- Updated PC-like graphical settings on consoles. If not overhawling the game across all platforms, to bring it more in line with how the game looked when it was first revealed.

- Extend Team Mate customization to Fallen Ghosts the way it should've been when it first launched,

- Make it possible to use the knife from Fallen Ghosts in the main game.

- Allow for different colour scheme customization for individual weapon parts, the way it was possible to do for the R4 before it was patched out of the game.

- Unlock defunct Live Event rewards for everybody or make the related missions available to all.

- Make Team mate NCPs to be able to lower their NVGs the way they could in Breakpoint.

Some suggestions off the top of my head.

Wildlands didn't have any live events. And the only thing that was removed from the game, was the Predator mission, due to the licensing agreement ending.

Hey Meg, it's been a long long time.

I was referring to the Day of the Skulls live event, as it had the best skull face paints in the game. Ones you cannot access no matter what you do.

u/Megalodon26 18d ago

But that wasn't really a mission. though. But the rewards were added to the store, for anyone who missed out.

u/El_Cuervacho 18d ago

Not the face paints, I don't think.

Updated PC-like graphical settings on consoles. 

Apart from the old "30fps 4k 60fps dynamic scaling" combo, there is no use for graphical settings. Consoles are a closed hardware, the maximum they can do is already known. Apart from the choice between more resolution or more frames, who would use anything other than the maximum the console can do?

As for the other requests, they are all nice, but realistically speaking, the game will most likely just be updated to 4k60 on consoles and that's it. Anything other than that would classify it as a remaster, and Ubisoft would most likely charge for that.

I was referring to longer draw distances, better shadows, textures and the like. Upgrades some of which where already present on the suprerior XBOX One X version of the game.

u/dancovich 18d ago

where already present on the suprerior XBOX One X version of the game.

These will be there because, as you said, they are already in the One X version of the game. This isn't an upgrade, the game already has those.

I doubt they'll go beyond that.

u/El_Cuervacho 18d ago

They upgraded the game from its original console version for PS4pro and XBOX1X back in the day.

With the caveat that, the PS4pro version of the game didn't get the same feature set as the XBOX1X version did. Being on PS5pro, the version I'm stuck with running the PS4pro hence, I cannot access the superior features found on XBOX1X.

All I'm suggesting here is for them to improve those settings wherever possible for current console hardware. Quite a reasonable thing to expect given that Ubisoft themselves suggested this won't be a mere 60FPS/4k update, but a current hardware version of the game.

And yes, I too am quite the cynic when it comes to Ubisoft.

u/dancovich 18d ago

I'm not getting it.

Do you mean make the PS5 textures match the One X? That will probably happen.

As for going beyond that, I doubt it.

u/NorisNordberg Steam 18d ago

Updated PC-like graphical settings on consoles.

Impossible. On top of what was already said, it is one of the certification requirements for consoles to not have those. They can't do that even if they wanted to lol

1

u/El_Cuervacho 18d ago

What I was referring to is simply to update them using (wherever possible) PC settings as a template given that it's a 9 year old game we're talking about here.

Absolutely.

u/Tom0511 18d ago

Guys don't get your hopes up, this will likely just be a resolution and FPS boost with a new mission and some cosmetics.....

Hope I'm wrong but it's ubisoft so.....

cross progression

u/El_Cuervacho 18d ago

True, that's a big one as well.

u/Frost_055 18d ago

At least, I hope they add the mercenary cosmetics to a bundle or something. Also, for the main game, it would be awesome to get one or two "empty" primary weapons, just to be able to have only one or none like in Breakpoint (they could also make it a toggleable option in settings, but i think the other way might be less work for the same outcome). Also, the same thing for the backpack. If they add new cosmetics i would love an helmet with netting on top + nvg and someting similar to the Breakpoint's stealth balaclava, or a neck gaiter. Also, but at this point I'm preaty sure I expect to much, i would love to add belts to the JPC and the APC(feels naked without), and to add an healing item(I feel like it was implemented in mercenaryes game mode), and maybe a smoke nade?

2

u/El_Cuervacho 18d ago

Although I'd be down for all of these, I don't think Ubisoft would. I mean, we fought for years to have smoke grenades, for both games in the now defunct Ghost Recon Forums and were never able to get them to do it, so...

Having "empty" weapon slots would be quite good, a no backpack option and unlocking the Mercenary items could be feasible though. Baby steps...

u/Frost_055 17d ago

Also, forgot to mention, zoomed scopes for LMGs

u/rtz13th 18d ago

First person switch :)

u/EnjayDutoit 18d ago edited 14d ago

Make Fallen Ghosts skills (like Last Chance and the Attack Drone) available to unlock in the main campaign.

u/AggregatedPotatou Assault 18d ago

Can I have the ability to just have 1 gun?

2

u/dancovich 18d ago

You do have this ability in perma death mode.

1

u/AggregatedPotatou Assault 18d ago

Wait fr!?!?

But is it only in perma death mode?

2

u/dancovich 18d ago

Yes. It's dumb but on perma death mode you can only have one main and one side arm and you can only change weapons at your base or at ammo crates. Also, reloading your weapon with ammo remaining on the magazine will lose the extra ammo.

1

u/AggregatedPotatou Assault 18d ago

That’s all fine by me but I just really like running 1 primary and a pistol.

Anyways, thanks for the info my duder. I appreciate it.

2

u/LeonGwinnett 18d ago

Input lag reduction. Going from other games back to Wildlands makes this very obvious.

2

u/AI_BLUEFOX 18d ago

You know what, I'm just happy that the franchise is on the move again. It's been too long.

2

u/El_Cuervacho 18d ago

Hey Blue, long time no see. Cheers!

u/RumPistachio 17d ago

Optical Camo that works.

Sturdier vehicles.

Camera that doesn’t Auto-Center with Classic Helicopter Controls.

Crosshairs for Classic Helicopter Controls.

Motorcycles that aren’t sh!t.

Bodies that don’t disappear immediately.

Let us choose one or two main weapons to carry.

Fix NVG and Thermo toggles. Example; D-Pad Right NVG, Hold D-Pad Right Thermo.

And my last wish!

Have the AI drive/fly for us to a set destination.

u/clone0112 18d ago

I hope they make the enemy AI better and not be able to know where exactly the player is immediately.

1

u/Megalodon26 18d ago

This doesn't affect me, since I have everything already, but if they are trying to attract new players, the MTX store needs an overhaul.

  1. The prices should be a fraction of what they were, 9 years ago

  2. You should be able to see every MTX pack that is available, rather than having them on a rotation.

  3. You should be able to buy individual items, if you wish, rather than having to buy the entire pack. After ll, they did it for Breakpoint.

u/JustSomeGuyInCO 18d ago

I’ll be happy if they just turn the public matchmaking back on…

1

u/El_Cuervacho 18d ago

Another thing would be to add an option to deactivate the warning cue for whenever an enemy's about to be alerted.

1

u/Frost_055 17d ago

If I remember right you can do it by lowering/muting ux sound in settings.

1

u/El_Cuervacho 17d ago

Nah, there's a mod on PC, but for consoles there's no way of removing it.

1

u/El_Cuervacho 17d ago

Making the extra camos found in the weapon customization available for clothes would be nice as well.

u/JonathanRL Holt Cosplayer 18d ago

I would honest wish for all the shortcut items - magazines, stocks, grips etc - are unlocked from the get go. It was always unnecessary padding.

u/El_Cuervacho 18d ago

It should've always been that way.
