yeah and then you just link to the pin
multi crew is a huge plus and to have friends in ships is great
I have been with it since 2012 ๐
i have more yrs on u lol 2014 for me for SC
NICE!!!! i sensed some of SC in Windrose just on the ships. its so nice having devs that know what we want
like we can run around our ships on deck, above deck its amazing
i love how pirate ships represents the drake interplanetary, like clipper, corsair, cutter.
Oh I'm pretty sure that wasn't their inspiration lol , But nice thought ๐
Its nice having devs know what they want compared to the average dev
yeah well we know Crusader Industries makes the best ships
yes
been with sc since like 2018 just waiting for it to have more to play it XD
intrepid FTW ๐
Star citizen sucks can even ride the train without falling threw with 1 bill on development
did you do the current event for the goodies? that was a fun grind lol
need better computer @pliant radish
i've finished all the quests besides the fixing the ship and these are the items i got. anyone got items for crit? these 2 sets gives one hand damage and range damage. i need the crit ones
I still have to do it!! was planning to tonight
breaks every other patch no been that way lol
What is the difference between the two kinds of cannonbals?
There are a lot of sets in the game. and a lot of other weapons, foods, recipes - even some we haven't seen in last Alpha.
so the servers are not open just private games?
one goes for sail, other is basic cannon
one pokes holes in ship - other pokes holes in sails
love windrose hate star cit dcs world way better
Again Mea!!!! Stop being in so many same games as me and not calling for an invite!!!!!
is there a specific way to get it here in demo? or is it a just a chance per crate? since i've finish all crates in the land
try SC lately?
the Windrose? you can invite or join up to 4 total on a server for now yes.
do we get to keep progress from demo to release
no
copy that
well free fly ended earlier today for SC ๐ but theres always next time i think in May ๐
yeah when the engineer patch come out game needs a wipe from eveyone having billions tbh
no you will not get the other items in the demo.
ah ok thanks, so maybe in the future will be public servers?
oh yeah true i think they did a ... wave...
Had a friend try the demo and he felt it was too resource gathering/building for his liking but I could see having just a "home base" on one island that you sail back to instead of building news ones everywhere
alright thanks. just wondering how others got the critical piece since i did not get a single one
i think its safe to say some of them cannot log in but i feel residual aUEC is still around
also have bells that you use for fast travel
Would it be possible to increase the player count from 4 in Alpha? I hate having to shuffle friends to play with due to the 4 player limit.
This is basically what I did. One major base and a bonefire and fast travel spot on the other islands.
ill sell my soul to davey jones for this game to come out next month
They stress tested 20 on internal test, the mod team did a smaller test. So numbers are possible. Due to stability issues and what not for demo it was set to 4. So we do not know what the numbers will be, neither do the dev's at this time once dedicated servers launch. Will have to wait and see. But yes there will be dedicated servers.
<==SC player here (Test is the dead give away) still sitting on 300 million after buying pretty much every ship in game lol already confirmed they wont do a full wipe with next patch but will knock out some of the big holders of AUEC
ok I like the building system so far!! โค๏ธ
I got a stress test of a little higher now ๐คซ
shhhhhh
will we be able to ride horses?
this right here will own me if so.
Sup how big is the team working on the game ?
shoulder mount parrots when ๐
me too ๐
sorry ive had wayy to much hopium
poor crab lol
To be honest that is another game system entirely, and would make traversal on the islands ridiculous. Not saying if enough ask that something might not get put in, but don't think that is on their radar. Remember these are not massive continents, It's a bunch of islands in the Caribbean or similar.
@granite oxide can i ask you do you know how many ppl are working on the game ?
50 plus at this time the plus being as needed.
OH SNAP
death to all crabs!
great game, is it possible to dig underground ?
The giant crab wasnt in the Alpha that was new
you can dig down as far as you can stay alive
you can dig down like in Valheim but not long cave tunnels like in Enshrouded.
alsot the talents tree wasnt in there, so thats awesome that we are getting an actual skill tree
Anyone have pictures or a list of confirmed ships coming to the game? I forget what all we'll be able to sail
any idea on the price of the game ?
I couldnt dig down through a hill all the way
are servers going to be personally hosted in the future? is in the person that created it has to be on in order to play on it?
like at a peak
i see that u cant dig with the green pickaxe
shovel too
can raise and lower ground - smooth it out
so i just had idea for absolute BEST way to die in the game and testing it right now
well didn't work let me try again
i bet i can make this perfect side of the island into port sarim
There will be dedicated servers after launch. Pretty sure you will still be able to just host a game yourself - but that will be instanced like it is now - you go offline , server goes down. Dedicated are the ones that stay up but what those will look like, we will have to wait until the officially announce it.
omg i got it to towrk time to share the funniest death yet
we stil dont have a release date ?
๐
it will be posted in #โannouncements when there is one
I hope we are able to build something akin to the Blushing Meremaid tavern in the future.
I also want to mod in jack sparrow run animation.
im i just stupid onwhere to put them so its looks inice ?
The Alpha allowed for some more fancy textures but nothing like this. the fancy benches you can make in the Demo lead me to believe we will get lavish creations like this
so much I want to mod in XD
man that would suck if it had hardcore mode.
as jokes of course
i mean... there could be bigger, story or quest related islands with dungeons and bosses on them. Though not continent large, i'll agree with you, but still probably much bigger than the islands we've seen in the demo so far.
I'm pretty sure you will be ecstatic like me with the building once you get full sets to play with lol
How do I move existing benches/buildings?
it supposed to spawn u right outside the camp if you logged out while in enemy camp but u can actually move while loading at last seconds of loading
Played on them in the Alpha - ๐ Some are much bigger - easily swallow all 3 islands in demo
short answer: you don't
long answer: Destroy them and rebuild them where you want to.
woof..ok ty
to be fair, there so far doesn't seem to be any resource loss when you break stuff down. So you can just destroy it and build it somewhere else.
correct
no it gives the items back , just rebuild
building a mountain home with my girlfriend, realizing I need more grotesque decorations... skeletons in cages? gallows? a jolly roger?
\
what we really need is skull candles
that would go hard indeed!
Will there be seasons, specifically, a Hurricane season? Other than animals, undead, and pirates, will there be environmental dangers that can damage structures and or make navigation hazardous?
or a 3 seashells decoration.
There are other biomes, other creatures/mobs, etc.
throw that in feedback! would love that as well
Not what I meant
will do! I have a ton of feedback for them, ranging from QoL updates, cool features... but I'm so busy just playing the demo haha!
you guys mounted your trophies yet?
if i eat bacon and eggs and spicy skwered crab at the same time, will the +5 str and +5 vit stack together and not cancel out?
no you can have them together
can have any food combination together just not exact same food twice
hahahaha ok I got ya ๐
where the hell did you go doc, i got your big ship ready so sail ahahah
bonfire - settle him back down
ohhhhh thanks man!
yup terrible movie lol I did comment to Dev's we needed out houses ๐
Having three of us in our ships is hilarious btw. So go ahead and let EA drop for me KK Ty ๐
I didn't think the movie was that bad from a comedy standpoint
but storyline wise it wasn't great.
from comedy no - Sandra Bullock was the one behind most of that
lol he got tricked into playing thatone hahaha
THey are both mega cheesy
the abc robot scene is pretty cool though
it's a rough classic for me
Well another one that was pretty cheesy and totally hysterical - Look up The Villain sometime and go watch that :)@spring nova
what builds are you guys working on? Putting picks in #๐จโcreative for us to see I hope?
tbf they are both old movies. However imo both of them have very valid social commentaries. similar to Idiocracy.
What's an ' active arsenal reserve'?
buff for ship I think
Great movie, Idiocracy! I would also recommend "Thanks for not smoking"
I was watching old pirate movies and titles over the Weekend like Morgan the pirate and Return to Treasure Island.
A streamer said a 'barrel of ammo' goes there, but I can't find that anywhere either.
Aww it cut off before he said "In fact this is the best burger I had in years."
Many items are not available in the demo
If fact most items are not in demo lol Just some of the basics you start with.
There's something in the wharf for arsenal reserves no?
So we dont have to make cannon balls?
you put materials into the wharf and then you get a buff I thought?
Not in the warf, no
The Arsenal Reserves seem to be crafted from tiered alcohols and milled wood. Neither of which can we make at present. ๐
no , don't have to make them
what does rum do??
this is a case were it should have been its own thing and not a adaptation of a ip
YOu drink it duh.
Yea, you have to actually click on the empty spot. Lol
What you mean?
I was playing with my friend, our server dropped and we can't open it again. Are we doing something wrong?
the issue is the wooden planks are not in the demo
ah yeah true
genuine scallywag pulled up on the shores of my island and blew my house to smithereens and plundered my booty ๐
I see that
How do I build a wharf??
Take a look at the 2 pinned messages at top of the general under ๐ May help you solve the issue
what are teh two differnt cannon ammo types?
Serious question, are we going to see the demo launch trailer shanty in a full release....
no don't worry. it's a known issue. try to both restart the game and verify integrity of game files. It sometimes just happens for some reason
Wharf
Why dont i have wharf unlocked?
Where windrose crew from???
look at the quest I linked above
probs didn't do the quests for it yet
What do I do if the doctor vanished?
one pokes holes in ship , one pokes holes in sails
The doctor no longer around my base.
havent used em yet but do i keep these in my inv or ships inv if/when i need to use em?
open bonfire and settle him
uh probably unlocks after you repaired the giant broken ship and rescued the crew members, and probably requires talking to the doc afterwards
i mean its not really a judge dread movie remove all references to judge dread and it basically stays the same
you talking about the demo trailer on steam being the trailer for Early Access as well? That what you asking?
Put them in your ship inv
Not the one with Drunken Sailor but the other one
Very top slots in ship inventory with the star symbol near the row is actually the ship's hotkey bar for 4 consumables. Put the ship repair stuff in that
Ive got the ship with the crew on it, I've talked to the doctor and still can't build a Whard.
There have been a bunch of trailers made- Have no clue honestly what their intention is for Early Access Release at this time. will have to wait and see,
No they are both sylvester stallone movies. I don't think there was any judge dredd references.
The Drunken Sailor one was made from a community pole awhile back.
There's 2 ship buildings that have to be built. I think one has to be placed before the other one is unlocked
I'm not asking for the game itself, but the song
wharf unlocks after crafting cannons
one of the ship buildings lets you craft ship parts (weapon, armor, etc) The other lets you do maintenance and access the ships you own and see their HP and etc. The one used for crafting has to be indoors, other has to be near the water
is the farming mechanic in the demo? got all these seeds and nothing to grow em with
No farming in demo
Seeds, and trade goods all you can dump out in the sea. Don't dump it near your bonfire range though
you'll be able to plant trees as well
and since we can't craft gunpowder either, can dump the ashes out there too
poor grandma :(
seems that anything you dump on ground inside bonfire range will never despawn
Sad we can't even make gunpowder
The shanty itself is simply called "Sail the raging sea"
Y'all got any info on that full release?
yeah it's tied to a boss that isn't in the demo, so it breaks some stuff if trying to unlock the recipe too early
Yea, not much comes up for searching..I was hoping for a longer version somewhere
I have not really known the origins of this song, but I found this song originally in the film Master and Commander, along with a different version (to me) of Spanish Ladies, the other being Hornblower!
One question I have regarding sailing... Is it actually more difficult to sail than the little boat that you get? Like, do points of sail matter? Can you sail directly into the wind or do you have to tack?
Sea Shanties Traditionally are not very long.
like maybe 2 minutes or so.
wind direction and intensity doesn't seem to do anything in demo.
has anybody else seen that the epic games store has Windrose listed as coming soon? Not saying that any means anything just thought it was interesting to see it listed
tiny boat sails at 10 , and big ship goes about 20-21 speed
Yea, 2mins, not barely 1
Yeah I saw the tree and bush seeds so its good to know those resources can be cultivated as well as some food items. It would also be nice to have a animal husbandry mechanic for some of the animals so big groups can stock up on basic foods fairly easily.
Thanks Asha. Hopefully that changes in EA or full release. I much prefer a little challenge to my sailing, and I especially do not like being able to just sail into the wind willy nilly.
Never buying anything from epic games or installing that crap ever again...
winds changing directions and intensity would certainly add some flavor to sailing
Yeah, and for ship combat, the wind is sooo critical.
It would but it would also make sailing prolonged distances excruciating in certain cases.
thats fine? just saw it listed on there and thought it was interesting since it says base game and not demo which has a separate listing
oh man i made a feedback but i forget to assign Interface tag ๐ฑ
You just tack periodically. It's really not a difficult thing to plan and execute.
yeah tbh it's a little immersion breaking when you are just tightly circling each other and you can easily take down enemy ships by launching broadsides to the backside of the enemy ship.
they mentioned recently they plan on making the wind have a larger impact on sailing
Im not sure the map size they are shooting for but with the limited amount of fast travel points you can place map traversal is almost just as important as the nuance of naval combat for player experience IMO.
A Roadmap will be announced after Early Access, so will get a better idea of what's already planned and coming then. But Animal husbandry would certainly add another fun element.
I do?
I'm honestly hoping for something more akin to a large chunk of the Caribbean. Give us some navigational tools and distant shores to find.
Nah not really
Gotcha, ty
Just being silly.
Sea of thieves had great sailing
Night all ๐
Sea of Thieves had okay sailing. You could sail directly into the wind without issue. Sailwind has great sailing, but no ship to ship combat.
Yeah at least on the map loading screen it does have A LOT of the Caribbean. Hope thats something that can be managed. Maybe even add in the Florida and Mexican costlines as a DLC somewhere down the track and hunt down some spanish and portugese galleons, and get into some scuffles with the British Royal Navy.
we can upgrade our ship parts?!?!?!
Yup up to lvl 8 it seems
i just found this out lmao
I just built my cannon and upgraded right away.. 17 hours in but I've been building a big harbor/dock and its taking forever lol
lol lemon chat reminds me of playtest discord
Huh?
talking about lemons in discord was everywhere during the playtest
I mean, I still make the same announcement every week, always on Wednesday
yeah but everyone else also talked or posted lemon related content in chat, was just saying it reminded me of those times as id forgotten
I know it's probably been said in this chat a lot, however, I have to express how impressed I am with this game and proud of everyone on their team who is involved with creating a game we thought was part of a dead genre. The only games that would even try this was skull and bones and sea of thieves and both were missing what we all loved about Black Flag. I can't wait to call out of work for this game which I havent done in years
I still talk about lemons all the time lol
needs a comeback lol
๐
Thanks to Tiddles of course
anyone else try to discover more of the map?
i mean over 50% of chat was lemons, i dont see that now
Why does the game keep freezing every now and then?
Tried but my map save won't let me lol
went to a new island but when I try to put down a fast travel bell I get message "coastline distance requirement not met" ??
Gotta be relative close to the coast
Move closer to the water
you have to be nest to the water
need to be right on the water line.
so apparently you discovered some trick to avoid the hidden death timer for traveling too far out
water close 
nope i used fast travel locations and alot of them lol
Day 3 of asking for EA
on your ketch?
you have about 1 minute until you die
no i placed them on the island you see in the lvl 3 area
but you used your ketch to get there?
but how do you get there in first place when it kills you before getting anywhere close
oh yes sorry lol
lol yeah the boat is too slow, but i would believe it with the biggin'
you have enough time to get to the island and place your first bell
are you able to explore it?
whats the island like
The kill boundary is based on distance so it's actually really lucky RNG on your end lol
i already tried head off in that direction but i always die before i see land
barren with no mobs on it. it does have trees and plants
its huge no?
there's a demo out rn
unless the timer is set to your frame rate or something i dont know about
ya i finished it
they've got an announcement in 2 more days. might be something to do with early access.
Read the message above the one I replied to
the boundry is on a 1 minute and like 5 second timer. its not based on distance
Hello PIRATES! If u play the demo are u able to take the progress with u when the game releases?
question can delete an object rather than just drop it and litter the beach
no
yes its a massive island with a big mountain
It definitely is because I can sit for like 5 mins with the warning on it as long as I turn back but my death markers always make a nice little border
thats odd ive always died to a timer.
Unless it's on both
so you saying u turned ur back to the area and it stopped ya from dying? Could this mean u could go in reverse towards the island lol?
could be haven't done much research into it. you just have to sail traight to the island crash on the beach and place your first bell
Idk man, I waisted all of Tiddles extra wood on the second island just fixing my ship post death and he had a chest full. I've also tried upping the tick speed which shouldn't actually effect a timer/event system in the same way but my death markers are always in the same tiny clustered area about half way to the islands
I'm sorry this is how you found out about your wood Tiddles
lmao if you want to check it out i can host it. 5b8df899 thats the invite code for the server
Will there be carracks and galleons on the Windrose when it's there? Besides ships of the line and frigates?๐ฎ
I'll have to take you up on that another time. I do really want to but my steam deck doesn't exactly run the game great lol
It's ok, tiddles had seen the secret build surprise. He knows I'm good for it
that sucks you need a PC lol.
I have one I'm just not on it right now
Anyone figure out where to find the wood walls schematic?
is there any estimated release date for the game? i know nothing is stone or whatever but anyone have any idea?
if anyone else wants to join in and check the island out there more than welcome to. i have bells everwhere
If I may Ask ... Please give us women creation that looks as good as Cover pictures. Thank you ... The OldGamer ๐ Oh ... Love the Game
Thereโs supposed to be a new trailer on the 25th. I hope it mentions EA
FYI the game runs perfectly on Linux though
all we know so far is that EA is planned for 2026
anyone having success with the #2 ammo in the ship fights? my first experiment was not so good, but probably captain skill.
I know
#2 ammo for the ship fights are for the sails
does damaging the sails slow them down ?
Indeed
I already Sank both ships in the Demo, didn't even #2 ammo .. But now I know. ๐ค
I love seeing the holes in the sails
and knowing is half the battle.
I'm at like legit 15 hours and haven't built the big ship still, just building and crafting - are there only 2 ships to fight?
its a demo.. so...
no for sure I just wasn't sure if they were like random spawns or assigned, you know?
there is random spawns
I didn't know this until recently, but if you press F while on your ship - gives you a different view - great when your navigating.
I'm at 30 hrs
Quest ship, transport ship, and a rare but powerful interceptor ship are the possible ships to run into
see! ended up not being such a dumb Q after all
Oh we comparing hours again,?
noooo
I've seen a pic of Blackbeard's warship so I assumed thats the interceptor-like ship?
fantastic, what a demo lol
Mines not just an hour, its a long hour.
the interceptor ship is a bigger standard big ship u got but more sails and more cannons lol likely more HP and armor too
gimme man of war ship!
More than that, im at 16 hours and just built big ship
I'm at 19 hours ATM
my guess is the interceptor ship is a tier 3 vessel hanging out near the tier 1 waters
it will come in sailing range randomly but a brief period
Downloaded the game, played through the storyline twice this weekend. I can't wait for early access!
i want an aircraft carrier
I shall refrain from exposing how little of a life I have lol
what is this life you speak of?
It's great that the demo stays until early access too, no rush 
and i want a modern day battleship that would shred pirate ship with one cannon shot
i have a job and being in college yet i have no life
technically there are no modern day battleships as all of them have been decommissioned.
and cannonballs probably would just bounce off the battlehsip's armor lol
No clue
That won't happen at all because a battleship'd sink a wooden ship from far away ๐
radar and all that.
I can stop at any time I want
i cracked a hundred as well yesterday. sadly i was busy the last days or it wouldve happened sooner haha
so never
the brick changes color from green to orange to red diffrent placecm what does it mean ?
It really does show how little life I have that I'm almost double that lol
yea i know the range of a battleship is quite extreme but if it didn't see the pirate ship as a threat it wouldn't bother with it. Bet its AA guns would be enough firepower lol
stability
Is that time from the demo alone or from Alpha?
oh is that something no ๐ฎ
nah just shows you have your own server..i have to wait for guard to be available haha. i dont wanna run around in an empty world when i have my buildings somewhere else :(
I hope they dribble some more content into the demo as we get closer to EA. T2 with another ship type would be nice.
just double checking, cannot upgrade copper ax/pickax?
Just get the world file from him!
That would be super cool
why? can't make gunpowder in the demo lol.
Although you could shoot the sulfur with ship cannons
because im a gun nutcase
blackbeard is my role model.. im going to carry 2-3 pistols, 2-3 muskons, and 2 muskets
then its the same but the other way around haha. unless we keep trading files but..i cant be asked to do that..
im cooked. the last time was hyped for a game, i sat and stared at my pc screen until it released a week later. help
It would be kinda fun if we had to manage cannon ammo and powder for the cannons, add a logistical challenge so you the longer you stay raiding at see before restocking the more dicey fights get.
Just have it sitting in a shared drive EZ
why making some gunpowder when you can hop games to kill some fresh pirates and loot gunpowders? ๐
How does loot work in multiplayer?
If I kill a boar do I get loot and the teammate gets loot?
I assume no
But what about chests?
Chests are individual
kills no but yes everyone gets loots out of chests
as far as I can tell loot is like valheim, first to touch gets - but chests* are unique to each co op player
except for the ship spoils
Even if I join the server after the chest is looted?
yes
Cool, thank you all.
Also do humans at prison camps respawn?
its still just so annoying to dooooooooooo
if you have done the quest then nope the sailors are freed forever and being in your ship ๐
Not the prisoners, the enemies
oh yes they respawned! ๐
Thank you!
why didnt you say pirates instead? ๐
Lazy cat gets no pie
Am dumb
sugar is not good for cats smh
Is there a boss in the demo? Because the discovery tab kind of makes it seem like there is one.
can i world build for you devs? ๐
this is what happens when you spend 10+ hours doing nothing but practicing landscaping lol
i feel like an idiot now that I got used to the sculpting tools more, esp flatten, wtf kind of magic is this?! ๐
anyway i want to see this game go forever and people should be able to build forever and explore forever!
how big is too big? ๐
The stingy Tiddles gets no lemons either
The boss isn't in the demo no
But good intuition
Does the demo have multiplayer?
Yes
yes you can host a world and give its name and password for your friends
Ayyyy. Ahoy mateys
I'm going to need you to make it bigger
Hey thank you for the reply!
No problem
dont think they are looking for any of this kinda stuff rn lol
guessing the coastal jungle biome going to be much larger as well in EA
do we know what biomes we will get in EA/game yet?
which may explain all the missing discoveries on the map when u see the numbers on bottom right
probably not but im having fun honing my craft ๐
still a lot of smoothing to do then im setting up the painting materials for brushes so i can REALLY make it pop
I killed the pirates around him...BUt can't free him
if you talked to them, they're "freed"
The cage is still closed and he says we have to kill the pirates around him...Is there no open animation?
Yeah, they just sit there till you get the boat
He is free, he just chooses to sit in the cage lol
and need to take his breath too!
Eren Yeager would hate him.
bro is depressed ๐
I thought he was perfectly content. Even asked if we had a brig aboard he could sleep in for comfort
my demo won't launch ;_;
Oh no! Do you know why?
no idea, I've tried everything
does it change when i get to long away from the bone fire or ?
Everything?
I've checked various forum threads and youtube videos for solutions, tried them all - nothing
Hmmm, no errors or anything when you launch?
uninstalling/reinstalling, verifying files, updating drivers and all sorts of programs, running as admin
I'll click on the Play button in my games library, and it'll act like it's getting ready to boot up the game for about 5 seconds before going back to nothing
what graphics card you got?
nvidia, geforce
what specs?
Anyone that could explann to me teh stabilty stuff, trying to build a port so
what is a level one station
im betting if you have anything lower than a 30 series it might not work as well
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti
yeah its more than likely your graphics card not being able to run it.
was there a recent update that raised the minimum?
because apparently this is a sudden thing, in the past week
dozens, if not hundreds of people are now unable to play the demo as a result
I've lost count of the number of threads & responses on the game's discussion forum
This game is amazing lol. Any estimates when early access will hit in the states?
1080 TI is the minimum
no idea if any of this changed recently
well poo, I was really looking forward to trying this
how are you still playing games with a 1050ti? lol
works for all the other games I play
Can I say this game/demo smashed it out of the park. Had so much fun playing and travelling. Do we have a release date yet?
must be nice to be able to play it...
It was like finishing a sick TV show season and googling the release date to continue
Tell me about it! Forgot the joy of tokyo drifting a brig for a broadside cannon barrage
Is the game expected to release this year?
well this is a newer game withought a huge company backing it so there will be issues with lower end GPUs since it takes alot of time to code it for those GPUs since software is updated to newer gen ones
yeah sadly that not a reason it should work for everything. the 1050ti is pretty dated at this point and its understandable if some games just cant run on it anymore. they are working on improving things, so it might work later down the line. its just not guaranteed
jeeze, it costs ~$400 to get a 1080
1050? maybe run 360p and use lossless scaling
go for a 30 series
they cant optimize for things that are 10+ years old. at some point one has to go with the times because things only go forward and up
yeah, and how long until a 1080 is obsolete like my 1050 is?
I love how much time they put into the game to perfect it similar to what a small dev did for manner lords. And taking into account comments from the public ๐
CAN I CRAFT GUNPOWDER?
No
hey can someone help me figure out what im missing ive been everywhere but have missig discoveries
didnt mean caps
Nope its found. Kill beach pirates
Treasure chest?
go with a 30 series if your on a buget but you will probably need new everyhting
Thats been driving me crazy too, dont think that level of crafting is in the demo unless i missed something
Boar head + crab shell
what? ive shot those plenty of times
Sadly, not in demo but I'd suggest you to make new world and hop around to kill pirates and loot chests for gunpowders
super fun game, the demo is great. My only "complaint" is that the animals do just an obscene amount of damage compared to pirates or drowned. And it is basically impossible to dodge or anything if there are 3 or more attacking at the same time. Especially those stupid charging boar ๐ very excited for this one to release though!!
just finished this demo OUTSTANDING
Guess I will be only building moving forward till release.
I'm curious why people say to make new worlds, it's not like pirate camps don't respawn?
need vr
Is there any kind of ETA for the early access?
that's easy, try savage boar, lol
I beat one by literally standing at the top of the ruins and shooting it with all of my bullets. I refused to even try to fight one "fairly" hahaha
how do i get those each crab just gives crab meat
My husband and I have grand plans of terraforming an entire island with shovels to see if we can get it below sea level ๐คฃ
Someone should start a kickstarter for a PvP MMO pirate game
pick up enough crabs and it'll drop for you
You'll get it eventually, just keep nicking them
they do in new worlds as well as chests ๐
its just rare
already exists, called "skull and bones"....
Digging for Atlantis might be a key. See if we can strike gold.
Isnt thak kinda sea of thieves already? Or are you looking for a mkre RPG experience?
Skull in bones does not have proper ship combat, treasure hunting, island exploration, or boarding
so imma run circles aroudn scanning the beach for crabs a while then huh
I am beyond happy that it is PVE and not PVP. I am honestly just sick of everything being PVP.
saaaaame
Sea of Thieves is old and shallow on content. There is no true open world piracy game thatโs more extensive than a 2010 era game
you will see soon why its a little more..complicated than it seems..we tried to get rid of an island. it has an undiggable surface at some point :(
And I love sea of thieves. But it makes people Google looking for a new pirate game with more to it
What are you smoking? S&B has excellent ship combat if you like AC Black Flag
sea of teefs if anymore people grief any small and empty boats
It's a little dissapointing that u cant craft gunpowder.
Can you board?
Does anyone know if there is a way to throw stuff away?
sadly..yeeeeeah. could be the next, could also be 100 crabs
throw it in a pile and dig under it. goes poof
You can in next update. and even fence and shoot ppl.
Ngl I had to stop playing sea of thieves for the sake of my anxiety ๐คฃ
rip they are pretty uncommon to come across too
Thank you!
the ocean hungers. you can also drop it and dig under it it should poof away i think
only almost 2 years late
Put it in your Inventory, exit to main menu, start a new world, drop it on the ground, go to main menu, delete that world
Think pvp could be fun specially the combat and or pirate ships but their will be required a lvl cap for this. Or an area where pvp can happen outside pve. Cant have a lvl1 fighting a lvl 60 for example lol
LOL
You can board the enemy right now but not actually walk on their ship yet.This game has been Superb for 2 years.
Just put the PvE ppl on their own peaceful servers if they donโt want to play pirate
well got that now missing the local threat and one other resource
PVP will NOT be included in EA at this time. It's not off the table for the future but not in the immediate future.
I think Rust has this option, right? I would totally be okay with that
Yea I saw that. I cried extensively and passed out
its player hosted servers anyways so why have a pvp area? just make it a server toggle lol
For me Graphics is above Everythign else. Story is maybe third
Agree. Just give people the option. Itโs not like itโs not built into the game structure right? Itโs gotta be
lol at this point pvp is on the same level as religion and politics of things the stir stuff up
For me graphics and the open ability to craft and explore plus boss fights ect. Dont wanna play sims nor do I want to play cod haha
I am so glad that we have ship boarding in this demo. Unlike ONE GAME that i know. ship boarding is a must and i am happy that we get to experience it.
id say gameplay is first, then the vibe and graphics is 3rd.
cant have a turd in ultra RTX 4k on 160fps xD
Ye well in a pirate gameโฆ lol
Do you only get to fight the one ship in the Demo? ๐
what game
No there is multiple
Skull and Bones.
there are ships wandering around out there
no way?! just sail around more?
they get rowdier than a ship full of drunken sailors
Watch out for the interceptor ๐
Awesome thank you ๐
Yep just dont go outside the boundary of the map demo lol dont do as I do, learn from it haha
Shout out to one of my favorite features: a Sea Shanty button
Seen a danger warning and thought I see land. I got this. Reality I ain't got sheit.
what happen? is it flat earth like valheim
Y'all behaving in here?
Reminded me of ac Valhalla
be have? what's that?
Absolutely not ๐ซก
Where you get honey from right?
we do..like pirate do ๐
Never read a book that a pirate behaved or used manners:p
no idea what honey is. I prefer vinegar myself.
You're a pirate, you ever even read a book?
Is a map a book?
They were called "privateers". but basically same thing but with manners when required.
No
i gotta say, i havent had this much fun in a game in a WHILE
yes, a picturebook.
Best adlib in all of Harry Potter XD
Then no i have not!! Haha ๐ค
that's not a book, it's a scroll. doesn't count
Is that cup for me?
The building experience in this game is 11/10. the best Iโve seen in a game yet. Itโs like the best parts of Minecraft and Once Human
The current COD is trash at best.
you should play satisfactory then. Or valheim.
Would be nice to make a roof out of wood and or tile rather than ๐
yar of course matey
Noted.
All games that have instant respawn camps someone can camp is sheit.
Another one I need to play is Norse: Oath of Blood. Heard nothing but great things about that one
But I love risk of rain 2 end game
Mannor lords is sick. Been loving that from solo dev.
valheim has many issues that do not get addressed modless. expected more from it and all i got back was "with this mod it good" but that just tells me people love the mods more than the game lmao
I should play more of a new demo I heard about, another sick and awesome new pirate game, supposed to be a survival craft too, apparently it's called Windrose
does anybody know the respawn time for mobs and copper?
that perfectly describes Minecraft
copper is 2hrs
what stat is best for cutting trees or does it not effect it to hit it one less time?
Hard hit the trees, stone, ores and get your axe and pick upgraded. You can one hit those basturds
valheim and minecraft have the core thats sooo goood but they almost do nothing with it lol. i am extremely thankful for the games that they inspired tho.
I love Valheim and play Vanilla. I also am loving Windrose!
at some places perhaps but at least the game brings things to the table as is that do not feel like an ad to nexusmods lmao
I just don't have friends to no life vanilla Valheim with lol
^^ I get one day of play of V with my friends before they feck oof to something else
Yeah well, now I just play Windrose instead
tbh most of my fondest memory's from minecraft come from moded
YOU CAN HEAVY ATTACK RESOURCES???
anyone else find the demo very gpu intensive?
you never asked smh
Yes but turning settings down including upscaling to like 40% helped me
being against mods would be like saying we want our game to fail
middle mouse wheel click
Yes you can! Love to swipe at cooper ores with a heavy attack to hit many ores at once!
just finished the demo, i liked it,
Minecraft isn't an ad for mods?? Lol
Not quite, but I get the point you're making
I DID ASK! I ASKED IF YOU HAD IT AND YOU SAID YOU DID VUT DIDN'T WANT TO PLAY IT
SMH trying to gaslight me
I have had this wishlisted since the day it hit steam, and as a dev myself...EXCELLENT WORK. I forsee myself no-lifing for a while just with the building mechanics alone
the store is not a gameplay element xD
you can refill lanterns at the workstation
Oh my god I literally have 20 hours into the demo and never thought to try heavy attacking to harvest, I'm Big Mad now lol
mods could be cool for sure
Oh yeah, check my join date for the server ๐
Neither is valheim lol
can do the same for mobs
the modding communities often blow up and stretch games and their communities along also
and that wasnt the point either
look at every aviation community ๐
literally the only mod I would care about is like Sons of the Forest where you can carry waaaay more stuff per slot. Like 999 clay per slot instead of just 50, etc...
Your point wasn't valheim needs mods? My bad
I just joined the discord today, as I dont normally "do" game discords, but, I want to keep up on this one because the day it is ready for purchase...TAKE MY MONEY
theyre not against it but adding mods NOW when the game is not even out yet would be stupid to do lol. its just not priority and rightfully so
yeah lets wait until completion first haha, it may be chaotic ๐
Every time I think I've squeezed every last drop from the demo I learn something else I have to go back in and try, the full game is gonna get me for 100+ hours on launch easy
my point was the glaze of it. i gave it a few chances as is and i did not find what people loved about it. asking about it mostly gave me an ad to mods BY THE PEOPLE
Hehe, I just like flexing I was here super early, like, maybe even one of the last remaining og alpha players lol
I missed out on the alpha, was still working on a private project
I never did look to see why it was renamed from Crosswinds either
Oh no I mean the first alpha, back when this game was so jank I got to see that they had the same placeholder assets I use lol
Major change in direction ment a warranted change in name
asking if i have it is different than asking if i want to play it. you didnt ask me to play it with ya, dingus
Thats fair, and I think I remember seeing something about this game at like christmas time 2024? pretty much all of 2025 I was doing my own dev work so I rarely, if ever, even opened steam
If you say you don't want to play something I'm not going to then instantly ask if you want to play it, I already have the answer!
Name change was wild the whole time I was like wasnโt this named crosswind. But also I coulda swore they originally let you play up to the first boss wonder why they dropped that from this demo
The only "mod" I'd want for the demo is unlimited resources to experiment with base building without the grind/inventory shuffle
Had such a blast today playing with my wife as we each sailed our ships in some epic 2v2 sea battles
Now imagine my confusion seeing the game go through 3 names lol
Wait what it was something before crosswind lol
Not publicly
if you know more about the game. i am willing to give it another shot. i have 30 hours in it so far, gave it two chances. one very early on and the other a little later. if you lead the way, maybe i can finally see whats so fantastic about it lol
yeah, a sandbox/creative option for offline would be fantastic. Have community build contests or something
how to get co-op to work? me and friend just started, but it just kicks me to main menu any time i try to join atm.
Not me looking for a fourth island I may possibly be able to make it to >.>
I know nothing about it other than I suck and sailing is bad
Check the pins for some workarounds
madly inlove with this game, i cant believe this is just a demo. This is everything I've ever wanted from a pirate themed survival game and more! I cannot wait for the full release!
trying to find info on the internet it keeps saying i have to unlock Co-op first, but i cannot verify it.
No you don't have to unlock it. Just make sure to check the messages pinned in chat. They have some good fix tips
Do you tho?
need to specifically be a boar and not the smaller ones? less boars spawn at a time
i cant see well but i can!
sows count or no?
To be honest I am not sure if you can get it from the sows or not. But I am fairly certain the Boar and it's two variants can all drop it.
sailing is a little jank right now yeah, but I figure with the level of detail and thought I have already seen put in, that will be addressed too
You also get the boar's head trophy as a reward for the "kill 20 boars" achievement, sows and boars count for it
But you need a boar head to actually build the trophy
That was directed at Valheim not Windrose
Guys plss help me I can't join with my friend
That's what we're talking about
valheim is just jank all around. its like they got their millions and just...stopped giving AF...lol
oh my bad idk, I got 3 of them already without really trying lol
Theyre still adding content
me liking both valheim and windrose rn 
You think I've played 600+ hours of this across 3 completely different versions and still don't have an ego about how good I am, I'm like a bird showing off all them feathers
I don't dislike Valheim I've just never gotten into it
password was the issue.. dont know if it is case sensitive and that was doing it, but i was able to finally join her without a password active
same here..it doesnt make it easy to get into for some reason
I am so jelous of your playtime XD
I only really really liked the building in Valheim, I played some of the newer content but it didnt have the same "feel" to it as when the game initially released. Less time/effort in the newer stuff felt like
I love building in valheim, its awesome 
i like it too but i haaaate the tiny building area thoooo
i found the building to be way too restrictive. a tiny area that needs 50 workbenches aint doing it for me xD (in valheim*)
I keep thinking I need to play more but also that I should be capable of actually touching grass XD
im not trying to put the two games against eachother
but I like the building materials in valheim alot. I havent built to much in windrose yet but it wasnt a this vs that thing
do we have a release date and also how long is the demo for
there is grass ingame wtf more do ya waaaant man
I have already learned that you can place more bonfires and if you do it just right you can actually connect the build areas eith each other for massive builds
The demo is available until early access
That is listed as
I am praying and hoping that the announcement on the 25th is EA and I dont have to wait several months to continue my journey. Fingers mega crossed!
the area is also fairly big
all fine, we arent either. just an exchange of opinion if you will xD
Do they share ownership or do they still pull from separate inventories?
will we keep progression
different inventories
Sadly no
damn, would be awesome if you could merge bases/bonfires
no worries this game looks promising.. super excited
I do enjoy the larger area, but I also like to build massive forts and full on towns, and with the way the building is here...100% gonna happen
and as long as you have stuff in your inventory you can at least build everywhere in WR
I put a bonfire on top of a max height tower in an attempt at a lighthouse but the light doesn't cast far enough to actually be useful from a ship lol, it does still function as a bonfire all the way up there though
maybe there will be an expansion/territory option with the bonfires to upgrade them and get a bit more space, something liek that
Like the start of this one?
is there a reason, why it is a bonfire and not a blackflag?^^
how long can I play for?
sorta, yeah. once I get a bit farther long I'll grab some walkthrough. Right now I am wanting to explore some more so I can find my "perfect spot" before I build big stuff
Damn that lot of stone
probably because Teach is here and he is the owner of the Black Flag.
just starting out but its taking shape
There is no time limit on the demo
I have an allowance of 76,000 done left, need some?
did the challange but its still unknown in other resources
I wish there was a "drafting mode" for building where you can do a complete building in "green mode" and save it, filling it in one piece at a time as you get resources. Even better if you could save your blueprints and import/export/share with friends.
Thanks!
well in the pirate era, all had black flags, just with different jolly rogers
a bonfire is more obvious as a little flag ^^
someone has also played the Dynasty games, I see lol
I have not, but it's such a good idea I'm not surprised someone has done it already ๐
I think it's because of how the place will feel more like a town later on with the hirelings that it's supposed to feel more like an early beginning
they are worth looking in to as well. They are very slow games tho, so you gotta like taking your time with stuff lol
didnt work it seems i still have the missign other resource after challenge
boar head
The actual head needs to be naturally dropped for you still as well and it's sadly a really low drop rate
I've had my eye on it, it just seems like such a Commitment lol
also for the library ||travelers note we can only fild the first of 7 right?||
Nope. Make sure to actually read the note
i did that ||and found the spot and dug it up||
they are, especially if you want full completion. I am one away from full cheeve, and its 100% a waiting game lol
Ha ha, well if you authorize me do do another port like that on your second island why not
By the way I got the 200 yellows
keep farming boars, they spawn in potato patches so you need those anyways. I built a fast travel dock by each one so I can do a quick loop, and the big mean boars at the ruins on the 2nd island dropped multiple heads for me
Pics?
i dont have more ammo i dont want to fight those charging boars again without
man these boars suck.
Woah. Where did you find such a strange magical land?
I feel that, upgrade the musket and get up on a wall lol. I put fast travel docks by each of the 4 pirate camps so I can farm gunpowder easily
Look out the window
I don't see any, it's just all snow and buildings
its all fake
esp these charging ones if you timed poorly! Twacked!
That makes more sense
Thats what the unemployed want you to think
Hang on... am I playing this demo right?
If any of you need something to do while waiting for early access and haven't watched Black Sails I highly recommend it
You used the halberd as a scythe, didn't you ๐
Windrose : Easter Island
just trying to corner the lumber and fiber market before the game launches
too bad you cant take it with you
It would be so sick if the devs add hurricanes that completely flatten everything but stone structures, just a landscape of glittering loot
or just play satisfactory/valheim lol
how on earth does the ship work? I have the cannons installed.. It shows a 1 and 2 function
1 is solid shot (damages hull), 2 is chain shot which damages sails
left and right mouse button
pressing either does nothing. Then there's this N / I bar thing at the top that doesn't really don't do anything associated with the k
1 is for damage on the enemy ship hull. 2 is for sails, makes it so they cant move much
Do you have to like.. lock on or something? cause nothing fires when I'm helming it
those show your front/left/right cannons and load/ready status
we gonna have grape shot next for dealing with the enemy crew like pirates of the carribean online had?
how do you know which cannons are going to fire?
look in the direction u wanna shoot and hold right mouse button to aim. left mouse button to fire
Anyone miss Pirates of the Burning Sea?
they're smart cannons, whichever is facing the enemy fires
oh interesting... thanks!
Nope, hated it.
Oh ... as an old lady, I did enjoy the management of the ports
you're nowhere close being an old lady! ๐
yeah port management was interesting. I forgot about that. hated everything else. although tbf my expectation of a good pirate game was set by seadogs/sid myer pirates and age of pirates II so I guess I'm older than you lol
This game is great! Can't wait for the next bit of content!
Sid Meyer! I played it so I'm offiically an old fart!
I just didnt start with games like that... I started with mmos, Yserbius, DSO, EQ, UO..
Sid Meier's Pirates! is the gold standard by which I will forever judge every pirate game lol
my brothers were into the Sid Meyers
After Age of Pirates II forgotten city + Gentlemen of Fortune mod stopped working (wasn't supported for windows 10 and struggled with windows 7), I couldn't scratch that pirate itch for over a decade. closest thing that got to it was Black flag. but no I don't view it as a pirate game. It was an EXCELLENT pirate THEMED Assassin's creed game though.
How does that effect monkey islands rating?
peak game
I assume you tried Skull and Bones, the supposed Black Flag 2?
been a while since I have seen someone mention EQ lol
Curse of Monkey Island is the Peak pirate game, you're right
nah skipped i mean fr 80 dollar ubislop game
oh I still enjoy the odd TLP too
But now THIS game.... it scratched that itch and made it itch WORSE!
I tried it with my ubisoft script.. glad I didnt buy
I played the beta. Refused to give Ubisoft my money. They choked HARD and blew it.
there was an old consol pirates game I used to love.. canot remember it now.. Maybe had the name plunder in it.. I just remember sailing around the caribbean in my pixellated ship and it had some cool 1v1 duel mechanics
Ubisoft? i call them Ubifail
now ubislop has put out an nft game its been out a week just waitign for valve to notice and remove it
I could never get it to work on Windows 10/11. How does it work for you? I see you have28 hours in it lol
idk what to tell you it just works. also more than half those hours was back on windows 7. man i miss windows 7
Age of Pirates II: Forgotten Cities with the Gentlemen of Fortune mod was peak pirate gaming for me. the models and additional ship classes the mod added was AMAZING
Upgunning a corvette and running circles around frigates chipping away at sails and crew before boarding, then selling for massive profit was FUN. and challenging
I miss XP. It has been, by far, the superior windows OS since 3.1.
98 was better than XP by far until it became stable after Security update 2. then it finally beat 98
yeah got it back in 2016 so windows 7 was still a lot more supported
OMG OMG OMG!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mqvlqliav98

whens the game come out?
I tried Linux again last winter, haven't booted into Windows in over a year now. I can finally live without it and not miss anything
found all this hype
who knows they put out the demo less than a month ago
i just downloaded and played it today
preorder when? lol
Can i create dedicated server
ooo blunderbuss AND fishing, interesting!
Demo will run until Early Access and is ruffly only about 5% of what will be in Early Access, but explore able area of Archipelago is only about 2.5% of what will be in Early Access. Early Access will be announced in #โannouncements when it is time. As far as price and packages, that will most likely follow Early Access Release info. there will be other ships, just not in the demo - some of them are large.
I run all my servers on Linux, and I prefer it but right now I CBA to reform my personal machine
love fishing when its done well in games like webfishing or stardew not just like minecraft where its just wait afk or something
Have a dedicated server
Not at this time. That might change after EA we don't know.
@native jewel right now the chatter is that EA is planned for release sometime in 2026
No idea what quarter they are shooting for?
a buddy and i are gonna try this out tmr
@fast orchid we were two to do it for the last 85
Just let me have a fully customizable fleet of Galleons and Schooner's like how Atlas has it and I'll be good. Never buy another pirate game, ever.
A question.. if you play a coop game with your friend.. can you both board a blackbeard's ship at once?
because when i tried to board while she was already on their ship. I got a gray button saying the ship has been boarded
Aight. Hmu tomorrow and you got yourself a finished quest
why cant i use the sawhorse?
It's an upgrade for the workbench. Use the workbench
it upgrades the workbench to Level2 .. it is just an addon
anyone know if demo progress is gonna carry over into Early Access?
ohhhh
That hasn't been shared to my knowledge.
Thanks guys
It will not. it's only 5% of game content anyways
yea i dont mind starting over, it of just been nice if it did
u sure about that? noy something to copy over?
Yes it's been confirmed by mods and devs that demo progress will not carry over to EA
when fighting an enemy ship, is there a point i can board to fight the pirates without them constantly respawing?
just keep killing them.. you will win eventually
No it's been confirmed that it won't be compatible sadly
without sinking the ship?
Is there any hope that the devs have early access build ready and just released the demo to test the waters and build hype? Because they should strike while the iron is hot if so.
I will be out for work until the 10 of march, I will see if my friend can pick up the Insignia
It always sinks the ship in the Demo .. no idea if that will stay with EA or Release
No they have a lot of work to do before the game is ready for EA according to them and their vision.
i can shoot the ship to sink it, just wondering if i can kill all the pirates without sinking it
I Believe you get more loot if you board and win than just outright sinking .. not that the loot matters in Demo
Its so funny yet probably realistic that our character/pirates can't swim well
i will test to confirm...
Argh, better they wait til they're ready but damn I'm hungry for more lol. I've got my fingers crossed for the possibility of more content appearing in the demo at least
When release it?
EA is planned for release sometime in 2026. that is all we know
i do believe they said the demo will be playable right up to EA release tho?
I heard in the next couple of months if scheduled right
Demo will run until Early Access and is ruffly only about 5% of what will be in Early Access, but explore able area of Archipelago is only about 2.5% of what will be in Early Access. Early Access will be announced in #โannouncements when it is time. As far as price and packages, that will most likely follow Early Access Release info. there will be other ships, just not in the demo - some of them are large.
that is speculation, not from devs or mods. but we can hope!
well this was said by one of the mods/crew, I don't have the reference in this chat but it was a bit
tomorrow 25th february its IGN Fest with new Trailer!
The Game is amazing i spent like 3-4 hours playing the Demo and now im done with it
I haven't seen it repeated by mods or devs but never know!
Hello everyone!
Do we know who sang the sea shanties?
The Windrose demo has certainly raised the bar for what a proper demo should be and achieve, can't remember the last time a demo gave such a generous slice of a game
well considering how the Demo is working like a full release, and has no bugs or issues.
we could get it pretty soon. I know there is some issues with online/open world servers, they had issues with 20-30 people in one server
But ships, npcs, etc are pretty well finished. maybe just a few polishing
it kind of has to be, given that the devs said they're aiming at a Q4 full release
That target means that either they are considering an extremely short EA (which makes it far less useful), or else EA has to start soonish
Hope we can 25.02 a release date from Windrose! ๐
they actually have a number of bugs they know they are working on. and they have more content that we don't have access to
Sean Dagher
Well yeah, EA would be the unfinished part, ye would still be updating, fixed and everything
Oh, the same guy who did the Black Flag sea shanties? That's so cool.
u know its gonna be absolute peak
If anyone knows, can you tell me if it's possible to hide the HUD? or is there a photo mode?
Only bug I have found so far is I will sometimes blackscreen leaving a mine. Other than that its been supa-clean
krakens, more sea shanties and deeper crating and exploration and improved combat and this game will be insane
somerimes it lags when moving something in ur inventory
Yeah, that could also be the purpose on a EA is that despite some things still being buggy, unfinished or needing fixed, we can see the progress of polishing it
are they planning on making pvp servers?
How much the game gonna cost on full release
Chances of that are... probably unlikely...
no, they scrapped pvp afaia
scrapped for now or completly
I do hope they make more interactive crew stations on the ships so you can man one ship with multiple players.
completely from what i read
if tis popular enough maybe they can allow mods or have a way for people to set it up
why? xD
One helm, three on cannons, maybe one as lookout to be able to predict an enemy ship's movement
focus on the main game experience for now
why would they? theres plenty of pvp pirate games already
I don't think windrose had the time to start the marketing yet as they are still working on the game
in a way its drawing their attention
it's confirmed PVP will not be in EA but it's not completely off the table. Right now PVE is much easier to develop and work toward EA.
nothing more fun then the thrill of hunting children while riding a boar as a pirate until they cry?
just make a good game and the players will market it, it's a new world out here
im fine with that pvp can be hard to do. main game should be priority
I actually think it's highly likely ๐
Perfrect time to capitalize on the massive hype, and announcing a date for EA start doesn't mean it has to be a date from next week, could well be a date in May or June...
There was an update for the game pushed to steam 16 hours ago. This isn't the demo, but the actual game listing from steamdb. Hmmmmm............
pvp means nothign if the game is boring
I hope that you can still do a Co-op game and not have anyone else in there. I HATE pvp.
God, please no enforced PvP. Sea of Thieves could be so great without it, but nooope.
what does that mean? ea maybe?
I also think they wouldn't announce straight after announcing the Demo.
The game development towards EA is focused 100% on PVE and co-op
exactly
Maybe, or it could be something they are using for internal playtesting, etc.
It would put too much pressure on the team. they are only a small studio, and not a huge one.
so they should announce the game when comfortable
yeah I'd let it cook for a month tbh
That is my thought .. They very well could also have community alpha testers under NDA
nah, we'd know
There's enough to do in the demo to keep you busy until release, and if you got 3 decent friends you can probably do all sorts of malarkey if you wanted in co-op
It's been confirmed they do not have a current alpha running at this time.
hey hey people
they may well be comfortable with announcing a date on the 25th ๐
the closed alpha last year already had a ton of content functional, so agreat deal of work had already been done by that point...
Alpha tests have taken place in the past, also โAlphaโ is what tests are called before they reach a beta stage lol, so it would be more of an insiders thing
HOLY CRAP, they nailed it. this is the game. your gonna have everyone cracking out fiending until it drops. WIN for the devs!
I'm just repeating what the mods confirmed here. they already completed 2 alpha testing and stated there isn't a current alpha in progress at this time. They could have an internal playtest, sure. but if so it isn't available to us
They just released the demo. they were comfortable enough to even give us a chance to play a little bit.
most likely that the game will be announced later within the mid-term or smth
Aye, donโt worry I understood, just wanted to re-affirm ๐โโ๏ธ
I remember quite a few content creators having access to it, so itโs definitely gone through the paces already
It's a "charlie" test lol
its more than likely just a live dev set.
I'm stoked for the story, getting to Tortuga, learning how the faction system works, the worker system, seeing how deep they're gonna go with this.
Well majority of those creators played it in the alpha 5-6 months ago.
TmarTn2 had the whole experience
I feel you! I would lvoe to be part of another alpha, beta, or EA. but at the same time I want the devs to cook as long as they need because they have something AMAZING!
I asked one of the devs last night how they felt about the massive blow-up in positive response to the demo and they said on the 1 hand they were excited and blown away but on the other hand they were stressed to the max and felt like "deer in headlights"
I would like to see faction raids.
or base raids from NPCs
Yeah, I had access to that as well.
^^^Same. I need someone to chop my wood and go get to gathering so I can build my Cutthroat Island @distant nova
Take my money....
guys who wants to see real sailing
we need trees to be regenarable, so I don't run out of trees lol
Definitely, I have been thoroughly enjoying even just the Beta on its own; so the fact that there is more just absolutely does nothing but excite me to jump into the full experience once it comes out!
Over the years there have just been so many bad โpirateโ games made by both AAA and indie alike and this is pretty much the first one for awhile since SOT that actually has a full experience
sadly not in the demo. I believe they plan to have farming available in EA (worked in Alpha).
or farmeable
just make a new world. You can take wood from there into your own world
ACTUALLY you know what Windrose needs?
Mortars. Thes big fat Mortars,
legit a mrbeast thumbnail
They will be farmable. We did that in the previous playtest
No thanks! want that, go play skull and bones
however, I cannot continue my builds on a new world tho :v
you take the wood back into you own world.
Don't trees regenerate if you leave the stump?
you bring the wood back with you
trees do not regenerate
VOC?
GEKOLONISEERD๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ณ๐ฑ๐ณ๐ฑ๐ณ๐ฑ๐ณ๐ฑ๐ณ๐ฑ๐ณ๐ฑ
no, trees do not regrow
you retain the inventory between worlds, (even your ships cargo is retained)
Have you played or seen Aska? That game looks the closest to what I've been picturing with workers and intelligent NPCs
Finaly someone commented on it ๐ (im from DK though)
How do I install cannons on my ship?
what? you can transfer materials into different games?
I do not think this will be like Aska .. which is a great game.
your character and the world are 2 different saves
L.
i'm a dutch sailor
really??? I didn't know that...
yep
i just love the history of V.O.C.
boy my head looked much smaller in character creation
why not? why not Mortars?
they were a very useful defence weapon against ships
not on ships i mean
Ooh it's on sale again, looks like I have something to do until Windward hits EA ๐
free character changes just logout and alter
Conan had that...with mods it was fully "whip cracker" mode about resources...Only reason I have as many hours in that game as I do is because of the building system...I want to build cities....
I hate blender and a few other modelling programs, but I can code you some pretty fantastic mechanics to use those models lol
what part? waging war and killing people.for a profit? or do you mean robbing people.of their freedom and enslaving them because their skin is darker than yours?
i made a Katt Williams pirate for comedy. great timing
a little bit of both. it read as a cautious tale of what humanity is when they are allowed to go unrestricted.
how to communicate in game?
lots of jumping ... use morse code
this is not something you should love
not available in game at this time sadly. Feel free to add it as a suggestion: https://discordapp.com/channels/1260209458924224542/1473402278986645574
lol
i dont think you understood me then.
the multiplayer of Windrose is going to be like in Vellheim and Enshruded and Vrising? multiplayer only with close friends u invite to the server?
yes
or open to the public or secured with a password . up to you
thanks
The lack of chat is the one thing that is really lacking with the demo. The singleplayer experiance of the demo is great, coop still needs some work
so use discord to talk to each other
i haven't used ingame chatting option in any games since i discovered teamspeak.
you don't have to "love" something to learn interesting facts from it
but they do need ingame text chat atleast.
Yah .. isnt a big deal. It will get there. I am curious if they will bother making integrated voice or not.
in game voice is a waste of dev resources until the game gets some legs
"Discovered" Teamspeak... I feel so old...
Oh you just had to bring that green flower of doom into play, huh?
UH OH...ffffwip
Feel freed to add to my feedback: https://discordapp.com/channels/1260209458924224542/1473402278986645574
yeah well the first time you see something you discover it, it was kinda dificult to discover it before 2001
some of us are very old.
reminisces about a time before the internet even existed
teamspeak? am out here using morse code
speak for yourself lol
As I like to say, growing old is mandatory. Growing up, however, is optional.
I used to "not feel this old"...and then time, gravity, and life in general catches up with you.
oh look at you mister worldwide, can't live with signal flags?
smoke signals, get on my level
You guys don't train carrier pigeons?
pigeons aren't invented yet.
bruh, people still use pigeons for that. Not many, but they still do
Damn, foiled by my failed authenticity
