Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag allows players to rate missions in the game
Associate producer Sylvain Trottier told Eurogamer of the functionality:
“The idea behind this feature is to be able to get the input of our players on their appreciation of each mission. The rating is anonymous and is sent to our servers to be analysed. It’s an idea that came out of discussions between our creative director Jean Guesdon and our executive producer Sébastien Puel. It was implemented early in the production, more than one year ago. It’s also being used during our playtest sessions to gather the player’s feedback.”
“It’s fully optional. It’s a way for our players to tell us directly whether they liked or not the mission. It’s a survey if you prefer. It will help us know which missions are the favourites and which one people like less.”
