Negative first impression !

I got the beta and i started to play the tutorials.

Already there is some issues.

When you get the tutorial screen it tells you to open up other screens but they go under the tutorial screens and there is no way to bring up front what they are talking about..i tried but i guess there is no way to do it...


When you see the marketing of the game i am lead to believe that you can zoom in up real close to the ships which does not seem to be the case.

When i try to use the keyboard wsad keys or the (arrows) keys when i am at sea to move the camera.. it is as slow as january molasses but when you use the mouse and go to the edge of the screen in all 4 directions the camera move at a decent speed...what gives? that the keyboard scheme is as slow to move the camera?


so far...not really impressed to say the least..sorry...

Well for the wsad keys hold down the shift key and let me know if you have an improvement.

As for getting up close to the ship you can ge on the deck with the direct command feature. Not sure how much closer to the ship you can get.

I'll try it but i should not have to do that... there must be a configuration setting that can be changed to improve this.

If that is all you have to 'complain' about...

Anyway, it's an open beta for a reason - it's not the finished, fine-tuned product. Why would they release a polished game for nothing? It's there as a sort-of demo, to give you an idea of the game, not to be the game in it's completed form (otherwise they wouldn't make much profit).
