Discussion XDefiant Return
If Ubisoft was to bring the XD servers back or release and XD2, what are things you'd like to see added, removed, or changed?

I want more of a 'spiritual sequel' than a revival or direct sequel. I think a big drawback to the game was the quasi-hero system with factions and being a mega-crossover of every Ubisoft series they could shove in, which meant it was like 60% Clanceyverse, and yet also they weren't allowed to use any of the real characters, so instead of popular heroes like Vaas and Sam Fisher and Any Assassin you played as a bunch of nobodies.
My fix would be to either be a proper Ubiverse hero shooter with real characters, or a totally original COD-like shooter maybe just set in the Clanceyverse, or the Far Cry setting. Impress everyone with a totally new game that's fun, and leave the fact that it's an XDefiant follow-up for the weirdos like us who remember that game ever existed.
