I've been enjoying tier 1 so far. Anything that gives the game good end game content im a fan of. My only problem with it is that you die so fast. You alert enemies alot faster, the enemy AI literally aimbot you to death. If you peak for even a second you get downed in no time. Health recovers way to slow. Enemies can bullet sponge hard when your guns arnt level 30. I wanted a challenge and I love tier 1 but literally peaking a tiny bit and getting headshotted does get annoying after a while. It's like they took what made enemy AI broken to begin with and made it 100x worse. Like I said huge fan of the update but at least tone the AI down a bit. And make them challenging in a reasonable way.

Tier 21 here. The simple truth is with Tier 1 mode you'll need to do missions with 100% stealth and or tactical planning, avoiding all firefights, and using sync shots thoughtfully. It's getting *kinda* dumb. But, like I said, going in 100% stealthy, or very carefully planning convoy and outpost raids.. There's a good list of missions you can replay for the easiest XP, it's in another thread titled "Where do you Grind?" or something like that. And it really is all about grinding. I've done all the Inca Camina missions continously as they reward the max Tier Points. La Cabre is just blowing up your drone Jihad style. There are some activities that I cannot do in Tier 1 mode: like getting into firefights, running from pursuing enemies.. hell, just getting spotted does it. Tier 1 forces the player to a specific play style. It does limit the players creativity and choices, variety, etc.. but... rewards... I got some face paint
I have the season pass. I enjoyed Fallen Ghosts, but it doesn't have the same replay value as the main game. The 'world' is much smaller, and since there's no PVP there's no meaningful motiviation to continue in FG after you've beaten it. I tried playing Narco Road, but that shat makes me want to commit international acts of mass genocide and sexual assault. So Tier One mode it is, because I like this game, the world, the enemies and rebels. The game in general is just falling short on so many critical elements, and since launch- since I've joined these forums, if it wasn't for like the 2 updates we've got, it would seem the devs don't seem to even know their game exists, much less that there are still issues that can be easily fixed.
Tier One mode is just another 'player grab', keeping us interested until PVP launches and fails. I seriously don't have any faith in the future of this game.. but as of now I'm really enjoying playing itIt just seems like since launch UBI has been handling and the evolution of this game and it's player base very poorly.

My game sessions are getting shorter and shorter now due to the terrible AI-system. I enjoyed the tier system at first, but the totality of the AI-system is just so packed with flaws and bad design choices which in the end makes me annoyed. My source of annoyance is that behind all these bad design choices there's still something good. Had the game not have something good to offer behind the many flaws, I would've just moved on to another game. If you do a small grinding spot and go full stealth I still enjoy it, but then an AI happen to stumble upon a dead body and locate you with his third eye, which in turn turns on their aimbot-system and never-ending hunting mechanics. It is the most unrealistic AI-system in a stealth game, which could've been really good.
