As a tester...

  • I have to say, I expected this.

    Fully.

    Even though I had my hopes, this was to be expected...

    Keep burning the midnight oil, Rare. When it works, it works splendidly.

  • This is on par with my expectations, unfortunately. The bar was set really low between each beta or alpha test. Not too many things changed that were mind blowing. The game is fun, but not overly complex and certainly not as grandiose as the design team would like. I just am more disappointed that this is a retail version.

  • with how little content there is it feels more like an early access game. the population is going to drop massively and fast. they better add content quick or this game will be dead within 3 weeks. they have a solid foundation so now they need to build on it. more pve would be a good start, especially AI ships to fight

    Yeah my other tester group has been discussing that too. For a game with so little content, it could of and should of had more things to do or places to go in the retail final version. The map was stated to be 4 times the size of the beta. What happened to that plan?

  • @mexicated Greed, laziness, etc.

  • Aye, I expected the over popularity to force servers to work overtime causing Rare to Struggle, Though to be fair, It has happened with most big titles to it's to be expected.

    @mexicated Greed, laziness, etc.

    Yes and no. Probably. I don't have many excuses for a game that looks nearly identical to its Alpha test. This might be Tom Clancy's The Sea of Thieves.

  • @mexicated yeah the map seems quite small but i don't really see that as a major issue atm. i knew early on content was an issue but everyone kept saying "it's only beta" and "the full game will have more" yet the content has been pretty much exactly the same since the first test. sure it's fun but it gets old extremely fast. i've only played a couple hours and already found myself getting bored

  • @mexicated yeah, The content is very disappointing. Like i feel weird at how disappointed I am about this game. Updates are nice, but the game was launched as a full game and should contain such.

  • @Zeo very nicely said. Really hope people can give things a chance so that when stability and items issues are working correctly again that folks can see how great the game is and how brilliant the community is here.

  • @mexicated no, the r*****s that datamined thought that but they were wrong. Rare said nothing about the size of the map. Not intending to sound rude if i did.

  • @balbasuar

    I didn't take offense. The map size doesn't make a difference to me personally as long there are actual ships in it. I sailed early this morning and saw one other ship in over 2 hours.
