I agree, they should also bring back the other ratings, mass murderer etc.
Fixes not mentioned in patch notes
Fixed lock-on system
Added new music when 47 dies
Added kill sound
added sfx to vip suit (Hokkaido)
Added compass at the bottom left of the map
You can't pause while dying
Removed new mouse sensitivity options
you can ring the phone more than once.
Walking into NPC's no longer places an "!" above their heads, it also doesn't put a white dot with a circle around it on the map.
Camera Server removed from the Security Hut in Bangkok. You now need to infiltrate the 1st Floor Security Room to delete evidence.
Thrown items are less "powerful" as distractions. (needs more testing, but no more luring one NPC from one room to another.)
New russian lines in training mission.
Fixed npc's in Bangkok which had voice from other sex.

..There's some in the basement area of the mansion there too, IIRC.
Or at least in an area near the basement.

There aren't actually that many places where you could use that, are there? I guess you could pull half the auction party guests off the balcony.
Climb up the pipe behind the ice cream shop and go through the window. There's rat poison right there.

a random grievance of mine...I've been using Youtube walkthroughs to do some of the various challenges. The amount of videos out there that don't say what their loadout is is mind boggling...like, why would you do such a thing?
So, instead, you have to watch an 18 minute video just to find all the items they used or brought with them.
anywho...I can't tell if I'm having audio problems with my game on PS4. As far as I can tell, I've got my 5.1 properly set up and all channels are playing.
But when I watch Youtube videos (could be PC or PS4, I guess), there are sound effects I hear that I just don't have on mine. For example, when a player throws a coin in the Youtube videos, I hear the clickity *tink, tink* of the coin bouncing. On my PS4, the coin is completely silent. But I AM otherwise getting sound out my center channel (and I'm usually facing the coin, meaning the sound shouldn't be coming out the side channels, which are usually lower in volume).
Anyone experience anything like this?

I'll get this excited once the game lets go of the online only crap.
Episode 1, and 2 are incredible. 3, and 4 just don't compare imo. 4 aesthetically has everything going for it, but seems a bit flat.

I think it will be Paris with Christmas theme for a period of time + elusive target, and the second and third screenshots are the new Sapienza bonus episode.
/speculation off.

Man, I hope they don't actually release a Christmas elusive target during the week of Christmas when everyone is out for the holidays.
I still say it should have been Bangkok that's getting a Christmas theme. Christmas in Thailand is a real thing.
It's been pretty consistently every two weeks. There will be one this week in Marrakesh (so get moving on finishing Sapienza), probably starting on Friday as usual.
(Which would suggest another elusive target on the 16th... and I hope they don't release any later than that this year.)

Just mastered Bangkok! Really enjoyable map I thought. Think I liked it even more than Marrakesh. Loving this game and am looking forward to the next couple of maps.
I suppose it's linked to the offline profiles.

Reddit always seems to know the elusive target codenames before they are officially confirmed.
Is this also from whichever people are acquiring those leaked screenshots?
Looks like this was deconfirmed. No changes to throwing.
Wouldn't really make sense as a change.

We can. There's leaked audio of guards describing the disguise.
Good thing I decided to work on Marrakesh instead of moving on. I'm almost 20 there.
I don't know what possessed me to do the headmaster's revenge challenge but that was a bit time consuming. I found some interesting other opportunities while I was at it, though. Just need to find a way to get a sniper rifle up into the headmaster's apartment...

you can usually get there with about about half of them if you just want the unlocks. do the ones that give you 5,000 points.

Yes, you should be able to reach level 20 doing 2/3 of the challenges.
Oh my word.
So this might not be a thematic thing, but another Bonus Episode?
Why go through all of the trouble making something that'll last at least a month, max?
O-oh, the ETs...

"hello?" "this is vagina"
Is this separate from the mini map? I'd prefer not to use a mini map but I like having a compass to orient myself.
Mr.Freeze2244 has some good challenge videos and always tells you the loadout before the mission.

Thought this was just as part of the new escalation contract. Kinda strange that they removed it. Makes that office pointless now.
Its separate from the mini map, it's on the night regular map when using select/touchpad.
Also this pull an enemy from the window thing, am I misunderstanding because couldn't we always yank people out of windows and ledges?

Nice, they finally fixed the 'Open Sesame' opportunity glitch. Great to finally get that final achievement.
Just downloaded the patch on Steam, really hope it actually fixes the low fps cutscene issue I was having. The patch notes said they would get as low as 19 fps but they actually were going as low as 9 fps on my PC. Its weird because I installed and played the game on Saturday night and they worked fine but then I played yesterday and the issue just showed up.

Just realized there's no missions with rainy weather. Shame, because they looked so good in Absolution.
Also, why aren't the maps rotated so that they actually line up with the compass? Currently, "north" is actually to the left on the map in Paris.

There used to be three separate camera systems in Sapienza, but at some point they all became one. (And right now all cameras in a level are always part of the same system.)
This is probably filed under "needs more work" at IO right now.
It did actually work like that for a bit where each section had separate recordings but it was patched so taking out one does them all.
Yeah, I personally preferred when it mattered more with location but I imagine it was too hard for them to get the message across on what camera went to what security system.
Interesting that they moved the Bankgkok station but that is a hilariously easy one to break since there's nothing stopping you from opening the door and shooting it.

Played through the ICA facility stuff last night.
Brilliant game. So glad I picked it up during the PSN sale.

Something that's been bugging me for a while...
Some time ago a bunch of challenges randomly unlocked on the Paris, Sapienza and Marrakesh map for me. I hadn't completed the Marrakesh map yet but all challenges, feats and assassinations appear as completed to me while my mastery level is still 1.
Is there a way to fix/reverse this?

Before, you had to be standing next to the window or hanging from a ledge with no barrier above you. Now you can also do it while hanging under a window or hanging from a ledge with a barrier above you.
I suspect this is to enable kills for the upcoming bonus mission that would not have been possible before.
Edit: I can't climb through a window once I pull someone out of it from below. Yeah, this needs more testing.
A few other changes:
- Default starting spots for Paris and Hokkaido were renamed.
- Infiltration opportunities that become redundant because you already got in now say "opportunity surpassed."
- The basement security room in Paris is now off-limits if you're not security.
- More sound effects for disguises in general, not just the Hokkaido patient disguise. Like, as a chef you make apron noises as you run.

That's interesting however pointless because I never go inside. I always shoot the device from a safe distance.
Okay, I was going to complain about Bangkok security because I always used the hut (the other was too annoying)
And then I was gonna complain about the change to Paris basement security.
But then I see you guys say you can just shoot it? Is there a way to do it without getting spotted?
The things you learn after 100 hrs....
