During the pre-show for Ubisoft E3 2019, the company has announced a new feature for Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey. The Story Creator Mode was meant to build your own quests and share your stories with the world. However, it seems some stories were mostly dedicated to a quick way to earn some sweet XP and Ubisoft is putting its foot down:
“Since the launch of the beta we have noticed an increasing flow of “farming quests,” that exploit the tool to get large amounts of XP. These exploits risk jeopardizing the overall quality, integrity, and purpose of Story Creator Mode and results in less visibility for the creative, interesting and frankly fantastic community stories that have been published.
We want to focus on rewarding creativity by highlighting quality quests and we are working on fixes and adjustments to reduce the impact of such farming quests on the player experience. We are also changing Story Creator Mode’s terms of use to prevent creators from publishing these kinds of Stories.”
