That looks great.
Would love to see it be official.
Reflects what my journey about the Cherry Blossom Baller was:
- when we had the thumbnail in leaks, disliked it for being too garish.
- when we had the more subdued pink looking one on the roadmap, found it endearing.
- when we had the in-game one, was disappointed.

The Undying again
However much faster
Begin Dolphin Fountain
Equip Durian
Once inside building go to left concierge baggage area and get the Kronstadt disquise
Talk to Dave Ready he will get you to the meeting and avoid any pat down.
Once inside Faba will approach the center of table.
Go to corner near window basically behind him diagonally.
Throw the Durian both Faba and Ready will get sick
Be sure to walk away down the table to avoid durian gas
Faba should get sick first and go right into bathroom and ready will go to other down hall.
Drown and immediately put Faba in closet
Ready actually came back to use this bathroom and nearly caught me. Watch the map to make sure he isnāt close. If so just hide in closet because Faba is accident itās SA
Leave after all drama and heās dragged out.
But if quick once in closet just leave.
Avoid camera. If you get camera then head to parking garage and take out camera if you want SA
Easy 5:45 total

Edit: it is fixed now.

It shows up for me, now (PlayStation 4 version).
ā¦ Although the description is a bitā¦
āEveryone knows that silver is so last yearā¦ so why not impress and make your fellow coin collectors twitch with envy with this elegent, yet simple purple coin.ā
Should be āelegantā, obviously.
(Not entirely sure about the lack of a question mark or the comma before the āyetā either, but Iām not a native English speakerā¦ Those probably arenāt big deals anyway, compared to āelegentāā¦)
Speaking of, would be nice if they could spell āouroborosā properly, too. I believe theyāve already tried to fix that one, butā¦

This reminds me of how annyoying I find the commas in the bug fix section for the patch notes.
All of them from the vr hotfix are fine, but these from the March patch are aahgh!
(why am i such a nerd?)

Thinking cap on
We fixed an issue in Mumbai, where the head of Agent 47 would clip through the glasses of the militia cook when wearing that disguise.
Skipped Leg Day
We solved an issue in Haven Island, where the legs of the snorkel instructor and Agent 47, when wearing that disguise, would not appear correctly.

For the comma thing, itās the āyetā that bothers me a bitā¦ I tried looking around for some ārulesā, and found this:
https://www.quora.com/Do-I-need-a-comma-before-yet-in-a-phrase-in-a-simple-yet-intense-manner
Soā¦ either āelegant yet simple purple coinā, or āelegant, yet simple, purple coinā, it would seem? Dunno! Again, not a native speaker!
As for the other one, I realize itās just a suggestion phrased as a rhetorical question (but thank you for trying to help!). I was just wondering if maybe some English buffs were particular about rhetorical questions such as that one still requiring a question mark.
Again, I donāt imagine those two points are a big deal at all anyway! Basically, it was just āhey, if Iām going to point out a typo that needs fixing in that description, I might as well try and make sure thereās nothing else in there that could potentially, mayyybe, be deemed somewhat less than ideal!ā

I saw this great video on YouTube today from the channel Captain Peach called Hitman is Quietly Dominating the Industry.
It makes you really appreciate IOI and how bad things could be with a live service game. It really is worth a watch.

If you enjoy it drop the guy a like, heās a small channel but the video is great

Hitman Woa being live service is a mixed bag. I wonāt say itās awful but good is also not a word I would use. This is a singleplayer game, so most of the live service elements feel tacked on.
I only skimmed the video, but when I saw the creator said Elusive Target Arcade is just a slightly altered version of actual Elusive Targets, I couldnāt take them seriously. Itās literally a mode built against the wishes of most fans, so ioi can pretend this game needs to be live service.

Compared to any other Live Service game I know, it does not have lootboxes, has no microtransactions, and the bits of FOMO that once plagued 2016 and 2 have generally been resolved and are incredibly downplayed. H3ās ET suits are mastery rewards now, and the actual time-limited stuff is surprisingly rare, and that is relegated to the Free Starter Pack as seasonal content.
Iād say itās pretty good in my books. Genuinely one of the best Live Services out there, and I donārt think thatās a controversial statement, considering a lot of other game like Skull and Bones and Payday 3 are repeatedly shooting themselves in the foot with shotguns. It is very refreshing to play a game that isnāt constantly trying to dangle toys in front of me for a limited time in an attempt to part with my cash.
And my only gripes right now are to do with offline mode needing a revamp (Oh yeah, so many live services donāt even have an offline mode!) and IOās edition monetization, which has little to do with the business model of being a live service, and more to do with IOās own self-sabotage of how to market the damn game and their PR team that goes to sleep every two weeks.
Even the DLCās that are meant to be DLCās are generally pretty cheap these days, which, when compared to a multiplayer game where one skin can cost four times as much and does not include themed items, Iād say thatās a pretty good deal.
Can you elaborate on why you feel the live service element feels tacked on?
No, itās not, and I donāt think anyone in the fanbase would say that. ETA is probably not what most players asked for, sure, I can see that, but against our wishes? Thatās a bit strong, no? That implies we knew ahead of time of what it was and that we actively hate the mode, which, far as I can tell, we donāt.
And ETA is content like anything else, Like the actual Elusives and the escalations and challenges, so I donāt think itās an excuse by IO to keep it a live service, especially since most of the ETAās were burned through almost two years ago, and people told them to stop as they kept being spammed.
I mean, thatās not inaccurate? Iām struggling to disagree with that summary tbh. And thatās a good thing in some respects, as it keeps the majority of the ETās replayable with minimal interference from optional objectives.
I donāt think ETA quite works as anything more than a remix mode for ETās, but that seems to be what IO was going for, not to mention somewhat preserving ETās. I donāt think it does well at the latter, but I canāt fault the former.
Also, not sure when this was added, but our purple tiddlywink has been added!

Iād say as a live service game, itās better than most examples I can think of, but itās faults, while fewer, stand out all the more for it.

Just realized the Quack Quack challenge and The Bandit FC batch are coming out tomorrow, which is a Monday. Nothing really wrong with that, itās just quite weird given the usual Thursday/Friday releases for stuff.
Get excited for the Egg Hunt Suit, the first new suit in 5 months!

Based on the leaks, its probably best not to get excited over this one.
