Or the mustard gas

[spiral swallow]

here you can send it https://windrose.support/

[olive canyon]

only problem with it, afaik, is that you'll have a bunch of NPCs and structures that preexist which may affect performance

[dark moth]

So I’m a bit dizzy with trying to find all my islands any tips other than just doing laps

[subtle blade]

I love mustard

[rocky charm]

I might formulate some feedback for ideas when I am back from vacation. I adore this game.

[ornate citrus]

with sausage?

[safe eagle]

Frankfurters

[cold coyote]

Should I craft 2 large furnaces or have one large furnace and one normal furnace? The normal furnace only can smelt copper and iron

[regal wagon]

There's a website that you put your files into and it gives you the full map for your seed.

[serene pivot]

questline most of them are connected to islands

[south lion]

just make 2 large ones

[knotty harness]

Looks like "training dummy" is set to win yesterday's poll

be sure to go through and vote on the feedback/ideas that already have been posted 🫡

[tired dune]

waiting for Display fishes... deco

[olive ermine]

which is kinda sad. Animation lock is cancer

[safe eagle]

https://tenor.com/view/beepboopbotz-kick-alice-survivor-bonus-spin-kick-gif-14432289776789619722

[primal tide]

So on our "main base" island we placed 2 bonfires and a travel bell centered for easy map identification. Others might have ideas for the individuals

[finite scarab]

I see…
Ty.

[knotty harness]

If the animation lock was removed, wouldn't that just turn combat into ice-skating?

[south lion]

anyone know how to fix not being able to connect to a private server after playing on a dedicated server with windrose+

[olive canyon]

such a shame - its "fine", but certainly improving combat by removing animation locks would be more beneficial than a base asset that folks will use thrice and then forget about

[rocky charm]

https://tenor.com/view/rogerroger-star-wars-gif-24538011

[olive ermine]

No you would have way snappier parry mechanics

[serene pivot]

as i thought the emerald fish was wrong translated into german

[safe eagle]

Isn’t it the Green Emerald fish?

[primal tide]

The server owner may need to restart it for you♡

[south lion]

how do you restart a private server

[serene pivot]

emerald green bluefish

[safe eagle]

Ahhh ye

[primal tide]

To restart a Windrose private dedicated server, use your hosting panel's "Restart" button, which resolves most connection issues. For a full wipe, stop the server, open the File Manager, delete the R5/Saved folder, and restart

[cold coyote]

How does one get Quagmire powder? I'm trying to smelt Mire Metal, and it seems I'm missing the quagmire powder necessary

[serene pivot]

first time id see it i tought is it green or blue

[south lion]

no im saying im unable to join a NORMAL ingame server; the dedicated server is the one with windrose+ which i am able to join

[regal wagon]

Kill plague things. Thralls, witches, hunters, warriors.

[gentle magnet]

Kill the local populace.

[blissful cape]

that's a hosted server not a private dedicated one, there are no hosting panels on dedicated servers

[safe eagle]

Oh in separate news, last night I sent my gaming buddy out to farm for a crab shell for our base. “Dude I’ve went around the whole island and not found a shell” me 30 seconds later.. “ahh I just picked one up, we’re good now” 🤣

[primal tide]

Ohhhh. Apologies, I haven't run into that issue so my advice isnt helpful.

[rancid sierra]

Bluefish is a species of fish that comes in different colors. So there actually are blue Bluefish, teal ones, silver ones, and green ones.

[knotty harness]

He was trying to farm it from fiddler crabs wasn't he

[regal wagon]

I mean. I've spent hours fishing, haven't gotten the weapon. Wife got it 5 min after she unlocked the rod.

[cold coyote]

Time to commit genocide in the name of resource aquasition

[safe eagle]

No no.. I told him to pick up the crabs lol. He was just unlucky on the rng

[gentle magnet]

nice pun

[calm reef]

Crab shell is most annoying discovery in game to get not gonna lie….

Bromeliad + Seeds

[regal wagon]

I find like 2-3 patches in most instances of the plague forest....

[safe eagle]

For me it was chilli seeds funnily enough lol

[rancid sierra]

One of the scraper sites showed Bromeliad SEEDS. And I have a mighty need. But I'm guessing that might happen after Ashlands rolls out. >.>

[gentle magnet]

You lucky BASS

[regal wagon]

Only thing rnjesus did for me in my entire playthrough.

[safe eagle]

I still haven’t found any ring except the knights ring lol

[gentle magnet]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-pray-rngesus-beg-gif-14727259

[regal wagon]

I got most of mine from blackbeard chests.

[gentle magnet]

same

[delicate furnace]

that tower is 3 long curved stairs high. I wonder if I should make it 4..

[safe eagle]

Yeah I just haven’t been lucky with those yet it seems

[spice bridge]

shame on you 😂

[still zealot]

Half of my friends crew just jumped on my boat lol. Oh man i love this game

[regal wagon]

Player controlled cannons should get an accuracy and damage buff.

[delicate furnace]

this is the view from the top of the tower atm

[eager kraken]

Thank you

[olive canyon]

alternatively, you could lower your crop-beds a little, which will give the overall appearance of the building being taller 🤔

[regal wagon]

Needs to be taller.

[delicate furnace]

the seedbeds are down there if looking from the top of the tower

[regal wagon]

If you're not even with/taller than the frigates mast. It's not tall enough.

[olive canyon]

personally I like the proportions of the tower's height vs the rest of the accompanying building

[primal tide]

I was NOT ready for the Alpha Wolves and their damage upon first encounter. Worse than frigging savage boars 😭

[regal wagon]

The bleed is inconvenient.

[karmic isle]

the irony for this game is that the boat battles are the worst part of it

[primal tide]

Seriously though!! Like excuse me sir, my bandages and potions are non void. Thanks

[subtle blade]

Majority of people feel the opposite

[tiny ermine]

so I just build my blackbeard frigate but wth what is this thing blocking my frontal aim??

[safe eagle]

Yeah I like the ship battles

[regal wagon]

Inconvenience.

[delicate furnace]

kinda cheated a little and built the tower on a tall rock 😛

[karmic isle]

bro u cant dodge, if u fight like 2 boats at a time ur fked

[olive canyon]

the Alpha Wolf vs. the humble Stone Wall

[rapid condor]

so whats wrong with basements

[spiral quiver]

huh? mad you can't just laser beam shi?

[tiny ermine]

😡 is it necessary though I mean

[olive canyon]

hopefully we'll be able to solve this if/when we get customizable figureheads

[regal wagon]

Absolutely not. Should go invisible like rigging does when aiming broadside.

[tiny ermine]

I mean if you can't figure out how to beat 2 boats at a time then, yes, you are fked

[delicate furnace]

I don't mind adding another floor tho

[olive canyon]

https://giphy.com/gifs/why-IDGNYvFLkJKLK

[slow skiff]

Are you saying your front piece is too big?

[spiral quiver]

o , you mad you cant turn an 80 foot wooden sailboat on a dime?..ok your right , boat combat is the worst part of the game...

[karmic isle]

theres no figuring out, u shoot u have cooldowns both shoot at u, theres no dodging

[tiny ermine]

yes, just like my boat's only I'm not complaining about mine

[south lion]

i have a frigate and now i think the boat battles arent hard enough..... hardly any fun just 1 tapping gunboats before they even in range

[rancid sierra]

Well YEAH! The damned thing steers like a booooooa...... oh.

[subtle blade]

My wife doesn't think so. 🤭

[olive canyon]

if by "hardly any fun" you mean "immensely satisfying sending those fools to Davy Jones before they can let off a shot"
then yes

[regal wagon]

Get better guns and hull, upgrade both.

[south lion]

i compensate by fighting 10 of them at a time so, yea its not too bad

[tiny ermine]

no there isn't, not really, but the naval combat is not overly complicated you just have to make sure your equipments are leveled up

[spiral quiver]

shi , my bad ..here i was thinking me going 1v4 lvl 15's was too easy..

[subtle blade]

The only thing preventing me from fighting Hands is that my boat is under leveled to continue the questline...

[shut cairn]

Any faster way to get animal hide?

[regal wagon]

Buy it.

[karmic isle]

i just wanna bait them one at a time but u cant

[south lion]

buy it or download a mod that drops 100000 hide per boar

[shut cairn]

how do I buy it?

[south lion]

merchant contract, you have to defeat coastl jungle boss first

[regal wagon]

Get a merchant contract from one of the vendors.

[tiny ermine]

no, but it's easy to make them crash into each other so

[shut cairn]

I need it to beat hands D:

[south lion]

no no just richards ithink

[brittle geyser]

how have you not found the prospector ring? easiest ring to find. should be your first too

[spiral quiver]

then i suggest to go on a pig killing rampage lol

[shut cairn]

I'm guessing i get the contract at tortuga?

[south lion]

yea i forget which faction but yes

[regal wagon]

All chests are completely random. Prospector was the last ring I found.

[brittle geyser]

beat the first boss and order it on amazon

[shut cairn]

Damn yeah I didn't think of that

[south lion]

prospector ring was my first one, and second, and third, and fourth......

[olive canyon]

honestly, I just kill any boar that strays into my path - keeps me stocked, keeps my Plague stacks maxxed, and is ez pz

[safe eagle]

If you have beat Richard’s then get yourself a food merchant and buy it. That said, goats and wolves also drop a good amount of hide

[shut cairn]

Thanks for the help everyone <3

[brittle geyser]

not all chests are random. im pretty sure none of them are actually. you need to go to the correct island and then check the right location. prospector will always be in the coastal jungle

[south lion]

the "best" way to farm the hide instead of buying it is killing nanny goats in the foothills. nanny goats drop 3 hide each

[safe eagle]

No idea, it didn’t drop on my main char.. it had on my alt though

[regal wagon]

Considering 3 people can open the same chest and get different things out of it, yes. They're random.

[olive canyon]

almost every chest is random, with a few specific exceptions like getting ||Soul Eater|| from the ||Victory Chest after beating Hands||

[brittle geyser]

never happens with my friends, but alright

[delicate furnace]

I guess this is one way of making bonfire circles overlap XD

[main sleet]

89% shure all chests in the biome is random

[regal wagon]

Theyre spheres. Not circles lol.

[carmine bluff]

It’s the bowsprit, for the functionality of a sailing ship yes it is absolutely necessary; though, for game’s sake it should go invisible because it blocks the view a ton on the frigates and brigs

[south lion]

actually using this method to get bonfire range on my entire town. space out small towers to raise the bonfires so i can fit more below

[brittle geyser]

well i guess they are random then. however, you will always find coastal jungle items in the coastal jungle

[left helm]

This is not true. Almost all chests are completely random and the prospector ring can drop in any of them but only one of them on the entire map. It is heavily weighted to be in blackbeard chests as are many of the rings tho

[brittle geyser]

you were probably missing a chest. there are sometimes chests in the copper mines. check those

[delicate furnace]

yeah. my main bonfire is way down there in the mines

[brittle geyser]

internet explorer moment

[safe eagle]

Ahh I’ll admit.. I haven’t been visiting the mines except when I need copper or iron.

[brittle geyser]

iron mines i dont believe have chests. none of the mire ones do either. just copper

[main sleet]

@delicate furnace@south lionhold on.. unless i have been missing some major game function there is no need to cover a base with bonefires.. cause you dont share the buildings / chests with them anyway.. unless you have a ton of things that needs to be build in an range of the bonefire

[compact quail]

no

[olive canyon]

honestly, especially in the early game, I'd recommend starting any play session with a quick mine
you'll never regret having ore on hand and ready to smelt

[rich relic]

Yo, new member here. I really want to play the game but I heard there's some SSD issues. Did it get patched? Would playing the game still heavily wear the ssd? Is there a way around, like using an external harddrive or something?

Ill be using my brothers gaming pc, and i dont wanna mess it up

[subtle blade]

It got fixed.

[regal wagon]

1. It was patched. 2. It was overstated for clicks.

[compact quail]

there are some chests that are fixed. like the one at the beach always giving u gunpowder iirc and pots
or boss chests like hands
but random poi chests are random
(some chests obviously have loot pools. like farm chests will give u seeds and not smth like .... idk gold. don't @ me if you got gold from one, u know what i mean)

[brittle geyser]

nothing noticeable. same type of thing as youtubers saying helldivers was melting their pcs. none of that happened

[olive canyon]

• yes has been patched
• only affected really old (10+ yrs) SSDs
• the reporting only even happened after the fix and was blown way out of proportion for clicks

[shell hatch]

It was never bad enough to actually melt an ssd people were just dramafarming lmao, but yes the ssd issue has been patched

[open pollen]

They really do need a suggestion box channel. Limit 1 post per hour or day. Because I want to request ropes to swing onto the ship with, like "click rope" then "click landing spot" and swing there. That would be really cool and useful, too.

[safe eagle]

I’ve managed fine at the moment..

[delicate furnace]

there might be a point where you can have the storage overlap? my main bonfire comfort level is 33 and when I placed one up that tower it was saying I have 19 on that bonfire. the value goes back to 33 when I go down the tower which its at the 3rd floor

[untold oriole]

They're definitely random aside from the fact that you won't find plague weapons in the jungle... If you and your friend open the same chest you might get totally different weapons/armor

[olive canyon]

https://windrose.support/ideas

[rich relic]

Oh really? Aight thanks for the replies everyone! Been itching to play a good pirate game since the old PotCOnline days

[shell hatch]

just wait until you need stone for builds, I've dropped like 300 copper ore into oblivion just to get the stone from copper mines lmao

[compact quail]

oh boy potc online was a thing that thinged and existed
holy core memory unlocked

[rich relic]

Hahaha

[regal wagon]

Wild what getting old does to your memory isnt it.

[brittle geyser]

yeah. the pots that you can farm at different spots on the map for silver ingots, gold ingots, sugar, etc are consistent and respawn. the chests aren't. also i found that farming rum is not at all worth it because you get probably 4 from a large camp. nut farming is worth it though (dont take this quote out of context)

[safe eagle]

Ahh well.. I don’t plan on making massive bases that need stone! I have my shack.. and a pier.. that’s all I need lol

[compact quail]

i do not use nuts.

[shell hatch]

We love a Spartan player

[rapid condor]

youcall?

[regal wagon]

Until you finish the game, and decide "yes, I do need to expand the house....and make a tower, and a full wharf, and a merchant building."

[viral burrow]

Hello guys hope everyone is having a good time... So after the update everything has been going bad.. i cant even play the game.
when ever i start it i get this msg and i can't locate that "broken file"
keep in mind i have searched and followed so many different ways to fix this issue and nothing is working 🙁
i really like this game please someone help me ! ❤️

[brittle geyser]

i use for sun milk tonic and fish n tostones

[olive canyon]

all well and good till the urge to build your lighthouse strikes you like a freight train

[rugged granite]

is 28 slot biggest storagebox?

[safe eagle]

Ahh well, that said I did start making a signal tower then stopped when I ran out of wood. Lol.. and ‘I might’ make a governor’s mansion.. maybe.. ||probably not||

[sudden condor]

Are we able to share curios at any point?

[regal wagon]

I don't do base building.....until I did.

[compact quail]

turn off your steam cloud. it killed yer save #1500867970698576023 message
maybe fixes it

[untold oriole]

So has this game prompted anyone else to look up real pirate lore?

[safe eagle]

I’m not a fan of base building. Except in space engineers lol

[delicate furnace]

hehehe. putting bonfire on top of signal fire 🤣

[brittle geyser]

oh yeah. i did a lot of research

[shell hatch]

https://playwindrose.com/faq/#faq-saves-restore

[regal wagon]

No. Black flag did that.

[safe eagle]

Hey Google, what do we do with a drunken sailor, early in the morning?

[compact quail]

or tht. the official one.

[untold oriole]

I recognized the name Stede Bonnet from Internet Historian's video about him, and then I started looking up other names

[brittle geyser]

THROW HIM IN A LONGBOAT TILL HE'S SOBER

[regal wagon]

I wish they'd add more verses to that shanty....there are like a dozen.

[untold oriole]

Shave his belly with a rusty razor

[brittle geyser]

that and literally the quest giver for brethren of the coast (Hornigold)

[safe eagle]

Tie him to the long mast till he’s sober!

[simple pollen]

Two pounds ten a month had been my pay

[untold oriole]

Richards and Israel Hands too.

[shell hatch]

except in this game Hornigold sails the Ranger which wasn't his ship ;-;

[brittle geyser]

i didnt know about hands. did know about richards. gotta do more research

[regal wagon]

They pulled that from ac4 lol

[shell hatch]

idk if Hands was real he's a character from Treasure Island

[untold oriole]

Anybody remember the name of Bonnet's ship we had to sink?

[olive canyon]

I hope we see the Torch item return - its just thematically so much cooler than the Lantern, even if they serve the same purpose
-# and if just placing standing torches is better 90% of the time

[untold oriole]

The lantern is nicer though cuz you don't need a free hand to hold it

[brittle geyser]

yeah but he uses the jolly roger which was something created on Nassau which he owned until he gave it up to be a pirate hunter (aka brethren of the coast). the ranger irl was a slave ship

[carmine bluff]

Didn’t he sail the ranger in 1717

[olive canyon]

I suppose - but I'd take the trade off of the Torch having a larger/brighter radius or something - could be VERY cinematic when walking through the Swamps at night

[subtle blade]

What. I didn't know he was a real person...

[shell hatch]

I thought the Ranger was only sailed by Charles Vane but idk

[untold oriole]

That's why he was in the movie

[regal wagon]

The other fun part. Is the fact a lot of history from the golden age of piracy is just speculation.

[brittle geyser]

it was yes

[shell hatch]

Oh look at that he is real, I always assumed he was an original character for Treasure Island like Long John Silver

[regal wagon]

Oddly enough, pirates weren't well known for leaving us detailed autobiographies.

[carmine bluff]

I think he sailed it in 1717, which is interesting because teach died in 1718.

Though I’m pretty sure the ranger in real life was a sloop, in game it’s a frigate

[untold oriole]

Well to be fair that's everything we weren't there to see, but it's all still fascinating to me

[regal wagon]

A lot of pirate ships were sloops. Faster, more maneuverable, and better for raiding.

[carmine bluff]

Yes, but in game it’s a frigate

[regal wagon]

Doesn't change the fact I want a 120 gun first rate. Because more guns is the right answer.

[olive canyon]

and sadly a LOT of what has survived is now being proven to be propaganda (primarily from the British) designed to paint pirates as villains of their time - lots of great books out now that sift the true history out tho

[carmine bluff]

Santisima Trinidad my beloved

[brittle geyser]

The Queen Anne's Revenge was a sloop as well. idk what it'll be in game, but irl it had the biggest guns being 6 pounders and the smallest being half pounders. only 40 ish guns vs the spanish ship of the line's 144 guns

[shell hatch]

most if not all pirate ships were sloops because they needed to be fast enough to catch prizes

[brittle geyser]

and now we celebrate piracy (except buy this beautiful game) because if buying isn't owning, piracy isnt stealing

[delicate furnace]

You swore loyalty to me and I save you. you both are to be the lookout for my base

[untold oriole]

Okay, so they got the fake name of Bonnet's ship right

[subtle blade]

Hold up. So the stand in for Israel Hands in Treasure Planet is Mr. Scroop?

[carmine bluff]

Edward had a habit of swapping out his crew’s ship guns for much larger ones

[olive canyon]

the pirates of the Golden Age, if they could fathom our current hellscape, would certainly agree

[brittle geyser]

that would make sense

[shell hatch]

I think they took that from Black Sails honestly The Royal Lion wasn't a real pirate ship iirc

[stiff elk]

WHERE CHEST

[untold oriole]

See now I heard it was a big slave ship, a galleon, that he stole from the French

[olive canyon]

read the note you picked up

[sly niche]

where can we add in suggestions for the game? I would like to farm for stuff like salt and the other tools we have to buy to upgrade stuff I wish we could have both options to farm it and buy it.

[olive canyon]

https://windrose.support/ideas
but check if your thoughts have already been posted first 👍

[brittle geyser]

maybe im getting it mixed up. it still has 40 guns though

[carmine bluff]

If you think about it… Xbox logo is an x…

And x marks the spot…. Which means….

[subtle blade]

Live action Treasure Planet would go so hard.

[brittle geyser]

dont give hollyboob any ideas. i dont want them ruining my childhood

[carmine bluff]

I’d like to agree, buts it’s Disney.

They’re like the Ubisoft of film. 99% of what they put out is a smelly turd

[shell hatch]

jack will be black and trans not that there's anything wrong with that

[delicate furnace]

ngl, my tower looks more like a huge chimney

[subtle blade]

Well that's because Disney keeps hiring no talents and firing the old guard...

[untold oriole]

The Royal James* it's what he tried to rename the Revenge after he got it back from Blackbeard all stripped out. He got a pardon but then decided he needed revenge on blackbeard and needed to go pirating some more to get tbe supplies he needed. He changed the ship name and assumed a new identity so that he wouldn't lose his pardon and be hanged, but it didn't work

[young zodiac]

chimney from the factory hahaha

[brittle geyser]

now im gonna make the industrial revolution and its consequences base (bunch of chimneys)

[shell hatch]

Ah I killed him quickly and didn't fully read the name of the ship in game lol

[delicate furnace]

My base is at an Iron Mine site after all hehehe

[short kettle]

https://tenor.com/view/agreed-pirates-of-the-carribean-gif-15127372

[shell hatch]

4k barbossa hurts my brain

[untold oriole]

I didn't either at the time, but I found it on a game wiki. I remembered it having James in the name, but I coulda sworn the game called it st. James

[subtle blade]

Barbossa was the second best character in the franchise. (Before they ruined him in Pirates 4-5)

[knotty harness]

Why was there a 4-5
Pirates didn't need more than 3
In fact, if your movie franchise goes past 3, wtf are you doing

[carmine bluff]

It’s definitely the execs fault. It almost always falls on their shoulders. Like the live action Mulan for example, that dogwater film was absolutely terrible and was not at all Mulan. They could have named it something completely different and no one would know it was supposed to be a Mulan remake

[shell hatch]

Ah idk I think I agree with 4 (until the final scene) but 5 he was okay, I liked his ending

5 was overall not great but him and Jack finally truly making peace was the diamond in the sludge lol

[carmine bluff]

I don’t think I watched past the third, I heard bad things about 4 and 5.

I personally always thought davey jones was the last good villain Disney did

[untold oriole]

LOL, remember the Land Before Time? They made FOURTEEN of those

[shell hatch]

that's a firm agree, I'm a massive POTC fan so I still watched 4 and 5, 4 was honestly not as bad as people make it out to be, it just wasn't nearly as good as 3 (which is arguably the best one)

5 was, something POTC adjacent lmao, it had it's moments and Salazar was an okay villain, but he was basically just a lesser Davy Jones in terms of concept and the overall movie was a mess that retconned a lot for no reason

[carmine bluff]

I still listen to davey’s theme on Spotify

[knotty harness]

I remember someone saying they wanted "Hoist the Colors" from POTC added to WR as a shanty and I'm like "..first of all, no. Second of all, do you know what royalties are and how much Disney would set them at?"

[shell hatch]

well that being said Disney did partner with Sea of Thieves for the Pirates Life expansion so it's not totally out of the question

[carmine bluff]

It would be cool, but that would mean they would have to be shareholder bootlickers and appease Disney by making them enough money in whatever contract they sign

[olive canyon]

my sincere hope is that the Devs decide for the game to have a "Shanties" folder - and that whatever .wavs/.mp3s get put in there can be played via your in-game Crew

would easily allow folks to manage/expand their Shanty playlist, and doesnt tie the Devs up with responsibility for any licensing

[knotty harness]

It would have to be client-side only; if others can hear it in multiplayer that ties them right back up in licensing

[ornate oriole]

Raid Boss tier ship - Ship of the Line, under control of undead. Also capturable=) (Also wrong reply, thanks discord)

[verbal helm]

do items never despawn when dropped?

[tiny ermine]

nope

[knotty harness]

They take a while but they eventually despawn

[carmine bluff]

Imagine being able to earn ghost ship cosmetics and sail the seas in a ship similar to the legendary ones in AC4

[shell hatch]

you can use the ocean as a garbage bin if you need to

[ornate oriole]

Btw, I do need to install Black Flag, I never tried my hand against legendary ones, lol

[knotty harness]

I have dropped stacks of rocks while mining, come back to the same mine later, and the dropped rocks were gone

[verbal helm]

lmao thats what i been doing

[olive canyon]

I dont think we'll ever get "capturable" ships - would totally invalidate the entire play progression for building ships, which is pretty integral to the overall game

I think at best we can hope for "sellable" ships, that post-boarding we can choose to sink there and then for rewards or to send to a Faction of our choice for sale

[undone niche]

After the successful early access launch and the good state of the game, I am more than confident that the devs have thought everything through thoroughly. 😉

[verbal helm]

i have a full server with a que at times and i was thinking if everyones dropping stuff and things dont delete will that be bad lag wise

[ornate oriole]

Nah, nah, not every ship as capturable, of course. But super special ones, that can count as separate bosses, with special traits to them.

[devout saffron]

Unless the only capturable ships were special legendary ships toward end game. That would preserve the progression and just add a layer to it.

[regal wagon]

Eh, I'm ok with the ship boss fights. But capturing would be pointless. Boarding for legendary guns/crew/hull however.

[carmine bluff]

Resynced looks like it might be juicy, which is honestly surprising because it’s Ubisoft. But they have a good habit of showing off the good and polished parts of the game and leaving out the jank, usually the rest of the experience, from their trailers so we’ll have to see

[olive canyon]

perhaps - though I reckon they'd just make it so that sinking said Legendary Ship would award a unique Hull or Cannon, since that would be WAY easier than implementing a ship-ownership-transfer system

[ornate oriole]

Also, "sellable" prize ships would be great idea, and as further idea, strengthening factions so their influence pushes out Blackbeard influence, and makes waters safer

[regal wagon]

Or building your own fleet to own water

[carmine bluff]

Imagine they add ship rams to windrose, of course it’s not a real thing ships ever had (to my knowledge) but imagine just ramming the hell out of a Blackbeard ketch in your frigate

[ornate oriole]

Either way it would be sick.

[knotty harness]

I wouldn't be opposed to killing the local threat also removing the blackbeard influence from the relevant waters

[olive canyon]

that said, I'll need "Ally" NPCs to stop sinking my prizes when they're ready for Boarding before I'm willing to bolster their numbers 😭

[tiny ermine]

I don't know it's made by the same people who made skull and bones so I have reservations

[devout saffron]

Im just happy to have it updated. The original has a deep issue on PC where quite a few modern CPUs have issues and you have to do a manual workaround every time you launch the game. But I am also happy about a lot of the updates they are making to the game. I just wish they had added the ability to change ships or ship types. Being stuck with that boring brig the entire game was a bit of a chore the first time around.

[ornate oriole]

Technically you can ram ships right now, but it's very poor damage, so there need to be 5th gear slot for ramming upgrades

[olive canyon]

I want to see a Gunboat split in two from my Frigate cutting through 🗣️

[tiny ermine]

to my understanding it's not merely updated but there are some core mechanics that has been changed?

[subtle blade]

I would like the second option. As the rare occasion where I get sunk and manage to board an enemy ship to fight the remaining crew to the death would be super epic.

[regal wagon]

That's concerning

[knotty harness]

Skull & Bones was literally just phoned in to satisfy a contractual obligation for money they used elsewhere. AC: Black Flag is an actual title that made them a bunch of money and they definitely want to reap a second helping of money from it. I imagine they'll give it a much better treatment than S&B got

[vivid shoal]

please dear awsome dev, let add a featur where we can turn off and on lighta in light deco nd add an optiion to beds t just lay on them without making the game time go fster

[ornate oriole]

People said they removed usage of hidden blades from combat as separate weapons. Not sure how much of truth that is, but if they did, that's idiotic move

[cold coyote]

Do tainted trees grow back?

[devout saffron]

Yeah. Its a rebuild from the ground up

[young wolf]

stede bonnet side quest is annoying af

[knotty harness]

Apparently all trees grow back except palm and ficus, but the timer is kinda long

[olive canyon]

I think a happy middleground would be

• if Local Threat cleared
• if Bonfire present within [Large] radius
  then that area of water can be deemed "Unclaimed"
  -# or claimed by "your" Faction, if we ever get the ability to pledge to a Faction

[compact quail]

i read how it changed a lot of things like combat and made it worse
also cash shop in the game apparently?
ubisoft continues to lose

[carmine bluff]

Absolutely fair, skull and bones was an absolute disaster and honestly it should have stayed unreleased lol

But hey “innovative mechanic” of ship stamina. And of course their genius CEO (that totally played the game) calling it “the first quadruple A game” lmao

[cold coyote]

Okay, cool, thanks!

[compact quail]

so you have no enemy ships anymore in the game?
what a great idea

[regal wagon]

They can, they will, and people will continue to give them money for some reason.

[ornate oriole]

Scam and Bull has one thing going for it: Sheer amount of memes about Ubisoft's incompetence

[frail root]

Where do I get the 50 bags of gunpowder? Ive never even seen a regular bag of it much less 50 of them

[compact quail]

had a brainfart. idk why i said can't

[carmine bluff]

Ubisoft fell off so hard since like 2015/2016ish

I’m pretty sure from like 2023-2024 they lost so much money that they got investigated

[devout saffron]

There is now a crouch/stealth button, the combat has been reworked, more stealth options, they made free running more fluid, they removed the boring walking around an office building sections, added a bunch more story missions, expanded story missions, expanded the under water diving stuff, more Jackdaw upgrades, the list goes on.

[tiny ermine]

funny this is also the initial narrative to skull & bones. "Oh this is based on AC: Black Flag so it's gonna be gud"

[verbal helm]

just a stack of 40 and a 10

[ornate oriole]

Eeh, not really. I would say it would be a mechanic towards full end of the game, if we ever get to tackle Blackbeard himself. But for that we first would need to dwindle his numbers by powering up factions of the archipelago and killing off his influence over waters, so we get the chance to get to him

[olive canyon]

Divi Divi and Plague are confirmed to grow back by the Devs
Tarwood has mixed reports from players
Palm and Ficus do not

[young wolf]

how many grog can i have in 1 time ?

[subtle blade]

Ironically the only body that can conduct that investigation is the one responsible for the poor performance of the company.

Death to the stock market! 💀

[devout saffron]

I am a little dubious over their combat rework so we will have to see, but the rest of the changes seem good.

[worn ledge]

If you use guns you have a bag of it in your weapons pane. That quest is hard to complete till you can craft gunpowder in the second biome.

[young wolf]

thx gents

[tiny ermine]

and also it's pretty obvious that they kind of rush the resynced out because of windrose success so we don't even know if it's really ready for launch or not. Knowing Ubisoft it's nowhere near ready

[frail root]

Oh so its not a bag its just the little its just the little leather flasks?? I thought it waa like huge bags

[knotty harness]

You can get tons of gunpowder by raiding pirate camps in the first biome. That quest is super easy to complete.

[compact quail]

i do not think that's what he meant, but your idea is not terrible

[ornate oriole]

Not really? You can tackle pirate camps when you have to get black marks, and you will have more than enough for both usage and to give to buckaneers

[undone niche]

Sorry, but i still find the release time reveal for black flag funny 😂

[regal wagon]

Imagine giving money to ubisoft in 2026

[compact quail]

Just a heads up, @ripe dock is joining servers then inviting another player to loot and destroy your crap

[cold coyote]

I know I'm asking a lot of questions today, and I don't normally, but need a bit of help.

So I JUST found a level 10 Plague Halberd, and I see in the description it says once I hit 5 stacks of Plague Echoes, I can press 5 to unleash a special attack, yet I never get the chance to do so. It just seems to either auto activate or it resets the count to 0.

Is this normal?

[knotty harness]

Also, it wasn't "an hour later" when I played through. Maybe if you're speedrunning the main story or if you pick up that quest pretty late

[carmine bluff]

The moment companies start relying so hard on shareholders and investors, making them happy, or having to bootlick dogwater parent companies as well I start to lose faith.

Next to Ubisoft, Bethesda is probably the biggest one for me. Nothing would hurt my younger self more than to say “I do not have faith TES6 will be at all good”

Patented now by microslop and of course, slap on zenimax’s level of greed on top of it and the shareholders they have to make happy and Emil’s terrible writing and the fact they tried to scam Jeremy soule… the guy who made the previous soundtracks well, I just don’t have that faith anymore

[ornate oriole]

I think you need to press F to use the attack

[worn ledge]

F to activate

[subtle blade]

I haven't had faith in Bethesda since Todd Howard opened his big mouth during the Oblivion marketing push.

[regal wagon]

Public trading is the death of good companies.

[carmine bluff]

Yeah my brother pre ordered the game because it’s AC4 and I was like…. “It might have been a loss of money” lol

[worn ledge]

Console warriors fighting over who got starfield was like a couple of dudes fighting who gets to take the lunch lady to prom.

[regal wagon]

If your brother is still pre-ordering ANYTHING, thats 100% on him.

[rugged granite]

who is best to upgrade rank with first as a new player? just killed first boss and im level 6.

[carmine bluff]

I tried so hard to love Bethesda man, even through their worst. 76. Even starfield I tried man.

It sucks so hard to see a company that made games so near and dear to your childhood just succumb to the same scummy crap all the other companies succumb, or have already succumbed into.

Genuinely the only Triple A studio I have any faith in still is Rockstar. But even then I’m not sure how much they’ll cook after GTA6 since Dan houser left due to take two’s iron fist they wield over rockstar

[regal wagon]

I lost faith in Bethesda at fo4.

[astral ore]

might be a dumb question can you have a multiples of the same merchant to have more than 1 order at a time?

[left helm]

That is indeed a take lol

I love bethesda games… but man… their UI and Quest system is so 2000s… i hate it 😂

[subtle blade]

The moment a company becomes publicly traded it's customer base shifts from the every day people using its services to the boardroom executives and shareholders who prop it up.

It would be in all ways better for every societal class for companies to live and die by the sweat of their brow then to receive stale blood infusions from vampirous money handlers whose only intent is to let the blood propogate for a while before sucking it back out with interest.

[carmine bluff]

It is

[cold coyote]

If you're talking factions, it depends on what you want in terms of what they have to offer. Brethran of the Coast allows you to buy the plans for the Brig and the Frigate, Buccaneers and Smugglers give armor I believe. Each faction has stuff to unlock, so it depends on what you want to get the quickest. Once you get to tortuga, I would suggest looking at all of their provisioners and seeing what they have to offer and then choose which faction you want to upgrade rep first

[carmine bluff]

Honestly that should have been where my faith ended as well, but I tried to have hope for them lol

[rugged granite]

@cold coyoteBrig and frigate sounds cool. I have been to tortuga.

[eternal jay]

anyone else find this party ?

[rugged granite]

@cold coyoteis the armor good? or does the game drop better/easyer?

[wicked coral]

other one is watching, means he is being cucked

[knotty harness]

Just be aware that the materials for the brig requires recipes you won't get until killing the first boss, and the frigate requires recipes that are locked until you kill the second

[rugged granite]

@knotty harnessok. Just killed the first boss

[subtle blade]

...That does not look consensual...

[knotty harness]

Not the hungry meter being full.red lovie 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

[carmine bluff]

[cold coyote]

From what I can tell, the armor picked up in the world is mostly boots, hats/helms, and gloves, while the armor sold by the factions are pants and chest.
Of course each armor set has different affects on it, and you don't necessarily need to wear one specific set.

Like I'm wearing two pieces of the Conquistador Armor for bonus damage resistance and two pieces of the Pikemen armor for bonus health

So purchasing armor from the factions is mostly used for if you can't seem to find any pieces out in the world and you want to finish a set or just need new armor.

[subtle blade]

It's a cool system IMO

[cold coyote]

I agree

[rugged granite]

@cold coyoteYes. I need chest and pants.

[chrome timber]

For what? Oh out of curiosity I remember you were looking for the 1000 cuts Rapier. Still need it?

Combat Stats should have additional effects.

Example: Strength improves damage with weapons that scale on Strength such as clubs, maces, and halberd.

Additionally: Increases damage of all melee weapons by a lesser amount.

[compact quail]

i read you like the very hungry caterpillar

[knotty harness]

Parry, dodge, learn to not get hit

[frail root]

Doesn't work for me. He just barrels right through me

[clever thunder]

Dodge and peck

[carmine bluff]

Yup!!!!!

[old depot]

change up how you handle him. run, parry, dodge, catch him on his backside and run again

[olive canyon]

my 🐐

[old depot]

Once you finally kill him it's soooooo satisfying

[cobalt grove]

I hosted the server and had 4 of my buddies jump him

[clever thunder]

Or load up on a fuckton of ammo, keep your distance and slow ball him to death

[mellow fern]

Richard doesn't turn fast so side steps win over parrying but running always works.

[clever thunder]

Oh and when he throws his bombs, run past him

[compact quail]

stay close and parry him

[knotty harness]

I had a Dueling 2h sword when I fought him, so once I learned how to parry him enough to break his posture, I capitalized on the Retaliation buff. I also dodged a lot and ran right through him to the other side when he threw out bombs

[cobalt grove]

Make sure your gear is leveled up, otherwise you’re hitting him with a pool noodle and nerf gun

[green flare]

Anyone else see that post about ac bfr mechanics?

[old depot]

yeah, the bombs never need to hit you at all

[knotty harness]

BFR? Oh, nvm

[carmine bluff]

I just blunderbussed him to the next dimension, though it took a hot minute and a lot of dodging

[compact quail]

PSA: You want upgraded to the max for richards
PSA2: You HAVE TO learn to parry, or you will suffer with richards
PSA3: You could be a wuss and just shoot him for like 10 minutes for him to grab and oneshot you

Almost got to the brig, and then decided to do things differently

ketch to brig upgrade is game changing. thought i could go from ketch to frigate but the brig makes life so easy

[barren shard]

iam in foothills and have found 7/8 where dafuq is last one? 😄

[calm zodiac]

Frigate is where it’s at with 12 and 24 devastating rounds with some grog

[knotty harness]

By the way, I found this island in the foothills during my exploration; is this the island Hands is on, or can I raid the pirate temple without messing anything up?

[clever thunder]

Ive been enjoying Sturdy Rapier/Reliable Pistol and Bucc's Friend build

[south lion]

brother why would you not craft the blackbeard frigate with 36 and 24s?

[toxic urchin]

boarding party upgrade has to be the most useless item in the game

[upper bison]

kinda sad it doesn thave the same freight capacity tho

A good brig name is brig enough.

boarding party gear changes your crews level. max level boarding party gear will allow your crew to clean up basically all the enemies on the boat

[old depot]

open the game, click the suggestions, question there

[cyan veldt]

If I want to remove this one wall, half my base will fall down. Please change this mechanic 🙏

[desert cobalt]

i switched to reliable musket cause it S tiers and the reload speed is great

[cobalt grove]

You get it brother.

[cobalt grove]

Ah. Physics.

[cyan veldt]

Mate it's so bad

[opaque kindle]

Lvl 11...1 shotting lvl 15 plauge crocs with dragons breath Agi build.

[clever thunder]

Build temporary supports?

[south lion]

place another block inside of that block touching another block, you should be able to delete the wall and the block will hold the other stuff

[knotty harness]

Build another support and that won't happen

[cyan veldt]

I have so many supports in the base

[trim oasis]

Do you reckon base building on the ships is something they might try at some point? It'd be interesting to be able to live off your ship completely

[delicate pier]

I know spawn locations on a boat are pretty limited, but before I make a full report, are AI on the unsinkable purposely set to spawn on the deck itself and not underneath to walk up?

I know usually AI will spawn in the underneath part of smaller ships and climb out of the hatch, however the unsinkable ai just spawns randomly on the deck messing up combat.

[inner turret]

new to game just got it yesterday, any pirate caves big enough to drive a ketch or something into?

[cyan veldt]

My base is pretty much supports haha

[south lion]

they are supposed to spawn on top and below, but they only respawn if youre not on the ship in boarding action

[cobalt grove]

Shoot trees with canons from your ship is my favorite game mechanic btw

[clever thunder]

Could just build supports, redo wall, demo supports. New wall and no additional things

[desert cobalt]

when i did it they were up top and downbelow

[cyan veldt]

That has 5 support pillars, and another wall, yet it still will fall

[delicate pier]

Thank you, so I assuming it is a bug then if they are not supposed to respawn when you are on it? will be on the ship during a boarding action and AI’s just keep spawning right next to me throwing me off lol. Especially on the top deck of the bow. They just like to poof into existence lol

[south lion]

because your other walls arent touching the ground probably

[cyan veldt]

But they are

[old depot]

add something below that temporarily and then see if it will still collapse

[mellow fern]

each world is different so no/yes. I have a bay for my SP but I'd be lucky to find another

[south lion]

sometimes if you board a ship and then die, your ship will still be next to the boat but it isnt "boarding"; its just sitting next to it. when this happens enemies will keep respawning even if youre on the boat. you have to go back onto your helm and restart the boarding action

[delicate pier]

I know, I’ve done this each time. I’m going to record it this next trip.

[south lion]

did you build it on foundation blocks? if your foundation blocks arent fullying touching the ground then anything built on top isnt gonna be stable
you can also try to delete a different block and see if that one block still deletes the whole base.

[olive canyon]

https://windrose.support/ideas

be sure to read/search first, in case someone else has posted your idea already

[shell hatch]

only thing I can think is that somehow the base isn't connected to the ground

[cyan veldt]

Oh FFS, I got it now. I needed to take the floor up, and extend the support to the foundation

[south lion]

told you its not touching the ground lol

[shell hatch]

Ah there you go, yeah the foundation mechanics are a little finnicky for some reason

[cyan veldt]

Bahaha the floor should count if you ask me

[south lion]

i agree its too annoying getting stuff "sturdy" sometimes

[old depot]

not if it's floating 50 cm above the foundation

[cyan veldt]

I get both sides tbf

[vernal basin]

how DARE the pillar* not touch the sand by a hairs width house collapses

Can be confusing for people like me haha

[cyan veldt]

The main house is built off the foundation by half a wall, all the way around

[south lion]

if you build sloped walls and slide down the sloped part, you gain speed extremely fast and at the last second before you hit the ground if you jump you keep all forward momentum from the ramp. just need to gain enough forward momentum on the ramp going down, and then jump last second. THEORETICALLY you can zip across the ocean faster than it would take to load in from fast travel.

[desert cobalt]

https://tenor.com/view/pirate-ship-monkey-island-guybrush-threepwood-pirate-gif-12108213

[regal wagon]

Go through and add pillars throughout between the floor and foundation.

[cobalt grove]

Isnt the world build limit 26 units tho? How fast could you go with 26 sloped walls

[south lion]

is it? i managed to build a pretty tall tower...

[vernal basin]

been there. messing around with towers and arched bridges atm. may even try a hanging rope-bridge depending on my willpower today

[cyan veldt]

I wanted a wooden floor, so built up one small wall all around, thinking that would be the support

[shell hatch]

I think if you build the floor against the foundation it counts

[cobalt grove]

My buddies and I tried making a stairway to heaven, we hit the limit pretty quick

[cyan veldt]

Yeah about to do that right now

[south lion]

did it say height limit or that the build wasnt sturdy enough

[cobalt grove]

No words, just unable to build

[heavy flicker]

https://tenor.com/view/noted-gif-3956305466259397925

[south lion]

weird. i have a tower on top of a mountain right now, and stairs leading up to the mountain so i dont see there being much of a build height limit

[cobalt grove]

Tbf, this was day 2 of game release, they might’ve increased the limit after seeing all the engineers on here

[cyan veldt]

It's a different mechanic than I'm used too, but it makes sense now. Thanks all 🙏

[shell hatch]

The height limit doesn't appear to be consistent, I believe it's related to the sea level

[regal wagon]

There is a height limit. You just need a ton of supports to actually reach it.

[compact quail]

but... the sea level is consistent

[shell hatch]

I mean in relation to building on ground lmao

[south lion]

time to find a mod to remove the height limit so i can continue my research

like in some games the height limit is x cells above the ground but in this game it seems to be x above sea level which is hard to track when you're building inland

[regal wagon]

Park the frigate at the edge of the island. Thats your height reference.

[south lion]

this cant be right. i have a tower and staircase up to the tower thats at LEAST twice as tall as my frigate

[regal wagon]

I never said it was your height limit. It's just a reference tool.

[shell hatch]

I think he just means in reference to the sea level lmao

Don't think so

[olive canyon]

does anyone know anything more about the Brigantine that was leaked during the Demo?
NOT the Brig that we have now - it was a different model of ship, with a main deck and sterncastle hosting the wheel

Frankly I like the model a lot and hope we see it make a proper appearance/return

How do I unlock the ability to craft the Swamp Axe and Swamp pick?

The building physics of this game are somewhat laughable.

[olive canyon]

you cant 😔

[south lion]

i thought what we have now is the.... brig?

[cold coyote]

What?

[regal wagon]

There isn't one. Iron is the farthest you can go right now.

[olive canyon]

nah, that was a different ship teased

[cobalt grove]

There’s a mod that showcased a hidden ship in the code , it’s a cutter tho

[cold coyote]

So is this a lie?

[olive canyon]

-# nah, what we have now is the Brigantine (at least as it was named in the Demo), and the Brig was a different model
double checked the video, I had this backwards - we got the Brig from the video, and the Brigantine is the unreleased ship

[olive canyon]

not a lie, just unobtainable currently

[regal wagon]

It's in the game files, not released yet. Lot of stuff on that site is like that.

[south lion]

pretty sure ive seen someone usin this in game unless it was a modded server or just different textures

[regal wagon]

Probably modded server that unlocked it

[cold coyote]

Well, thanks for the heads up everyone.

[regal wagon]

One of the more useless aspects of dataminers honestly.

[leaden geyser]

Raft, boat, Cutter, Ketch, Brig, Brigantine, Galleon and Battleship (Man o War) is the progression I remember seeing somewhere. I think there is a Youtube on it.

[regal wagon]

Pre-release, pre-EA, subject to change.

[olive canyon]

unfortunately there's only one video, and the guy is... a bit heavy on his opinions in it

[leaden geyser]

Yeah I do not know if it is accurate, just remember seeing it

[olive canyon]

for sure - but I still hope that we'll see the ships, if for no reason other than they would add variety to the seas

[cobalt grove]

Probably the MMORPG progression, not the PVE RPG it is now

[regal wagon]

They'll definitely add more ships.

[cobalt grove]

They should add sea monsters in unclaimed waters.

[regal wagon]

Go back to S&B

[thorny lodge]

which first or it doesnt really matters

[olive canyon]

again, no doubt there 🤝
I just am fiending for more details since the models were so fleshed out

I expect Ashlands will come with a new ship of some kind, likely the 1st Rate since it seems to be their priority currently

[gentle cipher]

im finally going to get my own frigate soon

[hexed bramble]

I think Blackbeard ships are ok for fighting

[mellow fern]

Brethren has HP and cargo space, Blackbeard has bigger guns

[compact quail]

you can substitute hp and cargo
you cannot substitute attack power or speed
blackbeard is the best

[olive canyon]

I'd go Brethren for the Brig, as the extra health and storage is sick for midgame
Then I'd swap to Blackbeard when you make your Frigate, since you'll already have enough health and can REALLY lay on the firepower with 24s AND 36 pounders

[south lion]

i went with normal brig, the extra health helps a lot and still a lot better than ketch because of extra guns

[regal wagon]

Probably a 3rd rate. First rate will be a lot later. Since we already have a 5th. Would be an extreme jump from 5th to 1st.

[cobalt grove]

Im thinking Ashland update to arrive around October time?

[regal wagon]

Which, the galleon looked like a 3rd rate.

[olive canyon]

You think? I'd agree in theory, its just that I havent seen a ship in development between the Frigate and the 1st Rate
-# and I've scrolled through every message pre-EA from all the Devs, all the reddit posts they did, etc. 😭

[ancient charm]

no guaruntee, ashlands could be next year, and the 6 month update is about fixing building, mechanics, balancing, qol, and bugs, who knows. they might deem it better to add more coop features, or swimming. or things could be developed in parallel.

[olive canyon]

I suppose they could "reclass" it that way - though I do wonder whether the Galeon we saw and the Merchant we saw will end up being Player ships, or their own classes of ships, or what

[amber comet]

Im sorry yall but i just got the smasher and this is the most hilarious thing ive come across in this game so far lol

[olive canyon]

nah, Ashlands was explicitly said to be in six months

[ancient charm]

i dont recall the writing saying ashlands is in 6 months, ? did they even write the words ashlands?

[regal wagon]

Well, they don't really need to reclass it. And from the rare image it looks closer to a 3rd rate.

[leaden geyser]

Hunting boars with a smasher is pretty satisfying and down right hilarious.

[olive canyon]

they did, I'll see if I can find where 👍

[south lion]

all i remember seeing was the next "big" update was at least 6 months out. didnt see any mention of ashlands

[amber comet]

Thats quite literally this first thing i did as soon as I got the weapon

[ancient charm]

same, but i could be wrong, or it's another writing father is talking about i guess, its also true that a 50 man team can add mechanics, and develop content in parallel. so ashlands could come, even if the dev team is working on new mechanics.

[leaden geyser]

I am pretty sure that's what everyone does. Death to the boars! lol

[south lion]

yea im just going off what was said by the dev team themselves. im sure theres at least 10000 tiktok accounts posting when the ashlands update is

[urban ice]

I really hope soon we are able to start the game in the morning and full belly, not sunset and hungry. 😆 However, we are pirates and our life is not easy anyway.

[minor ginkgo]

Are we sure the 3rd island weapons are the best. The halnerth seems weaker then the S upgradable one.

[amber comet]

I still use dueling greatsword and the bloodsucker as a dual combo

[rose valley]

Are we allowed to talk about Item duplication here?

[south lion]

some foothills builds can be better but it just depends what your play style is

[thorny lodge]

any reason not to disassemble Ketch?

[cobalt grove]

Transportation storage

[minor ginkgo]

Conkisador halbert build. Love the zero knock back but I rarely hit people more then 4 times before they die

[south lion]

no reason unless you wanna keep it in your collection. you never know if the devs remove the ketch entirely and it becomes a rare boat

[amber comet]

It doesnt give that much useful mats back, may be good for map exploration

[south lion]

i use marksman and reliable musket. i 1 shot every enemy besides bosses

[minor ginkgo]

Yeah was thinking about that as well but farming quakmire needs a patch that's just aids XD

[south lion]

yea the thralls are annoying af

[upper bison]

they really had to move the other prisoners half a lightyear away

Stack sizes need adjustment as well but I love this game so far.

[gaunt patio]

ARRRR! Good day all! Nice to meet ye.

[upper bison]

arr matey g'day

[olive canyon]

Found it, was in one of their steam news posts:

[upper bison]

ashlands doesnt sound to tempting tbh
sound like hell above ground

[hearty epoch]

I disagree

[olive canyon]

hard disagree - go check the Capt Falcore vid of some promo gameplay
-# (pre-EA, so subject to change ofc)

[upper bison]

ait ill check

[hearty epoch]

trying not to pre-mourn the game considering I'm almost done with everything*

[ancient charm]

its still possible they can pivot from that to add new mechanics, or like i said, they can change apart of that claim 'fully switch to' part could change to putting half the team on ashlands, and the other half on some new mechanic or other aspects of the game. they could even hire an outside team really to do more stuff, and then which ever team finishes first, that will be release order.

need to see when they get closer to release time, what they are saying, and if they are saying it consistently.

[brittle sluice]

They clearly didnt put much thought into this server cross progression did they?

[olive canyon]

they could, but I expect ||(short of some major story change)|| that they'll stay with releasing Ashlands for the 6 month update

[summer terrace]

For the love of god why are you suggesting micro transactions and cosmetic packs when this game is one of the few that has robust features and has not yet been tainted by a Real Money Shop

[brittle sluice]

Nothing like sailing all of the way out to an island in my SP world just to discover ive already been here and looted chests on another server

But since islands spawn in different areas I have no clue where ive already been, peak game design

[hearty epoch]

game development isn't free, it's not going to stay like this for long

[final junco]

is there a way to remove death markers iv got like 5 i cannot get rid of and there is no loot to be picked up just cluttering my bloody screen

[upper bison]

damn im watching it now
this is some pirates of carribean sh*t

almost hell then

[olive canyon]

absolutely not, and they have no desire for microtransactions - they explicitly listed not wanting/liking that business model as one of the primary reasons they killed Crosswind

[worthy plover]

Hey yall. Just started this. How do you find servers? If you dont have an invite you cant play co-op?

[brittle sluice]

Do you realize how much fkin money they made my friend

[hearty epoch]

right click like you're removing map markers and they should disappear. sometimes it glitches and doesn't let you

[ancient charm]

there is a good chance they have a lot of ashlands done already, so they might be improving it, and in that sense delaying release, because they want to tie it in with swimming now, for example. (if they plan to add swimming/diving mechanics) or whatever is on their mind, we need a roadmap really.

[desert cobalt]

right click death marker on map

[undone niche]

Right click on the marker on the map

[open sonnet]

No big deal, they just need to change the save file structure to save character and progression differently progression could be tracked per server/world instead on the character level.

[summer terrace]

And that is why the game has a price tag and it is not free to play. They don't need to double dip. Stop being so trained by current market practices to think that it is normal to have to spend money for features that should just be included and unlockable in game by actually playing the game

[olive canyon]

this isnt a Live Service game. It's cash flow and business model is entirely different.

[final junco]

tried that yeserday didnt do anything guess ill try again

[vocal condor]

Screw the microtransactions I just want transmog 😭

[desert cobalt]

make sure the deathmarker highlights when hoverring over it

[final junco]

worked ty

[hearty epoch]

yes but that money dries up a lot quicker than you think, especially when you're trying to retain talent in a competitive market. I worked talent acquisition for a AAA studio for 2 years

[brittle sluice]

Game made over like 21 million dollars on launch day, its not a triple A studio

[formal plover]

you think people will just stop purchasing the game from here on out or? 😂

[brittle sluice]

They never expected to make this much money its literally Palworld all over again

[open sonnet]

building AAA titles takes years, a high degree of talent, and the best planning you can do. It's not trivial by any means.

[olive canyon]

Oh for sure - from the limited footage they've shown/released of Ashlands, it seems playable - so this period is most likely tidying up questlines, making/refining POIs, and working on whatever ship we're likely getting with the new region
-# would be my guess

[vocal condor]

AAA talent acquisition? You mean the same AAA that's been droppin f tier games for the last decade??????

[hearty epoch]

no, I think it'll follow the same patterns other games in the same area have. like Icarus, for example

[open sonnet]

Look at how long it took No Man's Sky to get it right.

[hearty epoch]

I'm not saying that like it's a mark of pride, I'm saying I've seen big budgets dry up for less lol it's just an opinion, idk why ya'll are so pressed about it

[brittle sluice]

NMS was a technical nightmare, Windrose may have well been a tileset game compared to it

[vocal condor]

Saying you worked as AAA talent acquisition is a detriment to your cred at this point tbh 😭 these studios and publishers keep screwing up

[timber badge]

No man's sky was not made by AAA dev's

[hearty epoch]

okedoke

[brittle sluice]

Sorry but Windrose isnt really a complicated marvel of achievement its a pretty basic and well used formula

[undone niche]

1. Do i like dlcs/skins? No. 2. Do i buy them? Yes. 3. Should Windrose have some? I dont care. 4. goto 1. 😉

[open sonnet]

yea NMS was all Indie for sure

[vocal condor]

I dont trust anything AAA at this point because of how much I've been burned by disappointing games and DLCs

[south lion]

any ubisoft or activision game inthe past 5 years..... lol

[timber badge]

yep, "thank you" Blizzard and the release of diablo 3

[vocal condor]

3? You mean 3 AND 4

[brittle sluice]

Skins will immediately ruin other visions for the game just the focus being taken off gameplay and moving to cosmetics alone would shift its development future

[timber badge]

they made a 4?

[vale mango]

should I build a new base on each island I goto when I start?

[south lion]

no buts its worth putting fast travels on the ones with copper mines if youre new

[hearty epoch]

unless they hired people specifically for cosmetics, like artists, etc.

[brittle sluice]

Wait for the damn game to be launched before asking for paid cosmetics atleast lol maybe a dev support skin

[vocal condor]

Only if you want to, not necessary if you build a fast travel bell

[vale mango]

@south liondo the copper mines respawn?

[brittle sluice]

Those same paid artists could go towards like actual in game armor

[south lion]

yes the ore respawns after 1 ingame day

[compact quail]

can it sing shanties?

[desert cobalt]

6 in game days

[vocal condor]

Ong id kill for a singing fish decoration

[south lion]

6? i thought it was only 1... maybe 1 hour or 6 ingame days

[desert cobalt]

it oinks if you poke it

[formal plover]

part of the fun in this game is exploring and unlocking things, so lets remove that by putting them in a real money shop

[summer terrace]

Let me swipe so I can be done with the game!

[compact quail]

[olive canyon]

6hrs from when you mined them last
same for Iron, Divi Divi, Plague Wood, and Ancient Debris

[vocal condor]

YES

[brittle sluice]

I wish there was more ambient sea like life dolphins following your ship and whales and such

[untold oriole]

Just 5?

[rancid sierra]

6 real life hours for ore. So you can log out, take a nap, sleep in game the entire time or not, file taxes, or knit aggressively... six hours.

[south lion]

probably closer to 10 lol

10 years ago still feels like 2010 for me

[summer terrace]

You can also just adjsut your PC's clock and re open the game

[untold oriole]

Honestly I'd say at least 20 for ubislop. They ruined rainbow six in the very early 2000s

[frozen current]

Is there any way to increase the game's difficulty now? Especially the health of bosses or monsters?

[olive canyon]

there likely will be more ambient life - if you dive in the water on the backish of Tortuga you'll see fish underwater, so its likely that "shoreline" ambience is already underway

[timber badge]

divi divi piles respawn?

[south lion]

seige was peakkkkkk like 2 years ago man

[untold oriole]

Raven shield was like 2003 though

[olive canyon]

Divi Divi respawn, yes - just not "this tree was exactly here and now it is back", but in their general spot

[south lion]

completely different game imo

[untold oriole]

That's the problem. It wasn't rainbow six anymore

[vocal condor]

You mean the piles at the one encampment?

[summer terrace]

There always has been when you edit your world settings, there are settings for that

[timber badge]

yeah, havn't seen the trees respawn in the forest, do i have to chop all the saplings down or stumps or?

[novel palm]

hey can somneone help

[south lion]

old rainbow was wayyyy more strategic for sure. now it feels like players are hard carried by their op which i dont like. 2-3 years ago was the sweet spot imo

[vocal condor]

Yes you must chop the stumps to get em to regrow

[untold oriole]

Go back to the 90s, that was the sweet spot

[south lion]

def not the sweet spot if i had to have dial up

[untold oriole]

Siege might as well just be part of the SWAT franchise cuz it's not rainbow six

[novel palm]

how to play windrose with frns dude

[south lion]

yea siege today isnt even worth playing. coplete slop nowadays

[vocal condor]

2019 was peak seige

[south lion]

host server - give friend invite code to server - done

[untold oriole]

Everything that came after covert ops essentials

Rideable truffles when?

[compact quail]

https://klipy.com/gifs/pig-bubbles-3--k01KQWJNS4WNMTXM6HADDA62KH3

[summer terrace]

you can also just shift+tab while in game and then right click on your friends name in the friends list and click invite to game that will get them right into your world, and then your invite code is automatically added to their recently played server list

[untold oriole]

https://tenor.com/view/man-riding-pig-lets-ride-omw-gif-8516259

[untold oriole]

Yeah, see? The waffle dude gets it

Truffles, my noble steed!

[desert cobalt]

truffles would go hard if he didn't disappear after 30 seconds

This picture makes me think of Americans. specifically wallmart americans.

[south lion]

european detected, any self respecting american knows walmart has 1 L in it

[compact quail]

sorry but bacon just isnt that great
even fried proscuito is better

[sly kiln]

Is there a place to find public servers to join?

[ancient charm]

there is no flat roof tile?

[olive canyon]

gotta use floors if you want true flat, for the time being

[sonic igloo]

does difficulty affect naval combat? I'm so bad at it I lose the upgraded blackbeard ketch

[compact quail]

#1493029476970270740 #1493010069682520138

[rocky charm]

I, too, get my americans from walmart

[untold oriole]

The kind with good bacon?

[grim stag]

Fried proscuito would get you hanged by the italians and if you aint able to make bacon great then you're just on the long list of white boys who cant season they food

[olive canyon]

Blackbeard Ketch is the flimsiest boat available iirc - you may want to scrap and get a ship with more health

[bold obsidian]

Try Bretheren. The BB ketch has very little health.

[south lion]

bacon does not need seasoning my dude

[compact quail]

yes, there is a setting specifically for that

[grim stag]

I bet you buy unsmoked.

[broken pewter]

i hate building roofs

[untold oriole]

We fought wars over spices, what do you mean, "can't season food?"

[south lion]

applewood smoked and cured thick cut. no seasonings. pan fried semi crisy edges

[keen estuary]

Yes
You can set 20% to 500% ai ship health and damage
Also try this if you wanna try something new with naval combat

[compact quail]

i find bacon gross
and i make a killer pineapple pizza with smoked proscuito

[grim stag]

Amazing I know, I still know afflicted people who would scowl at a pinch of salt

[rose sapphire]

well bacon IS seasoned in the cure. I use a lot of pepper and garlic when I'm curing slabs of belly

[sonic igloo]

i wouldn't mod a 2 week old game, that's just asking for trouble later

[desert cobalt]

pineapple on pizza is gross

[bold obsidian]

You really are here just for the controversy, huh.

[south lion]

well yea its salt cured which is why its already really salty. which is why it doesnt need more seasoning added

[grim stag]

You need to touch grass and learn to live outside of supported living

[rose sapphire]

also why I make my own, that injected crap is way too salty.

[grim stag]

Ironically, I am eating a pizza with proscuitto on it

[sonic igloo]

you should go touch grass together, it can be like a date, and you can continue this conversation there

[south lion]

i tend to agree. i dont each much bacon and when i do its on a burger or something. prolly the single worst food you can eat for your health lol

[grim stag]

Nah mate, I got a whacky backy Stick to roll and smoke

[delicate furnace]

Pineapple is fine being on pizza. it has been for years

[sonic igloo]

there is so much effort going in to you trying to be cool

[south lion]

spliffs in 2026? brother welfare exists now

[compact quail]

i dont have the place to smoke my own, but the meats over here in europe are miles better than the american slop anyway
plus i am not that big of a meat eater anyway

[chrome timber]

You missed the argument from last night. The mods had to step in.

[grim stag]

Why should the taxpayer pay for my vices? I make my own money and pay my own taxes, when it hits 5, im off the clock and answerable only to myself

[sonic igloo]

with this same kid? or what are you saying

[chrome timber]

It was something different.

[south lion]

american angus beef is the most eatenbeef in the world. american meat in walmart obviously sucks but to say ALL american meat is worse than europe is just wrong

[sonic igloo]

okay. you missed the movie i watched last night by not being there so, there.

[grim stag]

American beef and agri products are despised in europe

[untold oriole]

Clearly he never stepped foot in Amish land

[chrome timber]

Oh some serious beef is happening. 😅

[compact quail]

i am not saying there is no good stuff there. but for example if i go to my local supermarket and buy like a 2€ pack of ham, it is worlds better than a 3$ pack of ham in the us

[bold obsidian]

Yeah, but that's because Europe.
