I did find some schools of fish off the backside of Tortuga when jumping off me ship - was nice to see some sea life for once

[somber osprey]

Just pointing out a typo friend 🫡

[compact quail]

i miss when mods deleted ai slop

[vapid smelt]

THE WHAT

[kind hedge]

Pirates dont care about proper grammer LOL

[mental pawn]

Valheim’s thing where you can’t go straight into the wind is inaccurate, tho. Sea of Thieves lets you tack into the wind, which is accurate to real life sailing mechanics.

[vivid sparrow]

When Ashlands?

[olive canyon]

6 month

[shy acorn]

its kinda wierd though. it seems that the bonfire triggers a music flag? so when you walk over the shared border, you get this wierd echo-y music.

[rancid sierra]

The things that make me want to crash my ship into a rock at two in the morning. Those things. :p

[regal wagon]

[finite sage]

...tequila?

[thin topaz]

I feel like I'm back on my valheim server

[olive ermine]

People crying to Ashlands? ah no.. ok

[vapid smelt]

I miss me wench crew....
Drives into a reef

[untold oriole]

Oh god, enshrouded combat looks like it's just elden ring

[knotty harness]

Yeah but tacking isn't going straight into the wind. You definitely cannot do that on a sail-powered vehicle.

[simple heath]

well that's what I tell 'em anyways, they're not ready for the truth

[abstract aspen]

i saw them too. i was way too hyped for someone who just saw some fish shaped pixels as if i had never seen a fish before

[onyx escarp]

Chat im stuck on this quest needle in a haystack search the pirates camps in the foothills quest not progressing but I did all the requirements does someone know how can I fix this?

[plain abyss]

looking for conquistador helmet i can copy recipe from?

[regal wagon]

Anyone else see someone say "Chat" to start a sentence and immediately think "Streamer?"

[thin topaz]

What is the objective the questlog shows?

[olive canyon]

and all the talk in Tortuga that references mermaids really does give me hope that they'll be more than rumors
-# just so long as they dont become an annoyance getting to/from my ship 😭

[gusty ginkgo]

In my personal experience (limited, but sailed 3 times in a boat), it's accurate. Maybe I'm misremembering it slightly, but there's definitely an angle where you're just not getting any forward thrust on the sail. Maybe it was two angles slightly to the side of the sail, but I'm pretty sure it was straight-ahead where the thrust just dies. Slightly to the side of the wind is actually the maximum force you can get on your sail due to counter-intuitive aerodynamics.

[abstract aspen]

I'm "unintentionally" getting lost in the swamps.. definitely not looking for a certain green guy

[leaden drum]

You sure you found the things that it wanted you to find? It doesn't want you to clear the camps, it wants you to find specific things in them

[compact quail]

mermaid fishable melee weapon when? i want to swing one

[olive ermine]

The devs need more content efficiency.... Some shark "Mmmm a fish in sea"

[finite sage]

SOMEBODY

[mental pawn]

no, but the ship’s direction stays consistent while you angle the sails. The ship of your crew does the sailwork while you pilot the vessel, so the animations for tacking into the wind are already in the game.

[regal wagon]

They're going to try and murder you.

[kind hedge]

here we go again.

[compact quail]

the angle is directly head on, yes

[iron robin]

why does my game video setting resetting? everything was fine yeasterday

https://tenor.com/view/snorbbler-snorbler-manatee-the-snorbler-the-snorbbler-gif-14493384683725054374

[abstract aspen]

would be really really nice. Some stuff in the ocean like fishies, sharks.. can't wait for the devs to cook

[knotty harness]

Your wish for mermaids is granted: Manatees will be added to the game.

[mental pawn]

Yep, this is kinda what I was getting at- plus vessel size and displacement plays a huge role in this IRL

[rancid sierra]

I find it mildly strange that we can't buy alcohol from the bartender in the only bar in Tortuga, and that it's rep locked.
"Sorry mate, we don't actually sell alcohol at the bar."

[compact quail]

i love manatees
i want to swim with them and hug them and feed them lettuce.

Or a giant sea serpent that pops out and attacks your boat. Maybe a Kraken boss

[olive ermine]

[abstract aspen]

all i can think about

[proven tulip]

Easy now...

[leaden drum]

Show your map, if you may?

[olive canyon]

we've seen the fish ourselves, and there's that shark model hung up by the pier - even just adding those ambiently to some of the waters would go a long way to making the shorelines feel more real

[uneven rover]

I like chaos 🙂

[olive ermine]

ca-dance on me (cannon)balls matey!!!

[regal wagon]

All I want is a 120 gun first rate. Lemme get a Blackbeard version with some 64 pounders on the main deck.

[lusty meteor]

That picture is missing "No Content"

[finite sage]

That shark is unnatural though, it bleeds FOREVER

[gusty ginkgo]

In a playful, respective way. Get good.

In seriousness, I think it should be a server difficulty toggle. In survival games, I think being able to adjust settings like this is pretty big imo. I'm thinking of completely enabling and disabling mechanics like you can in Ark or something.

I don't want to yuck your yum, so I think people should have the "easier" way if they want. Genuinely, I wouldn't want a feature I love to make the game worse for others. Inversely, the lack of this feature makes it less fun for me.

[plucky igloo]

Where is the person that you sell it to? Can’t seem to find anybody there and Totuga

[onyx escarp]

In a sec

[carmine imp]

Random maelstroms in the storms

[regal wagon]

The people of tortuga are a faction like the smugglers. Have to find their main base.

[rancid sierra]

Yup. This is a daily question.
The buyer for the People of Tortuga is on a seperate island, like the other three factions.

[olive canyon]

the isles be teeming with the unnatural as of late, me lad

[wary agate]

is there any other blunderbuss in the game? going for agility build

[finite sage]

You dropped this in the feedback already?
Also big ups for writing an actual reply to my joking response 🫡

[fair cloak]

Is there a way to get a image file of your map???

[abstract aspen]

coral reef close to the shore would be lovely too. great opportunity for many many fish

[olive ermine]

People of Tortuga is a name of a Faction, like Bretheren and others

[leaden drum]

I'm hoping to see what your quest log and markers say.

[plucky igloo]

Ok

[mental pawn]

One of the reasons I play these games is for the experience of managing a sailing vessel underway and having to manage my sails and speed to get stuff done. I like it a lot.

[swift wyvern]

Server toggle would be the way to go imo. I do miss it very much from PotBS.

[kind hedge]

my map wont help you as your islands will be in different places

[fair cloak]

No I meant is there a way for me to get my map as a picture file, from the game files, to share

[untold oriole]

"Melee" is not pronounced like "mealy"

[uneven rover]

Maybe if they changed the description to “could be sold to the people of tortuga at their main base” there’d be less of that question. Probably not because it still requires reading. But still

[gusty ginkgo]

No, I'm too ADHD fueled atm to have thought this through. My bad. I'll type up something more clear later to post there. Good idea.

[wary agate]

is there any other blunderbuss in the game? its not letting me ascend this green one and im going for an agility build

[olive ermine]

May-lay

[hot spruce]

you need to keep discovering map until you find a specific place to sell them 🙂

[lethal pecan]

still sometimes find the driving model jarring in that it does 80% of the steering correction for you, having been at the helm of a 200fter

[jolly storm]

Everyone knows its pronounced "Muh Lay"

[iron robin]

omg i hate that windrose was on Geforce app optimised auto and because of it it automatically resets my custom settings every time i lauch game...

[leaden drum]

Hey, in fairness, I tripped over that too. It doesn't help that the game sends you to Tortuga without actually sending you to the faction bases, so you don't really know they exist...

[mental pawn]

right?!

[finite sage]

Please do, that way you'll actually have it seen by the devs. Also I like your justification for it. Favourable winds for you 😌

[rancid sierra]

The reason that wind directed sailing works in Valheim is because it is all done by the players. There are no AI boats.
Teaching the AI to do naval combat WITH WIND would be... very rough. They already crash into each other, forget beaches exist, crash into docks... Adding wind to that would be difficult.

[abstract aspen]

I'm wondering if they go for a diving mechanic, it's something I've seen pop up a lot

[untold oriole]

Apparently not EVERYONE

[pearl bolt]

honestly id ban counterfeit rng in games. computers cant actually do random. and ive known games to offer buffs that can increase your random chance. which is literally impossible. its either chance or its not. theories of probability notwithstanding

[regal wagon]

Server toggles are the best way to go about a lot of these issues. Some toxic PVP? Server toggle. Obnoxious sailing limits that involves caring about the wind? Server toggle. Limited numbers of squishy ships that need to chew on some 36 pounders? Server toggle.

[leaden drum]

Oh... oh dear. That does look like it's not supposed to happen, yes.

[wary agate]

whats good!? they will make ground combat fun one day. getting sick of kiting 6 enemies and whacking them as i run

[finite sage]

The game actually eventually does lead you there.

[mental pawn]

Teach’s men arent the brightest.

[subtle blade]

Please. That was one of Atlas best features.

[uneven rover]

You’re not wrong. It would be really nice if the game led you to the main factions bases as well. I bet a lot of people just don’t know they exist.

[olive canyon]

ah, one of the devs responded to me about that, lemme go find the comment

[olive ermine]

You apsolutely dont need to apply same rules to NPCS as the player. Just make the AI less dumb

[lusty meteor]

Don't trip.

[untold oriole]

I've seen that too, and I don't know why. Every game that does underwater anything, it's always miserable

[compact quail]

atlas has no good features

[lethal pecan]

i almost grounded myself several times learning how to handle the base ketch because i kept wanting to do all of my corrections manually

[onyx escarp]

I know I’m trying to fix it but yeah

[mental pawn]

g-ds, what a mood.

[wary agate]

is there any other blunderbuss in the game? its not letting me ascend this green one and im going for an agility build

[swift wyvern]

it was done (not great) over a decade ago by flying labs.

[mental nymph]

Found this when i was fishing x)

[olive ermine]

Soon. Soon ground combat will be great!

[olive canyon]

@abstract aspen #💬│windrose-chat message

[slow skiff]

Irl captain kidd had 500

[finite sage]

I...I don't think there's an agility blunderbuss 🐸

[leaden drum]

On different, optional sidequests, yes! They're totally missable. I got lucky because I read everything and anything and dig through settings menus as a stim.

[untold oriole]

Dragon's breath is agility as well

[uneven rover]

This is non edible. Don’t make the same mistake I did

[subtle blade]

Three so far, two blue rarity besides the green starter tier

[wary agate]

the first one you get is agility based

[compact quail]

you are free to parry enemies or just attack with aoe

[abstract aspen]

underwater levels in video games are always dreadful. last game i had to suffer through n underwater level was kameo..and i had to do it twice cuz my save got lost

[spiral swallow]

Wonder how that one will taste with some lime

[leaden drum]

Weird, my game must be bugged then ;p

[mental nymph]

x)

[wary agate]

theres AOE?

[somber osprey]

Underwater in gw2 isnt too bad

[gusty ginkgo]

I would like 4 difficulties, with the 4th one being a huge stretch.

Easy - as it is now.
Mid - Just has 4 directions
Hard - More granular directions and behavior of wind being slightly more sporadic near shores.
Simulation Quality - Manage multiple sails, just like you would on a real vessel. It takes time to hoist and lower sails, different sail combinations are better at different attitudes relative to the wind. I know this is a pipe dream, though, and I wouldn't want this to take away too much dev time from other, more desireable features.

[abstract aspen]

oooh i forgot about that reply! thank you!

[lusty meteor]

they're all agility.

[compact quail]

guess you aren't a fan of ark aquatica. your loss

[hot spruce]

Sounds likea ark evolved tiddles

[olive canyon]

Black Flag did the shipwrecks well enough iirc - no reason Windrose cant do similar or better

[thin topaz]

Muh sword

[finite sage]

I noticed must just be my brain doing wonders on me.

[compact quail]

yes a lot of weapons can hit multiple enemies at once

[wary agate]

so the reliable blunderbuss and dragons breath are the 2 blue ones?

[subtle blade]

Well Subnautica managed it just fine

[abstract aspen]

yeah pretty sure if they get the time they need and we let em cook, they will make diving worthwhile and fun

[somber osprey]

love me some saber heavy attacks

[regal wagon]

The dementia be kicking in again.

[finite sage]

BUT MOOOOOOM, I WANT PVP NOOOOOOOWWWWWW

[wary agate]

please enlighten me good sir! all I got is the blunderbuss

[abstract aspen]

That doesn't count! it's all about diving!

jokes aside, it was fantastic

[undone niche]

It was so satisfying to see 3 wolves and 3 goats beating each other to pieces earlier. 😉

[thin topaz]

Placing bets mentally on a goat leader vs an alpha wolf is usually fun

[finite sage]

Well, I might have dementia, but at least I don't have dementia 😌

[subtle blade]

Also! Crystal Dynamics Tomb Raider trilogy actually had good underwater sequences IMO as well!

[olive canyon]

honestly, I'll totally be happy with Diving/Swimming just being improved for QOL and ambience at first - they can cook underwater POIs and interactions later on if the initial effort turns out worth it

[compact quail]

it is funny how the rapier pipeline and "groups of enemies are annoying and combat is trash" aligns almost to a circle

[kind hedge]

enshrouded also did it.. and made water mechs so cool..

[slow skiff]

I saw a group of pirates lose to an alphawolf before lmao

[olive ermine]

Its a PC Fight... Rams vs Bytes

When I'm waiting for stuff to smelt/tan/enchant I'll waste time baiting wolves/goats to each other.

i didn't get to play around with the diving yet, really need to play it again soon. Ever since they added water i just didn't find the time to play or completely forgot haha

Effectively yes, there is a double meaning. But the salt lamp pun is deliberate.

[silver wind]

the titanic

[olive ermine]

"But this ship cant sink" Guy on Titanic, probably

[mental pawn]

this. on the fourth point, maybe with numpad or some other group of keys for commanding sail groups to be modified by sailors. I’d also want to have the ability to have other players manage individual rigging points for sails, so that you can actually have other people on your ship doing more than cannons.

Going for a shakedown cruise on your frigate with your friends and learning how to sail it together would be baller.

[olive canyon]

@abstract aspen a little off topic, but now that the Windrose Support page is up, and the Devs have said this (#💬│windrose-chat message) - any idea if the feedback/suggestions channel here might get revived? 👀

[finite sage]

Community was good

[olive ermine]

why would they do that?

[compact quail]

that is... more of a w/e build, and there are better alternatives sword wise

[leaden drum]

One of my friends loves to name his ships "Unsinkable III" as a joke. But seriously, come on.

[olive canyon]

in fairness, she wasnt sunk 🤷‍♂️

[tiny ermine]

little known fact: The Titanic was also called SS Unsinkable

[wary agate]

w/e?

[somber osprey]

It definitely wont happen the third time!

[regal wagon]

Ironically. If Titanic wouldn't have adjusted course and just faceplanted the iceburg....She'd have more than likely survived.

[humble cloud]

So, I have a weird issue with the Needle in a Haystack quest. I got all 3 of the Blackbeard Outpost keys, but it did not move my quest to the next step. I went and killed Israel Hands twice, but when I speak to the NPC in manacles/chains, it doesn't give me an option to release him. It seems like the progression of the quest got messed up.

Any help with this, please?

[finite sage]

Ram strat best strat

[olive canyon]

because the website itself does not have as nice feature set for making posts as the discord forums, has less engagement for ideation, and is less convenient if you do have a comment you wish to make/amend

tbh the big one is the ability to add images/videos, since those are essential for accurately communicating certain ideas like UI feedback

[compact quail]

whatever, not good, little synergy

[regal wagon]

Only thing that took her down was the fact it breached ONE compartment more than she was designed to handle.

[leaden drum]

You know what I'd like to see? No Man's Sky has a feature where certain types of ship - on most difficulties, your Freighter - actually has an increased stack size for items. I think that'd be neat to see for our ships; cram more stuff into those holds!

[thin topaz]

Captain probably would've been blacklisted from service, so really, who can tell what the correct option was

[wary agate]

so are agility builds not worth doing?

[olive ermine]

The website is work in progress too. Wait for a bit my lad

[finite sage]

Then again we already have bigger ships with bigger holds already?

[abstract aspen]

honestly no idea..but i don't think so since it's way easier for them to sort through it in the new place and we mods have some work off our backs as well. I legit spent 2 full days going through the feedback, just managing the duplicates then I gave up haha

[compact quail]

no. i said if you want to play sword + pistol, there are better swords than the razor

[regal wagon]

It was basically "damned if you do, damned if you don't." Easy to look back with the power of hindsight and judge...but given the situation, I'd say he made the call that pretty much anyone would have made given the circumstances.

[leaden drum]

I mean the doubled stack size thing! Imagine the unthinkable: a single slot in your ship holding 30 iron ore.

[somber osprey]

We sort of have that, brethren ships have more slots. If you specifically mean the increased stacks, then yeah that'd be cool- ofc after I hit enter I get the specification 😂

[regal wagon]

Or 20 Ancient scrap!

[thin topaz]

Yeah I was just making a joke that the better option was to kill everyone on board versus losing his job

[molten anchor]

Well, it's not like going back to base and drop everything is a problem in this game.

[olive canyon]

if y'all ever do reopen the forums here, I think some bot to check if guidelines are being followed will be essential for sure 😭

[finite sage]

Eh, not a thing that sparks joy in me, but to each their own

[compact quail]

u can't have a bot check that. too many variables
you would need to manually just delete them
like if there is "boars op" topic, i could make "swine too strong" "hog unfair"

[deep tinsel]

Id just like to see more stuff on the islands to make me want to stop at each one

[wary agate]

im level 6 thats all agility sword I have are: green (saber, two-handed sword) Blue ( Cutlass, dueling greatsword, stalwart greatsword, dueling saber) havent found an agility pistol yet so im using a blue reliable pistol and the green blunderbuss

[leaden drum]

Looking very sinkable right now, mate

[finite sage]

I'm pretty sure that'll happen eventually.

[abstract aspen]

oh definitely. Dunno how possible it would be though. We did have some ideas how to maybe handle it better but we basically got a "we got something in the works, don't worry" message.

[somber osprey]

Well yeah, still got a healthbar 😛

[regal wagon]

Don't think there is an agi pistol.

[compact quail]

if you want to keep the one handed sword, dueling saber is the strongest sword pure damage wise
cutlass it the best for if you want to mainly shoot things

[olive canyon]

not true - you could have a bot check for, at minimum, the presence of the subheader key words - if they are all present, the person has at least read the guidelines

that would eliminate a solid 80% of the posts that were flooding the forum when it did exist

[abstract aspen]

it's still holding on still not sunk

[tiny ermine]

there's none, not yet

[finite sage]

Objective: kill 300000 pirates (0/3000000)

[wary agate]

only reason I have Razor equipped is it has A agility scaling as opposed to dueling saber B agility scaling

[regal wagon]

Do the pirates aboard ships count?

[undone niche]

A dedicated page/platform for bugs, feedback, and suggestions has the advantage that everyone thinks twice before reporting something. Let's be honest: how many "thoughtless, spontaneous, and but-I-want-flying-pirate-dragon posts" would flood the Discord?

[subtle blade]

You can get a maximum of 90 in any stat currently...

[finite sage]

They're not pirates, they're cannon fodder 🐸

[thin topaz]

I fly pirate dragon?

[olive canyon]

.........I definitely did not do this encounter "correctly" then - I pulled up alongside and killed what seemed like infinite waves of enemies until finally they stopped respawning... didnt realize you could actually do a boarding encounter 😭

[abstract aspen]

i can tell you exactly

[compact quail]

you can ignore it to be honest. the scaling is negligible.
24% pure damage buff is much much much better than some scaling
like for example i have 2 greatsword. a and b scaling. the difference is a does 1540 damage and b does 1505 damage

[pearl bolt]

the underwater realm in WOW is my favoutite, and im a hydrophobe

[regal wagon]

They're just extra ballast.

[wary agate]

I do like the cutlass giving me the ability to pull out my pistol or blunderbuss and just eat enemies but it also has B agility scaling. Good to know and I see Ascending it improves the scaling as well. Does scaling only go up to S?

[regal wagon]

I don't see any cannons poking out from the turret.

[true grove]

so... pvp, hardmode and creative mode confirmed?

[junior verge]

Enshrouded combat is way too flashy and too easy to kill multiple mobs and bosses even on harder difficulties. It didn’t click for me even with the new patch. Windrose is more coordinated combat tactics, I really enjoy the combat learning curve and the boss mechanics in this game.

[compact quail]

the server should have roles and permsa based on activity here
and lock suggestions behind some amount

im only getting 30 fps with a 4060 on low is this normal?

[olive ermine]

Nope

[regal wagon]

It's probably the number of light sources you have in that base homie.

[compact quail]

u really shouldn't sweat about the scaling. everything does damage. and like minimal less damage on the sword if you use cutlass is set off by the 90% damage bonus for pistols
same for the dueling. the little less damage is set off by a huge 24% damage bonus that u could pair with drakes double pistol that applies vulnerability
BUT u should focus on smth specific, because pre biome 3 your tumbaga is very limited

[chrome timber]

Honestly that’s my favorite song in game. 😅

Yow, a quick question on private servers - how does visitors like Doctor Galen work in this case if we decide to split the groups in one server? Will he visit all initial campfires?

And to that effect, how does this play throughout the story? Would only 1 player or 1 group get all of the storyline stuff?

[mortal stag]

bloodborne pistol parry when?

[compact quail]

u get 1 galen

[thin topaz]

I was using halberd as my first weapon and honestly thought that's how you parried since I didn't know halberd had no parry

[molten oyster]

It's already in the game, lad.

Time your shot well and you'll make the enemy recoil.

[brisk mulch]

is the halve build tower tuff ?

[tepid apex]

If Player A and Player B both put down a campfire on different Islands, Player A can Settle the doctor into his camp at any time - And Player B can also settle the doctor into his camp at anytime, But the Doctor can only be at 1 camp at a time.

The game is still in EA.

[keen wolf]

I wish there was pvp pve gets boring after some time

[tepid apex]

World War doesnt mean the whole world is at war yano

[olive ermine]

u can cancel attacks with dodge too but then its too short and needs to be spammed against few enemies. Good luck parrying 3 dudes jumping u from 3 sides at different times. Combat is no bueno my lad

[bitter isle]

When’s the update live,?

[tepid estuary]

I wouldn't mind a nuclear warhead on my head

[thin topaz]

That's why it's kind of

[main light]

prbl looted already sometimes death icon glitches out and is still there after looting just open map and delete the icon via right click

[molten oyster]

If you're surrounded on 3 sides, you're doing something fundamentally wrong.

If they're all in front of you (which, they should be), you should be able to parry all of them like you're goddamn Sekiro.

[sweet valley]

I don't mean the icon, I mean the glowing barrel with my stuff in it. It is gone and i didn't pick it up.

[tepid estuary]

Yea world war It means they throw nuclear warheads no one will be safe 😂

[worldly saffron]

The developers should rework the stamina management system. It depletes far too quickly, and in combat, this is a real problem 🤔

[supple gyro]

upgrading from lvl 11 is bit of a grind 😭

[tiny ermine]

2/4 flibustier set and add more points into stamina

[patent sequoia]

can understand them not making the game default pvp, but would be cool if you could toggle it on or off when playing with friends

[queen spruce]

Sounds like you did a bad job positioning if that is your situation. You're a pirate not in dragon ball z.

[olive ermine]

No no u cant. And I play Sekiro. Parry there is nanosecond perfect. Here its sketchy at best

[molten oyster]

THAT I agree with.

[lucid coral]

in terms of content, are we only getting big updates after long periods of time? or will we get small content updates (im doubtful im just curious)

[leaden drum]

That's where Comfort comes in! The more you decorate your base, the longer you get faster stamina recharge. Get to building!

[tepid apex]

a "world war" is literally just a war that spans multiple continents, Nothing to do with nukes, Leave the fear mongering too the politicians😂

[winter zealot]

Stamina works perfectly fine just gotta manage it

[tepid estuary]

World war means the stronghest nation join war and they dont use soldiers anymore. 😂

[molten oyster]

Nanoseco- Brother, Sekiro you can literally just mash the button with a vaguely close timing and you'll parry most if not all of the attacks.

[thin topaz]

are you using a strength weapon like a club or halberd?

[dim hare]

not sure if I'm alone, or if others feel the same. but the fog of war on the mini map always gets me...blue, same color as the oceans so I keep thinking I'm near the coast and then it expands. But when I switch to the main map the fog of war is white, so I know it's not coastline. With the announcement of the new support/feedback page...I decided to toss that idea out there (change the color on the mini-map to match that of the main map).

[subtle blade]

While you're at it optional fog of war would also be nice.

[tiny ermine]

if you think that the nukes are there just for show and not for use you are very very naive my friend

nukes are for show if you at war with another country who has nukes

[worldly saffron]

I played the Souls games and Elden Ring to death... The combat system is extremely punishing, but stamina regenerates more realistically 🤔

[left helm]

I dont share thst sentiment but the poise mechanic is annoying. Why should the npcs get like 15 poise bars and I get a measly 3 that deplete if someone looks at you wrong lmao

[olive ermine]

Rapiers/Pistols/Muskets

[finite sage]

That can also be improved

[queen spruce]

I'm not complaining about it but ue5 has some issues

[molten oyster]

Big kabooms are only for absolute last resort.

Do not let Rico near the red button.

[thin topaz]

I dunno then, parry hasn't been sketchy to me except against the undead
and that is my fault because of the attack pattern

[sudden scroll]

hot take even if the game doesnt have much players thats ok you buy the game in early access to support the devs NOT expect a full game

[tiny ermine]

up to a certain point in the end people will do whatever it takes to win

[carmine imp]

I didn't know they were adding nukes. Are they on the frigate?

[somber osprey]

I still have no idea what makes someone stagger.

[sage knot]

I think the combat feels great, early game is rough until you get the feel for each weapon, and learn the combat pattern of the creatures you are fighting. Use stamina food, the terrain, line of sight etc

[finite sage]

They'll be on the Manowar cover band

[thin topaz]

Heavier weapons break their guard (the shields) and parry also breaks their guard

[worldly saffron]

Stamina should be able to regenerate even when you're in a defensive stance. As it is, it forces us to take unnecessary damage 🤔

[subtle blade]

For show? They have only been used in war once. And that was after strenuous tactical and strategic evaluation that considered projected loss of life on both sides.

[cinder wren]

block their attacks till they have no sheilds left

[molten oyster]

For the undead, what I do is I move close, bait their attack and I study the timing while out of range. Then I get close a second time and attempt my parries to see if I got it down right.

[somber osprey]

No. I mean the little stagger not the "no shield hunched over" should've specified mb

[wide kelp]

it only works good if you have framegen and upscaling tech now

[tiny ermine]

defensive stance? please elaborate

[finite sage]

Actively blocking

[molten oyster]

When you're actively blocking.

[tepid apex]

holding right click

[thin topaz]

What I found is that enemies that are moving towards you (not initiated an attack) will stagger more than stationary enemies

[supple gyro]

yeah honestly its early access, not the full game. plus this isnt a big aaa gaming company behind this amazing game so maybe we should cut some slack

[olive ermine]

The game gives you complementary stagger and then scores ur dmg. When u pass the treshold it TAKES AWAY POWER and gives it to the mob so it can now attack through the attacks that staggered it. Really poor. It also instantly rewards poise points, while ur reg slowly. I say remove poise and give us proper block

[worldly saffron]

In position to block attacks

[tiny ermine]

that doesn't make sense then you just cheese everything by keep holding block

[silent wadi]

real deal, this game is already better than many full-release games. even if they did nothing more to it, I feel like I've got my money's worth. The fact that they keep adding and working on it is just a major bonus ❤️

[queen spruce]

I switched to and increased parry window weapon and it's made things much easier

[cinder wren]

dont actively hold block only click it when ur being attacked

[clever ivy]

Hmmm, I wasnt aware they had nukes in 17xx. Why is this a discussion in here

[sudden scroll]

yep i honestly bought it knowing as is is a pretty good experience the updates are just a bonus

[left helm]

I hate it so much lol. I have a 1000 dollar 24gb graphics card and one of the best gaming cpus on the planet just to be told I need to upscale something like a filthy console peasent

[finite sage]

WE WANT NUKES! AND JETPACKS! AND SUBMARINES!

[molten oyster]

You can't. That's why you see those shields. You lose them when blocking and they regenerate slowly after.

[worldly saffron]

The game is great in itself. It just needs an improvement to the stamina management system 🤔

I guess I'm used to fog of war from playing Snowrunner and Roadcraft...so that doesn't bother me so much. The color on the mini-map however...I keep thinking water.

That said, I did run across a site where you upload a file (forgot which) and it will create a map with everything on it for your world. I've used that if I want to hunt specifically for something, no fog of war there.

Maybe it'll be one of the few early access titles that justifies upping the price at 1.0 launch

[tiny ermine]

yes that's also deterrent to make players be dynamic and proactive in combat not just turtling

[barren steppe]

See, I wouldn't mind FOW if not for the fact that I've been playing exclusively on a friend's game since launch, booted up my solo world and have to look for everything. :\

Yea

This is Windrose, not Dark Souls.

Lol uncovering is my last thing I realistically have to do progression wise I'm not letting a mod take that away from me personally

im looking forward to how this game unfolds and early access honestly speaking is hella fun since im on my sem break im spamming this game like crazy

[steep delta]

no no this is pirate-themed Dark Souls and you will learn to love it.

[orchid bluff]

THANKS

[subtle blade]

I just want fog of war to be a server option TBH. I don't see the benefit of it. It adds nothing to gameplay.

[molten oyster]

Soulsgames difficulty is, frankly (aside from the very first two entries in the franchise; Demon's Souls 2008 and Dark Souls) greatly exaggerated.

By far, the hardest ones are Bloodborne and Sekiro.

Elden Ring is hella fun but it's their easiest entry in terms of difficulty.

[ionic heron]

Hello there pirates! I have a question about dedicated server (i have seen the full guide on official website about dedicated server, but there is one more question). Is it possible to keep server online, even tho PC is off? Or only when pc is on, then can friends join? Becouse me and my friend aint got pc, which would be ON 24/7, so is it possible somehow to have server with PC being OFF (of a host) ? I hope you understand my question (my english is not main language, sorry for mistakes)

[barren steppe]

Real talk, I wouldn't mind a spyglass function from the crow's nest that greatly enhances detection range. I feel like that would enrich co-op for those games where not everyone wants to helm.

[tiny ermine]

definitely but the learning curve is not that difficult, relatively, it's basically 2 hits and dodge back and as long as you're in the rested state you have infinite stamina

[plain sinew]

I hope one of the new 40 build pieces will be new tiles. I like the orange tile found at the People of Tortuga camp.

[tepid apex]

It makes no sense, we are sailors in the Caribbean, there would literally be maps of the surronding isles everywhere

[queen spruce]

I never played dark souls. If this is dark souls combat difficulty then I don't get the hype as combat here isn't difficult once understood

[wide kelp]

well... they should probably just make a static world at that point, because the whole point of procedurally generated and fog of war is to promote exploration and the "unknown"

[olive ermine]

Plus, souls have a very delibarate design. Investing in stats rewards with power you can FEEL

[molten oyster]

Dark Souls is harder than this. Believe me.

I have played through ALL Soulsborne games.

[clever ivy]

well, YOU sir can take the hi road, myself, with 3 kids and a full time job doesnt mind peaking under the hood to get an idea what I want to do next.

[queen spruce]

I surmised

[finite sage]

Dark Souls is easy, just Zweihander bonk your way to victory 😌

[tepid apex]

Souls is artificial difficulty, The game gets easier as you get better

[silent wadi]

Different choice of how to play. It's single player, so all that matters is the individual's experience. If someone's experience is enhanced and they have more fun playing a game by unlocking the map, I'd hardly call it cheating. I like FOW, but that's my preference.

If it were an MP game with PvP sure, but this is not it.

[dim hare]

turtling? someone just explained it to me....so like the enemy that hugs the shield and it takes a long time to kill it because of that?

[molten oyster]

I don't remember the weapon I used for the first Dark Souls.

[olive ermine]

Shield of Artorias makes DS1 walk in the park after u get it

[left lake]

Hope 1 day they could add royal navy flags and ship colours so I can role play the last ship of the Royal navy in these waters

[wide kelp]

yeah I know... everyone wants to make their own rules in games they play now

[supple gyro]

forget the pig, i died to that dodo

[molten oyster]

Turtling is just hiding behind your shield without really fighting.

[tepid apex]

Dark bead spam in DS1 was just insanely OP too

[main igloo]

arhg i think i messed up a side quest bitter pill. i was ment to rescure someone but i kinda let the ship sink before i read the mission ahahaha

[queen spruce]

Anyone find the level 12 dodo? Dev joke I'm sure.

[barren steppe]

I got filtered by a bad coastal spawn. I fell into a rock outcropping around six times and got stuck.

[molten oyster]

... That's the opposite of artificial difficulty.

[main igloo]

hoping the ship respawns but oooof

[clever ivy]

Killed him this morning lol

[olive ermine]

Yeah, the only thing id give souls games is that combat never feels janky. And boss fights are grand and cinematic. Failing there doesnt trigger me. It motives me to learn. Here I know a dumb AI is overtuned for normal and the mechanics are poor and controls semi-responsive.

[molten oyster]

In STARK contrast: though I very much love the franchise, Monster Hunter has artificial difficulty.

[supple gyro]

the only thing i want form this game is to give me blueprints of shipwrecks

[regal wagon]

Why in the hell, is the first setting for the shovel melee.......

[queen spruce]

I play with a friend who is bad at PvE. I'm going to save the surprise. I can here him complaining already

[steep delta]

I think it was like a 5-10 min wait on that one respawning when one of the players on my server screwed it up

[finite sage]

Because people of culture 😌

[broken falcon]

hello chat i just joined and it looks like everyones already talking about what i was going to talk about

why is this game so damn hard

[supple gyro]

just killed that bugger couple mins ago

[regal wagon]

Their culture is garbage and needs forgotten by history.

[abstract aspen]

the true issue with souls games is the camera

[molten oyster]

There's a difficulty setting you can adjust and even customize.

[queen spruce]

As soon as the game is considered better with the controller I'm out 🤣

[finite sage]

https://tenor.com/sczZByIdEOR.gif

[tepid apex]

The only time Souls games felt janky was when it came too PVP - The lag step backstabs and such, But as for the PVE side the game was fantastic, I never felt like i got screwed over by the game after playing perfect, every death came from being punished by a mistake i made

[strange sinew]

Is the patch with the new building pieces already out?

[queen spruce]

I've been PC Master race since the commodore 64, I just cannot get used two controllers

[broken falcon]

I do not see a way to do that in my already made game. Do I need to fully restart??

[clever ivy]

Because there are a lot of building blocks you need to make it competative. Your gear needs to be level with the enemy, your level needs to be level with the enemy, and dont ignore food. It takes a LONG time to do all that

[true forum]

There new building prices wha

[olive ermine]

that is interesting, i never minded it. But that is probably high personal take for both of us. Early games were rought around some edges tho ill give u that

[dim hare]

yeah, that's what was explained to me. as for the one enemy, they do swing at you with the sword and attacks with the shield...so maybe not so much npc turtling...but damn that enemy loves hugging that shield to protect itself when you try and swing at it.

[left lake]

Shouldn't all this dark souls talk be in the off topic channel?

[broken falcon]

I just joined the game and I'm getting curbstomped by boars. Why would the game not balance for that?

[molten oyster]

Means you have to attack during an opening, OR you whittle down its guard by attacking the shield. It has a limit on guard points, just like you do.

[queen spruce]

Plague warriors turtle so that's pretty close

[true forum]

I wish there was defence cannon you could place on your base that be cool

[dim hare]

yeah, that was a hoot when I ran across it and mentioned it in voice when I was in another server...they were like...WHAT? level 12??? then a little while later, they ran into one. lol

It be cool to have a dodo pet

[finite sage]

...joined the game or started a new one? Just set the difficulty to something that you'll enjoy if the latter

[abstract aspen]

i remember i had lots of camera issues in dark souls 3 ..maybe I'd play differently now that I know how to be better at such games and honestly I suck at playing with controller which ofc i did back then

[clever ivy]

best thing to do is learn attack patters early on. Hit twice with sword and then dodge, come back in after stam recovers, repeat until dead

[olive ermine]

Yes PVP was jank due to netcode, the usual suspect. PVE is cream for me. When I learned patterns it never felt cheap. I am infuriated when I am managing an enemy here and he dials radio over to call 4 more buddies and i am moving like an old tank and cant controll the battle at all. I cant overwhelm, I need to wait my turn. And then hits punish way too much. Unfun across the board. But again - I have faith it will be ironed out

[queen spruce]

Truffles it's great for boarding, tough he does commit war crimes after the ship surrenders

[tepid apex]

me and bro coming for your gwala

[true forum]

Well I don’t see they can’t add one sense we already have a pig 🐖

[finite sage]

We don't talk about the Truffles massacre 🐸

[solid drum]

how do you get the heavy firebowl back past the wall spike trap without getting very hurt?

[olive ermine]

Ohh yeah, I am used to controllers. Keyboard/mouse surely better but i gamed on both since i was 10 yo

[dim hare]

yeah, slowly learning that...not the best at timing. can't dodge worth a crap. But I was getting better at waiting for the openings with it.

[raw heart]

Wait, so. Is ashlands gonna take 6 months or is that the 1.0 release?

[molten oyster]

You are not a tank. Boars can chew your ankles pretty hard irl.

This is, at the very core, a pirate themed survival game. Not an action RPG.

[broken falcon]

i'd rather be able to combat against enemies in a way that is a little more scaled.

need boar belts to upgrade weapons

cant kill boars without being curbstomped by them 3 times and running all the way back until theyre evnetually dead

[finite sage]

...by building stone steps to bypass it? That's how I did it

[tepid apex]

look for a wall made of ||waste rock|| you can destroy, It normally opens a shortcut

[true forum]

I can’t wait to build my pirate city

[broken falcon]

thats fine if this was also realistic but considering a musket shot to the head of a boar doesn't kill it and barely brings it down to 1/3 of health i wouldnt use this as an argument lol

[clever ivy]

Block is important too. You have options but it is all dependent on learning the attack patters. Pary is powerful as it causes the enemy to stun after all their shield are gone

[broken falcon]

i get charged by a drowned and all 3 of my blocks are gone at once, how is that convenient?

[molten oyster]

HP bars.

But yeah. This isn't Tarkov either.

Point being, you can't just hack and slash willy nilly. That's not how the game's combat is meant to be approached.

Right click to block - Time it right, and you can parry.

Left Control to dodge.

[subtle blade]

Even if you have a sea chart with fully mapped islands, you still need to plan a voyage and explore them on foot.

[clever ivy]

When facing more than one opponent, dodge is the key

[abstract aspen]

I never really got any good at playing with controller. i always go for mouse and keyboard as long as it's not absolutely janky to play like that

[novel sandal]

6 months with bigly content planned rather than small updates with not-bigly is goodly smart move.

[tame crypt]

Where can I do some suggestions?

[tepid apex]

Cause your blocking the charge attack, that has 2/3 hits at the end of the combo - So you not just blocking the drowned charging at you, your also trying too block all the follow up attacks

[mystic swallow]

Well you’re firing rocks at it not an actual bullet

[clever ivy]

It gets mildly easier after you can make gunpowder, you can make a range build

[tiny ermine]

adjust the difficulty settings

[queen spruce]

One aspect I don't like about the game is how stats work for pierce, you can get rapier and gun damage at the same stat if you go another route your gun damage goes down. All I know is when I shoot a bullet out of my guns in real life, I'm just pointing and pulling the trigger.

[wide kelp]

doesn't look like it in the description

[quick sinew]

Won't get there without learning to block and dodge though 😹

[molten oyster]

You need to parry.

or walk back and let them swing at the void before attacking a few hits.

[broken falcon]

How do i parry again?

[olive ermine]

I remember one of the first games on a controller was original resident evil, My brain got rewired to controll a character based on the position of a fixed camera. After that no game gave me issues with cam. (Untill Windrose)

[clever ivy]

right mouse

[quick sinew]

RMB right before they swing

[molten oyster]

Right click, just as the attack connects. You block at the right timing.

[tiny ermine]

wait until their attack animation begin and then hit block

[neat garnet]

Just installed the mod to increase number of fast travel points. Sick of dealing with that 😄

[quaint mountain]

Im 100+ hours into the game and finished every single quest.. still dont have a clue what pearls are for

[tepid apex]

Find some bad guys - Throw a tent down beside them, and just practice your parry for 20/30 Minutes - at some point it will click in your head and you will be parrying the world without a care

[queen spruce]

Ammo

[calm reef]

Bind dodge to mouse thumb button and save yourself a lot of trouble and headache

[olive ermine]

makeshift bullets

[clever ivy]

cheap ammo

[ruby cedar]

if we cause less damage to higher level enemies, then why don't we deal more damage to lower level ones?

[meager bear]

this map isnt correct though is it

[mystic swallow]

You can put them into your amo slot

[quick sinew]

Ammunition, you can shoot them, they go straight into your ammo slot when you loot them

[tiny ermine]

wait what?

[molten oyster]

A way to know if you succeeded your parry is to check your block bar.

If it didn't move, and the enemy lost one of their shields, you succeeded.

[wide kelp]

really? I have like 16 fast travel points I think, and half of them I never go to and probably should go take down and move somewhere else

[runic crown]

Any tips for naval combat? I’m struggling with it because ship fights feel really slow and kind of like a slog. I’ve got the perfectly ordered cannons, but they don’t seem as effective as I expected since combat feels so dependent on which side of the enemy ship you’re lined up on if I fire from one side and miss my chance, repositioning can take forever.

The long reload times, cannon accuracy, and the ship turning radius have been making naval combat feel pretty frustrating for me. I feel like I might be missing something fundamental, so I’d appreciate any advice on tactics, upgrades, or ways to make ship combat feel smoother.

[clever ivy]

You have to load your game files. Click load and follow the instructions

[olive ermine]

pearls can be used for ammo

[uneven relic]

And alchemy

[tepid apex]

Higher level enemys have more HP - Your damage is the same - So regardless of how high of a level the enemy is, if your hitting for 200 your hitting for 200

[tiny ermine]

[frank rapids]

Potions

[brisk mulch]

ey im max lvl but i dont have the grindstone for gun powder how can i get it?

[dim hare]

agreed. I have my solo game set to Easy...but then go to a friends server, which has some custom settings that is easier. Then I go back to my solo and I'm like holy cow this is taking longer. side note, I'm not good at combat types of games...so yes, basic Easy mode can be challenging for me (at least it was early on). Much better now with the character leveled where I currently am.

[neat garnet]

Isn't 10 the stock max?

[wide kelp]

no... I found some through exploration and looting, and I think a quest gave me one too

[sweet valley]

Is there a way to get the items from a post-mortem that disappeard?

[olive ermine]

make millstone on bench ...

[frank rapids]

You need to find corn to unlock it

[ember prism]

do you guys know how much time it takes for an idea to get verified?

[molten oyster]

Slow down your ship, time your volleys at the full flank of the ship for maximum effectiveness. The closer you are, the more cannons you'll hit.

[quick sinew]

They're including NPC fast travel bonfires

[neat garnet]

Oh gotcha

[subtle blade]

That's not what I'm talking about that. I want an in-game option to turn off fog of war so that I can see where the islands are but I still have to go there to discover and explore POI.

I don't want to use the WebTool that reveals all that info.

[brisk mulch]

where?

[tiny ermine]

hey there's nothing wrong in turning down difficulties. You pay for a game to have fun not to stress out or play it the way other people tell you to play it

[meager bear]

oh i didnt realise every world was different thats my bad

[ruby cedar]

yeah but it just feels like upgrading your gear means nothing and it's just to catch up to enemies that are higher levels, it doesn't ACTUALLY mke the weapon better

[tepid apex]

Thats what the mod i use does, It removes the fog of war, but the islands are empty on the map untill you explore them still

[clever ivy]

Islands are all the same, placement of islands is RNG

[true grove]

how comes no one talks about pvp? 😄

[frank rapids]

Foothills, near farms

[olive ermine]

we dont talk about the Fight Club

[regal musk]

I have arrived.

[calm reef]

Aim for the ships rear to crit, use chainshot to immobilize enemy ships, know when to use “battle sails” (half your speed) etc

[brisk mulch]

oh ok thanks w comunity

[molten oyster]

Something that I do for humanoid enemies, is I get close to bait their attack, then walk back and let them swing in the void to learn the timing.

After that, I get in close a second time and try to parry it.

[clever ivy]

TGhere are 5 million PVP games out there. Not everyone wants to deal with sweats

[tepid apex]

Upgrading your gear will cause you to do more damage - Meaning you kill both lower level and higher level enemies faster - Ofcourse the weapon is getting better, the mobs health doesnt change depending on what upgrade your using

[wide hound]

Hello

[tiny ermine]

the higher lvl a weapon is relative to the enemies will deal more damage so it is actually getting better

[molten oyster]

PVP is not this game's focus.

That would be Skull and Bones, I think. (Never played it, so idk.)

[olive ermine]

Did you play AssCreed Black Flag?

[true grove]

Don't get me wrong: I don't need nor want pvp in windrose. But it has been confirmed today, that pvp is coming, after all...

[dim hare]

absolutely...I want to enjoy a game...sure I'll have some frustration with battles, but overall, I want to enjoy and relax after work. So I'm all about turning the settings down for my enjoyment.

[tepid apex]

Sea of Thieves is pretty PVP Heavy - Not a similar game too Windrose at all but if your looking for " pirate themed PVP " Thats a good place too look.

[wide hound]

Anybody here know a SNES game called New Horizons? I keep thinking that Windrose needs a modeled economy for trade and a cartographers guild like New Horizons had.

[neat garnet]

I accidentally ascended my blue/rare 2H sword. Oh well, I guess that's fine? It's the only one I've found

[blissful sedge]

''If something goes wrong, it is the result of the mod, not the game itself'' oh ok, so all the bugs in #1493348541177794601 are the mods faults and not the game! wow, you guys are true AAA devs to not have a single issue in your game so far.

Anyway, loving the game so far. Look forward to it's future

[frank rapids]

Keelhold = instant skill

[true forum]

I did the same

[fading moth]

Essentially if you are playing a tier or two below your opponent, you are playing at decreased damage

[molten oyster]

What are you waffling about?

[ruby cedar]

does that include DOT damage from bleeding caused by the weapon?

[runic crown]

Yea alot of it, thats party why the ship combay feels weird

[clever ivy]

gross. So long as they flesh out the PVE stuff and PVP is an added feature, thats cool. If people want it, good. I am SOOOOO much happier that this game was not focused on it. Lots of games that look really cool until you are forces into that. I dont have the patience for it.

[blissful sedge]

My waffling is about their post in #│modding-info . Relax home boy!

[tiny ermine]

there was a time long ago when I actually enjoy online pvp game, before all the aimbots, hacks, teleports, invincibility and other cheats

[olive ermine]

What? I played it to and it plays extremely similar... I got 0 issues destroying enemies even with weaker gear. I Was sinking lvl 10 ships with lvl 6 cannons

[runic crown]

The rear is a crit?

[wide hound]

They would have to solve the lag at sea during multiplayer before PVP could work.

[molten oyster]

Yea

[tepid apex]

PVP - Dont think it will suit the game at all, BUT, Giving us an option too toggle on/off Friendly Fire - Would give people the option too get upto shenangigans with friends, Without putting a focus on PVP And Balance issues

[thin topaz]

Item level matters a lot more than immediately apparent, having lower level gear than the enemy level only applies a percentage of the advertised damage

[clever ivy]

on ships yes. Its equivalent to a headshot

[true forum]

My sword is the Rapier of a Thousand Cuts

exactly that seems to be coming our way

[runic crown]

The accuracy on the cannons is questionable, which is prob my main issue Ill aim at an area and the shots will completely miss. Whereas In AC4 they went exactly where I was aiming. I've had no issues anywhere esle in the game just Naval comabt LOL

[tiny ermine]

everybody's doing it even in tournaments

[regal musk]

This is everyones favorite sword. They just dont know it.

[true forum]

Meh it a alright sword

[wide hound]

It's kind of funny when you have 10-15 ships going at once, it actually makes the ships slower to compensate so normally you can go 19-20 knots but it slows you to like 5-7 so it can calculate all the ship movements.

[thick meadow]

Where did they say PVP was coming?

[compact quail]

i get the feeling this is a psyop and he never played the game

[hollow anchor]

https://klipy.com/gifs/the-simpsons-homer-simpson-277--k01KQAKW8KDWQ4GQQ841XNZZGG1

[subtle blade]

The first time Asmongold streamed this game he missed like 15 cannon volleys in a row. It was truly a sight to see.

[old light]

PVP will never happen js Lol

[fading moth]

It started out as PVP (Crosswinds)

[tiny ermine]

never™

[olive ermine]

The accuracy of cannons is on tooltips. I generally miss 1-2 shots out of a barrage. Maybe try other types that are more precise?

[clever ivy]

Its a cultural thing. In chinese culture, AS I UNDERSTAND IT, if your not doing everything you can to win, including cheating, your not doing it good enough. That being said, just call Xi Jin Ping Winnie the poo and say you will never forget tianmin squar in chinese characters. Funny enough, they seem to just disappear after that

[thin topaz]

This was my experience, but the ketch seems to set the aiming preview further back than the guns are, the brig fixes it a little more. So if you're close and fire the shots will not be where the preview is

[true grove]

They didn't actively say it, but if you have a look at their new support website, there is an entry on dedicated server configuration options

[tepid apex]

Yeh but it also started out as a MMO - The game has took a whole shift in direction and PVP now is an afterthought - And the problem with that is nothing is balanced for PVP

[old light]

there's too many AI Ships and having PVP would just make things worse considering you would struggle hard to fend off AI Ships and players.

[runic crown]

That what I'm doing XD I try to get super close and hit them with them but they still reload so slow even with the orderly cannons proccd.

[tiny ermine]

that's not a chinese culture at all 🤣

[thick meadow]

You said it was confirmed today.

[regal musk]

I will say the Sea is rougher in this than in AC Black Flag. I often launch volleys over the ship im aiming for because I over anticipate cannonball velocity.

[olive ermine]

Plus you need to LEAD the target. If you aim at a spot, they will move away, You HAVE TO count for ur relative speed and theirs to u. Leading shots is essential

[true forum]

What are the major weapon abilities types or every weapon unique

[runic crown]

When do you get the brig?

[untold oriole]

And they realized they made a mistake and fixed that

[thin topaz]

1k silver coins from brethren at rep rank 3 (or 2, maybe)

[clever ivy]

Look, as I said, thats what I have heard. I dont particularly care if it is or not. I know you see chinese characters, its most likely cheaters in my experience.

[quick sinew]

Once you get access to refined resources from the foothills

[sweet valley]

Has anyne else had their post-morthem disappear? How do you get your items back?

[tiny ermine]

a lot of unique fun effects on each weapon the bleed on 1000 cuts for example or the knockdown effect on reliable blunderbuss

[runic crown]

Thank you Ill prob try and egt it soon ish

[olive ermine]

Death markers with no Post mortem means u had no items dropped

[thin topaz]

It's a massive power spike to tier up your ship

[sweet valley]

I had items dropped I promise, but the glowing barrel isn't there when i return.

[quick sinew]

Spreading nonsense and not caring if it's true or not is a really bad look

[tiny ermine]

I mean that's a severe gross generalization but hey it's your opinion

[old light]

so sadly after 30 mins your items do disappear if you do not pick them up that is.

[gusty ginkgo]

@finite sage @swift wyvern @olive ermine

Pinging you guys because you engaged with my discussion earlier. Threads already exist for it, so I had to just go with a comment to avoid feedback bloat on the forums.

There is already a feedback thread posted about sailing mechanics here:
https://windrose.support/ideas/IDEA-2s8k8y56

I also added it to the more vague "Ship Interactions" thread here:
https://windrose.support/ideas/IDEA-7mh4hzbs

If y'all (or of course, others) were interested in more advanced wind/sailing mechanics, an upvote could be helpful to get some dev attention, maybe. I appreciate the engagement, because this is a feature that would suck me in to the game.

[sweet valley]

Is the consensus to run brethren frigate or blackbeard for the guns?

No, there's no consensus, people have different preferences on that one

oh what the? did you set it to that? cause if I remember correctly you can change it I believe.

[true forum]

Ya I know the 1000 cuts has a bleed effect is any other weapons what have that effect or nah?

[thin topaz]

Komodo

[tepid apex]

The ships themselves offer nothing more than More Health + Storage space, The power of your ship comes down too your Cannon + Hull upgrades - Buying a Frig and throwing on Rank 1 cannons and Hull, you will still have a horrible time even thoe your in a frig.

[tepid apex]

you could have 50 guns per side and if your cannons are rank 1 your still not sinking the level 15 before he sinks you

[finite sage]

I named my frigate the "Hellion"

[old light]

so if yall want a good Two handed Sword I suggest getting The Soul Stealer as it has a life steal option that you can use to drain your enemy's health but it won't drain it all the way but a decent amount of it will be drained and given to you but yea. As for Guns the Dragon's Breath is pretty good for those who love the Blunderbus.

[old depot]

I'm going to keep these in reserve for the Brigs when I'm ready but "Fury of the Dragon" wins

[lusty meteor]

and the next one: Enter the Dragon

They already have your money, What does it matter if your still playing the game in 6 months time? Cause when the update drops, more people will buy the game and play for a while and put it back down again

[regal musk]

I wish there was something i could do with the pirates that give up at the end of a boarding session. Its either kill them or leave them. There is no benefit or downside to doing either. Let me take them prisoner or hold them for ransom or recruit them or something.

[ornate oriole]

I highly doubt devs will outright pull "0 updates" in course of these 6 months anyway. Some smaller updates might still be a thing while big one is cooking. Besides, even if they won't uphold that big of a number, big update will very likely reignite the numbers.

And well, they don't particulary obligated to keep up the player metric. As people already said, they already sold the game once.

To me this implies that the ship is the Dragons Fury and not a Dragon itself. Whereas your other two are actual Dragons. I do like the theme tho

[untold oriole]

Is it foothills specifically? I coulda sworn it was in the swamp

[torpid hamlet]

It's passion. Indie developers usually aren't just in it for the money. They actually care about their product and want to see it finished properly. Big companies are different. They don't have an entire studio working on a passion product. They have a department working on the next money mule. It's a huge difference.

This is not a live service MMO with daily progression and grinds - If in 6 months time the game dies down it makes no difference at all - As the update drops people come back, Play a while then put the game down again - No one is expecting people too play this game religiously for 6 months waiting on content updates, If you get bored or burnt out its okay too put the game down - Im well aware they are passionate about this game, But my original point still stands, they already have your money, what do they care if your playing 5 hours a week or 55 hours a week, There is not THAT Much content in the game too keep players engaged for 6 months

Does the tutorial say "you should be dead and there's a barrier around Tortuga because of it"?

[grand sandal]

The doc tells you that the shot would have killed anybody but you woke up with the tattoos and its only a matter of time till you become one of the walking dead. You did not get shot and survived. You got shot, killed, and resurrected.

[old depot]

This was mean to be a reply to @deft tapir

[green flare]

when the first actual person we meet in a game speaks to you. READ WHAT HE SAYS

[quasi chasm]

Yeah, I'm also pretty sure that you can't carry 120 ingots of iron and 200 wooden logs but i mean i guess THAT's a little to unrealistic

[untold oriole]

Does it matter if you don't read it anyway?

[tiny ermine]

did he? I have a tendency of skipping texts

[olive ermine]

u are pretty much Undead now

[green pendant]

then don't

[grand sandal]

Whats the point of playing the game if you are not going to pay attention to the lore?

[deft tapir]

Yeah, because that what I was talking about

[tiny ermine]

I know it's bad, voice over acting really spoil me

[untold oriole]

Becoming a drowned/undead/thrall

[ornate oriole]

Carribean people built different

[tiny ermine]

I like survival games 🙂

[regal musk]

hm. So while engaged in boarding you can hop off your ship, summon boat and fast travel away.

[ornate oriole]

That reminds me, they should def add ability to set ship as spawn point

[green pendant]

while engaged in boarding you can just stand there

[untold oriole]

Obviously the tutorial doesn't say anything about tortuga'a barrier, but it definitely says you were shot and should be dead

[grand sandal]

Me too. but I like good stories. and this game has a decent on to follow.

[true forum]

There really is any specific armor best for a plague build

[ornate oriole]

Cuz christ if you perish while boarding far away from your fast travel points.

[olive ermine]

The story is servisable... and i dont mind it

[grand sandal]

And a fast travel point

[torpid hamlet]

I've been developing mods for other games like Valheim. I don't make any money on this at all. Well except a tiny bit that Nexus mods actually pays mod developers, which is like around 30 dollars over the past 2 years😅 Anyways, the point is that I care how long / often players use my mods because it gives me an indication on whether it's an addition to player's fun or just a gimmick / waste of their time. If I see 5000 downloads on one of my mods and the average usage of it is only about 1 hour, this tells me that my idea was hugely popular, but my executing of it was downright bad. So I have to do market research so figure out what went wrong and how to improve it.

[olive canyon]

i actually really like some of the background lore, like with ||the Stargazers|| - really helps the world feel real and lived in, versus JUST a main quest

[leaden drum]

I wish they came with lyrics, haha. I know it's probaby as easy and punching them into google but still.

[olive ermine]

NEW CONTENT WHEN MY GUY?

[wide hound]

Is there an official contact link somewhere for the dev team?

[hollow anchor]

6 months

[regal musk]

That has happened to me a few times. The slog of trying to take the boat back to your ship is the worst but I feel like maybe a FT back to the ship would eliminant some of the exploration/ risk v reward

6 months is for the larger update that includes the Ashlands.

They need to hire more content people making things to do.

[true forum]

I would say someone wanted to do a marksmen build I say best armour to use would be marksmen outfit

[torn galleon]

@fringe brook just pinging here so i can DM it (hopefully thats how you do it)

[slow marlin]

i know this is probably a dumb question but i dont wanna lose my progress. my game started running all staggery and choppy. if i uninstall and redownload it will i lose my progression?

[leaden drum]

Oh no. Here we go again.

[little charm]

Could be swamp too but there’s a ton in the foothills poi’s , just the ruins ones

[true forum]

Maybe one to boost crit damage

[olive canyon]

depends on if you back up your saves and/or have Steam Cloud enabled

[wide hound]

Me and my friends cleared their content in like 5 days.

[ornate oriole]

Ah, yes, with what money?

[slow marlin]

okay thank you

[grand sandal]

Way to rush, want a cookie?

[leaden drum]

Please stop feeding the trolls.

[olive ermine]

Good job now go read what EARLY ACCESS MEANS and what steam page for this game says. If you can do that you will maybe understand

[wide hound]

They just made 24 million dollars didn't they? I think they can afford to hire some extra hands.

[green niche]

That's not how that works.

PocketPair, Valve, Epic also all get a cut.

[grand sandal]

I havn't even beat the final boss, nor attempted it and I am lvl 15 With all my gear on me and my ship maxxed. Plenty to do outside of rushing the content offered.

[proper bronze]

Hello
Does anyone play games through GeForce NOW? I have this issue now, but today i played without a problem 😢

[olive ermine]

they made around 5 babilion uzbek dollars, and bought the entire country off. They are kings now

[finite sage]

I also want a new Poppy album, she should just hire more musicians to push out music as fast as possible

[wide hound]

Even if every man in the middle takes a cut and they only keep half they still made over 12 million dollars in a week.

[ornate oriole]

And how much of these 24 million are "clear profit"? They have maintenance costs of their own, salaries to pay, stuff to buy, etc. Like, christ, these 24 million doesn't mean they have that cash in pocket with 0 costs

[leaden drum]

Heeeeere we go again on a round three. I'll be sailin' round Tortuga rounding up cargo crates.

[shy acorn]

so I made this sweet island fortress. its just a really small island with a rocky spire. i wonder if this island always looks the same? its the one where you find the 4th chest for the treasure map thing

[untold oriole]

12 million dollars? That's enough to give us new content instantly, but they just won't! How dare they!

[subtle blade]

@olive ermine I found my original feedback from the demo. 🤭 (Probably very different from what you were thinking. Lol.)

The first thing I’d like to discuss is combat. On the whole, the system feels good. However, something about it just hasn't felt quite right since I started playing the demo. On paper it should have everything it needs; enemy attacks are telegraphed properly, there is more than a fair amount of juice in parrying, there’s multiple options for how to deal with attacks (parry/dodge), plenty of variety in weapon movesets (though you can never have too much, especially on unique weapons), and so on.

But I kept having an internal dialogue with myself trying to figure out why, in spite of all that, it still doesn’t feel quite right. I think I may have caught on to something. When I engage in combat it has an almost metronomic feeling to it right now:

One-two, one-two, one-two-three…

One-two, one-two, one-two-three…

I suspect that the issue may lie in enemy movesets and behavior. At the moment, I think they are too simple and that may be what is causing fights to fall into such a predictable rhythm.

[olive ermine]

I am real close friend with one of the Devs - Abdulloh Mustafi and like they are poopping off my guy

[chrome cedar]

Does anyone use PayPal credit is it safe

[torpid hamlet]

Click Start in your Windows and enter:

%AppData%\Local\R5\Saved\SaveProfiles\

There you will find your SteamID as a folder. If you open that one up, go:

[SteamID]\RocksDB\0.10.0

This is where your saves are located. Make a backup of them anywhere you want. Even if the game for some reason deletes your save files, you can simply restore them 🙂

[old depot]

I think everything is just hard to see lol

[wide hound]

I would literally volunteer to work for them making the content myself, I want it so badly.

[indigo hare]

they have made roughly almost 30 million dollars

[pallid drum]

Ahoi

[red latch]

-investors - salerys - server upkeep etc

[ornate oriole]

Man, it's always funny to see people counting someone's elses money with 0 knowledge of how this money is distributed and where it goes

Valve also takes a 30% cut.

And then the PocketPair percent would be unknown obviously.

[night zinc]

anyone have a spare rapier of devastation or one I can hold for recipe

[olive ermine]

Give me a second and ill get right back at this, ok

[shy acorn]

30 mill between... how big is the company? if its indie, maybe the split profits evenly.

[subtle blade]

God I hope there are no investors. Literal cancer on earth.

[versed escarp]

There is a maintenance ?
I can't get access though GeForceNow

[indigo hare]

lol im just doing the math thats all i didnt add in cost and fees that they have to pay

[red latch]

canser if ther supper greedy. bud good if they care abt the project

[unique turret]

Instead of rolling out a large patch with a ton new content and a small patch to fix bugs why not do what icarus does and roll out a small patch each Friday and add one small thing once a week

[burnt ibex]

trying to play with a buddy and i keep getting kicked is there a way to fix this ?#

[shy acorn]

either way, even with 30 people, thats still less than 1m each. you need 7m to retire without worry. i think you can retire on 3m but its more of a "I don't do anything in my old age" retirement.

[spiral swallow]

and remember the company taxes to the government, Salary to devs and taxes off that

[finite sage]

Because it's not Icarus

[ornate oriole]

Very rarely investors care about project over money. Extremely rarely, in fact. Investing is business first, so it's money first

[old depot]

Just realizing this sounds like an Anne McAffrey novel trilogy

[green niche]

Yep, very true.

[torpid hamlet]

I honestly think using terrible diseases like that is questionable to say the least 😐

[subtle blade]

Fair enough

[shy acorn]

either way, this game is awesome. they can literally make enough to retire everyone. just gotta put in that work to flesh it out.

[queen mica]

anyone know the keybind to hide hud?

[wide hound]

The smartest move would be to create procedurally generated quests like the radiant quests of Skyrim. They could come in several flavors. Exploration, Combat or Trade. Something endlessly repeatable to pad time while they develop more narrative content.

[finite sage]

resisting the urge to say Alt+F4

[slow marlin]

thank you but im already re installing so we shall see if the steam cloud works

[faint parcel]

[olive canyon]

just the regular tuesday steam maintenance probably

[shy acorn]

you guys play online?

[queen mica]

thank you

[wide hound]

I played on a 10 man server

[shy acorn]

im playing offline right now. no downtime. but umm.. if they did something like v rising and made like public servers, that would be awesome

[torpid hamlet]

You'll probably be fine. Usually Steam doesn't delete savegame directories. But for next time, you'll know where to find them so you can make a backup

[red latch]

in uzpekistan the avarage monthly salery is 600 usd so they can prob retire for less then 7m

[frank monolith]

anyone else have sort of an empty map? the only isalnds ive found so far are ones a quest brought me to but i wanted to do some exploring and finding a lot of open ocean and edges of the map, did i possibly bet a bad map seed?

[subtle blade]

The practical effect on a free market is pretty similar though. It is a corruption of normal market growth that steadily kills its host.

[slow marlin]

yeah thanks for that man, just been having issues with the game not running smooth all of a sudden

[rigid dock]

Greetin's ya scurvy dogs! I be wantin' to meet ye on the high sea!

[red latch]

a game

[finite sage]

Weirdest singles ad today

[grand sandal]

Theres no way to lock your base or your loot. Public servers is just gonna be trolls what want pvp coming in and looting your base. Gamers have been taught over the years that theft is a gameplay mechanic. I like my server being solitary except for people that I invite in.

[boreal wagon]

they said the roadmap will be only in the next 6 months i hope they change this

[wide hound]

hunting level 15 ships and boarding, in MP, gets everyone the same reward, pool your coin after and you'll get rich fast.

[regal wagon]

Then go start your own game dev company.

[subtle blade]

Hottest singles ad I've ever seen. Them pirates girls at the Ren faires are something else. 🤣

[slow marlin]

im gonna be real, let them take their time, i dont want a rushed game

[finite sage]

tfw no pirate wench:

[slender kelp]

well, to be fair there's not a lot to do after you're maxed.. since by definition you've hit all the POIs and defeated two of the only even half-challenging mobs. it's pretty thin outside of simply building stuff. I'm not bagging on it mind you, got many many hours worth out of it and looking forward to more.

[ornate oriole]

Slap enemy ships around and exchange silver to gold with smugglers

[shy acorn]

thats the thing tho. you only get robbed on pvp servers. not pve, at least in v rising. pve its literally about showing off how awesome your base is. and clearing it on hardmode

[grave aspen]

that it?

[green niche]

Not exactly.

Already seen it enough in this server.
Griefers too.

[torpid hamlet]

I understand your intentions. Not trying to point any fingers to you here. Just saying that some people lost people very close to them to that disease. I personally lost my father to it. If used out of context of the disease itself, it hurts. That's all. No worries, all good though

[grizzled oyster]

Where did I get a Vinyl with the shanty? In and off the game.

[ornate oriole]

I would say so, naval and boarding seems to be best source of dosh currently

[wide hound]

Currently the game sort of peaks in Act 1 and 2. I don't think they have enough content for act 3 and none of act 4.

[grand sandal]

Building stuff is fun. Ship combat is necessary to order materials to keep building. there are things to do. It may not be everybodies cup of tea, but I honestly am content to wait on new content and to start building.

[regal wagon]

You peaked in high school didn't you.

[grave aspen]

is there actually any benefit to boarding?

[wide hound]

I get better every day so the current me is the best me

[regal wagon]

Money.

[subtle blade]

Sigma grindset

[lunar tide]

I just got asked to leave a server because one player wanted to keep "her" loot for herself. She just had no concept of scarce resources.

[ornate oriole]

Money and possible extra trade cargo to sell. But it's more useful to board ships with chest icon and golden name, these are transport so they have higher boarding reward

[regal musk]

Yeah, dying in cramped close quarters sword combat then sailing your pathetic boat back to your ship to collect your death drop

[sinful cypress]

wild

[terse dust]

oof, I think that stopped for me in my early 30s

[finite sage]

lol bro got leeched

[wide hound]

You get robbed in PVE MP too. Everyone starts out saying "we should pool our resources, viva la communism or something" and then when you see how much resources you need to make a big ship and everyone starts pillaging the pooled resources.

[slender kelp]

Yeah, I agree, but I think there could have been a lot more they could have done with procedural and RNG aspects of the game to keep people engaged... treasure fleets, allow us to remix weapons for different bonuses, expand crafting, etc. etc. Hopefully modding pushes that side of the game forward in the short term while they cook.

[shy acorn]

yeah im talking about v rising. if they copied the resource system from that game, and even the clan system, then it wouldnt really be an issue. resources regenerate. and in a decent amount of time, not like 6 hours lol

[subtle blade]

Kotowaru

[olive ermine]

I see your take and yes, the simplistic nature makes 1v1 EXTREMELY Easy right. I didnt test all weapons, I am just guessing here that all of them suffer animation locking. But the "metronomic" feeling u describe is the problem - there is no room for player expression, no room to overwhelm. You NEED To wait for enemy to attack. We dont have a separate lets say... kick skill that can further destabilize the enemy/ When game rewards them super armor its waiting time.
This prolongs the fight with that is essentially a trash mob. Issues arise because the sistem WAS NOT MADE for fighting groups. Camera does not pan out far enough, and only few weapons have AOE potential.
The fact parry doesnt break attacks is also indicative they are not sure if they want Sekiro, Souls or Action adventure combat. On one side parry is too strong, but not strong enough to counter overextending. On another dodge cancels animations, but it clears too short distance. And the fact we are nigh paperweed without food contribue to a stack of systems that : Dont feel right, dont play right and arent looking MARKETABLE (not cinematic or cool)

[wide kelp]

This is my favorite part. I'm so tired of early access games extending gameplay with new biomes, bosses, and reskinned higher level purple gear. Enriching the current gameplay systems is exactly where most developers drop the ball in developing a game in early access, imo.

[vestal barn]

Anyone else have an Amd Driver time out when fast traveling

So, you want a copy/paste of every other bog standard action/adventure survival/crafting game on the planet.

WHEN MAN O WAR smh

[grand sandal]

Sure, I'm happy with it. I'm about to make a second character to loot the POI's again and play through with maxxed gear lol.

[slender kelp]

As opposed to thin content with no replayability? Sure, give me a recipe that's proven to work no?

[regal wagon]

Proven to work for the investors, sure.

[ornate oriole]

Me when I want my Ship of The Line from Sid Meier's Pirates

[subtle blade]

Man you guys really like jellyfish. 🪼

I must admit the reason why is quite lost on me.

[wide hound]

This whole game was solved in the 1990's in a SNES game called New Horizons. They just need to follow that blueprint.

[regal wagon]

So go play that then.

[leaden drum]

...So go play that instead if you'd rather.

[barren steppe]

Man O' Wars are just frigates with more guns than hull.

[wide hound]

I've beaten New Horizons 3 times. It's a great game. A classic. Maybe the best pirate RPG of all time.

[terse dust]

You were 100% right, imo. A lot of the game's systems feel like systems that should be implemented, but are not currently fun to use.

[slender kelp]

Um, you don't think this company is there to make money by selling a popular game? Again, I'm not bagging on it but let's be real the systems and content they've given us so far are very same-y and repetitive and there's very little point to replaying what's there currently... I'm just asking for a bit more RNG and event-driven, emergent kind of system development
