I just hope those 100 people play this game.

[turbid meteor]

Is there a tentative release date for the game?

[tawdry sky]

the ETA they gave was sometime in 2026

[narrow sentinel]

Prefect no competition

[steady linden]

yup

[river night]

Dang… all cause I’m stuck in tech school. Oh well

[devout crater]

so guys how i can join the game ?

[surreal sierra]

Dw mate. There will be other opportunities soon

[devout crater]

i asked for permision but they dont give me it :/

[surreal sierra]

I’m guessing you signed up on steam for access? Yeah access is given during tests and the next one is coming next month. Even then slots are limited and not guaranteed. Patience and I’m sure everyone will get a chance to play

[smoky orbit]

This game looks so good, remember hearing about it before but saw testing available and I had to request and join lol

[quick sage]

[loud kindle]

so im confused the devs said it would be story focused like valheim, valheim isnt story focused if you ask me its just kill a boss move to the next biome

[ionic sun]

I mean valheims story is through the environment and enemies you kill kind of like eldenring. Not very dialogue based. But this game is a pve story driven game with coop elements for the most part

[loud kindle]

oh bummer

what story is valheim giving? kill the ancient bosses

[ionic sun]

The game is a cross between eldenring and valhiem

With a pirate theme and light multiplayer elements that will be expanded on marching towards an mmo-lite

[loud kindle]

i never played elden ring, but i didnt really get any story out of valheim at release. Seemed like there would be more here with tortuga i figured there might be npcs to help with the multiple factions at war?

im fine without it just got that impression

[viscid barn]

We will see. Let the devs cook and then we can give feedback

[timber zealot]

Valheim hasn't released yet. Just saying. Look at how far Valheim has came since it first came out till now. Just got to give them time.

[narrow sentinel]

Valheim is so fun but not really solo

[loud kindle]

valheim did some new things, but ill take enshrouded over valheim

[narrow sentinel]

Is enshrouded out? The building looked hella fun

[loud kindle]

just my opinion

yeah its good

[ionic sun]

I mean this looks like a pirate themed pve basebuilding boss fighting game seems great to me. Ima get 50 hours out of the pve on launch and if the PvP is great who knows how many hours

[blazing jungle]

0.o been out for a bit now 😄 think it's still getting content updates. I only played into it for a bit cause I couldn't get my friends to play with me, but it was fun. character build customization was nice, and you can basically terraform and build wherever you like. I found a rundown old house I basically boarded up to live in for my first base

[merry idol]

it is fun .. but again its weird... .lol

i feel all the building games dont have good PVE / RP elements.. like where in the old days you could farm stuff and then sell it for gold ... i dont know why they all removed that.. but im old i use to play UO and i was forging TONS of daguers for gold to get a horse lol

[narrow sentinel]

I'll definitely have to check it out

[low oyster]

Did they annouce who won the playtest giveaway yet?

[quick sage]

Damn, didn't find my name in there

[fast orchid]

#│announcements message

Bottom of the dev blog

[blazing jungle]

The passive tree is my favorite part. It goes into your kinda typical mage/figher/rogue/ranger archetypes, but you can poke into the different areas, so last time I played I had some sneaky rogue type abilities, but also turned my dodge roll into a blink with the mage tree and got some 2hander bonus so I could sneak attack with heavy weapons lol

[merry idol]

how many was allowed?

[low oyster]

100

[merry idol]

what?!?!? 80k sign up ...; lol

[low oyster]

the give away was for if you commmented what tags they should have, 80k signed up which they doing more through steam but out of the 80k, only 2k commented on the post and they gave away 100 to those people

[merry idol]

Ahhh got ya!

[low oyster]

It doesnt matter how many sign up. If thier servers arent ready for a mass group, they wont flood them and break it while testing.

[merry idol]

No for sure! and i also am really glad they are taking that in the balance! as they said in the X " there is no use in an undercooked pirate game matey! " the thing is i love game dev who do care abvout there game! and lately there has been a lack of it .... so many games has been just toss aside for no raison .. some cash grab dev i imagine

[last osprey]

Too bad everyone that got a key couldn't invite 1 friend to join them. Tough to test out the co-op mechanics otherwise!

[blazing jungle]

Gotta make some friends

dear devs i don't know if this wil be part of the game but may i recommand adding studding sails for travel speed if that is possible? would be amazing! 🙏

[long cedar]

[smoky orbit]

Responses in that devblog are... crazy lol

[tardy sleet]

its season 1 atlas

[molten arch]

hi

[narrow sentinel]

Studding sails make a ship so much more menacing, one of my favorite creative choices in the ship designs of AC4

[molten arch]

are they accepting Playtest requests atm ?

[narrow sentinel]

You can request via the steam page, as well as provide tags for a chance to get a key since I believe they are doing a 2nd round of them #│game-updates message

[molten arch]

ty, i did request in steam
i'll look into the "provide tags" cause i have no idea what that means

[narrow sentinel]

Every steam game has tags which help players know what type of game it is, and showcase the game when those specific tags are searched

[molten arch]

i just did , tysm for the info
so excited to play

"Winners will be announced next Friday, March 28th!"
hopfuly i am not late

[steady linden]

you are

[river night]

For Igor how funny jack rackham was in this show

[marsh ruin]

correct me if im wrong but is this sea of thieves mixed with rust?

[nimble mauve]

yes

[river night]

No, this is a co-op pirate survival game with PvP zones

[long cedar]

not rust no, no base raiding that i know of

[river night]

No base raiding, no forced multi crew

[long cedar]

like Lost Ark island base imo and sea of thieves but no pvp unless you go to an area for that

someone said more valheim-ish

[river night]

Valheim is a good example I feel

[narrow sentinel]

Being mentioned by the devs multiple times I'm sure it shares more similarities to Valheim than SoT or Atlas

[river night]

I live valheim man… and I’ve always wanted a pirate game like this… to take my fav survival game and my fav setting? Shooooot

You and I are gonna be good friends I can tell. Wanna start a fleet Mayhaps?

[surreal sierra]

Never got the chance to play valheim. A good friend of mine loved it and would stream his game to me regularly. Gotta say it looks like a ton of fun

[river night]

Bro it’s great, I’m tellin you some of the most fun I’ve had in a WHILE was on that game

[surreal sierra]

I’ll have to see about getting it for myself in that case. I’ve only heard good things about it

[narrow sentinel]

I'll sail with anyone, these games are best when you've a few folks to play with

[narrow sentinel]

I had some good fun with it, a lot better if you have some people to play with though

[river night]

Very true

[river night]

What kinda playstyle you trying to go for?

[surreal sierra]

Aye. I think once I move on from DSS when this game comes out you and I will sail together plenty

[narrow sentinel]

Honestly just B line ship progression and make a dope base

[surreal sierra]

Bro I’m in it for the naval and base building. I got so many base ideas I wanna try. One of them being a full on naval fort

[edgy saddle]

😄

[slate thorn]

I also hope they allow us to make stern flags😇

Same lol, B line up to a two mast then switch over to basing

A way to make custom flags would be cool, preset emblems and colors to mix and match

Gonna make this a suggestion

#1355321342223716372

[narrow sentinel]

Haven't seen a two masted ship showcased yet, I wonder what they have in mind for it probably a ketch or a brig

A ketch could be a good runner up after a brig, access to mortars and such

[obtuse hawk]

Yeah even with their previous testing they mentioned Valheim

[tawdry sky]

Don't they already have a subreddit?

[burnt bane]

Its a theme for that sub reddit

[wind violet]

Did they announce the winners on Steam yet?

[burnt bane]

Yep

[tawdry sky]

Yes, check out #│announcements

[loud kindle]

i agree and i will enjoy that too. the problem is they are saying its a story based pve game with story based dlc content makes it sound like eso questing or something to me, im sure im not alone. I would recommend not advertising it that way if it isnt that way. but once again thats just my opinion

btw the butcher looks really cool

[short basalt]

A bomb ketch would make sense for base raiding

[ionic void]

Sad I didn’t win the tag contest and hoping for other chances to gain access

Heck let me pay for access….

[short basalt]

I’m curious as to how creative people will get with base building, i would like to see some pretty and aesthetic structures instead of plain basic ones that you would see in Rust and Ark etc

[narrow sentinel]

I'll be going for a very dock centered base I got some cool ideas for it

[river night]

There has been in the trailers, looks like a brigantine of some kind

[short basalt]

Same, my game plan is to find somewhere nice and scenic for my base. I would like to try make something similar to the great inagua/cove in BF with a nice shipyard

[narrow sentinel]

I wonder if player islands are procedurally generated

[short basalt]

I would like to see some more typical cove/cave locations that we can hide our ships inside. Maybe even a waterfall

[distant mountain]

You need to sacrifice your soul

Ooh we will reach 2k today

[placid mulch]

Hey does anyone know if the pvp In this game is gonna be like once human and fallout 76 pvp where both people have to accept to fight before any damage can be done or is it gonna be on sight

[narrow sentinel]

https://discord.com/channels/1260209458924224542/1352225217350467614

Most likely "on sight" in pvp zones

[placid mulch]

Ooh ok so like once human thanks for letting me know

[narrow sentinel]

https://tenor.com/view/tip-hat-jack-sparrow-gif-18080055

[thorn creek]

In a pirate game id imagine everything would be on sight

Doesnt sound very pirate like if you do anything else

[narrow sentinel]

I'd argue otherwise considering npc's exist, a pirates a pirate wether they plunder a player or a npc merchant

[placid mulch]

I agree just have pve dedicated servers

[thorn creek]

I'm unsure what NPCs have to do with PLAYER vs PLAYER 😛 but i suppose some NPCs might be friendly.

I'm sure you'll find a friendly pirate too, but i wouldnt count on it in pvp

[placid mulch]

And if it is a Chinese game company I think they have laws in place against senseless violence that’s why once humans pvp is like a duel and they have zones

[narrow sentinel]

I figured you meant if a player chose not to engage with another it wasnt pirate like but I may of misread

[thorn creek]

I mean, if you dont engage thats one thing, but if someone is sailing towards you, i doubt its to have cookies

it'll be late / people will want to get off or just get to where they are going in zones for sure, but I'd expect to be hunted while in pvp zones. not chit chat

[placid mulch]

As a hot blooded patriot it ruins game when it’s not on site and marketed as a PvP game

[narrow sentinel]

This game is not marketed as a pvp game as far as I know

[placid mulch]

Good

[narrow sentinel]

I personally dont see issue with their current plan for pvp and pve, both sides have ample oppurtunity to play how they like

[wild river]

Have they explored something like New World. Where you can turn a pvp flag on or off. With reward bonuses for completing quests and milestones with pvp turned on?

[lament atlas]

This is the a rare occurrence.. Mace being active in chat

[narrow sentinel]

I'm active here almost every day, this server reminds me of when I joined snb so many fun things to discuss since its not out

[lament atlas]

[narrow sentinel]

[obtuse hawk]

Keep checking my emails…

[rugged flame]

With the difference that once Crosswind is released it will probably deliver what Skull & Bones didnt. A satisfying experience in a pirate setting.

[lofty basin]

always have to be patient.
it seems good so far. but first it gotta deliver.
if they can stick to their own values and believes I think it has really good chances.

[obtuse hawk]

Just love how active the devs have been on here and very grounded as well. Taking the time to answer all questions and even asking for our feedback and opinions. Breath of fresh air

[lofty basin]

oh definetly. it takes some courage as a dev to interact with some communities directly.

personally SnB has been doing a lot of Com feedback as well. Just in a very different way. and not as open open as here.

What I like about this project is that from the beginning they have their very own strong vision and are not afraid of saying "we want to do it that way, just tell us if it's fun" instead of taking full feedback and turning tails once things are not 100% accepted.

[full plaza]

Are playtests still being sent out? The steam post they made about reaching 80k playtest request makes it seem they are overwhelmed in the amount they can handle with sending out, this may have been misinterpreted but that's what I concluded? Note: I am so looking forward to the games release from a SOT and Rust player the mix of game styles sounds like a blast.

[glass apex]

This game looks pretty awesome. Been following for a bit, finally decided to join the discord.

[narrow sentinel]

Steam keys for normal requests on the page will come this next month, ones from submitting tags were released on the 28
Also I wouldn't say this is a mix of SoT and rust, that's a bit of a stretch from what's been said and shown

[obtuse hawk]

Even something simple as asking us to help with the steam page blurb builds camaraderie in the discord chat as we are all working towards a common goal. It’s not hidden away in some other discord channel for a select few, it’s open, raw and available to all.

it was on a thread on steam yes

how long does it take to get accepted on playtest?

[grand light]

We do not let anyone it (be it via keys or via Steam) before the playtest actually starts, and it will start most likely in early May.

[static copper]

that's what i was wondering not specific per person

[ionic sun]

yeah only im allowed to test things right now because im part of their super secret QA team comprised solely of amazing people who never lie like myself

for what? you dont have guaranteed access.... you get a chance to be selected by steam at random

its at random

[heady flame]

ok

[haughty hemlock]

Is it still possible to get access?

[full zephyr]

whens the release date?

[tawdry sky]

you can request for it on steam, and when they need more testers the steam pulls at random

[full zephyr]

how long does it take to request the game?

[solid geyser]

it should be open late april our start may

[lofty basin]

the Alpha test is currently scheduled for early may.

once we approach that time, steam will randomly select people from the pool of those that have requested accesss.

so yeah. plenty of time to request access!
but it's definetly not guaranteed as they got quite a lot of requests.
they will try their best to make it happen for as many players as possible though.

can i get the key fo me and my friend or its to late?

you can request access for the alpha in early may through the official steam page.
then all you need to do is be a bit lucky.

your friend should do the Same. Sadly it's limited and not all will be able to play straight ahead. but I am sure the team is dedicated to allow as many players as possible.

[wary egret]

[opaque token]

You need to access the game's page on Steam and click that you want to participate, then you can fill out a form that is here on Discord, @edgy saddle posted this above.

[wary egret]

where do i find the for, on discord?

[wary egret]

i did that, im still pending. does everyone get access and if so how long would it take to be accepted?

[long cedar]

Nope only maybe 8k planned so far

[hallow plover]

and how amyn requested?

[opaque token]

I believe they will do the same as Ubisoft with the Skull Bones insider program, there will be a specific day when they will open it to everyone at the same time.

[long cedar]

100 from contest and 8k from aignups. Last week already 40k

[surreal sierra]

The next play test will be mid April to May. Devs pushed it back to ensure quality for the next play test.

Spots are limited for the play test so you’ll have to wait for the next contest to try and get a spot. It’s not guaranteed for everyone but there will be more opportunities later on

[wary egret]

thanks

[hallow plover]

but how much keys do you get or only 1?

[edgy saddle]

🙏🙏

[wary egret]

hope i get access

So we'll have our beloved pirate-themed naval survivor mmo game after decades of waiting for something like this? Finally! You have no idea how much I'm looking forward to this! I'm really excited.

[edgy saddle]

I would be so happy if the game had a devkit, I would love to add more ships and structures to the game in the form of mods.

Don't be sad about it, most Brazilians don't know how to speak this language either.

[full zephyr]

when will i get the email ?

[cedar anchor]

I dont like french 😡

[alpine briar]

Pourquoi ? Why ?

[surreal sierra]

I’m quite jealous. I always struggled with learning languages and eventually just accepted my shortcoming. I started with German in high school then tried learning Italian at one point

[zealous apex]

I thought I'd find something to apply to playtest on this discord🥹

[torpid dirge]

I can never quite get my Chinese to a decent level, it's just this language is all or nothing (at least for me)

[cedar anchor]

I am truly curious about languages ​​and different cultures and histories of countries. I believe I will never become a polyglot, but today I think I can identify more than 20 languages, for example, I can identify if what is written is Chinese or Japanese, German or Norwegian, etc.

[cedar anchor]

One day I will study Chinese Mandarim, it is an ancient language with a fascinating history 🙂

[torpid dirge]

Indeed!

[grand yarrow]

My brain can't learn languages.. It only works in 1s and 0s.

[torpid dirge]

https://tenor.com/view/you-never-give-up-john-cena-wwe-wrestler-gif-16327900

[lofty basin]

I speak fluent German, English and meme

[grand yarrow]

Been in IT for almost 30 years...its the only language I know.

[lofty basin]

I had 8 years of French in school... I can tell you my name and that I like cheese

[torpid dirge]

I hate breaking the rules by going off-topic in the main channel, but I’ll just say this: learning a language is always about using it. If you don’t use it (or don’t see any purpose or practical application for the skill), you lose it. Simple as that. Same goes for fitness, practical skills, etc.

[cedar anchor]

I learned English by myself at home, and practiced by talking in online games. As the games ended, I stopped practicing and noticed a significant decline in my English.

[surreal sierra]

I went to school in china for just under 2 years and had to learn Mandarin during that time. I can honestly say it was the hardest language I ever gave the college try to.

[grand yarrow]

Back on topic, if you ever need an additional volunteers let me know. I dont have game design skillz, but i do have firewall, server, infrastructure stuff. And, I can't wait to play this thing. I'll work for a game key. 😉

[lofty basin]

I also offer my help. I can create memes

[grand yarrow]

No seriously, just looking forward to playing this thing.

[cedar anchor]

I can promote the game to the Atlas widows

[surreal sierra]

I offer my help to. IRL I work with big botes

[grand yarrow]

Good plan, and you'll have 100k people flock here, although people do like their tames in Atlas...lol

I assume the plan is the private servers are a much smaller world than the PVP world, or are they the same size just different...

Am I the only one that keeps watching the videos hoping to see new content that I might have missed in prior viewings? (Not obsessed, no, not...not obsessed.)

[torpid dirge]

Fingers crossed, more video content to be released soon 👀

[short basalt]

Aw man I remember this game. I remember trying to play it on my family’s ancient af desktop and getting 3 frames per second thinking it was the greatest game ever made

Good afternoon mates 🙂

@tame vine Ahoy and welcome! It enters playtest late April to Early May (they in creasing the quality for the playtest as well).

[tame vine]

yep I applied 🙂

[granite oxide]

@full zephyr for the playtest, steam will randomly select players when its time. As for the giveaway keys, those that won will get access same time, but their keys are guaranteed access**. Should be late April to Early May if all goes well.

[little shadow]

Hi
How ya doing fellers

[granite oxide]

@spark otter will be randomly selected by steam when its time for the playtest. Late April to Early May.

@little shadow hello mate! Doing great! How's your weekend?

Good, but feeling boring

Somehow, every day gets even more boring, idk 🤷

Hope ya don’t feel so bored like me

@tidal rain The playtest is suppose to launch in late April to Early May. Steam will randomly select players to join when its time for the test

[tidal rain]

i c

[ionic sun]

its no longer going to be in april mid may at the earliest now they decided to do some more polishing and bug fixing due to the crazy attention it got

[granite oxide]

@ionic sun its Could very well move further out, it was late April, then got pushed to late April, Early May due to the increased quality from the enormous response (Yar posted). Ill ask n see if that has changed since last posted.

[ionic sun]

yeah sounds good i mean im sure they will give us more details as we get close to the end of april. with the insane interest it generated im not too worried about getting an invite this round i like pvp so an invite in the later rounds would be fine too like eoy

Im thrilled with the step up, dont mind waiting for it 🙂

how is everyone tonight?

[distant mountain]

Im doing good even tho it ain’t night for me

[narrow sentinel]

Pretty good, got an exciting art piece to show later tonight

Have an idea for a game I plan on making and will probably start designing it tonight, quick thought was a game reminiscent of Carribean Admiral (old flash game) but in a very pretty pixel art style with more ships, customization and a more in depth storyline/progression

[viscid pier]

Hello! I really want to have early access! How do I get in!!??!!???

[sonic barn]

on steam

[viscid pier]

This game looks amazing!! Yeah I've applied but how do u increase ur chances?

[narrow sentinel]

Request via steam or suggest 5 tags through the link in the announcments, I believe theyre doimg a 2nd round of tag winners

(You can do both) #│game-updates message

[viscid pier]

Do I just make up tags and add them or just add existing ones?

[narrow sentinel]

Either or works, just 5 tags submitted that are relevant to the game

[viscid pier]

Man this is amazing! It's the very thing I want in a game! All the good rpg games put together with building and looting and bosses! Then to top it all off ur fken pirates! How good!! 🤯🤯🤯

[narrow sentinel]

https://tenor.com/view/agreed-pirates-of-the-carribean-gif-15127372

[viscid pier]

The best part is there aren't any good pirate games out. Skull and bones was a MASSIVE flop. Sea of thrives is just boring and repetitive. This is gonna pop! 🤙

[narrow sentinel]

If done right this game could do great

I hope the ship customization is in depth, I got some good ideas for some ship color combos

[granite oxide]

@viscid pier Just to clarify, The Early access will be handled by Steam. The selections will be random from the applicants for the playtest. The Guaranteed key giveaway that ended on 28th was posted for those that won it 🙂 They haven't mentioned any other additional key giveaways yet, but there's a bit of time between now and then with over 80,000 + playtest applicants. and Welcome Aboard for the ride! It's gonna be a good one 🙂

[sonic barn]

me too i hope we got a lot customization and a lot of different ship model

[narrow sentinel]

Give me a fluyt or give me death

[sonic barn]

i want big ship !

Do I got good news for you

[sonic barn]

thats what i looks yes this is great

how ya goin everyone

[sonic barn]

i dont know if thay can make the same of disney

[solid rain]

call it the plack bearl

[solid rain]

or a Man O'War

[molten arch]

can we own multiple ships tho

[sonic barn]

thats a good question

[viscid pier]

@narrow sentinel sweet as! Just by luck I guess ahaha

[obtuse hawk]

Hopefully I’ll have better luck in the next competition

[narrow sentinel]

Regardless well be able to watch gameplay as well, even if I don't get lucky just being able to see content daily will be great

[sonic barn]

i wish they not fail like skull and bones first trailer 2017 looks like that and finally a big garbage game ...

[obtuse hawk]

“There will be boarding actions. We can’t imagine a pirate game without boarding, and hopefully you’ll see its first very rough implementation on the playtest.”

[granite oxide]

@sonic barn everyone that played the first playtest have had so much good to say, even in the previous earlier state. So I'm pretty sure everyone is going to be very happy with the work they putting in for the next playtest.

[narrow sentinel]

Already the naval combat looks better just from this gif haha

Though guns do need to recoil at some point looks a bit weird like this

[sonic barn]

i like that remind me some gameplay preview of skull and bone 2017

[narrow sentinel]

Skull and Bones in 2017 looked a lot better than what they decided to do with it

[sonic barn]

i really dont know what they have thinking 🤬

long long time i have dream for a game like that boom they start to make one and after that they delete everything wtf lol

[granite oxide]

@sonic barn #1355568016552755272 message have you looked through the FAQ's yet?

[loud kindle]

digging the tatoos and character creator. naval combat seems to have a nice starting point as well looks fun!

[loud kindle]

that is sad if thats true as skull and bones is all based around ship combat

[narrow sentinel]

The ships felt like toys in a bath tub and weapons were pure fiction half the time

[loud kindle]

glad i skipped that one, im not a big fan of no ground combat. Although i tried that age of water that was ok

[granite oxide]

@loud kindle its not all ship combat - lot ground combat, exploration, building, fighting, etc. 🙂 I did Age of water for long time, was fun but lacked so much. They did put in ground stuff but very limited. Super excited to see what everyone thinks of the game overall during playtest,

[narrow sentinel]

What are you all most excited to see this playtest?

[granite oxide]

Everything 😛

@narrow sentinel I guess I'm most interested in 2 things mainly being its mainly PVE, the combat feel and the crafting systems

[narrow sentinel]

I'm hoping there will be storms, no better feeling than cresting a giant wave in a ship

Me encountering my first rogue wave in a little cutter https://tenor.com/view/the-perfect-storm-gif-12313689

[loud kindle]

i meant skull and bones, does it have ground combat now?

i am excited to see all the survival aspects, resource collection, basebuilding, crafting, and of course the ships

[granite oxide]

@loud kindle no

[narrow sentinel]

I've got some really cool ideas for a base, I wonder if player islands are pre-made or procedural

[warm sail]

i mean
im just planning on making some sort of pirate town with a coastal fort

[narrow sentinel]

I kind of want to do something janky looking

[distant mountain]

I’m back

[granite oxide]

@narrow sentinel that be a good question to ask the Dev's I'd imagine each area is basically same starting out - but you can manipulate the terrain.

[pastel bloom]

Heyyy I'm looking forward to the project I can't wait to play this game ! W devs

[surreal sierra]

Gm all. I hope everyone has a great day

[violet forge]

gm!
def excited to see crosswind. especially seeing pvp is not gonna be forced.

[granite oxide]

I like PVE and PVP, but It's good that it isn't forced, however, later when PVP is in place - if you go into a PVP area- you enter knowing you in a PVP area - no way to opt out at that point lol

but its a choice to participate or not - I have a feeling lot people not normally into PVP might want to try it as it isn't hard punishment. It's piracy after all 😄 So should be some PVP

[loud kindle]

see #3 here it says procedural #1355567727846228241 message

[loud kindle]

exactly this way it entices me to pvp when i wouldnt otherwise

[violet forge]

I play more pvp when its an addition. keeps me in the game longer overtime with the choice of pve/pvp.

[loud kindle]

for me if it was always on pvp i wouldnt even touch the game. but with a pvp zone i will partake

[surreal sierra]

I’d also argue that optional pvp encourages more players to try it on a regular basis. In sea of thieves everyone can be forced into PvP which a LOT of people hated. But if it’s optional I imagine more pve players will want to try it once they’re comfortable enough with the game

[sour latch]

No base raiding and looting in this game right?

pvp only happens in certain areas and only if you want to :)

The next playtest is taking place mid April-May. Devs pushed it back to ensure quality. Places for that test are limited. There will be another contest soon to award more guaranteed spots in the next test but it hasn’t been announced yet. OR steam will randomly select people when the test goes live but since it’s early alpha, being chosen isn’t guaranteed. There will be more spots open in the future.

nope. what kind of game is it?
congrats tho!

aside from graphics it looks a bit jank

the ship models look really good though

DID SOMEONE SAY PLAYTEST??

[lofty basin]

I've recently played a bit of pirate republic. it's a bit like a pirate anno

[loud kindle]

its not ready yet terrible frames almost unplayable

i had everything on low and still had terrible frames

[fast orchid]

Trying it on my own rig now lol

[sonic barn]

what pc spec you have ?

[fast orchid]

I'm terrible at remembering my part names so I just say enough to run cyberpunk with raytracing while being pleasing

[lofty basin]

I didn't get selected for it sadge

[loud kindle]

i have i7 9700k and amd 6800xt

[fast orchid]

Reminder for anyone who see's this conversation and is confused, we're talking about another pirate game called neverseas

Crosswind Playtest has not started yet

[loud kindle]

the tutorial ran ok for me but when i switched to the demo it got real bad

[narrow sentinel]

Yeah, at a glance it looks like theyve put a lot of time into visuals instead of performance and gameplay

Which can be reperable if done right

[wild river]

I was typing the same thing when I saw that, lol

[rugged flame]

Neverseas may be appealing to some people but maybe its just me but i find it too out there with how it handles its game world.

The way they explain it is ''The game is an openworld pirate sandbox, which can change dynamically. Passing by an island you passed, returning in a couple of hours, you might return to find empty waves there, a naval battle taking place, or another island altogether.''

I dont know , it feels like a lack of consistency in the game world.

[narrow sentinel]

That's a weird route for an open world game

[wild river]

That would drive me crazy

[narrow sentinel]

Oh this island has some stuff I need but I'm in a combat running from someone, they get bored and bugger off and going back the island just poof

[wild river]

So, just NO consistent map? That sounds like a horrible idea

[rugged flame]

Yeah i dont know how to explain it but it makes everything less important and random ?

[rugged flame]

I dont think so , i pasted that part from its Steam page so its a reliable source.

[wild river]

Not trying to yuck someone's creative yum, but that sounds like a game killing idea

Who tf are you appealing to?

[rugged flame]

Yep , maybe other people have different opinions but it does not attract me.

[warm sail]

I mean, given that this is a 17xx type setting

[loud kindle]

yeah its basically just doing small missions

its extremely early still though

[warm sail]

And also given that there are supposed zones to do PVP cross server

I don't think that having a random map each server is a good idea

[rugged flame]

We are talking about Neverseas not Crosswind

[warm sail]

Oh
Ye na, alright then

[narrow sentinel]

I personally dont see how players arent partial to crosswinds pvp/pve system

[loud kindle]

yeah dont recommend neverseas looked cool though

[warm sail]

Yea, it ain't doing it for me

[loud kindle]

this is why we need crosswind asap

you know asap when its ready of course

[fast orchid]

ASIR

[lofty basin]

yeah crosswind devs. hurry uuuup. you totally don't have enough pressure with current hype 🤣

[rugged flame]

In my opinion , and im saying this not because im in this Discord channel ( i usually dont mind criticizing if its constructive ) Crosswind is really balanced when it comes to the fantastical elements and ''out there'' mechanics.

Neverseas and games like it throw you immediately in a world were you feel like you are living in a dream where islands vanish and whats not instead of that feeling that you are part of a world which can have strange things happen.

Crosswind still has the myth and mystery and leaves the door open for strange things and creatures but we are not living in their world ( game world ) , they are living in ours. It feels grounded with enough but not too much supernatural which makes it charming. I also noticed the special effects during fights and the boss scene feels still grounded while portraying supernatural beings and its not an explosion of bright colours emanating from weapons.

These over the top fantastical things are the elements i look for when watching a trailer and more often than not they are present in games and make me lose interest. People want a pirate game with some fantastical things happening not a fantasy game with some pirates.

[fast orchid]

btw, we should take more Neverseas chat to #🎭│offtopic

[rugged flame]

'' People want a pirate game with some fantastical things happening not a fantasy game with some pirates'' I should use this quote more often !

[narrow sentinel]

I want realistic if i see a single skeleton walking I'll riot!

[short basalt]

The worst thing that could happen is a delay

[lofty basin]

start rioting

[lofty basin]

actually this is a nice explanation.

I totally won't steal that.

[narrow sentinel]

Give me fluyt or give me death ngl if I cant watch my big ship booty bobbing up and down I don't think I'll be able to play..

Best stern design ever to touch the waves

[rugged flame]

I encourage you to use it as often as possible , this industry needs to understand that a pirate game is not a full on fantasy game.

[edgy saddle]

o/

[lofty basin]

I don't even know how many times I've tried to explain it similarly.

[knotty pier]

https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/3041230/view/505072089276874975?l=russian

[fast orchid]

Hope no one points out the trailer

[narrow sentinel]

Skeletons, krakens, ghost ships (not flying lol) sure
But please no neon glowing sails or flying dragons shooting plasma balls

[copper anchor]

how to get early accses guys

[lofty basin]

or the Bossfight

[fast orchid]

I'm ok with glowing sails as an optional thing but I can agree with the rest

[copper anchor]

??

[rugged flame]

Its more about the type of mystical beings present too , the age of sail is full of superstition and there are a lot of creatures that can be used but please no dwarves , elves and other beings that would make the game feel high fantasy.

[narrow sentinel]

Request access on steam and pray

[edgy saddle]

I want gore. Dismemberment. DEATH! ☠️

[narrow sentinel]

https://tenor.com/view/pirates-hang-johnny-depp-gif-5602160

[lofty basin]

at this point just make Warhammer naval game (it would sell well)

[violet forge]

we are impatient yet patient....

[fast orchid]

You're so mean, I'm a fan of Spectral and Necromantic designs is all 😠

[thick nacelle]

If we want a realistic pirate game then We just wont get a game, as the pirates we think of are nothing like the real ones lol

Shall just be merchants pretty much

[rugged flame]

Yep , but that is why its always important for game devs to have a strong vision of what they are creating. Does not mean that they are not flexible and listen to suggestions but game devs should follow their main vision more often and not sway and start putting dragons or manga characters in worlds that are not theirs.

[narrow sentinel]

even in SnB I went more traditional I couldnt get behind the glowing stuff

[lofty basin]

I'd play it.
gotta figure out the Meta to best scare traders to give me their wares without a fight.
then struck a deal how they can get back home safe

[rugged flame]

Which is why a realistic game with myhts and some supernatural is a good balance. Not a high fantasy setting tho , it does not need to be that and its not the way to go.

[surreal sierra]

So far from what we’ve seen from trailers, devs are JUST in that perfect balance between realistic and fantastical. Yes we have skeletons and big fauna, but we also have realistic ship design and combat

[lofty basin]

then manage cuts of my crew and make sure I'll stay captain by democratic rights.

[fast orchid]

Hey I said optional, I never said on enemies I just like using those designs because they fit my aesthetic is all

[lofty basin]

perosnally it's a bit too much fantasy for me even. but I came to the acceptance that I am just a silly old history purist that will never get that game.

[narrow sentinel]

I will see you and I will hunt you

[fast orchid]

Not with PVP being optional

[violet forge]

lol

[narrow sentinel]

https://tenor.com/view/table-hit-yakuza-hitting-table-walk-out-gif-15307369

[rugged flame]

I hear you , i would play a full historical game , my dream game would have been Atlas in a historical setting in the Caribbean. But like you said it needs a compromise.

I think Crosswind has the right idea about the balance needed tho , if they offer enough material to people who have your mindset than you will be more than willing to accept the supernatural stuff , even more if its not over the top.

[fast orchid]

Lmfao, saving that one for my next defeat

[granite oxide]

Whats everyone up too?

[fast orchid]

Playing No Man's Sky and being a Pirate there while watching One Piece with the S.O.

HBU?

[loud kindle]

im trying to find a game that will keep my interest and failing at it

[narrow sentinel]

world of sea battle is some good fun but the grind is a little annoying

[fast orchid]

If you want Pirates I might suggest Salt 2 or Buccaneers

[loud kindle]

i have salt 2 never got that far in it

[sonic barn]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CPkeDZXM098&ab_channel=Slevin

[fast orchid]

Not have I, it's very very grindy for a sandbox game

[loud kindle]

its cool though i like it

ill probably just wait for next voyagers of nera playtest on wednesday

[uneven vigil]

anyone have a estimite on the relese date

[obtuse hawk]

Same here! I’ve even hindered myself by only using normal looking cannons and not having any torpedoes or neon cannon balls

[obtuse hawk]

They are aiming for 2026 but didn’t say what month.

[uneven vigil]

Ok

[narrow sentinel]

Stern gallery looks a bit off but its a great model

[keen shadow]

Sorry to break into chatter, but thats our approach to slow "fast travel" stuff, as we tend to make game without loading screens except for first one 🙂

[fast orchid]

Hey, just wanted to say, I can see you're excited to talk about your game and yeah you're more than welcome to defend your game, I just suggest doing so in #🎭│offtopic as the crosswind general will be popping off with theories and stuff soon given the devs love of showcasing the upcoming playtest

[keen shadow]

100% agree, as thats other game channel 🙂
just wanted to to deny one single missunderstanding.

[warm sail]

S&b kinda killed my hopes and dreams

[warm sail]

I highly concur, allow me to paint the ship at least, but I draw the line when we start looking like a space ship on water

And in different colors as well, like an American Black/White pattern for the stripes

[fast orchid]

😦

[narrow sentinel]

[fast orchid]

You're just mean to be because I glow blue

I'm really into older dutch color schemes, dark brown red gunports with a nice green/teal upper stern

[fast orchid]

Careful what you wish for

[narrow sentinel]

Unrealistic colors are FORBIDDEN!

[rugged flame]

Fair enough , it makes sense and i would never want to make unproductive criticism of a work of art ( its what i consider video games ) i have a lot of respect for your commitment.

When it comes to tastes , im more into having a consistent world , knowing where the dangers are , where the friends are etc. Maybe its the history buff in me talking and comparing the game with what i think a region full of pirate and sailing activity should be.

[warm sail]

Ok, I feel that too

[warm sail]

It is a very nice color scheme

[narrow sentinel]

I think the De Zeven Provinciën could be a fun ship to add, 20 guns less than the Royal William that the current first rate is modeled after

[warm sail]

I mean

I'd be down for some Bermuda sloops and schooners to fiddle around with and have fun on

[narrow sentinel]

For pirating I want a pinnace or something they look sweet

[warm sail]

Mmh, Pinnace

[narrow sentinel]

Could be fun to nip at players with a small ship like this, but maybe throw some 32lb carronades on for a good stern rake

[river night]

Anyone wanna play skull and bones? Need some folks to help me get blueprints

Dear lord….

I'm very tempted to take you up on this

Just made sure the polar night had finished in case you were up to some old sea dog tricks!

[distant mountain]

Bam how are ya

[maiden flume]

is there a way to get the key still?

[distant mountain]

Through there steam on the game u can request access

[solid geyser]

has it been told about how you come by ships? do you buy them completly build our would it be build like in atlas?

[edgy saddle]

Bam is feeling Bamtastic

[sonic oracle]

how long does it take to get the access after i have requested it?

[surreal sierra]

The next playtest is taking place mid April-May. Devs pushed it back to ensure quality. Places for that test are limited. There will be another contest soon to award more guaranteed spots in the next test but it hasn’t been announced yet. OR steam will randomly select people when the test goes live but since it’s early alpha, being chosen isn’t guaranteed. There will be more spots open in the future.

[lofty basin]

completly build.
the goal is to have modifications later. but you worn build them part by part

[bleak shard]

Yipee

[edgy saddle]

@torpid dirge you scared me with that announcement

I hope you had a lovely weekend though! 🍻

[stone folio]

I bet the publishers are knocking the door down. If you don't already have one, I surely would not engage one.

[nimble wing]

I hope they still accept me and my friends

[tough bear]

Just hoping the Alpha doesn t take place 17th april weekend 🤣

[bold forum]

is it likely there will be an open playtest later down the line or just closed playtesting until release?

[surreal sierra]

I’m not surprised they’ve had to close applications. The sheer volume of people coming into the discord is evidence enough of how much this game is blowing up

[edgy saddle]

😄

[grand light]

Look it's not all set in stone, but I see it like this: we do a few playtests with increasing participants cap, and then somewhere closer to release maybe an open one. We shall see though. Surviving the first one is all I can think of now 😆

[dreamy prawn]

Just saw the announcement. Personally, I would have kept sign-ups live while there's a lot of interest in the game, and just informed on the number of alpha testers that will be chosen (once that number is ready). That way when you have a wider test/next test you already have a list of interested parties.

[grand light]

Yeah it started to grow exponentially on weekend, holy molly.

[surreal sierra]

And summer break is around the corner. It’s only going to get bigger.

[loud snow]

Game looks great that's why

[grand light]

We can always open them again later, if needed. For now tbh we just don't see much value either of us or for the interested players to keep them open anymore.

[bold forum]

Alright thanks for answering, im very excited to see how this game turns out but im not likely to participate in a closed playtest due to NDA, can't wait to unfurl my sails in this game :)

[surreal sierra]

I got all the time in the world because uni life gives me a lot of flexibility. But once schools are out for summer, LOTS of people will be arriving in waves

[grand light]

No no

There is no NDA

[dreamy prawn]

Understood..nice problem to have anyway! Congrats on the success 🙂

[grand light]

By closed I meant we are not letting everyone in

[lament atlas]

[grand light]

There is no NDA anymore.

[lament atlas]

https://tenor.com/view/it-became-personal-gif-18421837

[dreamy prawn]

I thought it would be limited for a few players anyway, these tests usually are. Maybe 100-500 in pre-alpha/alpha and scaling in later tests

[grand light]

Yeah, we plan to do a few of them, increasing the limits each time.

[dreamy prawn]

Maybe reserve some slots for streamers to give away on streams or something

[surreal sierra]

That’s exactly what’s gonna happen. The more tests and most stable the tests are, the more people will be allowed in

[grand light]

Also makes sense in regard to what we want to test.

[bold forum]

That's great news i am more likely to participate in later playtests. i am super excited for this game

[grand light]

Tbh I don't think it's a good idea fot the first alpha test. But a great idea for some later stage.

[dreamy prawn]

anyway, super excited for you!

[grand light]

Thank you all ❤️

[loud snow]

How many different biomes are there in the play test?

[grand light]

3

3 biomes 3 bosses

[surreal sierra]

@grand light I’m not in the next test unless there’s another contest. What exactly are you guys looking for at the current stage? I’d assume just bugs and feedback but are you guys looking for suggestion on additions? Areas to add new content not planned? Things to flesh out in current gameplay?

[wheat basin]

Haven't been this excited since the early testing days of sea of thieves and this looks far better, hope I get in!!!!

[grand light]

Excuse me, why are you sure you are not in the test? We haven't started it yet.

[wheat basin]

When roughly are you accepting people for the test?

[surreal sierra]

Because I wasn’t part of the random selection of the first one so far lol. Hoping I’ll be in the next. But any comment on what the aims are for the next playtest?

[tawdry sky]

You can still be selected at random by the steam tho for this upcoming test

[surreal sierra]

https://tenor.com/view/dr-house-house-gif-11916099077674228393

[dreamy prawn]

Just checked the FAQs (which are great and answered most of my questions) and maybe its too early to say, but when the game releases will you be releasing in early Access, or will the game be fully-complete?

[ivory ridge]

not my favorite idea this early but for sure down the road would be a good idea

[dreamy prawn]

I know its great for content creators (and also potential players wanting to join), I have seen quite a few games take that approach! Yeah, doesn't need to be this test but potentially further down the line it would be great 🙂

can't believe the game will be free to play, i'll be happy to buy all the in-game content such as skins and things I can!

[surreal sierra]

I saw PhuzzyBond in the comments on the trailer for crosswind saying he was looking forward to this game. I’ve followed Phuzzy for a couple of years now and he’s one of the good ones when it comes to sea of thieves streamers. I personally would like to see him and other content creators be able to show us their take on the early stages of development

[surreal sierra]

And YES!! This a thousand times. I’m more than happy to chip in for anything, be it in game stuff or to help development

[dreamy prawn]

Always happy to support games trying something new!

[edgy saddle]

Patience is key everyone 🙏

[surreal sierra]

I Been saying this since I joined.

[dreamy prawn]

Don't worry, most understand great games take time and are happy to wait (and spam you with enthusiasm in the mean time ha ha)

[edgy saddle]

For sure! 😄

[hybrid root]

So there has to be whispers of this coming to console... right? 🤔

[dreamy prawn]

Love this username btw ha ha! Very fitting 😛

[edgy saddle]

"A console release is definitely in our plans, but for now, our main priority is the PC version."

[edgy saddle]

😏 hehehehe! I also have my "guild" set up already. It's called "Black Sails" ⚔️

[hybrid root]

Wait really!? You just made my day a little less filled with scurvy mate!

[dreamy prawn]

Perfect!!!!

[edgy saddle]

:D, so yeah. Console is in their minds but right now their priority is PC. If everything is perfectly organized, no bugs/issues, you know? The "Smooth experience". They might focus on consoles as well.

[hybrid root]

Mines actually called the Grimm Trading Corp. Ironically 😅

[dreamy prawn]

No way!!

[edgy saddle]

Black Sails vs Grimm Trading Corp, I see I see.

[hybrid root]

So like post 2025 probs eh?

[edgy saddle]

I have no clue mate, probably 2026 somewhere but who knows!

[hybrid root]

I'll see you on the seas for that mate. This ain't sea of friends... oh wait wrong game 🤣🤣

[edgy saddle]

And if you guys have questions, just question-awayyyyy ⌛

[dreamy prawn]

I Think im going to have to join your guild ha ha

[hybrid root]

Well lad. We'd be Glad to have you. Just let ye be warned. Unless there's crossplat. We will be a console organization.

[dreamy prawn]

Awww 😦 im PC

[hybrid root]

Well let us both pray to cuthulu that it will be crossplat.

[hybrid root]

They mentioned valhiem as a big inspiration.. that's crossplat. I think Atlas was too. So there's hope.

[river night]

It’s highly likely that it will… don’t think I’ve seen many new games that aren’t even Indies

[edgy saddle]

This is what I could find regarding clan/guilds:

Yes, we do plan to have a clan/guild system as part of the MMO elements, but whether all members will be able to play in the same PvE world together? Not sure.

[hybrid root]

Well blacken my red beard.

I think I just sold myself on this game. I just hope the devs can keep their promises. Unlike another company cough cough amazon. 🤣

[surreal sierra]

Personally I’m very excited to see how player made guilds will work when put in the same seas. I’m already picturing player trading companies and player raiding companies battling it out for loot and resources on the high seas.

[hybrid root]

I think the sailing should have some sea of Thieves elements. Where the clan or crew or guild of whatever they call it has to man sails and cannons and the like. Imagine having a lookout in your crows nest and then he can relay where the enemies are coming from allowing you and your crew to plan to present a target or flee off the port side. God, yep. I'm in trouble 🤣🤣 I cannot wait to see evidence from the open alpha.

Wait. Are there any devs for cross in this discord?

[surreal sierra]

Me and my best pal had a great system on sea of thieves where he was very much gunnery and combat and he trusted to handle piloting and bilge/repairs. we were very good

[hybrid root]

Exactly my thought process on why it would be great for crosswind

[surreal sierra]

The ones conveniently labled ‘crosswind crew’ at the top right in the server member list.

[hybrid root]

Ah I'm on my phone so I haven't even seen the guest list yet.

[surreal sierra]

Ah of course. All good

Yar Master and Bambino make regular appearances in the chat. You’re likely to catch them at some point

[hybrid root]

Oh I'd love a chance to pick their brains. Alright. I'm off to start my day. But I'll check in with you scallywags later.

[surreal sierra]

Aye mate. Have a great day!

[narrow sentinel]

Original jackdaw ram concepts are.. something else

[surreal sierra]

Idk bro. I never liked how naval rams looked on colonial era sail ships. They look fine on ancient trireme type craft but on 1700/1800 sail ships? They look a lil out of place to me

I know the Spanish experimented with them in I think 1727 but never went beyond that iirc

[knotty spruce]

Yall mind checking out my feedback I just posted, it refers to the trading system between players. I wanted to see what yall thought 🫡🤔

we all need Piraguas they are the true pirate vessels

[surreal sierra]

Gave it some thought and actually and since pirates usually preferred smaller crafts, would be great to get stuff like cutters and sloops. Someone mentioned a Pinnance yesterday which would be great for doing quick missions.

Perhaps even some Brigantine patterns or smaller frigates would be great

[narrow sentinel]

Get me a slave ship that I'll capture and upgun to the point that I end up running it aground due to being overweight (iykyk)

[narrow sentinel]

I'm the pinnace guy, dont think pirates actually used them though I just think they look dope

[slate thorn]

pirates loved Piraguas , Sloops and barque longue's easy to move around and cheap to maintain

[surreal sierra]

Eh you’d think that but they were quite common around the Nassau area because they were so good at hopping from island to island quickly. Great for going from hideout to hideout.

I’ll need to dig around for the source but a Spanish traveller wrote about how some small groups of pirates were able to sneak around warships in shallow waters because of their negligible draught

[narrow sentinel]

Theres pinnace then theres pinnace

[surreal sierra]

It’s all fun and games until the big lad shows up

[slate thorn]

not in the shallows of the bahama's it wont XD

[narrow sentinel]

I loved the storm fortress but the sails are so corny

[surreal sierra]

Same. They should’ve stuck with blacked out sails like the royal fortune is AC4

[slate thorn]

rogue is underrated game i thought it was pretty fun

[narrow sentinel]

I love the morrigan, I have a tattoo in reference to it

[unborn ocean]

In the netherlands we say

Kleine boot is niet om bang van te worden😜

[surreal sierra]

No it is not, the small boat can be easily underestimated . The sloop was veeery common choice for pirates. Quick and could easily be outfitted with more guns

[slate thorn]

we also say Godverdomme mijn peuk is in mijn bier gevallen ;x
