    [SUGGESTION][CUSTOMIZATION]It has been asked for ever since beta.

    First of all I would like to congratulate Ubisoft, this game is and has been one of my favorite games of this generation, I just love the atmosphere of the game. However, there has been a couple features frequently asked for in this relatively small fan community of official forums and every time the official response has been "we have told the team about it and will tell if anything happens" followed by complete silence until someone asks again. This is quite odd because none of these features would require modeling new assets or mechanics. As I have seen on previous topics, there are certain users who are quick to point out that one of these requests can be worked around by playing with other people, but I play this game exclusively single player. On my Uplay stats I have 0 hours, 0 minutes on total Co-op playtime, and I intend to keep it that way.

    I am in no way bored of this game or planning to stop playing, but I would get easily 100 hours more playtime from this game with these features which should be very familiar by now:

    New game plus
    Complete the story missions and regions again with your maxed out Ghost. Even Far Cry 3 had a option to reset all outposts after completion, and this would be literally no effort at all for the team. It wouldn't take more than couple of hours to implement and test, but would add countless hours of playtime for core fans.

    Ability to unequip primary weapons and/or backpack
    Again, a simple on/off toggle for the textures that would be really easy to implement and would make core fans happy. This was requested all the way back during beta and it is just mind boggling this has not been implemented. Hell, if you are afraid that casual fans get scared of extra challenge make it a hidden feature.

    Ability to choose your squad's outfit and loadout
    I don't know or care about the names of my squad, but the dude with the sniper rifle fires full auto with his rifle during battles. Since you seemingly don't care about firing patterns at all why does it matter if players get to choose which weapon this guy fires full auto? I play this game exclusively as single player and just wan't my squad to have matching outfits and weapons I choose for them. Again, this was requested all the way back in beta and this too is a feature that would use existing assets and wouldn't require excessive work and time to implement. Yet again, complete silence.

    I don't even care about getting more clothes or weapons, these three things have been requested multiple times ever since beta by multiple users. There is clearly a sizable section of core fans who go through the trouble to register for your official forums who want these features. There is literally no plausible explanation why these are not available.For god's sake, give us some fan service here please.

    This game's developers should try to do what The Division did with the ETF and get players to meet with devs and discuss issues with the base game and PvP. This game has so much potential but it seems like they just don't give a fudge.

    Just to make it clear, I am not interested in certain profilic user's input on what he thinks about these features, what he thinks the devs think about them or why they shouldn't be in this game or why stuff like this supposedly breaks the devs vision for it.

    This is just a suggestion for devs using the proper feedback tags.

    And a shameless self bump

    Yah, these enhancements would be great.

    I’d like the reset option to have a second play through. Would also love an Iron Man mode that started you with just a pistol and forced you to scrounge enemy weapons as you go.

    Appearance and team customization would be cool too. Especially if you could assign them weapons. Would really love to just leave them behind though and just have a medic tag along to revive me if necessary.

    Players with a brain and taste request this since release, but Ubi decided in all their wisdom to focus on pink weapons, leather jackets, predator masks and flintlock weapons, because that is what we all want - you just ddidn't realize it yet.

    Come to your senses man, pink flintlocks and Ubisoft shirts for everyone!

    AI customisation never going to happen. It has been confirmed by devs in Q&A long time ago.

    That is what The Breakfast Club is for. My impression is however that the people in it who are forwarding our suggestions are not being listened to.

    But yes, I agree with you. The Developers for GRW have been surprisingly solid about not accepting community ideas in comparison to Rainbow Six and The Division. Too bad because most of the Community Reps are great people and they have to take the flak.

    Don't shoot the messenger as they say, the community manager's are doing a good job. It's the Dev's themselves that are being hard headed and only implement what they want.
