Ubisoft has done a big frowny face at Assassin’s Creed Odyssey players who’ve been cheekily – if cunningly – building levels in the recently added Story Creator mode to rapidly farm XP.
Story Creator mode, which launched in June, is a remarkably robust web-based tool enabling Odyssey owners to create new quests – including branching dialogue sequences, missions, and win conditions – that can be browsed and experienced by players on all platforms.
However, while some players have been using to the tool as Ubisoft intended, to create exotic, swashbuckling new adventures for Casandra and Alexios, others have been gaming the system to create quick-fire, challenge-free missions that positively shower players in XP, as a means to rapidly farm experience and level up as quickly as possible. The increasing prevalence of these mission has, reasonably, caused something of a kerfuffle among the fanbase.
