i'm actually glad their isn't, i don't need EVERY game to be PVP and a lot of games i've wanted to play, i avoid cause there are only PVP servers. If they make PVP servers optional eventually, cool, but i just wanna enjoy myself without other people ruining it for me lol

Sea of Thieve's main uniqueness is that you do actually DO all the stuff in the game. Repair every hole, fire every cannonball and shot, fry every fish. It's not all menu-based, which you don't get a lot in games

Way I see things. They wanna focus on the PvE part as it draws way more attention as demo has already. They likely will later then maaaybe add in the PvP stuff while trying to separate its balance from PvE only parts though that just what I assuming after seeing their dev posts. The "PVE pipline" so to speak, needs to not get destroyed by PvP balance ^^

oh i suck at building and she hates hunting/gathering which i enjoy mostly. its a nice compromise

Speaking of, I'm actually on the fence about this one, I love the idea of them using some swivel cannons or extra stuff as well as even main cannons as an option, but I'm actually disliking the idea of one of my friend sitting AFK on it causing the side to be innert, hence why I personally think an extra set of side cannons like swivels or something just for the use of a co-op player or someone not at the helm would be much nicer lol

Look up Anne Bonny "operated in the Caribbean during the early 18th-century "Golden Age of Piracy". She was an Irish-born woman who joined "Calico Jack" Rackham's crew in 1718, becoming known for her ferocity, skill in battle, and for dressing in men's clothes alongside fellow female pirate Mary"

just ask an LLM about women pirates and pirate captains. lots to be learned 😉

Ching Shih: A Chinese pirate who commanded the largest pirate fleet in history (over 300 ships and 20,000–40,000 pirates) in the early 1800s

Quick question, im too afraid to die and check it out, but do you keep your weapons/armor upon dying (or something else)

or does your entire inventory go into the grave?

So this is really interesting.

According to the data I have collected... When you ascend the Reliable Musket and its Precision Rating changes from A to S, it gets a bonus to headshot damage from that rank up, but it's body shot damage is unchanged.

And this is with character stats zeroed and no perks.

Demo will run until Early Access and is roughly 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 #│announcements 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.

The lines were "under the tree" but it's not actually under the tree. It's near the tree underground a bit

#

Under the tree would or could mean it was directly underneath its base trunk

#

but as we found out quickly, u can't dig under the trunk itself and maybe ppl gave up there

yea that why i mean by a "bit misleading" it's "around the tree" lol

#

it's semi accurate, but it should say "burried around the tree"

anyways this argument can go on forever so im leave it as that

I still think it should be "burried around the tree" for bit more clarity but as you know, the note is very long so ppl won't read it all well average person who is rushing anyways

#

off topic what seems to be weapon of choice club Rapier or Saber

tidal aspen
#

Club probably the worst of all the weapons

open ingot
honest plover
#

Nope .. Can't find it anywhere || yes I know where it is ||

tidal aspen
#

Halberd is definitely a better club to me lol

open ingot
abstract aspen
velvet beacon
raven dagger
#

i normally use rapier in games but its a little too op with bleeds so switched

tidal aspen
#

the club is slow, and the halberd is only slightly slower but has way more dmg and "range" basically superior weapon in every possible regard i think

tidal aspen
#

Rapier on other hand is low dmg weapon but there's unique rapier with bleed and makes it significantly better to open up with

honest plover

#

when u can't parry, you evade basically

#

What we need is a dedicated server with 40+ players

it's a wide sweep swing with halberd

open ingot

#

does the game have a Basket sword?

tender stratus
tidal aspen
#

the best parrying weapon is the rapier or that other sword that gives u more window to parry. You have way more reaction time with the swords since their animation is faster

#

Give me a 8 barreled blunderbuss and I’ll be a happy man

tidal aspen
#

The rapier actaully does more parry damage to enemy's "shields"

fading dagger
#

havent seen halberd yet but guessing same speed as shovel ?

tidal aspen
#

The bleed rapier will instantly knock out a crab's "shields" that stun it, while saber on other hand needs a 2nd parry

So just now really getting to play the demo and I have a question. I did see this demo will stay up until early access goes live, what are the changes or should I say additions that will be made from the demo to the early access? Like I know a bunch of bug fixes and balancing stuff, but in terms of content is there going to be a big jump?

Idk i just progressed to the point of getting my first real ship and can outfit it with stuff, and my plan was just to stop there and then wait for the early access, but where as the game started slow and was kind of boring, this just got a bit cooler and it seems pretty fleshed out for an early access beta let alone an alpha demo and I just wonder how much more is going to be added. I will still probably just stop since my progression (understandably) won't transfer

tidal aspen
#

How many cannons
"Yes"
Understood, adding more cannons

#

my gif finder aint loading so no funni gifs to put with that

tidal dawn
#

what does the stove and pot do?? I put it near the bonfire and still doesnt let me use it"? or is it just a passive buff type thing

tender stratus

vestal cypress

#

demo is only 5% of actual game content and 2.5% of the map. so...you decide on the jump its gonna have at full release 🤷

solemn horizon
#

So everyone has been saying Valheim or Enshrouded but pirates, and before the demo that is what I have been saying and that is what it looked like, but trying it, at least in the early game, it feels less like valheim or enshrouded and more like conan, which is honestly disappointing. Like I know it started that it was going be a bigger scale more pvp focused game than what it is, and it feels like that from a basic game loop perspective. I don't know how to articulate this from a game loop or balancing way the difference between something like a conan and something like an enshrouded, even in just resource gathering, but I am hoping as they balance things and change things through the alpha and the early access beta that it will feel more like a co-op game rather than what you would refer to conan as.

I know I am in the minority with that because I see the great reviews this demo is getting on steam. And I am truly enjoying this game, it isn't like this is a negative review or anything, the conan like feeling just took me by surprise is all I guess.

I will say for an alpha demo it is crazy how well it is optimized. I can have things pretty high graphically speaking while rocking a 3060ti and 16gb of ram and I am getting like 50-60 fps, and when I put everything to medium I can almost get triple digit frame rates, that Is flipping insanely good for an alpha! Has me excited to see how much smoother it is going to get!

can we destroy weapons and armor we make?

Also I see some builds have smooth stone foundations that seem pretty early on in the game, and I don't see anything than the more rough texture basic stone block. Am I missing something or have I just not progressed far enough?

Oh, also trees showing regrowth in realtime is cool and I can't think of another game offhand that does that. I'm sure there is, but I'm blanking on that

Trees regrow?

apparently they do

lofty minnow

Yup, seems to take a while but if you leave the stumps they start regrowing

Ah okay. I'll experiment

Example between a fresh cut tree and one I did a bit ago

would like to see if they give you multiple pistols like black flag

I've read of people felling everything and no regrowth. Likely was stumps gone, I'm guessing.

lofty minnow

Yeah if you kill the stump that's it as far as I can tell

tender stratus

One thing I would like to see when it come to armor is like stolen Spanish stuff

Leaving stumps to regrow somehow has become a constant throughout survival games, even if it isn't a part of the game lol

Please, devs, stay PVE solo/optional coop.
Don't fall back into the glittering, shallow trap of PvP live service.
Don't undo the glorious creation you have.

You are onto a winner here!

Thank you so much, I have been waiting years for a game like this.

The FAQ channel says this is the way for the time being. 🙂

I believe if they do add PVP in future it will be optional, as their focus is not on it

After the closed alpha last year, the devs realised their original design (MMO-like, opt-in PVP zones and a PVE main game) was too ambitious, that's why they changed the name from Crosswind to Windrose and refocused on just the PVE main game

The dodos are always a hack and slash because one of the azure ones snuck up on me the first time I got to the third island just as I was gonna place a bell and it killed me....so they all die instantly regardless.
