[digital lark]

I'm so excited for early access

[oblique rock]

right before the weekend too so ppl who only have free time on weekends can get the news, and have time to be excited

[crude nimbus]

Hello we know the price for this EA ?

[granite oxide]

Early Access is on 14th with about 95% overall more content than the Demo had. Explorable area of Archipelago is considerably larger with many more islands than demo. Priced at $29.99 for base game and $39.99 for support Edition with the Shanties Soundtrack,Wallpapers, etc..

On Content – See Yar_Master’s post here #💬│windrose-chat message

Dedicated Servers will be available at launch. See Benji’s response to Player numbers here #💬│windrose-chat message

Ships can be named up to 20 characters and some basic customization.

Demo ends on Early Access, but characters, items and buildings from demo will not transfer to the Early Access, - different client, different game builds.

[restive folio]

would you guys say the demo is still worth to play till e.a ?

[umbral sun]

lets hope for the price be regionally

[oblique rock]

honestly yea, perfect 4 day game to chill ( if you don't delve too much into building )

[ruby badge]

so what will reputation effect ? is it the prices of the things we buy from different factions? or does it has more in depth effect

[molten flame]

30$ ok. pointed

[severe cobalt]

Will the EA be available on Geforce Now?

[oblique rock]

apparently it is

[modest verge]

Oh, lol so I didn't imagine seeing $30 at first. I was like, wow I could have sworn I just saw the price at $30 but corrected myself to $40 lol.

[umbral sun]

Great. 30$ for me is the same as 150$ for US.

[ebon osprey]

what is this?

[north marsh]

SC from the new trailer

[ruby badge]

screenshot from the trailer

[oblique rock]

faction screen i'm guessing , on tortuga perhaps

[granite oxide]

They not just on Tortuga

[ebon osprey]

my guess is probably the price of the items (discounts?) that or a system like in WoW with the various factions

[granite oxide]

Rep system - for unlocks

[restive folio]

Community wants GFN support, but devs haven’t confirmed it and no official info mentions it. For most indie Early Access titles
GFN support usually comes late, or not at all. Unless game is extremely popular and NVIDIA reaches out.

[hexed nebula]

Can't wait to accidentally sink my boat on the 14th!

[past stratus]

Will there be a PvP toggle for dedicated servers or is that not an early access feature?

[ebon osprey]

all im saying is drop anchor and DRRRRIFFFFT

[abstract aspen]

you sell goodies for money and use insignias for reputation

[restive folio]

seeing this statement from soul king made my evening, Yohoho!

Dang. Figured as much. Oh well.

I don't want PvP I just want to sail the seas and just take in the sights of the beautiful world ahead

[mild cedar]

Anyone know if we'll get in-game chat or emotes to communicate?
It's kinda hard for the mic-less.

[graceful bolt]

You can write messages by dropping rocks on the sand.

[abstract aspen]

nothing we know of so far but im sure its something we might get in the future. id love some emotes

[crude nimbus]

Is it possible to create a guild or a clan? To establish a shared base with friends?

[ebon osprey]

"in your head" yes, there isnt any official system though

[granite oxide]

When you invite them to your server they can build and share base with you

[abstract aspen]

atm its all shared. no lockable chests (yet?) its the same system as in the demo

[toxic escarp]

HYPE HYPE HYPE

[dense kiln]

will "co-op on one ship" statement from demo feedback be available on early access?

[toxic escarp]

check the trailer

[granite oxide]

yes they can use canons

[spiral quiver]

ok so, do we have dedicated server software at launch ? as in can i host a server on my spare pc for me and my brother so we don't have to be on at the same time?

[modest verge]

So one person gets the loot and the rest have to craft it ...

[granite oxide]

Early Access is on 14th with about 95% overall more content than the Demo had. Explorable area of Archipelago is considerably larger with many more islands than demo. Priced at $29.99 for base game and $39.99 for support Edition with the Shanties Soundtrack,Wallpapers, etc..

[modest verge]

Which is why I didn't even try and get caught up in serious building in the demo.

[spiral quiver]

all that was required was a "yes"

[hot plover]

In game shanties or like an OST... And if it's OST.... Copyright free for streamers on twitch or no?

[cyan veldt]

Will the EA be free to play?

[hot plover]

No

[cyan veldt]

They dropped a price yet?

[granite oxide]

Great question will get an answer

[spiral quiver]

wait..the shanties aren't in the reg version?

[hot plover]

29.99 USD or 39.99 for supporter edition

[tight violet]

One months worth of ramen, apples and bananas.

[cyan veldt]

Oh nice, I thought it would be around that

[livid maple]

Will Tortuga be on the map on launch?

[hot plover]

I saw something up above that said yes

[fleet star]

Do we know what’s coming the Early Access vs what in the Demo now?

[granite oxide]

yes

[hot plover]

Yes vaguely check the pins

[modest verge]

A lot more stuff. Don't worry.

[granite oxide]

[lime horizon]

will tortuga be in an online hub in early acess to meet otherplayers

[cyan veldt]

Do we get a Discord role if we get supporter edition?

[lyric pilot]

https://klipy.com/gifs/star-59

[granite oxide]

Though from my perspective lot more islands than 30

[still oriole]

its going to be a long weekend

[modest verge]

I'm still playing Crimson Desert, so will be fine, myself.

[bleak veldt]

is there pvp in this game?

#💬│windrose-chat message

[swift badger]

I am so tempted to call off work on Tuesday

[hot plover]

Hilariously I'm gonna bide my weekend time before this game launches with demos I grabbed from games featured in the Triple-I showcase 😂

[tight violet]

I look at it this way, I wouldn't be eating for four weeks after the 14th anyway. 😆 But I will have to stay hydrated.

[hot plover]

Saaaame

[modest verge]

Is triple-I a play on AAA but for indies? Which have been turning out better than so called AAA anyway.

[hot plover]

Yes that's the intent it seems

[spiral quiver]

just saw it's on the epic store too, we gonna need to login to epic to play?

[tawny silo]

i can understand it can mess the game up if its in pve aspect, thats why you have pvp toggle off and on, depends the server host. so people can be happy whatever they wish to.

[granite oxide]

Answer is No copyright enforced, however, they would greatly appreciate you buying the Shanties with the game 🙂

[cyan veldt]

So we will get PVP then 😂 🎉

[hot plover]

Oh I'm absolutely buying the supporter edition if I'm doing that lmao

[tight violet]

I'm singing some shanties now into a microphone.

[granite oxide]

Then you golden in their eyes 😉

[swift badger]

I'm thinking about it too. Could use some shanties in my DND campaign

[tight violet]

https://tenor.com/view/do-it-get-to-work-gif-21630516

[hot plover]

Not like I wasn't already buying the supporter edition anyways. Loool

[granite oxide]

Likewise 🙂

[cyan veldt]

You don't get a free copy? jeez

[modest verge]

I'll get the supporter edition for the same reason I bought every bundle in V Rising on EA release, and throughout it's development. As well as instant bought games like Enshrouded. Windrose was really good in demo and wanna support it being the best it can be.

[tight violet]

Rollin down the street in my truck wid da lift kit spinnin 20's and jamin to sea shanties. Er'one gonna know it me pullin up. 🥳

[modest verge]

I was checking every time the discord had the red dot for new announcement, and being disappointed every time it wasn't a release date. Was fully prepared to see the same thing today but it was release date.

[raven dagger]

You have to build a game for that to be worthwhile though

[dire osprey]

Why the game weren’t 99.9$ 😒

[raven dagger]

Nothing stopping you buying extra copies

[granite oxide]

@dire osprey just buy Extra copies to give away and they will appreciate it greatly 😄

[dire osprey]

https://tenor.com/view/the-finals-finals-soon-release-release-date-gif-15780878887841621711

Not many people would pay that for an EA game

[dire osprey]

I will buy a copy for my friend to work in my base 😂

[still rose]

So now that we know about Early Access, I dont want to build anymore in my demo world because I assume we lose it all right?

[toxic bane]

sooo much earlier than i thought itd be........... any idea on prices?......... lol

[timber mauve]

I can use an access giveaway, if anyone is willing to contribute

[light vine]

Y'all the price is in the announcement link: $30 for base and $40 for base plus soundtrack and backgrounds.

[frigid nova]

Come on the 14th

[near zodiac]

GTA 6 console EA that just doesn't show that EA tag 😂

[toxic bane]

haha my bad lol i only seen the video didnt scroll up enough to see the news link on it LOL thx

[soft badge]

Defenitly getting the supporter bundle but I may have to give away one Widrose game on my show on day one maybe throw in a Rumble hat. Would you guys be down for a show with a free game giveaway?

[ionic elbow]

hey friendos

getting the game! Quick question will there be private servers being hosted?

Similar to say Conan Exiles?

[near zodiac]

I'll have to wait wait to buy supporter one... way too many good games coming this year and I'm glad windrose got an early start. Would have been very hard to resist spending on something else if it released late into the year (still buying the base game, of course)

[hot birch]

wish i could go ahead and buy today

[toxic bane]

lol sadly i dont get paid for a week AFTER release 🙁 LOL i wasnt expecting it to release THIS early >,<

[hot birch]

I get to buy 2 copies one for me one for wife

[green palm]

I may be blind or just outright stupid but I was playing the demo with my girlfriend and I couldn't find anything like a party system, is there or will there be something like a party (crew) system as me and a group of people want to play together

[toxic bane]

haha i feel that lol i might be buyin 3 when i get paid lol i got 2 friends who want it aswell lol

[granite oxide]

You are basically in a party on the server

[north marsh]

Rotten luck mate, I get paid on release day thankfully

[hot birch]

you hoist

[toxic bane]

should just be automaticaly partied.. lol

[soft badge]

If your GF was in your world then that's the party. Should be able to see all players on the map as if in a party, friend

[toxic bane]

lucky bish!!! lol tade me paydays! hahahahahaha

[granite oxide]

lot has to do with settings if you have shared progression on and what not.

[hot birch]

host sorry been a long day kicking a nice drink

[toxic bane]

faIr but still lol

[green palm]

Thank you guy's, I was more hoping it'd be separate but I guess that might come later on 😄

[errant crystal]

Wonder how many different ships? I REALLY want a man o war

[sinful aspen]

@granite oxide just for old times' sakes.... EA when? 😂

[errant crystal]

i mean like @granite oxide mentioned shared progression caN BE TURNED ON AND OFF

[hot birch]

[obtuse furnace]

Ya forgot.Whats the price?

[toxic bane]

ew i hit caplock on accident 🙁 lol sry haha

[errant crystal]

Lol

[raven dagger]

Man o war sounds horrible big floating brick pass, gimme a small nimble vessel like the ketch any day

[errant crystal]

Oi, i want a big ol tank of a ship with buncha cannons to mess around on lol

[zealous dove]

any info if questing was made more seamless with a group ?

[sinful aspen]

Ah yes, I see Mick's still an anti man of war dude!

[timber badge]

Corvette/schooner all the way

[obtuse furnace]

I think i name my ship Billy 0´ Tea.

[north marsh]

They're like floating fortresses lol

[timber badge]

i'll name mine "Ability"

[toxic bane]

bruh... i have the trailer playin in the background just cause the song is a whole vibe......... LOL

[ionic elbow]

is this game gonna have pvp?

[timber badge]

or, "A bill O' Tea"

[raven dagger]

Yeah sounds horrible lol

[oblique gate]

see u next week bois

[errant crystal]

Always wanted to try a man o war when i seen it in black flag

[sinful aspen]

im so thrilled 14th is on my day off from work

[soft badge]

Not until sales hit and the team can expand. till then maybe hold out till the game is up to par with what your looking for

[sinful aspen]

going to load up on snacks, drinks, and etc.. playing all day!!!

[toxic bane]

okay one question though....... i asked WAY before back when the demo released on net fest.... BUT

[raven dagger]

And even then, maybe

[ionic elbow]

so its more of a mmo than a survival game then?

[toxic bane]

can we build on ships yet? like benches an what not?.............

[lofty basin]

no

[modest verge]

Same. Can't preorder EA games I think, though.

[toxic bane]

like in EA release

[errant crystal]

Reall question is... can i use my ps5 controller... seen it supports xbox controller but dont hav 1

[raven dagger]

No single player coop not mmo

[ionic elbow]

ahhhh

[soft badge]

More survival then MMO unless you are able to private server with many strangers

[lofty basin]

this is not an mmo.

[ionic elbow]

yeah I was thinking private server for rp stuff

[north marsh]

We can build from ships though lol, used that trick to build my pier

[ionic elbow]

like conan exiles

[tawny silo]

it should able to with 3rd party program to support ps5 controller

[stray root]

does anyone know or coop on one ship will be available at launch?

[zealous dove]

its a coop survival, it wont have that many players, it was max 4 i heard now its up to 8

[errant crystal]

3rd party program?

[hot birch]

never played conan but enshrouded and valhiem seems similar

[modest verge]

Ya, great game. But I thought it weird people were saying this was a replacement for MMO styles predecessors. Not if you actually want the MMO aspects from them. Most we can hope for is playing with friends and getting some nice juicy content updates or DLC later on.

[lofty basin]

yes. your coop mates will be able to operate broadsides on your ship.

[toxic bane]

lol im wantin to know if the EA will alow us to build benches on our ships.... lol couldnt do it in demo... i asked before and they said it was hard to get it to work... im HOPINGa they figured it out for the EA release lol

[modest verge]

though a lot of people will play these non MMO games for years still anyway.

[lofty basin]

again: no

[toxic bane]

very sad 🙁

[hot plover]

OMG HELL YEAH. Your trailer version of going down to old Maui is slightly different then the original so I'm hype as shii. Also I was already in the middle of downloading some copyright free shanties for when I'm streaming this game....

So being able to use these is better because I can be sneaky like

"Hey so if you like the background music right now, you should go buy the deluxe edition of this game and have them yourself ;)"

[errant crystal]

Wonder why we cant preorder tho? We needa wait till 14th to actually buy it?

[modest verge]

Can't preorder EA games on steam I believe.

[lofty basin]

because preordering is the devil ;D

[errant crystal]

Oo

Wildrose gets a preorder pass since demo was so good

[hot plover]

Because it's EA. You can't pre buy Early Access due to steam reasons™

[sinful aspen]

https://klipy.com/gifs/shut-up-and-take-my-money-futurama-4

[toxic bane]

yea steam got rid of being able to preorder EA games a few years ago >,<

[lofty basin]

which is a good thing

for all gamers

[hot plover]

Yeah I get why tbh.

[errant crystal]

Ahhh ok, doesn't make sense but then again its EA

[north marsh]

protecting people from themselves lol

[modest verge]

Not all EA games are created equal. It was probably to avoid hassle of fake games, or dev drama that made EA games fail to come out or not at all what promised in EA.

[hot plover]

Yepp

There's alot of unscrupulous Deb's that take advantage of EA

[toxic bane]

yes and no? lol it protects people from trash devs who post fake games up and then take money an never finish their game... lol its not the peoples fault for that haha

[granite oxide]

Please do not promote other games in the Windrose chat

[tawny silo]

that was for PS5 software, not game.

[granite oxide]

Put it in #1352659456911212636 or dm them it please

[tawny silo]

[granite oxide]

or #🎭│offtopic

[toxic bane]

that wasnt a game... lol it was a program to use a ps5 controller in a game lol

[north marsh]

True, I would probably have mentioned that but I'm typing with 1 hand and eating snacks with the other, wanted to keep it short lol

[toxic bane]

skill issue 😛 i type with one hand all the time hahaha

[wicked comet]

Anyone else psyched?

[lofty basin]

yeah i dont think there was an issue with that link as it was directly related to the windrose based discussion.

[modest verge]

Everyone in this chat, lol which is why we're in here talking.

[granite oxide]

I gotcha on that, all I saw was a link with prices and we seen too many people posting games - reflex 🙂

[soft badge]

Frikin vibrating I am so syked to play the EA, Mateys.

[civic rune]

Cant wait for the 14th

[tawny silo]

gotta help others that own ps5 controllers

[north marsh]

I usually just use it for wasd lol

[tranquil smelt]

I've already bought my rum and called in sick on the 14th

[toxic bane]

haha it happens... but yea someone was askin how to use a controller for it so they posted the program to use it lol

[lofty basin]

tell them to play Mouse and Keyboard like true gamers

[abstract aspen]

be careful with promoting other software and such. best is to write something like a little flavor text, makes it easier for us. weve seen so much spam and such, makes us have war flashbacks haha

[granite oxide]

Never could use controllers myself and I totally get it - Mouse n Keyboard of a Hotas setup is as far as I go lol

[void hollow]

I know the saved file won't transfer, but should I just completely uninstall the demo? Or will EA just update it?

[soft badge]

Yea I told them I have a stomach bug 5 days in advance lmao

[wicked comet]

Just use a steam controller?

[lofty basin]

it will be two different version so the demo woudl take extra space

[toxic bane]

haha still skill issue 😛 lol haha im just joshin ya 😛 lol

[granite oxide]

Demo will get deleted

[wicked comet]

Links automatically

[toxic bane]

mouse and keyboard is best anyway LOL

[wicked comet]

What about our builds? :~:

[void hollow]

Will the EA version of the game completely remove ALL files of the demo? Or will I have to find the saved files and manually remove that as well? (I hate digging for left over files).

[modest verge]

only exist in your demo

[lofty basin]

gone. reduced to atoms :D

[soft badge]

Not sure I want to delete my masterpiece just yet lol. Will hold demo as a showcase for friends that want to know what the game is and what it can do!

[modest verge]

This is why I curbed my desires to build and completely avoided it in the demo. knew to wait for the release.

[toxic bane]

FACTS lol

[lofty basin]

you shouldnt be forced to do anything. afaik if you want to keep both it should be possible to just download the game and play

[north marsh]

Just until you build bigger and better

[lofty basin]

bro gonna change his mind real quick once he sees all the new toys to build with

[soft badge]

I think a permanant demo would be a big selling point for the game. hope they leave it on steam. that way friends can get demo and if they get the same itch we did then is a good selling piece

[clear copper]

Like so?

[soft badge]

Oh we are so going to live up to our Master Builder title my friend. So many ideas swimming around in my head.

[tawny silo]

i mean, you can ask a neighbor to mow thier lawn for 2 weeks for $30

[toxic bane]

yea... give people a taste of it still so they can be like "yea... i LIKE this" an then buy it... instead of just watching videos lol

[soft badge]

This guy gets it

[granite oxide]

They can still taste it now

[toxic bane]

look... videos of games can be helpful to decide sure... BUT... playing somethin an watchin a video... two DIFFERENT things... ive watched vids on games an bought the gamew thinkin itd be good an it was trash... lol

[soft badge]

Well I am giving away a copy of the EA game on release day on my show so no mowing needed, just need to show up lol. Could be you

[lofty basin]

careful not to turn it into self ad here ^^

Many a time I have fallen victim to this

[tawny silo]

[soft badge]

I know. always say "My Show" and nothing further. I have been careful

[hot plover]

Wait wait waaait hold on. That 01:00 PDT release time... I see y'all are using military time for the others. So does that mean it's 1AM PDT for the release!?!?

(please tell me yes this means I can stream it well before work ;6;)

[modest verge]

Oh, they're removing the deno?

[granite oxide]

yes

[toxic bane]

on release yes

[soft badge]

No was a general statement. No clue whats going to happen honestly

[modest verge]

Yes. 1 AM otherwise it would be 1300

[toxic bane]

but keeping it would be better....

[hot plover]

HELL YESS HELL YESSSS. I need to get a stream promo done now.

[granite oxide]

More of a resource allocation issue I believe. No need to maintain and update it - those people need to be working on full release. Totally different game builds and clients.

[modest verge]

If the EA is like 95% more content than demo, then I don't know why they would remove the demo. Sounds like an easy way to create some windrose addi--I mean enthusiasts.

[lofty basin]

problem is. with the game evolving through early access, a lot of things in demo will be outdated.

[modest verge]

true true

[granite oxide]

And some things in demo are already outdated allot lol

[modest verge]

Wonder how different EA release start is from Demo... one of the red names couldn't even clearly remember the demo build lol

[lofty basin]

there are already quite a few things that are diffferent between the content in demo and the early content in the EA

[sinful aspen]

just uninstalled demo. I'm ready for EA!

[lofty basin]

me neither honestly

[narrow sentinel]

Mostly good things

[toxic bane]

thats fair but it still gives a taste.... and if things get WAY too different then the devs could cut the first part of the game into a demo.. havin it stop at like getting your crew and then sailing the ship (stop it before the fight even) lol

[clear copper]

5 days of boredom for ye

[graceful bolt]

Something something, stranded on an island.

[north marsh]

4 days 8 hrs and 28 mins

[lofty basin]

that would again requiere a bit of effort.
its not just "cut it there"

having the demo be 30gb and have an arbitrary line to cut is just odd.

so it would need to be a maintained client

[hot plover]

Or go check out the other games in the Triple-I initiative and play some of those demos.

[lofty basin]

my head is only filled by crocodile attack patterns

[graceful bolt]

[brisk lynx]

Is it to soon to start asking, When is 1.0 ??? 🤣

[north marsh]

yh that roman age city builder looked cool

[lofty basin]

if everything goes as planned... likely somewhere in 1.5-2.5 yaears

[soft badge]

Yea the demo not being an acurate portrail of the game is a hardship. You will be missed Kraken!

[timber badge]

pirate time

[obtuse furnace]

Only 3 Days left Matys. Then we can get Rum, Quest Beer and Mead, Cause that are the things a pirate need. Like Alestorm said.

[brisk lynx]

That's actually a good reasonable answer to a question that was meant jokingly. I like that timeframe.

[tawny silo]

I wonder if we ever go tortuga, might have rep vendors.

[lofty basin]

im a reddit and discord mod. i dont understand jokes.

[north marsh]

Might have to splash out on a bottle or 2 for my first game session

[lofty basin]

maybe not only in tortuga

[tawny silo]

[obtuse furnace]

We don´t have PVP, aight?

[lofty basin]

no PvP in Early Access or currently planned.

[sinful aspen]

That's 4 days and 20 hours, tyvm!!!

I'll make sure to keep everyone updated, don't you worry lol

[obtuse furnace]

Or Drag Races with ships? That would be funny lol.

[lofty basin]

not sure if that would be fun :D

[toxic bane]

you know whats ACTUALLY sad... windrose DEMO.... did better and and more repeated players... than ubisofts skull and bones........ A TRIPLE-A GAME FULLY RELEASED... and the DEMO.... of windrose...... DEMO did better......... whats that tell you?... LOL

[brisk lynx]

That's actually one form of pvp I might be able to get behind. Bar fights, fists only, no deaths, no lost items. Voluntary only.

[granite oxide]

That would definitely be fun.

[abstract aspen]

not triple A..its AAAA smh

[granite oxide]

fist fights lol

[obtuse furnace]

Means we HAVE to buy supporter editions. To give the Devs the credits they deserve.

[lofty basin]

that comparing two completly different games doesnt contribute to your own happiness and will eventually make yourself bitter. :)

[soft badge]

For sure

[obtuse furnace]

Is it like batteries? The more A´s they have, they smaller they get?

[brisk lynx]

They're definitely getting my supporter edition.

[toxic bane]

theyre both pirate games... the two closest pirate games to compare too....

[north marsh]

yh no doubt

[abstract aspen]

nah its just the players screaming at them to stop this madness

[shrewd jasper]

for fu--king sure lol

[lofty basin]

they couldnt be more different other than "involves pirates"

[valid abyss]

That is because no one wanted that trash game. lol

[tranquil smelt]

Any idea how many players we're getting at start? We gettng 8 players or just the 4?

[north marsh]

8

[soft badge]

like comparing crimson D with Sword and Shield cause they have swords lol

[lofty basin]

4 is recommended. in theory you can push your own server... way above the 8 player limit. but be aware tghat it gonna struggle a lot

[stone igloo]

the problem is skull and bones could have worked but the marketing was so ridiculous that it immediately put a bad taste in everyone's mouths, pair that with the game just being meh and you ruined your chances

[tranquil smelt]

Thanks bud

[obtuse furnace]

Are there settings for those co op thingies? Like a griefer player can´t tear down a hole base?

[lofty basin]

dont invite griefers to your server :D

[granite oxide]

thats pvp and pvp is not in EA

[valid abyss]

Skull and bones was meant to be like this game, but then they changed the idea and made that awful game.

[lofty basin]

i am pretty sure if you allowe me on your server i can just demolish everything in theory.

[granite oxide]

but pve players can be pirates too - so be careful who you invite in - if they do that - you invited them for it

[north marsh]

np, like Lily says, it might melt your PC if you have too many ships and stuff

[stone igloo]

also while the black flag ship combat is really fun, it doesnt hold up well enough to support a game almost entirely on its own, it serves best as a complement to other gameplay

[obtuse furnace]

Hmmm.... How´s that ya help me build a giant base?

[granite oxide]

yes if its set up for sure. But the wording grifers just normally goes with pvp lol

[stone igloo]

like in this game or in that yakuza game

[lofty basin]

sorry i will be busy building myself :D

[obtuse furnace]

It was worth a try:-(...

[soft badge]

Did some one say BUILDING?! You Salty Dog! I'M IN!!

[distant mountain]

Soon that’s fire

[lofty basin]

please no concealed swearing.

[granite oxide]

more new awesome pieces have been added in that were not in before 😉

[obtuse furnace]

So the Best Thingie is to sail alone as a lonesome Wolf.

[lofty basin]

no not quite

[granite oxide]

I'll be in a server with firends in family for sure 🙂

[soft badge]

Got you, Matey

[restive prawn]

So is what’s coming out just what was in the demo?

[granite oxide]

Some bosses - having friends along is a big plus

[lusty patio]

Just keep in mind that whoever you invite has full access like you do, the only way to "kick" someone is to change server password, I guess

[lofty basin]

demo x10 more or less :D

[clear copper]

You can build something crazy like this from the trailer.

[soft badge]

So excited to see all the new sticks and beams lmbo

[robust iris]

whats the price going to be?

[toxic bane]

will we get multiple ships? like new ships?

[lusty patio]

Took 2 people and 100 hours of their time :)

[obtuse furnace]

Holy Moley.... Bosses ike that ragdollin Boars?

[lofty basin]

29,99 or 39,99 USD

[brisk lynx]

30 for regular 40 for supporter

[robust iris]

ty

[valid abyss]

That is a great price

[soft badge]

I want those two on my build crew lol

[clear copper]

Dang. Very impressive indeed 👏

[restive prawn]

Where did they say that at? Want to get my friends to request the day off to play 😂

[north marsh]

We need that vid!

[granite oxide]

On Content – See Yar_Master’s post here #💬│windrose-chat message

[lofty basin]

lets be real. this base is horribly inpractical. :D

[void granite]

hey captains o/

i already played the demp to completion but saw the thing about playing the demo for the spyglass recently, do i have to play again/to what point to claim it?

[modest verge]

Absolutely amazing! I was worried how good the building would be compared to Enshrouded, but all those entries I saw in the contest was like, "Yep, I'm building a whole ol pirate city eventually."

[soft badge]

Ahoy, Matey

[obtuse furnace]

Imagine ya have such a big base and dunno where your chests are.

[soft badge]

DO EEET!

[modest verge]

Always have the offload room

[brisk lynx]

I don't know if the spyglass will be in EA or not it might be a 1.0 thing

[void granite]

it says it is on the steam page

[soft badge]

Do not underestimate the power of sticks and beams, me hardy!

[obtuse furnace]

Can we fire Cannons at our BAses?

[void granite]

"Play the demo to claim an exclusive spyglass for the Early Access!" -steam

[timber badge]

me hearty

[modest verge]

I don't underestimate anything anymore. Seeing people's builds in every game teaches me new tricks and ideas for articulating builds.

[lusty patio]

Yes, if you mean "shoot at my base from my ship"

[abstract aspen]

you should get it if you have played the demo. its for ea

[void granite]

just wasmt sure. i played the demo when it first came out so i didnt think itd hurt to ask, hyped for the EA!

[modest verge]

WAit what? I did play the demo? HOw does this work.

[timber badge]

Don't remove the Demo, it's the perfect size to whet appetites for the game

[lofty basin]

i actually havent tested it yet. can you bind them together as in make them shoot several at once? or only one cannon per interact?
like in theory it could act like a broadside on a ship?

[lusty patio]

No, you cant't shoot decorative ones

[soft badge]

But things have changed so does not represent the new structure. I said the same thing lol

[void granite]

maybe the windrose crew ben knows somethin

[obtuse furnace]

Thanks for theAnswer. Now i´m even a bit more hyped. I build a base with massive Tower and i have the highground then. a six sided Tower with a cannon on each side.

[lusty patio]

Destroying your own property with hefty broadside is always available though

[clear copper]

Can you do a "SoT" and fire yourself out of a cannon?

[lofty basin]

YET please

[obtuse furnace]

Then i got that wrong lol.

[lusty patio]

Can't promise anything.
Yet.

[soft badge]

Didn't need that wall and tower anyway, heh

[lofty basin]

cannons are the best Axe you can find

[soft badge]

Great mining picks too

[clear copper]

What about in game chat, text / voice?

[void granite]

cannons? i think you meant advance deforestation techniques

[tawny silo]

is there ingame chat? i would love to talk to my friends ingame.

[void granite]

prox chat would go CRAZY

[abstract aspen]

nothing yet

[abstract aspen]

oh i would love that lol

[lusty patio]

Not for now, with small coop parties it was not that high on our list

[lofty basin]

dont think its necessary as you mainly play with your friends in coop

[soft badge]

Just lend me a pig and I got you, me hardy. No gunpowder needed

[granite oxide]

Discord kinda fills that

[tawny silo]

not for deaf people

[void granite]

not necessary, still a good addition, things that have it always tend to be more enjoyable in my experience, would be a nice addition down the road

[granite oxide]

you can use discord chat too not just voice

[tawny silo]

its why ingame chat is important

[stone igloo]

will we have to craft the ammo for our ships? I dunno if that was a demo exclusive thing that we just had it with the cannons

[lusty patio]

Nope

[lusty patio]

Understandable, but we don't have chats for now :(

[void granite]

i want to be able to hunt down bounties one day o7

[void granite]

one day at a time!

[tawny silo]

im hoping for later update, i still got hopes.

[soft badge]

Ships and on foot would be cool. two types of bounties

[void granite]

camp raids like when we rescued the prisoners felt cool

[lofty basin]

lets all hate on WB for holding the nemesis system hostage

[void granite]

didnt that expire tho

[slow pumice]

Haven't seen anything about this yet but with EA saying 3 ships to sail is the starter boat 1 of the 3 or do we have the starter plus 3 ships?

[soft badge]

Yea that one main camp with like 7 pirates was awesome. good test of yer metal

[void granite]

nvm it expires in 10 years from now

[lofty basin]

august 11 2036

its an absolute joke honestly

[north marsh]

Pretty sure it's 3 ships and the boat

[void granite]

yeah i also googled, gonna be some banger games in a decade, maybe gta 6 will add it when it launches LOL

[slow pumice]

Nice didnt know and wanted to ask cus wording can be deceiving

[abstract aspen]

boat, ketch, brig and frigate

[obtuse furnace]

Never tries that. But one question: Can ya fire Cannons at a forest and then the only thing ya have to do is grab that massive amount of precious wood?

[granite oxide]

providing you hit the trees 😛

[obtuse furnace]

But that works????

[granite oxide]

yup a fun passive way to play

listen to shanties while you level a forest

[obtuse furnace]

Cool.... Thank you:-)

[granite oxide]

Also good for breaking sulfur and other things too 🙂

[real canyon]

do we also have to wait till the 14th to purchase the early access or will a pre purchase be coming?

[mental belfry]

it's 4 max players game ?
right guys?

[brisk lynx]

have to wait, no prepurchase

[obtuse furnace]

We definitely need a mortar on our ships.

[granite oxide]

14th

[real canyon]

ok thanks

[modest verge]

Steam doesn't do preorders for EA games

[north marsh]

8 player max on launch

[mental belfry]

oh nice they increased it

i played demo and it was 4 at that time

[hidden juniper]

God... dangit... was hopeing this would come out on a weekend lol

[green wigeon]

read precisely. ships ima assume the devs arenr idiots and realisw the dinghy is a boat and not a ship

[granite oxide]

See Benji’s response to Player numbers here #💬│windrose-chat message

[modest verge]

Never. Gotta account for possible issues and be at work to fix.

[green wigeon]

https://tenor.com/view/amanda-seyfried-call-in-sick-feeling-im-gif-12949741

[abstract aspen]

it wont run away until that, thats for sure haha

[brisk lynx]

That's smart

[hidden juniper]

I work in a nursing home.... got to p;ay the bills for the lights to stay on in that place

[obtuse furnace]

Oh Folks.... My Ryzen 7 7700 and my RX7600 XT are definitely ready for the 14th of April.

[green wigeon]

oh thats... thats actually clever

[brisk lynx]

Nothing worse than patching on a friday, patch breaks the game then have to wait for devs to get back to fix it.

[twin snow]

will the game run better on EA? or was demo a better version?

[green wigeon]

you must be an american, who doesnt get paid during ilness

[modest verge]

Lol what? Demo is old build. WHy would you think it would run worse?

[granite oxide]

Hopefully optimization has continued to improve and not go the other way 🙂

[modest verge]

or do you mean optimized better for demo than Ea

[twin snow]

so it will run better ok

[green wigeon]

i want to use the r word on account of how profoundly stupid this question is

[hidden juniper]

one yes, but two i meant I got to pay the bills of the facility. I'm the office manager. got pay things and collect money from people 24/7

[abstract aspen]

definitely!

[green wigeon]

o sounds fun /g

[hot plover]

4days 20 hours... 420 blaaaze it

[green wigeon]

chat i am almist done cleansing my boat pillows of mold stains

[brisk lynx]

If you insist

[ruby hawk]

will the multiplayer be in the early access

[modest verge]

yes

[abstract aspen]

coop up to 8 people :)

[ruby hawk]

nice

[fathom osprey]

I just saw the early access trailer.

TAKE MY MONEY

TAKE IT

I DON'T EVEN WANT IT ANYMORE

[modest verge]

Yep

[obtuse furnace]

The best on the trailer in my opinion is that banging back music. And how perfectly fit the 3 shots to the beat at the beginning.

[brisk lynx]

Tuesday. 30 dollars for the regular edition, 40 dollars for the supporter edition if you want to give a little extra to the cause,.

[fathom osprey]

Can I just give them my bank account information and my spleen?

[obtuse furnace]

Then we know our duty.

[twin snow]

your printed out fiat is so inflated its worthless anyway

[midnight patrol]

ok I checked the faq and I don’t think I missed it somewhere, do we know if it’ll be playable on steam deck?

If not that’s ok I’ll wait for PS5 release, game looks really good

[brisk lynx]

Yeah I'm going to go back and watch the trailer again. I only seen it when it first aired almost 8.5 hours ago. There was a lot there. I was hyper focused on watching for that release date.

[twin snow]

i assume EA will have full controller support unlike the demo

[obtuse furnace]

Are there any plans for a Cookbook in Pirate style?

[near zodiac]

on paper it should be, but if you're playing without separate monitor, mouse and keyboard there could be problems

[abstract aspen]

it will have better support as far as i know but its still not perfect.

[near zodiac]

or another controller, probably works too

[tawny silo]

kinda disappointed there wont be ingame chat but it is what it is

[green wigeon]

its early access. Not full release

[near zodiac]

probably intended for playing with people you know, in which case discord

[tawny silo]

so was valheim, it was EA in release, it had ingame chat

[near zodiac]

but uh, so long as people really want it don't see why not

[tiny bramble]

anyone know if we can join other folks' world with our char or are we locked to our own world?

[modest verge]

I mean... Enshrouded technically the chat but no one I played with ever used it or even noticed the few times I did... But at same time V Rising had the full chat.

[abstract aspen]

since it is "just" a 4-8 people coop, they kept is as low priority for now. it might come later on :)

[slate gyro]

You’re literally using discord 😭

There’s your in game chat

[modest verge]

Does WIndrose even have proximity chat?

[soft badge]

I have taken leveled character to friends new worlds in demo. so hopefully in EA that is possible too

[abstract aspen]

no

[granite oxide]

currently no

[modest verge]

I know people are going to set up RP servers and all that and will 100% need some way to communicate in game.

[tiny bramble]

sweet! thank you!

[shy vine]

Is the cap of 8 gonna be alongside the EA launch?

[brisk lynx]

Dude is holding a Claymore 🤩

[slate gyro]

how can I hack time to fast forward to Tuesday

[modest verge]

It will be the main game of pirates/ship out that people can live and play in the world.

[granite oxide]

Most just use discord to chat while in game

[abstract aspen]

yes :D

[shy vine]

Contact your local Paradox Rep

[hot plover]

In before people get Teamspeak plugins to work like TFAR/Acre for arma 3 lmao

[abstract aspen]

4 is the max recommended tho! so balancing aims towards 1-4 people. it might be a bit unbalanced for more than 4. but still possible

[slate gyro]

(Gets put on hold for 5 days)

[rancid sierra]

The Rum Skip can push you forward a few hours at a time. But any more than that and the doctors start looking at you with intent.

[shy vine]

It's terraria/valheim rules. you have character saves and world saves. Characters can travel freely between world saves bringing everything in their inventory as well as their summonable boats. At least that's what I could do in the demo

[blazing tangle]

hi! sorry if this has been asked before but is the 4:00 time is that am or pm for new york time?

[modest verge]

0400 is AM

1600 is 4 PM

[blazing tangle]

oh gotcha! thank you

[brittle tulip]

@fast orchid This was you building wasent it XD

[granite oxide]

NOOOOO HAHAHA

[abstract aspen]

that was basically a dev build iirc

[fast orchid]

Lmao I wish. That was 2 devs building over the course of a week

[granite oxide]

was 2 dev's and 100 hour build time.

[brittle tulip]

dangggggggg, impressive as heck

[tiny bramble]

Perfect, thank you!

[tawny silo]

100 hours???

[tiny bramble]

Those devs got crazy building skills

[hazy dragon]

does anyone knows how many players a dedicated server is going to be able to hold?

[tiny bramble]

Think they said 1-8? But 4 for stable gameplay

[hazy dragon]

oh damn i need like 12 lmAO

[tulip iron]

What are you going to host it on?

[soft badge]

Check out the #1476333974740664543 , some amazing builders in there.

[azure gorge]

Does anyone know if we will be able to host our dedicated server and is this release just for PC?

[hazy dragon]

not sure tbh depends on how many players they give me access to

[granite oxide]

yes and yes

[tulip iron]

It all depends on what you can host not what they let you have

[abstract aspen]

8 is max

[tulip iron]

You would need a crazy machine to host 8

[valid abyss]

I'll be building my square box house as I do with every game I play. lol

[undone cove]

Plz We need a discount on the game's launch 🙂

[abstract aspen]

nah it's 30 bucks, definitely worth every penny

[undone cove]

Not for me, I'm from Brazil.

[modest verge]

I paid $70 for Crimson Desert (well 80 cuz I then went and upgraded), this game is only $30. I know it might be bad for regional pricing. But this game is 100% worth $30. Development isn't free 🙂

[azure gorge]

That Tri - I thing i watched today, are they something for indie developers? Only because most of the games looked indie like..

[undone cove]

The 40$ What else will come with it besides the game?

[tulip iron]

25000 euro?

[modest verge]

I think Triple-I = III = a play on AAA for indies only

[granite oxide]

Early Access is on 14th with about 95% overall more content than the Demo had. Explorable area of Archipelago is considerably larger with many more islands than demo. Priced at $29.99 for base game and $39.99 for support Edition with the Shanties Soundtrack,Wallpapers, etc..

On Content – See Yar_Master’s post here #💬│windrose-chat message

Dedicated Servers will be available at launch. See Benji’s response to Player numbers here #💬│windrose-chat message

Ships can be named up to 20 characters and some basic customization.

Demo ends on Early Access, - Characters, items and buildings from demo will not transfer to the Early Access, - different client, different game builds.

[undone cove]

25,

[modest verge]

$40 is extra support you get the soundtrack and some extra wallpapers

[granite oxide]

#💬│windrose-chat message

[modest verge]

Ya. The announcement says some extra wallpapers too, though.

[still rose]

Hold on, does it mean that you dont get the shanty in game unless you get the 39.99 version?

[valid abyss]

The Joy of knowing that you are supporting a great team of Devs.

[granite oxide]

ya and could be something else - I was just linking how many shanties there were lol

[fast orchid]

No

[undone cove]

I intend to buy the support but it's too expensive for where I live.

[abstract aspen]

no. shanties ingame are ingame. those are like extra to have all the shanties and ingame music and trailer songs as mp3 lol (like an album)

[modest verge]

Still gonna start the shanty list with Wellerman, and then go into OST, then probably into AC Blackflag

[brisk lynx]

You love your macros. Wise man. 👍

[long relic]

$30.00 is a valid price for this game, but it may mean I won't get to play until like... next month 🙁

[granite oxide]

Solves a lot of questions lol

[undone cove]

So who played demo will need to start again, save will got deleted

[tulip iron]

Prob means desktop wallpapers not in game

[hot plover]

And I'm assuming the in game shanties won't have backing instruments cause it's literally your crew singing. Vs the OST which will

[soft badge]

OK me hearties, off to go get ready for that work thing. Stay awesome, Crew!!

[still rose]

ok lol thank God... I mean, I was already planning to get the supporter package, guess the way I was reading it I thought you ONLY get them in game that way... crisis averted

[granite oxide]

correct

[abstract aspen]

naaah don't worry. they wouldn't go down that route lol

[granite oxide]

No you get these in the supporter pack #💬│windrose-chat message
The ones mentioned here

[still rose]

these day you never know, but happy to be wrong

[abstract aspen]

savegame won't carry over. it's a completely different build

[undone cove]

Yeap, that's normal

Will be a new game anyway

[stone iris]

I shall buy the support edition because yes ...

[green wigeon]

this aint valhei.

[abstract aspen]

exactly..ea is like a different game, so much more to do and see

[valid abyss]

I'm getting the support package as it is worth every penny

[stone iris]

I just hope I can have Royal Navy cosmetics v.v

[still rose]

I really havent been this hyped for a game since I played Valheim tbh

[modest verge]

Saaaame. All the good survival crafts get all my money. Though most were just once price for the game, I did get every single bundle V Rising provided.

[valid abyss]

Same here, most games that I have bought lately have not been worth the money

[brisk lynx]

Yeah. Vikings are cool but Pirates have cannons and muskets!

[undone cove]

Let's see how it goes on launch day, I'm hoping for a discount 🙂

[timber badge]

basically, Vikings became pirates

[still rose]

we can have both lol. I wish Valheim would bring a little Windrose into sailing

[timber badge]

viking + ship(not a longboat) = pirate

[north marsh]

Nah, I'll just give them some cash, let them make a great game

[modest verge]

Won't be a random discount. Think we just came off like 2 major sales events back to back. Unless there's another upcoming that I'm not thinking of.

[abstract aspen]

valheim needs a lot of qol imo

[brazen briar]

question about the soundtrack, will it include the current versions and the less perfect versions?

[still rose]

I been waiting for a much needed inv management solution for ever in Valheim

[undone cove]

I wanted to as well, but where I live, with the income I receive, it's very difficult.

[still rose]

a dude can dream

[hot plover]

It's alot better than it was but... Man you are so right.

So far what I've seen from windrose here the only QOL I'd like is a one-click hold to mine/chop wood because having to spam click feels bad for carpal

[valid abyss]

I'm hoping to make some good scurvy ships mates playing this, as I only have one friend that likes pirate games lol

[still rose]

Really I cant find too much problems with Windrose QOL. building, storage, its pretty well done

[hot plover]

Yeah same in particular storage. The way this game handles storage is just so much yes.

[still rose]

when I first realized I was pulling items out of my chests while building, I had to just smile

[hot plover]

Also building off the bat is not a pain and the snapping makes sense. It's not painful like other games were on early a or even.... Currently in their full builds.

[modest verge]

The only thing I didn't like in the demo was that the quests auto lit up every spot to go to, and really killed exploration as there wasn't much outside of those pointer to look at. I'm told you can turn that off in settings now (or maybe I missed it if it was in demo too)

[brazen briar]

i have trauma from holding F on palworld

[hot plover]

GOD SAME. LIKE ON DEMO. THE DEVS NAILED THIS ON DEMO ALREADY? the only other game to do this on release socfar was Hytale.

[clear copper]

Is there new building tools / options in EA?

[hot plover]

(hi devs if you're reading this you're hella for this)

[abstract aspen]

games always strive to be realistic and forget sometimes being fun is more important and something silly like magic chests are great qol

[brisk lynx]

A pirate could sail a longboat retrofitted with some cannons but you would need a time machine to bring a viking to the 18th century to sail it.

[valid abyss]

Same here, it might not be realistic, but it makes a game a lot more fun

[still rose]

And am i misreading it, but will you be able to hire or assign characters to collect items?

[stone igloo]

you can craft from storage in valheim too, you toggle it in the chest itself i believe

its a newer QoL thing

[still rose]

you need it in your inv in val

[hot plover]

Vague alt history where pirates came across an old Viking ship in a cove/sea cavern and retrofitted it

[granite oxide]

There are crew that you can hire for some benefits, but not for gathering per say.

[still rose]

ah ok

[shy vine]

Also love the bubble wrap in your profile. 10/10 would click for 15 seconds again

[granite oxide]

Good benefits 🙂

[abstract aspen]

as it currently is, you can get something to hire them to collect stuff for you, like send them away for a certain amount of time. looks like a little market stall

[still rose]

i mean would have been nice, "you there, fetch me more wood, and you... copper"

[stone igloo]

while that would be nice I feel that would trivialize most of the gameplay

[still rose]

i agree, it would defeat the purpose of the grind

[hot plover]

Yeah. Somewhat

[still rose]

maybe later game

[hot plover]

The only game I've seen that does this somewhat well is a game I can't mention by name but... The NPC companions will occasionally collect items when you send them out. Based on a random drop table and it's a minimal amount as kinda a nice bonus but not a large amount

[abstract aspen]

yeah. glad one doesn't need to use it. it's all easily doable without it :)

you do have to progress a little bit to unlock the stuff you can send them off to get for you. so you will always still have to get it yourself first

[hot plover]

Almost not enough to make it with it but.

I have faith in these devs to nail it if they do it here

[jade raptor]

A game Necesse does this. Necesse has my favorite villager management mechanics

[modest verge]

Necesse is cool.

[jade raptor]

Necesse you can put filters on your chests to tell it what’s allowed to be in it. If you put an item in a chest it doesn’t belong in your villagers will move it to where it belongs

[hot plover]

Ohhh

[modest verge]

That being said... there is sooo much control you have over your settlement and workers in Necesse it can be quite intimidating

[jade raptor]

There is a bit of setup but when you get it done I love watching my citizens do their chores and move stuff around. Stardew graphics are awesome too

[limpid glade]

does anyone know if new trees will grow where they have been cut down in the early access?

[granite oxide]

no

You can farm other servers if you dont want to clear your home server.

[north marsh]

There are no trees in Bah Sing Se

[still rose]

But you will be able to grow your own trees no?

[abstract aspen]

trees never have and will never regrow. however you can plant seeds you get from trees you cut down.

[still rose]

I mean I have loads of seeds from the demo that are useless

[meager field]

tuesday bout to be lit

[hot plover]

Honestly I love this because it allows for much easier teraforming/building.

I hate other games that have natural tree generation because... Oh suddenly I have to cut down a tree that grew in the middle of my base causing damage to the structures I built

[meager field]

i'm gonna throw up from excitement

[modest verge]

Oh, damn I full hallucinated that trees around my prefab came back, lol. Probably chopped so few didn't really notice. But will keep that in mind when choosing permanent settlement on release.

[hot plover]

Man I am so excited now that I know I'll be able to play it for like 8 hours before I have to sleep before work. The 1am release would normally suck but I work early nights at a hospital so yesssss.

[idle zealot]

Hey guys there’s a cool new game coming out called Windrose you guys should check it out

[still rose]

But has anyone asked, did they fix the issue with exploding boats?

[abstract aspen]

yesss unless it's the kind of "only the stump regrows". But I'd rather just have the seeds and ability to plant them myself if needed

[brisk lynx]

Conan Exiles was bad about that. Trees and stuff popping up in the middle of your base at times.

[meager field]

time to call off work due to a sudden illness

[hot plover]

Yeah.

[hot plover]

Boats spawning near to a dock and going boom

[still rose]

this

[hot plover]

There's a video in feedback somewhere

[north marsh]

Haha I don't think so, just gotta be more careful where you park lol

[still rose]

lol first time i was like "Im being attacked by Black Beard!"

[brisk lynx]

Yeah it is an issue but I doubt its something they've worked out yet.

[abstract aspen]

I think it SHOULD be fixed haha

[hot plover]

No that was the issue. It was on spawning them or loading the game after they were perfectly parked

[still rose]

hopefully they have a way to dock your boat better

[north marsh]

Yeah, that's what I mean. You gotta keep them offshore

[tiny bramble]

Glad you like!

[brisk lynx]

The mechanic is in game already. Just like when you board an enemy ship and it takes no damage from the enemy ship. You ship should no take damage from your dock. Need to be able to tie your ship of to docks as well as enemy ships.

[meager field]

Did they say how much the game will be?

[brisk lynx]

Noone wants to build a dock just to keep their ship anchored out at sea

[still rose]

exactly

[brisk lynx]

30 for regular, 40 for supporter

[granite oxide]

Early Access is on 14th with about 95% overall more content than the Demo had. Explorable area of Archipelago is considerably larger with many more islands than demo. Priced at $29.99 for base game and $39.99 for support Edition with the Shanties Soundtrack,Wallpapers, etc..

On Content – See Yar_Master’s post here #💬│windrose-chat message

Dedicated Servers will be available at launch. See Benji’s response to Player numbers here #💬│windrose-chat message

Ships can be named up to 20 characters and some basic customization.

Demo ends on Early Access, - Characters, items and buildings from demo will not transfer to the Early Access, - different client, different game builds.

[abstract aspen]

anchor and dock would be amazing, yeah

[hot plover]

If not it's understandable. It's a weird one that other games have difficulty with. We have a boat in the middle of our Valheim base... literally on a roof, because the server died and when we relogged back in the server thought the boat was on land... And then didn't know what to do so it turned it into a kerbal space program launch before landing on the roof of someone's house.

[north marsh]

That's true, I already posted SCs of the exploding ships and a suggestion in the suggestions about it

[clear copper]

valet parking - coming to a dock near you soon!

[meager field]

omgggg I need an EA clan ♥

[brisk lynx]

Same. Many people have. I'm sure they're trying to come up with a fix.

[abstract aspen]

that reminds me of horses in games .. they're always the most broken thing haha. ships are just horses for the water

[still rose]

The only positive of the boat issue is, even though there is no actual damage to the boat or the structure, sometimes its still leaves some building matts behind lol

[hot plover]

Red Dead Redemption two with its often confusing a horse and suddenly the horse acts like a crow and is flying...

[clear copper]

*Sea Horses 😂

[hot plover]

https://tenor.com/view/rarity-sea-pony-mlp-my-little-pony-fish-tail-gif-17433855

-# (I regret nothing)

[abstract aspen]

I love those so much lol. I can't keep the horses alive. it's always the most random stuff too

[hot plover]

Shoo be doo. Shoo shoo be doo.

[blissful dirge]

i feel like this announcement simultaneously made and ruined my life XD

[hot plover]

You mean FFXIV didn't already do that? I see that PFP 👀

[wicked comet]

What about horses

[blissful dirge]

LMAO i haven't played in so long at this point lol. i badly need to change my pfp tbh with you

[wicked comet]

Oh

My question is where's the rum gone

[hot plover]

It's all good. I haven't played since dawntrail first came out. I played since legacy through to endgame heavensward

[calm swift]

Why no pre orders

I am so stoked tho. Tuesday needs to hurry.

[hot plover]

Because steam doesn't allow pre orders on early access games usually

Except in rare cases.

[gentle light]

4/14? That's amazing!! 10/10 music choice in the trailer as always.

[blissful dirge]

i really really really cannot wait until tuesday. why do i have to work T_T

[hot plover]

This is to prevent unscrupulous devs from taking advantage of the EA system. Unfortunately

[abstract aspen]

banger after banger

[modest verge]

I won't even be done with Crimson Desert before tues... wonder if i should take a break. Play immediately. Wait and see if the friend group will actually play something all together again.

[gentle light]

My friend and I were just talking about that. CD is a HUGE game.

[calm swift]

I hope the devs dont mess this game up though. Hope they actually listen, as the market is quite literally in there hands at the moment. Battlefield 6 is a prime example of this

Its a solid game, fully solid. Was geniunely impressed when I played the demo

[gentle light]

The EA was, extremely good. And there seems to be a lot more non-AAA studios listening to feedback. Crimson Desert has made actual gameplay changes in just a few weeks based on feedback.

[shadow moss]

Hey when early access comes on on the 14th will we have to redo our base?

[random oxide]

any word on what the cost is gonna be?

[blissful dirge]

i've heard it's totally seperate

[gentle light]

I'd estimate $40, seems reasonable for an EA game. No actual announcement though

[toxic escarp]

what biomes are gonna be in full release?

[blissful dirge]

29.99 USD

[brisk lynx]

nothing carries over from the demo whole new game

[calm swift]

$29.99 and $39.99 for the big edition

[abstract aspen]

trust me. they ARE listening. It's rare these days and I definitely wouldn't be here otherwise haha. It's great devs and community

[calm swift]

GOOD

That gives me hope hahaa

[abstract aspen]

jungle, foothills and swamp :) for ea

oh full release Ashlands as well

[random oxide]

Ty thats reasonable for sure .. just wish it was a weekend release lol .. I will end up working a 14 hour day that day for sure lol

[toxic escarp]

any idea how many more are coming?

[blissful dirge]

seriously though, why release on a Tuesday T_T

[toxic escarp]

release this friday

[blissful dirge]

lemme tell you, if they gotta send someone home early that day at my work, i'm literally throwing myself at the opportunity.

[brisk lynx]

release early in the week that way there is time to address any issues before the weekend

[abstract aspen]

sadly not right now. I can see there maybe being one more. but in the end it's entirely up to the devs to decide!

[blissful dirge]

i guess that's valid evn if it makes me wanna cry T_T

[exotic obsidian]

hell yeah drops in 4 days

[brisk lynx]

It's ok. Let it out.

[blissful dirge]

and the week after that i start my new schedule that leaves me probably even less time to playyyyyyyy T_T (good opportunity for my career tho :P)

[fierce ridge]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! in 5 days!?? Soulmask just launched into 1.0!! I need to give up sleeping.

[exotic obsidian]

i wonder if you can see servers hosting for it rn

[flint grotto]

Do we know how much it's going to cost

[calm swift]

$29.99 and $39.99 for the big edition

[brisk lynx]

I imagine the first friday after a successful EA launch the devs are going to be having a well deserved celebration.

[open dock]

when is ps5 console release

[green wigeon]

time for chicken drumsticks and weed

[toxic escarp]

trust

15 new biomes

[blissful dirge]

lmao they need a bot for every time someone asks abou the cost XD

(it was me earlier, so i can't talk, but it's just funny)

[brisk lynx]

Swabien isn't on with his macros right now lol

[stone igloo]

should just put a keyword into the bot so it auto posts a message

[calm swift]

They can also add a stickied message

[open dock]

whats gonna be the difference in the two

[calm swift]

Idk that far into it

[abstract aspen]

sadly many people don't look at those :(

[stone igloo]

I can't blame them because you do have to click into the article and actually read, but still

[calm swift]

I think like some sound track stuff and more

[exotic obsidian]

i work that day but have the following day off so i can get home from work and just play all night, hype

[abstract aspen]

one is standard the other is support package. game+wallpapers+entire soundtrack

[stone iris]

Does this mean that we can have Royal Navy cosmetics? Cause I been saying it for a while now in general xD hoping and praying we get it .... It was one of the main reasons I kept playing atlas, cause of the naval uniforms xD

[blissful dirge]

that's the start of my entire 5 day week T_T

[stone igloo]

very un-pirate thing to want....

[open dock]

do you know when the release on ps5

[stone igloo]

I dunno if console ports are in their road map yet

[brisk lynx]

Listening doesn't mean they're going to use every idea. But there is still time. Who knows?

[zenith portal]

I have 2 days off after the day it comes out

[stone iris]

You do know not all pirates just appeared from thin air right??? Some was originally part of the navy and was branded a traitor to the kings crown, they kept their uniforms as a sign of rebellion and altered them to suit their own needs....

[abstract aspen]

I can see them adding cosmetics further down the line. rn I don't remember them saying anything about it yet but it is for sure known since something like a transmog system/ outfits and such are some of the most wanted things.

they're just having other priorities atm ofc

[stone igloo]

perhaps but not really sure that fits the storyline the demo seemed to set up

[timber badge]

I'm retired I have ∞ days off WOOOO

[stone igloo]

retired damn how old are you

[timber badge]

43

[stone igloo]

military?

[blissful dirge]

jealous x∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞

[timber badge]

they call that a "win"

[zenith portal]

My ship is my work

[abstract aspen]

if all else fails, mods are always a good plan B

[timber badge]

just took the ASFAB and then backed out when i scored "too high" to not be put on a sub as a nuke

[stone igloo]

lol, they hunt potential nukes heavy as recruiters

looks real good on their performance record

[timber badge]

btw, class, war is the time to make stock investments

[stone igloo]

they tried to do the same to me when I scored an 82, wanted me to try and take it again to apply for nuke

[stone iris]

I know what the ASVAB is but wtf is an ASFAB?

[timber badge]

yeah i got a 98, the recruiter said it was the highest in his office

a typeo

[stone igloo]

I mean yeah, thats basically near perfect score

[fallen creek]

i was wondering i read you have to play the demo get the spyglass do i have to finish the demo or just play it at all?

[stone igloo]

its the individual scores that are more important ofc

I assume the game just detects if you have playtime in the demo

[brisk lynx]

Why wouldn't you finish it?

[austere night]

Good question... there is plenty of time before the EA

😁

[stone igloo]

could always talk to a dev or something if you have issues redeeming it on playing early access

[spare bramble]

Watching Black Sails again 🏴‍☠️ Getting ready for Early Release 🏝️

[brisk lynx]

Good way to pass the time until Tuesday

[spare bramble]

Amen 🙏🏽 🏴‍☠️ Great series

[stone igloo]

you guys just have to wait an extended weekend I'm sure it will be fine

[fallen creek]

i havent gotten around to it yet

[brisk lynx]

You have until Tuesday bro. If you have the time I would put it to good use and enjoy the rest of that demo.

[north marsh]

I'm gonna use the Rum skip tech

[stone igloo]

it doesnt take long in the demo to get the message box for finishing it, you just need to sink the specific ketch after you get and equip your own

[stone igloo]

https://tenor.com/view/metal-gear-solid-metal-gear-time-skip-time-phantom-cigar-gif-6933960479127071462

[brisk lynx]

Not much historical accuracy but damn good story.

[swift badger]

What is the spyglass?

[brisk lynx]

Its a bonus item for anyone who played the demo

[stone igloo]

probably an alternative skin for it, I'm sure everyone will get a basic one lol

[swift badger]

Oh I beat the ship at the end. Maybe I didn't see it XD. It was like a 7 hour binge so my memory is fuzzy

[stone igloo]

kind of like how valheim has the special drink horns

[vapid arch]

Why there's no direct answer from any officials about this question

[brisk lynx]

You wouldn't have received it yet. We are supposed to get in when EA launches

[bitter apex]

any idea on the price of the game?

[swift badger]

Ah that makes way more sense thank you

[stone igloo]

they probably didnt see the question earlier for that one about AI

[brisk lynx]

$30 for regular, $40 for supporter

[gritty kernel]

Saw this post online... This all realling coming with the EA on the 14th?

[stone igloo]

pretty much yeah

[gritty kernel]

... Man, devs been cooking

That was insanely fast from what people expected

[stone igloo]

they've had playtests occasionally that some people in here, especially the mods, have taken part in

[flint crown]

will we ever have this funny thing

[stone igloo]

I hope so lmao

[flint crown]

did pirates ever use blunderbusses?

[wide kelp]

I hope they do explore adding more gameplay systems over just adding content that feels like doing the same game loop as always. I usually get disappointed by new biomes and such when it's just more of the same.

[brisk lynx]

Yes they were used a lot during that time period Very popular weapon at the time and place

[stone igloo]

not sure if we know for certain historically if pirates ever did use them, but it wouldn't be out of place for the time

[blissful dirge]

apparantly they did duriing the 18th century golden age of piracy.

[gritty kernel]

Yeah, need to see something like what the Enshrouded team is doing. They just keep giving more and more. Big combat update coming soon

[stone igloo]

also helps that they are super easy to load that pretty much anyone can use one with 0 knowledge and inflict huge damage on crowds

point trumpet end at threat, no more threat

[flint crown]

so POTC was right i remember one scene where a guy with dwarfism got recoiled so hard he went back to his hiding spot

[brisk lynx]

Yeah thats what make them so valuable. Balls were in short supply sometimes. You could load a blunderbuss with whatever you had laying around

[raw escarp]

I’m curious if there is going to be an ability for other players to act as a gun crew? I’m not sure if that’s in the demo or not.

[stone igloo]

as long as it can be blasted as a projectile it would work

[brisk lynx]

yes

[wide kelp]

can't wait to see these 30 islands and 90 hand crafted PoIs, and the other 2 ships, and the faction quests and reputation systems... it all sounds amazing in my imagination

[stone igloo]

its not in the demo but the trailer that dropped today showed someone individually aiming a cannon

[raw escarp]

Thank you! I saw that and I wasn’t 100% sure but that makes me very happy

[stone igloo]

so you could 100% slap everyone on a ketch or something and treat it like SoT

[raw escarp]

Love myself some SoT but I also love the beauty of crafting this game offers and it’s bloody gorgeous

[brisk lynx]

The flipside is though that your NPC crew will have special bonuses or stats that are applied. If you have other players maning the cannons you wont get the NPC bonuses.

[blissful dirge]

i need a dedicated sticker for anti-PVP....

[stone igloo]

I wouldn't be against PvP, especially if it doesnt become the main focus like most survival crafting games seem to do

[plain pivot]

what will be included in the Ea ?

[raw escarp]

Just form a guild that hunts pvp characters 😅

[stone igloo]

after all it is the age of piracy, it would make plenty of sense to have PvP be a thing

[fierce ridge]

all I hope they add is a toggle for player damage

[fierce ridge]

except pirates almost never attacked other pirates...no profit in it

[brisk lynx]

One of the mods mentioned earlier that we should have fistfights in bars. That I could enjoy if there was no deaths or lost items

[abstract aspen]

A LOT. way too much to list it all. More biomes, enemies, weapons, ships, qol and much much more

[blissful dirge]

I'm so against pvp it's not even funny because every game that adds it gets a swampload of asslords that think they should be entitled to killing other players because taht's the only fun way to play games.

[raw escarp]

Can’t wait!

[stone igloo]

the issue is a lot of the games in this genre add it then they constantly adjust the weapons and equipment to balance around fighting other players and completely forget that that same gear is needed for PvE too

[flint crown]

-removed the flying dutchman

herobrine joke

[fierce ridge]

and there are bajillions of pvp pirate games and no good pve pirate games

[raw escarp]

Yeah that’s a good point

[blissful dirge]

yeah so i actually think games like this can just... not do pvp. there's gotta be a reason the devs switch that way (it's probably money) once they add it, and i just really.. really don't want that to happen to this game.

[stone igloo]

people should make more cool ninja games, ive become desperate and am playing tenchu wrath of heaven

[fierce ridge]

World of Sea Battle is a good example of a PvPvE pirate game that is steadily shifting more and more towards forcing people to PvP

[blissful dirge]

i just wanna run around acting like a pirate, not dealing with every asshate with a superiority comple thinking it's so cool they get to go pirate from other people and get their real tiem reactions hehehehehehehehehe (a little unhinged about the amount of pvp games i've had to wade through trying to find good co-op games to play with my partner, sorry)

[fierce ridge]

this times 1000

[nocturne vessel]

One thing do we know a price

[blissful dirge]

i JUST want untainted co-op. i just want to cooperate with people to do cool things. it's all i want in this stupid world where everything is how fast you can annoy other people.

[stone igloo]

the main thing i want is that the more special weapon variants take more of an adventure to discover, I assume it was only that easy in the demo to let you try them out

[blissful dirge]

29.99 USD regular, 39.99 deluxe.

[blissful dirge]

i seem to remember a summary somewhere stating they were working on that.

[stone igloo]

like that questline where you get musket parts as part of a faction is cool

[abstract aspen]

Games that are pvpve are always having issues with balancing and players exploiting lower level ones. Imo it's never really a good idea to mix pvp with pve. I enjoy both of those but they shouldn't be combined, way too many balancing issues that makes either pve or the pvp players suffer.

[stone igloo]

maybe doesnt have to be that for every special weapon, but stuff like that is fun rather than just finding something in a random tower

[fierce ridge]

and the community tends to become embattled

it got really ugly in Sea Battle with the last patch...the PvPers calling the PvEers "whiney babies" and well...other things...and back and forth etc.

[unique dagger]

Hello! I'm one of the devs for AMP by CubeCoders and would really appreciate being involved in day one release info so we can get it into the software for home hosters. Please let me know how to best reach out.

[blissful dirge]

yo ureally only need to take one look at arc raiders to see how pvpve goes...

[lament flower]

lol must have missed the whole dune awakening drama then 😛

[fierce ridge]

I saw enough to know I didn't want to get anywhere near it

[stone igloo]

in all fairness thats extraction shooters as a whole, people were being ridiculous thinking that you should be nice to other raiders

[flint crown]

i wonder if the game can handle 1st rate ships

[twin snow]

how much HD space is needed for EA?

[blissful dirge]

i... beg your pardon?

[crisp copper]

A nice rum vodka ready for Tuesday and I'm wearing only a pirate hat. MMMMK

[fierce ridge]

possibly, but I imagine that would be a long way off...frigates would be fine by me

[stone igloo]

its an extraction shooter, you are trying to get the best loot and get out, your mission isnt to befriend others, its pretty cutthroat to say that I know but thats how those games are meant to be played

[flint crown]

i saw this it was a year ago i wonder if its in EA soon

[stone igloo]

avoid other players if you can, fight if it comes to it

[blissful dirge]

except the devs themselves designed the whole stupid thing to be nearly impossible without cooperating with the rest of the players on the server. and actually the best experiences i ever had were cooperative in that game, it's just that it doesn't happen that often.

[flint crown]

also does this game have toggleable friendly fire? i have never played with somebody

[abstract aspen]

it's not in early access YET as far as i know. it should be coming in ea though (as in "later down the line")

[fierce ridge]

turns my ketch around and runs

[brisk lynx]

Dont think so. That is closer to a man 0 war. We will have Ketch, Brig and Frigate

[lament flower]

pvp people were complaining because " game loop blah blah"
pve people complained " content was gate kept behind pvp, when advertised as pvp and PVE for all

im sitting here like.. PVE players wanna shoot and kill and not be merc'd by people... pvp wants to merc people beyond their decision

[fierce ridge]

yep...the goals are such that you can't really have both in the same game...at least not that I've seen work

[blissful dirge]

it's more accurate to say that PVEers want to go explore cool maps and find cool stuff, and PVPers wanna make people big mad.

[stone igloo]

if you have a game loop that is about getting the best loot you can, people are naturally going to want to screw over others to get the best loot

[blissful dirge]

like the number of people i saw gleefully runnign around giggling at other peoples dismay was.... really sad.

[fierce ridge]

(they want to try to make other people as unhappy as they are) runs and hides

[stone igloo]

its just human nature

[dusty shore]

Heyo!

Any word on whether the devs have fixed the issue of not being able to unbind camera turning from the left and right arrow keys?

I realize that people who are able to use WASD don't care about people who can't... but we exist lol.

The game is great except for the fact that the camera looks like you drank a handle of bourbon if you try to strafe using the arrow keys and turn the camera with the mouse at the same time...

I have searched for a config file but I don't see one.

ALL we need is the option to unbind those keys please!

Thx...

[blissful dirge]

if you think that's human nature, and not a curated thought process, then... i think we're very different people.

[stone igloo]

its just something bound to happen, people get greedy

[lament flower]

best way to fix this, " choose at character creation pvp or pve" .. (puts pve players in a passive state unharmed from other players) , pvp lets you be harmed and harm other players

[blissful dirge]

because literally every pvper i read comments from disliked the idea of seperating pvp players from pve players because they wanted to torment the little weakling baby pacifier suckers

[stone igloo]

I mean i dont like the idea of tormenting people who can barely fight back

[blissful dirge]

and i dont want to have to fight back

i want to go explore cool places and cooperate with other people who wanna do that too

[stone igloo]

but certain genres of game you are sort of signing up for that as a potential thing to happen

[blissful dirge]

but WHY can't we make a new standard? or a deviation?

[fierce ridge]

I'll stay out of this discussion as I'm very heavily biased and will get in trouble >.<

[blissful dirge]

why not a pve extraction shooter?

or at least with that option, arc raiders prove there's a place for it, even if they've not delivered on it.

[stone igloo]

because the issue with that is a lot of the draw of getting the best loot you can is kind of toned down when there is little threat to your extraction

[blissful dirge]

little threat, jesus, up the threat of the enemies then, it's not that complicated. i have trouble enough avoiding the leapers, let alone the camping damp toilet paper dude. and you can instance loot, it's literally an option.

[stone igloo]

arguably you could just make stronger AI threats, but thats tricky to balance too

[blissful dirge]

it's not that hard.

[lament flower]

https://tenor.com/view/pirate-gif-4927684315502143813

[timber badge]

29.99 and 39.99 for regular, and supporter edition

[blissful dirge]

but i am skirting the edges of getting.... mean. so i'm gonna politely back away from this conversation and go find some advil.

[stone igloo]

my thing is if you want it to be PvE, you might as well just have it be you are put in your own instance and just sent out, but i still feel it would get boring fast as you naturally acclimate to the AI

[blissful dirge]

ok but literally why

[stone igloo]

like playing dark souls on future playthroughs

[blissful dirge]

why is the idea of cooperating with people so... foreign?

[stone igloo]

you get better to the point the threat is practically nothing

I just dont like extraction shooters at all personally, but thats how I feel about them

[blissful dirge]

i just really wish we'd enter an era of cooperative in depth games.

[lament flower]

mario, kirby, zelda.. no pvp.. fun games, no game loop.. but that was fine

[ancient charm]

now that a date is announced it feels even more like an agonizing hell wait.

[blissful dirge]

instead of.... surface level puzzle solvers, dusting their hands off and going "welp, that's enough cooperation from these idiots, lets' get them back to fighting each other."

[fierce ridge]

Sometimes it's best to back away and take a breather, and/or agree to disagree. 💜

[stone igloo]

right, but I'm talking about a genre of game that by definition has to have a game loop

[knotty tangle]

anyone have a guess at what the price is gunna be ?

[ancient charm]

though i did expect the game to release april 20th, and it's sooner on the 14th

[stone igloo]

30 USD for default, 40 if you want the soundtrack and wallpapers

[lament flower]

no game by difinitive nature NEEDS a game loop

[blissful dirge]

29.99 and 39.99 for regular, and supporter edition

[lament flower]

only that one desires it

[fierce ridge]

I have only a weekend to play Soulmask 1.0 before Windrose threatens to tear me away from it! ahhhhh!

[stone igloo]

extraction shooters do because whats the point otherwise

[ancient charm]

rogue lites usually have a game loop, there is also a game called loop hero...

[stone igloo]

you get all the loot for what?

[timber badge]

yes, games need to bring back the old "alignment" and "honor" systems, like a karma tracker. with green,grey, and red names

[ancient charm]

wow i proved ddrx wrong, with 1 game title

[blissful dirge]

yo ucould argue there's literally no point to any game at all because you get to a point where nothing matters anymore because you've done it all.

[blissful dirge]

that could be interesting.

[stone igloo]

right but extraction shooters need to have replayability

[timber badge]

Try to be a pacafist in Rust. still havn't won that one

[lament flower]

your opinion, is that it requires a game loop, and that by creative nature of whomever creates it .. NEEDS to make it have one

[queen pulsar]

whats this game about @fierce ridge

[stone igloo]

the closest you will get to a PvE extraction shooter is Into the Radius VR, which i guess is technically extraction shooter on the surface level but has more going on

[blissful dirge]

ok, i'm dipping, love you guys. but my head actually is starting to throb ❤️ stay safe, have fun, remember we're all literal people

[ancient charm]

i realized i dont like replayable or long games, i never finish them, and they make it hard to get a high completion rate on steam... 😕

Gnight

[ancient charm]

i like one and done games

[queen pulsar]

I hope this game makes a bounty system with different factions at the central hub where other ships may attack on sight prob something for 1.0 tho

[ancient charm]

replaying a game seems like being locked into a sisyphean nightmare

[small parrot]

oml i LOVE into the radius

[stone igloo]

I feel it just depends on the genre, some genres lend more to replayability than others

[lament flower]

want an extraction shooter.. thats PVE? and has a high sucess rate? (based on the game play, not the content of the entire series.. )

[brisk lynx]

There is definitely different factions. I don't know about bounties though. Could be interesting later maybe.

[ancient charm]

i dont like the replayability of bg3 for example, i didnt even beat the game once, got bored in act 3...

[lament flower]

payday 2.

[oak bear]

Best thing I could see when I got back home! Can't wait to set sail on the 14th!

[fierce ridge]

Soulmask? It's a survival/crafting/tribe management/exploration game that released in early access in 2024 and just launched 1.0 plus a huge free DLC today. Think Conan Exiles but so much more. One of my favorite games of all time.

[stone igloo]

I guess payday 2 technically counts?

you are going to a location and extracting with loot lol

not sure if thats the best way to describe the genre but I mean technically not wrong

[lament flower]

tell me what makes an extraction shooter?

[somber radish]

man, woke up, and remembered.... april 14th

[lament flower]

1. target
2. loot.
3. Point of leaving

[honest plover]

Shooting things .. then leaving ..

[ancient charm]

imagining that there are people who replay BG3 20 times and make different characters and choices each time, kind of makes me feel anxious. i always choose optimal character, and hero choices. and aim for full completion of everything first time around so i never have to touch the game again.

[timber badge]

also progress between runs

[lament flower]

ehh, not true

[queen pulsar]

IT actually looks really good but also looks a little like Windrose lol

[stone igloo]

which payday 2 does have, there is a prestige system and attachments you unlock over time, as well as the perk decks

[ancient charm]

devs should have announced april 14th on april 1st, and then went radio silent.

[lament flower]

so the whole "extraction shooters cant be pve, and be successful" .. point disproven

[stone igloo]

I never said they wouldn't be successful, just that it requires a different approach than what arc raiders is doing

[honest plover]

If I don't like something it can never be successful !

[lament flower]

its just an opinion . thats it. people associate "this game = what its "supposed to be" based on what developers market it to be

[ancient charm]

everyone has different expectations

[lament flower]

the discussion was.. no point in an extraction shooter.. without it being PVP (in rough translation)

[stone igloo]

no point in the modern interpretation at least of one

[fierce ridge]

well they're both survival crafter games but very very different genres

[stone igloo]

payday 2 came out before extraction shooters really became a thing

[fierce ridge]

and Soulmask leans very heavily into managing a whole tribe, and defending it

[ancient charm]

helldivers 2 is basically considered an extraction shooter though without pvp? i know some will argue it's not one... but that's somewhat subjective. every game borrows from other genres. and helldivers borrows from extraction shooters heavily.

[lament flower]

payday 2 came out, when people didnt base a game, off what it was being marketed by a team Paid to market to target individuals

they played it , they liked it or didnt like it. pvp/no pvp.. people enjoyed it

hell divers is absolutely an extraction shooter

[honest plover]

When you distill things down, any game designed with session/mission based play where you use projectile weapons could get defined as an extraction shooter...

[lament flower]

and any game with gun(s), could be a shooter... i mean isnt that was the "definition of the genre" is supposed to be for?

you make a horror movie.. with a bunch of comedians in it as the actors/actresses.. its more than likely getting labeled with "horror/comedy"

[honest plover]

that is what the projectile part covers .. but does the model used as the origin point of the projectile need to be a gun?

[lament flower]

nope, you can have a shooter be a bananna that has high projectile speed , with targeted precision
