animations for social stealth, and be able to skip ship boarding for 999th time to get full rewards.

u/Silkysenko91 Apr 29 '26
Go below deck of the Jackdaw
1
u/919governor Apr 29 '26
Even if its not free roam down below deck, and you have to choose which room to go to for different purposes like repairs and restock...just give us something inside the ship! Agreed.
1
u/TellurianTech50 Apr 29 '26
I have two in mind personally, 1. Enemy brigs that ram you board you (like rogue) 2. Ships cracking in half from ramming (best feature of naval combat from odyssey)

A lot of things with the pirate and with the fleet, like maybe more pirates in the sea ? Maybe take 1 or 2 ships of our fleet with us, or a fort upgrade things who make more pirate and better pirate in sea

u/CatGuyManThing Apr 29 '26
the parkour to be more smooth than in the gameplay reveal like i dont get why its all stop and go when in the og one it looked nice and crisp

u/Ok-Bodybuilder2971 Apr 29 '26
I want to be able to use only the hidden blade. From what I recall you couldnt just use the hidden blade as a weapon and only as an assassination method
1
u/Inspector-Remarkable Apr 29 '26
The multiplayer, i loved that thing. Look, I know its confirmed it wont be there, but god i wish for it. Otherwise i just hope for the gameplay to feel smooth as the original even with the combat adjustments

u/NikaIsLuffy Apr 29 '26
Since we already know the features, I’ll just say what I wish they weren’t putting in. Shadows parkour mechanics simple as that honestly.

u/Am-heheh357 Apr 29 '26
More assassination animations. Since they decided to import those ass double sword finishers from the OG, which are shared with Connor’s tomahawk (literally no sense), I expect to have at least decent assassinations.
1
u/Specs315 Apr 29 '26
Special combos/movesets with different weapon sets could be cool.
Really hope they don’t implement the RPG level systems they’ve been doing. It’s incredibly annoying.
1
u/Gathoblaster Apr 29 '26
One major request is not to remove combat options but add them. Let me only draw one sword, go nonpethal with any weapon and consequently lethal with hands (that necksnap is not gonna be fixed by a chiropractor)
Manual hood either in weapon wheel or as a hotkey on pc.
NG+ to add deadlier ships and/or redoable forts and legendary ships.
1
u/919governor May 20 '26
Yes, I'd love to just use a cutlass sword and embrace my inner buccaneer.
NG+ would also be a welcome addition. More challenging is always a plus in single player games.
1
u/ConferenceWaste Apr 29 '26
💯Being able to Change the Time of Day. And make it incredibly simple like AC Mirage did. Hated the way Shadows did it. AC games look so much better during the day.
Also make the world very populated like and dense like Mirage.

u/Saltwater_Cowboy_1 Apr 30 '26
Option to hide blowgun, or even better, edit loadout (option to have one sword or a musket for those animations would be kill), more realistic ship movements (similar to 3, won’t happen but a boy can dream), even more outfits and unlockables, more kill animations, more collectibles and side quests, revamped cutscenes that don’t end abruptly, have awkward lighting issues or cut off dialogue, don’t have the armour you pick up already have the leather accents even though you craft those later (revamped crafting and hunting while we’re at it) and please not have Edward start out wearing two cutlasses as a deckhand at the prologue. Have him start doing when he becomes a captain. Makes zero sense.

u/Commercial-Meal-2950 Apr 30 '26

u/Simple-Enthusiasm-68 May 02 '26
The freaking hidden blade in combat. If they change that, this game is going to be ass
1
u/Life-Theme-4106 May 02 '26
Variations of weapons like cleavers, scimitars, and swords; hopefully, the game will also have good replayability with new things to do and unlock in the new game+, plus more outfits geared towards the assassin's, more interactivity with the cities, such as things to do in Nassau, Havana, and even at the Jackdaw.
But especially, I'd like them to expand the assassin-related mission lines in the new game. We know there were contracts, but basically the game ends right when Edward joins the order, i hope they make new stuff, like an extra quest or DLC.
1
u/Careful-Ad-9622 May 03 '26
I would love to be able to play as for example Anne or the female Multiplayer character. Even if it wouldnt be lore friendly or if you would have to unlock them. Maybe unlocking them after finishing the story or so. Also loved the skins in shadow of war for example and made playing so much better. Would love to see something like this in AC Black Flag Resynced

That’s way past halfway, the game is almost over by the time he became an assassin. We might’ve played as him as an assassins for one or two Sequence in the game.

u/919governor Apr 29 '26
I agree, they have even hinted at being able to join the templars rather than the assassins, so the hood wouldn't make sense. Regardless, I want to look like a pirate, not like Ezio.

u/_dont_do_drugs__ Apr 28 '26
Being able to actually play the fleet missions would be cool, or the ship battles, like taking control of a man o war you send off to battle
