Those of you saying play different, avoid glitches can turn that right off...
Today my level 15 character after some narrow escapes from several gun battles died trying to HALO into the area to start the rainbow 6 mission for the first time. For like maybe only the second time playing this game in two years my helicopter "killed" me and my team jumping from it. Was flying straight and level. (I pretend a rebel pilot is flying) All progress lost. Look, I like permadeath, but make it an option, and either fix these stupid glitches or make deaths from them not count. I am so pissed right now. I play this game in my off time to calm me down not rile me up. I have no reason to keep playing, I have most of the low level missions completed and the prestige points from them and it will take entirely too long to get to the point where I'm getting the higher bosses and their payouts.
If you cant fix the stupid glitch deaths at all, at least give us a prestige point payout related to level upon death.
I'm going to go outside. [Squints into the sun]
What's fair 10 prestige points per level on death? Or an exponential curve as you climb?

I feel ya bro. Lost 3 characters just dismounting a chopper and falling through the map. I just pick up and start again (I notice the wheels of the chopper sink into the Earth, just idle, maybe that has something to do with it..) It's good you bring it up as many have and the devs are fully informed according to the mods. Just carry on, do your best, man.

Yup that sucks, tbh I just play ghost mode knowing that at any minute my progress could be going down the drain by I just can’t not keep playing it anyway!!!
I have lost 4 characters but thankfully my highest level character is Tier 34 and I haven’t lost that one yet. I don’t use helicopters much though so maybe that’s why and I 💯 never jump from them if I’m the pilot. I play cautiously anyway as I play no hud so just take my time and to be fair I haven’t noticed any difference in gameplay ie; bugs that wasn’t already in the game unfortunately.
But Ubi seriously need to fix their game as it is causing people to unfairly lose all their progress and that’s just not right at all!!!

Well, I gave in late last night and tried again. Got nearly as far this time, but I went down in a gun battle and my dudes couldn't revive me and I wasn't in a tough place to get to. They just kept falling through the ground. Ubi, ya'll really need to address this. I don't want to be forced to play this game in a super timid way. Sometimes I want to get fast and loose and if I cant rely on the AI to revive me (fixing glitches) you have to make the stupid glitch related deaths not count to permadeath. (workaround).

First off, the team is aware of this issue and looking into it.Originally Posted by ual002 Go to original post
I've let the team know that separating Ghost Mode features from permadeath is a common request, particularly due to how unpredictable deaths impact the game mode.

Well, thanks. I solved the issues by backing up saves. But obviously that is going to have a huge effect on the "prestige point payout on death" feature request. The only why I can see people not reloading saves and killing themselves for a payout... assuming you add this feature... is to assign all saves slots a hidden random seed and that seed can only payout once.... so yeah... I could reload my save from backup but you will have already logged paying out the death points...
Seriously... does this make sense? I think its a good idea.

its because they lack any skill look at all ubisoft games rushed piles of crap and thats for every game they make because they make the devs rush out the games for the money and its in a complete **** state, I mean if you cant use your drone when in a helicopter because a bug makes the drone blow it up a bug that has been there since the game come out it shows how usless these devs are at fixing this **** show, I suggest before you put out a perma death mode that it does not make you have to restart 50 times over, I have got to level 20 3 times over and died becuase each time a bug ****s up like the ai cant revive you because they dont know what to do i mean add a feature to let you tell ai to REVIVE YOU like you have to deal the dumb **** ai to shoot a guy that is blasting you like how did you decide you would programme a **** show AI system like come on devs sort your **** out.

Playing ghost mode. Ok, no problem with that. In Agua Verde gathering the intel in the providence took off in a chopper after getting the package with no problems in sight. Flew a little bit and a SAM started to lock on I knew that I wouldn’t be able to beat the altitude range so I jumped out high enough to parachute. Was about 50-100ft AWAY FROM THE CHOPPER in a complete nose dive to pull the chute no where near the thing and then faded to black with “KILLED IN ACTION”. Same thing happened to my buddy yesterday. I like GRWL but with the chopper bull crap it’s killing ghost mode for me because why am I going to think or fear maybe I’m gonna die by helicopters when jumping out of one...that is crap and has to be fixed. Never had this issue in the main story or in the DLCs. I totally defeats the purpose of the parachutes if you can ditch from the chopper to safety.

Got hit by a npc on the rode and they killed me and an informant I was escorting to the brush and the AI refused to revive me for my first loss.
My second loss came when I "fell" off a building you can usually safely jump from. While I was being revived the game began to stutter then froze (thanks ubi servers) and when I restarted only the 62% completion in the boss list was there...everything else back to square one even unlocks so not only did I have to start from zero, since the game remembered I cleared 62% of the cartel I no longer got prestige points until I surpass that point again.👍
