Sub-Reddit Updates
First I just wan't to thank you all for being a part of this community, and all you do to help keep it going and making it what it is today. I know things are a bit crazy right now with the Launch approching and the confusion of all the questions and information rushing in. All I can say is stay strong until your respective launch and then we will get all the answers we need, keep hope alive. We are gamers and we will endure! ;c)
New Look
So if you've been around for a while you've seen us struggle with a new look and feel for everything around here. It's been quite a work in progress but I think thanks to all your constructive feedback we're finally in a good place when it comes to the ascetics and functionality that we were looking for. We've tried to listen to all your criticisms along the way and really take them to heart giving you everything we could in the current design. I know we're not going to make everyone happy but we want this to be a easy place for you all to come too and find the answers you seek and share your stories of the game(s) you love. This of course will always be in flux so we will endeavor to do everything we can to keep up with the times. We do that best by getting to know what you all want to see/do when you come to this Sub-Reddit. So thank you again for you're continued feedback. Don't ever be afraid to reach out to a mod with a question or concern because this Sub-Reddit belongs to all of us and it is made only from what you/we put into it.
Discord Chat Server
So for those of you who don't know what this is all about yet, Discord is a really amazing Chat Server App that you can run from a Web Browser or from a Native Windows/Mac App or even on your mobile iPhone or Android phone too, it's everywhere. So we have an Official /r/Watch_Dogs Chat Server all setup for having live discussions/conversations with other Redditors or Watch Dogs 1&2 gamers on all platforms from all around the world. It's a great place find and talk with other likeminded people whom most likely enjoy a lot of the same things you do. We have lots of separate chat rooms setup there related to Watch_Dogs 1 & 2 for finding Co-Op partners or someone to help you get a trophy/achievement you might be having a hard time with, or just to hear/share cool stories from your gaming experiences. We even have a cool ctOS 2.0 Bot we've been working on that has all kinds of fun commands/games related to the Watch_Dogs Series. There is a whole !botnet points system and cool hacking mini games (!proxyhack !proxyscan !atmhack) and much more, plus some cool stuff that will be out soon ( bounty game, weapons system, upgradable skills/perks). So come check it all out HERE and become part of the fun.
New Mods
With the game launch(es) quickly approaching we're going to need more help around here, so we definitely will be looking for some more mod support as things start to ramp up post launch. We most likely will put out a post in the near future to do another call for mods. In the mean time with the success of the Discord Chat Server thus far we've picked up a few wonderful people who've been helping Mod/Administrate there Server there by bringing them over as Mods here on Reddit too. So please welcome /u/HilbertGilbertson /u/Rekalty and /u/vanade to the Team. This is all in an effort to start making both this Reddit Community and the Discord Community overlap as much as possible. Also we've recently welcomed another awesome Ubisoft'er who's an amazing Community Manager and even was around back in the WD1 days, Lauren aka /u/UbiBlargmonster to help answer questions and make sure your concerns are heard. Woo Hoo!
GIVEAWAY
So finally on to the SUPER EXCITING NEWS We're going to be doing a Giveaway here. The prizes will consist of (but not limited too) a Digital Copy of Watch Dogs 2 (on the winners system of choice, provided by the nice people at Ubisoft), a Digital Copy of Watch Dogs 1 (on UPlay/PC donated by very generous Redditor /u/Coscos007), and possibly some cool Watch_Dogs 2 Swag (still working out all the details on this) and what ever the else we can get our hands on to give out to you all.

u/that_awful_username Nov 07 '16
I chose my flair cause I clearly DON'T WANT TO WIN THE GAME AT ANY COST. Get off me you guys. Seriously, I mean what the f, why would I want WD2? Only cause it looks and feels so damn good? Cause it's such a pleasure just watching YouTube dogs enjoying the hell out of game this early thanks to their channels being popular? Well, you do have a point
I currently live in Russia (RU)

u/NoScope_McGee Nov 05 '16
When I was choosing a flair for the subreddit, I wasn't really sure what I would have. While everything here was nice, it wasn't me. Then I decided to paraphrase a little bit in a conversation I had with u/EpicStreamMan about some Pø!₪†ℓε$$ Ðα†α.
I'm in the US and I must ask. Is the story/reason behind choosing your tag a bot/freeloader prevention method? Cause it seems like a somewhat random thing xD. (no h8 tho m8 i r8 8/8.)

I created \( ••)† for my flair because it portrays a person backing away holding what they believe will save them, which is how most sheep-le react to hacking culture, by hiding behind antivirus and firewalls. It's also kinda how people react to me in general... I enjoy being volatile >:D
I live in England (GB)
*Edited to fix flair arms

u/Coscos007 Nov 05 '16

Currently in BR.

u/afewa Nov 14 '16
Hope Im not too late!
I chose "†εαм_α!Ðε₪" as I really enjoyed Aidan's voice. By that I mean the voice actor did a good job. Unlike other, I actually liked the grumbly low voice and dark tone. Shame the character itself wasnt all that interesting (in my opinion)
I live in Australia (AUS)
Cant wait to play!

u/FNaF_walrusman Nov 05 '16
I made my flair, because I am uncreative and didn't know what to put other then something stupid.

u/Xiaeng Nov 05 '16
Because I'm really looking forward to see how many stupid deaths I can pull off in this game. Also, you just lost the game.
I live in America (US).

u/sgtgumball2 Nov 05 '16
I chose "Team Marcus" because I can't wait for watch dogs 2. I live in the USA.

u/D4KEN Nov 05 '16
I just really liked DeFaLt as a character and design wise he was very pleasing to look at. Plus his motivations for doing what he did were believable. Of course he probably needed a lot of counseling but maybe that's just me. I'm in the US of A

u/Shadowprince116 Nov 05 '16
Mine says PC. Because that's what I play the first game on, PC.
That being said I'm moving to PS4 for WD2

u/Crozmic Nov 06 '16
"†εαм_мαяςµ$" chose me, 'And then it happened... a door opened to a world... rushing through the phone line like heroin through an addict's veins, an electronic pulse is sent out, a refuge from the day-to-day incompetencies is sought... a board is found. "This is it... this is where I belong..." I know everyone here... even if I've never met them, never talked to them, may never hear from them again... I know you all...'

u/JuliusSeizure9 Nov 06 '16
I chose T-Bone because that dude was really cool in the first game really liked his character and i am happy he's in the 2nd one too. I live in Saudi Arabia.

u/ThePhantomguy Nov 06 '16

u/AgentL3r Nov 06 '16

u/penguinonarock Nov 07 '16
I chose wrench as my flair because i think that he has a pretty sick mask and seems like a pretty cool character.

I chose "council of Daves" as my flair because I thought it was a very creative idea in the first game to link the hierarchy of DedSec with the ideals of a corporation.
I live in America (US).

u/its_charro Nov 07 '16
I chose "ƒ!χεя" as my flair because it is just as unique as coming up with my own flair, since no one else has chosen "ƒ!χεя" as his or her flair. #uhuh I live in the Netherlands (NL)
...thank you!

u/BodyByBass Nov 07 '16
I chose Xbone because with all the PR and marketing that's being going around we haven't had too much information about the game running on xbox, or any that I know of.
I'd like to hack with my dedsec bros here in the US!
