Creech Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Discuss Xbox One Challenges here. Feel free to throw in information on new challenges, when challenges are no longer available, and when you personally unlock any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ackis Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 The first challenge is "The Flying Dutchman" which involves "Capture 6 Artifacts using Glimmer in The Flying Dutchman event." Personally I had no clue what this was and the first few times I searched I didn't find anything. Today that changed, I found this link: http://assassinscreed.ubi.com/en-us/players/multiplayer/news_detail.aspx?c=tcm:19-121198-16&ct=tcm:6-231-32 For those who can't get to that site for various reasons here's part of the article: This weekend, November 29th - December 1st, we invite you to participate in our new multiplayer event, The Flying Dutchman. Earn a unique Assassin costume for your characters and the right to bear the title The Flying Dutchman. During the event players will play in the Artifact Assault game mode. Melee kills will be deactivated and therefore your only way to kill will be with the ruthless shot of your pistol. Team coordination is required to bring back an ancient artifact to your base, so be sure to support the artifact-carrier by using sabotage to prevent opponents from using their pistol.

The Huntsman Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 Will they give glimmer and pistols to all players? I was playing Dead Rising 3 for a week and have been trying to grind over the past day to unlock glimmer. I'm still ten levels away from it, however.

Situation Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 Yeah I hope this special playlist has glimmer unlocked, I've been busy getting dead rising 3 done on nightmare and doing the killer instinct challenges. Really don't want to start ac4 off by missing the first challenge. Currently level 1 and I'm going to be grinding all day it seems, and will probably still be too low unless it's unlocked.

The Huntsman Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 How do I even play the challenge? I don't see any event listing or playlist like the sites say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death Snakes Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 yeah I can't see the event either, is it level restricted? or not out yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Huntsman Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 I spent all day to get level 26 and unlock glimmer, and... I still don't see anything. This challenge only lasts until Sunday, so I'd very much like to figure it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Situation Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 Talked to numerous people about this, seems like they might have just enabled the event on ps3/x360 and forgot about ps4/x1 becos nobody on x1 has managed to figure out how to access this yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would it be the same for the Xbox One? I'd imagine it's supposed to show up in the multiplayer menu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravenhood Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 Wait, so there isn't even a set way to find these matches yet? Well, I guess if nothing is discovered, I won't feel too bad about missing one challenge... Been polishing off Dead Rising 3, and I figured I'd have time to finish the game then grind out the multiplayer in AC IV before the end of the event. Guess that won't matter if the event isn't even active on Xbox One. =/ I'll probably jump into AC IV later today anyways, so I guess I'll rush through multiplayer just in case. Which level was Glimmer unlocked at, 26? Guess I have some work ahead of me. Anyone have an estimate on how tough it'll be to get there from level 1 for an average to good player?

Situation Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 In this event mode your level is irrelevant as it gives everyone glimmer, or so I've been told by someone playing it on ps4. It's active on ps4 & x360, apparantly, just not xbox one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Huntsman Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 An update from Ubisoft. Hello everyone, We identified the issue that's preventing Xbox One players from entering the event: The news isn't showing up. We are currently working on fixing the ingame news so you can access the event. I'll keep you posted. Sorry for the inconvenience!I just hope they extend the challenge achievement time, if that's even possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlphaFist Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 Any update on if this is working? I see The Flying Dutchman in the news section in the MP menu but can't be sure if the challenge is active. I only played the MP the first time today to see if it was up and melee kills are still active in Artifact Assault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death Snakes Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 Same, its in the news section in the MP now, but there still doesn't seem to be any event, hopefully it means they've almost fixed it :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death Snakes Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 with only 22 hours left on the challenge, guess it's gonna be unobtainable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SallyNasty Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 Ridiculous Ubisoft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Situation Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 with only 22 hours left on the challenge, guess it's gonna be unobtainable Challenges can be extended/changed, Lego Marvel Super Heroes first challenge had an expiry date of Dec 31st but because it was delayed a week or two (or because its a hard challenge, unsure) it got changed to Jan 31st. Dev's can alter challenges whenever they want since it doesn't cost them anything now. One good thing to note though is once a challenge expires, if you don't get, it doesn't show up on your achievement list as an unobtainable achievement/challenge. I haven't missed any in games i'm playing yet (cept ac4) but a few friends with Killer Instinct didn't get around to doing the first challenge and it doesn't show on there lists at all.

Ravenhood Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 Just because it doesn't show up in our list, doesn't mean it's any less annoying that we can't obtain it. Sure, it ultimately means nothing anyways, and we don't get any reward for finishing it outside of that satisfaction. However, if it's made to be obtained, and then becomes impossible to obtain, it defeats the purpose of making it available to begin with. What's the purpose of bringing up a challenge and failing to extend the time limit when it's your own fault that it's broken in the first place? Between Ubisoft failing to activate this challenge for One owners, and Microsoft supposedly being the reason we can't unlock Devil/Master of the Caribbean, I don't feel as though I should really get into the game until I know certain issues have been fixed. Right now it's just those achievements, but I also don't know what else is screwed up in-game. Still working on DR3 anyways, I guess, so I'll plug away at what I can and hope for some fixes to these problems soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawaiian Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Actually missed challenges do show up, e.g. if you compare your game with another player (who unlocked the challenge). In this case it won't be a problem though since noone has unlocked this challenge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death Snakes Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 the event is up, this weekend only!! unfortunately the challenge has yet to be extended Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Huntsman Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 I can't even play the Flying Dutchman event because nobody else is playing it and it constantly looks for players. One guy joined my lobby for a few seconds but then he quit. Anyway, I asked Ubi about the challenge achievement on their forum so we'll see what they say.

jamie126 Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 WTF is with these new challenges?! all multiplayer and properly will need all the DLC to do them, not only that but its showing some which don't even go live for like 6 months whats the point?! These are ridiculous should have just left the achievement system alone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFifthEssence Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 So for this event, where you have to "Perform 15 kills with a scoring multiplier in the Takeover event," maybe I just haven't played much AC multiplayer lately, but how do you get a scoring multiplier?

ron north Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 (edited) So for this event, where you have to "Perform 15 kills with a scoring multiplier in the Takeover event," maybe I just haven't played much AC multiplayer lately, but how do you get a scoring multiplier? I'm not sure but it may be this: you kill someone when doing one or more secondary objectives at the same time (like an acrobatic kill or a kill when you're hiding for example); in those cases, it gives you a bonus (acrobatic = x 1,5 and hiding = x 2 respectively). Get 15 kills with one of those bonus during the event and you should unlock the challenge. It's what I think but I may be wrong.

I have to be honest with you, I have no idea. I'm up to 11 at this point, in my mind I should have about 50. Running out of time too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
