[silver crow]

Good morning friends and foes

[uncut shore]

Added a picture from a workday morning in off topic, we got that snow during the night and I still had to go to work that day 😅

I wished for a bigger snowblower

[vital topaz]

Once in my lifetime i want to experience that much snow!

[rocky kettle]

admittedly a bobcat would be a much more fun and versatile purchase. just a bit more expensive

[uncut shore]

Go on a snow vacation! We have dogsleigh rides and rental snowmobiles 😁

[uncut shore]

My inner kid is nagging me to get a skidsteer!

[rocky kettle]

every freaken year I want a skid steer

every freaken year i dont have a skid steer

[uncut shore]

Let's form a support group... Grown people with too few toys!

[rocky kettle]

hahaha

[quasi saffron]

Good morning you lot.

Next week I'll be once again more often around.

[signal ocean]

good morning

[split schooner]

blorg

[civic zenith]

mornin Chief

[signal ocean]

how's things

[lofty garnet]

Any news on the update

[signal ocean]

no news, which in itself is kind of like news

[silver crow]

Working hard

[elfin needle]

The question is...what is the question?

[civic zenith]

things is good. and ontop.of that its friday..so double yay :3

[quasi saffron]

Oh no. Its the friday before I need to work again.

[civic zenith]

well at least its the friday before and not already sunday..worth something isnt it?

[signal ocean]

one friday closer to the release, think of it this way

one friday closer to coins

[civic zenith]

now u got him into a reeeaal dilemma...
sad cuz slav... ehrm work again. but happy cuz coin :3

[arctic mural]

So what’s the fov, bloom and brightness on with the. Thrills of Twilight trailer

[signal ocean]

can you be more specific?

[arctic mural]

https://youtu.be/QobOQaF3-M0?si=ye5twfyo8aU_gsse

[signal ocean]

you're asking for the fov, bloom and brightness settings for the entire trailer?

[arctic mural]

https://youtu.be/zp-PT-9HdB0?si=NcwjkIHerYOsSrfL

[arctic mural]

Yes basically

[signal ocean]

@rain laurel if you've got some time to answer this gentleman's question

[arctic mural]

Isn’t that your username

[signal ocean]

no, phaze is a different person I can assure you

he's our video producer

[arctic mural]

Same username as yours but. I think the bloom is 100%

[real pawn]

coolusernamebro and phaze are not the same

[civic zenith]

knew it.CuB was all of em all along! one man army job! xD

[arctic mural]

Nvm

[small pendant]

Might need to refresh your app, they're definitely not the same

[arctic mural]

I did I see the difference

[small pendant]

Discord likes to mess up weekly

[arctic mural]

Fair enough

[civic zenith]

and Voice Of Enshrouded (before he gets all angy again :3)

[signal ocean]

thank god I thought I'd been huffing paint in my sleep again

[civic zenith]

who says you didnt?

[small pendant]

You just keep random paint around?

[signal ocean]

you never know when you might need it

(as it happens, there's a paint sample roller stick behind the sink, in the kichen. I'm not sure how it ended up there but I know it's there)

[small pendant]

I mean, we have some... But we painted when we bought the house

[real pawn]

we were told to remind you its your paint huffing corner, you keep forgetting /j

[signal ocean]

oh thank you

[small pendant]

The strange things you find in some places

Our dog managed to find a tennis ball we didn't get him, in the house. We fully cleaned our house before moving in o.O

[signal ocean]

I mean there's always a tennis ball to be found if you have a dog

[small pendant]

He was so upset that we threw it out. Some tennis balls are toxic to dogs, so we only let him have ones we know are pet safe.

[signal ocean]

oh I didn't know??

[small pendant]

Yeah, some use materials or paint colors that can make them sick

[signal ocean]

poor babies

[small pendant]

Yep, no random balls for the puppies

[quasi saffron]

I don't even know where he got it from, I never bought my dog one.

[misty abyss]

i really feel like going skydiving next saturday, but is it worth 500$ usd?

[carmine scroll]

you couldnt pay me 500 to do it. or 1000.

[split schooner]

Welp. I think I fried another network card. I have really bad luck with those

Not even a lightning storm.

[misty abyss]

am not getting paid, i am paying to jump

[split schooner]

This sucks. I wanted to finish my haunted hayride in Planet Coaster 2. 🙁

[misty abyss]

how do you even fry "another" network card

[civic zenith]

500?!

[misty abyss]

yeah, its tandem, since there is no way they let untrained people jump out of a plane

500 aint even THAT much

[civic zenith]

and? im payin 220 quid for a 4000 m tandem.jump o.O

[carmine scroll]

Yes. I know.

that was my point.

[misty abyss]

they have a monopoly on it here, there is like 1 place where they do it

[civic zenith]

still though... thats one hefty price hot dang. but i guess at the end of the day up to you what its wort to you.

im payin 1.5 k for training plus equipment + 7 (solo)jumps + more.

[misty abyss]

and it includes them filming it, idk if that is worth more, but yeah

[civic zenith]

well ok 1.7k

🤷‍♂️ your money. your decision at the end of the day

[misty abyss]

what country lets you tandem jump for 220 quid? uk since quid?

[civic zenith]

Germany

you ever did any jumps before? aka bungee?

[misty abyss]

have done indoor when i was like 12, got slammed into the tube walls

not bungee tho

first big jump

[split schooner]

Nevermind, somehow one of the cats unplugged me from the hub.
I am not sure HOW

[civic zenith]

would advice you to try the high bungee jump first. see if its realy something for you. for way less

[misty abyss]

its only 153m and for some reason extremely hard to find, like i cant even find 1 place that lets you do it at this time of the year

and jumping from 4000m is way more fun

also since i get the video, it is a really cool thing to have on my social media, first thing ill ever post

[quiet zephyr]

morning chat ^^ 👋

[subtle prawn]

Mornin

[misty abyss]

mornin

[timid quarry]

Mornin

[daring pewter]

Add the cost of a new set of underwear and pants too 😁. Have fun!!

[misty abyss]

wont need any, done WAY worse

[daring pewter]

Good!! Adrenaline junky like me and my one son 🤗

[misty abyss]

yup

[dense wyvern]

Hello, fellow Flameborn

[misty abyss]

hello there

[daring pewter]

I have done things that at 70 I now think .....what is wrong with me..... fortunately no serious injuries but awesome memories ❤️

[daring pewter]

Hi there

[daring silo]

Another glorious morning, flameborn

[misty abyss]

and awsome stories to tell

[civic zenith]

The only "wrong thing" would be why didnt i do this way earlyer? :3

[daring silo]

kicks back a glass of morning boar juice

I need more sleep

[daring pewter]

Yep ...only bad memory was crawling down a tunnel in a cave and got stuck....that sucked big time 😂

[dull citrus]

Top o the day flamey folk

[misty abyss]

couldnt agree more with you

[near breach]

Hey everyone

[dull citrus]

Felt hard. So jet lagged.

[daring silo]

Mhm

[dull citrus]

Hi friend missss youuu

[daring silo]

And I'm even a half hour later to work than I wanted to be

Gahhh

[near breach]

Miss you toooo. We need to plan soon to play together !

[dull citrus]

Yessssss

Please!

[near breach]

For sure when the update comes. It would be so fun

[daring silo]

Yacht party in the new lake

[dull citrus]

Its a date! #waterwhen

Bring a bucket

[split schooner]

water when it is ready that';s when

[daring silo]

sand updat wenn

Every time I see the question, I can feel the whole room bristle.

[misty abyss]

incase you forgot there is an entire desert

ik it was ironic

but just incase

[daring silo]

I'm just poking some fun

Being a regular rabble rouser

[near breach]

When the sand storms are added… you mean? Lol

[daring silo]

Quicksand would be neat. Can't imagine the coding complexity of it

Oooh, sand-related spells tho...

[near breach]

Well… it may be along the lines of the tar pits and water

[daring silo]

Oh true. It's kinda halfway there.

[misty abyss]

they can in theory add that during the water update, i believe they said that there will be more intricate weather and maybe more diverse

[daring silo]

Maybe I shouldn't joke about sand update then hahaha

[near breach]

Sandstorms would be very neat. Truly the kindlewastes need a little more depth and love. I think it’ll get what it needs. Sandstorms, heatwaves, oasis’s… all the goods

[daring silo]

Mirages!

[split schooner]

There is already the tar that acts like quicksand in Enshrouded so... the code is there

[daring silo]

Definitely would be neat if that lies in their scope one day.

[misty abyss]

there already is a mirage function, i can always see myself getting a legendary weapon before i open the chest and find a common or rare 😭

[near breach]

That’s a good one lol

[daring silo]

I am actually more excited for when Keen takes another crack at the itemization and combat in the future. I've no idea if it'll be anything substantial but I'm interested regardless

[near breach]

-sees gold chest
-opens it to find rare or commen weapon

[daring silo]

Bomb

Oh. Oh my, what treasures

[misty abyss]

and 4 water

[daring silo]

I don't wanna discuss how much grinding I did for the lvl 25 gold armor sets a year back.

[simple saddle]

id love to see some changes to the inventory management

dropping stuff in bulk is tedious

[violet socket]

What is Feature Upvote?

• It is a site where players can make suggestions for the game and upvote other suggestions for a chance to get them implemented.
• Please search for your suggestion before submitting to avoid duplicates.

Suggestions may be open/closed at any time to review backlogs.

• Upvote suggestions you like to increase their chances of being implemented.

Enshrouded Feature Upvote: Click Here

Please keep suggestions to one per ticket, we will delete any tickets containing general feedback, multiple suggestions or duplicates (as that defeats the purpose of the site.)

[daring silo]

What we've gotten thus far from launch have been excellent changes. So I'm sure we'll see further tweaking.

[misty abyss]

maybe some inventory rules? like a skill or something that allows you to auto delete rubble...

[near breach]

I imagine you had dark circles under your eyes and your hair disheveled lol

[daring silo]

That's just every morning

[simple saddle]

a simple thing actually add from inventory to existing stacks and not drop all

or dedicated storage for that manner, could kill 2 birds with one stone if you put a sign on and choose the item

[simple saddle]

yeah its really good so far

[daring silo]

That sort of ease of management is on the roadmap I believe. Or rather, they're aware people want it.

Especially chest renaming.

We'll see what happens post-Water

[simple saddle]

yes lets goo

[daring silo]

I've got my hands in a few different games right now so I'm probably one of the more patient of the bunch in here.

[civic zenith]

dont need renamed chests. aslong as we.get the promissed signs im good

[daring silo]

I mostly pop in to see the regulars.

And to remind Cross that juice exists.

[misty abyss]

yo cross, btw does it get cold up there, before/while freefalling

[kind kraken]

Are they waiting until the 31st to release the content??????

[civic zenith]

hell jeah it does 😅

[split schooner]

The juice drama just won't die

[civic zenith]

yes. and then they will push it back to the 48th

[daring silo]

October II

[split schooner]

Nah Oct 42nd or 49th

[kind kraken]

Sounds accurate

[split schooner]

FThey like Tuesdafys

[daring silo]

It will be those two dates. Not a range.

[split schooner]

fI can'tf type I need to fo to bed

[civic zenith]

well i would expect a delay if i was you. not even joking

[daring silo]

Hahahaha

[split schooner]

plausible

[civic zenith]

most likely and honestly also kinda hope for that

[split schooner]

better delay than hot mess

[daring silo]

Any of the autumn updates for my games this year I'm chalking up to hopefully by the winter holiday.

[civic zenith]

i would rather them polish it more than pumpin half baked pc bricking software out

[kind kraken]

Of 2027

[split schooner]

https://tenor.com/view/tkt-smart-gif-20642718

[daring silo]

Hey, 2027 is a great year for when they launch the game finally on Dec 30th. Gotta let em cook.

[near breach]

Really? No birds and squirrels bringing you your robe and slippers? You yawning and stretching your arms out angelically and smiling, remarking out loud how lovely the morning sun is ? 🤣

[daring silo]

Honestly, Keen can take all the time they want.

[daring silo]

I mean, I am a Disney princess

[civic zenith]

they sure can and should. still got some grounded 2 and other games to look at in the meantime lol

[daring silo]

I am somewhat of a morning person but anyone that's this chipper honestly scares me a little hahah

[simple saddle]

imagine the shorts guy picking up this and dropping teaser with that launch date every day just fw us

[civic zenith]

well... gues now its my turn to ask you what ur takin and where to get that stuff 😋

[daring silo]

Shows a picture of a valley filled with wells

Look guys, we added water.

[simple saddle]

i could not be mad

[near breach]

I am not a morning or day person in general. You see me outside during the day and in the sun… that’s not me. lol that’s someone impersonating me

[daring silo]

🐗

[near breach]

You’d love my imagination, I feel. That thing is a drug in of itself

[misty abyss]

wish the sun was out more here, its just coulds for the most part

[civic zenith]

that would be one hell of a troll and i would be so here for it

[daring silo]

I figured you were a "I'm awake when I'm awake" kind of person.

Since I see you in here at the oddest hours hahaha

[split schooner]

no night shaming the vampy girls

[near breach]

Yes. Very very true lol

[daring silo]

Oh never. I know better.

Especially when I'll be up till 1am talking in here some days.

I am a functioning adult I swear

[near breach]

Once we hear the birds chirp and see the light.. that’s means it’s time to close the blackout curtains and go to sleep lol

[split schooner]

That makes 1 of us

[split schooner]

yeah I should go to bed

[civic zenith]

he forgot to add barely

[daring silo]

Yes

[near breach]

I’m definitely thinking the same. Lol

[daring silo]

I'm on my second mug of earl grey so I'm too awake now

Until my 9am meeting. And my 10am. And then my 11am.

[misty abyss]

what do you work as? HR? how many meetings do you have, i could never

[daring silo]

Engineer

That's all I really wanna share. Plus I believe we have rules about oversharing personal info and I'd rather not breach anything in this lovely discord.

[split schooner]

I dox myself regularly

it just happens because I don't care

[daring silo]

Let me tell you about how I used my government name in FFXIV.

[real pawn]

same

[split schooner]

like oh no! you people know I live on the outskirts of Nashville. What are you going to do? Come punch my skeletons?

[daring silo]

Lovely area though

[split schooner]

I mean if you do you will not like how I react

I hate it here

[misty abyss]

i dont mind telling people where i work or what, because i have some benefits, and some authority to deal with any threats i get online

[split schooner]

I have always hated it here

and I am not going into why I came back because it's a whole thing

but I very much want to leave and go North

[daring silo]

Come to Michigan

[split schooner]

I am thinking more New England

[daring silo]

Also very lovely

[split schooner]

more conducive to the 365 Halloween aspirations

[daring silo]

Sept 15th-Dec 25th is the Halloween season for my family

Basically, whenever The Nightmare before Christmas is relevant

[split schooner]

Inside the house is Halloween all year

I put outside up Labor Day to Thanksgiving usually

[misty abyss]

sometimes my parets would get some suprise halloween decorations applied in their bathroom while they were asleep, pretty much any day of the year, by me

[misty abyss]

i need to be more financially responsible...

and relax more during weekends

my schedule is:
this week (mma competition)
next week (bday/skydivng)
week 3 (SAR)
next 4 (SAR pt2)
week 5 (dove hunting camp)
week 6 (intro to helicopter flight/being a heli pilot with mostly sight seeing)
week 7 (beer and whiskey brewing)
week 8 (propeller plane flight)
week 9 (climbing)
etc/unplanned

i really be doing anything but speaking with women

[thick cloak]

update when? ôo me and my group are restless

[real pawn]

when it comes

[thick cloak]

we've tried to tell us that... dosnt work

[real pawn]

too bad, we can't rush it along... so it will come when it comes

¯_(ツ)_/¯

thats just the way it is

[tribal beacon]

Hello all! How can I show off my base for the YT channel?

[real pawn]

#self-promo if you wanna post the video
#screenshots-and-art or #1200109637815517184 for screenshots ig

[mint mango]

Ello, I just caught hemotoxin for the first time. I got the quest for antidote to craft at alchemist but it’s not showing?? Plz help

Says I need spider glands and moths which I have but only the regular antidote is available to craft

[civic zenith]

look into ur personal crafting menu. not in the alchemists

(after u talked to the alchy)

[mint mango]

Hehehe yea I just realised 🥲

[thin panther]

i think game on steam need a new achievment:

• Went to end of the world, to a hell where ancient corrupted dragon have it's nest for a basic cooking pot: Hell Kitchen pot

[lament monolith]

Mornin folks!

[vocal grove]

I'm at the part right now 🫩 was hard to do alone so I made a new world waiting for water lol

[blissful sun]

So I built my base at the first plateau you come to after waking up from death. On the map it's like 1" away. I've never moved or built another. Apart from the annoyance of getting new supplies to upgrade and rebuilding, is there a reason to support two bases? Does it do anything for you??

[carmine scroll]

less traveling around and stuff.

good to have a base in each biome or so.

[daring pewter]

Ja, probably women are more dangerous than any of that.....and some more expensive 😁.

[vital quiver]

what happened to october patch?

when is release

[wanton folio]

Well on one hand, it's the middle of the month

[carmine scroll]

october isnt over yet.

[wanton folio]

On the other hand, it'll get here when it gets here.

[carmine scroll]

https://tenor.com/view/incredibles-bob-parr-the-incredibles-gif-7194125

[acoustic topaz]

One thing is for certain, it'll release in october..

[royal marsh]

But not sure if this year.

[violet socket]

Enshrouded Roadmap

Don't see a feature you want on the roadmap? Create a suggestion on Featureupvote!

Image too small? Here's a direct link to the image.

Roadmap current as of: 21 Febuary 2025

[daring silo]

Maybe

Or October II

[tame seal]

Update when?!!

[quasi saffron]

Update then!!?

[daring silo]

No more water now. We're getting the lava update instead.

[vocal grove]

I sure hope not

[lament monolith]

What you dont want a lava river?

[daring silo]

Relive Morrowind inside of Enshrouded

Get called an Outlander!

Ride around on a giant bug!

[vocal grove]

Maybe later. I love the game its beautiful but to me the only thing missing is water. I can't wait to have a beautiful lake to look at when i walk outside the base. it'll be heaven

gonna be awesomeeee🥹

[royal marsh]

We also need an overhaul in the loot system. There's no much point in solving puzzles, kill lots of enemies, trolls, dragons to get a lvl 15 blue equipment.

[timid quarry]

i hope we can ADD fish to our self-made ponds.. Also.. Koi ponds?

[tame seal]

They've already said you can catch fish and add them to the water in your base. What fish they are? No idea.

[mystic pollen]

https://tenor.com/view/fishy-anime-swim-koi-gif-15750468

Koi!

[vocal grove]

omg yasssss

would be breathtaking

im not to picky tho

on type

[icy slate]

It's going to be those fish with the human teeth.

[timid quarry]

Im completely clueless aside from trailer. Trying to go as blind as possible to the update

[vocal grove]

oooo how can u do it lol

[tame seal]

We're all blind, aside from the trailer right now 😄

[daring silo]

Day 45: Cade is once again in my pond and thinks he's a koi.

[lament monolith]

He will sleep with the fishies. I will put his bed IN the lake

[daring silo]

Be sure to place a roof as well

[pliant quarry]

on my last playthrough I put him under the stairs like harry potter

[daring silo]

Cade confirmed wizard

[real pawn]

so each time you run down the stairs you jumped on the steps to make all the dust fall???

[subtle prawn]

Can we push the NPCs in the water?

[daring silo]

"EGH, SAWDUST!"

[real pawn]

😂

[silver notch]

not me accidentally taking a personal day off work bc my friend and i both thought we saw an announcement that the update would release today

big oops

[thick isle]

i think they're called sheep head, for some reason

[daring silo]

Well at least now you can enjoy other games for your entire day off

[cyan void]

I stubbed my toe and fell into the shroud and got shroud lung. It would really help my recovery if I could have some UPDATE ANNOUNCEMENT today. Would really improve my chances.

[daring silo]

Get ready for October II instead.

[carmine scroll]

how about.........No.

[daring silo]

Offers sand update instead

[carmine scroll]

https://tenor.com/view/king-of-the-hill-dale-gribble-pocket-sand-pocket-sand-gif-3699662

[ebon ingot]

hi

hello

[proven lake]

So if the level cap is expected to rise from 35 to 45... I wonder if 1.0's max will be 50.

[carmine scroll]

i'd bet 5 bucks on it.

[harsh forum]

Arc raiders free stress test beta live today for anyone interested!!!

From the same devs as the finals, one of the better shooters in the last few years

[daring silo]

That seems like a good safe number to me.

[random salmon]

hi

[daring silo]

Especially when the goal is spring next year for launch. But that's assuming Keen doesn't push back a bit to make sure the game is polished for 1.0.

[maiden current]

hello

[lament monolith]

So water we all up to today?

[carmine scroll]

not making awful puns.

[lament monolith]

I swear its just reflex at this point.....

[proven lake]

I mean, did no one hear about that bakery that burnt down

now that guy's whole business is toast

[carmine scroll]

did you hear about the parsely farmer who got sued?

they garnished his wages.

[lament monolith]

Now those are some top level dad jokes right there

[proven lake]

no but i heard about the cheese factory in France that exploded.

De brie was everywhere.

[carmine scroll]

did you hear about the guy who lost his whole left side?

[delicate glade]

lol

[carmine scroll]

he's all-right now.

[proven lake]

I didn't have time to read that article because i was reading a book about anti-gravity. It was impossible to put down.

[high nexus]

hi, any news about the game not running well por people with HDD ?

[tame seal]

The only news is "they're trying"

[high nexus]

alright, thank you

[proven lake]

I mean i can offer some advice

2.5" SSDs are very cheap and I recommend buying one.

If you're able, the M.2 drives are better but need motherboard support and a cooling solution (most mobos with slots for them come with thermal pads)

[high nexus]

well the issue is someone then needs to do the rest of the job
I can buy it, I can't do the rest of the work required
and the primary source of this sort of work just got acquired by another company and doesnt offer this anymore -.-

[proven lake]

That's wildly ambiguous. Are you located in the US or EU, or other?

Because if you're US based I can link you to several fantastic sources for helping you understand how to do it yourself.

Its a big ol' "it depends" for whether your computer will support such an upgrade, but many can.

Laptops generally are a "Proceed with caution" type situation and every laptop is different.

[daring silo]

I've helped friends with no computer skills learn how to install an SSD. YouTube truly is marvelous.

[proven lake]

Same resource I will be using and abusing when i buy a house to get away with not overpaying for home repairs.

[pliant quarry]

Yeah if the installation process is your only concern, thankfully harddrives are one of the easiest pc parts to install

I guess ram is the only thing that's easier

[proven lake]

if a piece of toast can do it, you can too! ™

[high nexus]

yeah, I heard that a couple dozen times
I'll stick to black holes with two event horizons and database architecture
and leave this particular job to someone else
and if that someone else can do for me the 7 years overdue PC cleaning? perfect for me

[lament sand]

For those who haven't check in a while and didn't realize it was back up: The Shroud Depot is back!

[daring silo]

All the guides on YouTube: "Don't be gentle when installing it."

[pliant quarry]

It's really hard to break an SSD lol

[unkempt atlas]

you might say they're particularly. . .solid

😎

[proven lake]

I mean, if you wanna pay someone to do it, its absolutely your right to do so. Your money after all. But what we would love to see is for you to keep more of that money in your pocket.

[daring silo]

That's it.

Points to plank over the current empty pool

Walk it. We couldn't fill the pool with water yet.

[proven lake]

And there's a lot of ways to ensure you can! But... obviously... if you're too intimidated or worried about breaking something, you'd be better off letting a professional do so, it'd be a better use of both time and money at that point.

[unkempt atlas]

swan dives and gliders to the bottom

[daring silo]

Foiled once again by gliders

[lament monolith]

Didnt have that issue when my kids toured my base.....They didnt have gliders yet and right down the pitfall they went......

[steel pagoda]

Been saying this since launch there gets to a point not even that far into the game where fighting is pointless cause the loot sucks

Same with puzzles

[wanton folio]

is this dump on Keen day, lol

I'm sorry you're unhappy. Many of us are not.

[subtle prawn]

Seems to be unhappy day today for some reason

[pliant quarry]

To be fair, it's on our radar that the looting system leaves a lot to be desired, and it's something the team really wants to improve (including a few changes in the next update)

[tame seal]

Spoilers!!! You heard it here first folks!

[steel pagoda]

Yayyy super excited

[subtle prawn]

I mean Kontreck also talked about it

[steel pagoda]

And for the possibility of greatswords 😼

[tame seal]

Shhhhhhhh i'm trying to make the people happy!

[subtle prawn]

Suwwy

[tame seal]

Possibility? 2 handed swords are confirmed in the next update.

I doubt we'll get much more definition besides that ^^

[wanton folio]

I feel sorry for Keen having to deal with such different playstyles

those of us bopping around with hours of content cause it's a building game

others saying the game ia dead and done cause he did everything lol

[pliant quarry]

It's a blessing and a curse because that also gives us a much wider audience of people who will buy the game lol

[wanton folio]

yeah

but it makes juggling a challenge

[tame seal]

It's swings and roundabouts, fortunately for them, there is hours upon hours of content, even without the building side of it.

[lethal cypress]

in fairness, its nice to see that you're... keen to listen to different types of players 🥁

(not sorry)

[steel pagoda]

Yayyyyy I saw a TikTok that it was a possibility. I didn’t know it was confirmed

[unkempt atlas]

gestures to the plank Walk it.

[lethal cypress]

but the water update isnt out yet ill just hit the ground and die

😠

[unkempt atlas]

details, details

[pliant quarry]

Yeah definitely, I've been in lots of meetings about combat and loot design and stuff, but I also just had a meeting this morning where we discussed ways to add more cozy things to the game for building players, cause there's definitely some places where we're lacking in that kinda stuff. It's not easy to keep the wide array of playstyles happy lol

[wanton folio]

🙂

and here I am thinking i jsut need a tub of butter....

[lament monolith]

Yes more cozy props please😇

[wanton folio]

WHERE"S MY BUTTER

stupid game

😉

[lament monolith]

Toast hoards all the butter didnt you know?

[steel pagoda]

I see people complain about the combat of the game but idk how? It has amazing action combat that’s better than any survival crafter I’ve ever played

[lethal cypress]

butter with water physics applied

[tribal beacon]

There's a butter churner too

[wanton folio]

got those!

I have goat milking stations and butter churns

[tame seal]

When people think 'combat' in this sense, they're more meaning more towards souls like combat, so varied weapon attacks, heavy/range attacks, combos etc etc etc.

[mellow sage]

Where's my churning animation?

[wanton folio]

but without some butter I'm not sure anyone will have any idea lol

and PIZZA I need pizza

that's cozy!

[steel pagoda]

It feels a little soulslike to me already, we have a parry system, dodging, and multiple different weapons to choose from, every other survival crafter I’ve played has stale combat with no action

[pliant quarry]

Which is hard, because while we definitely want to improve combat, there is also the simple fact that we're not dark souls, and not really trying to be dark souls either. Enshrouded is definitely designed with a more casual audience in mind, and we're probably never going to have a point where you need to memorize enemy movesets and become a master of dodging so that you can 1v1 them all lol

[mellow sage]

I want to make Pizza and Door Dash it to other servers...when? 😛

[wanton folio]

lol

[tame seal]

Exactly. Personally i find the combat system plenty enjoyable for what i like, one reason i enjoy the game is because i don't have to think much with the combat 😄

[pliant quarry]

Yeah we've definitely taken a lot of inspiration from souls games, cause I mean, it's a fantastic combat system. But we're not trying to be ultra hardcore like a lot of those games are either.

[wanton folio]

you used to be able to order a pizza from dominos with the /pizza command in eq2sadly it didn't work by the time i played so sad

[small pendant]

The only thing I really want in combat is the targeting to be fixed

[steel pagoda]

I love the combat so much the only thing it was missing was greatswords

[wanton folio]

I'llsettle for fixing target when not in combat lol

[steel pagoda]

And now we can have them soon

[wanton folio]

lost a chicken yesterday for it

[pliant quarry]

Yeah the great swords are quite fun, I've been using them a lot because I've been helping Phaze shoot footage for the trailer

[mellow sage]

Yeah I was never that guy playing EQ lol

[tame seal]

The only thing i hope for going forwards, combat wise is 'harder' boss fights, like the dragon as that's the only really interesting one. The fell youngling was nice, but relatively simple in itself.

[wanton folio]

for many years I was way into eq2. It's still top 10 fondest memories

[mellow sage]

That was LOTRO for me.

[tame seal]

I think... more complex fights rather than harder would be a better way to describe my desire ^^

[pliant quarry]

For me it was the old mmo "Tibia" lol, I'm glad that game doesn't have an hour counter because I probably sank so much of my life into that ugly ass game

[wanton folio]

never heard of that one

[pliant quarry]

It was one of the earliest MMOs, initially made in 1997

[tame seal]

My heavy hitter was WoW 😭

[viral scarab]

My formative "MMO" was Dragonrealms. MUDs were crazy back in the day.

[wanton folio]

I'm drawing a blank on the first mmoish game we played

likelate 80's early 90's

kinda like an online sim game of sorts

I remember neighboorhoods and stuff

[noble anchor]

I still play it. I'm one of the main scripters for the Genie front end.

[tame seal]

The first MMO-ish game i played was Guildwars, the original.

[viral scarab]

Landmark 😭

[wanton folio]

awww man

you went there

[sinful moss]

i am but one opinion in a sea of many but... i'd just like to say that this game has been so much fun, ive been so bored with games lately.. my husband and i are retro - modern video game collectors and this game has given me life lol we've been hooked.

[viral scarab]

My cousin still plays it occasionally, I just can't get back into it though.

[viral scarab]

Someone had to

[pliant quarry]

I was gonna say MUDs were before my time but then I realized that it's only a couple of years older than tibia, so I guess I just never stumbled into one of them as a kid lol

[daring silo]

Amazing game. Been playing the sequel since beta.

[wanton folio]

but now my day is ruined

RUINED

[tame seal]

Yea i played a decent amount of GW2 but nothing in recent years.

[wanton folio]

I fell in GW2 one and peeked at GW. I regretted not being arund at the start of it

[noble anchor]

They've done a lot to make it as tedious to play as possible. There's nothing to do aside from hunting and all everyone does these days is AFK script train so the community isn't there anymore either.

[wanton folio]

it had some fun stuff

[daring silo]

ArenaNet made a wonderful world to explore

Good lore too.

[tame seal]

That they did.

[viral scarab]

I may or may not have worked on GW2 when it launched 👍

[wanton folio]

it was too late by the time I saw it. I wasn't ready for hte aloneness

[winged crow]

i had my presearing lvl 18 😛

[unkempt atlas]

ooh, LOTRO mentioned

[steel pagoda]

Honestly deleted everyone’s enshrouded world, make 1 huge server for everyone and make the game an MMO 😂😂😂 I wanna see thousands of ppl running around in the same world

[pliant quarry]

... Why would you waste your time scripting in a MUD?

[mellow sage]

Arena Net has the best version of a 'living' world that an MMO has ever done so far

[pliant quarry]

I mean people do it in Tibia but that's cause you can resell your accounts, can you do that in MUDs?

[viral scarab]

My cousin does it specifically because he likes ot make scripts 🤷‍♀️

[noble anchor]

I like coding and scripting for it keeps me sharp.

[wanton folio]

I wish someone had done some scripting on the stock game I played in the 80s

made a great penny stock sale and it rolled over to the negatives

[steel pagoda]

New world a goated mmo

[wanton folio]

SO SAD

[pliant quarry]

Oh they just do it for fun, alright I thought they were trying to gain something by cheating lol

[viral scarab]

Oh man, don't get me on my "living world" soapbox for MMOs. I'll make you listen to a 6-hour dissertation 😝

[pliant quarry]

https://tenor.com/view/ppf-lol-omg-gif-21502676

imagine the lag

[wanton folio]

I"m not against a tirade lol

but I'll need to get up and stretch a bit first

TOAST

I told you

no cupcakes for the class

BAD GIF

😉

[small pendant]

I'm making brownies today...

[unkempt atlas]

sneaks a cupcake away

[steel pagoda]

Just do what monster hunter and boardlands 4 did, let it be super laggy and blame the players for having bad PCs 😂😂

[viral scarab]

It's not really a tirade, more of a VERY detailed and researched understanding of why modern MMO projects aren't making waves and what they need to do to embrace the living world concept with modern technology...

[pliant quarry]

https://tenor.com/view/staringsoldiercatok-gif-2130370366885478984

should I use this one instead

[wanton folio]

oh my

that makes me rear back in my chair in fear

[daring silo]

Oh man I miss launch. Those were fun weeks.

[steel pagoda]

Add turtle we can kill to make turtle soup and turtle shields 🏎️

[viral scarab]

The dog one is my favorite

[noble anchor]

Dragonrealms is a different kind of MUD. You don't get more powerful by killing things and just gaining EXP. You have a variety of Skills that are trained by doing specific things, kind of like the text version of RuneScape. Because of that, training requires doing the same thing over and over and over... So scripting makes it easier.

[small pendant]

Bl4 caused my graphics card to overheat and melt my power supply cable to the connector.... I was not happy

[pliant quarry]

Damn zerax you're old, I didn't know you'd been in the industry for that long lol

I'm so sorry

[unkempt atlas]

no. add boar juice.

[wanton folio]

barf

[steel pagoda]

Bl4 wouldn’t run on my 4090 instant refund lol

[wanton folio]

also need ice cream cones yes yes

[steel pagoda]

What even is that 😭

[viral scarab]

It was my first industry job 😝

[pliant quarry]

That's a crazy first job to have on your resume

[small pendant]

I found gf ice cream cones the other day. I was so happy

[unkempt atlas]

find boar. squeeze boar. create boar juice.

[daring silo]

Agreed.

[steel pagoda]

I’ve heard of this on the deep web I think they call it munting 💀

[wanton folio]

I have some ideas for how to make icecream

[small pendant]

Lol yeah, they screwed the pooch on the release of bl4 and what it did

[unkempt atlas]

I'd upload a handy image. . .if I could in this channel

[wanton folio]

but haven't yet looked to see if anything can be the cone

[daring silo]

Ayo, where's that Commando class that was teased? April Fools joke or not, I crave that army man profession.

This is a 13 year old joke

[steel pagoda]

And blamed the players lol the ceo of that company is wild

[small pendant]

Lol you know I'd share if you were near. Do you have whole foods near you? You can find it there

[pliant quarry]

I felt so bad for the CMs of that game when the CEO did that lol

[noble anchor]

I do. I'll swing by on Sunday when I pass it on my way home from my mother's.

[pliant quarry]

What a PR nightmare of a statement

[small pendant]

I'd think they'd be used to it by now. Every time he opens his mouth they have a fire to put out

[daring silo]

Oh Borderlands 4. I had the wrong game in my head when I read BL4

[pliant quarry]

Yeah true, I guess maybe they just look like this guy by now

"Oh the CEO said something again..."

[small pendant]

Since Amazon and whole foods are teamed up now, you can check their grocery service and just see if they have it in. Then you don't have to waste time if they don't have it

[noble anchor]

I will wait until BL4 is free on PS+ to play it... Because I've day it WILL be free on PS+.

[mellow sage]

They'd be better served investing in a Randy Pitchford AI response bot that auto-responds to criticism with a pleasant and pro-player spin on whatever was said. 🤣

[steel pagoda]

Isn’t New World free on ps+?

[small pendant]

Nah, the AI would learn from what was previously replied and start saying worse things than the human

[noble anchor]

It is, and it's still not worth it.

[steel pagoda]

Hey I have 11k hours in that game

[noble anchor]

My condolences.

[small pendant]

I like it... I've played over 1k hours in it too. I just play it for the run of the story and then move to another game

[noble anchor]

Also, I already had the game before it went on PS+.

[steel pagoda]

it’s worth it I love paying 20$ to change my characters hairstyle

[noble anchor]

The true pay to win.

[pliant quarry]

MMO monetization is something else lol

[static marsh]

hello

[wanton folio]

I could reture on what I"ve spent in games

but

no one made me

[steel pagoda]

I’d how I got so sucked into it lmao but yeah 11k hours later and 4k usd spent I still have not learned

MMOs are so addictive tho

[small pendant]

Yeah, WoW has a bit of it but none of it affects gameplay, just cosmetics

[pliant quarry]

"a bit of it", didn't they just sell a mount skin for like 100 bucks

[steel pagoda]

Worth it, it’s a pretty mount

Lmao

We Gotta convince ourselves it was worth it

[pliant quarry]

gotta flex on your guildmates somehow

[mellow sage]

WoW doesn't need any more monetization than it's ever-flowing moneypot of people who've played since 2004 and are still paying monthly 😜

[small pendant]

I have no idea, I have only ever bought moubt/pets when they're on sale for super cheap. I don't mind. I've played for 20 years, I will use my mounts and pets

[lament monolith]

Flex with your skills not your wallet!

[viral scarab]

Lol, I was a low level QA person. I mostly tested the dungeons and story and crafting and stuff. I DID do some dev work, but it was pretty minor.

[pliant quarry]

the way you used to flex in MMOs was just grinding way harder than anyone else, now you grind a 9-5 so you can buy the shiniest skin

[noble anchor]

Horse armor.... I used to collect the different horses in LotRO... Until I left the game when they gutted my class with skill trees and specializations.

[steel pagoda]

Yessirrr flexing is the point of MMOs I guess it’s kinda fire

Yall should have a microtransaction shop on enshrouded

[pliant quarry]

the great swords will actually be randomized skins like csgo knives

[small pendant]

Hey, don't you say bad things about us.... If you find a game you like playing and they are running the servers, it's not a bad deal. A server I am running for Enshrouded is $8 a month and let's 4 people play. They run a server for 1000s and ask for $15

[steel pagoda]

Imagine a 20$ Halloween outfit skin purely cosmetic

I’d buy

[steel pagoda]

Yesssss

Lmao

[steel pagoda]

I wish I was born early enough to be one of the first ppl to play WoW😣

[pliant quarry]

I remember being in the fortnite alpha when it was still a survival game lol

weird to see it being... what it is now

[mellow sage]

All I'm saying is that WoW is literally one of the last MMOs that can survive and continue to operate without anything more than a sub and their playerbase. Everyone else has changed their models because purchasing habits have changed.

[noble anchor]

I was in that too.

[small pendant]

I started at the end of Vanilla and start of BC. I much prefer my experience with BC than Vanilla.

[mellow sage]

I got a beta key back when they were being sold. That beta was wild.

[lament monolith]

It has changed so very much

[cedar depot]

It wasn't a big deal really... I was an alpha and beta tester for Warcraft Online while working at Midway Games in Carlsbad, CA in 2002. That became WoW eventually.

[small pendant]

Ffxiv is still doing well on just subs too

[steel pagoda]

Lmao I was 7 when that came out but I do remember Fortnite season 1

[steel pagoda]

Lucky

[noble anchor]

The beta for FFXIV 1.0 was something else...

[mellow sage]

Sure is. And for about a month or two it beat out WoW in concurrent players last year (or was that this year?).

[steel pagoda]

I got to play the beta for New World before it came out so I guess I got that 🫩

[cedar depot]

While working for Sony in 2003, I downed all of EverQuest servers with a bad patch lol

[small pendant]

No idea. The years are bleeding together for me -_-;;

[upbeat thunder]

Hello 🙂

[pliant quarry]

https://tenor.com/view/power-starwars-unlimited-power-gif-15939349

[lament monolith]

That was you????. I liked everquest it was fun

[steel pagoda]

I haven’t played ever quest cause the graphics are bad rn ngl

And the combat isn’t action combat yk

[cedar depot]

yes, and I was the one who made the dragon Kerafyrm unkillable

[pliant quarry]

back in the day everyone was so hyped for everquest because the graphics were borderline revolutionary for such a massive open world game lol

[viral scarab]

I don't actually think this is true, I really feel like people would be willing to pay for a subscription if there's a clear value proposition of what they get and the content that the devs are creating.

[mellow sage]

Action combat wasn't feasible for MMOs early on. Not enough bandwidth, not enough processing power. You had people joining with 56K modems for crying out loud 🤣

[cedar depot]

they worked us like bees though. Was really really tough working there 60-80 weeks

[pliant quarry]

I think MMOs would do fine if they just stopped trying to clone WoW lol

[daring silo]

Oh no

[steel pagoda]

LOL I believe it but can’t they just use unreal engine now?

[viral scarab]

Soapbox looking mighty tempting right now 😝

[pliant quarry]

Oh yeah, the games industry is still a nightmare, but the early days of the games industry was actual hell

[noble anchor]

FFXI and FFXIV are still both sub games, and they're doing great still.

[viral scarab]

Isn't ESO also a sub game still too? (with MTX as well)

[mellow sage]

Quite a few upcoming MMOs are using Unreal 5e now.

[steel pagoda]

You don’t need to pay the sub to play

And you can just buy all that content instead of paying the sub

It’s basically a payment plan for dlc

[unkempt atlas]

I haven't played it in ages but isn't EVE a sub game as well?

[mellow sage]

Yeah they are. That's why I said 'one of'. There are a few of them out there, but amongst the vast majority of the MMO genre, the sub model can't pay for itself.

[pliant quarry]

Yeah EVE is sub only, but you can earn subs with in-game currency

[viral scarab]

But yeah, I think a subscription totally works if the game is worth having a subscription for. I think if a game is only subscription with zero MTX and zero other purchases, it might actually be more enticing to players because they know everyone's on the same playing field.

[unkempt atlas]

or did they change that at some point?

[cedar depot]

I literally left the industry thanks to EverQuest... I was previously a MidWay Games employee who worked on Crazy Taxi, Hydrothunder and others. SOE was and still is a crappy employer.

[small pendant]

Technically you don't need to pay for a sub on wow anymore. If you're good at earning in game gold, you can buy game time tokens with it

[steel pagoda]

I played some ESO it was super easy got boring because pretty much every enemy is super easy to kill and does no damage to you

[tame seal]

EVE does have a free to play section these days but it's very limited.

[pliant quarry]

Wasn't crazy taxi also a nightmare project or am I thinking of something else

[noble anchor]

EVE is and isn't a sub base.... It depends. There is a fee to play it, but depending on how good you are you can earn your playtime by playing the game and selling stuff to other people.

[mellow sage]

Doesn't someone have to purchase that token first though?

[cedar depot]

Yes it was, but only for the Dreamcast team

[daring silo]

Yo how many devs we got in the chat today

Am I the only sap who works in a different industry?

[small pendant]

Not you though. You can totally earn the gold to pay for your time.

[cedar depot]

and fun fact: Hydrothunder is almost a copy of crazy taxi's engine, assets and models

[pliant quarry]

The only lucky bastard who works for a different industry*

[viral scarab]

Well, to be fair, a big chunk of my career was outside of games. The reason I'm back in games is because I realized I'd never be happy working on financial systems and crap like that.

[unkempt atlas]

I work night shift retail. . .

[wanton folio]

I wouldnt think those of had played would need to be told you played eso considering the name 😉

though I don't know if he was in any other games

[small pendant]

You all have jobs, as part of layoffs this year, I'd say you're all lucky

[viral scarab]

I worked as a costco stocker overnight, I feel your pain.

[daring silo]

I'm in automotive. I think it's just as bad.

[mellow sage]

Right but either way, they got their money for the time. It's like earning someone else's sub by playing the game 😁

[cedar depot]

It's a rollercoaster regardless

[pliant quarry]

Yeah I'm lucky for finding something else, though I was part of the first wave of layoffs a couple years ago lol

So not that lucky

[steel pagoda]

Haha true no one ever gets the reference for real, he’s also in daggerfall, morrowind, oblivion and Skyrim lol

[cedar depot]

I'm happy to have had the same job for 15 years that I still enjoy getting up to go to work for each day...

[small pendant]

Way too many layoffs happening right now. Especially since the companies doing it are still earning millions, they're just doing it to pad their shareholders' pockets -_-

[pliant quarry]

Yeah I was a retail merchandiser for a few years and I think that job was like a sort of black hole on my entire life. It's like those years never happened and they probably shortened my lifespan lol

[daring silo]

Look at this human, enjoying their livelihood.

How dare you

[small pendant]

I take nothing for granted now. I was at my job for 14 years when they sold the company and 2/3s got laid off

[unkempt atlas]

the work's decent enough, hardest part is the hours, its rare that I feel fully rested and non-tired

[steel pagoda]

I just got my first job took so long cause most places here only hire 16+

[wanton folio]

before my vision tanked to heck, I was an RN. best job ever

[cedar depot]

I also worked 15 years prior to this one at an assortment of crap jobs where I can in fact not take it for granted

[wanton folio]

miss it every day

[viral scarab]

Yeah, I feel that. I almost got fired because I kept falling asleep on my "lunch" breaks.

[mellow sage]

The unfortunate truth of it is that they make terrible decisions that lead to terrible games and an over-hiring of people on a bloated budget, then put out said game, blame the players for why it isn't successful, fire the staff, close the studio, and move on to the next company to ruin.

[small pendant]

I did that for a while. Black hole definitely works as a description

[steel pagoda]

If u get tired at work just take one of those gas station 5 hour shots of energy

[cedar depot]

I went from Tech Support to Game Tester to Physics Engine Developer to Game Design to Systems Administration in my career lol

[unkempt atlas]

heh my lunch breaks aren't long enough to be falling asleep on, I get half an hour for lunch

[pliant quarry]

Ah yes, the bottles of heart attack lottery

[unkempt atlas]

I've been drinking caffeine daily for over 20 years, I'm trying to taper off it. cut out energy drinks, switched to caffeine pills.

[viral scarab]

Mine weren't long enough to fall asleep on either, and yet... 😝

[steel pagoda]

I been drinking 2 a day no heart attack yet lol I think that it’s just a myth that energy drinks and stuff are bad for u tbh

[mellow sage]

Only if you forget that you're supposed to sleep 🤣

[ripe tusk]

Your body will hate you for a little

[umbral grail]

Sleep is for the weak

[ripe tusk]

But its way better not relying on any substance again

[pliant quarry]

I drink a lot of caffeine too, but it's worth pointing out that it is literally a neurotoxin that evolved in plants to kill bugs by making their little bug hearts explode lol

[daring silo]

I've drank 3 cups of coffee in my entire life. Tea snob forever. ☕

[viral scarab]

I mean coffee tastes gross, so 🤷‍♀️

[cedar depot]

Those Brits and their teas lol

[viral scarab]

But I know that's a minority opinion

[ripe tusk]

Coffee is a legal drug thats what it is

[unkempt atlas]

caffeine doesn't even energize me anymore, I was just drinking it in to avoid withdrawals, which is why I switched to pills that I can taper off of

[small pendant]

Not a myth and too much of anything can cause health issues. One person being lucky doesn't mean the rest of the people will be

[wanton folio]

I miss caffeine but I know it's for the best

[ripe tusk]

Coffee doesnt energize to begin with it merely delays fatigue

[steel pagoda]

Damn I didn’t know that actually

[unkempt atlas]

I'm 37 and I started drinking energy drinks pretty much daily since around 13-14

getting too old for that stuff

[daring silo]

I'm just a Michigander who enjoys earl grey

[small pendant]

I absolutely hate the smell and taste of coffee. You aren't alone

[mellow sage]

Water CAN kill you...and no, not by drowning 😛

[viral scarab]

Interestingly I LOVE the smell of coffee. But can't stand the taste

[ripe tusk]

Energy drinks are simply liquid heart attacks

[steel pagoda]

Yeah I started drinking energy drinks and caffeine shots when I was like 13 I’m 15 now still fine

[tame seal]

I too like the smell but don't drink it.

[pliant quarry]

Yeah, humans just like it because we're a lot bigger, so when we consume it the effects are mild and just hype us up instead of overwhelming our nervous system like it does in bugs

[daring silo]

Same. Coffee can smell great and I'll stop in that aisle at stores every time.

[cedar depot]

Caffeine is actually helpful for ADHD and Spectrum peoples... does actually help them concentrate.

[mellow sage]

Try cold brew. The bitterness mostly comes from the hot water.

[unkempt atlas]

can confirm

[daring silo]

Good way to root out who's the bug in the chat.

[ripe tusk]

Its one of those 'acquired taste' type drinks.

Which in reality is your brain not thinking the odd/bitter food is poisonous so it starts letting you enjoy it.

[pliant quarry]

If anyone gets a heart attack from caffeine that means they were secretly a bug

[daring silo]

We're doing this just like the scene in The Thing.

[unkempt atlas]

or they had an underlying condition

[steel pagoda]

Ah so if caffeine kills someome they were actually secretly a bug pretending to be a person

[rain laurel]

[steel pagoda]

Beat me to it lol

[ripe tusk]

Their game was bugged

[viral scarab]

My hot take is that any "Acquired taste" is dumb because I don't want to eat/drink things that taste bad until they don't taste so bad 😝 I don't drink beer for the same reason.

[tame seal]

Hi phaze!

[small pendant]

I don't know, the smell just turns me away from it. I have never liked the smell.

I also love the smell of teas, but don't like the taste.

[daring silo]

Chips/crisps (I hope you enjoy that I did that, Brits) sound great right now.

[ripe tusk]

Its about 3 times usually, but taste also changes as you get older. Things I disliked as a child and teen are tasty now, despite not eating or drinking stuff more since then

[rain laurel]

It's 8pm here @pliant quarry

[cedar depot]

mmmm beer.....

[pliant quarry]

yeah it's your bedtime don't make me call your parents

[small pendant]

Isn't it only like 9 or 10 there... Not bedtime yet

[steel pagoda]

You think they will ever as mounts to the game? Obviously the map isn’t built for them but maybe like a mole mount that digs terrain or one that glides instead of using a glider something that fits the game

Ahhh one of them...

[daring silo]

3pm EST. Pub time soon

[pliant quarry]

Prossibly, it's a super popular suggestion so the team is aware of it.

Though there's kinda the question of like... how would you make them useful when players already have gliders and grapple hooks

[cedar depot]

I've got a few Stouts out to prepare

[small pendant]

Also Eastern but no pub

[viral scarab]

Give us pack yaks that carry a lot

[rain laurel]

also, my sleep has been getting worse @pliant quarry

[daring silo]

I'm surrounded by people from the west Midlands, aren't I

[viral scarab]

So we can park them outside of POIs and load them up

[rain laurel]

my kitty is on heat again, week cycle, three days off, another week cycle etc.

[cedar depot]

California here lol.

[small pendant]

It would have to be a special flameborn mount because otherwise you'd just kill your mount in the shroud over and over again

[steel pagoda]

End game replacement for grapple hook and glider maybe make it a super late game thing so those are useful throughout the beginning

[pliant quarry]

God cats in heat are a nightmare to deal with lol, is she still too young to get spayed?

[small pendant]

If you get your kitty spayed, no more heat...

[rain laurel]

nope, it's just that we wanted her to kind of grow up properly, got the visit booked beginning of November

[unkempt atlas]

same, same

[small pendant]

Cats can be spayed as long as they weigh 2lbs

[rain laurel]

and Ragdoll's can be weird with being spayed too early

[daring silo]

You Pacific time zone punks

[unkempt atlas]

PST best zone

[pliant quarry]

They can yeah but it can be better for animals to let them have a few cycles, dogs especially.

[rain laurel]

I mean, she is weird nonetheless 😄

[small pendant]

Ohh rag doll, never mind, definitely a different timeline

[rain laurel]

acts like a dog

[unkempt atlas]

west coast best coast

[cedar depot]

Well, if it makes you feel any better my family lives in Minnesota ya knoe...

[daring silo]

Ah, a Midwesterner

[wild path]

I need wataaaaaaaaaa

[lament monolith]

Wall I am in too deep with the water puns I keep throwing them into my normal call flow at work.......

[cedar depot]

NorEaster tyvm

[pliant quarry]

oh you betcha

[rain laurel]

anyway, here to say hi, hope everyone is doing well, hope y'all excited about the update

and on that note

[small pendant]

Ours used to too, but then we got the dog and he was like, nope, I don't wanna act like that idiot -_-;;

[rain laurel]

I'm off to get WR in Megabonk

wish me luck 😄

[daring silo]

The people of Michigan gracefully accept you and offer you fudge and an IPA.

[tame seal]

Goodluck!

[rain laurel]

if I don't come to work on Monday, you know I played for 48hrs straight trying to get wr 😄

[cedar depot]

I talk to family there, the accent kicks in and my wife yells at me afterwards to stop it.

[unkempt atlas]

one of these days I'll visit the Great Lakes region

[daring silo]

It's beautiful here. It's like having our own seas

[unkempt atlas]

Wisconsin, Minnesota, Michigan, Illinois. . .

[pliant quarry]

Throughout my life I've lived in Michigan, Colorado, and Texas so my accent is an abomination

[daring silo]

But you still say ope, right?

[cedar depot]

Oufta, Walnut Fudge made with marshmallow and cane sugar aye?

[unkempt atlas]

meh on Ohio, hell nah on Indiana, maybe western New York. . .

[cedar depot]

I have the recipe for that Minnesota fudge right here, it'

[pliant quarry]

yeah and everyone says I prounounce bag wrong

[steel pagoda]

Lowkey my all time favorite part about enshrouded is the instrument playing I feel like more games need to have that

[cedar depot]

it's what I give to family every year for xmas: fudge tins packed with MN fudge

[daring silo]

Bâæg

[unkempt atlas]

I honestly am not sure what accent I have

[small pendant]

I made fudge for a friend's bday this week. I think my husband's favorite was the rocky road. Chocolate fudge with walnuts and marshmallows

[pliant quarry]

exactly lol

[cedar depot]

Yup, that's a fav here too. Oreo fudge is another

just so time consuming

[unkempt atlas]

born and raised in California, but my father still had a healthy dose of New Yorker accent in his speech and I probably picked a lot of that up, and I'm hearing impaired so that has an impact

[daring silo]

Damn I'm gonna need to get some fudge this weekend now.

[small pendant]

I do the cheat fudge. Sweetened condensed milk, chocolate, and mixins

I cook it in a double boiler

[cedar depot]

2 cups (16oz) semi sweet chocolate chips
1.5 cups (12oz) cane sugar (NOT White Sugar)
1.75 cups (14oz) sweet evaporated milk
1/2 cup (4oz) butter (1 stick, salted)
7oz Kraft Marshmallow Creme (or 2 cups mini marshmallows)

1 tsp vanilla or nut extract (hazelnut, walnut or almond extracts are preferred)
OPTIONAL FLAVORS
Abuelita, 1/2 cup grated/powdered (use only 1 cup of chips if used)
100% Cocoa powder 1/2 cup (use only 1 cup of chips if used)
Cinnamon powder
1/2 cup to 1 cup of Walnuts
Mint Chocolate chips, 1/2 Cup
Marshmallow minis, 1/2 Cup

[steel pagoda]

My dad played the first ever MMO ultima online he says every mmo went down hill from there lol

[cedar depot]

I use a crockpot set to warm

[small pendant]

No cinnamon, I'm allergic. Also, I like my easy fudge and I can make large batches releively quick.

[cedar depot]

yeah, my recipe is literally a modern version of a family one written in 1930

time consuming too

[daring silo]

Copied and saved

[small pendant]

Your fudge could kill me

[cedar depot]

Any recipe for fudge is going to come down to prep and cooking.

the thing with fudge is you will never ever be able to make it taste the same twice

[small pendant]

Hmm I should have done mint fudge... Darn, will have to do that for xmas

[daring silo]

Mint sounds nice right now.

Talking about food was a mistake

[small pendant]

I like having marshmallows in the fudge, gives a nice soft creamy bit in the middle of all that chocolate

[cedar depot]

try swirls of melted mint chocolate + marshmallow creme at the end when it's hardening

[small pendant]

I have mint hot cocoa. I have it every winter. Buy bigs amounts off Amazon and drink it over the months

[cedar depot]

not enough cocoa content

could use it as a topper but it will not have that much taste if mixed, I know I've tried it

[small pendant]

Hmm mint O.O wonder if I could talk my husband into getting mint chocolate chip ice cream to go with the brownies I'm making

[daring silo]

Oh that's a swell idea. I should do that.

[cedar depot]

Andes mint chocolates work the best

[small pendant]

I have it all the time. I prefer the mint taste with hints of cocoa, so it works for me

[small pendant]

It already has chocolate chips in it, I don't want to add more melties in it

[cedar depot]

I was thinking in the brownies sorry, am in baking mode thought lol

[small pendant]

Yes, the brownies already have chocolate chips in them

[cedar depot]

Andes Crème de Menthe thins are what I use to get minty anything into baked goods

[daring silo]

Okay so definitely getting sweets this weekend

[small pendant]

Just make sure you get the water balance right when making it. A tad too much and it washes out the mint and cocoa flavors

[daring silo]

Noted. I'll have to mess about with that.

[cedar depot]

the other way is to introduce the mint later on

[small pendant]

Have you had the After Eight chocolate mints? Those are good treats

[cedar depot]

kind of reminded me of a more refined junior mint iirc

[small pendant]

They're a thin chcoalte coating around a mint creme inside. Nestle product you can get at a lot of grocery stores

[small pendant]

Lol a bit yes

[cedar depot]

had those with after dinner tea once

[unkempt atlas]

now I want to get some chocolates and fudge from a chocolatier

See's Candies

[cedar depot]

hehe

Chocolate Stout Beer

[small pendant]

Now that I've spent the last hour with you guys talking about sweets, it's Tim to get back to working on writing samples for job resumes -_- less fun than sweets

[unkempt atlas]

how do they compare to Andes mints?

[bright hatch]

hy

[small pendant]

Depends on if you want a hard candy or a soft center. They are both good but if you're looking for a solid candy definitely go Andes. If you want a melty mint splosion then go after eight

[unkempt atlas]

anywho, time for me to get some sleep

[cedar depot]

For me, things like Yorks peppermint patties are overpowering, especially in cooking. Andes actually have a descent cocoa content while having a nice rounded mint flavor that's great for fudge and brownies

[cedar depot]

nite nite

[small pendant]

Yorks are very overpowering. I would never use them in baking

[cedar depot]

I'm gonna shutup now so you can get back to writing samples for job resumes lol

[small pendant]

Baking I only use Andes. On a rare occasion I will use candy canes but that's for the crunch

But... Procrastination!!

[stuck cargo]

What would cause my game to stop and start like a stop-motion cartoon?

[quasi saffron]

Anyone still alive here?
Is this chat still working?

[small pendant]

Depends on your definition of alive

[rugged fractal]

It's late in some parts of the world

But not here :)

[still quartz]

A number of people have died of dehydration

[quasi saffron]

For me it's way past bedtime.

[still quartz]

Or are too weak to type

[quasi saffron]

damn, Keen has been dark lately

[still quartz]

I don't think they are gonna make it

[quasi saffron]

but wait, I'll get you some water

[still quartz]

I survive off of black tea

[quasi saffron]

Here!

[still quartz]

Its like water but better

[quasi saffron]

Hydrate yourself!

[lament monolith]

I prefer cherry coke for hydration

[carmine scroll]

https://tenor.com/view/spray-bottle-cat-spray-bottle-spray-bottle-meme-tiktok-gif-25591053

[still quartz]

Cherry Dr Pepper

[lament monolith]

Oh look its the water update

[quasi saffron]

I think that's more the rain update

[daring silo]

I left work and started dinner

[carmine scroll]

YES!!!!!!!!

[daring silo]

I probably spent too much time in here today during work hours.

Nobody tell my boss

[lament monolith]

Dr Pepper tastes like medicine to me

[daring silo]

[lament monolith]

I am in here ALL DAY during work

I was out of it today though I told my customer"i can see how that would hinder the flow of your workday" and " Lets fix this and stem the tide of employees asking where their paycheck is"

[daring silo]

Oh this stuff is heaven

I should buy some more

[wanton folio]

Cherry Dr pepper sounds a bit like Mr Pibb

[carmine scroll]

i wont if you dont tell mine.

[azure path]

I made a village, I am getting better at this building thing.

well apparently I can share the picture

[lament monolith]

you can share them in screedshots and art or creative corner. Or if feeling ambitious start a post in builders showcase

[azure path]

I have a screen shot

It isn't working for some reason

[wanton folio]

as a rule of thumb when we can't do a thing, it's cause somewhere down the road, someone abused the thing.

[pliant pebble]

I do totally agree with you, I am sure they have a good reason they done that.

It wasnt me

I'm too old to gif

[harsh forum]

Gnome war on gifs incoming?

[rugged fractal]

Huh, I didn't realize we couldn't

[harsh forum]

It honestly keeps chat way cleaner and easier to read. Since this is a public discord anyone could join and just spam the crap out of it

And there isn't really a filter on NSFW gifs so that's an issue too

[rugged fractal]

And this is such a fast channel, yup

[harsh forum]

Yeah I've seen it get pretty active since I've joined and idk if I've even been here a week

[pliant pebble]

I totally agree, I am just playing around.

[harsh forum]

We get ya 🙂

[quasi saffron]

I guess I should introdue myself then properly!

[harsh forum]

We have fun here

"we like to do a little bit of trolling, we like to call it trolling"

[pliant pebble]

I totally respect each discord server rules.

[quasi saffron]

Welcome here, user.
I'm Van, the defiler of gifs, the greedy guy of dreams, the one, who brought upon us the upcoming monetization of Enshrouded...
Thus... I'm the guy that was the loudest complaining we... need... COINS!

[carmine scroll]

so its YOUR fault!

[harsh forum]

Youre the one who made me PAY FOR THE GAME??

[rugged fractal]

I'm getting a coin.

[carmine scroll]

HE IS

[harsh forum]

If it wasn't enshrouded I would be mad

[rugged fractal]

Shaped pin from the Enshrouded Store

[carmine scroll]

im giving 2 coins

[harsh forum]

But I feel I got my $40 value the first hour of gameplay 🤣🤣🤣

Everything after has been a treat

[quasi saffron]

Well... I even got a nice pic of myself in Enshrouded!

[lament monolith]

40??

[pliant pebble]

show off

[quasi saffron]

That's me.

[rugged fractal]

Oh hell yes. I'm 60 yrs old, and this is the most enjoyable game I have ever played.

[harsh forum]

I thought I remember paying $40

[pliant pebble]

so true, I am so addicted, I think I need professional help

[lament monolith]

its 30 for me though I got it for 20

[carmine scroll]

im in my taking a break phase cause I have no one to play with... UwU

[harsh forum]

You are correct sir I just checked

[pliant pebble]

I play alone, never played with anyone, I play in easy mode so I kind of suck

[harsh forum]

Best thing about enshrouded is the pace doesn't push you. There's not a particular way to play other than whats fun

[rugged fractal]

Yeah, I should be working on the Paris Morgue, but I'm too chill tonight :p

[harsh forum]

I've been putting off my main quests for a while just doing random things. Then I'll go on a quest kick, then back off and build. You just play how you like and I'm solo too. I always prefer solo

[rugged fractal]

Elliza, no way. Easy mode is so chill, just exploring and building. I love it

[pliant pebble]

I did got all my crafters and most villages and done a lot of quests, but in easy mode it's not really a challenge

[rugged fractal]

I used to play co-op with my hubs, but we decided we liked our own games better

[pliant pebble]

silly question but what is the difference between the tavern and the chat channel?

[rugged fractal]

I think Toast is in charge of one, this one I think

he's on the Keen team

[lament monolith]

ummm what???

[quasi saffron]

I accept your application into my slavery, so go and build me a castle with my materials now.

[rugged fractal]

I could be wrong, I thought I read that somewhere

[lament monolith]

tavern the topic can meander and chage based on what we are talking about at the time enshrouded chat is pure game focused

[pliant pebble]

oh that makes sense, thank you

[quasi saffron]

CMs moderate everything and are the guys who know stuff they got told from the team.
There's not really a channel they moderate

[quasi saffron]

tavern mostly topic what is right now, Enshrouded chat more focus on Enshrouded shtuff

[rugged fractal]

ok, that makes sense

[quasi saffron]

tavern is offtopic as offtopic itself, later (mostly when an update arrives) they prefer to have topics here centralized around Enshrouded too. Mostly if ppl ask stuff and such

[harsh forum]

Basically tavern channel and off topic channel are like cousins basically

[quasi saffron]

but somehow not

[lament monolith]

Why did I just picture Toast as the red ranger of the group of CMs.....

off topic is like off off off topic if you catch my drift

[rugged fractal]

Are there other CM's I only know of Toast from the minigame contest

[lament monolith]

Toast, CoolUsernameBro,,Phaze, and Q

[pliant pebble]

most people here have such cool usernames love it

[quasi saffron]

One too much

[lament monolith]

Though we seem to see the most of Toast and CUB

[carmine scroll]

..... Frog is no longer with us.............. 🙁

[lament monolith]

WHAT?????

[carmine scroll]

fired

[quasi saffron]

Yea, we keep that under rugs.

touchy subject and not our business

[carmine scroll]

[pliant pebble]

wow, you are a very strict

[carmine scroll]

they can spank me for mentioning it, but ya, Frog is no longer CM for keen. I cant say more.

[pliant pebble]

I better behave before I get banned LOL

[lament monolith]

Your good!

[quasi saffron]

Problem is, we don't know the reasons and it only causes ruckus if we talk about that too much, so... We should let that topic leave as it is. Please understand.

[lament monolith]

Our moderator and CM crew are really chill you gotta really do something heinous to get banned

[carmine scroll]

Ya

like ||redacted||

[quasi saffron]

or coins

[small pendant]

Or be Van/End... They need a banning here and there

[quasi saffron]

I was banned once though!

[pliant pebble]

oh no, I would never do anything like that, I just joke a lot, but I am really harmless

[carmine scroll]

noooooooo

[quasi saffron]

What did I do wrong now?

[rugged fractal]

Agreed, Toast dmed me when I was a rando winner of that contest and he was very nice and chill

[lament monolith]

Yeah when you asked them too🤣

[quasi saffron]

I was at least polite - asking for a ban.

Other ain't.
