it says mod next to his name
Yes I am. Could you please dm me a link to the stream and we'll look into it
similar to dunes world map and hagga basin system
@eager shoal lok at pinned - he said what he was planning to do with the ones he has
check pins
Yeah seems only streamer go keys and are selling them off. 9k bots 300 actual players. This is not a game I will support nor waste time and money.
dune burnout is real after t5 tho
ok bye
u cant really blame the devs for what streamers do

Pls link such streamers to mods, instead of hate on the game
Try as we might we cant please everyone
as a streamer its fun getting hate
Damn, this game is beautiful... Cranked everything to epic and 90% res scaling and im getting 60 fps on a 4070 super
na i have seen some good ppl streaming give the community keys
Runs so well
will this game be on geforce now
Ofcourse, but atleast people can hate the streamer instead of the game 😉
I hope I will be able to play the playtest. Sadly didnt get a key but from what I saw... Boi, this game will keep me busy big time.
Im so excited AAAAA
@surreal sierra where is community events? lulz
i wanna know if keys are handed out manually or set up automatically
cus like its night time for me do i still check my email or what
in planning stage right now. Im in the middle of moving house. they will commence as soon as Im settled in
automatically via steam
steam keys from steam are automatic, RNG
I have noticed some of these "missions" are difficult
Well, I like sot. It has the best PvPvE in my opinion. The story and the updates are an absolute lackluster for 2 years in sot but it wont replace sot. Because sot is different.
I want a survival game in a pirate world - And this game is what I always dreamed of.
damn criken has 2k viewers on crosswind rn
yeah sea of thieves has everything pristine perfect apart from story
I just want more pirate games in general
I'm looking to get that turn based strategy one that came out a while ago soon
and thats what made it a sub 60 hour game for me and my mates
bro idk anyone else who remembers pirates of the caribbean online, that game is why i know this game will pop
ac black flag was incredible
I remember.
It actually has some private servers going that I hop on every now and then
really?
I think the big one is called Pirate Legends?
It's not pristine.
The updates always break things, 3 seasons have been released in a buggy mess and they dont get stuff together (the same with skull and bones, but skull and bones is worse).
They are a big company and they BOTH fail to deliver something really great. Wanting to do a service game and dont deliver good stuff...
The only thing that was exciting in the last year was Flamehearts ship... Everything else... Well exists.
The Legend of Pirates Online
TLOPO yes
i didnt play long enough to see those updates
👀
for me nad my friends we enjoyed the whole learning process of the game fighting forts all that and then we were like what now?
Sea of thieves is far from perfect but it will always have a special place in my heart
The problem with SoT is, you level up your stuff and can customize your character to your liking. The customization is really cool and the gameplay (especially if you fight against other players) are good. IF both player are equal good.
They need to change how quests work big time (The pirate legend quests and the reapers quests were a good addition, yet too small) and need to give players more reasons to play the game.
We played the same map for over 6 years or something now... It's getting... Boring.
The update frequency of sot is WAY to slow...
But this is not the sot server, so enough of that. :3
think more islands what it missed
and i think these types of games pop when islands are heavyp opulated
just more zonesss
Cant wait for Crosswind. 
i remember barely seeing anyone ever at any one time
pirates of the caribbean online when you went to port royal there were looooooooooads of people there
im curious about the end game of crosswind
just chilling pvp playing board games card games
Well, I never played that game
missed out bud
Played runescape instead I guess xD
One more sea of thieves thing then I’m done lol, I think hourglass taking place in actual servers killed the amount of people you see as there are two ships doing that and not interacting with the world
I like this way of thinkin
Hourglass was such a... I dont know. It was kinda cool but missed the point of SoT drastically.
While yes, its cool to fight against people... But you have no reason on why.
There is no gold or anything.- Just diving, fighting, diving, fighting...
SoT got super boring. Same old recycled content and nothing endgame for long term players. Me and a buddy did everything, hit PL and then, that was it. Game is SUPER stale for me
blueballed again 💔
I Play sea of thieves from day 1 and I love the Pirat live but now im so happy because maybe I have a other good Pirat game. Sea of thieves is always the Same I have all cosmetics in SOO and have so much Gold and other Stuff but I can do nothing with Gold ect.
hourglass was not good. that's all i'll say
Plus locking the most wanted curses behind it discouraged a lot of players
from what I understand, tech debt is hitting them hard
Yeap. I always like the gameplay part of sea of thieves and chilling in it. But I get when people think its boring because of - YOU have no Direction. Not at all.
Well, if they would bring good updates, more reasons to play, more cool skins in the shop instead locking stuff that should be for gameplay unlocks behind money.. No one will like it.
And wont invest in it.
hardest enemy i've seen in crosswinds so far is the pork
I liked that its sandbox. but when Ive dont hundreds of hours of grinding, doing every single piece of story content for maybe a reskinned cutlass, then there nothing else to do. Am I expected to just, sit at port and stare at my screen doing nothing?
yeah, and they have to keep the lights on and justify their server use
so its a tightrope they have to walk
I just got so tired of it
@mild obsidian wolves are nasty - but the Sunken and Pirates hit hard
once you get to pirate legend you have to either enjoy the game at its bare mechanical charm or you'll quickly burn out
I stick to SoT because it has the best feeling sailing ever made in a game
That biggest pork, with its roll spam attack is insane ngl
I mean hey, if you've ever seen a wild boar in person
scary animals
they taste really good tho
other than requesting access on steam how do i acquire a key for this game?
playtest statistics : most player deaths caused by Boar
One of them, showed me the whole island while attacking me. Raggdold everywhere
This is also true
its the large prey animals of the wilds you have to watch yourself around
because they can get food without hunting they have the least concern about wasting energy messing you up before you hurt them
Worlds first NA pvp battle goes to @fast orchid . Man rocked my ship and murdered me good 😦
nice
It's about to go down again on his stream
I'm on a stream trying to get a key
I'm loading in now
i want key so bad
me to
i have been waiting for this type of game since pirates of the burning sea went away
I reckon I could deck a moose like Ty Lee by hitting its nerves and toppling it in 3 hits

80% all guys in the discord need a key 😦
thankfully not a guy
I desperately want a key but I can be patient for opportunties
i dont undertand how to get one
wait and hope
oh
make sure to request one on steam and then wait and hope
and then see them update how many people are playing and realize you are not one
Im gonna be honest while I agree that giving the active and invested people in discord keys would be a better choice as many have pointed out. We gotta remember the main method of getting access is via steam, a completely seperate program and platform. So while giving out keys in discord via giveaways and streamers works for small numbers, handing out 9 thousand access keys on a social platform one by one to avoid bots just isnt viable. Could you picture having to dm 9 thousand people one by one? Just not do-able. Even with bots because they tend to break
Sign up on Steam, and hope that when more slots open up Steam selects you - its completely random. Also watch the #│announcements and #│game-updates for Dev key giveaways. Watch Streamers giving keys away, and also keep an eye out on chat as some people here have a few keys to give out at different times. Keep in mind there nearly 300,000 people signed up for playtest on Steam.
Had to do it on phone lol. That's why it looks weird. But that's my current stream setup
300k allready. Its growing fast.. just like the dc almost doubled in a week xD
Yep and it'll most likely pass that over the weekend.
damb. over 8k members. I remember when we were so slow to break 5k
Within a few days we will celebrate 10k
just so everyone here knows i deserve a key more. /s
Or they should make the bot like that, everyone beggin in discord for a key cant get one Kappa
I hope they add ramming, just watched two cutters just kinda bump into each other
0 damage 
I'm watching wolves kill someone
ram strat best strat
Ye you kinda stuck someone with ur boat. Ez game
naval battles are one of my favorite types of gameplay
do they have trading in this ?
i agree, i hope they add more depth to it
I suck at the ground combat in Crosswind. Naval is my bread and butter
also with having more people on your ship being able to do individual things, seems they have no real role besides fodder for boarding attempts. not able to repair/man cannons/etc
im sure it'll be expanded on tho
that's tooo bad would like to see more to do like what you mentioned
I started sniping boars with the pistol. Its not that hard…
captain shouldnt have to focus on repairs if you have other ppl on board. and of course let him control cannons still, but have extras for the others on board to operate themselves
as in having an npc crew? or coop players able to do things like man cannons or sails
coop players
Ah I see. Its ben discussed many time. Its on the devs radar but no word on implimentatio or planning at this stage
MAN i cannot type today
new keybaord messing /w me
Its time to sleep tho, try again tomorrow
I can see that being an issue for retention if not implemented, but they have a lot of time to do so
we're still day 4? of the alpha. Full release isnt until late next year. They got time to cook
yea exactly
boarding is cool tho, all the npcs assist
that's one unique thing i've never seen before
so even if ur solo ur not screwed against a fully pvp manned galleon
Anyways with that I am going to go to bed. Long day of moving my stuff out of my old place. Hopefully moving into my new apartment in a week or two.
I plan to commence community events as soon as Im moved in. Keys will be given to winners. Ill try to think of rewards for other participants
byt that tiem the alpha will be over
4 week long alpha
potentially 2 week long break.
Still plenty of time to play
Really hoping to get a key, I’ve probably checked my email more in the last week or so than the entire previous year
check your library first. Itll appear there before you receive the email
Right. goodnight all. See you tomorrow
i typed cross and only crossout appeared 💀
._.
I’m away from my laptop for the next two days and this is how I figure that out
is the buccaneer set worth reinforcing or should i be getting better armor
Well i gained 3 followers while streaming CW so thats a good thing 😄
your welcome
keep up the good work
Still gonna play more..just ended stream so i can be a bit more chill
booo
I want to stream crosswind so bad too, but no key yet unfortunately
it looks heeellaa fun
same
we syill cant pvp ?
Me and seawaver are right now
Is there underwater content??
none presently that i know of.
not right now, you can also only swim in the water surface rn, no diving
Thank you guys, hope this come on a future update!
good night 
keelhauling when
Yo, you should eat something. You are starving
theres hunger bar?
my base will be safe for tonight 😄
I dont know, but it states "verhungert", meaning in german starving xD
pewpew
you only have lower HP - you dont die
Oh, that's a bummer.
Like the survival aspect of having to eat and drink so you dont die. 😛
Ooooh, so is base attacks a thing? (Like in conan exiles)
Food buffs your hp and stamina in various ways and combinations depending on the food you choose
no 😄 but i am prepared xD
Ah damn, I hope this will become a thing not just for PvP.
Because I love games where you need to build a base and you can get attacked.
@bold rain no - you cannot raid other peoples island homes - the pvp will come later in the open world area beyond the HUB. We don't know yet if they are allowing base building in the pvp area yet or not for raiding. - That's something we will have to wait on from the dev's for another time. But you cannot be raided on your personal island areas by players.
Oh, thanks for the answer! And what about PvE base attacks? Will this be a thing or not?
@bold rain that is something will have to wait and see on - At the moment no- but this is early Alpha and we will have to wait for other playtest to see what else they have in store for us. There will be many playtest before release.
Oh alright. Im excited for it! The game already looks absolutely stunning and the fighting seems very interesting too!
how to play beta
wait fro alpha to finish?
they drop keys yet?
i dont even know how to request any key
Go to the Crosswind page and request access and hope the RNGesus selects you in the random selection
they drop keys for beta or alpha ?
Hey!
hmm
Welcome!
Hi
can u send me their link, i cant find it man
i only found the game in steam and requsted it there
Thats it
MAAAN just did a walk through, looks pretty good
How is a cutlass different from a normal saber?
Typically shorter and with a wider blade iirc
My buddy was one of the 100 winners of a key weeks ago from the steam tag contest but never heard from anyone... any ideas how he redeems?
Is area damage better than melee damage for target damage?
I wouldn’t know specific numbers I’m afraid. I just go straight for melee for the most part
@night zenith ^^^
thought you went to beed
I did. Can’t sleep
beautiful
because you know I haven't gotten a key yet and it makes you to sad to sleep?
whats weapon you use?
this game is soooo good
nope, no such friend request :(.
Is crosswind? I hear the rapier is good, but I never progressed far enough to use it extensively
Give it time. Also double check exact name and all in the list of winners. If nothing arrives with a day or two make a post in #1298615357937942559
give it time ? its been since march 28th lol, ok i will give it.,.. more time 😛
hmmm
It’s all I can suggest right now
no worries, thanks. i just got reminded of it today. all good thanks for the help.
alpha
this one ?
yes
aah ty
It is addictive
yea I bet
how do i get a key 🙁
pray to whatever god or gods you believe in
So just got in and played for about an hour and a half and so far really enjoying! im taking notes, is there a feed back section on here
Is there a way to pass time at night? Like sleep in bed?
Thanks lol 😂
Been to the cited playing and just joined discord to scroll. Down
Is there a Field of view slider yet?
getting started with this big project
Oooo, good to know it works
it works but its pretty hard to build into this islands
constanly sliding in every angle
ThatÄs prettay
thanks ❤️
Woops
are there different ships u can get in alphao r just 1 type
just laying the foundations now
It's looking good tho
yes it is
thanks mate
NPC's blocking doorways is annoying
put it in feedback tab
Doors stuck
lol
I joined cuz i miss playing the pirate game, just like blag flag xd
And finished the entire movie of pirates of the caribbean few days ago kekw
anyone from brasil?
im bugged
Hello, I want to report a bug, after creating my character and doing the tutorial I just got to the part after eating where they make you fight an NPC, well I quit in that part right in the middle of the fight for a personal reason I had to press alt f4 and quit, now I wanted to try it again but it bugged, I still got behind in the part where they make you eat but I don't have the food and the tutorial gives me the combat tutorial, attack block and target lock, when I go back in it tells me to keep moving forward, I talk to Doctor Galen but he doesn't give me the food, he tells me to continue moving forward but I can't move forward because the structure that breaks by itself when I eat doesn't break because I don't have food xD I'm stuck at the beginning help
Delete character and start over?
I want to report a big, I requested access months ago and still haven't got it
HOW?
When I press play it starts in the tutorial, there is no option to delete characters
fr how many people are still waiting for access
like 200k
Thanks for stream sharing @onyx drift this game looks amazing. Can't wait to play it!
Don't quit during the tutorial or you won't be able to play, make sure you have enough time before playing, otherwise you will get stuck at the beginning without being able to advance in any way
giggles
of course my name is the one that the giveaway was just about to stop on then goes 1 more 😦
Well, at least they tried
Choose a different server?
You can fix that issue i think
on bottom right there should be a "reset account"
if you do that you basically start from the beginning on character creation
i had to do that when i screwed up my first character i made
hello i am looking for a key and here is why you should give me one:
- submits great bug reports and feedback to developers
- active player with no life
- skilled at walking on a peg leg
- does not get sea sick
- mature emotionally and physically so i am not likely to get scurvy
thank you for your time and consideration YARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
another key wasted 😛
.>
are the opening up for any more testers do we no?
Yeah they slowly are added more people to be able to play
Would love to test this myself.
the modded Ark think i will pass
Go touch some grass lol j/k
My buddy has 10k im a rookie
Holy cow!
it was good at first, then they ruined it.
Just throwing my hat in the ring for a key. This kinda thing is my bag baby!
Atlas turned out to be very disappointing
Someone messed up in tutorial, wasnt able to play and left after uninstalling CW before getting help
They arnt in discord anymore i dont think
and yet I can't get a key 😦
what an idiot and waste of a key
face problem in early alpha build > make one message about it and dont give any reasonable time for anyone to respond > unisntall and leave server
yeah the world we live in these days...makes you wonder how they survive a single day
yah bad form!
Oooo new rare headpiece
very nice
How long do we have in the play test? Wana make sure I get as much play as I can
Spoilered the actual item for those who don't want to see it's properties yet

So whats the largest vessel in the game at the moment any one know?
To sail the frigate, to see the battleship
Oh nice!

Can actually Captain at the moment
Do trees in the game respawn? I've deforested half this island lol
then yeah the Frigate
how do i find tortuga?
Progress in the main quest
run around yellin tortuga
So from what I saw of the game play from a friend streaming over discord, this looks like its on the right course! So happy someone finally started a project like this one!
How do I find a key? :3
sign up on steam and then pray to the RNG gods.
RIP, he was so funny during covid
Already am. 😄
This was kinda a joke on the "where do I find Tortuga" question in hopes I then suddenly get accesss to the game because of destiny or something.
Huh, why did my Emote got removed? T_T
wow
For once wasn't me

fro once

(Sounds dumb but) swear words. If we can’t swear in text, makes no sense to allow it with gifs

wife and daughter loved watching Leslie Jordan during Covid. lol
Because of the s word? O_O
What the
No stay up and play with us
hey jeez is back
Flip
im still playing but alone 😦
Only because it’s literally too hot in my room to sleep
Am gonna get some ice water and try again
I have a fan next to me while I sleep
Blasting on full speed xD
Tell ya what I'm a certified ac tech give me a key ill help ya out

For my gaming room I have AC but for sleeping no
I would love to play but I cant. D:
My whole house is 68
i fixed that, i sleep in the gaming room
I cant, its too small and my chair... Well needs to be replaced. xD
thats what she said
Almost broke it completely yesterday while playing pirate on for honor
Corn....
mine does also, i even have a brand new one in a box...afraid to replace it until my surgery, what if the new one makes my leg go numb lol
Oh, that would not be good. Yea waiting is a good choice.
I dont dislike corn but I also dont like it.
I like the plant tho! 😄
thats crazy
No, thats crazy.
New lemur cat just dropped
Playtest still open?
Have you tried verifying file integrity while vpn is off
this fixes most problems on Steam, but not all
don't be surprised if it doesn't fix this specific issue since it sounds like a server side thing
what do i need to unlock to get a backpack lol
School
pirate school?
Any solution for ping being 180?
Change the ping setting to 120
stop using mcdonalds internet
Should be enough. (:
Ngl I'd love a key but my gpu on my laptop is fried so I doubt id even be able to play lol
on a random note, the name color for moderators is the most beautiful gold color ive seen on discord so far
I didn't even know you could have a gradient like that
Ahhhhhh I want in the playtestttttt lol Id legit pay 20 dollars to just playtest! I have been waiting forever for a game like this.
The flintlock firing delay looks so satisfying ngl
I'm in love with the hybrid realistic/cartoon styling. Like pirate borderlands
I will be blessed if I get a key
I have done over 60 playtests this year, and this has got to be the most exciting so fingers crossed they are still adding to playtest!
They are
just heard about this game and now im here lol
i would be the MOST blessed if i got one
is it hard to get one?
so far access is pretty rare
but its going to be a long test
oh ok cool. from what I saw it looks pretty cool. I'll definitly keep my eye on this one.
hi where do u have the chanse to get a keye ? registartion via steam?
key* Registration*
Welcome aboard matey!
how does one open the stone gates to the temple
im chronically depressed i still havent gotten access
Gotta ||search point's on intrest and find 6 ritual keys||
SO MANY
It's not that bad I have lie 14
I struggle so much fighting the drowners
You should be getting little treasures
I havent no, literally nothing happens
If I select the alter again it just says it wont take another offering
the cutter black is LIT
you can customize??
its a quest reward
I enjoyed streaming Crosswind earlier. Hopefully I'll get accepted into the Content Creators department now that I know I can stream again.
Me and my buddy just hit the pvp arena the ship combat was fun
Nice
Server still grows
thanks i just bult the annvil i love these mechanics
Same
cant wait til later on when i can build a huge base and have like a blacksmiths room and stuff and have it looking nice
Meanwhile I'm still just unlocking the jewelry bench
oh I must look so pretty. A pretty pirate
Jk jk 🤣🤣
i dont have that yet thats cool havent even seen the jewels
Listen if I'm gonna dominate the swamp I'm gonna do so looking like a pretty pirate princess
I just die all the time lmfao

Bye
Sweet dreams
Do you ever sleep, Buzz?
Ahoy!
Ahoy !
its my birthday give me a key 🙂
i guarantee if they started selling early access keys for 10 bucks theyd probably make a million bucks lol
me and all of my friends want to play so bad - none of the 5 of us have access yet
Morning 🌄
i had a message from steam but it was for another game
And with that I bid you all goodnight
goodnight @noble herald
I'm a streamer looking to stream this how I get a alpha code my steam is NMZ42013
nice
Thank you just filled it out
how does one get invited?
I need a Pirate Survival MMO in my life so bad though! hopefully I can get access through the wishlists...
@tidal moon https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfr1A12dFbBSXBtvmsrPtqe9cSFPaPs9M5LdZ5nAyL8RXJkow/viewform and look at the bottom of pinned messages
Welcome aboard, creator!
Thanks for your interest in Crosswind! This short survey will help us get to know you, your content, and how we can best support you during the upcoming playtest.
It’ll only take a few minutes to fill out — and we’re genuinely excited to learn more about you! If selected, we’ll reach out ahead of the playtest ...
already filled that out just waiting now
I filled that out I'm just waiting now thanks @granite oxide
Gooooodmorning!
Same here
it's getting quiet out there on twitch now
Morning guys! Any new luckers?:D
WIP
Goodmorning! nope no luck
Sadly not
It's not really an mmo
Eventually it will be kinda lika an MMO lite, but the alpha is mostly single player or small group co-op
Look at the first post in the FAQ its very informative about the server structure
@modest oxide you exploring the seas ?
Currently mining and building but yes lol
nice !
the normal ones don't seem to bad cause you can dodge them pretty easy but those big ones that belly flop on you are a real conundrum
so rip for us who want to play this hella bad lmao
@narrow sentinel You discovered the Hyper boars lol - side step them when thy go to do their ability and hit them quick when they belly up
i need to hunt dodosssssss
I'm no wuss I will headbutt them back
i think dodos kills 100% o people played the game
I definitely underestimated them
Goood morning gens
Gm to you
Good Morning
and to you
compare to ark, how the pvp is on that game ?
ARk and PVP is just ridicilous.
ye lol 😄
nope
its full pve yet
But PvP is not really there. You can fight other players somehow (see the stream of seaweaver) but its full pve right now
damn
bro go check FAQ discord section
If you look into the FAQ, they want to have "zones" where you can PvP, but raiding bases seems to niot be in the game ever.
is this game 3rd person only?
I kinda would love to have a option enabled that lets you getting raided, while not necessarily destroying the base entirely, but I think it will not be a thing.
yes
Hi all, new here to the server but saw this really exciting game on YT. Looking forward for it's release!
thats sad
much better
No one wants bs troll open survival anymore
personal worlds with shared hubs will be much better
Having actual fun PvP - Is almost impossible.
The only PvP game that is actual fun are either Battle Royale games, Open World game where PvP CAN happen but rarely do happen (Sea of Thieves) and those, where it is fully optional.
There defintely will not be any base raiding pvp on player areas - those are exclusive to the player and who they choose to let join their world.
Forced PvP Is ALWAYS bad.
any pvp video?
Seaweavers stream. NA PvP.
well on ark u can choose pvp or pve so is not forced
i am a mainly pvp player in most games that have the option, and I agree
Later on once the MMO elements come into play at the HUB where players join together there wil be pvp and pve raiding content
PvP in ARk is only fun if you play it for funsies with friends.
Give them time to cook up what they going to do with pvp - that will come at a later time on another playtest
Direct people to the first post in the FAQ it explains everything sooo well
So PvE Raid will be a thing? 
This explains it much better , see these 2 post from the Dev's #💬│windrose-chat message and also here #💬│windrose-chat message
I'm already here for the exploration and Biome unlock gameplay - But having actual raids on my base will be the icing on the cake. I absolutely love the PvE Raid System Conan has. You build and make progress and eventually PvE enemies attack your base so you need crew to defend it.
It's so gooood
This is only an early alpha, the purpose of this was mainly to test the survival mechanics and combat in the world you explore. Crafting, building, sailing, etc.
is there 1st person combat? or 3rd only.
What I would find interesting on the PvPvE side of Crosswind - Would it be possible to have a huge server where every player can join, there you can join a faction (pirate, Navy, other faction) and you have one big map with section that everyone fights over.
weird
Or hell, story wise there is a huge faction war between big pirate lords that wants to be kings or something like that
One the big things in the game will be base building to your hearts content with lot of deco, cosmetic kits n skins, etc to come later. I'm pretty sure that won't be raided. However there may be mechanics put into play later where your base gets hit like in Valheim and you have to set defenses up around your perimeter - that we don't know yet - but it sure would be cool. We don't know the extent of what they plan to do so will just have to wait and see what they cook up - Release isn't planned until the end of 2026. so there will be a lot more playtest.
until the end of 2026 boy... So much time. T_T
@golden token on your ship you can press F to switch beteen 1st n 3rd person combat
Well, I'm happy they are taking their time to deliver a good experience but its such a long wait...
Not really - the game has only been in developement a couple years. People been waiting 13 years on Star Citizen and 15 years on GTA 6 lol
but not for swords and gunplay? oof.
Well... Star Citizen is a mess... Cool Engine, but not a good game.
GTA 6 had GTA 5 before.
We dont have a good pirate game - At all right now. So the wait will be long. 😄
at least for me, that is
Star Citizen is amazing - You need the right people to play with. Like any other game everyhting goes through stages 🙂
I'm just thrilled to see Crosswind get developed 🙂
Everytime I played it (and I mean, EVERYTIME) the servers where acting up. I literally gave up because the game wont let me play.
I'm also excited for it. I want to play it so badly right now. D:
Crosswind sounds and looks like my dream game. 😄
Bleh I tried playing it when it became free to play for while
Oh my god it took a whole damn day to download cause it downloaded like the launcher and everything
And too hard to control to many controls
And too complicated
I find the controls cool. So much freedome. But it has almost no tutorials and you have absolutely no guidance.
Oh, and it doesnt work 90% of th etime xD
Crosswind will be good to grind… beat the 300hours on sot
Well, for me its 100% xD
Too many things to download tho
When I got it… it downloaded so many things
When was free
GTA 6 only releasing on console unfortunately if was pc… ur cooked… the storage
Well, its not worth the time until it gets actual progression system and not just being... space ships are cool.
I am absolutely excited about the singleplayer tho.
It will eventually cvome to PC. Im sure of it.
God the storage will be insane tho… hopefully not bad
Cause if was a lot u better delete all the games on your console 😭
If, for whatever case you struggle with Storage in these times... Something is wrong 😄
GTA 6 is expected to require a large amount of storage space, with estimates ranging from 150GB to 200GB or more
Ai overview… I think you better get an upgrade of storage for your console
Well... I'm not that excited for GTA. I like GTA but GTA 5 just... Was boring for me. Especially somehow the singleplayer.
Hello Everyone
hey
I was hoping to have a mod contact me or to speak with one
Two of our lovely mod team are online you can speak with one of them
Hello
@granite oxide ^
I sent you a direct message
Yes I am not a mod but the person I just tagged is one
How long does it take to get access to Alpha? I just requested.
Gold names are the mods
Thank you for being so helpful
@spring wadi ^ try tagging him he is one of the mods
Np
@granite oxide I was just wondering why the Steam page allow me to applied for a second opportunity for access to the playtest. Did my first entry get removed?
I wonder if they are planning on giving more keys out today.
why they give yesterday ?
How are they going about it in the discord?
They do giveaways, last one was on Thursday i think
interesting
Like 20 keys
friday
so its a small random lottery
Yup very small
welp
Which sucks
small lottery with over 200k people+
today we have 350,000+ wishlists
oh its 350k now there ya go:P
lol i just saw a gameplay video from youtube and was like 'that looks sick' so now i might not even get to play it. perfect lol
can just wait till the game is released......kinda over dramatic there
how is that over dramatic lol
Bro only releasing next year
more so passive dramatic lol
Thats along time from now
I have been searching for a way to get a key and I feel I should have received one because I had applied earlier on and the Steam page allowed me to apply for the second time that was odd. Yet all I have come across is frustrated post about people complaining. Luckily @edgy saddle left a message that was helpful and hence I found the discord.
people complaining coz their impatient and expect coz they clicked a button they deserve a key, you dont deserve anything. this is also a playtest/alpha while you can enjoy the game the whole point is to get feedback/bugreports from the people in the test. if all you care about is playing you dont understand what a playtest is and should just wait for the games full release simple...
Lol. That's over dramatic to you?
We are speaking English right 😄
Hello
Hunt don't tease me like that😭 😅
your comment was oh i didnt get a key instantly now i might not even get to play....perfect... your acting like your going to never get a chance to play.....so yeah dramatic, can just wait for full release
What do I need to do to get the key? I really want to see the game.
same as everyone else, wait and check email
Lol if that's over dramatic to you, then I guess I am a Drama Queen. It's called sarcasm, bud. Get a grip lol
Remember this isn’t the first test, so there will be more opportunities in the future.
Lets keep it civil and remain on topic guys
what if the future was now 😄
Just read the name BitterBlossom it a given that person will be as the name states 😄
Haha wish it was. We all went through the same emotions when the previous test was on and we didn’t get in.
Lol I was thinking that earlier.
Hunt you are hilarious 😄
LOL okay ill come back later coz it seems the immature children are awake right now
thank you
^
GodSpeed
in greece crosswind is not open yet ?
Interesting 🙂
I live in the present.
It was a good vibe til you came in swinging. But to go back to keeping it civil as @obtuse hawk is asking to, over it. Sorry Turaidh.
i ask because i didnt see any live on twitch from greece
The human mind is the only time machine we have at the moment, Good thing you are in the present if not you would be missing out on life.
All good guys! I can understand the frustration.
my friend ask for a key but they didnt give
I can't find the unique item in the fisherman's hut ))))):
I am not frustrated i am just confused with that double application on Steam.
I honestly wasnt frustrated. Was just being sarcastic haha. But the game looks cool.
Stop taking pictures and you will find it 😄
This is what I thought Skull and Bones was going to be. That game was such a huge let down. Thank goodness I did not buy it.
Love watching some of the bases people are already building.
How is the base building like? Once Human, Ark, Runscape, Conan .. were cool but limited in each game. Is this more giving?
@obtuse hawk How do the "key giveaways" take place within the discord server ?
I’m probably not the best to answer for base building ha I have good ideas but the execution usually doesn’t add up. I have enjoyed the ‘feel’ of it though and not come across situations like in Exiles where parts wouldn’t always stick.
There hasn't been one since Friday sadly
more building pieces, no snapping option etc, these are all giving you freedom to build.
Oooh. Yeah. I rememebr all that. So frustrating when youve been base building for hours and its one little thing haha. Dune's base building doesnt seem bad since Funcom developed it. But havent gone too far into base building in that game yet.
Quick question if my Cpu is just under minimum requirements but everything else is higher does that mean i still have a chance to get a key.
Keep an eye on #│announcements and some content creators still have keys as well so make sure you’re keeping an eye on them. Chat is also monitored where a key could be handed out if decided.
morning!
Excellent Reference 😄
why thank you i thought so too myself LOL
Morning!
top'uh the morning to'ya
Theres hardly anyone streaming the game.
From my initial impression from videos and streams, this seems more fleshed out and polished than a lot of Early Access releases already
Excited to get my hands on it
Still early for a few countries.
Im watching badmanners
True but still
Was watching him yesterday
Europes just waking up and most of America is asleep.
ooh. hes live right now
He did 2 giveaways yesterday
😂
Gone are the days for me gaming into the night and then you start hearing bird sounds outside 😂.
I am awake Kind Person 😄
Europe is up for 3+ hours xdd
First one to post a screenshot where you are NOT Starving. Wooo
islands have different position on every player?
Still alive 😄
having 3 various foods in effect at all times seems to be the only way to keep youtself at max health
2 health segments with no food and 1 per each active food
That seems grindy
it hasnt been you can pick up coconuts and bananas off the ground and they last 7 minutes each
But you can craft higher tier recipes to make the effects last longer
how is it goig
I have been watching all the streams on TTV that are playing Crosswind even in German 😄
yeah
lol
Does this look like a trap or no
stillwaitig for my key watching streamers in the mean time just to learn the base game form them
definetly a trap
game looks really good for Alpha
yeah
It feels more polished than most releases
At least in the live service realm
yeah true
as far as graphics optimization and like general "smoothness"
Last couple survival open world games ive played that were either in alpha or early beta .. were pretty polished. Devs are doing work more than ever nowadays!
Yeah that is because they have a limited number of players, lets see when they have 1000s of more players online. Graphics wise it is very clean!
I'm mostly talking about client side stuff but yea that's always a hurdle
Bananas was my go to
I agree cliend side it is polished
Day 3 
i love the game even if i havent played it
The server structure of this game makes it easier than games trying to put 2-5k people on a single realm though.
Give me a Key... GIve me a Key.... Aaaahhhh I'm drowning 😄
yeah but it would look fu to have more then 3 in one play
What do you mean
like one swerver
3 people?
yeah
You play on an X-wide?
Theyre planning on having a lot more than 3 people on 1 server
would be cool if the pop it up to 20 ore so
Yes he does
in the futer
But everyone has their own individual personal islands
I miss my xtra-wide =*\
There will be areas like hubs and other content areas that more people gather though
ANd yea i have a 3440x1440 i love it
oh yeah that would mes up the island stucture
Agree some of them these days have better stability/performance than some major releases.
I was cleaning and re-arranging stuff in my office .. and one of my trophies fell onto my x-wide monitor. I was so sad.
It's gunna be kinda like dune except everyone has their own personal island chain, and then there's another network of connected hubs and content
For sure!
u speak my language thats my monitor with 240hz refresh
Like how dune has hagga basin, deep desert, etc
Don't brag 😄
Is it gunna take me a long time to find iron? i just finished clearing the second island ive been to lol
Idk what to think about Dune yet. I was a part of the playtest. Currently waiting for friends to play and get to where im at. They're playing Re-Match atm
I played the playtest and loved it, then I played at launch for 200 hours, i think its an amazing game
I think they slightly missed the mark with the deep desert and other end game content
But I think they can work it out eventually
nice. Im only on the 2nd area currently. Just waiting for my friends but they are taking their sweet time lol
I think this game is in a position to do exactly what dune was trying to do, except to do it perfectly
That said I think dune is a greattt game and def suggest it
Anyone who has access - what is the performance like with this game?
I have some great hardware so I'm sure it won't be a problem for me, but I'm curious to find out if it's well optimised?
id say very good
max graphics on a 4070 super running 70-80ish fps
what engine is this game made with?
Its been lowering a little bit as i advance in the game
Unreal Engine 5 @fallow ether
Its unreal 5
nice
That is impressive actually
i have that 13th gen intel issue where i have to underclock my CPU to play games
I didnt turn the upscaling to 100 but i did crank it up to 85
I have a 4090 in my development laptop and two desktops, one with a 3070 and the other a 4080. (For context I'm a game dev, so need a variety for testing) I'll test it on all three out of curiosity if I get a key 😄
oOoOOo
apple to be a content creator and say youre gunna make a benchmarking vid lol
Apply*
there you go
I wonder if they'd accept that? 😄 That's a good idea actually
Nice Flex! Get in Line!
The keys seem quite sparse but they have given them to a lot of creators
You should 100% do that
Omg hi bambino
Hey Bambino 😄
Yes, it has been!
Maybe that's a sign that the idea would work Aiden
Are you guys all in the playtest, or are you all in the queue for keys with me? 😄
Also Bambino I'm not sure of your exact role but great freaking work
in the queue 😉
queue. I just found out about the game like an hour ago lol
Same here TU - I found it a few hours ago then immediately messaged all of my friends about it 😄
Waiting for key 🥲
For 2 days I’m waiting
5AM now ... lol
Oh, neat!
I think it's probably pretty quiet right now but for any of you hunting for a key one of the more likely ways is finding streamer thats doing a giveaway that doesnt have a lot of viewers
Go knock their door bro
I was part of many giveaways including a few that only had 20 or so entries
I have been waiting for a long time, like off the Atlas Discord server where they made references, then through the first release of keys and now this second one. Hence I can not understand the bitter ones. I guess my Pop teaching me paitence was a good thing.
lol i just joined one of the german streamers
have no idea how to enter the giveaway haha
How it going? , Type !giveaway
hes gviing away 1 key but everything is in german
says tickets purchased 0 .. entrants 0 .. so im assuming you have to purchase something for a key?
Google Translate 😄
or a chance at a key?
It requires sharing a content channel and I only have old terrible stuff out there from when I was in Uni 😄 worth a look
Wait, there's a giveaway 👀
i say go for it nothing to lose lol
okay so someone asked in english
yea they gave a bunch of streamers keys to giveaway and many have been throughout the past 2 days
But I'm not sure if they're still giving out more or how many people still have, but its worth checking tomorrow or whenever streamers are online streaming the game
I delisted all my content a little while back, I'm not going to put terrible stuff back out there to apply here
I'll wait for access - maybe Bambino will notice us 🙏
He's done some giveaways in the discord too so watch the news tab they are usually in there
welp ive been playing for like 12 hours straight and its 5am now so I'll continue this journey tomorrow lol
@uncut narwhal I have two 2560 x1080 Monitors
we just have to watch .. so this german streamer im watching .. you need to have 300 blutcoins to get 300 blutcoins .. and you earn 5 points every 10 minutes
once you accrue 300, you can buy a ticket to enter the giveaway
Interesting
I am about to fire up Dune while I wait.

I'm starting to loss hope
Don’t lose hope

Anticipations is Life 😄 Listening to 10 seconds before Sun Rise by DJ Tiësto
here to get a couple alpha keys if possible please for myself and my partner YAR
On AresLPs Stream his character is facing the wrong way during a boat battle, literally backwards
HAHAHA
Welcome the front desk is close :D, jk we are all paitently waiting for the same 😄
When ya cant sleep...so you decide to randomly stream Crosswind at 5:20 am
Huh?
Huh? I replied to the question 🙂 No moving parts, but you can disassemble for free.
Well I dont have accesss yet day 3....
The amount of times ive refreshed lookign for a code is illegal
Oh i didn't ask the question xD Was a bit confused
Anyways Good Morning, Yar
morning!
Cant sleep so early stream for me haha
bro when are we getting a key
with my friend we ask for play in same time ons team he has direct access and me not .. i dont understand who they select people
I gotta say this game might be my new addiction
then imagine when it will be the 1.0. you gonna wake up, sleep and breath Crosswind🔥
I've Argh-plied for the Alpha 😉
you found new ( let me in )hahha nice
Already that way lol. Running on 3 hours of sleep and streaming CW again
You realise key distribution via steam is completly random, yeah?
They dont make games like this anymore
😂
Lol
Yargggg
The other guy at tortuga with big ship on EU wanna hop on pvp? incase man sees this
any1 who knows how frequently access is given to test the game ?
I mean, over 9k invites have been sent out over the past 5 days
ok read a bit above - some1 wrote its random his friend got access he didnt so suspected this.. but hoped its just an approval to whom ever asks to allow stress test and all to test it who want to test it ;).. wish thinking .. nvmnd 😄
Thats yesterday should be way more my now
By
It is random. Its done via steam and anyone thats requested access has the same chance to receive an invite as anyone else on the list
Exactly why I said over 9k invites
Unless you are a content creator
Finally got access oh my god
but TRUE must be more
i understand all fine - if we get approval we will test it together.. if not we will wait. is as is
Via steam? Or twitch streamers?
So happy for you.
Steam
Congrats 🔥
Hmmmmm I wonder where I have seen this name before LOL
How long did it take everyone to get beta access?
Beta? This is pre-alpha, and most of us don't have it 😂
Some got it on day 1 some got it a few hours ago.
can`t wait as i have 2k+ hours on rust, and run a rust server would be good to test a new game
Keep an eye out in your steam,they will send out a key if your next in the pool.
Btw once alpha is finshed will the progress get wiped? (ex base)
i think
sweet me and my mate can`t wait together we have 10k hours in rust...lol so need to trying a new game @sambo
almost guranteed yes maybe for further alphas it will keep it but very unlikely
any ideas on cost?
how many Benjamin's do i gotta give Benjamin's
are yous doing a kickstarter fund?
yall have way better chances of getting a key via twitch streams
instead of waiting on 1:300.000 on steam
4 weeks
3weeks and 3 days roughly
is co-op meant to be greyed out
😊
i have hadthe game requested quite some time on steam.. is this how you get into the play test? or is there signup somewhere else, or am i late?
ive signed the deed now i pray
+1
Hello ! Any knowns how long the test be ? And its possible get one key more ? 😄
what does that mean?
I have same situation/ question
It been some times now.. so yeah... i really wanna play that game 🙂
Me 2
belive they said somewhere around a month in length
okey, thanks
4 weeks indeed
so much better than 3 days we got with chrono haha
Because its not a good game. You know it when they try to hide and do very short tests
anything that pulls me away from new world... is a breath of fresh air haha.. but yeah.. chrono def needs a lot of work
The release is close they wont do miracles unfortunaly and it will be forgotten
anyone figured out how to do the multi pressure plate puzzle solo yet? been raking my brain on it for an hour lmao
they def need to postpone
Wished I had access to the palytest to compare, but unforunately i'm not already in ^^ Hope there will me more waves during those 4 weeks of playtest 😄
Good Morning, JeeZee!
same!
Goodmorning everyone 🙂
morning!
I hope everyone is having a lovely day
Good morning
Would be better if I could set sail on the sea of crosswind, but anyway still a good day haha
having a nice relaxing morning, hope you are doing the same.
Just had an update and unfortunately it looks like I wont be moving for at least another 2 weeks, so by proxy my plan to host community events for my 5 keys wont be going forward this time.
The reason for this is plainly because the test is 4 weeks long and events wont be happening until after half of that period, meaning no point because whoever gets them will only have about 2 weeks of playtime.
I'll be picking people over the next couple of days to receive one. Keep y'all posted
I do want to host them in the future but due to bad timing on my end it wont be during this playtest
Poor JeeZee
Sadness
daaamn nice ❤️ we pray lol
