Very excited for the hands on experience!
Is there anything that we should specifically expect to be different between the alpha and the final product?
I’m sure various art, animations, etc. will change, but I’m curious if there is anything that will make the alpha easier/more approachable but likely will not be in the final product?
To put it another way - what should I not waste my time submitting feedback on, if anything?
The vast majority of the build we are providing is fair game for feedback! We want to go in to this looking for feedback on whatever shenanigans you get up to on the high seas.
If it springs to mind as something you would like to leave feedback on, we'd encourage you to do so. There's a strong chance at least one other person is having the same thought and we can't even discuss feedback if we don't receive it. If you like something we did that you think might be onboarding for the Alpha experience but it improved your experience, we might remove the onboarding mechanic but we might be able to use the lessons learned from it to improve Sailing for launch.
I've said a lot when the TL;DR is: Don't feel like you're wasting your time giving feedback on anything. Hopefully that helps and you can enjoy your first stint as Cap'n
Can you be a smuggler and the Gielinor feds come after you? Alternatively the British Navy?
STOP THERE CRIMINAL SCUM! YOU VIOLATED NAUTICAL LAW!
In all seriousness, you can attempt to smuggle :)
Sweet can't wait to wait till I get off work to start and then end up looking at my computer screen until 2AM.
EDIT: Horrid formatting, I should git gud at displaying info
Gonna ninja this thread for two things:
