Guide for the new Test pirates?

[Poison elf]

Everyone has their own different little methods.

A patch like this is obviously been the focus mainly on a new Port Royal. Tendency for anyone is to go see what is new. Doing this in itself can have several tests while you do something as simple as looking at the new feature. Doors exit and enter, signs, black out shops, wall glitch, lag, movement, weapon draw, weapon animation etc.

Its always good to see what others are finding I think. This can help find out if its effecting you, or maybe certain computer specific issues. One bug report on a black out shop, likely is not to get attention like 100's that sailing doesn't work.

Here are some things I saw this morning still in existence, some serious, while others may be questionable.

Sailing unlike previous updates for me, is now getting cuts and chops.

Character turning in a circle is showing skip scenes.

Ship tracking in compass no longer tracks ships. ( they may want it this way now) Looking forward at a ship is not turning compass that direction. This makes it confusing seeing a ship coming at ya from behind side, and hard to know where it is in relation to you actually.

Bigger one is joining a crew and going out on a svs ship, and docking. After doing this you can't get back in on your ship in svs on that side, or operate ship if you choose other side.

Guild is still showing now and then guild members as pirate guild (something), though now it appears the goto button is working.

Certain players are having many crash issues. Why, what windows, machine specs etc.

If you have a group of friends test crews on big ship lag issues/svs.

If you are unsure and getting things others are not, many times its initial update. I would recommend after downloading a patch to log back off and reboot. There has been a number of initial issues cleared up after getting settled down in the new patches.
