    Just so you're aware..

    I'm a Forum Manager - my main concern is the day to day running of the forum - I do not have direct input in creating content, or talking about the game - that is either the Community Developers role, or Community Manager - I do though suggest things which are needed - which I already have done.


    People seem to be confusing the role I play here, so it's best I put people straight - my job IS to encourage people to use these forums constructively - it's not to make content, I ask for and populate the forums with content that the community want - or need, but that content comes from the Dev team


    I have played the game, but I don't think you really want to talk to me about tactics etc - when you can be talking to the people who wrote it ?



    Re the forum's creation - the game did not have a forum at launch, it was asked for by the community - that is a fact, since I was one of the people who suggested it to the team - I am one of the Assassin's Creed forum managers, so we do have a bit of input.

    Previously - if you were around at game launch, you would have seen that there was only a single thread, in the main Assassin's Creed forum.

    After many requests, it was decided to create this forum, when we moved to the new software.

    Many smaller titles, released on main consoles, do not get a forum, so it is something you should be proud of gaining, even if you have to share with other titles in the series. Sharing forums, which has been done on many other titles, does sometimes produce benefits, such as meeting new players - or sharing common interests.

    The Forums are about community - so we do not like to segregate groups unless it's really needed.



    No one is suggesting there is a fight between this and any other unofficial forum - I was simply pointing out my hope that people will use this one, once content is here, since it was created for the community.

    I have said many times that content is being created - which it is - you as with anyone, are free to post where you like.

    When that content is ready, you may well see more interactions from the Dev Team - since they are keen to build the community further on the official site


    End of the day - new content is coming - if you decide to use the forums, that's unto you - I am just explaining why the forums are empty at the moment, so please do not shoot the messenger!

    Well, I hope to see the Community Manager, Community Devs here soon to discuss interesting things like what was their inspiration for the game; how they designed the AI decks, can we expect more AI campaigns, what we can expect in the future, number of cards in expansion, etc.

    Sorry, my apologies, I was mistaking the job of Ubisoft as a whole with yours... Indeed you are tasked with managing the Ubi forums and that's got no jurisdiction or power over content creation or community building, or even promotion.

    So I guess yes, you've done all you're tasked to do, my frustration was then directed at Ubisoft at large, you just happen to be standing in the line of (friendly?) fire

    Indeed the Recollection community asked for a forum I was there. And indeed we got something... Whether it's what we asked for is debatable. (If I asked to join Alcoholics Anonymous and got sent to a room to listen to traffic accident and murder victims I'd not really be happy)

    However with the right content (dev discussions and news) this forum doesn't need to have anything like ACRB, which talks about game mechanics and daily tactics, so I rest my case, if and when that content becomes reality, we will still be around

    Until that content comes, there's really no point asking "why are you guys not posting here?".



    Looking forward to more news... Really like to know what bugs have been fixed in the upcoming update hint hint hint

    I'm not one person? Man, that would be AWESOME!

    But seriously... Shade has been hounding us for content, and truth be told, we were hoping to have more robust content available here for the launch of these forums (seriously, you should see my initial content plan for this action, it was LIMITLESS!). Of course, plans being what they are, this one is taking a bit longer.

    Hopefully, we'll be able to get UbiDiiLite in here with some FAQs and updates about upcoming content very soon. We'll also see if we can get some posts directly from the developers, although, that may take a little while as well since they're working pretty hard right now.

    Well thanks for your attention over yonder here, I'm sure the devs are hard at work, the new update is spectacular

    Although a definitive change list would be great right about now, we remain patient for official content from official sources

    In the meantime, we're all gonna go rebuild our decks to the new metagame :P
