I don't think there's any reason not to play around with in-game and out-of-game brightness settings to find a happy medium for yourself if possible. But we've certainly been seeing the threads about flashlights/NVGs and passing to the team. Thanks all.

It was in a reddit post, that i found after the game launched. Advertising a games content without stating that said content wont be available at launch is a low blow.

I dare you to find an official post, before march 12, stating WT5 wont be available at launch. I'll be waitting.

Tidal Basin and Operation Dark Hours were mentioned as part of the "post-launch plan" in a trailer we released. Tidal Basin is introduced with the line, "It all starts shortly after release..."

No need to get into a flamewar about this, everyone. In general, I don't think it hurts to check the brightness/contrast settings on your own monitor for issues that could be related. However, I believe people when they say they have tried manipulating those settings and it didn't work for them. We've also seen the threads about flashlights/NVGs possibly being helpful. Thanks everyone for your feedback on the level of brightness in-game.

To be honest, this thread's not going to go anywhere constructive as it is right now since it comes across as insulting to PvP players. If you're interested in suggesting potential improvements to the DZ, feel free to do so, but I'm closing up this thread as it's already getting a bit contentious.

Thanks everyone for your feedback. These threads are always contentious, so let's remember that this is very much a topic where everyone's going to have their own PoV. I'll pass your thoughts along to the team.

The team is aware of this issue and investigating:

Lastly, we are working very hard to address the crashes that are occurring and seem to be related to the Assault Drone being used while agents are in a group, as well as Skills not working properly and immediately being on a 15 second cooldown.

Thanks everyone for keeping us informed of what you're experiencing in-game. Read more

We'll let you guys know as soon as we have more info on WT5. Stay tuned.

Keep upgrading the Theater Settlement. It will eventually (or may already) appear under Settlement Progress. Things may progress differently than they did in beta, which could be causing the confusion.

This thread immediately got off on the wrong foot. If you have issues with PvP or the DZ, that's fine, but they need to be framed in terms of suggestions to improve these modes. "People who like something that I don't are stupid" is just not something you need to say here. Flaming and trolling are against the rules of this forum, so please don't resort to them.

Thanks for weighing in on this ability! I'd quite interested to see if others feel the same way. Read more

Progress settlements to recruit more staff. This is a third party site, but it may help you get started. Read more

Thanks for the feedback OP. What's funny is that there are a few other threads that say the game is too hard.

(I'm sure a lot of it depends on the exact situation you're in when you play)

Thanks Im4Givn! So glad you're enjoying the refinements made since TD1.

Have fun in DC!

This patch is being pushed live tonight: https://forums.ubi.com/showthread.ph...ng-Patch-Notes , and it includes a fix for the World Tier issue.

If I'm doing something wrong please point it out; all I know is that I've tried Pulse several times now and that's how the cooldown timers play out for me - 2 minutes and 15 seconds before I can use it again.

To not sound like I'm exclusively whining, I'm pretty impressed so far otherwise - the game averages just under 60 at Ultra settings on 1080p, which I'm fine with, and it's absolutely beautiful to look at. I thought I'd miss snowy New York but the change in venue has been great.

Haha, no worries about whining. You make valid points. Glad you're enjoying the game overall. I'll relay the ... Read more

Recruit Senait Ezera from the Theater. She'll hang out on the top floor of the White House and gives you the quest to get to the DZ.

OK, glad to hear this resolved the problem for you. When you first entered the Castle Settlement were you solo or in a group? Read more

Not sure which bugs in particular you're experiencing, OP, but we've just announced some plans for an update: https://forums.ubi.com/showthread.ph...ng-Patch-Notes . This post also touches on some of the other common issues players are reporting.

Thanks to everyone who's been sending in your feedback!

Are there any situations in particular that have stood out to you as too difficult? Story missions, open world content?
