i see we've learned nothing from the past 10+ years of skill trees either make the upgrade immediately noticeable or i will simply spend the point elsewhere. what is 2%. 2 is nothing. if i try to do anything 2% stronger irl i might accidentally do it 10% weaker because what does 2% even mean - ThreadSky

my "favorite" is when it's something way less concrete. like, okay, i'm 2.5% stealthier, cool, what exactly does that mean though

It sucks when a game gives you a skill tree, and most of the nodes to upgrade look like that.

Those upgrades aren't noticeable, and such trees basically do nothing but waste your time clicking them.

Reminds me of Borderlands. Lots of abilities that just bumps something by 1.5%.

If ubisoft allowed one iota of unnecessary grind to go past them. It would be snowing in hell.

(this is AC Shadows, which otherwise has been very good so far)

that makes me think that skill tree is needlessly huge then.

I liked Valhalla well enough, but the skill tree was full of stuff like that and every time I looked at it I forgot if I was trying to build to something specific or not.

common issue it seems https://bsky.app/profile/joewintergreen.com/post/3lkz6ndb5ck2p

ugh... this tells me only one thing- it is an over inflated skill tree that salami sliced a stat boost into a million pieces.

While I am sure the gameplay is technically proficient, I have to ask- does this seem like it is trying to be a 'forever game' that tries to eat up a lot of time?

Stuff like this is always so you have a reason to "farm the best equipment" or something of the sort to increase playtime so you get the best percentages possible so it actually do something, I guess it makes sense for gacha games like Genshin but I really don't get why in a game like AC
