Take what Valheim does, and make it better

[fossil zephyr]

I love the Survival-Lite mechanics, as I call them, and I love that ship combat is clearly inspired by Assassin's Creed Black Flag and such

[olive sentinel]

Imagine creating a game with 0 mechanics or ideas that's never been used in ANY game ever made till now...
Pretty damn hard lol

Saying a re-skin is just a dumb example lol

[raven dagger]

[fossil zephyr]

Just don't use any Nintendo mechanics 🤣

[magic moth]

how do i share quests with my friend. just started, he joined my world, and our quests are out of sync. do we join a party or something

[olive sentinel]

Incoming lawsuit lol

[elder folio]

is the coop working? we try it the hole time - but bothing happend

[modest marsh]

believe there is a setting in the world settings

[olive sentinel]

If someone does quests before the other, they won't just auto complete to catch up, as you have to do quests for XP

[zenith portal]

Far too many games try to create something new and it just fails, it's very hard to create something new. Valhiem mechanics aren't new either, but simply improvements on existing mechanics, that when combined together, create a unique experience

[olive sentinel]

if the box is checked, and you're on the same quests, it will be shared

[olive sentinel]

@fast orchid

[zenith portal]

MODSSS

[olive sentinel]

Didn't mean to reply lol

[modest marsh]

I did not know this, good to know

[cold coyote]

How does one park at a dock/pier without the ship being threatened to be sunk upon loading in?

[fast orchid]

Gottem

[olive sentinel]

Ty

[zenith portal]

very slowly

[olive sentinel]

Whoever is ahead in quests just needs to wait for the other to catch up.
Also need to make sure the box is checked before creating the world for "Shared Co-op quests"

[zenith portal]

It's just a bug, but 20 wood to fix isn't the end of the world

[cold coyote]

Also, do I need to craft ammo for cannons? Or is ammo for pistols only?

[zenith portal]

Only pistols which is just great

[vernal basin]

latter- ships shots are infinite

[cold coyote]

Coo Coo

[peak walrus]

With no set in stone release date, and comments made by team. This one isn't setting sale most likely till end of summer at earliest. If it was ready, announcing would say so, and they would want to hit that May through summer surge of players release date. Hoping hype won't die down. A progressional approach to release like conan exiles would be awesome. 8 islands, content, then slowly "open up" more of map, lore, islands, story, game. Then possibly pvp elements for those that want them after that.. so much to do, and so much room to grow with this concept and style.

[zenith portal]

For the amount of cannon shots I miss, if I had to craft ship ammo, my god

[peak walrus]

Im sure Cannon ammo is coming 😉

[olive sentinel]

No PvP in EA

[fossil zephyr]

This game doesn't need PvP at all

[candid oak]

how do I use a world save file

[olive sentinel]

Maybe down the road in a long time

[fossil zephyr]

Not every game needs PvP

[vernal basin]

trailer has shown the same ammo as we have now. maybe there will be more at some point with bigger ships

[raven dagger]

Hype is over hyped

[olive sentinel]

Also have this from Benjamin
"there won't be any PvP-oriented features for Early Access. I'm 100% sure about that."

[fossil zephyr]

I want the Devs to take another year if they have to. I'm genuinely excited for this game. First time I've actually been excited for a game in over a decade

[zenith portal]

I mean there is Costal Jungle, Foothills & Cursed Swamps for EA. I don't know how many islands in total but maybe 20?

[plain sinew]

I mean, they said about 10x the amount of islands for full release. Also, current ETA on early release is Q4 2026.

[fast orchid]

Ok, so I did it! I finally dug deep into the pits of davy jones locker and finally found the release date

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1466460594860327098/1476348383395446835/Soon.gif

[olive sentinel]

I expect 5 months or longer for EA release

[visual parrot]

Yeah this like the top thing that is in the pinned section so it was easier to reference .

[fossil zephyr]

How about just no PvP at all

[olive sentinel]

No one reads pins anyway xD

[zenith portal]

That is the plan so far.

[fossil zephyr]

PvP players need to be reminded that they aren't the only gamers

[visual parrot]

kind of why I pasted it here LOL

[plain sinew]

Eh, i’d like to be able to duel my buddies under a “Duel Challenge” or an optional setting to allow for it.

[hoary swallow]

I love this demo.

[fossil zephyr]

Play Hellish Quart.

[olive sentinel]

Maybe in the future

[spark terrace]

Technically, from what I've read, you can use your ships cannons to destroy your buddy's base. That's at least some level of PvP.

[plain sinew]

Nah, Devo

[gentle kraken]

are we still getting the free spyglass for EA when it comes out?

[fossil zephyr]

The combat in this game would be terrible for PvP anyway lol

[olive sentinel]

I assume so since it's on the steam page (If you play the demo)

[near knoll]

friendly fire requires PvP 🙂

[visual parrot]

I will be playing solo or with a group of friends that don't pvp. So what do I care if pvp is in the game or not 🙂

[plain sinew]

If you grew up with the old PotC games, including the one for Wii, you can see how it can work.

[fossil zephyr]

But also if you want PvP Pirates just go play Sea of Thieves or any of the other Pirate games that have PvP

[zenith portal]

Focus on getting the core game right and then they can look at PVP

[plain sinew]

Even PotCO had a clunky pvp system that still worked, also hell no. Lastly, don’t tell me what to do.

[fast orchid]

The official stance on pvp: #💬│windrose-chat message

[fossil zephyr]

PvP should be the last thing on their list

[olive sentinel]

God I miss Pirates of the Caribbean Online, and ToonTown

[plain sinew]

There is the Legends of Pirates Online (a PotCO revival) which was decent.

[gentle kraken]

the point of a co-op game is to cooperate, not kill each other...

[plain sinew]

Helldivers is a co-op game. The stats would say otherwise.

[cloud crane]

Cooperate in killing others 🤣

[peak walrus]

Having pvp ability on a paper only server setup is good for player base, content ideas etc.. drives revenue as well

[olive sentinel]

We all have different opinions on video games, That's why there's so many options. They've given a stance on PvP so there's literally 0 point to argue about it

[gentle kraken]

friendly fire is not the same as pvp imo

[vernal basin]

https://tenor.com/view/edouard-roger-vasselin-fabrice-martin-friendly-fire-ouch-tennis-gif-24377213

[zenith portal]

I loved the waypoint system, the god rays shining down where you need to go

[plain sinew]

I’d still want to be able to use T to lock onto my allies for a duel.

[plain sinew]

I could remake the ruins from Dead Man’s Chest and fight across support beams and crumbling walls.

[stark tiger]

@plain sinew I love that name good sir!!

[plain sinew]

Plus, dueling friends could provide some training for encounters with stronger enemies.

[deep mountain]

Are they any American severs or codes that have a big group of people

[raven dagger]

Doesn't work like that

[plain sinew]

Current cap is 4, I think.

[fossil zephyr]

This guy gonna waste all his time talking about why PvP should be in the game for the devs to not want to implement that for the long running

[olive sentinel]

This was just so epic back in the day xD

[deep mountain]

@raven dagger why?

[raven dagger]

Start a game and invite up to 3 people or vice versa

[fossil zephyr]

How about we wish for them to actually get the game to EA in a good state before we demand features they aren't even planning on

[deep mountain]

dam

[olive sentinel]

It's not server based, you host world. When you go offline, world closes

[weak wraith]

Imagine though, instanced PvP. You could que up and do like 10v10 pirate skirmishes in curated maps.

[plain sinew]

I loved using the grenades and siege bombs.

[soft token]

My homies are all waiting til launch to play, when you play with others can you all ride on the same boat? (Not the little one but the actual big ship)

[deep mountain]

thats what i was excited for being a pirate

[zenith portal]

Was great fun, many hours sinked into this when I was younger

[narrow sentinel]

pirate cod

[fossil zephyr]

Or just play Holdfast Coastal servers

[raven dagger]

Can imagine all you want or hope, facts are pvp isn't a thing in ea

[subtle blade]

The nostalgia...

[fossil zephyr]

And EA is likely to last years

[soft token]

Oh I’m sure there will be a pvp mode that’s instanced at some point at least. If they don’t do it I bet they’ll allow us to set them up or people will find a way to do it without being given the tools.

[raven dagger]

Doubtful but never know

[olive sentinel]

ToonTown was way better though Imo

[fossil zephyr]

This is an ambitious game, I don't see them getting to "1.0" quickly

[long relic]

This game doesn't seem like the pvp type. Feels more like a coop survival game

[zenith portal]

This button in the key mapping certainly has me curious

[weak wraith]

Is your ingame pirate name Captain Obvious?

[raven dagger]

They do 🤷

[echo garnet]

I am drooling, starving for Early Access like a sea hound. Spicy Dodos doesn't satisfy me anymore.

[fossil zephyr]

Because it is 😭

[idle sundial]

Sounds like "Beat your friends to fear your enemies"

[fossil zephyr]

Whose "they"? This Dev team has never released a game before

[long relic]

which is what im saying

[raven dagger]

Dude im not the one repeatedly asking for pvp in a game that doesn't have it lol chill out

[zenith portal]

Those enemies were nightmare fuel

[soft token]

It really was. Granted I went back a lil while ago and the ship combat got really.. idk the proper word for it but ship combat against end game enemies got way to repetitive and just boring after a while and it takes ages to grind to the max boat so your stuck doing it for ages lol
Definitely a product of its time. Still goated though.

[fossil zephyr]

https://tenor.com/view/old-man-gif-4679601

[raven dagger]

Ok so I guess you have and must be right 😂

[soft token]

Good ol toon town

[fossil zephyr]

Most games that rush to 1.0 are cheeks

[long relic]

dunno why everyone wants a pvp game, i just wanna sail around and yar har fiddle dee dee myself into the horizon

[olive sentinel]

They don't make them like they used to anymore lmao

[fossil zephyr]

We don't want them rushing to 1.0

[raven dagger]

Cool story bro

[urban mica]

Thank you devs for the release date letter, keep up the good work. I am incredibly stoked to play what's in store for us.

[narrow sentinel]

[olive sentinel]

[soft token]

Yeah I don’t want this to be a PvP game. An optional side PvP mode sure but I don’t want it to be what dictates the balance of things. Should just be an optional side PvP thing people can interact with but has no bearing on the main game. (In time)

[weak wraith]

I just hope they don't release EA and then Valheim us. 1 update every 6 years.

[idle sundial]

The most funny part in it that it's easy to implement: just enable FF on a server

[long relic]

dont see why they couldn't do pvp private servers lmao

[urban mica]

I agree, Im tired of almost all pirate games being pvp related.

[long relic]

but to force pvp into the base game when it clearly isn't built for it just seems weird

[soft token]

Completely agree with both of you

[olive sentinel]

I've never played Valheim still, this game makes me think of Grounded or Palworld

[timid crescent]

It's quite a lot more than that my guy

[fossil zephyr]

For ages people have been begging for a game that's, in some ways, similar to Black Flag. Or at least brings back that magic. Now the casuals wanna force PvP into it 😭

[long relic]

this is pirate valheim and i love it

[fast orchid]

Can I have some

[narrow sentinel]

Its blue glowing ghost repelant

[fast orchid]

Trust me I really wish it were that easy but last time it was like that it broke the game

[narrow sentinel]

Gotta keep up my immune system

[raven dagger]

I dont care what it is pvp or pve or how long it takes, dont care if its hyped or loses hype ill be playing tf out of it

[soft token]

Also big same

[tranquil wigeon]

في عرب؟

[ashen dragon]

Was hoping for a release date but would’ve been a bit too good to be true, had a blast on the demo. You guys really cooked here, I’ll wait patiently for what you have planned for EA. It will 100% be worth the wait

[fast orchid]

Then the faster we drink it the sooner we get your ship in the game lol

[weak wraith]

To be fair, I don't think anyone here wants the game to be PURE PVP. PvE needs to be 100% first. I think we can just imagine how much fun some PvP would be with the ship combat and the current gear/stat system for our characters.

[fossil zephyr]

Luckily the devs have already stated that PvP isn't on the radar and only a possibility it's implemented on full release. So we're wasting time talking about it tbh

[brisk lantern]

Is there a way to change character appearance after the tutorial?

[fossil zephyr]

Yes you can Edit your character at the Main Menu

[tranquil wigeon]

؟

[narrow sentinel]

This is a bi hourly convo since they announced the change

[fossil zephyr]

I imagine it's the people who've picked it up during Nextfest here

[brisk lantern]

No please not another sea of thieves of begging you. I just wanna change my appearance

[soft token]

I got no issues waiting however long for a release date. Woulda been cool to get one but clearly taking time and working on things instead of jumping to early access has shown to be the right call. I’d be willing to wager it’s smart to apply that same logic for the demo going forward.

[fast orchid]

https://tenor.com/view/sigh-le-sad-cat-gif-16777715376630435814

[brisk lantern]

Thank you❣️

[fossil zephyr]

For real PvP killed that game for me and basically everyone I know

[visual parrot]

Dune tried to do a forced pvp thing and ending up back peddling and taking it out for the most part.

[mossy nebula]

I finished the demo and had subtitles but I only have 3 islands, is that normal or are there more to discover?

[soft token]

Tbh that’s the only reason I mention it, cause that’s the only way I see PvP coming in. After full launch and as a secondary thing seperate from the main game mode.

[cloud crane]

Release dates inevitably get pushed back anyway.

[green wigeon]

bruh the WILL demo is barely half an hour

[olive sentinel]

only 3 in demo

[long relic]

people are always gonna find a reason to complain. regardless of how great a product you offer, someone will have an issue with it. every single time.

the devs have made a stellar example of what their game is, and if the full release even matches what the demo has put out it'll be a fantastic game

[timid crescent]

Yeah because there was no option for PVE

[soft token]

This to a T.

[raven dagger]

Dont want to pvp? Dont buy games with pvp in it 🤷

[green wigeon]

pve sucks anyway

[olive sentinel]

https://giphy.com/gifs/fallontonight-tonightshow-ice-t-icet-6hzcLwqQ7AH4fPNR59

[abstract aspen]

one exists and there will be at least ONE person that hates you for it

[jade portal]

can i buy in pre order?)

[soft token]

That’s why people want this game to stay pve, so they have a good pve pirate game option.

[visual parrot]

If only we could 🙁

[soft token]

No. They did supporter packages a while ago but currently there is no pre order (the supporter package period also ended a while ago though so that’s not an option either)

[fossil zephyr]

Two games I'm looking forward to the most:

Kingmakers and Windrose

Kingmakers devs decided to axe their initial release date and have not planned on another. Best for the team to keep working on making the game to their best of their abilities.

You only get one chance to release a game.

If you fumble the release, the game basically dies.

[weak wraith]

Doesn't sea of thieves have a completely different server structure? I can't remember.

[raven dagger]

Im for pve but if pvp comes into it then ill reassess but games like sot and dune that tell you beforehand....can't see why you complain about pvp after buying it is all

[zenith latch]

This implies you are not doing an EA

[jade portal]

copy, thank you

[silver obsidian]

Is there play testing?

[soft token]

I’m… cautiously optimistic for kingmakers. One of those “seems too good to be true” kinda gems. But only time will tell 🙂

[jade portal]

do we know when is release dates?

[fossil zephyr]

You can list release dates on Steam, and that release date is Early Access

[placid condor]

how do i refill a lantern?

[soft token]

Happy to help 🙂

[fossil zephyr]

It doesn't have to be the Full Release date

[soft token]

Yeah I completely agree man

[brisk lantern]

I remember my first ship boarding also , not pleasant

[green wigeon]

i ainr gonna buy the game if its gonna be forced pvp

[fossil zephyr]

Which is why I'm glad they delayed their release, EA or not. Like I said, you only get one chance to release that game you're making!

[shrewd kite]

hi all

[brisk lantern]

It was funny but i knew that wasnt the game for me

[violet jolt]

how do i get this off guys ? its on everything now lol even when pc has been turne on off

[visual parrot]

Well to be fare they advertised dune as pvp optional game. Though once people learned the end game resources were in a pvp area. They felt that pvp was forced and were lied to. Which lead to dune placing the end game resources in pve areas.

[fossil zephyr]

NVIDIA. Press LALT + R

[soft token]

It’s like arc raiders. I know it’s a bit different cause it’s both but we see the same thing there.
Everyone knows it’s both PvP and pve yet people on both sides complain about it being one or the other. Like.. ya’ll knew it was both and you’re complaining that it’s both? Make it make sense lol

[violet jolt]

ty !!!!

[soft token]

Exactly man! Can’t afford to fumble it. 90% of games even with insane turnarounds don’t pull a comeback like no man’s sky did

[fossil zephyr]

Yeah games like No Man's Sky and Cyberpunk are massive exceptions to that rule

[zenith latch]

I think people focus too hard on their expectations and as such we've seen developers pull back on principle.

• A demo provides hype at typically free of cost
• An early access is a game still in development providing early access for funding and you get the game at a cheaper rate with the expectation the game has bugs / QoL improvements needed as it isn't a polished game
• A full release is a polished game with edge case bugs or no bugs at all and all QoL is finalized (unless live access game which creates different parametere)

But people expect a polished / finalized game as the early access game (which we see in reviews and the hate the devs get for EA) and therefore they've bled to being the same thing. Which in turn resulted in a lot of devs treating EA like a polished version of the game.

[soft token]

Very true.

[brisk furnace]

Has there been any word on if servers will stay upon full release? any benefit to build large structures or beef up on storage?

[weak wraith]

game will wipe

[visual parrot]

demo will end when early access starts

[brisk furnace]

ty ty

[raven dagger]

This!!

[opal sentinel]

what is EA? everytime i read it i think of electronic arts but that cant be right

[tidal aspen]

Not mine, but imagine playing windrose with that monitor on left

[spring hatch]

I dont expect a polished game at EA, unless I'm a narcissist. I just saw they had a much more playable version months ago that I am not able to play right now and that is what I'd like to spend my time playing. These three islands are so small now that I command the high seas!

[abstract aspen]

[green wigeon]

omg i bought onion-bacon crisps and it actually tastes like onion-bacon

[zenith latch]

I blame us the community for our sore representation of how a game is provided to us. We should be expecting the following and not hating on EA as much as we do:

• Demo: A polished intro to a game that people play to see the full possibility, minimal bugs, full QoL within it.
• Early Access: The full game with all the developments TO DATE, with the expectation of paying lower rates at the trade off that you get bugs, missing QoL (people with EA should not be talking bad about a game just reporting bugs / recommendations)
• Feature Release: The full game with all final developments at full price for game (this should be when ratings are allowed to kick in on Steam and other services)

[ebon latch]

Not mine, but imagine playing windrose with this monitor

[weak wraith]

How he reads it.

[opal sentinel]

who wouldve thought? 🤣

[abstract aspen]

hahahaha got me there

[frozen echo]

ngl thought that was a drive thru menu for a sec

[spring hatch]

This is so 1994

[green wigeon]

normally crap never tastes like what it says it tastes like

[green wigeon]

what the hell

[zenith latch]

That's a first, anything "flavored" usually tastes like chemical

[subtle blade]

True. And generally anything that is said to smell like some element of nature only smells like chemicals. 🤭

[green wigeon]

ypu mean like syntethics

[zenith latch]

Did they put onion and bacon shavings on it?

[timid crescent]

1994? Maybe 2006

[green wigeon]

do u not know what crisps are my man

[zenith latch]

I guess now adays we can just smash anything into a powder so you could cook bacon and onions and just powder them

[olive sentinel]

This is 1994 lol

[spring hatch]

Well, yeah, I forgot flat screens didn't come out til later. My bad. I saw a square and it took me back to 1994

[green wigeon]

eh yeah youd just make a broth and let all the wayer evapote and boom you got powder

[timid crescent]

yeah you skipped a decade or two

[zenith latch]

Depends on where you are at. In alot of European countries crisps are the same as US chips. While chips are the same as fries

[regal oasis]

"Fish and Fries" is way cooler that "Fish and Chips" so

[zenith latch]

🤣

[timid crescent]

then why do they still call it fish n chips on the menus in the US?

[zenith latch]

But do you fry the fish or fish with fry?

[olive sentinel]

I can't wait to just Fish in game while my friends loot everything xD

[zenith latch]

If you fry the fish you get delicious fish. If you fish with fry you might get catfish.

But if you fish with chips you get nothing.

If you chip the fish you get questioned on your cooking

[stiff sluice]

Heyooo

[wintry raft]

Honestly. Getting a firm release date is better than getting an estimated release date that can change. With the fires ive seen when a release date gets pushed, its a pretty safe decision

[zenith latch]

And that is the story of why you have fish with chips and not fish with fry

[subtle blade]

I am not getting Wildcard vibes from this team, I think we can rest at ease.

[zenith latch]

Shhh, we are avoiding discussing the release date and discusing fish and chips vs fish with fry. It's better for the community

[normal tapir]

I just want to say since finishing the demo I have little drive to play any game, its been years since I have needed a game like this.... I cant stop thinking about how long I have wanted this exact game and not only me but also all my friends! I am so excited for the release and had to put it somewhere because im having withdraws now that the demo is done

[devout surge]

no EA date mannnnnn other these other games are stale bread i needs it

[subtle blade]

This is a rare kind of hype.

[stiff sluice]

The games art style is so good.

[wintry raft]

Crap your right. Change subject! Uuhhh so the fish and chips I have here are terrible compared to authentic fish and chips qq

[normal tapir]

I yearn for the high seas with the boys so bad

[narrow sentinel]

I haven't been this excited for a game since 2017 when skull and bones was first announced (emphasis on first announced that og trailer was amazing)

[tawny plover]

its aesthetically enough to just chill on ^~^ now we just need the content

[zenith latch]

When you get on the high seas are you going to have chips or crisps?

[abstract aspen]

same. ive tried fish and chips here and i was not a fan..terrible. not even the chips are decent. i was so disappointed lol

[wintry raft]

Imagine if they actually listened to us qq

[olive sentinel]

We're just consumers waiting for the product lol

[somber saffron]

can i play with my friend we cant join

[olive sentinel]

Did you set a password?

[somber saffron]

do we have too

[olive sentinel]

No, but sometimes setting one makes it not work is why

[somber saffron]

ok we will try to

[olive sentinel]

You can try these tips #💬│windrose-chat message

[wintry raft]

Its sad that a 20 year old game "seadogs" is leagues better than skull and bones

[narrow sentinel]

Indie studio's demo somehow made ships look better and feel better than a quadruple A game focused solely on ships

[subtle blade]

It's not sad. It is admirable.

[opal owl]

how do I time travel to when the actual game is released?

[olive sentinel]

I had to look up what that was

[indigo grail]

Will it be possible to rent servers or only play coop with 4 friends in the future?

[split fossil]

Whats sad is that they already had a solid game to work on that they already made, AC4 Black Sails was a fantastic game, wonderful blueprint and they still messed up

[olive sentinel]

You can alrdy for co-op with 3 other friends. We don't know how servers will work yet fully

[opal owl]

you will be able to do both...and host your own servers

[gilded ocean]

Played demo with friends, cool game, but can we manage one ship in release ? For now its like each can only upgrade and manage own ship

[mystic swift]

guiys

[zenith latch]

A dev at one point did mention they stress tested up to 20 people on it but they are not sure how likely a big server is. The current expectation is 4 player co-op

[mystic swift]

when this demo end and when does game come out?

[somber saffron]

@olive sentinel we set one without password still get this

[olive sentinel]

#💬│windrose-chat message
Try these

[indigo grail]

More than 4 also?

[olive sentinel]

All that's worked for me is the password fix, anything else I wouldn't know tbh

[gilded ocean]

for coop missing feel like you crew on one ship, becouse one guy move ship and fight, and u just waiting

[olive sentinel]

"It has been confirmed that there are advanced options of possible things to do on the ship with friends"

That's about all we know so far

[zenith latch]

Each get their own ship and be an armada 😛

[gilded ocean]

yea) but so so, for me its a bit break immersion

[wintry raft]

Can't wait to play poker in the captains quarters with my besties

[somber saffron]

ty it work

[olive sentinel]

I do hope we get a quarters so we can have ale while sailing a stormy sea with friends

Yeah, I think it would be hard to have two different game concepts. You either go Sea of Theaves with ship and a crew or you go AC:BF or Skull & Bones and have a ship per person

[shrewd arch]

Be prepared for Kraken 👀

[zenith latch]

If you get both that definitely would mean we should keep it PvE. PvP would become a nightmare with both game concepts mixed together

[gilded ocean]

to play with own ships for each player fine

[noble hornet]

They never announced price on release did they?

[gloomy kayak]

anyone find the item im missing or the boss of the area

[mystic swift]

when this demo end and when does game come out?

[olive sentinel]

When Early Access is released
We don't know date yet

[spark terrace]

Boss isn't in demo, last item is a crab shell.

[sleek tartan]

im assuming is sulfur

[shrewd arch]

iron Sulfur

[indigo grail]

Would love to have the option for serverowners to disable fasttravel or atleast limit it.

[visual parrot]

iron & sulfur are not in the game. Sure you can get sulfur if you mine it with ship cannons, but it doesn't unlock anything or have any uses.

[heavy hazel]

Look at the news channel

[gilded ocean]

option to repair and shoot on one ship for more players will be great addition + ability if each player take ship on his own depends of situation

[olive sentinel]

It would be fun to climb into a Crows Nest and scout for friends on a ship

[gilded ocean]

its already by pressing F but anyway )

[half wadi]

is the playtest over?

[lone elk]

THIS! I put that in the survey about wanting a crows nest to look out on!

[olive sentinel]

There's a demo on steam, no playtest

[gilded ocean]

oh maybe scout like detect ships or so

[half wadi]

I downloaded it but there is no Windrose.exe file and it errors

[green wigeon]

bc the US simply isnt cool

[green wigeon]

well do you have a friend named fry

[olive sentinel]

It would really help for a Ping in that sense also

[mystic swift]

so that news chyannel told me nothing about when the demo ends.

[olive sentinel]

I answered you already
When Early Access is released
We don't know date yet

[green wigeon]

its up until EA

[mystic swift]

👍

[gilded ocean]

id like feel that i cant manage another player ship a bit off

[copper scroll]

Question - Where can I make gun powder?

[olive sentinel]

https://tenor.com/view/thats-the-neat-part-you-dont-invincible-gif-27194608

[gilded ocean]

and we all just do owns and play a bit like separate

[mystic swift]

yeah the bulletsd don 't work for the guns, muist be a bnug

[visual parrot]

can't have to loot it

[sweet perch]

so 2028 EA then when x10 resource and islands added.

[olive sentinel]

You need gunpowder for them.
These are old guns

[copper scroll]

Cool. Thanks

[olive sentinel]

My guess is summer, so around 5 months or so

[half wadi]

ok figured it out I was trying to launch playtest and never installed demo

[rough wraith]

I know it is a demo, but it doesn't have save file to play to another pc. I have 2 pc, here in the office and at home. I wanna use the home character. I downloaded the game here in the office but the save file is not here. I have to make a fully new character. 🙁 Hope they fix this.

[sweet perch]

i doubt it, if they rush release it would be Atlas all over again.

[olive sentinel]

I wouldn't say that's a rush. That's a favorable time frame. August would be latest I'd guess

[stiff sluice]

So i just washed up on shore & running around grabbing rocks Im rememebering when I was playing the New World alpha and the first time stepping into that world. This was when it was full pvp but just experiencing the world was great. Im getting that vibe here.

[static skiff]

This games a new world, atlas, valheim tribrid

[sweet perch]

I hope so, bec. some people hate bugs and optimization issues.

[blazing moon]

hELP

[sleek tartan]

this game is like if new world and sea of thieves had a child, but that child was raised by valheim instead

[brisk lantern]

Quick question so i moved my base to that underground cellar where the smugglers chest are right but it still says i need a roof to use the armor crafting station. Do i actually need to build a place ?

[ember pecan]

do copper mines reset over time?

[brisk lantern]

It woulda been nice to use the place as a basement or something

[visual parrot]

every 2 rl hours

[olive sentinel]

Just do this lol

[obtuse hawk]

@blazing moon Post in #1298615153209638942 please

[ember pecan]

cheers

[gloomy kayak]

I turned the second islands mine into my instanced base

[copper scroll]

The game has potential for sure. I just hope the town or islands don't feel dead and the same things over and over. I have high hopes devs lol

[somber saffron]

i cant join after this

[abstract aspen]

#💬│windrose-chat message things to try out

[somber saffron]

i did

[brisk lantern]

What the-

So maybe i can still build on top of it

[somber saffron]

i can play solo but i cant join my friends

[brisk lantern]

Cuz i was able to build inside of it but no roof so now thats a game changer…

[sleek tartan]

ayo make proper houses for your workstations, if you are cold they are cold

[soft token]

Are you building above it or inside it?

[abstract aspen]

have you tried hosting? like have your friend join?

[brisk lantern]

I was able to put a bonfire inside the smugglers den no worries

And i built a roof thing to cover the hole so i can actually build on top of it

[somber saffron]

yes when i host they cant see my world but when they host i can see there

[olive sentinel]

All that's needed for a "Roof" is just a single tile above it

[soft token]

Question, can you put the furnace and all those outdoor stations indoor if you make them a chimney?

[brisk lantern]

Im gonna do both i think im gonna use the basement and fill it with storage chest then build my actual house around it

[soft token]

Nice!

[abstract aspen]

you did give them your invite code when you hosted right?

[soft token]

I bet that’s gonna be dope

[somber saffron]

yup

[sleek tartan]

i havent tried with the ones that say they need to be outside, but i was also not planning on having them inside anyways

[brisk lantern]

Im gonna have to do it later though i gotta get ready for work 😟

[abstract aspen]

thats weird..cuz i did have the connectivity issues myself a few times but never had the issue of not being able to see the hosts world

[brisk lantern]

Ill definitely send a picture when i complete it

[quick jay]

Still no release date 😭😭😭😭

[green wigeon]

i have consumed chicken :3

[somber saffron]

i cant load into the worlds thats what happen

[keen shoal]

this is prolly the best demo I've played in this style of game that isn't early access I've done built a whole dang island side town haha

[brisk lantern]

The only downside is i cant seem to destroy the smuggler chest, and i also cant put anything in them but its only 2 and the room is pretty spacious

#1298615357937942559 you can make a post there. make sure to provide as much info as you can and put the logs in there as well (so the devs can go through those if needed)

id still continue to try and get in there, have the friend restart as well and do the verifying of the game files through steam (both of u) before trying to connect again. it sometimes works and sometimes just doesnt. im sorry if i cant help more :(

[keen shoal]

is there a specific channel we have to post pictures in?

[spare bramble]

Media/screenshots

[stiff sluice]

I usualy turn the music off in every game immediately. But at this moment I am kinda enjoying the calm tunes Im hearing. At some point Ill turn it off but they did a great job w/ the music.

[spare bramble]

“Media-Sharing” more specifically

[paper gate]

Hello cap'ns

[subtle blade]

Well I finished my Drowned Conquistador dataset but it incremented at roughly 53 damage per 20 attack instead of the normal 75...

This leads me to believe its Armor Class is at least 200, if not 210

[knotty remnant]

I got close enough to see the shorelines and the trees lol

[subtle blade]

Needs more testing...

[hollow ingot]

Guys anyone know if later we can upgrade the size of the bonfire ? Is the are larger later ?

[visual parrot]

not in the demo

[hollow ingot]

And in the official game ?

[knotty remnant]

We don't know, we don't have the official game yet

[visual parrot]

I don't believe there is no limit on bonfires. So you could always place more. As for the official game we don't know anything

[zinc igloo]

I appreciate that response.

[kindred crag]

will early access be free

[knotty remnant]

[knotty remnant]

Can anyone tell me what I'm missing?

When I save the sailors..how come they are not going to my base?

[sturdy prism]

Hey bud let's play!

[snow pond]

Just read the latest post on release date/EA and that's fine by me. Theoretically, would our demo progress carry over into EA? If so, I'd keep building my base. If not, I'll probably just give playing a pause until EA

[proper idol]

Go get your new ship

[spark terrace]

No carry over.

[regal oasis]

They "are", just not visually. it's a pre-Early Access demo.. let the devs cook lol

[visual parrot]

They will appear on your ship when you repair it. They are not npc's to be used at your camp.

[clear ruin]

ok, you make or i make the server?

[proper idol]

No

[snow pond]

Thank you sir, occasional ship battles it is

[sturdy prism]

I sent a message

[raw rover]

So many ppl asking stupid question about carrying over progress from a demo..... lol

[low valley]

Because they're on your ship!

[regal oasis]

It's a 50/50, some games let you, others don't.. it's a valid question

[keen shoal]

this town I'm building is coming together like butt cheeks off a toilet

[iron dagger]

To be fair some demos I’ve played have transferred over

[dire osprey]

https://tenor.com/view/i-approve-approve-iiiiii-pirate-cat-gif-15080991

Yea. I repaired the ship but it said I needed 7 sailors. Must not have them all yet

[soft token]

It’s safe to assume progress won’t carry over.

[iron dagger]

They said it won’t on the Steam store page

[soft token]

Oh well there ya go lol

[spark terrace]

It's an absolute. Already stated by the devs.

[finite willow]

you can use those as ammo?

[visual parrot]

I have seen early access saves carry over through updates and into a 1.0 release of a game. I haven't seen a demo save carry over before.

[iron dagger]

I didn’t see it at first

[soft token]

Same lol

[iron dagger]

The game tiny glade did but that’s a different style game from this one

That’s why I wasn’t sure with this demo

[soft token]

Brother pearls are so easy to get..

[regal oasis]

Active Matter (Demo): Progress, including PvP raid stats and base exploration, carries over to the full release.
Daemon X Machina: Titanic Scion: The demo covers the first nine chapters, with saves transferring to the full game.
Kingdom's Return: Action/strategy gameplay progress carries over.
Lost Eidolons: Veil of the Witch: Demo progress carries over to the full release, often requiring Steam Cloud to be enabled.
Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon: The demo was updated to 1.0, allowing savegames to carry over to the full game.
Against the Storm: While you may need to start a new settlement, your meta-progression, experience, and unlocked upgrades carry over.
The Thaumaturge: Progress is carried over, often accompanied by pre-order discounts.
Kioku: Last Summer: A cozy game with a demo that allows you to carry over progress.
Homeworld 3 (War Games Demo):

[raw rover]

Sounds like u get on a register installing that as an adult

[iron dagger]

Dude what

[soft token]

Okay?

[regal oasis]

I'm not saying this game, there was just a list of people saying "Demo's don't, only early access does" like... it's a valid question to be had. Granted the Devs stated for this particular case it won't but that doesn't make the question as a whole not valid

[frigid forum]

They've already said progress from the demo won't carry over

[soft token]

Ohhh I gotcha

[dire osprey]

Thats why im stopped playing at 6 hours mark waiting for ea

[raw rover]

Anyone that's gona play a demo for over 6 months is either poor af or has no taste in games ^^

[iron dagger]

But isn’t there something beautiful in making a massive Pirate village knowing it will one day be wiped from existence

[distant hill]

Is there a way to have your weapons visable all the time?

[iron dagger]

Equip your weapon then use your hammer then put up the hammer

[dire osprey]

Thats the point yes i would pay for mu save to be carryover of its possible 🙂‍↔️🤣🤣🤣

[regal oasis]

idk, I just feel like nothing I have scratches the itch this demo gives me right now.. not sure I'll be playing the demo for 6 months but I'm still palying the demo because it's fun

[iron dagger]

You tired Valheim?

[olive sentinel]

Grounded & Palworld do it for me for the Crafting/Automation sense

[raw rover]

Enshrounded is pretty much the same game with more polish and no pirates

[regal oasis]

Yea, friends and I had a dedicated server... but because the server was never "off" I got mad at the ships constantly crashing and breaking when no one was online

[visual parrot]

Some have like 30+ hours in the demo so far. Some of the builds I have been here have been crazy.

[novel ether]

Keira speaks facts too much

[green wigeon]

valheim is PEAK

[distant hill]

Does the Ore respawn?

[fast orchid]

Y'all still on about this?
Asking to know if I should just grab more tea.

[novel ether]

Yes

I think there will people will abuse the demo and when game comes out they wont buy it 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[regal oasis]

Palworld was good until the grind got absolutely annoying.. had to kill one pal SOOOOO many times for a blueprint I got annoyed and bored

[iron dagger]

That why I love this game it’s pirate Valheim

Thank god hahaha frequency?

Lemon tea?

Always

[novel ether]

I feel like its every hour but I could be wrong

[green wigeon]

extremely based w take

[distant hill]

Okay will keep an eye on it

[green wigeon]

its also on more than one islanf so go between islands

[distant hill]

Yeah that I know was just wondering

[novel ether]

Building is like valheim, ship combat like black flag, open world like sea of thieves (but better than all 3 imo)

[green wigeon]

is there a limit to how many ships we can build?

[obtuse hawk]

Copper is 2 hours

[shy scaffold]

HARDLY SLEPT

[iron dagger]

Exactly!

[frigid forum]

Genuinely, from what I've seen of this Demo, this scratches every itch I've wanted in a pirate game. It has an impressive building system so far, genuinely a fun combat system, and it doesn't delve too far into the madness or make itself cartoony. It feels like a proper game set within the mythology that surrounds the golden age of piracy. I can't wait for more and to give this team my money

[green wigeon]

is there a limit to how many ships we can build?

Seeing JeeZee star base I wonder how many hours they have in the demo.

[cold coyote]

Hey, just wanted to ask, what difficulty do you play on?

I play on Calm Waters and I find fighting multiple enemies to be difficult. I know about parrying, and I can take on one enemy at a time, but if I get two or more, I find it harder to fight.

I'm at the mission where I have to find the Blackbeard Ketch and sink it.

Now, being the pirate that I am, I decide "We ball" and I try to board it.

I boarded it 3 times and still died.

I do kinda hope that we get the ability to have more folks in a game so I can have up to six folks in a session

[wintry vault]

No idea. When I first heard of the game it was described to me as an mmo with AC4 ship combat. That's all I knew before downloading today lol

[iron dagger]

Unless you have the boarding party equipment I wouldn’t recommend boarding

[peak forum]

well shoot there is alot of heavy hitters this year

[olive sentinel]

There's a post someone made in #1298615271686279208 for that idea already.

Silence, scallywag. We take all kinds aboard the seas.

[green wigeon]

i have a pass btw. Im allowed to make trans jokes

[cold coyote]

I'm half tempted to adjust the settings a little further and drop some of the damage that enemies do, because I'm getting my butt WHOOPED by NPC's.

Okay, maybe I'm being a little extra, but the point stands, I'm on the struggle bus.

[green wigeon]

you are the WOKER

[proven crystal]

i actually appreciate how little DEI things are in the game compared to slop other titles have today

why does their game name say crosswind....???

[clever solar]

whats transmog?

Guess you missed it. The other night someone called this game woke+ a few other words and was banned. 🙂

[regal oasis]

they rebranded. The subreddit is still crosswind though

[cold coyote]

Well, my pride is already hurt, so...

[clever solar]

same guy made a post in discussions lol, wait lemme guess he said the n word?

[olive sentinel]

if you don't like the look of your hat
But the stats are to good to take it off
You can transform the hat to look different but keep the stats

[proper idol]

Yeah cause there's already a windrose subreddit, its the name of a band

[iron dagger]

Don’t want to come across as rude but practice parrying it makes fighting easier

[distant nova]

upgrading your boarding party gear helps too

[frigid forum]

Oh man, diversity in a game about pirates? A Historically Very Diverse Proffession, especially within the Carribian of this time? Who would have guessed?

[regal oasis]

uh... pirates.... there's a million wishlists.. lets commandeer that subreddit

[frigid forum]

Me, but it's those BOARS

[olive sentinel]

Those also xD

[clever solar]

use dodge a lot during combat, hit twice dodge and go back, that makes the combat 10x easier

[cold coyote]

You're not being rude. I can take on one enemy just fine with parrying, but then I get 2-3 and their attacks are not synched, and so I'm blocking or parrying until I run out of stamina, then I just get boned from there.

But yeah, I get what you're saying

[visual parrot]

Not so much the n word, but other words you heard used in the same sentence these days.

[wintry vault]

I've just been kiting enemies. Most you can hit 1 or 2 times then sprint away from before they attack back. Cheesy af but it works

[distant nova]

and using the halberd to clear brush is most efficient

[green wigeon]

does this count? (my room)

[clever solar]

hint?

[raw rover]

If i saw some rainbow pirates coming towards me ide kill myself befofe they got there

[raven dagger]

theres different genders and racees so its in there just noone cares anymore except a few

lemme get my pride flags out and charge you

[tropic wagon]

So um., for those who missed it, tldr on announcement?

[glossy cave]

Game question, I dont have the boar or dodo "discovered" yet, yet i have completed the boar killing challenge and am almost done with the dodo.....am i missing something or is this a bug?

[wintry vault]

I'm seeing a flag, but no pass.

[visual parrot]

he called the game that and the next minute poof he was gone.

[frigid forum]

Brother do did you know that pirates were some of the first professions to actively accept gay marriage, or an equivilancy

[proper idol]

Do u have the racing car bed too?

[green wigeon]

no

[regal oasis]

TLDR: Devs released some teasers of the game

[distant nova]

boars spawn in the same places, clearing brush/trees around the area helps out too

[violet shard]

This game better release by next month or I will KILL myself

[cold coyote]

Yeah, I tried that a few times with good results, but haven't put stock in it

[tropic wagon]

ok good to know, I've been drinking irl so time to get back to my vibing

[raw rover]

Pirates not a profession as it was an illegal activity. Like trying to tell me drug dealers a job

[violet shard]

@old vine This is your one and only warning. Blood will be on your hands.

[green wigeon]

do you know where the word mate comes from

rheres a reason they call it MATING

[regal oasis]

may I interest you in some privateering

[ember pecan]

too bad you can't have the rapier and sabre out at the same time 😄

[proper idol]

3 months hopefully

[iron dagger]

Have you found the animals heads yet?

[frigid forum]

You say pirate, they say privateer. You say drug dealer, I say unlicensed pharmacist.

[tropic wagon]

Sounds like a you issue bud

[clever solar]

@visual parrot yea same guy made a discussions post, i saw a post hours ago complaining about being banned and calling game woke mods mustve deleted it

[glossy cave]

Probably not? I thought I did but idk

[green wigeon]

what?

[raw rover]

Privateers we're sanctioned by the crown therefore making it legal. Fml at least attempt to be intelligent ^^

[violet shard]

It would be Cool if they added Carronades and Ship Types and cool stuff like that 😃

[visual parrot]

yep I believe it was the same guy .

[distant mountain]

Why do they have crosswind band and windrose crew both on Spotify?

[regal oasis]

I just don't see how this game could be considered woke.. whatever, not that it matters, if there is anything "woke" about it then they did a great job because it's not "in my face" about it

[green wigeon]

but they were technically pirates. Just sort of legal once. They did plunder and everythibg

[raven dagger]

from the guy who would kill himself for seeing a piece of cloth with colours on it lol

[clever solar]

its really not, a woke game is basicaly veilguard

[violet shard]

The US is the only country which hasnt outlawed privateers so technically you could write to congress for a letter of marque and sink chinese merchants in the pacific

[normal nest]

hello

[iron robin]

Oi lads and lasses! Scupper me timbers and cast a vote for a fellow matey in feedback I've posted. I'd appreciate it

[normal nest]

I have one question

[green wigeon]

the us govt are literally pirates so that doesnt surprise me

[raw rover]

Body type 1 and 2 is fairly woke but that's all ive seen

[regal oasis]

ANSWER! no further questions at this time

[green wigeon]

are you for real? are BODIES woke now?

[regal oasis]

ahh, sure whatever

[visual parrot]

Probably cause the game's name changed from crosswind to windrose.

[river harbor]

i ABSOLUTELY love the fact i can walk away from my computer while sailing and come back and I'm still sailing

[clever solar]

yea that stuff is rediculus i saw it in oblivion remaster lmfao

[violet shard]

On December 18, 2025 Senator Mike Lee [R-UT] introduced S.3567, A bill to authorize the President of the United States to issue letters of marque and reprisal with respect to acts of aggression against the United States by a member of a cartel, or a member of a cartel-linked organization, or any conspirator associated with a cartel, and for other purposes.

[green wigeon]

yk irl if you set the sails right the boat steers itself :3

[normal nest]

is possible to plant the seed or not?

[visual parrot]

nope

[violet shard]

Do u guys wanna be Privateers IRL it will be Cool

[river harbor]

I dont leave my house sadly

[proper idol]

We vote against it

[deep rampart]

I would really like to see a way of saving a character you built like a template in this game kinda like what ark and atlas do

[normal nest]

and i think the ironpike, isn't craftable on demo mode

[green wigeon]

no, fck the current sytem of governments

[iron dagger]

Screenshot your character settings. There ya go

[regal oasis]

I don't see the value of this tbh, because you can freely edit your character anyway? and your character transfers between worlds so.. why?

[green wigeon]

unironically, you really should. Its not healthy to stay inside forever

[clever solar]

eh it could be worse

[coral mist]

it worked for all the reason why it would not work today.

[green wigeon]

lmao and?

[deep rampart]

well mostly I didnt know you could transfer your character

[violet shard]

Cuz its fun and you get to sink people ?

[river harbor]

I would love too, I love talking to people and everything, but I cant cause of people in my town

[proper idol]

Edit how?

[green wigeon]

oh no that sucks

[coral mist]

yes and u think modern tech wil allow u to get away with it do you

[raw rover]

If a whole town is supposedly bad maybe the town isnt the issue

[violet shard]

Yea

[green wigeon]

privateering wouldnt be illegal

[hollow ingot]

How can i dive in the water please

[green wigeon]

can be, though.

[abstract aspen]

sounds more like an anxiety kinda thing to me but could be wrong

[iron dagger]

Jump from really high up

[olive sentinel]

Fall from a high enough point and you kind of can

[river harbor]

Its the people in the town its very small so its really common

[coral mist]

go to somalia and priviteer there they are recruiting

[normal nest]

how i can do the ironpike?

[visual parrot]

Looted from a chest, I think on the second island.

[hard drum]

yo how do i rename my ship from ketch to whatever name

[clever solar]

wharf

[iron dagger]

Build a warf and it’s an option there

[hard drum]

https://tenor.com/view/flirt-smile-hähä-grinsen-smirk-gif-22183689

[hollow ingot]

So there is no a special key to jsut dive by swimming ? thank you

[distant nova]

I hope they add climbing and let us climb to the crow's nest on the ships

[normal nest]

thanks

[hard drum]

k thank you

[regal oasis]

you look at the loot you let fall to the bottom of the sea and you express gratitude to Davy Jones and pray he accepts your offering

[iron dagger]

Yeah there is currently no way to actually dive

[sweet raven]

so i died while trying to beat the blackbeard Ketch while boarding. can't summon my ketch anymore any advice?

[dire osprey]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-gif-16258174987336597266

[coral mist]

@midnight frost but daaaaahk

[regal oasis]

go to your warf with 20 wood

[midnight frost]

for fucks sake

[visual parrot]

recover in in the warf

[subtle blade]

I feel like I am grasping at straws here since none of the strongest enemies can be hit for exactly 600 pierce at any available Attack score...

But this does seem to more or less explain the discrepencies I am seeing...

[coral mist]

videogames spelen bro

[rugged blade]

New to the Demo, any servers open and willing to let a newbie in?

[sweet raven]

thx. game doesn't tell me 😄

[midnight frost]

godverdomme

[distant mountain]

Check out #1349751664843685990

[iron dagger]

Repair it at the wharf

[coral mist]

godverdomme is correct

[raven sage]

Does the copper in the Mine on the starting island respawn?

[visual parrot]

yep every 2 rl hours

[lusty imp]

yh every irl 2 hours

[raven sage]

NICE!! I love it

[brisk flame]

You know what would be a cool thing to see? You know at the beginning how messed up ur ship was from the attack? That's what ships should look like when you board them and they're at low health

[hard plume]

https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZT9eXbc177XNU-x20ht/

[regal oasis]

dibs

[reef grotto]

my only request with the game would be to let us change the camera distance from the player

[visual parrot]

could add that to the #1298615271686279208 if you want.

[somber radish]

we need a "free camera mode" so we can take screenshots :p

[brisk flame]

About to make a post with all my suggestions on there rn

[somber radish]

sounds good :p

[urban karma]

Are there plans to make coop more fun while on a ship? One person doing everything feels bad

[raven dagger]

yeah its in #1298583059402063926 under naval combat

[regal oasis]

I'm personnaly torn on this, on one hand I would like a single ship type that's ment for coop, but on the other cruising with friends as a fleet feels a certain type of way too lolol

[spark terrace]

Both need to be an option, IMHO.

[urban karma]

Ok so go in a fleet if you want but having the option to be on one ship should be viable and give everyonse something to do.

[regal oasis]

for sure, as mick said, check out the faq page.. I think you'll be happy with the results

[visual parrot]

I think this is all the info we have on that so far.

[olive sentinel]

https://tenor.com/view/one-fowl-day-kevin-tod-smith-ares-god-of-war-xwp-gif-308576940196679287

[raven dagger]

but our goal is to take things a step further by creating more room for tactics, teamwork, and player skill. We’re also exploring the possibility of allowing multiple players to crew a single ship, with each person taking on distinct roles and responsibilities during combat.

[brisk flame]

And done

[hard drum]

i think i just crashed my game 😭

[regal oasis]

I was just about to copy and paste that too lol

[nocturne portal]

haha censorship at it's best

[regal oasis]

You can lead a horse to water, but sometimes only drowning it works or whatever abraham lincolon said

[raven dagger]

frequently asked questions that are answered but noone reads lol

[subtle blade]

Reading is a thing of the past

[olive sentinel]

Devs forcing us to read

[regal oasis]

I'm illiterate, just extremely good at guessing

(on the topic of reading)

[subtle blade]

I will never forget that portion of the main quest in Morrowind where they literally described the landscape and landmarks to you in text, and then you had to go out and find them with zero quest markers and zero guidance

🤭

[regal oasis]

It's W for Weast

I mean even in this game there's the one "find" where they say "by the tree with a red bandana" bro I was SEARCHING lololol

[raw rover]

America's one of the worst for it. Their average citizens got a lower educational standard than some 3rd world countries

[subtle blade]

And so many people either didn't read, or couldn't find the ribbon.

Comedy gold

[wintry vault]

I spent a long time looking for a little corner of a chest poking through the ground around there. I didn't have a shovel yet 😂

[regal oasis]

I thankfully eventually found it lol. I will say I don't like the nirnroot "easter egg"... every time I hear that flower it reminds me of "I can HEAR the nirnroot... I can't SEE the nirnroot...."

[ember pecan]

seems like sometimes my little dinghi gets fully submerged, yet it doesn't sink

[raw rover]

Just really bad clipping

[regal oasis]

well duh, davy jones is my boi

[clever solar]

I hate Morrowind because of the reading thing and also I hated the combat and navigation

Not a gen z game lmao

[wintry vault]

Your loss, Morrowind is so GOATed when you don't have terminal zoomer brain

[subtle blade]

That's fair. There is a mod called Gratuitous Violence that makes all hits in Morrowind connect but significantly rebalances damage, makes it a lot easier for new gamers to stomach

[clever solar]

I tried but I just didn't like it

[regal oasis]

"back in my day, the entire game was a wall of text"... by the way you died of dissentary

[glossy cave]

Is there where to find X channel, I cant find this damn boars head or the dodo head....

[raw rover]

Its clearly on the crabs

[clever solar]

Trying to play Morrowind as a gen z person feels aweful

[merry mist]

Does this game have controller / gamepad support?

[raw rover]

Ide imagine life in general is rough

[wintry vault]

Text adventures are hard because I lose track of where I am in the "map" lol

[regal oasis]

you can map your own keybinds so... maybe? give it a shot

[glossy cave]

I dont know if this is serious or a joke cause I have look everywhere 🤣

[regal oasis]

Did you plug in a controller? did that work? did you map the keybinds? did that work? if the answer to all is no then it doesn't (yet)

[wintry vault]

I know. Not everyone can stand walking to Balmora with 20 speed

[merry mist]

I only downloaded it to a pc handheld. If it is not supported by the developers yet I will hook up a mouse and keyboard. Thank you for responding

[polar scroll]

does anyone know if the demo is multiplayer?

[regal oasis]

I know on steam deck there was issues where you have to set it to accept a random binding thing, like "default expirimental" and that works for them. I didn't read too much if they needed to adjust the settings more so there is hope after setup

[small adder]

How much is the game gonna be when it’s released?

[regal oasis]

but SteamOS is... funny lol, it tricks games into thinking the Linux is a Windows device lol

[visual parrot]

yes up to 4 players, though we are excepting an update tomorrow to address some of the disconnection issues with coop.

[soft token]

As an American, this is true and it shows.
It brings me pain.
The kind of pain you get when trying to reason with stubborn stupid people.

[visual parrot]

No information on the price of the game has been released yet.

[polar scroll]

ok, nice, thanks

[soft token]

My factless assumption is it will be $40

[visual parrot]

I would guess around that price as well. maybe even a little less, but just guessing 🙂

[subtle blade]

Just keep in mind the ones who can't read are usually the ones in schools, not the rural folk or the homeschoolers. 🤭 So if you want to point fingers be careful which part of America you're pointing at.

[soft token]

Noice 😎

[soft token]

Eh I ain’t pointing at any one area. It’s too wide sweeping for that. Even your point was a bit to generalized but I get what your saying.

[subtle blade]

True enough.

But oftentimes when people say Americans aren't educated all they really mean is there's lots of people who don't see things the way I do.

[abstract aspen]

nope. devs recommend using m&k rn since controller is not supported yet

[fresh tinsel]

First of all, congratulations on the excellent work, Devs. I'm really enjoying this demo. However, I have a question regarding leveling.

I'm currently level 2 and the next quest is to get the crew, but the bandits are level 6. How can I level up without using quests?

[regal oasis]

your personal level doesn't matter really, your gear level carries you

[clever solar]

Level isn't really a huge factor just utilize dodge and parry

[visual parrot]

You should be able to kill them once your good at ☝️

You can also upgrade your armor and weapons if you struggling if you haven't already

[regal oasis]

The only thing I don't like about this demo is it's way too popular... so many people that seemingly never played a videogame before are here lol. BUT that's okay, it's just getting exhausting to see lol. I'm glad that this is either their first game, or their first game of this type of genre

Just brings me back to when a buddies wife asked in CoD "how do you throw a grenade" and both my friend and I said "grenade button" because it's literally the same button in every game (on controller... yes there are outliers but there's also "gaming standards" tbh)

[visual parrot]

Hard part for me cause this is to populate is the chat moves very fast during peak hours even with slowmode enabled. It's hard to follow sometimes 🙂

[fresh tinsel]

Nice guys!! Thanks for the advices!! My gear is the first green gear we can create... So, I need to improve!!

[regal oasis]

sort of, go to the clothing and armor bench and level it up. even after finding rare gear you're going to need to level it up and the clothing and armor bench

[zinc moon]

im not done with demo yet and its already the best demo of any game i played

[green sphinx]

I am missing two objectives, do not see any pointers or hints as to where I should look.

[soft token]

That’s the one problem with large communities is there’s a very vocal yet inexperienced portion of the playerbase that think they know it all. It’s weird. Even us people who’ve gamed all our lives aren’t always gonna get things wrong lol
I should say it’s fine until they actively push for changes the games don’t need

[abstract aspen]

some things require you to look closer, find things behind stuff like boxes and such or read notes:)

[zinc moon]

i think for tutorial it would be useful if the game guided new players a little more (didnt find clay for a few minutes...my bad) so they know what to do in late game.

like some people dont play survival games usually

[soft token]

I found the game very intuitive tbh
could just be me though

[abstract aspen]

to be fair, the clay in other games usually doesn't look as dry as in Windrose. I can see someone missing that at first

[regal oasis]

always a fine balance between a game holding your hand and not giving enough info... BUT... I've seen someone say on reddit "This game doesn't tell you this!!" and it's like the first thing the game tells you so... idk.. I hear you on stuff like the clay but...

[zinc moon]

i mean i just checked the ground at some point

[soft token]

Yeah that’s the one thing I had to ask about, then again I could just walked up to see what that weird patch of dirt was 😅

[visual parrot]

I think the only thing I didn't figure out right away. Is the ship has cannons that face in three directions. I didn't learn that until after I finished the demo lol.

[deep rampart]

Some people have no natural curiosity and this is why many games hold your little hand

[zinc moon]

my point is that it should explain more in tutorial and less in late game. especially about resources that you need and DONT need (as for every surival game)

[abstract aspen]

I wasn't looking for clay when i found it. i thought it was rock at first but then i saw the "clay" when i looked at it haha

[torpid bolt]

https://tenor.com/view/is-it-gif-20766212

[hearty roost]

firing the cannons was the only thing I had struggled to figure out right away. wasnt until my ship was 25% health did I figure out how to aim and fire.

[regal oasis]

This has been blamed on "internet culture" because people expect answers now... my problem with that though is now people don't even bother googling before they ask

[torpid bolt]

I can't stop

[zinc moon]

think my biggest "issue" so far is that combat is a bit janky because the game doesnt let you change direction when hitting smth

i like the parry system though

[abstract aspen]

oh yeah the "swinging in the direction I'm looking" thing?

[fast orchid]

Love the new pfp btw

[regal oasis]

yea there's two sides to this, some games purposely animation lock you for the "challenge" I suppose, I don't think that's the devs intent and I'm sure they'll tighten the combat up but sometimes the issue is you.. don't get "attack greedy" and hit x2 and dash back, change how you fight

[abstract aspen]

praising yourself here smh haha

[zinc moon]

swinging into the direction i dont want to swing while another enemy is in the other direction (when you fight multiple enemies)+

[fast orchid]

Mother always said it's important to love yourself

[abstract aspen]

the lock on needs to have a target switch for these things

[zinc moon]

i dont want to fight mutiple enemies with animation lock ngl

[primal osprey]

how do you shoot the cannons on the ship?

[regal oasis]

use a weapon with a "sweeping" attack; what weapon are you maining?

[visual parrot]

right click

[soft token]

Still waiting for people to notice mine..

[feral bolt]

right click to aim, left click to fire

[visual parrot]

and face the way to select which cannons you want to fire

[primal osprey]

it only shows me right infront of me tho

[zinc moon]

oh i crafted a rapier

[visual parrot]

look to the left or right and do that

[feral bolt]

face the direction you wanna fire to aim the cannons on that side

[subtle blade]

I would prefer not to.

[soft token]

It has a sweeping attack but only on the third hit

[regal oasis]

that weapon isn't going to be good for multiple enemies with your desired playstyle

[primal osprey]

tyty

[trim atlas]

can you actually sell anything in this demo version?

[soft token]

Mike Tyson is saddened to hear that

[tight valve]

Been getting to play the game for between 20-40 mins then hard crash of comp 🙁

[zinc moon]

oh no i just wanted it because precision is good for guns aswell

[regal oasis]

you can sell your soul to the devs

[brittle peak]

🙌

[abstract aspen]

W to ram the enemy ship!

[primal osprey]

and can only the person driving the boat shoot or can the passanger shoot also

[regal oasis]

this game, at least in the demo, is like many other games, early gear and stats really doesn't matter, I hear you but there's not enough here for a "build" yet

[fast orchid]

L to ram prices

[visual parrot]

There is a bleed rapier you can find on the first island. It's a pretty nice weapon. If you ascend it the bleed transfer to another target when the first dies.

[zinc moon]

damn i must have missed that

[primal osprey]

how do you ascend something? just lvl it up enough?

[spark terrace]

Still has half the raw damage of many of the other options.

[regal oasis]

are the ascended additional perks static? or does it pull from a pool of possible perks?

[visual parrot]

You need a shovel it's a burried chest by tree with the red rag on it.

[zinc moon]

i mean usually some kind of crit build is always broken and i assume that either agi or precision will be that later on

[visual parrot]

It adds a perk

[zinc moon]

ill look into it ty for that

[regal oasis]

demo progress doesn't carry over, and even if it did, you can always respec later

[open ingot]

you should have a journal entry about it.

[zinc moon]

ik i just wanna try it rn

[abstract aspen]

just wish the halberd was able to parry..i love the parry and I'm not a fan of only some of em being able to do so :(

[spring portal]

why is the damage so insanely high for enemies on normal?

[regal oasis]

yes but is said perk random.. or will you get the same second perk every time

[zinc moon]

yeah ill check

[open ingot]

it's not if you eat/combine food

[visual parrot]

True but can be very nice for multiple targets. Like boarding ships. Say you bleed to targets and they die. Two addtional targets will get the bleed.

[regal oasis]

did you upgrade your armor?

[spring portal]

even with eating combined food and having a pretty decent health bar you get 2 shot by level 1 boars

[visual parrot]

You will always get the same ascended perk for the same weapon.

[zinc moon]

im still mindblown, most demos would just stop after first island and wouldnt even have ONE quest at all

[primal osprey]

can you put a bed on your boat?

[open ingot]

yeah you shouldn't be trying to face tank those things anyways at low level. You should be parrying and/or evading attacks.

[open ingot]

Not at this time.

[supple plank]

what are people doing once they've fully explored the islands and quests?

[abstract aspen]

to encourage parries, dodging and using food and bandages/ health potions :) i like the way it's balanced for normal but i can def see why some might struggle at first. There's no shame in lowering enemy damage for a while until u get used to everything

[open ingot]

build

[sleek wadi]

JUST FINISHED LOVED IT felt like blck flgs with a enshrouded mission style

[robust whale]

playing rocket league

[distant nova]

Deforestation simulator

[regal oasis]

whatever they want because a pirate is free

jk, build towns, bases whatever or just hunt the ship again because why not

[spring portal]

thats not the problem, i can parry or evade most attacks especially when facing 1 single enemy but the fact that a single hit does over 50% of your health in a single hit from a level 1 enemy is absolutely ridiculous.....im doing fine but my gf is struggling so if casual players are punished so harshly this gam e will never succeed

[open ingot]

Not sure why this is a complaint, you can turn down the enemy damage and other settings

[regal oasis]

Sounds like "easy" is your preferred difficulty, and that's okay. Don't let anyone tell you it's not

[robust whale]

it's very harsh in the beginning but gets better as you level and get gear. I recommend reducing the damage of mobs to around 60%, it feels more like a normal difficulty

[primal osprey]

do they have any idea on a release date?

[supple plank]

I have to agree with this take. I can easily 1v4, but its way over punishing that two hits is all it takes to go down when i have to use like 30 per enemy.

[sleek wadi]

crazy work thats exactly what i just switched too lol

[spring portal]

its a complaint because the difficulty setting is set to "normal" when its more along the lines of hard difficulty

[open ingot]

All we know at this time is EA is slated for release sometime in 2026

[abstract aspen]

there is settings to change stuff to your liking. normal is just a recommendation

[floral crater]

Cant release prisoners even after killing all the blackbeard pirates guarding them. Am I borked?

[regal oasis]

in #1298583059402063926 they say this:
"It’s still too early to share a specific release date, but we’re aiming to launch in Early Access first.

A console release is definitely in our plans, but for now, our main priority is the PC version."

[open ingot]

Once I mastered parry/evade, it became too easy for me so I have to disagree with you. It's fine the way it is and can be adjusted for individual preference so adjust as you see fit.

[boreal crag]

i havent been this hyped for a game in so long lol

[visual parrot]

You never actually release them, just talk to them. They will appear on your ship when you repair it.

[open ingot]

We had devs confirmed EA aimed for 2026 so I'm excited.

[distant nova]

today I figured out that chain shot/ammo type 2 from the ship is far more effective at knocking down trees and has farther/higher range

[supple plank]

i will say its easy to fight, like I said I can 1v4 easy, My issue is that two hits at two food buffs takes you out when it takes like 30 to do the same

[regal oasis]

yea it's february, I would imagine "2026" after releasing a demo early 2026 lol

[mossy epoch]

Do you know if you can personalise your pirate flag?

[supple plank]

trees??? can I mine with cannons?

[abstract aspen]

fellow chain shot deforestation enjoyer i see

[robust whale]

I think the damage feedback is a fair point though, if only due to new players trying the game for the first time will be much more likely to quit from furstration. Damage should be lower for default, and allow players to increase if preferred.

[mossy epoch]

Like if you can import an image or paint it ingame

[supple plank]

not at this time.

[spring portal]

its easy for me as well but its been a complete nightmare for my gf who is a more casual player so i have to completely disagree with you

[feral bolt]

i beg your finest pardon

[raven dagger]

True but still slower than just chopping as boring as it is

[distant nova]

yes! and it's the only way to mine the sulfur nodes lol

[open ingot]

That's why I evade and heal before jumping back in if I take a big enoug hit.

[supple plank]

I CAN MINE SULFUR????

[open ingot]

you can. but can't make gunpowder in the demo

[raven dagger]

Can't make anything with it though unfortunately

[mossy epoch]

Damage is fine, you can tweak it if you want. But the game needs to be adjusted to be easier to read the movest

[distant nova]

yeah but it doesn't unlock the gunpowder recipe 😭

[regal oasis]

maybe you can't, I'm built better

[abstract aspen]

turn down the settings for her! please just turn them down for her if she struggles that much :(

[supple plank]

Dang.

[raven dagger]

Im built like butter wdym??

[supple plank]

cant say Dam*?

[mossy epoch]

The game is supposed to be a bit like dark souls so making it easy by default would take away from it

[primal osprey]

if you target someone is there a way to quick swap your target to another?

[visual parrot]

sadly not at this time

[mossy epoch]

Not currently I think

[distant nova]

i built a fast travel dock by each pirate camp so now quick harvest runs for gunpowder make it unlimited

[regal oasis]

hey can I join your map to uh.. just.. check out your gunpowder chest... I just want to look I swear

[raven dagger]

But what do you make with sulphur?

[primal osprey]

is there a musker or halbird in the game to use?

[open ingot]

yes to both

[regal oasis]

I make you question things with sulfer apparently

[distant nova]

the halberd is OP for harvesting plant fiber

[abstract aspen]

that's the neat thing... nothing atm haha

[primal osprey]

whats the difference in the cannon balls also?

[visual parrot]

❤️ the musket

[open ingot]

nah, the shovel is lol. halberd is fun though!

[regal oasis]

I also make less inventory space with sulfer

[abstract aspen]

chain shot (2) for destroying sails and slowing them down. and other one for the big damage to the ship

edit: and chain shot for trees! (ignore the lorax, deforestation is fun)

[distant nova]

maybe after deforestation is complete lol, i still have trees in the way

[grand bobcat]

I've been playing for 60+ hours, and I haven't even started the quest yet. That's how good the game is. So far it's just been Sims-building houses and Warcraft-farming mats for gear and more house items... But, gee... Where the hell do I find gunpowder?? I had some and used it all like the very smartass I am... 🥲

[tawny plover]

chain shot for trees too

[raven dagger]

Must be your build

[raven dagger]

No i know but ol mate was inferring he could lol

[spring portal]

or maybe normal difficulty shouldnt be so unforgiving for casual players

[open ingot]

you farm gunpowder from pirate loot. Oh and you unlock more house building stuff as you progress

[regal oasis]

I'm just built better *shrug :p

[visual parrot]

You can also start new worlds and loot it from them and bring it back to your main world.

[raven dagger]

Get past a few deaths and try different things and its not difficult i think is the point

[tawny plover]

3rd island in the blackbeard camps the -quest- takes you to

[open ingot]

feel free to make a post about it in #1298615271686279208. don't want to keep discussing it here as a moot point

[grand bobcat]

Ooh!! Good to know! There was a pirate ship at some point, and I trapped it with piers... But I was too coward to board the boat. :X

[distant nova]

I wish the ships dropped gunpowder as loot, i'd spend more time at sea

[open ingot]

HOW... did you manage that? that's hilarious!

[spring portal]

if you read my previous messages its not a problem for me but it is a problem for more casual players like my gf

[abstract aspen]

i think normal is for people that play more often and are used to these kinds of games. Easy for casual

[regal oasis]

"I can't play on a difficulty that's above another difficulty more suitable to my tastes" like .... wut? they've literally given you what you ask for.. it's called "easy difficulty"

[manic basalt]

Casual players know how to press buttons when needed. Youre giving yourself and your girlfriend too much credit.

[grand bobcat]

I just put piers as far as I could above the sea, and at some point, I notice the ship ran into it and just got stuck. 💀 But after a few hours out of the game, it unstuck itself I have no idea how? The structure was still there, but the boat vanished. 😹

[spring portal]

i completely disagree

wow you guys are idiots hope this game dies lol

[raven dagger]

Yeah I did, im saying tell her to try different things apart from facetanking as it really is easy once learn strategies

[open ingot]

that is hilarious! Next time that happens, pls grab a screenshot. How were you able to to build so far out

[abstract aspen]

it's usually for gunpowder but sadly we can't unlock the recipe in the demo, so it's sadly completely useless :/

[raven dagger]

I....know....lol

[grand bobcat]

I'll try again, yes!! 😹
Basically you put a pier on the beach, and once you're on top of it, you maintain the building button while moving forward, it builds into a straight line! :D

[open ingot]

careful, we're the idiots now...

[open ingot]

were you able to build past the bonfire radius?

[distant nova]

has anyone found Whiskey or is that missing too?

[open ingot]

just rum so far

[mild cedar]

Btw, has anyone tried if it's possible to do the black flag special?
That is, boarding a ship without combat & clearing the deck solo.

It's a lot easier to grab onto a ship here, but i'm not that good of a fighter to win it.

[visual parrot]

You can loot whisky and can also get from ships
