Capri Sun Tzu posted:There is wind, there is hoisting and lowering and angling multiple sales, anchors, storms, etc. That part of the game is handled very well and the way the ships buck and heave with the water is the best. Thanks! poo poo I want this game so bad. Gonna wait for release though.

Capri Sun Tzu posted:You might have just been watching streams where people avoided PVP. It's definitely there, if you encounter another ship in game it's completely up to you if you want to attack it in a sweet sea battle, sneak on board and steal the treasure/sabotage the ship, or lay in wait at a nearby outpost to ambush them when they try to cash in their chests. Well that sounds amazing. I am a bit nervous ubisoft is behind this but gently caress it, here's hoping it's good. I will wait for release if only because I have no free time.

Boarding a boat, killing the crew and loading it with explosive barrels is pretty good. Also if you crew on my ship you better know your proper nautical terms or else you’ll be tied to the mast as an example for the rest

Ehud posted:Here is another content related video about their live campaigns. This is super vague and doesn't really say anything other than "we're going to have live events that don't need to be downloaded," but nothing about what they could be. It's all terrible PR bullshit. How big can crews be and what's stopping larger crews from destroying smaller ones just because they have larger numbers?

It's all terrible PR bullshit. I agree it's vague. I'm just posting it to say that they do have a system in place to provide content that isn't static fetch quests. Crews are up to four. Smaller ship maneuvers are the only thing preventing you from getting wrecked.

Watched like 2 hours of a stream of this. Felt like I had seen everything the game has to offer. 60 bucks is a horrible price point for this poo poo.

It is a true statement that the demo we are playing is not worth 60 dollars. It is also a true statement that the demo we are playing is not the game that comes out in March. These are my bold opinions.

I was able to just update my existing technical alpha and it worked fine surprisingly. My Xbox ID is Das13D and ill be in the discord with the same name for some thieving this weekend. I'm really only playing this for the water effects but hopefully there's more to come since it looks like a nice game to build upon.s.i.r.e. posted:How big can crews be and what's stopping larger crews from destroying smaller ones just because they have larger numbers?

There are red explosive barrels you can find. Literally bring the poo poo onto someone's boat and shoot it. Preferably below deck.

I had to do that dumb cancel pre-order thing to get the beta to work. On the plus side I can now play the beta and my pre-order is already cancelled! Only played for a short time but it's really pretty, the sailing feels really good. I just sailed around and explored for a bit cause the adventure vendor was broke, I didn't find anything all that interesting or at least all the wrecks and islands I went to just had barrels of cannonballs and bananas.

Just ran into a crew of 4 as we unloaded 8 chests. Instead of killing us they played a jig and told us, "Always remember who ye friends are!"

I spent 30 minutes in the solo boat fighting another dude in a solo boat. I was kicking his butt, laying round after round into him I hand to of landed at least 10-12 shots and he would not sink. Eventually he crashed into an island and I jumped out were we fought with pistols/swords and he eventually killed me. The combat swords/pistol is kinda wonky, it doesn't feel very good. The ship combat is a lot of fun but I felt like putting that many rounds into him should have sunk him, at one point he had given up and was sitting still with no sails and I pulled up next to him unloading on him and he still wouldn't go down.

What're the consequences of your ship going under, I mean I guess your loot is available for others to steal, but what happens to you? Do you just wash ashore somewhere and wait for your boat to spawn back? Also, does anyone have a stream or video of starting the game off from the very beginning and crewing up with your friends?

Thats the other thing, you can get into a long protracted fight like I did and it was all for nothing. They should have some kinda bounty system, the more people you kill the higher the bounty on your head and people can hunt you down.

Ehud posted:It is a true statement that the demo we are playing is not worth 60 dollars. I have legit never seen a game change significantly between beta and release and is largely just early access marketing, hiding content during the beta is always code for "it isn't ready yet and it will not be bugtested by anyone before release, I would not go into this game expecting it to be massively expanded on within 2 months. That said, I like what I see and the water effects alone nearly sold me.

Regarding consequences for losing battles - right now it appears to just be loot, but losing loot is a bigger deal as you get further into the game. We started doing higher reputation quests tonight and one of them took almost two hours and involved 12 chests. We actually decided to stop at 8 chests and went back to port to sell before getting the final 4 because we were so paranoid about losing our loot.

we hauled in around 4k tonight. about 3500 of that was from just being pirates and killing/boarding others we'd found at sea. also, learned how to aim the cannon properly to kill the person at the helm.

If a hit isn't below the waterline or directly on a crew member it doesn't do poo poo.
