It’s a scale test, it’s literally supposed to have problems.

I don’t know what’s triggered about explaining what a scale test is.

I think it ended at 10am. I made the same mistake last week, thinking I'd got all weekend to dive in. Left it until Sunday. Closed.

I know. I was literally stating the problem I was having.

Got a game shortly after, and played a quick quest, solo-sloop.

It’s over but I’ll be surprised if it doesn’t have another test next weekend.

damn :( I wonder why they choose to end it so early as Sunday beyond 10am is surely the time people spend more time playing games on a weekend. I guess they're not ready to stress the game that much just yet.

Each time I keep thinking this time is going to be the last test and I'll not get to try the game. You have to commend Rare for doing a proper test and not the multiplayer demo weekend in disguise. Hopefully with all of this it will become the first game with no launch issues whatsoever

The window is so small because they are testing it, smaller time open means more players log into it at same time.

Feels good to be able to get a word in unlike tuesdays.

I just follow the podcasts and SoT Forum for the last year. It’s like you and Nintendo tat.

Must be.

In all seriousness though I just really enjoy this game, sailing alone to me is just the right amount of chill and doing other stuff on the waves.

The islands are fun but I’m surprised how much I enjoy just sailing. Of course I hope we have a regular weekly crew thing and the fact we can all seemlessly do both should be great.

I’m sorry I do go on about it but everyone has there favourite games and this is mine, and PUBG I guess. I’ve been hard nerding over this for a year. I reckon when people start leaving this game how ever long that’s is I’ll still be sailing.

That’s amazing, I presume they were gun powder kegs. Also that music is my favourite, I’d love a proper version to listen to.

Indeed, just view it full screen.

But nice to know you can chain explosives

I love how the Sniper Rifle has cracked glass instead of a crosshair, really fits in with the overall look and feel of the game.

It's also awesome to use.
