[blazing jungle]

should be able to craft one once you've got metal

[last gyro]

do Strength buffs improve your Axe and Pickaxe harvesting at all ?

[whole quartz]

i loved doing the treasure chest stuff on sea of thieves, with steps from trees and things like that

[pseudo wasp]

You will be able to craft it

[tall turtle]

You make it in the workbench same as axe and pickaxe

[dawn crystal]

il check it, thanks

[lament flower]

just curious is there a trader in the demo?

[surreal sierra]

nope

[blazing jungle]

np - should be the workbench I think

[upbeat panther]

how do you get the ship? i finish all the quests it looks like but i dont see any ship building

[bold hazel]

buckets are excellent for cleaning out the bilge

[worldly summit]

what did the devs mean by this

[surreal sierra]

theres a whole quest for it funnily enough

[dawn crystal]

ok thanks il check it out right now

[tidal aspen]

#💬│windrose-chat message

What I dug up

[blazing jungle]

Ah that might be a question better answered by others. Unfortunately I didn't have a ton of time to play the demo yet

[sharp kestrel]

Who is creators? From what country?

[upbeat panther]

the last quest i did was tutorial islander which has a check mark and i have no other quests

[whole quartz]

we are all creators

[last gyro]

speak to Doc Galen

[whole quartz]

press k...i think

[surreal sierra]

Talk to Galen at the camp, he'll give you the next one

[whole quartz]

oh yea gotta talk to doc first

[tidal aspen]

i was going to post image of the tree in questioning for the treasure, but got a message blocked notification instead lol

[whole quartz]

can also talk to em like every 15 minutes or so and get a free minor health pot

[upbeat panther]

which camp? i dont have any npcs on my island

[surreal sierra]

build a bonfire and he'll appear at it eventually

[tidal aspen]

ah so it's random time after placed?

[sharp kestrel]

From what country developers of this game?

[rustic lake]

yes, and it do respawn

[whole quartz]

less than an hour after i palced bonfire

[abstract aspen]

that sounds so damn ominous lmao

[tidal aspen]

that cave is very dark so be sure u have lamp or some wood to build a torch stand

[whole quartz]

its probably tied to completing next step in line of quest to when he shows

[surreal sierra]

it kinda does now you mention it

[abstract aspen]

imma throw that in my quote channel lmao

[last gyro]

the torch stands are best, they stay permanently in the mine and don't need refuelling like the lamp

[karmic edge]

The N is trying to form a speech bubble its gaining sentients its trying to speak its going to overcome its letter form and overthrough the gamers

[tidal aspen]

question though, if the ore respawns, what if u placed torch on where ore was?

i hadn't thought of this till now

[smoky phoenix]

i randomly scrolled through my steam wishlist today with a buddy at work to show him some cool upcoming games and randomly seen they released this demo. What a find. This is really good

[dawn crystal]

complete thanks xDD

[blazing jungle]

Heck yeah

[tidal aspen]

if it's okay for me to mention a Youtuber's name, I discovered the demo existence from that

[dawn crystal]

didnt know you can kinda terraforming

[blazing jungle]

Don't you love just happening across games that end up being awesome? My favorite thing about playing Early Access games and all that. Discover something new and fun

[last gyro]

easy enough to test, torches are cheap 😄

[tidal aspen]

yea like 2 wood to place

[blazing jungle]

yes! My main shovel use has been digging a pit to dump all my old gear lmao ~ but yeah you can definitely terraform if you like

[tidal aspen]

and u can demolish it later get ur wood back so never a waste

[smoky phoenix]

Yeh im pretty sure I wishlisted this a while back , maybe it was a different name

[tidal aspen]

that was one thing i noted in feedback i left behind was to allow resources to go back to inventory after demolishing instead of dropping at nearby ground

i had hard time finding some nails or something one point that fell to ground

[shrewd arch]

Can I build a bridge across the ocean, from island to island? Has anyone tried that?

[whole quartz]

unless things delete on the ground after awhile, thats gonna eventually start to bog down your game

[sacred jacinth]

is there more than just the 3 islands in the demo?

[surreal sierra]

no just the three

[sacred jacinth]

once you have explored all of them is that it then for now?

[abstract aspen]

sadly not, doesnt get enough support since it doesnt reach the ground

[shrewd arch]

dang

[left glen]

when it release???? i wanna buy already !! take my money !

[tidal aspen]

guessing the game has a whatcha call it building intergrity support system thingy errr yea thingy like valheim (plz don't make fun of my terms)

[surreal sierra]

yep

[vast otter]

So far it's Valheimshrouded Windwaker's Creed and I'm enjoying it.

[bold hazel]

after that you can participate in the best pirate den building contest 👀

[worldly summit]

One day you'll just call it Windrose

[tidal aspen]

enshrouded building system though..... lets u build wherever u want but anything outside the flame's protection zone gets eaten by the shroud aka gets enshrouded upon exiting world lol

[vast otter]

At least I'll never call it Skull and Bones

[last gyro]

I wonder if our bases will ever be attacked in later stages of the game ?
Are the more durable building materials just cosmetic, or will they serve a purpose for fortifications ?

[blazing jungle]

I love systems like this though that let you "hermit crab" and just set up shop in pre-existing buildings and structures

[tidal aspen]

yea u like a certain youtuber's video on that part where he builds a chaotic base

[tall turtle]

Yea renovating is honestly super fun

[vernal basin]

enshrouded sadly has a lack of proper rotation and round...anything really. (without using a ton of tricks to get there ofc (modless))

[shrewd smelt]

HOW DO YOU GET CLAY

[wicked wing]

dig it with a pick.

[dawn crystal]

is theree a ROADMAP where i can see what things are coming or planned??

[toxic turtle]

how do i get the kettle boat back after a premature death in a boarding fight?

[tidal aspen]

check around the beaches u see some "unique" looking ground texture

[smoky phoenix]

still no luck 😭

[tidal aspen]

and if u look at it, the game will point out it's clay

[vernal basin]

https://tenor.com/view/boondocks-read-rap-fans-exorcism-uncle-ruckus-gif-23038600

[worldly summit]

You can rebuild it at the wharf, then resummon it

[blazing jungle]

Yeash theres little spots of clay around the map you can find. Use the pick to gather it

[surreal sierra]

Read more

[tidal aspen]

#💬│windrose-chat message

for clay

[shrewd smelt]

WHAT DO THEY LOOK LIKE

[smoky phoenix]

I dont even know how to access the page anymore

[toxic turtle]

thx

[amber sorrel]

HOW DO I GET CLAY

[vernal basin]

can you please turn off caps-lock xD

[blazing jungle]

Yall gotta lean off the capslock lmao

[smoky phoenix]

looks like a really ashy elbow on the ground. pick axe

[surreal sierra]

Inventory, journal

[blazing jungle]

#💬│windrose-chat message

[last gyro]

the dig circle will change colour when you're aiming at the right spot

[tidal aspen]

oh is that for the treasure tree?

[surreal sierra]

Ye

[tidal aspen]

so i made a single dig on the very edges of the tree going all way around it 360. Eventually u see "sparkles" of light that where u gotta dig deeper

just hit the ground once with shovel in each area until u see the sparkles

[abstract aspen]

wondering how do people get the idea to dig, but dig around the note for some reason..like to know one needs to dig one has to read the note..right?

[tidal aspen]

then u dig at the sparkles until a chest reveals itself basically

the note is very long in text, it hints only at the end of note lol

[toxic turtle]

does chain shot slow down ships if shot on masts?

[vernal basin]

yes. may need multiple hits. you see an icon on the enemy if you do*

[abstract aspen]

yeah it destroys their sails

[last gyro]

I hope there's more like that, it's not super hard to figure out, IF you read the note, hehe

[toxic turtle]

ok what i thought, thx

[tidal aspen]

yea once i re-read the note after finding the odd tree, i was like huh maybe i should re-read the note lol

[pseudo wasp]

that is easy to find the hidden tressure on starting Island

[tidal aspen]

i kinda "glanced" over the note didn't actually read it fully at the time

[slate olive]

someone mentioned rapier does bleed, but i dont see to be triggering it?

[plain flame]

i'm fairly sure i've killed more birds than boars.. maybe some dodos dont count properly?

[abstract aspen]

only blue ones

[tidal aspen]

that's a different dodo bird there's different ones on the island

[regal gust]

Itd the blue rapier not the green.

[plain flame]

ah ok

[dapper dawn]

DOES ANYONE KNOW WHERE THE WHARF IS

[slate olive]

oh gotcha, havent found it

[regal gust]

You need to build it

[tidal aspen]

there's a weaker young dodo bird, a stronger adult one i think, then there's the blue ones

[hybrid tinsel]

how long the demo on

[novel dagger]

I couldn't catch blackbeard's ship...

[vernal basin]

i dont know if the green one even is a rapier. dont think so

[tidal aspen]

and watch out for the ones with a star next to its name, those will give u a bad time if ya let em hit ya lol

[abstract aspen]

https://tenor.com/view/you-got-to-be-quicker-than-that-gotta-be-quicker-than-that-quick-you-gotta-be-quicker-than-that-gif-17491322042216115294

[tidal aspen]

i had a boar charge at me with a star in its name.... my food buffs were not active... yea it was a quick trip back to my bed

[last gyro]

the craftable one is a Common item (green), the bleed rapier is a Rare (blue)

[tidal aspen]

and there's apparently a way to evolve it to purple. I think the resource needed actually is on the same island i forgot to bring that up earlier

i didn't evolve mine yet i ran out of time to play

[dapper dawn]

SO I CAN ADD CANNONSHOW DO YOU BUILD THE WHARF

[vernal basin]

true, never really took notice of the crafting weapons bit since we find the superior ones very soon^^

[dapper dawn]

how do you build a wharf

[tidal aspen]

im on a very very very very very old work computer chatting lol it probably can't even run an 8-bit game -_-

[novel dagger]

Wharf is in the B menu

[tidal aspen]

the GPU specs on it is a GeForce GTX 745 lul

[vast otter]

What scares me is seeing an enemy ship on this sad little thing.

[vernal basin]

i have such a toaster as well. it needs a prayer for the machinegod to work properly at this point but it does still run xD

[surreal sierra]

My PC is dying sadly. Regular crashing and restarting

[latent charm]

just spent a few hours playing. loving it so far

[tidal aspen]

https://tenor.com/view/code-laptop-boat-gif-27586711

well they say tiny targets probably lot harder to hit i guess

but if ya do get hit well id say no amount of HP would save it

[dapper dawn]

i dont see a wharf in the b menu did i miss something

[last gyro]

imma build my own "Tortuga" after I've finished the demo content, lol

[dusty shore]

man whoever made the camera turn with the move left and right buttons should be fired lol

and if u try to move the mouse against it your character is instantly drunk af

[dapper dawn]

i did all the quests and dont see a wharf anywhere

[sonic gyro]

I have a big problem

[vapid cloak]

the warf is in the building panel, crafting and utilities top row at the end next to the quick travel point

[vast otter]

I wasn't expecting a sergeant to pull a gun on me but I probably should have.

[worthy pawn]

this is a pretty fun demo guys

[wicked wing]

are there only || 4 || blue weapons so far?

[worldly summit]

||5 if you count the gun||

[vast otter]

Trying to figure out the poise system enemies seem to have. Every new shield they seem to have seems to reset it.

[wicked wing]

Dang not sure what i'm missing then

[dapper dawn]

@vapid cloak yeah it doesnt show up idk what i missed

[surreal sierra]

Unfortunately my PC is pretty close to un-usable now. I might have to take it in to a repair fella as I dont know anything about computer repair

[silver bane]

Anyone know what player count for dedicated servers will look like

[tidal aspen]

ihad to take my laptop to repair place a few times myself already since i got it first time back in 2019 christmas

[upbeat cradle]

Will there be dedicated servers?

[vast otter]

No, I think I'm wrong about the shields too. I guess they are just a poise bar of some sort since they seem to stun when they run out. Not sure how the stagger system is since sometimes they seem to mash out of hit stun sometimes.

[silver bane]

Yes

[surreal sierra]

Unsure right now. Benjamin said they tried an internal test with 20 people and it was quote 'rough around the edges' so we dont know yet

[tidal aspen]

the first time, the lappy was simply overworked and the thermal paste had worn out and there was metal that melted upon a heat sink lol it was really creepy way the tech guy was explaining it to me

[silver bane]

Id say 20 to 30 would be good with how big the map is

[tidal aspen]

but these guys were absolute legendary at getting it back to working order though but.... later i took it in cause a GPU fan was loud like...... wtf are we being attacked loud

[surreal sierra]

oh the demo map is tiny. Only 3 islands. theres gonna be 4 expansive biomes in full release

[tidal aspen]

turns out a bearing was loose and it was wiggling out of place a bit but they had to order new fan and replace it... plus my screen was glitchy but they fixed that too.

[last gyro]

it's very early days yet, I'm sure they'll get there eventually 😄

[upbeat cradle]

First time playing the demo today. I was having fun. I thought the combat was fine. Glad I wasn't steamrolling everything off-rip and getting bored

[silver bane]

https://tenor.com/view/yuge-huge-donald-trump-gif-5521636960626661361

I know lol maps gunna be yuge

[tidal aspen]

yea something i noticed uh is when u look at the discovery page thingy it shows other biomes, guessing only the first one is in demo

[surreal sierra]

exactly

[tidal aspen]

and some valheim enjoyers will quickly notice the "last" biome listed lol

https://tenor.com/view/ashlands-gif-5357670450348858745

[vast otter]

The parry system feels smooth (though it's more of a Sekiro deflect mechanic.) we just need a flashy riposte animation when their stance breaks.

[tidal aspen]

wonder if there will be lava

[upbeat cradle]

Literally told my valheim buddy to try the game because it reminded me a lot of that, but with pirates and real ships

[worldly summit]

Please

[silver bane]

Only think similar to valheim is the food system. Its more enshrouded in terms of loot, building etc. Enshrouded is a much better game then valheim

[tidal aspen]

it's matter of taste but yes, theere lot of systems reminds me more of enshrouded than valheim but both are kinda mixed in on the "feel" factor

[upbeat cradle]

Never played Enshrouded, but whoever is making the trailers for this game needs a raise lol. They were 🔥

[wicked wing]

@worldly summit sent you dm

[tidal aspen]

my first impression was this is Valheim Enshrouded had a baby but that's ver loosely putting it honestly there's some uniqueness still so it's got its own thing

[last gyro]

the high quality gfx helps a lot too imho

[tidal aspen]

Trailers doing its job then

and for those who picked it apart will see a hint of fishing in one of the videos they have

[serene ibex]

perfect game for fishing

lots of boots to catch in that open ocean

[vast otter]

I think so far what they need to focus on is ship customization (If we're in a pirate game, let us make our ship a moving home!) and some flashy riposte animations. (If we're going Bloodbornekiro we may as well go all the way!)

[vestal cypress]

fishing and underwater adventures to sunken ships etc

[serene ibex]

and dragon mounts!

lol

[upbeat cradle]

please no

[serene ibex]

air ships?

[last gyro]

I'd just be happy sitting on the end of my pier, fishing, smoking a pipe and taking in the view, lol

[serene ibex]

thats what im saying!

[vast otter]

Add fishing and big game hunting (whaling!) would be a treat.

[tidal aspen]

though the fishing part is in the alpha ttest trailer near teh end of it

[serene ibex]

yeah whaling , cannon harpoons

[vast otter]

Remember black flag harpooning sharks?

[upbeat cradle]

I'm looking forward to the ship battles and maybe having to fight off a kraken?

[serene ibex]

yep

[last gyro]

I know imma be checking Steam news every day for the EA launch announcement 🤣

[warm gyro]

is multiplayer working for people/

[serene ibex]

should be before xmas

[upbeat cradle]

Throw in some British merchant ships and Navy ships to plunder and I'm g2g

[vast otter]

Oh damn, hit B while sailing for shanties!

[serene ibex]

yeah these bilge rats can sing

[tidal aspen]

this year still Q1... Christmas so far away 🙁

[upbeat cradle]

I was trying to find out more about the Developer. Do they have a website (not the game site)

[last gyro]

Spanish treasure galleons !

[serene ibex]

fort wars

that would be awesome

[tidal aspen]

only ship/pirate game i remember playing last wasn't even that but had ship vs ship combat and was that Assassin's Creed with the mythological stuff in it forget its name but I'm afraid to even deal with ubisoft games anymore

[serene ibex]

hope they add a way to change perspective camera views when on the ship

[tidal aspen]

the ship combat was a bit of aletdown cause i killed enemy ships like they were made of toilet paper (from that Creed game)

[hard silo]

Finished demo, this is dope

[hard silo]

F

[vast otter]

My favorite open ocean games were absolutely Windwaker and Black Flag and this is tickling those itches. Definitely wish listed.

[last gyro]

would be great if there were rival pirate factions that you can do port raids against...

[tidal aspen]

aha windwaker was definitely my favorite on game cube for that island hopping and sailing etc, but ..... lol having to change wind direction million times

[tall turtle]

Yea press F. I accidentally found that one with fat fingers 😄

[vast otter]

Also the Sly 3 pirate level with the open ocean ship combat before Black Flag even came out. That one was also fun.

[worldly summit]

Gettin closer

[agile fern]

Making progress on the ruins that's in the northwest quadrant of the biggest island

[tidal aspen]

someone's on a mission

[hazy dragon]

does anyones knows if they plan to have pvp with big servers or is it going to be a 4 player max server?

[serene ibex]

is there a way to make gun powder?

[vast otter]

The main thing I hope they really focus on is ship customization so I can set up storage and add furniture to the inside to make below decks cozy.

[worldly summit]

No, you have to farm it from pirates, or new world chest spawns

[serene ibex]

sad face

[topaz wren]

any console commands for gun powder? lol

[last gyro]

there will be, but you need sullfur for it, and that requires an iron pickaxe

[serene ibex]

ah....well thats a ways down the line still

[worldly summit]

It was in the previous version. No reason for it not to be in EA

[vast otter]

Imagine being able to fish, cook and live on your ship and then after a while of sailing on open ocean, just go home to your main land base after a day of either pillaging or possibly even trading? Game has a ton of potential.

[mellow magnet]

So uh... i found a problem... if your boat is too close to the shore and you drop the item it will disappear instead of creating a crate

[lone oxide]

What is temporal health gain? I’m confused by the you will answer for this perk

[worldly summit]

The temporary health that's left over after you take damage that you can earn back via attacking

[lone oxide]

Oh I see

[topaz wren]

press e on bonfire and you can settle him

[mild atlas]

great to see a better Skulls & Bones

[vast otter]

Yep, it’s basically Bloodborne’s rally system. If you deflect enough attacks via timed blocks like Sekiro you can also break the enemies’ stance for a quick stun too.

[topaz wren]

you set a very low bar here

bruh pretty high censorship on this server it seems

[tawny plover]

the fact the boar turns into an anime character chefs kiss

[gentle topaz]

how can we join playtest

[amber sorrel]

is rapier best weapon to invest in since u get both rapier and gun points

[tawny plover]

just download demo from steam

[gentle topaz]

I did and played 5 hr

thats all?

[mellow magnet]

So uh... is there a way to steal other ships? like those blackbeard transport ships

[tawny plover]

demo is the demo; it has multiplayer via inv codes; dont think theres a time limit either so yea

[dusty ivy]

Help me I’m addicted im addicted to Windrose, wait don’t help me.

[worldly summit]

you run into an interceptor yet?

[mellow magnet]

Well, i just made the boat and equips

sank one ship for accident but i was wondering if i could just... you know... take it to myself

[amber sorrel]

was this mean

[coral wolf]

read the note at the camp

[gentle topaz]

When is release date?

[tawny plover]

nah it was pretty nice

[coral wolf]

tip u need a shovel

[tawny plover]

i couldnt use the shovel on the tree :\

[coral wolf]

so whats the best way to level? enemies dont give xp from my understanding

[coral wolf]

brother use the shovel around the tree

[fleet valley]

try using it around the tree instead.

[tawny plover]

yah it was red

[fleet valley]

Took me a bit but I found it eventually.

[coral wolf]

yeah use it until it turns yellow

[tawny plover]

i couldnt; i could like 5ft from the tree but it didnt do anything

[tawny plover]

that was like 5 ft away it didnt do anything other for the tree :\

[coral wolf]

pretend ur using an actual shovel its not a spell just gotta find the sweet spot

[tawny plover]

its a spell tho

[fleet valley]

you cant dig a hole with just one swing of the shovel

[last gyro]

move the circle around near the tree until the dig circle turns yellow

[coral wolf]

https://tenor.com/view/trolls-gif-18817256

[tawny plover]

imma hollow out that whole area once i find this other treasure

[fleet valley]

My biggest dig was on the first island, I tried to dig away the land so that I could place the bell closer to my first house. This does NOT work, so instead I moved my bonfire so that it could just barely cover all my house & the bell.

Dug so far inland that I reached what seemed to be permanent undiggable terrain.

[frank pier]

mmmm, fought Blackbeard and destroyed his boat the first time, went for another sail, found another to attack. This time I boarded him and got cornered on their ship. Died.... and my ship just instantly disappears???... Pardon the pun, but I don't think I'm "Onboard" with that!!!

and so I have to build another?

after going through the whole ship item upgrades??

[worldly summit]

you keep your upgrades when you rebuilt

[frank pier]

What about your crew?

[worldly summit]

yeah

[lusty patio]

All is intact, just repair it for 20 wood in wharf

[frank pier]

I reckon that's going to put people off real quick

[amber sorrel]

got my first rare item

[frank pier]

YEAH. It's an awesome sword!! Especially with the Bleed DoT

[topaz wren]

My dude is a chad

[tawny plover]

that bleed has me jealous; im rockin a halberd rn

[frank pier]

That's all I use

[tawny plover]

the musket is fkn sick tho

[topaz wren]

yeah Reliable Musket is the best

if only we could make gunpowder, or at least cheat it in for now

[frank pier]

If you fully upgrade your ship, Blackbeard is no trouble whatsoever

[full ruin]

I built the ship and shipwright workshop, but didn't get the Wharf?

[fleet valley]

I had my ship sunk by the pirates but I was able to jump onto their ship before the game killed me, and there was nobody at the helm of their ship, I know they dabble in black magic, but that is something else.

[mellow escarp]

YOU NEED TO CONTRUCT CANNONS AND IT WILL TEACH YOU WARF

sorry for caps

[full ruin]

Bro had caps lock on lol thank you

[frank pier]

TY for this.... I didn't have anything in my ships inventory when I died... does it come back when you recover your ship?

[mellow escarp]

on the first island there is a spot with a note and nothing else, i cannot complete it

[fleet valley]

get a shovel and use it for its traditional purpose.

[frank pier]

You're a pirate remember... do what Pirate's do!

[fleet valley]

perhaps there is something in the area that is serving as a marking you might want to investigate.

[lusty patio]

Iirc it's same rules as player inventory - you never lose equipment or consumables, but resourses remain afloat in the place where you died

[digital charm]

Is progress saved?

[mellow escarp]

i tried, i guess i need to dig a bigger radius

[digital charm]

When’s early access coming

[full ruin]

Ban him

[frank pier]

https://tenor.com/view/ban-hammer-yoshi-mario-discord-gif-12444703281338986867

[fleet valley]

If you want the answer.
It did take me a while to figure it out, but I'm sure you can too even if you do not look at this spoiler.
||Not at the tent with the note but there is a marker nearby that's a dead tree with a red cloth wrapped around it||

[frank pier]

yeah I was able to deploy my little boat, thinking I could just board my ship again and found my tombstone floating

[celest vortex]

Did I just find the game that Atlas should of been??

[fleet valley]

or New World, or Skull & Bones.

[full ruin]

This is what I wanted from SOT ngl

[tawny plover]

yes and no; atlas was better multiplayer cause more than 4 ppl; and i think their shipbuilding was more fleshed; but its a great valheim reskin for now

[frank pier]

SoT is just full of hackers nowadays

[full ruin]

Yeah it's unplayable

[tawny plover]

that or its a squeaker with too much sugar or home stability issues

[distant marsh]

can't be to surprised with atlas considering who made it

[mellow magnet]

Music sounds nice... but it's a bit weird that they have an orchestra at the boat, it would be better if it were just the voices

[celest vortex]

i had thousands of hours 😭 but they left for bellwright

oh no, slowmode was enabled -_-

[distant marsh]

still the company who made it is behind the janky monstrosity that is ark

[tawny plover]

admittedly its pretty tech intensive to build such a freeform game especially with the history of water physics and gaming

[mellow escarp]

this was my first attempt

[fleet valley]

Goodness

[frank pier]

Game needs a "Hide UI" button, so you can capture those epic screenshots!!!

[waxen minnow]

I’m sad….i want this game out now…but…it definitely needs a lot more depth

[frank pier]

Also an option to reduce the UI size

[fleet valley]

I mean you have the right idea, but you aren't looking in the right place clearly.

[mellow magnet]

Well... i got a few copper laying around

[mellow escarp]

i got it now lol, thank you for your help

[fleet valley]

and that's only 82 Ingots.

[mellow magnet]

yeah... that after i finished what he could do in demo...

[teal ridge]

is the release date 31 december? will they release an alpha or a beta before then do we know?

[mellow magnet]

gonna level up the weapons and save it for when they release the regular game (me and a friend of mine will probably carry it to give the itens to the regular save since you can bring stuff with you to other people worlds)

[tawny plover]

maybe there could be a davey jones 'locker' in the end game where you can save a 'loadout' for a pvp system - also liked an idea of procedurally generated areas for a more limitless expedtion

[lament flower]

BUSH

[cerulean grove]

Good morning, pirates!

[mellow magnet]

morning? GOD DAMN!

[cerulean grove]

well, it's 9 AM here, soooo yeah, morning. 😄

or was it more some kind of "damn, i've been playing all night again"

[mellow magnet]

5am here

yeah, thx god i'm on vacation... still, shouldn't have played all night

[cerulean grove]

meh, if you're on a vacation, theres nothing wrong with a bit of excessive gaming, no ?

[fleet valley]

I spent 11.4hrs on the demo today to do everything, got all my armor, weapons & ship parts fully upgraded then did sail around a bit after defeating the ship u take down to end the demo.
And all this in spite of it (I believe) overheating my PC several times (with cold air piped in and minimum graphics settings I was able to substantially increase the times between my PC shutting off).

[last gyro]

not sure if demo progress will carry over to EA release though, there may be some changes between the demo and the EA

[fleet valley]

I guess yesterday now, it's just past midnight here

[prime lake]

aaarrrg

[cerulean grove]

it took me 7 tries to finally kill all the crew of one of blackbeards ships ... i suck at combat.

[amber sorrel]

some one play wit me

[mellow magnet]

Yeah, you won't be able to keep your save BUT if we manage to get a demo player into a regular player save we can take stuff (if you have a friend that plays with you, and i do have)

Or if you manage to get a regular player into a demo player save

[fleet valley]

I don't really mind going through the early game stuff again post demo, the only thing I hope carries over is how your Pirate looks.

[late gale]

Update Where's the patch notes?

[cerulean grove]

aparently 4 days ago there was a "its too early to tell when we release"-info, but is there a general "idea" ... this year, next year kinda thing ?

[steep escarp]

did game crash for all?

[ivory sandal]

o7

[mellow magnet]

For instance, me and a friend are playing together, he started first and when he came to my world he kept his inventory, if when they release the regular game i manage to get, with my regular character, into my friends world i could just get the stuff from my old character

We 2 get in the same server, he gives me everything i had equiped and what he had equiped, i leave, he makes a new character and i give him his stuff back and keep mine

[cerulean grove]

Did you put in a lot of effort @fleet valley ?

[late gale]

update

[broken junco]

Scheduled Server Maintenance

[merry wind]

did anyone else get kicked? i was playing then just got kicked and cant join back

[steep escarp]

ahh ok

[ivory sandal]

server is updating

[broken junco]

next hour

[steep escarp]

why update a demo I don't get that

[fleet valley]

No, I just like him & don't wanna do it again.

[unreal anchor]

Excuse me , our game can't start 🙁

[late gale]

update the game

[unreal anchor]

your game is ok?

[merry wind]

i was building 🙁 lol

[last gyro]

testing stuff for EA release probably

[mellow magnet]

bugs found by demo player + fix update = better game

[steep escarp]

so beta Ea yes?

[unreal anchor]

ahhh thank you 😉

[mellow magnet]

I mean... for what it's now i'm already liking more than SoT and S&B

[late gale]

Sometimes I wonder

[cerulean grove]

I made some weirdly funny looking guy whose name losely translates to "Captain shaggy curle"

[mellow magnet]

Off to bed, good night yall and have a wonderful gameplay

[distant marsh]

my opinion is that the devs take as long as they need to in the mean time there's other games to play while i wait

[south sky]

alo

[weary knoll]

game's down due to an update. restart steam if the update doesn't show up.

[cerulean grove]

@distant marsh comming from the "Star Citizen"-community, i'm only 50% with you on that one 😄

[south sky]

anyone cant host?

[last gyro]

that's the beauty of playing several EA games at the same time, lol, I rotate between them as new stuff is added 😄

[steep escarp]

seeing as so many other games are pure trash

[south sky]

only loading then goes back to main menu

[distant marsh]

don't play pure trash 🤷‍♂️

[late gale]

Only the woke ones

[celest vortex]

good thing its cold, my pc turned into a heater playing this LOL

[steep escarp]

Now it blocks a swear word? really?

[hexed flame]

Anyone Know if the EA will before full release

[late gale]

Them's is the rules

[steep escarp]

some rules are F'ing stupid...

[late gale]

I know because it happened to me lol

[faint rivet]

2 BIIGGG MACS

[steep escarp]

my tongue has been dancing the naughty walk since I was a kid

[steep escarp]

Go cook real food your health will thank you along with your older future self unless you don't care about that person LOL

[faint rivet]

It was a reference from a stream lol.

[steep escarp]

Ooh!

[hardy condor]

No the Early Access will be after. Its the most innovative thing in gaming. Youll love it

[faint rivet]

TheBurntPeanut!!

[tawny plover]

demonization of language is a grotesque crime against humanity; thats why we have the freedom of speech; enforcers of verbal containment are malicious at best

[steep escarp]

heard of em don't watch

[ivory sandal]

i hear star citizen trying that approach

[abstract aspen]

yes we will have an early access before the full release :)

[hardy condor]

And we all know how perfect SC is. i wouldnt change anything about it

[hexed flame]

Sorry i mean anyone one know when EA will come before full release 🤦‍♂️

[abstract aspen]

No, we don't have an official date yet

[hexed flame]

Can't wait love the game

[wicked wing]

Bleed op

[late gale]

Stamina region go Nerfed

[lilac kayak]

just finished demo was way bigger then expected loved it thanks windrose cant wait for full release this was my base love you could dig into the ground made cool lil hill base side house 😎

[daring wind]

Guys I think the game's ready for early access. Just release it gang we're ready

[mild atlas]

Will our gears have durability in future?
Or just like now, no need to repair

[lone oxide]

My flagship got lost

[cerulean grove]

reclaim it for 20 wood

[lone oxide]

I tried boarding, got killed, tried going back to death marker, recalling ship, but get no option to recall ketch. Only boat. But ketch is no longer alongside enemy ship

[ivory sandal]

you have to repair your ship

[thick plover]

i like that you have to sail around and get those decoration paper thingies in order to actually unlock them so thats good

[topaz wren]

Built a wharf

[lone oxide]

I have a repair kit but using it does nothing.

[ivory sandal]

no at the thing you make to upgrade your ship

[ivory sandal]

wharf

[topaz wren]

I love the inside of my house

[obtuse hawk]

Looks great!

[cerulean grove]

i love how this demo is more fleshed out than some fully released games i've played ! cudos !

[topaz wren]

middle open chimney for cooking

[hardy condor]

I feel like The combat needs to be more tightened up first. Its feels janky, the perfect block could use more of a "pop" spo to spek so you arent watching shields instead of combat. And you should be able to better stand your ground instead of running to get stamina back, especilly in the close quarters of the ships

[obtuse hawk]

Costs 20 wood to bring your ship back at the wharf.

[cursive shore]

will this have dedicated servers at launch? do we know what the player cap will be? Im really enjoying the single player right now.

[tawny plover]

right now the limit is 4 players :\ so itll probably be just as limited-- very rare for games to expand the playercount

[ivory sandal]

most games let you change the ini for it, 4 is just the stable number

[cerulean grove]

the only thing i'm missing is an "automatic running"-button.

[tawny plover]

ini?

[obtuse hawk]

Boarding can be tricky for the first time due to the tight spaces and I died a lot when I first did it. Tip would be to let your crew board first and you can pick a few targets off with your musket from your ship. Once you board pick your battles carefully due to the tight areas of the boat and if you do become overwhelmed then just jump back your boat, heal and then head back into the action.

[hardy condor]

the .ini file. its carries the game settings

[tawny plover]

sailing auto's

[obtuse hawk]

That and auto gathering would be nice.

[fleet valley]

I didn't find the distances on the islands to be so large as to require auto run

[tawny plover]

ah- thats where the cancer is

[cerulean grove]

am just lazy

[hardy condor]

No. Thats where the drop miltipliers and the dificulties and in a lot of cases where you eneable the command console is...

[tawny plover]

i thought i saw in camp a worker command thing; so i think its gonna be like valheim x palworld

[obtuse hawk]

The repair kits are to be used on your hot bar when you are steering the ship. There’s a repair kit you can use in combat and one out of combat.

[lyric lance]

you caNT CRAFT GUNPOWDER?

[regal gust]

nope but you make a new world and loot the first cellar dungeon for 10 gunpowder (repeat as many time you need)

[fleet valley]

yeah its rather unfortunate.

[tawny plover]

imma just accept im too dumb for that; just gimme a ingame solution game file scrounging is cancer

[lyric lance]

did they do that on purpose kind of a l lowkey

[obtuse hawk]

Yes early access should come after the demo and before full release.

[lyric lance]

i wanna run around and shoot everything lol

W GAME tho

[obtuse hawk]

Sadly not in this demo but it does drop from some enemies and can be looted from chests.

[surreal sierra]

Youll ned a LOT of gunpowder matey

[hardy condor]

Its a PC not an xbox. The whole point of PCs is the freedom to do that.

[tawny plover]

my whole point of a pc was the modularity and opportunistic cost efficiency

file play is minutia imma leave to the creepy hacker weirdos & the dichotomic devs

[cerulean grove]

you think we get more seashanties ?

[visual patrol]

this game is awesome just started playing it today.

[fleet valley]

Tbh I am not a fan of these versions of the shanties, maybe I am just so used to the AC4 ones, but I do not like the extra whatever it is that is in the background behind the voices.
Hopefully that is something I can change with a mod later on.

[obtuse hawk]

I’m sure more will be added. You can start and stop them singing which usually starts a new shanty

[cerulean grove]

i know, or just hit "N" for next shanty

[obtuse hawk]

Glad to have you aboard matey and enjoying the game!

[topaz wren]

hmm I am?

ohh I need to build one derp

[visual patrol]

oh my gosh yeah... I was like i'll just try it out for an hour...3 hours later... *Dang they got me

[storm iris]

Arr Mateys,

Genuine question, I actual spent 10 hours in the demo and wanted to know if they were plans of an online multiplayer servers with pvp or it is only going to be privately hosted

[obtuse hawk]

Yeah demo is ranged at 4-6 hours but you can easily spend more of your time like building or are a completist.

[topaz wren]

Now that is epic

[hidden onyx]

where i find iron?

[visual patrol]

when does the demo end? Cause I acutally got pretty far for the first time palying i'm at the part where you build your own boat... I left the doc on the other island....i kind of felt bad for him...maybe i'll go back and get him..

[obtuse hawk]

Currently pvp has mostly been benched but that doesn’t mean it won’t come back. #1472630536169324616 message

[obtuse hawk]

You can keep playing the demo all the way up to early access. The story will stop continuing but you can keep playing.

[obtuse hawk]

No iron in this demo.

[cerulean grove]

is the world/islands always the same, or randomized ?

[fleet valley]

you can move the doc to any new place you make by interacting with the bonfire & having him settle at your new place

[visual patrol]

oh nice that's sweet! so far I like the game but i want to see the more pirate stuff! on the boats and stuff just been on the islands the whole time. VERY COOL GAME i love it!

[tawny plover]

🥳

[visual patrol]

oh no way does he show up automatically or do i call him over?

[storm iris]

Ok the game has been on my radar for ages and I know we don't have a date yet. it is very polished for a demo, Is there anyway to help like a kickstrater bundle?

[tacit vortex]

Ookay that game start positive suprise me

[frank pier]

Are all these able to be explored or is it limited in the Demo?

[fleet valley]

clicking the button effectively IS calling him over, I lost him for a bit because I got rid of my initial settlement.
As soon as you click it he's at ur new camp

[visual patrol]

eventally i wanna play with other people...but I wanna get good at the game first. lol

[obtuse hawk]

Yes later on you will be able to have crew at your camp help to gather resources for you. #1472629844209565971 message

[visual patrol]

I figured the first settlement wasn't worth investing in...good thing I didn't do too much

ugh i gotta go to bed night night awesome game I'll let you know more soon as i play some more.

[obtuse hawk]

Pretty sure you can’t but I would need to double check. I know there is definitely 2 buried treasures though.

[fleet valley]

I mean the other islands have more stuff & such but with bells once you can make them yourself it's not like it'd really hurt you to have additional camps.

[tawny plover]

the games pretty enough i want to build tons of bases- but its not multiplayer enough to show off or explore others worlds with ease

[frank pier]

yeah, I've found two also

[boreal parrot]

it really doesn't matter once you get enough copper to put fast travel points everywhere 🙂

[obtuse hawk]

I have a small camp on each island just for the respawn point alone.

[visual patrol]

wait wait eventually you can play with other players right online and stuff?

[true skiff]

you can do that now Johnny V

[hardy condor]

you can now

[tawny plover]

you can multiplayer in the demo; but its via invite code for now; and im a bit too antisocial to be asking for ppls codes 😂

[fleet valley]

once I got to the second island I disassembled my island 1 camp, but yeah the first thing I'd do when sailing to a new island is drop a bonfire & a tent so that I don't have to resail the same route again if I die.
I did fail to do this once, but I learned my lesson.

[tawny plover]

then theyll want me to use my mic and aaaaahhhhhhhhhhh

[visual patrol]

ohhhh okay yeah i wanna get the hang of the game first before I play with other people, i'd love to get a group of people playing eventually that would be sick.

[boreal parrot]

i played the whole demo, finished it and then when i closed the game there was an update... it fixed the bug that kept causing the game to freeze for 2-3 seconds randomly. i suffered through probably 500 freezes only to find out i could have gone to sleep and had no more freezes in the morning 😩

[obtuse hawk]

Currently they have settled on 4 players. They did stress test 20 players but it wasn’t stable. They are open to increasing that number though if possible in the future. #💬│windrose-chat message

[weak fable]

imagine the game having in game voice though, you just hear someone yelling from their boat 😂

[cerulean grove]

how do we fuel the oil-lamp?

[visual patrol]

alright i'm out for real catch ya later!

[fleet valley]

I didn't have any of those freezes, but it did (I think overheat &) shut down my pc a good dozen times today.

[boreal parrot]

get fat from piggies, then go to workbench and switch to the refuel tab (top left)

[obtuse hawk]

Stupidly I would do that sometimes and then forget to click on the bed and when I died I would end up on the first island again ha.

[cerulean grove]

ah, thx @boreal parrot

[frank pier]

Been there, done that. 🤣

[fleet valley]

3 animal fat fills up the lantern, I do kinda wish that it wasn't required to do 3 every time though and it's like each 1 gives 1/3 of the charge.

[boreal parrot]

i hope theres a better lantern in the full game that lasts longer

i keep forgetting to turn it off and run out of fuel anyway so i don't think it will make much difference lol

[lusty patio]

I think current one lasts quite long... 15 minutes, maybe even longer. Just don't forget to turn it off so it won't consume fuel!

[distant marsh]

Whale oil perhaps

[verbal summit]

Is there a beta code?

[tawny plover]

demo- steam

[ember sentinel]

can you delete your character ?

[fleet valley]

only happened to me once going from island 2 to 3, after that I spent a couple hrs upgrading my weps and armor before venturing back & I came with a bell so that I wouldn't have to sail it a 3rd time.

[upbeat olive]

anyone else havignit need an update but keeps failing,last time it happened i had to reinstall but my save was gone

[regal gust]

unbelievable, hunting blue dodo's for their head, still haven't dropped, kills a boar on the way, and behold the 4th boar head... come on!!

[verbal summit]

That's not a beta code.

[trim stump]

15 minutes into the demo and I already think the game is fantastic. I really hope the developers or modders will manage to bring a PvP aspect into the game more players and pirate battles. That’s what would make it perfect.

[lusty patio]

Demo is free and available to all

[fleet valley]

Maybe its because I was on the lowest graphics settings but even inside caves it never got super dark like happened in the review videos I watched, so while I did turn it on a couple times I think I only refilled it once in my 11hrs playing.

[regal gust]

there is no beta version. only demo.

[rancid solar]

Patch?

[lusty patio]

#│game-updates message

[tawny plover]

you asked if there was a code - my information alludes to no beta code required - plz think for yourself ty kindly

[halcyon cedar]

Anyone know if they fixed the connection issues?

[rancid solar]

Thx ❤️

[lusty patio]

Fixed boarding UI notifications and few other things

[halcyon cedar]

If you play with friends

[verbal summit]

Do you even Steam bro?

[covert sage]

cant wait for more ships

[ember sentinel]

anyone else able to turn hdr on ?

[verbal summit]

I'll direct my inquiry directly to the dev team. Thanks!

[ivory sandal]

you just play the demo no beta code required

[verbal summit]

I have the demo. I was wanting to know if they have a public beta to help test.

[fleet valley]

is there a reason we have to go to the curios page and learn the recipes we pick up from the treasure chests & that we don't just auto learn them when we pick up the pages?

[tawny plover]

DO YOU????

[verbal summit]

Go back to reddit pleb

[ebon portal]

So, do you know when they're going to release the game?

[last gyro]

31hrs in and I've not even built my boat, lol
Trying to stretch out the demo content to the max... 🤣

[raven dagger]

that finished awhile ago next up, early access

[regal gust]

there is no beta.

[upbeat olive]

my update keeps failing on epic

[verbal summit]

Thanks for the actual directed response, looking forward to next round!

[tawny plover]

imma just keep him blocked before i get myself banned 😂

[fleet valley]

you can always submit their feedback form

[lusty patio]

A bit more details, please?

[verbal summit]

Click the arrow... you know you have to look DiNoFrOmxBoX 😂

[topaz wren]

anyone know why this camp is showing 0/1 and has no chests?

[verbal summit]

Really enjoying the demo

[topaz wren]

its on first island

[regal gust]

read the note and it tells you find a tree with a red rag and dig.

[hardy condor]

Look at the ground

[verbal summit]

Glad we got another indie game showing the big studios what's up

[topaz wren]

oh I need a shovel, thanks!

[zenith timber]

can you find iron in the demo?

[obtuse hawk]

Make sure you craft and bring a shovel!

[regal gust]

no

[zenith timber]

damn thanks

[verbal summit]

If you guys haven't also checked out The Last Caretaker, another good group of devs with a great concept. Thus far TLC and Windrose are my top 2 this year looking forward to.

[halcyon cedar]

Hello how to fix so we dont have connections issues when playing with friends. They keep disconnecting

[fleet valley]

Being unable to make gunpowder is rough, especially when I really like how the guns feel.

[lusty patio]

We're still investigating those. In the meantime you may try to use other player as a host

[zenith timber]

so just the 3 islands in the demo? I tried to explore and my ship blew up 🙁

[torpid dirge]

Also, could you please create a topic in #1298615153209638942? We need your game logs to investigate this issue further

[verbal summit]

Keep up the great work!

[fleet valley]

it does give you the warning going into T3 waters

[halcyon cedar]

I did make a bug report.

[zenith timber]

i thout it was an enemy so i was looking for it lol

[fleet valley]

I didn't explore the whole ocean but I believe yeah just the 3 atm.

[verbal summit]

dont tell him what to do

[tawny plover]

at least its farmable ^~^ murder murder murder

[zenith timber]

does anyone else have a prob with the item spilt in containers not working some times?

[lusty patio]

It seems EGS launcher can't get access to files, your system is blocking it. Try reloading PC/launcher ig, if it won't help - please create thread in bugs

[daring grove]

is there a third person cam y in the big ship and is there a key to put down the anchor on the big ship ?

[topaz wren]

thanks guys, I got the cool rapier of a thousand cuts now

[zenith timber]

yes F

[torpid dirge]

gratz

[fleet valley]

I haven't tried to seriously farm it by making the new worlds or hopping between pirate camps as idk their respawn timers.
I do kinda wish we could get some when fighting the pirates on the ships, but alas.

[tawny plover]

i think its the same as mining nodes

[topaz wren]

what is the third slot? In the demo?

[zenith timber]

I am missing discovering the item in the far left on the chart anyone know what that is?

[lusty patio]

Not available in the demo

[topaz wren]

thanks

[verbal summit]

https://tenor.com/view/dino-flintstones-the-gif-23786489

[fleet valley]

I dunno how fast they respawn either.

[tawny plover]

roughly 1 day ingame

[verbal summit]

I had no clue I was interacting with THE DinoFromXbox, should'a got an autograph..

[fleet valley]

and if you say as fast as the trees I swear 😁

[obtuse hawk]

Not 100% sure but do you have the crab trophy?

[verbal summit]

I do think the wood harvesting should yield more wood per tree imo

[fleet valley]

you're just missing a ||crab shell from the lil crabs||

[tawny plover]

nahh tthe trees are weird & get bothered by structures i think- so a bit more math

[zenith timber]

ok thanks

i hate being incomplete lol

[topaz wren]

Epic game

[verbal summit]

The Pirate Game we've all been waiting for.

[topaz wren]

Just pressed B for sea shanties, yee haw

[zenith timber]

I wish the repair kitds woeked on the ships

[upbeat olive]

they do

[zenith timber]

I found an epic combat one but it doesnt do anything

[verbal summit]

If you didn't see Asmondgold's video/stream on this it's worth a watch and is how I found it.

[cerulean grove]

is there a "transfer all items" button from loot-chest etc. ?

[cursive shore]

is there a way to get oil for the lamp? or another light source for the mines..

[verbal summit]

I was about to look that up myself lol

[tawny plover]

yes top left- right side of screen

[verbal summit]

+1 I vote @tawny plover for Community Mod

[tawny plover]

https://tenor.com/view/shake-weight-andy-shake-shake-lifting-muscle-gif-8945999935666805194

[white locust]

animal fat is used to fill the lamp

[zenith timber]

@cursive shore yes from animal fat

[lusty patio]

I hope I won't get dragged under the keel for this, but it's gonna be used for things like this (tooltip is a bit placeholdery though)

[cursive shore]

alchemy i assume.. havent built that one yet

[topaz wren]

I cant find the enemy ships though sigh

[verbal summit]

Great meeting everyone, looking forward to everything, thanks again for the help!

[fleet valley]

Ironically I first learned of the game though Asmon checking out the trailer yesterday, but the first actual content of the game (aside from the trailer) I saw was from Splattercat who's posted a review earlier in the day that I'd just missed.

[topaz wren]

ew dont admit that

[verbal summit]

I'll check out Splattercat, thanks!

I love being radicalized by Asmondgold and Splattercat. Makes me feel like a true Anarchist.

[topaz wren]

ENEMY SPOTTED

[tawny plover]

why not- asmons got a clean dik

[verbal summit]

I take back everything I said about Dino

[fleet valley]

he reviews a new indie game daily, I cant say I watch every one but its a nice easy way to learn of new titles.

[verbal summit]

That's rad, I'll check them out

[shrewd arch]

I heard the demo is out so here I am, but I want to ask, does it have a good length? Like is there enough content to invest time in it?

[verbal summit]

Indie > AAA

[raven dagger]

not really unless you like building 5-6 hrs maybe, awesome 5-6 hours though

[fleet valley]

I think you can finish it in like 5-6hrs if you're quick, upgrading everything I got a good 11hrs out of it.

[surreal sierra]

HE SNITCHIN' GET HIM!

[surreal sierra]

Its good fun, about 4-6 hours-ish

[tawny plover]

lvl cap 5 but you can have 10 fast travel points so kinda- for a demo its very much

[lusty patio]

Send 'em to @old vine

[shrewd arch]

Its not too bad if its like that, there are entire completed indie games with only that total time

[lusty patio]

It won't get you banned by our mods, but I'm not sure on how discord in general works with that tbh

[cursive shore]

is the world procedural or static?

[fleet valley]

I did spend a decent bit building & harvesting & turning my pc back on because it can barely handle the game due to my subpar cooling solution (opening all my windows & wearing layers so I don't freeze)

[lusty patio]

Mixture of both. We try to keep moving to make more and more parts procedural generated gradually

[faint rivet]

Are the servers back up?

[dawn crystal]

how can i equip my cannons in there?

[cursive shore]

how long is the demo running?

[surreal sierra]

up until EA

so dont worry that theres a time limit

[lusty patio]

Last year playtest I think all maps were more or less same and it had very slight degree of randomess.
Now we have moving islands, more adaptive/random coastlines, some PoIs like dodo nests are randomly placed per seed, etc.
Slow and steady process to eventually make it as procedural as possible without damaging rest of the game (i.e. boss arena missing due to generator mistake)

[chilly fiber]

i regret picking hard difficulty, all in all, good fun.

[faint rivet]

Are the servers stable again, they were kicking us out earlier

[regal gust]

you change the dificulty before you load the world (select the edit instead of load)

[lusty patio]

Update is done, so should be fine!

[chilly fiber]

shiiiiit aight

[tawny plover]

i never got prompted theres a time limit 😏

[lusty patio]

Please report if anything is not working (and it did work fine prior to the update)

[neon sphinx]

just finished the last demo quest where you destroy the ship! im really loving this game, i have really high hopes!

[regal gust]

sure ben i lost access to the second and third biome after the patch, hehehe...

[neon sphinx]

GG

[cerulean grove]

i feel chopping trees should give you a bit more wood than it does right now. you're almost better collecting driftwood, than actually chopping :S

[obtuse hawk]

Chop it so it knocks another tree over and save chopping time

[neon sphinx]

havent explored other biomes yet though, it way late in the night for me so ill explore more later!

[cerulean grove]

i try, but usually that doesn't work too well

[fleet valley]

it's a little better with the copper axe than the stone but only a little

[lusty patio]

Yeah, I usually look for dense patches of trees, you can hit one and 2 more fall

And then if you drop another tree on top of fallen ones - it does break them

[regal gust]

arh yes when you could plant trees, and with spam clicking they could stack, so you had a whole collection of trees neatly clipping over each other, and tightly grouped, cutting one and every tree just exploded. that was fun.

[surreal sierra]

OR do the Swabien method and use your ships cannons to eviscerate the coastline, then hop over, pick up the wood, rinse and repeat

[upbeat olive]

im reinstalling hoping i dont have to restart lol,praying to the pirate gods lol

[lusty patio]

That works too!

[fleet valley]

[fair hazel]

Hello everyone ^^

[surreal sierra]

Mornin'

[verbal summit]

Aliens are real. New Era Incoming.

[zenith timber]

I think I have done all I can in the Demo was a ton of fun thanks Devs for letting me try it

[fleet valley]

but can I use them to dig out the terrain?

[fair hazel]

Damnnn bro

[steady burrow]

how many players can play in a single server

[surreal sierra]

currently coop is 4 people

[open river]

Just Downloaded! anyone has a game where we can try the demo? #invitecode ... im way too excited to try!

[distant heart]

Awesome Demo, loved it. Cant help but think the whole time playing PVP would be so great in this game. Have you any plans for PVP servers in the future?

[dawn crystal]

how do you get gun pownder??

[zenith timber]

PvP ruins games thats why they changed this one

[fleet valley]

kill pirates & loot their chests

[dawn crystal]

inst ther a way to craft it?

[terse ridge]

you cant make it yet - you can find it in chests and drops from human mobs

[surreal sierra]

PvP isnt currently a main focus. It might be implimented in the future with Dedicated servers but its not a priority

[fleet valley]

alas no

[cerulean grove]

what "is" the priority ?

[surreal sierra]

Not right now, the gunpowder recipe was causing a bunch of technical issues so the devs disabled it

[distant heart]

ahh ok thats quite disapointing tbh

[cyan aurora]

I don't get that, why introduce weapons if we can't craft ammo

[surreal sierra]

Create the game into a stable state and add the intended content to make the finished product

[cerulean grove]

@cyan aurora you can get gunpowder as a lootdrop from pirates you kill

[surreal sierra]

You can craft ammo

[cyan aurora]

yeah but to shoot the gun you need gunpowder lol, if gunpwoder is cooked in coding just make it so you just craft pallets

[cerulean grove]

@surreal sierra sounds about right 😄

[surreal sierra]

Gunpowder is easy to farm too. Make new world, go to the buried basement, 10 gunpowder in a chest, delete world, rinse repeat

you can get LOADS in a very short amount of time

[distant heart]

weird comment but ok. pretty sure PVP games are the most played worldwide so even having an option or feature would be beneficial

[cyan aurora]

is that really how you want the game to run for a resource ?

[surreal sierra]

Its a demo, this is not how a resource will be acquired in the future with EA or full release

[torpid dirge]

check out #1349751664843685990

[fair hazel]

Small question, with the ship you can go to other islands or it's a work in progress for the moment?

[fleet valley]

PVP is always a balancing act and it CAN ruin things if a game that isn't designed specifically around PVP tries to balance for it, but even though I wouldn't play it myself I think a PVP mode would be a cool thing to try and get working in the longer term.

[surreal sierra]

For the time being, YES its annoying to do but nothing we can do about it until the Devs are able to fix it if they want to since theyre busy getting ready for EA whenever it may be

[surreal sierra]

Yep, the demo includes 3 islands in the archipelago and all of them are fully explorable

[fleet valley]

will they ever let us dig tunnels instead of just holes?

[fair hazel]

Thx , and i never thinked i will be afraid of dodos since when i played ark

[lusty patio]

Very very very unlikely

[cerulean grove]

i already got a couple of other dudes to download this demo, its just an amazing game, keep up the aweseom work 🙂

[lusty patio]

Basically have to re-do whole terrain tech for that

[remote bough]

Not a dev, so this is just a guess, but probably not. It looks to me like the game is using hightmap adjustments for digging, instead of voxels, which means they can't do tunnels without some serious jank.

[lusty patio]

^ this

Even with jank it's nigh impossible

[fleet valley]

Totally fair

[crystal schooner]

Sir, are there any server host settings for PVP between friends?

[short basalt]

Good morning chat

[lusty patio]

Not atm

[short basalt]

In the current demo there isn't

[surreal sierra]

Ayy morning Mullet man

[crystal schooner]

ahh i hope when the full release there will be

because it would be fun if you did PVP with friends, right?

[fair hazel]

There is farming impemented? And do the trees and fauna regrouw?

[surreal sierra]

Sadly right now they dont

if you need stacks and stacks of wood, I recommend making a new world. Filling yoyur inventory with wood then going back to your main world

[crystal schooner]

And how many people per server host? 100, right? Or just 4 people?

[signal zodiac]

still can't join friends

[surreal sierra]

just 4 for now

[zenith timber]

Ask Dune how pvp worked out for them that was a great pve game

[trim stump]

It's my dream game, all that's missing is PVP, I hope modders or developers make it possible

[signal zodiac]

anyone fixed this issue ?

[cursive shore]

is oil a recipe you need to find?

[fleet valley]

u just need animal fat from the pigs

[remote bough]

Assuming you're talking for filling the lamp, no. You just use animal fat which is a drop.

[crystal schooner]

Windrose is good game W team,Dev,and the community

[fleet valley]

and use the repair/refill section of the workbench

[raven dagger]

Pvp wasn't dunes issue at all

[cursive shore]

I don't see where to change it from fat to oil.

[zenith timber]

Is there any word on when they will go into early access?

[surreal sierra]

We love our team, devs and community.

[short basalt]

A lot of recipes are not available in the current demo

[signal zodiac]

guys can you help with the issue of the connection ?

[remote bough]

You don't need to, just go into the workbench there is a tab. I think it's called repair/refuel. You put it in the lamp through there.

[keen ingot]

im hooked cant wait for full game

[cursive shore]

ty

[surreal sierra]

Unfortunatly theres not a lot we can do other than recommend keep trying. We know there are some connectivity issues but it also could be other factors such as internet speeds

[zenith timber]

I wish they would change the name back though it was alot better

[remote bough]

The worst thing about the demo is that I'm out of stuff to do, but wan't to keep playing haha

[zenith timber]

build thats what ive been doing

[raven dagger]

Try it on hard mode 👍

[signal zodiac]

@surreal sierra
so just trying will eventually work ?

[remote bough]

I already did hard mode, and I don't want to build if I'm gonna loose it all once EA releases.

[surreal sierra]

Eh, its what worked for me usually, but its not a guaranteed fix

[signal zodiac]

i see, thanks for the info

[surreal sierra]

Did you go sink the interceptor?

[zenith timber]

well you all have fun ill see you when EA gets here

[distant heart]

why are you advocating for no PVP lol? there could easily be PVP / PVE servers i guess you had your cheeks spread on to many games?

[remote bough]

I was not aware of an interceptor, only the transport ships.

[fleet valley]

think of the building not as something you'll lose but as practice/testing for what you'll build later

[raven dagger]

At 500%? 😏👍

[steel arch]

I wish there was a talent where you can have shanties in combat, call it bard on board lol

[regal gust]

you mean one hit mode even with maxed out equip

[zenith timber]

@distant heart No i have just seen pvp kill to many great games

[surreal sierra]

Ahaaa, sail out far enough and a secret third ship type should spawn

[raven dagger]

Dodos dont lol but yeah that one

[surreal sierra]

its gorgeous

[fleet valley]

which direction?

[surreal sierra]

Any as far as I know

[distant heart]

what like DOTA, league, CS,, runescape, EFT, Valorant, Albion, Rust ect? the most played games of all time?

[surreal sierra]

I've not seen it personally, just screenshots from other people testing before the demo went live

[zenith timber]

Like New World and Dune for a couple

[remote bough]

Really? I must have missed it. I sailed every direction far enough to get the turn back warning.

[raven dagger]

Worst examples you could use

[distant heart]

That was bad combat and bad decisions that killed them games not PVP

[zenith timber]

both were great pve games and PvP killed them

[raven dagger]

Guys some people like pvp some like pve and thats fine, just dont poke each other about it and it'll be fine 👍

[remote bough]

I feel like Dune died just because it didn't have enough content to keep players around.

[surreal sierra]

It is real

[raven dagger]

Dune had zero endgame so people left in droves and new world had the worst dev team known to man and honestly the pvp community kept it alive

[surreal storm]

hello, progress from demo will goes to full version or not? (offline)

[distant heart]

Having PVP as the only content to do at end game probably didnt help and no other option for non-PVP players but it wasnt PVP t hat killed it

[surreal sierra]

Demo progress wont carry over no

[surreal storm]

ok thanks

[snow pecan]

There was a patch just now?

[fair hazel]

How i build a boat? :))

[fleet valley]

I'd keep your argument away from League, DotA & the like because those are games that are specifically designed for PVP where it's the entire point of the game.

PvP games excell at PvP, your argument is better from things like Rust where it can be both more PvE & PvP.
The issue I find personally is that PvE games can add PvP modes (and I do think it'd be neat to have PvP here even though I personally wouldn't play it) but if they try too hard to balance around or account for it, it can end up ruining even the PvE side of the game. It becomes a balancing act which ends up as another plate the devs have to spin.

[raven dagger]

#│game-updates

[fleet valley]

follow quest

[fair hazel]

oky doky

[fleet valley]

or press K by the water for smol boat

[tawny plover]

your given a dingy after you meet a guy; then you get a bigger boat after you get lots of guys

[lusty patio]

It doesn't depend on the distance though. Just spawns with certain chance on any ship spawn point

[surreal sierra]

Ah now this I did not know. (I am spending 90% of my time as a landlubber constructing and not on the waves)

[raven dagger]

Must've killed 1000 crabs by now, imma get it 👍

[smoky lynx]

the first thing I saw after character creation was that ship in the distance and seen it lots from the beach since.

[fleet valley]

oh, I did fight that ship I think (unless there are other lvl 4 ships out there) I didn't realize it was any different from the others

[distant heart]

I get that it takes more work for sure but it would be cool to have PVP server thats all I was getting at as the game seems primed for it. I dont understand players that are advocating against when it doesnt effect them if there is a choice between PVP and PVE.

[amber sorrel]

how i get the ore from top

[surreal sierra]

build a small platform to stand on

[regal gust]

build a platform below.

[raven dagger]

It always seems pvers are more aggressive whenever anyone asks about pvp in games, ironic but devs have said not for the time being but never say never type deal so still possible in the future after they've got the game running strong

[fleet valley]

even if not a pvp server at least a way to turn pvp on with ur friends would certainly be neat.

I think a lot of PvE players have been burned by games going hard down the PvP route so get a lil reflexively defensive about it.

[surreal sigil]

any good severs to join?

[regal gust]

thats not how the game works, you play with your friends or solo, (or group of players where you play together)

[regal gust]

true but lets call it friendly fire, instead of pvp so we dont need to balance for pvp.

[raven dagger]

I was a super sweat on sot then I chilled into survival games so see the beauty of both styles just dont get why people have to be one or the other without seeing either style as valid

[amber sorrel]

do i gotta delete platform when im done idk if it stops it from spawning ?

[old vine]

The ore will spawn though the platform

[amber sorrel]

how i get oil for the torch ??

[surreal sierra]

I’d delete it just in case

[amber sorrel]

thanks

[surreal sierra]

Or leave it if the ore spawns normally as Sindlad says

[regal gust]

2 sec let me double check the names ingame

[lusty patio]

Well, talking from a dev standpoint at least, that's not entirely correct. Any sensible developer won't JUST enable PvP. If you provide an option to the player - you want experience this player gets to be at least alright, not completely horrible. So, you can't really JUST enable PvP - you need to probe into how your systems interact with each other for PvP, fix all the broken stuff. Maybe rebalance certain things if they break PvP too much, do some additional tweaks. And while it doesn't neccessarily affect PvE experience per se - all the development time you spending to make sure PvP works fine is taken from developing new PvE update. And it rings even more true for smaller independent teams, that can't boast 300+ headcounts.

[amber sorrel]

this is like aska but easier and kinda more fun'

[regal gust]

animal fat, then use workbench, in the "refill/repair" tab.

[fleet valley]

I had never considered building stuff to mine the ceiling copper, but I always ended up with a full inventory before it got to that point anyway.

[hardy edge]

Hi everyone, I wanted to play the demo with a friend, but he has r5 check status and therefore can't host or join a game. Does anyone know what the problem is? And could you maybe tell me how to fix it?

[regal gust]

thats why we call it friendly fire, 😛

[raven dagger]

I loved valheim but enable pvp was such a bad idea, the multiplayer lag that was already a thing just made pvp so janky it made the game look worse than it was so 100% agree

[distant heart]

I wasnt talking about a toggle for PVP that would suck I was talking about dedicated PVP servers but I agree that its more dev time to balance ect I was just asking if it was planned for the future

[raven dagger]

Not planned, not ruled out

[surreal sierra]

Actually here is the official word on PvP from Devblog#5

I quote this regularly like its scripture lol

[surreal sigil]

ah roger that. any group i can join. been playing solo for hours getting a bet lonely 😭

[distant heart]

Ok thanks for the information, appreciate it. Thats promising atleast

[cerulean grove]

wheres the dev team located ?

[distant heart]

Hopefully you have banger sales and can hire more Ppl i can see it doing very well on release

[raven dagger]

You must have to have a blue name for people to think information is valid 😆🤦

[surreal sierra]

behind their computers mostly

[cerulean grove]

duuuh

[snow tusk]

any1 know if the demo world will be playable in Alpha or full release?

[wheat otter]

isnt it just a cutted map? dont think theres an extra map for the demo or?

[wheat otter]

or u mean your progress?

[tawny plover]

ill join your world; but im desperately avoiding speaking

[snow tusk]

the progress. if i could keep playing on the "demo" world in full release or if i must restart

[wheat otter]

its a full restart

[mellow escarp]

can two players board the same ship at the same time?

[tawny plover]

i assume so; its mp up to 4 ppl

[short basalt]

Only one but another player can help out

[broken junco]

quick question - in this demo are there only the 3 islands?

[short basalt]

yes

The demo is a very condensed showcase

[mellow escarp]

my friend and i tried and the game crashed and the world cannot load in

[broken junco]

Plenty in the demo - I've loved it! was just curious

[amber sorrel]

the demo is peak lol

[broken junco]

Also - how do you make gunpowder?

[short basalt]

Wait til you can play the full game

[tawny plover]

ah thats not nice

[real kraken]

Hi guys, i have stone bullet but my gun still doesn't reload. Anyone know how to load bullets?

[wheat otter]

i cant wait 😭

[short basalt]

The recipe isn't available currently.
you will have to defeat pirates who will drop it

[tawny plover]

need bullets & gunpowder

[real kraken]

Ahh i see. Thank you

[hardy condor]

Hey Mullet, i got an idea for the devs to get their game noticed by a few million people. I cant wait up for one of them to wonder into the coversation to tell them so pass it on that if they get Neebs Gaming on board, its a no brainer for them. And their game is 100% right up Neebs Gamings alley.

[surreal sierra]

Oh neebs is cool

Love those guys

[short basalt]

@old vine

[broken junco]

I have one item not learned - assuming its the gunpowder recipe? Or am I missing something
Bottom right next to boar head

[hardy condor]

right? and you KNOW that crafting survivals is their bread and butter

Plus Appsro LOVES pirates

[short basalt]

[wheat otter]

u got the trophy from the crab already?

[short basalt]

apologies for the ping Sind

[cerulean grove]

will there be "seamonsters" - kraken and such ? or nah ?

[old vine]

Can you create a ticket/thread in bugs channel, and add your game logs there so we can check?

[supple roost]

same here

[surreal sierra]

Yep, Goeff will attack your ship in storms and throw eggs at your windows

[hardy condor]

All im saying is 2.4 million people watching your game and seeing a group have that kind of fun cant hurt your game

[tawny plover]

if there arent i think it'll be a very dissapointing game

[mellow escarp]

i was able to open it afterall, trying to load it in coop the first time after he crash didnt work

[broken junco]

I believe so - will confirm soon

[surreal sierra]

Jokes aside while theres no indication so far about them being added or planned, the supernatural element that already exists would easily give way to sea monsters as mentioned.

Nothing has been said officially or behind the scenes that we know of but I wouldnt rule it out completely

[twin wraith]

Hi all, new around here and ive just discovered this game through asmongold. Must say this runs very nice indeed and looking forward to whats to come.

[short basalt]

Amazing show

[surreal sierra]

meaning?

[wheat otter]

With a Demo 🤌🏽 love seeing it grow

[tawny plover]

my idea is the pirate scheme is basically nothing without the classic tales; sirens krakens ghosts and such soo it just seems sooo unlikely to not have at least 1 of the archetypes yaknow

[surreal sierra]

I get it, although most pirates here should worry about Goeff hiding in that one basement on the first island

[last gyro]

this game is beautiful, I can't believe it runs so well on my ancient toaster, lol

[short basalt]

Supernatural

[broken junco]

Be sure to leave steam reviews gang - spread the good word. I've had 4 random steam friends pick it up because of my review

[surreal sierra]

OOOOOH I forgot about that

I havnt finished it yet

[short basalt]

Believe it or not, the Kraken has no correlation with pirates.
The only reason people associate it with them now is because of PotC

[surreal sierra]

Leeeets nooooot

[regal gust]

yeah wasn't kraken a norse thing.

[short basalt]

The Kraken is more associated with vikings

[short basalt]

Correct

[crisp cave]

how far can I get with my buddies?

[amber sorrel]

what does drinking rum do lol

[tawny plover]

imma refuse to believe it- also idk potc

[regal gust]

cures you of what ails you. and much much more.. /s

[short basalt]

Pirates of the Caribbean

[surreal sierra]

Makes one more fun at parties

[broken junco]

Also not going to lie, I had no idea there was a skill tree or attributes - I got like 80% of the way through the demo just getting monstered by dodo birds.

[sterile shell]

I finished the demo in one afternoon with a friend and we were left wanting more. I hope they announce a release date very, very soon because I want to spend all my money! xD

[lusty patio]

Why no one says mermaids

:(

[tawny plover]

oh jfc right right; i mean they got it from somewhere right

[short basalt]

PotC has shaped a lot of what people believe about pirates.
Not all correct unfortunately

[serene ibex]

so is it just the 3 islands that can be visited?

[tawny plover]

sirens & mermaids are of the same copendium ; like ghosts and skeletons

[broken junco]

ITS MER-MAN

[short basalt]

Like Davy Jones as a pirate

[crystal schooner]

ah yeah mermaids like in the movie jack sparrow

[raven dagger]

Thought sirens were mermaids?

[regal gust]

sirens is above water mermaids, and mermaids is below water sirens.

[lusty patio]

Depends, sirens are half-human half-birds sometimes

[tawny plover]

boi sold his soul to protect his crew from the tides of hell - lowkey hes a hero though he damned them too

[short basalt]

The PotC one?

[tawny plover]

i thought that was his og lore; idk though probably

[raven dagger]

I like this explanation alot lol 👍

[chrome current]

Is it known if there will be customisation how to equip a ship? or place xtra canons, or will the stuff be stock only for simplicity?

Thinking back to atlas and what ships i cooked up there xD

[short basalt]

The ship customisation won't be as crazy as Atlas thankfully aha

[tawny plover]

same compendium 🥳

[regal gust]

those thing are in the demo (besides skin costumization)

[raven dagger]

I knew there was a relationship but VOC explanation is chefs kiss

[chrome current]

yeah, i had a shooner back in the day that had massive cannones in the middle of the ship, called it organ and used it in territory defense to take down galleons xD

[sterile shell]

It would be cool if you could get the skins by completing long, difficult missions or simply... by paying. Since they're skins, it doesn't affect the gameplay, and that way the game would have some monetization (only if you want to).

[chrome current]

i dont speak about upgrading, but for example own canon destribution etc

[serene ibex]

are the 3 islands all that can be visited in this demo?

[regal gust]

OH, yeah okay, yeah i don't know that,

[lusty patio]

Many places in the world have their own mythology. Talking about Caribbean proximity - i.e. Haitian myths have their own mermaids

[tawny plover]

i mean - all legends and lores build off each other anyway ; dont think ive seen or know voc

[chrome current]

Nice Yuno pfp xD

[regal gust]

i forgot which water is the game set in (east india, carbian, entire world, something entirely difrenent)

[cyan aurora]

why can't i equip cannon after building a wharf? i'm literally standing next to the ketch

[regal gust]

you sure it is the wharf?

[raven dagger]

Replied to my comment up there and just shortened the name

[short basalt]

I'm sure paid cosmetics and earnable ones will be planned for the game
i am willing to pay for my Mullet

[regal gust]

as in the name is wharf and not the other thing where you construct the item.

[raven dagger]

That guy 👆

😆

[regal gust]

#💬│windrose-chat message here the post mick is talking about.

[cyan aurora]

yeah i build piers, maybe im dyslexic and can't find anywhere that says wharf in game?

[regal gust]

in the same tab as you build the bonfire and tent there is a wharf (last building)

[cyan aurora]

ah, aint no way they made the wharfs photo a market stall

ty

[chrome current]

but yeah, the demo made the hype train i was on turn into one of these japanese super speed trains

[sterile shell]

I wish I had a wooden leg, and when you kick it you hear the meme sound of a metal pipe, but made of wood.

[regal gust]

i would rather have a slosh.

[sterile shell]

Yes... i hate this, i need that game in my library now T_T

[regal gust]

i need the third one.

[chrome current]

i love it, i was like talking to my gf a few says ago, which games we wait for most, and 2 days later... here, random demo of the top contender

[chrome current]

i sadly found out about the game a day after the playtest concluded

[sterile shell]

Same with my friend, he had no expectations until I recommended it to him and now he won't stop talking about the game and its possibilities xD

[regal gust]

a friend of mine wont touch it cause the ships have HP instead of the interactive damage similar to SoT

[hearty trellis]

who do i sell my soul too, to get the full/EA version of this amazing game 😛 To be real, do we have any idea when it will come to ea?

[regal gust]

no idea of when it comes out, but the rumors says anywhere from steam enxt fest til november this year.

[lone canopy]

hello fellow pirates 🙂

[short basalt]

That's a shame

[regal gust]

luckily i have a friend that play exclusive valheim he gave the demo a try and said this was better, so got one with me 😄

[tired zinc]

Same! This game is crazy good!

[sterile shell]

And I saw the Workers tab in Bonfire, I assume it will be like Conan Exiles and that could be cool to see a living village.

[chrome current]

here in germany we have a saying: Gut ding will weile haben.
Means basically: Good things come to those who wait

Literal translation is more like, good things need time, more or less

[sterile shell]

Yeah..

[regal gust]

that is also a proverb in english.

[sterile shell]

but i need now.. 🙄 xD

[regal gust]

it origins is french though.

[chrome current]

the game did take stuff from different survival games, not just valheim, and i do like it. While i didn't quit like valheim, even though i am a fan of norse mythology

[hearty trellis]

But its allready good and better then most of whats on the market, 😄

[raven dagger]

I played sot for a long time at a high level and am sick of my friends complaining the naval isn't interactive like sot 🤦 but love survival games, like get over sot and play a game for what it is not what it isnt

[sterile shell]

In Spanish says: yo lo quiero ya!
Means: I don't care what condition it's in, just give it to me now.

[icy rivet]

just finished the demo - Great game, Combat is good, ships are great - crafting/building is top tier - style is awesome - Cant wait for the full thing.

I noticed when boarding/finsihing boardings though the game freezes a bit at least in multiplayer - def little bit of tweaking there.

[chrome current]

yolo? i feel back in 2012

[sterile shell]

Yep jajaja

[spice coral]

hi all, loving the demo! demos are a rare thing these days lol.
Ive defeated the ship but on my discoveries it says i need to eliminate costal jungle threat to open foothills? Is that the end of the demo or am i missing something?

[hearty trellis]

The company behind windrose, are they from Germany ?

[sterile shell]

The whole feeling I had during boarding was wonderful, I love thinking that the Devs got tired of waiting for an AC Black Flag Remake and made their own game, which I love.

[regal gust]

the local threat is the boss, it is NOT in the demo.

[spice coral]

ah ok perfect. thank you 🙂

[hoary tendon]

Do we know if the Beta gets expanded, or is the Blackbeard ship the last mission?

[tall turtle]

Found the best build spot!

[rain flare]

Has anyone tested how much you can essentially manipulate islands yourself? Like how much can you dig it away or increase it with the shovel or create mountains and rivers

[surreal sierra]

The demo will continue as it is until EA drops or the Devs want to add more

[tall turtle]

You can but it's time consuming and a bit tedious

[green mica]

guys where do i find cole to smelt my copper?

[tall turtle]

Burn wood in a kiln to make coal

[green mica]

ohhh

damn i ran trough a bunch of dungeons and caves to find it :/
