I really like the less value item drop thing.

Also Mr. Niscadae, are those images in the highest resolution possible?

I currently have my graphic options set at everything highest except for character detail and texture detail (those on medium). compressed textures and aggressive memory conservation are off. Shader Level 3 on. Oh, OpenGL too. Not the best card in the world but it's doing pretty good.

We will definitely need a strategy for these. Small spaces means more people in on small area, and as we all know...

Small areas x Lots of People = Lag thus Lag = Loss of the Bride

Sweet, I should have my account back when these updates come out on open.
Though I am a little sad with some of these updates mostly the cargo dumping one, now the chance of getting crates back into port in reduced. now I'll never get to make a full record of 18 crates from behemoths/juggernauts/colossuses/dreadnaughts.

Thanks for all the screenshots, mates!
I would have been there, but lo and behold, they were right about OSX not connecting!
Grrr.....

I will give them the benefit of the doubt and assume this is on the top of their priority list. I'll be very upset if this is released to open before the problem is resolved.

I think the same happened with the last test. Did it?

Yeah the last test update (or was it the one before that?) seriously messed up the login for OSX. Thankfully the problem did not transfer to open.

Another neat little addition with sailing, although they may have moved the islands closer together which many people do not like, they did atleast make them look like more than just plots of land. (All the islands and your sea chart [M] have changed)

Here are just a few examples of the changes.

It's hard to see in the bottom two shots, but the Kingshead main dock is part of the island view, and on Cutthroat you can now see detailed cave entrances, rather than just holes in the island.
