Not for new players. I wrote it somewhere else here in the forum a while ago. Everytime, I see someone playing the game for the first time on stream, they are completely overwhelmed by the freedom, the game gives you. And that brings them into a lot of situations, where they are spotted doing something illegal.
The mission may take you by the hand, but if you are not familiar with the mechanics of the game, that doesn’t help much at all. The game leads you to the target, but you still have to eliminate him yourself, with bodyguards and alot of other people around all the time.
tbh my first thought about the completion rate dropping is that some of the experienced players have finally moved on from the game since there isn’t much new stuff coming anymore. Also because The Undying has been activated three times in the last 14 months so those that did care previously probably don’t as much anymore.
With only 44% of people completing the mission, I guess Mark Faba really is The Undying!
I still wish that IO would share more facts for other non celebrity ETs, I’d love to see what their completion rate is and what were the common and least common kill methods for them. Which mission has the lowest completion rate and the lowest Silent Assassin rate? How about the Suit Only and SASO rates? What percentage of players killed The Liability with a method other than the disco ball? How many people eliminated The Censor wearing the Arkian robes? Which mission has the highest usage of the Ancestral Fountain Pen on a target?
There were some requests for this recently in The Fixer thread (including from me). But we were ignored.
But yeah, there’s a few people keen for more stats. Unfortunately, standard ETs aren’t linked to a paid DLC that the stats vaguely promote so IO doesn’t see a need for it.
If the stats were around 44% for mission completion, I’d bet the mission completion for the Fixer might have only been less than 25% and even less with SA too! Another missed opportunity for them to rework the mission in my opinion. Many of us and myself included did offer solutions to keep the mission friendlier to the new players influx!
