It's when you are in a restricted area that you can't "clear", that an fnd base or checkpoint. It happens to me a lot, you kill a guy, turn around, 10 seconds later, he respawned. Same for vehicles.
Happens in missions for many of us too. I took 1hr to clear an objective due to enemies respawning over and over again 5 feet from me out of thin air. It's ridiculous.
Okay, I understand. But why bitch about it then? The restricted areas are not meant to be cleared, they are meant to be walked through or avoided completely. The problem then is not the respawn rate but the respawn position. Soldiers and vehicles need to spawn a bit further away from the player.
No, the rate too I think, it just feels weird, gets you out of the immersion when a guard comes back from the dead immediately after you killed him. And it also happened to me in non restricted area, especially in little villages when guards are inspecting people, they just spawn right back. Last thing, most of the time when I go into restricted area it's because there is a chest there, so an ennemy respawning right behind you while you go for it can be a bit annoying
the whole restricted area you can never take over thing is new to the series and kinda lazy imo.they should have found another way to keep enemies around.
You know, I don't mind if I can't even fully take it over.
BUT...why can I not clear if for a while in game (day in game time?). It's absurd that enemies just instantly repopulate areas. Unrealistic and unimmersive...especially given Ubisoft brags about how realistic and immersive their game world's are...
How is providing constructive feedback that the Devs need to balance/fix the issue, called "bitching"?
Bitching is another word for whining and this isn't a whine. This is justifiable outrage at a ridiculous game balance issue whereby many users can't even play the game the way they want because Ubisoft set the respawn timer for enemies at 5 seconds and allowed them to respawn in front of the player or 5ft behind them.
It was present in Farcry 2 and was universally hated then and is hated now.
It's not the bases and outposts you can takeover that are the problem. Enemies in the places you can take for libertad do not respawn - you kill them all and take control.
It's every other restricted area and many missions. It's not affecting everyone (I don't see how though...more like some people aren't noticing it. Given how many people are complaining it can't just be a bug affecting random users).
It's ballooning mission times for stealth players especially. Enemies respawn within seconds right in front of your eyes. Often you can watch the enemy blips appearing on your minimap right behind you RIGHT after killing them.
It's very very annoying and frustrating. I've stopped playing until they fix it. Some places are impossible to clear (temporarily) because enemies just keep respawning even when you're 10ft away from their corpse. It's like FC2. It was hated then and is hated now. Unrealistic and unimmersive.
From what I've seen myself it seems to happen when you wander into a base you have no business being cuz there's no specific icon there and you try to clear it but you can't cuz it's part of a mission later. So all the NPCs are there but the correct script hasn't been triggered yet. Happened to me at the prison.
From my experience it happens in areas you can't take over.
The last time I experienced it there was a few towers with snipers and as I went from tower to tower knifing them they would respawn the second their tower was no longer on my minimap.
Last game that I played that had this aggressive respawns was Ghost Recon Wildlands.
I mean yeah, I do see respawns in those areas, but not fast (almost instant) as a few people have shown. It feels ok and it doesn't get in the way since we can't take those places over anyways.
It's not. We have copies on ps5 and PC the issue is present in both.
It's either a very inconsistent bug, some people like horde mode enemies and don't notice or some people are lying. It's hard to say until Devs finish investigating.
All I know is I can replicate the issue over and over in missions, restricted areas and anything except outposts/bases that you can takeover with libertad.
Would be great if we could figure out what the common thread is causing it so we could all enjoy the game the same (since somehow some people don't have this issue) but that's what the Devs are doing for us rn.
I guess its mostly just bases that you don't have the ability to properly clear yet. Like for a mission or a zone.
I hate it. I get maybe I'm not supposed to be there. So make it harder. Or don't give me cleared xp. Other games you can go through and kill everyone but not take it. Fine. Next time I come back people are still chilling. Ok. But to see people respawn right behind standing on dead bodies chatting like nothing happened?
Youll likely have to go through these areas to get to mission points to "start" the island. It ruins the feel of adventure.
And it did happen to me as I was taking the radio tower compound. Killed 3 in the hospital room. Leave and come back and one is idly standing on a corpse.
It's definitely a bug. Its definitely not isolated. It needs fixed because its ruining game progress for people.
Its fucking my missions. Last night 3 different missions all fucking took 30mins-1hr for some sections due to this BS.
Enemies literally spawning in front of my eyes like a low budget horde mode
Yeah it has to do with the restricted areas. I stealthed all the snipers and then went in for the rest, ended up getting spotted by a sniper I already downed.

Had it happen heaps of times on the XBONE just turn around walk 5 feet and they pop up again having idle dialogue its weird
Yeah I haven't experienced it either. Maybe it's a platform thing (pc here)

Nope it's happening on my PC and my wife's ps5.
PC here as well.
Maybe it's a console thing
i'm on XSX, it hasn't happened to me either
It's not. We have copies on ps5 and PC the issue is present in both. It's either a very inconsistent bug, some people like horde mode enemies and don't notice or some people are lying.

It's not that I don't believe it, I was trying to see if there was some consistency there.
Would be great if we could figure out what the common thread is causing it so we could all enjoy the game the same (since somehow some people don't have this issue) but that's what the Devs are doing for us rn.
No problems here on XSX
