UFS2 Playtest | Content Preview 1/3

Hello everyone,
In the beginning, we would like to apologize that we didn't post anything for a long time. We are all here, alive....we were just engrossed in work, focused mainly on fixing bugs and balancing the game over the last few weeks (which will not be fully possible without your participation in the tests).

*Nice Jump*

Thanks to the commitment of the Quality Assurance team and our dev team, we have made a lot of corrections and improvements over the last weeks, some of which are still being done.

Okay, I don't want to bore you anymore. Let's move on to the Playtests details.

[h2]WHEN?[/h2]
Around 20-25 April. The date will be confirmed around April 6th, so take keep an eye out for "Content Preview 2/3".

[h2]HOW LONG?[/h2]
About 4 weeks. We will roll out weekly updates. Each week one map will be changed for a new one, so you will be able to test a few of them. The current schedule looks like this:
  • Week 1: Jackson (USA) + Zalesie (Poland)
  • Week 2: Jackson (USA) + Slovakia
  • Week 3: Jackson (USA) + Kiel Canal (Germany)
  • Week 4: Jackson (USA) + Russia/Ukraine


[h2]BETA FORUM[/h2]
As some of you may know, and some don't - Playtest users have access to the special Steam community forum where you can post anything related to the game.

What to do when you occur any problems or would like to share your feedback?
  1. Take a few screenshots or record a video;
  2. Create a new thread in the UFS2 Playtest forum;
  3. Describe your problem or write down your feedback;
  4. If you think it should be done in a different way - post your idea;
  5. Publish your post.


Don't be scared of posting negative feedback but it will be much more helpful if you could describe what you didn't like or is done wrong in your opinion. We will be grateful for constructive answers.

[h2]SURVEYS[/h2]
We will also run a more complex survey than ever. And here I am asking you about one thing - should we have 4 surveys, one per "week" or just a complex one starting Week 4?

You will be able to:
  • Rate game UI/HUD/SFX*;
  • Rate gameplay;
  • Rate graphics*;
  • Rate 3D aspects (equipment, fish models, etc.);
  • Describe what you did or didn't like;
  • Add your feedback with your proposal of content or what is missing.

* 4 sections, 1 per map

[h2]WHO WILL ACCESS PLAYTEST?[/h2]
Everyone who opted-in. You can do it > HERE <

[h2]Week 1: Jackson (USA) + Zalesie (Poland)[/h2]



So - you already know the Jackson map but it has changed, especially in terms of fish species that you will be able to catch there.

[h3]Confirmed Fish Species for Jackson:[/h3]
  • Black bullhead
  • Sockeye salmon
  • Rainbow Trout
  • Smallmouth bass
  • Yellow perch
  • Grass pickerel
  • Redfin pickerel
  • Bluegill
  • Largemouth bass
  • Pumpkinseed






Zalesie (Poland) is a typical water reservoir in Poland. Not the deepest lake, in the middle of the woods with some characteristic species for this region.

[h3]Confirmed Fish Species for Zalesie (Poland)[/h3]
  • Tench
  • European perch
  • Asp
  • Common barbel
  • Common bream
  • Common carp
  • Mirror carp
  • Wild carp
  • Grass carp
  • Crucian carp
  • Chub
  • Ide
  • Northern pike
  • Roach


Bear in mind that some fish species may be bigger or smaller if they are present on a few maps. For example, Rainbow trout reach max. 9.3 kg on Jackson and 14kg in Slovakia! So watch out for your lines.

[h2]EQUIPMENT[/h2]
You will be able to use dozen of Rods, Reels, Lines, Lures, Baits, and more! AND there will be even more equipment for the Early Access release, so if you find that for ex. LURES behave strangely or there is something wrong with any of them just drop us feedback and we will try to change it!

*Sorry for Polish language on the image*

What can I say? We are finally getting closer to release and many of you have been waiting for it. We just can't wait to read your feedback and implement all the improvements!

Hear you soon!

Regards,
Rafał
