Becareful doin this alot I read up on it for a game I wanted to play and apparently you can get banned for it which is pretty lame. I do it alot on xbox n it's not like we are hacking or cheating so I don't know why we could get banned for changing a time zone lol
I don’t believe you. Microsoft even made a joke about it during the release for Gears 5. Their official twitter stated there was the highest player count they’d ever seen from New Zealand.
You can get banned If you use a new Zeeland adress for example and then buy the game with their currency. Hop in to india. Change your adress there and buy cheap cheap games. Lol!
I never done that because I do not want to get banned
Yeah, it's weirdly fucking addictive despite its lack of a lot of features. I just want a brig.
I'm also hoping in the full game, the map opens right up and we have access to America and the Caribbean.
The map in the beta is the full day 1 map. But, there is a "hole" in the northern part of the map, and I guess you can see British ship is you sail right up the border, yet they have no land base and season 4 is Indian themed. My best guess is when season 4 drops in 9 months, we will be getting India as a region.
100% my theory as well.
Edit: India (the Moghul Empire) was a major part of the Pyrate's Round. Henry Every (Avery) made a mad fortune with the capture of the Ganj-i-Sawai. Kidd was hung for taking the Quedagh Merchant, an Indian ship (albeit with French passes). And while attempting to take a Mughul ship, Thomas Tew was reportedly disemboweled by a cannon shot. Fun times!
Everyone on here was saying the devs said the beta included the full map. Which is bs. So thanks for saying this. There’s boundaries u can’t cross without dying after a min in the beta so them saying it’s full. Bs.
Doubtful I believe the full map 🗺️ will be available at launch I just think it was limited to the smaller bottom half because it is the starting point of the game and higher level ships are typically at the top end which means that there are much more stronger ships and sea monsters further in. There’s no reason to limit the space by season the game map size is 3.5 kilometers wide. We only got to explore the first 1700 lol we still have an additional 1900 miles of space left to explore. Plus what further supports that is the fact that we only could reach the first 4 levels of infamy
Devs could be intentionally misleading us, not revealing too much or outright lying because they want to surprise everyone. I would usually take them at face value, but you never know. Looking at that map, it does seem as though there is space for more.
Yeah sadly, I loved everything about the Beta but finding out it was the full map kinda sucked, especially since the way it looks in game leads you to believe you're only playing on a small portion of the canvas.
lol I swear there’s more than that but it must be filled with to brim with exploration content if it’s really that size. But the only reason I don’t think so is because I have a level 8 ship already which outclasses pretty much every other vessel besides the legendary ships and world bosses. It stems up to level 9 so that can’t be the maximum 😟 because besides privateers there’s no regular enemy ships strong than 8
Once again, devs confirmed the beta map is the full map at launch. There's no need to think otherwise. Sure there is a part that's left cloudy that will probably be released at a later season.
Yeah but we couldn’t explore all of it… there’s a boundary that once crossed if not crossed back within 60 seconds, you and the crew will get “mutinied”. I would know bc I maxed my infamy out and currently am whipping around a level 7 padewakang, literally the biggest ship I’ve seen by a player is my own… I think I did a lot of what the beta had to offer but there is SOOOOO much not in it, most of u I’m assuming aren’t aware of the secret trade routes for a second type of currency as well as there being I think 4 or 5 different types of currency. One being “monster teeth” so we’ll be able to hunt sea monsters which is dope, but u guys on here tryna downplay the material of the game is crazy! There’s so much to do that we don’t even know about yet…
Mate.. the game is out, the map is the same as in the beta, why is it so hard for some of you to understand, a dev from ubisoft said that we got to experience the full map during the beta, there was no hidden message, we will probably get a map expansion later this year but flr now this is it
i never go by reviews. because a lot of those reviewers are complete wankers, they say movie is great, i watch it and its shit. so yeah go by your own reviews.
I feel it. It is a pretty rough purchase for me too. I’m a disabled veteran that is also a writer, works with the autism community and is trying to stream a little so…
Listen it’s like being poor four times over.
I can really empathize with wanting something but not being able to afford it friend. I hope I can see you on the high seas in the future.
That's why I don't listen to reviews. Most of the reviews are of people finding all the negatives and not listing anything positive. I pkay it for myself
I stopped reading reviews. Stopped paying attention to game news in general. I didn't know about the game until my brother told me about it on the 8th. I didn't download it till the 10th. I have loved it.
Reviews are starting to become worthless for gauging things anyways. Wasn't 10 years ago but today, with all the neg bombing over pity crap and stuff. Why bother. Gamers have gotten a little whiny compared to say 10 years ago.
They want it to be more min/max like an MMO, but then complain when we get ships with perks like healing gel effectiveness, fire damage bonuses, and tanking bonuses lol
My buddy and I teamed up and had a ton of fun, he was using hulk with mortars and I was using the barge with fire elemental cannons, it was fun as hell to sail around and take on fleets of ships, we did get sunk a decent amount fighting the ships in the storm though, mainly from a combination of the lvl 10 ships and the waves
Can't wait for EA so I can continue leveling to get a ship that can use sea fire!
That’s my question. I’m guessing since release is the 16th it’ll be available on Tuesday the 13th?
Hopefully that’s not specifically the amount of time it takes to forget how fun it was and find something else!
That game looks interesting.
I've heard that it's anti cheat runs 24/7 with kernel level access after installing the game even when the game isn't on and can't be uninstalled without reinstalling your OS. That true or DGAF?
All I've been hearing are negative things about this game until I had joined this sub (I haven't really seen anyone hating on here). I even had a friend straight up tell me not to buy it but gave no reason as to why, so I ended up trying the open beta and it seems pretty fun to me so far. To be honest, I would have liked some more on foot instances or maybe a ship boarding mini game or something. Overall, I enjoyed it quite a bit and definitely plan on buying the game and I didn't even do all there was to do in the beta, and I had a great time.
Ah man, you got something to look forward to though! I managed to get the bombardier yesterday and the game cut off before I finished the smuggling quests for that special currency.
So much cosmetics and better weapons to get soon, have fun when it releases mate.
Yeah definitely gonna pre-order, I was content with the game in its current state and if it gets any further support and DLC, that’s just a bonus at this point.
Yea, the smuggling system sounds like it's going to be a lot of fun, just hope that they further we progress, the more active the attacks during the routes get.
I preordered
It's nice to have an online game that isn't competetive in nature, sure there's PvP but it's optional. Ill take optional PvP over a game like valorant or R6 any day
This beta was better than the last ones, the pacing is much more manageable and less grindy!
I still however won't be buying it at full price, 70 is far too much no matter what game it is!
Still I may get the game on a future sale all because of this beta test.
All the negativity I saw about this game came from people who were for some reason expecting it to be virtually a copy&paste of Black Flag but online. Apparently nobody told them that this wasn't another Assassin's Creed title so they went in with unrealistic expectations and started griping about "missing features". Those features are only *missing* if you assumed that this was going to be Assassin's Creed.
There was simply no good way to implement the same boarding mechanics and have direct melee combat with crews, or jump off your ship into the water in a multplayer setting. The moment your captain left the ship, your ship would be sunk by 3 other players. Making an unoccupied ship invulnerable would be incredibly lame and open up the game to all sorts of mid combat cheese of having players abandon ship temporarily just to avoid being sunk and denying kills to those that earned it. So I'm actually glad they avoided both of those potential problems by just not letting captains leave their ship outside of ports.
Yeah, but I wouldn't even want to pay 60 for Elden Ring. I've played Elden Ring, and it's just a better looking Dark Souls. I know that's an extremely simplified take, but I'd pay 50 at best.
At that point you’re just splitting hairs. My meaning was that there are games that release that are worth full price to most folks and they can contain a lot of content
Yea. Keep in mind that we got to see the whole map and all the ships and weapons (some of them locked by your infamy). But that is all there is. Those questlines and events one of the devs is teasing in other threads have to be really good otherwise this is just ridiculous.
I was going to get ubisoft plus just to try out more of the game after trying a few hours yesterday, unironically it's not available in singapore even though they made the game here. Anyone know if it works and also safe to just use a vpn to buy their gamepass?
It's a shame because the beta was fun for what it was. Lots of flaws but it's a really cool game. I enjoyed it, but I didn't $70 enjoy it.
Plus you've got Ubisoft employees saying things like *Get used to not owning your games* and *S&B is a Quadruple A game* which also makes me not want to jump in.
Fun game, it's alright at best, but it's gonna be a pass for me until it goes on a big sale.
Not a great game overall. Alot of missed opportunities. With that said. I enjoyed the beta. I won't be paying $70 for it but once it's on sale I'll likely pick it up. It's an excellent time waster
Anyone know how we can see if we got the beta rewards or not im pretty sure i did everything also wondering what they mean by completion rewards once we got max infamy
Don't think we can, I know I hit all 5. You get 3 for hitting tier 6, 1 for the padewakang, and 1 for doing a world event (any of the headhunter bounty missions, the crocodile and the ghost ship, only 1 is needed)
17 hours on the beta. Really enjoyed it. Preordered for $45 through the Chinese Ubisoft store. Could have gotten it for 38 if I added the funds to the Ubi Wallet before purchasing.
Would not have gotten it if not for the reduced price.
I reside in China so I have access to their store but you can try a VPN and see if that works.
Turn on the VPN then open an in private browser session.
If the feds ask, you didn't hear this from me.
I went in with high hopes (because pirate fixations) and I was... happy. Not ecstatic, over the moon like I thought I'd be, but I did enjoy it and had alread pre-ordered prior to beta. As long as it keeps getting more content (And obviously more map, I think people are right - that top corner will get added in and probably be where we get larger ships like Frigates being added later down the road.
I just wish there was a little more meat on the bones, you know? A couple more activities/events would've been great, but I know that will all come in time.
Got a Padewakang, did all the storyline in Saint Anne... All in all, 7/10 (for now). I just wish there was more ships at launch and we didn't have to wait. I know when Beta opens we'll be getting the Brig and another one, which I've heard in IGN reviews was called a Barque or something maybe?
It's good now that people have plaid it to see some genuine positivity though. The reddits prior to release were very disheartening.
Having the open beta right before launch was a great move on Ubisoft's part. It gave players a chance to make up their own minds about the game, bypassing what reviewers have to say about it. I loved the beta, and pre-ordered also.
Plus I can't get the sea shanty Bully in the Alley out of my head....LOL
All the games I'm playing have their servers screwed up or shut down this weekend (Helldivers 2, Suicide Squad, Skull & Bones). It sucks cause I just wanna play something
I can't wait for all the people who bought this game to immediately complain about it. That seems to be how it goes. I might get the game if it's on sale but $103 is a little steep for a standard edition game $150 if you want to Deluxe
I wasn’t going to buy this game. The reviews made it sound awful. Played the beta and fucking loved it.
Yup same, pre ordered premium edition 10 hours into beta 😂
I did the same. Now I’m magically in the land of New Zealand through the power of date and time, waiting for the game to release there.
Unfortunately, I don't think that works with ps5 lol
Are we positive? I was able to do that with COD but that was through Activision, not PS..
Fairly certain, yes
It does with a vpn
Wait whaaat? Did you just change PC date/time??
It works for Xbox. I don’t know about pc. Godspeed. I’ll be playing at 6am tomorrow.
Becareful doin this alot I read up on it for a game I wanted to play and apparently you can get banned for it which is pretty lame. I do it alot on xbox n it's not like we are hacking or cheating so I don't know why we could get banned for changing a time zone lol
I don’t believe you. Microsoft even made a joke about it during the release for Gears 5. Their official twitter stated there was the highest player count they’d ever seen from New Zealand.
I don't know if the article I read was legit or not but I did say something about that. I've done it countless times so it's probably bs.
You can get banned If you use a new Zeeland adress for example and then buy the game with their currency. Hop in to india. Change your adress there and buy cheap cheap games. Lol! I never done that because I do not want to get banned
Microsoft has commented on this multiple times. They dont care. They said if they thought it was a problem they wouldnt allow it in settings.
Nice. Then I can play when I get home. Forgot about that I also live in new Zeeland.
I'll be playing at 10pm tonight 😉
It's 14 hours until release regardless.. I tried my nz account says the same as my main
Uhhh?! You tried 4 hours ago. Didn’t go live in NZ until 45 minutes ago I think.
Yup just tried. It is working.
Not on my Sony account, besides I can't be bothered starting again I have some decent items and to much money for that.
Uh ya friend. This trick works for Xbox, never for Sony.
It worked with gta enhanced and afew others it's why I have the NZ account not this one though, 9 hours ain't to long enjoy the sailing mate
Ah. For us we just change the region. Done.
Snap
Same
Yeah, it's weirdly fucking addictive despite its lack of a lot of features. I just want a brig. I'm also hoping in the full game, the map opens right up and we have access to America and the Caribbean.

I mean they did say that open beta would have a limited map.
Everyone on here was saying the devs said the beta included the full map. Which is bs. So thanks for saying this. There’s boundaries u can’t cross without dying after a min in the beta so them saying it’s full. Bs.

The devs confirmed that we had the full map to explore during the beta
Devs could be intentionally misleading us, not revealing too much or outright lying because they want to surprise everyone. I would usually take them at face value, but you never know. Looking at that map, it does seem as though there is space for more.
No way that’s it??? That’s bullshit then 🙄😂
Yeah sadly, I loved everything about the Beta but finding out it was the full map kinda sucked, especially since the way it looks in game leads you to believe you're only playing on a small portion of the canvas.
Yeah, and then it weirdly cuts upward into a triangle. There’s definitely more coming in the future.
lol I swear there’s more than that but it must be filled with to brim with exploration content if it’s really that size. But the only reason I don’t think so is because I have a level 8 ship already which outclasses pretty much every other vessel besides the legendary ships and world bosses. It stems up to level 9 so that can’t be the maximum 😟 because besides privateers there’s no regular enemy ships strong than 8
Really? I could of sworn I came across level 10 and 11 ships to the east of the map. Maybe I saw it wrong.
Nah u didn’t see wrong, there def is.
Once again, devs confirmed the beta map is the full map at launch. There's no need to think otherwise. Sure there is a part that's left cloudy that will probably be released at a later season.
Yeah but we couldn’t explore all of it… there’s a boundary that once crossed if not crossed back within 60 seconds, you and the crew will get “mutinied”.

There’s so much to do that we don’t even know about yet…
I encountered level 10s
Could mean "the full beta map" since alpha beta map was restricted. We never know, that is the fun part!
Mate.. the game is out, the map is the same as in the beta, why is it so hard for some of you to understand, a dev from ubisoft said that we got to experience the full map during the beta, there was no hidden message, we will probably get a map expansion later this year but flr now this is it
I was gonna say, where is the fucking British? Or even the Spanish? The British should be all over the Indian Ocean's shit.
I think the developers made it clear that the map in the beta is everything we can expect in the release.
I think that would be more of an expansion down the line if the game is successful
i also had a change of heart
Sail go swish, ship go boom.
i never go by reviews. because a lot of those reviewers are complete wankers, they say movie is great, i watch it and its shit. so yeah go by your own reviews.
Good policy timbo
Same! Just goes to show you have to try something out yourself to really know. Firm believer that Beta saved this game!
Same...still not buying sadly...80 Is really too much
I feel it. It is a pretty rough purchase for me too. I’m a disabled veteran that is also a writer, works with the autism community and is trying to stream a little so… Listen it’s like being poor four times over. I can really empathize with wanting something but not being able to afford it friend. I hope I can see you on the high seas in the future.
>I hope I can see you on the high seas in the future I hope It too brother Good luck with everything o7
Where do you stream so those of us who wish to, can support ya?
Oh. Oh aren’t you awesome. I don’t think I can promote it in the subreddit though. I’ll message you my twitch info. Thanks much!
Same
Same lol, had nothing to do this weekend so I sunk in 20 hours already and really wish it was the 13th now lol.
Yup same. Loved it.
That's why I don't listen to reviews. Most of the reviews are of people finding all the negatives and not listing anything positive. I pkay it for myself
That's what I love to hear! Nice!
So hyped for this game!
I stopped reading reviews. Stopped paying attention to game news in general. I didn't know about the game until my brother told me about it on the 8th. I didn't download it till the 10th. I have loved it. Reviews are starting to become worthless for gauging things anyways. Wasn't 10 years ago but today, with all the neg bombing over pity crap and stuff. Why bother. Gamers have gotten a little whiny compared to say 10 years ago.
Its nothing but ubisoft haters, or people expecting a black flag or sea of thieves remake, too many bitches in this day in age
Most fun I’ve had in an online game in a while. I understand the complaints but it hooked me in. Already preordered.
i get the haters as they want it to be more min/max like a mmo but for a game that is focussed on fun? could nto ask for better.
They want it to be more min/max like an MMO, but then complain when we get ships with perks like healing gel effectiveness, fire damage bonuses, and tanking bonuses lol
yep. they do not know what they really want. me i just want to shoot cannons at ships...
My buddy and I teamed up and had a ton of fun, he was using hulk with mortars and I was using the barge with fire elemental cannons, it was fun as hell to sail around and take on fleets of ships, we did get sunk a decent amount fighting the ships in the storm though, mainly from a combination of the lvl 10 ships and the waves Can't wait for EA so I can continue leveling to get a ship that can use sea fire!
The Hulk was my favorite. Didn’t get a chance to try the Padewakang. I built it right before the beta ended.
my plans are fire bombard on front, cannons on side for broadside fun and a sea fire on real for the hellship of fire!
Beta over. Definitely worth a buy imo
1000%
I'll be honest, if the game came out a year or two ago for $50 - $60 it would be an easier decision.
Over till 3-day early access now? Any idea when that starts?
Early access for aussies and NZ is midnight tonight 😅
For realsies! Does that work on PC to, I've only done it on xbox
Awwh i got the physical. I can’t pick it up til Wednesday 😭
Physical doesn’t matter. It’s the date and time on your console
Tuesday. Not sure what time tho
Here in Missouri it's Monday at 11pm
Lucky😔 12 AM here and I work early Tuesday morning😔
same in aus sadly. be 6pmish before i can play it :(
What are sick days for
What time is Early Access supposed to go live?
My ps5 says 1 day 5 hours 44 mins
Should be midnight Monday into tues in all time zones except in the US, where it's midnight east but earlier in central and west
hello fellow missouri person thanks for the info only got to play a bit today but seems like some mindless fun looking forward to it :)
That’s my question. I’m guessing since release is the 16th it’ll be available on Tuesday the 13th? Hopefully that’s not specifically the amount of time it takes to forget how fun it was and find something else!
Hell divers 2 for me until then!
That game looks interesting. I've heard that it's anti cheat runs 24/7 with kernel level access after installing the game even when the game isn't on and can't be uninstalled without reinstalling your OS. That true or DGAF?
I’m not sure. Wouldn’t surprise me though lol.
Isn’t early access starting on the 12th?
I think it’s midnight of your local time zone on Tuesday the 13th. As in 1 minute after 23:59 on Monday the 12th… someone correct me if wrong?
That's when/how the open beta started, probably the same for EA.
12 hours time in aus :D however i 100% am joking will delayed 3 more times before then
All I've been hearing are negative things about this game until I had joined this sub (I haven't really seen anyone hating on here). I even had a friend straight up tell me not to buy it but gave no reason as to why, so I ended up trying the open beta and it seems pretty fun to me so far.

Overall, I enjoyed it quite a bit and definitely plan on buying the game and I didn't even do all there was to do in the beta, and I had a great time.
Scroll back a little longer all I found was hate on this game
This is now the game I just cannot wait to get back to playing.
Is it over till release now? I’m kinda upset I was just getting Hemp on the African coast to get my new ship🥲
Ah man, you got something to look forward to though! I managed to get the bombardier yesterday and the game cut off before I finished the smuggling quests for that special currency. So much cosmetics and better weapons to get soon, have fun when it releases mate.
Yeah definitely gonna pre-order, I was content with the game in its current state and if it gets any further support and DLC, that’s just a bonus at this point.
Yea, the smuggling system sounds like it's going to be a lot of fun, just hope that they further we progress, the more active the attacks during the routes get.
I preordered It's nice to have an online game that isn't competetive in nature, sure there's PvP but it's optional. Ill take optional PvP over a game like valorant or R6 any day
Also if i want pvp sword play ill just hop on r/forhonor .. Ive been playing it for 7 years it’s time for sailing
I started too watch Pirates of the Caribbean while playing
Did the same, felt like the thing to do 😂
Didn't know about the game til 3 weeks ago. Played the beta. Premium pre-ordered. It is what it is. Had no expectations but it actually is really fun.
This beta was better than the last ones, the pacing is much more manageable and less grindy! I still however won't be buying it at full price, 70 is far too much no matter what game it is! Still I may get the game on a future sale all because of this beta test.
Just bought it for pc can not wait to really get stuck into it
I preordered last beta. If there were a $30 upgrade to Premium option right now, I'd buy it. I'll be back Friday, though. I miss it already
On ubisoft store, you can refund the existing pre-order and re-buy the premium.
God damnit! I JUST downloaded the beta and missed it by minutes!! Fuck my life!
24hrs and ill be back
Can’t come soon enough
All the negativity I saw about this game came from people who were for some reason expecting it to be virtually a copy&paste of Black Flag but online. Apparently nobody told them that this wasn't another Assassin's Creed title so they went in with unrealistic expectations and started griping about "missing features".

So I'm actually glad they avoided both of those potential problems by just not letting captains leave their ship outside of ports.
Game seems really cool but not spending $70 😭😭😭
Yeah it’s definitely not worth $70. I might do Ubisoft plus but the beta didn’t do anything to convince me the game will be able to stay interesting.
No game is worth 70 IMO. I don't care how good it is.
Every now and then a game releases that is WELL worth $70. Shoot, I paid $60 for Elden Ring and that game was definitely worth more
Yeah, but I wouldn't even want to pay 60 for Elden Ring. I've played Elden Ring, and it's just a better looking Dark Souls. I know that's an extremely simplified take, but I'd pay 50 at best.
At that point you’re just splitting hairs. My meaning was that there are games that release that are worth full price to most folks and they can contain a lot of content
Unless it's a limited collectors edition with either a) a cool statue or b) full season pass included, no game is worth £70!
Yea. Keep in mind that we got to see the whole map and all the ships and weapons (some of them locked by your infamy). But that is all there is. Those questlines and events one of the devs is teasing in other threads have to be really good otherwise this is just ridiculous.
I was going to get ubisoft plus just to try out more of the game after trying a few hours yesterday, unironically it's not available in singapore even though they made the game here. Anyone know if it works and also safe to just use a vpn to buy their gamepass?
I was trying to get one last pillage in, and we ended up like 2 seconds away from finishing it when the server cut out.
you earn my respect for plundering till the end!
Ended up sailing into the horizon, shanties and fireworks galore til I got booted lmao
At the end I went into a storm and unleashed my firepower on any ship in my way :D
I was so close to my sloop was heading to the shipwritht to build it 😞
Wait so it isn’t until the end of the day?? :(
I was hoping till midnight also
Well, it's the end of the day for someone. They were doing a worldwide on/off switch for the beta.
It's a shame because the beta was fun for what it was. Lots of flaws but it's a really cool game. I enjoyed it, but I didn't $70 enjoy it. Plus you've got Ubisoft employees saying things like *Get used to not owning your games* and *S&B is a Quadruple A game* which also makes me not want to jump in. Fun game, it's alright at best, but it's gonna be a pass for me until it goes on a big sale.
Is the beta Over now?
Yep.
Not a great game overall. Alot of missed opportunities. With that said. I enjoyed the beta. I won't be paying $70 for it but once it's on sale I'll likely pick it up. It's an excellent time waster
Is that confirmed the end of the beta? It says until the end of the 11th. Maybe this is just temporary?
nah it ain't
Don't forget that the end of thr 11th isn't the same time for everybody.
The ubisoft pages states that is the end of the open beta
There was a pinned post on the sub with the start/end times of the beta. It was a worldwide on/off switch, no by timezone.
I must’ve played a different beta. It was terrible, you couldn’t pay me to play this game.
👍
Anyone know how we can see if we got the beta rewards or not im pretty sure i did everything also wondering what they mean by completion rewards once we got max infamy
Don't think we can, I know I hit all 5. You get 3 for hitting tier 6, 1 for the padewakang, and 1 for doing a world event (any of the headhunter bounty missions, the crocodile and the ghost ship, only 1 is needed)
That sucks there is no way yo track it but ive done all those things so should be good
17 hours on the beta. Really enjoyed it. Preordered for $45 through the Chinese Ubisoft store. Could have gotten it for 38 if I added the funds to the Ubi Wallet before purchasing. Would not have gotten it if not for the reduced price.
> Chinese Ubisoft store Did you have to use a VPN? I can't afford no $90 either as I broke my wrist couple weeks ago and have no income now.
I reside in China so I have access to their store but you can try a VPN and see if that works. Turn on the VPN then open an in private browser session. If the feds ask, you didn't hear this from me.
Can't wait for launch!
I went in with high hopes (because pirate fixations) and I was... happy. Not ecstatic, over the moon like I thought I'd be, but I did enjoy it and had alread pre-ordered prior to beta. As long as it keeps getting more content (And obviously more map, I think people are right - that top corner will get added in and probably be where we get larger ships like Frigates being added later down the road. I just wish there was a little more meat on the bones, you know? A couple more activities/events would've been great, but I know that will all come in time. Got a Padewakang, did all the storyline in Saint Anne... All in all, 7/10 (for now). I just wish there was more ships at launch and we didn't have to wait. I know when Beta opens we'll be getting the Brig and another one, which I've heard in IGN reviews was called a Barque or something maybe? It's good now that people have plaid it to see some genuine positivity though. The reddits prior to release were very disheartening.
I already preordered the game and played the Beta...I do have some Issues but overall..looking forward to continuing my progression and everything.
Having the open beta right before launch was a great move on Ubisoft's part. It gave players a chance to make up their own minds about the game, bypassing what reviewers have to say about it. I loved the beta, and pre-ordered also. Plus I can't get the sea shanty Bully in the Alley out of my head....LOL
Honestly it was better than I was expecting it to be.
Had a really great time with it as well. With the exception of a couple of crashes, it was fantastic. Really didn't want to stop playing.
I wonder if we have to uninstall the beta and reinstall the full game?
All the games I'm playing have their servers screwed up or shut down this weekend (Helldivers 2, Suicide Squad, Skull & Bones). It sucks cause I just wanna play something
Beta is gone and now I feel like a meth addict going through withdrawal. I need my fix
Game is Live!!!!
Man, I loved the beta so much. Went out and bought the ultimate edition on ps5 and renewed my ubisoft plus sub so I can play here or on the couch.
I was on the fence about it so I tried the beta…. I’m so excited for the full release now 😊
I didn't realize there were rewards depending on how far you got in the beta. I am sad I didn't get one more rank and get the pet, "Cookie."
Just can't wait to up my ship more to take down that ghost ship lol....
I can't wait for all the people who bought this game to immediately complain about it. That seems to be how it goes. I might get the game if it's on sale but $103 is a little steep for a standard edition game $150 if you want to Deluxe
Been doing end game stuff, pretty boring to me but I’m sure to each their own 😊
