atlas could of been great but......
Good morning 🙂
SoT is the same sadly, both mis managed projects, its such a shame that so many great concepts die in the waters of poor management.
it's called planned obsolescence =)
I think the industry is in a state of waiting for a new technological jump that allows more, but I think it's gonna happen in the next 5 years: a shift in the way games are made and marketed, to move away from the disposable games and make them link into each other instead. They had the idea with "games as a service," but didn't do it right to monetize correctly or make meaningful updates during the so-called live service.
Everyone makes fun of Star Citizen, but them making a story mode as a separate box price that ties into their PU for another box price is how I see the future of gaming going, especially with the tech they are building for it. However, they could patent a bunch of stuff and lock the entire industry down from innovation or progression, like they did with the Nemesis system.
maybe 10 years
if the world survives that long, lmfao
Me having never heard of Atlas taking a look at it "oh damn this game looks fun....".
can't wait to see what this game announces tomorrow, though
the game was fun... just had too many bugs, exploits, and server issues
But also...
Last update over two years ago oooof
Then again some games have been around on early access for ten years now "hi star citizen"
yeah those games are what coined the term "cash grab"
Star Citizen last updated 2 days ago
Yeah
and gets regular updates and good comms
I play star citizen, don't worry I get it xD
Star Citizen scratches my EvE online but I didn't wanna Frithin' play spreadsheets in space itch. And also my burned by Starfield itch.
we need a "dream" game to be in development with boundary breaking potential, since games have sort of stagnated into being very samey
its picked up more recently, but it definitely had a huge stretch of basically nothing except "hey we made a new ship package for you to buy with your money"
About the only good thing Starfield did was force me to buy a new GPU and PSU so I could play it and... Well that's been nice for other games so. Thank you Starfield for that.
competition, strategy, and world exploration are the big 3 that make me interested in a game... not shallow repetition that seems to be so popular lately
story too, but the gameplay can't be artificially long to get through it
did you know almost 70% of players never finish a game... I think that tells you something about the pacing and artificially stretching content with repetition and the mundane
yet lots of those games still get great reviews
people seem to love playing half the game and leaving good reviews
I find it interesting, not trying to be cynical
Today is the day hopefully
In 8 hours and 53 minutes
Wait no, in 8 hours and 50 minutes sorry
<t:1775750400:R> (it doesn't count minutes before it is under 1 hour i think)
you can format it to, I just forget how
i know but then it doesn't count down. whic is what i want
<t:1775750400:R>
the R is the countdown.
F is for full time.
hmm... been a while since I messed with that unix timestamp stuff
tbf i just google discord timestamp and take the first hit.
The announcement on discord is telling you the local time so I calculated a bit, 8 hours and 42 minutes
yeah I guess that is a Discord limitation
I really hope we get a release date, I really do
I'd imagine, with the attention this game has gotten, they are probably scared to release anythint now, lmfao
They said they will release the EA in 2026, I hope we learn when
i in no form or capacity expects a EA release before august of this year.
i do however hope we get a date today.
You gotta capitalize on the hype, the Demo was awesome played it for 70 hours even tho the gameplay is worth 6 hours maximum
i gotta admit i just don't know what else there is to announce. so in that front it is also exciting.
if its not a date then what is it.
Yeah I mean what else are they going to announce? The demo release? The demo released 2 months ago so I doubt it will be that again
name change it is now called StormFlower haha.
Put him in the longboat till he’s sober?
Whip his a**
Put him in a cabin with the Captain's daughter?
What the actual 😂
This shanty actually has so MANY alternate lines. I learned that one while working at a Ren Faire in south Florida.
Damm
That was the first version I ever heard tbh
There's capitalizing on the hype and
Pushing and unfinished EA that blows up in their faces because it doesn't live up to the hype due to lack of polish
True, I just wonder what else they will announce besides a release date
That's why my gut instinct is telling me they're gonna announce the EA date. But not shadow drop surprise today
Nono for sure
I doubt there will be a shadow drop. Imo they'll show new trailer with new gameplay and at the end of the trailer EA starts on xx.yy.2026.
I loved the demo, in its small bubble of a vertical slice. I'm not sure what is gonna keep people playing to finish the game yet though. Will it be story? Will it be a sandbox of open exploration? A bit of both probably, but the world they have now wouldn't make me want to explore more if it's too samey when they expand out, or just a procedural thing with different quest points.
Probably
We will see
yep
I will buy the game no matter what, I really enjoyed the demo
me too really
All I want is a release date, I agonize so much over not just knowing when it is, even if it won't come out for like 4 more months (likely)
I want this game to release in EA really bad, but not so bad that they release it before its ready.
I just....want to know a date, I've never wanted to know a date more than I do about this game
Same
New zones I'd assume. Similar to what Valheim did?
This game has a lot of similarities with valheim but way more quality of life features
I mean, that's the only logical way they can do it. But we will see in what, 8 hours or smth?
8 hours and 21 minutes
<t:1775750400:R>
😂 😂
honestly, Valheim had lots of things I didn't like about it
this game doesn't so far, in it's demo version, lol... I'm sure it needs better combat and coop, etc. but ya know
valheim was cool, but to cumbersome, and stiff.
I got 1300 hours in valheim, really enjoying it but got super tired of waiting the 1.0 release of the game
it was like paddling through honey with a ham
sure it tastes good, but it is not an enjoyable experience.
Valheim was fine, but I stopped playing it after we got through all the biomes that were available at the time and we got all the high end gear.
the pacing in that game was a bit stretched to keep me playing through all the biomes... after I build my elaborate base and did a few biomes, I lost the will to play more
After you finish all the biomes and kill all the bosses all you have is building
not sure you talking about valheim or windrose now.
me? Valheim
Here I was having fun with just sailing and blowing stuff up, after I learned the combat (I'm not a fan of souls like combat but this one grew onto me) i enjoyed taking out pirates etc
the puzzle of figuring out the next biome and how to enter it and survive was really cool in Valheim, though
probably just the fact that it's not finished that made me lose my will to finish it
there is a somewhat similarity to that here aswell as every biome will have a new type of mechanic and all new mobs to combat.
the main thing I wanted more of in Valeim is more things to use ships for, so this game is gonna fix that problem I think
I played it with a group of friends so it was pretty fun, but we got tired of waiting for new releases... and we also kinda grew up, some of us have children already so the time isn't really there 😂
well i feel like when the allowed ores to be teleported the kinda ruined the point of the ships.
i mean from what i gathered of the demo i 100% see that being a thing in this game too, same issue you get in nearly every survival game that has a plotline attached
wasn't that a covid game?
Yup
valheim i turn on the ability to teleport with certain resources because i feel its just an arbitrary way to make the game take longer than it needs to when the game is already hard enough as is
i dont need to tack on making a completely new outpost in every place i go too
Are we allowed to post yt vids in this channel
if they are relevant i dont see why not
lots of people had tons of time during that, lmfao
no but you can do it here https://discord.com/channels/1260209458924224542/1352659456911212636
but it does boil down to what kind of yt vid.
so it is easier just to say no, and link to that channel
I hate a lot of things about Valheim and this game agrees with me so much better
Still, I had a blast in the demo and me and my friends are really looking forward to the release so that we can be conquistadors and/or pirates xD
yup with all the similarities there just is something here in windrose that difrenent enough that it feels, for me, better
i mean on the surface level they are practically the same game
Inventory based on slots: As long as I can increase slots I don't mind
Inventory based on weight: Annoying but I can work with it if I can increase carry weight
Inventory based on slots AND weight: Die
eh i dont really have a problem with the weight system, especially if you save up to get megingjord
and the slots feel enough to work around
uuh 150 extra point uuuh. such buff much wow real upgrade.
but i actually like how they managed to work around it with the trolley
so that's not my issue with it.
id much rather have that than become a walking bag of holding
Valheim now has a vanilla way to teleport ore. Just requires more resources and Ashlands tier items
And the portal itself is FEEEKKIN HUUUGE
yeah but that requires i get to the ashlands and have the capability to get those items lol
I can agree with certain game mechanics made to cause friction with the player for the sake of immersion or gameplay behavior, but god I hate inventory management and I'll take whatever QoL I can get
I can agree with this because (depending on the game) I'm just gonna forget whats in my inventory
I'm curious to see all the weapons this game has. Especially the muskets.
something i managed to see is that when you craft and build from storage that's what really hits it home for me.
that QoL is something that makes near every other game in the genre unplayable if they don't have.
i do pretty often have the issue in survival games of grabbing more than i need, so i like when games (within reason ofc) have a limit in place so i have to actively think about what i take with me
especially if the game is more immersive
the only other thing i would then like is an "Input" chest. to auto sort my stuff. but hey i can live with spamming F on all my chests.
Hytale having that and a map in vanilla, and portals, is exactly what made me stop playing Minecraft over it.
QoL stuff like that is so important and I feel most devs are just like "lol get gud"
well to be fair MC has always been lacking in Vanilla. and the mods really do alot of the lifting. so i don't ever really think of vanilla MC at all.
but you are on point
The only QoL from an accessibility standpoint Windrose needs is to not have to spam click to chop trees/mine.
Valheim literally had this same issue on its EA and switched to a hold to mine/chop for resource gathering.
i mean vanilla wise their updates have become the grand total of "hey builders look we added a biome with a bunch of pretty blocks for you, uhhh everyone else you can have this random mob that is only useful for minigames"
or some other random very niche use case mob/structure
i play minecraft as an explorer primarily and while it is cool to have these new sub-biomes or whatever, they are basically pointless to interact with
MC also makes it way too hard to have your own private servers 😑
it does? i never felt that.
actually the contrary for me
its been the easiest server i ever hosted.
I could never figure out how to set up a private server, something always goes wrong
oh sad to hear.
Software troubleshooting is where my eyes start to glaze over, I fear
well if you want to set up a windrose and have trouble ask me out and i'll se if i can help you.
i mean, self hosting is the annoying part
Windrose already lets you host private servers, I don't need one thats running all the time
But I appreciate it all the same
sure sure. no worries.
Big day today!!!!! XDDDDD
<t:1775750400:R>
It's 1am rn for me I should probably sleep
I'm assuming if I sleep through it all there will be a vod available somewhere
i assume the team will upload the trailer to their own channel aswell.
but yes the vod will also be avaible.
or set an alarm, 8ish hrs is fine sleep.
It will be 5pm for me Europoor time
barh you mean Uk time. its 6pm for centra europe.
are we there yet?
barnacles!
remember to get your snackies ready
oh yeah i actually ate my last popcorn yesterday thanks for reminding me.
other wise i had to wait till friday when i do my planned shopping.
We are all hyped for today then?

I might eat a jelly baby
It starts straight after work for me and I timed rest day at the gym today
in the higly unlikely event that it will be shadow dropped are you gonna skip the gym?
Yeah I have rest day today but if it's on another day, the game will have to wait until I get home
he will break the rowing machine off the rack and row to his computer
I will train on the punch bag to prepare for all the wood and copper farming
soooo what about the EA-rumors for today ? is that just some "wishfull thinking" or what ? 😄
just wishful thinking
too bad, but i thought as much
we assume the announcement will have a release date
ARRRRR Heya Mateys. I hope the EA is there Soon. The Demo is such a Banger:-) The Devs must take my money lol.
yup we have consistenly said her on the discord that it is most likely the release date that will be announced. and even that is not guarenteed
i'm not sure what else they could announce with such build up
which is why we say it is the most likely.
I would be very excited if I was the CEO right now knowing I'm about to make millions on my first game
a new namechange, its gonna be called Pirate Souls eletric bugaloo
you'd be amazed how many studios I've seen build up just for an announcment for another build up
I've already planned my pirate name and ship name
that reminds me of somethign and I don't know what
amd, that's it, that's who it reminds me of
they announced rdna 4, and then cancelled it, and then it became an announcement for an announcement to then announce it a month later
with a little bit of "saltyness" but in no way meant in harm
the devs here kinda has a track record of doing that.
Yeah. And the Fact i think is: They deserve it. Even the Demo looks amazing. I discovered no Crashes or sumthn in my approx. 18 Hours playtime.
an announcement for an announcement date to announce another announcement
you mean this ? #│announcements message
can we get an announcements channel whos only purpose is to link to another, hidden announcements channel where real announcements are made
Music Suggestion: Alestorm. Nothing fits better to an Pirate game than Heavy Pirate Metal:-)
arh yes alestorm never forget when i heard them for the first time as a warmup band in a small venue where we only where around 500 people.
I got pirate dubstep
Or the Band Windrose when ya search for a treasure. Cause i´m a pirate and i´m diggin a hole:-)
i think it was back in 2008 but it could be off by a year or two.
I love listening to the windrose shanties, it's comforting
Okay, do we think the EA will be announced and then come later in the next few months? or do you think they'll release it the week its announced or shortly after?
i dont expect an EA release before august of this year.
if this was made by a bigger company they'd announce the release and offer pre-orders
i dont think steam allows pre-order to EA releases.
Well, i hope they release it this week.
really? they said soon
august is soon.
is it? 😛
"Soon™" is an internet meme and colloquial phrase used to mock vague, indefinite release dates, implying that a product, feature, or patch (often in gaming) is coming "eventually" rather than shortly.
Lets hope we are able to carry our demo progress in the EA Version.
why do you have a macro for that
in case you didn't know which is sounds like
I have a suspicion we won't but my suspicions aren't developer announcements
well that is not gonna happen, the devs have said that specifically.
are the three islands in the demo the same three islands for everyone?
Negative on that, captain
I believe procedural islands were mentioned for the release but do the demo ones have procedural elements?
NOOOOO.... That would be bad. Save Locations are the same?
no
Well I don't think so, I can't say for sure
just to keep in ntoe, i've said this multiple times. but its an Early Access, meaning it ain't fully finished, its still early stages of the game.
I wanna visit tortuga and get drunk
so they will probably release it early in a state where bugs, missing content or unfinished projects are still being added with updates
Now i´m sad,,,, That means i have to rebuild my entire Base....:-(....
you can rebuilt it differently
I love those opportunities
anything that wasn't quite right or annoyed you can be swept away
was building damage mentioned? are you able to bombard coastal towns? I imagine not
Dunno.... But i was infront of a coast, where 3 enemies where running behind me, i escaped at my ship and shooted the coast. All 3 enemies where dead after i jumped back on the coast. If my cannons killed them or the water, i dunno.
I mean more putting holes in walls
That would be cool. But only if WE can make the holes, not hostile pirate ships who are sneaking along our bases.
I wouldn't mind getting my base blown up by hostile pirate ships, that could be fun
it'll add some character to any base with patchwork repairs
But when that happens, we must repair our bases. Lets hope if such feature comes, the repair costs are not tooooooo high.
<t:1775750400:R>
getting there
They do
I bet winderose will be the last game in event lel
Time to restock our Crisp and Beer suplies then:-)
Its 2am for me so ill just check discord when I wake up lol
ill probably be in the gym until it releases
Its releasing?!!!! 😏
THE TRAILER! UNTIL THE TRAILER RELEASES!
6 and half hours left 
My RX 7600XT is ready for that sweet Thingie:-)
fans go bbbbbbrrrrr
i Hope my game Progress does that too.
Could be worse. Could be like my system which doesnt load the game at all anymore
Nah. Here. All good:-)
We aint Crosswind anymore bud. Havnt been for a long while now
I know... I passed all the trials on the beta test, both pain and joy.🫡
so... trailer today?
Do ya think that a sea monster is coming to game? I hope not, Lost many ships to that damn Monster in SOT lol.....
Yes!
pretty much
No clue. If there is then its probably a long way off and we've seen no hints of anything planned
@surreal sierra For me, the name of the game doesn't matter anymore.I like your project.
Aight. Seems i´m safe then.
i worked myself out of hopin an EA shadow drop or even an EA release date announcement. so i go with new trailer and some extra stuff that will be added to the future EA, without any concrete release date on the table
hands out Schnitzel to everyone!
For now...
Oh nooooo. Davy Jones. I´m screwed:-(
I have two of them in my freezer. I make them with Spätzle and Jägersauce. (Dunno how to say these in english, sorry)
Spätzle and Jägersauce are staple German comfort foods that are commonly translated as:
Spätzle: German Egg Noodles (or Egg Dumplings)
Jägersauce: Hunter's Sauce (or Mushroom Gravy)
there's google 😄
Dang that sounds good
now we get the general idea
I have not had Hunters sauce since I made that stuffed london broil...thanks, now I am hungry.
Thank ya. Hard to be a German sometimes. Never had these Words in school. All i write here is my english from school. And that is over 10 Years ago:-)
thank God for games.. alho i see you play in German 😛
Ya make those sweet Egg Noodles with cheese in a pan. The cheese melts and that taste so delicious:-)
Yeah. i switched Language.
i don't get that option to play in my native language... i probably found 2 or 3 games that had that in 30 years of gamming
...but there is only one game
😝
but before this... is been a looong time
Languages is hard. Ive been trying to learn italian for like 2.5 years now, still suck at it
Pfft, I have been trying to learn english for 62 years. Maybe by the time I am 90 I will have figured out some of it.
To be fair, English is like 3-4 european languages in a trench coat pretending to be its own thing
i have a C2 in English, i got it while my 10 years in the UK and i suck at english still... one thing i could never train myself is to write "i" as "I"
Yes someone once said english is the worlds common language because it pulls the bad habits from every other classical language and rolls them up into one.
lucky there's not a single I in iii
And because England owned most of the world at one point
iIi
...through the cunning use of FLAGS!
i think tmore than 50% of the reason english is so widely used in 2026 is because of microsoft...
more like 90% 😂
or more broadly, technology
There are some compitotors that could have become the most widely spoken instead, like spanish
Maybe chinese if they got an earlier chance to spread language
yes, latin based languages have the most spread
Hey gang (sips coffee) should we move this to https://discord.com/channels/1260209458924224542/1298615547969142815
but English became the language of the tech
🤣
i'm on topic
topic being: "try to pass the time without going insane until the triple - I event"
No, machine code is the only true language. The End 😀
if by that you mean binary, yes
it's another way to write another language, though. Not a language by itself in the usual sense
All hail the great BIT, bow before the one that rules you!
Oh wait, or is that the dollar. I get the two confused.
well give me EA and i'll talk and trade in RUM
Today is the 9th! I am so happy. Got my pot of coffee and YouTube is already warmed up.
You and I both although I may drink some of my profits.
yep, cannot talk in it without drinking it 😛
6 hours to go
<t:1775750400:R>
How do you do that
<t:1775750400:R>
. . . dont copy the entire message.
oh boi .. that's a lot of messages i need to catch up with. guess everyone is excited for the announcement of a trailer today 
i would paste a website which does it for you but the url looks very scetchy so even i wouldn't click it.
but you can google discord timestamps and be able to find one
or an announcement about an announcement of a trailer
i keep an open mind 😄
This isn't GGG with announcements of announcements of league names for PoE 😄
you sure?
yes. wait for EA 😄
Just wondering if you can continue to sail and fight and if there is any more towns or anything
There are just the 3 islands in the Demo
you can still build, sail and fight but the 3 islands are about it in terms of what you can explore in the demo
Gotta love that they managed to get us to crave way more after that demo.
Yes, find all the hidden stuff but don't tell anyone on Discord when you do...just like the note says. 😆
Oh yeah and build awesome city on each island and open a "JOEs CRAB SHACK"
And if you have not tried it play it with other friends. Some of my best times in this demo were just having fun with friends.
man, seeing my bud cartwheel across the island because of a boar was hilarious
haha heck yes those boar yeets had me in hysterics lol
Odd question while being hopeful about later.
I have never bought an Early Access title before. Ever.
If I pay for Early Access, do I then have to pay again for the full release?
No
Thanks
Ive never seen a game that makes you poay for EA THEN for full release again.
Hard to imagine this will be any different
I'm never mad about ragdolls in games (as long as it's not every minute ofc) it's one of the most fun mechanics.
It's always funny!
...when it happens to someone else 😄
100% agree, I have spent many years in Ark and still get amused by the ragdolling endless fun 🤣
Ragdollin? Goat Sim has very funny ragdollmoments.
that entire game is just ragdolling
Lets be real, the true kings of ragdolling are TF2 and Gmod
helldivers 2 bot front..
5 hours 12 mins OMG!!!!!!
I'd pay twice for this honestly.
we looove ragdolling
and the sounds that go with it are just the cherry on top
Goat sim already killed me laughing. Imagin ya are a tall Goat and try to ride a small vehicle. That looks so stupid:-)
Gta4?
didn't gta4 have that one swing set that just glitched out and threw you around?
Yes
oh i remember that... damn core memory unlocked
Good times, good times!
<t:1775750400:R>
I'm not ready, can we delay it a few hours/days?
yes please
This is ground control to Major Tom...
Is this triple i on steam or its own site?
yt and twitch
Update: Jumping or falling confirmed
Just seen another game not to take away from this on steam called "Triarchy" looks cool also hope windrose goes far though.
yt ?
I hope they announce early access 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🥹
Four more hours.
All the games I've bought in EA I got the full release for free.
Sometimes, the game gets a bump in price between the EA version and the full release, but if you bought during EA, you still get the same content anyway.
The best thing to do for announcements is to keep your expectations as low as possible, so I expect them to be canceling development
lmao
last time it was only 40mins with a 20 minutes "stream warmup"
ugh I hope there isnt a 20 min warm up
name change, that is my bet.
back to crosswind? 😄
Pirate Souls electric bogallo.
or StormFlower.
lemons of the caribbean
Soon Pirates.
<t:1775750400:R>
no its only accurate to the hour so technically right now it is wrong.
its get more accurate under an hour
Well, here’s hoping the news today is good. Might be my birthday, but from a restless sleep, to missing breakfast, things are already starting off rocky.
Thanks Jen. It’s the big 30.
so young.
Given my life expectancy, it’s old.
I can't even remember 30 anymore 😄
Admittedly, I do wish I had kept a journal all these years.
you're the second that i talked to about being 30 and saying they have a life expectency of around 50. what is going on...
Just to help me remember things.
with my brain fog i would forget to write in the journal in the first place lol
I mean, three heart attacks, a stroke, been poisoned before, have drowned, been electrocuted twice, been set on fire, shot with an arrow, had a smoke grenade go off in my face, fallen three stories, been ran over twice, hit by three cars, hit by two buses, nearly was impaled on a post, and had some Big C scares already that required tumor removal, luckily all benign so far.
So yeah, low life expectancy.
Are you a GTA pedestrian by chance?
ok we need EA release for Douglas today!
No, but I share a last name with the guy who holds the record for being struck by lightning.
So God just kinda said “yeah I don’t like this SirDouglas guy”?
Luckily haven’t been struck by lightning yet, but my last day working for a grocer, the light post got struck when I hit the pavement.
nah he just get access to the dev build and sign an nda that is fine for me.
Nah, I’d say he likes me. Had my heart stop before and he sent me back.
yeah cause he cannot mess with you anymore if you dead, he needs you alive to have fun.
Damb I say that means you still have a divine purpose to fulfill then
so you actually gonna live a long life, just yeah... without being able to get cheap insurance.
I mean, the last thing I recall of that experience was thinking there are still so many who rely on me and that I couldn’t just leave them. They’re my tethers.
I’m just hoping I didn’t screw myself out of a good afterlife by choosing to return.
if wanting to live is a sin, then its a rigged game, so i don't think that will be reasoning for not getting a good afterlife.
early access today ?
most likely no
It’s likely just the early access date announcement.
It’s april 9th do we get a treat(early access)
you get an anouncement of unknown value.
that all we can guarentee.
the announcement; we been bought by tencent and will look forward to an exciting new cooperation with them. /s
Hope so, but it’s gonna be a gamble to see what we get
if its just a trailer im putting on me concrete boots and stepping overboard
if tencent buys them before they make their own money with this .. that is sad. they got here without tencent and we are ready to pay them for it, not tencent.
I doubt the devs will hype it up this much and NOT have a release date ready right?
release date for the trailer, you mean ? 😄
Truthfully and honestly I don’t know what the announcement will be. I too am hoping it is the EA release date
tbf, the hype as is right now is on the ppl here xD (no blame btw lol*)
well, tbf the hype on the pople here is because last time devs had to come here and explain why there was no EA release date in the last announcement 😛
true but that what happens when you don't wanna share the info in a more direct way then people put in their own expectation, which if met will be awesome, but if not can be fatal.
It’s on both sides. The devs have been hyping up this announcement more so that previous trailers so clearly it’s something important BUT also the people on said hype train put a lot of expectations on it
but that was after the announcement xD (or rather after the trailer dropped*)
so? it helped build the hype for the last month in here
the only thing that would make me jump over board is a pvp announcement 
I mean if Tencent had actually bought this game that's exactly the route they would go 😄
that means revamping the servers 😄 not much PvP in a 4 to 8 man (but ideal 4 as they said) max servers
Maybe well down the line they could implement some "off-by-default" system where folks can toggle in their own settings whether they themselves can be attacked, and let PvPers have their fun that way, but outside of that I'd rather no time/effort be put towards it.
my 2 pieces of silver on the matter
<t:1775750400:R>
aye thats a server/world toggle not a full on PvP thing. id expect that to more of a friendly-fire on/off toggle
I think this system would kill pvp as well, because imagine you expect epic and cool and cinematic ship battle but you get cockblocked by someone with pvp off
Im not into pvp but i would fr log off for the day
better the PvP-er be a lil disappointed than the unsuspecting chump getting jumped and having their playsession ruined by an unwanted interruption 🤷♂️
i stand on this hill: technically, havin servers with maximum of 4 to 8 people does not make a good PVP landscape. i doubt PVP is even in consideration at this time
I want pirat gem now
Maybe if pvp on/off would have some visual marker, that would be more fair. Sailing with your black colors indicate you’re open to pvp or something like that
i think as Smeg said, the server setups dont even make sense for a PvP environment at the moment anyway
PVP is the reason I never got into the survival genre with the likes of ARC or rust, the last "survival" game I played was Minecraft
Didnt new world have something like that?? where the the player can toggle back and forth
Never played new world so I wouldn’t know. But afaik its a thing in mmos
well this PVP talk is just... talk. the game and it's server structure have been steered off PVP long time ago, towards survival co-op(at best)
to shift towards PVP now, is basically a remake of how the servers work.
arh yes thats the announcment it will now go to full pvp and remove all pve aspect.
yeah right : come up with something more credible 😛 1st april is gone 😄
The announcement is the game is cancelled
i already come up with a new name
and they got bought by tencent.
im running out of bad stuff.
😄
hello kitty dlc announced. everything is pink and candyland inspired now
i want rainbow sails
i dont think rainbows would work as sails tho 
cat companion finally confirmed 💯
and unicorn figurehead on my ships
wish granted. catwoman now in your crew
i still want them if hello kitty dlc 😄
I hope we can customise decals on our flags/sails
I want a huge skull on a black sail
Tell me when the game will be released?
It's been cancelled
The developer wrote that the game will be released on February 30th.
say what?
People that do not use the word please do not get to know the release date. Now you will have to wait two months and twenty one days before you can ask again 😝
look at the date again.
i did 😄
random announcement <t:1775750400:R>
I for one am looking forward to the crossover with 7 Days to Die. The zombies just work out.
My body is ready
yeah also makes more sense than that drowned nonsense they had in the demo
Guys remember. Every time someone says the ‘r-e-l-e-a-s-e’ word it gets pushed back by a day
The release word?
but saying "launch" brings it forward 2!
you mean "release"?
i remember when that joke said a month
She typed it!
Yeah I think they mean release.
septmember 39th now,
So to everyone angry the game isn’t coming out blame @fallow wyvern
septmember 😄 the typo made it better 😄
yep, i read it as release too
I blame myself
I heard it was Novomber.
nomember.
I ruined it
nomember sounds tasty
yep, i like movember
Nah, just blame me.
isn't that, the cause of some cancer movement?
No the final release is suppose to be Novomber/Decacembre but the early accuse is in Septmember.
I don’t do Movember anymore. Last year my moustache grew too long that it constantly tickles my upper lip and drove me insane
dunno, it was something to do with "grow your moustache" a frew years back
An awareness month for cancer of the male lower bits.
But yeah
<t:1775750400:R>
Best I can do is 5
My screen says 3 hours
3 hours 33 mins
3h33 minutes
remember the 15mins warmup
Thank you for clearing it up!
if you look at the streams timer
and the 40 minutes of other announcements unrelated to windrose.. windrose gets the last 5 minutes in the stream
it get more accurate the closer we are.
it's fine, it only takes them 1 minute to say "ok you thirsty scallywags, here be your game"
While we are waiting we are all DMing each other with funny things to post on the RSI/SC release video so at least we are staying entertained while waiting.
Hammertime is a beautiful tool
i use r dot 3v dot fi
wait is RSI/SC releasing? wtf! has the world ended?!
It is an event release...calm down ROFL
the amount of lawsuits they gonna get when the finally release that.
i don't think they ever will
See that is the genius part, they will never release 😝
yeah thats the only way to avoid such lawsuits
they make more money like it is now
<t:1775750400:R> 3.5 hours looks like it rounds it down
man... if this is the wait hype for an announcement of something, imagine the wait hype for the actual release date announcement 😄
"Sic Parvis Magna"
🤣 I hope we’re not waiting for an announcement about an announcement. 🤣
that is what we all fear
EA has been cancelled for a closed beta with 100 slots.
and to earn som money 50 will go to the highest bidder.
that does not work either... 100 slots is unrealistic
😄
oh yeah 4 slots, 1 server.
that's more like it
You joke but people genuinely were selling the alpha access keys online
with the game expectations. i'm not surprised
One guy managed to get a copy of the files and threatened to blackmail us for, something, (idk what he never actually said what he wanted)
Oh yeah he’s long gone. Best part was once I banned his main he kept joining on alts but PINGED ME to let me know he was still in the server. So we just banned his alts. He was a complete moron
hahaha
Technically even if your ISP only allows you 300k/300k you should be able to handle 80 connections even allowing for 40% ping drift without any noticeable lag. However that does not take into account the ISP doing dynamic trunking because of band/lease agreements.
Again it all boils down to localization and the ncode.
9.5 hour train, still 3 hours left. Looks like announce will be right as i get off the train. Will try check back tonight if have time
flying is faster
Train is more agreeable to me.
The flights arrive same time as the train, if there was a morning flight would have got it
then i understand 😛
Can I get ping when tripel initiative starts 
Some are bettee than others. This one not great but luckily nobody else in my compartment
Can't wait to see this chat blow tf up when the trailer is shown
i dont..i´m scared 
might need a longer slowmode 😄
There will be a lookout role ping I imagine
I´ll be fine. jeezee got my back..i think
I’m reinstalling all my stuff bro. Once I get desktop discord back online I’ll be around
I’m also going to the gym like an hour before so might cut it a bit close
we need something more than a new trailer....
Priorities
Imagine the reaction to a shadow drop 😱 🤯 🤯 😱 🤯
I love Windrose. But my overall health is still more important
instabuy
just put it on allow to send 1 message every 30 mins, that will trigger em 😂
Gotta time rest day to today like I did 😉
he gotta carry me somehow haha
Pfp checks out
Agreed....but you know, you could have gone to the gym 3 hours before...just sayin' 😉 
I’ve already taken the last week off to heal my shins after I injured them. Can’t afford any more rest days
hmm gameplay reveals and launch dates
Shin splints?
Hoping it’s just splints. But also might be stress fractures
Usually only happens if not used to walking. How u injured your shins?
I've had a few injuries myself
Did u not get xray?
last year it was alot of gameplay reveals and not alot of launch dates.
I’m joining the Navy and have to train for the fitness test. I’m good for everything BUT the 2.4km timed run so I was hitting the treadmill hard. Evidently too hard
Whats the time limit?
well they can't re-reveal existing gameplay so something new
For me 14 mins tops. But I’m aiming to get in sub 12
My lower leg strain reduced once I got the right running shoes
ez, there is a life hack for that. just brake your leg, and voila 3 months. enough to fully farm at least 10 islands
a tortuga reveal. haha
I got good shoes. Just losing enough weight and building the right cardio rn
I’m by no means a massive fat bugger. But heavier set than I need to be
I can afford to lose about 10kg and be fine
hmmmm
wait isn't average running pace 12km/hr? then it should take 12.... oh wait no it was 8km/hr nvmd.
I've lost 8kg since December and 8 left to go you can do it 😌
makes it sound like you are some sort of athlete or bodybuilder. damn xD
he said he's joining the navy. might as well be an athlete 😛
Hell yeah man. Thats good stuff. I’m only down about 8-10 over the last 4 months so I fully understand ye
im just skinny-fat and dear god i hate it.
was underweight my entire life till i hit 30 and then BOOM.
Lmao I am manifestly not either of those
30 is not too late to start lifting 💪
oh i began swimming.
I just come home from work if i fall sleep I know why's the 📱 screaming
Dude. Some guys lift until they are physically too old to. It’s never too late to start gyming it
ah sweet sweet social anxiety haha
so relatable 😄
also if you are a dork to training swimming is an easy way to train nearly if not all of your muscles. easily.
and typically a weekly swimming pass is cheaper than a gym pass.
man. with my amount of free time id be ripped beyond measure with that dedication
Yeah I was the same at the end of last year. I’ve been working with a PT until next week and I feel fine going myself now. I recommend doing something similar if you’re too anxious to go yourself at first
I’d happily do swimming but no pool near me enough
uhf.
Walk, bike, swim whatever it is just do it. Never stop moving.
This
True, I'm 127 years old and I still walk 5 miles three times a week...without a court order.
i hate to burst everyone's bubble... but once Windrose launches, say bye bye to moving... you'll sit an play this game 4ever
Very true
I can see some people going grind mode but I hope most take the slow path and smell the Azure dodos and the banana trees along the way.
I'm still going to the gym then Playing it when I get home I can plan my next move while on the treadmill
I can not in good conscience recommend the sniffing of any Dodo
I hope I wasn't the only one who had to google how to fill the lamp
i can 100% tell you that....
no, you weren't
I did leave feedback on that in the ui section
I already designed a t-shirt for the merch store about the filling of the lamp 🥳
Oh the lamp, yeah.
no i just set global illumination in the settings to low. and enjoy my nigh vision in caves.
cuz I was thinking like, lamp oil or whale oil or something is probably an item not available in the demo, but no you just use animal fat in the workbench
well i searched for it in the playtest.
and then forgot it again in the demo.
so. yeah.
how many different builds would you say is in WindRose - weapon wise
awesome thank you
not me eyeing the guns
you know the way you can dual wield a cutlass and a pistol? I wonder if you can dual wield guns
maybe two pistols or a musket and a pistol
also those are just the ones we had during playtest and demo.
(even though i suspect not that many more is coming)
not currently but who knows in the future
I only tried three but I can see that there are many ways to tweak things in the future because it is already baked into the systems.
Don't miss the Gameplay Publisher Trailer for Windrose, a pirate-themed survival adventure co-op game developed by Windrose Crew. Players will set out on the open seas to make sense of dark secrets, threaten challenging bosses, and seek treasure in the ultimate pirate's life. Windrose will be published by Pocketpair in Japan, with the title comi...
I love the pirate at the start
a banana is a berry.
She reminds me of my ex-wife. Even the same type of flintlock.
sure it is not an aggregate accessory fruit?
you know like strawberry is, and raspberry
nope
ok
not a proper botanical berry
for riding.... like in RDR2
WHAT DO YOU MEAN RIDING A CROCODILE
ridable animals: croc, ostrich, mule and a squirrel.
squirrel?
I ride a squirrel to work all the time. Great in rush hour.
I like berries and I like bananas
I like ginger.....it all makes sense now.
I wonder if magic will come later, we see some water based sorceries from the bosses in the trailers
and also, ridable shark is in plans for beta.
shark with lasers
oooooo baracudda
does it play dubstep too?
(hammers guitar rifs)
with some speakers roped on
Blue shark tooth speakers
I walked away for 2 minutes and we are riding squirrels now? wtf rum are you all drinkin lol
Yes rum
simmilar, Storm o’ the Scallywag Sands by Darude
I have a pretty bottle of plantation rum, which I don't like
it tastes like glue
not ideal lol
try to add water to it.
And that brings us full circle back to pirates since the synth pulse in sandstorm is the letter "R" in morse code so the entire song is him saying Arrrrrrrrrrr 😝 
whens that "update" comming ?
2 hours 36 mins eeeeeeeeeeeek
FIREBORN FLEET !
and in 5 days "Sintopia" is going to be released... april is going to be great 🙂
If Windrose shadow drops today then nothing else exists in April for me 😄
Don’t jinx us
But tru
i have planned weekend with friends to play ttrpg (pathfinder) the entire weekend. gonna cancel that if windrose drops haha.
no im not but still
👆 👆 👆
As you should! ❤️
balanced as all things should be!!
only April? if it does shadow drop, i'm going to be a pirate for at least the rest of the year 🏴☠️
even better, have your friends play windrose too.
one them actually will, he plays alot of valheim, i made him try the demo and he is hooked now too.
part of me hopes they succeed in bumping player numbers to 8 so people can start servers
For me April and beyond, but the person I answered was talking about April specifically 😉
tru, my crew counts 5 people for now, with possible 2 incoming. 8 would be sweet spot.
yeah, 4 is a comfortable friends co-op, 8-10 is a community server for a smaller streamer
and if it gets people to buy the game to hop in, we're better for it
My server has 10 slots set aside for WR and I am happy to fill it with all my pirate friends 😄
Sorry man. Had to delete so my joke landed
funny looking armor for a pirate 😂
im hoping they add option to host a private server.
is that not an option currently?
You can already pre order servers for WR 😉
how is multiplayer handled then? steamworks?
nah, i like having my own hardware, like i do with ie. Dayz
Well, you say that, but have a peep at this posted by dearest Yar earlier
Nitrado announced a partnership with Windrose a few weeks back, and I know they have been preparing
you will be able to hose private servers.
Dedicated server build will be included in the game package day 1.
fantastic news
now the real question is if it will be avaible for EA.
Was that from today I heard you say? 🤣
He just means day 1 when the EA build releases
Is there a price plan in place for dedicated server builds
you sure he means EA and not full?
I know 😄 but you cant blame a pirate for tryin to get a leak 😄
ah the old fashioned pirate knight 🤫
Is that as a separate steam depot so we can host it headless without buying the game on our server (clients need the game ofcourse)
I will say this, full completed game is still a ways off
they wont offer any official server hosting, you get the server files with the game and have to figure it out yourself.
If the alpha is anything to go by
you have access to the alpha?
not anymore
The alpha is long over and closed
lowers pistol
ok kool - i have used Nitrado before for Rust
this is great news. now i want a release date even more.....
ah yeah the nda one?
now third party server hosts will be avaible but the pricing is up to their own digression.
there also was a non-nda one last summer 2025
Nah it was just a closed test in terms of player limit
There’s been 3 tests. The original one back in 2023 that out dearest Seaweaver got to take part in, then there was the closed alpha last year, now the demo and THEN there will be the EA build. No idea what comes after
2023 i thought it was 2024. but eh. doesn't matter.
Nitrado are their official/preferred partner, so that is pretty much official server hosting 🙂 sure its not the devs running and managing their own servers, but its close enough
beta
and by what measurement do you say that?
G portal also have pre orders, Nitrado aren't anything special lol
Not sure we’re having a beta, we’re just going straight to Early Access
not bad tbh
which part?
That’s actually pretty good
Ye they are very good
oooh screenshots
haven't heard any endorsement from any of the devs for third party hosts of servers.
so idk what you mean by it being official/prefered
Don't think Gportal have a partnership, correct me if im wrong
It was in an announcement at some point
okay thanks.
I’d have to go digging for it but discord mobile sucks
no if bluename says its there i trust.
it also says on Nitrado they are official partners
Nitrado using buzzwords just to flex is unimportant
yeah i don't trust that though anyone could claim till it was found out and then "wops our mistake"
Soo Ea and Nintendo own the game
Today’s the day boys and girls
but there has been real endorsement here so it all cool.
Eh. I play solo or with some friends in coop. I’m waiting to see how the servers are first before moving to one part time
true
yes. Microsoft tried, but they dont have enough swag.
that the announcements, that they will now work in tandem with EA and Nintendo, to provide a fun and evolving new game made for the modern audience.
Not really a buzzword, both them and game publishers will be very strict with what wording they can use
Windrose: Pikachu Edition inc
I would die inside tbh
Nitrado have a history of trying to make out they are something special and have more importance then any other hosting company but continue to break fair competition laws so I will stick to a more trusted hosting service.
Pikachu with a flintlock would be funny
pikachu used gun.
it was very effective.
with incoming in summer 2027:
Captain Mario: Plunder Bros
Pikachu used 9mm.
Pikachu is now doing 25 to life.
You bring cannons to a boat fight!? Squirtle, I choose you!
Strap a pair of Charmander's to the front as a DIY greek fire
Is the windrose ea supposed to release sometime today?
i was gone for two minutes. what did i come back to omg haha
Maybe(TM) but unlikely
stupid joke i forgot the name... ill make it againg if the chance arise.
I doubt the EA will shadow drop today but the new trailer and announcement is in 1.25 hours
Nah it's in 2hrs 15min
They are part of the Triple I initiative which will give us an update of some kind. We do not know what but the Copium is stronk.
Oh... Well damn.
don't be disappointed we don't know what we're getting
lets call it what it is, char-fire galleon.
caution tho, flaming pets as weapons is definitely not safe
ey, no yoinking !
yoinker
Every morning I wake up I'm disappointed lol
i wanted to make a joke but it will be in bad taste so you get this instead.
better than me being the disappointment :(
how can tidd...
oh wait its an L and not an i after the D in your name,
well that was kinda dissapointing revelation.
dont worry, you'll die in about 80 years, so thats 29,200 mornings to go. just tough it out, it gets better eventually.
You don't have to make a joke, my life is a massive joke. 🙂
sounds fun.
I hope it's a funny joke
... see how that guy is clearly just about to land?
With my heart conditions, I think you're off by a couple of years lol
its the friendly version of my name haha
pg13 has to be uphold.
Welp. Back to work for me. After I go snag a monster from the break room. Yay for making my heart worse. >_>
late but... another trailer? 🙁
and announcement
hold on to this
<t:1775750400:R>
you might need it again in two hours
its pinned.
yes
nah i'm still counting hours.
I'm still expecting to be dissapointed...
the year is 2087
Star Citizen is still in alpha...
and half life 3 is still not confirmed.
they show the same trailer again 🤣
star citizen's budget has reached 1 billion dollars
That is the allmighty perma-alpha
has to be a shadowdrop
Yet will never be finished
the crew's mostly online......
Counting the milliseconds, up to 21600451 so far.
we still need atleast 2 so
Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment.
they need just a few billions and a decade more.
No idea if it'll be a new trailer or not, but I'm holdning my expectations at this level... #│announcements message
Still won’t be finished lmao
I believe they have said that is is more than just another trailer. As far as I am aware that is the extent of the information we have.
i love how i have 3 monitors and for whatever ungodly reason on every one of which is SC-talk 😄
its an official announcement of the winners of the comunity building tournament.
Chris Roberts is categorically incapable of finishing anything without a boss breathing down his neck.
everyone here is at that same level of expectations
i'm not
shadowdrop or bust
holy... that would be THE plot twist of plot twists
windrose is 8th most wishlisted
oh no a redname placed a fire, no nooo what have i done
dont spoil it man
im sorry. it was meant as a joke. i didn't know, i didn't know.
YOU'VE DOOMED US ALL
well, if the cow gives milk, you keep milking it....
if it's not a shadowdrop you'll be made an example of.......
i mean i am near certain that the winners will be used in the trailer.
or some trailer to come
A good idea actually, thank you! Swapping the publication right now! ❤️
I knew it.
he ruined it all ... GET HIM !
i knew it will bite me in the behind.
RIP HIM TO SHREDS
lets go full inception here: an trailer of community tournament date announcement.
there's no trailer
they weren't even brought on for this event
Give him one scurvy please.
no scurvy allowed here
This whole thing is so jinxed.
To be fair Seaweaver hasnt been doing his weekly lemon reminder I believe
a black screen and in comic sans a date featuring month and day, no year, and there is no text to describe what the date is for
He has. Late, but nonetheless
i did bring a "soon lemon drink" let see if i still got a bottle
he did dont worry
I mustve missed them than. Thats on me
yup
we're doomed
dont drink "soon"-stuff, that's a trap
Even the lemons say 'soonTM' 
TM
its lemonade. not alchohol.
big uhf
@onyx inlet your username makes me uncomfortable 🤣
less than 2 hours hype
its just gems backward
why? you don't like swedish appliances brands?
it just makes me remember Red Dwarf xD
You learn something new.. every day
actually is based on that, but i also can mention the appliances brand to make people ease up on it 😄
YESSS! 😄
doesn't work if they from Denmark or Norway though.
My bad… that idea was a little too sour
given the alternative meaning people go these days when they see "smeg" is still better
i was more refering to the brother love/hate relationship between those countries.
my favourite UK show of all time
i know, i work with people in all of them 😄
condolences.
<t:1775750400:R>
nah is easy, they are all polite and they don't dare to cross me... because i make their software work 😄
people are going to be so broken hearted later today 😄
depends if they had realistic or unrealistic expectations.
Can break whats already broken so I will survive 😄
You know not of what you speak
and what they actually do announce
well .. that contest-winner-thing you mentioned was a good guess 😄
based on developer reaction to that, it's not a contest winner reveal
i bet deep in their hearts everyone here today HOPES for a shadow drop... is just different levels of rational expectations on top of that hope
lets be real, they need to release EA before november 2026
no no no, owl .. it wasn't gonna be .. now it is !!! 😄
oh yeah for sure
whats happening in november that would make a release necessary ?
you mean cancelled
gta6 will dwarf everything in november
they didn't cancel it, they delayed everything, not just black flag, which is fair considering their restructuring
i personally, despite being a huge fan of black flag, i will skip the remake... i stopped trusting Ubisoft with my money long a go... so i'm not concerned.
ah, i see .. i never cared for GTA and probably never will. so it might dwarf some things, but i'll ignore it as i always have
i have abselutly no intention whatsoever to touch gta6 so. nah
I mean if it's just black flag with more modern combat, better visuals from skull and bones and actually well optimised (which they've been doing with their recent games) i'll be happy
remakes/remasters are uninteresting for me after Skyrim did it for the umpteenth time
i still don't and will never again trust Ubisoft with anything... not even 20 years of redemption from this day onwards will make me regain that broken trust..
me too, but thats how im hoping EA wont be released in 2027. cope is a bad drug...
I enjoyed ac odyssey and origins, valhalla wasn't for me and I haven't gotten around to shadows yet, I enjoyed far cry 4 and 5, and anno 2070, 2205, 1800 and the new 117
and which one of you is still "hoping" for Peter Molineux game this april ?
isn't that the same as with EA and ubi ?
realese date prev?
nah it cancelled
Theres going to be disappointed people either way.
If it shadow drops, people are going to think its half baked and unfinished (Its EA what do you expect)
If the release date is announced, some people will be angry/disappointed its NOT a shadow drop.
If the release date isnt announced, people will be very angry about being teased and hyped again with nothing concrete to look forward to.
The devs have said this announcement will leave people pretty happy so we're preparing for the worst but hoping for the most ideal outcome
