    The stress test is disappointing, I have given up for now. The goals for the day are





    - Day 1: July 30, starting at 2PM PT – Complete the tutorial and reach a settlement





    It has been impossible to complete the tutorial or get more than 1 minute into it without it "detecting lag" and then resetting me to the beginning of the tutorial. The look is great although character creating options need a few more choices but right now it's unplayable and I don't mean that I expect a full game experience but after 15+ runs trying to get through the tutorial and never able to last more than 5 minutes before it resets me, there's nothing to say except they need ore stability just to achieve the stated daily goal.




    I guess... mission accomplished? They wanted to test the density.. er eh.. I guess server load. So they win, but everyone hoping to play, such as yourself, loses. 






    Well I was hoping to play to help them test it out not just to get a free sample. It's just frustrating not to be able to achieve the limited goals they set. Hopefully some people are!



    Let me log back in and see if I can at least grab a screen shot, it looks good.


    You're either a trooper or a masochist. I guess let us know how it goes haha. Since they are doing an expanded play test pretty soon for a ton of more people, getting things hammered out now is their best bet. I hope they are able to. 



    Maybe both! I want to see this title succeed so willing to give a little of my time to help them work out the kinks! I posted a couple of screen shots but they seem to have vanished, perhaps the images aren't acceptable during the stress test, I meant no offense if that's the issue.
    Test is still under NDA.
    Ah my apologies!  Anyway, it's still very pretty in a dark dangerous kinda way, sorry folks no screen shots!

    I see the screenshots. The game has a nice ambience. I don't know, I did search and saw a couple streams for it, but not many are running now, likely because everyone is crashing all the time. I wouldn't worry about it.

    Sounds like you're getting it lol. You can also add animation lock to those once in a while useless abilities.

    It's like they want an action combat game but just can't commit to it.

    You're lucky.  I get initial combat tutorial, loot dead captain, equip shield and food, make way down the beach, fight first dead thing,  *detecting lag*, then it starts over... over and over and OVER AND OVER... it's like a really short version of Groundhog Day... at least 30 tries, have never made it beyond that without *detecting lag* and reset

    Try restarting on a low pop server if it lets you.

    I had fun playing this and got to level 11 before the test was over.  No lag or disconnects and I was connected to a US server from within Europe.  Game was much better than expected.  Next test is 25th August
