[hardy night]

hard critics are what makes games good

[grand light]

You are not critisizing the game, you are complaining about not having access and making unreasonable comparisons. I am sorry, we are not doing 50k Alpha, it is not possible -- and I ask you to stop now, please.

[hardy night]

300 and 50k are a large differential

[grand light]

What is your point, matey?

[lofty basin]

I think we all know how numbers work 😅

[jolly wolf]

MAFS!

[red plinth]

Married at first sight?

[ionic void]

Gross

[jolly wolf]

can we do shapes next coz that lady taught me the square goes into the circle hole!

[hardy night]

argggg. name a game that allowed 300 people to playing at a time in the alpha

[willow torrent]

As the very first Early Access of the game, numbers don't matter, stability is most important, this is not to get people to play, this is to stress test the servers and get as much feedback as possible to launch a larger scale in the future, that's how games work.

[lofty basin]

You know the meme about game Devs watching streamers play their game ?

It's just like this lady

[jolly wolf]

@grand light have to say for an alpha the water should NOT look this hecking amazing i spent 20mins just sailing to see the water effects coming off my ship its so damn pretty

[lofty basin]

Appreciate the feedback but please don't ping them.

[jolly wolf]

oh woops i only pinged coz he was here forgot i apologise

[left narwhal]

#1298615271686279208 is the place to be

[boreal belfry]

when is this game going to release and how much

[hardy night]

there's not stessing of the servers with 300 people playing

[left narwhal]

It's not a stress test
.....

[ionic void]

No release date as of yet

[boreal belfry]

and how can i test it or play it

[regal gust]

q4 2026 and currently f2p both can be changed

[ionic void]

Sign up for access via steam, it is randomly selected 🙂

[willow torrent]

are you a dev?

[surreal sierra]

He’s been timed out

[celest scroll]

only in his wet dreams

[regal gust]

if the server is an old leftover PC from 2000. 300 ppl is stressing it.

[ionic void]

JOY - 3 cheers for that

[red plinth]

Jeezee wanted to go on with his day

[bitter lichen]

The thing is if they overdo the server count to more than can handle that would make the game less enjoyable for all, and they would not get the info they needed, I think they are doing a splended job. jolly good skipper. o7

[willow torrent]

i mean, i don't mind hearing someone else's "im always right" perspective,

[boreal belfry]

guys don’t ever stop developing this like this game would be a huge hit better than ark better than rust like everyone would play it but promote it and please actually release it and release it good

[surreal sierra]

We’ve had people try to rationalise them not having access to by using the numbers while completely ignoring the reality that this is the first of the real big tests. It’s an alpha and Yar stated as much

[ionic void]

Ahh he's been badgering on about it for ages

[lofty basin]

Hey, don't take my glory

[red plinth]

Owh. Lily wanted to go on with day

[surreal sierra]

Neither do I. I don’t mind people disagreeing with me or engaging in an actual discussion about it. But it becomes grating when it’s constant and no real insightful discussion is had

[ionic void]

Think we all did

[surreal sierra]

Anyways. That’s enough of that for the time being

[lofty basin]

Everyone is allowed to be wrong as well though. Heck, Im wrong in some things every day.

[left narwhal]

I'm always wrong

[jolly wolf]

im never wrong, example the sky is red!

[ionic void]

good thing about being wrong is you learn from it

[bitter lichen]

What amaziz me is people seem to not read the FAQ and/or just ignore it. it pretty much explaines everything about invites there.

[red plinth]

I think im never wrong. My gf sais thats wrong tho

[lofty basin]

Sunset:

[regal gust]

woudl you also be colour blind?

[jolly wolf]

DANG IT lily hahahha

[jolly wolf]

i am but lily figured it out:P

[surreal sierra]

Reality is still alpha right now. These problems will be resolved at a later date when the devs have had enough time to improve from here.

[left narwhal]

I demand UFOs in alpha

And lightsabers

[surreal sierra]

I second this one

[willow torrent]

i'm never wrong

[ionic void]

As far as I can see, there aint any problems, I tested Valheim back in the days of alpha and it was smalltime - the game has come so far

I expect a similar journey for this pirate love story

[left narwhal]

I don't think any1 minds the sample size Beeing small, people mind not Beeing part of that small sample size

[bitter lichen]

Cant please everyone.

[ionic void]

Theres that word again!

[surreal sierra]

Love your streams by the way (big fan)

[lofty basin]

Frustration were expected, but I believe we have all the means to deal with them.

[left narwhal]

Hey I'm laying on the beach Beeing a real life pirate with no ship xD

[ionic void]

Do you have a jar of dirt and some rum?

[surreal sierra]

I remember saying something along the lines of ‘it’s an alpha. Teething problems are always guaranteed’

[celest scroll]

yup i did valheim, castway, vikings, green hell, not uncommon to have to wait to test and be expected to provide feed back. some people dont get it 🙂

[jolly wolf]

i have the rum and dirt yes

[left narwhal]

Jar of dirt is present

[lofty basin]

Well, as a pirate you should know how to acquire one of these

[willow torrent]

thank you

[grand light]

As I explained many times before, we have LIMITED SERVERS CAPACITY on this Alpha. We cannot host many people and gradually increase the load to see how our backend works -- in all aspects, like coop stuff, regional connectivity, etc.

One last time I politely ask you to stop this, as this conversation does not help anybody. We cannot expand capacity much, and there is no need to -- the game will take many more months to develop, and there will be other playtests -- where, for example , we will be testing more multiplayer activities, and will prepare more server slots. I appreciate your point of view with Chrono Odyssey, but Chrono Odyssey is one game, and Crosswind is another game, they may have 1000 reasons to do their playteast like this, and cheers to them. We have our own playtest, and our own situation, and we will be doing it our own way in the best interest of future Crosswind and its community.

[surreal sierra]

But I want a fully polished and finished game NOW

[jolly wolf]

didnt chrono oddesy last playtest become a massive flop so thats not a good game to use as an example bahahhah

[ionic void]

Best go play starfield whilst you wait

[surreal sierra]

Never played starfield. I am however in the middle of a cyberpunk playthrough.

Love this game

[daring terrace]

I would like to apply for the Playtest — how can I do that?

[ionic void]

Request access on steam

[bitter lichen]

the most polished game is PONG. best game ever

[ionic void]

it is not guarenteed but it will put you in a pool for random selection

[lofty basin]

Still waiting for gameplay patch

such a fantastic game/story

[ionic void]

brb

[daring terrace]

I've already done that, is there anything else I need to do?

[urban spear]

whats the fastest way to increase my overall power? Currently on 200 but need 260 minimum for the boss fight

[celest scroll]

never got into the futuristic games, i played halo a bit but thats as much as i could do. alwasy been into the pirate/viking/midevil era games thats my bread and butter since 98

[lofty basin]

Upgrade your gear. It's as simple as that

[bitter lichen]

They did add a new feature they made the ball a slighty differnt colour @lofty basin (note this isnt true just in case its just for fun)

[surreal sierra]

I got 2 keys left to give away. Hmmm

[ionic void]

have patience 🙂

[ionic void]

what do you need? what can I do to let your finger just type my name into your DM's?

[celest scroll]

https://tenor.com/view/cheese-cheeseburger-suck-gif-19604466

[bitter lichen]

Gratz @surreal sierra Pick wisely ;P

[uncut narwhal]

So basically no more keys given out

[lofty basin]

Bro just sliced his arm and let it dangle in a shark tank

[jolly wolf]

jeezee you should ask them to make a pirate joke best one wins

[surreal sierra]

@jolly wolf I completely forgot to mention but a friend of mine is currently looking after a pair of kittens

THEYRE SO CUTE

[ionic void]

Im a professional chef @surreal sierra in the UK and I run a fine dining restaurant - invite is in the post

[bitter lichen]

AaAwwwwwwww

[surreal sierra]

I live life on the edge

[ionic void]

Nice cat - almost as cute as my boy

[lofty basin]

As some people will rotate out from activity, more keys will be given out over the span of the next week's.

[jolly wolf]

OMG LOOK AT HOW CUTE! awww and they doing the lil ball of flooof nap

[celest scroll]

im cute and tall and funny @surreal sierra im a semi professional commedian and gamer 😄 nothing really to offer lmao except streaming and off color humor 😄

[ionic void]

I feel like were all auditioning

[daring terrace]

ok ty for the information

[ionic void]

Yw 🙂

[celest scroll]

i draw the line at wearing a dress though... but id consider a kilt

[shrewd arch]

Hi everyone hope your all having a great day

[bitter lichen]

@surreal sierra use them spare keys as a fake hand/hook. and go by the name of JeeZee KeyBlade hand. SOOORRRRRRAAAAAAAAA

[ionic void]

Bro - I'd wear fishnets - the whole shabang

[fossil oriole]

U should put them on auction

[surreal sierra]

Nah. The one thing we don’t do with our keys is sell them

[fossil oriole]

Ahhhh

[celest scroll]

sorry dudes in fishnets is a bad mental image lol

[ionic void]

Clearly you partner hasnt forced you to watch Ru pauls drag race

[bitter lichen]

It worked for rocky horror. not that i have a warped mind or anything

[prisma flax]

Why do boars knock you back into Narnia

[celest scroll]

o no i would unfortunately have very pressing coding to do or a streamathon to hold during that 😄

[rustic lark]

what's the origin country of the dev team?

[ionic void]

Yaaaasss Queen

[lofty basin]

I'm pretty sure it's quite international

[surreal sierra]

Ah I too am in the UK. From Scotland originally. Currently in London before moving north in a couple of weeks

[ionic void]

How far north?

My restaurant is in Nottinghamshire

[surreal sierra]

Got an apartment in Leeds city centre

[ionic void]

Ahh, about an hour away

ill send a deliveroo

[grand light]

Okay, so how do I ban a mod...

[frosty warren]

Really? I feel sorry for you 😄

[ionic void]

Leeds is fine 🙂

I did my Uni years in Leeds, had an awesome time

[torpid crane]

still waiting for my key :/

[ionic void]

Patience is the key, no one is guarenteed 🙂

[surreal sierra]

Well I am moving from Southampton, staying in London for a bit before going to Leeds. Ive been to worse places believe me

[ionic void]

Leeds when I was there had a nice area called clarence dock

[left narwhal]

You live in the UK not sure it can get much worse anyway

[frosty warren]

Really because that sounds like your jumping from the frying pan to the fire 😄

[lofty basin]

Living in the cursed swamps

[surreal sierra]

In my defence the apartment I got was from a family friend and ive stayed in it before. Its not THAT bad of a place

[ionic void]

London is too busy for me but Southampton I couldn't comment on as I've never been

[frosty warren]

I'm taking the pee

[left narwhal]

Is rather live the lowlands

[ionic void]

Once you've put your pirate touch on it, you'll be fine and dandy

[surreal sierra]

I will not disagree with that. Im planning on moving to the US in a few years once Ive done my commission with the Navy (hopefully)

[left narwhal]

Better wait until cheeto is replaced

[surreal sierra]

Oh absolutely. Ill be giving the place a small makeover

[left narwhal]

They might jail you for trying to get in the countey

[ionic void]

UK is going through a huge transition period in my opinion but lets not get into that here xD

[surreal sierra]

Im not going to comment on politics. We try to keep it out of this place

[ionic void]

Any way, about me in the dress and fish nets - do we have an accord?

[surreal sierra]

Sorry I glossed over this earlier. Loved nottinghamshire when I last visited. Gorgeous place

[celest scroll]

i just thought i had this image out of my mind and you bring it back up 😭

[lofty basin]

Talking about politics...
Given historically pirate ships and their crew were kind of a democracy... How come our crew has no say in where we are going or takes their share ? Usually going somewhere would have to be talked through with the crew

[violet mesa]

I saw a small patch this morning when logging in, any notes for it?

[ionic void]

Im about 20 mins from the city centre in a village where legend has it Robin Hood & Maid Marion got maried and it's the heart of sherwood forest

[ionic void]

I'll even shave my back

[lofty basin]

• Dodos can now wield weapons

[ionic void]

CAH CARRRH

[celest scroll]

wait are we auditioning again? did @surreal sierra miss my audition too? i put a lot of time and effort into 😄

[surreal sierra]

NO

[lofty basin]

Actually, no. We don't have any notes.
Might just be some behind the scenes stuff. 👀

With no player facing change

[ionic void]

They are getting ready for my presence

[dawn ledge]

got up long enough to check email, no invite, ok i can go pass back out for a few hours. HAH Hope you all have a most wonderful day, Safe Sails to you.

[celest scroll]

I am prior US Navy i could pull some strings 😄

[lofty basin]

When will we get a sword wielding dodo boss ?

I'd call him jeezee

[surreal sierra]

ty for your service

[surreal sierra]

yeah when are we being added as easter eggs?

[ionic void]

Emerald Dodo "3 Star" with Sabre

[lofty basin]

Would be kind of ironic if CW was the first game Id make it into gameplay.
I don't expect anything. And don't need anything. Just love being part of a good community

[short basalt]

I’d be greatful for a mullet

[ionic void]

I just wanna build my pirate party hut

[lofty basin]

mulleT

[surreal sierra]

I was kidding ofc. But it would be funny

[celest scroll]

ill rent you a spot on my beach for this 😄

[ionic void]

As long as I can invite Alestorm

[surreal sierra]

I adore community and am very grateful to be a part of the team helping ours here

[celest scroll]

just keep it stocked with rum

[short basalt]

Only issue is a mullet like mine or an American one

[ionic void]

Like Red Mullet?

That's the only mullet for me

[lofty basin]

If it is a MulleT it would be like yours.

[ionic void]

Cant beat cooking some fine red mullet

[coral storm]

^^^^ Currently watching Night of Champions

[coral storm]

Night of Champs is alright, no big hype behind anymore really

They shouldve kept it the old way, all the belts on the line for one night, thats why it was called night of champions, now its only like 3-4 belts up for grab.

[lofty basin]

Alright I'll try to take a nap. T and jeezee got you I hope

[ionic void]

Gnight, I think

[urban spear]

anyone know what the difference is between basic and homemade armour reinforcements?

[ionic void]

I cant help - I have no idea maybe check in one of the playtesting channels 🙂

[celest scroll]

night sleep good

[lofty basin]

Is it a different colour? If it's the same colour it doesn't matter.

[urban spear]

yea the basics are rare whereas the homemades are uncommon

does that mean i cant use the basic ones?

[lofty basin]

Correct.you can only upgrade the colour matching stuff

[urban spear]

alrighty thanks

[lofty basin]

So green upgrades green gear, blue upgrades blue and purple upgrades purple.

If you have leftover upgrade kits of a lower tier, slap them on something and put into dismantle table, you can get the Ressources out of it.

Don't be afraid to upgrade stuff, you can always get 100% back

[jaunty ledge]

anyone knows what the 400mb patch is about?

[ionic void]

Back end stuff

Was mentioned earlier 🙂

[jaunty ledge]

k thx

[urban spear]

oh right nice, right now its the other way around, the upgrade kits I have are better than my current clothes haha

[gusty rampart]

No new key update again??? Dang thought it was a daily thing

[ionic void]

I think its as a when the Dev's have time 🙂

[uncut narwhal]

I just want to play😭

[ionic void]

For sure, I'd love to get access - but just gotta hold out on an email there's lots of other titles to play 🙂

[toxic zephyr]

oh what does the update do? just got an update on steam but can't find what it is about

[ionic void]

Its just a back end update, nothing player facing 🙂

Mentioned by mods earlier

[graceful blaze]

as a SOT vet, I am usually skeptical of any pirate game, but this one is looking good so far. myself, and many others want this game to succeed. haven't got my key yet but seen enough content to give it a chance

[ionic void]

Likewise, big SoT player here - feel like this game has everything what SoT is missing imo 🙂

I like the balance of realism as well

Sometimes SoT felt a little to disney for me

even before the PoC tall tales

[sharp mirage]

give me alpha invite please 😵‍💫

[ionic void]

Did you request access on Steam?

[sharp mirage]

Yea

[ionic void]

Other than competitions and giveaways its random selection 🙂

[elfin charm]

yup

[ionic void]

This Alpha test is running approx one month - there is still chance and there will be more tests throughout the year

Keep the faith pirates 😉

[steady fog]

if my friend want request acces to alpha test he cannot do anymore?

[ionic void]

You can via steam 🙂

Please speak English here @steady fog 🙂

[steady fog]

sorry wrong dc server 😄

[ionic void]

Im not sure about respawning however there a lots of caves in the starter biome that hold copper from what I've seen on streams 🙂

He’s referring to the message about being patient

[raw sundial]

[ionic void]

Patience, if you've signed up your in with chance pirate 😉

[waxen compass]

ahh ok i wait and check every day ^^

[bleak talon]

Yeah that’s pretty much all you can do

The alpha is going on for a month so you’ll for sure get a chance

[ionic void]

I recommend touching grass sometimes, enjoying your days, and just like that, when your not expecting it, you may find treasure in your inbox

[vocal granite]

Hello people ^^

[ionic void]

Hi there

[vocal granite]

We all waiting for a key ? ^^

[elfin charm]

yup

[fading spindle]

I'm waiting for Ds2 seamless to release, but yeah a key is cool too

[ionic void]

Some have been lucky enough to be blessed by the pirate lords, the rest of us, still roaming the seas

[frail dune]

me too 🙏

[autumn girder]

give this man a round of applause

[heavy flicker]

@noble herald sooo whats up

[ionic void]

Currently - the sun & it's hot

[edgy saddle]

Lothaes where you from

[ionic void]

Im in the UK 🙂

[edgy saddle]

What's the temperature over there (in celcius pls)

[autumn girder]

Summer 2025 -> welcome to the hell

[edgy saddle]

Here where I live, in the Netherlands, is 27 celcius

I'm dying!!!!!!

[ionic void]

Currently 27 but expected 30+ today

[fading spindle]

It's reached 40 here yesterday

Maybe higher

[ionic void]

Luckily I have aircon but without it my house would be too hot to be at my desk 🙂 My PC is thanking me for the air con RN

[autumn girder]

Here, in Italy, there are 42°C

[edgy saddle]

4@?!

[ionic void]

Wooooow...

[edgy saddle]

OGMERTBGRWB

[fading spindle]

Italia hot

[ionic void]

My skin would probably melt

[edgy saddle]

That's a lot

[autumn girder]

So hot 🤣

[edgy saddle]

How can you live like that 😢

[fading spindle]

You don't

[autumn girder]

I don't know 😅

[ionic void]

I think you get used to it the more you have the weather

[fading spindle]

I was born in the north, swaddled in snow.

[hard bane]

for anyone in the US, when the temp hits around 40 degrees Celsius, that translates to over 100 degrees Fahrenheit.

[fading spindle]

Yet, here I am in the south.

I'm in the US lmao

[ionic void]

The UK has been getting progressivly hotter over the years for sure

Summers anyway

[hard bane]

yeah I know but some people don't get the whole Celcius/Freedom units thing

[ionic void]

Basic conversion for Celcius to Farenheit is double it and add 30

So if its 10 degress celcius its 50 fareheit roughly

[elfin galleon]

I live in the beautiful area of the middle of the united states, its suppose to be 105 today with 100 percent humidity and a 65 percent chance of rain to cool us down tonight

[ionic void]

But that method doesnt work for 0 and minus 🙂

[ionic void]

Damn, hot.

[elfin charm]

well no reason to be awake going to go back to sleep

[celest scroll]

ya 0 and below the numbers are actually closer to the same

[ionic void]

Exactly 🙂

According to my barometer

We are cooling down in the UK after today and change is coming, I expect rain/storms

[cloud nymph]

Are there any plans of land transportation as in horses ?

[celest scroll]

when you work on airplanes in the middle of the ocean on a boat you have to learn the conversion pretty quick 😉

[cloud nymph]

I saw soem streams and that walking can get tedious

[ionic void]

On old friend told me years ago - he's a gardener and had an allotment

[hard bane]

I literally said this to my chat yesterday. Running across some of these huge islands is a pain.

[celest scroll]

i would welcome those pains in my fingers right now to get my hands on this 😄

[cloud nymph]

Yeah I can imagine, kinda outdated to be honest to have a game without land transportation

[ionic void]

This is alpha - also row boat could help

[hard bane]

for the bigger islands, I would set up a quick travel bell o one side of the island, then sail my cutter to the other side so I could quick traval from one side to the other

[cloud nymph]

and hopefully they will nto resolve it by giving us teleportation

[drowsy vector]

Any chance by getting 1 key? 😄

[stuck sable]

https://tenor.com/view/davy-jones-potc-key-gif-22528713

[fast orchid]

Ahoy

[frank coral]

do they still let in ppl for playtest

[stuck sable]

Ahoy

[drowsy vector]

i already have one, one of my friends and me are trying to coop asap xD, i can't hold my patience since im waiting for him atm

[ionic void]

Aye aye

[celest scroll]

yes they are letting people in just have to be patient and wait in line 🙂

[drowsy vector]

nice

[celest scroll]

i would walk through quicksand to play right now 😄

[ionic void]

in a dress?

In fishnets?

[autumn girder]

Speaking of ships. Who knows, maybe in the distant future they'll introduce a magnificent man of war...

[celest scroll]

what is it with you and seeing me in dress? i said maybe a kilt thats the best your gonna get 😄

[ionic void]

Then you will have to wait like the rest of us! 😛

What would you do for a Kitkat bar?

[celest scroll]

[ionic void]

Pillaging the young pirates

[celest scroll]

[stuck sable]

Thats legit.

https://tenor.com/view/yup-dale-doback-step-brothers-yes-i-agree-gif-1579811350903017250

[fast orchid]

Valid

[ionic void]

Id change my kitkat hiding spot

leave empty rappers for the dad tax

[celest scroll]

thats how you get pillaged by ants 😄

[dim crest]

How do you repair buildings?

[celest scroll]

dad tax keeps it safe from ants and other foul land crawling scourage

[fast orchid]

Luckily I can't eat chocolate so my dad tax would be twizlers or lolipos

[elfin charm]

does it give you the skurvy?

[celest scroll]

starburst and twizzlers for me but i wasnt given that option lol

[ionic void]

technically as I have no children but do call my cat my son - my dad tax would be treat stix or tuna

[fast orchid]

Worse

[ionic void]

Diabetic?

[fast orchid]

No but it's a severe intolerance, so definitely stuck in the Lou if you know what I mean

[ionic void]

Got you

[elfin charm]

I got some crayons

[ionic void]

Is it just chocolate? or like all milk etc

[fast orchid]

Cocoa beans so even just a strong coffee

[elfin charm]

I'm allergic to caffiene myself so I get ya

[ionic void]

Damn, your the first person I've heard of with allergy

(Deal with lots of allergies in my role as Executive Chef)

[celest scroll]

OUCH! thats the worst allergy i ever heard of the pirate gods must hate you... i couldnt live without it

[fast orchid]

I drink monster zero to get around it

[ionic void]

imagine being allergic to bacon

that would be worse

[elfin charm]

yea its tough

[elfin charm]

ah nice

[hard bane]

if I don't have my morning coffee by like 10am, I get a debilitating migraine that lays me up the rest of the day

[celest scroll]

i wouldnt like being allergic to pork but i could possibly manage... but caffeine no sir count me out

[fast orchid]

It's perfect because I've been diagnosed with ADHD, for me it's that my brain can't produce enough Taurine so I just get the rest from those drinks

[ionic void]

I used to love energy drinks but I despise it now - I drink tea rather than coffee but maybe thats a british thing

[elfin charm]

I thought british people just had a tea IV implanted in them

[celest scroll]

I have adhd as well i cant focus without caffeine, i cant slow my brain down enough to process without it, i would never sleep or get anything done

[ionic void]

My older brother has just been diagnosed exactly the same, I told him, to embrace it as hes almost 50 and still be who he is and thats unique

He's concerned its going to effect his work etc and Im like well, it hasnt until now, now you know you just carry on bro

[celest scroll]

i dont drink caffiene for the "buzz" or the "energy" like most people i drink it to be able to deal with people or process what i need to do or fall asleep lol my brain is way too over active without it

[ionic void]

My fave drink is honestly sparkling water followed by beer

Not like one after the other but more like as number 1 & 2

[celest scroll]

i like to chase my cheap rum with good rum 😄

[ionic void]

Haha - boojie pirate

[celest scroll]

ya so if i have a big bottle of cheap sailor jerry or kraken (no i dont go low enough to drink captian morgan) i will follow it up with a good imported jaimaican rum 😄

[ionic void]

Have you heard of Bumbu?

[celest scroll]

bumbo sure

[ionic void]

Noice

[fast orchid]

@velvet beacon

[celest scroll]

its not bad, not my favorite its smooth and all but i like the aged flavor of the barrel and bumbo doesnt have that

[fading spindle]

I only buy top shelf bottles to line my tavern

[ionic void]

Im not a massive spirits guy

[red plinth]

Were talkin bout drinks? I dont drink alcohol. Need some1 to empty a shelf

[fading spindle]

I buy too much alcohol. I don't drink alot but I buy alot

[ionic void]

Sometimes I wish I didn't drink alcohol but for me its my de stress mechanism

[fading spindle]

Ew Ai images

[celest scroll]

well beer i just get a full stomach and no buzz anymore so i prefer a nice spirit or two instead. i dont drink to excess much aanymore so i would rather sip and enjoy it

[plain shard]

they said its going to be incrediablly small

so dont get to annoyed about not getting a key

[red plinth]

At least you can watch streams😀

[fierce inlet]

that i doo all the days xD

[ionic void]

Like I said earlier, go do other things and maybe, just maybe youll find treasure in your inbox soon 🙂

[red plinth]

Its time te set up stream for tonight again. Getto get hot in that room

[edgy saddle]

glhf!

[ionic void]

You streaming Crosswind? @red plinth

[red plinth]

Ofc!

[ionic void]

Nice, have a good one captain 🙂

[red plinth]

Doin 3 languages again, so everyone here can have a look 🙂

Main is dutch, but doin german and english if needed

[ionic void]

What im curious about is how my fairly high end setup will run the game at 4k

[elfin charm]

just playin with my crayons

[ionic void]

I didnt mean any offence

[fading spindle]

What's your rig?

I'm running 128gb ram, 4090 and a 9950x. Im sure I'd run the game 4k 120fps easy

[red plinth]

Wasnt to you. There was something else in between. Im sprry

[ionic void]

Ahhhhh - I walked away from the screen for like 3 mins haha

[red plinth]

Some1 deleted its message

[ionic void]

Gooood!

[ionic void]

I'm running at Astral ROG 5080 64gb ram 7800 3dx

[fading spindle]

Relatively same power as mine. You'd run 4k fine

[celest scroll]

im too lazy to type all my specs lol but they are on my channel lol

[ionic void]

Just watching Phuzzy's stream from a few days ago, music is absolute 🔥

[celest scroll]

ya im watching some streams as well so i know a little bit about whats goin on when i get in lol

[edgy saddle]

If I only had 666 followers 👀

[fading spindle]

Man rn I just waiting to go home. Lagiacrus dropped in monster hunter and I'm eager to fight him again lol

[surreal sierra]

me when bote

[ionic void]

I just wanna sail and build - im a simple pirate

[lofty smelt]

damn that sunset is beautiful

[elfin charm]

nice

I wanna build too

[lofty smelt]

Gotta hand it to the devs for an alpha that view is amazing

[ionic void]

It for sure looks epic - cant wait to watch the game grow

[lofty basin]

Gotta step it up.

[surreal sierra]

building is good fun. I'm still trying to plan out me whole base

[glossy sparrow]

I wanna compare it to my current love of atlas

[ionic void]

Now your just flexing at me

[surreal sierra]

In my defence. Moving house has taken a lot of time AND most of my time hasnt been spent in game, its been here managing things

[glossy sparrow]

Who schedules a house move during such an exciting time!

Seem poor planning.

🙂

[lofty basin]

Usually just unfortunate

[surreal sierra]

It was orignally planned for next week but irl circumstances changed. Hence why I wasnt able to host my community events like I planned

[lofty basin]

Scheduling your own time and gaming tests is horrible because testing schedule are often flimsy and are announced very last minute

[ionic void]

And those key give aways right @surreal sierra

[hard bane]

unlocked fishing last night so you know what that means.... Fishing dock down by the water.... Never gonna get the quest line done

[glossy sparrow]

hows the fishing?

[surreal sierra]

yes sadly. I wanted to host things like art competitions, game nights, trivia to name a few. all for keys. Maybe next time

[heavy sedge]

or just simply give them out to your loyal followers :3

[glossy sparrow]

hehehe

[ionic void]

I was about to ask as I've tried bribing with food, and offering public humiliation, best sharpen my pencils 😂

[glossy sparrow]

Have you tried Ascii

no dont

[naive rapids]

How do I create this sign?

[elfin charm]

want to borrow some crayons?

[blissful rampart]

Where ? 😢

[fast orchid]

Get all the others of them to be +9

[ionic void]

Crayons aren't my thing - I much prefer colouring pencils for shading

[surreal sierra]

aha. I dont have followers. I have 2 left and being very circumspect with who I hand them out to right now. Theyll be given within the next couple of days though im sure

[elfin charm]

bummer

[surreal sierra]

Good food. Eaiest way to a mans heart, or access keys

[naive rapids]

@fast orchidhow to make them +1 ?

[fast orchid]

Upgrade bench

[surreal sierra]

use trhe upgrade table

[ionic void]

You name it, I'll cook it for you.

[elfin charm]

I ruined my chance so I just sit here and wait

[naive rapids]

I don't have that))@fast orchid

[heavy sedge]

where that last 3 went then? havent heard any giveaways 🤔

[lofty basin]

Gotta upgrade all the different insignias fully first. Then also upgrade your bench fully

[surreal sierra]

really easy to get

[fast orchid]

this thing

[naive rapids]

@fast orchidAhhh thanks))

[fast orchid]

NP

[heavy sedge]

HE GRINDED THEM???

[hard bane]

the fishing is very bare bones right now. Cast your line, wait for big splash, right click to pull your line in with the fish. From what I've seen so far, there are shallow water fish and deep water fish and you basically right click them to cut them up into fillets for cooking.

[surreal sierra]

Theyre just ones given to the mods for us to do with as we please. Afaik most have given them to friends. Ive given out 3. 2 to people from here and 1 to a friend that asked me nicely

I have 2 left unused

[ionic void]

So asking nice could work

[heavy sedge]

I love you!

[fast orchid]

yes I did

[fading spindle]

Dude getting old sucks!

[surreal sierra]

yes it does

[fading spindle]

I'm not as fast as I use to be

[lofty basin]

+1 pistol and +2 arms.
Gotta grind more mate

[surreal sierra]

[ionic void]

Hey Jeezee, I love your name its so cool, that profile pic is awesome, Im so glad your getting your house move sorted and you have your new keys etc - talking of keys.... 👀

I imagine it would start something liek that

[lofty basin]

Might be able to craft a 2nd insignia today

Why ? I don't know

[fast orchid]

I'm having too much fun managing my 12 contractors

[surreal sierra]

https://tenor.com/view/oh-stop-it-blushing-shucks-say-more-gif-3934377622431647803

oh you

[velvet beacon]

seaweaver after what mision can you join a friend?

[lofty basin]

What the best way to get gold coins in your opinion ?

[heavy sedge]

wish you all the delicious muffins my man 🙂

[lofty basin]

After the tutorial stage when you get off the ship at the beginning

[fast orchid]

Pints of interest and the. Pirate camps

[fading spindle]

I really am eager to play, I just gotta wait for the email lol

[ionic void]

Seriously whats scary is i kinda look like the guy in the gif but with only slightly more hair

[elfin charm]

same

[lofty basin]

Yeah thought the camps were the way. I saw some sergeant drop them I think.

Not sure if that's the best way though.

[fast orchid]

@lofty basin you found the healing herb seed yet? That's likely what I'm grinding today

[river night]

How’s the gameplay goin folks who have keys?

[lofty basin]

So that's probably what I am missing.
Do you know where it drops ?

[fast orchid]

It's better odds than the frigatea

[ionic void]

Lots of streams out there if you wanna see 🙂

[hard bane]

see I want to grind stuff like building and upgrades out and build up my base but I also want to do the quest line to see Tortuga. I've seen some people post that they have completed the alpha story line already. I was wondering if they are able to continue to play after they complete it. If we can, then I may just grind out the quests then take my time afterwards to do all the building stuff

[fast orchid]

I kinda do? I'll send a pic with the icon on the map once I do

[lofty basin]

Sadly I am stuck at work today and tomorrow. So won't be able to play a lot.
Gonna do my casual swamp run today. But that's about it.

Gonna need more obsidian to upgrade my fish

[fast orchid]

Thankfully they added lots to the swamps

[ionic void]

Is Shrek waiting for us in ze Swamp?

[river night]

True, but most of em are in a language I don’t speak lol

[heavy sedge]

this sentence is really weird... obsidian, upgrading and fish, i wouldnt expect these words in the same sentence 😄

[glass topaz]

Just out of context here, is it public how many steam wishlists the game has right now?

[ionic void]

Ah I see your issue now 🙂

[river night]

Yeah

[ionic void]

You maybe able to add subtitles on YT

[hard bane]

1 billion, 647 million, 213 thousand and 27.

This is an approximation based on the amount to traction this game is getting

[river night]

True….

[river night]

WOAH

[lofty basin]

I said what I said

[blissful rampart]

Where is bandana ? I've clear all first biom ...

[weary surge]

good morning i just want to ssy Thank You!!!! devs finallly something million times better than Atlas and its only in Alpha man yall keep upp the good work just one suggestion balance sea and land no matter what yall do i still love it so far

[ionic void]

All feedback should be put directly into https://discord.com/channels/1260209458924224542/1298615271686279208

Looks great doesnt it!

[jovial knoll]

Its a questline reward if i recall

[blissful rampart]

Ah !

[left narwhal]

Nice

[steep moat]

The more videos I watch the more I need this game in my life

[ionic void]

I know that feeling, keep an eye on the horizon and you never know!!

[solid delta]

https://tenor.com/view/sad-pablo-lonely-alone-gif-12928789

[teal bramble]

same

[proud shell]

lol

[celest scroll]

sadly my hair beads and tricorn hat got delayed in shipping wont be here till tomorrow 😭 so i wont have them for stream today

[ionic void]

Did you get access 🙂

[celest scroll]

not yet.... i just want to be ready when i do 😉

[ionic void]

Gotcha! Good luck cap'n

[bitter lichen]

Hihi Pirates, Just being a landluba doing a bit of gardening.

[modest oxide]

Steam doesn’t share the exact number of wishlist like they do with other stats

[celest scroll]

ya stream is set up i already got my viewers notified we got new costumes and game play coming lol 😄

[modest oxide]

But the game is number #76 most wish listed on the steam store currently

[celest scroll]

i havent been this hyped about a game in long time not gonna lie

[ionic void]

I think that number will rise very soon

[ionic void]

Last time for me was Valheim

[modest oxide]

Being that high up is very good this far out in development, after this alpha they will probably drop a little bit until the next news or playtest. The real jump will come when they announce release or early access

[simple holly]

Anyone have a clue when they gonna give more access

[ionic void]

So far its a waiting game, however keep a weathered eye out pirate!

[modest oxide]

But throughout this alpha as people find the game and request access they will probably also wishlist, so they could climb pretty high during this test

[uncut narwhal]

When they fix there potato servers

[ionic void]

Servers are doing just fine

[fresh stone]

Are they done sending out keys?

[ionic void]

Keys will continue to be granted throught this playtest

[fresh stone]

Ohhh what about in the discord

Any giveaways left to go?

[ionic void]

Im not 100% but I expect more give aways as well

[fresh stone]

I’m only wondering cuz this game is hot and people wanna see content from it. My buddy and I run a media channel together and wanna post on it. That’s hard to do without both of us being granted access 😂

[surreal sierra]

https://tenor.com/view/doge-dogecoin-pirate-captain-ocean-gif-16296042634591047056

[ionic void]

Pirate Lords guide you then

[celest scroll]

jeezee the pug pirate

[lofty smelt]

thats it add dogs to the game so we can have a loyal pupper guard our ships

[ionic void]

Goodboi Deckhands ftw

But lets not forget cats eh?

[lofty basin]

Let's not clown react each other please.

[ionic void]

It's no sweat for me... brush it off 🙂

[celest scroll]

sorry @lofty basin only clowning the haters who are clowning others and disrespecting the game/staff cus they dont get instant access are crying... ill stop

[celest scroll]

i protect the nice guys i dont mind being the jerk 😄

[lofty smelt]

brother its an early alpha calm down

[ionic void]

I'll get you in fishnets soon

[celest scroll]

i dont doubt that lmfao

@lofty basin i took mine off, even though it was absolutely waranted.... just saying

[edgy saddle]

o/

[surreal sierra]

I am currently crying as a result of the hate. Tears are STREAMING down my face right now I am absolutely inconsolable

[ionic void]

What can I say? Do you need a cuddle?

[whole bramble]

are there any patchnotes for the new playtest update?

[ionic void]

Read https://discord.com/channels/1260209458924224542/1349707400336248842

[whole bramble]

what? I did lol

[thorn wren]

Alpha test isn't it available for everyone to test?

[ionic void]

Randomly selected people who requested access via steam

[waxen summit]

its just a server stability patch, nothing changed worth noting

[whole bramble]

thanks

[fresh shard]

hello all

[thorn wren]

Thank you

[ionic void]

Ahoy!

[thorn wren]

[celest scroll]

[ionic void]

Keep the faith

[lofty basin]

Is it 5 digits ?

Yes verifiable

[lofty basin]

Not too bad

[celest scroll]

now in ultima online, dark age of camelot ..... its more like 6 or 7 digits no lie

[jolly wolf]

i cant screenshot mine but its about 35k hours in bdo:P

[lofty basin]

This is 4 digits. ^^

[lofty basin]

Bro standing afk a lot

[jolly wolf]

nope i hated afk fishing:P

[bitter lichen]

Hy Highest played game is "life" hahahaa

[celest scroll]

yes like i said i dont have any 5 digits verifiable lol

[hard bane]

not sure of the play time but I played WoW for over 8 years

[summer kiln]

hey team. just have to say that as an alpha game I am absolutely loving the progress. for such an early game it feels more polished then i would of imagine. big cred to the devs loving my time with this so far

[jolly wolf]

sounds boring i bet it doesnt even have any good dlc

[celest scroll]

steam wasnt around when i started gaming

1998 -2025....

[edgy saddle]

huehuehuehue

[celest scroll]

you do the math.... lol

[edgy saddle]

I used XFIRE back in the days

[waxen summit]

not sure how i can view it but im sure runescape has the mosts hours. just from sitting on the second monitor lol

[surreal sierra]

Rookie numbers. I remember playing Cave Rock with my pal Ungga in south Pangea a couple million years ago

[edgy saddle]

My 4 top hours

[celest scroll]

and lets not forget these just my pc games... i coudlnt begin to count console games CoD, and halo since original xbox days 😄

[left narwhal]

If only league of legends tracked hours

Been playing since beta xD

my biggest time played is wow and it scares me

[left narwhal]

Owyeah wow is a big one for people that used to play that

[shut arch]

give me a key plssssssssssssssssssssssss

[lofty smelt]

I would be afraid to post mine ive got a few with over 1.5k hours

[left narwhal]

Hahah I tend to not stick to one game to much

Unless it's my favourite mobile game

[jolly wolf]

<

[left narwhal]

The amount of time I spend on that is woreysome

[lofty smelt]

top 1 for example

[left narwhal]

Really good game

But I ended up spending all my time in house parties xD

[jolly wolf]

yeah theres no real content in ff14 except rp parties:P

[lofty smelt]

not true tons of end game content and raids most of my time is from that

[rare flint]

Is it true this game do not refresh resources back after farming mine or anything like plants in the game?

[lofty smelt]

ultimates and savages etc

[left narwhal]

They mentioned there is a pretty much unlimited way of getting rss later on

[jolly wolf]

yeah i never found them challenging enough

[lofty smelt]

just do TOP and youll have your challenge

[elfin charm]

hmm

[waxen summit]

i havent noticed any of the mines regening, no. but theres more than enough ore around on the different islands. trees and shrubs can be planted once you find ||fertile soil||

[rare flint]

Thanks for clarifying. Interesting like a passive mining extractor or something that would be awesome

[jolly wolf]

did that aswell apple, its just not my game, i love the story but the raids and palace are just meh boring

[left narwhal]

I honestly have no idea about the specifics just saw the question earlier today Beeing answered

[waxen summit]

i imagine that will be a thing seeing as there as already a ||woodcutter's hut||

[winged kraken]

hello all

[jolly wolf]

ahoy!

[lofty basin]

||that indeed already exists||

[winged kraken]

just came across this game by watching partiallyroyal play it

[dim crest]

How do you level up the cooking fire to 2?

[noble herald]

See I told you they were still needing more. Congrats

[celest scroll]

hes got a great video i watched it as welll

[elfin charm]

well I see how this is going

[waxen summit]

check in the build menu. all crafting benches have their various upgrades in the same section as the bench. if you dont see the upgrade you are probably missing a major discovery to build what you need

[restive rain]

a lot of streamers are def milking the key giveaways lol

[dim crest]

Thank you, Sir.

[waxen summit]

have you made copper ingots yet?

[left narwhal]

Palworld style?

[edgy saddle]

Welcome

[dim crest]

No. Still looking for the metal, also is there a repair function for our buildings? Or do we get it later on?

[lofty basin]

Did not play pal world

[left narwhal]

😦

[waxen summit]

i think thats later on. i havent noticed any building degradation yet. the starting island should have a cave you can explore

[waxen summit]

similar. you find a contract for X resource gatherers hut. then you pay them coins for a set number of hours of work

[dim crest]

I accidentally hit my building killing Dodo's and was hoping I could repair it vs re-build.

[surreal sierra]

honestly at that point the whole building is ruined. You gotta start from scratch (I am joking)

[noble herald]

Good Morning Crosswind o/

[ionic void]

Imagine a if the Dodo had a sword!

[dim crest]

Careful, this is nightmare fuel

[waxen summit]

dont you dare speak that evil into existance

[ionic void]

Well ugggghhhh.... all I can say is sorry

[weak whale]

Hopefully I get access soon. Anyone know if they sent out more invites since playtest first launched?

[celest scroll]

I would smack that dodo up for sure!

[waxen summit]

i believe they are increasing the number daily.

[ionic void]

For now we're all waiting!

[weak whale]

@waxen summit thanks

[winged kraken]

patience is a virtue

shouldve seen people trying to wait for the dune playtest, some people lost their mind

[jovial knoll]

You should have seen for arc raiders

Ppl going crazy everywhere especially on reddit

[left narwhal]

Nice

[jovial knoll]

Spoiler alert

[frail bobcat]

Yo any way to get access lol

[ionic void]

For now just request via steam

[celest scroll]

apply and wait patiently 🙂

[ionic void]

Then wait it out - other than that, keep an eye open for giveaways and contests 🙂

[waxen summit]

^ this

i got my key thru the discord giveaway lol

[celest scroll]

im watching every channel like a hawk right now

[waxen summit]

itd be in news

[teal bramble]

Get @frail bobcat a key, would be some great extra exposure if he plays on stream 😮

[ionic void]

If your like me you struggle to react quick enough and then get paranoid when it says "failed"

[devout spire]

No key giveaway all weekend…

[waxen summit]

devs need their off time too lol

[celest scroll]

no worries matey if i get an extra key your first in my line 🙂

[ionic void]

No key giveaway but I expect the dev's are hard at work and couldve even took a day off 🙂

[ionic void]

A rum for you!

[lofty basin]

https://forms.gle/pJGNoLUDWrez2HUm7

Please fill out this survey, once granted the CC role you will be able to request a key.

[waxen summit]

pretty sure i just softlocked myself out of a ruin till i get friends on this game 😂 😂

[devout spire]

Probably but it also takes 2 minutes to setup another giveaway lol

[ionic void]

Im sure more will happen in the future 🙂

[waxen summit]

is only the first week of a 4-5 week long playtest, i doubt theyd stop giving keys out now

[fierce inlet]

i whish all other one good luck 🙂 ❤️

[hasty musk]

congratz 😭 think about us

[ionic void]

Congratulations

[celest scroll]

ya but those 2 mins letting in 2k more people could cause catastrophe on the server load and set them back 6 hours or more so its strategic

[celest scroll]

congrats have fun!

[fierce inlet]

thx 🙂 push my thumps for you all 🙂

[devout spire]

It’s like 20 people that get keys from the giveaway

[ionic void]

Did you get treasure in your inbox?

[left narwhal]

Lawl if a streamer like lirik wants to play the game you get him a key xD

[slow portal]

so hard to get a key, when is the next wave going out? 😦

[left narwhal]

Get ready for this discord to get a whole lot busier if lirik gets to play it on stream

[teal bramble]

Tonight ||I hope||

[waxen summit]

pretty sure steam trickle gives em. they set a target number and steam grants access over a period of hours

[celest scroll]

sometimes i wish i had the following of big streamers, and other times im happy with my small commuinity lol

[edgy umbra]

You’re actually believing that’s the real acct….if he wanted a key, his rep would get him one. Not ask in the Gen chat

[stiff lotus]

Hey just found this game and checking it out I do highly enjoy survival builders is the alpha test going well?

[left narwhal]

He has his twitch linked

[lofty basin]

Nothing we couldn't handle :)

[edgy umbra]

Anyone can link a twitch name in their profile—it doesn’t have to be yours.

You just type it in.

[lofty basin]

It's not unusual. :)

[edgy umbra]

I would be surprised if he didn’t already have a key. Saw some big names streaming/playing yesterday too.

[lofty basin]

If he didn't request before, he wouldn't have one.

Content creators are treated equal.

[celest scroll]

[noble herald]

[sturdy leaf]

[sturdy leaf]

Indeed good days sailing the 7 seas

[noble herald]

[sturdy leaf]

XD

[sturdy leaf]

😭

[noble herald]

Hehehe always fun picking on you buddy

[sturdy leaf]

I know lol

[random fog]

Please can I have it?

[celest scroll]

my stomach says its food time, but my brain says no way we missing a key give away buster 😄

[ionic void]

Only way to potentially get access atm is by requesting through steam 🙂

[uncut narwhal]

The pirate gods have granted my wishes i am so happy .

[uncut epoch]

lucky

[left narwhal]

Gratz man! Happy for u

[noble herald]

You spammed the key gifs so much discord told steam to give you one so you would stop! Jk jk glad you got a key

[modest yew]

[noble herald]

LOL

[ionic void]

Wow.... congrats matey

[sturdy leaf]

[random fog]

I don't get it when it launches on steam yet.

[uncut narwhal]

Thxs😃

[keen canyon]

Okay, ive been waiting for a good pirate game for YEARS - this looks like everything ive been waiting for. How is ship customization / aquiring new ships and crew? everything looks good but thats gonna be super important.

[noble herald]

The alpha play test is going on for 4 weeks approximately. There is no set release date but the hopes are for late 2026

[keen canyon]

Anyone know another way to get a key or is it just random??

[ionic void]

Random unless you win a giveaway etc

[waxen summit]

ship customization has not been implemented yet. currently theres a small offering of predefined ships

[prisma needle]

Random just kind of sucks for those who've been following the game for awhile and haven't gotten a key😔

[minor marlin]

That's life

[prisma needle]

sadly

[warm sail]

i have yet to be granted the wish from neptune

[waxen summit]

have you made a sacrifice to warrant a wish being granted?

[warm sail]

sadly no

i have ran out of rum, to make the grog

so i cannot, give my grog ration to the god of these islands
jeebus

[dire dragon]

can i ask will this test be under an NDA at all ?

[waxen summit]

then sink a maiden, sacrifice of flesh usually works. fish get hungry

[waxen summit]

nope

[keen canyon]

all I have to say is sid meyers pirates got it right and that came out 20 years ago. If any devs get a chance to read this, PLEASE just add raids on towns, NPC crew hiring and specialists ( but also option for friends to be crew), dating the governors or mayors daughter, flirtig with tavern wenches and getting mysterious details from the man in the corner and barkeep, different boats with customizable options and upgrades, top 10 pirates of the sea boss battles, treasure maps - the fact that combat and boss battles looks so good is exciting and leaves room for epic additions!

[surreal sierra]

No NDA this time. Youre free to stream, talk about and make content of the game

[waxen summit]

the ship is similar to AC Blackflag, each friend gets their own ship, rather than crewing the same

[dire dragon]

i will when i get access @surreal sierra ;P my community will probs enjoy this 😛

[surreal sierra]

[ionic void]

My offers still stand

https://tenor.com/view/twtpersonabey-peter-griffin-dancing-dress-gif-26618588

[lavish rune]

Love how everyone here has a "community" all of a sudden sweating hard trying to grab a key

[keen canyon]

to any and all devs, thank you for this game. it looks amazing, so excited to play, keep up the good work!

[tight panther]

Wo key

[waxen summit]

i mean, if they do they just fill out the creator survey and get a key lol

[celest scroll]

not that easy even creators have to wait guys

[quartz dawn]

when will the next keys be given?

[ionic void]

Where not sure 🙂

[stuck sable]

i wish steam would show me some love and send me a damn email, with a key. lol

[edgy saddle]

Unknown.

[noble herald]

@fast orchid come to https://discord.com/channels/1260209458924224542/1305816690222960640

[uncut narwhal]

Is there a way to cycle between weapons using mouse scroll wheel

[waxen summit]

no, but there isnt much cycling to be done since you can sword/pistol at the same time

[uncut narwhal]

Ah fair enough thx

[ionic void]

[fiery mango]

[edgy saddle]

[bitter lichen]

Just watching a streamer with the cutter, is how you aquire the next ship intended gameplay or is it just for Alpha testing and will it need a port of some sort to build it?

[harsh coral]

Doing well 🫡

How about yourself Corce?

[blazing jungle]

Tired 🙂 Working a lot through the summer to trying to take some time to check in here. Got a day off today. Going to see some family later but a little downtime rn is needed

[red plinth]

Quack

[harsh coral]

I've done the same, needed some time from work. On a little vacation. 😌

[ionic void]

Are we all just making animal noises now lmao

[fiery mango]

Leeeeee

[blazing jungle]

Awesome. Taking the time is important! Hope you enjoy

[deep torrent]

😀

[red plinth]

I met martijn like 4 years ago on discord, ye didnt had a make. 1 dc quack sound was yes. 2 was no xD

[ionic void]

I was making cat noises and things 😛

[fiery mango]

😄

[harsh coral]

I hope you do as well! ❤️

[red plinth]

His twitch name is translated “the duck”

[ionic void]

Gotta love ducks 🙂

[fiery mango]

yessir

love ducks

[ionic void]

In my kitchen my pastry chefs nickname is Canard

French for Duck 🙂

[fiery mango]

ah nice!

[red plinth]

Confi the canard?

[ionic void]

not quite

She always says " Ayup me duck " so we just nicknamed her Canard

[red plinth]

Ah. She just havin fun

[ionic void]

Yeahhh and she loves ducks

[red plinth]

Me to, in pieces. In my pan

[lime mango]

Are they still sending steam invite emails?

[red plinth]

Yes

[lime mango]

OK. I'll pray harder :3

[edgy kiln]

Hola all

[lime mango]

Ahoy

[ionic void]

Some people got them today 🙂

[red plinth]

they are sending like everyday now

[digital sage]

Does it send you an email when you get accepted? been watching streamers play it and it looks pretty good

[sly lichen]

Where is my invitation

[ionic void]

Steam will notify you

[lime mango]

I hope i get one I'm down bad for anything tallships trains or airships

As a atlas and skull and bones veteran I am loving what I see on twitch. The best pirate game I've seen since ye old potc online

I love the crabs

Can you cook them

[fast orchid]

Btw, to those playing and confused as to how to make your camp nicer, click the bonfire it tells you everything

[lime mango]

Yeah I love cooking in games

And fishing

[red plinth]

yes you can

[lofty basin]

Push that number higher!

Rested buff is actually so op

[red plinth]

im allready on lvl 4

[lime mango]

hums in French chef

[waxen summit]

its really good lol, at 20 comfort i get 6 stamina bars

[fast orchid]

I'm working on writing my feedback atm, I'm at 1 and a half pages they'll be posted soon, then I plan to

[ionic void]

Ahhhh da microdewave

[lofty basin]

Haven't been able to push it above 37 yet.

But 37 minutes with 7/8 stamina bars is pretty nice 😅

[lime mango]

Wonder if we can/will be able to paint ships

[lofty basin]

I think it is planned.

But not yet

[fast orchid]

It does say "Number of unique decorations" so we may have to figure out what counts as a unique decor to make it go higher

[lofty basin]

It's one per tier afaik

[waxen summit]

i think they have it planned for custom building ships i feel like i saw somewhere, dont hold me to that tho

[lofty basin]

So lights don't stack with other lights etc

Tables don't stack with other tables

[waxen summit]

see i thought that, but adding an iron lantern increased my comfort compared to just torces

[fast orchid]

The crop baskets do stack though so it's weird as to what does and doesn't stack

[lime mango]

Think we will be able to share ships as a clan eventually?

[lofty basin]

It's probably a +2 and not a +1 like the torch ?

I guess I can test more soon

[waxen summit]

i think they intend for everyone to have their own ship

[eternal dome]

on the roadmap it says something about crew on ships but i hope it doesnt mean npcs a

it doesnt make sense to have each guy have their own ship

[dim crest]

Is there a toggle I'm not seeing, so you can hold left click to chop and mine instead of clicking it over and over?

[waxen summit]

just noticed the iron lightings are a seperate section compared to regular lightings, so with an iron lantern and a normal tiki torch you can +3 from lights

[lofty basin]

Yes. It's one of those "brackets"

And then the highest there

[white tendon]

https://tenor.com/view/krusty-crew-patrick-spongebob-good-morning-gif-13024787

[lofty basin]

There's divider lines.

[lime mango]

Fare nuff. I would like to allow access to guns and storage but I want my own ship. I wonder how many ships they plan in future

[waxen summit]

no but i imagine they might add it, a number of people have requested it

i started using an auto clicker if im going res gathering lol

[lofty basin]

Currently we have 3. 3 more + transport already on roadmap

[white tendon]

How can i get a key? 😦

[ionic void]

Request on steam and be patient

[lime mango]

Did you know I played ark for a full year before realizing I could hold to harvest? Where roadmap

[fast orchid]

Ok feedback posted, time for bugs?

[quaint plover]

anyone got an extra key for your boy?

[edgy saddle]

No.

[lofty basin]

If you are a content creator, feel free to fill out the content creator survey here: https://forms.gle/pJGNoLUDWrez2HUm7
Otherwise your best bet is to request access though steam.

[smoky condor]

Is there a key limit for the Alphatest or is it for the server test why u guys are waiting to let the ppl join in ?

[tribal egret]

Guys, I don't think I can wait any longer... I need to play this gem right now

[edgy saddle]

We grew 1200 members in a day, 😮

[lofty basin]

There is definitely a server load limit.
Keys will be further distributed throughout the test dependend on server load and activity.

[waxen summit]

the alpha got a much higher number of requests then they planned, so its a matter of making sure the servers stay stable

[restive rain]

Im dying for access im tired of watching others enjoy thenselves ik but still lol

[lofty basin]

This test does not aim at stress testing the servers but to showcase the game for the first time to the public.

[stuck sable]

me too im tired of watching everyone else have the fun

[smoky condor]

@lofty basin i see, because there will be a huge number of players at the peak. like any other great game in the beginning...mostly >50k

[restive rain]

Ive joined just about every giveaway on twitch to no avail sadly lol

[lofty basin]

Currently the Ressources for a super large scaled test are not ready.
It's a very early alpha build.

Once this game gets to the state in which a large scale test can happen, I am sure it will.

[quaint plover]

thanks for the response tho!

[stuck sable]

Yes, its still early. Just impatient is all. kicks steam in the butt lol

[restive rain]

I cant remember any other time ive checked steam so many times again and again

[stuck sable]

yeah i check my email a few times a day

[mental lagoon]

same its been killing me

[restive rain]

I have my personal email on one of my work screens permanently lol

[smoky condor]

is it correct, that the game will be completly "F2P"? and if so , which kind of payment will be available there , only customs or is there something else on the tables ?
