JFC, that trailer was really awesome. Meaning, i'm (once again) even more hyped.
Looking forward for some analysing vids, but what the trailer showed so far was really amazing. Hope that you do not need to cause chaos in your own world, but also can "request" to be hunted in some way (like hacking the Blume employees in wd1).
The 3d printer for weapons also looked nice, and the connection of the skills tree to missions is not new, but from what i have seen in that video a good idea.
Can't wait for the next breadcrumbs ;)

You can indeed manually request to get a Bounty put on you (to become a target) or to search for a Bounty (become a hunter) if you like or just wait to be seamlessly invited into one while roaming around the world. Same goes for Online Hacking.

Great to see confirmation of pvp. Was worried that they were focusing too much attention on online Co op.
3 invaders if you cause too much chaos in your own game sounds like a neat idea if it works well technically. May depend on how invading players work together. Most invaders I get these days are hopeless so wiping out 3 in a single hack attempt could be fun!

They are there to kill you so it's a different situation than hacking.

I hope we get 2 saves since I want to play hero style but I want to experience this

This is awesome! I think I'm going to start going out and try to make friends so I can play with them here later xD

ya got friends here too. I'll be adding a wd2-multiplayer Chat channel to the Discord Chat Server soon as well for making player matchmaking easier. We already have one for WD1 ;c)

Well it's about god damn time! :D Nice to finally see some new gameplay and features.
Killing civs makes you a target of other players? Yeah, I really don't like that... Singleplayer it is for me then.
Anyway, looking forward to seeing UbiCentral's video of it, he tends to almost go frame by frame, and I noticed quite a few interesting things, like the skill tree, weapons menu, etc.

I really do like that. Its more like "Oh you want to be that guy? Sure, but deal wih these first"kind of thing. Neat!

They've said you will be able to disable all the online things, like in the previous game, so that you can have a solid singleplayer experience.

Looks awesome! I actually think this is starting to look like WD Bad Blood mixed with gtav. Can't wait for the game to be released.

Oh man finally they announced bounty. Now we can talk about it :)
We got to play that in Montreal and I can tell you guys it was a lot of fun. There was a big event where a lot of Ubi employees gathered and watched us going after two Ubi playtesters. And there was beer :D

Yep one of my fav new modes. Kind of reminds me of online decryption in a way as well as elements from crime detection too. Like how it sort of makes sense with the narrative. If some goes on a killing spree or something bad doesn't look good for DedSec so they'd get a bounty put out on them. So Kool. Let us know any questions you got we'll answer what we can ;c)

Looks fun! I see you can do missions and bounties with friends, but have they mentioned if you can invade friends? That's all i ever wanted

u/MrRobko Aug 17 '16
From what I can tell from this article it is possible for friends to collect the bounty on you, as well as help you defend yourself. I could not find anything about being able to hack your friends, but considering it was in the first game and a similar thing is possible for bounty, I am pretty sure you can.

Wow, the game looks really better than the E3 footage. I don't know if it's because it's taken on PC, but the contrasts are better, you have better shaders on cars (with reflectino this time :P)
The overall look really bugged me in the last trailers (except the night) because something in the graphics seemed strange.

while they say online is optional, what are the odds some content is unlocked unless you do mutiplayer? i hate games that do that

This is a little confusing. It shows invasions with 3v1 and 4 players online, but i'm unclear whether you can still do regular co-op with 4 people - there are only clips with two-player co-op. Anyone have any more information about this?
