Stop using VR and just play it on a flat monitor?
Can you even imagine a Azure Dodo running up on you in VR? I would need therapy! >.<
what about one of those huge beastie boars charging full whack at you 😂 🐖
PSU would be my first guess if it just dies. Hard to tell what the deal is if windoze is just randomly deciding to reboot. First guess there would be updates.
Killing you /w my mind rn fo that one chief
nope nope nope, i already feela a type fo way when they charge me on my monitor
I live in Houston so I see that every time I walk outside my front door...and they have guns 😝
I technically have a VR headset my brother gave me, but it's an old WMR Odyssey+. I can get the headset working, but not the controllers. So I'm left with my pair of 1080@60 21.5" monitors. They've been serving me well for over a decade.
Ive been trying damb near everything to diagnose what the problem is with no luck. Will be taking it to a tech wizard my brother knows sometime soon hopefully
Greetings from the NW side. I've had more trouble with dogs than anything.
So, real talk time gang. How can we as a community best help Windrose Crew at this time?
yes... 
All abourd for the gif train! :p
do you have your full specs posted? i can take a look and see if i can spot anything
Its worked fine for the past 2-ish years before now
Again I suspect a failing PSU or motherboard
if its MB then woohoo cheap fix.
PSU isnt that expensive either, as long as its not a failing SSD or RAM i call it a win
What GPU and PSU? PSU might not have enough overhead as it ages.
If everything works fine until youre putting it under stress, i would start with swapping out the PSU for one you know works, like a buddies or something, and start there
your "stats" should run WR just fine, and if it worked fine for 2 years i wouldnt think its a seating issue
GPU is RTX 4090 Founders. And I have no idea what my PSU is.
Unfortunatly dont have a spare PSU lying around anymore
5900x and a 4090? My best guess is undersized PSU.
I'll figure something out
if buddy is a tech wizard with a PC, just pull his PSU and put it in yours for testing, given its bigger or newer than yours
I dont think so. Its worked fine the past couple of years running massive stress inducing games like, space engineers, every Assassins Creed, Helldivers, Blade and Sorcery, KSP etc etc. Only after end of January with a forced windows update did everything go to pot
OR I could follow the oldest and noblest of pirate traditions and STEAL one
Then you found your problem... Get rid of windoze!
If youre about to suggest swithing to Linux I'm going to sigh very deeply
We've been through this before... take a deep breath!
lol
Have you ran MEMtest yet? last time I had random restarts one of my sticks of ram was messed.
i think at this point jeezee tried everything lol
all but throwing it out the window 😂
he hasnt given it the mechanic treatment, and i hope he doesent have to. (throw parts at it until its good)
Believe me I have tested my ram to high heaven and back. I originally thought it was a ram problem. Even bought two extra 16gb sticks bringing me to 64gb total when theyre installed. But no. If it IS a memory problem then its the slots on the board and hence as I said it might be failing
Although sometimes when installing some of the sticks the system will fail to boot and the board will have an Orange light next to DRAM. But also it will also boot eventually and work fine.
I genuinly have no idea what I did to annoy the machine spirit
Ive given praise to the Omnissiah on many occassions but no change
Downloading more ram is ALWAYS the solution of course
even better if you use Limewire 😉
God I remember limewire. Giving yourself a virus JUST to have a cool new cursor or download 'Now thats what I call music 3' to the old Ipod
just remember to read the fineprint first 😉
OMG WinAmp and those cool skins
or trying to download the latest spiderman movie.exe 😂
Oh nah youd just but a DVD thats just a recording in the movie theatre
with the occasional cough in the background and the shadow of someone standing up front and walking to the side
YES
Dude I remember I got one of those but for Over the Hedge and the guy sat in front of the camer was tall enough that his head was just ALWAYS at the bottom of the screen
Hi everyone 😊 how do I add items to a chest without opening it, please? Thank you.
if the items are already in there you can auto stack them with (i think) Q by default. you have to have at least one of the items you want to place in it
beat me to it 🙂
Thank you
i am speeed haha. I wasn't sure about the button tho cuz I changed A LOT of stuff
It is Q 😊
I knew the key as I use it often, but due to my lovely dyslexia, it's hard for me to be speeeed 😂
I haven't been this excited for a game release in years. 🏴☠️ ⛵️
alright, now i'Ve played through Dispatch a 2nd time before Windrose is done, what now ? 😄
replay the entirety of Black Flag
What in the world did I walk in on?
I like the 33 Immortals version of the meme more. Hits closer to home
Is game out
Have u tried nuking the os? Sorry to bring it up i got invested in this weird issue lol
Don't suggest Linux, It won't end well 😂
steamOs or CachyOs
@surreal sierra did you get your PC sorted?
Linux propaganda is strong lately but im not quite there yet
the funeral for the pc is being planned as we speak 🤣
Endeavour. Less modified arch is better.
🤌🏻
I said in the reason why, change your name.
?
I am offically filing a report to Discord aswell as to the eu anti corruption directive as you are abusing your Discord moderation power trying to force me to change my name which is does not break any discord tos, EU law, usa law, unless this Discord server is a sharia law server my name breaks NO rules.
My lawyer is here.
i am bar certified
Please inform him that homophobia is illegal and abuse of power is illegal.
who is him
@fast orchid this guy
@fast orchid you need to chill man, why are you homophobic
The way no one moved bc of that lmaooo nice ragebait attempt
I'm glad to see that human rights are ragebait attempts for you
what does your name mean in english?
I am gay I like men
sounds like trolling
nice ring around your pfp. you are not very supportive of your own kind
We don't know, I think that is the issue
rude honestly. i just got here and everyone ganging up on the gay chinese man
So now we're also xenophobic?
calling someone out for trolling is xenophobic now?
Buddy its Discord not linkedin
How old are you pal? 40?
does it matter what it is - trolling is trolling is it not?
Thanks!
Which rule states that I cannot have a name of my choosing?
I didn't say anything of that sort
all i said sounds like you're trolling with that name
So u agree that i didnt break any server rules?
Well trolling might not be allowed
I love this drinking game but seriously I am almost out of rum!
Where politics?
"Trolling is the act of deliberately posting inflammatory, insincere, or off-topic messages online—such as in social media, forums, or gaming—to provoke emotional responses, disrupt conversations, or harass others for amusement." Seems to fit the bill
hhhh he's like that old man from the world cup. ☝🏽 no politics here!!! 😡
Ok and where did I troll pal
Uhg, I hate this drinking game, every time someone comes in and talks politics I have to drink @#$%
Do u like Le Sserafim
Hey, what's up? 🙂
Welcome to all new members - Wishing ya'll a great day
Wholf - blink if you know when the EA date is
Not that I have seen.
Just the Bonfire, that's a known issue
happens to me time to time, but i am using an xbox controller to play the game with
hope you did bring with you a paddle
need a game that is not Valheim or Enshrouded whilst we wait
With sailing?
Conan probably then lol
I ain't sinking 👿
btw mods - 15 second slow mode is tad too much, you're not THAT active
Better?
It was a month ago...
was thinking on more to paddle some a--- here
Keel hauling might be more appropriate...
i think using menus with a controller keeps freezing
Or that yes
Controller support is only partial.
i know but that dosent mean it will freeze the game
there are too many buttons for controller, is there not?
Try using M+K. You said it specifically freezes with the controller.
If it still freezes, it's something else.
mine sometimes freezes as sec or 2 from the inventory menu closing. using a xbox controller
I think Steam does describe it that way, something along the lines of "or may not work as intended"
folka come on now. I cant take much more of this. Please just drop the load. I would argue that you have all done more then enough of marketing at this point. Dropp da load
has anyone here played The Long Dark?
wasn't that the winter-ish survival game?
yes
I feel like I’m already in the long dark waiting for release
Been travelling the last few weeks, doesn't look like any announcement yet?
I won't be home until may, so hopefully no release before then anyway
Notta thus far. I am mostly joking. I’m a big believer in letting games come out when they’re ready. But hey, what do ya do with a drunken sailor
Best Case Scenario: Surprise Early Access on the 9th
Most Likely Case Scenario: EA Date Announcement made on the 9th
9th of April?
2029
Worst case: a repeat of #│announcements message...
Ah yeah maybe
Watch em be like “for the big news you’ve all been waiting for, we are releasing 1.0 playtests for 100 streamers” 🤣
Have from sources this one
on 9th - we announce the EA starts..... on 10th!
The Triple-I Initiative is a collaborative effort among indie game developers to showcase new games and hype up fan-favorites and established indie classics. It aims to provide a platform for independent studios to announce new games and highlight their work. The initiative is backed by strong independent studios and promises to pack game announcements and reveals into a roughly one-hour livestream. The event is free from ads and hosts, focusing solely on games.
The initiative's name, "Triple-I," is a play on words, suggesting a middle ground between the big studios and the smaller indie developers. It aims to provide a space for indie games to gain visibility and recognition in the gaming industry.
though i feel they will wait for some summer game convention to announce it
Oh 9th April i be on a 9 hour train, maybe I can check the summary after
Blackbeard is just lurking out there. I know it.
I don't see him logged on here now
Maybe he got the scurv
impossible. nobody got it here. we get lemons for free-ish
Not the lemons again
i'll have lemons!
found him 😂
Enjoy your lemon. I got my soul back
Get him!
I don't see him
you have no proof
My lips is sealed
@fast orchid
Forgive me, I’m sinking ships with these loose lips 🫢
Pause actually nvm
Minor illusion working as intended hehe
huh?
Don't think about it. He did speak to loudly
I’m being set up. There was a whole conver….. actually you know what? Idk. Disregard.
No but I do
The mods see all!
Poor Tiddles. 🙁
Walk the plank.
Flying ship battles confirmed.
At least I haven't had to build a staircase to get back to my ship in this game. ...yet.
Edit: Must have been a giant wave right as I got out of sight of it, because it was just hovering there. Meanicingly.
No way 🤣
I'm sorry if I already asked this.. I'm old & forgetful. Will fishing be released with EA?
Fun puzzle in Valheim is building a bridge tall enough to let the new tallest ship through
Yes, there'll be fishing
new? Bigger then Longship?
Yea, it came with Ashland update
I have not played Valheim for a long time now
Apparently 1 more big update coming this year
The Drakkar is a big beefy boi. And it steers like a boat.
Rip the cutter
think will be fun challenge to build harbors for them
You will be missed
Especially the one modeled after the Royal William
I saw there is a shovel and it seems to serve same purpose as hoe in Valheim... is it any good for making water deeper?
I used it to make my drydock, it can be used to bring water inland
No, I’m hoping they modify how it works. It’s quite janky in the demo and isn’t predictable.
the showel are for digging up treasures hidden on the islands
I also saw a friend using it it flatten ground like you can with a hoe in valheim, kind of pickaxe and hoe in same package
If you give the player a terrain editing tool, they WILL edit the terrain. Until the game crashes.
I do wish the "dig" feature was the base one, doesnt really make sense that it auto selects attack mode
I better see a shovel only run at some point
Yes, I think the primary purpose is to dig. As far as terrain altering, it’s not great (as of now). I’m hoping they’re working on that!
Shovel, the most versatile simple tool ever created. It digs, it builds, it cuts... but most importantly, it gives a smack
I'm agreed on that. The devs just need to change that in the coding.
Not sure if cursing is allowed here but you were so close to a banger.
Nothing explicitly says.. but I can read between the lines ❤️
Shovel best tool for collecting fiber fast 😉
True!!!! I learned that by accident.
Also… because some people were asking if I was playing modded… I posted a screenshot of a base I made where I put the “dock” piece way up high on a rock ledge. You can use the docks to build a tall base for some new ideas
Gets rid of normal grass too sadly :(
My wife & I played a game together for over 1k hrs. It's been ages since she's been interested in another co-op. I'm gonna gift her this game & load her down with rum lol
That's why you go to another server and load a ship up and bring it back 😉
Yeah, if you grab the dock piece then look straight up, you can get it about twenty feet or so up in the air, just as a single piece.
would be very rude if somebody went around joining random servers to go on a spree collecting basic resources 😂
(make a solo world for that)
Look, that sulfur ain't gonna mine itself.
Edit: Most of my sulfur nodes were way up in the island, instead of in cannon range. So there was a lot of long shot arc attempts and broken twigs between me and them.
Well, I deforested the entire first island and got 16 wood. So I’m sure most servers that are played on have some bald spots 🤣
I started building out of shells and grass and stone and crabmeat 😆
They'd be a True Pirate. That's Something @surreal sierra will Definitely do if you give him half the chance. They have to know the server address and then if it has a password, nothing they can do unless you give it to them.
lol
he would take all the stones from you 😄
Course you can do what I did and then just trash up their organized storage with more junk like I did at one point to @lofty basin lol
I'm guessing eventually someone'll run something like Shroud Depot, where there's rows and rows of chests and the server just resets to full every hour.
I haven’t learned much about the server hopping tactics. Can you explain in Fortnite terms
Fill it with feathers and beads 🤣
Keeping things unorganizaed is so easy in this game for 2 reasons: Good amount of slots, you never have to suffer like players of Valheim do early on when chests have crappy amount of slots and in Windrose by the time you need more slots you unlock much better one...
And the fact that you can craft and build from chests?! Bruh! Every game like this should have it. It's a feature I never knew I was missing, but now I know I missed it!
I mean, if you want a boatload of wood, you just make a new world with resources cranked up, difficulty set to baby mode, then run around the first level one island like a god. Then throw it all in your ship's massive storage.
Dang. And here I’ve been struggling
so
no updates of the release date?
Just gotta keep chanting, "Silksong tomorrow," and one day it'll be true.
Silksong is already out now tho
See? That means it worked. Eventually. :p
Yeah but it also means the chant needs to change
Something about lemons
Only on Wednesday!
hacked, a stack can't be that big legit.
wow good ol' times
memories unlocked

Is fishing or farming open in the demo?
not in demo
Nope and also nope. And no Tortuga.
It is in Early Access.
Thank you
is that gonna be released to alpha in this year or it gonna be same as star citizen ? game is completly done and they wait for better titles to come out to be avoided by them ?
Star Citizen is just vaporware that sells literally $27,000 dollar DLC to a game that isn't even playable yet, for ships that aren't even fully rendered, to people that should know better by now. >.>
As critical as I am of that project, it does actually exist and is actually playable. As for people disposing of that much income to them: fools, the lot.
nah for sure drop that load hard and piraty. I am here for booty
this person gets it
Early Access will be the beginning of Beta and yes soon.
Definitely this year.
thank the lord. I honestly really enjoyed playing it
Did i miss that show you were mentioning about?
nvm it's not the 9th so no. lol
honestly with how hard they teased the show in their announcment, i really do think they are gonna be announcing the date for early access during their segment of the show next week.
Hopefully its not months away, but i'm not getting my hopes up for an immediate shadow drop or anything like that
Just to say this game is frigging awesome atm, loving the demo cannot wait for release if this is anything to go ny
+1
agreed lol, with that said...at least there is gonna be a lot of stuff coming out next week for other games to help pass the time till the show on thursday
Welcome to the server matey and glad you are enjoying the demo!
My doctor never showed up at the bonfire for me, so the first ~3 hours was me wandering around in circles very confused. Then clicked the bonfire and summoned him and things went smoother, what with actually getting to have a boat and all. >.> ~12 hours for the first playthrough, then two of my friends dragged me through their worlds and first times as well. So I'm over thirty hours into this ten hour demo.
Hello does anyone know the 6 lvl Blackbeard transports locations ?
I've only seen lvl 1 & 4 enemy ships.
I made it to the 4th island!
I did once too.
Only lived 5 seconds and then I auto died. Technically I wasn't on the water...
I got 30+ seconds on the beach. Sailed the ketch to the edge of the kill zone, then sailed the boat in to shore.
Nuking the OS?
Nah
Reformat the drive and reinstall.
Might as well switch to Linux at that point... =P
Sounds like an absolute pain in the ahh but I’ll try everything at this point.
I have way too many PCs laying around the house.
damn - didn't you say you bent some pins on your cpu?
Only two. I got them back into shape and it’s working just the same as before. No changes.
bent pins are no bueno in general
That island is very very close to the border.
I had to cheese it by logging out every ~45 seconds to reset the instant death timer. >.>
Then tossed down a Bell.
I thought of setting a bell after I died. I think i have my next quest
You will still have the instant death (in one minute) timer each time you hop onto the island, even by bell, because you're still in the level < III > zone.
You could always sell your organs and buy a new PC
Interesting thought but I need those
Not all of them
Sell one kidney for a new PC, and you're a legend. But sell fourteen then the cops start giving you the stink eye.
what if you put down a tent to set your spawn point over there? never tried it myself
Still instant death (in one minute). So you get up, have a minute, then fall over.
Supposedly if you stay in the menu the entire time, it bugs out and then you can just walk around doing whatever, but I didn't attempt that.
Rocks, trees, and orchids (at night). But I climbed all the way over that dirt mountain and to the other side of the island.... 45 seconds at a time.
Will the chopping animation be able to hold down instead of clicking over & over?
How many jars do you need for all that dirt?
Dunno. Gonna need a bigger shovel though. Made of Damascus steel, at least three tiers up...
True, true. Good luck settling on that new mysterious land
If you only had 1 minute to live, what would you do? 😅
I can imagine someone who doesn't want to log out every close-to-minute being more stubborn than I am, and just having a literal line of tents spaced 50 seconds of dash apart of eachother.
45 seconds at a time?
You don't do the death-respawn thing?
I didn't, because I didn't know that existed.
I did it the same way I did the rest of the game. Stupid brute force.
Simply putting a tent, set respawn to it, and dying + respawning there will remove the instant death.
...at least until you leave the area / quit
Wiping the drive and reinstalling windows
You mentioned it was working for two tears, with the way windows works it’s generally a good idea to reset to clean state
I mean I’ve already wiped the machine entirely twice now
Welcome to windoze...
release when o.o
upcoming sequel when? Breezefell?
Yes
Breezebouquet
Soon
Saw a feedback post from @tame basin about shields in the game. Anyone have opinions on that? I’d like to see them personally, but I wonder if there’s a consensus about it
Oct 37th, I guess.
Seems legit.
no thanks.... neither pirates nor the navy used shields.... 😕
It IS kinda hard to swim with a block of wood or slab of metal wrapped around your arm. And wearing heavy plate armor would be a great way to sink like a rock.
I remember some heavy plate armor from last alpha but definitely no shields
But you also moved slower with it
The giant crabs still opened you up like a can opener 😛
euuggg.... worst part about being a Christian is that eventually you get a vestral realization on how higher dimensional time works. Example. God: "I will free the Israelites from Egypt!" Joseph: "Cool... when" God: "Soon"
(250 years later)
Sorry for the noob question but where do I make gunpowder for my pistol as I can craft the copper bullets but haven’t seen powder aside from finding random amounts?
apperently in demo its drops only
Oh ok use rounds wisely
Hahahaha
Loving the game demo
I know they say it’s 3-4 hours but I’m making it last as the game isn’t coming out for a while right
Can't make it in demo, it is in Early Access. You can farm it from Pirate camps and pirates, as well as start up other servers and farm the first area you hit with the drowned down in a cellar - fast gunpowder as a workaround.
If you having fun and passing the time its worth it, I only have about 130 hours in demo, some have a couple hundred hours in demo from building competition we had and also just joy of making other stuff.
Yeah I have 1,500 in atlas currently on my pc
Yeah you character, ships and inventory on you go to whatever server you load in on, great way to strip mine another server for wood, stone, ores and load up ship hull and bring back to main.
I played Atlas, this is much better game for sure.
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
So you only playing about 5% content in Demo 😉
"200k wishlists are ready, with a million more on the way"
I hope they do well and learn from what happened to atlas and skull and b….. they can truly make an amazing pirate game
we shall make thy enemies dawn heavy plate armor before walking the plank!!!
Well S&B at their peak only had 1,300 concurrent players, we hit 23,000 concurrent players in demo alone lol
i saw pocketpair put thier name on this game and im curious where the announcement is about it?
Nothing official has been announced or posted on it. May be something up coming with Japan.
gotta be official somewhere...im looking at pockepairs youtube channel and they got windrose trailer posted there
Windrose has not made any official postings or announcements on it.
So usually in these kinds of games when you slow down your ship it turns faster, is that not a thing in this game? Or am I just not noticing the difference?
Yeah - but some of it has to do with the winds and the type of ship. In Last Alpha we had more ships and some were more maneuverable, others not so much.
Hello 🙂
Yes, Pocketpair shall be handling the regional publishing in Japan!
If you aren't Japanese, then you will basically never hear or see from us, but we shall be lurking in the shadows anyway helping out where needs be. Since this is a regional publishing partnership, there is no real reason for Windrose Crew (or us) to make global announcements about this!
If you are interested though, we'll mainly be communicating via the newly created Twitter account. Thanks!

There it is Yeah Thought it was something to do with Japan.
Thanks, was just seeing some things on it pop up 🙂
I found a different ship in the demo 😮
yup you will find those 🙂
It's a damn brig with twice the cannons, tore me to absolute shreds 😆
Aye, I've plundered a few of them brigs
Steam is just a small fraction of playerbase tho.
True
Just saw steam (idk if im late or missed anything) but Windrose's status/page has been updated. Idk if I missed it from before, but its now giving us details of the EA.
can't wait for the EA Announcement, hope its not too long til its release...
guess we'll see next wekk.
#│announcements message you mean this page?
no, like on the steam website, when you go to windrose, the EA Tab is now there
giving us details on gameplay, why ea, etc
Yeah - Why we been saying Soon 🙂
peakkkkk
Did we mention Soon?
Definitely this year soon 🙂
Found three more islands - nothing much on them.
Nice, also I don't think you have enough fast travel points
Too lazy to walk lol
teleports behind ye
Nothin' personal matey
Too lazy or too drunk? 🤔
Or both lol
Quite
Far easier to let the fast travel park your ship for you instead of crrrruuuunnnnchhh. "There! I stopped."
Clearly you haven't used my fast travel points
My second world... I made my dock right on top of world spawn. >.>
So my friends would log in and be stuck half inside of a dock piece unable to move. Trapped up to their shoulders.
who's idea was it to tease us with a shanty singing button we can't use on a dingy? kek
No crew on Dinghy lol
Just belt out a song by yourself when you're playing with your dinghy.
But yeah, having the button be there is an odd design choice for when it will never be usable on the tiny boat.
it should just make the player start whistling to themselves
I wonder if this game will have assigned captains, where they can control the previous ships or other ships you crafted/used to be used in your fleet...
therefor an armada
Guys I 100% finished Windrose
Maybe the real treasure was the cannons we found along the way.
when do copper regenerate in the cave?
Roughly every 2 hours
I'm upset you used this screenshot and not the one from the ride
Ssshhh spoilers
Besides. The ride is cool but a bit underwhelming
Jack Sparrow ||dies at the end of 2!||
And it skipped one of the movies
No it didn't, only 4 movies really exist
Oh because the ride isn't based on the movies
It's a 1:1 of the real ride and it's story
I mean. 1st scene was Isla de muerta, 2nd is the Maelstrom and 3rd is the fountain. Is there not a sequence for Dead man’s chest in the ride?
I’ve not actually been on the real ride so idk
No there isn't, dead man's chest is just part of the song that plays
There's that single part of the ride with a dude dead while opening the treasure chest and iirc they also say the "15 men on a dead man's chest"line at that part but nothing about Davy jones heart
sometime this year, we will likely learn more here in about a week
Good morning lads 🙂
Morning lad, question: Are the Roman Numerals III there because that part of the map is off limits/ out of bounds?
In the demo yes
mannnn
i have over 20 hours on this game already and was just on a dopamin high sailin the high seas then saw a message then checked the map and was hoping it was a difficulty thing
Probably how it will work in EA
im still lovin this game though, absolutely by far my favorite pirate game. beautifully done. the combat on the seas too is so cool
i hope its soon, bc ima need more of this game
Yeah I spent a few hours on it myself
hell ye, its just too good not to get so caught up in it
genuinely not sure what you guys are doing with that playtime other than building projects
Building, sailing, the usual
I find it funny how non restrictive sea combat is too. When me and my friend were testing it for first time, we didn't prepare for combat at all and honestly my friend who was controlling the ship sucked throws under the buss. So... I did the only thing that was logical and jumped to enemy ship to create chaos when he rammed into it lol
I like the sailing but not sure i can get that much playtime in the demo from it lol
LMAO, sound decision.
You never know what you might find, I found a new ship today
i kinda just randomly tapped into sea of thieves sloop mode and wanted all the smoke
im still searching the seas for all the secrets floating about
I just play survival games differently is all, I get more enjoyment out of the progression and exploration than I do the base building and combat
I only build what I need for progression
I'm hoping that there would be enemy fleets you can fight with a full team of friends. Would require a lot of creativity and skill to fight them solo, but I think many solo players would welcome that challenge too
i feel like that will be a thing but it'll still be your/ your teams ship against a few ships
bc i just took on two at once and won
I actually took on 2 transport ships today (But I'm on easy)
ngl almost got absolutely bent
I'm hoping for big battle like 6 v 4
YES THAT ONE
imagine the chaos
Absolute chaos
I did that exact fight, but im on storms edge, first mode i chose to play on and just stuck with it
i want the full experience of the plunderin
I suppose they could scale the number of enemies with the number of players
i feel like it would just up the kill goal to overtake and sink a ship
can't wait to see what cool locations we get to loot in EA
Yup!
it would be cool to see the kill goal be the goal to get the captain on the floor to fight
like a last stand for his crew type of thing
would be nice to see places almost like the temple forts in sea of thieves of maybe those puzzle rooms you do for the gold hoarder missions
cap vs cap
There's so much that can be done with a game like this, but no way to do it all. Can't wait to see how the game turns out for early access release and what might get added during early access
agreed
My wallet is ready
as is mine
i wonder what the coastal jungle threat is gonna be, i feel like it'll be a fleet from blackbeard and him comin by to try and kill you himself
Same, especially with different biomes it gives more freedom to design areas that are not just ‘desert island’ feel.
I'm pretty sure it's a giant dodo
LMAO
can we even see the threat for the starting biome?
dodo's are so outa pocket for having that liu kang bycicle kick i swear
i remember finding a dodo, smacking it then getting machine gunned by it
Not in the demo but there is footage online from the alpha test.
Would be cool if there was a land and a sea threat
I think that's why they got extinct, they where too dangerous to keep alive
XD
this was me when i first saw the rum
couldnt help it at all
dodos went extinct because too many people playtested this game
Why is the rum gone? Combat repair kits.
they think they're all tough before I climb aboard my ketch and fire on the tree lines
think they'll ever have a pirates of the caribbean thing goin on?
Can you cut down trees with the cannons?
LMAO
yes ironically enough, though you obviously have to get back on land to grab anything
Alright. brb.
more efficient, if you can manage to actually hit the trees
question: the second cannonball type that u can load in the cannons, are those to mess up their masts?
or like slow them down?
yeah, that'll slow em down
Shoot the mast to slow them down
but sadly you need to "damage" the enemy ship to be able to board, so i never really cared for the 2nd ammo-type.
I didnt even notice there was a second ammo type until I already beat the demo
i figured, thats why i stuck with the normal ammo and laid fire down
You could slow them down enough a D get behind them and stay behind them so that you can shoot them but they can't shoot back
fair, its not like they can sea of thieves drop anchor and drift out of it to catch you lackin
would be cool if we can do some maneuvers like that
probably just me but sailing felt rather "floaty" in the demo, like I was sliding on ice or something
idk i feel like it could be cool and fun but at the same time a little too silly
just a pirate ship driftin on the seven seas like an absolute boss
me and my friend quit before I had a chance to try naval combat, can you aim for invidual parts of the ship like the mast to cripple it?
well i mean yeah, i didnt really see and anchor but idk I feel like maybe thats how a boat be sailin uk?
not that ive seen, it seems to just all be under hit = damage
u can use the second ammo type to slow them down though it seems
I mean yeah, momentum exists, just felt maybe a bit too much if that makes sense
Yeah if you use the bar shot ammo you can aim higher and hit the sails
idk if it rly does damage though
had a lot of trouble even when I slowed myself down keeping up with the enemy ketch consistently
gotta just full send
Hitting trees with the cannons is tricky business... I guess I'll stick to the axe
LMAO
honestly curious how much damage it would do if that does happen to hit an actual enemy
the one helpless drowned just happy to lurk around from the coast to the tree line and back and forth
not sure if anyone hit an enemy with one before tho, at least probably not intentionally
ngl now im curious af if thats even possible
I mean if you can hit a tree you can hit a drowned or something I'm sure, its aiming it to do so thats the hard part
fair
maybe one of the people who did the alpha did it at some point
It kills. If you manage to hit a drowned with a cannonball, it‘s insta death for him.
The hard part is to actually hit him. Most of the time he stands there, cannonballs passing him to the left and to the right, and he shows you the finger and laughs aloud.
I guess we need to wait for something tankier to see how much damage it does then
granted all things considered, most things tend to not live through a direct hit from a giant iron ball moving at that speed
88 members left for 50k!
The tankiest enemy I think it is either the Savage Boar or the Blackbeard Sergeant
the drowned:
I just hit a sailor on the beach with my cannons for 3000 something, he's pretty dead
Oh wow ok
the biome threat when I kite him to the coastline then hop into my ketch
It might be a viable strategy lol
id wager the devs likely thought of that and have the threats situated very inland or in special dungeon type structures lol
Probably
as funny as it would be to do that
I just kill everything with the executioner and call it a day
Strong attack crit and bye bye
the 1000 cuts is pretty fun, but I like faster weapons
True, on hard difficulty I prefer sabers, on normal difficulty executioners
Nearly there!
Ahoy
Hola!
With a tree or with cannons?
well i do know tree physics hurt, a bit more lenient than valheim tho lol
Yeah valheim trees are nuts
There was a video of someone dying from a tree in the alpha
in all fairness a giant tree falling down tends to not be good for your health
MORE RUM FOR THE SHIPS SAKEN BOIS
ew rum, i demand schnitzel !
unless it's needed for your frigate
frigate is definitely good for your health
true
does the game stop after outfitting the ship?
I'd save my energy for early access though. Who knows how soon the EA might be coming... might know in a week when iii is here
well less than a week... just 6 days now
did this game release yet?
No, just demo. Not even Early Access on a calendar, yet.
did they put more thing in the demo?
i spent a night finish demo at day 1
but they ping a lot of time in this discord
@past wyvern its mostly bugs fixes
will not be anymore content in the demo before ea is out later this year
Seriously guys, this drinking game is making me want to talk to a self help group sponsor.
haha 🤣
I will not be able to afford food this month. All my money is going on rum
hello
Brb, now I have to get a fresh cup of coffee to chase down the rum....yuck!
add the rum to the coffee
the game is really great, maybe we know something about when the full version will be released?
oof... Some punch flavored rum, there. Gonna have some KICK
If any news happens refering to Windrose I am sure it will show up in https://discord.com/channels/1260209458924224542/1349723749858934834
@tight violet Thank You 😀
🤣
i really exited for teh event i hope they wil be like its availble now thank you for playing i hope thats gonna be said at the event
lol it took me a moment to realize the date lol
since it's a event where they show back to back gameplay trailers or some showcases i'm guessing it will be a new trailer with the stuff coming in EA , not gonna get my hopes up for a date but excited nonetheless ofc
i almost got an heart atack there reading EA
i was like nooooooooo
early access* sorry not the evil overlord of EA
yhea lol
I think if I woke up tomorrow and Windrose was suddenly under a different team thats parts of one of 'the big companies TM' I would have to leave the internet for a while to properly vent my rage and disappointment.
i cant lmfao but same i would use the sent a elapant or donky stinkies via mail to ea
there is a site for that
But you could maybe manage to run Windrose on your potato then 😉
i would depend of the company but like .. even if it's a "good" big company taking the windrose ip wouldn't be the same , maybe keensoftware i would be okay with because it's the closest to but even then yea rather trust the windrose crew vision
if you pay 80 for base game or free to paly with battlepasses and everything would be microransactions worse than any gacha game ever
I think WR being an indie game is a MASSIVE contributing factor to why its so good even in our early stages.
The dev team arent bogged down by massive publishers time limits and budgets. And no one outside of the team have ANY input on how the game is made or its direction.
Example is Star wars. Theres no Kathleen Kennedy overlord to stick their nose in and force unnecessary changes that would result in a crappy product that people hate.
Theres also no big brother company whos sole reason is to make as much money as possible. So theres no battlepass, no pay to win, no locking 90% of content behind a paywall and no subscription.
The Windrose Crew are making this game out of passion for the genre and desire to just make an actually good and fun game thats clearly had a lot of love and attention put into it.
"i´think WR being an indie game is a MASSIVE contributing factor to why its so good even in our early stages." 💯
Ive said before and I'll continue to say, Indie is the only sane path forward for the gaming industry until more sensible people prevail to save it from the greed and rot thats taken hold
have to be honest and im biased here i wouldn't mind exclusive cosmetics ( kinda how poe does it ) for windrose but i know those can't afford it would not like it so not pushing this a lot xd im already happy if they have diff packages like base game then a bit more for founders edition during ea or smth
i heard triple A and AA games are both mentioned in the files
Roughly before GTA VI
even if it releases same day as gta vi i'll be playing windrose 🤷♂️ , not gonna buy a console and gta vi on console just because i won't wait 1 year or whatever they do for gta releases , i did that for gta v , never again.
I'd be ok with a few cosmetics that are paid. Not too many and nothing too over the top (Much like the new assassins creeds paid store garbage). Its the FOMO stuff that I detest to my very core.
There is nothing worse than finding a cool new game and finding a cosmetic, or weapon skin, mount, colour scheme etc etc that you REALLY like and would perfectly fit your style or playstyle only to find out it was only available for a single weekend 3 years ago as part of 'the one event that will be done once and only once and will never ever return because we hate our players'.
I HATE that in games. I hate it so so much
Pre-order cosmetics are the worst offenders
I despise them
I'd be fine with something like deep rock galactic did. like a supporter pack. But we gotta get some kinda transmog system for that first. would love to mix and match or hide the hat
oh yeah not thatt! , i think more like poe packages BUT a new form ( where they wont' exist after a few months) but more permanent or grounded 2 way of doing it , i think that's okay , and that's being reasonable for those that want to put a lil bit more € into it , i hate pre order cosmetics but i also hate ppl who gatekeep not having ways to fund the devs more in EA
A great example is Helldivers 2. Their pre-order armours are dope. The Yoghurt armor is my type of colour scheme but was a pre-ordere exclusive. I wouldve happily preordered the game but Arrowhead did basically 0 marketing so I had no idea it was coming out and missed out on this
you can do the same thing with a free reward skinn on pressing abutton, with a special option i would also like to donate
i wonder if they'll do any sort of twitch drops or sub to rewards ? yknow what im talking about?
i would personaly hide them behind achievements, so achievements let you "collect" the skinns, and they all have a donation reminder xD
I hope not. I do not like twitch as a company anymore
a lot of poeple did nd its sad
Achievements is a nice idea, that way cosmetics are still attainable in game and not locked behind time limits
every enshrouded update they have free twitch drops where you get a cool new armor set , that'd be nice no? i don't care about twitch but i care about that sort of engagement
it's the first time ive heard of a preorder for helldivers2
And as Tiddles mentioned a supporter pack would be a great way of introducing cool cosmetics AND a way to fund teh devs
EXACTLY
something like that buy me a coffee website link... only for your skinns... maybe get a VR dating app so u can actualy have a date with a virtual version of the skinn you are buying a coffe for xD
They did 0 marketing so I didnt know I could pre-order
Man i loved the game when it came out. it was so much fun
and they can slowly update it too , grounded 2 is doing that , the founder edition gets update to it's rewards every update ( so far that i know at least )
not just armor sets but actual building decor
I still play on occasion (when my system works). Its less fun now because I solodive as my friends I played with have moved on. Its still enjoyable for the most part. Although Arrowhead have done plenty of FOMO with capes and such since the game started that I do NOT like
I kinda like that. So its a one time purchase but still gets new stuff every once in a while
YEP
I remember back then they said stratagems and such wont be in these "battlepass" kinda things..i was SHOCKED to see that this has changed. I tried to get back into the game but it's gotten weirdly rough for me..the enjoyment is just gone. i can't tell what exactly it is tho
and it's not major , it's 2 items last time i check so it won't take much time from main dev base game etc
ability to have an option for those that wanna spend a bit more + not affecting those who only bought base game with dev time 👌 
i bought everwind thinking it would kept me busy until windrose , oh boy was i mistaken , i'm waiting on that soulmask game now , apparently they are offering a new dlc coming for free egyptian themed + floating ships so not to far from what i was doing in everwind , busy until windrose 😍 ( this should probably be off-topic ig )
Battle pass? You mean the warbonds?
first im hearing of an outright battlepass system in Helldivers
The best kind of battlepass is free of charge, a way to make players earn their cosmetics and stuff like back in the good old day
hello lovely pirates
yeah those haha. Been a while
Oh the warbonds are fine. Theyre not time limited thankfully
I think the warbonds are fine. The premium curency can be earned in game for free rather than strictly paid with irl dabloons
they're fine yeah. just extremely grindy sadly. I grind so much for one of them and then need so many points to unlock the parts AND I can't just choose which part to unlock since i have to spend a certain amount to get to, for example, page three :(
yeah, VERY very grindy which isnt fun but its not the worst thing to add to a game
i thought it was dablooms, coz of bloomberg
oh definitely not the worst haha
alright, now where are the Schnitzel ?
Just started playing the demo, loving it already
the only thing I can offer is a dino nuggie :(
Made from real dino?
technically..yes
I think that is an acceptable substitute

These are posted in the Pinned but many don't look at them so will post again here for new people 🙂 Some peaks Yar_Master posted awhile back - and a link to read more on them as well #💬│windrose-chat message
Also this one from Benji , Shows what goes in that missing slot on Ship. There will be a variety of various stats and options to customize ship play with them.
🤤
9th is The Triple-i Initiative.
Might be an announcement on when EA may launch or some other information that may not include a launch date. Will have to wait and find out 🙂
That one never gets old lol
Nope. Was it you that made it?
No Seaweaver 🙂
thanks. Could not remember who made it
Does those 6 days include daylight savings time?
Don't think 1 hour makes that much of a difference for how many days 😅
Whaaaa... It makes ALL the difference in the world! Actually I have no concept of time so I have no clue.
when you click the event it should tell in your own timezone's time when it's happening
At least for me it says 19:00
Sounds good
Hope someone will make a mod that adds Alestorm music to the game 😄
It bears repeating. Sounds good
or have more to do in the demo
I'd rather wait for early access and have more energy to play it
I think we all need one of those intervention addiction meeting things
Demo will not have anything added to it, but it is about 5% of content of what is in Early Access, and 2.5% explorable area. So you guys have a lot to look forward to.
Just down a case of Red Bull™ (This message was not sponsored by Red Bull™)
Man, if just the demo has yall fiending like this then based on the Alpha you are all going to go feral
I've regrettably watched some alpha footage... I've waited YEARS for a game like this to come along...
Yeah that never gets old even though language isn't right it's perfect for sure lol
There's been cats and dogs living together in my house for over 20 years...
How are you doing on the human sacrifice front?
I've no qualms, but the other people don't seem to be very enthusiastic...
That's the problem with people
Has there been anything said or does anyone know if there will be more talent tree things added? Wondering if they will and stuff for fishing and farming
Fishing and Farming were in last alpha and definitely will be in Early Access.
As far as Talents - a lot of that incorporates into the many gear sets and weapon types , foods you can combine for builds. Will have to wait and see what they have on Roadmap after Early Access launch as one will be posted not long after.
Right no i mean like you can pick a talent that would increase gather amount or crop growth speed
Also, once Early Access hits and people see what they have done with the game - further feedback may help in areas people want to see more on 😉
Well there Jewelry with stats too 🙂
Nothing like that as far as we know. But if thats something you think people would like then drop a #1298615271686279208 post with your ideas
Ill do that...I think if not talent points then a outfit that buffs certain things would be fun
Also Some of your Crew may have other ideas on some of your crafting - will have to wait and see what they do for you at your base.
Was there more then the Doc in alpha?
It was different in Alpha, We had Crew in the camp, but they didn't do much and did not have stats. A lot of changes were made to crew and the benefits you get, etc.
Will have to wait and see what all they have planned.
Just wait 🤪
Bro wdym we’re creating fleets already in the demo 😭 what other game can be so perfect
Well you'll have a wide range of ship options in Early Access that isn't in Demo to make more unique fleets 🙂
I've read A LOT about the alpha. It was packed compared to the demo. How many bosses was it again? was it 1 or 3? I don't really remember. But A boss was in there FOR SURE
As a Navy Veteran and someone that LOVES sea games but couldn't find any good ones... I wholeheartedly LOVE the demo and cannot wait to have the full game in my hands. Thanks for bringing back the love of the sea for me!
i was in a hurry and didn't proof read ;D
Real pirates don't proof read
Im kinda glad i missed alpha cus seeing it had more then the demo idk if i could handle the wait if I played it lol
Well to be honest though it had more - the Alpha still had only a fraction of what Early Access will have. Also, many things changed allot.
Even had some things removed many, many other things added.
and don't forget the amount of qol. i can't judge for myself but seaweaver has been telling me that A LOT has improved even if the demo is smaller
Damn tiddles got a promotion
Congrats!
No? Tiddles has always been blue
Yes for sure - the fps, Graphics , and many other things got a lot of improvement.
Alpha was a good start content wise, but EA will have WAY more stuff and be FAR more polished
Is this real was my discord bugging the whole time 😭
Tiddles has been blue for like, ever
It's true
Maybe i was selectively color blind
I did change my profile pic yesterday maybe that throws you off or something
It's more of a teal-ish color
wdym it's clearly brown!
Books appointment to see an eye doctor
See if they will do a 2 for one deal and ill tag along
i do have one coming up next week 
Im ngl i know discord on phone simply refuses to update some ppl’s profiles, it shows profile pic for gf that she had like two years ago before we added each other
Idk how that works but maybe the same with roles cuz i swear the name was white yesterday 😭
pay two buy one 
Addiction therapy and eye exams for everyone! My treat
@uncut radish Discord on phone??? Well THERE's your problem.
We’re not even addicted i just think about windrose when i wake up work and go to bed
You can never be sure your security person at work doesn’t monitor ur every move.. they can’t know im one of them pirates
Because it was white yesterday.
No it wasnt youre just crazy!
White today, gone tomorrow.
No one can be trusted these days
hmmm isnt that like saying ATM machine? 😏
smh my head
rip in peace
will this game work with gtx 1050 2gb?
Cpu? Ram?
You know there's a demo?
check minimum recommended specs
Maybe. The 2GB VRAM is gonna hurt.
the question is more like
is anyone able to play in similar spec xD
is there a low spec patch or graphics option /config
The system requirements for the DEMO are listed toward the bottom of the store page.
My i5-7400 can run the game fine but I do have a more beefy card RTX 3050. 16gb ram
ya
it's my fren's spec
he was getting stutters /laggy
i am searching for a config file which will help in running on 2gb cards
Turn all your graphics settings to minimum, basically.
Still amazes me to see 10-series cards in use, especially low end ones.
almost everyone has 10 series bro
Using a 3060, game runs super smooth on everything maxed out. Part of it is that it is UE5, more demanding than Unity graphics wise to start with.
So defintiely need a decent gpu
is this using nanite or something
I had a 1060 SSC up to last Christmas, upgraded whole system.
I never had one. R9-290X > gtx1660 > rx6700xt over the last decade.
u are the 10% xD
definitely I would not recommend leaving fps uncapped, the game can very easily find the limit of either your GPU or CPU. Maybe it's just me but I'd rather not stress them to max like that 😂
In the circles I usually run in, I have the low end system...
My Nitro V15 runs it flawlessly even with 3 people attached to it. My old Dell 360x with a tiny 554 ssd 16gb ram a nvidia 910m also runs it flawlessly on lower settings but not because it cant it is because the ssd is so tiny.
910m? working for windrose?
Definitely mid range now. The 290x was high end, but it was a bit outdated when I got it in 2015. I'm just around enthusiasts and play Star Citizen. SC is beyond demanding.
the min requirements listed were a 1080 the 910m has memory so yeah if it can run it single player...
its 2gb card
again the bottleneck is was the tiny ssd which is why I did 98% of my 80+ hours played on the Nitro
Maybe yours is a 2gb card I have a 360x pro with better options
Check for dust in the fans too
👆
okk
System requirements strongly suggest an SSD
a friend with 1080 was able to host duo, so it should be fine solo
Hard to imagine playing modern games on a spinning disk...
just don't expect the game to look too amazing, 1080 is below the listed minimum so it's amazing it works decently
The 1070ti and 1080 series cards have held up surprisingly well over the years.
when i first played far cry 1 it had a huge loading time :(
then i changed to ssd it becamee soo fassst
I ran it fine on 1060 SSC, the SSC's are factory overclocked. So did ok with it but couldn't handle maxing everything out.
Yep, and modern games without much in the way of loading screens really need that speed.
So finally upgraded as was needed for years lol
Sometimes you just gotta bite the bullet and sell some organs for computer parts
sold mah sleep and time for a 9070 and 5700x3d xD
tell me about it. Thankfully RAM prices are dropping it seems
hopefully other computer part prices will start dropping too
Need me a new PSU at the minimum
I would love to get a 9070... and 48GB of RAM. Not even remotely in the budget though.
I just need a new motherboard and some ram and I should be good for a while
The 32GB kit in my system that cost me less than $110 as part of a microcenter bundle in May of '24 is now selling for over $400... It's madness.
it will drop guys
i heard openai cancelled the order for rams
I got an additional 32gb for just over 100 a few months ago when one of my original sticks seemed to die but also didnt. It was weird
I herd the reason why SSD is borderline required for many games now is because HDD requires files to be saved to multiple locations so you can load stuff faster... meaning you'd end up with 2-3x bigger file size just from that unless you make the game for SSD only that doesn't require multiple copies of files.
We say that but we also forget the back end in multiplayer games. Most MMO even modern ones use ncode optimized for the range of players it supports in whatever localization models they pick. Some of the largest mmo games push for models that see sub 1500 byte packets for client updates. Lets say someone decided to make a really cool pirate based coop game and had ncode frames of say 1200 bytes, that is just 96k most everyones lowend up/down bandwidth is 300k+ so it could easily handle 80 coop players per self hosted server 😜
wouldn't be fun if 100GB game suddenly became 200 or 300GB
does anyone know when its coming out
That also requires a lack of fragmentation on the spinning drive to work properly...
in 6 days we might get the answer, pure cope but might even get a shadow drop
oo alr thx
Juuust 6 more days of "does anyone know..."
bold of you to assume it stops 
Oooooooo snap!
I can dream
You can install flashing lights of "game releases in X days" and people would still ask
i think many have the entire server muted instead of muting the channels and leaving the news on for announcements
doing shots after each time someone ask about release dates takes its toll...
Shots? Like Russian roulette?
No, rum shots...
i remember the "Jack Sparrow drinking game" we had going on a while ago..i wonder how many really did it haha
Ohhhh
I simply drink water because with the world economy most people can no longer afford rum.
bold of you to assume we have rum left
It's all combat repair kits
exactly...gotta save up the rum for the release date...
Hi everyone, sry too many message to read.. Is there new content on demo ?
Nope.
Ix-nay on the content-ay
Any changes to the current status of the demo may be found in https://discord.com/channels/1260209458924224542/1349723749858934834
Demo will not get new content added no. But you can see the post in Steam where a few things from Feedback that they have put into Early Access can be seen there 🙂 #│announcements message Just click the Steam link and read the dev posting.
when is it going to early access
Soon, When they announce it. Possible we may hear something on a Release date on 9th at the Triple-i Initiative.
nice
If nothing else and no release date, at least some really cool new information 🙂
nah the announce is they have hired 1 more dev 😄
can i haz more windrose pls. Me is needing more windrose pls
or a pre announcement for the actual announcement for the EA release date
You can definitely keep playing the demo content until Early Access 🙂
wish granted but you gotta wait till early access
Somehow, every time I open this chat there almost always one of the 2 GIFs posted 😂
here you have the second one 😄
Thank you, the full package
Do ferns regrow?
honestly don't think so. Bushes, stone and trees don't respawn/ regrow. The only thing I know for certain are the mines and enemies that respawn every 2-ish hours.
you can make a new world and get resources from there if needed. your character + their ship inventory are not tied to the world
thank you
why did my demo on steam have a 1.2 GB update? can't find any information what it actually was
SLM
https://steamcommunity.com/app/3041230/discussions/0/757303931125774909/ It was probably this
Scheduled maintenance will take place from: Europe: 09:00–10:00 CET / 08:00–09:00 GMT United States: 03:00–04:00 ET / 00:00–01:00 PT Hong Kong: 16:00–17:00 HKT During this period, self-hosted servers will be temporarily unavailable (co-op will be unavailable; single-player worlds won't be affected) . An additional patch will be deploye...
improvements in terms of stability. We won't get any more content as far as i know, every little bit of manpower goes into early access now
I will repeat my patch notes that were for earlier update:
- Game is now rosier
Backend only as Tiddles mentioned, no new content will get added to it.
saddest moment 2021
I built my last playthrough house using potatoes and driftwood. The roof was a bit hard to waterproof but I made a paste using crabmeat that seemed to work 😆 .
Finally found that picture from last Alpha I was looking for on Sulfur - not only in tall rock forms but also like this picture here too.
That's ok because we won't tell you anything anyways other than..... Wait for it......... Soon!
what to play what to play
How much of the map are we supposed to be able to explore in the demo? It seems like after I got my ketch my access got heavily restricted to the point where an island I visited when I first ventured on my boat is inaccesible.
only about 2.5% of explorable map - you basically only have 3 islands of some sort to experience the 5% of content in demo.
someone made it to 4th island today 🙂
does anyone know if they will carry over progress from demo?
Nope
Those are not the other islands just background scenery some have glitched to a number of them but nothing there.
wait so do u not know or they wont
Sorry, no they wont 😄
ah dang
full wipe for EA
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
ah ok thanks
Okay cool. Is my access supposed to be shifted? Is there a rolling danger fog system (that'd be kinda neat). I'm just confused I guess why I can't access the third island I visited without suddenly exploding lol
are you sure you were travelling to the right island?
what do you mean you cant visit 3rd island
I apologize if this isn't the right place to ask these questions 
Oh did the 3rd island somehow generate itself in the restricted areas of the map?
