    You said you were listening. That still the case? Or are you only interested in compliments now?
    While I certainly sympathize with your sentiment; I try to remember the Mods are likely just intermediaries between us and Ubi Management. They relay Management sanctioned, or directed information to us, but don't/can't set policy. They relay specific info from us to Tech Support if appropriate; they likely have some sort of guideline for what constitutes a groundswell or trend in sentiment, desire, HORROR, etc amongst us that "warrants" passing that along to Management. They can't act on groundswell, trends, or HORROR from us on their own even if they're in agreement with it.

    In short; there may (or is likely, in my opinion) be a significant amount of our feedback on Breakpoint going back to Management. Given the volume of it, or perhaps in combination with Forum to Management Communication Guidelines/Policy; the Mods don't keep us informed of the frequency or quantity of feedback from us they relay to Management.

    Ssssssooooo basically; the Forum is like a growing bed, and we are the mushrooms. I spent my entire adult life working for either one Dept or another of the State or Federal Government----so I'm probably more used to this than some.

    I’ve been a police officer for 22 years. I know exactly what you’re talking about. We once had a senior officer that liked to keep us well informed. We all viewed him with great suspicion or wondered what was wrong with him.

    America's Army 5. They will reportedly once again have a solo campaign.

    If I was Ubisoft, and they definitely planned on a lone wolf campaign only with no AI Team, given the backlash, I would backpedal and tease that maybe some of your fellow ghosts survived the crash, but have been taken prisoner and may be rescued as one of the upcoming year 1 expansions. Then they scramble to at least implement the AI from Wildlands into Breakpoint so when you free your team, you have at least some form of AI team.

    I just want to say that "not replying" is very different from "not reading/paying very close attention to." And I don't mean that to sound glib.

    Thanks. I don’t actually expect you guys to be making any statements about the new game.

    What would be nice is any additional info on this game?

    What is the story on the Walker costume that was in the load out screens but disappeared?

    Are there any other things coming for Wildlands?

    What’s going on with the crate pool? My Spec Ops Crates are piling up but nothing is left in that pool while there are tons of items left in the Prestige Crate pool.

    Hi UbiInsulin, I guess you can't give us your own opinion on the matter of the AI squad, but you and your colleagues have passed to the people in charge pour concerns about this particular point?

    It doesn’t sound glib at all. Thank you very much for replying. I don’t envy you at present. The reception Breakpoint has had probably isn’t all that was hoped for, and you and your colleagues are the ones managing the backlash.
    That said it’s reassuring to get conformation that our feedback is being noted.

    Thanks again.
