Doom and despair agony at sea. We want to play CrossWinds but cannot find a Key. Iv searched in Bermuda, Trinidad to Tripoli. I'v looked the globe over, survived a mutiny. ...So now i'll write this Diddie of agony at sea and just wait to find a friend with an extra key for me.🏴‍☠️

[modest oxide]

OMG I just unexpectedly fought and killed the first boss

That was sick

[elfin charm]

nicely done

[random fulcrum]

whats the first boss?

[jovial knoll]

Dont remember sorry

[modest oxide]

I put it as a spoiler but this is the first boss (or at least the first i encountered)

[random fulcrum]

omg

i literally just now beat him too

[green yew]

Does anyone know if the devs of this awesome game are dropping anymore codes as I'd love to play. Been watching all day it looks great and I've registered interest on steam but nothing yet

[modest oxide]

There was an option to fight it normal which said it was around my power level, and then there was an insane option for like more than double my power level

[random fulcrum]

i thought it was a dungeon raid

[modest oxide]

I should have tried the insane option

[random fulcrum]

it level locks it

[modest oxide]

I wonder if i can re do it

[random fulcrum]

you have to be that power

[modest oxide]

Oh you have to be at the required power level?

[random fulcrum]

yeah

[modest oxide]

I see

[random fulcrum]

i wasnt able to do normal until i upgraded my armor

WAIT WHAT ARMOR ARE YOU WEARING

THAT LOOKS COOL

[modest oxide]

i have the green set and a blue bandana i found

[true zodiac]

Day 105 of still waiting for a key!

[random fulcrum]

oh i couldnt tell the rest was the green set

but the bandana looks cool

any buffs with it?

[modest oxide]

I found it somewhere I cant remember where

Its for ranged damage but it was still stronger than my other one

[random fulcrum]

i think its random gen for everyone

[modest oxide]

oh my god the loot from that boss is game changing lol

[random fulcrum]

lowkey find myself using the worn pistol alot, it does minus 1 fortitude for free basically

WAIT LEMME CHECK THE LOOT

[modest oxide]

a fully upgraded sword and 5 iron picks?

[random fulcrum]

BRO WHAT

[modest oxide]

and 100 of the piastres is what i got

theres like a chest room

[mild ravine]

Are there any more codes to give out? i registered a while ago but never got a code :/ would really like to support this game

[random fulcrum]

I JUST FOUND IT

THERES ALSO A PIRATE YOU CAN RECRUIT

[noble herald]

NO SPOILERS j/k j/k

[green yew]

Anyone got a spare key they want to private dm me, so I can be locked away on my pc for the next week hehe

[velvet beacon]

coudnt you tp to your ship?

[solid silo]

Give me the key, and I'm off to play and stream.

[random fulcrum]

@modest oxide im assuming were probably both at the same stage so wanna party up?

[elfin charm]

oooo

[modest oxide]

are you in NA? I'm not exactly sure how it works

[random fulcrum]

yeah im in na

pretty sure its just peer to peer co-op, one of us shares the world with the other

[modest oxide]

Hmm yea I'm wondering if theres just any way to party up for certain aspects without having to like completely join and stay in each others world

[noble herald]

Everyone asking for keys...meanwhile Im asking for Content Creator permissions xDD

[modest oxide]

Because we probably won't continue to progress at the exact same rate for example

[random fulcrum]

yeah i agree

[grizzled linden]

what u get for being cxontent creatror

[random fulcrum]

one of us is probably gonna play more while the other plays less

[modest oxide]

I may have to go for a few soon but imma add you on disc

[random fulcrum]

okay

[quartz cliff]

is there anyone who have an unsed key left?:D

[random fulcrum]

i think your character transfers over

[quartz cliff]

im payin with my soul

[modest oxide]

[elfin charm]

https://tenor.com/view/zaros-key-zaros-zaros-intern-key-code-gif-9547918980880214854

[modest oxide]

Yea i wonder what happens to the other persons world

[noble herald]

Can post my stream in the channel. Possible help advertise better the game.

[elfin charm]

apparently awhile

[random fulcrum]

most likely keep it

im assuming its like terraria player files

if yk what i mean

[modest oxide]

There's a smaller streamer that is multilingual streaming right now thats done lots of key giveaways

[fast orchid]

Yes

[grizzled linden]

is the pvp just 1v1 or 2v2 or is the pvp open map

[random fulcrum]

is the co-op world one of the players worlds or is it seperate completely

[modest oxide]

His name is Aschiil, I recommend checking out his stream if you're key hunting, I watched for a couple hours the other day and I was able to enter a couple giveaways with much better odds than others I saw

[noble herald]

He is awesome at streaming. I enjoy how he plays german, speaks english, and is polish or french if i remember correctly

[sage meadow]

Ahoy salty sailors another day of waiting for me it seems

[velvet beacon]

seaweave how to tp to your ship?

[elfin charm]

I see no one by that name streaming

[noble herald]

Look at last one who posted in https://discord.com/channels/1260209458924224542/1354462739145429002

[velvet beacon]

@fast orchid

how to tp to your ship?

[noble herald]

You need a bell

[modest oxide]

Did you recruit the cowardly pirate lol

[noble herald]

and u cant tp to Dhingy

[random fulcrum]

i did hbu?

[noble herald]

only to Cutter and bigger

[modest oxide]

yea figured might as well

[random fulcrum]

@modest oxide so the way online works is your player file and inventory transfers over, but its only one of our worlds, theres no way to share a world between the both of us

[fast orchid]

Stand on tiny boat and use map

[modest oxide]

Dang yea thats what i was thinking

[torpid quail]

hey, are they releasing more keys? I want ma'key!

[modest oxide]

Oh well we can at least discuss while we play for now

[fast orchid]

The good news everything that doesn't respawn is still instanced so you can both open temple chests

[velvet beacon]

to my tiny boat?

[fast orchid]

Can't fast travel to that one

[random fulcrum]

thats cool, is there anyway to go into the game files and download the world file to share it between people?

[velvet beacon]

damn

[regal gust]

isn't the world the same (besides what you build it in)

[fast orchid]

No but they don't need to be online for you to go to their world

[random fulcrum]

Oh?

[fast orchid]

No the points of interest can change up a bit

[regal gust]

arh ok

[random fulcrum]

so if my friend is offline i can still play his world

[fast orchid]

Yeah if your friend is offline you can still click to join them and you'll be in their world alone

[velvet beacon]

how manny islands do you need to discover for a bigger ship?

[random fulcrum]

@modest oxide ^^^^

[regal gust]

wauw that is an amazing option (and also explains the massive warning about sharing your ID)

[fast orchid]

It's on one of them

[fast orchid]

Yup!

[brittle sparrow]

Good morning

checks email 😭

[regal gust]

i wasn't home this weekend so i missed all the stream giveaways... hurts alot.

atleast i had my own homemade Pho which as amazing.

[copper horizon]

when does the test end?

[regal gust]

its a 28 days duration.

[craggy gorge]

Is there anything else I can do besides waiting to get early access after applying? I have so much passion for this! Please, tell me what I can do to get an EA code 🔑

[noble herald]

Unless we get lucky and they extend it

[craggy gorge]

I juat made Pho last night 🌙

[modest oxide]

LOL

[regal gust]

28 days closed then it is becomes open beta... huahau i call it right now

[noble herald]

hahaha thats funny

[regal gust]

yeah but im a scandinavian

[craggy gorge]

The meme approach. I like the strat 🔑

[paper pollen]

Why are YouTubers so bad at figuring out how to play games?

[regal gust]

9 out of 10 fakes it.

[paper pollen]

I'm watching a guy try to build and it's just embarrassing.

[elfin charm]

9 out of 10 dentits recommend it

[rain cloak]

No

[regal gust]

yes

[velvet beacon]

big or small island for the (i need a bigger ship) quest?

[random fulcrum]

wood cutter aquired

[fierce inlet]

I will now publish them every evening till i meaby have luck xD ^^

[velvet beacon]

give let`s game it out a key

[paper pollen]

Or just me so I can do it on my own. LOL

[velvet beacon]

give me 16 hours and im live on yt XD

[noble herald]

explore

Thats the only way to find things. I learned it myself

[grand yarrow]

What? This is great. Was worried that we lose access to the shared world.

[fast orchid]

Nope, it's the core reason an internet connection is required while playing

[pine crest]

they give more keys?

[noble herald]

I still hope there will be an offline mode

[fast orchid]

Same

[vale otter]

yeah also loking for a Key

[regal gust]

yeah go for offline

[modest oxide]

If you look at the first post in the faq it basically says there def wont

[slow portal]

is the beta co op?

[surreal sierra]

its an alpha right now

[fast orchid]

Unless we convince them another offline mode for our instance is something we want

[surreal sierra]

and yes coop does work

[slow portal]

ok great thanks, when does the alpha finish mate

[surreal sierra]

23rd I believe

[modest oxide]

it will make more sense once the other instances and areas are more valid, its the same reason why Dune did no offline mode

[regal gust]

not def, it says play solo (private)
and the events will be online.
so technically it says you play alone in offline and then when something happens you jump online with your stuff and have fun with everyone

[slow portal]

oh no way! so awhile yet then, whats the best way to get a key do you know, is it just to wait for access?

[modest oxide]

In this alpha since its mostly just your own islands it seems like offline mode makes sense, but once its a network of areas and the multiplayer aspects are in effect that type of stuff is what leads to exploits

[eager scaffold]

Twitch giveaways

[supple nexus]

i would try to convince them for a 10-20 people(enough people to not make the sea crowded) public servers.

[velvet beacon]

found it

[modest oxide]

Same reason dune said no offline mode and no local hosting

[surreal sierra]

Random access from steam. Occasional giveaways here. Giveaways from streamers. these are the most reliable

[reef field]

Seems now more likely to just watch streamers. Interesting way to do it, that's for sure.

[regal gust]

if i get access (from steam / giveaway or third random way) can i then start streaming and apply for keys to give away?

[paper pollen]

Sucks having to watch Streamers for a chance. Kind of ruins being able to experience the game on your own.

[grand light]

No NDA on that test.

So yeah

[regal gust]

yeah i woudl also prefered a spoiler free experience but alas here we are.

[fast orchid]

I'd still rather to be able to play on my own time like on vacation or chilling at night and not just when I have to sit with a good connection and time to keep it that way while I progress

[eager scaffold]

You don't need to watch , just join and wait I guess 😄

[regal gust]

it was not if im allowed to stream, if was if i could get keys to giveaway during my stream

[noble herald]

Yar, I LOVE the work in this game so far. Super addictive. Can;t wait to play more today and stream hopefully

[edgy saddle]

o/

[viscid folio]

Hi! Please give me the key, I want to stream this game on YouTube!

[noble herald]

This is one game i can actualy stream and that makes me super happy

[grand light]

The problem is that those who hunt for keys in streams, at least are very likely to play. As for the Steam playtest it's fully random and seems like there are a lot of bots there.

We will do giveaways here as well. Just need the best convenient way to do it

[noble herald]

Also PLEASE go support these other people streaming regardless if they are giving away keys or not. All of us streamers are people just like you and love the talk and chatter!

[modest oxide]

Giveaways here are defintely the best way to guarantee direct access to the people who want to try the game out the most

[fast orchid]

I could give away more keys with the gameble function of my stream, I know people enjoyed that

[cerulean ore]

slides crisp $20 dollar bill over pls key

[noble herald]

That was FUN even tho i already had access @fast orchid

I kept loosing LOL

[reef field]

Yeah unfortunately there are tons of bots on Steam. That's why I said readapting to the streamer giveaways are the best way to do it. It's actually gonna be people who want to play, or who interact in the community. As far as spoiler free, I get that, but so much is gonna change, this isn't the full game.

[latent shore]

How long do I have to wait to access Apfa after reporting on Steam?

[regal gust]

get better internet?

[noble herald]

LOL

[weary totem]

not an internet issue

[ionic sun]

It’s my birthday I DEMAND a key 🙂

[grizzled linden]

im going overseas for work for 2 weekss so i need a key asap lol

[modest oxide]

There is ways around it but sadly many of the stream giveaways i watched yesterday were clearly botted as well. They would have 15-30 viewers and 2 minutes before the giveaways the entries would go from 15-75 while the viewers remained at 10

[fierce inlet]

i think if that work all have bday today xD

[modest oxide]

People make alts and bots for twitch too lol

[ionic sun]

Don’t worry I already sent pictures of my passport and ss number to the team as proof

[modest oxide]

At the end of the day theres only so much you can do and you just have to participate and hope for the best

[fast orchid]

That's why I make them earn it with a gamble command, then you actually gotta work for it

[reef field]

Yeah, those people suck. But I've also seen streamers leaving raffles open for like, 10 minutes.

[frosty warren]

I would also sell your soul for a key 😄

[random fulcrum]

or just dont include new accounts into the giveaway

[latent shore]

How long do I have to wait to access Apfa after reporting on Steam?

[supple nexus]

why dont you use a bot or something else to give keys to the people in discord only instead of steam, because here is more chances people will play.
Many playtest games does similar.

[random fulcrum]

giveaway bot

[regal gust]

i already sold my soul to my gf to get a gf.. so yeah... can't seel it again

(even thoug she broke up with me)

[burnt heart]

hello i just wanted to say THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU for making a game like this that we all needed and been wanting, this is amazing and breathtaking and pure best game to come out to date. i am about to drop every game cannot wait for this game to come out. thank you once again for making this game

[viscid folio]

Hi! Please give me the key, I want to stream this game on YouTube!

[hallow jungle]

Discord giveaway bot +1

[fast orchid]

I mean yeah I have security settings for that, I just don't have more keys to give away ATM or I'd let all y'all gamble and see who has the patience and luck to actually earn it

[modest oxide]

This copper deposit that has no unique items is really causing me grief because I cant check it off my map

Is this normal or no

[noble herald]

I am going to do my very best to hype this game up and stream it as much as i can. Even tho i have some difficulties with the combat, its super addictive and a game I have wanted for a long time

[reef field]

Don't you tempt me with gambling

[fast orchid]

Mine all the copper

[modest oxide]

omg every piece?

[random fulcrum]

no

it shouldnt be

[fast orchid]

If the devs give me keys I absolutely will

[regal gust]

you still whining i was sure we told you shut it like you told everyone who replied to you to shut it.

[gray briar]

How do you even sign up for the content creator?

[noble herald]

If i somehow get accepted into Content Creator and can do key giveaways i will come up with some fun ways of doi8ng it

[solar vector]

you have to fully loot all bodies and chest or it wont check off, i had this problem before

[random fulcrum]

mine went away afte examining all the dead bodys and looting things, also there are sometimes secret passages behind the crap rock if yk what im talking abt

[burnt heart]

is it possible to get a content creator key or make content for this game this is what ive been wanting and needing in my life

[noble herald]

Check pinned messages

[regal gust]

you're also still here

[modest oxide]

It's obviously not a true souls like, but i am traditionally really bad at any souls-like-ish combat and I think this game will be the one that makes me get good at dodge/block/parry mechanics

[grizzled linden]

it was greaT Until i hit a jackpot and didnt win lol jk bro i appreciate u doing giveaways and will def be back in stream to keep gambling lmao\

[noble herald]

yeah i died prolly 50 times in my 3 hour stream earlier

[gray briar]

Yeah bro was trying to buy some reason it won’t let me go to pinned

[modest oxide]

Hmm theres no chests or bodies here lol I already killed all the baddies and explored all the rooms

[regal gust]

see without me you would have nothing. your welcome

[fast orchid]

It didn't say "CONGRATS!" That means it was before the new odds

[grizzled linden]

lol i wam just griefing ya it was fun

[fast orchid]

Ik but it's fun to play along a little

[noble herald]

Again alot of the "steam" ones are prolly alt accounts or bots

[weary totem]

@fast orchid do you know of any possible fixes for 200+ ping?

[ionic sun]

They do giveaways for discord members you click a check box. You had like a 10% chance of winning

[vague crest]

oh well, back to Black Flag

[reef field]

Well, when people hold a giveaway open for 30+ minutes, yeah, lots of bots are gonna get in. Seems moreso some of the streamers want to milk it for viewer retention more than what they were given the keys for lol.

[coral storm]

Are they letting more people in today?

[eternal dome]

this guy had giveaway in his title, then said hes doing the giveaway tomorrow lol

[mint mango]

isn't that what they were given the key for? to generate scarcity and excitement, farm emotions, the usual modern economic strategy

[eternal dome]

i dont blame them but man i dont watch twitch ever so i dont care too much

as brutal as that sounds

[paper pollen]

That's my issue with Streamers being given key bundles - they ration them for personal benefit. One guy yesterday was selling them on twitch

[eternal dome]

the only person i watch on youtube sometimes is burntpeanut

[noble herald]

See i would not be like that. If people only watch for keys then thats them. I would only do it to help. I am streaming Crosswinds already and im not even in the CC. I want to share the amazing game to the world

[viscid folio]

Can people here really get the key?

[eternal dome]

i saw one said they gonna do a subathon for keys

[surreal sierra]

Twitch as a platform has done a lot that I personally disagree with and as a result try to avoid it whenever possible

[noble herald]

I am never worried about viewers. I stream just to share the amazing experience

[eternal dome]

which sounds wrong

[regal gust]

and then there are also people who dont want to be be spoiled about the content, being forced to watch streamers to increased the odds is detrimental to those.

[reef field]

DM me link when you do

[surreal sierra]

yep, theres occasional giveaways in #│announcements

[velvet beacon]

IS TORTUG ALSO A RANDOM ISLAND?(caps)

[eternal dome]

bro there was two giveaways and they stopped id much rather the entire games access stemmed from giveaways in discord than these random bots on steam lmao

[fast orchid]

Nope

[noble herald]

Might stream in a bit. I will put a ((LIVE TTV)) by my name when i am streaming

[velvet beacon]

how to get there then?

[regal gust]

sail to it?

[reef field]

@ me at least lol so I can come chill/lurk while playing Eco lol

[velvet beacon]

how

[regal gust]

jump on a ship, and hoist the sails?

[fast orchid]

Progress in main story

[eternal dome]

also saw a streamer say honestly guys if you wanna play the game just apply to be content creator which is poo man

[regal gust]

give me you key i will show you (joking)

[velvet beacon]

i have a quest report murder to tortuga

[reef field]

Did you say one of the streamers was SELLING their keys from their CC bundle? Wait lol... who?

[eternal dome]

honestly honestly just stop giving access by steam and just do it through discord because then its better chance of getting one

that isnt a bot

[paper pollen]

Already reported them to the mods, but he was doing one sub= 1 key

[eternal dome]

feel like its a bigger problem than anyone is letting on

[regal gust]

also blackbeard how you got so massive fleet in the game? and why everyone fighting you?

[reef field]

LOL what an actual scumbag

[surreal sierra]

I get why you say this. But its not really a viable option. The game will release on steam, makes sense to do it via the platform. And advertising that the ONYL way to get into the playtest is via a different app entirely? That would result in much more backlash. Also consider having to dm thousands of people individually as bots are not always reliable

[eternal dome]

i hear both sides, its just frustrating

i'd like to know an honest estimate of how many bots got a key from steam

[surreal sierra]

I get you bro. And believe me I understand it, but the way its done now is arguably the best and fairest method

[eternal dome]

because i swear they just sell those accounts for a tenner on allkeyshop

[echo onyx]

<@&1354821664998817822> @lusty patio I am interested in playing the Alpha version that just released is there any possibility now of getting added or is it closed until the next one? Hoping to be able to make videos on it and stream if its allowed also

[noble herald]

@surreal sierra When we gonna play together homie?

[surreal sierra]

Actually myself and the other mods have been monitering the online space for anyone selling keys or accounts

[atomic tree]

is it still possible to get keys?

[paper pollen]

I'd guess likely thousands considering the number of keys vs player count

[edgy saddle]

o/

[surreal sierra]

Its still open. Keep an eye on your inbox and steam library

Also please do not ping Benjamin

[analog sandal]

know what Todd would say

[eternal dome]

thats so depressing

[knotty crypt]

hello pirates

[analog sandal]

see that key over there, you can get it, just walk over there

[echo onyx]

do you know if there is a timeframe to expect on when might be added after requesting access on steam etc

[eager scaffold]

The full release has a estimate date?

[noble herald]

It's RNGesus. steam randomly picvks people

[surreal sierra]

nope. Invites are sent out whenever the devs do another wave of invites and its random whoever gets selected

[surreal sierra]

late 2026

[noble herald]

^

[fast orchid]

Please👏 don't 👏 ping 👏 the devs👏

[reef field]

I mean, I'm sorry bud but I disagree with you here entirely. I understand you could receive backlash from backpedalling on Steam, but it's kind of already been "redirected" so to say towards the creator program. So isn't that kind of the same thing? Now people who want keys have to go keep a stream open nonstop to try to get in.

[echo onyx]

thats a pity 😭 was hoping to make some YT videos on it this week

[regal gust]

the game gets delayed 1 month for every ping the devs get.

[tawny silo]

I'm a QA tester as my career, I have a big reason to sign this game, but I'm patient for a key, streamers who give out keys with money are just desperate to gain more "views"

[noble herald]

Check https://discord.com/channels/1260209458924224542/1354462739145429002 for streamers who are possible doing key giveaways. Also Steam is still randomly accepting people but its up to the RNGesus. And When the Devs feel like it, they can do a Discord Giveaway

[elfin charm]

just chillin

[velvet beacon]

do you need a navigator to go to tortuga?

[eternal dome]

idk why not doing more discord giveaways there was only 2

come on man sick of the PROBABLY 5000 bots who have keys

[noble herald]

Yar done said they are wanting to try and figure out a better way to do that. Till then please check out streamers and request access on steam

[devout spire]

Giving cc keys to give out instead of just more people is kinda lame

[regal gust]

should have made the steam keys expire after 24 hrs of not redeeming.

[surreal sierra]

Thats fine. I dont mind people disagreeing with me.

But from our perspective and for the devs too, removing access from Steam and putting it entirely on a separate app and platform would be MUCH worse. The discord is at just under 9k members and theres only a small percentage of people who genuinly have a tantrum and throw a fit when they havnt gotten access. Whereas on Steam, it was over 300k people who signed up for access. Purely from a numerical standpoint the amount of people who would cry bias and most likely start a lot of online drama would be much much higher.

Ultimately Discord is not necessary to run or play the game, this is just the social side for Crosswind. It shouldnt be a requirement to HAVE to use discord to use a steam game.

[noble herald]

I agree with you 100% JeeZee

[eternal dome]

ibr im only crying because of the clear disparity between keys given and concurrent players

its so bait how many bots there are or people who applied and didnt care if they got it or not

[reef field]

I also disagree with that. Discord is the social side, the COMMUNITY side of it. If you want to build a community for a game, don't you think that would be the best way to support it?

[surreal sierra]

A good idea tbh. But the way its done it via invite, not key redemption. So people who are granted access on steam have the game appear in their library rather than get sent a code to redeem

[eternal dome]

if 9000 keys were given and 2-3k people were playing id just wait my turn man

[mint mango]

i think you're massively overestimating what portion of players are chronically online, and overestimating bot interest, i can't imagine it's that worthwhile for someone to bot a small month long alpha

[elfin charm]

I feel like it shouldn't be random cause it sucks waiting a week when others get in 2 hours after signing up

[eternal dome]

I dont think I am though

[regal gust]

yeah i read up on the steam playtest program. it had a expirity but it seems to expire for everyone (also those redeemed)

[fast orchid]

Can I say the most honest yet controversial thing yet?

Y'all know the devs owe us nothing right? This alpha is FREE, they made something beautiful and still haven't asked a dime for it. In our day in age that's easily more than we deserve especially some of y'all no offense

[elfin charm]

some of us have negative luck so to wait on something being random is horrible

[foggy cipher]

LOL seaweaver... what lol nothing... lol i agree 100% too bad people dont know that

[heavy sedge]

i think there should be a rep system, and those who play alphas/betas regularly and actually report bugs and give feedbacks should have a higher chance of getting a key the normal way.

[mint mango]

it's not controversial, but we also can't be surprised in places like this if emotions are running when the whole marketing model is based on emotion farming

[eternal dome]

had a friend who didnt know about the game, told him about it 3 days in he applied and got access in the same hour 💔

[elfin charm]

yup

[reef field]

I mean yeah sure, but they're also getting free playtest data in return so, it's give and take lol. Like we're not guaranteed access, or owed anything sure. But don't act as though they don't get anything in return either. They get feedback and a lot of data.

[surreal sierra]

We do want to build a community. And we are. However requiring players to HAVE to use discord and HAVE to use the social side personally is not fair on people who would want to play but for some reasons cant use discord. Having the invites sent on on its release platform to people who signed up was the most fair method.

[noble herald]

I agree. I am thankful to have gotten my key to help spread the hype and fun

[velvet beacon]

is there a way for me to get acess to the content creator role i already have a key

[edgy saddle]

🫡

[vast dock]

https://tenor.com/view/let-me-in-eric-andre-wanna-come-in-gif-13730108

[tawny silo]

Imagine people screaming/complaining/yelling in steam reviews being negative review for having no keys. its a dangerous game we have to be careful; but props on devs on polishing the game.

[elfin charm]

I have no problem witht he steam signup but making it random is kinda ugh

[noble herald]

Do what I did and fill out the Content Creator survey thats pinned

And then wait like I am 😄

[devout spire]

Could do more discord giveaways over steam keys like 70/30 or something. So being in the discord gives a better chance to get a key

[surreal sierra]

Ive said before would you rather its first come first served? If that were the case there would be LOADS of people who make 50 accounts each and fill up the slots to sell later. THAT is way more unfair

[velvet beacon]

already did that few days ago

[elfin charm]

will just be thankful if I get a key

[surreal sierra]

But I get that the random chance feels like gambling and never winning

[noble herald]

Then wait like the rest of us are who applied 😄

[heavy sedge]

i mean , yea. ppl who show genuine intrest should have a higher chance alright.

[noble herald]

you can still stream the game just you cant post it in the channel

That's what I have been doing

[surreal sierra]

The giveaways in Discord are entirely in the realm of Bambino, our of our control

[glossy arch]

My hubby and I cannot wait to play this game. We’ve been searching for a fun little game to play together when we have time.

[vague crest]

I remember last time I tried to get a key for a game, Creators got them, played it to death, got all the new Subs followers hype trains, and when the game was released they pulled it apart and moved onto something else

[surreal sierra]

They want to make the game because theyre passionate about it. They havnt even decided on a monetisation model. That to me shows they want to make a good game first before thinking about the finance.

[wise plover]

Either way I have patience

[surreal sierra]

[foggy cipher]

LOL you all are funny.... the keys will come out when they do... they will do their process. I am sure they know everyone wants a key... and just remember when alpha ends.. there will be people that wont be getting beta keys... lol When it is your time its your time... Good luck guys.. it seems like it is going to be a great game!

[noble herald]

Well said

EVEN if I did not get a key....I would still be just as supportive to everyone and the team working on this game

[weary totem]

Game is fantastic but the Ping/Region isssue needs fixed ASAP imo

[leaden falcon]

on that note .. where's my alpha key?

[heavy sedge]

yeah but what do you expect in the games general channel? especially when the game has been properly advertised (maybe even a lil bit too much)

[leaden falcon]

[surreal sierra]

@jagged grail Please keep all stream promotion in #│content-creators once you get the role after application or #🎭│offtopic

[reef field]

Okay, and I get that. I'm not sitting here painting the devs as any form of "evil". I was just offering up ideas. I never said ANYTHING about financial. Nor did I say to pull steam keys. NOR did I say to only use social media platforms. I simply said that the Twitch giveaways are an interesting way to do it, but it sucks when the streamers are using the keys as a "make my platform bigger" rather than a "spread this to the community". And you can easily tell who is and who isn't doing that.

[elfin charm]

I am sitting a stream right now not understanding a single word being said to try and win a key

[eager scaffold]

It works for both side , streamers get people to know the game , and they profit from the keys hype

[heavy sedge]

same

[regal gust]

time to allow ppl with a key ot invite 2 people like the deadlock (but with a limit)

[elfin charm]

good luck to you

[eternal dome]

i think being able to invite a couple friends would be huge

[reef field]

Yeah I know the incentive behind it, but sheesh lol

[surreal sierra]

No, nothing was stated specifically. However the phrase "But don't act as though they don't get anything in return either" inherently paints it as transactional. When in reality the devs use the data gathered to better improve the game experience.

[keen nebula]

🔑

[gray arrow]

I want to test how to get the test key?

[reef field]

That was NOT the way I meant that, you took that waaaay the wrong way. And it is transactional. They are using the data gathered to make the game better. HOWEVER, they are in fact getting data in return, correct?

[foggy cipher]

Good luck on getting the data needed to keep on crushing it. It looks great.. watching a few streams on twitch... I hope you put a few kick streamers in there too!!!!

[main rivet]

Are they still accepting new content creators?

[noble herald]

That is what some of us are hoping for. But if not. I will stream anyways

[surreal sierra]

May not have meant it, but its the way it sounded. And yes data gathered is used, but for the betterment of the players experience

[elfin charm]

I want a a cookie

[heavy sedge]

go to a site, you will instantly get multiple.

[main rivet]

I want to make some videos and streams on the game but I still dont have a key

[elfin charm]

right

[naive mortar]

trying to play co op and the persons code isn't working for me but mine works for them. send help. i want to join their game; cant figure it out

[reef field]

Okay well, I apologize if that's the way you received it. I was simply refuting the "they don't owe us anything" with moreso saying "Okay, well, we don't owe them either. But we play the game and they get metrics and feedback to make the game better. So we both help each other." If that makes more sense. Idk, my head hurts man.

[calm geyser]

If you get access, are you given extra codes for friends?

[elfin charm]

nope

[heavy sedge]

@elfin charmbtw i think the said stream will dish out keys at 00:00 their time 😄

[mint mango]

i cant remember wehat game it was but u got given acces and could invite 2 friends

that would be huge

[elfin charm]

new world was that way i think

[surreal sierra]

Tbh so does mine. Whole day of moving furniture. Big ol’ headache and three straight days of dealing with same old same old in here. Let’s agree to disagree on some methods used for the game. Aye? 🤝

[elfin charm]

jeezee did you see someone needed help a few messages ago

[noble herald]

I just want to thank the Devs for allowing us to have access to the alpha to play and test. Like Seaweaver said, we arn't owed anything and they are letting us do this for free. I hope that we will be able to be help in giving back the feedback and statistics you all need for further development of this amazing game. As a true sailing and pirate fan I am HOOKED and cannot wait to share more of this amazing game with people.

I want to thank you again

[echo onyx]

Said it was closed unless you have a different one than I found?

[granite olive]

ahh i cant wait to play 😮

[surreal sierra]

It closes and opens seemingly randomly to us. We have no idea when it’s open or closed. Your best bet is to keep checking back once in a blue moon

[noble herald]

I just got accepted as we speak

[elfin charm]

seriiously?

[reef field]

For sure. I just want to see the community and game grow, without all the frustration etc. But I guess that's part of the beast, eh?

[echo onyx]

Where is the signup form?

[reef field]

Just use the normal one. It's what I used.

[surreal sierra]

Of course. It’s an alpha and a long road ahead to release there’s always going to be teething problems at some point or another

[reef field]

AYO WHAAAAAAAA

Oh no. They must've closed it literally last night, I did mine about 14 hours ago

[regal gust]

the on pinned in the content creator is not closed

[noble herald]

Yeah I did mine yesterday

[reef field]

Hold on let me see

[elfin charm]

yea i did mine 3 days ago sooo

[surreal sierra]

Honestly my recommendation is to keep checking back on it every now and again. It’ll most likely reopen soon

[reef field]

@surreal sierra cool if I DM quick

[surreal sierra]

Eh, well. Believe me when I say I wish I could have a hand in who gets into the CC program. But only the devs have strict control over it.

[surreal sierra]

Sure

[elfin charm]

I'm used to it by now

[noble herald]

Hopefully you will hear something soon 🙂

[surreal sierra]

I’ve literally just checked it and it’s open

Do it quick

[elfin charm]

thanks\

[winged wind]

the frustration only comes from the loud people thinking they are entitled to play a video game that is in early testing when they are not owed anything. Normal people wait to get chosen or hope to get in when the text round of tests happens. When something gets popular, you can't avoid people who get upset over nothing, just part of the process.

[velvet beacon]

hey how do you get further with THE LOST CARGO?

[elfin charm]

weee

[surreal sierra]

Pretty much. It’s what we all expected once the test starts. Day one was pretty bad in terms of dealing with it lmao

[echo onyx]

Found it thank you

[surreal sierra]

[elfin charm]

I hope that person got help earlier

[river bison]

how are ya'll liking the game? make me jealous pls

[fast orchid]

Just wait until it's "I've been waiting 3 years for this game and one week into the alpha and still no key, game is literally the worst"

[fast orchid]

Very easy 8/10 from me

[noble herald]

It may have overtaken Dune in my crack addiction now

[river bison]

that is VERY promising for an alpha!

[regal gust]

only 3 years?

day 6 of Davy Jones locker holding me from playing Crosswind

[river bison]

no point being here if you're gonna act like this

[winged wind]

🥺 🥺 🥺

[river bison]

be patient and wait your turn

[winged wind]

you are literally the one getting upset over not being able to play an early test of a game for free

[river bison]

you're literally complaining because you haven't got access and saying its all botted. relax kiddo its okay

[modest oxide]

The thing you need to consider is that they know how many players are online. They can see that playercount too, man. Only they know how many players they want to have online. Obviously bots get a large percentage of access through steam, that always happens. If they wanted more people online they would just send out more invites.

[elfin charm]

ok back

[modest oxide]

Your best bet is to worry about something else and check your email every now and then. When the games coming out they will worry about making it accessible lol

[proud crow]

Im playing the game..im not a bot..

[modest oxide]

The alpha is going to last weeks, for all we know they could be planning on sending out the majority of the access later in the test

[river bison]

its the fact you're even goin out of your way to try prove something that isnt true, is the sad part. just get on with your day and wait your turn like everyone else is doing

[edgy saddle]

stop asking for keys and just be patient

[modest oxide]

But yes, it stinks that bots always fill up the steam playtest access. All devs know this however, so they invite more people than they expect of course.

[umbral hatch]

can I have the key? ||to ur heart||

[winged wind]

even if it's 30 people playing I don't care, the game is being improved for its eventual release = I win
I'd understand the frustration if this was something you paid for but it's not

nope

[split hornet]

There is also multiplayer

[random fulcrum]

no, theres online pvp

we need something like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dt1Yq4U32Go&ab_channel=Try0

[echo onyx]

Advertised as MMO I thought

[velvet beacon]

not anymore

[modest oxide]

That's how the alpha is for the most part I think, but the end model and server structure is kinda "MMO-Lite". Look at the first post in the FAQ on the discord it explains it all very well

[static verge]

go play Skull&Bones

[tawny silo]

ew no

[winged wind]

only very early on, its not one anymore at all

[static verge]

why not, they have that

[split hornet]

Skull and Bones doesnt have dodos...

[modest oxide]

Look at the FAQ on the discord and it explains it very simly

simply

So that ANYONE can understand, trust me just read it

[jolly wolf]

tis true dodos are scary!

[winged wind]

yea my main complaint right now is the water, it's too calm and there are barely any big waves, really hope its something they are working on too since this is one of the first tests

[jolly wolf]

as long as they dont pull a Skull and bones and make the waves 200ft high and block all your shots and push your boat around so much everyone just avoids that spot:P

[split hornet]

Yeah, something like sea of Thieves but obviously with less detail

[winged wind]

sot has very good water but it caused them so much trouble lol

[modest oxide]

Just don't worry about it man, play something else unless you get the email

Just let the people that are excited talk about the game

you can decide when its out or open beta

well your barking up the wrong tree then, coz this is a very early alpha playtest if you wanna try the game to see if you like it, maybe just wait a while coz any complaints you might have about the game now will defs be changed on release

[velvet beacon]

parry at the right time and you wont get damaged

[split rock]

how does one get Content Creator role?

[velvet beacon]

they can parry back

[tribal egret]

Sounds dope, my inner Sekiro fanboy is shaking with excitement

[elfin charm]

ok back

[fading spindle]

Idk if it'll be like sekiro tbh

[tropic quiver]

Keeeeyyyy please , i don't want to pay for an account 😦

[fading spindle]

You don't need to pay for an account

[velvet beacon]

@edgy saddle can you inform him

[surreal sierra]

Heloooooooo game is free to play but keys are done via random selection on steam

[glacial cloak]

Check out #│content-creators and check the pins

[modest oxide]

Hes talking about buying a bot farmed steam account that has access lol

[elfin charm]

thanks by the way

[tropic quiver]

i know it's free lol

[edgy saddle]

what the

[velvet beacon]

do you know how to be able to upgrade from uncomon to rare armor?

[tropic quiver]

But at this stage, people who have all the keys are streamers and multi accounters.

[wise plover]

Just wait like the rest of us

[fading spindle]

Then report them to the mods on this server

[burnt heart]

this is the greatest survival and adventure game ive ever seen in my 10+ years of pro gaming

[modest oxide]

Sadly the key farmers do seem to be starting to win the battle, report people when you can

[tropic quiver]

and those who have multi accounts sell them in some websites

[modest oxide]

But keys and accounts are being sold and traded a lot now

[fading spindle]

Pro gaming lol

[edgy saddle]

Let's not talk about that pathetic topic shall we?

[bitter lichen]

It takes time I would like to play but if not i dont mind waiting. it is what it is. 😉

[gaunt laurel]

pro gate keeping

[modest oxide]

Hopefully they just invite more ppl via discord to avoid it

[surreal sierra]

got links to these? It would be a great help to us to shut them down

[modest oxide]

I will PM you

[tropic quiver]

i can give you

[elfin charm]

also so I can buy one jk jk

[modest oxide]

Theyre everywhere now man

Not as many as other games though for sure

[tropic quiver]

Really? it's truth

[fading spindle]

Change the topic tho

[edgy saddle]

I know but that's the world nowadays.

[elfin charm]

passes blazz a crayon enjoy this with us

[edgy saddle]

It's a shame that people make bot accounts and related but that happens everywhere.

[bitter lichen]

Sooo how customing ships going to work (attempt to change toppic)

[wise plover]

Anyone know if they’ve updated the amount of people that have access now?

[tropic quiver]

That's why people here actually the ones who would LOVE to test it out and play it instead of sending to some random multi account people right?

[elfin charm]

I hope i can make mine pink

[glacial cloak]

Cant wait to hear more But the #1298583059402063926 say's utility now, customization later

[bitter lichen]

Black, pink and purple for me maybe a tint of azure blue

[mellow halo]

yeah guys, crosswind is have SA server in launch ??

[fading spindle]

I'm excited to just sail with friends tbh

[elfin charm]

fantastic

[bitter lichen]

Oh i know it a feature TBA but maybe they had an idea of how they would like it to work.

sorry maybe they have an idea not had. lol

[mellow halo]

will have SA server at launch* ?

[wise plover]

Also is it only one player per ship?

[bitter lichen]

also if it able to be crewed can it be done solo if needed?

[elfin charm]

ive seen others ona ship but only one controlled the stuff

[stone fox]

we need a free friend code if we got accesss gotta get my boy out here with me

[surreal sierra]

Hoping its extensive but not as bad as SoT. I like customisation but I REALLY dont want to see someone sail past in a neon pink and barf coloured Cutter

[wise plover]

That makes sense, would be nice to have them also using cannons too

[bitter lichen]

oh i agree totally. i like colours and stuff but as long as it matches the scheme of things.

[elfin charm]

you doggin me and my pink cutter?

[wise plover]

I need to make my ship a ghost theme

[elfin charm]

welp lost 5 giveaways today

[paper pollen]

Streamers get mad when people ask about their key giveaway. Seems odd to entice viewers that way and then be upset about it when they ask. They won't even give any hint about when they are actually doing it - just some vague answer like "at the end of the stream". Yeah, sure, I want to sit here and watch you for an undetermined amount of time just for a miniscule chance to win. Sorry... just venting.

[copper horizon]

cuz their viewers mainly want their and dont gain a follower

[fair shuttle]

That's so true thats why i disklike most of them

[elfin charm]

welp time to go stream something else I guess

[surreal sierra]

hell yeah my favourite reigon; WIP

[elfin charm]

nice

[bitter lichen]

Best Region

[lofty basin]

Anyone beaten insane difficulty bosses with a fish yet ?

[bitter lichen]

Now that sound like an EPIC thing to do.

[elfin charm]

that does sound awesome

[velvet beacon]

LILY ON THE SMUGGELARS NETWORK MISSIONS DO YOU NEED TO FIND MORE SMUGELAR DENS OR NOT? (caps)

[lofty basin]

I am actually not sure right now

What does the quest say exactly?

[queen drift]

Evening folks. Stopped by to get more details on the game. I was watching a stream when Crosswinds stopped by to give him some keys for the community. The raffles have been going well and it seems the people that got them are also enjoying the game. It looks really well put together.

[surreal sierra]

It is, good fun aye

[fast orchid]

Welcome to our fort

[eternal dome]

this 1 code ting is not cutting it with the 5000 bot keys

[strong oxide]

[elfin charm]

[rare blade]

well shiver me timbers.... a Drowner is stealing my boat.. and my body is stuck in the ocean lol

[hallow verge]

what the heck thats cool

[wet stream]

report him for griefing

[bitter lichen]

Depends on server stability i guess as long as they get the info and feedback. When they need to do more testing i am sure we will get a chance

[eternal dome]

dont hold your breath man

[rare blade]

Is that’s funny…

[eternal dome]

this waiting is so much worse when the guys who have the game are preaching patience

[strong oxide]

facts

[bitter lichen]

I dont have the game BTW, I am waiting just like the rst

[elfin charm]

just sitting here playing with my crayons

[strong oxide]

gotta feed my pirate obsession sea of thieves ain't cutting it no more

[bitter lichen]

But i has the yellow hahaha.... no sun for you

[elfin charm]

I have like 6 boxes

[bitter lichen]

ooo damn hahaha

[rare blade]

So what I’m ready is folks are having a hard time getting to play?

I must have got lucky.. I saw on steam it said “submit request “ I did and the next day had it in my library? Odd I’m a nobody

[bitter lichen]

yeah it pretty hard now. they dont want to overdo the servers being in alpha stage (edit:- or so i heard anyway)

[coarse olive]

hey all , so i just got the invite to playtest.. how fun is this game? coming from a survival genre favorite ... is there a lot to do?

[surreal sierra]

on paper theres about 30 hours of content. In practice theres a lot more

[paper pollen]

is it more likely that additional people getting in through requesting access on the steam page will happen on a weekday? Or is it just whenever the developers decide to do it?

[elfin charm]

but that doesnt count like building

[bitter lichen]

so 30 questing, exploration and +hours for build time?

[paper pollen]

I could spend hours building. I bet half of my playtime in Enshrouded was just building

[fast orchid]

We made a box of shame

[rare blade]

So are there other people in the game?

I have 8 hours in and probably 30 deaths to the stupid OP birds…

[regal gust]

Whoever came up with that idea is nothing less but a genious

[bitter lichen]

Shame 🔔 , Shame 🔔,Shame 🔔

[rare blade]

Oh dang…

I wanted a key to play Enshrouded so so bad… but never got lucky enough.. but that game was worth the wait 1k hours later and I can’t put it down

[bitter lichen]

Enshrouded is fun. i have a habit of zonening out on games when i start playing a game and it grabs me i dont put it down till its done lol.

[elfin charm]

wishes I could get a refund for enshrouded

[rare blade]

Can anyone give me some combats tips?

I’m getting wrecked by Dodo’s and pigs … went to another island and drowners 2 shot me and all my gear is upgraded

[paper pollen]

I know it didn't click for some people, but I thought it was one of the best games I played in the last few years,

[exotic loom]

i want to throw money at the devs so i can play lol

[bitter lichen]

Hit them before they hit you and move out the way (i dont actully know to be honest) haha

[exotic loom]

i have played soooo many hours in ensrouded

[elfin charm]

get gud?

[hallow verge]

bob n weave

idk

[elfin charm]

[exotic loom]

[bitter lichen]

Paint them a pretty picture with crayons like a bob ross painting

[rare blade]

[coarse olive]
