I discovered all of them and got all the chests but idk for some reason I still don’t have the rapier of a thousand cuts

[olive sentinel]

[hot heart]

can you help me ? i don't find where craft the gunpowder. it's been 2 hours and i'm getting a BIT nervous

[hasty roost]

-# have you met the boars

[regal oasis]

I'm really hoping this gets expanded upon in the early access. I too am not trying to be a "pirate hunter"

[regal remnant]

You can’t

[olive sentinel]

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

[glad temple]

You can only steal it from pirates

[tawny silo]

just made a massive lighthouse

[dapper smelt]

The Traveler's Camp for the Rapier.

[regal oasis]

looks small

[regal remnant]

[tawny silo]

[hot heart]

so why dust ? just why.....

[glad temple]

Will it say on the map it’s the travelers camp?

[regal remnant]

We have the same monitor

[glad temple]

Herbivore vision

[tawny silo]

hell yeah

[surreal sierra]

Bro's got peripheral peripheral vision

[dapper smelt]

There is one chest, buried treasure, so you at least don't have that chest.

[hasty roost]

Ultra wide screen tv

[raven dagger]

https://tenor.com/view/crosseyed-gif-10590422868268345273

[glad temple]

I got the buried treasure. There’s one location where I haven’t gotten all the chests though. It’s just a singular tent, but I don’t see any chests or anything else around it

[surreal sierra]

Bro could make a panoramic just by looking across his screen

[regal oasis]

did you read the note near the tent? something about a log...

[raven dagger]

Gotta read the note for the clue

[glad temple]

Ahh okay thanks

[dapper smelt]

The note is the clue to more buried treasure.

[regal oasis]

but uh... make sure you have a shovel with you

[glad temple]

📝

[hasty roost]

I've seen so many people who would make sense as pirates but equally be bad at being a pirate 😂

[regal oasis]

and which one do you think I am?

[hasty roost]

Definitely crewmate

[limpid canyon]

I have just finished the router reset. I have restarted my computer. I have verified the game files. I changed the player count to a lower one. I still cannot get the game to load the online server. It will load me offline and it seems to be fine but the online version just refuses to run without crashing to desktop

[river crater]

well iam off to bed. iam not that young anymore to go on for more than 24 hours in a row 😛

[sturdy whale]

can i crack some 90s in windrose?

[dapper smelt]

Buried treasure and Pirates is definitely an obvious combination, so none of the buried treasure has been a surprise.

[glad temple]

Was there a big difference between the crosswind and windrose demo for those of you who got to try it?

[hasty roost]

It gets better once you hit 10,000

[karmic flume]

Thanks for adding camera tracking while sailing at sea. There are far fewer underwater boat glitches too. ❤️

[sturdy whale]

where can i mine clay?

[dapper smelt]

There was much more to the alpha from what I have heard, but I was late to this party, only starting the demo like 5 days in.

[regal oasis]

there's clay deposits between the grass and sand

[granite oxide]

Clay

[sturdy whale]

thanks!

[tardy flower]

<@&1354821664998817822> I found a potentially game breaking (fairness in multiplayer) issue with the game and want to privately report it out of public eye. what do?

[surreal sierra]

Send it to one of us in dm's

[regal oasis]

Watch, it's going to be the most well known bug lol

[tardy flower]

like just dm in discord?

[granite oxide]

Basically what we had is the same core game - the core game didnt change, just expanded. Also the direction change of game stlye from a mix of Survival to mmo elements and pvp plans, free to play, changed to a more survival gameplay and more co-op focused, Buy to play with pvp shelved for now. It had allowed them to focus more on getting the core game done and developed rather than potentially spending a great deal of resources and time on development to mesh game systems together instead.

[fast orchid]

Full send it, I gotchu

[surreal sierra]

Yes

[tardy flower]

@surreal sierra why does it say you're suspended?

[surreal sierra]

Just the about me section. An old joke I've never changed

[dull onyx]

am i missing something? if i'm inside my house and go into build mode I can't see to place anything cause all i have is a view of the roof. can we zoom in?

[granite oxide]

press Q

change your view

[granite oxide]

That solve it for you?

[valid pumice]

I saw there is an update for the demo, do we know what this is for? I can't find any patch notes or info about it.

[tardy flower]

I reported it @fast orchid @surreal sierra

[fringe fable]

also "V" is a shortcut I use to change views. "P" will toggle snaping as well

[dull onyx]

ya it wasn't working but when i logged out and logged back in its working now

[granite oxide]

Much appreciated

[dull onyx]

thank you!

[dapper smelt]

Adding more telemetry to help resolve connection issues.

[valid pumice]

Gotcha, I figured it was something like that. Ty!

[tardy flower]

okay i cave. the bug is, if you fart in game it insta kills all nearby players.

[granite oxide]

Oh if that is the bug - that is @fast orchidIt's why the other mods now avoid being on same ship anymore

It's the lemon's

😛

[amber vortex]

this is funny because my cats name is Fidget
but i either call him D*ckhead or Colonel Ginger

i refuse to believe any cat is actually referred to by its legal name

[regal oasis]

I'm sure your cat has just as endearing nicknames for you

[worldly talon]

This is accurate, mostly, in my house. Sometimes they get the legal name, but usually only if they do something bad.

[tardy flower]

<@&1354821664998817822> will the "turn back or be destoryed" mechanic be in the final game, or is this just for the demo area? if it is, I want to report the 3 ways i broke it. if its just demo, then it doesn't really matter i suppose.

[regal oasis]

we got a professional narc over here -.-

[tardy flower]

I also have evidence that Zumo has been collaborating with Blackbeard

[regal oasis]

https://tenor.com/view/disney-movies-quotes-potc-pirates-of-the-caribbean-gif-14851123

[surreal sierra]

Its just to keep players in the playable area for the demo. It will probably be used to make the actual map border in the full game. If you found a way to break it then please submit a report in #1298615153209638942 with game logs and as much detail as possible.

We appreciate the enthusiasm but you also dont need to ping us unless something rule breaking is occurring in chat. If you need to get one of our attention then I recommend pinging one of us individually rather than the entire mod team.

[granite oxide]

Please try to avoid pinging the entire mod team for general questions, major issues yes.

[tardy flower]

sure thing. sorry i don't really use discord much so I dont know the etiquette

Wrong server! My bad

[fast orchid]

Nah

[runic ridge]

quick question, is the sword suppose to be visible on your belt if not in your hand? It's not for my friends and I but we've seen gameplay where some people have it showing on their belt

[regal oasis]

that depends on if it's "equipped" or not, at least, that's how it currently works, if that's intended or not who knows

[runic ridge]

what qualifies as equipped? it's just in hotbar 1 rn

[regal oasis]

is it selected in your hotbar or not. Example, if it's "highlighted" and you go into build mode, it's still equipped and will be on your belt. If not highlighted then you won't see it

[runic ridge]

ohhhh I see, that worked

thanks for the help!

[cold pine]

so not game related but i could use some help. i have deleted every major program and game off my pc but im still missing nearly 500gigs of space and i cant figurer it out

[teal bramble]

try WizTree, easy to see where the large stuff is hiding

[regal oasis]

Temporary files, hidden "back end" files, waiting files, and most importantly, reserved space for the OS, as well as "formatting space" for the storage itself

[cold pine]

i have revo and windirstat neither are helping

[cold pine]

that sould accoutn for 50 gigs at most, noit neayl half my hard drive

[regal oasis]

fair enough lol

[cold pine]

im trying to avoid doing a factory reset casue i dont remember all my passwords for my streaming services lol

[regal oasis]

Is it tied to your OS? how long have you had the OS for? if it's windows they're known for keeping useless files through updates and it innapropirately takes up space imo

[cold pine]

ive had this pc for about a year. did a full factory reset when i bought it

when i did that i have over 950 gigs of space before i started my downloads like steam and gamnes and hwat not

[clever solar]

https://tenor.com/view/light-cubes-gif-9287479542178426303

[granite oxide]

Sounds like you may need to get some direct tech support on it. but try going through clearing Steam Cache files, do a deep defrag, and I'd google Steam issues in relation to residual files

[cold pine]

i did a complete uninstall of steam lol

[regal oasis]

uninstalling things leaves some "relic" files, is what I meant by the "hidden backend" ones, and really the "waiting" ones, because they're kinda meant to be "if you install me agian" files, they're generally on the smaller end but they do add up

[cold pine]

gotcha

[granite oxide]

doing a complete uninstall doesnt remove all the files.

[cold pine]

ok i cleared my steam cache and it gave me 23gigs of space back. im getting somewhere lol

[regal oasis]

it's crazy how much space hidden files can take lol, on their own they're small but it adds up pretty quickly when you desperately need space lol

[granite oxide]

Steam can be as bad as Norton and MacAfee antivirus stuff used to be years ago if not still - imbeds in more places than you think...

[lilac glade]

will our worlds/characters from the demo be usable in the main game when it comes out?

[cold pine]

i dont despretly need space really, just trying to figure this out. i think i have a virus too

[regal oasis]

no

[mortal shell]

Just got playing windrose tonight

[regal oasis]

well if you got a virus then you should factory reset anyway.

[lilac glade]

damn

[cold pine]

i am doing what i can to avoid that. ill get locked out of my streaming services. long story. i did manage to squeeze another 40gigs out of steam using revo

[queen frost]

Is there any way to cycle items? Either a hotkey or enable scroll wheel to cycle items?

[regal oasis]

I get why you're trying to avoid that but if you honestly think it's a virus, the chances of you removing it by deleting random cached files is pretty low

[proper shell]

Hello, when I enter the game and press "Start," the game closes or kicks me out. What is the solution?

[granite oxide]

as in scroll wheel? Not at this time. That is definitely something to give feedback on. I'm pretty sure it's been brought up a few times.

[errant salmon]

Any chance we'll get a scythe or sickle at some point? Picking up plant fiber one at a time is Conan Exiles 2017 all over again! lol. I need to make these titanic buildings!!!

[cold pine]

microsoft edge (which i dont use) had over 14k files. i just removed all of them

[rough schooner]

Halberd does great with getting that nice big arc swing for harvesting fiber. Also takes down the small ficus

[errant salmon]

good call!

[granite oxide]

Try going through the steps in pinned messages 📌. Or here #💬│windrose-chat message For most it appears to be working fine. For many it is a Router and/or security issue with either firewall settings of shield wall. that is all We can suggest for now other than keep trying. They are monitoring co-op information and still investigating ways to improve on it.

[marsh oriole]

there's hardly anything in the game(that's not an insult or anything- just acknowledging the demo) and it's already ruined all my other favorite survival crafters by comparison for being so awesome

[granite oxide]

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 the #│announcements when it is time. See the latest post here #│announcements message from Yar_Master. As far as price and packages, that will most likely follow Early Access Release info.

[marsh oriole]

bet tyyy and also

[sonic mural]

WHY DO THE SAILING MECHANICS SEEM BACKYARD

[marsh oriole]

lol I'm buying it as soon as it's available for sure

[regal oasis]

BECAUSE ITS A DEMO! nah but that's not even constructive criticism.. what do you mean... add it to #1298615271686279208 or #1298615153209638942 depending on what you mean

[sonic mural]

ok cool sorry about caps

[marsh oriole]

I hope there's more shanties in the full release ngl had my volume at max earlier sailing around for like 20 minutes to just that

[cinder grove]

[errant salmon]

Can you expand on "backyard" (I understand that you meant "backward")? W goes forward, D turns right, A turns left....

[cold pine]

after all that deleting im still at 475 out of 930 gigs. what in the world is taking up over 400gigs of space. driving me mad

[tardy flower]

wait wait wait, i can expand the size of the bonfire radius? how?

[plucky rivet]

Tell us you've never been at a helm without telling us you've never been at a helm.

[sturdy whale]

at the travellers camp in the starting island, i cant find the chest, any tips

[errant salmon]

Dig near the tree with the red scarf in it

[tardy flower]

I can say I have been at the helm in the big scarry, you know, real life

[surreal steppe]

Until when will this demo be available, guys?

[errant salmon]

Until "early release"

[outer berry]

when demo release

[tardy flower]

at least until the end of the building contest

[regal oasis]

The demo will be up until the early access releases (no estimated time on that)

[granite oxide]

See here on response from Benjamin on the Wind for the Demo #💬│windrose-chat message

[granite oxide]

Also, characters, items and buildings will not transfer to the Early Access, it is part of the demo – different client, different game builds. So enjoy playing the demo for now until that time 🙂

[obsidian coyote]

Has anyone had an issue where on first launch the game loads forever? I haven't been able to get past the first loading screen, ocassionally it fails with a fatal error, no error code

[hybrid hearth]

hey all, been playing the demo for a few days now. legit question. how for can you go in this playtest? ive completed i need a bigger boat and rescueing the crew. is that all thats available at this time?

[grizzled rune]

You will hit a content wall basically thanking you for playing but can continue

[marsh oriole]

is there a good spot to hunt for more ship spawns?

[empty geode]

I just made the fun discovery that dying during boarding deletes your ship

[regal oasis]

pretty much, other than exploring the 3 islands, you can join the building contest if you want, keep hunting ships, but as far as "content" you're done my friend

[manic finch]

Continue what? If the base building doesn't interest us there's nothing more to do.

[hybrid hearth]

ok i believe i have then, it did pop on my screen. i was just wondering if there was MORE i could do. thanks!

[ancient charm]

where is 'windrose crew' located? the game studio/company?

[grizzled rune]

Continue to exist in the matrix until we get released into the EA

[tidal dawn]

What other games has this dev team worked on? I want to make sure this isn't just a good old cash grab solid base game that's really good, but no interest in further development?

[teal bramble]

Uzbekistan

[stuck bobcat]

the silicon valley of central asia

[regal oasis]

They came from Davey Jones Locker

[ancient charm]

ahh interesting, that's why the support for russian/chinese in here.

[granite oxide]

The team is a 50+ group located all over the world, not at a particular location.

[primal isle]

anyone else experiencing net code issues? have a friend that cant find my server when im hosting

[primal isle]

Tried that, and will see if its a firewall issues. Thanks!

[ancient charm]

love the game, even though it was originally MP and that direction was changed to singleplayer survival (which i think was a very good decision). i hope the game supports 200 player dedicated servers in the future. and even has PVP at some point, if not vanilla then modded in.

[granite oxide]

Well it's co-op, and doubtful it'll have those kind of numbers. They stress tested 20 internally and the mod group tested a smaller number, so numbers are possible. But we currently do not have dedicated servers and it needed a bit more optimization and polish. So for the demo it was kept to 4. What those numbers will be on Early Access we and the Dev's have no idea at this point. So will just have to wait and see.

[stuck bobcat]

Any plans to add voice chat in game?

[manic finch]

Unfortunately as long as the game stays Skull and Bones with survival crafting instead of Sea of Thieves with survival crafting, my friends and I will likely pass. Hoping this changes in the future though.

[granite oxide]

In regards to pvp , see Benji's comment on it here #💬│windrose-chat message

[rancid coyote]

as long as this dosent end up like skull nd bones .... im in 100% lol

[granite oxide]

The game is a mix of Valheim and Black Flag, definitely nothing like Skull n Bones.

[ancient charm]

that sounds good. i was thinking players could host 40 player servers, and have pvp, but not immediately. i was thinking 3+ years from now. especially if the game is a big success, which it looks like it will be, provided the developers continue cooking well. i think building out the PVE and then adding optional pvp is the way to go.

[abstract sage]

------NEED----- a hold click for mining and cutting trees and a symbol on the outer circle of the minimap for your tombstone . byt the way this game is awesome

[granite oxide]

The Demo alone at 5% content, hit over 22,000 concurrent players, Skull n bones never ever even hit 1,300 concurrent players at its peak. should tell you something.

[reef nova]

I gotta tell you, I'm very pleasantly surprised with this game

[granite oxide]

Oh yeah I'm sure a lot of optimization will occur for sure.

[craggy cypress]

how do you get more gunpowder? or not in demo.

[ancient charm]

i was wondering, do you guys know if character creation/graphics/hair will improve over time? or the demo is the peek of what those will be?

[granite oxide]

I also am a pvp player too and well as pve so I hear ya on that.

[rough schooner]

Makes sense, there's even a song by Alestorm called Uzbekistan. They recognize the pirate spirit

[manic finch]

Skull and Bones and Black Flag have literally the same sailing and combat. Valheim failed after the first year due to an empty world that was massive but had nothing unique in it's procedurally generated world (when you've seen one swamp you've seen them all)

[granite oxide]

It has already greatly improved from what we had in last Alpha, so I'm sure it'll get more passes.

On My game it looks pretty freaking amazing maxed out - super detailed.

[ancient charm]

i wouldnt say valheim failed, a lot of people love valheim. windrose has a good building system too, which is vital for a good survival game... i think the build system is also stress based like valheim?

i thought i saw different colours on the roof when placing roofing lol

[granite oxide]

Valheim was very successful - they made millions off it. Still a great game getting updates.

[narrow sentinel]

Valheim still holds upwards of 25k players daily

[sonic patrol]

Valheim 1.0 is about to release here soon

[reef nova]

Saying valheim failed is just head in the sand

[narrow sentinel]

Sitting at 23k right now

[rough schooner]

I still love sailing in Valheim. You can absolutely conserve momentum through a tack

[granite oxide]

The modding in there is insane.

[rough schooner]

Heck I even lower sails halfway through

[manic finch]

This game will not last when it's sailing and combat are so arcadey when Sea of Thieves does it proper.

[rough schooner]

Eh I'm fine with a bit of arcade

[narrow sentinel]

https://tenor.com/view/bait-thats-bait-tom-hardy-mad-max-gif-5055384

[ancient charm]

i never liked sea of theives

[rough schooner]

Like not everyone grew up sailing and understanding points of sail and how to catch the wind

[ancient charm]

i saw this game and immediately knew it was the pirate game i was looking for. sea thieves reminds me of fortnite. lol

[granite oxide]

Eevryone is intitled to their own opion, but the game will definitely last. Especially compared to previous games of similar type and what we already know is in the game from Alpha.

The pirate feel in Alpha alone was insane.

[ancient charm]

i agree that valheim could have done some things to be way better. but it's still a good game. even if dated now.

[rough schooner]

I've spent 30 hours just puttering around building and exploring and making my little bases.

[granite oxide]

also keep in mind - Valheim was developed by only a 5 person team.

[craggy cypress]

currently listenign to podcast/music whilst encrlcing my spawn island with a wall

[manic finch]

lol so it's graphics? wow lmao. The sailing and ship combat in SoT is what set it apart. Why does my ship in windrose go from 0-60 in nothing flat, turns on a dime, and cannons have no weight when fired. That's what makes a sailing game.

[dapper smelt]

I wasn't looking for another survival crafting game, since Return to Moria has been more than enough as of late, but here I am having played the demo and wanting more.

[rough schooner]

The only thing holding my builds back is gathering wood. I can mine out a mountain no problem but chasing after logs is a bit meh

[clever solar]

nah they are based in somalia

[ancient charm]

maybe they will improve those things with feedback

[manic finch]

Valheim did a lot really well, but it had 0 replayability. One swamp is exactly like all the others

[ancient charm]

we also need a way for coop players to be on the same ship and do battle, like guns of icarus

[granite oxide]

You are also just in the demo - and it was explained why it is that way in the demo here #💬│windrose-chat message It is still Alpha, you are assuming it is set and not changing. There is a lot of polish and work to be done still, relax lol

Early Access will probably show a lot of surprising things to many.

[narrow sentinel]

Sot is arguably very arcadey and unrealistic

[craggy cypress]

you know that ships irl can turn faster, even back in the day

[narrow sentinel]

Who needs realism in a pirate game anyways

Pirates were essentially homeless sea people

[reef nova]

everyone says they want realism but no one really does

[manic finch]

I really hope so, my friend group does too. We've been tired of SoT not bringing meaningful updates, but we aren't looking for co-op Black Flag. Fine for those who are, but I really feel like a better balance is there waiting for someone to do it.

[craggy cypress]

buddies drunk at sea

[ancient charm]

i never played sot, so i cant speak much, just from impressions i didn't like it when watching gameplay videos. and when i saw windrose i decided to try the demo and i like it. i especially like the handguns/musket, and their feel, and how they work.

[granite oxide]

It is already confirmed that Advanced Mechanics for players on the same ship will be in Early Access - But as to what that will be you will have to wait and find out - It's pretty cool.

[manic finch]

in some aspects, but not the sailing.

[narrow sentinel]

I dont mind sot but I do mind when people want all pirate games to be like sot

A lot of people want multicrew ships in Windrose

When these ships are mostly realistic in proportion, Sot gets away with it because its incredibly stylized

[manic finch]

I don't want all pirate games to be like SoT. I want the sailing to be like SoT. It has weight, impact, inertia. I feel like I'm sailing in SoT.

[ancient charm]

you could have a system theoretically that defaults to single pilot controlling guns now, and if a crewman is onboard they can take over the guns. or let you do both.

[rough schooner]

I'm honestly very flexible with however they decide to do the ships and crew and sailing. I'm down for a fun bits sailing game.

[narrow sentinel]

But even the smallest ship ingame has more guns than the galleon

[manic finch]

I've seen, and I hope they do this sooner rather than later.

[narrow sentinel]

Sot doesnt provide realistic sailing, yes it has wind direction and pretty water but realistically sailing is agonizingly slow

[granite oxide]

did you see my comment?

[narrow sentinel]

If you want realistic weight and feel play Naval Action that'll give a good taste

[soft token]

Been in town unable to play for two days. God I’m about to play an UNGODLY amount of this demo.

[ancient charm]

ahh, now i did, yeah nice

[manic finch]

I didn't say realistic. I said it has weight. It feels like sailing, not driving in tokyo drift.

[narrow sentinel]

I've also mentioned to the devs that the ships feel too fast and turn too fast as well

But they aren't floaty, like snb, I would say there is still weight its just the speed that feels otherwise

Snb ships feel like rc boats

[manic finch]

Perhaps that's the case. I just know that I feel like I'm driving and not sailing. But if they make it feel better and make co-op crewing for ships, I'd be a lot happier

[narrow sentinel]

I wish the ships were a bit slower but only by a few knots, I don't want to sail around going 10 knots in the 1st rate

[ancient charm]

22 knots is what?

top speed of a very fast ship with wind?

[narrow sentinel]

I'm not sure how they would do multicrew stuff, theres no way to make it like sots system

[ancient charm]

i think modern ships go 22 knots lol not sure what pirate ships did.

[manic finch]

It could also be the 3rd person. A First person camera helps give that sense of weight and inertia.

[narrow sentinel]

Typically around 10-12 knots, smaller ones maybe up to 18

[crimson onyx]

Hello guys when will the demo will end?

[narrow sentinel]

Press F

[manic finch]

I did, it only gave a bigger 3rd person view

[ancient charm]

oh my god, F

[narrow sentinel]

Ship third person needs to be changed too

[ancient charm]

thanks for telling me. 🤣 i wish that were more obvious.

[narrow sentinel]

When I look directly to the side of the ship, not upwards, you cant even see the hull. Just sails

[hardy temple]

hi all, is the hosting server issue to all or just me?

[ancient charm]

they could theoretically do something where you push F 3 times, and get a third camera angle.

[manic finch]

I don't think they need to. But allowing the players to interact with the sails or cannons in the stead of the AI (with AI filling where needed) would suffice.

[manic finch]

Would love that or just a seperate keybind for character going form 3rd to 1st (I'm sure I'm not alone in wanting to be able to play completely in 1st person

[hardy temple]

?

[ancient charm]

would be interesting if we could dive in the water too? maybe explore under water caves or cities?

that would certainly add depth to a pirate game 🤣

[narrow sentinel]

Maybe like officer postions? A player could control the masts by directing the crew instead of doing it himself to catch more wind, or another co op position on the ship that provides better reload for the cannons, theres a few things that could be done

I think most will be - just wait and see where it goes for Early Access 🙂

[ancient charm]

players in coop can help repair damage. aim and load guns... possibly more.

[kind raven]

when is the early access does anyone know

[hardy temple]

am i real

[kind raven]

i finished the demo and love the game cant wait for more

[granite oxide]

It's been talked about and the underwater potential is definitely there, however it isn't on the radar at the moment. But certainly a possibility.

[manic finch]

I was thinking this too, I wonder if it would be enough because that's not really interactive the way the helm is (or ship management in SoT which is what I've been trying to convey)

[granite oxide]

Try going through the steps in pinned messages 📌. Or here #💬│windrose-chat message For most it appears to be working fine. For many it is a Router and/or security issue with either firewall settings of shield wall. that is all We can suggest for now other than keep trying. They are monitoring co-op information and still investigating ways to improve on it.

[manic finch]

Potions for breathing would fit

[ancient charm]

there could be skills for holding breath longer too

[granite oxide]

Pearl Divin lol

[ancient charm]

irl some people can hold breath 8-10 minutes

[granite oxide]

Some have exceeded 20 mins

[hollow ridge]

Same here. Just wishlisted it.

[ancient charm]

i think i read 20 minutes, is assisted somehow

[granite oxide]

No not assisted

[atomic nexus]

hmmm a bit close

[kind raven]

thats why i wanted to know when early access was so i can clear my schedule lol

[granite oxide]

I'll DM you something thats pretty cool

[brave onyx]

Are the closed pearls useful?

[ancient charm]

The longest breath hold underwater is currently 29 minutes and 3 seconds, achieved by Croatian freediver Vitomir Maričić in August 2024. This record involves pre-breathing pure oxygen to increase the amount of oxygen stored in the body before the attempt.
i guess some people call, pre breathing pure o2, assisted. so thats what i meant.

i think its 12 minutes without that

[hollow ridge]

You can craft some alchemy items with them in the demo

[brave onyx]

I keep hitting use item and they just disappear. That's why I'm asking.

[manic finch]

Sorry if this has been discussed before and I know devs have said they are looking into ship customization in the future (like hull paint, figureheads etc), but what about ship building? Will all ships be repaired from a wreck, or are there plans for a NMS corvette style with premade pieces that we can put together in different combos?

[hidden goblet]

how long do things take to despawn?

[ancient charm]

ship building would elevate the game, but it would also increase scope, and they have a lot to do. potentially could come later?

[subtle blade]

So basically

[astral gyro]

Anyone far enough for flagship yet?
I'd like to know if it's shipbuilding or set ship type.
Also, are there trebuchets and/or ballistas or only cannons? Are there Mortars?
Just various things for different breeds of fun.

[subtle blade]

The reason dodos went extinct

Is because they have the attitude of an apex predator with the body of a penguin

[manic finch]

I would 100% be content with later as long as some sort of significant customization for ships exists sooner rather than later

[wary yacht]

This may have been answered but what's the general consensus for pricing?

[granite oxide]

@ancient charm sent it to you - you should enjoy that 🙂

[manic finch]

Set type for now, see my comment just a bit above

[astral gyro]

ah, ok

[unborn field]

So how do me and my buddy put the cannons on our ships we’re completely lost lmao

[regal remnant]

I can do 5

[ancient charm]

ship building would be very involved, 20 different hulls, different masts, different sails, different turn things, different head thingys...

whereas ship customization - colours, sail designs, emblems, ornamentation? could easily come very soon, and ship addons.

addons is totally different than ship building imo.

[regal remnant]

Yes that is assisted. Oxygen saturation prior to breathhold.

[dapper smelt]

The Wharf after crafting them.

[ancient charm]

ok cool i will check it out

[hidden goblet]

does anyone know how long items dropped take to despawn

[regal remnant]

This is correct (I’m a certified freediving instructor)

I do think freediving would be a cool part of the game. For pearls, treasure, etc.

[manic finch]

I'm not arguing that? I literally agreed with you...

[crystal lagoon]

Hey guys, so on our first island and then second Island there are two chest/loot which are underground. but I cant dig them up. is it a glitch or am I doing something wrong?

[ancient charm]

yeah i am not arguing either, i just over-analyze

[hidden goblet]

look for a group of sticks and use axe

[small tendon]

Did you make a shovel?

[dapper smelt]

There is a Shovel to dig up treasure.

[granite oxide]

We had a disassembly bench in Alpha, it was removed for Demo. It should make a return in Early Access. for now - drop it on the ground and dig under it and poof - or just make a trash server and dump it all there.

[crystal lagoon]

no, I didnt .. I didnt knew there was a shovel option.. thank you for sharing appreciate it

[fringe fable]

happened to me too, shovel has a submenu of options Attack, Dig, Flatten, Raise. Make sure you have dig selected

[ancient charm]

did anyone try dropping their backpack and then find they couldnt pickt it up again? happened to me.

[arctic bobcat]

damn caps, how do oyu create gunpowder, used all of mine taking out the big drowned sailor where you first spawn

[ancient charm]

one thing i love about the game is you can edit how your character looks, and their name at any time.

[fringe fable]

not in demo, unfortunately you will have to harvest from treasure or fighting other pirates

[dapper smelt]

Looting it from enemy camps is the main way in the demo.

[manic finch]

That's valid lol, I just know we were arguing earlier (I do really like this game which is why I critique it so much) so I was worried you were still arguing haha. But yes, I fully agree. I think getting customizations into EA asap would do wonders for the game (hopefully at EA launch to capture as many people as possible right out the gate) and more robust ship building down the road

[cinder grove]

This game seems fun but it won’t beat Valheim

[subtle blade]

Well, to each their own. I enjoy it more than Valheim.

[balmy fjord]

Valheim is 5 years older than this game, I think Windrose has a TON of potential to be ever better

[cinder grove]

All games have potential but if the devs don’t listen it turns into hot goy slop

[limpid canyon]

You have to craft a shovel

[manic finch]

I think pirates are more popular than vikings and being in Unreal the game looks gorgeous. I personally got very tired of Valheim after exploring every biome, but Windrose has a lot more going for it. From Treasure hunts, to sailing, and general pirating (I really hope there are merchant ships to attack and raid!), I think if the devs continue working hard and take the various feedback to heart (which from what I've seen is likely) then this game has huge potential

[grave quarry]

how i unlock foothills?

[granite oxide]

By playing in Early Access, it isn't in the demo.

[marsh oriole]

Personally- Pirates>Vikings 💯 - and ninjas too. I miss when like half of every game ran some sort of pirates vs. ninjas event back in the later 2000s

[surreal garden]

https://tenor.com/view/frog-hello-darkness-kermit-my-old-friend-drm-gif-9482307

[manic finch]

Well, to each their own, but for me it's pirates>space pirates>vikings>ninjas lol

[surreal garden]

set my new pc up and completely lost my save and all my hours put into my base and all my progress

[cinder grove]

https://tenor.com/view/vikings-minnesota-gif-27293256

[limpid canyon]

Can someone also tag the help for online again? I’m literally trying everything to get my online session to work again and can’t get it load without crashing

[oak bear]

I wonder if the devs are gonna make the game mod friendly cause that would be a huge win

[marsh oriole]

lol- I'm just remembering when a bunch of older games ran an event like that I'd always go pirate side(Runescape in the 2009s ish, adventure quest, Magic had a pirates vs ninjas themed set.. there's plenty more from a while back but I can't remember 'em all off the top of my head

[brave onyx]

Should I keep using these closed scallops?? I feel like I'm just making them disappear when I click "USE ITEM" on them.

[opaque trellis]

Chance for a pearl I think

[sick pollen]

They can give pearls that can be used as ammo

[soft badge]

chance for pearl for potions and ammo

[brave onyx]

ok thanks. I was worried that there was no use in the game yet and I was just "using" them for no reason.

[soft badge]

How you guys doing on your build comp builds?

[soft badge]

they may be auto dropping into your ammo bar next to the powder

[grave quarry]

early access is available ?

[subtle blade]

Being a moderator must be exhausting.

[frozen moth]

good night guys, i dont listening the game, someone help me? 🙁

[cyan veldt]

https://tenor.com/view/just-wake-up-gif-25010419

[brave onyx]

Just starting to play obviously. Any tips on where or how to find clay?

[frozen moth]

all setings is okey, anothers apps sound

[oak bear]

Near the coastline but towards the trees

[brave onyx]

Even on the starting island?

[oak bear]

Yeah

[static vessel]

Usually some pretty close to your starting spot

[marsh oriole]

looks like patches of mud if it's anything remotely dark out

[brave onyx]

Ok thanks guys. Must just be missing it.

[granite oxide]

[granite oxide]

Early Access will be announced in the #│announcements when it is time. See the latest post here #│announcements message from Yar_Master. As far as price and packages, that will most likely follow Early Access Release info.

[oak bear]

AYO?!?!

[granite oxide]

Clay

[fervent cloud]

Just finished the demo play killed someo f the level 4 ships. What a blast. I want more! Look forward to the launch

[soft token]

The problem with that, is it won’t work truly well if the game was never designed for first person to begin with. We see this from time to time when games add a first person mode cause people beg for it.

[brave onyx]

SUPER helpful! Thanks!

[smoky granite]

Will we keep any progress from the demo? Or will we have to start over when the game releases?

[oak bear]

Unfortunately not but it does make sense as it is a demo

[manic finch]

It really depends on the skill of the devs. Games have done it succesfully. Compromises are also possible, a wishlist is just that, a wishlist.

[granite oxide]

Characters, items and buildings will not transfer to the Early Access, it is part of the demo – different client, different game builds. So enjoy playing the demo for now until that time 🙂

[smoky granite]

yeah i figured, thanks.

[soft token]

Yeah but for a smaller team like this? That’s a big ask so late into development.

[oak bear]

I'm just excited for more of the game, there isn't many Pirate games out there that truly capture the feel I wanted that are multiplayer, ATLAS was good in my opinion but it still lacked things such as ship boarding unless you were playing pvp

[soft token]

Same idc what happens, I’m happy.

[oak bear]

Yeah same, I'm just not playing to much of the demo right now cause I don't want to spoil it for myself but the anticipation is killing me, there isn't any other game I wanna play xD

[manic finch]

The team is a decent size for an Indie team no? Besides, as you said it depends on how things work under the hood. At any rate, FPP when sailing should be fairly easy and is unlikely to cause issues since the character is stationary

[soft token]

Ima be honest. I thought ya’ll were referring to like out in the world walking around and standing on someone else’s ship and such not just while piloting the boat. My bad lol

[lusty dragon]

how does one get in to early accsess

[oak bear]

Its not out yet

[serene ibex]

you dont

[manic finch]

In an ideal world, I'm sure many people (like me would love a fluid (or at least mostly so) FPP for the whole game. But at a minimum I'd like it for sailing to add immersion (which for me, the sailing is the most important part in a pirate game)

[soft token]

Early access will be when the game “releases early”
Everyone will have access to it, you’ll just have to pay.
There is no early access right now. Only a demo.
When early access comes, just go to the games store page and buy it. You’ll get it for less than you would if you paid at full release.

[lusty dragon]

alr broha this game demo made me cream i cant wait bru for release

[serene forge]

Will there be support for mods and a dev kit to coincide with that?

[soft token]

Honestly I completely agree

[soft token]

Dude same lol I NEED IT!

[lusty dragon]

is there anyyyy like rumored early release

[manic finch]

I think the best we have is "before 2027"

[lusty dragon]

or unknown

[lusty dragon]

dang 😢

[violet latch]

anyone else slightly dislike the combat?

[hidden juniper]

at first yes... kept dying until I got used to it.

[violet latch]

same

[granite oxide]

You can see here #💬│windrose-chat message Yar_Master comments on the pics - Sneak peaks of what's to come 🙂

[serene ibex]

boars neeed to be buffed

[surreal swallow]

Are they gonna optimize this at all? How is this game MAXING out my CPU and GPU and crashing itself lmao

[manic finch]

I dislike the melee, I love the flintlocks (could use more smoke as I've seen suggested)

[violet latch]

im lvl 2 almost 3. its been a learning curve

[granite oxide]

It runs super smooth for me - and my game is maxed out and low drawl on gpu and cpu.

[violet latch]

anyone else come from atlas?

[lusty dragon]

yummy 😋

[limpid canyon]

I like the melee, it’s pretty easy honestly once you learn the basics of blocking an parrying

[cold coyote]

When the Early Access releases, will we have to start a new game or can we continue from where we left off?

[manic finch]

I got used to it, but it's still a little stiff

[surreal swallow]

I don't see how that's possible. I have a 5080, it shouldn't be sweating this at all.

[manic finch]

new game

[granite oxide]

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 the #│announcements when it is time. See the latest post here #│announcements message from Yar_Master. As far as price and packages, that will most likely follow Early Access Release info.

Also, characters, items and buildings will not transfer to the Early Access, it is part of the demo – different client, different game builds. So enjoy playing the demo for now until that time 🙂

Lot of Optimization is being worked on.

[violet latch]

this game has a lot of potenial

[manic finch]

I have a ryzen 9 7900x3D and a 4080FE, I was getting 100+fps with rare frame dips and no stutters or freezes.

[surreal swallow]

Maybe we can compare settings or something? It has to be something I'm doing wrong.

[violet latch]

i let the game pick the settings and it runs nice

[manic finch]

My ingame settings are all maxed. I don't OC. I also have 32 GB 5200mhz ram

Edit: Do you OC? I saw someone on Steam forums have similar issue but they said they OC

[violet latch]

did you change the ram mhz?

my pc had a problem when i tried to up the ram mhz closer to the advertised speeds its capable of.

[lusty dragon]

mine runs like butter aswel i have 5070ti and ryzen 7800x3d on maxxed graphics stable 120fps

[violet latch]

had tp put it back down to the default

[surreal swallow]

I don't think I do, at least not deliberately.

[violet latch]

you dont accidentaly do that lol you have to changeit in the bios

[surreal swallow]

I haven't done that.

[manic finch]

what CPU do you have?

[surreal swallow]

Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX

32GB DDR5-5600 RAM

[violet latch]

ryzen 7 7800 x3d

[manic finch]

Graphics drivers up to date?

[surreal swallow]

Yep

[violet latch]

well thanks for chatting im goin to dive back in now.

[manic finch]

Beats me then. A beast of a rig, but I can assure you the game is actually very well optimized (for how early it is and the size of the team)

[granite oxide]

Definitely the best optimized demo I have ever played.

[manic finch]

This and the Enshrouded playtest right before EA
Edit: Sign of a good dev team imo

[viscid carbon]

Did a run through on PC worked pretty flawlessly. Now doing a run through on my MSI Claw

[quaint sapphire]

https://klipy.com/gifs/are-we-there-yet-7

[oak bear]

I do have hope that we will be seeing Early Access sooner rather than later even though we don't have a confirmed date. I bet the Dev team is locked in right now with all the positive feed back they keep getting. If any Dev reads this, keep up the amazing work you've done so far!

[manic finch]

windows

[granite oxide]

That isn't anything we can really help with. Only thing I could think of is part of it being a space on drive for the factory files and windows.

[tardy flower]

are all the mods here game devs?

[manic finch]

This still isn't really the place, go to tom's hardware or something

[granite oxide]

no but factory files on a seperate or ghost partition does add up .

I do hope you get it figured out 🙂

[granite oxide]

No, none of the Mods are game Dev's, We are all Volunteers giving time and effort to a project that we believe in. It is truly an amazing Dev team of very dedicated individuals.

One of the best I've had the pleasure of participating with.

[lament hamlet]

how many devs are there

[tardy flower]

its definetly a great demo

[tawny plover]

got a tree on my head- but dont call me a treehead

[granite oxide]

Well just to clarify that was @manic finch that said that and he is not a Mod, just was being friendly trying to help , then making a point.

[shadow vault]

Hey all. Is there a specific room for multiplayer help? My GF and I can't seem to figure out how toy host a game.

[true drift]

hi all
Quick question lol, was i really high or is there a fpv? or has it always been third?

[manic finch]

Which I wasn't trying to come off as rude, just trying to suggest a quicker way to get help

Edit: and sincere apologies if I caused trouble

[tawny plover]

you have to toggle it to public before starting the match- invite code is how shell find your game

[fringe fable]

y'all, I have to be honest. I haven't been this satisfied with a building system since Minecraft

[granite oxide]

You were spot on -I didnt see you coming across as rude at all.

[fringe fable]

and we literally only have like...a bunch of sticks and some rocks

[shadow vault]

Ok. Cool. How do I toggle it?

[olive sentinel]

My guess is a summer release, give or take 5 months

[proper idol]

3 months or so would be good

Don't want it rushed

[tawny plover]

i think adding an expandable parameter to the bonfire reserved for militaristic activies would be sick - especially if we have to defend our base at some point

[oak bear]

I'm more optimistic, I am guessing April-May

[lament hamlet]

I mean the game is already there. We only were given a part of it to try out in the demo. Just give them a few months to optimize everything for a grand reveal

[manic finch]

Would love to have cannons on ramparts with crew to automatically defend. Then could be like reverse Black Flag raids (I'd say with server settings on difficulty, I want them to happen, but with my crew able to handle it if I've built up enough)

[royal vault]

havent been great with keeping up but is an actual early access date out yet?

[oak bear]

They already have an in game asset for what we get for playing the Demo in Early Access, My guess is the EA build is actively being worked on and polished up, maybe adding a few things in as well but from the look of the most recent trailer, which looked to be done in game, alot is already there, what surprised me was seeing the Brethern ships in the background, gave me a pirates of the carribean vibe

[frigid lagoon]

Not yet

[manic finch]

Ohh we get a special item in EA for Demo participation?!

[oak bear]

Yeah its a Spyglass for our bases

[frigid lagoon]

Do you have a link to this video? I'd like to see it.

[lament hamlet]

we get a spyglass

[manic finch]

is it functional or cosmetic?

[lament hamlet]

decoration

[naive hinge]

i made a ticket in Bug category about Display HDR , please vote if you have same issue ❤️

[granite oxide]

No worries mate, he will not be an issue anymore. Appreciate you trying to help and you were spot on.

[lament hamlet]

maybe we'll get more in the future, hoping for cosmetics

[manic finch]

Damn. Still looks cool! Would love to be able to look through it though

[oak bear]

We might get an in game item for that to use

[olive sentinel]

I do hope we get a spyglass, I would like to sit in the Crow's nest of my friends ship and scout for the group

[frigid lagoon]

A functional spyglass would be awesome to put on a pair or rock!!

[shadow vault]

I don't see anywhere to toggle to make my server public

[naive hinge]

the spyglass look like a deco

[olive sentinel]

Cause these aren't servers. It's player host worlds

[frigid lagoon]

I do wish there was a wider variety of colors when building

[olive sentinel]

You host the world, max 3 others can join, if you exit game the world closes

[lament hamlet]

it is... for now at least maybe

[shadow vault]

I understand that. But my GF can't connect

[olive sentinel]

Check the pins for possible fixes. if you're using a password, try not using one

[granite oxide]

Try going through the steps in pinned messages 📌. Or here #💬│windrose-chat message For most it appears to be working fine. For many it is a Router and/or security issue with either firewall settings of shield wall. That is all We can suggest for now other than keep trying. They are monitoring co-op information and still investigating ways to improve on it.

[frigid lagoon]

Will we get server options so more than 4 ppl can play when actually released?

[olive sentinel]

All we know is they've tried 20 people and it was quote "Rough"
My guess is 6-10 maybe

[shadow vault]

Where are the pinned messages? (sorry, I'm new to Discord)

[frigid lagoon]

Fair enough, hopefully that is a quirk they can work in later down the road!!

[tardy flower]

is it possible to walk slower than the non-sprint speed?

[lament hamlet]

20 people can remove an island in just a few mins lol

[olive sentinel]

At the top of discord

[granite oxide]

They stress tested 20 internally and the mod group tested a smaller number, so numbers are possible. But we currently do not have dedicated servers and it needed a bit more optimization and polish. So for the demo it was kept to 4. What those numbers will be on Early Access we and the Dev's have no idea at this point. So will just have to wait and see.

[naive hinge]

spyglass is available if you complete demo at 100% or you just need to play some minutes ? 🤦‍♂️

[shadow vault]

Ah! Ok. Thanks!

[frigid lagoon]

Thank you!! 🙏👍☺️

[granite oxide]

Just playing it - do not have to be to any completion.

[manic finch]

I saw in the FAQ that there will be NPCs in base to help gather/craft, as well as a merchant. Are there plans for ports towns and merchant vessels? (The latter for raiding of course)

[olive sentinel]

Honestly 6-10 is a sweet spot, you can make lots of ideas for events with 2v2v2, 3v3, 4v4 etc

[frigid lagoon]

If play through doesn't carry over from demo how will they know who has played to get it?

[oak bear]

Steam

[granite oxide]

They can track who has loaded in and played 🙂

[frigid lagoon]

This would be a cool idea!!

[olive sentinel]

https://tenor.com/view/tanya-tanya-the-evil-coffee-anime-gif-1921273594996519691

[granite oxide]

But just to toss it back in, it is confirmed that for those that like to sail on one ship together, There will be Advanced Options in Early Access. As to what those options are - you will just have to be like a kid at Christmas staring at a package and wonder what it could be, because till Early Access it's a secret 😛

[olive sentinel]

As long as I get a crows nest, I'll be happy

[lament hamlet]

man once theres trading, id love to just go and pirate every npc.. maybe like SOT..

[oak bear]

Don't tell us what it is but do you know??

[oak bear]

They knows something we don't

[manic finch]

Personally I'd prefer for a fence at the base to sell, but have to go to a port town to buy (or at least limited inventory or high mark ups from fence)

[naive hinge]

for me, the demo is 100% complete, so worry

[frigid lagoon]

Excellent, cause I hate sailing the ship. I struggle with it so hard especially since you really can't get it to "stop" or lay anchor

[tardy flower]

cant wait for horizontal beams

[granite oxide]

In Alpha we had Npc's in our camp and a couple we could send on resource gathering. We know you'll be able to gear them, and there will be some you'll be able to go and hire, they will have stats, etc. and you should be able to level them up. What else they have in store will be something to wait for Early Access on.

[lament hamlet]

i need to craft gunpowder... i cant go raiding those sailors everytime

[manic finch]

The FAQ says merchant as well, which is why I brought it up! I'll make a feedback post for it

[distant hill]

I seriously hope they drop EA soon

[granite oxide]

Make another world - find the first ground spot you go into with 1 mob loot it - repeat

[olive sentinel]

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

[distant hill]

https://tenor.com/view/stubborn-mad-gif-26485932

[lament hamlet]

takes me a while lol, i just hope it gets added into the demo wherein we can craft it

[olive sentinel]

Doubtful

It wasn't added for a reason, not just cause they didn't want it in

[naive hinge]

@lament hamlet for me best gameplay without gunpowder in Area 1 but it's my opinion

[oak bear]

Gunpowders Crafting was broken for the Demo but we will be able to craft it

[high trellis]

So, when does this demo get ripped away from us? I will cry

[lament hamlet]

well true guns can be a bit boring. game is much more fun with melee

[oak bear]

When EA comes out

[olive sentinel]

Whenever EA drops

[abstract aspen]

the devs said it a while ago that there's something they have planned for coop sailing but don't want to spoil it. That's what we know lol

[lament hamlet]

guns aside, what i want most is ship customization

[tardy flower]

people been saying this game has everything they wanted in it, but ive yet to see A SINGLE SPACE SHIP in the game

[kind radish]

why does this game not let my freind into my server its the one thing killing this game for me

[frigid lagoon]

I can't wait!!

[lament hamlet]

i hope the game releases when i get a new job

[frigid lagoon]

We really need more colors added in when it comes to building options as well as stone floor options, stone ramp options. I did find a cool floor panel I made with the wood. It's tedious but it really looked good!!

[lament hamlet]

i bet theyd price the game maybe around $20-$50

[olive sentinel]

My guess is around the same market for similar games. 25.99-39.99

[lament hamlet]

more customizations is a huge +

[frigid lagoon]

Created floor pattern I made that I absolutely love!!

[distant hill]

At this point idc what price it is, I've paid more for other games hahah at this point the day I see the notification of when it will release in EA will be a happy happy day. Hell I've gone to play some Sea of Thieves just to get a tiny fix for it but that hole cannot be filled until it releases

[granite oxide]

What is in the demo isn't even full sets. We had full sets in Alpha, but they have added even more pieces to those full sets. We wish we could share what they are but that will have to wait for Early Access 🙂 There are other sets you haven't seen yet, including some things to go with the pic of windows we previously shared, so a lot building pieces to look forward to.

[worn jolt]

sure they will let us know the prtice

[oak bear]

RIGHT?!?! There's nothing else I want to play right now

[olive sentinel]

Make sure to checkout #1298615271686279208 and also upvote any good ideas yall want added or agree with

[worn jolt]

when it comes time all i want to do is play this gme as well lol

[frigid lagoon]

I was going to ask if you can pics but I'm sure an NDA was sign to keep game development hussed to surprise us later.

[distant hill]

Exactly!!! I am at the point where I am bored hahahah

[abstract aspen]

watch the newest trailer. It has new stuff for building in it lol

[lament hamlet]

yeah i get on my PC, just seeing all my other games but here i just wait for windrose' release

[oak bear]

I've been waiting since I heard about the game when it was called Crosswinds, just hopping one day after the other it would just drop in Early Access

[granite oxide]

only one we can share is what Yar_Master shared already

[grizzled flower]

Can we not setup farming right now in the demo?

[sonic patrol]

id love to play....but my game still is stuck on the loading screen for the menu

[oak bear]

Yupp like the closest thing I could play to it would be ATLAS but I have nobody to play that with and its not really the same experience, plust a 100gb game

[granite oxide]

no not in demo, it is definitely already in game.

[distant hill]

Same here, I think i check the discord every hour when I am awake to see if there is any news or hints as to when we might expect the Early Access. In my experience though usually after an Alpha and a demo when a game is so hyped they don't let you wait for to long

[granite oxide]

Fishing too 🙂

[high idol]

yeah atlas being 130gb really surprised me

[distant mountain]

It’s Jerry

[grizzled flower]

Oh dang already in game but not available for me to aura farm.

[olive sentinel]

Is fishing static set location? Or can you fish while the ship is sailing?

[trim atlas]

basic question when you are aiming at BB ketch does red mean to far or just you won't hit

[granite oxide]

Didn't suprise me - It was the same buggy core code of Ark. They never fixed the issues, just built a patch on top of the previous patch, on top of that patch, and so on lol

[lament hamlet]

the moment the game Naval Action died, i heard of Crosswinds and goddamn i fell in love... thought it was removed from steam when they changed the name to windrose lol.. and happy days a demo was released

[long forge]

is there any news on whether the demo for windrose is continuing after next fest, or is it ending tomorrow?

[high idol]

yeah its super buggy even nowadays
Great potential just fell off

[olive sentinel]

Stays on steam till EA release

[distant mountain]

I think it would end when that ends

[oak bear]

I used to play back on Xbox when it first came out in EA for a long time, Used to be on the official PVP servers, I had alot of good times on it but I had even more fun when I played on my own server with some mods on PC. Was able to build some really cool stuff

[olive brook]

Adding sea moster like kraken would be cool

[frigid lagoon]

I will be using these ALLLL the time!!

[tiny depot]

it's kind of a must for the setting

[olive sentinel]

Can you fish while the ship is sailing? or do you have to be in a still location?

[lament hamlet]

i doubt there wouldnt be one judging by the fact that we already face monsters

[oak bear]

Damn.. I just thought of a really cool idea

[granite oxide]

That I don't recall, I think as long as you were by water you could fish. Maybe one the other mods can clarify that as to be honest I can't remember lol

@fast orchid do you recall this one?

[olive sentinel]

The only fishing I saw was near beach/rocks. So I'm curious if you can fish on your ship or while it's moving

[oak bear]

Be really cool to have a player built Tortuga

[olive brook]

there is never enough monster 😉

[tiny depot]

I'd imagine it's a daunting task though, to implement sth like a kraken and have it be good. still a must have though imo

[fast orchid]

Correct

[olive sentinel]

If they do add a monster, IT BETTER BE a colossi style, that can't be killed and more to run/avoid

[olive sentinel]

So is that a yes or no to while sailing or on a ship?

[granite oxide]

ok Seaweaver just clarified what I was remembering.

[fast orchid]

I believe while sailing was fine

[granite oxide]

I was thinking as long as we were near water, be it ship or land it was fine. Couldn't remember the ship part.

[lament hamlet]

would be cool if the members on board the ship would also help fish if sailing

[olive sentinel]

Cool, I would love to fish while a friend is sailing the ship

[tiny depot]

is anyone here who played the play test?

[granite oxide]

The Alpha playtest yes.

[olive brook]

i played the test

[unborn field]

Where what do we do with the contraband crates and stuff you get from the ships.

[tiny depot]

were there bigger waves or storms in it?

[granite oxide]

The storms can get pretty rough sometimes yes

[tiny depot]

awesome! have you or any of you guys uploaded some footage?

[manic finch]

I feel like ever since Pirates of the Carribean 2, having a pirate game w/o a kraken (at some point) is tantamount to blasphemy lol

[granite oxide]

In the playtest I was able to sail an hour out and back easily and still had lot more sailing to do, just for a concept of scale.

[lament hamlet]

throw it.. for now

[granite oxide]

there should be a lot of footage on Youtube for what was Crosswind Playtest, Prior to it being changed to Windrose. Was no NDA on the last Alpha.

[tiny depot]

that's good, I feel like the demo islands are a bit too close together for my tast. I also think the view distance is a bit short. Was any of that different in the alpha?

[tiny depot]

I'll see if I find a storm

[lament hamlet]

using the ketch? or is there another ship

[frigid lagoon]

It would be cool if if you could net fish as well

[granite oxide]

Well for scale we had 13 islands in the last playtest, some of those islands easily swallowed all 3 of the demo islands.

[manic finch]

I believe the 3 demo islands are an archipelago

[frigid lagoon]

I thought I saw it somewhere that you can sell them. I'm not 💯% sure though

[oak bear]

Since you've played Atlas, were they similar in how they damaged your ship?

[tiny depot]

hell yeah, some passive fishing while sailing

[granite oxide]

Was another ship that isn't in now they took it out, but theres lot more ships now than we had in Alpha, so all good. 🙂

[manic finch]

Do you mean ship designs or ship types?

[frigid lagoon]

It wouldn't hurt to put a few Sirens into the mix either!!

[lament hamlet]

i mean changing the design of sail ships would also be changing the type right lol

[manic finch]

I was thinking types as in ship of the line, schooners, frigates, sloops, etc

[frigid lagoon]

I do wish when at certain angles the sails and masts would become transparent so I could see better!!

[manic finch]

I've seen screenshots of different aesthetic designs, skins if you will, of the ships

[lament hamlet]

yeah those

[granite oxide]

Different Mechanics - you had panels and what not coming off your ship in Atlas from custom stuff people made - it was fun and at times frustrating - some the stupid designs should have never been allowed on water lol In Here you don't see that because they are not using a build from scratch system. They tried it and it would take a lot to get working to where they want it with AI pathing and boarding. So The system they have now is you have to be aware of your ship damage and use repair kits, make sure its upgraded, crew upgraded, you upgraded, etc. I personally prefer the AI pathing on ship and boarding mechanic over what we had in Atlas. Also there will be customizations to ships and other things to make them look different. Will have to wait for Early Access for that. But they teased these.

[manic finch]

This is what I meant by designs

[lament hamlet]

i get ur point now mb

[manic finch]

no worries!

[frigid lagoon]

These will be in the game?

[granite oxide]

You will have different blueprints of different ships to unlock.

[granite oxide]

Yes

[oak bear]

Yeah I agree that having a plank get stripped from your ship then having to run all the way down to where ever it was and replace it on the open waters was a pain, I really like the choice of the combat repair kits, I was just wondering if the ship took some damage to health in really bad storms or if there was any enviromental hazards

[lament hamlet]

lol i wonder if there ever will be a 1st rate in the game

[manic finch]

Do you know/ can you say what the different ship classes are

[coral mist]

atlas did alot of things that have been cool its just a shame that A they followed to hard on the ark stuff and B snail games shut it down

[frigid lagoon]

Definitely more excited now!!

[lament hamlet]

^

[granite oxide]

Not from storms currently- but from enemy ships yes. Not sure where they going to take it going forward, but as it stands not from storms. Atlas was stupid with the Vortex storms - all you had to do was look backwards and steer straight and it was nothing.. I hated those

[oak bear]

LMAO I Never knew that, I just went like Captain Barbosa would and sailed straight through them

[coral mist]

you mean the homing torpedoes that zoom in on u no metter where u stear to

[lament hamlet]

yall making me wanna watch potc again

[oak bear]

Literally me on ATLAS and willd be on this game, I'm a mad Pirate Captain xD

[granite oxide]

Well on the Ark stuff, the Atlas Dev's were Ark Dev's. basically 2 teams of people that couldn't agree on the direction of game and a group left to make Atlas - taking the buggy Ark code up to a point with them. The other team kept their buggy code and went the other direction. It is why they had so many similarities - same base game code to work from.

[manic finch]

Lmao same, if I were I pirate I would be Barbosa 100%

[coral mist]

storms did pracicly nothing to ur ship tbh only issue that comes with it is higher waves so if u are near a cove and u want to anchor yeah..... it might not be deep enought and the ship wil just have its keel planks blown off XD

[manic finch]

Idk why it gets flak, but At Worlds End is one of my all time favorite movies, number 1 for pirate movies

[azure cosmos]

mornin' swabbies

[lament hamlet]

at worlds end was the best for me too

[ebon osprey]

peep the note about Atlas on Steam

[coral mist]

it was a terrible game but alot of us called it home me included

[abstract aspen]

that's one toxic relationship though haha

[lament hamlet]

its already 2yrs... God time is quick

[abstract aspen]

but I've been there..done that

[oak bear]

I mean until this game, ATLAS felt like the only Pirate Multiplayer game out there, at least that I heard of and played. I preffered it over Ark Survival

[manic finch]

I miss Pirates of the Caribbean Online

[ebon osprey]

I'm Windrose all the way; Just saw everyone talking about Atlas so I looked it up and they haven't even updated their EA description aka very dead game

[granite oxide]

Atlas closed down some time ago.

[coral mist]

the exploration was brilliant espacialy the polar biom where u got chased by Oceanliner sized Monster whales who aggro on to ur boat xD

[abstract aspen]

as a seal i would've peed myself lol

[lament hamlet]

https://tenor.com/view/pirates-of-the-caribbean-at-world's-end-destruction-drama-gif-8376423295942433715

[abstract aspen]

I can see that stuff being a ton of fun and chaotic moments

[oak bear]

Me as well, I have been waiting for this game since I heard about it, but its always good to reminisce on what came before and as other have said a terrible game or a toxic relationship lmao But definitely some crazy memories

[coral mist]

i hope windrose does that to add giant whales and a kraken it would be cool

[manic finch]

It's just.. good business.

[lament hamlet]

i wanna experience this feeling as i venture to the seas where its full of extremely high level npcs lol

[oak bear]

Already from the Demo I can tell this game is more polished

[abstract aspen]

as long as i can hunt these down eventually, I'm in!

[coral mist]

because - Part of being sailor is the stories they tell when they return to shores

[granite oxide]

Lot games I spent time in closed down, New World, Aika Online, Rising Force Online, Ashes of creation and many others, but worst one was Everquest Landmark... I'm still bummed on that one..

[coral mist]

ye that would be cool haha

[granite oxide]

A lot of people don't realize how rough the game industry is right now.

[frigid lagoon]

Was it good? Could you build and stuff in that game?

[abstract aspen]

someone mentioned something unkillable earlier.. I'm never a fan of these. Extremely hard to kill or "impossible" when you meet it for the first time is fine. but i don't want an invincible force. Lemme hunt whatever was a pain in the butt to me.

[lethal comet]

perfect example, Ashes of Creation

[subtle blade]

Who doesn't?

[oak bear]

Yeah its not in a good state which is why its amazing to see smaller studios and devs bring something that people have wanted for a long time

[frigid lagoon]

Just another typical Manic Monday!

[oak bear]

LITERALLY DOING WHAT UBISOFT COULDN'T

[manic finch]

It was good for an early 2000's mmo in the PoTC universe! IMo at least, but no building or anything. Just traditional MMO stuff with ships

[subtle blade]

It seems to me that the games industry being rough RN is common knowledge?

[coral mist]

iv always like that about atlas how terryfing the seas was with big hammerhead megladon sharks agressive whales gentle blue whales and even like eels and jellyfish and the ocean gets dark rly quickly and in the deep i found big angler fish it was pretty impressive

[granite oxide]

Not to most people. Only those that really keep up with The developers and the companies behind the games. To the Average player, all they care about is having something to play lol

[oak bear]

Yeah I never liked diving but did it for the gold

[subtle blade]

Huh... Weird.

[dim cairn]

I have to say. HOLY SHNIKEYS I CANT WAIT FOR THIS GAME

[coral mist]

always that one guy moving up to the dving rig and clicking de equip XD

[subtle blade]

People talking about Atlas just makes me sad. 😭 What could've been...

[zealous kite]

I'm sad that I have to wait...this game scratched that pirate itch in a way that just isn't appropriate

[oak bear]

I did that to my buddy once cause a Fleet of the Damned showed up near us and I had to start sailing away, I ended up going back for him and fortunately managed to save him

[dim cairn]

I had to stop playing the demo to save some of the special sauce for release. I put 7 hours into the demo. You devs are making something special here ❤️ i got my gf and brother to play Sea of thieves all day because I needed to weene myself off of the Crack that is Windrose

[coral mist]

amen to that but alas... not even non dedicated can fix the mess the devs left behind...

[rugged vapor]

The demo has been amazingly good, hasn't it? Longer than a lot of demo's I've seen in the past, where you played for 30 minutes to an hour

[coral mist]

the red ones hitted pretty hard xd

[subtle blade]

MHS3 demo was also really good.

[oak bear]

The last time I played it, I was hosting a server with friends, we were playing with a few mods that enhanced the game. The biggest one was called Klingers which added other ship types in and there was one that changed the Ships of the Damned to different types of Pirate ships

[dim cairn]

Ngl, farm to table.. pretty fire as well 😅

[coral mist]

did it aswel klinger mods on blackwood made blackwood actualy playeble

[oak bear]

We did the full ATLAS because I wanted to be able to explore the full map, I never played on Black Wood before

[shell leaf]

They need to smooth the fighting mechanics in this game like assassin's creed.

[steel summit]

what realse date?

[coral mist]

ye we tried that with the latist ocean maps but its so buggy crossed 5 grit game crashed and auto deleted al of our stuff

[coral mist]

unknown yet, but i hope soon haha

[oak bear]

How big is Blackwood?

[granite oxide]

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 the #│announcements when it is time. See the latest post here #│announcements message from Yar_Master. As far as price and packages, that will most likely follow Early Access Release info.

Also, characters, items and buildings will not transfer to the Early Access, it is part of the demo – different client, different game builds. So enjoy playing the demo for now until that time 🙂

[shell leaf]

Some players have access to old maps? This demo was released long ago?

[coral mist]

its like a single map grid with diff islands that reprisent islands from bioms in the ocean map, we did it cuz of better tether distence, and on of the klinger mods adds a island in the middle with vendors quests etc pretty good

[manic finch]

They're talking about a different game i believe

[shell leaf]

Oh ok

[oak bear]

Oh bro you can turn the Teather distance off for one grid

[coral mist]

pretty mutch thats why it works for coo op

[oak bear]

I had it set up so me and my friend theorically could be on different islands in the same grid

[granite oxide]

The islands have changed some but some of them were pretty good sized.

[oak bear]

I wish I still had the pictures, we both had ships of the line

[coral mist]

so did we it was kindof cool cuz ocean just gives so mutch issuese when u grid cross

[granite oxide]

you compare that to one the current ones

[frigid lagoon]

Don't worry about saving. The progress you make now isn't going to carry.

[coral mist]

its not going to carry infact if u delete the demo everything is gone xd

[granite oxide]

The progress isn't going to carry XD

[oak bear]

We figured out sailing through grids, you would have to be near eachother and the host of the session goes through while the other ships stop

[abstract aspen]

i reinstalled recently and didn't lose anything..if i delete the files.. that would most likely wipe it haha

[granite oxide]

Another major thing about Windrose - there isn't loading screens between grids. I hated that about Atlas...

[coral mist]

ohh damn thats good atleast

[frigid lagoon]

I meant to say it wouldn't carry over. I'm gonna go fix that!! Stupid fat ringers I swear!!

[oak bear]

Yes I did too, I saw the Mountain in the distance and tried sailing to it but got told my ship was going to get destroyed lol

[coral mist]

and the ships dont look like those stupid ugly modular ships they did a great job on the ship disign in windrose

[granite oxide]

Well the demo is just having that boundary to cushion the demo, not anything really past the boundary but barren isles. In The Early Access we will get a lot more than what we had in the Alpha.

[abstract aspen]

the sound design of the ships groaning and creaking is so good too

id personally like more oomph on the cannons tho (in terms of sound)

[coral mist]

i swear to god that figurehead on the windross frigate that ws shown looks lik c'thulu it should be INSTA unlock for free for anyone who played atlas so the mental torment is rewarded😂

[frigid lagoon]

Oooooo, Will we be able to tame animals in this game?

[oak bear]

I always made my ships look proper on Atlas, I hated seeing what some people did to their ships. The biggest thing that bugged me is the rigging wasn't done properly and we didn't have any triangle sales. Oh and about the figure head and wheel pic YUP Instantly reminded of Atlas

[coral mist]

hope so... i want a boar to slingshot human npcs into the air fingers crossed

[abstract aspen]

there was a pet boar iirc

[coral mist]

XD i agree i did the same and ppl with their bloody F1 wings on their schooners and brigs horrible🤮

[granite oxide]

People have requested pets. In Early Alpha they had 3 basic simple pets, one was a parrot, I don't recall what the other was - this was the 1st Alpha back in Nov 2024. So could be at some point, but what it entails or what will be if they put it in, no idea at this point, but we didn't have it in last Alpha.

[abstract sage]

is there more than 3 island and 1 biome as for now ?

[spark terrace]

That's all that's in the demo.

[abstract sage]

ok thx

[coral mist]

i call the WR boars Cannonboars for a reason XD cuz when they charge and hit u u get yeeted into space

[tawny plover]

biome count for full game isnt confirmed either but yeah just the one as it stands

[abstract sage]

and is it relevant to board a ship ? i mean i did killed a few guys but they just always respawn then i came back on my ship shot another canon and they sinked

[granite oxide]

Not for demo. We had multiple Biomes in last Alpha and 13 islands. But more biomes and possibly other islands have since been added in, Will have to wait and see 🙂

[coral mist]

so yes using that on npcs would be cool

[tawny plover]

boarding gives more rewards but ive noticed i get more repair kits when i just blow the boat up

[oak bear]

I wish I had a picture of my Ship of the Line I made or the Galleon I had back on official PVP

[coral mist]

https://tenor.com/view/loki-thor-ragnarok-yes-thats-how-it-feels-tom-hiddleston-gif-23706109

[abstract sage]

and how do you get rid of them by boarding the ship , i mean i killed a lot of them but nothing happens

[coral mist]

i had one of these to amazing things like 112 guns in total insane

[frigid lagoon]

I'd like then to add parrots, jungle cats, jungle cows, chickens, scorpions and snakes.

[granite oxide]

upgrading your ship and personal gears, food and potions, repair kits helps a lot. They will eventually surrender you kill enough. The trick is to let the crew go ahead first - by your time and choose targets carefully - return to ship and use potions if you have too.

[coral mist]

super boars to ride and charge attack with plssss

[oak bear]

Yupp! I always had my ship as a gunship, I think I had around the same amount on mine, my buddy had his with only 100 but he had 1 deck of just heavy cannons and mortars

[abstract sage]

ok thx

[coral mist]

old indiaman mod was pretty cool to

although it was mega OP rarely took dmg insane damage stat per lvl and had the topspeed of a Sea bugatti

[dapper smelt]

When boarding a number of enemies to kill is indicated to finish a boarding action. Rewards a given for completing a boarding action.

[oak bear]

I never played with that one before but that would have been awesome

[royal vault]

Rescued a sailor but he just stays in the cage? Does he just chill there until I rescue them all?

[coral mist]

i still have my SoTL screen shots XD

[frigid lagoon]

I would totally hold boar raising contests!!

[oak bear]

Lemme see it!

[granite oxide]

Watch the map check list, if the cages are marked green as completed they will be back at the ship when you get everything ready.

[abstract sage]

ok i didnt noticed the indication

[coral mist]

bettter ''a who could yeet the npc the farthest away contest''

[coral mist]

lemme look i have to share them in offtopic tho sins im not allowed to do it in this chat

[oak bear]

Sure

[frigid lagoon]

I'd pay money to watch this!!

[dapper smelt]

The number of kills has been 7, but I am not sure if it is higher for larger ships.

[elfin pier]

When the demo ends

[ebon osprey]

I think they mean; Does the demo end at the end of Steam Fest?

[coral mist]

putted one in xd

[tidal aspen]

https://tenor.com/view/skyrim-giant-lift-off-blast-off-low-earth-orbit-gif-13934296

[elfin pier]

Yes

[brittle tulip]

The demo will be live until early access is released

[elfin pier]

Means demo stays forever?

[brittle tulip]

until early access comes out yes

[elfin pier]

Dangggg

Just like other game poiners capital is demo forever too

[open ingot]

Add to #1298615271686279208

[granite oxide]

A tip for those doing the building contest on pictures. Same spot here 3 differences. Turning the UI off ( / key for most) and putting your character up against something to your back pushes the camera forward. This works great if you need to build a high point to take a picture from - just put a pole or something at your back. See the Building Competition here #│announcements message Would love to see everyone participate.

[open ingot]

No not forever. The devs already did 2 alphas and have made a lot of progress in the development of the game. Devs have every incentive to not only get this game into EA, but also do EA well.

[frigid lagoon]

I've already add a couple things already, I don't want to flood the feedback channel and ppl feel like they are getting spammed.

[coral mist]

execly xd

[granite oxide]

Be sure when you ready to fill out the player survey here.

[void hollow]

Will EA be the whole game? Or just a group of islands at a time, slowly building up to the whole game?

[granite oxide]

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 the #│announcements when it is time. See the latest post here #│announcements message from Yar_Master. As far as price and packages, that will most likely follow Early Access Release info.

Also, characters, items and buildings will not transfer to the Early Access, it is part of the demo – different client, different game builds. So enjoy playing the demo for now until that time 🙂

[cold nimbus]

where do i enter the comp for the base ?

[granite oxide]

#│announcements message read this post here 🙂

[frigid lagoon]

Thank you!!

[soft badge]

Working on that comp build already. Loved making the brothel but this one will be go big or go home lol

[granite oxide]

Good Night all, Y'all be kind now 🙂

[frigid lagoon]

Good night!! 😴

[ocean cobalt]

is there any way to turn off in game chat?

[hasty roost]

Good Timezone scallywags

[timid crescent]

Good timezone to you

[hasty roost]

Like. 4-5 hours is sleep is something I suppose. Cat kept bugging me though

[naive hinge]

can we expect early access to be available from March 16th?

[open ingot]

Demo will run until Early Access and is roughly only about 5% of what will be in Early Access. The explorable 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. See the latest post here ⁠news⁠ from Yar_Master. As far as price and packages, that will most likely follow Early Access Release info.

[olive sentinel]

My guess is we won't have EA for a few months

[hasty roost]

I think we can expect it in 2026

[olive sentinel]

Summer or August maybe is my guess

[timid crescent]

No, and it's very highly unlikely that we can expect early access to happen until AT LEAST May or June at the earliest.

[open ingot]

I can't use my feb 29th joke anymore 😭

[sturdy whale]

after u repair the ship, any more quests?

[naive hinge]

@open ingot thanks for the wiki page @timid crescent oh ok make sens

[hasty roost]

You gotta board the Blackbeard ship and beat it. That concludes "the demo" but you can continue playing

[naive hinge]

some one know how this game is build C++ or Blueprint ?

[timid crescent]

March 32nd?

[olive sentinel]

I think this is about all the public info we know for internal

[naive hinge]

guys i have no issue with bonefire ?
https://gyazo.com/2d8dfe3d729443a0415f753a45bc01b8

[open ingot]

nah that's too obvious.

[olive sentinel]

April 1st?

[open ingot]

I thought about it but might be too obvious too lol. Feb 29th was perfect. so many people fell for it

[olive sentinel]

I'd more believe a April Fools day release

[open ingot]

Anyone that took a quick glance at a calendar immediately recognized it was a joke so it was subtle, but still funny. April 1st isn't really funny imo

[hasty roost]

Sept 19th

[naive hinge]

@olive sentinel i can't imagine this bad joke of April 1st 😂

[olive sentinel]

I'd still hope for it releasing during "Ocean Fest" May 18-25
Or long could be August "PvE Survival Crafting Fest"

[hasty roost]

see for me, i remember leap years because all you need to remember is that 2000 was a leap year

from there, any multiple of 4 is a leap

[haughty gazelle]

Hey guys, does anyone knows how to set a fast travel point?

[open ingot]

use bells

[haughty gazelle]

It won't allow me to build it anywhere

[olive sentinel]

Put it near the water

[obtuse sorrel]

https://tenor.com/view/sleepy-john-winger-stripes-tired-exhausted-gif-21689644

[olive sentinel]

Its more a "Water Fast travel Bell"

[haughty gazelle]

Oh!

[vestal sluice]

[timid crescent]

Yes unfortunately

[hasty roost]

yes it will be. but don't take it as a bad thing.

[vestal sluice]

can't wait for the gameee to releaseeee...it bene so good tho

[quiet minnow]

I love that i found the ring for collecting resources after i had finished everything else

[grand reef]

same

like, really? ahhhhhhhh

[hasty roost]

yeaaaa. lmao. good thing ive doing the build contest. making use of it x)

[obtuse sorrel]

curiosity Killed the kitty cat xDDD

[obtuse sorrel]

it will , plus , the whole community seems good spirited and adult , it's refreshing on various aspects.

[obtuse sorrel]

i can vouch for that. she does get resources much faster since she got that ring!

https://tenor.com/view/alf-laugh-lol-lmao-laughing-gif-26134855

[hasty roost]

i would hope so

lol. Pirates irl were one of the major groups of nonconformity and another significant example of an avant-garde lifestyle

[crisp pagoda]

walk the plank or laugh at my parrot jokes arrrr 😂

[hasty roost]

i somehow managed to parallel park my ship. >.>

that was not my goal

[crisp pagoda]

still pretty impressive even took me a few tries aswell 😂

[hasty roost]

lolz

[subtle blade]

I think describing piracy in such positive sounding terms is an awfully sterilized way to view history.

It was a pretty terrible way to live.

Both for the pirates and their victims.

[hasty roost]

so is modern day. i'm not trying to whitewash or sterilize things. but we also can not focus solely on the negatives

[subtle blade]

Fair enough, I suppose.

[crisp pagoda]

check the creative channel an ya will see i had some practice parking backwards 😂

[distant hill]

Do we have a way to move things we placed without destroying them?

[obtuse sorrel]

yes , destroying them first then displace the pieces

[hasty roost]

nope. not right now

[distant hill]

Okay thank you

[naive hinge]

small update of my house port ! crasy game

[crisp pagoda]

ohhhh ok i just found out its not a good idea too shoot the base of ur friend with the ship
his lil fort now has holes in the wall 🤣

[crisp pagoda]

intrusive thoughts won lights next cannon shot 😂

[hasty roost]

lolz

[obtuse sorrel]

mmmmh... i had though of this yesterday..

therefore . next shipment will be elsewhere @hasty roost

given your parking skills... the cannonballs are safer.

[haughty gazelle]

Does anyone knows where I can find Doctor Galen for the mission I Need a Bigger Boat? I don't seem to find him anyone and the mission is not pointing his the location.

[hasty roost]

check your bonfire and settle him

[crisp pagoda]

follow the tutorial building steps an he should appear

bonfire/workbench/cooking fire/bed or tent

[haughty gazelle]

I already saw him once but he seemed to dissapeared from the first bonfire and he's not at my second bonfire location

[crisp pagoda]

are you playing co-op by chance ?

cuz in that case he might be stuck at the home of 1 of ur friends

[unkempt granite]

I played Co-op with my friend, but they can't hear my men sing their shanties while on my ship
Is that a bug or it hasn't been implemented yet?

[naive hinge]

I am making a request to the developers, with the money they will soon earn, to buy ATLAS for a pittance and make this game a success like Windrose 😋

[haughty gazelle]

Thank you!

[crisp pagoda]

i believe cuz its a demo the shanties are still client side

[unkempt granite]

Noted, thanks

We also noticed animals don't have pathing to avoid water

A boar chased us all the way to the shore and got stuck inside water
He can't drown or move, so he's just floating there

[hasty roost]

Galen should store his potions so that you're not forced to interact with him every. single. day.

like, he can store up to 10 over 10 days

[arctic bobcat]

where is the unique chest oat the travellers camp on the first island, cannto find itr

[hasty roost]

holy caplocks. anyone else see that?

[quiet minnow]

can you connect structures by using multiple bonfires or does the boundary effect stop that?

[crisp pagoda]

read the note an it should all become clear 😉

[hasty roost]

you can build outside the bonfire. the bonfire matters in terms of storage for workbenches and access to materials in building mode.

you can even build things that require a bonfire (like decorations) and then destroy or move the bonfire without losing those

[arctic bobcat]

i am at the tree, do not see a burial spot, and cannot use the axe to even hit the tree

[hasty roost]

there's no obvious X marks the spot. you use a shovel around it

[crisp pagoda]

you need to make a shovel an dig around the tree

[dense wyvern]

When the Steam demo event ends, will access to the game be interrupted?

[hasty roost]

you might be mixing it up with the steam event going on

[obtuse sorrel]

sort of , access to the demo yes , but access to the early access will open

[tardy flower]

how are people stealing materials from other players?

[granite oxide]

Demo will run until Early Access and demo is ruffly only about 5% of what will be in Early Access. Exploreable area of Archipelago in demo is only about 2.5% of what will be in Early Access. Early Access will be announced in the #│announcements when it is time. See the latest post here #│announcements message from Yar_Master. As far as price and packages, that will most likely follow Early Access Release info.

Also, characters, items and buildings will not transfer to the Early Access, it is part of the demo – different client, different game builds. So enjoy playing the demo for now until that time 🙂

[granite oxide]

demo your bondfire and move it to where you need to build

[granite oxide]

I don't know about stealing materials, but friends can load up their ships and inventory with materials and bring to a friends place to give them to build with.

[tardy flower]

ive just seen a few people say they have been taking materials from other players and it seemed less than consensual. i think I am playing offline but just wanted to make sure my hard earned stone / wood doesnt vanish on me when i am not looking

[hasty roost]

https://tenor.com/view/my-love-story-with-yamada-kun-at-lv999-yamada-lv999-anime-yamada-lv999-akane-akane-confused-confused-anime-gif-16048699582846891922

[runic yew]

I wish you could overlap bonfire areas. Or upgrade your bonfire to increase the size of building zone

[granite oxide]

If you give people your access, you have to make sure you know them well enough or trust them enough not to do that. But if you are the host, they cannot come onto your Server when you offline.

[abstract aspen]

people cant just join you. they need your server and password (if set) you also have to host a server to be available for online at all. no need to worry

[open ingot]

Great to add to #1298615271686279208

[naive hinge]

I'm experiencing a strange bug with the enemy indicator
there are nothing on the sea or on the beach
https://gyazo.com/f498389f986e6d1b678befffdb5aa2bc

[stiff star]

random question, my buddy and i are talking and comparing, how many people are on the dev team? anyone know?

[abstract aspen]

around 50 is what i heard

[naive hinge]

maybe 100

[half elm]

yo how do i do ship battles after the one they tell you where its at

[stiff star]

tyty

[naive hinge]

I also wonder what/who are their funding is and how much it is

[arctic bobcat]

how often does the copper mine respawn or fill up on the first island

[abstract aspen]

every 2 hours (real time ofc)

[arctic bobcat]

ty

[distant hill]

If I leave the tree stumps do they regrow?

[abstract aspen]

i have yet to see any actually regrow after 150hours. some say they do..i didnt experience it myself tho..

[last gyro]

dev said they've never regrown and never will

[abstract aspen]

yeah figured. since we get the seeds we can plant em in ea when we get gardening stuff to unlock. wouldnt make much sense for them to regrow then haha

[distant hill]

Yeah I figured as much was just curious so I asked

[rotund steppe]

I love that in the demo i only hef 10 wood but 54 rum bottles

[obtuse sorrel]

Delivery for a certain Savvie... arrrrrrhm.. Pirate? https://tenor.com/view/delivery-gif-24975413

[hasty roost]

yo ho ho?

[granite oxide]

Can always go to the other islands with much larger mines or make other servers and go with your boat and gear and mine those caves too - repeat, bring back to main server.

fill up that boat inventory

[hasty roost]

so, the primary issue with trees regrowing is it ends up being really weird when you build over those locations. Once Human has these issues.

However, since you mentioned the stumps.

I think leaving a stump alone and letting that be the respawn anchor could work. because then if you remove the stump. there's no respawn. but if you leave the stump, it would feel intentional that you want it to respawn

[granite oxide]

in Early Access trees can be replanted. Just not in demo.

[last gyro]

I was talking about trees regrowing "in the wild"
Planting from seeds is totally different, and those will obviously grow

[vivid sparrow]

Building fences, wall, etc, small safety boxes in front of tough enemies to avoid dmg at all. Is this something what should be possible in such a game? That style of playing made it super easy on Dif3. After few aproches together with collegues we decided to not use this dirty tactics because its not funny. In the other hand, if you are creative and like you life to be super easy, then this is reward. I've no experience in games where is building mechanics mixed with survival so not sure if this normal thing or not.

[naive hinge]

Boys, I don't remember, can we move the Bonfire to expand our camp?

[hasty roost]

https://tenor.com/view/do-something-comeon-stickman-bored-gif-22722853

Me with seeds in my chest

[fossil rover]

Check the waves in the water, there's probably a dodo bird stuck there. I came across that a few times

[naive hinge]

@fossil rover i double checked but you are probably right

[abstract aspen]

well i think its about finding different ways and trying things out. some people just run in and tank, while others take high ground or build around enemies. i think its okay to do so unless its ofc against bosses (which the demo only people have yet to experience at all)

[hasty roost]

hahahaa.

[abstract aspen]

i managed to kill a cactus, no way i cant kill a potato

[vernal basin]

potato is eternal. it shall find a way back. always. xD

[obtuse sorrel]

YO HO HO indeed

[hasty roost]

lol

[hasty roost]

my BFF's cactus "melted"

it was one of those cute lil puffy cactuses and it went flat.

[obtuse sorrel]

[hasty roost]

howard the duck in 2026. oof

[abstract aspen]

my cactus just shriveled up and went from puffy to marble sized lol

[obtuse sorrel]

too much water, typical with cactuses.

[obtuse sorrel]

no judgment we have pirates in 2026

[hasty roost]

pirates never left tho 😮

[vernal basin]

had a little cactus from a dollar store if you will. i was told it wont last long.
had it for 8ish years before it decided to fade at last.
big guy even took a stray from an airsoft BB and carried on like an absolute Boss xD

[obtuse sorrel]

they were mostly reborn at the Bay...

https://tenor.com/view/in-the-know-pleased-happy-smile-clever-gif-2799953787772460504

[glacial dirge]

can i plant the seeds or do anything with them in the demo?

[abstract aspen]

sadly no gardening in the demo

[quick umbra]

ok so i lost Doc and now i cant find him

[abstract aspen]

bonfire and press E on it. let him settle again

[stone cradle]

Hi all. I’m sure this has been asked a million times but I have 14 hours in only and have two questions. 1 . The trailer shows being a top down or farther out fov while steering the ship. Is this possible? 2. Are the seed packs usable currently? Thanks! Edit: just saw no gardening in the demo so just the first question.

[obtuse sorrel]

https://tenor.com/view/1-gif-8956692454813583627

[abstract aspen]

F on the ship and you can zoom out
seeds cannot be used in the demo

[stone cradle]

Thanks!

i do that with hytale. i made a document that has a LOT of hidden game information from the assets and share it openly. even updated the wiki multiple times

hell yeah!

the good thing for me is that i got the advantage that i wont even have to go out of my way and find secrets, people struggle with the basics thats easy enough to write down for me lmao

[sly igloo]

there a place to drop my review here? 😄

[tall cradle]

#1298615271686279208 section. ❤️ 🙂

[abstract aspen]
