Test Release Discussion - September 29, 2009

Would also like to see at least once, what happens if we let Jolly get to the mansion.

So would I Zep! The only way that's going to happen is if you get on at a quiet time and get everyone to agree not to fight....and there is actually an invasion. May just be day one kinks, but in the four hours I was in and out of test last night, there was only the one invasion.

I'm really curious how they're planning to play this out on open. Last night, the invasion was only on the "A" server on test. Are they going to hold the event on every server on open? or only a select few? May send in that question with one of the dozens of bug reports I have lined up to shoot off this morning.

Speaking of reports, anyone else seeing a completely messed up sea while sailing? Looked like I was sailing in a lava lamp of goo last night.

The water looked fine for me when at sea. I did see some texturing issues on the shoreline of Port Royal. It looked like the water texture was stuck there and the tide was going "under" it. Also I was on Driftwood and the water texture was freaking out, flashing in all sorts of colors.

I am also having some issues with the water. Most noticeable when at Cuba.

The Invasion, while a little laggy for my laptop, was just great! The most fun I've had on Pirates in a long time.
