@alastair9712 then those people are waiting for a Beta/Release. This isn't it nor is it the intention/purpose of it.
Ahoy Pirates, another Scale Test is on the Horizon!
@clumsy-george Like the previous Scale Test, the NDA is not in effect.
It is and always will be in effect for the Pioneer build however.
@khaleesibot
Great news! Another weekend treat! Thank you Rare!
(Gets out the Ferrero Rochers) 'Madame, you are spoiling us...' ;D@alastair9712 My assumption on this is that they will want to limit as many variables as possible so as to better identify and compare issues, and therefor why they are testing the same build. That way they can see progression of optimizations and the effectiveness of deployed fixes without potentially introducing new issues and/or adding things that might muddle the context.
Rest assured new content is still being tested by the Pioneers.
On twitter Sea of Thieves confirmed we'll be retaining our Progression, Gold, and Items from the previous Scale Test!

Another great weekend ahead mateys!
I let my wife know that it was going to be another pirate weekend and she responded to my text today telling me "You're going to be sick of the game by the time it launches!"
HAHA!
Hahaha, I've been wondering if that will happen to me (being sick of it by launch), lol, but I just don't think so.
Especially good on Rare in keeping so much stuff out of these tests.
One of my bigger issues is trying to 1) manage my expectations and 2) be ready to forget what I knew and accept whatever changes exist in the launch build.Regardless... wooohooo... arrrrrr!!
@khaleesibot still dont understand why they wouldnt have the scale test open the entire sunday also!?!??!?!?!?!??!?!?!??!?!?!?

Due to the nature of a scale test the team would need to be present at all times, being that they all have personal lives I’m sure this is to give them 1 day off in the week as they’ve all been working relentless hours in preparation for launch.

I'm hoping Rare sneaks in something subtle for this third class test. Like a variance in hair color instead of everyone all grey. Or tattoos and scars in the vanity chest.
Could you imagine if they "snuck" in the Kraken for this test, just for sh*ts and gigs? Aye, I'd p**p me pantaloons!
@jarofpeachz You can play it with the download from last weekend. It's the same build of the game... Or so I've heard :D
