[crisp copper]

Only wearing a pirate hat

[tawdry dawn]

YOU ALL JUST DROPPED THAT THE GAME COMES OUT NEXT TUESDAY

LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[fierce ridge]

Ack, they upped the recommended system requirements to a 3080??

I have a 4080 but my wife has a 4070

[honest plover]

min is 1080 TI .. soo .. should be fine

[fierce ridge]

The demo already runs very hot on my CPU. Ugh.

[honest plover]

a - you listed GPUs b - idk .. more cooling? 5 - unless you hit thermal shutdown, it really shouldnt matter much.

[native cave]

turn down the graphic

[tidal aspen]

there someone on steam forums complaining about game advertising as solo but apparently found a post saying it isn't. I think the post he claims is very old one though. Anyways.... yea think game can be played offline for early access?

[tawdry dawn]

good I was hoping to play this off my microwaves analog clock

[royal python]

https://tenor.com/view/family-guy-peter-griffin-gif-11918118382869439794

[honest plover]

Crosswinds was going to be an MMO .. Windrose is Single Player or Co-Op. .. not entirely sure if it will require an internet connection for singleplayer .. I doubt it but some devs do weird stuff

[royal python]

we got a price on it?

[honest plover]

$30 USD ... and all your waking moments

[tidal aspen]

yea there games that require connection even for solo probably due to how certain background things work idk

[hollow steppe]

WINDROSE HYPE. I forget chat, are we going to be able to do some type of server to play with more than 4 people in a world or something? or are we capped at 4??

[tidal aspen]

and some games kinda have the offline mode thing a bit weird where you gotta put steam in offline mode to use it

[honest plover]

It does list a Broadband internet connection in Min requirements which is the only reason I do question it, but idk

[tidal aspen]

yea better to get a clear answer then and have it updated on a FAQ

True offline mode = being able to still play game even if some stupid dump truck breaks the cables like mine did year ago lol

[honest plover]

would bve easy enough to test the Demo .. but that is just the Demo.

[graceful bolt]

Up to 8. And there's a dedicated server client as usual.

[hollow steppe]

Oh, so they changed it to up to 8 just at it's base? sheeesh

[small parrot]

ok so i know we're all hype for windrose but what do we think of far far west

yknow what i should probably ask this in #🎭│offtopic huh

[graceful bolt]

They did say that it could be a bit sketchy above 4 players. Probably need to be optimized still.

[queen pulsar]

idk why but i still wish it was MMO but just PVE only its nice to have lots of people running around with you

[north marsh]

I'd rather NPCs honestly

[graceful bolt]

Eh. MMOs aren't doing too well this past... 2 decades.

[queen pulsar]

its just nostalgia i want to play an MMO again the feeling used to be so good lmao

[graceful bolt]

[queen pulsar]

miss those days fr

[honest plover]

MMOs are risks .. cost too much to make .. too much to run.. Make the Players run the servers 🙂

[graceful bolt]

I know the feeling, I want to play some RTS...

[honest plover]

Windrose .. and a MMO Raph Koster is working on are really the only 2 games I am hyped for .. and I am worried about the MMO actually making it to release 🙁

[queen pulsar]

im not into sci fi

unfortunately

Im much more fantasy/historical personally

[honest plover]

See I dont care as much about the theme (of a game).. I will play just about anything if I like the actual gameplay systems.

[queen pulsar]

I read a lot and can never get into most sci fi things very rare for me lmao

[tidal aspen]

Reason I prefer offline/solo 0 ping

[honest plover]

Windrose makes me way to replay Rebel Galaxy ... Fire the Broadsides !!!!

[tidal aspen]

annnnnd i like to pause my games

[queen pulsar]

I just like MMOs so i dont feel alone if that makes sense lol

PVE MMO would have been nice

[north marsh]

Sick game!

[tidal aspen]

There been some MMOs I feel alone even sadly. Especially ones that like play like diablo where you adventure out everyone else dissappears except those in ur party

now that's what i mean by still feeling alone

[honest plover]

SW TOR .. Best Single player MMO I ever played 😛

[tidal aspen]

but yes, i can see open waters with 100s of ppl sailing around but that would be chaos trying to find NPC ship to attack

not to mention what if they all tried to park at one city

[queen pulsar]

i mean they had the logistics handled before they made the switch (I think)

im just happy its not a full PVP game now

[tidal aspen]

it generally easier to balance around 1 player or a few players vs 10000s

[honest plover]

I am still not sure how Massive the Crosswinds design was going to be. I felt like it was going the instanced direction

[tidal aspen]

not to mention stablity and dealing with servers breaking

over 90% of MMO games with servers have break on launch

[north marsh]

I personally love the direction they're taking

[queen pulsar]

I think for Windorse MMO they probably only planned 16 to 32 people servers anyway probably nothing crazy insane player count wise

[honest plover]

Yah I was really happy with the change of direction

[queen pulsar]

its better that they pivoted to PVE only

I just hope for a fleshed out faction system and enemy ships attacking you based on some honor system with their factions by 1.0 release. Thats my dream for this game.

[honest plover]

I think it could be fun to have an "Ark" like server system, but what I personally want is just a Single player game.

[tidal aspen]

with that comment...

Me: Yawn time for a new day, (opens door from my house to outside)
Enemy pirate ship: FIRE CANNONS
Me: being shot in face as my door opens

[north marsh]

The building system they have will carry hard for a lot of people, it's really easy to use and flexible

[tidal aspen]

I would build a legit fort and thicc walls if we had PvE attacks on bases

[north marsh]

I'm probably gonna build that stuff anyway lol

[tidal aspen]

then complain when half the walls are destroyed from a endgame raid lol (sure there could be systems in place to quickly rebuild destroyed stuff in that case)

[honest plover]

I always want to build pretty things .. then the Lazy sets in... Box it is !

[north marsh]

That's exactly what I played like in Avorion lol

[honest plover]

I cant even be bothered to download models/designs in Avorion 😛

[north marsh]

Everything I built was from scratch, I had a couple cool designs but it was nothing compared to what was on the Workshop

[honest plover]

I will say my Fav "building" in any game was StarBase ships... too bad that was the only good thing about the game.

[tidal aspen]

i can't think of a favorite building system

though i think the whole building my own stuff/base/whatever started early as sim city on SNES

where i set taxes to high and nuke population from taxes cause give me money I broke mayor

then later Dark Cloud 1 and 2

[honest plover]

I had to look it up because I could not think of a game older than SimCity with a building system, but it seems there are some

[tidal aspen]

lol well sim city was like made in late 80s so i was a baby then

i don't know anything older than NES

[honest plover]

Damn Kids ...

[raven dagger]

it wasnt an mmo it had an element, a social hub like dune

[native cave]

will we be able to hire sailor to gather resource?

[simple lodge]

I can't remember if there was in the demo, is there/will there be proximity chat?

[distant mountain]

I believe there is… I think @fast orchid

[fast orchid]

Nope

[open ocean]

Did they reference a price of how much this will be when its available? Just curious as i really love the demo gameplay.

[pastel frigate]

It's literally in the announcement

[calm swift]

$29.99 or $39.99 for the supporter big edition

[rich haven]

Can I get drunk now or what? 🤨

Ok TY a date finally. April 14! I gots all the run ready! 🥳

[little barn]

Hell yeah, looking forward to it.

[rich haven]

they got more than that drunken sailor song. I was hoping that was the theme song. ☹️

[distant mountain]

I could of sworn I saw it

[fast orchid]

99.99% sure there is not

[distant mountain]

I could of sworn I saw some video or twitch of it or must have been through vc lol

[fast orchid]

Idk, but it wasn't through Windrose vc

[simple lodge]

I hope proximity chat gets added, that kind of thing makes so many games more fun

I don't know the logistics of actually adding it are though so I get it if its not feasible

[keen dove]

Hype hype hype!!!

[spring nova]

There was no chat whatsoever in windrose demo

[stone iris]

Is the sea shanty Billy'O Tea gonna be put into the game??? That's really the only one I want my crew singing lol

[spring nova]

would have had to use either steam or discord XD

[stone iris]

Or as some know it, the WellerMan

[simple lodge]

I hope Randy Dandy Oh and Dead Horse make it in :)

https://tenor.com/view/brooke-one-piece-brooke-spin-brooke-one-piece-brooke-joy-gif-16617681466576271090

[pale holly]

Have they said how much content is in game compared to demo for reference?

[hollow pond]

DEMO CONTENT
This demo offers a focused early slice of Windrose, with approximately 4–6 hours of gameplay. You will experience:

The first three islands of the Archipelago.

Early quests and your first ship, including naval combat and boarding.

Core gameplay systems, with a selection of weapons, enemies, and survival mechanics.

DEMO LIMITATIONS
Co-op is available through player-hosted sessions.

Dedicated servers are not supported in the demo and will arrive with the Early Access release.

Progress does not carry over from the demo to Early Access.

[keen dove]

The demo is 5% of the EA content

[pale holly]

Thank you

[slate gyro]

Are all the planned Islands in the EA?

[round mauve]

Yes, on the steam announcement. 3 biomes instead of 1, 3 bosses instead of 0, 30 islands instead of 3, Tortuga to trade in, roughly 50-70 horus of gameplay instead of 5-6.

[round mauve]

IIRC, there will be several more biomes and bosses in the full game, so probably not.

[untold magnet]

Yargh mates

[slate gyro]

Wait some people are having optimization issues?

This game never once lagged for me on max settings.

Im assuming its an issue when you have a lot of building objects in one area?

[pale holly]

Game was running 40-50 fps on my 3080 from minute 1

Was not a me issue aswell the people I was playing with who have even better systems were also having issues

[slate gyro]

Hmm unless this was something introduced in a patch.

I played it for like a week when it first released and stopped to wait for EA.

Ran really good.

But to be fair I have a 4070 ti and only run at 1080p at 60 fps

[left plank]

running decently for me with my 1080ti

all though my it was on minimum settings

uhh mods

[slate gyro]

Cringe af

[left plank]

should i dm mod mail about this?

[slate gyro]

Ya get this loser out of here lmao

[round mauve]

<@&1354821664998817822> deck scrubbign needed.

[slate gyro]

Or at least the message below was

[narrow sentinel]

No need to ping each channel, a ban deletes all their previous messaged 👍

[pale holly]

1440P was running bad for all of us

No matter the settings

[slate gyro]

Hmm will be fixed eventually im sure of it

who knows maybe the EA has the fix

Also I hope we get all the ships they showed in the trailers

[brisk flame]

I'm playing Black Flag in anticipation for this EA

[slate gyro]

If S&B hurries up the next season a realease that new large ship I would be playing that rn

[bold hazel]

Four days pirates, four days!!!!

[brisk flame]

EA: S&B is AAAA!
Realty: S&B is -AAAA

[slate gyro]

truth nuke

I think its fun to sail around tho

[brisk flame]

If S&B is AAAA, Windrose's demo is Ax10000 👀

[slate gyro]

Honestly what was going through their heads when they said its was a AAAA game

took them like 8 years to release something and it was nothing like it was in the beginning

[brisk flame]

They wanted a reason to charge $70

[slate gyro]

And then it immediately went on sale for like 70% off 😂

[lavish hamlet]

Anyone else been playing the trailer a lot on repeat?

[lavish hamlet]

What’s the new ship? Isn’t it the corvette? I’ve been to busy to really keep up on the dev streams

[round mauve]

Question: Have the dev team coordinated with some of the common game server rent-a-dedicated-host for the early access, so we can rent a server on the release day?'

[raven dagger]

Don't think there's been dev streams?

[raven dagger]

Yes, I know they mentioned nitrado as one of them earlier

[round mauve]

Great, thanks! 😄

[grizzled tapir]

Just one of many voices here to repeat that the release trailer was excellent, and that I am chomping at the bit to begin character progress

[keen dove]

in 4 days baby

[crude hollow]

https://tenor.com/view/ana-princess-frozen-disney-princess-disney-excited-gif-8570714287581862280

[grizzled tapir]

Much learned from building first base on that island going in blind, it should make for even greater time

[cedar raven]

do caves ever regenerate??

[grizzled tapir]

yis, from what I recall, things like copper regen over time

[crude hollow]

yes takes 2 rl hours

[cedar raven]

dang sheeeesh

i need copper and i need it now

[keen dove]

I need Iron and Sulfur hehe

[cedar raven]

damn i got spoiled on

[hot plover]

Not in demo unfortunately

[cedar raven]

does demo transfer to the release??

[grizzled tapir]

Though until bigger bags, plus storing copper in ship, the time limit should not be too much an issue I imagine

[hot plover]

Will presumably be in EA so I can just do guns guns and guns

[cedar raven]

or am i gonna lose all my SH!T

[hot plover]

No

[cedar raven]

AHHHH PISS

[crude hollow]

nope different game builds

[cedar raven]

how much newer is that build cause some of the mechanics are janky

[hot plover]

90% newer/more content

[cedar raven]

woww so itll be more optimized ?

[hot plover]

Yes

[cedar raven]

is there a price yet?

[hot plover]

29.99 USD for regular 39.99 for devs are awesome and I wanna give them more money and get an OST full of sea shanties

And a few other bonuses

[cedar raven]

totally not a shill

but so far so good

[thorn lantern]

Is there anywhere I can see the changes made based off the demo feedback, or the content coming with the EA? I intend to still get it, just curious.

[hot plover]

I mean I'm not a mod or dev, im a player like you

[hot plover]

[crude hollow]

Too much to list, the demo was a tiny morsal of what EA is going to be

[rugged vapor]

Overwhelming CANNON FIRE!!

[rare aurora]

at least youd get to play tuesday i wont be able to get to play for a few months bc i cant afford the 30 usd, if it was 15 to 20 i could buy it but 30 i cant afford it for a few months

[crude hollow]

Don't worry, the game isn't going anywhere and there is no race, look at it this way, whilst you are saving up to buy it we will find any bugs that might be lurking in the game and they should be fixed by the time you can play 🙂

[weary knoll]

new trailer looks dope! and i'm really happy to see some co-op action on the same ship, as that wasa dealbreaker for me during the demo. best of luck my seadogs

[hot plover]

Play some other game demos. There's a whole plethora to check out on the same Triple-I initiative showcase that Windrose was on

[rugged vapor]

I don't need more addictions, ya know?

[hot plover]

Well as a Canadian residing in British Columbia... Have you heard of our famous BC Bud...

[slate gyro]

The latest is the corvette yes but the one they have a preview looks very similar to how the frigate looked in the EA 2017 demo. It’s the Indiaman looking one.

[proper idol]

Why they release so soon, im still im Europe...I think they should delay until may

Okay.

First of all. Maybe don't go down that path.

Second of all the devs are not based in Russia anyways.

[hot plover]

You need gunpowder too

[rugged vapor]

is it equipped?
Have a different type selected?

[hot plover]

You need gunpowder and musket balls

[serene reef]

Yeah, better be Tuesday on Tuesday or I'm gonna be fkn pissed.

[charred flare]

"supporting up to four+ players" meaning 4 is the cap for EA start?

[rugged vapor]

https://tenor.com/view/balls-bouncing-chungus-get-real-get-fake-gif-18099820

[summer loom]

testing up to 8 in EA iirc

[crude hollow]

8 is the soft cap but the recommended is 4, you can try playing with more then 8 but its at your own risk as you will need more resources to run it smoothly

[charred flare]

oh, i got a own server sitting here with a 32 core with 128gb ram

that is probably no issue

[serene reef]

Damn you got a whole car sitting in your ram slots

[rugged vapor]

Gotta remember - game isn't usually optimized during EA

[charred flare]

bought it back in the days of cheap ram

[still cliff]

that crazy

i have 32 ram 16 cores

[hot plover]

I have 64GB of ram with 8 cores. My cpu is my bottleneck

Absolutely is. I feel like I strapped a Honda civic engine in a Maserati/Ferrari with my computers specs.

[charred flare]

thing is, we usualy do it like everyone builds his own base and does his own thing, sometimes doing things together

[still cliff]

i will see my cpu will can hold up to 128 but i dont have the money for it

[charred flare]

show them specs

[serene reef]

What? U got an FX 8350 in there?

[hot plover]

One second

[fallow wyvern]

We NEED a cover of that song ingame, pronto!

[alpine tree]

when are we able to purchase early access ?

[charred flare]

on the day of release

[crude hollow]

on the 14th

[alpine tree]

Yo guys do we know how much content will be shown in the early access ?

[charred flare]

that is known

id pay 60

lol, maybe actually READ the announcement?

[brazen briar]

a lot

[split charm]

A. LOT!

MWUAHAHAHAHA

[crude hollow]

Too much to list

[brittle path]

yeah that much i figured but i wondered how much, and if they are planning to wipe the worlds afterwards (like in the demo)

[brittle path]

I am buying the Supporter Bundle 100000%

[weary knoll]

i know, right?

[weary knoll]

aww yeaah

[half hollow]

Just a little over 96hrs left

[brazen briar]

typically i dont think they would wipe a game that you paid for

[split charm]

I've already got 130 hrs in the demo... I could probably make it to 200 😄

Just need a crate of white monsters

[brittle path]

what i mean is -> from Demo to EA we are not getting the same world we created (they wipe the data)

[split charm]

we just start over with the EA.

[brittle path]

and the same will happen when we move to EA to Final Game

[brazen briar]

unless they release an update that would break worlds, i doubt it

[split charm]

fresh start on a fresh world.

[brazen briar]

OH WOULD YOU LOOK AT THAT

[brittle path]

thanks Jennoula

[crude hollow]

you are welcome

[brittle path]

okok

my fear is that i put 200 hours in the EA (i know i will

and then -> world wipe and i cry and drink my sorrow

[shut tapir]

approx how much more content will be in ea compared to the demo?

[brazen briar]

yes

[shut tapir]

ty

[wide kelp]

just tried Soulmask 1.0 release, and it made me respect Windrose that much more

[shut tapir]

If there isnt someone will mod it xD

[split charm]

100%, yes.

We need that!

[mint sable]

Picking up the jar of dirt triggers a voiceline "The legendary Jar of Dirt ... Wonder whats in it"

[minor rain]

Will there be dedicated server software available, does anyone know ?

[crude hollow]

yes

[brazen briar]

i hope someone can set it up in docker or something

[charred flare]

i need a pelican egg

[minor rain]

thank you! can you maybe link me where you read that? 🙂

[crude hollow]

It was confirmed numerous times by the devs and mods yesterday, just use the search function 🙂

[brazen briar]

#💬│windrose-chat message

[raw yew]

4 more sleeps!

[minor rain]

thank you so much, but that doesn't say anything about the software for it, I mean the software to set up your own dedicated server, or am i reading it wrong?

[weary knoll]

can we have a channel for posting shanties and pirates songs?

[ruby smelt]

i only just found out now that it releases in 4 more days. when did the release date get announced?

[weary knoll]

i don't wanna spam this channel =.)

[charred flare]

yesterday

[digital blaze]

I played the demo when it released is there any new stuff in it did it get updated? Just trying to scratch that itch before early access.

[ruby smelt]

oh wow okay lol

[brazen briar]

we havent hit EA yet, so i would assume that since it says EA, that software fir it will be provided then

[brazen briar]

thx

[fallow wyvern]

Spam #🎭│offtopic

[brazen briar]

they need a bot to answer faq like this ngl

[minor rain]

awesome!

[lusty magnet]

How many shanties will be in ea ?

[brazen briar]

yes

[ruby smelt]

all of them

[brazen briar]

idk actually but i hope more

[lusty magnet]

all means ?

[brazen briar]

thats the soundtrack

[lusty magnet]

thank you!

[brazen briar]

so we have 9 right now dont we?

kinda was hoping for like 25

[lusty magnet]

ill add more once i get my rum factory rolling

[crude hollow]

The game is still in development so plenty of time for adding more shanties over time

[cerulean grove]

yohoho, only 4 more days ... thats my new favorite shanty 😄

[sterile badge]

Any news when we will be getting the localised pricing info - convering 30 usd is roughly 22.6 quid, but would like to know for sure

[crude hollow]

Probably find out on the 14th

I would just prepare for £30 as worst case scenario

Anything less would then be a bonus 🙂

[tame jasper]

how do we put the bullets in pistol at start ?

[ruby smelt]

not really, but ik what you mean

[crude hollow]

huh? if i prepare to pay £30 and the game ends up costing £25 then it IS a bonus 😄

[ruby smelt]

i guess we look at it differently. i would expect somethign near 22.6 quid, and anything MORE is a bonus cost

[crude hollow]

Yeah you took it the wrong way, I advised preparing for the worst case scenario then if it comes out at a straight conversion from $ then we get a nice bonus of paying less 🙂

[ruby smelt]

i would still prepare for the worst case, but in my eyes it would still be a bonus cost, even if we already prepared for the 30 dollar worst case

but yeah i know what you mean

[crude hollow]

I think you are missing the meaning of the word bonus for us here bonus = a good thing therefore a lower cost is a bonus for us not an "additional" cost

[ruby smelt]

bonus means additional, no?

[brazen briar]

not in this instance

[ruby smelt]

makes sense

[tame jasper]

how do we load the bullets to our pistol at start of game

[brazen briar]

get gunpowder

get bullets

profit

[fallow wyvern]

Ammo and gunpowder in those slots in the inventory

[vast hollow]

Mornin Pirates

[mint hatch]

Will you be able to sail your friends ships? My little brother might be getting the game he's 34

[crude nimbus]

Hello, does EA support AZERTY keyboards?

[last quail]

Mornin matey

[stone iris]

I wonder if I'll be able to host a session using nitrado.... Cause if I can, I'll be able to have like, a 20 man game lol

[crude hollow]

yes you can

[stone iris]

Welp, if that's the case then, 10th Company will be having an always up server lol

[tight violet]

yuppers

[distant cave]

They mentioned there will be 3 playable ships in the EA, does that include the rowboat we start with?
And does the Blackbeard's Ketch present an alternative to the ketch we had in the demo (imo its almost the same boat maybe with different stats).
Or do you guys think its the Ketch plus two brand new designs?

[tight violet]

I'm thinking I will find out in less than four days! 😀

[surreal sierra]

4 available ships including the starter boat. Ketch, brig and frigate + 3 total variants of each except the boat

Will let ye all discover them

[oblique gate]

do we know the pricing on Windrose?

[distant cave]

Thanks for the quick response ❤️

[simple lodge]

30 USD base, 40 USD supporter pack

-# hello fellow deadlock enjoyer

[oblique gate]

Nice!

(Hello to you too, my fellow brother)

[mint hatch]

Was you able to sail friends ships in the demo?

[tight violet]

I did often

[split charm]

Yes, you can.

[mint hatch]

Noice

[split charm]

You just can't manage cargo or equipment

if I remember correctly, devs said they planned to let someone else manage cannons while we sail the ship

[native cave]

nor the cannon in the demo

[split charm]

in EA, yes. Not the demo.

This will be so good. Finally someone else to blame for bad aim 😄

[surreal sierra]

Both. If you’re sailing solo you can control sails, helm and cannons by yourself. But if you’re sailing with a duo you can control the ship and your pal can command the guns

[tight violet]

Ok, so I'm going to plant the chili peppers and the potatoes over here then maybe a planter box or two of flowering plants in front of the windows. Oh yes lets not forget medicinal herbs. Need that extra heal.

[surreal sierra]

I’ve got WAY too many healing herbs in my storage dude

And I havnt even touched alchemy yet so they’re doing literally nothing

[split charm]

Yea, I just milk old Doc Galen for potions, never bothered to brew them except one or two 😄

So the herbs just stack up

[tight violet]

Uncle JeeZee, tell us how the Spyglass model will add comfort to our base. Will it add +1? +2? Ooooo +5? 😀

[surreal sierra]

Good question. Let me load game rq and check.

[tight violet]

For The Win! 🥳

[surreal sierra]

For those who are worried it’ll be the only spyglass decoration, there IS another variant that is base game. Although it’s thinner and not shiny gold

I would share images but I’m on Windows 10 and only Windrose is installed so can’t actually share an image

(Still in the middle of diagnosing my crashing issue)

[somber radish]

Hey, question. the game says its releasing april of 14th, and the time for me in Australia is 6pm? is that on april 14th or 15th?

[surreal sierra]

It’ll be adjusted for the 14th in all timezones

[somber radish]

perfect! and it'll be at an appropriate time, but I feel bad for all the early wakers

[tacit vortex]

cant wait to test it

[surreal sierra]

#│announcements message map in announcements

[somber vector]

Has anyone already knowledge about the pricing of the game?

[soft token]

So any idea how much it’s gonna cost

[tacit vortex]

30 dollars

[surreal sierra]

30 usd standard. 40 supporter edition

[soft token]

Noice

[tacit vortex]

I cant wait to test it at 14. lots of my friends waiting for my opinion about this game 😄

[near zodiac]

Hopefully we can farm herbs too, don't remember if I ever saw any seeds for that

[tight violet]

My release time is 3am which is fine I normally wake up at 4am every day anyway.

[surreal sierra]

I would LOVE to load the game now and check for you. But this will take approx 15 years to update

[oblique gate]

https://giphy.com/gifs/wwe-yelling-yell-nia-jax-1kIwdHGKL2Ir55Ezga

[tight violet]

No worries, every little bit of comfort is such a huge help even +1 would be amazing.

[tacit vortex]

for me its going to be 9 am from what I know. so for me its fine I back from night shfit go to sleep and when I wake up I can play in peace

[surreal sierra]

Soon my son. Another few days and you too can play

[oblique gate]

I wish I could pre-order (no benefits or anything) just to give you money sooner HAHAHAHAH

[surreal sierra]

I think it’s +1. I havnt actually built a base yet. Peak camp design (ignore the storage system on the left)

[tight violet]

Very utilitarian, I love it!

[oblique gate]

it is oddly satisfying that you put all your chest in one cuadrant of the circle HAHAHAHAHA

[simple lodge]

Perfectly organized

[near zodiac]

Storage system of the void, it takes, but never returns! (because can't find anything 😂 )

[surreal sierra]

Actually. Pro tip: any workbenches that require a roof can be covered by a single straw floor platform. At the right height/angle it’ll count as a roof and you can still access said bench/station.

I know this because one of the dev team called me a genius for my laziness. (They were diagnosing problems with my save file)

[mint hatch]

<t:1776153600:R>

[brazen loom]

The sea calls to us all! Super hyped for the launch it's way earlier than I expected! LETS GO 😁

[mint hatch]

2 days off waiting for approval from my boss lel I will still wake up normal time and get the game downloading by 9am local time Tuesday then it should be ready after breakfast 😌

[mint hatch]

I was expecting a May release

[astral echo]

OOOOOHHHH ship sneak peeks >:]

[tight violet]

I see you wear the mark of someone that has known greatness. I just want to let you know brother, we remember. We all remember {queue music "To Start a Journey"}

[surreal sierra]

Nothing that hasn’t been shown in trailers or in the alpha. Anything truly spoilery is up to you guys to experience

[near zodiac]

I'm waiting for another game to release in may that I've been waiting for a long time... and it's also another forever game that eats up hundreds of hours. I'm just glad I now have more than a month to play windrose without worrying about that other game

[mint hatch]

This chat went wild yesterday during the event l, never seen so much hype spam here at once lel

[surreal sierra]

You should’ve been here when Asmongold played the demo

THAT was a hectic day

[hot plover]

Oh god

[mint hatch]

I joined this server on 19th Feb so I might have already been here

https://tenor.com/view/thats-it-yes-thats-it-that-right-there-omg-that-thats-what-i-mean-gif-17579879

Right at the moment I saw a ships mast in the event I posted this gif

[simple lodge]

I joined when the demo dropped. I remember sometime last year I was searching up just all the pirate games on steam, saw Crosswind, saved it to my wishlist and then I saw Windrose on Steam Next Fest and I was like "Wait this is in my wishlist already?"

[mint hatch]

I was from the Asmongold wave when he saw the trailer for the first time

I'm also proud to say I was the first to react to the announcement with a UK flag thank me for my service 🫡

[round mauve]

Are you running Windrose or Factorio at this point? 😛

[tame jasper]

how long is the demo?

[near zodiac]

can't be factorio... otherwise every usable piece of land would be covered in stuff

[somber radish]

bro has a brigantine/infiltrator

[mint hatch]

Reminds me of when I managed to buy an RTX 3080 on launch day at MSRP

[surreal sierra]

And a frigate. All of which were shown in trailers.

[mint hatch]

Still rocking that bad boy now

[surreal sierra]

Demo is about 4-6 hours ish

It really depends on how you play

Took me about a day in total but that because I play slow

And enjoy myself

[round mauve]

Took me three evenings. But I am a hoarder of rank in games such as this.

[surreal sierra]

Sadly the demo will no longer be available from the 14th

[tame jasper]

oh man.. i hoped it was progression wise so i can stick and focus on my early game for ever lol

[round mauve]

Anyone know if you will be able to reset your character's XP traits in the early access? By a potion or something. Would be fun to try different builds.

[surreal sierra]

Aye there’s a button to reset both

[native cave]

there's a button

[round mauve]

Great!

[oblique rock]

A DISCOUNT on release day ? Blasphemy!!

[fallow wyvern]

It's not a hard time limit, you can keep playing it for as long as it's available

[oblique rock]

jk lol

[hard drum]

im hyped WOOOOO

[topaz wren]

I love how they have to address the "AS A CONTENT CREATOR WHAT BENEFITS DO I GET" in the FAQ

[brazen briar]

Aka stop asking us for free stuff.

[raven dagger]

we mustve read different announcements lol

[topaz wren]

Maybe you can't read 🙁 #│announcements

[gloomy escarp]

@grand light

Q: Will the demo be available further on?
A: The demo will be sunset with Early Access release.

Why dont you leave the demo available, this can be good way for people to test the game before they buy it. It could save the trouble of refunds if the person dont like it.

[raven dagger]

they just linked a cc media kit because it will be a faq?

[spiral quiver]

heh i friggin love it , content creators aren't getting the game free, this must be driving those noloads batsh...lol

[surreal sierra]

Please don’t ping the devs directly.

The reason is because running the demo is pretty resource heavy. All of which will be needed for the EA build once its live

[topaz wren]

Read the first part of the post. That Q and A is in their FAQ.

[raven dagger]

been asked and answered alot 🤷

[surreal sierra]

We’re keeping a tally of how many modmail requests we get.

[green yew]

So do we know if more ships or more islands etc will be added over time? 3 ships and 30+ islands is great but if it's early access then I'm guessing there's more to come??

[raven dagger]

"we do have a cc group in discord"?

[spiral quiver]

i just like how they aren't giving free copies to streamers

[waxen heart]

Hi , as writed , the EA will not incluse the 4th biome after swamps ?

[spiral quiver]

that crap ticks me off

[surreal sierra]

That’s the idea but still FAR too early to know what the rest of the game will look like in the far future

[spiral quiver]

o yeah , mornin jz

[surreal sierra]

No. It’s not finished yet. The focus was on getting the first 3 ready and able to be released finished and polished

[tight violet]

The two content creators I know that love this game already said they are paying money because they whole heartedly wish to support it.

[surreal sierra]

I know dearest Captain Falcore will be making Windrose his secondary game on his channel. And he’s one of the largest SoT content creators out there

[spiral quiver]

good , they aren't special. that'd be like me telling jeep i want a free jeep to drive because i have driven them most of my life..

[waxen heart]

Ok the game is as the prealpha test with more things and optimisations ?

[gloomy escarp]

they are special actually, its basically free marketing, or lets say it that way very cheap marketing. And marketing is good!

[grand light]

We don't have capacity to support 2 game builds, and the demo would require separate support, it will not do a good service representing the game in the long run if we leave it. So it will have to go o7

[surreal sierra]

We never had a pre alpha. We just had the alpha. And that’s the baseline for what to expect. But far far more polished and with much more content.

[spiral quiver]

no they aren't " special " , you lemmings that elevate them makes them feel special.

[minor isle]

It's honestly just about the easy free advertising :| 1 person gets a free game, people see them play and enjoy it now those people buy..

[grand light]

I think we should calm down a bit 🙂

[spiral quiver]

sorry cap , i'm done

[ornate rock]

It's very exciting news, everyone's emotions are up. I'm going to try to nap for the next 4 days.

[near zodiac]

I've seen that problem with games that left their demo after launch... even when the demo was early access version almost 1:1 but limited to early game content only, even those parts ended up outdated and I saw people still complaining about stuff that was already fixed or improved.

[raven dagger]

I mod for phuzzy hes setting aside time for it he loves it

[gloomy escarp]

Can we expect battle pass with cosmetics or cosmetic shop ?

[signal elbow]

[surreal sierra]

I like Phuzzy. He’s one of the more chill SoT CC’s out there and actually cares about the swabbies.

I don’t play SoT anymore nor really watch streams but I can respect him and his approach to the game

[surreal sierra]

God I hope not. That’s the game killer

[tight violet]

If you find a map maybe you can dig up a loot chest....get it? Loot chest? 😝

[raven dagger]

I havnt played sot in 5 yrs kepp telling him to dump it haha but pays the bills on drops

[surreal sierra]

Battle passes immediately turn me and many others off playing

[viscid prawn]

are the coop issues fixed? last time i tried playing last month i cound't connect with my friends

[surreal sierra]

There has been a lot of work put into connectivity.

[regal gust]

Guys guys guys guys.
When release.
Oh yes feels good finally knowing.

[simple lodge]

I never got around to Sea of Thieves because none of my friends would get it, but my luck turned around for Windrose! I got 2 people to play it now :)

[surreal sierra]

Aaaaaaand you just pushed release back to 2028. Thanks man

[gloomy escarp]

Sure but they can keep also a studio a float. And if the studio have a good game, a cosmetic only BP or shop wont be a problem. I prefer my game to be healthy financially then not

[regal gust]

Yes ! But we still know when.

[raven dagger]

Its a good game but limited and badly managed these days

[regal gust]

Yeah it has its moments even solo. But the chest/loot is underwhelming.

[simple lodge]

Yeah thats what I heard, but Windrose feels like everything I've been wanting from a pirate game and still more to come

[grand light]

We appreciate people who stream and showcase our game. They are important. As an independent studio, we had to rely only on our own efforts and community engagement to promote the game. And streamers have played, and I'm sure will keep playing a huge part in raising awareness of Windrose ❤️

[naive hinge]

thank you for the FAQ

[gloomy escarp]

Ill be uploading videos too and ill buy the game my self!

[analog phoenix]

i hope regional pricing is not too high 🥲

[mint hatch]

30GB is pretty decent 😌

[grand light]

We don't plan anything like that. matey. Ideally, all efforts should go into the base game at least until it hits 1.0. Hopefully we will be able to stick with this plan o7

[sullen rune]

Do you have a channel for content creation sharing? So people can post their streams when playing or their YT’s or other social media content so we can see?

[gloomy escarp]

great idea

[naive hinge]

@analog phoenix 29$ but europeen guys will pay more like usual , will become 29€ = 33.89$

[grand light]

It is available only to our CC group for now. That said <@&1354821664998817822> can advise how to share it in the best way without CC group.

[analog phoenix]

i am in india, generally prices are reduced from their USD value here. so $30 = ₹2780, but that isnt the price i pay for $30 games. lets see

[charred flare]

Question about gameplay with multiple people. Will each player be able to have their own crew and npc at their base location?

[analog phoenix]

might go for the supporter version actually, loved the demo

[surreal sierra]

Best place to share your stuff right now is over in #1352659456911212636 OR #🎨│creative to show off stuff you’ve built in game

[gloomy escarp]

my 10 man server is waiting

[raven dagger]

Quite high requirements will these change at all?

[near zodiac]

$ price doesn't include taxes which would make 29€ mostly fair... if you want to see what unfairness looks like, it's microsoft and sony setting € price 10 higher than dollar price 💀

[gloomy escarp]

i ran the game on Ally x with 100 fps, they are not as high man .

[thick plover]

i did a small shoutout for you guys yesterday for the 5k people community im head of staff for 🙂

[ornate rock]

Seems unlikely? The NPCs are connected to the bonfire, not the player, right?

[raven dagger]

Requirements to join the cc program

[brittle tulip]

@surreal sierra i am excited 😄

[gloomy escarp]

ahh gotcha 🙂

[analog phoenix]

@lofty dagger will we pay for hosting our servers?

[sullen rune]

What about out of game content such as YouTube videos and twitch streams and things like that?

[grand light]

I have no answer to that matey, we will get back to the whole "official CC program" thing when we sort out the launch. Suffice to say aprt from a Discord group this does not give much advantage currently.

[gloomy escarp]

you can host your self or buy.

[surreal sierra]

Media sharing

[oblique rock]

it's 30 dollars , so it would be 26€ euros not 33 ? they said in the announcement they adjust prices per region , but we'll see

[sullen rune]

Okay thank you! 🙂

[torpid dirge]

Thank you! Much appreciated 🫡

[naive hinge]

@oblique rock 30 dollars will become 30€ for EU guys , so we pay more ! no problem for me for Windrose but i just say it's like that

[sullen rune]

To be honest if people are passionate about your game, they’d just be happy to be a part of the CC community & to connect with other creators who love creating content for the same game as them

[naive hinge]

i will take supporter version 40$ so we pays more again 😂

[mint hatch]

So I've got until Tuesday to buy a few bottles of Rum

[charred flare]

That is not good tbh. Since several people might want to progress in their own way

[surreal sierra]

OR you could buy them today. And tomorrow. And the next day and the day after. Because were pirates

[grand light]

Oh I understand that. And I don't think we want to have a very closed CC Program or something. Truth is, neither me nor Bambino have capacity to manage it now, and this is something that can certainly wait until we handle the launch ❤️

[oblique rock]

I'm taking supp edition as well , but i saw a lot of ppl concerned about that , im just ctrl+v what others have mentioned 🤷‍♂️
"The prices in other currencies will be appropriately adjusted."

[rose cairn]

is this game gonan be a fre to play or are you going to rip people off?

[gloomy escarp]

and then call sick off work ?

[surreal sierra]

I feel like a LOT of people have already done so

[next birch]

Question, are the hardware requirements for early access the same as the demo or have you done some optimization to lower them?

[surreal sierra]

It’s a one time purchase of 30usd for standard or 40 for supporter

[rose cairn]

crazy, wont be buying xD not a hope xD

[ornate rock]

I mean, what do I know? I just remember from playing it that your NPC was at the bonfire so what's the point of having more than one instance? Maybe everyone has their own bonfire? Guess we'll see.

[rose cairn]

thanks for the reply though ❤️

[gloomy escarp]

My HR send me email telling me i need to take vacation, i still have to many days. But i cant cus got new position hahaha now its training day after day 😄

[sullen rune]

Oh that’s completely fair enough!! It’s not a high priority right now, I think some of us are just eager beavers and like to get ahead of ourselves 😂

[analog phoenix]

would have loved this if there was a persistent world. not at MMO scale ofc but much smaller, like 30 islands right? so let’s say 100 people. i guess that’s just not possible, game is designed for solo and co-op only. but just saying, would have loved this game at that scale for sure.

[surreal sierra]

Np. Not everything is to everyone’s tastes

[simple lodge]

Since some devs are in chat I wanted to say real quick:

I don't know who it was that made the water physics but I want to tip my tricorn to them!

Because these are so wonderfully realistic, particularly the smaller waves that only appear very close to shore. My coastal heart felt such joy seeing that, and the way the boats rise up and almost catch air off a wave makes sailing SO FUN.

[near zodiac]

if you want free game expect free quality...

[surreal sierra]

True. A LOT of work has gone into the game from where it first started

[glossy venture]

Hi, is there no more pvp ?

[surreal sierra]

Not currently. It’s still on the table but might be revisited MUCH later on

[naive hinge]

@glossy venture no pvp in this early access

[oblique rock]

dude buys cod and rs6, but is dissapointed to spend 30 on windrose smh

[surreal sierra]

The little groan the ship does as you crest a huge wave into the trough below is just 👌

[still oriole]

i know right

[thick plover]

i hope if they do pvp they will always optional throught server settings

and not forced

[glossy venture]

I hope too

Ty for info

[sullen rune]

Me too, personally I hate pvp, it’s why I don’t play SOT

[naive hinge]

50/50 for pvp

[glossy venture]

Personally we need pvp..

[thick plover]

same here thats why i dont play it either, i dont like competive games unless they are like war thunder etc

[surreal sierra]

The PvP discussion is a long one and a nuanced one. And having dealt with it before, I’m just gonna remind people that it can be a very heated topic. So if it’s going to be talked about in here, mind your manners 👀

[analog phoenix]

“personally” and “we need X” dont go together

[stiff crater]

We may expect something like Conan Exiles? As far a i remember it was mainly coop/PVE but it had server settings features for PVP enabling

[simple wolf]

need pvp and black zone like a online mode

[thick plover]

thats why i feel dedicated server settings would be the most friendliest option

[mint hatch]

This will be my first game in the survival genre simply because I've never liked grinding just to die and lose it all in PvP plus griefing lel

[simple lodge]

(flashbacks to Ark PVP) Yeah I'm not gonna complain if there's no PvP, respectfully.

[near zodiac]

which is why games like these are best fit to play with people you know. Still surely possible to find people to play with here, but just joining a random server probably won't be the best experience

[sullen rune]

I like minding my own business, base building & PVE.. nice and chill. I guess you could always do what Fallout 76 did & introduce a pacifist mode for those who aren’t interested in the PVP part if you wanted to have both

[mint hatch]

I never got into ark felt like a waste of time just losing your progress all the time

[grand light]

We will be ready to think about this "optional PvP server setting" idea somewhere after we handle the upcoming release, matey. We are not opposed to the idea that some folks want to play around it their own way, but right now we need to prioritize the core game expreience which is PvE.

[oblique rock]

i think ppl say pvp meaning like "friendly fire sv option" which is indeed needed as an option when playing with your friends together type of deal , because... who would you pvp in a 4 server co-op? granted there's madlads doing higher ppl server but still

[thick plover]

i just want a chill pirate game that i can play with my wife and family, honestly thats windrose

[glossy venture]

Srry mister dictionnary specialist, i mean i need PVP. So i can beat specialists like you 🤣

[near zodiac]

1v1v1v1 naval battle tho?

[surreal sierra]

Keep it civil…

[timid crescent]

Were you born this awesome or did you have to work on it? 🤣

[analog phoenix]

get your IRL crew and launch into the game. pillage, trade in tortuga, sink blackbeard ships, the seas rolling beneath you. best way to play cant wait!

[analog phoenix]

i see free-for-all pvp i run the opposite direction

[stiff crater]

Totally agree, take your time, after 60 hours spent on a 7 hrs demo, i can affirm we couldn't be in better hands 🫶🏻

[compact quail]

i have not bought a game for a very long time.
half because money, but mainly because i am ebeneezer
i guess the last game i bought myself was borderlands 3
and gotten most from friends or family share... or other ways
but imma buy windrose.

[compact quail]

i really really really dislike this as an argument if i am honest

[compact quail]

u didnt have 60 hrs of game really

[thick plover]

and after seeing the base posiblities in building it reminds me bout minecraft alot of way but more realistic, i have some builds i wanna import over, that ik would work even better in windrose

[mossy epoch]

Will the game have a main story during early access at launch?

[surreal sierra]

People have several hundred hours in the demo alone matey. 60 is rookie numbers

[compact quail]

u "wasted" 60 hours on building stuff "objectively"

[surreal sierra]

Yep

[queen pulsar]

Yes final boss is Blackbeard

[compact quail]

like it is not wasted value FOR YOU, because you liked it

[oblique rock]

i've seen a guy with 270h in the demo 🤷‍♂️ building is a lot of fun

[surreal sierra]

Blackbeard isn’t in the game. Only by name

[compact quail]

but it is objectively not the content amount

[timid crescent]

i spent 60 hours killing blackbeard ships bro, why not stop being so pedantic for no reason

[near zodiac]

what I'm hearing is that you're suggesting minecraft as a game is a waste

[compact quail]

oggi and the cockroaches? 🤣

[analog phoenix]

base building reminds you of minecraft? sorry but you havent played survival/base building games. that is the last game windrose’s base building should remind anyone of. my latest example would be once human actually. that was set in modern era so we also had glass, ceramic, and more build options overall but windrose’s building is decent enough. i am sure they will improve that too.

[queen pulsar]

I hope by 1.0 release they flesh out the faction system and you can side with them and have bounty targets

Prob something years away tho

[last quail]

Will there be a new demo for people wanting to try the game?

[analog phoenix]

i built 3 towns in the demo, will miss them a lot 😭

[timid crescent]

there's a demo you can play now that will no longer be available on the 14th

[simple lodge]

No, and the reason is because running both a demo and early access splits their resources too much.

[surreal sierra]

No. The demo is being shut down once EA goes live as it’s too resource heavy to run alongside the EA build

[oblique rock]

they added a lot of new decor pieces in contrast with the demo , and devs said they will have a video before ea release showing the build from yesterday trailer , if someone can confirm?

[stiff crater]

Dude i wasted 1700 hrs on DayZ, nothing scares me anymore

[grand light]

Naaah, I am a terrible person and all the good replies coming from this account are from my cat! But thanks anyway ❤️

[compact quail]

ok ok, we got a badass over here 🤣
i have 4k hours in ark 😤

[stiff crater]

I must bow then

[graceful bolt]

Just download the demo and go into offline mode... forever.

[compact quail]

gluttonous, greedy beast

[queen pulsar]

Every game with building I skip on the building because I’m so bad at it. Idk if I should finally try something but I’m just so bad 😭😭

[neon night]

Sorry but what are you doing here? Making fun of a foreign language? Making fun because someone says the game is in good hands because he played 60h in a up to 10h Demo? Come on you can do bettwr

[grand light]

Really?

[compact quail]

no?

[split charm]

Give it a try here, it is so satisfying.

[queen pulsar]

Yeah even in Minecraft when I was a kid I would just build a box hut and call it a day 💀

[sullen rune]

The only way you get better is by doing it!! As they say, practice makes perfect 😂. But you don’t even need your building to be perfect, you just need it be you

[grand light]

Timo

[simple lodge]

Hi Timo! We love youuu

[sharp kiln]

YarTimo 😄

[ornate rock]

You def should do it... it will impact your gameplay if you don't have a good rested buff which comes from building a comfy home.

[graceful bolt]

"Me" is generally two walls and two V ceilings, just enough to be allowed access to whatever bench.

[queen pulsar]

That’s what I did for the demo I used floors as a roof and just made sure I could craft 😭😭💀💀

[graceful bolt]

[compact quail]

box is okay 🤣

[sullen rune]

And that’s fair enough, base building isn’t for everyone 😂 but as the person up there said, a rested buff from decor & etc does make a real difference!

[simple lodge]

I used to be bad at it too, but I tried imagining if I was actually living in the space and how I'd want it to be. I was still bad at it, but thats the first step to being kinda good at something.

You won't get better at it if you don't try!

Anyway, that's why there's co-op. Bring a friend who doesn't like combat... he'll get you that base that you want.

[queen pulsar]

Man I’m so excited Windrose this month and Forza Horizon 6 next month. W times fr.

[oblique rock]

mastering the seas and the tight roads of shutoko 👌

[safe storm]

hello, did thay up the co-op from 4 to 8?

[queen pulsar]

Don’t get me started 🥹

[sullen rune]

I can be hired for base building opportunities guys 😂😂

[oblique rock]

i see you no hesi enjoyer 🥹

[queen pulsar]

Always lmaooo

[velvet moat]

I hope my go to server provider LogicServers are able to host Windrose 🙏 10000% getting one on release day into EA

[ornate rock]

answer's in the pinned messages, but yes 8 can play -- though it's not really recommended that you all have ships on the screen.

[steep temple]

EA day was such a nice surprise, this game is a game i've been waiting for without knowing, i wish the best and success.

[safe storm]

thanks, sorry did not see it

[crude nimbus]

Is the AZERTY keyboard compatible with EA? It wasn't in the demo.

[queen pulsar]

Idek what that is

[compact quail]

can't you just change the layout in windows settings?

[graceful bolt]

Instead of qwerty... keyboard layout.

[compact quail]

french

[queen pulsar]

Ce soir ne sors pas

[compact quail]

i don't speak french

[graceful bolt]

Sounds like a threat.

[plush plover]

He's sounds like a pirate now

[grand light]

It won't be automatically switched 🙁 But we did our best to make key binding flexible enough!

[queen pulsar]

So Blackbeard is the final boss correct?

https://tenor.com/view/one-piece-blackbeard-haki-evil-laugh-one-piece-blackbeard-haki-gif-8010676475224775922

Will he have both devil fruits when we fight him?

[grand light]

There is no final boss in EA, because EA still has incomplete story -- just the first 3 bosses matey!

[simple lodge]

Last time I was with Blackbeard in a video game it was Black Flag

Dont make me kill my boi

[compact quail]

i hope that EA gave blackbeard in the cutscenes well.... a beard.

[simple wolf]

game has a boss contents ?

[graceful bolt]

Bosses respawn?

[hushed helm]

Players can have a Pet ? Like a Bird / Dog / anything ? 🙂

[simple lodge]

Parrot? 🦜

[graceful bolt]

You can have up to 7 pets... but only three are recommended...

[queen pulsar]

Does the team plan to ever flesh out the faction systems and have factions attack on sight while sailing by 1.0 with some type of rep/bounty system

[raw yew]

@grand light is the idea to increase the EA story over time upto full release or keep it smaller until then?

[tight violet]

Trees regrow if seeds planted in the wild? 😀

[queen pulsar]

Would be cool to side with different factions and have others as enemies

[compact quail]

from the trailers it did seem like you have strong bossy creatures in the world and some sort of a dungeon with a boss room

[raw yew]

I will be planting tree seeds all over my friends base! lol

[tight violet]

Wait, don't tell me I want to find out organically

[somber radish]

besides the ketch, the interceptor and brig, and frigate, is there any other ships after those ones?

[lusty patio]

Someone was asking yesterday on removal of "question marks" from the map - this setting in the world settings is for that. Turn in ON, and you will get POI marks only when you get really close to them

[somber radish]

besides Galleon

[simple wolf]

but no different boss amblem or name creatures for objectives ? @compact quail

[somber radish]

I remember the big Battleship being included

[lusty patio]

I don't remember if we have it in the demo or not

[queen pulsar]

What would u recommend for this type of setting on or off?

[compact quail]

do u need one? is this not enough for a boss? is for me 🤷🏻‍♂️

[oblique rock]

or this 👀

[surreal sierra]

It’s +1. Same as the other one

[simple wolf]

oh ı got it its cool @compact quail @oblique rock

[tight violet]

Thank you very much! Woohoo!

[compact quail]

this is boss in my head

[lusty patio]

We've made "Off" default for a reason. Searching for interesting places without tips can get tiring real fast. But some players love the process, so they can turn it "On".

[queen pulsar]

I like the new dark red and dark black color palette they’re using for the game now

Looks really sick

[somber radish]

I cannot wait to get my hands on this 😄

[compact quail]

finally. we can kill flowers.
i hate these. the petals and the smells!
evil!
same as.... butterflies! and... kittens! 🤣

[grand light]

Well this is NOT a flower...if you look closer.

[oblique rock]

god damnnn making me giddy just looking at that beauty holy

[somber radish]

You can actually see this in the Reveal Date for Windrose trailer

[queen pulsar]

Spoilers I’ve never seen this before

[compact quail]

i hope that this setting works well with the structure of the game in ea
cause if i only judge the demo, then.... it is very obvious that "ground with some trees" vs. "look at this ruin of this castle" is a camp and the other isn't 🤣

[somber radish]

this was shown on reddit by a dev

before name change and everything

[compact quail]

that was the joke 🤣

[obtuse hawk]

Not long to wait now!

[raw yew]

4 more sleeps!

[mild sky]

normally I would be scared to buy a $30 game for EA. Especially when games like Responding have just absolutely disaster releases but I full raise my glass of rum and will drink for the high seas. T A K E M Y M O N E Y Y E F I L T H Y P I R A T E

[ornate rock]

Or just one looooong one. You can do it!

[somber radish]

Top left corner is the 1st line ship

[lusty patio]

Nope, it's frigate

[somber radish]

oh, nvm, thanks for the correct

[somber radish]

its pretty big lol

[compact quail]

i wonder how the ships are "in universe" as a mechanic, since i never even used one in the demo
i hope it's not too annoying to micromanage as a solo/2players crew

[oblique rock]

1st is like the 4 decks of cannons one, i think right?

[compact quail]

but then i could probably just use a smaller one

[still oriole]

it wasn't that annoying tbh

[obtuse hawk]

I need to find out who made that fortress and get them on my server!

[graceful bolt]

@lusty patio probably a silly question, but is there a mechanic to respawn bosses?

[raven dagger]

I want dinghy with sail and hand cannon 👍

[compact quail]

i would be very surprised if bosses were a one time kill

[graceful bolt]

Same, but who knows.

[mild sky]

I am mostly excited to see what the AI crew is like. Thats what the difference is between AC rogue and Sea of theives. SOT sucks donkey compared because riding solo is near impossible

[lusty patio]

Yes, ofc. They respawn automatically, but also each boss has a special, let's say "altar" outside. Use it and boss respawns immediately, ready to fight again

[queen pulsar]

W devs

[raw yew]

random boss loot then

[queen pulsar]

Damn AC Rouge is such a wild mention everyone talks about AC 4. Rouge was a great game fr

[compact quail]

no ressources needed?
idk if i am 😒 about it

[lament flower]

#│modding-general message
same with these, left is the battleship, middle (behind building is frigate, and idr whats on the right

[compact quail]

cause instant respawn smells: bosses don't give loot

[lusty patio]

You also have fast travel point that activates automatically at every boss arena, so you can do fast re-tries without any problems if you've died

Need to unlock arena itself first though

[compact quail]

idk if i like this either

after first kill? yeah, qol is great

[graceful bolt]

I ain't dieing. Trailer showed the secret tech, five guns a lantern and a few bottles of rum.

[compact quail]

just like that? ehhhhhhhh, need to test

[queen pulsar]

All I pray for is that we get a bounty and notoriety system with pirate hunters or intricate faction play by 1.0

Don’t care if it takes till 2030 to implement

Give it to me

[compact quail]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-tomato-tomato-mater-mato-catomato-gif-1820475763262864503

2030???

[plush plover]

Hold your horses with this one

[compact quail]

what are you talking?
the horse is gonna be dead in 2030 🤣

[plush plover]

I hope I will survive until 2030 but how knows. It's better to be this year for sure

I'm ready to pay higher price just to support developers! It's look like very good job so far

[crude hollow]

ummm 2030 is only 4 years away and its not unusual for horses to live for over 35 years so horse can very much still be alive by then 😄

[lean hawk]

Hii! Does anyone know if they're taking in character artist interns?

[grand light]

We are not hiring at the moment, matey, no more empty bunks on our ship left

[dusk arch]

Bam i go for the frigate and when the bigger warships (galleons, first rate ships come) i than go for that one :))

[queen pulsar]

Can we add devil fruits in the game and make one piece in windrose

[cobalt rune]

Please tell me the dedicated server will have native linux support...can't hate on windows server only anymore

[lean hawk]

Bummer! I would love to know if this changes somewhere between sept 2026 to feb 2027

[queen pulsar]

Do we have to rent the servers ourselves for a monthly fee or sum btw?

[grand light]

https://giphy.com/gifs/cat-kawaii-kitten-sz9VNF5YRPh4z6VQ2F

[hot plover]

That's what modding is for

[timid crescent]

Even if it doesn't you can just run it with Wine most likely, such as Enshrouded

[near zodiac]

I'm going to be the pirate king!

[cobalt rune]

I had enough pain with that hosting ASA servers...ASE was so much easier... 🙂

[timid crescent]

True, also UE does have support for building Linux native servers

And Windrose is UE5, so it shouldn't be difficult

I feel like I hosted an ASA server on Linux but it's been a while

[crystal forum]

Does this game have pirates ?

[cobalt rune]

I mean, you say that, but ASA is also UE5...so I still have hope...but considering their deal with nitrado, that won't happen any time soon...so just hoping we get native linux here 🙏

[compact quail]

wind got what plants crave

[lament flower]

wind= moves seeds

[pastel frigate]

It's got brawndo.

[regal gust]

wind is important to botanica.

[crude hollow]

wind moves pollen = polination = fruits

[pastel frigate]

No airflow = weak and scraggly stems.

Electrolytes

Yes EA is available for everyone to buy and play on the 14th

[jovial nest]

why would it be free to play? O_o
please, explain the logic?

[lament flower]

ohhh you bet, im planning on making a 20 man server, and making it available to evrryone 🙂 and see how well it'll work

[compact quail]

oh i will put some dirt in your eye so u won't harvest the good flowers

[crude hollow]

They can't answer you, they left the server when they were told its b2p 😄

[regal gust]

nice a world i can join for free resources to take to my home world.

[compact quail]

https://klipy.com/gifs/spider-man-tobey-maguire-9

That's when you know they're not old enough to smoke or drink so they don't have money either.

[timid crescent]

imagine developers trying to get paid for their work, crazy right?

[jovial nest]

that's not the game anymore. they pivoted away from any form of MMO thingy and towards multi player, self hosted co-op survival... you runt he servers yourself and gather your friends to play the game with you....

[crude hollow]

Right? how dare they 😄

[compact quail]

i have severe lung and liver damage and no money
check and mate

[lament flower]

they stopped with the mmo, since the amount of resources they'd have to use to be able to host thousands of players

[mild sky]

I legit just started a few weeks ago and 10000000000xs better then flag and I think flag is deff up on the peak scale

[timid crescent]

@jovial nest and @crude hollow ironic that he's part of the grey zone warfare discord, an early access game sold for $39.99 and rated 3.5 out of 5 on steam LOL

[compact quail]

that sure is a name for a game

[timid crescent]

are you ok?

[jovial nest]

People don't usually pay that much for EA games because in their view it's risk not worth taking.

As we've seen, many people don't even read the announcement posts or anything and then run around asking questions answered within them...

That means many do not know what they're buying and can't understand how to find out what they're buying before they buy...

[mint hatch]

Windrose crew basically said "see you next Tuesday" 😂 😂 😂

[timid crescent]

That dude paid $39.99 for Grey Zone Warfare, another early access game which is a clone of Escape from Tarkov, which sold anywhere from $70 - $200+ while being in early access for over 8 years LOL

[pastel frigate]

They will never understand because they lack critical cognitive functions.
@jovial nest

[jovial nest]

IF something's 10€, it's low risk, because they feel they don't lose much of anything if the game's bad, when it's 20€, they want to know if it's hyped before the purchase... 30€+... well that starts to be "AAA game level" in many people's eyes and needs to have serious hype and everyone else already playing it and always online pvp and season passes and...

I do feel our sense of worth has been twisted a bit over the past few decades.

[lament flower]

windrose crew is probs like "im tired" lets go sleep... they were quite interactive yesterday

[oblique rock]

he probably bought cod too... if you check his steam.. nothing wrong with it ofc but when you come in here asking for the game to be free... like...

[worn crow]

Grayzone is beter that tarkov but whats the price for windrose do wr know yet

[pastel frigate]

The majority of CoD players do fit into a specific stereotype. 🙄

[timid crescent]

$29.99 usd

[obtuse hawk]

Yes pricing is listed in #│announcements

[lament flower]

psst #│announcements message

[worn crow]

Good prive ty

[timid crescent]

Yeah I feel like that's a great price point for Windrose

Being that the publisher is Pocketpair, the same publisher that helped get Palworld sold which set TONS of records for early access when it released

[lament flower]

for the quality, i absolutely think this game could sell for 50$ on full release

[timid crescent]

I think partnering with Pocketpair was a great decision by the Windrose team

[compact quail]

i... hate palworld
not the game itself, or the gameplay
the aesthetics of it

[timid crescent]

No one cares

[graceful bolt]

Triple-A is closer to 70-80$ though.

[compact quail]

palworld absolutely didn't deserve the success unlike this game

[timid crescent]

no one wants your unwanted opinions dude lol

[obtuse hawk]

Let’s keep it civil

[compact quail]

then block. you care enough to reply

[jovial nest]

one thing people do not understand about pricing is of course the INFLATION:

Stuff just costs more and money is less valuable than it used to be.

We've had insane global inflation for 5+ years now, that easily adds 50% to all prices by "interest upon interest" calculation... so if Windrose would have been 20€ 5 years ago, 30€ is the price now 🙂

[compact quail]

i am free to say it

[jovial nest]

And same for everything else

[compact quail]

30 is absolutely fine for game with lots of playtime imo
90 for some nintendo game isn't 🤷🏻‍♂️

[timid crescent]

I have 220 hours in Palworld from mostly 1 playthrough... There is plenty of content in that game lmao

[compact quail]

idc

[timid crescent]

Granted I'll probably put quite a lot more into Windrose

[dense flax]

Hey guys, can anyone tell me how many coop players can be on a dedicated server at the same time? Can't find informations about this :/

[timid crescent]

I already have 78 hours in the demo lul

[graceful bolt]

4 to 8.

[obtuse hawk]

Currently 8 players

[dense flax]

Nice love this thanks!!

[regal gust]

(you could mod it to unlock the max but)

[timid crescent]

Do you know what the constraint is on player count? CPU? RAM? Network?

[hot plover]

It was likely a troll

[mint ice]

Do we know if ships will have beds for respawn? Like bigger vessels, say Frigates. Or will it only be an on land thing?

[obtuse hawk]

No problem! Will be pushing it though if there’s 8 ships sailing together.

[graceful bolt]

Speaking of sailing together... are any of the 'shared ship' feature going to be in at EA's release or is that still on the to-do-list?

[regal gust]

did you see the trailer? there is a scene where you can see you can man the cannons.

[graceful bolt]

Ah nice.

[compact quail]

because the game used to be a f2p mmo

[raw yew]

there is an interact prompt for cannons when on a friends ship

[regal gust]

no it used to be mmo with no set monetization so f2p could be a route,
it was never confirmed, and when they did confirm it was b2p be majority request of community

[jovial nest]

some peopel actually run around discords and troll by asking if game's f2p? O_o

And I thought i'm wasting my life for something useless...

[hot plover]

My point still stands regardless of the factuality of your statement.

[compact quail]

u need a fanbase to survive as a p2p mmo or sub based one in my experience 🤷🏻‍♂️

[obtuse hawk]

#💬│windrose-chat message

[near zodiac]

it's not an mmo, so irrelevant

[lusty patio]

Apart from manning cannons, there should be one more interaction available, but purely cosmetic one, for the vibes

[chilly pawn]

And priced me out. I refuse to pay more the $20 for an early access game, been burnt too many times.

[regal gust]

which was also one of the reason it went away from being an mmo. and b2p

[compact quail]

i mean. idk if i would call it troll, but i get ur idea

[hot plover]

People will troll over anything they think will get a rise out of people

[lone topaz]

Pirates need something to raid and plunder tho

[obtuse hawk]

Well at least this has a free demo, so if you enjoy the demo then you will enjoy ea.

[compact quail]

and i like it
i would much rather play valheim with ships than atlas (thats the ark pirate mmo) 🤣

[graceful bolt]

There might be a 5-10% discount for EA release. It's subjective but... sounds like decent value.

[hot plover]

Also I'm glad for this. If it was an MMO I'd have probably not been as interested because.

Oh look are those burn marks on my skin from New World saying hello? Yes.

[compact quail]

well i mainly hope that steam isn#t screwing us with conversion

[jovial nest]

then you WAIT 6-12 months,. then you watch all the VOD's that play the game, decide yourself if the game's worth it... because that's how you're not getting burned: READ AND SEARCH ABOUT YOUR PURCHASE BEFORE YOU MAKE IT.

information is available, do use it 🙂

[serene oyster]

Your loss bro

[pastel frigate]

Three packs of cigarettes is the cost of Windrose. You kids are hilarious with your burn out tantrums about Early Access Games. 😂

[chilly pawn]

Did the demo, will buy when it goes on sale, truth is, I wont spend more then $20 on any game same reason. $60 for the first god of war and I had it done in a weekend with no replay value.

[magic depot]

Hey everyone, is there a developer here? My birthday is on April 14th and I was wondering if you could give me the game as a birthday present 😉

[near zodiac]

The only times I've been burnt by early access games was when I paid 20 or less...

[compact quail]

no, he has a point

[lone topaz]

a pack in england shits pircey

[graceful bolt]

Keep in mind that "EA games" generally don't get cheaper...

[compact quail]

oh yeah, my birthday is also the 14th! 🤣

[graceful bolt]

Unless you're willing to wait 5 years down the line.

[regal gust]

wait you guys can get 3 packs for that price? dang i can barely get 2 here.

[compact quail]

wait u guys smoke?

[regal gust]

but i also quit smoking 3 years ago

[hot plover]

[jovial nest]

there's 11.5 THUSAND peopel on this discord, hundreds of thousands wishlisted... I can assure you, there are THOUSANDS of people wit the same birthdate as you 🙂

[magic depot]

I was actually born there

[chilly pawn]

@graceful bolt it will go on sale at some time.

[compact quail]

🔔 weeder detected! 🤣

[pastel frigate]

If you don't know how to "Demo" a game without a demo...
Waste $$$

[simple lodge]

There will be a launch discount

[magic depot]

Then those who have their birthday that day should be so sweet and give it to us ^^

[hot plover]

The way I look at it.

I have paid 70 dollars for supposedly complete games by AAA studios that I have had less fun from than I had in the demo of this game.

So 29.99-39.99 for a not complete game I'm going to enjoy from a III studio? Great. Let's go.

[jovial nest]

@chilly pawn Factorio has never gone on sale... it has increased in price. And peopel lost their minds for the 30€+ price tag of the Space Age expansion...

[tame jasper]

when is release?

[worldly garnet]

$30 not sure I will be paying that. Been here from the start when it had a better name. Demo was fun but nothing tells me this is worth $30.

[magic depot]

14.4

[hot plover]

April 14th for Early Access

[obtuse hawk]

April 14th

[regal gust]

yeah full price will be 40 for standard and 50 for supporter. so the 30 40 is the discounted price. /s

[oblique rock]

and i still bought that beautiful expansion 😍

[chilly pawn]

I'm not here to argue with people over game sales. It will go on sale, probably in the first 3 months.

[pastel frigate]

Nah

[near zodiac]

I'm also expecting the price to go up by 10 when it goes 1.0. So long as rest of the game is similar quality as the demo it's for sure worth it.

[regal gust]

so i have to wait to buy it in order to support the devs even more. tsk tsk. they really don't want our money with that day 0 discount.

[cerulean grove]

Difference between Demo and EA... If it helps.

@worldly garnet yes, nothing does. i won't be buying on the 14th, as shouldn't most of you... wait till you get first VOD's and then see what the game's actually like... main issue is, that 30€ is one weeks worth of groceries when one's poor

Its a Demo of what you are getting lol

[regal gust]

i plaid in the playtest and the content alone in that was 30 worth

If you're poor it's time to start making sacrifices. You have four days to pad your wallet.

[compact quail]

refund if you are unhappy?

[hot plover]

That's your prerogative and I applaud you for choosing food and life necessities over a game if nothing else.

Do we get to keep our worlds or complete clean slate - start over

[near zodiac]

what to sacrifice if there's nothing left to sacrifice? At least I have savings to pay for the game despite of not having any income while studying.

@patent jackal NO

@compact quail issue with steam refunds is, that many MANY games are still on earlys tages of tutorial after 2 hours... so you might have zero clue at that point yet if the game's worth it or not... open world causes thhat phenomena

[hot plover]

Clean slate causefthe EA is completely different

[compact quail]

i see the point of not paying for an ea. i wouldn't either, but i played the demo
and if by some weird ahh reason the game is much worse than the demo, i'll refund

[stray root]

clean slate

[stray root]

agreed. id be suprised tho

[compact quail]

don't play slow. i honestly don't see an issue

[patent jackal]

Just built a special project - shame

[graceful bolt]

To be fair, 2 hours refund window for a survival game... rarely works, imo.

I tested demo for 1 hour and already knew it was worth it as long as rest of the game is similar quality

[obtuse hawk]

Demo was recommended for 4-6 hours and it’s easy to spend 30 hours in that small area, given that early access will be much bigger you can work out if you’re getting bang for your buck.
