I just feel the devs don't deserve to lose their jobs, and the community doesn't deserve to lose this game and be left with a huge hole in our heart. I hope the devs are ok and i hope Xdefiant is a message to shake things up
I saw a dev say on Reddit that a big upside of this update was that they could now put all of this work into their portfolio instead of it being trapped under NDAs forever. This update was as much for them as it was for us.
@@aliensquid I do think the main problem was a mismanagement by the higher ups in Ubisoft. But theres no doubt about it, the devs were talented and they didnt deserve to get screwed over by Ubisoft.
the crazy shit about this whole thing is we were letting the devs cook....they cooked...and we recieved more than what they marketed..yet Ubisoft top brass couldn't even do that right.
Dude there were not enough players spending money in yhe store. Thats how a free to play game works. Im curious. What do you do for a living? Career? Are you slow?
Xdefiant can't be saved at this point. The only way is major cash and rebuilding of the xdefiant team which is highly unlikely. The best thing we can hope for is Mark Rubin getting another shot in the future.
When I was playing consistently, we'd get lobbied up so many times in a night. Reminded me of the old Halo / cod days where I instantly recognized players in the pregame lobby. Depending on the gun I had to use, you made my mastery camo challenges a giant pain in the ass 😂😂 I'll be playing more again after the Holidays. Keep an eye out for (RawDawgin...). GGs bro and Merry Christmas!
The games coming back. Ive been saying since day 1. Ive been blowing up X with XD and Ubi tagged. We've talked about it a TON on your streams....so you know my stance. We've got an amazing community to back our creators and the game. Its coming back 100%. I only get a few hours off then back to plow truck I go...so if I dont catch ya u know why. Love what ur doing brotha, let's get our game back. Petition is at 5151. Yesterday before the content drop it was at 4200. Were blowing up. Sorry for the long comment.
The way I see it, this was the only way we’d ever see most of this content. I was thinking we’d get S3 and S4, then radio silence, then the end of XDefiant support is announced 6 months later by a random Ubisoft Support agent like what happened to Watch Dogs Legion. Ubisoft corporate making a move this drastic is the only reason they decided to release the next year’s worth of content.
Less than %1 still means there's a chance. Nothing anyone says or does makes me think any differently. Remember the name Meyhem cause when the game comes back I want the world to know I stood behind XD 100% from day 1.
Since the news of the shutdown I can't find a lobby I have searched for as long as 30 minutes in several different game modes and on several different occasions, I simply can't find a lobby.
I’ve always hated Ubisoft and when Xdefiant came out, they got me. I decided to let them in and fell in love with the game. And here we are, just for this to happen. That being said. I truly hope splinter cell is given its justice ( huge fan of story and SvM chaos theory) and Xdefiant to whomever owns the IP in the future.
Just found your channel, but you should try the finals if you haven’t. The SBMM has never been noticeable to me outside of the ranked playlist and despite the smaller player count I never have lag to another player. Usually just server lag every now and again.
Jak who would you want to take over Ubisoft? Tencent or PlayStation? Hopefully, Mark and the team will return to a new company or Ubisoft partnered with Tencent or PlayStation.
I would make me so fukin happy if this game got somehow resurrected but realistically its never going to happen. Im sure going to miss this game when its gone
As much as I this game to live I do t think they will change their mind, in my opinion the final nail in the coffin was when they gave everyone everything single item in the game. I find it very hard that they will take it all back unfortunately.
What I still dont understand is that this isn’t the first time for Ubisoft, R6 Siege was on the same boat back in its first year too and they not only kept it going and didn’t give up, they doubled down on it and it became on of the most successful live service games ever… why not give XDefiant the same chance? Makes no sense.
Jak this is so bad on Ubisoft's part for example before Delta Force there was a game called WW3 that was supposed to be the "Battlefield killer" it failed but a new publisher bought it and is trying to revive the game that has just a little bit under 200 peak players (Servers are still up) If Ubisoft doesn't even want to do the bare minimum give XDefiant a new publisher
This update is so mf discouraging to play man every time i open the game up after this update i just get an overwhelming sense of "whats the point?" Yea its fun but my level isnt gonna matter, theres nothing to unlock, no sense of progression or anything to be hyped about. Its like watching videos you have with someone that died its just sad and mournful.
In the best possible timeline, the only way this game survives is if Sony buys Ubisoft over TenCent. Sony desperately wants a live service title, and being able to inject Sony's 1st party into xDefiant like the Helgast or the Super Marines would be a slam dunk. Do not look towards Elon and his AI aspirations, let us beg Hiroki Totoki to take mercy on us and take some of that Bungie & Katakawa money and cop Ubisoft too.
Xdefiant could have been a bigger success. The power crap, was unnecessary. And the phantoms have 120% hp, in a game with an already long ttk was an awful design decision. It was easily abuseable. And many people did, from snipers to smg users, and objective modes were swarmed with them more often than not. I would say about 50% of the time the player of the game was phantom in my playtime. But regardless of that, they did ubisoft up a shooter game trying to mimic cod. Cod itself gets blasted for its fortnite like skins nowadays by normal people. Ubisofts storefront, had literally 0 things i was interested in. It was the same FOMO, and was like 1/10 the size of cods also. For a free game, a decent storefront is basically a requirement. The game probably just needed more cooking time to truly get to a point it needed to be in for that. But the rest of the stuff was just, never gonna keep the cod players. Not enough to grind=cod players going back to the cod grind.
Ubisoft was going down due to half hearted games. Rainbow 6 has a big server problem. The response is to release a new game too early and save every penny on servers. How can my self-hosted Ark Server, sitting in my basement, held together with hopes and payers, outperform their multi-million dollar studio? They desperately need more players to use their services, so the response is to disallow downloads, killing any hope this game would make a COD MW3 like Comeback. They have already paid for the content they now release. This approach is so childish.
I'm unfortunately not on the same boat as you. I knew this game was going to fail when people complained about the Tom Clancy logo. "Oh yeah, it's Ubisoft". Then I move on, not disappointed or upset in the slightest. Risk of Rain 2, Phasmaphonia, Hades 2, BG3. It may not be multiplayer, but the tides aren't favoring military shooters; and ya gotta look at the tides... This genre is currently in limbo.
@trashaimgamer7822 Doesn't the game have an m16 assault rifle as a load out option? It has military shooter elements, but they themed it around a game show to target children and parent's credit cards.
Feel free to prove me wrong guys. I said this while the game was hype. Now that it's toes up you're all quiet or just upset. I will continue to rub this in until this corporate slop stops. Educate yourselves on the industry you invest so much time in.

The biggest issue for me is that the game is just straight up shutting down and not just ending support.

Bro. You're getting trolled. There was not a dev from the XD team in your stream. Did you vet him? What sub-team is he on? Which office/studio?
Started the game up to see the new content got a freaking error message wouldn’t even launch
They should release it on steam with no Ubisoft connect and see how it goes.
I was just kidding asking Elon to buy Ubi lol

Since the news of the shutdown I can't find a lobby I have searched for as long as 30 minutes in several different game modes and on several different occasions, I simply can't find a lobby.
I mean, most people probably just don't feel the motivation to play knowing that everything will be gone in June 2025, me included.

I don't really think AC Shadows will be the Ubisoft saving game and agree that XDefiant should've had more money to keep the servers up
ggs you were in my game you won

12:47 🗣️ Hey ❗️👋 what’s the name of the 2nd channel Jake ? 😳🤷🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️ Let us know bro 😎 👀
Our only hope is Ubisoft being bought out and then the new owners reviving it. Longshot thought
I don’t get why they can’t just leave the servers up and not update anymore. It won’t cost them shit to do that.
leaving servers up cost money, isn't free
@ it’s dirt cheap, people do it for free for hundreds of thousands of people on wow private servers
This could be an amazing opportunity for Sony pick Ubisoft up to compete against Microsoft/CoD.
My friend said the same thing lol
wild people complain about Team Balancing lol

I hope splitgate 2 is good. I liked the first one
They made it a hero shooter so I’m not hopeful
If Splitgate 2 outlasts XDefiant I’ll be surprised
Bro season 3 is so fuckin good!! The maps and the new abilities! Please Sony or Tencent buy Unisoft 🙏
