You can farm it from the pirates on the 3rd island
I'm on the first one TwT
Follow the quest, you'll be good lol
We request people to post the videos in media sharing because if we start allowing one we have to allow all and then that floods this channel - you can talk about them here and link to the video in media sharing if you wish to show or explain, or to direct conversation there. Keeps this channel more for discussion 🙂
you can't craft it in the demo, but you can farm it from pirates and pirate camps pretty easily.
Where do i find Clay?
There are small groups of it, usually near the shore. It looks like mud
It is on the first island
theres a clay pit on the first island i believe
It took me a while to find because I didn't know I should be looking for it on the ground lol, I was looking for some sort of rock
Clay pits are on all islands, just walk around a bit in from the shoreline and you will find them
I just completed the demo, and was wondering what else to do... didn't think to build a kickass town.
I think a lot of us have done exactly that lol
I am just curious that when the game releases, will the investment that we make into the demo transfer to the full game.
It will not
That is unfortunate
Clay
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 with some QoL improvements requested from feedback by the community 😉
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
nvm. got it XD
But we will have so many more tools to make things look even better lol
well I don't mind redoing the first few hours again, so I look forward to it
Yeah I don't mind redoing my first 100 hours lol
Hey hey gang, I'm new 
The only thing I hope they improve, is when the ship crashes against the waves, is a much larger splash. More of an aesthetic improvement and not a gameplay change
There's a lot to improve but it's an early demo and it's very promising
I can't wait to see what EA brings
Agreed, but in comparison to some of the other pirate/seafaring games I have played, Windrose is off to a very healthy start
EA will create a masterpiece the set it on fire
then try and sell us the ashes
By EA I mean Early Access
Came back and PC has obviously crashed at some point. Am gonna try the studio drivers next then furmark and passmark because they do a free trial
Did you read the post in announcements on Steam - click link there #│announcements message and the pinned messages have some peaks from dev's on what's to come above in pinned 📌
I read it twice lol just waiting on the release now 😄
Shall I read it again, is there something hidden in there?
when this game releases i will play it. and i will be happy.
what else can be said?
cooking in da boat :3
Nice. can we get a shot of the sky from the water?
If it's clear anyway lol
Report back when you've done that... remember to run DDU twice and remember to use the "disable windows update" thing so it doesn't ry and put what ever drivers it thinks you want to use... 🙂
cat
anyone seeing this on linux? I can join a server if I make a new character each time, but I get stuck in the intro tutorial after the cutscene, i just end up on the boat alone
it works great in singleplayer though
There will be world peace?
post in #1352659456911212636 sharing please
you also forgot, we also will have the april event 🙂
we might see some stuff there
Mentioned that several times today lol
I made a steam input profile for controller users, where am I allowed to post the link/name of the controls and the instructions with it? 🤔
demo didnt take quite as long as i thought from what people have said of it, but I think it has a pretty solid idea already and I'm hoping it expands on it quite a bit on early access release, especially in terms of combat
support mightbe a good area
mainly in terms of melee, I'm hoping it gets a little more interesting in what you can do to change the tides of a duel rather than just whack a couple times then block or dodge
The Demo is only 5% content and 2.5% of explorable Area of what will be in Early Access. As far as combat - things get much more interesting with bosses, other harder enemies, different weapons and gear sets are needed. You get in demo some weapons that are much harder to get in Early Access.
Did you look at the post on what is already confirmed for Early Access based off feedback from demo so far?
The link to the Steam page update.
no I get that, I'm just stating my thoughts on the gameplay showcased in the demo
you dont got to sell me on the game i already have myself and a friend who is interested, we used to play sea of thieves a lot and have touched valheim here and there
how we doing?
I don't entirely mind how quickly I got the small selection I did, and I assume the secret weapons you can find are not going to be as simple to come across
I guess maybe I just want the weapon types to feel more stand out from each other? like they attack with different patterns yes, but they dont really feel too different other than that
like maybe have it so rapier adjusts your dodge or something to play into a dexterity playstyle
Friends just got me into this today. About 5 hours into it. The three of us are slow grinders and we over-gather a lot in survival games. But it's been nice and relaxing so far. (I come from 7 Days To Die and Valheim, have played Raft, Grounded and Icarus).
I did have a freeze up with trying to eat the crab meal from my hot bar, slot #8. But if I replicate that I'll submit it to #1298615153209638942 .
I think as you get past the very basic stuff you'll find more developement into weapons and how they feel- Early beginning gives very minimal exposure. Also the traits, and stats on the weapons, gear sets, etc. will all feel more impactful as you get further in. Feels a bit more complex and choices matter more as you fight harder mobs and have to choose wisely on your builds and fighting combinations or weapons. At least for me in last Alpha it felt much more impactful as you got further in, though they have since added traits and adjusted combat a bit more. A lot of feedback was on combat so will have to wait and see what Early Access has in store 🙂
stuff I won't really run into until early access since I dont get those alphas
Yeah the last Alpha was Summer of 2025
I do like the guns funnily enough, strangely not very common in games to be able to shoot a gun while still having a sword ready
We had 13 islands and lots of tiers or gear and weapons, resources, etc. Farming, Fishing, lot other content.
the special musket is strange I must admit, but fun to play around with
basically a blunderbuss with less shot lol
Imma put it in media sharing as random but it wont let me, I thought it was the steam link so I got rid of it but it still wont post 😭
The rifle/musket has more range and single target dmg, the blunderbuss is kinda more like a type of shotgun closer impact dmg on a wider area, short range.
reloading a musket by throwing a ball and some gunpowder in just feels cursed, but it is presumably an early on special variant
and not like a crazy powerful thing or something
obviously I'm not wanting to spend tons of time in combat fiddling with a flintlock reload system, just something I'm thinking about
I guess the store page mentioning souls combat and focus on real history is what is throwing me off
lol
just wanna say it also exist on spotify. https://open.spotify.com/track/43fTQHUd1eNCCjxv1adJ0k?si=2d770d41378b4f2e
They're different buids with different abilities, you definitely play different mechanically with a bleed builld vs a rage build for example, just no real chance to explore the variety in the demo
please dont tell me this message request i got from someone in here is a scam
8 times out of 10, they are.
From here?
yeah
What's it say?
maybe i should have thought about that before i deleted the DM, but basically the whole "hey i decided to DM you specifically about doing an art commission"
Oh yeah. 100% scam
i also get some, most of them ask about my profile pic, i reply (telling them) and then block them.
i always find those variants funny because my profile picture isnt even an OC of mine, its a character from hyperdimension neptunia
I like to call them out on their tracing / ai art, or if I'm lucky stolen art, always cracks me up how fast their attitude leave the building
When ever you get a message request that you didn't instigate ON THE CHANNEL YOURSELF, it's a scam.
I have to had a conversation with the person who sent the message request or it goes directly to strash/report.
i had that happen once, i decided to humor them and ask for samples of their work (like any reasonable person interested in artwork would be), and they proceeded to share art from like multiple different artists you could easily reverse image search, all of them very different art styles
but people that tries to scam from the first post, i see which server is from and then contact a mod on that forum and tell them who and what they did so they can be removed/banned from there.
like i guess it is potentially possible that an artist could have more than one artstyle they can do decently well, but like 6 of them? yeah no way
The sad thing is, that these very obvious scams get people on the hook constantly... they wouldn't do it unless they would get peopel with them...
Sounds like when @surreal sierra messaged my son awhile back for something - My son said someone trying to scam me LOL
HAhaha, thats a good son.
Sometimes its legit lol
in thsoe case better a false negative. than not catching a positive.
@granite oxide first tought was that your son was being naughty and Captain needed the deck shiny... but i don't think that's the reason here? 😄
i will admit ive fallen for a scam before in stupidity and the way they almost always get you or anyone else for that matter is through emotional manipulation
No lol was a chat request for something else and I had already approved it but my son didn't know lol
luckily the steam support is basically seal team six and had it dealt with the very next day, but not everyone is that lucky on fixing it
still funny when he said he was about to block a scam attempt lol
i was surprised when a redname contacted me from here, my first thought was oh no, he got compromised. (but it was nothing bad)
Yeah, at times mods have mesasged peeps, expecially during testing and early demo when we were trying to help the dev team isolate connection issues.
you said last alpha was summer 2025? have they done any sort of testing since then? seems like quite a time ago
speaking of the devil... I just got one as well from this server... so what's the correct way to report that? do I need to do it to server admins or is the discords own thing enough? 😄
especially if they allegedly plan on releasing this year some point
No it was a long test running a couple months. Nothing up until the demo no.
Before that was an alpha in Fall of 2024
as long as thats enough for them to work off of i guess, not used to games having infrequent but very lengthy testing periods
how content wise that alpha compared to the "beta" ?
if scammers were at least smart enough to start with something tangible and not generic "Hi there!"... it's so obvious 🙂
hi there /s
You'd be surprised at how much information and feedback they can get from one build while working on another.
i like to humor them just enough to see why they are so interested in DMing specifically me
@regal gust what's a Nekpek?
Bro I was trying to sell NFT’s!!!
oh my Zero hour. amazing.
quick someone smarter than me think of some pirate version of the acronym
you got zero hour nfts? i would fall for some GLA nfts or laser general.
if zero hour is the game im thinking of, it was a little disappointing in terms of VR games
I'd like a satanic 3d printed dragon skull... just heard about that today so... NFT! 😄
its command and conqour generals - zero hour
ah those games, i just genuinely suck at real time strategy stuff lol
me too, i still love them to death! I can control a bunch of little guys on a map... that's fun 😄
the person is Dr. Thrax a general that specilized in neurotoxins.
but yeah no sorry i better stop, this is not the place for it sorry
apparently zero hour isnt even the name of the VR game im thinking of, massive brain fart rn
zero caliber thats what it was
i will say i dont mind like tactical team strategy sort of games, like the xcom series
sorry i ramble a decent amount
yeah i felt i was also going into one that why i stopped myself.
#🎭│offtopic is great place to ramble about your favourite things 🙂
I enjoy when people irl ramble about their passions.
to be fair, half of it was right haha
close enough
technically zero was right.
remember it's always morally correct to pirate games if the developer is ubisoft.
but its not morraly correct to posess anything from ubisoft. so.
fair counterpoint...
this game will replace black flag anyways.
This will just be another addition to people's steam, games persevere with tiny playerbases for some reason
Morning, gents.

but
black flag is too good
Hello! Anyone else have WAY too much fun with the demo? I’ve spent 12 hours on it so far….
It's "ok".
I feel so much better now hah
I got 2 times that play time lol
I'm loving the demo also 🤭
There ya go 😄
I've completed it twice on easy and normal modes, now I'm just building bases and sailing around causing mischief to Blackbeard's ships 😁🏴☠️
Yes I think you win 🏆
If they hadn't changed the name of the game and made me forget about it I would have had more
It's a lovely distraction from Valheim, where I went round making bases in creative mode 😂
Pirates are cooler than vikings
both are cool
But pirates are 4% cooler
I completed a 500% difficulty playthrough myself, not much of a builder but I did build a stone house with plant fiber roof, doors and windows
I did around 10 playthroughs, some on hard difficulty
morning
500% 😮
It is a great demo! Can’t wait for the EA
I wish we had news about EA - i need to hand in my holiday request 😁
Morning chat
Morning Crawford
Morning. Lazy question; do the trees respawn?
Nope
No respawn of trees, not now, not in EA.
Though you will be able to replant them in EA.
Weren’t Vikings the OG pirates…
No
But a good work around is to create a new world use your farm there, use your ketch to transport mats over
not true at all, pirates are sweaty and stinky, Vikings are cool by default and sometimes very cold
I was wondering. I had logged into my solo game with my other character I was using from my friend's game and saw I had my stuff.
Or do what i did, create a bank world
Then again, "gestures at a whole island of trees"
Yeah whatever you have on you and in your ship stays with you in any world you go
At least in demo
And an even better way is to create said farm-world, prepare matetrials for "take away" and then save that World.
Get the materials over to the real world, restore the backuped world, rinse and repeat. Only need to farm once.
I'm sure it's a familiar site; left stumps in place to test it but.. again... just got lazy and asked here lol
and yes... after this screenshot I re-upped my food.
Hence why i said or create a bank world, which is this 😁
Saw that after posting 😄
Yeah i set one up yesterday
Heck I might even call it "Bancwurld"
4k wood and 4k stone, 500 bronze, all other mats
Currently the only thing that really needs to be farmed would be trees. Everything else is plentiful so long as you use teleportation points placed strategically around islands for quick access to stuff like copper mines... and for that you don't really need to reset much when there's quite a lot of wood even in just 3 islands.
Don't forget to smelt those copper ingots 🤭
...and if you're too lazy to farm stuff like gunpowder, nails, and the other rare stuff, can always dupe that via restoring the bankworld, until you have enough (aka players+ships inventory).
haha! yeah! Just starting my first ingots on my solo test game now.
After spending 500 stone in 10 minutes and just getting 1/3 of my base up…. You under estimate my spending 🙂
Well today is my first day on the game so I don't want to get too ahead of myself. But yeah, just initially curious about the trees and appreciate the chat.
It got me this
You're going to have a blast! 🙂
Spent all day yesterday setting up my Bancwurld, so it should be fine now
Uh oh...
But i kind of low key don’t want to play, don’t want to burn out too quickly
Enjoy it, if you got questions ask
I really hope we get some good news on 9th
Same. I originally only played for 2 hours to get feel for melee combat, but eventually wanted to introduce the demo to a friend that might buy it when it comes out, so we tested until we got access to a proper ship
Yeah, the discord here is a really nice community, very helpful and very responsive. Haven't had that in ages 🙂
And the timing too!!!
uh oh
What I truly like about this, is that the base experience of the game is more forgiving when compared to Valheim. It makes for a more chill and relaxing experience despite of challenging combat
More of an adventure than an expedition into the unknown hoping to not mess up too badly.
Okay, back in business. All 10 ingots crafted, so... so far no issues with that crash. (I'll submit a bug report appropriately if I repeat)
Smelt those ingots... Or just smell them.
I've been enjoying a "creative" mode experience after completing the game, mainly building and sailing.
Smell them, taste them, CONSUME
LICK THAT COPPER
Oh jimeny christmas... thanks!
Holy smokes, I'm looking at the #1352659456911212636 and people are already building amazing stuff...
uninstalls but not really
Have a look at https://discord.com/channels/1260209458924224542/1476333974740664543 😉
Is it true that they plan world events for the game? How would that work, like multi player or how?
Haven't heard that one before... I doubt it though, being a solo/coop game
Imagine sailing with the crew then having to go up against a kraken 😲
Well it was an mmo originally so maybe they’ll keep some infrastructure in place for that
But some big world events would be cool to have
I like how a roof over the workstation isn't as picky as Valheim either. Not to knock another game, but giving an example.
The workstation doesn't mind. There are stations that do mind though.
I just like that there is abit of open space a round them and has a roof and that works as being good.
Yeah I got that. What I meant was: the basic workstation doesn't mind if it has a roof or not, it doesn't even care for a proper foundation. You can build it literaly anywhere. The other stations do mind however, some need a roof, some only work without a roof.
A friend of mine didn’t bother building any rooms, just slapped two roofs over the benches on the ground and it accepted it
Didn’t even know that’s possible, but at least it’s a quick way to have it done quick and dirty
Yeah the game isn't picky about that, for sure.
Also definitely better cutting trees and digging rock/copper with metal tools. I was using stone tools still in my friend's game all day. lol I mean I see that difference in other games, just commenting.
the game probably knows a pirate will put up with any old janky build lol where as vikings has to have perfection 😂
Schhhhh...
Also seasonal events would be nice
So in Halloween instead of headless horseman, we could have the Flying Dutchman 😁
And on Christmas all the drowned wear santa hats...
No sorry, that idea was so un-creative.
it wasnt originally a mmo it just had some elements like dune
but i cant see why solo/coop couldnt have world events 👍
Didn’t play dune (didn’t like base decay mechanic), what were the elements?
A social hub mainly (tortuga) and plans for an arena type area (what it looked like in playtest) each world was its own and tortuga was where people caught up
that be amazing
One drawback of moving away from MMO would be losing the Companies (guilds) - I mean I don't know if they had that, but it being just solo/coop - I don't know how that would work.
But i'd love an ability to create West Ocracoke Company for me and my friends
It would be hard to maintain an MMO audience as an indie studio, I think the new directions the devs chose is much better. You can still create a world called West Ocracoke and play with your friends, it will be against mobs and not against other players but still that's something
Yeah true, still, having some identity that you could show others would be great
🤭
Don't forget the boars and crabs, oooh and the tiny crabs too, everyone should have a Santa hat 😂
I'm a snail thank you very much 🤭 not a common slug
Mornin
anyone playing rn?
Greetings
I’m looking for @tall cradle to explain something if she can dm me that be great
Btw something to keep in mind Vallheim 1.0 is also coming this year (allegedly), one would think the 1.0 release of WR wouldn't want to clash with that window.
I suppose with WR going into EA first, there's not yet a 1.0 on the horizon 😉
Apart from that, it seems not WR is the one that doesn't want to clash, but maybe contenders wouldn't want to clash with Windrose 😂
yeah I am hoping that - only was saying that cause seen some folk saying full release later this year
can only speak for myself, but my interest in Valheim is 0/10 whereas I can't wait for Windrose... 11/10
I actually tried out Enshrouded 2 days ago - I kind of got low key overwhelmed right at the beginning when you unlock building ability - it threw so much at you at once without reasoning
WR and Vallheim did it better
I guess the building could be a bit overwhelming yeah
<@&1354821664998817822>, hmu if the crew needs another beta tester :) I'm a programmer (but not a game dev) so I've done my share of QA testing, very organized, and have taken a strong liking to playing this in my off time.
to me the only thing that's bothering me when it comes to enshrouded are the extremely long timers. i don't mind timers but 3+ hour just to craft some linen is a lot even with lowest crafting time possible
I never even got that far I basically noped out at the beginning, but that sounds pretty aweful timer
You can speed it up in the game settings a bit, there's a slider for it.
i mean, keep in mind one can still make more crafting stations to lessen the time, but I'm not a fan of doing that..looks weird to have five ovens in a base haha
yeah did turn it all the way down but still way too long.. I'm fine with 3h max for a great amount but that's usually the norm for a basic amount :/
that's a war for the ages! Pirates vs Vikings
what good would that do. one side has guns*
then that means only one thing......
early guns that require gunpoweder are pretty much inferior to trainer archers.
those early guns required less skill to use and learn than training a good archer, but when you have a good one those arrows will be hitting stuff.
Waiting on the updates for Enshrouded AND Valheim. >.> Can't wait to have to shovel snow with a magic shovel to be able to lay down foundation for a house. And my other guy's rocking flippers, booty shorts, and a mining helmet.
Hello i just log from Different PC and i dont see my Progress --- what happen ?
you had me at magic shovel and booty shorts 
there is no cloud save yet. your savefile is on the other pc
can i copy the save file from Main pc ? and keep play on secondary PC ?
i should work yeah
Or finish the game again in 2 hours, it is duable with 50% difficulty 😂
At this point Windrose EA will come out before valheim's 1.0
good evening
I think ashlands possibly put quite a dent in future valheim excitement anyway. Not my take but something I see online a lot it's the first time the game got any criticism
Was never personally a fan of it anyway appreciate the solo dev etc but wasn't for me
it is funny to imagine you need a super specific material for a shovel for snow, but to be fair it isn't just Earth realm so
Yes you can, worlds are saved under: \SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Windrose Demo\R5\Saved\RocksDB\0.7.0\Worlds
go into one of those folders i.e DC2A831596504CB28D8353F2C6E14591 if you have multiple and check the WorldDescription.json with text editor - the name of the world is there.
If yall are looking for something to scratch the itch whilst waiting for Windrose. Soulmask 1.0 release is scheduled for April 10th. Plus you can get the DLC free if you purchase between 4/10 -5/10. Really can’t wait for this release though
so WR/Valheim in Egypt
Exactly!!
seems more in line with Conan exiles given the focus on building your army of barbarians and theme
Hi, anyone else is stuck on the Seafarer mission? I already destroyed two of Blackbeard's transport ketches and haven't managed to complete it.
You need to find a specific ship - Blackbeard Ketch, not the transport ships. The area is marked on the map.
im depressed and druck for weeks now where is this game i need it
Same bro
+1.
thx
Imagine if the reveal on the 9th of April is actually a community shanty contest 😳 Best shanty recorded & sent in gets added to the game
was expecting a cliffhanger ngl
As long as they ban all AI entries, this would be nice to see
Only if it's alongside a release date lol
I will take a long walk off a short pier if that is all we get
If this game doesn't drop on the 9th, I don't know what I'm gonna do with my time. I will have to play Warframe even more I guess lol
im tryna install windrose
i launch it, says direct x12 isnt supported
i searched all the fixes and tried them and they don’t work.
can one of you help me here cuz i’m lost.
chicken on a raft
Not sure bro, do other DX12 games work?
Lady Fey with the save 😄
bro
idk anything about computers this talking in this makes no sense to me. is the basic gist my computer is to old or crappy? lmao like
Most likely yes, some of your things may be outdated
so do i update them? or do i need a brand new pc lmao i’m at a loss here
That's what I gather from that thread
like what needs to be updated or do i need to download something?
What does the error say, precisely?
i searched google says like 5 solutions i tried them all and sometimes just another small screen like this pops up saying something else
Press Win + R → type dxdiag → Enter.
Look under System Information → DirectX Version
ok
what system/ OS do you use
Not really helpful
it's not meant to be helpful just calling his system old
Really blurry can't read that
look which windows update u have, dx12 need often 1909 or better
Guys this isn't a tech support channel
i mean at some point its over for a pc..its gotta need some kind of upgrade haha
how do i see which windows i’m on
Ye olde pirate tech support
Please take it to #🎭│offtopic
this aint off topic buddy this is literally related to the game wtf you talkin ab
You are on Windows 11
gishy he the mod
bro you kids be talking about random bs in here and i’m talking about downloading game and this is off topic?
Take it to #🎭│offtopic
ridiculous. fine. “mod”
Kids? Im almost 30.
@dark widget if you in need of this much support then yes #🎭│offtopic
what does that mean in relation to the game.
game can’t play on windows 11?
You asked which version of windows you where on.
If it was a quick fix it would've been fine, there are bug report and support channels for a reason
When is game fully released ? :S
@lavish hamlet #🎭│offtopic
Ha Sea of thieves officially died today! Get ready for another influx of players! I gonna get stuck in and start a role play story about my pirate who's a banished privateer tavern keeper
@dark widget One simple thing - make sure you not trying to download the wrong game client as there are a couple - https://store.steampowered.com/app/4291770/Windrose_Demo/
Windrose is a survival adventure set in an alternative Age of Piracy. It features the classic “build, craft, survive” formula, unfolding across both land and sea.
- On land, the game offers a refined and comprehensive survival experience focused on building, crafting, exploration, and gradual progression. Establish footholds in diverse biome…
the ones on steam and epic games launcher aren’t the ones? or is there a brand new one seperate to those
click the link above I posted it is correct one.
Only the Demo
Any other client does not work from previous testing
take all of it
make it hours pls lol
minutes would be better 😛
WTF is this!! lol
Make it seconds, might as well
Headpat to @abstract aspen since it did looks like she needed it.
need
The collar is kind of something else lmao
hey it's not a shock collar at least 😄
Worse then the 25 cannons from a galleon on Atlas firing straight over my head on beach 😄
officially died?
Or whales spawning from the sky
Well, they did a update video and it was very disappointing and a lot of the player base was on tender hooks with them anyway, and after today's disappointment of no new content or anything I feel a lot of players going to jump ship. Pun Intended.
just looked it up, yeah a bit disappointing i suppose but i doubt they will lose a huge playerbase over it
also not remotely the same kind of game as windrose other than pirate
Thats from World of Sea Battles?
not sure sorry, i put broadside in the gif thing 😂
losing momentum and players, however windrose seems perfect atm, can't wait to see where they take it.
I mean they play completely differently, I doubt most of those players leaving are going to specifically windrose
SoT isnt 'dead; by any metrric. Its just on life support and with dwindling health for a long time now
I dont think SoT will just outright die and get shut down. It still turns a profit (somehow) but overall I believe Windrose is the future of the Pirate genre and will be the next big thing for a long while
SoT has turned into the definition of "dw guys, one more update..."
cant wait to get stuck in
Without spoiling anything, yall gonna be eating gud once EA drops
you can't say that without me wondering!!!!!!!!
Loving the embeds today
that's discord for ya
so is it stictly pve? or will there be room for PVPVE like ATLAS did?
Eh, PvP is not a main focus but its still on the table. If its ever added itll be a long while in the future, probably after full release
heres the quote directly from dearest benjamin
ahhh okay 🙂
you can go ahead and spoil something, as a treat
Shame. It has a good aesthetics but RARE was never meant to take on huge mmos.
Total war empire!
theres gonna be ships!
NO YOU ARE WRONG THAT IS JUST WOKE PROPAGANDA SHIPS NEVER EXISTED
Mmm propaganda ships
WHAT ABOUT THE RUM?!
FAKE JUST LIKE THE ENTIRE ENGLISH ISLES
The rum is gone...
BTW every tried real grog? It's nasty but hits hard
I tried to make grog once. My friends almost beat me up, but it was below freezing temp, so they forgave me and drank it all.
Just water down some rum with tap water, put in some citrus and maybe some white sugar
and we ran out of rum.
honestly straight liquor is nasty, mix drinks are king.
So the Hello Kitty Island Adventure ship. Gotcha.
Nah. Only liquor I can't drink straight is vodka. All others - straight as fck.
I just realize why the respawn gravestone is a barrel! IT'S CAUSE HORITO NELSON, WHEN HE DIED, WAS STUFFED IN A BARREL OF BRANDY
id need more rum for that...
Weirdly I can do vodka straight
scotch is best straight no ice
He got spirited away.
Just couple of days ago I re-read Hornblower and the Atropos - the Nelson and the brandy cask was an awesome detail. Historically true, too.
banger shanty
Also - cheers.
Be having myself a Whiskey soon
i need me some scrumpy
Please do.
Depending on who makes it, since grog can be many different things
Okay fine, spoiler.. there's gonna be water too!!
uninstalling, reporting, and destroying my graphics card
There's a lot of stuff.. but per a previous warning I got posting photos, you'll just have to wait and see
10 days before we wait longer 😏
To be fair I feel we will see the game in ea soon
is there a walkthrough video i could follow? My ADHD won't let me be and figure things out for myself HAHA
O.o for the demo??
Demo is only like, ten hours long, if you really go slow at it.
Demo can be days long if you know magic 😅😅
Took me ~8 taking my time and fully upgrading all my stuff before doing the last mission.
guys i just succesfully fixed my engine that spat out all its oil in less than 5 mjnutes (and thats a liter)
literaly f._k this
i literally can’t even play this game stupid thing keeps popping up saying not supported i’m done. last 2 hours i been trying this waste of my time tf is wrong w your game
You're expecting to play a UE5 game on integrated graphics bud...
Nothing wrong with the game - looks like your system can't handle running it mate.
nowadays thats likes trying to play crysis, on an n64
considering most people don't seem to have issues with it, seems like it's on your end. Do you have another pc or something to try it on?
He left the server y'all...
lmao win some~ lose some, cant fix intelligence
at least the leave button worked i guess
For the best - Why I said long time ago to take it to off topic - I had a feeling it was going to go on for long time lol
Thanks to those that tried to go assist.
ive learned, natural selection works in many different aspects, to include players in communities
some people just need to realize that there's min required specs for a reason..
This sort of thing happens when console people try PC games. It's not as straightforward as to whether or not it'll work.
devs can't optimize for decade old systems, otherwise we could be playing this game on the DS or something lol
there's more numbers to take into account yeah haha
"boohoo demo no work for me, with sub par equipment" .. complains game is trash, i feel some intelect is missing in these mentalities
He has an i7-13700, but no GPU. Trying to use the integrated graphics.
dont wish that on us, there is games nowadays that can run on ds, but lack so much graphic details
whats sad, is even with a 1060 this game would run
(i had an extreme budget build a long time ago, which worked exceedingly well, even when minimum requirements weren't met)
I was running this in last Alpha on a 1060 SSC and it was super smooth before I upgraded my system over Christmas.
and theyre really cheap too, i dont forsee how anyone wouldnt even get a dedicated gpu
i think you can pick a 1060 up for like 40-60$
If they trying to play on a laptop - many don't have ability to add one.
the guy didnt even know what a gpu was, they just bought a prebuilt
lmao i have a katana 15 , i run anything i want
Looking at his chip set and clock speed - he was on laptop - and yeah I saw the whats a gpu lol
I've seen laptops advertised as "gaming" without so much as a dedicated gpu in them. It's insanity, but I'm sure it generates sales.
But some new people do not actually know - which is fine, but expecting everyone to solve a problem that isn't solveable ...
lenevo and dell were notorious for that
Compaq too from what I remember
didnt compaq get bought out by lenevo?
ahh nvm, it was HP
lol might be why there was that issue XD
HP are god aweful with cooling
Ah , well HP has always been super strong inMedical market, but many issues in PC home computing..
ive had a HP laptop, which literally melted the cooling pad it was on
Must have been the intel model.
yeah i believe so
Had that happen as well, AMD just shut down instead of melting.
yeah this was about 9 -10 years ago
Can't wait for you guys n gals to all See what they have in store for The Triple i Initiative #│announcements message
10 days 🙂
i already have an idea,
I mean my laptop is by no means super crazy top of the line and it runs the game perfectly without adjusting graphics, only issue is a known one with checking the bonfire
my guess is EA will either be announced saying following day, or we have less than 2 months till release
I guess it depends on how their dev work behind the scenes is going
seeing how well alot of the demo , and its (hidden) files are i forsee this game is going to be reletively soon on EA
I wish I could test it on my new work laptop. Ryzen 7 AI350 with 64GB RAM.
i mean to be honest, if you have a a grand laying around, you can pick up a katana 15, for about 1.1k
comes with a 40 series gpu, an i7, and upgradeable ram, (stock with 16gb ram)
and an extra msata port for additional storage, (comes with an 500gb SSD)
i havent had any issues with cooling either
The 16GB RAM really kills me, but I get it in the current market.
16gb ddr5.. lmao
Then again, it's probably fine for most things. I play too much Star Citizen and have issues with 32GB of DDR5. Really need 64GB. Currently managing with ZRAM.
looks like they upgraded their new model, comes with 1tb ssd now, (i play star citizen with no issues on my pc
LOL I'm in pyro at the moment XD
biggest thing with SC, is it every other update, they have a memory leak issue, hence why more ram, delays the inevitable
4.6 caused an uptick in RAM usage for me and 4.7 has been even worse. Lots of paging now. Not good.
We can move to the #🎭│offtopic if wanna get in detail on it - been with RSI since 2012.
Lol I'm headed back to work, keeps time moving closer to the 9th
only ram i care about IS MY SHEEP
I grew up on a farm when I was little - bad memory of literal "rams" when we were not watching the billy's lol
Sounds about right. My mom is not a fan of goats.
I aint afraid of no goat.
i just finished "Dispatch" and Windrose is still not done... whay
finish it again haha
i dunno, its a telltale kinda game right?
yeah, if you're familiar with "Detroit: Become Human" its "similar" but visually its like a comicbook
Dispatch is PEAK
oh cool. "overall i did 80% better than others" .. yay top 20% 😄
thats one of those games, where 100% achievements seem at least possible
man i loved that game so much. this and other games like it were always fun to play to me
The real question is Visi or Blazer
Visi of course
The ban hammer depends on your answer
🤝 my man
Also trick question. The answer is ‘both are good’
Obv not at the same time
One or the other but both are great
i never cared too much for blazer. she's visually not my typ and her character also seems a bit .. too much of work 😄
All are valid points.
buuuuut, i'll probably have to woo her now that i'm doing a 2nd run 😄
I chose Visi on my first playthrough because ‘I can fix her’ and I am into her type of character
got to kiss visi though, yay 😄
I think her character is actually way more engaging. and .. yeah .. WE CAN FIX HER
before you move to offtopic. are women the only option?
well, unless you count Royd.
Currently yes. But there’s hope that Robert can have some male romances if they do a season 2
Naaah Royd is just the homie
thats definitely a bro-mance
That’s a bromance
thats enough for me
bromance is the best there is
man, the way royd introduced himself to robert is probably my new fav. go-to for situations like this 😄
sooo is there going to be a 2nd season ?
The devs don’t know yet, publicly at least. They were so surprised with how well it was received they didn’t expect people to want a season 2.
They said they’re open to it and the cast said they’re game but nothing has been done production wise that we know of
wait, what ? how did they not expect that ? i was hooked from the first minute : )
Same, but to me that shows a humble dev team that just wanted to make a good game for the sake of it being a good game
yeah, same. if they ever make a 2nd episode i'd get that instantly.
this type of game making such a great comeback is great
buuuut to not annoy any more weird people, and because i need sleep anyways, i'ma head out. you guys have fun 🙂
consider the following
welp, died on the pirate ketch. ship despawned. guy watching my stream: truly, you are the worst pirate Ive ever heard of. Me: but you've heard of me
I found that kinda annoying, if you die on the ship you had to drag down to 5% to board, your perfectly healthy ship implodes.
But it teaches you do not jump and accidentally land at the bottom of the staircase to get merked by six enemies in a wombo combo.

Hey all… what kind of content can I expect from the demo? Looking for a good pirate grind like atlas….
The demo has a good 4-5 hours of content, unless you like the building like a bunch of us do, then you could put 10s of hours in at least
Came from atlas…. Love building… so I can play it longer just when earl access hits I start over which is ok for me
Not sure if the devs read this chat, but wanted to say: the demo is incredible and it's such a breath of fresh air to see a game that looks this nice also run well, y'all are incredible at what you do.
The devs do drop in from time to time, I'm sure they appreciate the feedback/support
You missed a 0 in that 10 there
Haha only reached a hundred hours personally
That makes 3 so far 😄
3? sorry, I've had a few lol
Atleast 3 people with hundreds of hours confirmed
Ahh I see, not surprising to be fair, the building is amazing in this game
The fact that I can put a block in a block makes everything so much easier lol
Yo this dawg likes to put things in things, we should all put a thing in his thing.
There's gonna be so many things soon™
That's a thing right there
We're all getting banned... Soon™
lmao, that's the 1 am curse
Can you acquire iron in the demo ?
Nope
got spit on it first
HOW THE HELL DID YOU GET A ZWEINHANDER
They testing stuff in early Access build - also see the message here #💬│windrose-chat message where Great Swords are mentioned.
please share that in #1352659456911212636
MB was just too easy lol
a zweihander is kinda crazy for a pirate to be carrying around lol
though can't really think of too many greatsword designs that would thematically fit a pirate
Iron, Gunpowder and some other things are not in the demo. They are already in the game for Early Access. Gunpowder can be easily picked up from farming pirates and pirate camps have a cloth bale that respawns with gunpowder in it.
In 17th century up till golden age - there was a long rapier that was 46" long on blade- not including the guard and hilt. Used by officers, captains and possibly civilians for long reach - would have a blade length like that of a great sword, but called a long Rapier - As the blade itself was not as thick and heavy as a traditional medieval great sword, but more like that of a rapier.
am kind of interested how lengthening the blade of a rapier might change how its used
i got a question for anyone who would listen
does any one know why my buddy cannot join my server even though hes been playing it with me the last few days?
Was sometimes used with a small cutlass or dagger in offhand to have long reach and short reach as needed. Longer blades and short blades had advantages and disadvantages.
Hi, check the pinned messages top 📌 or click here #💬│windrose-chat message for steps to help.
@granite oxide BTW Love you bro, the info you gave me the other day, got my guy into the game
Great to hear!
Think of it this way - If you had a couple officers with 36" long arms and 4 foot long blades holding a group at range - thats a 6 or 7 foot space. They were harder to master and more used by Spanish and Italians as a gentlemanly weapon.
Third run through the demo, decided to set up shop in the copper mine. But the bonfire wasn't close enough to the shore, so I got creative, and lit the beacon.
Usually not used by crew - just officers to hold opponents at bay.
Currently fighting Simon on E33 and hoping god to god that this game kills it with the music as well lol
Have been digging through the info, but not seeing any notes on Early Access dates. Anyone here have heard anything on this?
There is no concrete date yet but hoping for some time this year.
🥺
the assumption is we will find out on April 9th
I was trying to come up with a pun, but I couldn't cobble one together.
I once entered a pun contest. Hoping to increase my odds of winning I entered 10 puns.
||But no pun in ten did.||
Morning, gents. How is your day?
Terrible. I cant play Windrose (literally). Life is meaningless.
Am coping by instead playing Lego POTC
Its not the same
Morning matey!
Almost 50k
Hello can we find the option savefile location ? i want to copy in another PC and keep play my save game
Morning
I posted it above for you
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Windrose Demo\R5\Saved\RocksDB\0.7.0 - you'd need all three folders there (Accounts, Players, Worlds) to transfer everything to another pc

bleak... no EA yet... starving... 😉
Mmm breakfast
Been playing Sid Meier's Pirates! (1987 version on C64) for 2 days now to get my piratey-fix
Even if we hear something about EA on 9 Th I’m pretty certain it will be announcement of the announcement as in the actual date of EA is even further away ☹️
nah, I don't think so... and I hope I am right, not you 😄
that's what I think too... I'm guessing it's EA-accouncement for something mid-late april, max sometime in may.
June…
All I know is that they're hyping up the iii windrose segment and that it's more than just a trailer, so either the trailer is very impressive and probably shows us something unexpected, or also includes a release date
nah, June is too far away in the context of "soon" (a word I'd like not too hear for a very very long time... 🤣 )
Here’s hoping!
hello there
there's no point in pumping up the hype that much and then not telling us something we crave to hear... disappointment will be big
but well, we'll see, and wait, patiently... mostly... let them cook! 🙂
general kenobi
until then: MOAR demo ... and Pirates! (whose gameplay is actually still very satisfying, even after almost 40 years)
I have a specific question about the music of the game. Can anyone tell me who to reach and how?
Either ask here, chances are someone knows, or maybe in https://discord.com/channels/1260209458924224542/1298615271686279208
What’s the question?
goes to someone from the developers
Do you need to ask about OST releases? Or composers/vocalists?
because I am a choir conductor and composer. I have a own sea shanty choir, have someone for writing texts and I could contribute more shantys that are shaped for the game with texts and how they get arranged
We appreciate the offer, however the team have their own musicians/composers and vocals. Until they want to get help from other groups theyre content working with who they have
In the meantime do enjoy the in game soundtracks and shantys that are currently being tuned slightly from community feedback
alright thanks a lot ^^
Must inspire something this genre and shanties in general, had a few offers now from people in that space
Find their website see if there’s contact details send your sample, won’t hurt
Currently dont have a dedicated website to the best of my knowledge. All communication done between Devs and the commuinity is done either in this discord or via steam page announcements
There is one on the net
Aye but it links to our other pages so nothing new
how did the troubleshooting go for your pc? had any game crashes again?
Ahoy and welcome to the sever!
Hey mods, got a question, have devs mentioned any “world” events type of mechanic for the game i.e need to kill big stinky kraken?
Nope. Just tried the tutorial with Bam's announcement. Couldnt even get through that
Not yet. Just roaming blackbeard enemies
My Brother knows a guy who builds PC's so I might ship my tower back south for a weekend and see if he can diagnose/replace faulty parts
Are Blackbeards ships only things that will be a danger on the sea?
With all we know yes. But right now its still a demo, and EA is unlikely to contain anything more than that. However the future could include stuff like that, who knows. Its still early days
True
Got one more question in Alpha was the skill tree what we have in demo or is it going to be bigger in ea?
i think there wasn't even a skill tree like that iirc
what issues are u having if i may ask? i also know a thing or 2 about PC building :3
Could be completely wrong tho
I believe the skill tree is the same. I havnt/cant go through every single skill and checked if therye identical but I believe its the same, but ofc you can reach higher levels in the EA build
Tiddles is right there wasnt a skill tree in the alpha
yay i remembered stuff!
for how it is in the demo now, i can see things being expanded on at some point, be it number adjustments, higher scaling in some respect (like higher stacks for some perks) or whatever but i dont know whats on the radar. it depends on where some weapons and armor-sets go as well since many things are just diminishing returns or straight up Overkill at some point xD
PC randomly crashes when playing some games. Mostly Windrose or anything SteamVR. I dont even get the courtesy of a BSOD, just instant crash and reboot. Very annoying. Ive run memtest, no memory problems. Ive run sfc /scannow and drives are fine. Ive wiped and rest the entire machine twice, same issue persists. Ive run Haven benchmark at full and no problem but furmark has induced it twice. Ive resat my CPU twice but issue continues so Im thinking either something in the motherboard is dying or its the PSU. I have no idea.
Issue started end of january shortly after a windows update and NVIDIA drivers update. I got no clue whats wrong
huh, sounds a lot like the issues ive been having, funny enough
unfortunately yeah, it kinda sounds like a dying motherboard (im with u 😭 )
Could be drivers conflicting with os, didn’t windows had issues with one of its updates
That caused nvidia card crashes
Do a bit of googling on the topic
It def was an issue, everyone thought it was nvidia issue for it only to come out to be windows
I have, and every single problem I find online has the same symptom
Does the game run in Linux? See if you can get it running there
I dont use Linux nor have the knowhow/interest in trying
Fair enough, that requires fair amount of tinkering at first
Aye. I can respect peoples choice to use it, I personally dont have the technical knowledge to do it myself
Could you do clean windows installl without updates?
Skip to the end-ish (about 1 min), youll see exactly what happens. This can happen at any time when playing most games.
oh here's a question
Old version
is the game on an HDD or an SSD
Are you telling me there’s a way to get hold of old version….
Not anymore. Its old and defunct but gives the same result as the demo when trying to launch
ok do u have any HDDs? or just SSDs in ur machine?
I might give the clean windows install a try later today though. I'll take anything
Have you tried this https://www.reddit.com/r/nvidia/s/YxSWYqaFfJ
Rolling it back like suggested in thread
Good question. I believe I have 1. I shall have a delve and see
it probably doesnt have anything to do with ur issue, but idk, seeing ur game trying to load up in that video made me think of hard drive issues
This post specifically https://www.reddit.com/r/nvidia/s/uG83Kys716
If the system is impacted, revert to 'Windows 11 December 9th 2025 KB5072033 (26200.7462 / 26100.7462)' update. Windows > Settings > > Windows Update > Update history > Uninstall Updates OR wusa /uninstall /kb:5074109 at a command prompt.
Look at the whole chain of comments
I scanned my drives and it found no issues. I still think it might be failing hardware
Ill try the rollback later and PRAY it does something
Hmmmm, I belive Ive already tried this at some point
it does behave an awful lot like my damaged board from a while ago....
yeah it probably is unfortunately, we are siblings in suffering 😭
Look below in comments someone said there’s a newer version they had to remove first
after a few rollbacks, resets, checks and all that it started bluescreening and refused to boot anything but bios and bluescreen out eventually.
Nope. All of these were already uninstalled. I'll give the clean install a try alter
☹️
Ouch My budget is crying rn
Why go for asus
Its the one I currently have installed
I'll point out I have no pc building experience so idk exactly whats good and whats not

Equipped with a PCI-e 4.0 slot as well as an Lightning M.2 with M.2 Shield Froz...
Would that work?
No idea. I want to try eveery avenue before replacing parts
Ah well. Im tired from Gym so imma go rest for a bit. Behave yall
part replacement isnt too difficult tbh, it's like adult legos, just need to make sure u get a board that matches your RAM type and your CPU's socket
💪 🛏️
Which I have no idea what to look for lol
I'll probably end up taking it to the tech wizard my brother knows and see what he says
probably just look up the manual for ur current mobo, all that info would be in there, but yeah probably take it to the guy that knows what he's doing lmao
adult lego lmao
im dreading the need to properly clean my heatsink since i dont trust my 2 left hands not to break anything. no idea how to take it apart xD
Ive already dropped my CPU chip once lol. I dont trust myself handling pieces again
if u get a pic i can probably help figure it out, heatsinks generally arent too difficult or dangerous to take off
💀
also WHY slow mode in general chat 😭
Bear in mind its fine and still runs, a couple of pins were bent but I put them back in shape. And my crash problem is unchanged so no harm done
If self-building becomes an option (cause the tech guy from your brother doesn't have time or charges too much or whatever), you can alway ask here. There well be enough people, me included, who can help and are willing to do so; finding an alternative mainboard for your rig wont be a problem 🙂
Trust me its needed when it gets busy
I plan on playing by ear and seeing what happens
this
unplug the power, don't touch anything on the boards directly with vacuum cleaner, or better, compressed air. it's not that complicated, but I understand that it might be daunting 🙂
issue is theres a fan i can slide off and a fan INSIDE the sink.
noticed it blowing air in there and i heard it spin up like...nope, not gonna do that xD
it's not a problem that that fan spins up 🙂
but if you fear it spinning, just take a wooden skewer and block it from spinning
poor light in my cave-arse room didnt do me any favors. cleaning day may be closer that i thought-.-
usually a lot of dust settles on that fan though, so it would be worthwile to get that fan out and clean it too
omfg... get that out and clean everything 🤣
vacuum clean the back of the case too, and every other part and corner you can reach without touching the boards
aye, ancient house of dust and poor lighting causes oversights.. xD
Been there, done that... but trust me, you WANT to get that clean ASAP
and thats where the dread of taking things apart came in right,
the top fan, i can slide that up a rail and take it out easy. on top of the heatsink theres a broader solid strut...thats roughly where the second fan is that i can reach at all
have you tried gently pulling at that "be quiet" cap? it might come off easily. haven't had that specific tower cooler, but similar ones. it should come off easily to grant access to the underlying fan
i will try
im always kinda scared to really touch anything in there too much. no capacity for this pricetag twice if all breaks down
I get that. But as long as you unplug the power cable (!!!), get yourself grounded (i.e. touch a heating radiator), and do not touch any components like mainboard and graphics card with anything else than your bare and dry hands, nothing should happen.
Gotta go to work now... good luck!
IGNORE THIS ADVICE!! FULL BORE AND INTO THE BATHTUB WITH IT!!
... as long as you let it dry afterwards before plugging in again, it might even survive that 🖖
if i break my shite, let it be known...i should not be allowed to touch any of that sort again. lmao
feels kinda pathetic to be scared of that kinda stuff ngl
Bro gonna fail his dex check
go ahead, roll. one d20 for your dex check
Tells me to never play DnD.
Its a 2
But please .... in gods name please unplug the power cable before going full steam ahead into bathtub.
uh oh, you've tripped and dropped your PC off a cliff into the sea! it's likely gone and you need to buy a new one. very unfortunate! (roll better next time 🤓 )
Damn that thing went far then. U sure that wasnt a STR check? xD
I'm surprised you could even lift that pc lol
What ships were confirmed to be in early access?
dex check so bad, a cliff and water spawned just to rub it in xD
||Ketch|| 🤫
how dare you!
half the rig made me feel like an absolute doorknob. hail over-complicating mindset.
in the end its just an expensive puzzle lol
aye. noted: taking out the center fan requires a firmer grip. it wont budge if you pull it like an absolute cat (ye follow)
If you feel it wortht he investment, you can also buy a rechargable air duster, instead of buying the electronics dusters from box stores.
I also tend to use a soft-bristled paint brush for cleaning tougher surfaces, although that could be a mistake, and I'd trust more hardware-inclined people to weigh in on that one.
aye used pretty much exactly that and the vacuum on the outer shell brushing dust toward it
Out of curiosity, how long is this game in development?
Me and my friends were blown away with amount of QoL even tho its a demo
roughly 3-5 years iirc
Indie studio doing what triple a slop machines wouldn’t even think of
love to see that
they got too comfy in what theyy got forgetting a lot of things in the process. the reminder was bound to come knocking lol
I dunno crimson desert seems a hit, think triple a or indie some are good some are bad 🤷
well triple A been throwing turds out left and right lately lol. crimson desert is okay lol.
I got salt in the demo 😂
Is their way to unlock roofs that r wood in the demo to ? Or nah
waiting for it to go on sale, i might be waiting awhile lol
nope. plant fiber is all we got atm
cope with the wooden ramp among the stairs. its aight xD
sticks work too but are a little more tedious haha
Damn I’ll see what else I grab from those ships lol every time is different maybe I get sum new 😭
Me waiting for the EA announcement... Can't wait to unleash my inner conquistador and pirate and get to ransacking with fellas through the Caribbean 😁
Yeah, but I've got high hopes that devs are cooking good.
Been a while since I've been this excited for a game and come here checking it up regularly 😅
Started watching Black Sails and downloaded SoT again to make the wait a little easier
Don't do it!! lol well black sails yes the other no 😏
The itch for plunder is too strong
I like black sails so far but there’s something about flint’s and vane’s voices.. why are we whispering all the time
i had sniffed people talking about crimson desert , i'm glad the nay sayers were very wrong about it , i've been enjoying the game a lot actually
sup lovely people 🙂
all i heard was people saying the game will be decent tbh. i was one of the people who said its gonna lack focus on what it wants to be. and seeing the reviews..it kinda does lol. i didnt see the overly complicated controls comin tho. that was an interesting read haha. but makes sense considering who made the game
its like the gift that keeps on giving , you solve one thing , you discover another layer of puzzle underneath , and secrets , secrets and more secrets , it's really refreshing to explore over and over again
the controls is indeed a bit of an issue , there are changes of controls at atimes that makes your brain forget how it works in this game , but because it take some mechanics from other games your brain gets tricked sort of , yeah a few thigns can be annoying .
i didnt play it myself..most likely wont. but ive read that the game takes a while to pick up the pace (at least for most) how was it for u?
the pace can be a buit "weird" at first , basically all the reviews that had been made with less than 8 hours of game were fake , but after that amount of hours , you realize you are STILL in a sort of giant tutorial , (so again , another layer )) so yeah you sort of keep trying to keep the pace i barely started going to another province in the game , i have 77.4 hours of game , havne't played these past two days ...
it's a ver time consuming game , but also VERY rewarding .
sounds like a 1:1 to black desert atm~
Use the walkway planks
it's evolved form black desert
it's a bit more complex in depth , but yeah , roughly
i mean i wouldnt call these reviews fake..a game that needs 8h to be good should receive that critism
what are we talking about ?
all i can say for now , i do NOT regret buying the game as i had though . and seeing how much they try to please everyone about the issues , and making very extensive patches ... they are listening to complains , wich always feels nic e, even more nowadays
im aware,
didnt expect for one house to just (basically) copy-paste almost all the pest to another game and not really improve on it.
i dont know the details but fromwhat is being said it does sound like that
not when you say the game is limited when basically you haven't explored yet
you are free to do as you want , but without some abilities you will probably miss 50% or more of whatever you may discover without it . and that's what most of those reviews were saying , by empty worlds , limited this or that , no fishing etc ... when in fact , there is fishing and many other activities , but the game introduces it alongside a main quest
well i though it was funny , because i realized that black desert had very bad controls and so did crimson at first so i see it as their "signature " now when they make a game xD
but one really cant blame the people not wanting to play 8h of "boring gameplay" to MAYBE like the game in the end, its critism that should be there for all to see. cuz i myself would want to know that kinda stuff before buying a game
The game is complicated and it takes some time to learn. Kiddos and some adults today have zero patience.
or simply not the time or want to learn that kinda stuff.
Friends that played for 10 hrs hated it, they got to 20 and are addicted and will be putting 100s into it, good enough for me but im just not that keen to pay full price so waiting on a sale
thing i s, it's not even boring , it's just that it is required because the game is much deeper than hat it seems at first . and the player has obviously not access to all abilities or powers since the start , rarely anygame does .
Then they should admit that it's not for them and move on. Giving it a bad review is just ridiculous.
When u work full time, have other hobbies and responsibilities to tend to, spending 8h on something that didn’t hook you is just not something that gonna happen, unless there’s literally nothing else to do
honestly it's mostly what i think too . and to be faire when you get 77h of gameplay , being introduced to another mechanic while playing makes you smile because the game keeps basically saying " hey there's also this btw "
for some, they are not impatient but are looking to sink their teeth into something and simply dont have the time to play long/much per day to go through all that.
many dont want to walk through 12h of arse until it gets fun, they want the way there to be fun
Seems to be the consensus, slow at first and frustrating but super good if you persevere, I can't get my friends off it so im sold lol
its their opinion. its valid. it makes sense people dont like to play for an entire DAY before it might get good for them. glazing a game and ignoring stuff they do wrong is not helpful...at all. without those reviews many issues would not be adressed
see??? and yeah , at firs ti like dit because i noticed how the game was basically throwing info at the player and the rythm of new things , gladf to see your friend felt the same
Friends* got 3 that said it sucked now wont shut up about how good it is lol I feel half the reviews bailed too early but thats fine, their choice. The reviews on windrose on steam said it sucked, combat too hard etc... just the world we live in
Not true. The issues that were brought up were also brought up by people who love the game, because they love the game. And they also didn't give the game a bad review and only reported the issues.
what game are you talking about ?
Crimson desert
ah, alrighty, cant contribute to that discussion. continue 😄
to me , nowadays it's refreshing to be able to be rewarded in many aspect both as a newcomer to a game as much as a daily player , as Mick said , it's addictive . and rewarding . and fun , because then you learn how to use this or that more efficiently , then suddenly you rmemeber that waterfall , or that tower you saw in that place , that had a strange symbol , then you travel back there on your new horse or TP find back that place and discover a hidden wall leading you to another area or treasure . it's impossible to not enjoy that as a player .
you do realize steam only has either good or bad reviews, right? many times i see reviews talking about how a bad review isnt even a bad review just a "i dont have a middle ground". im sure if we had that, stuff would look different. bad reviews get seen, so give it a thumbs down. tell whats wrong and be on your way
I dont like puzzles or parkour in games but love open world so ill google the puzzles and chill in the world, combat looks cool so that'll do me 👍
It's quite easy to leave a good review with caveats.
mmmh to be fair e, i haven't seen much glazing at all , haven't seen anyone saying the game is perfect , personally my only complain is about the controls . i had no graphic bugs or anything , and playing at everything max with an average of 125fps . aside from that big issues seems to have been resolved before i reached them , because i am not rushing the story mode.
why should a person leave a good review if they feel like the thumbs down fits better for theirs?
Ooof, if I have to explain. I'm not going to lol
yeah i think theyre about to fix the controls iirc
AC gives me nosebleeds and pimples , i don't have that issue with crimson desert , but maybe maybe because the way it doesn't give you any pointers on how to solve things is actually addictive , also the fact that often you have the subtle way of solving an issue then otherwise you can just brute force your way trough it
its also valid and easy to leave a bad rewiev on something that just doesnt feel good to that person no?
Reviews have gone from mixed to very positive so it all evens out in the end 👍
aside from this *fk my writing is horrible today , sorry for that *
yeah cuz they actually seem to listen to the critism people have. its really refreshing
Nah i hate puzzles lol no judgement on people who do thats just me
many dont go back and change a rewiev or even give stuff much of a second chance after a while either so thatss to keep in mind as well lol
yes , and they are being very active about the patching . wich obviously gives a nice feeling
if only more would put that work into their games..hope it becomes the norm. games with developers that listen seem to pop off a lot lately and it makes me extremely happy
oh i totally get it . i'm really not a big fan of it either , but they mad ethem entertaining because there's always a breadcrumb or two in front of you if you can see it that allows your brain to think of that " oh , how about i try this this or that way "
i think it's part of why this game is working good , may it serve as a message for other companies .
baldurs gate 3 rattled these companies before. guess its time to send another reminder haha
many games lately run into the mistake of not really looking at what they got it seems. a lot of stuff comes out, gets flak because reason (runs bad, feels bad...whatever) and a massive day 1 patch is needed for stuff a blind man would stumble across within 2 minutes so to speak
yeah , correct !
i mean even phyisics , the first waterwall i saw in the game was laughable , less than two weeks later , even old devs of rdr2 say their water looks beautiful and that the rendering is almost flawless , and better than theirs
people got too used into the UE5 soup and the usual company AAA behavior .
many things are rushed. im glad the windrose crew takes their time/ has the ability to.
no matter how many people come in and sometimes even complain about it taking too long..art takes time, let them work on it and make it the best they can.
yup , true
And people still leave reviews saying combat too hard lol why I dont really bother with reviews steam especially
im not a guy that needs instant gratification for what im doing in a game. i get there when i get there for as long as the road is fun. i can see ppl of all sorts just sitting there and be like "No. i dont wanna go through 6h of quests just to go fishing" and i get that.
the main issue today is ppl cant read anymore xD
th eonly thing this game makes me miss is that living in japan makes it more expensive or impossible to make easily gamign evening with grilled cheese sandwiches , having shots of jack daniel's and maybe some rollable laughing cone ...
those are the types of reviews i dont take into account for myself. what they might think is hard i might find easy. this is the kinda thing where im like "gotta see that for myself" haha.
my only complaint is that there is no unlockable double jump
there is
if talking about crimson desert *
Ah nope, sorry
Well, well… it’s Tuesday, and not just any Tuesday—the kind that invites a little mischief. You feel it, don’t you? That subtle spark, that playful pull toward indulgence. Relax, I’m not here to corrupt you… not entirely. Just consider this your gentle nudge to enjoy the view, savor the moment, and perhaps… admire what’s worth admiring. After all, temptation isn’t a sin—it’s an art. And darling, you were made to appreciate fine art.
So stop chasing it and instead let it chase you, because in the end..? you are the prize!
Its Wednesday 😏
though the same
It's time for sleepies Mick
Its pretty much what early reviews were saying about CD and reading the earlier comments it seems people did take that as a fair review... I watch games and ask friends i trust who know my game choices as reviews are too impatient these days
over here it is tuesday, my friend
Im on nightshift mate another 6 hrs to go, just passed midnight here
so , anyway , yes , a very pleasant surprise this Crimson Desert , perhaps not for everyone , but as i said earlier , it seems i'm part of a "lucky" group that had no graphical issues and being able to run all maxxed out . only the controls are frustrating enough at time for me to be contemplating the human sacrifice as a viable option to improve them faster if allowed.
tuesday , 11pm here .
Teusday 4 pm over here
oh and btw , nice music too
why thank you, highly appreciated
Just finished watching sandman, lost ya wings mate 😬
XD
well gents i'll go back to exploring and improving my stuff , have a good one 🙂
