Hi all,

Haven't seen a thread for this yet and the reveal stream was yesterday and releases Oct 4th this year.

Just got my beta invite 31st May (12 PM CEST) to 3rd June (12 PM CEST)

Didn't realise the beta (assumed closed) was going to be so soon!

Guessing there are going to be a couple of public beta's between now and release.

So reading up on this and it appears to be a technical test under strict NDA so I'm guessing we can't discuss it and a big no no to streaming it or video capture!

Official Beta dates announced in due course... I was wondering why a test was this early to be fair.

Shawrey

 

[Shawreyboy]

Was a beta, I missed out still not sure about this game due to lack of gameplay time on wildlands.

It's a technical test. They're only allowing a very small portion of the game to be played under NDA. Closed Beta for pre-orders will be later.

It was luck of the draw if you were accepted into the Technical Test

Played the BETA over the weekend - was very impressed. Couldn't put it down.

Definitely buying this now.

EDIT: seems to have some more content too, including PVP!

Ubi have just announced the open beta is going to be running between the 26th till the 29th.

Should be a good server stress test before pre-orders for Gold go live on the 1st Oct.

Going to give Ubisoft the benefit of the doubt on this (especially after AC:Odyssey was utterly brilliant) and will see what happens tomorrow. I've got my install ready to go on One X so will be keen to get home from work and give it a bash as don't think I'm going to be on at midnight.

I am ignoring the aggro surrounding the MTX on this. They are shortcuts - pretty much in the same vein that BF and Wildlands have had before them however, all up on the store. Some items are locked behind Ghost Coins (paywall) however, purely cosmetics.

One thing I have noted that was present in the Beta but not in final release is the apparent loss of 'Vasily' as a Figure in the appearances who is is the Sniper guy. He was marked as 'Locked' in the Beta but now isn't there at all. Fixit, Fury and Nomad are there however...

Picking up my gold copy tomorrow. Excited!

Gold is eligible for early access?

Shawrey

 

[Shawreyboy]

Yes. Gold and above. The shop in my town called Gamebase used to be GAME. Same guy runs it now.

No I know gold is - I have the ultimate edition . I was just saying the Gold and above had early releasel, so if you had the Gold edition on order you should have been able to pick it up from your store on Tuesday surely?

Just making my character after 10GB patch. Think i'll do some sight seeing if I don't stack it down a hill. On Graphic Fidelity over Resolution atm.

From what I can tell running the game on my LG c7 there is little difference in my eyes. HDR brightness seems to have the biggest impact in visuals.

I am thoroughly enjoying this at the moment.

I just go off exploring and am raising my gear score - doesn't feel like there's any need to rush.

People slating it don't understand you can earn most of the rewards in game. Little it hidden behind a paywall.
