how to become an alcoholic in 5 minutes?
Be part of this discord and follow that rule XD
Well it is hump day so makes sense lol
9 pm here
.... that's tomorrow broh
For you maybe bruh
does this look good as like a ship roof kinda thing?
Are the ea out in your future?
you built all that? nice.
6am here coffee time ๐
actually, he needs to wait longer for his hemisphere, a day later than us
heres the inside
im not shure if it looks good or not
what is the EA date
Looks like a upside down ships hull
Very nice @swift obsidian
looks great
thanks! so i should keep it?
2026
October 37th
welp, i'm off for a beer run, this gonna be a long day...
or a very short one haha... same meme lol
Approved in moderation. You guys...do know what moderation is, right?
Wonder if pirates partook of the herb? Alcohol kinda meh when get old
I still smoke cigarettes
That's when posts are selectively removed based on one persons feelings rather than an objective application of any sort of standard, right?
My guess is yes
Sounds like feelings got hurt lol
I love the Dora in the background on that one lol
Especially pirates in the Caribbean mon ๐๐
i didn't even notice that lol
ssst, mod incomming. Hide!
Dunno why I post that as it always hurts my eyes also ๐

Do the mod take bribes in rum?
we don't have any more rum!
the very definition of a vicious cycle
Must admit the mods seem pretty good in this server, patient af and no ego trips ๐
I think this whole community (in this discord) is pretty chill and nice.
Maybe they have just given into the rum ๐
Tbf every action we take is logged so if there is any injustice then we got like 10 other people to look over it and make sure
Most of my job is removing those silly scam bots...
I have been a mod in a good few crypto projects so I feel ya pain hahaha
Wait so I can't win Mr Beast dollars?
they're excellent snipers too
Nope cuz you have been eliminated
that's how i see jeezee every time he quick scopes some scam bot lol
XRP = trash coin ๐
is anyone having issues connecting to friends befoer I report a bug? We have both tried to connect to each others game and get booted to main menu each time.
The power of aim assist huh ๐
Connection issues has been the single biggest known issue so far.
there's some possible fixes pinned in here you both can try out
no guarantee though
stolen. this will come in handy later.
Good, good. Yer a pirate now!
man i can't put my hagrid on there cuz i don't have nitro anymore :( have a mountain instead
would love a jar of dirt decoration
wait.. is it one gulp or an entire drink per jack Sparrow?
Bottle, glass....your pick.
But remember: you're a pirate......no half work.
the hardest part is not memeing myself into Mr. Lahey oblivion
well everyone is drunk now it seems
It has been a blast.
Thanks for the laughs today lads and lasses.
I'm off for today.
Dreaming of the EA releasing date and such.
Yarrrrr you laterrr
๐คฆโโ๏ธ
workers in the demo, or mod unlocked?
mod unlocked
mod unlocked 100%, so i can't show but i can describe... right?
i just beat the demo and ngl i love it
couldn't figure out how to mention, mb
i decided the game needed to simulate building sand castles
so we delayed EA for 6 months
i don't think that guy holstered his weapon proper, he just shoved it back and held it there with his arm lolol
it's not a pirate game if you cant write SOS with rocks or finger in the sand.
devs spend 2 months, developing a rock placement system, so you can place a rock anywhere.
actually you could just have rock in the build menu, and then it takes rocks to make it.
can make an SOS sign with the stick build items probably
guys this is none demo content
its a very closeup screenshot of non demo content
i technically broke the rules ๐ฑ
there's actually a 50/50 chance mods tell me not to do that again
So nah. Weโd prefer if any thing related to the game files or content not in the demo isnโt even discussed please
woohoo nice
i wonder if the build system will get so good, that people build ships
or if they already did that in the contest?
one won a category
actually, 2 did
yeah very nice, skull is awesome, imagine blending that into a mountain side
Make another one next to it ๐
how do you get copper to respawn do you have to clear everything in the cave?
Wait 2 hours, IIRC.
hows my pirate village looking this is just the start there will be alot more but for now?
Copper, rocks and clay respawn every 2 hours... trees do not respawn in the demo
For some reason
Are you going to ask in general every single time you build something? Lol
that is what general is for, better than 5000 jack sparrow gifs
Thought thats what creative would be for but agree on the gifs
do you think my village looks good so far though?
Don't ask me im just an old grouch mate
looks good, yeah
Idk how you guys have the patience to mine that much stone
Some dont ๐
I made a single drydock that took about 2.5k stone and that was grueling
in the EA launch, i'd imagine that i will mine the stone over a longer period of playing the game. rather than 'hunting' for all the stone, i will let it build up as i do other things. and eventually i will have enough to finish a nice base/city.
thats what im imagining anyway
If its like the playtest you wont farm mats much ๐
stone looks so much better than wood for foundatin witch is why its worth it for me
Speaking of, back to aska to check the new tavern yaaar ๐โโ๏ธ
im sure the devs will include other ways to get materials without resource farming for them? maybe if you board other ships they will be hauling some wood or stone you can just loot.
when your world looks like this you know your a sweat
i hope so
maybe we can just buy wood and stone, in bulk, with our currency, from town.
these other methods will please a lot of people who dont want to farm forever
we also need a way to make/buy gunpowder cus rn you can only get that from scavengers who like 1shot lol
All I have aside from this is a campsite in one of the ketch shipwrecks... and I'm already tired of farming for now
it would be nice if there were renewable ancient artifacts, so you could keep finding them and selling them.
At least the grinding is quite a bit quicker than Valheim, I kove Valheims building but getting something to look good required a lot of time
(Or a troll ๐)
i do love how this game has containers of different shapes. i asked valheim devs to do this back in 2020 or 2017 and they yelled at me. rofl
You get workers, been talked about a bit so hopefully dont get "modded"
do you guys have any good inn ideas that will kinda fit the pirate theme?
outside or inside?
outside
i suck at making buildings look good outside haha. theyre as simple as it gets
lol
Ship Inn
I like to get inspiration from real world buildings, artists fantasy/pirate paintings/drawings, and of course, AI can put together some fun things that will help inspire your building designs.
i already have a ship building in my village though
i guess this one would be bigger and more detailed
If you chance to see any of the sketches or paintings of Nassau all the buildings except fortifications or storehouses look about as plain as you can get. Simple functional structures that sometimes opened up into a ditch out the front door. It was the times. Think of your builds as realistic ๐
what about this?
I call hax!
I've seen a couple folks try and throw a ship bit on top of their inns, I think its dope
How did you get the mast to come out of the upside down hull? It is part of the ship mesh... ๐คฃ I like the concept, I would stay there especially if you have a open bar by the pool.
its a picture made on like pintrest or something its no a ingame photo lmao
...but it could be. Now that you have posted it a movement could start...you never know
SHIP PARTS could be a new branch of the OLD WORLD building set.
some people made pirate ships for their builds out of build pieces ๐
Waiting for someone to do shipwreck cove from potc 
Yes, browsing through the submissions they all looked so amazing and I was in awe of the shear amount of effort that had gone into each and every one.
It's fun being a ship nerd and being able to recognize the ships in random media
I spy with my little eye the swedish Kalmar Nyckel
Same, long time sailor here. I love the accuracy of some models where certain aspects of a ship are taken into account.
Its a replica of a swedish ship that sails around Delaware
I'm not a fan of American tall ships.. they're kinda bland generally
Most of the good ships were built elsewhere till we established dedicated forest here in the US for certain timber and even then it was mostly used after 20-30 years had pased.
Well I guess the Kalmar is technically a Pinnace.. which is dutch.. so a dutch built ship under swedish ownership rebuilt by the americans

all I read was AMERICA!!! USA USA USA
SO...its like everything today is what you are saying
Hey at least the Batavia is a dutch replica rebuilt by the dutch!
I remember when Skull and bones showcased "concept art" and it was literally just a filter over the Batavia
just have 4 players spawn their ships on top of each other.
They wish they could come up with a ship that good lookin
Skull and Bones isn't real, it can't hurt you
they did not..omg
that is so lazy
Found the exact photo they used as well
I still remember how much my friends laughed when we saw a stamina bar on ships when we watched gameplay at release
clearly a mere coincidence
imagine having millions for proper artists and designers but end up doing THIS?!
Bettee than ai at least 
honestly..its technically still stealing..
Ubisoft has been doing it for awhile
This is ac4 concept art... that ship may be a little recognizable
that's the titanic, you can tell because it sank
Yep you nailed it
Pirates of the Carribean x Black Flag confirmed
is this game out yet ๐
Now everyone expects you to make one ingame
when ubisoft was a new company, did they call it newbiesoft?
isn't ubisoft one of the worst game devs in the world second to electronic arts?
yeah those are the guys who did the crew, they are... EA/ubisoft lack awareness
ubisoft always has the best ideas, like when I first see their ads I'm like 'omg yessssss" then when the ubisoft logo pops I'm like "nah nevermind, you ALWAYS mess it up"
shouldnt they be renamed to tencentsoft now?
Chinasoft?
so this AI is okay?
to use as a reference for your build, yea
AI only good for deepfakes
just trying to figure out the rules
not sure what rules you're talking about tbh, I'm sure a mod will be here soon to tell me off :p
hey as long as your pfp isn't some monster pizza picture we're good.......... wait a minute
first game was shit,ubisoft can suckit
Most games released in the last 5 years sucked massive balls
unreal engine 5 and AI ruined devs
i will.
"I know I need to sleep but the voices in my head go Shipwreck Cove. Shipwreck Cove" ๐
don't think that's ai tbh
sure it is
the picture is 11 years old lol and made by silverTM or something like that
even worse someone's artwork without perms lol
I don't mind the AI but it needs to be fair treatment across the channels
you just search pirate tavern on google and it pops up as one of the first few. Person posted it here has aked about it as part of inspiration. It's also 11 years old.. it's not that deep
I agree but it needs to be fair legit rules
but it's not ai?
I just want the EA ๐ญ
don't we all
EAI
Folks can post concept art by others as long as it's not claimed as their own, which it wasn't in this case
And that post is not ai
to further push that it's not ai
i went to school so im kinda AI ๐
super funny to allow use of others artwork but not AI, why is AI not allowed exactly?
Ai can be used outside of the creative spaces in this server
at least you have the "I" part in there as well haha
And there is no harm in asking people for good inspo on a build using publically available concepts
arr
if the idea is AI is stealing others artwork... then kind of ironic
Did I miss the part where they claimed the work was their own or insinuated it?
just cos ๐
nope. It was just a post asking for inspiration
where did the person say it was theirs?
Context matters, read above that message
where do they not?
because it's in the context of the conversation!
you're just angry you can't post your so called ai "art". we get it. it's just not the server for that, it's that simple
its just a rule accept it or not ๐คท everything is a choice
that's not true at all I never have posted AI and I actually agree with not posting it lol I was asking for clear rules
Clear rules regarding ai are posted in the pins of #๐จโcreative , stealing art is not permitted either and in this case it wasn't
I'm an artist and modeler myself I don't have any leeway in that regard
it got explained to you a few times by mace. at some point it's a choice to not understand
Oh yeah you make the ships in blender right?
All brains aren't made equally
what a genuinely nice group of people
Yes and do pen art of ships side profiles
have you posted any drawings? I've only ever seen the 3D stuff so far i think
Riled them up after the 3rd time asking i think lol
literally didn't ask 3 times dude I was pointing out the irony
3 times... well more but I just said 3 to make a point ๐คท
Okay bottom line I was participating in the conversation and it wasn't stolen art, stolen art and ai art is not aloud in this server and it is moderated and will continue to be so
Convo over
I love that so much. Best ship i have drawn so far was from my fiddler stealing my "boat" gif haha
then stop replyng to me?
Nothing is stolen till you use it to profit off of it. Just posting it in a discord. Who even cares
My heart gets stolen all the time wdym?
Cos you got all those tasty stents in
is it my turn to steal your heart now?

You need to video call him with today's date so he knows you aren't a dude
This guy both creeps and fascinates me ๐
its the mustache isnt it?
Bold of you to assume im not into dudes ๐
What's wrong with mustaches..
If you were into dudes you wouldn't be on here
The eyebrows lol they're mesmerising ๐
those are just eye mustaches, so close enough xD
anyone got crimson desert preloaded while waiting for windrose EA?
Crimson looks fun but I gotta wait for the next paycheck
I'm waiting for people to find all the bugs and a giant sale before touching it haha. I'm broke..
Is there a timeframe on an ea release? Or is it still undetermined
Nah, looks gorgeous but not my jam
hopefully theres sailing in CD! like BDO had with bartering gameplay
love this gif thank you seaweaver
If crimson had less fighting id get it lol defeats the purpose though
dang.... not being able to man the same boat with ur friends like sea of thieves kind of ruined the game for me. I'd like to be able to board the same boat. Yall think its just cause the demo and limited resources?
board and fight the same enemy boat*
No. They haven't figured out how to do it properly. Needs sorting ASAP tbf.
yeah I can't see myself playing this then if not. rip
the ships proportions are too realistic to be able to do multicrew like that, but you can both be on the same ship together and board the same enemy ships
They've mentioned improvements they will make but it will never be "like" sot too different mechanic wise
And the devs have mentioned theyre looking into ways to make some sort of purpose to have friends on the same ship
But it won't be sot 2
We get some co-op ship stuff that's for sure
im glad it isnt
Thats a great idea
I mean I m not asking for sot 2, but I think playing with friends is what makes this game great
demo is basically just a taste test and most importantly co-op test to iron out issues and such
these games*
Is it a full moon or something?
Playing with your friends is the point of gaming in general
I do understand why multicrew like that is appealing but sot is stylized to the point that it works, windrose's ships are semi realistic in size/proportion so it's just not possible
rip Blackwake
Talking abt this btw, how exactly do you think they'll make having multiple people on a ship as viable as having multiple ships? I was thinking offices such as like, Master Gunner that buffs damage and reload speed for the Ship, so the more players you have on a ship the more buffs you can give or something
It doesnt matter about viability theres no pvp
I'd disagree with that tbh, viablility is very much still a thing in PvE
Why do ppl need buffs. You group up because you want to
It is he always waffles on about no pvp
One friend at the helm... One friend at the guns... One friend at the sails... And one friend scooping water out with a bucket ๐
I like solo and multiplayer personally, only one builder on my servers but you can bring me mats I guess lol
They haven't mentioned much yet, i can definitely see people being able to shoot the cannons and maybe there being a perk. Since the game is still in the making, the best thing to do is throw stuff into #1298615271686279208
oh boy yeah
That's a good shout, maybe a second talent tree (or at least a section) dedicated to ships
Why do all the Ubisoft ship games have cut sails like that, it looks so stupid
oooh ship talent trees would be damn neat
studding sails?
So SoT? Lol
I hope that we can use the undead essence and special ingots (can't remember their name) to enhance cannons as well as regular weapons
Yes, unless I've been wildly misled they were only used in fair weather and never in combat. Just having them by default on every ship in combat and in storms and stuff just looks stupid, kind of seems like they thought it looked cool and just put them on all the time
yeah they def just used it for the looks
Never played that - I was thinking of another game that has multicrew ships, but eh, never mind
Even a landlubber like me can see that wouldn't work, would steal wind or something wouldn't it?
oh we can definitely enhance cannons already! I'm looking forward to seeing what they have done to the game so far once ea hits. It's already fun..the building sailing, fights, it's all a damn good base and refiining all that is gonna make it epic. co-op is definitely a part of that. just a little rough atm since it's relatively "new" but i have faith in them, as they listen to the community
Literally how sot plays
It's a simple concept
Yeah just one game does it though, well 2, blazing sails I guess
Without the level 5 reapers that are insane in combat and will mess you up after you spend hours doing quests for loot
I will say that Ubisoft havihg EVERY big warship in Black Flag constantly having their studding sails out messed with me. Studding sails in proper full winds would snap the yards off and were only used when tyhere was vbery little wind
A reaper flag affects nothing its just the crew, same crew on a merchant emissary will still wreck ๐คท
Yeah that's true but in my Experience Reapers Bones players a noticeably better
shows kinda how much research there is going on in their headquarters lol
and PvP and all so they will be hunting for people
I do enjoy the larger profile it gives them but yeah there should be a lil more variety
aight anyone know why i can't equip cannons on my boat? am i doin something wrong?
True makes them look bigger and more imposing. Especially the legendary ships, but knowing they'd be less than useless in fill billow kinda ruined the ships overall design. Which is a shame. I ADORED HMS Prince in AC4
Gotta manage your ship at the wharf
ty
Running reapers because you pvp is so cringe lol I get it helps finding other emissaries but still cringe, love wrecking reaper crews as a merchant in full merchant skins haha ๐
I know it sounds dumb (and sorry if it is) but are you trying to shift click or are you dragging them into their slot?
I spent longer than I care to admit to figure that out ๐ญ
I suppose, I got to Pirate Legend and haven't played since tbh
everything i tried shift, dragging and right clicking since it has a little tooltip that has right click to equip. moving the wharf closer to my boat though think it was to far from it
how long did it take? Used to take months of playing every day and now can do it in less than 5 hrs lol classic rare
It took me a few months but I can't say I was like, playing it all the time. I have some friends that are massive SoT sweats so that helped a lot. It was the monkey island tall tales
Blackwake, Holdfast Age of Sails etc
Ah holdfast was wondering what game you were talking about, never heard of blackwake, 18 players online.... I kind of meant games not released last week or games with a playerbase
built me a second ship pretty cool
woot , finally home from vacation sunburned to all hell and installing lol
Hide armor option? I mean I know the tattoos go on for crap, but would be nice to show them off once the are proper UVmapped.
Greetings all
Anyone know if that skeleton dude only shows up for the quest and then disappears after?
Congrats @soft badge
By the way is there anyway to delete items rather than just drop them
not currently no. There WAS a deconstruction table in the Alpha that will likely make a return in EA but nothing confirmed yet
Alr ty
Are you asking because dropped items are persistent?
More so my friends keep dropping ther old gear around our base and it's driving me wild continously picking their old stuff up ๐ญ
so if you drop them in a pile on the ground and then hit under with a shovel it should make them go poof
Ohhhh
you don't even have to fully dig the dirt I think the first whack does it
That is very useful to know, thank you
let me know if it works for you! It worked for me
https://tenor.com/view/red-vs-blue-o'malley-gif-5346741385926657062 the skeleton stays after quest too- it might be there before but that idk
I want to build something around it and I can't find it anywhere across three worlds and now I started a new level 1 to see if I can get it back. Siiigh.
If you have a bookmark for it can you screenshot your map? Maybe I'm remembinring wrong where it is.
i was about to say i thithe skeleton stays after quest too- it might be there before but that idk k i have skelly marked othe skeleton stays after quest too- it might be there before but that idk my map -
there will some variation depeding on the seed but roughly THERE /thats the blackbeard island so that narrows it down better
Thanks! I am looking on the wrong island.
i have a super bag too if you want one
I thought he was by the red flag tree
oh yeah thats 1st island nope
a super bag? wdym? like instead of the sailor bag?
yeah i have like 100+ 'huge bottomless bags'
which is a funny name for a large bag because if it has no bottom how will it hold the items
Nah. I'm not doing anything modded ATM and if I want to at some point I will get the mods
its content you already downloaded but are gatekept from ^~^
once you pick up weapons and armor you learn how to craft them too btw ๐
I have a max character max gear max boat and I do not have a 100 slot bag
i could craft you a fish
also imo modding a demo is perfectly fine esp if the progress isnt carrying over anyway
I have no fundamental problem with mods I'm just enjoying the game as is
some just prefer not to
by far the most fun I have ever had playing a demo.
i havnt done the big mod yet- just some resources cause i got bored farming and my want for terraforming cannon ballsis driving me mad ๐
That got me thinking if it's possible to dig a hole, build a chest in the hole and bury it
But not possible right now, unfortunately - just tested it. Chest won't allow terrain changes around it once built
i just dont mod anything ever, idc if people do, doesnt affect me i just like trying to play games as devs produce
i normally dont- but seeing the extra things in this project is very satisfying and has only raised my contentment with the extra wait
I have like 8k+ hours across multiple games, most survival, and the grind has been real across all those games. I frequent play mods, help write mods, I sometimes build in creative. But...for some odd reason I just like this the way it is right now.
It is not.
Search "shovel" in media LOL. I tested that too.
uhm..
weird!
i have 10k hrs in 2 games lol i grind too much, only stated gaming in like 2019 ๐คฆโโ๏ธ
Best I can do
LOL it is so funny you're testing that too.
Going to submit that as a suggestion - think can be a nice way to create some treasure hunting activity with friends
chuck a floor over it ๐
Too obvious ๐
dont think you can with this system, bury stuff or make caves need that voxel build system like enshrouded
i was thinking about using the inf resource thing to build an island up for the sole purpose of being destroyed by people
it would also fix the complaint some people have about wanting to dig under some base blocks.
Well just need to make the chest not be considered as a "regular" part, or make a special "treasure chest" that can be used for this... There should be ways around it I think
That is possible but I don't think you can create your own island on the open sea - there are areas that can't be built because there's no floor - but you can do something like that near an existing island, yup
be nice but should be a low priority under planned content, qol and fixes imo anyway
im ready for this game to take over my life!
i was thinking build small settlments on the blackbeard camp so they have things to walk through- then leave it to people to demo the cities as a whole or to dive in for the assassinations
You should get with Tara, she wants to do RPG stuff on a set world . She is looking for people
Something else that helps, for knowledge sake, and something that I've had to drill into my friends a few times. Don't drop things within Bonfire range. Drop them outside. I would say, out in the ocean (Way out there) is fine, except if you accidentally throw something you actually want, it's gone to the bottom of the ocean. However, outside of Bonfire range, on world reload, the items are deleted. Within bonfire range, they will stay, no matter how many times you reload. For better or worse (building piers, and docks, I'm looking at you. Swimming please)
drop what you dont want. use the shovel and flatten the ground beneath the items. boom. theyre gone :D
i dont think ive seen em round- ill keep an eye out tho!
@waxen hazel meet Dino.
sounds fun tbh. Would love to construct something like Port Royale as a player hub type area
Even though I don't do the RPG stuff, I would totally help with a community build
And community event stuff
I'm not much for building, but I'd be down to help with resource gathering. :)
Anyone tell me a good but not too expensive gaming laptop in uk that will run this
have you seen stones server
really enjoying it.. but I do keep crashing on my first ship fight.. everything just freezes, except for audio. end up having to stop and restart steam to get out of it.
not sure if anyone else is having a problem but my friend and I have played the last couple days and we have no had any problems, today we tried to play and he cant join my world, just says cant find server or something like that. Tried to get another player and they said the same thing. we left off on get more sailers part, we freed 1 camp together, then he logged off. I did a 2nd camp solo before logging, so not sure if that did something. Just curious if anyone else is having problems joining
Try going through the steps in pinned messages ๐. Or here #๐ฌโwindrose-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.
thanks for the heads up i will look into it
whiskeys good too
Whats this, WW2 rationing?
i drank a little before taking a pick
lilly livers be fightin fer they lives oer a single sippin's
this is incredible
i found the full thing. it was a comercial for money supermarket
I have a question: how can I explore the other islands without my boat breaking down?
What do you mean?
little boat? I don't think mine took any damage sailing over.
So I'm not able to get to the more distant islands.
the distant ones are not part of the demo and those that have gotten a mod to go there have found empty island?? IDK. I have not gone. I can wait for EA
Ah, I understand now. I thought it was possible to go normally to them, thank you so much โค๏ธ
No problem! It can get confusing.
Those are intended to be background scenery for demo
oh, yeah I forgot. There are no islands. LOL. jk
But yeah, that is what I had assumed initially
you can get there normally just restart the map every 30 seconds by going to the main menu- after enough iterations you can place a tent - suffer the death after placing tent and you can survive indefinitely- ketch will demo after respawn but you wont die
Dang it. Now I have to free these bastards twice. I created a new character to test something so I thought "why not level up?" BUT. I freed them before I repaired the ship soo. It didn't count ๐คฃ
Yeah I heard about that cheese as well
i miss being able to eat cheese :[
No cheese for you?
no mas - i can in small portions but pizza off the menu :\
lactose intolerant?
gunshot wound ๐
i got the same injuries as the protagonist ๐ซ
gunshots wounds make you unable to eat cheese? sheesh
hit the colon among other things but yeah maybe in another decade ill be able to go for it
G'morning. Has anyone already asked today when EA is?
that has been asked alot there's no date currently for EA release
Demo will run until Early Access and demo is ruffly only about 5% of what will be in Early Access. Explorable area of Archipelago in demo is only about 2.5% of what will be in Early Access. Early Access will be announced in the #news when it is time. See the latest post here โ โannouncementsโ 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 โ different client, different game builds. So enjoy playing the demo for now until that time
So short answer on Early Access. Early access is Soon to be sometime in 2026 ๐
I love the fact that @granite oxide has a macro made for when EA is ๐คฃ
It answers a few questions quickly ๐
I've heard there was like 1mil + people who was checking out the demo on steam. That's a lot of inquiring minds.
I know, thanks. I just wanted to be the first to ask today ๐คฃ
or 10th, either way
Gm
GM!
Iโm going to get pancakes
Iโve only slept for like 2-3 hours
Been up all rest of the night
Nothing that a white monster can't fix.
I just get a cappuccino
Now I want whiskey maple Syrup
I like whisky cause jack Danielโs and I got history
Not really but felt like a rhyme
Bros a rapper
Have anyone today asked already about release date? Is it today?
5 mins
Yes, I did. I did not like the answer.
good morning
Here we see a glimpse of an elusive "early access" caught by @dawn depot .
He has hidden it in a secret place.
A few have heard the sounds it could make, but many of us will be speculating.
While it looks small, it's actually a really big thing and many pirates would love to have their hands on it.
In the wild this creature is responsible for many hours of addiction to pixels and maybe a real life debate here and there.
The most "early accesses" are caught and kept by those who are worshipped as "Developers".
These elusive "semi-gods" hold the power and with that the attention and worship of the people know as "Impatient Gamers".
When the moon in full it is said one can hear the faint call of the "early access" kept by the "Developers".
But it is said that one day, maybe even this year, the "Developers" will release their golden "early access"....
And it will be Glorious!
My poor ears lol
Release when???? I wanna buy it!
Hi Dino! ๐ ๐
Pondering my chest
Morning folks! Have a great day today 
Deep thoughts... 
Thank you so much. Was a labor of love and we dominated 2 whole categories. I've been MIA for a bit because I just started a new job on Monday. I'm a night owl so this daytime orientation stuff is killing me.
guys? do trees grow up back right?
trees do not regrow in the demo
Nope, especially not after a devastating forest fire strikes.
Might not regrow in full game either if they do it like Valheim does, no regrowing but you can replant trees.
If youโve seriously recommended atlas, then thereโs something seriously wrong with your taste in games ๐ญ
Burn it all down!
Many people just create new worlds, go get the resources and go back with them to their main. Sometimes filling both inventory and ship.
didnt know it works like that aswell
It does.
You can create as many worlds as you need.
The farming world is devoid of stones and half-deforested ๐
will the ame support mods?
@jagged snow please share that in #๐ญโofftopic please
When I was building my castle I stood up a new one for stone, delete, repeat, and went and got the same patches over and over just a few feet from my fast travel point. For other resources I'm just...razing the world to the ground. Now it is my personal mission to clear everything. Because I can. ๐คฃ
@clear copper Can share that in #๐ญโofftopic even though it is a pirate game this channel is for promoting Windrose, not links to other games.
sounds like a lots of work
sorry my bad ๐ซก
I just come out for a few minuts now and then. Stocking up for a new build anyhow.
@wide kelp all good
It is mentioned in chat for comparison from time to time.
If it gives entertainment value, go for it lol. No different than time spent at the movies, sports, etc. if you enjoy it worth the time. lol
hiya ill join the thing
yeah that also right
I've never heard of it before now, I don't play many games and until recently building on Valheim was my go too.
I find it relaxing
problem is i dont have it, even right now im multitasking with some uni projects hah ๐
Yeah I played if for awhile long time ago. - It's support and official servers were shut down. Very buggy code.
oh maybe we're not talking about the same thing ๐คฃ
Multiple conversations same time lol
we are talking about my trees๐
lol
ok I mean I find clear cutting and mining relaxing...if it's only for a short while. Kinda a wind down. UNLESS I am in a hurry for the mats then it can be a drag. But that is kinda why I do it now, before I even get started on the next thing.

Apologies all for non-english ๐
@candid kettle MV Alta herself... as she quietly sits on the rock, looted and left behind. ๐
Is there a guide to the naval combat icons? For example I see what looks like damaged sails which makes sense after chain shot. Not sure if where you hit the opposing ship effects combat whether bow, broadside, mast, etc. Or do ships basically have just a single damage pool.
I found a 'guide' online but it was super basic on info. thx
so far i have not noticed any impact on the enemy ships if they are shot below the waterline for example but the torn sails from the chain-shot do slow them down a lot.
so far there hasnt been more we have access to that procs any sort of effects on hostile ships.
im sure there will be something about that at some point
Thanks, what really raised this question was another icon popped up during my last encounter. Hard to see the little bugger, but I want to say it was a person or people. Maybe crew damage? Made me think there is more going on than I think and there may be more strategy that we see on the surface. But hard to know without a guide and no way to do anything like mouse-over the icon while sailing and in combat ๐
torn sail was from the chain-shot and crossed swords is "you can board it"
Thx, those two I know, this was definitely something else. I will have to keep an eye out for it again
ookay, I'm in trouble
Nah, just take them one at a time.
Morning all, Iโm new here. I was told EA comes out later today?
Random environmental meteor strikes confirmed
Thanks, will make sure to book it off
Mace looks like hes wearing a turban in that tiny little picture
Hahaha was thinking the same
yo anyone need resources? I can gather and give you some
Yes, can you farm me a load of sulfur please
I can farm the resources that exist in the demo
300 dodo heads please
Sulfur is in the Demo
Yeah but it is useless lol
Yep, sad you can't farm it in the Demo
I got 3 Dodo heads max during 8 playthroughs lol
i thought you could collect it by blasting the reserves with your cannons
Almost got me.
Hmmm never tried that
I know you can farm trees with cannons
Nah you got loads of repair kits
Yea, it saved me
They are soooo easy bro
Nothing rlly hard to fight in the demo
can def farm ores with the cannons ^~^
They got tangled in each other, still dished out plenty of cannonballs
Daikon dance if we want to
We can leave your friends behind
'Cause your friends don't dance and if they don't dance
Well, they'll get no daikon of mine
Cap, idk where this info comes from
Put a cannon on the little ship and I bet I could 1v2 them ๐
The bloody interceptor has twice the broadside of the ketch
Try 500% difficulty
I was just trolling haha
It's just the same as easy
Unless you board the ship then yeah it's hard
500% of nothing is still nothing
1 mistake and you dead
When boarding?
When doing anything
Crazy as I put everything on max and for me fighting those ships felt just the same as on easy
nahhh even the dodo's resemble raptors at 500%
Yeah mobs were crazy hard
Thats cos birds are ancestors of dinosaurs
Aaahh you are talking about the ship battles! Yeah those do not change
So is plastic ๐
Yeah mate just the ship battles. The mobs were way harder on 500%
i mean that's basically how new kratos is
I can. What is it in for me? ๐ ๐
Yeah managed to beat the difficulty somehow lol
One BTC ๐
I tried a few times but failed haha it's like 2 hits and your dead
Digital gold for digital sulfur.... I'm a very lost lost in time pirate. ๐
Watch this ๐
You can survive 2 hits if you maximize your Vitality and resistances LOL
Otherwise 1 hit dead
You had nearly full hp as well ๐ญ
i mean. max out offense then so you kill faster
I went full stam
What a letdown when you think about itโฆ the almighty dinosaurs, global icons, relegated to the bottom of the food chain, with brains the size of peas and an appearance that only scares wormsโฆEvolutionโs ultimate plot twist.
but 500% is just a meme and noone will seriously play it
make enemies glass cannons, more fun to play
Maybe if I was full then I would have been okay
excuse me what
Australian army got rekt by emus
Huh ... so, are the maps procedurally generate? Just created a new world for farming for the first time, and the map of the nothern most island is definitely different.
Btw, if ye looking for a Captain, who can sail under pressure... This is how I like it! ๐
yes, the maps have randomness to a degree
Technically it wasn't the army, it was farmers (most of which were WW1 Veterans) armed with military equipment
So the russian army
have u ever seen birds in your life?
500% will be fine when we have better armor etc
Next you're gonna try to tell us that drop bears aren't real ...
who would win: 5 russian grandmas or 10,000 australian emus who happen to be ww2 nazis?
don't ask why emus joined them, they did
How much vodka they got?
unlimited added to the same ressources the aussis had for the emus
i have, have you ? Birds are the direct evolutionary descendants of theropod dinosaurs, so scientifically, modern birds are living dinosaurs.
It all depends on how much vodka is on the reservoir
The old women then. Vodka infused Russians are not a joke
calling birds bottom of the food chain is wild.
luckily so are the many recipes based on them ^^
What are you guys talking about โ๏ธ๐ซฉ๐ฅ
u can cook every single animal
Even humans
also , bottom of the food chain is my own opinion , sorry , to me birds just represent food , nothing else .
russian vodka infused grandmas
When Game dropping?
i want a family guy-esque skit where an emu kicks you in the sack ๐คญ
Did you enjoy watching? ๐ ๐

feeling lonely after i finished the demo
how do you make a warf ??
You almost finish the demo, just folllow the quests and it will appear
don't finish the demo, from their you have no life, no objective, nothing !! it's a trap !!!

If you don't see one in the build menu (it'll be the top category, in the same row as the Bonfire), I'd be happy to come build one for you. :)
Oh wait... wrong person. :/ @scenic drum, the above is for you.
So after seeing all the wild creations in the build contest I have a question - is there a way to expand the building area or do you just have to keep placing more bonfires? ๐
you can build basic structure outside the bonfires but if you want decor too you have to place more fires
What's triple i initiative
OMG please be a release date!
EA release date announcement on april 9th? ;o
God please let it be the release date
they just gonna say cancel it and shut down they ran out of money /s
If there isn't a release date on April 9th...
now
Release date announcement? ๐
PLS say when its release, not fake hopes ๐ญ๐ญ
A few times a week I get pings from this discord expecting the launch date and then feel sad shortly after.
Release date for the release date
is the game PVP?
is april 9th release date reveal, or shadow drop
God hear you.
Was there just an announcement? I got a discord notification but when I opened it the page said that it didn't exist
We need answers, none of which we will get
yeah, april 9th is a gaming expo thing, and it's apparently big news for windrose
yeha you can go to announcements and read it #โannouncements message
April 9th will reveal Early Access date, calling it now
I dislike announcements from this channel because I keep hoping to see a release date, but end up seeing other stuff I don't care about.
Give us the game already!
i still love it doesnt show a "date" on that one. so tomorrow could be "any" day
Blow the NDA- just tell us
I think I speak for everyone when I say that the state of the game doesn't matter... we're going to play it until we beat it, no matter what state it's inโฆ. ๐๐
Hello guys I have question my friend start streaming and not many people watch her do you have any idea where to post her streams?
Thats my guess too
I don't show an announcements page
Confirmed
https://tenor.com/view/yes-excited-gif-22851753
Every time I get a notification in the announcements channel
I caaaaant. Bambino will shout at me 
I cannot wait for new information to be revealed so we all have more to discuss and speculate on here
you can click the link > #โannouncements message <
Hopefully EA date is shown. I'm so stoked for this game
Is the announcement gonna have the release date?
IF it doesnt this would be the second time yall went YALL SHOULD LOOK AT THIS 0.0 Like theres something there that would indicate a release date/window
Eh. I dont know anything. Even if I did I wouldnt say. Besides, stuff like release dates are unknown to us Janitors
NDA its really huge consequence sadly. however for example my friend who work in games industry always telling me about when games going to release for example he told me Oblivion long time before its relase ๐
@sir_mattic making your own game
because yall did the same thing for the second steam trailer and it was extremely disappointing. That was the same kind of stuff The Day Before did
It says I don't have access
You probably haven't selected to see the announcements channel in Channels and Roles.
I hope this won't end in a negative way alร "we sold 70% of the game's rights to them, good luck have fun"
WOMP WOMP
oh idk then, properly need to select you want news from teh channel & roles section then
I like how I ask a legitimate and fair question and you come rushing in like that. Not exactly civil behavior
Like we all want the game but whining like a girlfriend who hasn't received attention in 5 minutes ain't gonna make it come faster
Defo not civil
So unecessary bro
This is unnecessary lol
its a fair question. It really is considering the wake of other EA games etc being silly.
I cannot freaking wait to get more of this game
Like I want the game too, my entire friend group played the demo together and we all decided to buy it on launch.
But like when we have annoucnements going SERIOUSLY TUNE IN LOOK AT THIS and we dont see a release date most people will be disappointed.
Its literally a natural response.
Correct. Being disappointed and trying to guilt trip are two different things my dude lol
I already had the news role selected unless I'm missing something
how about we wait with getting mad till after we see if there is something to be mad about?
To be fair for the last trailer, the game wasnt near ready fort EA. Not giving a release date for Early Access gives the dev team enough time to ensure its to the level they want instead of imposing a timeframe.
im aware. but literally saying this:
Letโs just say that itโs going to be a very special one for Windrose. ๐
Is literally going to get people expecting to have the release date or window
Force them to give a release date for EA noaw!!!
I do however coimpletely understand that its extremely frustrating on the other end. So I dont blame people for being a bit disappiointed when a date isnt given yet
then go into the channels tab and see if you have enabled announcements.
Yeah thats my read too. Given how well the Demo is going It wouldnt surprise me if they have an EA release date ready and want to give it a grander show than simply a ping in this server
They gotta do what they gotta do. Ill wait 2 years if I have to, but im willing to pay like... $135 for this game (for reference ive never paid more than 15 for a game because I consider that expensive)
Doesn't show up as an option
and thats fair.
welp then idk might need to ask a mod about then
Do you want me to dm you the announcement
That would be appreciated, I will still need to message a mod tho to figure out what is up
I gotcha
But like, if yall say that stuff and it doesnt have a release date up, id rather yall change the verbage. Usually devs reserve that stuff for BIG stuff like release dates/expansions.
A famous example was when the MCC was about to be released and Microsoft was like "You should really really tune into the Halo Championships, we got a really important annoucnement"
and they announced the release date
Again, im not trying to be a debbie downer, and I get generating hype, but using verbage like that people WILL have set and conditioned expectations for BIG news using verbage like that. And the biggest news you can give us is a release date/window
mfw Discord profile has Windrose now, but still uses outdated art ๐ญ
Ngl, this year looking to be about as good as last year for games, if not even better. (counting early access releases too)
The triple initiative tends to show dev blogs and trailers for up and coming indie games looks like allot of those vids have release dates at the end of them
Ye just click bait
"Super massive amazing news ๐..... I made a cheese toastie"
I mean, it's clearly meant to hype it up. If they for some reason decide to not either show something truly amazing or a release date, people will be disappointed
Macht schon Spaร mit einer Gruppe
Aww bet. I wanna make one for lunch now tbh
you got key for the chease toastie? where i can get key for the cheese taostie?
If you have to ask you need to get better at dating
Its this anyone else's favorite game
does anyone know if this is compataible with linux?
If they do. It show something good we hang them by their toes and tickle them till they pee
Won't decide that before I play the early access. Highly doubt I'd rate it #1 of all time in any category, but for these survival/bulding/crafting types of games it might make it to the very top
Eh, not outright but a couple of linux users have got it working. I have no idea how though
Probably using whatever valve uses with steam deck to play windows games that on paper should be incompatible
But I mean if you can get any game working with linux then all games are compatable right?
(I dont kno how linux works so forgive me if I am slightly incorrect)
ok thanks my buddy wants to join and play but hes on linux. Thanks for the quick response :)\
Its definitly do-able. I just dont know how on Linux
Rgr
not if they have anticheats
It used to be the case that Linux kinda required a Linux version to play, but thanks to valve you can now play windows versions too. Might have been possible to play some windows versions in the past too if there was a very dedicated fan base to go out of the way to make it possible...
anticheats do not usually play nice with linux
Herd that is getting fixed
Yea but then devs will muck it up again
on steam deck at least... probably will make it to other linux versions too
I only pray that Windrose does not do anything stupid like Crimson Desert just did with forcing Denuvo right before launch
Whats denuvo
Its a single player focused game so I donโt see why they would need to
I doubt it.
But I will be forcing you to hand over ye treasure

deeply invasive anti-cheat which is well known to bog down performance
I see thank you
morning
gold can be found in the dev's chat msgs, for those willing to seek it
Hello
Well I guess the game won't be out until at least April 10th huh lol.
im still doin stuff on demo lmao
Its highly unlikely that the game will release a early access right after the announcement. We'll likely see a far away date
Saw the announcement and saw a date .. got excited .. then read the post .. and sad. LOL
At least Soulmask Shifting Sands will be out soon lol
Just joined the server cause I found the demo yesterday, and this looks like the exact pirate game Iโve been wanting for awhile. My only question is- how much is there to do in the tutorial? I played for 3 hours yesterday and barely started exploring the second island. Game seems massive in its current state.
Crimson Desert till windrose ๐
I would play that .. but its single player .. and $70 ...... lol
3 islands
Oh okay! Full game Iโm assuming will be the loading map? with some extra islands Iโm sure.
Apparently .. its only like 5% of when the game comes out for EA
This game looks like a World of Sea Battle next gen version ๐
You can't craft gunpowder in the demo. Trees don't regrow and you can't farm in the demo. Caves respawn every 2 hours irl
You can however revisit the camps to kill the human enemy NPCs for more gunpowder lol
Oh that helps a lot, rip playing a gunslinger lol.
Three islands and basic systems may not seem like a lot however if you combine that with a boundless imagination you can stay entertained for quite some time.
I like base building so i'm cool with the demo
Did you know the demo was co-op? ๐ Have you ever thought that the NPC pirates are just angry because no one has ever built them a house? ๐ฅณ
3 islands seems like plenty, and Iโm not surprised by the 5% comment considering a large part of the map will be water. My only concern is that travel time seems a bit long, but Iโm also fully assuming a larger ship will have a faster speed than 10kns.
There's fast travel you can build
But sea shanties
and yes. you get a ship
If thatโs the intended use of it then Iโll start farming bells lol. So weโre allowed unlimited camps?
10 fast travel bells
I just plan on unlocking the Wave Motion Core drive. That should speed travel up a bit. ๐
More than enough
Im assuming it is unlimited or at least a very high number since Ive seen base builds that have build throughout an entire island or at least a big chunk of it

It's this stream doesn't tell us a date for EA release, I'm going home lol
Bc there is no date yet lol
Did the stream happen yet?
oh the stream haha
Yeah, fixed the typo lol
april i belive
I love swipe to text but hate swipe to text
April 9th
That's not soon enough ๐ซช
I agree its hard to be patient! I wanna put 100s of hours in this game already
yeah it is so hard to be patient
been following this game since last year .. didnt get any alpha keys .. and when i saaw the demo i got so excited .. and now since im done w the demo .. i get excited everytime a notification comes up from this discord hahaha
I deliberately haven't worried about playing more because I just want a more complete version.
Youre better than me haha
The game released on9th or something else ๐คฃ
same lol rip crosswind days lol I was hoping they kinda would just make it early acess and let it roll and improve as it goes but I also understand with todays climate why you might not want to do that!
I finished the demo and almost finished the demo again before I realized my ship wasn't lost for good, so I ended up continuing my orginal game for a bit, and have focused on playing other stuff because I like what we got in the demo and just want more.
its just an event where they are likely to announce somthing.
2 weeks away is ruff
The demo is only abourt 5% of what the rest of the game will look like. Windrose is massive
well at least we have a new date for stuff to look forward to :D good morning people
Yes sir
map size?
Have used this nick since 2001. Have it from the old black and white Mummy movie
Big
Huge
Especially ruff when itโs three weeks away and not two ๐ฆ
Neat, that Triple-i thing is on my 30th.
Even rougher since it's not when ea is coming ๐ Everyone know by now ea is coming October 37th
Hey fellas, if it is the announcement for early release, iโm making the joke thatโs their gift to me, by telling us the release date.
Birthday gift ๐
Hereโs hoping that the announcement on the 9th will be โtomorrowโโฆ that, or shadow drop ๐
dang I didnt even know what today was I thought we were deeper into march... Now im really depressed lol
Nah, itโll be the release date for EA.
Whenn is early acces
Weโre on March 18 of 31 days, thatโs still over half.
you cna have that but id like EA on April 21 lol
Sorry to break the bubble ๐
Let's just say it will be something important and worthy of your attention..that I can promise โค๏ธ
Hey everyone
Mornin folks
Afternoonโ Yar.
At least we got the date where they are (maybe) going to announce the publication of Windrose EA. Maybe. If we lucky
Soon (TM)
@grand light yeah? release date at 9th april ? yeah? ๐
april 21st is my birthday I hope to have a good birthday month
Now the real question, is it a milestone birthday for you as well?
bigger than witcher 3 ?
ah i turn 28 so not a huge one but I sure apreciate another year
next year ๐
Never played witcher 3 so im not sure
In terms of Demo VS EA it depends really. Like, there are 3 islands in Demo vs ~30 islands (plus some smaller landmarks) in EA. 1 biome in Demo vs 3 biomes (with bosses!) in EA. 1 playable ship -> 3 playable ships. In general when we say the Early Access will be ~10 times bigger than the Demo we take the average. If we talk about time, excluding some optional 100-hrs base building (I know that feel), EA version should take 50-70 hrs to complete the story.
Nice!
wait, early access is comin soon?
Jeez, I thought they were dropping the EA
Thanks a lot
Windrose locations are scattered across the islands, so fairly speaking, a huge part of the map is water. But IMHO the density of the islands and the points of interest on them is...satifying. Hopefully you'll see for yourself soon (tm)
Does anyone know what I'm missing?
here one you dont have to download. What am I missing?
The Crab Shell from the little crabs, a random drop.
ok I have like 62 crap meat shouldnt I gotten it yet?
its random but i`d say you have bad luck mate
It's random, sometimes it doesn't take awhile and sometimes it takes a long time.
damn ok i guess ill keep picking them up
you probably should, it's amazing!
Question for the staff what progress we do in the demo will it get erased once early access releasees?
never played the witcher but dang thats big
absolutely. we won't be able to carry anything over given the amount of changes and differences
I started but never got into it so never got far enough to know anything really
indeed finised 2 times full game started 3 time still waiting for witcher 4
Ah ok sounds good thank you!
how many will be limited to a server or do we know any of that yet?
You dont want the answer
I want to know. you mean reddit and nfsw site? I guess thats what you meamn
No. Youtube
how on youtube?
I'm not staff but been here long enough to hear them say many times that demo will not carry over to ea.
true
Thank you one of the staff said
"absolutely. we won't be able to carry anything over given the amount of changes and differences"
I hope not, who would want to see an island that someone dug out into a giant maze ๐
me. show me the maze
You not ready fo dis smoke! >.<
We getting an EA date announcement on April 9th? what do you all think?
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.
This answer remains the same for now - soon ๐
hello all, where do i get fishing rod ?
Not in the demo
ohh damn
thanks
Trees will not regrow in the demo and you can't craft gunpowder either. Caves respawn every 2 hours irl.
