1. i don't think it will bother anyone to allow people into OW testing who have payed for the game, regardless of experience. 2. it's not soo much an obligation, as it is we are super excited to see more of the game. sure some people take the whole alpha/beta super seriously, and without them the game wouldn't be where it is. but for the vast majority of us, we just want to play

^^this. for a period of at least 2 weeks i couldnt even get a PVE game, there would be less than 20 people online and i'm guessing they were all playing PVE solo. that pretty much killed the game for me. also you are saying that if you get the santi say tomorrow, you will be invited straight away to open world testing? or is there a grace period? asking for friends of mine that are waiting for OW as well.

is there a rough time frame on this at all? i'm sure there are many like myself who bought the game late in testing and didn't make it to the Santi, and are now waiting on an invite to OW. if we could get some idea as to when that would be, to save us checking the forums twice a day that would be great.

this will turn off the entire HuD. if you want to make it more challenging for yourself

a mac is a PC.

the cutter is a great ship. and low number of battles in it to progress to the next ship probably helped that win rate a little.

now the long wait for season 3. on the bright side, it's only 2 weeks until GoT comes back

i see they just cast Blackbeard for season 3.

i did suggest something like this, but it seemed to get ignored.

the person above me thinks he is a soap on a rope

it has at least 1 more season all ready booked. but talk was grim after season 1 and it was lucky to get the call back for 2 seasons. so i'm guessing unless it does really well in the next 2 episodes( 2nd to last and last episode of the season) and next season, it will stop at 3 seasons.

this actually made me laugh.

i would like a balance between both of the above. there are pro's and con's to each, and i have faith in the devs to get that balance right. one time bonuses i think are great for games as a reward for completing something major. 100 ships sunk, 1,000,000 damage caused, gold earned etc. there is a sense of accomplishment in hard to earn achievements, and gives the player something to strive for. and finish in their own time. as where the time limited achievements seem to add hostility to the game if someone can't complete it on time. (something that happened in WoT and WT causing mass rage in chat over damage and kill steals, and i'd hate to see that element creep in here). on the other hand, these daily/monthly rewards can help the more casual player make some sort of progress.

yeah i seen you guys posted on facebook the new damage model was being tested and should be finished in a few weeks. i'm excited to see how it all works.

all tradies generally start work at 7am or earlier(it's only earlier if it's a large job site and they have permission from the council to start making noise before 7am.) . 'office workers' start at 9am. i myself would have to leave for work before 5am to arrive in the city ready for work by 7am.
