hmm let me see if i find something

[pliant pawn]

Could be interesting for at least one playthrough.

[green niche]

I am in the right section, just dialing it in

[pearl bolt]

many pirates who got pardoned turned privateer. true many turned back to piracy. also many famous pirates were ex navy. u need to read the most notorius pyrates attributed to daniel defoe aye

[tepid apex]

Every faction has a main base that will buy items from you - The quests naturally take you too all of them - Tortuga is only used for purchasing items and raising reputation

[random sleet]

makes me wonder if they have an autosave or not

[sour nimbus]

ok

[remote heath]

With Sniper's focus you have to wait 8 seconds every shot to get max benefit. Even if you 3/3'd, you're getting 10% less damage bonus than you'd get with bullet storm. And w bullet storm, there's no waiting. Shoot as fast as you can reload

[green niche]

Default v one of the iterations

[olive canyon]

@abstract aspen are... are swears all automodded now?
is that intentional?

[high egret]

Just learned today that you can put storage containers under water lol

[sour nimbus]

can we start a bar fight at tortuga? you know, just for fun

[tepid apex]

Very much so, learned that myself last night

[knotty harness]

Crab Pots 🦀

[pearl bolt]

i want to say how great it is that u can have more than one travel bell on the same island, has made some of these quests much easier for me.

[random sleet]

sounds like pirate fun to me

[abstract aspen]

i think they have always been automodded

[green niche]

Place standing torches under the water too, it makes for a nice effect
-# will need mods 😛

[uneven pier]

you can put anything under water, although i didnt try a fire

I tried to put a candle in my fountain, doesn't ignite 😄

[tepid apex]

https://tenor.com/view/no-hell-serious-stare-gif-12545658

[stark terrace]

Except bullet storm is less damage on every hit that isn't the last stack... Waiting 8s isn't hard

[carmine ore]

You’ve answered you’re own question

[remote heath]

in the 8 seconds it would take you to get +28% damage with Sniper's Focus, I would have already shot and reloaded 4 times for the +38% damage bonus. But also, I've already killed 4 mobs

[crimson river]

@tiny rover what ssd fix?

[sour nimbus]

yeah.. i mean, we are pirates.. we should be able to do piratey stuff like start bar fights over the way someone was lookin at me

[tame brook]

I mean this isn't GTA6-pirate edition

[high egret]

Tortuga lol thats the location

[olive canyon]

its just how I speak 😭
-# also its kinda hilarious that swearing isnt allowed for a server full of pirates

[sour nimbus]

im at tortuga, nobody buys this stuff.. i have to go somewhere else i assume.

[quartz lantern]

You can hold down the sniper focus, never leaving it. Assuming you dont need to dodge away

[tall river]

any servers online, I'm new around this game?

Kinda wish they had the british roaming around and tracked you down sometimes for your crimes heheh

[mighty sequoia]

Got my Alpha wolf head but won't let me display it. Guessing I have to upgrade something?

[olive canyon]

gotta kill enough of em to complete the challenge and unlock the blueprint

[carmine ore]

Send a pic of the items

[tepid apex]

We need too commit crimes first 🙁

[abstract aspen]

because real pirates never swear ofc. we have class.

[sour nimbus]

https://tenor.com/view/murphy-pirate-pekingese-mix-ithink-gif-12411842

[quartz lantern]

Depends on how much damage you have and how fast you can deal with each one. You can keep walking in sniper focus, which can be enough

[stark terrace]

You'll be reloading the 2nd shot actually

[pearl bolt]

they sorta do in now in the real world, although now being british IS a crime

[mighty sequoia]

Ahh okies, thanks!

[random sleet]

wellll murder is murder even if they were pirates it was quite grey back then xD

[sour nimbus]

this stuff

[compact quail]

people of tortuga buy them in their base

[remote heath]

True, if it's just 3 regular mob dudes slowly walking at me like they do, that's easy to keep focusing I guess. What about 3 crocs tho? What about 2 regular dudes and 2 hunters? Or 2 hunters, a witch, and an armored elite?

[sour nimbus]

yeah.. theyre not in tortuga is what's confusing

[quartz lantern]

You sell that stuff, at the faction islands. Tortuga is more for fast buying and rep

[knotty harness]

You've gotta go to the faction bases to sell that stuff. People of Tortuga have their base at a refugee camp away from Tortuga

[swift creek]

Do the buccaneers story line

[pearl bolt]

cant believe how much silver u get from the haulers when u board

[stark terrace]

Funny thing, when you can just one shot most of those things... You get to pick your first targets

[tepid apex]

You would be surprised how lenient the British / French / Spanish Navys were when it came too people killing pirates, If someone else wanted too sail the Caribbean ocean putting holes in Pirate ships, the navys were more than happy too let you do so, It just ment they did have too do it themselves.

[remote heath]

Yep. So you're saying basically that you kill all mobs coming at you before they reach you, thereby negating the need to lose focus? Including the heavy armor types and the Hulks? Crazy work bro. But the math is still in my favor - you have to maintain focus and not break it, just for 10% less damage bonus.

[quartz lantern]

Sniper focus is not for every situation, but given we have free respecs and groups are usually in the large POIs...

[random sleet]

3 crocs, angle to hit 2 at one time one hit then dash. 2 hunters and 2 regs go around a corner the hunters wont follow. Armored go around a corner but she might follow, maybe try to get enough distance to seperate them

[brittle geyser]

i was the first bio weapon

[compact quail]

just say the pirate made an offensive meme abt you so the entire royal navy strikes upon him

[pearl bolt]

because of the money companies were losing through trade, always follow the money

[olive canyon]

embed epico 😭

[compact quail]

you have not been to the swamps, have you?

[remote heath]

good lord that's a lot of creative fan fic you're writing. I mean sure, if I could control all variables about how mobs act and also control every aspect of my environment and also just make it so that there are no surprise crocs hiding around then ok man lol, it's easy to do that when you can control everything

[fresh rune]

When can we get up to the crowsnest on our ships?

[stark terrace]

I've beat all 3 bosses

[tepid apex]

The British Navy is probably the worst branch of Military we have when it comes too spending money - The boat im currently working on is around 5 years past its completion date, and about £30 million over budget, And we are literally putting this thing together with scrap metal we find in the yard

[quartz lantern]

and given its word against word, back then, it would be a quick way to settle an issue. My rival was a pirate...

[olive canyon]

I blame Discord - ever since the swap off from tenor, sending gifs has been a complete mess 😭

[knotty harness]

As soon as:

• We can climb the rigging
• We have ships with a Crow's Nest instead of just Fighting Tops

[random sleet]

This is control through sprinting away of course I can control it they are chasing you in predicable patterns dont be stupid

[pearl bolt]

and by the time its finished, its out of date.

[fresh rune]

Can you send feedback?

[remote heath]

The bottom line is that having to wait 8 seconds, then NEVER lose focus or you lose the bonus, to get 10% less damage bonus than Bullet Storm all the while you kill targets to build up your bonus rather than waiting around.... there's just no comparison. Your argument is just one of material cost of ammo. I don't have that concern.

[knotty harness]

There's a feedback button in the game's main menu and the most recent announcment here in the discord has a link to the new website where you can also give feedback

[tepid apex]

We are supposed too be building multiple of them, HMS Glasgow, HMS Edinburgh, HMS London, HMS Cardiff, If we were on schedule we would be on boat 3 by now, Boat 1 still is not finished and Boat 2 has just had its shell complete a few months ago - We did the float off last year for Boat 1, You can see it on youtube its pretty cool.

[compact quail]

i wonder if people think the crows nest would do anything functionally in windrose

[remote heath]

Well all that hinges on you not stumbling into a second group in the forest or a crocodile waiting in the wings. Easy enough to make that mistake.

[quartz lantern]

Does bulletstorm, just require you to hit? how large is the window between shots?

[remote heath]

Window is quite generous. I think it's something like 30 seconds? Maybe 20. Yes you have to hit.

[glossy moth]

THAT's what happened! I've been trying to figure out why the gif selection has just been piss poor the last couple of weeks.

[random sleet]

if you stumble wildly into everything then thats your own fault, you should always retreat the way you came

[vital sky]

I thought it would uncover more of the map as the bigger the ship the higher the crows nest to more they can essentially see

[tepid apex]

Someone has too tie off these ropes

[knotty harness]

I would hope that if they did implement the Crow's Nest as a station you can get up to, there'd be some kind of telescope function up there

[pearl bolt]

anything funded by public pursestrings is like this, thats why councils cant afford to pay contractors cos whenever the govt is involved money disappears into black holes in the nether.

[remote heath]

This is what I'm talking about. You're talking like you haven't been to the swamp. You WILL run into surprises there. You're not perfectly in control of everything lol

[stark terrace]

Hit without missing, you miss once you lose the whole stack

[light oxide]

I think the crows nest could simply just expand the range in which you can see the name plates of other boats. Great for hunting down prey

[random sleet]

Im lvl 14, i built my main base in the swamp just be quiet

[remote heath]

It's incredibly hard to miss my guy. If you're missing, that's a massive skill issue

[compact quail]

i mean. for larping i guess. i wouldnt use it 🤷🏻‍♂️
game won't magically increase render distance

[pearl bolt]

and strangely many govt employees have nice homes and new cars.......

[knotty harness]

The Merchant ship in the game files has a crow's nest, but it's curiously located on the bowsprit for some reason

[abstract aspen]

iirc the swamp has patrolling enemies that can definitely surprise you

[glossy moth]

Those hunters man.. sneakers they are

[remote heath]

lol no need to be butthurt or whatever. It's just edgelord cringe to be all like "I never make mistakes, I'm perfectly in control, nothing ever surprises me"

[tepid apex]

Oh 100%, We have had multiple contractor agencies come into the yard over the years, For things like Painters, Cable Pullers, Shot blasters, And they last a few months before they pull the contract due too funding issues, Ministry of Defence and BAE just throw wads of cash at eachother and nothing ever gets done with it

[stark terrace]

I mean, the patrolling enemies are always in the same spots

[glossy moth]

please tell me we aren't talking politics?

[random sleet]

I give solid advice, you are edgy and act superior we are not the same.

[tepid apex]

Shipyard antics, not politics ;D

[abstract aspen]

they blend in so well

[remote heath]

You've memorized all island layouts? Or, you've marked where every forest patrol is? You'd barely be able to see the island on the map for all the markers lol

[glossy moth]

Carry on! 🫡

[real steeple]

Wtf. I just wasted gold because they decided to allow you to be able to purchase the same building set multiple times

[stark terrace]

That's how I grinded my 200 crocodile kills, they're always in the same spots

[knotty harness]

Time to load a backup from before you did that

[remote heath]

Well yeah you mark the plague crocs. That's different

[abstract aspen]

if you already purchased something there's an icon on it :)

[glossy moth]

definitely a skills issue. There's an icon in the menu that shows you how many times you've bought that plan.

[pearl bolt]

piracy and politics go together like cheese and pickle

[quartz lantern]

Cut down all the trees, you can easily spot the enemies and respawning resources...

[compact quail]

u wouldn't memorize them all

[stark terrace]

Nono... I marked everything

[pearl bolt]

when u get truffles, whisle him up to stand guard while u resource grind, it saves a bit o time

[stark terrace]

That and I leveled every swamp tree my frigate guns could hit

[glossy moth]

How big is the mod team overall? Curious.

[pearl bolt]

tallest is 6.2 i believe

[remote heath]

That's so silly lmao why? Just run around and shoot stuff that you see. Idk man that's like crazy overkill to mark where like, a lone hunter is in the woods. I'd be annoyed having to see all those markers tbh.

[tepid apex]

you vs the guy she tells you not too worry about

[real steeple]

I thought it was how many they had in thier inventory or something. I feel like it wouldn't have been hard to just zero it out but w/e I'm just mad

[random sleet]

you dont obviously

[abstract aspen]

I'm definitely the dwarf in the group

[glossy moth]

@abstract aspen i only ask because we've been looking at your voice channels in awe (we being the mod team from another game), and thinking to ourselves that trying to moderate voice channels of this size is ... well.. enough that we decided not to use voice channels. Was curious if you have a staff to actually moderate what's going on down there or if it's the wild wild west.

[stark terrace]

The Swamp isnt that hard

[compact quail]

why would they sell u stuff that they don't have any in inventory?

[grizzled mural]

I love this game. Thank you

[remote heath]

correct, it's very easy. Which is why I'm puzzled that you need to mark every single enemy on the map

[tepid apex]

You sometimes see mods sit in the VC Muted, Just stalking their prey

[pearl bolt]

no not the wild west, the open seas aarrggghhh

[glossy moth]

https://giphy.com/gifs/JNKy9CJSsCmiY

[abstract aspen]

a little bit of both. we jump in from time to time and chill there. users usually let us know when something is going on

[green flare]

What happens if I lie to arnaud?

[random sleet]

I mark many things on my map, spice locations, tortuga ingots, mines, trees. Are you doing nothing ingame?

[compact quail]

mods are scared to talk in vc

[queen lion]

The mini map would be terrible if they made them purple.

Marking the gold, silver, and tumbaga farms isn't a bad idea.

[stuck hull]

What's up

[glossy moth]

nice... Well done. Server is laid out well. Folks seem well managed. I see the bots doing their dirty work. Tell the team thanks for the hard work. it's tough being a moderator sometimes. And it can be a thankless job. 🙂

[stark terrace]

Because I was on a mission to max out and ascend everything and I wasnt messing around

[remote heath]

Can you spot the difference between marking POI and rare materials vs marking every normal enemy on the island?

[pearl bolt]

i gotta say this is one of the best behaved game servers ive ever been on tbh

[deep meteor]

Yo Anyone have 20 corn seed? i need it for my final build asap

[random sleet]

what if those monsters give materials you want, they do respawn there?

[abstract aspen]

not sure how many we really are tho.

7-10 i think

[queen lion]

[remote heath]

Just run around, you'll run into everything that way super fast.

[knotty harness]

Not for free; they've got strict moderation.

[glossy moth]

Sounds about right. we have about 10 for a 175K discord.

[deep meteor]

i didnt unlock that yet and i have tooked all the corns on the island i can access right now

[pearl bolt]

shame the online players arent as friendly imo.

[random sleet]

besides it their map, let them do whatever its not really our place to correct that

[glacial cove]

Monsters won’t respawn if they’re in bonfire radius. That’s the only thing to keep in mind. Otherwise things respawn pretty quick.

[compact quail]

[queen lion]

You haven't gotten a lvl 1 reputation with the People of Tortuga?

[tepid apex]

God forbid you mention ||PVP || or || Ground Combat|| The server turns into a free for all

[topaz drum]

how much rocks do you think it would take to cover the whole island with foundation?

[stark terrace]

You'll also aggro everything, which is the problem you kept stating as to why you think waiting 8s for Sniper's Focus is too much

[remote heath]

Yeah I don't have an issue with the excessive map marking other than that it's puzzling. But when it comes to the math of damage numbers, there's a way to min/max that. And it's fine to have a disagreement about it.

[knotty harness]

Ground Combat PVP

[gusty night]

anyone got a hosting they can recommend?

[remote heath]

And lucky for me, bc I go with Bullet Storm, that will never be a problem for me. It would be a problem if I used Sniper's Focus

[glossy moth]

PVP experiences are where the real toxcity in games begins when it comes to social platforms. It has definitely turned me off from PvP in general for sure.

[subtle blade]

Why would you volunteer yourself to such suffering?

[random sleet]

no i agree with you

[cyan veldt]

Dunno about that I have seen loads in here over the months I have been here

[tepid apex]

Im a huge advocate for not PVP, But a Friendly Fire Toggle, I would like the option too get upto shenanigans with my friends, Regardless of how "balanced" things are for PVP.

[glossy moth]

I mean there's always going to be that guy or gal.

[stark terrace]

Right... Total "Must-have"

[compact quail]

no, it he better because the number is higher
higher number > lower number

[remote heath]

You're not listening. Bullet Storm > Sniper Focus because 1) it gives +10% more damage over Focus, 2) You don't have to hold focus - so you're free to run and dodge, 3) You can take down groups more easily, 4) you can respond to surprises efficiently without losing your bonus

[abstract aspen]

I'm so ready to build a fighting pit and knock em out

[pearl bolt]

pvp is like s and m , some people just like the pain and as long as im not forced to watch or take part i dont care.

[stuck hull]

Might be a good thing have you seen what the pvp rust community is like

[glossy moth]

Controlled PVP is great. I think V Rising did a great job of providing that control but also limiting it.

[tepid apex]

I got a boxing ring under my bar just waiting for some fist-a-cuffs

[remote heath]

Oh and 5) by the time you've fully charged your first shot I've killed 4 targets. There's literally no benefit in taking Focus over Bullet Storm

[glossy moth]

RUST can literally go diaf.

[glacial cove]

I’d just use my shovel to build an unclimbable sand castle and constantly raise it. I’d be INDESTRUCTIBLE NO ONE CAN TOUCH ME THE SANDMAN

[stuck hull]

Diaf?

[topaz drum]

I wonder if anyone has tried to make a giant bridge between islands before?

[compact quail]

this games combat is 0 suited for pvp
ranged with a chargeup
melee has infinites parries
user with more riposte points wins
the stupid rapier will win if you hit once and run away
too many stamina to have ranged be useful in any way
blunderbuss knockback or melee knockback is an instant death
etc.

[queen lion]

Personal play style would be a reason.

[glossy moth]

Oh I wasn't supporting PvP in this game.. we were talking in generalities.

[stuck hull]

Conan exiles pvp is TOXIC LIKE ACID TOXIC

[remote heath]

We're talking math here man. And efficiency. Both of us are. There's actual objective facts in play, it's not some subjective "do what you like" thing. I mean, yeah do that - but don't pretend like a worse skill is better than an actually better skill

[queen lion]

Skill issue

[quartz lantern]

Whoever spots the other first, with a musket, will win...

[compact quail]

just generally explaining

[knotty harness]

I like how all it takes is one person mentioning the Certain Topics behind spoiler tags and here we are.

[torn lark]

This is another reason why PVP is a bad idea. You get people who talk about competitive game meta and toxicity toward people with a different preferred style of play quickly.

[tepid apex]

PVP implies that there is some sort of focus on players killing eachother, And that in turn brings a whole slew of problems, Melee Weapon Balanace, Gun Balanace, Ship Balance, Aswell as making sure it also works in PVE, Its a whole load of work for a game that as made with PVP not in mind for the most part - But a toggle on/off Friendly fire would give people the option Without putting extra work/stress on the Devs by forcing them too try balance out everything

[stuck hull]

Sounds like you should be playing Conan exiles ego will disappear real quick

[fresh jetty]

Would This game run on a rog Xbox ally

[vital sky]

would be nice if we could change the colours of outfits

[queen lion]

Negative, it will only get worse

[random sleet]

even if they did allow pvp they would probably balance as WoW balances player damage vrs monster damage to make it fair, if it even happens

[green flare]

looks like tortuga is getting some remodelling done

[stuck hull]

You've never been in a real server then it's ALWAYS a bigger fish

[queen lion]

Between which talents/weapons pairings are you two using?

[cyan veldt]

They just need to keep PvP separate from PvE. I think it will be added at some point, as the devs said that if they made money from sales, which they have, they’d be able to hire more developers and maybe look into adding PvP in the future.

[mighty sequoia]

I know I bought the upgrade to hull bracing and boarding party, is that upgrade on the Shipwright workshop or a create?

[hazy lance]

as a game dev friend of ours said:

[knotty harness]

That doesn't really mean their ego won't get worse.

[remote heath]

This game doesn't need PvP. It needs more world bosses. Not the progression bosses at the end of each chapter - random big bois you accidentally run into randomly on an island

[queen lion]

Ofc there's always a bigger fish, it would be arrogant to not know this. It's not about the size of the fish that matters.

[glossy moth]

The real issue is that ||people use spoilers because no one can resist clicking on this to read it, so it stands out more and more people will read this. If you're reading this. I see you. I SEE YOU||

[glacial cove]

Lmao I built sand walls all around every faction entrance on a guys server once. He enjoyed it while this other guy cursed me in German

[stuck hull]

Getting steam rolled humbles you

[tepid apex]

More money doesnt always mean more staff - Look at Valheim for example, they have purposely kept the team small, So that the vision of the game stays in the right direction

[compact quail]

ships are also like ridiculously imbalanced for pvp

[potent stump]

This is me when PVP is mentioned

[winter peak]

it's bad enough you can unknowingly have your stuff broadsided by your friend who didn't know about building destruction but to have pvp or server raids?

no

[knotty harness]

Maybe it humbles you, but other people react differently. It certainly wouldn't humble me.

[stark terrace]

Except 1.) it's less damage on every shot before the last stack 2.) Not Wasting Ammo means I get to use the good ammo which is more damage 3.) The only time groups are an issue is when you bumble into them and even then you can conga line pretty much everything 4) If you just pay attention to your surroundings and take your time..
You dont get surprised.

[mighty sequoia]

Kinda play this because I'm not a fan of PVP and I think the Dev's aren't really either.

[remote heath]

Bullet Storm > Sniper Focus because 1) it gives +10% more damage over Focus, 2) You don't have to hold focus - so you're free to run and dodge, 3) You can take down groups more easily, 4) you can respond to surprises efficiently without losing your bonus. 5) by the time you've fully charged your first shot I've killed 4 targets. There's literally no benefit in taking Focus over Bullet Storm

[cyan veldt]

Well it's what one of the Dev's said, not me. Also every company is different.

[olive ermine]

Lets forget PVP and remember that many system, mainly ground combat, needs extensive fixing

[tepid apex]

Well your friend blowing up your stuff is a 1 time experience, As once they do it, they learn they can, and dont do it again, If they DO choose to do it agian, thats not the games issue, thats your friends

i just want fun pirate world without pvp, it's why i ran off SOT in the end

[stark terrace]

And even then, bullet storm is good... It's just not the "must-have" you claim it is

[queen lion]

The predictability of the AI pathfinding really makes both have value. Once you know your distance you can easily aim and walk backwards. There's a musket that lets you keep the reticle small.

But the +10 damage is useful, what firearms are you two comparing though.

[broken pewter]

pvp doesn’t need to be in every game

[hazy lance]

Different game. Pretty sure we don't know any of the KE fellows.

[olive ermine]

yeah but PVP guys are basing their expectations on what? Nothing really. Game advertises as PVE ADVENTURE- so imo, we should just move along.

[compact quail]

But you will get banned and reported to the police if you kill someone in arc raider

[remote heath]

Focus gives you +7% every two seconds. That means you have to wait 2 seconds to get the first +7%. I, on the other hand, can fire immediately and get +9% damage. I'm already outpacing you. Then, you're up to +14% on the 4th second -- but I'm already at 18% then. 6th second, you're at +21% and I'm at +27%. Finally you're at +28% and I'm sitting pretty at +36% damage at that same point in time. Every tick of your bonus increasing, I'm already ahead of you in damage.

[ornate pecan]

if theres pvp it should just be a separate game mode, idk why everyone thinks pvp NEEDS to be open world and thrust upon people who dont want pvp lmao, are people stupid?

[compact quail]

ah yeah, windrose TDM

[hoary tulip]

I declare, it's good to be here!

[random sleet]

just puts you into the killer category no bans required

[torn lark]

Arc Raiders is a primarily PVP game with PVE encounters, and it drew the toxic PVP sweats tired of curb stomping Tarkov scavs and Fortnite kids.

[winter peak]

i just want good feng shui in my tower

[ornate pecan]

i think itd be cool to have ship pvp 🤷‍♂️ sue me nerd

[green flare]

my goal is to set up a "base" in tortuga somehow

[broken pewter]

its a co op game so its just like a single player story but with friends, its not built or meant to have pvp

[candid iron]

Multiple option poll, what if we vote for everything

[stuck hull]

You can become the best but you gotta learn tricks you can't keep repeating the same strategy you gotta mix it up even if you don't wanna call it being humbled if your forced to reevaluate to succeed you've been humbled because you realize you can't make it go your way

[ornate pecan]

i would like open world pve tho so people can stumble upon other players islands and check them out (without being able to break or steal obvsly)

[remote heath]

and secondly, you keep mentioning "wasted shots." No dude. I don't need any damage buff to one shot crocs, hunters, and normal dudes. I take just 1-2 of those out and I'm one shotting most everything else. I'm not putting two bullets into a target, it's virtually always just one bullet. There's no waste, at all.

[olive ermine]

a bit harsh but the answer is =yes

[knotty harness]

Welp, now that the beast is awake:

Is Atlas a genuinely bad game or something? Like, is it truly objectively awful? If someone needs PvP in their Pirate Crafting Survival Adventure Game, isn't Atlas literally just right there?

[edgy saddle]

Sup folks, check #│discord-news

[glacial cove]

Yeah if someone steals my rum there’s gonna be hell to pay

[mild finch]

will changing my system time affect the time a delivery takes? is there any way to skip or speed it up?

[winter peak]

that'd be cool liek proc gen a random island with a build

[random sleet]

if you ultimately succeed when it was supposed to be impossible to do so then youve probably developed a skill for that, otherwise you can quit and check what youre doing wrong:)

[broken pewter]

instead of a party and chest protection system why not just make a key and a lock for chests

[torn lark]

Honestly I'm just surprised the game didn't include even virgin Lime in De Coconuts. Perfect recipe waiting to happen.

[candid iron]

Just do like palworld, add pvp but doesn't balance the game around pvp

[ornate pecan]

damn palworld mentioned in 2026

[viscid jasper]

meh just craft more ships and store your loot there if you want it locked away from others

[olive ermine]

bigger chest and stacks sizes EZ.

[glacial cove]

Could do it like fallout 76 does it. You can lock it up but they have a very challenging minigame to try and break into the chest

[compact quail]

we can't let bigger stacks win guys. vote for farming!!!

[candid iron]

You can one shot anyone in there and they already said they won't balance the game for pvp

[winter peak]

or and here me out, we replace the pvp with...

wall decor because my walls REALLY need some love

[stark terrace]

Look man, I'm not gonna concede, you're not gonna concede... This is gonna go nowhere so... I'm just gonna agree to disagree and let you make claims about must-have talents when basically all the T3 talents are good outside deadly hunter

[broken pewter]

weapon mounts

[stuck hull]

Yeah but to succeed in a impossible situation you have to be humbled to reevaluate high difficulty games humble you egos come into play when there's no challenge and nothing to stop you from doing something the way you want to do it

[hazy lance]

For more foodstuffs without even more duplicate effects... maybe bonuses that are mixed?
Instead of 5, 10, 20 to one stat... how about 5/5, 5/10 or 10/10 to two stats?

[queen lion]

Deadly hunter is the best

[winter peak]

you sonofa i'm in

[glossy moth]

I really haven't had that many issues with the stack sizes. If I were to be picky, bandages to 20 (not 10), and food/potions that are 15 minutes should be 20 stack size and 30 minute food/potions stays at 10.

[remote heath]

Fair enough, agree to disagree as far as personal preference go. Regarding the math, though, it's not mathing for you if you're coming at it from an angle of damage scaling or time-cost efficiency.

[knotty harness]

So are the weapon mounts - in the game files, that is

[stark terrace]

It's alright, all the other t3s are more reliable

[torn lark]

I feel like you have an easy enough time just dedicating a 3X5 large panel pantry to general storage. The real problem is the relative frustration of not having snap placement for farming crops

[raven dagger]

Forgot i wanted player written signs lol glad can vote on more than one thing, base defence baby woooo

[green flare]

just found out i can build inside the barrier

[candid iron]

People not voting for blueprint system but bigger stack size instead is wild

[queen lion]

The other t3s don't shine compared to deadly hunter 🙂‍↔️

[kindred hedge]

sorta like valhiem, but is there any way to carve out paths in windrose?

[glossy moth]

Yes, snap or farm grid please.

[turbid briar]

why tf do enemy have aimbot ships

[cyan veldt]

COD players

[stuck hull]

Didn't you vote for stack size?

[stark terrace]

Until you get several kills and it doesn't proc

[topaz drum]

I hope future update includes the part where when you made a whole you don't die from getting stuck hahaha I thought I could make a hole and build in it

[raven dagger]

Meh blueprints, i dont really need them in my builds

[queen lion]

If you not killing things in 1 hit then whatcha doing

[glossy moth]

The shovel does disrupt the ground if you "level it".. might be worth exploring.

[candid iron]

I voted for all of them because for some reason they made multi selection

[remote heath]

hmmmmmm actually. Why not both Focus and Bullet Storm? What were we even arguing about, that's clearly the winning combo.

[hazy lance]

we'd rather have stack sizes earlier than blueprints.

[worthy schooner]

~ I am a little late on the response but I am so glad this game is not PVP

[stuck hull]

I can't vote multiple

[raven dagger]

Chest and stack size are just the modders votes lol

[queen lion]

I'll give you three stacks of iron if you change your mind again

[candid iron]

But if only one choice it would be blueprint system instead of something you can easily mod

[cyan veldt]

[spice bridge]

https://tenor.com/view/ishowspeed-speed-crying-cry-sad-gif-3971777458639425020

[stuck hull]

Thankfully no pvp

[stark terrace]

You can go either, I know Blunderbuss' can't do both cuz they really want overpen

[knotty harness]

I would like for stack sizes in chests to be like 50% bigger and stack sizes in ships to be 75-100% bigger but that's me

[candid iron]

Unlike the blueprint system that you can't easily mod

[turbid briar]

Ship combat and maneuvrability are way too bad for that

[raven dagger]

Id say you can mod stack size as easy as anything lol, there is already one

[cyan veldt]

It will be one day, you watch

[knotty harness]

Stack size mods are also the most dangerous ones with the highest risk of savegame corruption

[stark terrace]

I like Bullet Storm on Pistols tho

[pearl bolt]

windrose will benefit from a few large mmo servers eventually imo. its got everything it needs for it gamewise.

[hazy lance]

not everyone wants to mod their game.

[remote heath]

No I'm saying both. If you have bullet storm AND hold focus for 8 seconds, suddenly you have +64% damage

[raven dagger]

Yeah me included....? Im saying stack size and blueprints are low priority

[candid iron]

Not really, inventory slots is what corrupt saves, stack size all it will do is delete anything beyond the vanilla stack size

[rancid sierra]

If I'm rolling against the last boss, I want overpen. 99.9% of the rest of the time, mobs don't stack up behind eachother, they spread.

[remote heath]

All on the reliable musket

[torn lark]

I can see having stack size multipliers as a difficulty modifier, but we desperately need more farming QOL

[quartz lantern]

Not to mention, it might be on console after EA, where modding is not an option

[stark terrace]

Yeah, you could... But there aren't a lot of talent points, so you're kinda having to chose that over other talents

[delicate furnace]

yeah can go like this

[stuck hull]

Not even that I just want one survival game where I'm not getting doxed for greifing a player that killed my pets because they were trying to steal and didn't expect consequences

[abstract aspen]

looking at what mods people use is a great way to see what they want the most. (not counting inappropriate atuff ofc)

[pearl bolt]

ill only mod a game when its 100% complete and no further gameplay on the horizon.

[remote heath]

True but there aren't any other damage talents that scale as good as Focus or Bullet Storm

[turbid briar]

The bots with autoaim already do that tho

[quartz lantern]

Kind of need that fast reload...

[olive ermine]

always the case. except the cannons of .... questionable design

[daring gate]

Can i somehow get plague pistol ?

[rancid sierra]

Well, they want that TOO. :p

[candid iron]

With caveats since you want things that can't or doesn't have a mod yet

[winter peak]

if you got the mats i got the blueprint

[raven dagger]

Modding to make games easier is something i dont understand but i also dont mod so it doesnt affect me, go for it

[quartz lantern]

Dont think modders have gotten to the inappropriate stuff yet, just QoL stuff atm

[glossy moth]

Yeah, at it's core, I am a game purist. I want to experience the game, especially on first playthroughs, as the game developers wished it to be played. No mods. no nothing. Straight up vanilla. Once the first playthrough is done, I'll consider some mods, but even then, I play with limited mods. Which is funny, considering i'm actually a modder for games. But man, when I see people using 300+ mods in Valheim.. I'm like..

[cold flume]

With clothes for the monkey !

[remote heath]

Yep, 3/3 faster active reload is required IMO. Along with the Reliable Musket which is innately faster to reload than other firearms

[daring gate]

from someoneoh, how did u get it ? what the mats ?

[crude onyx]

i found cayenne ||pepper seeds, but it hasnt been marked off in my discovery page. is that a common bug?||

[abstract aspen]

i did see people ask for coconut sliders

[green flare]

FELLAS. . . I managed to get a tent inside the barreir XD but i cant access it...

[hazy lance]

not everything you can find is in the discovery list

[candid iron]

We need that and butt slider

[stuck hull]

Not as bad as players pulling ips which on Conan exiles is easy apparently me and my whole clan got our routers reset but dudes who could handle consequences

[pearl bolt]

mind u, modding has saved bethesda from oblivion before, pardon the pun

[topaz drum]

I'll just have to improve on building first as I am bad a symmetry

[olive ermine]

Skyrim is one of the worst games ever made, but its popular cus its just a mod loader

[crude onyx]

ah

[turbid briar]

That being possible is just L development

[broken pewter]

i wish we could build in our ships, imagine having captains quarters

[winter peak]

3rd area had to look aroudn in the area ... huh i can't craft it

[daring gate]

@winter peak dm ?

[cold flume]

look for another way around 😉

[delicate furnace]

I'm more on this build since I use Dragon's breath

[knotty harness]

Pepper seeds are not part of the discoveries, only the actual peppers

[raven dagger]

They tried it, didn't go well

[hazy lance]

People will always want the inappropriate stuff.

[rancid sierra]

All these food and drink options, but for some reason my character doesn't know how to put the Lime in the Coconut, and shake it all up.

[olive canyon]

they spoke on this during the Demo - they wanted/want to have ships be able to take base assets like chests, but the sea physics werent cooperating

maybe we'll see something in the future though, they're certainly aware that folks want to decorate their ships

[turbid briar]

Or if they could not face inward to the coast on spawn, or f off to nowhere on relog

[daring gate]

you got it for trade ?

[glossy moth]

Bethesda has no clue how to hire UI/UX engineers.. Starfield was a major let down because of it's piss poor UX and inventory system. God bless the modders that improved that.. but also it's a AAA studio.. not indie. my cat can build better UX than Bethesda.

[wooden carbon]

Anyone else getting disconnected randomly from the servers atm?

[broken pewter]

no mans sky did it
a roblox game even did it

[winter peak]

not trade no i need it for my build but i thought i could craft it

No Man's Skyrim, I mean, Starfield, was a letdown because it's still rocking the same thirty year old Gamebryo engine that Oblivion used. >.>

[winter peak]

[pearl bolt]

we have kinda got quarters on the larger ships tbh, just a shame we cant customise them

[tall lodge]

I read that as “butter” and thought yesss until I reread it 😂😂

[lofty rock]

Where do you get dragons breath? Foothills or swamp?

[stuck hull]

Whoa whoa whoa No way you just said that

[stark terrace]

You should generally always be critting with guns

[ornate pecan]

im cool with having pre-made ships but i do wish you could customize them somewhat, have some crafting stations on board etc, maybe change the style up

[torn lark]

The internet is really really great!~
I have a fast connection so I don't have to wait!~

[remote heath]

[glossy moth]

yeah at this point, i've started calling Valheim a "Framework" for others creating other games. Maybe they will release this decade.

[rancid sierra]

I can't even CATCH the nanny goats, and now you want to milk them for butter? Madness. :p

[broken pewter]

skyrim is so overrated

[remote heath]

I haven't used the blunderbuss so I wasn't sure if there was a firing pattern or spread that made it crit less reliably is all

[pearl bolt]

dyu know im nearly 60 and ive never tried goat or yak butter, where have been all these years.

[broken pewter]

my bad for not wanting to spend 60 bucks or whatever on a game that’s only good with mods

[remote heath]

I'm sure it is lol. I'll have to try it. All the same though, I'm partial to these 9k crits

[hazy lance]

The first time Skyrim was new, it was pretty great.

[raven dagger]

Is it like charging boar?

[glossy moth]

Boarding getting easier is all about upgrading your Boarding Gear.

[olive ermine]

I didn't just say it. Its a stain on Elder Scrolls and a stain on what "RPG" should be. Skyrim is, without trying to insult anyone, a normie's first baby rpg-lite. The story is bad, there are 3 voice actors, quests are generic mmo trash, player has no agency and you can perfect any skill by abusing broken codes and bugs. Yes. Skyrim is one of the worst games ever made

[ornate pecan]

if you give it a year the game will probably be much better... enshrouded had a similar, somewhat underwhelming launch and turned out really good

[quartz lantern]

Goat Chese, is quite common, but not sure about Goat Butter

[glossy moth]

Pretty much yeah

[stuck hull]

It was good before mods what do you mean I just been able to play mods recently after I got I PC I have 1400 hrs on the Xbox 369 version

[pearl bolt]

i used to think like you, then i took an arrow to the knee.....

[broken pewter]

so true

[delicate furnace]

its spread isn't as wide as I though it would. the weird thing about it really is that it does have a bigger circle but its also easier to head shot with it. atleast since you are fighting in less than 10m range

[green flare]

fellas... its janky but it might work

[deep rampart]

I know it would tank most of our computers, but there should be a lot more smoke during cannon fire and musket fights

[broken pewter]

[crude onyx]

finally finished all discoveries and bosses 💪🏻

[rancid sierra]

Skyrim was perfectly balanced with no exploits.
And now comes with the Creation Club for paid mods. >.>

[torn lark]

pretty sure you can make goat butter in the process of making goat cheese. Butter comes from the whey and cheese comes from the curds after relentless shaking or churning of the required milk.

[stark terrace]

Yeah Blunderbuss basically headshots super easy... Just not from very far

[deep rampart]

Good thing we make homemade smokeless powder

[glossy moth]

I could be a simp, so I guess take this with a grain of salt, but Enshrouded, at the time, had a very smooth EA entry and I think they've done a great job at communication and achieving their road map. IMHO, totally different games, and what Keen did with their custom, built-from-the-ground up voxel game engine is nothing short of a feat. Windrose, imho, had an even smoother EA entry than Enshrouded, and I feel like that's saying something.

How? It basically removes all the fallout gameplay from fallout. Has no real dialogue option or choices, and it's lead writer said he literally doesn't care about the story(which is his job) because "Players are gonna take your writing and make paper planes"

[rancid sierra]

4 had no Object Permenance. Each quest was it's own self contained thing that had absolutely no consequence outside of itself, and didn't tie into the next quest. Nothing you did mattered.

[olive ermine]

we are all psychic here and we know at least 6months

[umbral yarrow]

no, itsll be a blackbeard outpost in one of the fist islands

[quartz lantern]

Not seen items go missing. Did you use them to make copper?

[stark terrace]

So besides the gunplay (which is literally just due to it being on a better game engine)... What did it do better?

[broken pewter]

just enjoy the game and play what there is and before you know it ashlands will be here

[stuck hull]

Alright my game is installed so how does this work is there a dedicated server or are there multiple

[hollow grove]

Please anyone? 🙁

[pallid nacelle]

I use some but I had a bunch of in a chest and when I went to go make more ignots they were gone 😭

[olive ermine]

my masive island wont build itself

[summer mountain]

oh i see tysm

[quartz lantern]

Did you take the ration into account? Its not 1:1

[viral stirrup]

Dedicated servers are player ownednand you would need to know the person that has it to play, otherwise its peer hosted co op

[wispy spruce]

It's like terraria. You create a character, and you create a solo world. Characters can carry over between worlds

[rancid sierra]

It had larger stretches of desolate hellscape that didn't have any quests or items in it to really sell the fact that the wasteland is terrible. :p

[broken pewter]

some of the best lines out of any game

[native totem]

When can we expect the Ashland???

[topaz drum]

ashes ?

i really like the world in general. you have stuff happening or being everywhere. i did like the base system even though defending it was very... barebones. i liked the companions and their stories more. i liked that it was in general more difficult. 3 and nv are reeeeeeeeeeeeeeally easy.
i liked the survival mode a lot. power armors were cooler. the general customization of guns was cool and i didn't think the story was bad.
it also has a lot of baller sidequests
i think f4 is best played in survival with very minor tweaks like "save without sleeping for an hr in bed"

[pallid nacelle]

You know what I didn’t now that I think about I barely started playing it last night , so possibly I didn’t

[stuck hull]

So no grand open servers like Ark survival

[olive ermine]

your words are poetry of truth

[lusty meteor]

I want a pistol brace, with 6 or more pistols so you can just blast.

[glossy moth]

https://giphy.com/gifs/angeles-bachcaps-bearfighting-RFDXes97gboYg

[lusty meteor]

more pistols.

[broken pewter]

that was a real battle strategy and it’s cool but it should be locked to late game maybe

[stuck hull]

I want a sword with a pistol on it like Cervantes in soul caliber

[compact quail]

now i would still claim that the modern beth games are still baller. skyrim is more shallow than morrowind, but still baller, and so is f4. now starfield is generally seen as a stinker. idk. never touched it. but probably would enjoy it cause i am blessed with "never encounter bethesda jank in bethesda games" blessing, and oblivion... i don't like and dc about

[green flare]

That would be so unbelievably bad because of how reloading works.

[fierce ridge]

What silly ways are you playing?

[stark terrace]

That's basically the reliable pistol

[compact quail]

have you heard about that guy named jesus?

[olive ermine]

Gunsword from Final Fantasy

[winter peak]

you mean like getting shot through the chest, dying and come back to life, leaching health from enemies?

[broken pewter]

i feel like after you kill a boss they should drop their weapon or something and you should be able to unlock their abilities down the road with talent points

[broken pewter]

also we can respawn they can’t

[stuck hull]

No I don't find it odd

[stark terrace]

I don't think we need people doing Israel Hands' dash attack

[broken pewter]

you can literally cheese pretty much anything in the game by setting a tent near where you’re fighting and just going back over and over

[olive ermine]

down with genocidal pirate!

[stark terrace]

Orrrr.... Just don't die

[winter peak]

i have a gun which leeches health, a sword which does more damage the more i hit them with it and leeches health, we're already doing pretty impossible feats

[lusty meteor]

we came back from the dead, that's pretty mmm...

[stuck hull]

I took damage and drank coffee to fix it🤔🤔🤔

[eternal quartz]

Hey does the game have dedicated servers and a server browser? In that case whats the amount of players that can be on one server?

[winter peak]

i used a hammer to summon stone platforms and ran away from a (totally) realistic plague zombie

/joking

[remote heath]

hot take maybe, but there should be some kind of penalty for dying that's either permanent, or a bigger debuff that lasts longer. It really is too easy to just throw down a tent anywhere and keep beating your head against the wall until you plow through.

[stuck hull]

We can be thor?

[broken pewter]

don’t forget we literally have the power to change how much damage the enemies do and how much health they have by opening a settings menu

[compact quail]

i really don't think the player needs more powers. this would just make powercreep. remember, we still have atleast 2 biomes. they need to powercreep
and the plague stuff is already insanely powerful

[winter peak]

well not thor but we can build a barn

[lusty meteor]

What if you... don't throw down a tent?

Then your punishment is the sail back from home/run back from bell?

[untold dove]

Ah, we're high speed Amish

[topaz drum]

forget a barn why not castle

[rancid sierra]

We are John Fortnite.

[winter peak]

forget a castle why not ruins

[remote heath]

Or at the very least, 2-3 pieces of armor drop with the rest of the droppables.

[dry urchin]

i mean id like to see some kinda pirates of the carribean esque magic we can get access to like curse dolls n stuf at some point could be fun

[broken pewter]

the great part about it is that you don’t have to do the tent thing if you don’t want to

[stark terrace]

That said, if we eventually get a weapon that lets me do a command grab... That's now my weapon

[winter peak]

pirate wizard would go hard i won't lie

[remote heath]

But -- what if you did? What if you grabbed the what, 10 wood and 20 grass pieces and then just gained infinite lives trivializing any non-progression boss encounter?

[topaz drum]

ruin would be nice but we to do that we need something that removes water when we dig though

[stuck hull]

But pirate knight would be crazy or pirate barbarian

[somber wigeon]

if you dont like tent spam, dont place tents. there are those of us who need tent spam because we work 60hrs a week

[lofty rock]

[compact quail]

[glossy moth]

You got this!

[remote heath]

That's true - you don't have to do the tent thing. But then you're choosing to have a long run back if you didn't drop a fast travel point.

[olive ermine]

i would love to see if we could get "Dirty tactics" moves like throwing sand in eyes, or kicking enemies off balance

[broken pewter]

it’s your game play it how you want lol

[winter peak]

pocket sand

[somber wigeon]

better than forcing it on people who dont want to deal with tedious bs

[untold dove]

https://tenor.com/view/king-of-the-hill-dale-gribble-pocket-sand-pocket-sand-gif-3699662

[dry urchin]

i mean we can sorta do that now

[lusty meteor]

then that is a choice you can make, to trivalize the content.

just like someone is free to edit their world to set enemy health and damage to 20%.

[remote heath]

Yes, I'm not policing how anyone plays. I'm saying there should be some kind of death penalty so there actually feels like there's some kind of risk besides a long run back. That's all.

[tawny plover]

https://tenor.com/view/pocket-sand-dale-king-of-the-hill-gif-15251105

[winter peak]

but there's not a long run there's a ft point outside the area

[somber wigeon]

that would be policing how people play m8

[stark terrace]

Hell, if they gave me a Pistol that gave me the grenadier grenade throw as a special attack

[dry urchin]

hope we get some strength oriented ranged weapons at some point

[remote heath]

Yes, you can choose to do that. Whichever way you choose, the penalty should be there all the same.

[stuck hull]

What i mean by barbarian is be a pirate but use a hammer like im shao kahn

[broken pewter]

https://tenor.com/view/dissapointed-jesus-gif-2719916579483636737

[summer mountain]

accept me 🙂

[dry urchin]

im sure well get some two handed hammers n stuff at some point

[remote heath]

Wait hold on. You're saying that if dying had any sort of risk associated with it, that's policing how you play? lol what?

[olive ermine]

I also low key imagined Windrose getting rehauled as a full role-picking game. Like "Select a Class" kind of thing

[stark terrace]

There's a 2H club

[compact quail]

[winter peak]

if they do they need a height scaler i'd kill to be the 6'2 hammer brickhouse

[subtle dune]

For some reason, no matter how much I change on my graphical settings, Windrose still taking 100% of my CPU, any fixes?

duck foot guns would be fun,ive seen few were the center barrel is either a double flintlock or a blunderbuss

[stuck hull]

interesting i just installed and am trying to figure out how to join a server instead of being private so idk whats all in the game

[broken pewter]

i’d love to do a gunslinger build that isn’t just musket and run and musket again

[remote heath]

Here's another take, not so hot. Fishing in different types of ocean, or even different ocean level difficulties, should yield different kinds of fish.

[somber wigeon]

no, im not. you are being disingenuous. if you die while boarding you loose the loot, if you die while on land you drop inventory and have to fight your way back. you lose your buffs and food if you die. if you have a full time job this is more than enough penalty.

[untold dove]

Are you putting these in the proper suggestion area, or just here? @remote heath

[dry urchin]

a bandolier of pistols would be fun

[winter peak]

woe 4 reliable pistols

[remote heath]

Disingenuous? You're the one saying I'm trying to police game play when all I'm saying is add a bit of risk to dying lmao.

[reef elm]

Does anyone have succesful play with arboris sabre?

[glossy moth]

When you die while boarding, if you had inventory that was dropable, it'll be in a post-mortem crate that you can pick up. Not lost.

[stark terrace]

Because class based systems pigeonhole and lock you in to a specific play style, when a point buy system lets you "build-a-class" to play your own way

[dry urchin]

blowgun could be a fun odd weapon use different darts with various effects

[winter peak]

pirate queen of the harbour wishes they had two eyepatches after reading that

You mean here? https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfhtwO7TTX6jYURrNBXcvW-isKB4Pgi6ZAktzSHmDAPWZxa8g/viewform Yes I've provided feedback and suggestions

[somber wigeon]

no, the loof from the ship you are boarding. it is gone, you dont get it in your crate.

[compact quail]

lower difficulty

[ebon furnace]

It'd be cool if we could spend 100 insignias for a wall plaque of that insignia. I'm getting so many now after 4 rep on everyone and there's no use for em.

[somber wigeon]

actually, what @remote heath should do is raise the dificulty

[olive ermine]

I would argue we are pidgeon holed now too. IN a class - oriented system you would have more meaningfull power boost options. Imo

[glossy moth]

If you die in a boarding action, just go back and try it again.. the ship will continue to be there until it's destroyed/sunk.

[topaz drum]

https://giphy.com/gifs/reaction-christmas-evil-GLbiGvv9qrpny

[somber wigeon]

false, the ship goes away

[winter peak]

the lack of talent points and unlock tree does hamstring flexability

that's not been my experience

[broken pewter]

https://tenor.com/view/dissapointed-jesus-gif-2719916579483636737

[glossy moth]

i mean, i've died several times during boarding actions, so not sure what game you're playing.

Ship has always been there when I get back.

[rain idol]

sound like dwight schrut to my ears

[somber wigeon]

that was the refrence

[stark terrace]

That's just due to lack of points and T1 talents being kinda meh... I'm pretty sure once we get a level cap increase that won't be the case

[untold dove]

...Yikes. This took a turn.

[somber wigeon]

<@&1354821664998817822> this again

[chrome barn]

Didn't even think about that mate. Fair play. Saved me a lot of coin.

[broken pewter]

we got the funniest man alive over here everyone laugh.. hello is this thing on?

[remote heath]

I've died more to boarding than to anything else in the game bar none. And I beat the Swamp boss on first attempt without looking it up before the attempt. Boarding can get super silly, getting stuck on cannons or in a corner. Just 2 pirates on your butt can cut you down quick if you don't have a good amount of stamina boosting.

[olive ermine]

I find current talents lackluster, but this is MY OPINION. not factual fact

[winter peak]

the immortal pirate build shallrise again ... just once i get more talent points lol

[torn lark]

why are there people trying to make a minstrel show here?

[rancid sierra]

I'm still confused that we're in the Caribbean and there is no sugar cane. Only ancient cane sugar at the PoI.
But then again, I'm confused by the only bar in Tortuga not actually selling alcohol.

[winter peak]

people are building castles so maybe they're auditioning for the clown role in the castle?

[dry urchin]

maybe just not in the game yet?

[cloud juniper]

Hi everyone,
Can you tell me if the issue with dedicated servers is back to normal?

[remote heath]

On that note if anyone wants to trade me sugar cane, I can get that person whatever he needs (barring the magic ingot stuff). DM

[pulsar burrow]

Being 100% honest can someone tell me what the hype behind this game is cause I bought this instead of the black flag remake and the combat is such bare bones dog crap that I have severe buyers remorse.

[abstract aspen]

don't.

[stuck hull]

AS a black man this haD me ROLLING

[untold dove]

What issue?

[glossy moth]

Yeah it can get rough. I've learned that the crew fighting for me, fight better when i poke the guy a few times and then back off.. if you don't at least damage the enemies on the ship, your mates won't be successful.. so gotta poke/stab a few.

[broken pewter]

talents aren’t even talents, like why not a 2-handed talent that lets us dual wield or an athletic talent that lets us climb short ledges

[cloud juniper]

I used to get very buggy and lagged behind playing on the dedicated server.

[winter peak]

don't forget your ship is a mobile bonfire

[untold dove]

Thaaaaank you!

[remote heath]

Yeah my problem is that often my pokes don't get past my crewmates in front of me to reach the target. So I move forward out of position and then suddenly I draw aggro from 2 other pirates and now I'm getting my arse kicked

[olive ermine]

id wager just like in Enshrouded - Windroses current Talent Tree is a placeholder to be expanded and rebalanced right?

[winter peak]

did you fall out of rdr 2 due to a lack of money?

[untold dove]

We don't have that issue on our dedicated - 10 players, 20 gigs of ram, and everyone has been fine.
Might be specific to y'all.

[broken pewter]

i hope so because i’m getting sick of getting +6% pierce damage over and over

[winter peak]

i havethe stair cluster problem

[brittle geyser]

skill issue

[somber wigeon]

the dreaded stairs

[stuck hull]

wheres the # for the invite code

[olive canyon]

then return it - if its such dogwater then you're surely still within the return window

[remote heath]

Ohhh yeah, that too. I never bring weapon variety with me bc I want more room for loot so I stick with rapier... which is probably the worst weapon to have when fighting at different elevations

[broken pewter]

welcome to early access

[cloud juniper]

When did you launch your dedicated server?

[untold dove]

For the dedicated I host? It's a closed community.

[glossy moth]

Halbred and Rapiers work best in boarding actions has been my experience. but for Frigates, there's also a way to cheese them.. it's so bad. But so good. If you stand on the bow of the Frigate, infront of the fencing that has the cannons, the mobs can't attack you, but you can poke them. so I just grab a rapier with bleed and stand there for 10 minutes while i wait for 20 people to bleed out.

[olive ermine]

IF we stay vocal and more and more people are- Ground combat will be reworked. There is a lot of potential in Windrose but have patience, it will metamorph into something great- but will take time

[compact quail]

explain how it is barebones dog crap?

[stuck hull]

Ahhh ok

[pearl bolt]

well for the money u saved not buying a stale remake of an old regurgitated piece of shameless money grab, u could always buy something else.

[winter peak]

yup, i feel it too i usually just let the crew handle it

[main sleet]

wtf dude.. realy

[untold dove]

A bit over a week ago.

[pulsar burrow]

left click to attack right click to block (Which often doesn't work when I press it) where every enemey can kill you in 2 hits and you take 10 to kill them while also batttling a block system that is tied to stamina that I might add is a tiny AF bar is not a skill issue it's crap combat.

[stuck hull]

Anyone need a extra body in they spot

[lusty meteor]

People are starved for good pirate game, this is kinda like enshrouded + pirate ships, so it's decent enough.

• if you like building stuff, you can build a lot of stuff.

[remote heath]

That sounds like a fool proof way to win - and waste 10 minutes lol. I'll skip the Piastre bonus and just send the ship to the bottom of the sea with cannon fire tbh

[winter peak]

ok i have this WILD idea for ya have you tried...

armour

[glossy moth]

That 400 Paistre's is pretty good though.

[broken pewter]

just level up your gear bro, it’s not supposed to be easy

[somber wigeon]

i feel like they will make sergeants more eager to shoot to solve this. or just rely on it being so boring that people avoid it

[olive canyon]

...ngl it sounds like you've not spent the time to lvl your character or gear, nor learn the attack patterns of the enemies

[brittle geyser]

it's a skill issue because you expect a complete game when it's labeled EARLY ACCESS

[pulsar burrow]

yes I have I got the entire first set and anything level 3 or above can still one shot you

[lusty meteor]

Oh, you just have skill issue, try turning enemy health lower in world setting.

[subtle blade]

Actually sounds like a knowledge issue more than a skill issue

[olive ermine]

ground combat is uncooked mess mate. come on

[glossy moth]

they do try to shoot, but they keep hitting the fence/cannon.. it's a really bad cheese.

[broken pewter]

brain issue

[winter peak]

i... have never seen enemies one shot me with upgraded gear...

[compact quail]

1. block always work, parry
2. if you get your gear and build together and play on appropriate difficulty, you have no 2 hit deaths and 10 hit enemies
3. blocking is not tied to stamina you skill issue to parry
   your issue is u dont parry

[remote heath]

Yeah, true. But I mean, an hour massacring cultists in the swamp nets me craploads of piastre too via bone beads and rare artifacts. Plus I'm sitting on about 9k Piastre rn so I'm fine skipping the boarding atm

[pearl bolt]

has anybody ever watched real swordfighting or rapier and sabre fencing? u dot dance around like errol flynn, u go for the kill.

[pulsar burrow]

I don't care its early access if you release the game at 40 bucks I expect it to be 40 bucks worth of fun not a combat system freaking Grok could throw together in 20 ins.

[glossy moth]

That is also true.

[olive canyon]

each armor piece and weapon has its own Lvl - if your gear's Lvl is less than your enemy's Lvl, you will do less damage and receive more damage

[turbid spade]

Sounds like a skill issue lil bro

[broken pewter]

dudes just need instant dopamine and don’t have the patience to upgrade their gear and take their time

[winter peak]

it usually is the dopamine for me, especially cannoning ships

It's valheim with pirate paint, but it's also a lot less tedious and difficult.

What's the appeal of black flag? I've honestly never played a single assassin's creed game because stealth games usually aren't very fun for me

[brittle geyser]

lol turn down the difficulty. i have almost 70 hours in it. there's a reason the game is doing well. you and @olive ermine need to quit complaining and either refund it or turn down the difficulty

[dry pecan]

it was on sale fopr $27 and it's $30 now

[glossy moth]

Ship combat. That was the appeal.

[remote heath]

Ok that's why. Yeah I paid $27 then.

it had an introduction week sale bringing it down to $27, and it's $30 now. Canadian or Aussies have weaker dollars.

Skill issue is what people who simp for bad products say when they have no rebuttal to valid criticism. This is the most bare bones dog crap combat system I've ever seen and combat is the core of the game. They built a skyscraper on sand and your shocked I have complaints the building is sinking?

[brittle geyser]

then stop commenting

[broken pewter]

that’s not valid your whole criticism was just you saying how you kept dying

[olive canyon]

• the game isnt released, its in Early Access - that literally means it is unfinished
• you're not engaging with the combat system, you're only trying to brute force it - of course the combat system sucks when you ignore the mechanics
• the game wasnt even 40 bucks unless you got the supporter package, in which case you paid 10 bucks for the soundtrack and stuff which has nothing to do with the game
• even IF combat was as awful as you say, the game EASILY has more than 40 bucks worth of content in exploration and base building alone

[compact quail]

he said he will attack the game for as long as people defend it. he does it for the sport. just sayin'

[pearl bolt]

it wasnt £40, and how much is black flag resync btw?

[remote heath]

it's kind of funny that the workers you recruit to stay at your base are also always still at Tortuga

[torn lark]

You both have a point, but I'm not sure how long it'll take Steam's regional pricing/currency conversion to adapt

[brittle geyser]

yeah which is why he's getting blocked

[winter peak]

genuine question here, please don't take offense but is english your first language or did you get a cataract?

[turbid spade]

Sorry to break it to you but that is just you lil bro

[subtle blade]

If the majority of players do not feel the way you feel the main issue isn't the combat system.

(There may be some issues with combat, but combat is not THE issue.)

[dry pecan]

y'all just call it dog crap without ever elaborating on what makes that your opinion. just say you can't figure out the combat and move on

[untold oriole]

So when you say it's "barebones," what is it you think is missing from it?

All I'm gonna say about black flag reysinced is F Ubisoft

Hihi 🙂 gportal user here. I have 5 people (including myself) on a server slotted for 10. I did it on purpose to have extra cpu space and from what I’ve seen of other users, it makes a difference. They can’t connect, but we can and only experience occasional stuttering, my dad crashes occasionally, but he’s able to join back in. Most of the time, the latency happens on new areas or loading into places like tortuga for the first time in a session. That being said; it was super smooth before the update, so it’s a little sad.

[dry urchin]

also it just came out what last week into early access?

[remote heath]

Bro if the game is too hard for you, consider just running around with a Musket.

[deep rampart]

They came with you when you visit

[torn lark]

get blocked and ignored for eternity with your toxic near botty behavior.

[foggy sequoia]

i see someone getting mad bcuz of can't spam combat button BRUH

[pearl bolt]

i mean ubi have made millions from black flag, yet they arent giving the resync away to owners of the original are they?

[remote heath]

hmmmmmmmmmmmmm..... it's easier to think that the devs just didn't code them to disappear from Tortuga lol. But yeah sure, for RP I guess you could say that

[lusty meteor]

it doesn't have triple-a smexy combat animations like black flag

[timid crescent]

lol another crybaby can't figure out the fighting, sad they blame their skill issues on the game instead of learning how easy it actually is to fight in this game

[compact quail]

we had a somewhat major argument yesterday where he made some wild claims about the game. i uploaded videos showing these claims are wrong. his rebuttal was that i am insane, not that he is wrong

[somber wigeon]

what lvl are you, because you are still getting creamed by boars it seems like you dont have enough experience to make valid criticisms. lvl your gear health and endurance stats and eat food is all i can say.

[winter peak]

it needs stand there wait perfect parry instant kill 75 guys kind of combat (i love ac but damn the combat..)

[ruby thicket]

You forgot the power attack by pressing middle mouse wheel.

[broken pewter]

just lil kids when they can’t click super fast to kill things, same thing happened when minecraft came out with 1.9 combat

[compact quail]

he also forgot parrying and dodging

[timid crescent]

I don't even use that, it's very easy to use dash to dodge once or twice in a fight to avoid being hit a bunch

[pearl bolt]

'sow'er grapes

[ruby thicket]

Ctrl to dash back, sides, or forward as well.

[olive ermine]

Use feedback in the main menu of the game. Leave feedback why you strongly dislike ground combat and considering they are focused on quality we gotta wait for them to touch up on it. Disregard the rest 🙂

[dry urchin]

i just hear someone who doesnt understand this game only recently came out into early access and doesnt understand early access games come in all sortsa states of developement at launch as if things might not get rowroked or something or other stuff added

[winter peak]

man i remember ea enshrouded

[glossy moth]

There's simply nothing in this game for folks to get their knickers in a bind. Be kind to each other y'all.

[torn lark]

It is a valid excuse since it takes a little longer to code a crew member being instanced depending on whether you're a player that hired them or not. If there's a player that did and a player that didn't, it causes potential desync issues of their position

[compact quail]

also also he forgot upgrading gear in this progression and gear driven game, just saying. its the main part of the progression, you MUST upgrade your gear

[stuck hull]

games amazing so far

[untold oriole]

I have no idea what black flag combat is like

[ruby thicket]

Also later one you get special units that you need to focus on or else you get blasted away lol

[subtle blade]

Wow, ya'll are brutal. 🤣

[pearl bolt]

'sow'er grapes

[remote heath]

anyone know where I can find the hireable cook?

[somber wigeon]

lol

[weak rapids]

which weapontypes have variants with "increades crit chance"?

[dry urchin]

fair i just see alot of teh same kinda stuff in alotta early access games comments like people dont get these are games in all sortsa states when they come out

[deep rampart]

If I can survive the fights anyone can (I upgrade my gear)

[dry pecan]

buccaneers camp

[stuck hull]

malo

[compact quail]

no. half. measures.
the priestess will get it, too... trust me

[ruby thicket]

Brethren of the coast village

[brittle geyser]

literally no shame in lowering difficulty. people need to stop being so stubborn. if you want elden ring, turn the difficulty up. if you want minecraft, turn it down. it's not hard

[subtle blade]

I believe its the People of Tortuga main base

[winter peak]

or just build right

[untold oriole]

You're not HOLDING block, are you?

[silver wind]

Love how noone said smugglers

[lusty meteor]

classic assasssin creed combat, but the animation, like blocking and stuff is really high-end mocapped stuff, so it looks good.

[deep rampart]

Brethren has gunpowder guy

[broken pewter]

the start is rough because you’re still learning the game but once you learn it it’s fun

[olive ermine]

the animations Windrose has is functional only. They are extremely basic

[pulsar burrow]

for one when I press parry I'd like it to parry and it often doesn't for another the stamina system is incredibly punishing and needs either removed or reworked because it's tied to both your sprint and your ability to block and attack. Almost all of my deaths have been either getting 1 or 2 shotted because I pressed block and my character just straight up didn't block or because I ran out of stamina chippin away at the enemies mountain of health. You can't dodge or roll and while I'm not saying stamina systems can't work Dark souls is a great example of one thats well done this is just way to punishing. I've also killed like 30 enemies and still haven't leveled up this game is more grind fest then seafaring pirate game. I feel less like swashbuckler and more like a freaking serf in my pirate game.

[ruby thicket]

Literally my dad was like “my guy is so squishy and I die a lot” and I’m like “have you been upgrading your gear like I told you to?” The answer was no.

[remote heath]

yeah he's not at the Buccaneer camp

[untold oriole]

Don't block, parry. Parrying uses up nothing.

[torn lark]

classic "gaming journalist can't play games" moment

[broken pewter]

sounds like a skill issue to me ngl

[somber wigeon]

it is required

[silver wind]

stop trying to face tank

[ruby thicket]

Gunpowder?? Hmm. I got cook, clothier, and apothecary… two I got in tortuga one from the brethren…

[pulsar burrow]

that would be great advice if the button freakin worked when I pressed it

[remote heath]

believe it or not I still haven't found the Brethren base. I've been looking all over. I'm sitting on a mound of sellables for them. DIdn't know they had the gunpowder guy now I HAVE to find them

[winter peak]

the combat and execution was the worst it was just stand there wait until the enemy attacks to execute a bunch of flashy animations and chain kill a room for black flag

[tepid apex]

Having troubles with parry? Time it better
Having trouble with Stamina? Manage it better
Having trouble with multiple enemy's? Place yourself in better positions

[brittle geyser]

parrying needs work. nearly impossible to parry with a halberd compared to everything else because of the animations

[untold oriole]

Honestly seems that way when he says blocking is taking away stamina

[mint hatch]

To the guns ya dogs!

[subtle blade]

You don't get experience to level up from defeating enemies. You get it from quests and exploring Points of Interest.

Also what type of weapon are you using? They have different block/parry mechanics.

[silver wind]

Halberd cant parry fyi

[broken pewter]

combat in this game is strategic you can’t just brute force it

[turbid spade]

Just go play animal crossing or something because that sounds more your skill level

[dry pecan]

I actually also struggled with this and it truly was just my poor management of stamina. that's it. once i actually paid attention to managing stamina the combat got a lot easier.

You'll also never level from enemies. you HAVE to complete quests to get XP.

[dry urchin]

parry is abit touchy at times that is fair but its not like its totally broken either

[untold oriole]

Eww

[glossy moth]

Yeah, I mean if people can't handle the expectations that have been set, that's a .. skills issue.

The reality is, we've all bought into the Early Access program for Steam, and with that comes games with unfinished systems, bugs, and incomplete content.

If you're looking for perfection, wait for 1.0 games and then complain.. Like what happened to Dune:Awakening which got absolutely tossed to the meat grinder when it was a 1.0 release game that should've been an early access.

Expectation setting is what's important.

QoL, fixes, and changes will be coming and we have a cool committement from Kraken that they are taking pains to ensure we don't have world loss or save game issues on upgrades.

[lusty meteor]

I mean, you do get animation locked with heavy attacks, and block doesn't animation cancel out of them, but just, don't commit to a heavy attack at the wrong time, maybe?

[timid crescent]

It's absolutely a skill issue. This game has "souls like" combat in the description. It's not meant to be so easy that anyone can just do it right away, but if you give a little effort and patience, it's 100% doable.

[torn lark]

Animal Crossing requires actually knowing game mechanics and planning.

[abstract aspen]

blocking doesn't cost stamina iirc. It just takes your posture. you can parry and block without any stamina. You just cannot regain it when holding block. Perfect block/ parry takes down enemy posture and stuns them after they lose all of it.

[olive canyon]

• you do not gain XP from fights, you get it from completing POIs and missions
• you can dodge, default keybind is CTRL
• eat. it is essential, especially in early game, in order to have sufficient health and endurance for fights

[pulsar burrow]

I have a full set of the first tier of armor and I have a copper cutlass upgraded.

[mint hatch]

You can also go all fortnite and start building in the middle of battle like I sometimes do

[crimson river]

You know what I think? People complain too much

[ruby thicket]

Right? So now he understands why I was trying to farm resources when he wanted to go kill things I was like “dad I’m trying to upgrade so I don’t get squished” and now I’m maxed out for my zone and he finally sees the difference it makes and is like “soooo wanna go farm resources??” XD I love that old man. He’s about to retire. “Four trash days left!!” Lol

[knotty harness]

"You can't dodge or roll"
I'm gonna stop you right there - you can dodge. I've dodged hundreds of times. It's easy.

[pearl bolt]

windrose isnt easy, and it is grindy. but so is every survival game. at least u dont sign in to find your hut surrounded by ground pipes and hundreds of pet dinos stopping you from exiting the door, like ark

[winter peak]

you can also play more defensive which is what i did from the start, I also rebound the dodge to my thumb button

[somber wigeon]

you dont lvl from killing enemies... you lvl from doing quests and POIs. also... the more you say the more it is made clear that you should just look up some videos or guides to learn about the game

[remote heath]

Thanks you're right, chef is at the People of Tortuga main base.

[glossy moth]

oh man.. Ark.... absolutely unforgiving.

[compact quail]

• parrying costs 0 stamina
• you can increase it with perks, skill, items, food and equipment. with rested it recharges instantly
• if you press block and your character doesn't block, buy a new mouse or a controller
• block ressource is riposte, not stamina, you are misunderstanding the game
• you can dodge more times in windrose than dark souls
• you level from exploration, not mindless grinding. ironic when you call it a grindfest, innit?

[timid crescent]

Some peoples' parents never let them try to solve problems on their own and it shows.

[silver wind]

ALso level isnt nearly as important as gear level

[broken pewter]

practice parrying on boars, then once you can do that consistently start throwing in hits, be patient it’s not an easy game and you can’t brute force combat. then once you do that enough you’ll have enough leather to upgrade your armor

[knotty harness]

Okay but let's be real; Ark is a dumpster fire of antisocial nonsense

[ruby thicket]

Honestly!!! The Blackbeard ruins that had a ton of npcs to kill!! We stood on a tent and played duck hunt - pirate edition. Lol 😂

[untold oriole]

What do you mean, "you can't dodge?"

Yes, you absolutely can

[brittle geyser]

feature or bug?

[winter peak]

timing the heavy attack is satisfying watching a sailor walk into it never gets old

[glossy moth]

This game feels like it's at least respecting player time spent. Valheim, not so much. Enshrouded is good at that too. Ark... lol.. time is not valued.

[timid crescent]

It means he can't dode because he's way to slow to push a button I guess?

[silver wind]

That I dont know. Just that it doesnt parry

[dry urchin]

ill admit i dont know how i feel about how xp is only gained through those two methoeds hopefully theyll add more side quests or wahtever just to stir things up or have a bit more steady xp flow for when youve already sorta cleared an area but not quite ready to move higher

[olive ermine]

Dodge has abysmally small clear range. Roll would work better in every situation

[remote heath]

Can one of you gents give Dutch a nice Game Journalist level handout of mats so he can have end game gear in act I - so he'll realize the game is actually fun? And more importantly so we can stop hearing his complaints here?

[dry pecan]

and you don't have to feed and water your character, your death bag is actually a reasonable size to be visible, you don't actually drop everything on death and end up naked and afraid every single time. the build cost is lower and the game itself is better built. ark is so insanely punishing.

[broken pewter]

the whole first part of the game is redemption and revenge and you get upset when you have to start from nothing and build your skill up

[winter peak]

doing a double dodge is usualyl a lifesaver especially with the crocs

[pulsar burrow]

In my defense it would be nice if the game explained like any of this because I've been following the toturials and reading every pop up and this stuff was never mentioned.

[timid crescent]

Have you tried dashing? Works literally every time for me aside from some of the croc's red attacks

[pearl bolt]

and u get to respec your stats at anytime, u can even change the difficulty to old captains choice mode.

[glossy moth]

Please, dont' enable.

[untold oriole]

No, rolling is stupid

[compact quail]

you NEED some practice in this game. you will encounter new enemies that you WILL die to and you NEED to practice on
you WILL git gud if you care enough

[brittle geyser]

i think it's a bug because there's often times where i will try to parry and it gives off the sparks of a parry, but it doesn't parry

[broken pewter]

it’s literally the point of the game you start with nothing and you become the best

[timid crescent]

Oh my god grow tf up, video games aren't meant to hold your hand dude, figure it out. This isn't preschool.

[olive ermine]

Straight out run away? I hope ur not serious 😄

[lusty meteor]

animation lock most likely

[undone niche]

„I want XYZ!“, „This bad!“, „blablabla!“… ME: „…I having a great time in Windrose…“

[compact quail]

mouse p.i for hire
too much cheese - IGN

[untold oriole]

Also dodge works fine if you time it right

[olive canyon]

I fully agree that other avenues for XP gain would be nice - successful boarding could give like 5XP or something, as an example

[abstract aspen]

you have I-frames during the dodge :) you can dodge Into attacks and take no damage if done right. best enemy to test that out is Richards

[fossil rover]

Get used to doing perfect blocks, don't need stamina and they will stun enemies. Makes fighting even higher level enemies a lot easier.

Also make sure you upgrade your endurance thrugh stats and perks, and upgrade weapons over time. You start out pretty weak but it gets easier pretty quickly.

Make sure weapons are upgraded too, and rebind dash to your mouse side buttons.

Ctrl being dash is kinda stupid rebinding to mouse made the game 10x easier for me in the demo

[dry urchin]

yeah some small stuff like that

[ruby thicket]

Literally me: dash dash spriiiiint turn around and fire my gun, then switch to rapier. Inflict bleed, repeat. Lol

[obsidian carbon]

Hi, does anyone know if the Major Warrior ring works with the Rapier of Devastation?

[remote heath]

I see we have a fellow cockroach in the chat. ASSEMBLE

[delicate furnace]

me who doesn't even practice fencing in real life knows how to stab > stab > back or side step/hop and repeat. and I'm a ranged weapon main also in this game

[lusty meteor]

also mfw you can literally just run away from most enemies, unless you nuke your stamina to zero like a idjit.

[compact quail]

crude weapons cannot parry. its a feature

[knotty harness]

You are really, really, really doing a piss-poor job of living up to the name you chose for yourself. smh.

[dry pecan]

y'all remember when games had tutorials that consisted of just teaching you the keybinds and nothing else and there was no internet to refer to if you got stuck? you just like... had to figure it out or never progress?

[turbid spade]

Not at the moment

[winter peak]

poke poke, dodge, poke poke, heavy, pistol if I got hit

[somber wigeon]

most times you dont need to dodge, just walking, jumping or running perpendicular to the enemy will do. dodge will dodge attacks that you cant clear that way

[cloud juniper]

Which server do you use?

[pearl bolt]

if you struggle with windrose, u can always play tales of the shire instead.

[remote heath]

Or minecraft

[lusty meteor]

or you can just fortnite. build a platform, build walls around the enemy, shoot them dead.

[broken pewter]

or animal crossing

[ruby thicket]

I’m too slow to block so I don’t bother, I just focus on endurance and dodge. Lol Also!! I have the recipie for thousand cuts if anyone needs me to make them one and bring it

[winter peak]

rebinding the lock on and dodge helped me

[worthy schooner]

I was just told - by a friend who played windrose once you get to the swamp and beat the boss the game is over you can't play anymore ? --- How true is that? Thanks

[silver wind]

Better to just wall em in and loot risk free.

[olive canyon]

do you? I have only just started dodging, because the keybind is...not ideal imo, but I distinctly had the thought of
"wow, wish this had I-Frames, these plague crocs go crazy"

[olive ermine]

yes, just like in Soul games, but its timings and ranges are still like... why is it so short? Let me CLEAR the enemy and reposition.

[compact quail]

you have a lot of i-frames, yes

[somber wigeon]

so boring though, better to just learn the patterns and rythems

[knotty harness]

The storyline content is over at that point but you can continue to play infinitely; remember this is early access and not done yet

[brittle geyser]

good to know

[dry urchin]

huh couldnt really tell if dodge had i frames or not

[untold oriole]

That's why I remapped mine to the back button on the mouse

[dry pecan]

you can still play. if you haven't finished the sidequests those are there and then there's always building and resource gathering, fighting blackbeard ships, etc

[delicate furnace]

thats a true friend there. they are messing with you

[compact quail]

i find the i-frames in windrose actually crazy.

[winter peak]

the only time my combat rhythm collapses is when you got a lot of enemies

[knotty harness]

Again, remember, Windrose is Early Access. It's not nearly finished yet.

[somber wigeon]

1000% false

[remote heath]

Yeah they're extremely generous tbh

[abstract aspen]

yess definitely got I-frames during dodge. it's rather tight but honestly easy to get used to :D

[fierce ridge]

single player though 🙁

[winter peak]

... or i leave my coffe at home

If you can do souls, there's no reason you can't handle windrose

[quartz topaz]

uh ashland biome will be great for sure but I would love some 'happier' jungle biome or something like that 🙂

[worthy schooner]

Thank you for all the answers and responses♥

[glossy moth]

There are also plenty of visual clues on the enemies to help you with timing. It takes practice and skill, but once you figure it out, it's fun.

[subtle blade]

Hm. Yeah you should be able to parry with a Cutlass regardless of stamina.

[ruby thicket]

I’ve actually never played souls

[remote heath]

anyone have 100 cane sugar and want 2,000 Piastre?

[dry urchin]

gimea big fancy pirates pipe to smoke from and look dashing and daring

[compact quail]

remember. you have i-frames AND also directional dodge. you can dodge out of an attack and also IN an attack due to i-frames. thats like double dodge
