-Chat, still buggy. One pirate sees all chat, one pirate sees partial chat, and both pirates are being controlled by the same player.

Good lord, I know they want to release some stuff, but at least release it after fixing what the test pirates tell you are broken.

Give the devs some credit; they don't decide the release schedule.

What I was trying to figure out last night was why you guys were seeing these issues but I wasn't. My visuals (cannon & helm) looked about the same - I didn't see any huge spatial differences. My broadsides were working fine. My compass was fine sans the intentional compass reconfiguration. Only thing I can think of right now is that I had to do a fresh install of the test client as my laptop didn't already have it installed.
