Test Release Notes - August 6th, 2010

[MacIronhawk]

Not as many bugs as before, but hopefully we'll be able to see the release of fishing by the end of next week, possibly on a friday, for open.

I wasn't aware of the lure bug, I haven't had problems with it, but I guess that's because I've only been casting a little bit and letting it sink all the way down so I can wait to catch a legendary fish.

And is anyone else besides me upset about the detail of the shrouded island, and all the other islands besides Padres? I didn't notice it before, but even though they added trees and buildings to islands, they all look... murky? And unclear? Before they were nice and smooth, and while sailing I used to take screenshots by islands because I thought they were beautiful.

Now, I can tell with the shrouded island that they're pointy, jagged, and the textures are extremely unclear. I remember making a thread about Padres looking awful, and I guess they fixed Padres. Padres looks amazing while sailing now, but none of the other islands do.

I wish they would take this into consideration, because how the islands look at sea affects what I think of the island when I dock. I don't want my first impretion of Ravens Cove to be some weird looking island.(even through the fog, you can tell it looks nothing like an actual island)
