I completely forgot about Spider Tank, just tried it out for the first time and sweet baby Jesus! So much fun, I really wish you could use it to roam the entire city. Maybe in WD2.

the one im doing right now says knockout. was trying to shoot them in the legs but they kept dying. is it only a very specific location you can hit them for it to register as non-lethal? recall someone saying kneecaps?

How can you be sure you're not tailed ? I don't think there's any indication on screen if you don't manage to catch him, unlike hacking. I caught 3 of them, but I think I let a lot of them go.
Sometimes my metro stops or a blackout starts, so I know I'm tailed, but I never find the guy before he escapes. It's really great.

I love how you can clear some missions without even having to be on the premises, thanks to conveniently placed cameras
How would you know?

I have initiated massacres of countless NPC's thanks to my paranoia that there is a human watching me.
My reputation had gotten so bad, the NPCs randomly call the police on me when I'm walking the streets

Ah ah. I avoided killing them and now people never call the cops anymore. I hear them talking about me and I see them taking photos.

I got the game since saturday (PS4). Before launch I was invaded almost 10 times. After launch I got 0 invasions Is this a problem on Ubi servers?
Is this a problem on Ubi servers?Because if you pause the game and the background freezes, you're alone. If not, then stuff stays moving. Also Aiden will put his phone away if someone enters your game.
That's how I know I've been tailed twice. One other time I tried to join an online mode and it said I was being invaded. Then another I caught them.
I actually JUST got the trophy and as I was typing this I knew I was getting hacked because first, Aiden put the phone away. Then, I checked and the pause screen kept stuff moving.
I finished the story today and started to play online. I thought the story was fairly good but dear god the online. Some rush when you are hacking someone and you see the circle to search get smaller and smaller. I hid in a bush in the middle while in cover and they ran right beside me without noticing. Does the profiler not get you if you are hidden like that?
I'm not sure that finding the player hacking you and just shooting them in the head as they try hiding in a vehicle will ever get old. The online hacking/tailing modes are great fun and I think they put the game over the top.
Not sure about that. I think you have to use something like the baton for non-lethal takedowns.

Realized my video wasn't working right, here's a youtube link to a really close call during an invasion I did.
if they stabilize the network infrastructure, I think this could be a thing.

Might need to stop sniffing glue
Nope, very satisfying. I wll say, when trying to do something, getting hacked can be annoying, though, it's part of the game.
On a side note, I was about to quit, the game wouldn't let me. Someone was in my game. They died quickly trying to mount a motorcycle nearby before even starting their hack.

On PC ? I had zero problem with the network infrastructure on PS4. I must have been hacked and tailed dozens of times and I could do the same without any trouble.
sorry, yes, PC. It's incredibly erratic, but supreme fun when you get a match.
Well, I am trying to play without really killing anyone unless it is through hacking. Convey missions I tend to get stuck on but I'm getting used to it. I'm not as good at this as I am at Titanfall though haha. One more mission and I can sleep.
Yeah, it's been hard to get online on PC, but it seems to working fine at the moment.

Funny ending.

Ok, thanks for the tip. It makes sense.
I believe I have not fired a shot except trying to kill invaders or test the crowd to find one.
You can kneecap people, just not random citizens, best done with focus. Watch for "neutralized" rather than "killed" in the upper right when you get xp.
Baton is my preferred way, though.

Holy shit haha. It's frustrating enough not knowing where they were hiding if you get hacked, but seeing them right in front of you at 95% would be rubbing salt into it.

Oh, interesting. Will have to play around with that
I kind of hate that there are such easy methods to know when someone enters your game, but I don't really know of any other way they could do it. The phone being automatically put up is the worst, as I likely wouldn't have tried pausing the game if my character didn't randomly put my phone up while finding people to hack.
Happy to be done with that stuff and get back to the story and side missions.

I only just started so this might be a dumb question, but what does the profiler display if you place it on an invader? How can you tell for sure that it's an invader if they haven't started hacking you yet?
Also, what's the difference between tailing and hacking as far as invasions go?

When hacking, boats are so cheap if used right
well apparently aiden puts his phone away or something. I haven't noticed this, but yeah. it wouldn't work while in a vehicle I imagine.

Yes, he was tailing you.
I thought you weren't notified when being tailed.
Krisprolls

The profiler becomes purple (the "online" color) and the guy starts to flee because he gets an alert too.
When being hacked you are notified and you get the zone where the hacker is. This zone becomes really small when he gets his hacking close to 100 %. So hacking is difficult.
Tailing makes you less points but it's easier. The victim isn't notified (there are tricks to know you're not alone though, see above), and he doesn't get zones. It's a lot easier.

You're not notified unless you find him. If he escapes without you finding him, you'll never know he was here.
Edit : Oh I didn't see. You got a notification of the invasion ?? If so, it's a hack, there's no notification if it's a tailing. Sorry.
'You are being invaded' popped up on the screen, so I definitely knew someone was there, even before I saw them.

Yeah, sorry, I didn't read your post well. It was a hack then.

I got a weird one during being hacked. It actually told me I was being invaded a good 2 minutes before the hacking started. Typicallyni only get alerted once the hack has started. I hadn't found him so I'm not sure why it happened.

I'm actually enjoying the game, or what little I've played of it.
Trying to knock the multi-player trophies out so I can just have fun in my own time before the "new game" rush wears off and all the online stuff dies out. The only problem is that I can't connect to a single Online Race or Hacking game to save my life.
"Average wait time: 3 Minutes" ... times out, re-queue. Is it really that dead already, or something else? I'm glad I managed to get all the tailing ones out of the way but it's really worrying that I can't even get one race let alone 10 and the game came out two days ago.
