    I got the e-mail but didn't "confirm". Jumping through hoops for what should be a simple process is getting old.

    damn i remember the last technical test was beyond rough, hopefully the game has a direction now because it was a complete shit show.

    not really interested in this game, but I like ubisoft games so I would try it if there is an open beta

    I'm very curious on how they've improved the game since the last playtest, or if they've improved it at all. For example, I really hope they have completely changed that atrocious UI.

    From what I've got so far this game is less an AC Black Flag but instead more of a World of Tanks with pirates, which is not necessarily a bad thing as long as they flesh out everything else.

    Guess we'll see it in the upcoming streams soon.

    Do we have to pay to join these yet, surely studios can rake some money in that way? ;)

    Bugger off you shill, you probably got paid 110 bucks for a whole month and that is exactly why you have to scam people on these types of forums. If you really did get paid that amount you would not be on here trying to scam people. You literally added a few zeros to your payroll.

    Dang, I damn near forgot about this game. Oh well, see what happens when shyte takes forever and a day to come to fruition? I'll more than likely wait until it hits the 50% off bin at Steam or Epic before deciding to play. Hopefully by then it'll be fleshed out, wrinkles ironed, and it'll be a nice folded package for me to open on sale day.

    This could be an interesting game for me, since I love to sail in real life. I wonder if it has actual sailing mechanics, like the effects of wind and current. Do the ships have different stats based on what kind of ship it is?

    For example, in general the longer a ship is the faster it can go in the water (square root of length at the waterline times 1.4). However, a smaller ship can usually turn faster than a larger ship. I've been able to stay ahead of a faster boat in real life by using my smaller boat's faster tacking to stay upwind. I really hope this game has realistic action like that.

    Does it have different sail types? A square rigger is great if you are going downwind, but terrible if you are going upwind. Lateen sails are better upwind, not as good downwind.

    Cannon ammunition makes a difference too. In PoTBS you could shoot cannon balls, but also have bar shot and grape shot. Grape is good against the crew, but does nothing to the ship itself. Bar shot is used to take down the enemy's sails, and doesn't really hurt the ship or crew. Use bar shot to disable the movement, then hang out on their stern pumping broadsides into them.

    I'm really hoping they have some of these realistic mechanics in the game.

    Well they made Black Flag, the best AC game I have played and a good seafaring game. I doubt it will be that realistic, which would be great but then you start to have gameplay issues. As long as they don't dumb it down too much that's fine by me.
