Reminds me too much of Destiny/Division/etc. Just running around doing the same things over and over.
Testing servers and looking for real time bugs. It's not the current state.
I'm interested in the game but i just can't see this being a huge success. How do people like it so far?

There is more to the game than what we can play at the moment?
That's not the impression I got.

It sounda very much like this curent playable build is a slice of a bigger pie.
If you are insider read the link on previous page. Game has lots more in store. When that will come and how etc is obviously not so clear...

First time playing today and it was great. First people I matched with only one was using a mic who left within 5 mins. So after 20 mins of silence I backed up out of that one as well.
Next group was massively better everyone on the mic, talking saying what ship tasks they were going to do. One of the guys really explained the sailing mechanics so we were using the wind to our advantage. Amazing stuff.
I like how the mechanics are not easy but also not crazily complex, they're very learnable. But boy are mics very important in this game.
This. The game feels amazing when the whole crew are communicating with each other.
I hope in matchmaking you can specify that you'd like to be matched only with people who use mics. It might also be cool if they somehow tracked the success rate of crews who communicate vs. those who don't and show the vast difference between the two on a loading screen or something, encouraging people to use their mic.
They have said they are looking into a system to match mic users with other mic users.
I think in one of ththink podcasts or YouTube vids they also mentioned some sort of system where you can communicate without a mic. Probably a radial menu with commands or something. At least give the non speakers some level of playability.That's great.

Pray for the servers.
Check the recent insider email as well, looks like we are getting a shiny new toy this build.
Shouldn't you not be posting about the insider emails? Do you not know how an NDA works?
In a coconut shell, it simply means that you're now allowed to discuss and share the information in these emails, but sharing gameplay footage and/or images is still forbidden. We know this sounds rather daunting to read, but it's crucial to our continued development, and we really appreciate your continued support.

NDA was updated back in Feb.
Why do people play this without a mic?
You can also share general impressions.
c. Do not describe any part of the Game on any venue unless we've instructed you to
They've said you can share impressions but not sure if thats relegated to the forums or not. There's a certain post on the insider forums that shows a great vision for the game but I was told I can't share it. Trying to get clarification on sharing impressions outside the forums now.
There's a 6 hour session this saturday!
I know the feeling. I have yet to be able to play because they always do it when I'm working ;_;GODDAMMIT! Do they time these things for when I'm out of town?!?
This looks pretty good, but it's still missing something crucial for me personally. Story or a Narrative of some sort.

They have already said the game won't have a story.

2 play sessions this weekend!
1-4pm EST and 6-9pm EST on Saturday. Pretty fun feature in the patch notes.
It sure does. Even on OG Xbox One it looked really nice and ran also good already.
Btw people played the PC alpha? How was it?
