Anyone else get an e mail from Ms. Rossi of smartpointresearch.com about the above topic? Supposed to happen on Friday 26th, and take approximately one hour. I'm guessing they got my e mail address from Ubisoft/Uplay. Not sure what they want--maybe fan input for Far Cry 5?

Here's the info if you weren't contacted:

Hello Flanker1Six!

We would like to thank you for being an active member of the Far Cry community! To improve our participation with fans and gather feedback on what has been done thus far, the Far Cry team needs your input. We would like to know your thoughts, needs and expectations in regards to Far Cry activities and community events. Ultimately, we want to understand what it means to you to be a member of the Far Cry community.

We are organizing an online discussion set to take place on Friday August 26th and Saturday August 27th. This involves a commitment of one hour per day, at the time most convenient for you. You'll also have the rest of the weekend to complete your answers and peek at the other community members’ contributions. You can provide your feedback leveraging text, images or video.

For your help with this initiative, you can earn physical Far Cry rewards totaling up to $100 in value. The number and value of the rewards you will win depends on the completion of each task you will be assigned. The premium prizes reserved for top contributors include a one-of-a-kind 3D print figurine of Ull of the Udam tribe and/or one of the 10 Collector’s Edition of Far Cry Primal.

Please let us know if you are in or out. If you are interested and selected to participate we will send you further details on how to proceed.

Many thanks!

Looks Ubisoft hired an external research company. They are from Canada, so that fits. I checked my e-mail waste basket, but had no mail from them, so I assume they took their data from the UBI forums, which seems logical.

I've… seen things you people wouldn't believe… Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched c-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those… moments… will be lost in time, like tears… in… rain.

I'm interested in knowing what this is about. Perhaps they're actually gathering community wishes for a next product, perhaps it's just a silly online poll with multiple choice questions?

If you get the chance, try to recommend them doing a proper Far Cry *Sigma* (once codename for Primal), where sigma actually stands for "the sum of it all". Having Far Cry Primal along with all content of the previous Far Cry games (textures, models, objects, gamemodes, editor) and the ability to create one's own mod/dlc would be really cool imo. Fino's getting there slowly with his editormod, but building maps larger than the editor allows & with custom quests and scripting/events would be very cool.

Find my latest Far Cry 5 XML/modding tools&projects at http://steve.farcry.eu. Bring maps across to other platforms, see http://swapper.farcry.info!

Perhaps it's already been assumed, but to be clear - a NDA had to be signed. This surprised me a bit, but went ahead anyway, in order to see what it's all about.

BTW didn't do it for the possible "rewards" either ...
