i mean its falcore
Isn't everything these days?
that monkey is mad...lol
- refresh...refresh.....refresh....refresh*
Actual footage of me being "patient" XD
Aye although he DOES say at the start that its old footage from the Alpha
I watched this yesterday
I know hes in this server actually. I got to talk to the Good Captain a while ago
@surreal sierra Yeah he briefly said it must have missed it
Falcore I know you had an inside man at Rare. For some cookies I am willing to sell out and give insider knowledge on Windrose!
(This is a joke of course)
lol
didnt hear him say that....guess the title of the vid got me better than i thought
We're all muppets in here.....
oh wait XD
Yup lol
its literally at 0:12 in the video he says "this is early footage so things might change a bit"
The muppets are fantastic. Wish they still did a show. Might be the only thing on TV I'd actually want to watch!
in my defence i was half asleep when i saw his vid
yeah I went back and rewatched it.
lol
When I was a kid, I wondered why Statler and Waldorf were so grumpy... Now I get them 😄
My two favorites! I've been a grumpy old man most of my life! 🤣
Yeah, same - even when I was 25 😄
I was at 15...
Mahna Mahna. 
wacka wacka
is it possible to add it to the test version somehow?
What test version? Like the old alpha? If so, no, servers were shut down
first time on the discord. most likely its been asked, but is there a bug that crashing the game when u go to access the bonfire? or am i unlucky?
I believe it's a known issue with the good old Dr Galen
Yep, known issue. The game either unfreezes in a minute or two, or has to be alt-f4-ed.
yeah cool, ive had to alt+f4 but thankfully the game saves
That's old gamescom video, I think it's still on youtube somewhere
Many things changed since then though
Any way they will make this an MMO too?
Nope.
Dang, looking for an MMO like this. Maybe someone will create one someday lol.
Not with these ram prices 🙈
It actually used to be designed with MMO lite elements that even made it to alpha testing but it proved difficult for the teams development
Only temporary lol PE is already starting to crack , 08 style.
yo anyone want to play?
Ahhh yeah I figured, its fun so far for sure.
Remids me of witcher 3 some.
RIP chuck
For our mod team who are always there for us
love that little frog
We’re always here for you guys. Always present. Always watching, observing, waiting, plotting, monitoring, preparing. We’re always watching you 🔎 👀
Honesty I think you guys are the most engaged pre-released game staff out there!
Creeper!
ha, you're on a roll with your GIF matey.
I love them!
Not sure if I feel comfortable or creeped out XD
Maybe a bit of both......
Aaah, comfortable it is then 😄
yo 15k people online anyway wants to play?
I'd be willing to bet a substantial portion of those are people who's phone is logged in...
The bloody BB sergeant just shot me! Pulled out a pistol, the bloody barsteward!
And why was I even surprized...
They give you a 1 and a half second warning and then BAM
Well, I shot the cheeky bugger back, but it just startled me
LMAO im saving that one
I am apparently dumb. How do we toggle a map marker or a mine or anything so we can make sure we're heading to it? Or do we not?
Select it and at the bottom put the check mark in the box
i know im late af on this but where could i find the reasoning behind the name change?
I knew I was dumb! Thank you so much!
I cant say why "Windrose" was chosen specifically ||other than the obvious naval correlation|| but as I understand the name change itself was to ensure folks understood that the project was no long what "Crosswind" had been set out to be - no longer MMO, no PvP ||at least for now||, etc.
Hi guys what laptop would be good for this game but affordable
CPU: Intel® Core™ i7-10700 / AMD® Ryzen™ 7 5800X.
RAM: 32 GB.
VIDEO CARD: NVIDIA® RTX™ 3080 / AMD® Radeon™ RX 6800 XT.
DEDICATED VIDEO RAM: 10240 MB.
OS: Windows® 11 or later (64-bit)
SHADER MODEL VERSION: 6.0.
FREE DISK SPACE: 30 GB.
This is what the game specs are from what I can find, so anything around those specs in a laptop.
ANd affordable is subjective: we cannot see what you have in your wallet and what for some comes off as affordable, might be to much for you.
*I know that is my case most of the time haha)
but then again:
I am Dutch: broke and cheap XD
What's "affordable" lies in the eyes of the beholder...
Hardware (read: RAM, and storage) is very expensive atm because of hyperscalers/AI-bubble.
Apart from that: what @waxen mirage said. Have a look at minimum/recommended specs 🙂
Of would you buy a steam deck
most important thing when buying laptop is look for "integrated gpu" and a decent amount of ram.
Oled
i would rather buy a steam machine than a steam deck.
You don't want "integrated gpu" when gaming...
I got my steamdeck when it first came out and I've had good times with it ever since, it's also a decent Hallmark of how optimized a game is if it can run well and look nice on it.
Will this game work on it
Demo doesn't run well late game so it'll probably "run" but not well enough to play sadly
Is the oled better
I don't have an OLED one sadly
Does it connect to tv
I can dock my steam deck yeah, doesn't help the game run better tho
dang i feel like they hit nail on the head with crosswind. my buddy is a little more annoyed about the name change, which i think is hilarious, because apparently there is a metal band named windrose, which i think makes it even funnier 😂
yeah, the name "Crosswind" was/is probably a better name, but I totally get wanting to avoid confusion of this project somehow still being THAT project
funny enough it's the same project lol but the nautical correlation makes sense
anyone has a server??
does anyone else have the game crash on them at all
right now there arent dedicated "always up" servers
someone has to host a world and be there, and others can join
It is actually possible to host a world which others can join and not be present in it with the own character.
So basically a dedicated 24/7 server, on a piece of (old) hardware.
But: not supported yet 🙂
I was under the impression that those were just the "server" being a host account that you left running, whether on old hardware or a VM, but if folks have figured out how to truly have a "hostless" server going then 🎉 🍻
can we craft cannonballs in the demo?
Yeah, that would basically be "the coop host going to sleep and letting the game run" 🙂
But it is possible, without hacks or stuff alike, with the given tools that come installed with the demo, to setup a real dedicated server. It is actually not hard at all. There's a DedicatedServer.md in the games directory which explaines most stuff rather good. With some basic networking knowledge it's not too hard to get up and running.
Also. Limited cannonball ammo. Is that too tedious to manage or would it be meaningful given the survival aspects of the game?
do i need to dowload the game again when it releases cuz i really wanna try out the demo
Yes, demo and EA (and probably again final release) will be completely different game-builds and clients.
alrr ty
And the demo will not carry over
The demo has dedicated server files in it, and it's unreal, so I'm sure it's easy enough to run (unless it's actually broken)
There is no need, infinite supply, just have to wait for the reload
Ships are pretty bland/Arcade mini game. Not much there to craft.
Thats the point of a Demo. Its not supposed to have the amount of stuff the full game will have
When EA 😭
October 37th
I love that GIF
Do we get longer lasting Lanterns in EA?!?!
I'm blind while building for like 50 mins at a time lol
use the standing torches that cost 1 or 2 wood when you building to light up.
you can set the global illuminations to low/off in settings.
it works very well in the caves.
Love having my caves be daytime
Yeah the torches lighting is a little too warm for my liking, it'd be nice to be able to tweak it
2030
2077
cyberpirates 2077
This year. From some good sources
so thats full release whens ea
february 48th
nope April 31st
April 1st
any news on release date?
thanks
Let me see how to phrase that...
you got hoodwinked
does anyone else gets hung up when using the BonFire ?
Thinking about the month with 37 days? 😄
I was ship-farming wood - parked near the shore and blasted with chainshot for quite a while, lots of downed trees.
Logged out, logged in - no downed trees. Only the stumps of the shot trees.
So - ungathered resourses despawn? Or just trees?
That too. 😄
hello chat
Not tried woodfarming with ships yet. So that one is new for me.
trees cannot regrow ATM. However when the farming mechanic plus workers management is enabled.. you or your worker can replant trees with seeds
or, as would Jack say, where have all the trees gone?
This isn't about regrowth, but about despawning of downed trees - trees that were cut down and not gathered.
Speaking of using your ship for resources harvesting.. You also can use your cannonballs for suflur veins as well 🙂
I always pickt hem up so no resource is wasteful but I'd presume they despawn if you log out
That's my question - if they do despawn.
you said you logged out and back in and you dont see them on the ground anymore so that should answer your question 🙂
Well... yeah.
I presume you've walked the area there and confirmed that the lumber hasnt just accumulated itself into "dropped stacks" or anything?
Yes. The lumber was in... lumber - tree trunks lying around. Not gatherable wood.
I kind of expected the tree trunks to be there when I logged back in, somehow thought that it was granted or something, but my only other experience is Valheim - resources stay where they are dropped until they are picked up or forced to despawn.
i just did it again - cut trees into trunks (not gatherable wood), logged out, logged in - gone. So I guess this is it.

@dull kindle
Apologies on my side.
guys im gonna sail on a skûtsje tomorrow
Not sure what that is, but it does sound pretty fun 🙂
Skutsje
aye
skûtsje*
I googled
epic boats. Very fast
There's no easy way to type that accented u on an english keyboard...
speaking of boats, im gonna buy a dieswl engine for my sailboat, convert jt to generator, and make it diesel-electric propulsion
а?
Gone with the Wynns recently had problems with their electric drive HH Catamaran and spoke out on YouTube regarding their troubles. Sailing Uma has been using an electric motor swapped sailboat for years. Today we look at where the industry stands on electric drive sailboats with motor options from ePropulsion and Yanmar.
Practical Sailor is yo...
That's a phone, not a keyboard.
Does anyonme else have this issue that it takes for ever to load into the demo then once you do the menuj looks like this?
it is not too soon. I can fit a shitton of bstteries, and lifbt boat doesnt need tgat many. Well im sure that in america its not very viable vsuse u have bad boat infrastructure
Watch the video...problem has been stray currents caused by electrolisis
Battery killer
Do you have any mods / been messing with any save files? This typically happens with those scenarios
I have no mods nor have i ever looked into the files
Try and verrify the files
I have 3 times after deleting the game
Hmmm, make sure to look through #1298615153209638942 and see if any similar issues have arisen, if not then make sure to fill one out
Ive mede a post there recently with no one replying about it
how many times did this game change name 😭
Did you include your logs?
Only once
I can
Yee, logs always help the developers find the issues when they arise
I just uploaded them
thanks for your help
No problem
Is there any word on what sorts of character customization will be available? Is it just faces or will it be possible to make a portly sailor whole drank too much port while in port?
imagine, we are closer to the release of early access now than we have ever been before..
There's already some body adjustment in the demo.
Why the first thing I see in the morning gotta be about chuck norris dying?):
also closer to death
Chuck Norris didn't die, He finally caught up with Death so Chuck Norris can kick Deaths arse
Because it was his time to go
Chuck Norris now has Death quaking in his boots
Chuck Norris had become too powerful. he was afraid that if he sneezed he might shatter the world. So he chose to ascend.
I see crimson did not live up to the hype, I think maybe we chill on this too, people talking about it like its the second coming which creates unfair expectations
I'm enjoying Crimson Desert personal preference
the game we thought was gonna be an mmo, then a co-op turns sp
My only issue is the controls for it are weird
Yeah but people expected more it feels
People always expect more
I thought it would have mmo aspects but never be a mmo, thought be more like dune
Especially with crazy hype
I never trust metic critic scores I always try the game myself. To many times people have said a game was bad because it didn't meet THEIR expectations lol
Agree and i feel people judge a game on 2 hrs gameplay so they can refund lol look at steam reviews for windrose for example 🤦
That was me with S&B for sure. I can admit it has major flaws but that didn't stop me from enjoying my 100+ hours of it
Yep, judging a game based on others opinions seems silly lol
Problem with pirate games is you get alot of people wanting sot2 frustrates me no end
wasn't a fan of sot
The pve sucked the pvp was elite
The combination of naval and fps anyway
Same, but I don't even see people wanting SoT2 I keep seeing "well black flag did/didn't have XYZ, this game will fail without it" which also bothers me.
I just dont like sots style much
Same
Windrose is the perfect balance of realistic and stylized for me especially when it comes to the ships
I see alot of, i want my friends on cannons and I want to board and where pvp? Kinda sot vibes
As long as they keep doing what they're doing I agree Mace.
100% agree
The sailing is definitely stylised lol which is fine by me but it ain't as realistic as sot and the ships weren't cartoony compared to rest of the game
I mean ill love windrose just saying hype is annoying
I just ignore it for the most part. If a game looks interesting I'll try it and if its crap I'll ditch it unless they revamp and make it better like 76 and NMS
Im more down for the land aspects in this, base building crafting and combat, I feel thats the minority though lol lot of boat people in here, didnt realise was so much interest in the historic side in gaming
Black rum is a rich, medium-to-full-bodied spirit aged in heavily charred oak barrels, often featuring caramel, molasses, and tropical fruit notes.
As long as it does better than ATLAS I'll be happy @_@
its a low bar thankfully
I'm not one who likes PVP, so I freaking adore the fact that this is PVE only.
I love survival games, and if there's a historic element to it (like Blackbeard's real name being used!) even better!
Anyone playing holdfast age of sails?
Agreed
i like Kraken rum with dry and lime, too sweet generally
I'm more about exploring. I love survival craft games. But I usually just host for me and my friends as none of us care about PVP
Black rum is the only type I like straight. Other wise I like to mix it with something fruity.
i used to pvp alot, extends gameplay without new content but now i generally chill in survival games
I'd love Sot's Safer Seas, but it's so limited. You can't use ships you've bought, you can't buy decorations, you can't do certain quests, and it's just boring.
Let's just hope this game does well 🙂 I feel like if they take their time and do what they envision it'll do great.
had a nice carribean white rum straight, dark rums i find too harsh
I've been raving about it to anyone who'll listen, even one of the nurses here has put it on her wishlist.
Same, and I've been playing so much I have my motion sickness fiance excited to play. And she's normally a cozy gamer
well it was for people to enjoy the vibe without pvp, do tall tales with their kids etc...but people really wanted the full game without pvp so it didnt appeal to anyone
That's another thing!! I get motion sick, but I had little to no issues with the demo!! When I did they were mild, and easily mitigated by letting go of the wheel and staring at the deck for a minute!
I've got about a dozen friends who have added it currently 🙂
ok half dozen but still <<;
I only get motion sick on certain first person perspective games, third person no problem at all
Lol.
I know the hype is a lot, but if EA is even half as polished as the demo, it's going to be great.
i have alot of suvival friends and they all "yeah but i dont want to sail all day" keep telling them its survival with pirate on the side but 🤷♂️
Yeah it's worse for her so no sea travel or combat for her but at least she can use fast travels I place
Oof.
Thankfully most my group just plays nothing but survival craft games so they're all excited for this. Plus most of us like pirate stuff so that helps 😄
does she get sea sick irl? my brother does everytime and i wouldnt wish it on an enemy lol
Yup
not a good time
Hers is bad enough to get woozy from a car ride
I am pretty bad at sailing, but I love it. I sailed as if I was playing pinball sadly lol. I crash into friends and foes alike, but I had so much freaking fun!
Oh no, your poor GF Seaweaver!
i used to as a kid in cars if i read, never from boats luckily as i love being on the water
I officially get to say the news. She's no longer my girlfriend, we're officially getting married!
I got a bit better after sailing around and fighting other ships for a bit but honestly I'm still pretty bad lol
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE Congrats @fast orchid
ayyyy congratulations, thought that was dark then pulled the switch ya rascal 😆
And sorry for the caps lol.
A good pirate knows how to tie any knot. I took that as a challenge. Besides, who can resist this
Thanks, if I'm being real I'm actually massively excited
dont go on car rides in upstate ny then your car will be full of vomit at the end
and so you should lol one of lifes big achievements
reading in car too, also went on a helicopter ride too and got sick
and yet id always read lol 🤦♂️
well after a sunday drive through upstate ny and my puking in car and my mom had to stop so we could clean it in the rain she wouldnt let me read in car anymore lol
outrageous! 😆
Plz no trauma dumping
Is that really trauma dumping?o.o
It’s dumping something
XD I mean if that is their definition of trauma I'd be shocked lol
lunch dumping
traumatic for the car
And the mom. And the rain.
and the mom
I honeslty odnt know
Maybe I WAS wrong sorry I am sorry ok
dont be sorry be happy
I wish i could play rn man...whjy my game break 😭
Just wanted to check, EA is still coming out "tomorrow" right?
It is??
yes (no)
I have Shooters in Dundee and Fife U better not be lying me
Did you try unplugging it and plugging it back in?
bro i tried man. Im just unlucky rn
yes but its groundhog day today
Again?!
id be building if i could
yes so there is never tomorrow
validated game files? (this has fixed all my issues so far)
Jarvis, Soon ™️ that guy.
That stinks man sorry to hear. And you tried uninstall and reinstall and verify before open?
I haave, ive deleted my game and re installed it, all drivers and software up to date
I have yes
I thought was a funny joke lol
Firewall issue maybe?
when i load it (which usually takes less than a minute) now takes like 5 and the menu looks like this
???
Yea thats a head scratcher for sure.
i havent tried that
Good thinking doc. Hit every angle
also your build was amazing man congrats
Is game app allowed by your firewall I mean. I got a notif prompt to allow the game through firewall when I first launched.
Thank you so very much! Was a labor of love.
I didnt get a notif. about the firewall needing to be allowed
you should still be able to load the main menu without internet access, only multiplayer should be require internet access
Oh yeah any of y'all ever used savesync yet?:o If you're to cheap to rent a private server like me you guys should definitely look into it 🙂
it shouldnt be a firewall issue because you arent trying to connect to another players game or the other way around.
Im just trying to get into the game/menu I cant load my old worlds or anything
try looking in your appdata folders and deleting any windrose files there manually (may want to back them up if you have saves you want to keep but idk if the game keeps saves there) then verifying the integrity of demo files
often times games will leave some files behind in local or locallow, or roaming in appdata.
ill try that
i hope it works, idk what to do if it doesnt. maybe try #1298615357937942559 if its still not working
nope. but we got an event at 9th april that will have some sort of news we shouldn't miss
whatever that means
Yeah i see that . Im UK so not sure on time it is formyself but I will keep a eye out for information
6 pm cet.
cet is Central Europe Time.
UK is in cet -1
So 5pm or 17:00
well they will ahve plenty of other games to show as well. and the news will be reposted here the moment it gets shown.
i expect its gonna be date anouncement, and i wish it is a shadow release.
how do i make gunpowder?
cant in demo
so i gotta find it?
yeah there are ways but dont want to spoil and being a demo your not meant to stockpile an arsenal, can "farm" it but by discovery not crafting
It worked...but I have to start at ground 0
least you playing again matey
thats true
yes unfortunately reinstalling wipes your progress, otherwise i would not have recommended manually deleting things.
all gets wiped anyway and no point having a save you cant join 🤷
true, true
you can "save" the saves by making a backup of those before deleting the game though
yeah but im playing again. thanks my man
glad i could help!
spoons are very useful ive found
Ive found he is too
i guess if it happens again, randomly delete a file from appdata, then verify. take note of what file you deleted, and if it fixes the issue you know that file is the only one you need to delete and verify to fix the issue. this may allow you to save your progress. if it werent just a demo it would be worth more sleuthing i think.
if you know where the map and pirate save data is then you could wipe everything but that and see if it works
but the bug would need to happen again to test that
the saves arent located in the appdata so you can always delete the entire appdata without deleting the saves.
Im having fun starting from the bottom low key
oh awsome! so nuke the appdata files without worry then lol
yeah, the game is good at being fun 🙂
the saves are located in STEAMDIR\Windrose Demo\R5\Saved
so if you ever need to delete the game, save that folder first.
good to know, tyty
luckily it looks like the early access (full) release will have steam cloud
you have a sharp eye matey 🙂 Testing it, yes, hopefully that will work out.
Cloud saving is such a great feature you won't apprecite until you find that 1 game that doesn't do cloud saves and realize all progress is lost because didn't download the save file 
yeah i remember when cloud was new on steam, and still not a think on playstation, dear god was it angering to not have it on the console.
It wasn't too bad back when PS had that card for your saves. That was how it was possible to play own save files at friend's home
and the ps1/2 kinda have cloud save.. with the memory stick.
lol getting ninjaed,
but luckily there is so many alternative ways today that you can make some third party cloud save if you really need it now. (and the console have it native)
(behind paywall though if i remember correct)
what is the price going to be on steam?
Idk
Hey what's the file name for that hat?
is it installed onto your main drive? I had the same issue before but UE5 games dont like being put on exsteral drives and only play nice when on main drives
thats what solved the issue for me
That's a big ship
whered ya get that?
Mods
ah fair
Unreal Engine Unlocker 👌🏻
What's the hat's name?
Tracker's Hat
Appreciated
smh... cheaters!
These are in the last trailer, 0:50 mark
If it’s to acquire stuff you’re not meant to then yes.
Despite the trackers hat probably being in EA it’s not meant to be acquired in the demo, ergo using mods or cheat tables to add it to your inventory is cheating. Also it’s literally in the name ‘cheat engine’
Using the console in Skyrim or oblivion to give yourself good gear is cheating
I shake my head disapprovingly at you sir!
Has then been an estimated release date for and EA or beta branch?
Fair enough
Nope. We got no clue yet other than it’ll be this year
The playtest was fun, and I have a close eye on this game
Why, I'm a Pirate I'll take what I please
'preciate it!
You know what, that is a valid counterpoint I didn’t think of. We’re pirates so doing things unfair like is pretty part and parcel.
I retract my earlier statement, go wild.
casually steals banking information
Just don't show stuff not in the demo and claim it as fact lol, if it's in a trailer or something I'd say it passes
Anyone played or has the game Sunkenland?
Yee, hince the trailer rule
I have
I've just started a new save on the test server if you want to play, alot of new gunboats that need 2 people to use, so looking for a second
It kinda runs bad the test branch, they have chromatic abberation on by default and you cant turn it off
Is it still in EA?
Yeah, it'll never leave. Games dead tbh
the sallet goes pretty hard
ok
Jokes aside no, no advance on release date other than itll be this year
Crimson desert is out now, and with that a ot of people will play and jump away
Not just that, but it can be moded
never even heard of crimson desert until today, and i've been hearing bad things
ok
I've also heard bad things. They basically took black desert online and removed the MMO features from it (hmmm sounds familiar) lol
and why is that bad? takling the pvp out of a game and just giving a story.
there are mmo without pvp
it looks good, but people can buy more than 1 game a year and play it? if they cant they will choose the best game for them
not $70 good though
Hey guys, if you going to deep delve into that game - how about move to #🎭│offtopic please 🙂
windrose is fine with 1 million wishlists, and it wont be 70$ so that helps. there are lots of games $70 i would never buy.
oh sry I thought you was refer to BD
Some people love PVE, and others love PVP.
I cant understand why you want that
in a game
I dont want both, I just said both is good. Im fine with either though tbh
Pirates of the Burning Sea did it well, there zones that were pvp that could be sailed around
zones feel like more of a hit or miss to me. why not just... have certain hosted servers have the option of PvP?
I guess partly well as if you was in a port that was being sieged by another nation you was stuck
I like the crisom Desert, cause its me vs the world (Programmer created). Dont have to worry about a person that has issues,
Won't affect windrose numbers at all, they'll be lucky to keep theirs tbh
Not totally against the idea of PvP though. PvP and pirates sounds like it would go hand in hand. But there are folks who'd see the pirate 'experience' and the pirate 'fantasy' at completely different perspectives.
windrose server awesome 🥰😻
Makes sense to me but most dont want it and hasn't been developed with pvp in mind and im fine with that, i see it as a great survival crafter with a bit of naval stuff on the side 👍
and the game goes down slowly
If a person wants to play a game a set way they willl, and if the minorirt screw it up they will leave.
pirates/rats/seadogs just dont want to share the company of the brits, frogs and dons
I mean that's fine. Ensrhouded was a banger, and have been waiting on a banger pirate game. Also... for the folks who want PvP, hop on to Holdfast Age of Sail. It slaps.
If this game makes pvp part of the game cycle then i wont be purchasing
I am tired of people wanting pvp so they can crash people that just joined
people were asking for ghost ships when we really need the other factions as raidable npc enemies
The masculine urge to broadside a Spanish warship who outguns me 20 to one.
any thing new update wise added to the game , ive been gon a month
But real talk, that'd be a wicked idea, after seeing the fast travel mechanic in certain playthroughs of the beta. Setting sail, going to the atlantic, or 'the ash lands but Florida', or the 'ash lands but New York or Charlestown', or 'the ash lands but Brazil'.
i really want teh abilly to dig 6 pannels down so i can have a underground duegeon, armoury , wine cellars, and catecomb escape tunnnel
i really want someone to tell me how they build so well after seeing all the photos in media share
understanding 'corner' structures does wonders to me.
so if you do that well would making circular structures be possible i need a run town fort style tower for my base
like a stone tower? If that's the case, I'm at a loss there. There is some vodoo in some people who could make do with building complicated structures without relying on the snapping system.
I hope this developer team listens to the people playing the game.
Cause its nothing like black flag (pve)...
Tell me i am wrong.
i could never do that it would end up looking like the leaning tower of piza
They've already addressed pvp its around somewhere
speaking of would someone mind looking at an ss of my base and possibly give tips on how to make it look better?
Like... nothing like an Assassin's Creed game?
Then i wont be purchasing it
So you wont buy it because it doesnt have pvp? Strange
No i wont by because pvp
you know pvp is optional...
Ok cool, wont have pvp at launch but you do you mate
Wait... I thought they said they said that PvP isn't the focus. That's why they completely changed the game. Or am I tripping?
nah i think they fully changed it because they were gonna go for a ftp mmo but included a battlepass i could be wrong though
Its not, it will launch as a pve game, and maybe MAYBE they might have some component in the future, this guy just moans for no reason
Define optianl ?
you can do it if you want to do it you arent forced
No pvp wasn't why it was changed by itself, it was a combination of removing pvp for now - shelved to revisit it possibly. The game went from free to play with Crosswind to Buy to play and the scope went from a mix of co-op survival with mmo like elements to just a survival game. Was a mix of things as to why direction of game changed, not just pvp.
on pvp see here #💬│windrose-chat message
This demo was pve
yes
it was pve because they havent implemented pvp yet if they do then play singleplayer or a pve server
Games going to die because crimson desert released, game going to die because has pvp, neither of which are true, guys equilibrium is outta whack lol
Ah. Now that makes more sense.
I loved to create thing. You going to tel me that my work is lost now cause of pvp?
See 👆
Another one: #💬│windrose-chat message
why would it be lost if you played on pve server?
This should be a pve server tho acording to the developers
Ya'll really gonna do this in here about a mode not even being implemented or prioritized at the start? Link to the chat says it all.
according to dev there are going to be different server types
again why i wont be purchasing this
did you see the links clicked above? #💬│windrose-chat message
Well thats not true either they've said it will release as pve and maybe down the line they'll implement some form of pvp
you arent actually explaining it you are just complaining to complain at this point
I thought they said you can have private server
Even if pvp is put in it will not be forced on players with their own servers- will not be cross server pvp.
Read the links people have been posting from devs
you can which is why offline/singleplayer is a thing ash
@thick wyvern read this post #💬│windrose-chat message
personally i think windrose is an amazing game so far just off the demo alone had more content than most games already released (skull and bones)
and this one #💬│windrose-chat message
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 [│announcements](#│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 – See Dev comment here #💬│windrose-chat message. 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 🙂
Also can see latest on upcoming Triple-i Initiative #│announcements message
Gonna go on a tangent from this: Ship types. From the demo, I feel like it is implying a horizontal kind of progression from small ship to big ship, with progression being, get better ship from the last before. Will this be the intended progression experience for that? I personally love to see ships having certain advantages over other ships. Sloops being cheap, easy to manuever, and faster, while frigates or higher would have more durable hull and more guns at the cost of speed/maneuverability and at the mercy of wind, on top of more expensive investments and repairs. Although, having players have ship of the line tier ships or man o wars might be a bit much.
the demo only being 5% of the actual game is reallyy promising to me i cant wait for the full game already got it wishlisted
I am away to bed... cause ... just cause you dont ... ...
... ooo wee
also is early access what was in the play test ive seen people like hitbo tc playing or can you not answer that
There is a lot of content so a great deal to look forward to :).
I just can't wait to explore all the islands and have different bases and see what tortuga is like, really hope it isn't dark and dreary like I've seen elsewhere
Some of what we had in the last playtest in summer 2025 is in , but some has also changed and it very different.
i think man o wars could be perfect in theory give them disadvantages such as blind spots and being slow so really just a ship made for actual war not travelling
Hitbo was playing the demo. Dont think he played earlier playtests
he was playing when it was crosswind did that have a demo?
Ah ok no this is now "crosswind" but will be similar just without mmo elements and extra stuff im guessing
i cant wait to make a pirate controlled coastal fort
The issue for me personally for that is how slow it would be to make sailing feel tedious and unfun. Definetely gonna need a balance between speed and firepower, while also including the depth of strategically choosing a ship that suits your playstyle.
Define issue
maybe they could make it quite quick depending on what part of the ocean you are in e.g in open sea it be one of the fastest but least manoeuvrable but in coastal areas it be one of the slowest
Slow moving ships in vast oceans is not fun for me. But then I guess there is the fast travel bell though.
Think that would be the point of a man o war, not for transportation or exploration but overwhelming firepower
Ill always prefer a small nimble ship
multiple people have issues,
What is the problem.
Now THAT is a ship worth sailing.
if they add a man o war it would be the perfect end game ship it shows you are the biggest in the ocean and the only thing that could take you down is basically a fleet of ships or jack sparrow and a certain ocean crawler ship but i think that is quite unlikely
that should be the animation when arriving at teleport port
Give me a rowboat with a dinky sail and a hand cannon 😁
Or fire lol
Again what is the issue?
or a kraken
true fire would obliterate it with how big it is also does anyone know where to get the rapier that applies bleed?
A kraken would be fun, I personally want whales and not too much fantasy stuff
First island quest, just follow storyline and read everything
what about a meg i mean we already have dodos
well maybe a giant squid or octopus as there are lots of pics with ships being attacked by them
Or give larger ships certain advantages compared to smaller ships besides having more guns and durable hulls:
Mobile base for respawn?
Chance for enemy ships to straight up surrender?
A bluetooth speaker with wi fi?
Dodos existed lol but we have undead crabs, I like a little just not too much
a bluetooth speaker playing pedro and yea i know dodos existed lol i meant dodos and megs were around in the same time period
Wikth the demo and all the chat, i dont see issues on the demo
Add undead whales.
"WHITE WHALE HOLY GRAIL!"
nah i wouldnt let that happen id just slap it on the nose
Go out of the area and get killed
They weren't lol, millions of years in between
coulda sworn megs were in the jurassic period werent they?
Undead megs. boom
didnt jason statham b slap one?
Dodos died off in our time though, maybe they had ancestors not sure what though
cant believe that i wouldve loved to have a dodo pet id have it as a guard bird seeing what they did to me in the game
Oh and in terms of factions, the game specifically stated that Blackbeard destroyed the british navy. But what about... the East Indian Company?
Yeah unfortunately sailors killed them off, as they had no fear of humans so just wandered up to them
or the spanish, french and dutch (i know dutch werent in that area but never know maybe they felt adventurous)
make dodos tameable and when tamed they get bigger when fed and can be used as a mount
a 15ft dodo running at you with a man on the back screaming am gonna get ya yer scurrvy dog
Kinda glad the dodos get a bit of payback in this game
Anyone with reasonable mental function would say demo. Why are we helping them with bugs......
If this game come out with a 30+ quid price point look for others
whats the point of the big space?
i would buy windrose for $40+
Anyway I have football to watch, dont feed the troll guys 🙋♂️👍
attention seeking
The real question is, where is the rum and why is it gone?
i mean gifs take up space too at least put an interesting gif in the space
gifs are funny insulting peoples intelligence and saying why would we help them with bugs in a demo is attention seeking
Tone tags help usually
It's my turn to try to be funny and fail horribly.
lol
I can imagine this is what our pirates did when we drink homeward
i knew you werent disagreeing lol but i didnt know you were joking ahah
mods ban him and his family
As you can see, the gentlemen walking towards the water and being submerged in the attempt illustrates the joke that I have posted before as an attempt to garner attention and acknowledgement for the making of the joke.

atleast you werent complaining for no reason so thats a +
lemme fix that
ill take your rum so id watch it buster
anways, gonna play Holdfast to distract myself of the fact that the Early Access is still not out yet.
Don't hit me with "soon", I already know.
found it and caused minimal damage to the earth
early access is out soon
I am tired waiting for a release, so i will not purchase this if its over £29.99, cause i simple give up pandering to developers, and just say no, I will not buy a game unless i feel i want to.
More power to ya
So did while boarding another ship and now I cannot find my ketch, nor can I recall it
Ah it was destroyed
rip
repair it at the Wharf 20 wood
Don't remember what it looked like? 😏
whats your guys ship names lets hear it
I mean, do I need to say it aloud again?
The FaeRunner
"Watch Out!"
Is Tortuga in the demo or does it just end at Seafarer? Even if it just end with seafarer it’s still madly impressive
It just ends
Tortuga isnt available in the demo
Tortuga will be in the EA though! Coming soon!
-# fingers crossed
Dang. Still a really cool demo though. Look forward to what comes next
Game needs more shanties.
Ketchup is mine
Fine. Then I'm claiming the spicy brown mustard. xP
Im taking the Jalapeño ranch
i claim the beer cheese
Waiting for EA so I can mod in ridiculous stuff
You dont want to try vanilla first and mod when gets old?
some people need their hello kitty sails, dont judge em haha
Lol just thought you save modding til you get bored of vanilla, qol maybe
I always call my ship the ‘Ragamuffin’. Has a funny story behind it so my first ships are always named that. Any other ships that come after their names are circumstantial
can you add the black pearl? /j
The Valiant? Idk, i'm still picking
First mods I was planning were going to be purely jokes.
like a jar of dirt that does nothing
Or something like "One claimed this is a jar of cocaine... no wait it's just dirt."
wait a minute this ain't sea foam
yes. do it
I'm totally throwing shade almost 4 years later.
Just make the jar of dirt a placable decoration probably
wait... why was that blocked?
I find it funny how a certain pirate we all know actually stole the jar of dirt in real life.
Really? why is the name blocked?
What do they use for automod here?
because it might be a case that it's blocked in the core automod and not a server specific thing.
One sec going to put that to the test...
Nope it's blocked only here.
Johnny
Oh wait a second...
That's so stupid...
Ok no not that... it is literally just the last name blocked for some reason
Oh
ok so apparently the last name is also a German insult.
the fact i die in like one hit from a fkn boar is dumb
Who knew automod of all things would teach me something new...
Johnny Derp
yes but the last name essentially in German translates to an insult basically calling someone slow.
Are there even any German speakers here?
Oh yeah there is a German channel.
That would explain it.
there's a lot of dep to that
i mean we got 10k people just online rn. there is at least one lol
De-pp be something akin to "fool"
yeah.
it has many meanings depending on tone of voice and relation xD
how do i not get 1 slashed by a lvl 6 pirate... ive died like 10 times
upgrade gear and weapon and eat food for hp buff
build a low level bed with 1 thatch roof panel over it, attack die run back to him attack as their hp doesnt regen fast
rinse repeat
I wish to share a picture of my calico kitty being sweet sleepy girl.
Please show!

or just learn to parry. I learned that pretty quick by accident how effective parries are... honestly should have tried that first considering how good they are in valheim too
Just parry a few times and enemy becomes staggered/stunned for multiple seconds to give you free hits.
i just swing 3x with the hali then backstep regen repeat - no parry needed when you stagger their every other move 🥳
for me it's 1 hit parry 1 hit parry 1 hit parry until stunned, and then just spam until out of stamina
well sometimes more than 1 when I noticed an opportunity... parries come off on pretty short notice so there isn't much of a risk not being able to parry on time
Any news of release date??
so when is The release date?
Hasn't been said yet. There is a reveal for Windrose at that event so speculating thats when the EA release date will be announced
But I heard this:
I have planned that day off and Friday 38th
The mystical 37 days in a month
13

The 13th month every year is a free month 😄

good day people
That's a real devotion sailing a ship and playing a sailor at the same time. 😊
whats new ? Is there an ETA for the EA yet ?
ah well ... so "no"
tune in on April 9th to see

If you sail that boat and log in to Windrose to sail your ship...
That would be commercial value for the dev. 😁
its not the only boat i sail neither
My biggest real life boat I'm currently "sailing" is a kayak. 😐
damn. Mine's in my pfp
There are, lots actually. In the german channel there are more than 10% of what the general-chat has at any given time.
But I don't get why that "insult" would get blocked. It's not a really strong insult, and that's his surname after all. I mean, come on...
hear me out they should make it so you can dual wield swords or have a sword and dagger
dual wield muskets
Deagles for everyone!
what about giving us cannon arms i already have them irl
I think if you want cannon arms in game you should have to go to the gym for years.
nah steroids man
That stuff will mess you up, just say no.
Morning ☕️
Morning (sips coffee)
Because we keep spamming Jack Sparrow GIFs.....and with every JS GIF, we needed to drink 😛
I think it was something @ancient charm said about the Jack Sparrow GIFs, which he Looooooves btw, that triggered that.
a few days and 1000+ JS gifs ago XD
fake news that is AI
it's a GIF 😛
Hey guys, just finished the demo, this game look soooo good
Can't wait for the early access
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 #│announcements message from Yar_Master.

So short answer on Early Access. Early access is Soon to be sometime in 2026 🙂
Also can see latest on upcoming Triple-i Initiative #│announcements message
yeah, they announce a lot.......
A LOT I tell ya.....
but still not the treasure we're waiting for.
i just hope they make it bethesda style
and make it so the modding comunity can help them
Imagine him being casted as Jack Sparrow XD
Count me in Cap'tain !
Time getting closer though 😄 Read more on those from the dev's here #💬│windrose-chat message
This guy.....is the proto-type for BIG TEASE!!!
XD
What movie is that from btw?
hahaha, but is it funny?
yea, but it needs you to take light of the world
I am un-offendable haha.
good omens
ever seen that? i would rate it higher for you if you like pirates more then good omens is for christians
googling it now
both are perfectly fine shows
dont even....
Oeh, Terry Pratchet inspired. Love it already!
haha, just don't get banned, for others might be a little less "un-offendable" than me 😉
hey we can always be banned into a private room
banning like that only means admins dont joke around xD

I'm good with some banter. But this here is still a public channel so dont let it go too far
wooops
Other than that, carry on
better boss?? i didnt read that before
Hey everyone, just a reminder. Please be respectful of each other. Read the Rules #📜│rules and be polite on any topic. Otherwise, Walkin the Plank will be enforced.
i can do better
Once people start pushing the edge they go over the edge, .
aye, that is a guarantee haha.
I'll keep it clean.....UNTIL EA 😉
or a private chat with me... windrose gave me a shovel and i love digging myself a hole
Afternoon sailors!
any release date yet ?
what do you mean it's broke ?
early acess is the we are broke solution
so they can add more to awsome game and stall resease for more content
writers strike just means they go broke less fast... we get more game
i want whatever drugs you are smoking
math is not smokable... neither is simple economics
You're just guessing bro, you're not their accountant
🤨
like its not even upto them
my head hurts now. time to turn the internet off
hey, i saw what some mods did they would have had a better demo with some more tease imho
death plane un nececary 🙁
You would have a better sentence with some punctuation. 😛
i would have more punk with out an education
i mean pirate ofc guys
because an unknown error occurred
they have a checklist to do somewhere
here it is #💬│windrose-chat message
33.5 hours in and I freaking love this game. Got the recipe correct and it has hijacked my reward system. Please do not make it pay to play. I'm trying to stay off the streets.
pvp could be possible with the ship fighting. I do not think I would like it not on the ship.
Saaaame. Now I need more content to experiment around with 😅
At least a couple more different ships would be cool
sword play is amazing. My xbox controller works well except in the inventory menu, the mouse drifts and the screen does not always transition. Using a mouse and controller is not hateful.
The tree felling mechanics are dope. You can domino multiple trees to fall together if your good lol.
been playing with keyboard and mouse and only have some issues when mining since I gotta build stairs on some points
Speaking of, being able to light up the mines with torches is really a nice touch
I have struggled with that as well. In the caves mining copper. The machanics do not work the same as when building. If I tear down a pier footing I can get multple things down at one time.
Yes 100, and the darkness around the corners as if fades from light to dark. Night blindness is apparent as the dark will slowly start to lighten up slowly.
That is immersive
oh yeah the lighting effects are super cool
I have started a building that I can sea from the sea as I approach the shore.
One thing I have noticed that I don't know if it is game or settings. The grass populates as I run closer to it. This takes away from the realness. I don't know if that's my pc or graphics though.
we have been just messing around and exploring all the mines as some have hidden passages
suddenly finding zombies in there is always a thrill 🤣
might be the graphic settings
grass can take a toll on some graphic cards
Would like to see sirens. A siren cut scene after being drawn closer to an island with beautiful singing. Break to cutscene of three hot gypsy pirate chicks danicing around a fire to some jazzy gypsy music. Just to be ambushed by three sucubus sirens waiting to suck my soul out. In the bad way.
That would definitely set the mood. Having sirens and some other sea creatures would without a doubt be a plus
Medusa boss guarded by sirens.
I wonder is what they have planned ship wise. Like are we going to see just the standard boats at the time or will they take a few artistic liberties and add boats from all over the world without ever going modern
Like faction based. Spanish, french, britian regalias
It has been confirmed (by both leaks AND the game devs) that Windrose will feature the HMS Nelson (28) 1922 Nelson Class Battlship as the starter ship the player gets at the very beginning of the game 
(for obvious reasons this is a joke)
Oh neat!
- picture loads in
Oh wait...
Yes but at the time it would have been His Majesties
HMS = His Majesty's Ship
but i cant
some one promt me up?
can some one ask grok what the right way is, too find chinese boat gif in diksword temor bach?
batch
It's Her/His Majesty ship. Depends if it's a king or queen
Ik
right
Considering I'm trying to join the RN I think I should know the difference before going in lmao
wait that took me too long so i guestimate
UK royal navy
RN doesnt make for good pirates... only priveteers
quit while you are ahead before you fall off cheap ladder
NN navy unless ur going submarine
these drones are off the hook!
u know submarines outdate that HMS ship... can i make illigal submarine tea exploit please?
I thought it was Her Majesty's Service, shows what I know lol
Tbh that's the only explanation I got.
It depends on the pronouns of the royal on the throne. QE2 died so now it's His Majesty, rather than Her Majesty since King Charles is now the reigning monarch of the Commonwealth realms.
Yeah, Queen Elizabeth is still on the throne in my head lol I was more referring to Ship instead of Service. I always thought it was the latter
"We serve the Golden Throne!"
"FOR THE EMPEROR!?"
"No, FOR QUEEN ELIZABETH!"
lmao this is fantastic
I would've approved of this lol
Bolt me into a giant metal suit and I'll defend it forever lol
Heathens unite! Begin the Heresade!
One question: can the save file from the demo version of the game be used for the final version when the game is released?
no
first
Even carrying over just your character will at best corrupt the ave
worst itll mes sup your install
uninstall keyboard stop using it as a placeholder rolling plate
Oh, okay, thank you so much, guys.
i gotcha boss
Mate of mine bought and is playing Crimson Desert.
This is what he just said to me:
"I am being robbed so I trew a cat at the guy.....because I was out of Inguana's"
(sorry, a bit offtopic, but to funny not to share 😛 )
guy was streaming the CD windrose mod pack yesterday
he reddited that he had to safe load RnG rolls to make money fast
not a pretty game loop
waiting from heer for windrose
Are there "magic" boxes? or do I need to have build mats in inventory versus pulled from crates to build?
It's "magic" boxes so long they are inside the same bonfire you build in.
Hmm, cause I have stones in my bags at the bon fire, but wont let me build with them unless in my backpack
