i would give them no worries they are free advertisment for the game

[stuck sable]

I know. Im thinking of becoming a streamer, just so I dont have to wait any longer. lol

[visual sandal]

search for ''Crosswind Playtest'' not ''Crosswind''

[keen sail]

Bring me with you as a guest star

[thick drum]

but i would make a bot or something in website for people to sign up or add a limit of 1/3 days if u dont play the game ur access will go away to someone else

[stuck sable]

Yeah, I think that might be too complicated

[thick drum]

but that 1/3 days is only for when u get the access and if u never login u lose it

[keen sail]

I'd say a 7 day week would be better if you did that. What if someone can only play on weekends? Or they work 12 hour shifts?

[thick drum]

but the whole playtest is also very short so u would want people to stress the game and send out the bugs and videos

[thick drum]

i dont know accurate this is tho

did they say how many keys or users was granted access or what number they had in mind ?

[stuck sable]

Last I looked they said 20k

[thick drum]

oh then i need a key now XD

[obsidian relic]

is it still possible to request access here on discord?

[keen sail]

:P

[thick drum]

so if current players are only max 500 at same time maybe there's some hope for people in discord 😄

[obsidian relic]

oh wow - i am so happy for them. this is going to be great. possibly even on par with valheim

[stuck sable]

That tells me they do not have the server/bandwidth capacity to handle all the players who want to play.

[thick drum]

i feel like it will be better not many know this game yet and it has some pal world elements into it too 😄

[keen sail]

There is only hope if you're on the cool kid club

[visual sandal]

yes, maybe 50 keyss today for discord members 😄

[stuck sable]

Ive seen streamers with less than 500 followers get a Key... so...

[keen sail]

I'd love to see how quickly people spam to join a giveaway though

Oh yeah, definitely. People are just waiting for the notification.

[thick drum]

its too polished for 2 years 😄

[stuck sable]

maybe its AI generated?

[undone seal]

If it ain't broke...

[thick drum]

but u are a alpha tester so u have been around for a while

[keen sail]

13

[hard bane]

considering how they feel about AI art here... I doubt it

[pallid imp]

alpha herald is just the role given to content creators - they split up the smaller streamers into that role

so now content creators are people who meet their higher following requirements

[stuck sable]

Well they must be No Lifing the project, no girlfriend, wife, kids, etc. Thats a lot of work for just 2 years.

[pallid imp]

They chase a different kind of booty

[hard bane]

yeah I know. I always look for ways to point out that I stream the game without flat out saying I stream the game

[thick drum]

UE5 has got way better for making stuff faster and if they have some in house tech to keep things rolling faster like ashes of creation is doing but aoc is like way bigger game and team and still in alpha after like 8 years

[thick drum]

i heard they gonna drop the give away like in few min u cant leave 😄

[keen sail]

That's nice. I personally don't care to play the game though

[thick drum]

hahaha 😄

[winter frigate]

just here for the conversation huh

[undone seal]

Why are people asking for keys? Is it not a sign-up playtest thing? I'm pretty sure that's how I got mine?

[pallid imp]

gooner for the schooner

[keen sail]

1. I don't have the time 🫠
2. I prefer full release over playtest
3. I'm too lazy to apply for a key

[winter frigate]

the steam playtest sign up has over 400,000 applicants, is full of bots, and its randomly assigned without regard to when you opted in, you got lucky if you got in through steam

[keen sail]

No, but if that's what you want to believe 🙂

[thick drum]

cuz they do give aways for keys in discord from time to time and yes u can apply via steam but keys are limited right now and almost impossible via steam since almost 450k ppl are waiting for a key 😄

[undone seal]

Ah, guess I was lucky then.

[stuck sable]

Its one of those things you should of been here for in the beginning, otherwise, now that there are well over 400k people wanting a Key, the chances are very slim now.

[pallid imp]

very

[undone seal]

Didn't realise that was the case, gg to CW then.

[winter frigate]

plus steam keys only get pushed when they tell steam they want more testers, its not even a daily dispersement

[pallid imp]

"people"

[undone seal]

I enjoyed building my home last night - still have to finish it without boars smacking my booty.

[stuck sable]

You can say people, you can say accounts, whatever. Same thing really. Chances are slim.

[thick drum]

who said its bots tho ? lol

[pallid imp]

Bots arent people

[faint dove]

Where is that participant access number from? Like, is it somethign the devs have actually posted?

[stuck sable]

And with my luck, Im waiting til release lol

[pallid imp]

All steam registrations are 80-95% bots because its easy and websites sell bot steam accounts with access

Theres a reason over 21,000 have access yet never hit 500 peak players and lower average players, futhermore far less people are in the Discord

Steam just can't do a huge amount about it to an extent - its not CW's fault, it just happens with these registrations

[thick drum]

steamdb its what public can see dont know how accurate it is

[pallid imp]

its accurate I don't think I've ever seen it disputed, i'm not 100% sure how they gather the information though

[winter frigate]

yeah, dev posted the access and sign ups

[thick drum]

oh interesting

[faint dove]

Where abouts?

[stuck sable]

people pay money to just generate steam accounts? am i hearing that right?

[pallid imp]

#│announcements message

That number of applications would have greatly increased by then too I wouldn't be at all surprised if its over 500,000 by now - many of which bots

[winter frigate]

yup, if there are over 400,000 registrations, 20,000 keys distributed, 15k in discord, and less than 500 peak players, you know it's bots sitting on accounts, lol

[stuck sable]

Thats insane...

[winter frigate]

in news

[pallid imp]

Yeah for sure, especially when you see so many websites and accounts for sale, players aint selling their accounts haha

They gave a further 500+ keys out since that news post and the average players still kept going down and still nowhere close to beating their previous peak

and I think I saw one single person come into the discord within the 5 hours after the further keys to say they got one

Not like everyone will come in here announcing it, but still, most of those keys went to bots

[winter frigate]

steam could squash the bots pretty much immediately, but im sure the registered accounts benefits them

[pallid imp]

Yeah they likely don't have much incentive to do it

CW could just battle it by giving out more keys, but they don't actually want more players, otherwise they'd just give out more keys and do Discord giveaways

Giving away 20 keys and not very often at all on Discord doesn't count

[stuck sable]

Oh if I got a key, id surely announce it!

[pallid imp]

yeah exactly, most would if they're in here and at all active, especially when they announced they were sending more out so people would be drawn to the discord and give their reaction

[stuck sable]

makes ya wonder dont it. smdh

[winter frigate]

They could add restrictions on account creation dates vs when a game was announced, require accounts to be aged a certain period of time, require a certain level of login activity and games played

[pallid imp]

Yeah theres a lot that could be done by both Steam and CW

Once Human had this issue too with their keys, lots of bots on most avenues of key distribution, but they certainly did more to combat it - I think it'd be better for CW to just announce that no more keys are going out and thats it except ones given out to streamers already

They obviously don't want more testers so would be better to not give fake hope to the amount of people coming in here asking how to play

[winter frigate]

bounties should've been added for streamers selling keys too, if someone reports you for selling keys, they take your place

[pallid imp]

but im just a dumbdumb on discord so

[visual sandal]

no key

[stuck sable]

and their wont be any more keys given out any time soon i bet

[pallid imp]

Yeah I doubt it, especially given the non-effect the previous 500 keys given out had on testers. Otherwise they would have done more or done something about it.

It's understandable, they have server limits and I don't think they expected this level of attention; but thats why you don't go hard on content creator programs this early if you can't handle it

[stuck sable]

ive about had it with checking my email too

You know, Ive got an easy solution and Ive seen other games find success with it... Crowdfunding.

In theory, they would then have the ability to get more server capacity.

[pallid imp]

They don't know how they want to fund their game yet so I don't blame them for not starting that yet, although I think its an obvious choice to have B2P, which then allows you to have founder packs, early access, and financial gain

free to play would be awful in this kind of game

[gray briar]

what does this game bring to the table to warrent a crowd fund tho

[pallid imp]

The game itself?

Many people are willing to support a game's development process, especially if they get something for it, and especially if the game will cost money anyway - people will support early to get a copy and to get access to testing phases

[stuck sable]

If people really want a project to succeed, they will gladly help.

[gray briar]

good points. But if they have backing already i feel people would find it hard to back it unless it had features never done before, but then again to your points some people will do it to support the developers. All tho this company has the backing and dont need it i think

[stuck sable]

As far as my knowledge goes, I dont know if they have any backing or not.

[winter frigate]

barely any games that go for crowd funding are ground breaking feats of innovation

[pallid imp]

its not like they're backed by EA and don't need any money

its three devs on a passion project - i'm not aware of any backing beyond themselves

[gray briar]

they must do to develop with and run servers

[stuck sable]

And I do know they lack Server capacity and all. Funding would help with that. shrug

[gray briar]

thats true but they must have money from some where or they would of done crowdfuning (youd think)

[hollow spire]

Founder packs. I’ll buy now!

[pallid imp]

Yeah there's a reason they can't handle a lot of testers its not simply the game's restrictions

[pallid imp]

thats why crowdfunding would be a good idea for them as you mentioned

the main thing is that they just don't know what funding model they want yet

[hollow spire]

Founders packs made POE

[pallid imp]

if they crowdfund now, then go free to play, there are complaints (im not saying they'd be valid ones)

especially if people expected it to be b2p as imo it should be

[gray briar]

how do you know that information, have had a dev talk? id like to read it to see what there plans are

[pallid imp]

devs have said they don't know what model they want yet (f2p vs b2p)

[hollow spire]

Nah no complaints if it’s cosmetic gains. Cooler ships, housing stuff, weapon skins etc…

[stuck sable]

Yes, as long as the store doesnt contain items that boost your skills, powers

Cosmetics are fine

[open cairn]

Has access to the playtest ended or will more keys be released?

[pallid imp]

Hasn't ended, and unlikely - if they do most will go to bots

[stuck sable]

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

[crisp shell]

You can always use a kickstarten model.

Kickstarter*

[pallid imp]

who knows maybe they will, all crowdfunding is similar in its base

but first they gotta figure out how they wanna fund the game tbh

[crisp shell]

Cosmetic ships cosmetic gear most cosmetic stuff like rust does. Is likely going to be a shot in the bullseye. I would happily drop 50 bucks a month tbh

[stuck sable]

Honestly, they should of had that figured out by now. Js.

[pallid imp]

Agreed, but my understanding is that originally they chose free to play, but now its not fully decided

so they're probably back to having to think about it

[open cairn]

Will this game be free forever? Have the devs mentioned anything about the in-game cash shop? "I want a lightsaber skin."

[pallid imp]

They havent decided on a funding model, its what we're literally talking about right now

Either way I'd expect an in-game shop regardless of free to play or buy to play

[worldly garnet]

Make it £25 and add a shop for cosmetics. Best of both worlds.

[pallid imp]

aye I'd pay £30-£40

[stuck sable]

Theres always going to be costs involved, so there will definitely be an in-game cash shop thing, cosmetics and nothing thatll make you OP is my guess. I wouldnt leave out the possibility of a price tag (b2p) of maybe, 20-30 bucks.

[open cairn]

The once human store model seems to be working. You could do the same.

[stuck sable]

Servers and bandwidth cost money, bills cost money, paying developer team costs money.

[pallid imp]

I wouldn't want the game to be free to play personally

[stuck sable]

Advertisments costs money

the cost of running a business, taxes even.

[delicate wharf]

Bug report: havent gotten a key yet

[hard bane]

thank you for not ACTUALLY putting that in the bug report

[dire beacon]

people have been though xD

[hard bane]

yeah I know. Thats why I thanked him

[waxen summit]

Are they still accepting players for te test. Im waiting a while now

[surreal sierra]

yes but rollout is slow

and not guaranteed for everyone

[pallid imp]

I wouldn't get your hopes up - if they do more rollouts its likely going to 90% bots

[grand finch]

Is this a bug or am I missing something? 2 of my copper mines have no unique items in them so am I just screwed and getting 37/37 unique locations explored then. Am I just stuck at 35/37?

[surreal sierra]

have you tired searching the bodies further in? Theres usually 2-3. Sometimes youll have to dig through some large copper veins to get to the deeper areas

[waxen summit]

That sucks..

[grand finch]

Alright will start mining thank you JeeZee.

[surreal sierra]

if you have done that and there genuinly are no new areas in the caves and youve 100% explored them I advise making a post in #1298615153209638942 with as much info as you can

[pallid imp]

Best bet would be to watch out for any content creators doing their own giveaways honestly. Sign up on steam, maybe you'll get very lucky, but I wouldn't keep checking your emails etc

its not CW's fault, Steam is just FULL of bots applying to this kinda thing

[waxen summit]

Test is only 2 weeks left right

[stuck sable]

Yeah Im not checking my email anymore, its just making me mad.

[grand finch]

Test ends July 20th

[pallid imp]

Yea just under

[waxen summit]

No eta on open betas ?

[waxen summit]

I dont say its cw fault

[pallid imp]

no i know dw

[hard bane]

so what I've noticed is that when I hover over the deposits, some don't say Unique items on them. I'm just assuming those are straight deposits with nothing but ore and bad guys in it.

[pallid imp]

No theres no further set date plans for future tests (there will be some I'm sure, just nothing announced for time frames etc)

[modern storm]

i also have this bug

[grand finch]

So I mined out the 2 copper mines no dead bodies to be found. Will report it in bug section, sad for that to happen. It really hurts to OCD pirates.

[eternal fjord]

Yo

[strange cipher]

Why is this co-op mode so bugged mna, I cannot play with anyone. We try to join and it just doesn't join into the same game. It's like a completely different world where we dont see each other. Same region, even same Country.

[real zephyr]

tbh it seems like a game worth paying for comparing it to what garbage AAA companies bring out these days. Unfortunately I didn't get into the alpha.
I know pvp is optional in this game, but can you encounter other players in the open world like in sea of thieves for example?

[scenic crow]

Not all mines have unique items

[pallid imp]

Currently you can play with 3 on a server but it is only an indication of this test not future plans

[dapper cove]

Will it be another playtest or this one has enough data to carry you guys to release?

[winter frigate]

future tests are planned, but nothing is currently planned with a date

[sage sierra]

https://tenor.com/view/husky-derp-sneeze-wheeze-funny-gif-12677759

Still no steam request granted

[pallid imp]

Release is Q4 2026 anyway, there'll be more tests

[winter frigate]

you're one in a sea of over 400,000 where it doesnt matter when you signed up, and invites only go out when they request them, dont expect access

[ionic sun]

I wish you could do something like steam account has had to spend 500 dollars over its lifetime to apply would get rid of most of the bots

[dapper cove]

Don't know, hope this isn't another Cubeworld xD

[sage sierra]

I know

Wait 400k!? Last time it was like 100

Holy crap happy for the devs

[winter frigate]

probably closer to 500k now honestly

[pallid imp]

Yeah very likely, and vast majority of em are bots

so idk how happy the devs are about it

[strange cipher]

Any info on this bug where you can't join otehrs pve mode?

[sage sierra]

But i really want to try it out , like I finally tried out Anvil Empires and I am glad i got the chance only to figure out it wasn t my cup of tea

[pallid imp]

Did you post in #1298615153209638942? or at least monitor it? thats the best place for it

[sage sierra]

Doubt there would be many bots thru steam right?

[pallid imp]

It's usually 80-95% being bots so yes, Steam doesn't do a whole lot about it and its not always that easy to do anyway without restricting real people too

[surreal sierra]

Unfortunately it’s bound to happen. It’s an early alpha

[pallid imp]

people bot, get a load of accounts with access, sell them for real money on websites which are already common with CW

[winter frigate]

There are over 400,000 applicants, 20,000 keys distributed, 15,000 people in discord, and the game has less than 500 peak, it's bots sitting on accounts

[sage sierra]

God damnnnnnnnn

[pallid imp]

more like 21000 keys as 500 were sent out since that screenshot but yes

[strange cipher]

YES FINALLY WORKS NOW

[winter frigate]

yeah, and there was only one person that day in discord that mentioned getting access, which would be extraordinarily low lol

[split delta]

Guys can i take these protective amulets or waht? @ya

[ionic sun]

Anvil empires felt so weird lol. One day we will get a good new PvP game

[sage sierra]

I really had high hopes lol

[ionic sun]

I mean I never did. The camera view will never let it feel like a true world. There’s a massive difference between sailing the seas in atlas or being on your walker in last oasis and foxhole

[winter frigate]

they never last, too many PvE carebears join the game and refuse to engage with the intended design and whine until it's changed to fit them, or the game just dies

or everyone wants to pvp, but nobody wants to be fodder, and that's what most people end up being

[pallid imp]

its another situation where you cant make players play exactly how you want

[echo thicket]

are they still inviting people to play or have they stopped?

[winter frigate]

we don't really know unless they tell us, you can see when the last publicized key push and giveaways were in discord

[echo thicket]

damn,i was hoping to get in before alpha was over

[cyan wren]

Hi all, just joined ..Can i ask when the playtest is over, So loving my time in game

[pallid imp]

20th of July

[cyan wren]

Couple more weeks, awesome..So much still to do, So much already done.

[tawdry locust]

I would just accept you aren’t getting in this playtest

There are so many accounts that have requested access. You are better off trying to win the lottery

[tawdry locust]

I thought it was the 23rd?

[cosmic beacon]

Man I think they are mostly done with key giveaways in discord which sucks

[pallid imp]

not like they gave out many anyway - they dont actually want more testers clearly

they can only support a limited number of testers so its understandable

[waxen heart]

no news for some more giving keys ?

[cosmic beacon]

It makes sense that their servers can't support more people but it still stinks that I got all my friends and siblings to join all the giveaways just to lose them all. And they kinda ended it off on their most controversial giveaway

[pallid imp]

No but they dont have set intervals for more regardless

They sent another 500 keys via steam although it had no effect to how many people were playing, and only 1 person in discord reported a key, so it mostly went to bots

[cosmic beacon]

They probably don't want people upset about losing the discord giveaways anymore

[pallid imp]

I think its more that they dont want testers

If they wanted more they'd give out more keys, not a measly 500 keys when 90% of the accounts signed up are bots

[waxen heart]

500 it not soo many in regard of the bots keys falling 😦

[pallid imp]

yea i mean theres a reason that they've given 21000+ keys out, never hit 500 players peak and a 500 key wave doesnt increase players at all

bots unfortunately spam these things and sell accounts with access on websites

[waxen heart]

why they dont give keys with double authentication , if not in 3days dismissit

[waxen heart]

thinking the same

[cosmic beacon]

At least the account selling stores are making a couple bucks nothing to do now but hope for another giveaway on the last week

[pallid imp]

I dont think they expected this level of attention (although thats why you dont go hard on content creator programs...) and don't actually want more testers right now

[winter frigate]

keys given through steam are assigned to accounts, not redeemed

[waxen heart]

you put on beta one game and you didnt expect 20k peoples to love the game, what a bad comercial thing

[pallid imp]

aye your account just gets access you cant give the keys to anyone else etc

content creators were given keys they could give out but thats limited and reliant on individual streamer's processes of giving them out - probably giving them to their friends and mods etc

[cosmic beacon]

Websites just sell the bot steam accounts with access

[neon mural]

The game isn't optimized yet, servers were pushed to their limits with the testers they had, and without forking out a lot more money for more servers I would think they would want to optimize the game first and not spend more on server use.

[pallid imp]

yeah I mean there's like 15k people in the Discord, ain't no way theres over 500k in the applications - its just all bots

[waxen heart]

too bad for us to play one good survival hard crafting, housing pirates game :((

[keen sail]

Eh, some people might have applied and not be in the server

[pallid imp]

its early in development, there'll be more tests and hopefully they have better distribution practices

[strange cipher]

This game is a gem 😉 Thank you

[pallid imp]

Yes but not making it 500,000 accounts, and not hitting 500 peak, nobody reporting keys in discord, average playerbase not changing with 500 key waves etc etc

[waxen heart]

hoping too, when more or less will come ? beta 2 or v1.0 ?

[cosmic beacon]

I have a feeling they are going to keep using steam to randomly give them out and it's only going to get harder to win one from the discord

[pallid imp]

There's no set plan for when the next will be - will just have to wait and see

[keen sail]

I'm aware, just saying 😭 I've already witnessed three conversations about most applications being bots

[waxen heart]

we are on holidays now 🙂

[cosmic beacon]

Especially if they make the next playtest require a new key rather than a update bc then everyone s back at square one

[winter frigate]

it's astronomically low chance that only one person in discord would report getting a key when 500 were pushed if there were majority of real people signed up, likelihood of someone joining the discord after receiving a key if they weren't already in it would be significantly higher

[green forge]

Hey, got a little question, does anyone know if this is reusable?

[waxen heart]

yes with cd

[green forge]

Neat, thanks

[winter frigate]

not to mention the 500 keys, didn't have an impact on player count

[pallid imp]

yeah thats the problem with them not just announcing no more keys or something

new people join, get excited thinking that theres a good chance they'll get in, and mods simply tell them they sign up on Steam without indicating a tiny chance

just makes people constantly check their emails which is sucky when their chances are that small

[winter frigate]

because it's statistically the most likely scenario

over 400k applicants, over 20k keys given out, over 15k people in discord, and not even 500 concurrent players, the math aint mathing

[winged warren]

I would definitely be in right now if I had a key 😂

[keen sail]

I believe that has already been stated :|

[winter thorn]

Same a key would be great.

[winter frigate]

yes, it has, and then you bring it up like it isn't the case, stating multiple conversations about it like that proves something to the contrary

[cyan wren]

Litterally cooldown last as long as it is summoned.

[boreal oxide]

Yeah, i've noticed

The Boar is more of a distraction, Gives you time to gather your thoughts etc.

[noble herald]

Good Morning, Crosswind

[bold hazel]

I’ll die to less drowners - does it work inside caves or only in open world on land?

[cyan wren]

Works in caves but wont summon in tight spaces

[winged warren]

So basically at the moment steam randomly chooses people from the applicants to get a key. But do we have a number that is chosen per day? Like how many keys are given out per day through the steam application?

[sinful crest]

@torpid dirge I'm amazed, despite being in alpha, the game already feels so polished. Performance is stable, with only some server-side lag, but overall I had no issues. And those boars... they still give me nightmares. XD Keep up the great work!

[winter frigate]

dont ping devs

[sinful crest]

ah sorry

[winter frigate]

kinda common sense tbh

[sinful crest]

I didn't know

[cyan wren]

Shocked myself, Im happy to wait for more polish but im happy to play full release..like now

[winter frigate]

no, steam doesn't do anything until the developers ask for more testers, there is no daily disbursement

[winged warren]

Ok, sounds good. So at this moment they are not getting anymore playtesters?

[winter frigate]

and keys are 100% randomly distributed when they are pushed, doesn't matter when you sign up, you could have a friend sign up before you, and after you, and they could both get keys, and you could never get one

[winged warren]

Yeh, I have done a bunch of play tests, was just curious how they were doing it. It they were asking for more everyday or not

[winter frigate]

we dont know that, we only know what they publicly disclose, and you can check news for the latest key giveaways and notifications that they've sent steam keys

[sinful crest]

I wonder how they implement the multiplayer aspect, will the game flow completely change from alpha or remains like that?

[winged warren]

Ok so they are putting them out daily, cool.

[winter frigate]

playtest ends on the 20th, but I've gotten confirmation from a dev that your access is retained into future playtests unless something goes wrong, so there is still value in getting an invite even if its near the end of the test

[winter frigate]

no, they arent

[winged warren]

In news it says they are pushing them out daily

[cyan wren]

Skull & Bones, Valheim, Atlas, Sea of thieves, It has it all ..And a pet Boar called Truffles...I dont blame people for shouting out to get keys, even this late ..But its a shame it hit your radar to far in the playtest.

[winged warren]

“We keep adding more playtesters DAILY” posted on July 5th

[winter frigate]

cant be many if they are, and there's over 400,000 accounts signed up

math alone tells you it's going to mostly bot accounts that sit on them to try to sell the accounts with access

[winged warren]

For sure, they are probably doing less than 1000/day

[winter frigate]

probably less than 100 a day

[winged warren]

Yeh which sucks. Stupid bots

[eternal linden]

Yep, and that kills hype extremely fast.

[bold hazel]

[pallid imp]

You didnt do anything wrong homie - he was referring to the person suggesting to do something nobody should

[dire drum]

I wasnt suggesting anything. work on your reading comprehension

[tribal hemlock]

hey quick question - I've read that as of now the game is up to 4 players at a time, are there plans to expand that, ie bigger servers etc?

[eternal linden]

Not sure, seems discorganized at the moment.

[astral violet]

I undertand now after rereading i thought i might have stared mutany thoughts

[pallid imp]

He asked for ways to get keys, you presented a way - that acts as a suggestion. But I won't discuss it with you further as you want to throw vague insults

[winter frigate]

https://tenor.com/view/suicide-kms-gif-4481206

[winged warren]

Your copy will explode after 10 seconds

[pallid imp]

Test is closed down, we wait for further tests which currently have no planned dates, and watch for any content / updates

[winter frigate]

more are planned, they're just not scheduled

[shy sand]

Oh ok. So I'm going to lose my world at that point and not be able to play till next playtest?

[winter frigate]

you'll lose your progress I believe, and wont be able to play after they close it, but you'll retain access into the next test whenever it goes live

so there is value in receiving access even in the last few days

[strange cipher]

How many bells can be used?

[shy sand]

Ouch. This game is SO good. I hope they do another soon. But i still have a couple of weeks. Does anyone know the excact day the playtest ends?

july 20th

Have you looked in the FAQ?

how do i get in the playtest?

[granite jetty]

I didn't find anything there about the languages ​​that will be

[worldly garnet]

Ahh ok

I have seen quite a lot asking about different languages.

[boreal oxide]

Steam signups or wait for a giveaway on twitch or here on discord.

[gilded elk]

I requested to playtest about a week ago and got no response any of you know if they are still accepting or if there is a limit

[celest coral]

10/4 signed up on steam a couple days ago

[boreal oxide]

Access in extremely limited. Currently only about 20k with access at the moment.

[lone pewter]

i requested a month ago lol probably wont get it until next go around

[gilded elk]

Awesome thank you for the info

[stuck sable]

and a bit over 400k , i think the number was 416k still waiting.

[celest coral]

that's really big actually

[gilded elk]

Looks like such a amazing game I've been watching one of my fav youtuber play it and it's right up my alley !!

[heavy ocean]

anyone have issues placing some craftin stations even though you have all the mats?

Its a very low chance; you're not the only one. Hope you have more luck in the next one if you dont get it this time!

[tribal hemlock]

Does anyone know if there are plans to expand the player count beyond 4 in a world at a time?

@astral sandal Ahoy xD

[astral sandal]

i was like what is happening lol

[boreal oxide]

No emote system or chat system, so got slightly creative lol

[granite oxide]

Will have to wait and see what their feedback is from this playtest and how things are going forward. the initial plan was for you and a couple friends to have access to your world area and then you'd go to the Open world content with everyone else later. will have to wait and see what they do with it 🙂

[tribal hemlock]

Fair

[granite oxide]

The open world would have the MMO elements, like pve/pvp raids, faction warefare, etc.

[astral sandal]

didnt even know we could meet in Tortuga. that was cool

[boreal oxide]

Yup! Tortuga is shared amongst everyone, I believe.

[astral sandal]

Pretty darn cool then

[surreal sierra]

Tortuga instances have up to 8 players then a new instance is created

[boreal oxide]

Ah okay, good to know. Didn't know there was a cap on the amount of players that could be there at once.

[cyan bramble]

Hi, how can i get acess?

[boreal oxide]

Sign up on steam, a twitch giveaway, or a discord giveaway here in the news channel.

[pallid imp]

pray to the gods and sacrifice something big you gotta be pretty damn lucky

[tropic quiver]

Can anyone help me? So here are 2 caves which I’m trying to finish but I can’t find any letters inside and or chests? I killed undead inside and running like 20times around, trying even to grind all the rocks inside but seems that can’t find anything…. Is it a bug or I’m missing something? Thanks

[boreal oxide]

Those caves dont contain unique loot.

[fast orchid]

Depends on if they say there's items left, if when you hover over it it says "Iron Deposit" there's nothing left

Someone said you could possibly clear it by mining close to all the minerals out of it but I have no clue how true that is

[tropic quiver]

Yes but I can’t finish them like other ones, they stay gray ok the map without tick mark or this is so suppposrd to be?

Ahhhh got it. Lol I’m running here like half an hour now haha

[boreal oxide]

Yes, there is nothing to find in those specific caves. They're the same on my game. Those are both near the Bosun boss.

[tropic quiver]

Just a mine ok gotcha

[terse vessel]

Does anyone know if they are still sending invites for alpha or not?

[boreal oxide]

Yeah there are a handful of caves with nothing but ore inside.

[tropic quiver]

It’s just I don’t have enough power for that boss and trying to find something for a better power

[fast orchid]

I just had a friend get access like 20 min ago so yes

[tropic quiver]

U have no clue how much rock I grinded there

Fk!!!!!!!!

[boreal oxide]

||You need to upgrade your gear via the upgrade tool you have to build. ||

[tropic quiver]

Or maybe I’m missing something, I did upgraded my armor to bucanneer

[boreal oxide]

Armour, that is.

[tropic quiver]

And I don’t have anything better

yes

Craft them at the armour bench.

In about 10 days iirc

ak thank you, glad I asked ❤️

[fast orchid]

NP

[urban perch]

How do I access the game?

[fast orchid]

Check the pins and they'll show you da way

[urban perch]

beauty, thank you.

[plush jasper]

You can get access to the playtest in 2 ways
A: gain access through requesting it on Steam
B: win a giveaway here on this discord or in one of the streams that do giveaways.

[fast orchid]

np

[urban perch]

And on Steam, does it take time or is it not guaranteed?

[fast orchid]

It's not guarenteed, it's more of a lottery

[urban perch]

I see, I saw that the test will last 10 days... if I win the draw, after 10 days will I lose access?

[boreal oxide]

No, you'll be able to participate in future tests.

[urban perch]

And how does this draw work?

[boreal oxide]

Random.

[urban perch]

the discord giveaway in the case

[plush jasper]

other tests with more participants logically

[fast orchid]

They click a button saying steam let X people in and steam picks X random people from the list of those who've requested access, the discord is the same but with a bot you react to here in discord

[urban perch]

I understand, thanks for your attention ☺️

[fast orchid]

No problem

[regal gust]

as for the caves not "triggering" as complete.
i think it because if a POI spawns with 0 chest, it cannot be "completed"
i have another POI which only had a single note and it didn't complete after i read it. (i have a pic of the location so other people may tell me if i missed something. just dont tell greenpeace or any enviromentalist)

(i will report it as a bug and link it here)

https://discord.com/channels/1260209458924224542/1392234481364111421

[verbal carbon]

how i get acces to the alpha?

[plain dune]

which gear do you guys prefer? sturdy, marksman or buccaneer?

[pallid imp]

Sign up on the steam page but its very unlikely due to how many bots there are. You may be able to find a streamer doing a giveaway or watch #│announcements for occasional small giveaways

[fast orchid]

I like to go sturdy because normally I like being tanky in games

[eternal linden]

Would be nice if bots accounts keys were revoked for inactivity.

[pallid imp]

not easy to do and iirc once you have access you'll keep it for next tests, so its not that fair to remove peoples access once they've done their fair share of testing

[solar vector]

im testing a mix of sturdy and marksman rn

[regal gust]

only if they dont revoke it or if it is a key unlock

They can reset everyone who has been steam invited but not those that used a key to get access.

[pallid imp]

Yeah who knows at this point - but if they kicked out inactives then it removes that choice

[regal gust]

(according to steam documtentation of playtest) (and how i understood it)

[eternal linden]

Not all accesses work that way as I have been on games that you needed separate access permissions between testing sections.

[pallid imp]

I'm aware, but in case that's how they want to do it... they can't really remove inactives

[regal gust]

but they have 4 types of keys for a game so it might been the "release state override" key i read about and not the playtest key. but idk

[regal gust]

again it is only if they choose to say "reset the access"

[eternal linden]

Devs have the power to authorize access period and remove it period.

[regal gust]

It is up to how steam allows such system to operate.

[elfin hazel]

Well with Funcom stepping in it constantly with Dune Awakening it makes me even more thirsty for this game to mature and release.

[regal gust]

but steam does allows the dev do such thing. so it is a moot point you are making cause that is NOT what we are discussing

[elfin hazel]

Gonna enjoy watching people play for a bit

[eternal linden]

And Steam follows: Devs have the power to authorize access period and remove it period.

[regal gust]

again moot point, that is NOT what we are discussing.

[eternal linden]

It was and you missed it apparently

[regal gust]

Its not.
we where discussing wether they would, and i said that it requires two difrent action to remove access from all invited as the keys requires another type of revoke action. where the once invited by steam can be revoked with a single button.

so wether they where allowed to add or remove has never been the discussion.

[winter frigate]

Dev already said that access will be retained unless something goes wrong, so them revoking is unlikely unless they change their mind

[eternal linden]

"Would be nice if bots accounts keys were revoked for inactivity." was the statement replied to Jag. You are going into access types yes, however the devs retain accsss permission rights.

[eternal linden]

Exactly, "unless they change their mind".

[winter frigate]

Yeah steam needs to refine the system as a whole, all of its preventable

[solar vector]

it would be counter intuitive to try and track keys and owners of “inactive” keys to disable them lol

[winter frigate]

I mean im only adding that in myself, as it stands the response I got was that access will be retained unless something goes wrong

[regal gust]

yes and then whether the dev is allowed to revoke or not is still not the point. so again your first argument was moot.

[pallid imp]

agreed - plus it'll only make people come back to complain about lost access. Plus what if someone spent a large amount of hours testing but then didn't for the last few weeks, not really fair to take it away etc

[solar vector]

theres a bunch of alphas and betas going on and millions more going to be around, experienced play-testers will find a way to access and tbe people who just want to play a free game will be on here complaining, its the nature of all games really

[plain dune]

thinking about going sturdy aswell

[eternal linden]

Incorrect, and further you seem only to want to control discussion so I am going to refrain from responding to you further for awhile until you are civil again (calling responders responses"moot".). Good day.

[fast orchid]

I enjoy it a lot, it's not only my normal outfit but also lets me be my tanky self

[solar vector]

the marksman bandanna makes u look cooler tho

[earnest verge]

nothing wrong with being a little tanky 😛

[neon mural]

I'm not tanky, most things I just jump on top of a rock and start blasting them.. pew pew pew..

[fast orchid]

Have you seen my profile picture, sturdy hat is my hat, bandana would take away my most ME item there is

[eternal linden]

Want to retain rights to play then play (they the devs can set a reasonable response play time for the key to stay active). If they key is voided for inactivity it free the devs to allow more keys out without fear of too many keys out.

[regal gust]

then please do quote to where someone said they weren't allowed to revoke at their whims? where it wasn't corrected before you posted your response. and prove to me that is wasn't moot. cause so far you just denied with no evidence.

whatever those giant forest monsters are in the swamp are called

If keys of inactive accounts remain active than the devs might be wary to authorize new keys due there being too many out.

well Skull and bones premium pack is on at £12 may aswell why i wait.

[solar vector]

in my actual ammo slot i mean of course i can bring stacks lol but my poor backpack

[neon mural]

yeah, ammo pouch would be cool

[fast orchid]

Fair XD

[fast orchid]

I suggest making ammo and gunpowder stack by the 100

[neon mural]

that would be amazing

[solar vector]

i did however just upgrade to the travellers pack from tortuga so thats nice

[eternal linden]

Seems they would be able to track keys that access their servers or atleast accounts anyway for that matter. They have communicated they have numbers for server uses. It would be logical they have play account usage numbers for activity on their own servers.

[regal gust]

or 99, i like 99 stacks.

[solar vector]

sheesh just make infinite ammo slot

[fast orchid]

No they drive me insane! It's not hard to let it be 1 digit higher!

[solar vector]

i can hunt crocs for days on end

1 shotting enemies on crosswind with a musket like a cowboy is so satisfying

[neon mural]

lol

[regal gust]

100 just look so ugly in a stack.

[winter frigate]

Pulling total server numbers isnt an issue, plenty of websites already do that, but they cant tell who is who in their steam accounts and who just hasn't accessed the game versus who is a bot sitting on an account with access

[neon mural]

the one with the bayonet attack is great, no wasting ammo on that lil sliver of health, just poke.

[solar vector]

oh nice i havent used that one yet

[eternal linden]

They would not need to all they would need to do is require minimum time of use to retain access to the game (and yes they can set time reasonably for busy players), If bot accounts are sitting on account idly they are not playing the game with that account and the time played will reflect that. If an account is not being used then the devs are not getting testing data anyway so they are gaining little leaving access to that account that could be used by active users.

[solar vector]

look thru the peep hole watching our friend get clapped

[fast orchid]

Here you go: https://discord.com/channels/1260209458924224542/1392242765420691526

[winter frigate]

That functionality doesnt exist, you cant set restrictions for minimum play time for people granted access

[eternal linden]

They can revoke access based on their internal numbers it is their game and no one has purchased this game yet.

[winter frigate]

Again, they cant tell who is a bot or who is someone that just hasn't accessed the game lol

[neon mural]

beep boop beep.

[winter frigate]

The steam playtest doesnt give them detailed information on every account that has a key

[eternal linden]

And, again they do not need to. All they need to do is check playtime by that particular account that is authorized to play on the server. And they don't need detailed information provided by steam as they have account access on their end as they control server access to every account.

[solar vector]

https://discord.com/channels/1260209458924224542/1298615547969142815

[winter frigate]

But they cant differentiate between who is a bot and who is a person that just hasn't logged in

[boreal oxide]

PSA, this is how you harvest lumber. https://gyazo.com/1a46df99d9d116ec6e909544adc5d1d4

[eternal linden]

They don't need to know who is a bot or not just how much time is being played by the account.

[keen grove]

Hiii is there any way I can get a key, I really want to play this game

[winter frigate]

They do, because now youre potentially taking keys away from people who just haven't had an opportunity to login or maybe notice they got access

If you dont check your email or the page and have your library filtered, you can miss that the game is available for you

[solar vector]

does it include domino effect and how long do those take to grow

[winter frigate]

You want this perfect scenario where every single key is being used optimally, just ain't gonna happen, lol

[boreal oxide]

1 hour, and yes, that's the whole point of it. Plant them close together and in rows, and you chop a couple trees and all of them fall over/break up on their own.

That image is easily 300 wood in an hour, which beats out the lumberjack contract hands down.

[eternal linden]

Fine. The developers get to define reasonable time to begin playing (weeks, months, days, etc from time of authorization). If you missed your availabilty access for weeks they can't control that and they (devs) issued access so they can get playtime data which you are not providing them by missing email for a long time.

[solar vector]

nice may i come to ur world and take a clip of u doing it lol

[boreal oxide]

You also get about 70% of the seeds back.

[boreal oxide]

Lmaooo I don't trust you xD

[solar vector]

https://tenor.com/view/stan-twitter-leobylaw-gif-2505603330472600940

[keen grove]

Do you get an email when you request access on steam?

[unreal reef]

Are they still letting people join the alpha?

[solar vector]

i would just steal all ur bannanas thats it

[keen grove]

or do you just get an email when they actually send you a key?

[winter frigate]

Sell that idea to steam because thats on them, steam can already make changes to essentially completely eliminate bots from play tests, and they haven't, just how it is

[solar vector]

they need playtesters not free hand outs to people who joined the discord 4 minutes ago

[topaz agate]

🥹

[eternal linden]

As long as the player plays does it matter that they joined the discord 4 minutes ago ??

[solar vector]

Well im sure they prefer people who will leave feedback or create content lol

[plain dune]

any good way to farm resin?

[winter frigate]

Steam could restrict access based on a metric f ton of criteria, they dont though, its not important to them, and a ton of accounts being created is beneficial for them, they can cite increasing user numbers while also banning them and double dip as combating bots 🤣

[solar vector]

my point is instead of begging and arguing about keys why not just enjoy being in the community and chatting about the game

[boreal oxide]

Aside from chopping down the appropriate trees? No. However, you can find a giant tree NPC [forget their name]. When they die, that explode and break down everything around them, trees included.

[unreal reef]

How are yall liking the game so far. Im a old atlas player

[solar vector]

its pretty lit youd like it if u are into pirate survival games

[eternal linden]

Fair and agreed though I am not sure if all content media is helpful to the devs.

[solar vector]

thats ok if youre unsure

[unreal reef]

I did serious rp servers loved it,

[solar vector]

i want to get some people together and do rp on this

[eternal linden]

For me yes, for developers probably not.

[unreal reef]

That would be awesome

[solar vector]

we could all have houses and build a little town and have some fun

[eternal linden]

Agreed and that would really nice if Steam did do that and would seem to make thing run so much smoother.

[rare light]

do you thing everyone gonna be able to play in the playtest?

[solar vector]

you can build and decorate little stalls on here that look like market stalls and items like baskets of fruit and veg and all kinds of stuff its pretty nice

[keen grove]

I requested access on steam yesterday but i think i can forget getting approvef

At least not anytime soon

[eternal linden]

From what I have gathered from here and other areas botting seems to be an issue? This not confirmed however as far as I know.

[rare light]

same

[cinder echo]

They can easily fix this by making Testers able to provide feedback each time they play. If not after 3 days playing with no feedback, they get their testing privelages revoked. done

[eternal linden]

That would be very helpful.

[rare light]

dont think its that simple

[keen grove]

Why dont they give out the keys here on discord

[winter frigate]

This wouldnt solve much, definitely wouldn't do anything to differentiate between bots and players that haven't played

[cinder echo]

well they would have to rewrite a few things and add a Feedback feature but its not that hard. just time consuming. I done a few testings for games which are like this...which is why I mentioned it. It helps the devs out a lot

[solar vector]

bruh 🤣 have u never tested a game in ur life

name one game that revoked access after no feedback after 3 day im curious

[cinder echo]

Been a tester for 16 years and many games. Not all devs do this of course

[boreal isle]

How do I enter for a chance to play?

[winter frigate]

Its also just a fact that a lot of play testers will just use a game as if it is a demo and not provide feedback, and revoking their access will over what is an arbitrary amount of time, wont help

[keen grove]

Can I buy a key maybe online? Or are they scams

[winter frigate]

Also, 3 times, I crashed 3 times, lost my access

[solar vector]

just with data from playtests alone they get information, not everything is determined by written comments

[winter frigate]

Buying keys isnt discussed or endorsed

[solar vector]

ive never heard of any playtest ever thats done that lol

[rare light]

it isnt worth at even if its not a scam

[solar vector]

that would be counter intuitive to the sign up
process and testing itself

[eternal linden]

I would NOT purchase a key online unless by the devs themselves or someone they authorized to sell them. This game is not for purchase even yet. Don't get scammed, please 😄 .

[solar vector]

you cant buy keys guys its against the rules and youll be banned for doing that

[winter frigate]

no, dont ask, dont discuss it

[cinder echo]

Ashes of Creation had it years ago, but changed their testing policy, Wolcen had it, Vindictus had it, Lost Ark was similar but not 3 days their was about 7 days.

few examples

[winter frigate]

<@&1354821664998817822>

[keen oasis]

Oh right, I didn't know

[winter frigate]

kinda common sense tbh

[topaz agate]

common sense is something lost to people nowdays

[keen oasis]

I've got mine, but I thought people had keys but probably didn't play the game.

[surreal sierra]

@keen oasis we don’t support or condone the buying or selling of keys or accounts. In keeping with that we avoid the topic as much as possible while in the server.

[solar vector]

i playtested both of those games and thats false information buddy bc i left no feedback for either of them , ashes of creation gave access to paid supporters and they never revoked our keys lol

[cinder echo]

Yeah, theres not much real testers nowadays. Many gamers just join the testing just to play it and not provide feedback.

[keen oasis]

Ok, no problem sorry

[topaz agate]

Sadly yep

[keen oasis]

I don't talk about it anymore ^^

[winter frigate]

I don't believe there are any free "keys" just floating around other than those being given to content creators specifically for distribution, Steam directly grants access to the accounts that receive it, maybe the giveaways are dm'd redeemable keys tho

[cinder echo]

I never paid for Ashes of Creation. If you read the entirety of the fine print you will see it. Again not gonna argue over something i know something you dont. Either take the information as is or dont argue. thank you

[eternal linden]

As far as I know the devs do not give keys in DMs at least not here on Discord.

[sour mulch]

Where is Tortuga? I did voyage to it and it took me to a random place with test ships.

[solar vector]

take it to https://discord.com/channels/1260209458924224542/1298615547969142815 man youre talking nonsense

[solar vector]

go to the nearest large island should be either north or west of where u load in

[keen grove]

How will I know I have access, will I receive an email or just see it as a playable game in my library?

[winter frigate]

both

you'll receive an email telling you that you have access, but the play test should just appear in your library

[cinder echo]

This is general chat about the testing of Crosswind. Talking about it falls into this category. Guess you dont know much about testing and just wasting Developers Keys instead of providing valuable feedback. good to know

[keen grove]

Do you receive an email when you request access in the first place?

[winter frigate]

as long as you dont filter to only installed games, you should see it in the library

[sour mulch]

Yea got it.. just a bit weird when you first land in the random spot

[thick drum]

Thursday people get ready 😄

[winter frigate]

you might, cant remember tbh, I think it does email you saying something

[thick drum]

so keep an eye open on thursday for giveaways

[solar vector]

they said theyre making adjustments to the spawn points and stuff so it will be all cleared up later

[solar vector]

that was just my message about the hot dog giveaway no one show up in here that day

[thick drum]

its from the actual dev 😄

[winter frigate]

I just searched my email and don't see anything from Crosswind, but I do have it from a couple other play tests that I have received access to, so its probably only when you've actually received access

[pure pollen]

[edgy saddle]

I have been summoned.

[sour mulch]

I am trying to sell stuff to the Buyer at Tortuga but all my stuff is greyed out? Can't click to sell?

[winter frigate]

if you've signed up though you can always go back to the store page and it will tell you that you have requested access

[thick drum]

whats the problem i see with co op not working for some people is there a fix or just randomly happens to some ?

[keen grove]

Yes yes still hasn't come available thank you I will keep an eye out

[sour mulch]

Is there anything else apart from the 5 vendors on Tortuga? Like loot or anything?

[shell lantern]

@thick drumLooks like its random cause i got the coop problem

[eternal linden]

In Steam go to: Home> Account > Gated Access Games (will be at the bottom of the list). Playtest games should be there as well if you have access to them as in you have been authorized to play them. In any case it is a way to check access.

[regal gust]

can you acquire more boar whisltes? (i assume once would at tortuga?)

[shell lantern]

@edgy saddle can u help me?

[edgy saddle]

What's up @shell lantern

[boreal oxide]

I wonder if one of the voice actors for the contractors was also a voice actor for Bellwright, cause they sound awfully similar lol

[boreal oxide]

Release window is q4 2026

thats always a great one, lol

[eternal linden]

Eh, Feedback is Feedback.

[winter frigate]

is im leaving because i don't want to be here unless I have access, really feedback?

[neon mural]

The trick is taking negative feedback and turning it into positive feedback, worked for a lot of p2w games that the project managers just wanted to hear the good.
It's refreshing being a member of a community that shares mostly positive feedback.

[eternal linden]

Why not ?

[winter frigate]

seems like it's more feedback on the individual user, lol

[eternal linden]

Still valuable.

[neon mural]

turning it into a positive, the user left the discord, but they plan to return at a later time.

[fast orchid]

Lmao, thanks for biting your lip and not antagonizing, still funny tho

[eternal linden]

So, not lost, just absent for awhile and even gave a reason why. Information is valuable feedback. 😄

[winter frigate]

maybe it was a threat 🤣

[neon mural]

"the user left the discord because they were filled with excitement and wonder, they didn't want their presence to spoil any of their experience and will return later".

[devout topaz]

Can someone confirm that once access is granted, it applies to all playtests up until release?

[winter frigate]

I asked a dev if access was retained into future tests, and the answer was yes unless something goes wrong

[devout topaz]

Thank man, appreciate it 🙂

you can, but everyone needs to have their own access

Devs gave you a build mode

Ah I see Seaweaver already said the same. Sorry. Just catching up on chat

[neon mural]

kinda wish I could make rope in my inventory instead of having to build half a base outside of underground ruins

[tribal hemlock]

whats the mechanic for bases, is it like place down an altar/flame/central thing and you can build in a certain area around it or you can just drop down a base anywhere with no real restrictions

[boreal oxide]

Yuo can build anywhere, technically - but a lot of essential crafting stations require a nearby bonfire.

[tribal hemlock]

Are bonfires limited or are they things that only show up in certain places?

[boreal oxide]

Nope, unlimited. But they need to be spaced out a little ways from one another. Not terribly far, but you can't link them together, essentially.

[tribal hemlock]

Oh that's cool, so pretty good freedom of building, awesome

[boreal oxide]

Yes, 100%

[tribal hemlock]

obviously there's boat transportation is there also fast travel?

[strange cipher]

Who ain’t got access still lol 🤣

[boreal oxide]

For sure.

[tribal hemlock]

sweet, im prob asking questions that have been asked like 400 times ty for answering lol

[strange cipher]

How many bells can i put max?

[boreal oxide]

No worries.

[neon mural]

for now you can put down as many as you like, though I can't say for sure, I think the bells are more for testing as it does take out most sea traveling after you have bells placed at all islands.

[strange cipher]

It should be limited so sea travel makes sense

[fast orchid]

You still have to travel there in the first place and you're not required to use them, currently I like the non limit as it also allows my fiance with severe motion sickness to be able to play as well, I can still roam the seas and she can still roam any lands she needs

[echo star]

is there anyway to get access to the game except from being lucky in steam?

[burnt heart]

good evening mateys hope everyone is having a great day or night. god bless and much love to all 🙂

You can make stone bullets pretty early, gunpowder is gonna hold ya back first tho. Ive only been able to shoot my gun so far w gunpowder i have scavenged. Someone who knows more can probs comment w more knowledge 😄

[fast orchid]

Check the forum in #│content-creators

It's a pinned message

[split delta]

I still dont know how to use stone bullets, can anyone explain?

[fast orchid]

There's a ammo slot in your character sheet, you need stone bullets in there and gunpowder and you're good to go

[split delta]

You mean there?

[fast orchid]

Yup

You should be good to aim (alt by default) and fire away

I had the pearl there all this time..does it mean my gun was shooting pearls?

Yes

so much fun though

You didn't play once human, eh?

I'm living vicariously through you all, i have terrible luck getting keys unless i get them through kickstarter support lol.

[woeful laurel]

i have it but I came really late to it so i never really got into it

[cosmic beacon]

i dont think devs are doing anymore more discord giveaways 😭 guess i have to reinstall valheim

[waxen sail]

The boars are relentless. There is no coming late to it though, new servers all the time and folks are really helpful if you're not on a PVP server.

[waxen sail]

Honestly, the giveaways have been a bit of a mess anyway.

[cosmic beacon]

im guessing thats why they stopped and are only doing keys through steam

[waxen sail]

I'm just hoping they still give some keys to steam and I get lucky, oooor i wait. I have like 3 pirate games on my wishlist LOL

[woeful laurel]

ill have to check it out more, i havent really played any video games in about 10-15 years so im still kinda figuring out how all these games work lol

[cosmic beacon]

its just so difficult to get a key through steam bc of bots my whole friend group went from trying to get keys to just trying to get me a key and nothing

[waxen sail]

Fair, It was kind of my spiral into survival games. I really love crafting and building and survival games are surpassing mmos with those features. I always go back to once human though.

[waxen sail]

Yeah, it sucks. but i guess we are forced to wait and hope for the best.

you play grounded? bc im really excited for grounded 2

[woeful laurel]

im really liking icarus, that has been one im always going back to

[woeful laurel]

i just started a new save on palworld since they did an update with terraria

[bright vortex]

I just put like 150+ hours into Dune, now I’ve come back to Once Human after so long 😅

[waxen sail]

if it's a private server you can just beef up your resources to get it back really quick LOL

[waxen sail]

Yeah I have about 300 hours in dune, the end game griefing is a big much. so i'm just poking around hoping they fix some. And went back to once human.

They've added a lot in the last 4-5 months

[bold hazel]

thats 10/10 amazing haha

[waxen sail]

Yeah i haven't been on with terraria. When i don't have so many on the go i'll have to check it out.

[woeful laurel]

[waxen sail]

Yes, I am learning from you all.

[gilded abyss]

Dodos 🦤 are such 'fowl' creatures. Why they gotta hit so hard?

[bold hazel]

right?!

[woeful laurel]

i find walking backwards is just fast enough to keep out of attack range

[fast orchid]

It really is lol

[regal gust]

and if you need that extra range to use pots or bandage use ctrl to dash. (extra helpfull vs boar charge)

[cinder dirge]

Where do we enter to win a key give away? This is LITERALLY my dream game.

[fast orchid]

The pins gotcha covered

[cinder dirge]

Dude your username effect is amazing. How do u do that?

[fast orchid]

Idk how they did that, but it's a colour for all the mods

The alpha herolds and content creators get similar effects

[cinder dirge]

Amazing lol was you "Pin" message towards me?

[fast orchid]

It twas, currently no giveaway on discord ATM but the pins point to where the other access methods are

[cinder dirge]

Dude I'm so new to disc. I literally don't even know what pins you speak of lol

[fast orchid]

Oh, on the top of the chat there's a button that says pinned messages

[cinder dirge]

OK cool I requested it on steam

already. Thanks. Game is going to be a big hit

[fast orchid]

No problem, and trust me I know, been a blast seeing where this game has come from and watching the community grow

[cinder dirge]

It'd be so cool to build a saloon right on the shore where people can gather and bond lol

[fluid vigil]

game crashing a lot lately for anyone else? fatal error

[fast orchid]

Been working on a small seaside tavern for my newest build and already the build options are so much fun to play with, it's no wonder I lost over 220 hours in the alpha already lol

[regal gust]

oh you gonna love my base then....

[fast orchid]

Lemme see, pics or it didn't happen !

[regal gust]

Just look at this arcitectural marvel

[fast orchid]

Also I know I'm super late but I've been so distracted however.... Grats on getting access!!!

[regal gust]

no worries i kept it secret for a few days even. cause idk.

and thanks

[fast orchid]

Im adding to your required win count for this

[regal gust]

Hahaha.

[fast orchid]

You'll forgive me if I doubt that

[regal gust]

understandable.

[fast orchid]

You're NA tho right?

[regal gust]

sadly not im EU

[fast orchid]

Awwww

[regal gust]

Oh no "on the sea - tungsten" just started playing....

i defently know what i should use the last week of this game on.. building a sort of base on those "mountain" island with nothing on.

you need to pick up crabs to get a crab shell (the last i think recipe i dont know)

[faint dove]

just pick em up?

[regal gust]

yes it is their "rare" loot

not really rare but it is not guarenteed.

[faint dove]

Okay, nice one

Anyone able to tell me what this missing discovery in the coastal jungle is, and if possible where to find it?

[regal gust]

how many islands of coastal jungle is normal? or is it a random between X and y?

or is it certain that there is 7 nor less no more? (i am asking for the number)

from what i have in my world i would assume the number would be 6 islands.

[faint dove]

i think we're all working on the same island seed currently for the map, so i think it's 5, plus the starter island

[regal gust]

hmm ok

[iron sphinx]

I want to play!!! 😦

[wraith blaze]

I dont remember where to get it

[regal gust]

your missing is the crab shell pick up crabs on the beach

[wraith blaze]

already picked tons of crab on the beach
