[fast orchid]

Did you set your spawn and fix your gear?

[neon mountain]

yes

[fast orchid]

Hmmm

[frozen kestrel]

so it is a random key thing for those who request access thru steam okay bet

[fast orchid]

Yeah you may need to reset account and start a new then

[regal drum]

I ordered it on 03/30 and I'm waiting hahaha

[sick thicket]

Any news to keys giveaways?

[slim flame]

How long is this Playtest and how much is the game going to be priced?

[hallow verge]

just about 3 more weeks, and theire aiming for Free

[slim flame]

ugh....'free'. kick in the gut. Great if the go the PoE route.....f'ed if they go neary any other route.

One more question. Is Iron unlocked? I found the ore but not a pick to pick it.

[fast orchid]

Gotta beat the bosun first

[lofty surge]

I hope they are able to release as free, it would be great to have a really fun free game to release

[fast orchid]

Persona 5 has taught me the name of a new Pirate and honestly I kinda respect her, names Awilda

[analog sandal]

musketeer just decimated me lol

[blazing jungle]

Hi, sorry, I've been at work for the past 8 hours - was someone able to help you with this?

[noble herald]

I finaly found iron today

and died 11 times in my stream xD

[fast orchid]

Lies

[hardy tangle]

Is there a place for content creators to request access?

[fast orchid]

In the pins there is

[prisma zephyr]

jk

[lone oxide]

If they do I hope it isn’t full of alerts and screen clutter and menu clutter like Once Human for example.

[wintry skiff]

Any idea when game will be available to public?

[mild mauve]

Guys, can anyone help?

[hardy tangle]

Thanks @fast orchid which pin if you don’t mind. Me asking lol

[sharp pendant]

go to content creators and there is a pin top right

[hardy tangle]

@sharp pendant Ty

[lofty surge]

One awesome thing Once Human has done is they do listen to the feedback from the community and do make changes with the players input in mind.

[mild mauve]

Guys, what do I need to do to get access to the closed beta test?

[fast orchid]

Sorry I keep forgetting it moved to #│content-creators

[sharp pendant]

u wait in a line that is infinite

[fast orchid]

Read pins and look at messages

[sharp pendant]

nah bro had enough with that question

[mild mauve]

where to look for keys and monitor messages?

[fast orchid]

https://tenor.com/view/cant-argue-um-excuse-me-meme-i-want-to-suggest-ah-gif-16740228

[hallow verge]

#│announcements will say when its time, also streamers, also in pins

[mild mauve]

что делать с файлом .json

[sharp pendant]

nut most likely there isnt another giveaway til next week so just pray for steam or twitch

[fast orchid]

I don't know what Jason file you mean

[exotic obsidian]

Can I get into the playtest

[blazing jungle]

You can sure try!

[faint dove]

Anyonew around who's been playing a while and can share a screenshot of the map full uncovered?

[analog sandal]

Isnt it procedural gen with hand crafted poi?

[faint dove]

I believe it's just the starter island that's procedural

I might bew wrong about that tho

[hallow verge]

i feel like its more than that, could also be wrong

[fast orchid]

The island locations are set the points of interest and what's at them are randomized

[analog sandal]

Ah ok

[fast orchid]

Yee

[analog sandal]

Must be awesome to play with others

been playin by my self at least all
the mats drops are mine lol

[fast orchid]

It's definitely fun but can also be very buggy

The good news is when playing with others the non refill chests are instanced per player so you can also loot the good loot

[analog sandal]

nice

[finite moat]

you come out to devils throat ill play with you 😜

[fast orchid]

Don't do it that's PvP and it's bugged until you get a frigate!

[finite moat]

https://tenor.com/view/rex-fight-me-bunny-devil-artemis-gif-18353823183461695014

[fast orchid]

No! I already spent all afternoon bug testing and reporting to save my stuff!

[finite moat]

but it has the best fishing spots

[fast orchid]

So does the instanced ocean

Or even tortuga

[finite moat]

gotta get that master fisherman done

[fast orchid]

I already did

I got everything, every item and every quest (barring the one bugged quest)

[finite moat]

what bugged quest?

[fast orchid]

Killing all the insane bosses, hands keeps crashing

[finite moat]

oh ya hands is silly

[fast orchid]

But I got the reward written down so I'm not gonna beat him a second time on insane

[main chasm]

Good morning! ^^ wish you a great day guys.

[fast orchid]

But yeah apart from testing the already tested I've nothing to gain from PvP and everything to lose

[fast orchid]

Morn

[finite moat]

what u have nothing to lose if you dont tk out materials all your crafted stuff stay on your body

[fast orchid]

I have a freshly saved corrupted save to lose, we got one account soft locked and it couldn't summon the basic boat even in its home world for a solid 6 hours

[autumn girder]

Ahoy there and good morning!

[main chasm]

Good morning! ^^

[dim crest]

Once you unlock Tortuga, how do you get there?

[finite moat]

press v

[dim crest]

Thanks

Wait.. press V where? It does nothing in the map or just standing on land.

[finite moat]

be on ur cutter manning it

[vapid quail]

Can you not sleep the night or am I just an idiot

[outer bane]

go on your ship, take the helm, press v, aim at tortuga and then hold space

[still patrol]

no more keys?

[fast orchid]

Nah you can't sleep in the alpha

[vapid quail]

Hurray im not an idiot but damnit. Night

[fast orchid]

Should post that to feedback tho that's not a bad one

[stuck basin]

got emailed one today so their still sending

[finite moat]

once ur at totuga dont go to devils point

[still patrol]

steam?

[stuck basin]

ya

pretty good so far just got cutter

[still patrol]

congratss

[stuck basin]

then sailed to swamp and got messed up lol

[ionic sun]

No seems like devs are slowing down keys a ton. Think they like the amount in the wild right now

[frosty plinth]

this game looks so cool

[elder marsh]

Oh no no keys

[vague scroll]

No more keys you say?

[white hull]

Good morning all

[pearl ridge]

Hello there, i've been requesting access many time ago, even before they launch the alpha test, but now i didn't recieve any notif, anything should i do?

[vapid quail]

you are doing it

[pearl ridge]

But i deeply wanna try the game before the alpha ends

[vapid quail]

Its just fomo, it will pass.

[pearl ridge]

Im so done with the valorant comp i want something chill lmao

[vapid quail]

Play some Cozy keep or Teddys Haven

[fast orchid]

YO YOU PLAY COZY KEEP!?

[vapid quail]

Grabbed it yea lol

during the summer sale

[fast orchid]

Nicholas is slowly becoming a decent indie friend, they're a great dev

[faint dove]

Whats the best way to farm jewels, so i can upgrade to the legendary talisman?

[blazing jungle]

I feel this. Been leaning more into chill games than the sweaty competitive ones lately. Cozy games, goofy co ops with friends, some solo stuff.

[frosty plinth]

undead baron turned me onto this game i cant wait to play it

[vapid quail]

Same. Put like 70 hours in dune then went..... I need cozy now lol

[fast orchid]

Swamp big bois

[pearl ridge]

Indeed, something like "sons of the forest" and "crosswind" especially, the gaming community is dead tbh there's no much goofy coop games PvE

[faint dove]

The warriors, or the bigger bois?

[vapid quail]

Grabbed Cozy keep, Trash Goblin, Ore Bound, and Chinese Frontier

[blazing jungle]

I was hard up on dune when it came out, too, but now I'm working a lot and it feels bad to come home and think "whelp, time to farm aluminum for an hour"

[dim crest]

Where is the PvP action?

[pearl ridge]

That is what iam looking for, and iam looking so forward to get the access

[fast orchid]

Both can drop them

[fast orchid]

In the very jank PvP arena

[faint dove]

ty

[fast orchid]

Of course

[dim crest]

Where is it located?

[fast orchid]

Gotta make it to Tortuga, then you use the same method to go to devils throat

[finite moat]

yes come to devils throat

[blazing jungle]

REPO, The Headliners, Peak looks good but I havent tried it yet, BAPBAP is just a free arena brawler - good for private lobbies with friends, and recently tried the Restaurats playtest, which is exactly what it sounds like - everyone plays as a rat and you try to successfully run a restaurant as a team. Lots of laughs.... If you wanted some recommendations 😄

[dim crest]

Ahh, ok. Do you need a quest to unlock it or just Voyage there?

[fast orchid]

Just voyage

[pearl ridge]

Imma take those in considiration thank you, but is there any specific thing that i can do so i get a better chance to get the access to the alpha or its just a gambling thing lol

[blazing jungle]

Aside from keeping an eye on #│announcements and #│game-updates , the Steam lottery which is all RNG 😄

[dim crest]

Can you see other players in Tortuga, or just Devils Throat?

[fast orchid]

Both

But Tortuga is a PVE zone

[celest scroll]

is the dodo head broken? i have killed like 50 and not a single head....

[fast orchid]

I kept thinking the same thing, I believe only the star one can drop it but hunters can also bring them back

[faint dove]

How many swamp islands are there?

[fast orchid]

I believe only 3 or 4

[pure knoll]

Where to get the key?

[faint dove]

Any chance you could shasre a screencap of your map, if you have a decent amunt uncovered? Would help me out a bunch

[fast orchid]

Looking for one now

[mighty horizon]

You can register for playtest on steam

Sometimes is a giveaway on discord

[pure knoll]

I did it several days ago. This test will close soon but I still didnt get the key.

[faint dove]

still over 3 weeks left on the alpha

give it time

[mighty horizon]

Today is my birthday and i love finding and reporting bugs. I would love to get into the game today xD
But i am patient ^^

[main chasm]

As far as I know, it will be on 3 weeks. ^^

[faint dove]

I heard it was 4 weeks, and it started about 5 or 6 days ago

[main chasm]

I've heard about three weeks yesterday, so yup. That makes sense it was longer. ^^

[pure knoll]

Just want to play it with my wife. I think coop works in game.

[mighty horizon]

Same ^^

[main chasm]

You also want to play it with his wife? Nice. :p Is she famous or something? (I am kidding).

[vapid quail]

Whos wife we playing with?

[white hull]

I wanna play it while ignoring my wife lol

[main chasm]

Playing Crosswind! (Better to add so we are respectful and there are no missunderstandings :p )

[faint dove]

Roge's wife could learn a thing or two

[mighty horizon]

Think i play with my wife conan till release or access 😁

[autumn girder]

Should they start another delivery of access keys I will continue to try, but hope is becoming vain.
On the 21st I will go on vacation, ergo I have a little less than two weeks left.
If not, i will wait for the beta or directly the release of the video game.

[celest scroll]

EVERYONE is wanting to play guys its one of the hottest games on steam right now, and codes are still steadily being handed out just be patient 🙂 I promise even streamers are having to wait a couple days for a key. the best thing you can do is apply in steam and watch the discord channels for giveaways as mods have stated you still got plenty of time 😉

[pure knoll]

Yes, she is famous in many games.

[fast orchid]

You can get your own, I want to spend some quality time with mine and I'm not letting anyone else join

[vapid quail]

Mine is asleep

[main chasm]

Uuuu Bellwright was cool. ^^

[clear oak]

Is this game going to release into early access or have a full release? Just saw a video about it on YouTube and it looks great can't wait to give it a try

[celest scroll]

to be determined last we heard

[fast orchid]

I mean mine is too

[white hull]

@vapid quail mines the same i love this time of the morning the silence lol

[celest scroll]

i still say the coolest animation is opening coconut.. i still chuckle every time....

[vapid quail]

If I make the Rapier will it count as a saber for the quest?😂

[dusty carbon]

Keyss :(?

[vapid quail]

Morning? its 1030pm, If it was morning my goblin would be up since he wakes up at 6am the jerk

[celest scroll]

yes i went with the rapier

[autumn girder]

nooope

[dusty carbon]

Omaga..

[white hull]

@vapid quail 06.34 here im the early riser but she wakes at 7.30 to goto work

[celest scroll]

but i will probably end up using both, ill start with the rapier for bleed then swap to sabre for damage

[vapid quail]

I am as well. Until we had a kid and he decided to say ha. morning coffee and quiet for you? Naw

[finite moat]

my weapon of choice

[white hull]

@vapid quail my kids are all grown up and gone one in Australia and one the other side of the country. Me I retired at 50 so my days are my own now

@finite moat that looks pretty

[vapid quail]

Mine is almost 2.

[fast orchid]

I like the dueling rapier but I'm also built for precision

[finite moat]

agiu build swing fast hit hard

tho ithought about a strength build to knock ppl around with this

[fast orchid]

You might be able to break any number of posture with a fully upgraded purple version

[finite moat]

ya with the 420 version ya

[fast orchid]

Also can we discuss how the fish still takes weapon upgrade kits? Does this mean we're just hitting people with a fish that has all the ingots and stuff shoved into them?

[celest scroll]

thee heck you get that?

[sturdy sapphire]

So jealous of ya’ll playing this masterpiece 😭

[lofty basin]

Sadly not really. Tested around with it and its okayish. But nothing crazy

[fast orchid]

Neat

[foggy depot]

Gm

[lofty basin]

Was hoping to be able to fishslap everything into submission. But kinda doesn't work.
Maybe if 3 players play fishhies

[magic jay]

who would i speak too about a content creator tag?

[finite moat]

u mk n app

[lofty basin]

https://forms.gle/pJGNoLUDWrez2HUm7

Fill out this survey, then have a bit of patience as they cannot work through them at the same pace they did before.

[tranquil forge]

Just hopping in after the updates and I'm LOVING the new look and the new opening cinematic! The water as well looks gorgeous as ever. I'm a giddy gamer once more! Can't wait to break more ground on this again to see the changes since the last time I played :D!

[finite moat]

i cant wait tell we get people out ion devils throat for those who dare!!

[real light]

Rookie question, but where does one get extra iron ore once the main island is depleted?

[finite moat]

next island

then u can get a work contract from tortuga as well to get you iron every 8 hrs

[real light]

I assume that also comes with a cave icon? I could swear I explored 2 islands and didn't see one. Just more missed items and death icons from dying to dodos since I blew the iron on backpack + tier 2 fire

[finite moat]

ya they will be icons once u find one

[real light]

One more rookie question, I assume the masks are somehow a part of the story? Or is there another reason I can't drip myself out?

Glitterbeard in SOT is neat tbh

[finite moat]

mask is a collection items once u find all of them they will unlock someting for you

[real light]

Thanks

[finite moat]

these ones ya?

[faint dove]

just fyi for anyone that might find this handy- if you right click on the death icon it'll clear it from the map so it doesn't clutter it up

[uncut narwhal]

How different is each Biome,I'm still in the first.

[fast orchid]

Very

[real light]

Rip my fern seeds, you won't be missed 💀

[burnt tinsel]

C’mon, admin! Just let me do a lil’ fishing and sail my ship around, pleaaase! 😭😂

ADM, these fishin’ pics be givin’ me flashbacks... BAN ‘EM ALL before I grab me harpoon! 😂🦈

[tranquil forge]

hmm wasn't there a way to dual equip a torch and your weapon or tool?

[faint dove]

do resources respwn? Like, iron ore specifically?

[edgy saddle]

I hope everyone is having a lovely day today and wish you all a great upcoming weekend 🌹

[distant mountain]

I’m having nice day… ready for weekend since I’m away on holiday… how are you Blackbeard

[edgy saddle]

Work.

Sigh...

[faint dove]

Look at it as grinding materials

[edgy saddle]

Yeah...

8 hours so ain't that big of a deal

[lime elm]

Grinding materials for 8 hours sounds like too much

Need some PvE/PvP in between. What could the refference be to that?

[faint dove]

PVP= meeting with the boss

[lime elm]

Naaah, for me meeting my boss is like going for a duo dungeon run.

[distant mountain]

Is big deal

[lime elm]

More like meeting clients, that is pvp

[crisp sorrel]

Hallo . Do you think the owners will make more giveaways with Crosswind Playtest Steam Key ?

[slate cradle]

Give me access please!

[languid basin]

There are about 2,000 of us waiting here just on Discord.....:(

[slate cradle]

noooooooooooooooo...............

[sour locust]

yes

[slate cradle]

I heard they were goin to give more keys away soon.

[frail dune]

I wonder why there is not an open playtest as opposed to the current keys giveaway bit by bit... 🧐

[languid basin]

Around 50 to 150 units... calculate the odds...

[slate cradle]

My theory is stability. Their loading their hardware little by little?

[frail dune]

I believe the game can be played in solo offline right? So how is that an issue? Unless it's online only.

[slate cradle]

I think its online even though it can be single player. Too bad about the max 3 players though.

[frail dune]

if so, then i guess it makes sense.

I like how the UI reminds me of enshrouded 👍 but with pirates!

[slate cradle]

It totally looks like it will make console. If so, the wifey and I are all in.

[scenic crow]

because they cant handle a large amount of players atm

[surreal sierra]

Ayyy you got CC. Very nice

[ionic sun]

games not ready for an open playtest. also they would be wise to do an open playtest when the pvp is ready to have plenty of players

when its time to test the mmorpg part of the game they might do an open or semi open playtest

[jovial zephyr]

Morning peeps

[frail dune]

if it's an mmorpg, then it should not be labelled as 'single player' on steam.

[surreal sierra]

Crosswind is NOT an mmorpg

[frail dune]

that's what I thought so too 🧐

[surreal sierra]

It may have been advertised as one a while ago but it was changed as it did not truthfully reflect what the gameplay is

[primal roost]

Good morning

[thin bane]

what do i need to do to have a chance to take part in those giveaways for a key

[surreal sierra]

When the next one happens, look in #│announcements and hit the react button to enter

[thin bane]

any react button or a specific one?

[scenic crow]

the button will be adde dto the news

[lofty basin]

It's a star 🌟

[scenic crow]

if you are not sure you clicked it, just hit it again and youll receive a message that you already entered

[lofty basin]

This one to be exact

[thin bane]

okay thank you

[teal ridge]

@celest scroll grats on content creator!

[lean gulch]

Good moaning all,
How are we on this fine glorious day 🌞

[grand finch]

When is the next round of giveaway keys?

[lean gulch]

No news on the next just yet, keep an eye on the #│announcements and #│game-updates channels bud.

[surreal sierra]

Trust me you’ll see it

[lean gulch]

Morning Jeez

[storm glade]

How do I go about getting a key to test ??

[lean gulch]

Go to the steam store page and request access, and prayer the RNG gods like you.
Aside from that, keep an eye on the discord #│announcements & #│game-updates channels for any discord giveaways.

[plush jasper]

It's a shame that we don't have any information in advance for the day regarding possible opportunities to win a key.

[storm glade]

Gotcha thanks

[lean gulch]

https://tenor.com/view/good-luck-gif-14129006203736939143

[lean gulch]

I hear you, however the discord giveaways are an added extra opportunity given by the devs on top of the steam selection.
So I guess when they see some keys are not activated and they have space they decide to action on it.

[still patrol]

please more key

[fossil prairie]

hey all

[boreal bear]

whats this key ..? key to get game or :D?

@boreal bearskibidi!

[fossil prairie]

It’s a key for the game test aye

[boreal bear]

key my ass!

[fossil prairie]

Not sure what you mean but Oki doki

[boreal bear]

im eager to be keyed high key 😄

[fossil prairie]

Ahh haha

[lofty basin]

Please no swearing :p

[boreal bear]

ok

i be a good red dragon pirate boy!

[heavy locust]

if i use woodcuter for 8 hours for lumber where do they put the lumber and do they bring trebark aswell or just lumber

[boreal bear]

I DONT KNOW WAAA 😭

dont make me go back to dad pls XD

[lyric ember]

https://tenor.com/view/johnny-depp-pirate-pirate-salute-salute-intergalactic-pirates-of-the-caribbean-gif-25016099

[plush jasper]

For testers no just play, feedback also it's important

[fossil prairie]

Probably a silly question but where would I leave feedback ?

[lean gulch]

Exactly, it's an alpha, not a preview,
In the #1298615271686279208 channel

[fossil prairie]

Makes sense and most definitely a silly question haha thank you

[torpid dirge]

or there's an in-game survey which covers every aspect of the game (main menu)

sup chat

[fossil prairie]

Ahh perfect thank you

[fringe ruin]

wassup

[unique light]

[fossil prairie]

Hey Chuy

[dire dragon]

good morning all heres another day waiting 😛

[ebon hemlock]

Supsup, how has your guys experience been playing Crosswinds so far? I've been watching a lot of videos, and it looks really promising and refreshing compared to the current game scene/releases. I applied for the alpha as well 😛

[fossil prairie]

Only just started playing but so far so good, everything is nice and smooth, graphics are nice easy to follow tutorial and so on. So yeah man overall so far a great experience

[idle sage]

Finally got the cutter last night - ship movement feels really nice so far, the sound of the wood creaking when turning is perfect 👌🏼

[tribal cave]

sir how to join playtest

[sour locust]

@tribal cave

[idle sage]

On steam subscribe to the playtest, they're periodically granting access. Also check this discord as they've been doing giveaways for keys.

[sour locust]

look in the pinned notice

[tribal cave]

Ty

[idle sage]

So many trying to get access though, wish you luck 🫡

[reef creek]

Goodmorning.

[white hull]

@idle sage yeah tbf if I get a key happy days if I don't then I just wait for early or full release

[sour locust]

same here. but then i think i only play this game 😄

[surreal sierra]

Reminder: if you find gold whilst on the high seas, it’s mine. Hand it over

[sour locust]

nope 😛

[plush jasper]

gold = key ??

[surreal sierra]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1355222893868613662/1355222894795427980/NavCombatPrototype.gif

[sour locust]

i wont play pvp ^^ sawwy ^^

[surreal sierra]

Tbh I prefer pve too lol

[idle sage]

Which ship class? Has a lot more firepower than my newly found Cutter, now feeling inadequate again

[surreal sierra]

Even tho I suck at it

[sour locust]

😄

[modest yew]

does anyone have a video of the pvp? I can't find one anywhere, I'd love to see it

[surreal sierra]

I’m in the same boat. Literally. Only have the cutter

[idle sage]

ah that Gif isn't your Pov then

[surreal sierra]

No that’s one from the devs

Looks like it’s the frigate though

[sour locust]

nice 😮

[real pelican]

Hello im content creator with 1300 follows.. i need a key😋

[livid shuttle]

is there pvp in the game? 😮

[surreal sierra]

Yes there is but only within dedicated PvP zones

[sour locust]

register like others do 😄

[livid shuttle]

wow that's really cool! i was hoping there was a bit of pvp! but that means you can encounter other players around? even during the alpha?

[real pelican]

how can i register me?

[surreal sierra]

Yep. You can join another players word if you have their ID. Tortuga is also a multiplayer instance

A hub basically

[sour locust]

and then wait like we others do 😄

[surreal sierra]

Look at the pins in #│content-creators

[livid shuttle]

so the servers works a bit more like sea of thieves rather then, let's say, enshrouded as far as i'ìm understanding?

[surreal sierra]

Each player has their own instance. Other people can join if they have their hosts id. Tortuga is apparently a multiplayer hub area

There are dedicated PvP zones I am told which you’ll encounter other players

[livid shuttle]

thanks for the info! sounds really cool too! im actually doing the quest line to get to tortuga, i'm curious 😛

[marble viper]

So any Info about Keys for Casual Player no Creator´s ? I try it over Steam, try it by Stream on Twitch and here, no Luck at all

[white hull]

Keep and eye on #│announcements pal

[surreal sierra]

Steam is the main method invites are sent. Your next best bet is the giveaways hosted in here. Keep an eye on #│announcements for when the next one is being hosted

[marble viper]

ok thx

[uncut narwhal]

@surreal sierra if I have access to this alpha, do I automatically get access to the future betas

[lofty basin]

That is unknown to us.

And probably not defined yet

[uncut narwhal]

Hopefully it's like that , getting a key is painful

[low stump]

are we getting code today?

[lofty basin]

What kind of code ?
Morse code ?

😅

[surreal sierra]

We have no idea at this time. The focus is on the current test.

[faint dove]

Quick question, hoping someone who's been playing a while can confirm- how many islands are there? I seem to have founf three of each biome, plus the starter island. Is that right, or am i missing some?

[surreal sierra]

Info on that will come out in the future. No idea how long in the future

[idle sage]

When do I get my ship of the line 🤣

[surreal sierra]

Loads. They’re everywhere. No idea the exact number

[faint dove]

a lot of them arn't actual zones just set dressing. I've looked around, and like i said, seem to have found three of each biome.

[low stump]

yes a fibonacci

[velvet beacon]

hey how to get umbra essance?

[surreal sierra]

Then you’ve clearly explored more than I

[lofty basin]

||hack down infested trees and refine them in the furncae or banished masks||

[faint dove]

Steam says 56 hours...most of that sailing around,lol

[idle sage]

God damn I've only had time for 13hours with work currently 😮

[velvet beacon]

wich furnance?

[lofty basin]

big one

[faint dove]

Thankfully I've had some time off work, so had a chance to really sink into the game- which is honestly rare nowadays

[lofty basin]

@faint dove you are definetly missign some if you only found 3 per biom

[faint dove]

could i get a screenshot of your map if you've uncovered most of it? It'd help to see where abouts to check

[plain dune]

Should be like 6 djungle, 5 Highlands and 3 swamps

[lofty basin]

not ingamr currently

[faint dove]

no worries

[faint dove]

Okay, thanks, I'll have another sail around and see if i can spot them

[ebon plaza]

Haven't said anything about the game since playing it again, but this is such a high quality alpha. great job

[raw totem]

Definitely second this. So many aspects already in and well done.

[heavy sedge]

just wrote a feedback saying exactly this at the end 😄

[livid shuttle]

this is so spot on

[worldly garnet]

Morning Key hunters.

[vital mural]

**** ** / --*-

aww it messed up the morse code :/

[lyric ember]

i feel like this key is like one piece, we are all looking for it yet no one can find it 😄

[worldly garnet]

We see you Yar! get us some hope 🙂

[worldly garnet]

Agree haha

[restive rain]

Good morning guys

[worldly garnet]

Morning how is it?

[restive rain]

It's so good.I'm going to work with two hours of sleep

[worldly garnet]

eek.

[vital mural]

just looked it up only 4 people streaming crosswind on Twitch

[worldly garnet]

Most have played and gone to play other games again 😦

[restive rain]

Keep in mind there are more reg players than streamers playing

[vital mural]

Understand that one I stream but don't have a key for Crosswind so i stream other games right now

anyways going to bed good evening all.

[restive rain]

Goodnight im so tired lol

[livid shuttle]

i die so much in this game lmao

[rough wraith]

Good morning ;3

[restive rain]

Good morning

[rough wraith]

hows you all day going ? in Poland sooo hot ;cc

[jovial zephyr]

Nice n cool today uk

[rough wraith]

oh thats nice then ;3

[restive rain]

Havent died yet my wifes dies enough for both of us lol

Hot as balls here it was 101F the other day

[vital marten]

After 400 hours of Altus before it just died... I hope so so bad that crosswind is good.

although everything I hear about it so far makes me very hopeful

[restive rain]

I could never get into atlas it was a horrible reskin of ark ark tho over 10k hours between asa and ase

[restive rain]

Oh the game for being a close playtest its amazing been a while since ive seen such a polished game in such an early stage

[neon mural]

Ark was more about taming dinosaurs, Atlas you could tame things but really didnt need to, it was more about ship combat.

[restive rain]

If they keep going the way they are this game when it releases wont have any equals or rivals for game of the year

[vital marten]

atlas was bad dont get me wrong but it had so many idea's I just loved the... well... idea of.

Everything I see about crosswinds has me so hype though

[restive rain]

I got 2 hours of sleep cause i could not get off the game and the last time that happened was with the release of bg3

[worldly garnet]

Why not tame a cow and monkey haha

[vital marten]

Makes me very hype to hear, Honestly I was trying not to let myself get hype after being burned by skull and bones, sea of thives, atlas, blackwake.... ect ect ect lol

[neon mural]

blackwake was really cool, just required the one thing people hate doing... teamwork.

[worldly garnet]

True!

[vital marten]

ya, but thanks to that and a small playerbase it almost always fell into aruging and dead servers lol

[livid shuttle]

hoooooow? if i had a recount i'd probably have 50 deaths already

[buoyant shore]

You know you want to play this game when you have a fever dream that you’re playing it and when you wake up you check for access lol

[vital marten]

also, right now we are in a very small invite only alpha right? when does the alpha/closed beta ect start for us normal people?

IF thats something we know already, if not I understand its only for youtubers in such right now

[raw totem]

I'm not a streamer and I'm in, granted I got my key in a giveaway on discord here..

[slow crown]

Greetings, may I ask. How did you enter the giveaway?

[vital marten]

oh, I thought it was a streamer only beat right now and a "real" beta latter O_O

[worldly garnet]

@slow crown keep an eye on #│announcements

[slow crown]

will do, many thanks

[raw totem]

There were a few the other day and as Death said, it'll ping in news.

[vital marten]

Ah. well I hope I'm online when it happens

[worldly garnet]

None where given yesterday. But people did get in via steam.

[raw totem]

Well the last update they said there were 9k keys out, that would be a high number of streamers if so..

If I end up with one via steam as well definitely will give it away as I have no friends lol

[vital marten]

ya I had no idea there where that many out so far

[worldly garnet]

Not all 9k have been used.

[raw totem]

Right..

[slow crown]

appreciate the response, cheers.

[vital marten]

welp, fingers crossed

[lean gulch]

Atlas was great imo also, had everything from PVE to PVP, farming, crafting, taming, the full shebang

[grim iris]

Are they still giving out keys?

[white hull]

From my experience alphas usually last between 2 to 4 weeks some do push to 6 tho so who knows

[white hull]

Tbh I never played alpha

[lean gulch]

No news on the next giveaway just yet, but you can request access via steam, and prayer to the RNG gods

[worldly garnet]

Really hope the devs pick it up at some point. Still a game all of its own!

[grim iris]

ok thanks

[lean gulch]

The last few Alphas I've been lucky enough to test, have lasted much longer, into the months

[restive rain]

You can get access to the playtest in 2 ways

• A: gain access through requesting it on Steam
• B: win a giveaway in the #│announcements on this discord or in one of the streams that do giveaways

[vital marten]

ya, already did A so I just need to hope n pray im online when option B happens lol

[dawn viper]

C: get a key from a streamer right ?

[restive rain]

Then i wish you the best of luck

[restive rain]

If you have a streamer friend you can get a key from em

[dawn viper]

Playtest gg I guess

[worldly garnet]

Yar is my streamer friend right....

[restive rain]

Dont lose hope you can still win a giveaway or get in thru steam

[lean gulch]

There is always hope said Aragorn, son of Arathorn,

[raw totem]

Just discovered actual water and wind physics that throws your boat off course, another win for the devs...

[raw totem]

..and my axe.

[vital marten]

wait, I have not seen this yet, but it goes without saying we have fishing right

[lean gulch]

Said the great Gimli son of Gloin

[restive rain]

And my bow

[limber sapphire]

😐

[raw totem]

Apparently so, yet to do so myself.

[vital marten]

man I also just found out this game is free to play?? ... I'm not going to lie this game really has a chance to take off big

[spice rain]

I really wanna try this game... looks like souls-like + survival game, witch has insane potentials.

I hope the devs take some insepration from Miyazaki 🙂 thanks

[river cape]

are dodge and dash the same key, just trying to learn the parry technique

[sand tree]

Me 🙏🙏🙏 to the gaming gods for an access key. Love the look of this game and am following the progression of a lucky few whom have access 🤔🤔🤔

[night plover]

anyone can give me code

[buoyant shore]

Was it just big streamers who got access? As I stream but I haven’t made affiliate yet

[muted grail]

looking for keys too

is there a website to apply as content creator?

[buoyant shore]

I’m not sure I need to if so

[neon mural]

check pinned messages, first pin in here is the form

[restive rain]

You can get access to the playtest in 2 ways

• A: gain access through requesting it on Steam
• B: win a giveaway in the #│announcements on this discord or in one of the streams that do giveaways. If your a content creator check pinned messages in #│content-creators

[formal siren]

Sucks I’m trying to get into playtest but says watch for email.. yea.. sucks they never email you

[tranquil sorrel]

They aren't in control of that. Steam chooses at random.

[formal siren]

Ohhhh ok

[vague grotto]

it doesn't increase the chance of them sending you an email if you stare at your empty inbox, hope this helps.

[formal siren]

No one’s staring

[river violet]

i am lol

[formal siren]

I’ll keep playing dune and check here n there

[river violet]

yeah me too i guess

i just want to join my friends that are playing already....im falling behind 😢

[formal siren]

I need some to think bout joining guild in dune I’m almost done with pve content… sucks.. that or need a new game hence why I tried crosswind

[worldly garnet]

you will all start in the same place when its released in 2026

[river violet]

there is only so much teasing i can take

[still patrol]

anyone done playing it? if so can i borrow your account? i really wanna play

[formal siren]

I’ve been waiting for a good pirate game to come I didn’t even kno this was in dev I am always watching what’s being made

[tranquil sorrel]

Bro same though

[river violet]

that doesnt solve the issue of me wanting to play along with my friends now when thats what they are playing 🤔

[worldly garnet]

You are not guaranteed to even get in lol

[formal siren]

Ur kinda a stinker aren’t ya

[river violet]

this i know....hence the frustration 😂

[worldly garnet]

Realist id say 🙂

[formal siren]

Ya if I don’t get into the playtest initially I’ve never been asked to come later

[river violet]

may have to go back to skull and bones for my pirate fix.......but it's not the same 😢

[worldly garnet]

If your friends really care they will play a game you all can. Then play when you are not around lol #realfriends?

No its server side haha

[rough wraith]

Thats why in dune i buy from people 🙈

This is exactly why i don't play Dune 😂

[river violet]

not had any trouble on our server tbh🤔

[stuck sable]

i dont have dune yet, but that worm gives me Tremors vibes.

[rough wraith]

Hmm but in my opinion dune is cool really good game

[tepid ember]

eeei i need my key

where its the keey

[sharp pasture]

I got a message if i want to show this icon

[dapper sandal]

Hove long do you whit for the alpha test key aften request it. 🙂😉

[worldly garnet]

ahh I had the dune one already. So I didn't see that message.

[jovial zephyr]

Its random via Steam. I believe someone mentioned keys via steam are released hourly but that is unconfirmed.

[stuck sable]

I heard that as well like a week ago

[dapper sandal]

I will love to make a danish live YouTube video of the game so ther maby a more player in time.

[stuck basin]

think i waited 2 or three days via steam

[faint path]

I instantly requested access to this game when it was available and still no email 🤦🏻‍♂️ looks so good

[stuck basin]

yes i think i got lucky

[mighty owl]

I signed up about 3 weeks ago and still nothing lol

[dapper sandal]

Okay thx for you respons. 🙂😉

[neon mural]

look at it this way, if you had got access right away you would be out of things to do in game by now and may not be here to hang out.

[mighty owl]

Other side of that is…..I would’ve gotten to experience it already lol

[neon mural]

lol true

[mighty owl]

My buddy signed up right after me and he got access 3 or 4 days ago 😩

I just wanna sail the open seas with my bud lol

[sharp pendant]

M I the only OG in the discord yet to get a key 😭

[floral apex]

Hey Devs let me check this game out 🙏

Sail in a boat down there

[worldly garnet]

Any mods know if we might get keys today?

[lofty basin]

Boat 10kn

I’m on mobile stuck in traffic. Wouldn’t let me save as a gif

Also I clearly see both your paws in that pic meaning someone took it for you

[fast orchid]

I got my eyes on you

xD

[surreal sierra]

I would wear these

[wispy juniper]

yaa

[surreal sierra]

[worldly garnet]

please no spoilers lol

[neon mural]

ok

[mortal glen]

I just wanted to say that I discovered this game a few days ago and I have been watching quite a few videos since. I'm really hype and I hope that the team can take their time to make a great product.

I wanted to ask. Is it really difficult to get a key? I signed a few days ago in Steam, but I'm guessing there is a lot of people in queue. I have no problem in waiting, but the Alpha seems really fun to play hahaah

[worldly garnet]

Be good for a room for game questions for people. is that somthing <@&1354821664998817822> could sort out?

[willow topaz]

i believe access is given out randomly to anyone on the list so you have as good a chance as anyone who signed up months ago

[wispy juniper]

@naive maple

[short basalt]

Do you mean the #1298583059402063926

[mortal glen]

😮 thanks for the info

[velvet beacon]

is the video memory bug still a thing?

[worldly garnet]

more like a general chat like this. but for in game questions so people don't get spoilers that are trying to stay away from content.

[fast orchid]

Not a bad idea, could help me with sorting wiki priority too, lemme pose it

To be clear gonna wake up and sit at the desk first so give it time

[worldly garnet]

Thats cool you get sorted 🙂

easy for me at 2pm lol

[velvet beacon]

are you going live today?

[fast orchid]

The wiki is already up, I'm mostly taking screenshots and the finally later actually starting the meat of the wiki today

[restive rain]

Loving the quick build system and so many building pieces(i still cant build anything other than a box)

[oblique sedge]

Nice!

[pseudo arrow]

Hopefully we see more giveaways via steam or discord today 🙂 have a great start in the day everyone

[stone sorrel]

Where is giveaway in steam? :/

[restive rain]

They mean the key giveaways

[pseudo arrow]

Everyone that requested on steam is in the pool

[stiff lagoon]

I assume the steam request access is also done in batches, just automated with an email.

[pseudo arrow]

Just have to wait and see if you get lucky

[lament arch]

I would love to get a key. I'd probably even pay for it thats how bad I want to check it out

[restive rain]

Buying or selling isnt allowed or condoned in here

[stiff lagoon]

If you get caught buying a key you and the seller will get banned.

[lament arch]

my bad it was a figure of speach

[pseudo arrow]

At least cloudheim playtest starts in a few hours, excited to try that game as well

[dense falcon]

[restive rain]

All good bud just a friendly reminder so you dont get in trouble

[pseudo arrow]

Although it's under NDA so can't provide feedback

[lavish rune]

any good?

[lament arch]

all the players streaming crosswind on twitch speak other languages 😦

[loud belfry]

cloudheim?

[flint talon]

🔑 ??

[pseudo arrow]

The clips I saw looked very good

I wouldn't be able to provide any feedback tho, it looks a lot like a multiplayer breath of the wild

[dire beacon]

looks like breath of the wild but on steam. Depressing.

[restive rain]

Another playtest i applied to and never got accepted 🥲

[mighty forge]

I have found the hidden First Person Mode 🙂

Same, I love the Zelda games

Ocarina of time is my all time favorite though

[stuck sable]

its literally the time of day, american streamers are either going to work (lol) or havent woke up yet or began streaming another game.

[restive rain]

Sameeeeee

[regal gust]

No its not. Look any other game plenty of english speaking streams

[restive rain]

I recommend google translate lol

[lofty surge]

I have seen English ones

[dense falcon]

When will we get a streamer that talks in ASL

[somber moss]

Vacation so no work here lol

[regal gust]

Yeah live caption on chrome. Or safari (firerox doesn't have that) it can even auto translate

[pseudo arrow]

It's only 6:28 am on the West Coast so I bet most are asleep. 9:28 here on the east

[restive rain]

I feel like ive learned so much german/russian/french and these 2 days hunting down keys lol

[pseudo arrow]

Aw haha

[oblique sedge]

11:30pm here in Australia

[lament arch]

I've checked twitch throughout the day the last few days.... I do not see many english speaking crosswind streamers...

[astral lake]

Any word if they are adding more steam keys today?

[lament arch]

1-2 maybe?

[restive rain]

Nothing its all random and up to the devs

And word of advise dont go pinging the devs to ask

[lofty surge]

I can stream any time of day and I do see the different time zones.

That might be the difference then if you are hunting a key to get from a streamer or just wanting to watch gameplay.

[regal gust]

Unless they stopped completely sending out keys, steam keys will always be send out

[restive rain]

That could be a possibility

[regal gust]

Its not a possibility it what they said.

[restive rain]

And considering the evil mastermind of JeeZee hasnt said anything like before there might not be anymore

[oblique sedge]

Dannehtv is streaming now. He gave away a key earlier. I didn't win but still watching 🙂

[pseudo arrow]

I have to work soon, hopefully I won't miss any during the day if there are any

[oblique sedge]

The last giveaway showed up in the News tab.

[regal gust]

Check every 30-60mins

[pseudo arrow]

I'll try

[restive rain]

Ill try ping you in dms if any happen

[regal gust]

What a nice guy

[pseudo arrow]

I had the same thing on Sunday, thinking I got lucky and it was just a steam sale notification

[stuck sable]

Yeah if I win ill let ya know

[worldly garnet]

I sold a card lol

[pseudo arrow]

Appreciated 🙂

[unreal urchin]

Is there a minimum spec recommendation? I have a 3060 laptop and the thing is slowly struggling

[regal gust]

Yh 5090ti 126gb and a threadripper

[stuck sable]

3060 will be fine.

[pseudo arrow]

Worst part was it was my bday xD would have been so fun to try

[worldly garnet]

Would of been a nice free gift lol

[formal spruce]

so to get a game key takes what? i got many locks so will the key open them? sure they will.

[lofty basin]

Well happy belated birthday!

[restive rain]

No idea how laptops handle it but i got a 3080 ti and i have 60+ fps with everything on high

[pseudo arrow]

Thank you 😊

[glossy dirge]

Pirate, need, try, plz

[restive rain]

You can get access to the playtest in 2 ways

• A: gain access through requesting it on Steam
• B: win a giveaway in the #│announcements on this discord or in one of the streams that do giveaways. If your a content creator check pinned messages in #│content-creators

[glossy dirge]

C: Buy a boat

[dense falcon]

D: Buy a plane, the pirate path less traveled

[glossy dirge]

I was curious, are the devs from Enshrouded? I noticed soo many similarities

[restive rain]

E: change your legal name to that of a pirate

[restive rain]

Dont know honestly been wondering that myself

[glossy dirge]

So many UI and gameplay mechs are similar, beside it being a pirate game, that brought me in cuz I really enjoyed Enshrouded

[fast orchid]

My legal name is Seaweaver (The Pirate Robbert) Seaweaver

[dire beacon]

thats like saying theres valheim similarities is it the valheim devs. LOL

[glossy dirge]

Yeah but if you look at both, they literally have like almost identical gameplay use

I know they are different, I was asking if devs from Enshrouded worked on this not if its the same devs silly man

[dire beacon]

the left panel in the alpha trailer doesnt exist in enshrouded or in valheim

[astral tapir]

dont be saying it plays like balheim ffs that aint gd 😛

[restive rain]

Hey man all i know the game is on the path to becoming a masterpiece and def game of the year if they keep
It up

[dire beacon]

the shield icons for combat doesnt resemble anything of the other two games

[glossy dirge]

For sure, this game already looks great, I can just imagine whats next

[surreal sierra]

I wouldn’t say GOTY. We all know goty is paid for and rigged by the big publishers like Sony. Crosswind will be amazing absolutely. But goty will never be fair

[torpid quail]

crossing fingers for a key!

[dire beacon]

but take any game and analyze it and im sure you will find a reference to some other game that the devs probably played and enjoyed

[pseudo arrow]

Although a lot of small studios have been bringing out hit games. Look at Lethal Company, REPO or Peak

[glossy dirge]

Most definitely

[runic sigil]

Hello!!! I requested a content creator stream key a couple days ago and have been really excited to stream and play this game but haven’t heard anything back :(!

[pseudo arrow]

I enjoyed those games more than any AAA studio game from the past year

[dire beacon]

They stated this alpha is about 2 years of work and enshrouded came out in 2024 🤷

[surreal sierra]

Hi there. Did you fill out the form in #│content-creators ?

[sour mulch]

Is there a way to share quest objectives with your COOP partner? Seems like everything has to be done by BOTH people, objectives are not shared if I do something.

[hollow wind]

Ubisoft had their chance to make an open world Black Flag & they fumbled w/ the skull & bones

[runic sigil]

Yes

[sour mulch]

Also.. is there a way to COOP focus on 1 ship, rather htan having 2 separate ships / boats?

[runic sigil]

And I also have gone through keyfiler and I’m verified on there with my Twitch and TikTok.

[ebon merlin]

hi 🔑

[regal gust]

Sorry shift you play a pre alpha version ot doesnt have it all yet

[surreal sierra]

Ok. We do caution that it might take a while to hear anything back. The devs that are handling the applications are absolutely swamped right now both with game work and sorting through the CC applications

[hollow wind]

fortunately i don't see CW as being a black flag remake, it's got a lot more to it that sets it apart

[dire beacon]

no they leaked that they are potentially remaking black flag

Your right well to the players it will be i guess

[earnest sparrow]

havent any giveaway?

[worldly garnet]

I am sure they have a valid reason for not adding too many to the servers.

[sharp pasture]

Dude what is this 😂

[fast orchid]

TFW you get a whole wiki form set up but no one playing wants to help you fill it out 🥲

[stiff lagoon]

Bonus points if it's a sea plane.

[ebon merlin]

Is there a known date for when the game will be released?

[worldly garnet]

We got them and Tanks on Atlas first week haha

[restive rain]

Late 2026 early 2027

[lofty basin]

Golden tides
An early in development pirate Moba

[stiff lagoon]

Alpha to release in a year and a half is not bad.

[ebon merlin]

You took away my joy of living

[restive rain]

Nah keep in mind that when it does come out it will be even better

[sharp pasture]

This looks like Sea of Drift KEKW

[hard bane]

And from what I understand, they have been working on this for 2 years prior to this alpha release

[ebon merlin]

I know it will be good but I was expecting a process of a few months

[lofty basin]

Game development takes time.

[restive rain]

Now thats impressive 2 years to come up with a game as fantastic as this is just beyond amazing

[lofty basin]

Good game development takes longer.

[worldly garnet]

We want a Game that works. even it it takes 5 years.

[hollow hill]

howdy all

[stiff lagoon]

Wouldn't be surprised if there were a stress test at some point.

[restive rain]

Im sure there is

[fast orchid]

That's just called this test

[celest scroll]

i can attest to this, but they are getting them done, just be patient with them and remember we have 3 weeks left dont panic 🙂

[solar crow]

[fallen inlet]

I don't want to wait any longer and finally test this game 😭

[celest scroll]

i almost cried when i crashed to desktop after stream last night hoping i didnt have issue, but luckily everything worked perfectly fine this morning

[stiff lagoon]

Better odds browsing for giveaways and competing with a few thousand, than whatever the steam request access pool is.

[velvet beacon]

my game stil broke

[fast orchid]

Same here, I can't actually join my own worlds

[velvet beacon]

i cant join my world alone

someone other than me needs to be online

[fast orchid]

I can't join my world alone or with others, trust me I understand the pain, we just need to let devs work

[velvet beacon]

[fast orchid]

Trust me I know the attempts at solutions, my world is sadly gone for now, it's ok, I have all the items saved, I will be working on wiki myself today but trust me when I say I know

[sour mulch]

Anyone knows how to dismantle gear?

[signal leaf]

I have my sea shanties playlist ready, my desktop background picture is a jolly roger anyway for over 15 years now. I am totally ready for a code.

[hollow fern]

Wish I could have been involved with the beta I just didn't know this game existed lol

[noble herald]

Omg look what just showed up on my Facebook

[primal roost]

Not me after a week or so more ill focus on another game 🤷‍♂️

[hazy trout]

Yea checking a few times a day with hope to try it out. Have they announced any later betas?

[narrow nacelle]

Me neither, Lightshade

[noble herald]

Just saw this on my Facebook feed

[pearl plank]

best part is, on your ship - you can just hit 'B' to turn on the in-game shanties 💯

[ancient linden]

be really cool if we could play it ourselves

[livid shuttle]

and if they plan to add a way to unlock more shanties like in black flag, it will be amazing

[slate rune]

I know its cheesy, but are we region-locked?

[primal roost]

Back to my movies, was on to see what news was on codes

[ancient linden]

🥱

[primal roost]

Take care fellow pirates

[quiet portal]

[stiff lagoon]

Be nice if the songs matched the number of crew. So you don't have a ghost crew singing.

No, I just wanted to warn becuase I know the moment people see someone important is online someone is bound to try to ping them

[upper estuary]

Is there a link or a process to become a content creator for this game? I'm really hyped about it and would love to see what the requirements are. Thanks!

[fast orchid]

Check the pinned message in #│content-creators

[upper estuary]

Thanks a lot!

[worldly garnet]

Id never ping them. I want them working on the game also haha

[lofty basin]

@fast orchid you are someone important to me.
That's why I ping you.

[fast orchid]

To be fair wasn't supposed to be a warning for you just the others who would and saw the message sorry

[fast orchid]

you can ping me anytime

[lofty basin]

Fingers crossed

Gl to all who don't have keys maybe today will be our day

[eager wagon]

yessir, itching to be on the seas!

[restive rain]

Hopefully they do more giveaways today for you guys

[calm geyser]

Only 346 playing yet they released “9000 keys” it doesn’t add up

[lofty basin]

It kinda does

[calm geyser]

Kinda is crazy

[lofty basin]

Do you think everyone plays all the time ?

[wheat onyx]

Hello, I requested access to the alpha playtest a few days ago via Steam, but I haven’t received anything yet. Just wanted to check if there's a reason for the delay or if invites are still going out. Super excited to try the game and share it with my community! 🚀
Thanks in advance!

[sage birch]

They should lol

[fringe jay]

no but the peak was 460+ players..

[lofty basin]

The average playtime is 1-2h per day.

For all gaming

[calm geyser]

I guess their current servers can’t handle more than 500 players? Hmm

[lofty basin]

So if you have 18k access granted and devide it by 24 you get 750.

With a 300-400 player count that means that the average player with access spends half of their gaming time on Crosswind.

Or people that have requested access but can't play due to Vacation / illness / technical issues

[worldly garnet]

or Work

[lofty basin]

Even worse

[calm geyser]

Not discounting any probable statistics. But that being said, they should have a quota to reach. Like 1000 active daily players. Release keys to match that number

[lofty basin]

What if the quota is 300-400

Currently

[willow topaz]

I feel like the average daily play time for people who participate in playtests is going to be more than 1-2 hrs. The low end of daily play time is going to be people hopping on fortnite or madden for an hr or so.

[calm geyser]

Then you hit your mark, announce it.

[lofty basin]

But it's a dynamic number ?

[dense falcon]

What if the quota was raised to 1 morbillion

[calm geyser]

Everything is fluid, but if your mark is to hit max 500. And steam charts reflect that. It all makes sense

[tight panther]

All the same. Key amount is a lie

[willow topaz]

What if they only test up to 1000 players during the closed tests then 25000 drop in when they finally hit open beta?

[tight panther]

Fake hype generation

[fringe jay]

So its been 9 days since the alpha started. If they gave out 9000 keys, but the peak was 486 on 2 july and now they are around 340 online... Assuming an average of 400-+ players daily and if they play like 1-2h like u say its the average gaming thing that means 400 players x 24h x 9 days = 86.400 total h played. If we assume each player played around 2h/ day thats like 18h per player over 9 days. That means we can estimate the number of unique player.. 86.400 total hours / 18h per player it will be like 4800 players +-.. sooo they should do more giveaways in my opinion 😃

[calm geyser]

All this is totally valid. The question is, how many concurrent players are they looking to have online max at once. If it’s 1000, as an example, more keys should be released. If it’s 500, let those that signed up know, no more keys will be given out.

[tight panther]

I would argue that over 60% of discord people don’t have access

[lofty basin]

But as people stop playing, more keys can be handed out.
That's why the keys are getting constantly distributed over time depending on dynamic factors

[dense falcon]

I think people are sleeping on the fact 8000 of the estimated 9000 accounts could literally be accounts of people who saw the register button months ago, and haven't seen the email

[lofty basin]

Like server stability, player count, etc, etc.

[dense falcon]

[lofty basin]

The team is trying to enable as many people as possible to test the game

[worldly garnet]

Just trust the process

[jovial zephyr]

I'm one of those from months ago but not had any email and its not in my steam. I'm just patiently waiting

[calm geyser]

Way more, they reached 12k users yesterday. Claiming 9k access, but haven’t seen more than 450 concurrent online

[dense falcon]

80 zorbillion keys, right now

[tight panther]

They claimed 18k people have access

[dense falcon]

It would give us hope. Or shatter it. One or the other. Fun social experiment

[tight panther]

Fake hype as said before

[calm geyser]

“Hype”

[dense falcon]

What if we're all lying and you're the only one without a key

[visual jetty]

Afternoon! Hope that y'all are having a lovely day 😄
