You can redistribute stat points and talents points for free, anytime you want. Have fun my guy.

[trim oasis]

Since I went full vitality/agility, going back to a level 1 character and seeing how low the health bar is horrifying to say the least, even when I'm starving I got like 5 bars

[crude thicket]

Im level 3 currently with a halberd and 4 strength 4 endurance, but feeling like I'll be able to fight above my level a lot better witha ranged weapon build after realizing I WILL DIE trying to fight a single above my level or multiple at or above my level with a crude damage melee weapon.

[uncut gyro]

Hahha! Got 'em up out of the water!

[opaque kindle]

In any end-game or higher difficulty setting, parry is a huuuuuge factor in any fight. And I'm pretty sure all str based weps (correct me if I am wrong here) cannoy parry, only block.

[golden ore]

something people tend to miss is the game has a health gate system - you can never be 100-0'd no matter your life total, not in a single hit

[digital spindle]

Lmaoo

I feel im almost done with my game i just need to upgrade my loot its still level 6 😭

[trim oasis]

You can do a precision build with rapier and flintlock

[digital spindle]

And im lvl 12 as well

[trim oasis]

I mean I'm building vitality for soul eater sooo

Bonusss

[hot river]

I have one single hidden chest standing between me and lvl 15. Unfortunately I must be blind as a bat. I can only find 7/8 at Ancient Fire Sanctuary

[fiery vine]

i already know which one 🤣

[pine heart]

Just "finished" the current build.....only thing I didnt love was the lack of a closure quest after the priestess....Keep up the great work.....Tier 3 ships took a minute.......but they do some serious work!

[hot river]

any clues?

[pine heart]

In the tier 2 islands?

[hot river]

yes

[uncut gyro]

Huh. So my ship's cannon don't fire anything anymore. I get the puff of smoke and the blam, but no satisfying wooden crunch or damage.

[pine heart]

Its prolly the hidden wall chest that took me a day to find lol

[plain egret]

There’s a scrap wall to break down on the top level, and once u walk in it’s immediately at ur sharp left another scrap wall to break down with ur pickaxe, ez to miss for sure

[pine heart]

Assuming thats the one, in one of the rooms with the jars, its between that room and the next and you're looking towards the inside not the outside

[fiery vine]

THAT ROOM

[digital spindle]

Make it urs

[hot river]

Bingo! Thank you!!!!!!

[gaunt meteor]

Keep running around and looking, enjoy the pain!!!

[digital spindle]

So since u guys beat the game wut have yall been doing?

[fiery vine]

play other game

[radiant lion]

i was just on this one haha

[gaunt meteor]

Farming and Homesteading lol

[plain egret]

Farm plants, build some more around base, blast ships, farm materials, stocking up on everything … etc

[pine heart]

Im gunna finish buying everything then build a fancier base than my current singular house on the starting island 😂

[plain egret]

And occasionally helping ppl out with progression

[digital spindle]

I need to restock on money again

[pine heart]

How do you go about that? I just go to war with the sea on a Brethren Frigate

[plain egret]

My friends and I are currently in the cycle of me having the most time to play so I’m essentially prepping 4 players worth of resources

[digital spindle]

Idk dawg

I gad 6k i gave 3k to my hg and now i spent on 5 merchants

[plain egret]

Ye that sounds about right

[radiant lion]

im ready for war

[pine heart]

Killing the tier 3 warriors drops some good cash flow too

[analog viper]

just beat the game, havent had this much fun in a game in so long

[rapid goblet]

hola...

[pale vault]

Make a building outside the bonfire zone, hide your stuff under the floor. Stock the stuff they might need in bonfire range.

[analog viper]

now to wait 5 and a half months for the next content update 💔

[proper prism]

what does beat the game mean

[pale vault]

Swamp boss and I all current quests

[analog viper]

game is currently capped at progress since its a new release

[proper prism]

so you killed all the bosses and conquered every island and got the biggest ship?

[analog viper]

plus maxed all my armor, weapons, and ship

[plain egret]

Yep

[proper prism]

oh

[pale vault]

Remember there's altars on the first swamp island you go to for main quest. You can't read em at first.

[rancid sierra]

And after all of that... it is time... to finally play the game.

• Adds a flower pot in front of his cube house.
  Perfection.

[digital spindle]

So im at 600 silver

[pale vault]

This is the game

[uncut gyro]

anyone know if there's a way to fix ship cannon not firing any cannonballs? The only results I got for searching were for modded issues, but I nae be runnin' any mods

[pale vault]

Make sure they are equipped? Edit: I'm not jesting I run 3 boats so far. Stuff gets hectic when you have three fleets spawn at base and gold fever hit.

[analog viper]

are you using chainshot?

[uncut gyro]

I haven't tried them yet, but normal shot doesn't fire.

[azure cloak]

Anyone new or have a new toon they want to level with someone?

[uncut gyro]

Aye, they are. They're even alledgedly "perfectly ordered"

[pale vault]

Hmm I haven't used the perfectly ordered ones but don't they do a different timing than the other ones?

[uncut gyro]

Chain shot doesn't seem to change anything... but:

Okay, so next level of oddity: nothing comes out of any of my Brig's cannon, but my frigate's starboard cannon (both kinds) WILL fire. Tried both round shot and chain shot.

And to elaborate: I've been using all these just fine until just recently.

[fresh haven]

Sounds like you need to restart your cannons. Have you powered them off and back on?

[ionic vector]

Can only designate one ship at a time, so if your trying to use 2 at once, ummm

[pale vault]

Sometimes the boomer solutions just work.

[open sonnet]

A user was having a software problem today, and I had him reboot his PC, and it fixed the problem.

[uncut gyro]

The Frigate is my flagship, but I've been hopping into others as needed without issue until about 20 mins ago XD

[pine heart]

You can have multiple ships, personally I have my t2 ship set as my flagship and only take the big boy out for slaughter.....if I somehow manage to sink it I can summon my fast t2 to run 😂

[pale vault]

It's just good business

[analog viper]

does your brig support 24 pounders?

[uncut gyro]

I did already exit to main menu and load my world up again. Looks like next step is restart game, then restart compy.

After that I'll restart the whole internet 😈

[uncut gyro]

Aye, it's a Blackbeard frigate.

I was shocked at the 2kt speed difference. She real peppy!

[fresh haven]

Blackbeard frig holds 24 and 36 pounders

[plain egret]

Can try verify integrity on stream assuming u havent done it alr

[olive ermine]

Petition to be able to load all random seeds into any blunderbuss and when shooting a farm soil plot it just plants all of the seeds instantly

[dull tree]

is ten skill points right for lvl ten?

[wispy dew]

Played the beta and got this on release, just noticed there was a discord, lol. Hi everyone

[shy shuttle]

oh lol

[fallen ether]

of course the blackbeard varients have larger cannons. Blackedbeard even

[pure condor]

really wish this game had shields to use with 1hand weapons

[thick haven]

How many merchant stalls are there in total?

[olive ermine]

Ground combat is unfun and jank. Yes or no?

[pure condor]

3

[thick haven]

I got em all then 🙂

[wispy dew]

Mostly kite, bait a swing, then attack.. over and over and over and over

[olive ermine]

Ok... To the blacklist you go 🤣

[wispy dew]

Didn't say I liked it lol

[olive ermine]

Oh... Ok. Ok. So there is a potential ally

[wispy dew]

The body blocking by crewmates while I'm getting hit threw them after you board a ship made me almost break my keyboard

[dull tree]

kk

[fresh haven]

Is it jank or jenk? I always spelled with an E

[olive ermine]

It should be "jank" rite

[uncut gyro]

I've adapted to it now. It's not the cleanest, but it is consistent.

My favourite style is what I call "mosquito" combat, where I stack endurance and precision with a rapier and pistol. Poke poke run, poke poke run, repeat. Feels quite piratey 😄

[olive ermine]

I adapted too..but its stil unfun and insufferable

[uncut gyro]

hmm. stronger words than I'd use. It's better than Valheim, imo, and using targeting for solo combat is pretty okay.

[rancid sierra]

I do not have crab hands to properly move, dodge, and use the alt key to aim a pistol. So I go greatsword and blunderbuss. >.>
Not being able to attack cancel to dodge is... troublesome with my old man reaction speed.
"Oh. I'm going to get slapped halfway through this swing."

[fresh haven]

Yeah I would love dodge cancelling because some of these interactions feel like you need to be frame perfect...

[olive ermine]

Valhaim is in no way a proper measurement of what should be a gold standard for survival crafters.it does its own things. Id argue Windrose should carve out its on Identity over just rethreading other peoples (questionable) mechanics

[rancid sierra]

If I see Fallen Valkyries and Morgen out in the Ashlands, I'mma riot.

[abstract aspen]

always wondering whats so perfect about valheim tbh..its got a good base but ultimately did nothing with it :/

[olive ermine]

And that is their identity. The games persona. Difficult and irritating at times with bouts if fun romps with friends. But it does have its own ID. Just like the rest of the surival crafters.

[rancid sierra]

It always feels like you're improving. Each new island, each new biome, each new ore and bug part your pick up, all of it gives you new recipes and new gear to go to the next place.
The game feels rewarding.
Then you go blind in the mistlands in the purple fog, then you walk into the Ashlands. Shudder.
And then stay in the Ashlands for two years with tiny little dev notes talking about the north but not actually giving it to us... for two years... 🙁

[uncut gyro]

Of course. I was only comparing it to something I know, not trying to imply some sort of standard.

[spring nebula]

Finally tried my hand at farming. Growed some corn.

[olive ermine]

Nope. You are right tho. Your argument hits the nail on the head. People call windrose a pirate reskin of Valheim. And that is bad for Windrose

[uncut gyro]

I really don't agree with calling it a pirate reskin. This is a wildly different game 😄

[olive ermine]

Mechanics are almost 1:1 with it. Except its less punishing overall then the Viking version. Mind you this is a community sentiment

[abstract aspen]

if it was so much like valheim i def wouldnt have played it

[digital spindle]

Oof

[rancid sierra]

Palworld is a nice game that had been compared to one or two other games.... :p

[abstract aspen]

inspiration is there for sure..but i see other games in windrose as well

[fresh haven]

Bait...?

[olive ermine]

Yup. I think that other side should prevail a bit more! Give us more pirating less lowpoly Vikings 🙂

[abstract aspen]

thats a title and a half haha

[uncut gyro]

Yeah, I got very frustrated with Valheim after needing to sail for a half hour just to get my dumb corpse back.

I love 'em both, for sure. This is just a whole different game. I'm actually a little surprised, as I loathe the souls type games, but this souls-lite combat is pretty keen I gotta say.

[rancid sierra]

Nah. It has been called all of that before.
A lot of it because of building, or the glider aspect. The glider from Breath of the Wild is very memorable. A lot of other mechanics were similar to other games. Base building and pets was very Ark like, or minecraft like.

[fresh haven]

Ah. I never ended up playing Palworld but I saw a few designs of the pals (maybe cherrypicked) and they're very very very heavily inspired by certain pokemon 😭

[rancid sierra]

Enshrouded got slapped with the 'Valheim like' and 'BotW like' labels too. And Minecraft.

[olive ermine]

Souls-lite is a surefire way to make a combat system that is neither this nor that. Imo

[olive ermine]

That is silly tho. Enshrouded is really a different kind of beast.

[fast orchid]

Not only cherry picked but in some cases even Jerry rigged to be even more similar, it's a nothing burger honestly

[uncut gyro]

Huh. So restarted my game and verified file integrity. My brig still ain't firing any cannoballs (round, or chain). Waht teh fork?

[keen dove]

Did you equip it with cannons?

[olive ermine]

@uncut gyro it lacks mechanical depth of a true souls game and it is not snappy and arcady to be enjoyable. This combat is half measure

[abstract aspen]

omg remember the pokopia? "you can place a campfire!" and you immediately go "omg its just like valheim!" haha

[rancid sierra]

...I have a horrible idea.
Take all the gear off of it. Scrap it at the wharf, and rebuild it.

[fresh haven]

there's one that looked exactly like Lucario loool

[fast orchid]

I remember hitting a rock 2 seconds after too and saying "woah and Minecraft!"

[uncut gyro]

Ooooooh, a new thought! Thank ye, I shall immediately try.

[fast orchid]

Nah, Anubis is chill, he's got a much cooler outfit and is in a completely different size scale

[abstract aspen]

can you dive? cuz if so "omg its pokemon subnautica!"

[abstract aspen]

so uncanny

[fresh haven]

Like they even gave him the ears and the floppy things...

[magic igloo]

Can you Dive in this game at all????

[rancid sierra]

"All fox Pals are Eevees."
"...can't they just be... you know... foxes?"
"Eevees."

[olive ermine]

Not yet. But soon(dont quote me on this)

[rancid sierra]

This game and Valheim, no. Enshrouded, yes. Palworld.... I think no....

[fast orchid]

Lmao, no but I did say omg this is pokemon flight sim in Pokemon Violet at one point

[magic igloo]

I want to be able to do more on the ships then just fight. fishing and diving for loot would be amazing xD whaleing... WHALEING!!!!

[abstract aspen]

this was worse imo

[thick haven]

is there only the cooking fire pit or is there something that looks more like a stove/oven at some point?

[fast orchid]

It's almost like the thing they both based their designs in have similar defining features,

[fresh haven]

Can't believe Nintendo would repackage an indie game's assets 😭

[abstract aspen]

there is so many "can i copy you homework" mons in there..its crazy they didnt get issues for that

[delicate saffron]

just the cooking fire thing

[olive ermine]

The worst thing there is Nintendo tripping balls like they invented cute animorph proxy battles and suing everyone left and right

[rancid sierra]

Your Pal sheep looks just like our Pokemon sheep!
...Aren't they both... you know..... sheep?

[abstract aspen]

i wiiiiish there was something that looks more like an oven or stove-ish

[delicate saffron]

u can dress it up a bit tho thats what ive done

[uncut gyro]

Stripped my ship(s, had one of each, took 'em all down just in case), and only the brig's starboard cannon fire anything.

Any other ideas? 🙏

[digital spindle]

Overcooked!!

[fast orchid]

Because they come from the same country so the perception around creatures and their mythos are the same, like in the Lucario example the ears are literally just the ears of a jackel.

[olive ermine]

Yet.

[rancid sierra]

Only bad ones.
If you changed your keybinds, you might have to hit the cursed 'default' or 'reset' button.
But I don't know why your ships are suffering like that.

[uncut gyro]

it's not that the command does nothing. The cannon go BOOM, there's smoke an' fire, but no balls fly out. No damage caused. REAL weird

hodop, I sailed out to sea and started firing wildly, me cannonballs are back!

[gaunt meteor]

The reward for the final boss is ridiculous...

[olive ermine]

Pretend handcannons xD

[thick haven]

At least you can use the decor items like chairs and benches lol

[rancid sierra]

I think that's gonna be a bug report. Because it persisted past the ship being broken down and rebuilt...
Oh not. Grats. Hope it stays that way.

[delicate saffron]

ikr

[gaunt meteor]

You literally get better loot from Plague crushers

Last boss has bad loot cus Ashlands arent in

[rancid sierra]

Well, the last boss of the swamp is just there to unlock Ashlands, like Mr. Hands and the first guy.

[gaunt meteor]

Isreal hands had a great reward.

[olive ermine]

Noone likes that guy. He is handsy with everyone

[gaunt meteor]

Thomas Richards reward was also lame

[olive ermine]

Reward was personal revenge. And that has no price #edgy

[delicate saffron]

i wonder what kind of environment ashlands will be

[gaunt meteor]

I suspect quite warm and smoldering.

[delicate saffron]

a desert vibe would be cool

[rancid sierra]

I did not notice Keanu Reeves in the boss chamber, and had to go back and give Mr. Hands a second handshake a few days ago. >.>

Lets be honest, the fun parts of games are overrated, the true fun is wanting to throw your keyboard and curbstomp your monitor.

[rancid sierra]

Goat Leader launching me sixty yards down a mountainside was an experience, yes.

[lavish sentinel]

Goat Leader launching me into the water after using my last bit of stamina to fail a dodge attempt and drown with my last remaining health while ragdolled...

[gaunt meteor]

good times amiright?

[lavish sentinel]

He just thought I needed Hydration Ig

[olive ermine]

I swear Goat Leader is the one from Goat Simulator after running out of that gig

[gaunt meteor]

[lavish sentinel]

He gotta stay alive I'm afraid.

[green flare]

Blue stand in the lobby area

[mystic kiln]

boss is dead and he didnt get credit

[green flare]

I just told you how to fix it lol

[shell echo]

you'll have to re-kill the boss or he has, there is a button to redo it

[lavish sentinel]

Like Kronos said, use the blue thing to reset the boss trial

[gaunt meteor]

If it comes down to it ill join up and kill him while yall run on the edges of the arena lol

[mystic kiln]

ohhhhhh mb lmaooo I was wondering what that was

[wild hull]

is there

any setting to not drop your items after you die?

[tawdry oar]

no

[wild hull]

[tawdry oar]

At least you keep weapons foods potions armor etc so you have a chance of getting it back

[shell echo]

its already incredibly forgiving tbh

[tepid egret]

should be a option for loose inventory on death
Or itd be nice if you die and turned into a hih level drowned to figght to get ur stuff back

[shell echo]

if you didnt drop anything you would have almost 0 death penalty

[wild hull]

i just started playing, im struggling with combat a bit, sooo im dying a lot

[shell echo]

you will get better, also gear is insanely important, I recommend all your gear and weapons to be level 3 if you're fighting level 3 monsters and such

[tepid egret]

yeaaaa it be like that i still die lots ngl but it might just be me being silly

[olive ermine]

Gear lvl is everything. And bloody food. Make sure to be fed.

[pale vault]

bosses respawn on world load

[wild hull]

dodos and boars are hitting me harder than a wrecking ball T_T

[tawdry oar]

Stick and move!

[tepid egret]

if ur quick enough trap them in fences and then kill them

[wild hull]

but im enjoying the game so far!

[lavish sentinel]

Can't be stressed enough, never skimp on your food.
And also, took me a while to figure this out, Crude weapons Can't Perfect Block.

[wild hull]

im just bad at fighting stuff here, not complaying XD

[olive ermine]

Not sure why some weapons dont have perfect parry. Id change that immediately

[chrome timber]

I don’t know if I should be kind this week or not… hmm.

[pale vault]

there's a dodge button too so dont just parry and block. shake trees for coconuts, one you start getting boars down, raid some dodos for eggs and you got a decent meal

[olive ermine]

Dodge clears way too little distance

[lavish sentinel]

The sweet potato and meat dish is Goated Early on.

[pale vault]

but yeah the early boars wear our skins as their armor

[rancid sierra]

I was told this way too late in the game, but you can HOLD the control/dodge button and it'll keep dodging until you run out of stamina. :p

[chrome timber]

Instead of being a smart a** I’ll be nice. Use the block button (right mouse button) it will save your life. 😅

[pastel frigate]

Better not be a smart a**, you'll have somebody start complaying. @chrome timber

Thanks guys

[proper prism]

this game needs fish traps, the pole fishing is like a horse tranquilizer

[charred perch]

also needs locking doors and storage. seeing so many people talking about there stuff getting taken and even their bases being destroyed.

[vivid sun]

i am wondering as i am running around exploring i keep finding stuff on the ground on the shores and such is this ok to pick up??

[shell echo]

Are you on a server? If you're solo its stuff that got destroyed while certain monsters fight etc, some are aggressive towards each other (2nd biome spoiler if you're not there yet) could also be stuff you dropped earlier at some stage, it doesn't currently despawn afaik at all.

If you're talking about live crabs and stuff thats just normal way of gathering them, and logs and rocks that are lying around.

[pure condor]

buried a campfire

[green flare]

With how little effort fishing takes it’s fine. But if there’s more sea life or just general climbing and swimming mechanics. Then yeah fix fishing difficulty and depth

[shell echo]

whos lgio?

[pure condor]

funny u should say that cuz i drowned making the hole to put that campfire in the hole ended up becoming a square some how when i dug deep and i couldnt get out

[hasty swan]

and whats funny about heating a cold ocean

[raven dagger]

Just halberd isnt it? Does high damage and big range so guess its the trade off

[olive ermine]

[knotty harness]

Hit him more than he hits you.

[pale vault]

I went brethren but I like extended privateering.

Dodge that grab and slam and you get a bunch of free hits on him

[final crane]

get good at parry or cheese him with thousand cuts, you won't be able to do that with the next boss so strongly suggest parry practice

What do you mean? I killed Hands with 1K Cuts and a lot of running away.

[mellow solstice]

just got the game today, and tbh this might be peak pirate game already and I aint even really do much with my ship yet. Anywhere to post any kinda suggestions? cause tbh this whole "everyone is gonna swarm you and spam moves" makes combat kinda annoying, and I think it should definitely be at least "one dude steps forward, swap out sometimes/2v1s max" cause 8 dudes jumping me was NOT fun 😭

big tangent from Windrose, but:

What I love the most about getting Rickroll'd is that Rick sang that he's "never gonna give you up, let you down, run around, desert you", and then he had a kid with his wife and he basically quit his musical career to do exactly those things. I'm glad he got a (pretty zany) comeback. I love that guy 😄

[pale vault]

It's about baiting them, also remember you can build.

[golden ore]

i always laugh when i think of the time rick astley got rickrolled on reddit

[final crane]

dealing with "swarms" of dude is pretty easy in this game, just need to figure out what works for you

[rancid sierra]

The Halberd is great for telling a large amount of people to back off.
But for the pirate camps that have eight people in em, you just kinda have to bait them out in twos and threes. Rushing into the dead center of it... makes ya dead pretty quick at the start.

[uncut gyro]

lol I getcha, but like ... I'd be mad about getting rickrolled if he wasn't such a genuine good dude, y'know?

[mellow solstice]

Yeah what works is shooting one then running to drag out a few, but I feel like thats kinda cheesy and it would just be better gameplay to NOT have to aggro-pull all the time

[final crane]

you can always switch to a weapon that takes on larger groups like the saber or halbeard

[knotty harness]

I have found greatsword to be very nice for large groups. The heavy attack is a stab that goes out relatively quickly too, rather than a slow overhead smash. Stops attacks from whoever it hits.

[final crane]

still haven't tried that weapon out, I need to

[knotty harness]

If you have one, yes. I got a Dueling Greatsword pretty early on and it sorta ended up being my main weapon until I got the ghost sword. I still might switch back to it since its healing feature isn't on a timer

[final crane]

my go to is still a razer, makes me crit happy

[ashen flare]

Do we craft the epic weapons, or do they come out of the chest already as epic?

[golden ore]

i play a very defensive rapier/pistol setup with a focus on spacing - but i've many years of practice with the concepts/practice of spacing in melee souls-like combat so it's easy for me

the key is to not take swings with your weapon while enemies are taking uninterruptible swings themselves

recognizing which enemy attacks are interruptible is just practice

greatsword and halberd do a better job with staggering enemies etc

[final crane]

don't forget blunderbuss can yeet non-bosses in to the ocean 😄

[radiant lion]

wtf why cant i equip the 36 pounder

[knotty harness]

Only the Blackbeard Frigate can use that, and only one of them

[golden ore]

as of now, those are only slottable in the FIRST CANNON slot of the BLACKBEARD frigate

if you don't meet both conditions you can't use them

[knotty harness]

On the one hand I sort of want to build a BB Frigate at some point. On the other hand, I dunno where I'd put it

[radiant lion]

i hahve the blackbeard brig

[golden ore]

then you are not meeting one of the two prerequisites - the brig cannot have 36 pounders, only the bb frigate

[knotty harness]

I wonder if the dismantler can handle cannons..

[radiant lion]

ok

[golden ore]

of course

obviously realism isn't consistent in windrose at all but putting 36 pounders on a brig would be... pretty much suicidal

most pirate ships had just a couple sixpounders on the deck, they didn't actually want to fight ship to ship

even frigates struggled with breeching 36 pounders, so they were mostly found on ships of the line

[topaz snow]

I can already tell this game is going to become a new addiction.

[uncut gyro]

This is exactly why I want a peppy little ship with ~12 6-pounds and 4 12 pounds.

just a peppy li'l zipper with some poot to keep 'em at bay.

[golden ore]

yeah we can't even make sloops

ketches were typically merchant vessels

[regal wagon]

I need a 120 gun first rate with some 64s

[ashen flare]

Some people get hit by the crocodile and barely lose any HP, but I die in 4 hits from a boar. What do I need to upgrade?

[golden ore]

your armor

[surreal sierra]

Cutter is no longer available to players sadly. During the alpha it was the starter ship

Which is a Damb shame I loved the cutter

[golden ore]

oh makes sense, i wondered why the model decoration set had cutters but we cant build one

[ashen flare]

I have a level 5 pirate set.

[delicate furnace]

that is why

[proper prism]

you are becoming very powerful

[olive ermine]

New sea makes the cutter something something

[sour sundial]

I would've loved a cutter honestly. Hopefully it has a place in the game going forward and we can build it again.

[olive ermine]

The sea physics breat cutter. As soon as they figure it out, ny guess it will be back in the game... I mean Cutter is the logo

[uncut gyro]

Weeeiihh weeiihhh Bully in the Allley

[lavish python]

why the heck are we not aloud to use this as a bed when traveling?
it's right there.

[uncut gyro]

You preach to the choir, mon amis. We all want a shipboard hammock 😄

[rancid sierra]

Because the sharp grappling hook/anchor under it would bust your butt if you slept there.
(The game really exceptionally does not like moving beds.)

[earnest shuttle]

I do hope ship decoration will be a thing

[orchid ruin]

Nothing to see here, mateys. Just an accident...

[spice bane]

Can you drop silver? I dropped 1100 and it seems to have just disappeared

[hasty jasper]

awesome game lots of fun but if you want players to stay you have got to roll out some content updates, my buddy and I have already purchased everything upgraded ships have a full base and more coin than we will ever need nothing left to do but keep battling and boarding ships, while fun does get old very quickly. we need more content and maybe some pvp

[shell echo]

Agree somewhat but its already a good amount of great fun, even more if you like building and do another playthrough on a different map and such, can easily get you more fun per hour than a lot of other games where he cost per playtime hour is significantly more expensive.

[hasty jasper]

@shell echo true weve done the play through a few times

devs got to ad more and more content if they want to keep player base , for example once" light no fire " releases this game has no chance , come on a game with a world a 1 to 1 scale of the earth ..you'll never see all of the game in a life time and so much more to do

[keen dove]

Sail away!

[keen dove]

People will come back when they add more content if they leave

[feral kettle]

Everything is just to accessible for my tastes. The content is fine, but this game is so ... ultra casual. I mean being able to repec at will anytime, for zero cost. The ability to summon my ship to my feet...as long as i'm on the shore... at zero cost, no cool down. No death penalty? No fall damage? Night time comes does it get cold? Do I make a camp to stay warm or sleep through the night? NOPE. My "rested bonus" lasts nearly an hour and is matched automatically by my boat. I thought (THOUGHT) i was actually going ot have to work for my frigate as it (and its upgrades) need a lot of hard wood. Then I realized I had a vendor who would just order me 10 crates of hardwood for 500 silver coins. My base NEVER gets attacked. I honestly feel like i'm playing "creative mode". THEY MARKETED THIS AS A SURVIVAL GAME.

Neither did he. But a grandiose tryhard that didn't acknowledge that genuinely any other game would provide the nonsense he asked for was kinda ... became a cryptozoological being that just wanted the hardest BS for everyone because ONLY HE could do something fun.

Not saying that's you, but goddamn you're kinda seeming like it

[feral kettle]

All i do now is log on every 6 hours to go farm the ship wreck site with the silver ingots and that pirate excavation site for gold ingots, and then i upgrade my rings and necklaces and then (for free) respec into a different weapon/armor set and find out nothing is really as good as the plague halbard.

[pure dome]

uh i don't know where to ask this but is there a channel to find people to play with?? i just got the game and im a little turned around

[shell echo]

#1493029476970270740

[pure dome]

thank you

[keen dove]

I think this game is for exploration, discovery and fighting, being more accessible means that I don't have to stress out for food and water and being able to enjoy the combat, ship battles and exploof different POIs. The lack of fall damage or re-specing without cost I call all of those things quality of life features that I enjoy having

[feral kettle]

how is fall damage, and a death penalty the "hardest BS"? I feel like i'm playing a disney movie. No consequences in this one.

#💬│windrose-chat message

[fresh haven]

as long as you don't ask for pvp 😭

[feral kettle]

"enable" or "disable" pvp you can do it in valheim. And you can do it on the fly.

[keen dove]

This game has a lot of similarities with valheim but it is very different in terms of having way more quality of life features than valheim

[regal wagon]

#💬│windrose-chat message

[keen dove]

Exactly

[feral kettle]

I love the way you mine copper and iron. I love the way the smelters have a built in cue. But what other qol things are you talking about?

[keen dove]

In comparison to valheim, all the fast travel points are Connected, you can teleport from your boat or ship to any fast travel point, being able to use the resources from your chest for building, crafting and upgrading without having them in your own inventory, those are some examples

The drag and build option makes building much faster and more fun

[feral kettle]

oh yeah craft from containers is nice I don't play valheim w/ out that feature (which is not vanilla... its a mod).

[keen dove]

Exactly, if you compare vanilla to vanilla, Windrose has way more quality of life features than valheim and most survival games really

[feral kettle]

Maybe there will be some mods that give windrose a little more bite.

[keen dove]

What would you like to be modded ? I am curious

[feral kettle]

Well... 1) death penalty 2) fall damage 3) No free respecs 4) disable fast travel 5) no waypoints on maps (no quest hand holding) 6) if you're gonna have vendors sell stuff... don't let them sell it cheap. That's my quick and dirty list. Big problem I have is that Windrose is officially marketed and categorized as a survival game, specifically an "open-world pirate survival adventure"and I think any game w/ out a death penalty and without fall damage can't be a called a survival game.

[keen dove]

1, 2, 3, 4 and 6 nope for me personally. Number 5 you can do that

[feral kettle]

Let me ask you guys this... are you tired of sinking pirate ships and how many "rare combat repair kits" do you have in your base's inventory? Got enough Steel nails ? You haven't actually had to make your own repair kit. You literally get one (or more)ever time you loot a pirate. I just hope they have world settings that take the game out of create mode and make it what it is advertised as ...a pirate survival game.

[regal wagon]

Not really because I enjoy my 36 pounders. None because I sell them, No because I make more kits and sell those.

[keen dove]

You can start another playthrough that's what I did, i played 1 playthrough on normal now I am playing on hard

[feral kettle]

You can't sell them repair kits.

[fiery vine]

yes u can

[keen dove]

If you want a hardcore experience just go 500% difficulty settings

[regal wagon]

I never pick up white barrels, so I don't have any basic repair kits.

[delicate furnace]

the reg repair kits, you cant. the combat repair kits you can

[vestal cypress]

All survival crafting games have their "end game". Then things get repetitive. The trick to playing 3000+ hours is creating your own fun. On your own and with others. Build new things. Create challenges for yourself and your friends. Start new playthroughs with self imposed limitations. The possibilities are limited only by your imagination. Hope you have fun out there!

[keen dove]

You can at the Brethren of the Coast trader

[keen dove]

+1

[feral kettle]

So I can sell the 300 rare combat repair kits for silver... and then I can buy... more... bananas from my vendor.

Or show up in discord throwing a fit about a game thats barely past a month into early access.

[keen dove]

If you don't like the game then don't play it idk what else to tell you at this point

[feral kettle]

Like i said... Windrose is officially marketed and categorized as a survival game, specifically an "open-world pirate survival adventure"... that is where I feel cheated. good night folks.

[keen dove]

Sounds about right to me about open world survival, gn

[vestal cypress]

Some people just aren't survival crafting gamers who enjoy putting thousands of hours in as I described above. They'll move on to the next game. And the next... etc.

[golden ore]

not every game needs to be zomboid, and it's possible windrose adds a "hardcore mode" tickbox later 🤷‍♂️

[dire osprey]

New update asap

[delicate furnace]

dude is expecting endgame of a game that was out and about for 10 years from a game in EA for almost a month

[keen dove]

Yeah I agree, some people just play the game on normal difficulty finish the main quest line and bye bye

[regal wagon]

We get those quite often in this discord....It's rather odd.

[vestal cypress]

Yep. It tickles my brain that some people played Valheim (for example) for 50-60 hours. Killed Yagluth, then said, "this game needs more content".

[keen dove]

Yeah lol, I got 1300 hours in valheim, waiting for the 1.0 release now

[uncut gyro]

what

OHHH, YOU ARE Danny

[fresh haven]

It's EA holy hell... they're like 15 people, not a massive studio like Ubislop... they're aiming for October for new content lol

[keen dove]

My thoughts exactly

[queen pulsar]

Only like 70-80 hours of content nothing to do

[keen dove]

Yeah man 70 hours of content so low omg

[hoary ore]

did they change the requirements to make a fast travel bell? since when was it a level 2 station? I made one prior at a level 1 station

[keen dove]

I don't remember actually

[regal wagon]

They changed a few things iirc. Changed the cooldown on soul eater to 3 min as well.

[keen dove]

Wait what? When? Did not see any patch notes about that

[regal wagon]

Neither did I, but when I was messing around with it the other day it had a 3 min cooldown.

[keen dove]

I will check it out when I get home

[regal wagon]

I rarely use it, I prefer the plague halberd if I need a long stick.

[delicate furnace]

ikr? sadly people like them will never really enjoy a game even if a game company does put out "new content" daily cause they will always move the goal post and will probably ask for "new content" every second

[uneven pier]

It is the we cant read crowd, so we just click buy cause, youtube.

yea its satisfying feeling the difference after getting fully upgraded. i still have a bit to go before im maxed out. taking my time enjoying it

[keen dove]

Yeah I finished the Brethren quest with fighting the lvl 15 frigates and my Brethren Frigate absolutely demolished them on hard difficulty

[uneven pier]

30 gold for a Knife and Fork...sigh

Oh...and a Spoon

[chrome timber]

https://tenor.com/view/ghost-reverse-mw-cod-gif-15517702389221529206

Yeah you need to fully upgrade your Frigate to be able to fight that

[tidal dawn]

whats teh point of boarding the ship vs just destroying it? anyone know

[keen dove]

Inflation in Windrose too!

[fresh haven]

you get more loot @tidal dawn

[uneven pier]

Loot is alot higher

[olive ermine]

Boarding is the only way to get silver coins (from naval battles)

[tidal dawn]

oh okay It didnt seem worth so youre saying its worth the time to board them?

[keen dove]

If the enemy ship has a golden chest on top of it IF you board it you get a lot more piastre and some extra loot

[chrome timber]

Gasp I forgot about Bannerlords War Sails DLC! I can command a fleet. Fun times. 😅

[lament finch]

yea this is actually one element of the game i feel the devs need to tone down.... like, the primary reason i havent even bothered with any real base building outside of leaf huts is precisely because of how expensive the options are... like, im nearly lvl 10 and still havent bothered and soon on my way to doing 2nd boss stuff... is that really what they want? for us to sit in leaf huts till late game because the other options are gated?

[uneven pier]

No sh** 😄 (500 silver for guns, 10 gold for a Fork...)

[fresh haven]

Generally, I save boarding for the ships with the treasure icon. Otherwise it's not worth the time imho

[fresh haven]

Hey, you never know, that fork could cure cancer... 👀

[chrome timber]

It’s not trust me… so much disappointment. Plus they sink easily.

[tidal dawn]

perfect thank you guys I appreciate the support

[keen dove]

We would like the thank the smugglers for the exchange from piastre to gold and vice versa

[olive ermine]

@fresh haven @gaunt meteor why dislikes? You cant get paistre by sinking ships with cannons

[keen dove]

Much love back at you❤️

[fresh haven]

well i disliked it while it still said boarding was the only way to earn silver

[lament finch]

i first tried it with a brig... yea that was when i decided it was time to shelf that quest for now xD

[uneven pier]

its not though, its just the fastest way

[fresh haven]

definitely is most time efficient, but i'm a stickler for those absolutes

[keen dove]

Somehow I managed to do the first ship battles of the quest with the Brig on my normal playthrough, Keehold Hull and Stretch the Supplies book are so good lvl 10

[gaunt meteor]

You can pick up piastre in sea loot or by sinking ship. It seems to all be random and you dont get much though

[digital lark]

Man at this point I need Trailer 3 this week or I'm all in on the 2040 release date guess

[keen dove]

Might as well

[slim forge]

algun sv bueno?

[abstract aspen]

I'm surprised people are still looking forward to it..as someone who's played every gta.. my hype has been dead for a while now

[keen dove]

GTA San Andreas was peak for me, after that NOP

[gaunt meteor]

Hear me out, In order to combat video game addiction and do a public service, they could add little mandatory breaks and during those breaks maybe a short little video on products that they may want to purchase!

[lament finch]

GOOD LORD those frigates are BIG when you see them for the first time... still cant beleive i chose to take it on and somehow managed to live xD

[abstract aspen]

yeeees. it's also the most memorable for sure. so many good memes born from that gem haha

[keen dove]

And when the break hits you you can't play but the game is not paused so you just die by a dodo by the time it takes the ad to finish!

[keen dove]

You crazy

[gaunt meteor]

Well if thats a problem maybe they can just subscribe for a small recurring fee to dismiss the mandatory breaks for product placement

[lament finch]

well im not THAT crazy! nope nope NOPE!

[olive ermine]

But if you sign a premium package deal you can do product reviews for others!

[keen dove]

Sail away! Holy f***

[uneven pier]

if your ina frig and have lvl 13 guns, you will be fine 😄

Even with all the 3 crogs you cannot possibly take that

But think about the zone man!

I only think about cutting trees.

[gaunt meteor]

So adding customizable difficulty was like bait for you to master the game....

Pretty much

It works. So its master bait

why is my island surrounded by 14 enemy ships....

[keen dove]

They are on to you

[uneven pier]

you chose the wrong island...

[olive ermine]

IRS

[gaunt meteor]

The amount of enemy ships is too dang high

[tiny vector]

MY TREASURE

[olive ermine]

Yeah but when you upgrade cannons they fall like paper ships. Sadly current state of the game balances poor difficulty by swarming u with enemies to compensate sheer power u get from upgrading

[cosmic jackal]

You chose the right island. Easy access to silver coins, repair kits, coffee and salt 🙂

[gaunt meteor]

exactly. It becomes an annoyance rather than an event

[tiny vector]

true. one entire trip around my island and ill be even richer

[runic crown]

After I max rep with the factions what do i do with the insignias?

[uneven pier]

hoard them

[cosmic jackal]

Stockpile them

[gaunt meteor]

Build a container in the back of your settlement somewhere

[runic crown]

for what

[keen dove]

If it was too low then multiplayer would be way to easy

[velvet river]

On an unrelated note, can I interest someone in about 8,000 coconuts?

[uneven pier]

save them in your piggy bank

[cosmic jackal]

Ashlands might raise the rep limit

[olive ermine]

But its unbalanced for singleplayer to a certain point

[tiny vector]

throw them on the ground then flatten them with shovel. this destroys them

[gaunt meteor]

Right now its Dynasty Warriors with ships.

[golden ore]

the most correct answer is obviously save them until you can fill a pirate chest with them, then bury the chest somewhere on a remote island for later

[keen dove]

Hard to balance a game for singleplayer and multiplayer, it is fine for me tho

[olive ermine]

Apsolutely untrue lol

[keen dove]

I said for me not for you

[uneven pier]

well this might come as a bit of a shock, the game isnt finished yet, you hoard them for future updates.

[olive ermine]

I am not caring about your experience. You think 500% diff is "content". I am saying that its untrue that balancing the game for SP and MP is hard

[runic crown]

I wouldnt use them id start over i dont like starting wher ei lef toff

[gaunt meteor]

I might download a mod where you can sell them.

[keen dove]

Ok then give your feedback on the feedback page

[gaunt meteor]

What i really need to sell is coffee beans. im overflowing with them

[olive ermine]

I did! That why we all here

[gaunt meteor]

BTW, Four Coffee beans and Four Sugar to make coffee? Seems really unbalanced.

[keen dove]

Why is that?

[cosmic jackal]

Our characters live on Starbucks "coffee"

[uneven pier]

Trade? 😄

[gaunt meteor]

Do you drink coffee?

[keen dove]

Yes

[gaunt meteor]

So when you fill up the filter with the ground beans, do you then take a similar amount of sugar to put in your coffee after it has finished?

[delicate furnace]

I just use the shovel of absolute zero to delete excess mats I can't sell

[uneven pier]

i know plenty of ppl that have 4 sugars in coffee tbh (im not one of them, 1 is enough for me)

[slender karma]

Coffee beans

[olive ermine]

That feeling when even tho my musket is one shotting most enemies....shovel deletes things from universe and its absolutely op

[keen dove]

Yes

[gaunt meteor]

https://giphy.com/gifs/fvE2zWIJ4fumc

[keen dove]

Jk I don't drink coffee

And by the way I have no trouble making a ton of coffee in the game, idk why it is unbalanced, it does not have to be realistic, this is a game not a real life simulator

[thin yarrow]

Hello! I just got the game, any way I can play online from a selection of servers or is it invite to play online?

[final crane]

Fifty coffee beans,zero sugar,to make my liter of coffee very morning

[keen dove]

Invite others or find other players that have dedicated servers or local servers

[uneven pier]

is that a very day coffee? 😄

Water is also optional for coffee

[keen dove]

Meow has there been any announcements about stability updates for Linux yet? v.v vali wants to play so bad but crashes every minute in the games current state..

[final crane]

is there a linux binary or you running it on wine or something?

[hybrid wadi]

Steamdeck- it doesn't crash unless playing on a private co-op game though..
Solo it seems to be ok

[swift creek]

im doing fine on AMD-only linux, not that im doubting you. I did crash when I was hosting, but probably because I was running out of memory.

[final crane]

the game isn't Steamdeck certified yet, so your best bet is to go to the support page with your crash logs from proton

[hybrid wadi]

Yeah before the update we could play for awhile but in the middle of the ocean we crashed- now even without having anyone in the private game besides myself it crashes on the first minute

[oak arch]

[copper tendon]

Smug March is smug

[swift creek]

For reference I have 16GB of RAM, and hosting a game crashed me eventually, so I moved to a dedicated server. The server itself takes about 7GB to run. It does still crash sometimes though, but not nearly as often. More since the update (or maybe because we've advanced in the game)

[uncut plaza]

Just got home, is EU/NA and SEA services down?

[final crane]

I love sigma so much, once people figured out that alpha/beta was disproven by the same dude who came up with the concept; people switched to sigma XD

[tranquil dragon]

How does one deal with multiple enemies solo? This crap is so annoying. Especially in enclosed spaces like caves.

[swift creek]

Just don't deal with multiple enemies 🧠

[oak arch]

back off a lot, bait attacks then attack

[final crane]

practice and picking the right weapon, in most situations if you don't run straight in you only deal with 1-3 in front of you at any given time

[swift creek]

(Sacrifice Truffles, once you get him)

[lament finch]

you cant stack the grogs used on the ship can you?

[tranquil dragon]

so instead of parry just dash away

[oak arch]

yeah, until you get stamina back

[final crane]

yes, parry in group situations can be iffy if you aren't watching them carefully

[swift creek]

you can actually. At least i've tried with two

[tranquil dragon]

Right weapon? I just like sabers, that's all I know

[oak arch]

weapon doesnt matter that much

[tranquil dragon]

That's what I was doing wrong. I was trying to parry instead of backing off.

[final crane]

than you have a group weapon, just don't get absorbed in completing an attack sequence with it as the last one leaves you crazy vulnerable

[uneven pier]

you can get 3 attacks in before dodge/block if they are all in front with a saber.

[olive ermine]

Animations tend to be to long and they lock parries. So its not snappy. No bueno

[tranquil dragon]

So back off, do maybe 3 attacks tops, back off, repeat.

[final crane]

yes

[swift creek]

Could also go hardcore and not use target lock. Easier to get multiple enemies in one slash that way, and to parry. But its hard

[uneven pier]

hold block, then s+dodge to go straight back without turning your back

[olive ermine]

Untill u upgrade and then just roll everything

[tranquil dragon]

What about in enclosed spaces though? like caves or on a ship or something where jumping off will cause me to drown?

[swift creek]

On a ship you can totally jump off

[final crane]

dodge key without direction is a back hop, took me a moment to figure out this game doesn't need a direction key for that 😄

[oak arch]

dash, u can phase thru attacks when u dash

[olive ermine]

Good luck. Its worse in tight spaces and ship decks xD

[delicate furnace]

think I will test a temporal plague halberd build with bulwark set

[tranquil dragon]

You can get a dodge roll?

[olive ermine]

No. My suggestion was having double distance to our dash. Its too short. Combat is tedious and unfun

[tranquil dragon]

you mentioned an upgrade to the dash?

[final crane]

in caves you are dealing with 3 tops, make sure you have a clear room somewhere you can kite them to
on ships (some of them) you can actually get to high ground and they can't reach you, the most important thing on ships though is that your boarding gear is max level

[winter peak]

If you can dodge a bullet you can dodge a wrench

[tranquil dragon]

I had 3 crabs and 2 drowned.

[uneven pier]

Dude you think the whole game is tedious and unfun. Its ALL you bang on about

[final crane]

which rng god did you piss off? lol

[oak arch]

i use the plague halberd with 2 piece pikeman and 2 piece conquistador, its very tanky

[tranquil dragon]

I do not know. All of them I guess. One was armored 💀

[swift creek]

With "roll everything" he means steamroll once your character/weapon is upgraded. In the sense that you can easily kill lower level enemies

[winter peak]

Could be worse
https://www.reddit.com/r/crosswind/s/ckZBSC4hgM

[final crane]

I hate armored drowned, dudes don't know when to have their attacks paused

[olive ermine]

Yeah but enemies randomly cascade stack and outside of just spamming dodge there is no effective way to parry or dodge. The game requires you to compensate its shortcomings

[delicate furnace]

I'm more curious about the bulwark effect

[tranquil dragon]

Ooooooh. Okay. Oh yeah, where can I get build ideas?

[swift creek]

Alright grandpa lets get you to bed

[winter peak]

D..did you miss the joke or.. did I miss the joke

[spice bridge]

I like ships that have mini ships inside

[olive ermine]

I did for sure.

[tranquil dragon]

Wait these sets are good? or are you still early game?

[winter peak]

https://tenor.com/view/dodgewrench-dodgeball-gif-22028517

[oak arch]

ive 100% the game, but ive used the set for the whole game lol

[final crane]

if you want to tank they are good, everyone has their preference for armor set

[olive ermine]

There sre only few sets

[tranquil dragon]

so a set you can get VERY early is that good?

[final crane]

all armor sets you can get early

[tranquil dragon]

Wow. Okay. I'm running the 2 of the one that reduces stamina on swing and the 2 that give damage reduction

[olive ermine]

You will scale their def stat. Set bonuses stay the same thoughout

[summer mauve]

thoughts?

[uneven pier]

same

[oak arch]

ive also expiramented with other sets, max health and damage and stuff. ive gotten up to like 13 health bars and dealt 8k damage with certain sets before

[winter peak]

Joking aside, it's mostly about placement and getting enemies to peel off from other ones, granted this doesn't work for those lil' gremlin hunters but it's a 90% sound strategy

[tranquil dragon]

Wdym? Like the upgrades or base stats?

[olive ermine]

When upgrading armor sets you won't scale up set bonuses (like 15% melee dmg) just their armor stat. Its very barebones

[swift creek]

Honestly the most important thing is matching your gear level to your enemies' level. That isn't made very clear by the game at the moment

[uneven pier]

its item level that matter, if you gear level is under the lvl of the mobs, you take more damage and deal less damage, and vice versa

[winter peak]

No but this feature is common in games

[final crane]

weapon/armor upgrades are pretty much more important than anything else and agreed the game doesn't stress those level differences enough

[tranquil dragon]

Ah. My gear is level 1 rn 💀 I'm level 3.

[olive ermine]

Not this kind of clearcut rigid style.

[tranquil dragon]

It's upgraded a bit but.

[final crane]

most games it's just stats increased with level, this game has a flavor of stats + compare(item level, enemy level)

[winter peak]

Ubisoft games will literally pimp slap you back to a save if you're underlevelled, same with borderlands and tiny Tina wonderlands

[uneven pier]

priorities item upgrades always

[swift creek]

Not in any games I usually play. I tend to avoid MMO RPG types of things. Same way that the "unblockable attack" thing is common in souls games, but if you're a SOT or Ark player, you wont have seen that before.

[oak arch]

damage and defense both scale with enemy level, the # it says on ur weapon, like "355 crude" 355 = %100 of the damage u will do to an enemy of the same level as your weapon (without any external buffs), same with defense. for every level you are under/over your enemy you will do 12% extra/less if its a 1 level difference, 24% for 2 then its like 2.5% for every level after that

[solar holly]

if sea creatures are added this game will be crac

[tranquil dragon]

Hang on I'm confused. So if I got the sets early, would I have to RE-GET the sets later? or do I just keep upgrading them?

[olive ermine]

Yeah. A lot of bad games do this kind if "balance". It doesn't make it remotely good 😊

[oak arch]

you can keep upgrading them. you can also make them at any time, the blueprints save

[lament finch]

im a little late but NICE! that looks very cool! that crain i bet took the most work. lol

[tranquil dragon]

So I don't need to completely make a new set to get the "higher level"?

[swift creek]

You can keep upgrading them, but sometimes you can find a higher level version of it, which is cheaper to go with than upgrading from scratch. You can also eventually craft them at a higher level, which is also cheaper

[summer mauve]

it did

[oak arch]

no, unless you want different set bonuses just keep upgrading

[tranquil dragon]

By "higher level" you mean more upgrades naturally?

[final crane]

I've decided, I'm skipping work today to pirate the carrbian, after coffee

[winter peak]

I ain't saying it's bad or it's good but it's a pavlova effect, enshrouded has this too with the unsafe shroud that will kill you in 1 second flat

[oak arch]

say u make something at level 1, you can find a level 10 version of it later or something

[uneven pier]

https://tenor.com/view/decorar-pavlovas-azucar-glass-postre-mi-cocina-rapida-gif-14658644

[winter peak]

Blame autocorrect

[tranquil dragon]

Is level tied to upgrades/

[olive ermine]

Thats usually a map border or story progression gate. I can kill enemies in Enshrouded by using all of my skills. Gear lvl helps but is not essential.

[oak arch]

you upgrade to increase the level of your gear?

[final crane]

overall item level is, which is what directly effects your percentages

[winter peak]

Skulled enemies take an age to beat down and will slap you for a mistake

[copper tendon]

What do you guys think is the biggest ship they'll add as Playable?
You think they will go beyond something the size of a Galleon?

[tranquil dragon]

Okay THAT'S what was confusing me. I was unsure if I'd NEED to get a level 10 piece of gear or if I could upgrade my current set TO level 10 if I wanted

[oak arch]

Man o' War

[final crane]

https://tenor.com/view/macross-gif-5399668

[olive ermine]

Enshrouded combat is snappy and fun and let's me flex my skills without holding me back. Wr doesnt have this sadly

[tranquil dragon]

I thought upgrades JUST affected stats, not level. Turns out stats and level are basically one thing?

[swift creek]

Me when I don't have skill in the game but somehow it's the games fault

[oak arch]

you can upgrade or find, either or. id upgrade though, youre not guarenteed to find something at a higher level. usually the gear u find in an area should be close to ur current level

[copper tendon]

You think thell go up to the Ships of the Line? I mean, would be awesome af but I quake with fear thinking about the amount of Ressources we have to farm

[uneven pier]

Tip of the day: Man o War is a naval term for warship of any size.

[winter peak]

This level difference thing is common in games
Is my general point

[final crane]

not the same thing but both are involved in your dealing damage vs taking damage

[olive ermine]

To an extent yes. I agree. These mmo like hard coded power cliffs i dont find fun or intuitive tho

[swift creek]

Yeah, upgrading technically doesn't increase stats at all, just the level, which affects how much of your weapons damage actually gets applied.

[oak arch]

i dont think they'd increase the amount of resources much after the frigate but i think they'll make certain resources hard to get

[tranquil dragon]

Okay now I'm confused. Very much so. So would I have to get a level 10 piece of gear or could I upgrade a level 1 to level 10?

[oak arch]

you can upgrade

[final crane]

you upgrade your gear to level 10

[lunar vine]

you can upgrade 1 to max, as the game works right now

[tranquil dragon]

Okay. That's what I meant. I thought "upgrading" only boosted the defense, not the level. It looks like both are tied together in some form.

[copper tendon]

Yeah, getting the Ressources for the Frigate in the amount required was painfull.
Especially the Hardwood

[final crane]

iron hill wolves is a great example of how the level system works vs stat system

level 1-5 armor is 200 DEF at lvl 5 armor, wolves will kill you without food in one hit
level 10 armor is only a 100 DEF increase, because of the level though wolves can basically be shrugged off

[swift creek]

The game needs to explain this more clearly imo. For people who haven't played a system like this

[mystic kiln]

how do i use deadeye grog?

[oak arch]

yeah, it would probably be a similar number of resources, maybe a bit more? but also there will probably hard to obtain resources needed for it

[swift creek]

Ship action bar

[winter peak]

It's weirdly not that hard to keep up with as you can't do anything til the later areas anyway lol

[uneven pier]

quick slot it on your ship

[tranquil dragon]

So by doing the upgrade thing I CAN make my armor level 10. It's not that I have to go out of my way to find a duplicate set at a higher level.

[final crane]

correct, and this is done with armor, weapons, ship gear

[olive ermine]

Not at all. Its just the game pretends u need some 360 no scope skill but as soon as u upgrade gear thst requirement dissapears. Its a system that needs some tweaking imo

[uneven pier]

you will hit a soft cap due to resources required for higher levels

[tranquil dragon]

Okay. That's what I was worried about. I thought it was like most RPGs where if your gear was level 1 you'd have to go hunt for a higher level set then upgrade that.

[tranquil dragon]

Huh? Like the minecraft anvil or something?

[winter peak]

First area gets your gear to 5, second one once you taken the boss down to 10 with the new upgrades, third area with workbench upgrades to 15

[uneven pier]

yeah

[olive ermine]

I expected talent tree to be reworked. Maybe even armor sets too.

[final crane]

nah, and the same goes for the ascension system, it's an upgrade to your existing gear that simply unlocks an ability in the gear, doesn't change it's stats or level, don't need to find purple gear when you upgrade it yourself

[tranquil dragon]

So... I STILL would need to find higher level armor.

[final crane]

you do not
everything you can find you can upgrade

[swift creek]

No, you need to find resources from more difficult areas

[olive ermine]

Nope. U can just upgrade it

[winter peak]

You can upgrade everything you just need workbench upgrades

[uneven pier]

no, just discover the higher tier ore and make the upgrade for the armor/wepon benches

[tranquil dragon]

OOOOH. So it's like a temporary level restriction until you beat the boss

[final crane]

upgrading 1-5 requires materials in area level 1-5, upgrading 6-10 requires materials in a level 6-10 area

[uneven pier]

exactly like that

[olive ermine]

Its a progression story gate

[lament finch]

anyone else feel like the game could use a little more inventory space?

[tranquil dragon]

I heard about that. Okay, I thought you meant like once I hit a certain amount of upgrades I physically can't upgrade anymore. Minecraft anvil style. Outside of like, the level caps.

[winter peak]

You've had first inventory space

[uneven pier]

oh i asumed the Anvil in minecraft was liek Valhiem or in this game, its a upgrade for the weapon bench

[devout forge]

But what about second inventory space

[olive ermine]

You basically do same things over and over three times, once per each biome

[winter peak]

Ayyy

[tranquil dragon]

Yeah no, in minecraft if you upgrade your weapon to a certain point you physically can't upgrade it anymore because it'd be "too expensive". basically a way to prevent god weapons

[lament finch]

i dont think he knows about second inventory space ....

[winter peak]

[devout forge]

What about third inventory space? Crates? Baskets? FLAGSHIPS? Surely he knows about those

[tranquil dragon]

but I assume upgrading in this game is JUST tied to what the current level cap for that point in the game is?

[lament finch]

wouldnt count on it...

[swift creek]

max level for everything is 15 rn, yes. Likely to be raised in the future. Except faction reputation, thats capped to 4

[olive ermine]

Also for now

[winter peak]

Given we're in I'd assume a puddle of the map right now with so much more to sail and sea

[tranquil dragon]

Okay let me make sure I got this right:

I can find higher level gear, BUT I can also make my current sets INTO those higher level gears without having to completely swap out my set. Upgrades are only tied to the current level cap for that specific point in the game, and once I beat that boss I can upgrade to the next cap. Rince and repeat. I got that right?

[olive ermine]

Absolutely

[uneven pier]

bang on

[tranquil dragon]

aight cool. Sorry for the confusion LMAO.

[winter peak]

Not to add to the confusion but if you did accidentally toss your favourite sword into the scrapped you CAN remake gear set to a chosen level

[olive ermine]

As much as i disagree with many people here in regard to how bad melee combat is, this community is great and helpful.

[tranquil dragon]

and the only benefit of finding higher level gear is just that I have less upgrading to do, right? Basically less expensive by a bit

[swift creek]

Also: crafting a level 5 gear is cheaper than upgrading 1-5. You unlock the higher level crafting one you beat a boss

essentially yes, also though, it looks like as long as you don't import items from a different world, you will only loot one of each special weapon type in the world.

i can't guarantee that, but its been true so far for the first 2/3 of the game for me. Only thing i got more than one of were base green weapons.

[tranquil dragon]

So higher level gear is less expensive to upgrade and that's the only benefit. Because upgrading to the level is more expensive than crafting it

[oak arch]

Imo the melee combat is great, most people just approach it wrong

[winter peak]

So I'm not meant to open fire on the enemy with a musket?

[olive ermine]

I disagree with that 300%. But you are free to your take

[tranquil dragon]

Ngl for me the combat is a mixed bag. On one hand, it can be incredibly satisfying to hit a multi-parry. On the other, good god swinging my blade feels clunky

[olive ermine]

Moving to musket to deal with trash mobs and dodge the tedium of melee was a godsend

Hello, I just got new pet (boar). But how could I ride? it wll be great to help moving around faster,

[swift creek]

Snipin's a good job mate

[devout forge]

I like melee combat, the difficulties just need a bit of touching around imo

[tranquil dragon]

... You can get pets in this game?

[olive ermine]

Id like melee combat if this was year 2000. 🤣

[oak arch]

You just have to accept that youre not an unbeatable god like in most games, especially early game. You have to bait attacks, run around a lot, wait for stamina regen and dodge often.

[swift creek]

The issues with combat for me is mostly to do with boarding, and crew blocking you, stuff like that.

[spice bridge]

Aort of? More like summons for combat not super usefull

[olive ermine]

And getting stuck on ship geometry and bugging out like a spazzball. Horrendous

[tranquil dragon]

Aw man. I want a pet parrot 😭

[final crane]

Truffles is super useful and adorable

[swift creek]

Truffles is great canon fodder 10/10

[tranquil dragon]

Who is truffles. I must know.

[devout forge]

Ship combat is rough af because there is nothing stopping you from getting hit by a bunch of dudes at once. They don't cancel eachother out or block eachother or anything. Then yeah, getting stuck trying to dodge is a huge frustration

[winter peak]

I kinda want to add magic to it, give us those annoying totems that fire on enemjes

[shy lagoon]

pet's name ^^

[swift creek]

They should let us give him armor (mostly because that would be cute af)

[spice bridge]

Adorable yes, usefull? ehhhh here and therr

[tranquil dragon]

No, what is it.

[oak arch]

You can stand on the very front of a ketch and hit the enemy and they can't hit you. Same on brig on the back with the stairs, and the gun ports on the side of the frigate. Let your crew do most of the work though and 3rd party them.

[devout forge]

I wanna give him a hat so bad

[olive ermine]

This is a fact. Then queue randoms "gitgud" and helping the game become better by 0% 🤣

[devout forge]

Like I said, overall I enjoy the combat system with needing to block and dodge but it is far from perfect lolol

[pine depot]

ship combat is anything but hard dafuq

[olive ermine]

It got all the right parts. They just dont combine well at all 😎

[final crane]

And clothes,and a tiny house,maybe some cute armor

[tranquil dragon]

Where can I get builds and stuff?

[devout forge]

What I don't like is how to progress in the swamps you have to fight level 12-15 enemies to make the bars and on normal that is just...prohibitively difficult

[agile kite]

MY BUTT FULLA SHITTT!!! 😂😂😂 SUGGOOOIIII

[pine depot]

i swear some of you only played sims before

[oak arch]

So was getting 2 shot by a sprinting drowned at level 1 but you just thug it out yk

[swift creek]

You do need to git gud, to be fair. valid-ish criticism aside

[winter peak]

If you're still early on, you are better off waiting for that one as the placement of islands is random

[final crane]

This is a diet souls difficulty game,unless you go.to settings

[olive ermine]

I really dont. Melee needs to be checked out before i enjoy it.

[tranquil dragon]

I meant the level up stuff

[oak arch]

Get good

[winter peak]

Ohh armour and weapon bench lemme turn my pc on

[swift creek]

Sir this is a Wendy's, do that in the privacy of your home

[tranquil dragon]

Not what I meant either. The thing where I get new skills and buffs. And the stat points.

[raven dagger]

I always thought you didnt like melee because it was too easy lol

[green obsidian]

get enough for your bellows then upgrade your wepon and its manageable still not ez but ive had success gunning them down

[winter peak]

Oh uh let me turn my pc on and I'll show that lol

[tranquil dragon]

I was wondering where I can get help with those. I know what it is. I wanna figure out my build lmao.

[final crane]

What the game needs is a double barrel shotgun with a shooting meat hook and boss music that follows me around so they know when I'm coming

[olive ermine]

Its both easy and janky. Difficulty is fake. It takes too long and is unfun. I am one tapping enemies with musket and just breezing though the game without tedious fighting

[winter peak]

Like where to level up or what to level up?

[raven dagger]

Ship battles are fine i just try not to put myself in an area where i could get stuck, bit of waiting, watching and picking my targets

[tranquil dragon]

What to level up for my playstyle and allat

[pine depot]

You do not need any builds till later on. like 1-10 just pick whatever weapon feels right for you and upgrade the f out of your gear. Skill points just pick whatever your weapon uses. stock up on potions (regular ones, green and purple you'll barely ever use) bandages and food. Go have fun

[devout forge]

For sure, slowly working my way to bellows lol. Decided I was done after successfully clearing a group of hunters and thralls only to get diddled by a croc 😂

[raven dagger]

Different strokes i guess, that sounds unfun to me

[winter peak]

yeah use the early levels to play around with it, you can respec consequence free find what fits for you

[swift creek]

Also important to note: you can respec for free so you can try out a lot of things. For gear a little less so because you dont get upgrade materials back when you scrap them

[olive ermine]

Apsolutely true. With minor tweaks melee could feel and look better down the line.

[lament finch]

i dont have a problem with the combat. i feels fun and rewarding to me so far. it has its moments but so does any game really.

[pine depot]

most of your deaths will be annoying scuffs or being out of stamina

[oak arch]

Why are you complaining about melee then...

[swift creek]

Endurance and vitality is going to matter mostly in the early game. and the rest of the game

[winter peak]

ohdontforgetaboutfoodbuffs!

[tranquil dragon]

So what, for the first 10 levels I should invest mostly in vitality and endurance?

[devout forge]

The advice I give to my newbie friend is to focus vitality first, then endurance, then your stat of choice for weapon

[pine depot]

10-15 all you need is coffee and vitality food. dump everything else in main stat XD

[raven dagger]

Agree i think its fine if a little easy, playing on hard mode feels about right except numbers on ship boarding, make pirates stronger not more numerous maybe

[olive ermine]

There are people who will want to play melee and wil find same game behavior as i did. I belive that systems in place should be polished fully. I also want to do a different char down the line as i like the game. And that char would have different gameplay from this one. That is my angle

[raven dagger]

If your dying alot vitality....

[lament finch]

sounds like they have things in the right area then. you have hard mode for people who want a little more challenge. but if its turned up too difficult, its going to deter the normal casual player and make it less accessable. thats my take anyways.

[swift creek]

endurance is great for resource harvesting too. And if you find the prospector ring, ascend that bad boy. I am a dwarf and im digging a hole..

[oak arch]

Change the way you melee then... there's people (like me) who have no struggle with it.

[raven dagger]

Yeah the modes are a great balamce for different types and the fact you can change them mid game to suit is a W

[golden ore]

honestly i find it pretty trivial to avoid taking hits, so i never invested a single point in vitality - all in on damage, enemies can't hit me if they're corpses

[swift creek]

The humble plague hunter:
(based though)

[devout forge]

The first time a plague hunter curved a spear down the stairs at me...my heart sank 🤣

[golden ore]

they're not a threat unless i wasn't aware of them before engaging which is rare lol

^ i do appreciate that they are one of the few enemies that is able to sneak a hit in every now and then

[olive ermine]

I don't struggle with it anymore. Took my sweet time and i learned it. Its not fun. It feels like i am being held back. Its stiff and barebones. Like we are waiting for turns. You know. Its not about difficulty. Its about the basic experience that feels unpolished and incomplete. I hope i clarified it a bit

[swift creek]

NotCurar has +10 passive perception

[winter peak]

when they clump into a group and you can't bait them out is when they suck

[swift creek]

idk why but their melee attack feels so viscious to me. I feel it in my bones

[oak arch]

I know what you mean, Ive marked it up to being nerfed though. Especially early game and moving into new areas. In most games youre unbeatable, not really here tho

[golden ore]

that does suck actually, spookiest combat situation in the game by far really

[winter peak]

4 plague hunters proc'd my too angry to die in one volley

[swift creek]

And that is when I send in Truffles to die for me

[lament finch]

yea i agree that is excellent.

ive always said that there are two kinds of gamers: those who play for the challenge... and those who play for the experience....

those who play for the challenge play for that struggle as their drive. without something putting them to the test constantly they dont feel stimulated. they want that high octane adrenalin feeling in a game.

the ones who play for the experience, they dont care about the challenge or the difficulty. they are the rollplayers, the ones who stop and smell the roses, who just want to take in the game and enjoy the experience and the world. they are the ones after a hard days work who wants to kick back with their beer or whine in one hand while strolling about the world of the game their in while responding to discord and enjoying media on another screen.

neither playstyle is wrong. its just different types of gamers.

[golden ore]

that's when i whip out my pistol and feed them bullets

[devout forge]

Thought I had run far enough away from a wolf, stopped to check my map and got bit in the pirate's booty, scaring the crap out of me 🤣

[swift creek]

I like that im forced to struggle in a new area tbh. Like what, im gonna steamroll the game from start to finish?

[winter peak]

https://tenor.com/RySe.gif

[olive ermine]

Got it. I love a challenge. I got on autism run and did souls games untill i became parry/dodge master. But all of them had organic difficulty and depth. I dont have it here. It feels ... Lifeless. Melee feels low energy and lifeless!

[copper tendon]

Truffle was a god send in the Hands Boss Fight for me. Gave precious time sacrificing himself so I could pelt Hands with Shot after Shot from the Musket

[devout forge]

[golden ore]

lol playing with my very bad at video games fiancee, she made a funny comment - "you should be able to teleport to your corpse when you die" - i'm just like lol erm.. babe, you do realise that defeats the entire point of death, yes?

[olive ermine]

Free food when he reaches swamps 🙁

[lament finch]

lol, half the time thats what poor truffles feels like. a meat shield that buys you time. xD
