[final crane]

what you're looking at is a baby frigate, newborn so it hasn't grown up yet

[austere helm]

I love how many times I daily need to fix my damn windrose lol

[final crane]

it did say frigates were 20-50' wide, so there are tiny frigates, but I like my frigates like I like my tacos, thick

[subtle dune]

whats the difference between a blackbeard hauler and blackbeard transport

[final crane]

number of pew pews pointed at you

[subtle dune]

what has better loot tho

[final crane]

oh thats totally RNG, you just want the highest level of whatever you can attack for silver

[subtle dune]

both are 8 :/

[sand hound]

Man its difficult to get dutch blueprints of age of sail ships. At least from what I can see.

[sand hound]

wheezes

..I really want a Fluyt ship 😩

[final crane]

I just want the space battleship yamamoto or macross, they both technically float

[cold flume]

Is there a difference between two frigates (in terms of location of the cannons). I found difficult for a coop player to access the cannons while on my ship with the black beard frigate. and was thinking at changing it for the brethren, hoping clicking E on the cannons will be easier...

[lucid bough]

Every time I load up a solo/offline world I get stuck in an endless loading screen. No error code, no crash. Just nothing. No audio. The "loading" text on the screen actually gets slightly bigger and thats when the freeze happens. Idk if thats relevant.

I've tried creating new worlds, I've tried deleting the "saved" file, I've tried the cloud saves thing, nothing works.

There is a corrupt file somewhere but I dont want to go around deleting things in fear of losing my character. The issue only started today. I was able to load up my solo world a few days ago.

I can also load into my buddy's multiplayer server just fine.

What other fixes are there? I've already asked in the #1493364524705775657 and #🚧│tech-support and made a post in #1493348541177794601. Just havent gotten a solid answer from anyone yet.

[upper bison]

Progress so far

[final crane]

Lets spice it up. SoT is superior to Blackflag and Windrose is the least favorite pirate game

[cold flume]

😛 blackflag is my favorite, yet, windrose is cool 😉

[pure tundra]

Will there be a battleship/manOwar in the next update??

[spice bridge]

Well i agree if you compare all the pirste games SoT is on a whole dif level

[brave lynx]

Has anyone completed the mystery of the expedition quest? how many ancient graves do i need to find? i m still missing 2 items in the journal memoires of a ghost, im clearing all fog with my frigate looking for more ancient graves

[deep rampart]

https://tenor.com/view/pirate-autopirate-selfdriven-automatic-gif-9475387

[spice bridge]

You need to find the graves its on random islands and you dont have a marker

[rustic sage]

can i do anything with dodo head? can i hang it on a wall or smth?

[spice bridge]

yes yes yes

[deep rampart]

After you kill a certain number of them

[brave lynx]

ok, that i knew already, the question was, how many

[spice bridge]

like idk 3-4? dosent itnsay on the quest?

[cold flume]

can we have 3 grogs working at the same time or only two ?

[rustic sage]

but a normal dodo head i got from killing dodo randomly, what can i do with that?

[brave lynx]

i think i need to find 2 more, still missing 2 items in the journal

[spice bridge]

there you go then

[deep rampart]

Once you unlock the trophy blueprint can make one. Or sell them to the buccaneers

[rustic sage]

ohhh so when i kill 20 its a blueprint unlock? ohh my bad, alright then!

[brave lynx]

yes, and i have been going, a long time now, exhausting my crewmen, cleaning the oceans of blackbeards ships as we go, still looking for more islands with a POI marker

[rapid condor]

[spice bridge]

noooo worries

[fast orchid]

Ok but I'd also like to add that it's not the place to share your ff14 streams

[rustic sage]

anyone know why these ships are so close to my camp, they have been here for like half an hour now

[fast orchid]

If / when you're streaming Windrose that's a different story

[south lion]

maybe your camp is too close to those ships(the water is deep enough there for them to spawn close

[surreal sierra]

I read 'stream windrose'. Am in the middle of coursework so forgive if I skim read

[edgy saddle]

;-;

[fast orchid]

It's ok, it was mostly for their reference anyways

[rustic sage]

ah, but they attack me everytime i go on my ship i cant really do nuthin, i am living on the starter island tho

[south lion]

fast travel somewhere else and they might depsawn after a bit. or rejoin

[rustic sage]

they just shot my ship 😭

[south lion]

ifyou spawn the small boat they cant shoot you

[rustic sage]

i wasnt even on it this time, i just heard cannons shooting

[south lion]

just gotta sink em bruh idk what to tell you

[subtle dune]

how come theyre not at my base

[rustic sage]

i almost died just trying to sink one, i cant imagine 3 😭🙏

but ill try to despawn them or box them in with building >:)

[tranquil rapids]

Did you assign them at their respective work stations?

[south lion]

do they all have beds

[frank finch]

They don't need em

[subtle dune]

now i did, do they need beeds?

[south lion]

fr? i thought they needed beds and the work station

[frank finch]

Just the work station. We have 1 bed and 1 chair

[rancid sierra]

You have to click the work station they use to summon them. So the tailor is summoned at the armor workbench, and mortar joe is summoned at the Mill.

[olive canyon]

enemy NPC ships seem to have two ways to aggro, either:

• you're on your ship, and they become aware of you (you enter their range, or they enter yours)
  or
• you're near enough to your ship that they still are in a "seeking combat" state and will fire upon your ship regardless of whether you are onboard or not

I'm not certain what the radius is regarding the latter, but through gameplay I noticed that if I was far enough away from my ship enemies would literally sail into it as if it wasnt there without firing upon it, but the second I got too close they would go aggro and start taking cheap shots

anyway, if they are bothering you here's a trick to remember:
heading to the Main Menu and then logging back in will despawn all NPC ships not associated with a quest

[olive canyon]

pattern thus far is that each new Region brings a new ship - so likely when Ashlands comes we'll get one then
that will likely either be the Ship of the Line that has been shown, or the Galleon that has been shown
-# Man o War isnt technically a ship class, more just "this is a fighting ship", so unlikely we'll see one straight up called that

[frank finch]

I hope they slow down on this they don't have much to go before they run out of feasible ships

[brittle lava]

There's a lot of ships

[regal wagon]

Honestly, as much as it sucks. Best bet is to put the base on another shore on the island. We had to do that on my buddy's island because we got tired of always having 1-2 gun boats running into our ships.

[frank finch]

Not if they keep following the pattern of "bigger"

[brittle lava]

There's still a lot of ships

[queen reef]

That ship of the line will be slooowwww. I'm guessing 15 knots straight turtle speed

[frank finch]

They need to pivot into 'sidegrades'

[fresh ferry]

any one help me out with a plague breaker recipe?

[brittle lava]

Underestimate not the variety of ships made irl back then

[olive canyon]

eh - each Region is a ton of work, so its not like we'll be hitting the theoretical "limit" anytime soon
as for "Bigger" with each Region, that has been the pattern thus far, but I could totally see that shift too depending on if a new Region has some reason to prioritize something else
-# i.e. if a Region introduces Traveling Merchant Ships and some mechanic around that, maybe we'll get a ship type that has less firepower but an obscene amount of cargo space

[brittle lava]

My loot goblin self would love a ship with insane storage

[olive canyon]

I'd love some way to have more than one "Flagship", even if it comes at some pricey cost

[deep rampart]

I want smaller ships to sail as escorts but would need a revamp of ship ai. So you could be on your frigate with a brig and ketch tagging along

[regal sun]

recently joined a server named Varga-Tech. Anyone knows? since than i can not enter my game anymore. only to the main menue. after clicking start - game crashes oder kicks me back. i can only join the varga tech server no other server anymore.
can anyone help?

[olive canyon]

def need a revamp of ally ship ai before that could ever happen 😭
they dont even know to stop shooting when I have an enemy in "Boarding Ready" state

[frank finch]

Some respawn mechanic during boarding too. AI targeting, spawns, ship geometry, ship aggro all come together to some miserable moments sometimes

[olive canyon]

personally, the only way I can see them adding back "respawn on ship" would be as a difficulty toggle - the old Crosswind system had it, but they removed it when Boarding changed from a "your death count vs theirs" system to a "kill X number of enemies"

[frank finch]

Why did they make it boring tho

[regal wagon]

Honestly, I'd prefer a crew count.

[olive canyon]

I could totally see folks wanting either system tbqh
and I'd be happy to be wrong, but I just dont see Kraken undoing their swap over to swap back 😔
so best case scenario would be a toggle to allow you to respawn onboard - or maybe some purchasable upgrade for your ship that way there's player investment in order to get the advantage

[uncut briar]

I want to be able to purchase or take over ships to follow up around and battle with you, that would be cool

[regal wagon]

Fleet mechanics would be amazing.

[olive canyon]

I get why we can't just commandeer ships for ourselves, as that would completely negate a HUGE portion of the gameplay loop for building our own ships, BUT
I would love to see some system for once you hit Rank X with a Faction you can now choose to Sell a captured ship to them, or Sink as is the current default

[fair wave]

I just want more building tiles

[frank finch]

They could do the GTA online thing, steal ships can't store them

[past jewel]

insignias need worth after maxingf rep

[tepid egret]

i love that the mesh is made this way so they cant get me

[bleak ore]

has anyone recently successfully backed up and restored a multiplayer world to a point earlier in time

[olive canyon]

we have good reason to believe that Factions will get a rep cap increase in the future - so hold on to them
-# though I do agree - personally I think certain Faction specific items like Hull Colors / Flags should be purchased with a combo of gold + rep

[frank finch]

I need insignias to have their own storage or something they just clutter too much atm

But that's also true of most of the smuggler drops

[tepid egret]

is there something going wrong for you? ive made backups of my server world and ive gone back once in one to take early pictures of our town for comparison

[olive canyon]

I just have a lil storage box on my dock that I throw any extra insignias and "sellables" into - once it has a good few goodies in it then I bother doing a run to all the Faction hubs and sell off stuff

[umbral yarrow]

got the big one

[stone nimbus]

morning all new here I have a dumb question thats been answered more then I am sure can be stood.. but can some one tell me if the plague area trees respawn after a while

[bleak ore]

no, at this point i just want to store periodic backups of my multiplayer game i'm hosting and want to make sure i'm backing up the right thing... do i just copy off the whole SaveProfile?

[frank finch]

I'm running around the foothills trying to get sugar, iron and rum and they keep trying to fill my slots with green insignias when I'd auto delete em if I could

[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

[stone nimbus]

how long does it take ? Plz and TY

[umbral yarrow]

3-4 ingame days for dividivi, plague are bit weirder for me atleast

[tepid egret]

I usually only save the default profile and then date the file name once i save it and if I need to use it i just replace the name with the original string of numbers or the "Default" name

[olive canyon]

Divi Divi and Plague are on the same 6hr irl timer as Ores - though the Plague in particular is finicky in that the "patches" that regrow are harder to differentiate - you cant just clear ANY Plague Tree and expect it to grow back

[stone nimbus]

The plague one have yet to come back for me, hence the question.

[olive canyon]

Here's the Dev comment on it: #💬│windrose-chat message

[stone nimbus]

Thank you kindly!

[bleak ore]

i'm looking at local folders, but i assume it's a similar process

[uncut briar]

do plants grow bigger after day 1, if so, when is max days before plucking? (ones you farm)

[delicate furnace]

nope. its at its max in 1hr

[uncut briar]

ohhh.. i swear my big trees grew bigger after couple days, guess just dreaming lol

[vale violet]

I don't know the exact times, but it's faster to farm than it is to order from the merchant. I found that out the hard way.

[delicate furnace]

they did fix the ficus trees I think could have sworn I got 10 wood compared to before where it was just 1

[uncut briar]

i havent found a use for merchants yet, stuff they provide i can get faster just grinding it lol

[opaque tendon]

Where is the option designed for 150-200 hours in voting, why is there 75-100, but not 150, and immediately 200+?

[upper bison]

So is the rapeir of a thousand cuts considered one of the best in game?

[delicate furnace]

if its 1 vs your gathering yeah you will beat it

[vale violet]

Yeah, I used them to get wood and flax for my frigate build. I got tired of all the running back and forth.

[olive canyon]

if you play with others someone may have accidentally "harvested" your shrub and then replanted it - the height of shrubs is randomized each time you plant one

[olive canyon]

it is very good, but very simple
personally I prefer the Arboris Saber

[vale violet]

I play solo. It's ALOT of running around.

[upper bison]

welp i got a lvl 10 dueling saber atm, and i kinda wanna replace it soon

[karmic isle]

how do u farm mystery spice

[olive canyon]

nothing wrong with switching up the builds - try a few out and see what you like and what fits your playstyle!

[delicate furnace]

if you got 20+ merchants delivering 500 wood to you at the same time, you can just focus on building that whole 70 mins it takes

[upper bison]

yuh, tho i prefer slash more than piece

[uncut briar]

I love the bleeding sword, not sure name, use it all the time

[olive canyon]

honestly, I just go to the Tumbaga Ingot respawn ruins - lots of higher tier Plague enemies there that will drop some

[vale violet]

I love the thousand cuts rapier except for ship boarding. you just don't have the room to dodge etc. I think a strength weapon is probably better.

[upper bison]

i think its the thousand cuts

[uncut briar]

oh snap, ya that one, i got that one when I was like level 7 lol, been using it since

[regal wagon]

I use the plague halberd for boarding.

[vale violet]

I haven't gotten that far yet. i'm on my first swamp island

[upper bison]

i'd rather have the speed tbh

[keen dove]

Yeah 500% difficulty is not happening, I died 10 times already

[tepid egret]

thats why i get to the front of the ship and usualyl they get stuck behind the canons

[tacit pine]

i still think the bleed needs a buff tbh, 25 just doesnt really help for higher levels even when its upgraded

[upper bison]

i'd love it if it wasnt just 125 pierce

[uncut briar]

i want the grenade bombs the enemy pirates use, that would be fun

[dire beacon]

stern chasers when? xD

[vale violet]

I try to stand up on the edge of the boat and shoot as many as I can. before jumping down and dying

[olive canyon]

I'm fairly certain we saw a Player use those in one of the trailers, so hopefully we get them 🤞

[tacit pine]

that too, i use the devasting rapier, since it heals you when you finish enemies off with a heavy attack

[olive canyon]

-# insert copypasta response from earlier discussion on these:
I recall there were captains around the time that thought installing rear cannons was cowardly, and some would even remove them as a point of pride - those were enlisted men with the British, so it is hard to say how much of that sentiment carried on through Privateers and Pirates

on top of that, in reality, Pirates werent nearly as guns-ablazing as we fantasize - it was better business to scare than to harm.

and finally, if you're a pirate ship and YOU'RE the one running, odds are you're royally screwed regardless 😭

[upper bison]

tbh might stick with the saber.
I'd rather have more base damage so i can finish off an enemy quick

125 pierce is like nothing, it'd take ages

[delicate furnace]

I ended up going plague halberd with crude ring and talent build cause I want my pickaxe and woodcutter to do more dmg to trees and ore nodes

[tacit pine]

the devastation rapier has 210 pierce btw way more then a thousand cuts

[upper bison]

now that's better, what's the effect on it tho? and when do i get i lol

[vale violet]

one of my favorite shows ever was Black Sails on HBO. Loved it. I dont think it's historically accurate though.

[upper bison]

i also got something intersting called the soul eater

[regal wagon]

Random from a chest in the swamps. Also, effect is every poke stacks a modifier on the enemy, max 8. Heavy attack uses all stacks to do bonus damage. Ascending it makes it so at 5 stacks it gives back 30% health (I think, can't remember exactly the number)

[delicate furnace]

if only it didn't have a timer cd

[tacit pine]

i got mine till i reached the swamps (i think i got it from an ancient farm skele)

[upper bison]

welp i just got to the swamps
haven't ran this much since i reached the foothills lol

[tacit pine]

its 30

[dire beacon]

i mean in enlisted men sure but pirates would definitely want an edge especially if its "unfair" or "dirty" to do. Now if it provided too much weight on the vessel I could see that.

[regal wagon]

We have 36 pounders on a frigate. "Weight" isn't a concern.

[upper bison]

they slow tho

[south lion]

18 knots on a fully loaded frigate is pretty quick. at least in realistic terms

[regal wagon]

But they hit like a freight train.

[upper bison]

https://tenor.com/view/funny-iliketrains-trains-gif-4905803

[spice bridge]

36 ans 24 no debate pls

[upper bison]

can they be fitted both top and bottom?
I got 24pd atm, just so i can fit them to the other frigate types

[tacit pine]

heres the stats of it

[regal wagon]

Nope, on BB Frigate 36 pounders are the main gun deck with 24s on the top deck.

[upper bison]

so the plague thing is kinda lika bleeding?

[tacit pine]

no its just a build up till you heavy attack then it heals you

[upper bison]

oh okay lol

[olive canyon]

potentially - would certainly vary pirate to pirate
as for gameplay, I would personally prefer something like Explosive Barrels that we drop in our wake, rather than another set of cannons

[tacit pine]

but the more plague build up the more damage your heavy does

[upper bison]

Might keep the 24s in that case then

I wish we had 2 rear facing guns on the frigate tho

[dire beacon]

I mean they dont have to be effective to sink. Just effective to slow ships that are in pursuit also that could be where sail cutter like ammo could shine.

[south lion]

a battering ram option on the front of the boat would be pretty cool

[tacit pine]

lower deck has way more guns then top get the 36lb trust me its worth

[olive canyon]

nah - you're giving up "Tick Damage" for a powerful attack - for example, the Plague Halberd instantly restores 30% of your max health when you fire off the Special Attack - regardless of whether you hit anything with that attack

[regal wagon]

Bar shot really needs a bit of a buff, at least if fired out of chase guns.

[upper bison]

i just built myself a second frigate lol

[olive canyon]

fr - I just want to split a Gunboat in two with my Frigate

[upper bison]

black flag ahh

[south lion]

it would be so satisfying to just float over top of a gunboat and split it in two

[ember skiff]

my game crashed twice in 10 minutes, never had a single crash before is this just happening to me now?

[upper bison]

it'd be badass
brigs too

[olive canyon]

there's a reason Black Flag's been the goalpost for pirate ship combat for over a decade

[upper bison]

true that
windrose is doing a great job too tho

[south lion]

ketch mountable CWIS when?

[regal wagon]

One thing I want added. Make it so some trash little level 2 gunboat DOESN'T throw hands with a fully kitted level 15 frigate. Like, you're not even worth the single broadside of 24s.

[olive canyon]

100% - and the rest of Windrose certainly more than makes up for whatever difference in ship combat remains

[karmic isle]

anyone else just skipping the boat stuff, aint nobody got time for that

[upper bison]

They should implement something where you could capture ships, repair them, and use them for your own fleet row a passive income or something

[south lion]

good LUCK fighting lvl 10 gunboats in a ketch

[uncut briar]

boat stuff only reason I play windrose

[olive canyon]

Personally, I get why we can't just commandeer ships for ourselves, as that would completely negate a HUGE portion of the gameplay loop for building our own ships, BUT
I would love to see some system for once you hit Rank X with a Faction you can now choose to Sell a captured ship to them, or Sink as is the current default

[karmic isle]

imy boat is lvl 8, i just skip it and run away, im aty the swamp

[tacit pine]

too powerful imo, inteasd they should give you materials

[south lion]

it would be cool if they made the boat progression like a real pirate, instead of farming resources for hours and hours to get a new boat you should just go plunder one. like how the boss fights are on land, you have boss fights in the ocean to take their boat.

[split blaze]

or adding it to like a small fleet/ ai escort so you have allies sailing

[regal wagon]

Idk, I find it funny that a dozen dudes are building an entire frigate with a full compliment of cannon out of mats they gathered from random islands.

[upper bison]

To add to what i just said:
What they did to black flag, but better. You'd see sailors at your ports and the ships out at sea.

But yes, selling ships or sinking them for materials could be a thing too.

I could also see a feature where small ships would surrender even before starting to fight. Who in their right mind would put their lonely small gunboat up against a 30 cannon frigate?

[olive canyon]

Re: Boss Ship Fights - I'd personally love it if rather than getting their ship, we get like a Legendary Hull/Cannon/Naval Tactic as a reward

would be a great way to handle it imo

[south lion]

yea or like some legendary cosmetics. i have been begging for a plague wood boat skin

[olive canyon]

Blackbeard's men have lost all sense of reason and rationality, to be sure 😔

[upper bison]

guys i need a name for this

[upper bison]

true that
If we got nation factions, say the brittish or spanish, maybe that could become a thing

[south lion]

rectal examiner IV

[agile mirage]

Pea shooter

[upper bison]

not bad

[olive canyon]

🤫

[south lion]

my frigate rn is azz pounder IV

[split blaze]

i am new to the dsicord but did they say anything about adding a ally coup revive or bleedout timer? or a respawn on ships starting with brig since you have a room there technicaly?

[upper bison]

oh

[tacit pine]

The Ol'Jim

[olive canyon]

its from Alpha footage, so no guarantee of anything - but they were in the plans at some point

[dire beacon]

started naming mine after what I was storing on them. For the "extra" ships in my fleet

Unseen Armoury 😛

[south lion]

i feel like the royal navy should take the place of blackbeard, i mean who else would be patrolling the water like that

[rancid sierra]

"The Salty Clam"
"Blonde"
Someone named theirs the "Chum Dumpster"...

[olive canyon]

https://windrose.support/ideas and vote for the ones you wish to see implemented - this is the best way to get Dev attention with suggestions/feedback

[upper bison]

these are mine lol
"Plasterboard con asbestos"
"shoe chafing"
"The blue cabinet"-attached a pic for the insperation to that name

[eager flint]

finally got it 👀 👀 👀 👀

[split blaze]

ooh oke thank you i have lots of ideas

[south lion]

shoe chafing 😭😭😭😭😭

could name it "blackbeards colonoscopy" for how much of a pain in the azz ur gonna be to him

[olive canyon]

I personally feel that it would make most sense for different "waters" to have different Factions controlling them - and truly controlling them - i.e. Under British Control would have (90% British Ships, 10% Blackbeard) and Blackbeard Controlled would be same as normal

[upper bison]

i think i got the perfect name

[olive canyon]

bro really rocking up to the Tavern in Tortuga and saying,

"I'm So and So, Captain of the..."

[upper bison]

LMAO

"captain of shoe chafing"

[south lion]

expanding on this, it would be cool to choose a faction, and the royal navy being the only one you cant choose because theyre the main enemy. that way you get some protection in friendly waters, while still warring with the british. could add some depth inthe game once multiplayer is more common and players are split into factions. lines it up really well for a introduction of pvp

[rancid sierra]

Wait. So you're Zall'Koris, captain of the Qwib-Qwib?

[ocean prism]

hey so im kind of at a standstill right now, i purchased the frigate, trying to build it, but i am still trying to work on the foothills, i am too low of a level still to do most of it and cant seem to get anything leveled up until i pass it, not sure if im missing something or if someone can hook me up with the 3rd area materials needed for the ship but any advice helps

[tacit pine]

off to mine ancient scrap for millionth time

[south lion]

build a brig to beat all the second area bosses/ships should levelyou up enough to make the hands fight easy

[subtle blade]

First character I had absolutely no problem getting to level 15 before Priestess...

But with my second character I am actually struggling to get to Lvl 15, I don't understand that.

[south lion]

different worlds? my first world i made felt 10x easier cuz the main POI island were all so close together. i flew through the coastal jungle area in like 2-3 hours

[olive canyon]

gonna upset all the folks that insist we're Privateers 😭
also PvP just aint ever happening on scale - introducing it now would honestly create hella problems, not just in game but also for Kraken since many jurisdictions in which the game has been sold would see such a dramatic addition as too altering to the product their citizens already bought
the only way PvP ever shows up would be as an Opt-In setting for private servers, and even then would likely only be fighting without any consequence or risk of inventory loss

[rustic sage]

aight, thanks for info :D

[subtle blade]

Yeah, different worlds. Perhaps I overlooked more POI than I realized.

[south lion]

yea i dont think the game should ever have pvp on by default, ive always thought IF pvp were to ever be added it would only be an optional selection on private/dedicated servers

[olive canyon]

you wont be able to craft the materials for the Frigate until you defeat the Region Boss (||Hands||) anyway - best to just take your time and hit the POIs, clear sidequests, and get the XP you need 👍

[upper bison]

hold on u gotta explain this

[south lion]

yea man sometimes theres like 3 or 4 small poi that are just 1 or 2 chest and they give you 50 exp each. sometimes thats all youre missing to get to the next level

[snow pier]

i swear i am not smart enough for roofs

[dire cargo]

u other is as crasy as i am 😄

[queen reef]

I just love the blunderbuss. The knock back is so comical. I can one shot witches and those plagued people.

[karmic isle]

parry is so broken once u get used to it

[subtle blade]

IF you could do it in real life it would be OP too.

[snow pier]

parry is easier in the swamp to me, the enemies are much easier to read. It could be that ive just become better at the game's combat as time has gone on but crocs are easy

[upper bison]

Ooooooohhhhh i missed that
that's cool tho

[subtle blade]

Crocs are definitely easy. They have simple attack patterns and clear tells.

[olive canyon]

Plague Crocs tho 💀

[snow pier]

the toughest enemy to parry to me is the alpha wolf since his red sparkle is so late in the animation. I usually just dodge wolves

[south lion]

we still using swords against wolves? one tap them with a reliable musket

[snow pier]

and the drowned, slower enemies actually seem to be tougher to parry for me

[brittle geyser]

parry? never heard of it laughs in halberd

[rancid sierra]

The two star level ten alpha wolf was harder for me than Mr. Hands. >.> Stupid bleed effect...
And it wouldn't even give you the courtesy of enough time to bandage. :p

[dire cargo]

Try move from a non organized house to a very organized house with 76x2or3 boxes, it takes forever man 🙁

[snow pier]

halberds would be my favorite but they seem to not stun the enemy enough to get more than one or two attacks off at a time

[south lion]

ill admit i built above him when i fought him and just shot down on him, was not finna die 5 times fighting this guy

[snow pier]

guns are great but mining copper and iron for ammo is no fun lol

[upper bison]

structurally sound

[rancid sierra]

You can transfer items to ships you aren't even using in the wharf.
I can move about 12-15 boxes a trip between all my ships.

[brittle geyser]

that's why you get the plague halberd and just try to get to 5 hits. then you get all the enemies nearby and slam

[snow pier]

I actually dislike the plague and swamp weapons. I've been using the razor since I got it and have no intention of switching

[dire cargo]

yeah yeah i know, but it was only 2-300 meters down the beach....

[brittle geyser]

might as well use plague pistol then

[rancid sierra]

Swap to Soul Eater. "Press F to nuke." Swap back.

[snow pier]

pistols suck for an agility build, not worth the inventory space to carry extra ammo

[upper bison]

port is starting to get a lil cramped

[tardy crescent]

My luck couldn’t get any worse I beat the 2nd boss and didn’t realise I had to save the captive and restarted it

[brittle geyser]

yep. get the warrior ring, heal yourself (while killing lower level enemies), and then switch to plague halberd

[rancid sierra]

Some people have the Port of Saint Cuthbert, some people have the Port of the Virgin Mary. All I have is Port a Potty. >.>

[brittle geyser]

did you make the basic frigate or is that a brig?

[south lion]

my town is called port o'john lmao

[upper bison]

from left to right
Blackbeard brig, blackbeard frigate, bretheren frigate

[snow crow]

nice name

[south lion]

thanks bro you too

[brittle geyser]

oh ok. i wouldnt know of a reason to make the standard frigate. i have the other 2 though

[thick wyvern]

Is it port a bull?

[upper bison]

never really liked how the blackbeard ships looked

[rancid sierra]

To complete the set, of course.

[brittle geyser]

woah

[deep rampart]

Port Tawny Gold

[brittle geyser]

i have it because it's the fastest and only one with 36 pounders. thats the only BB variant i have though

[south lion]

lets hope its fate isnt the same as the real costa

[thick wyvern]

Standard frigate is like a mix of standard ketch and brethren brig- decent speed cargo and hp

[deep rampart]

At least one isn’t the Edmund Fitzgerald

[rancid sierra]

It, the Flor de la Mar, and the Invincible 8 are all low health blackbeard ships for a reason.

[brittle geyser]

yeah but when i go mining, i just take the brethren frigate. 52 slots

[dire cargo]

The last should Humungus Chungus 🙂

[thick wyvern]

True as you can teleport

[subtle blade]

You're a former Atlas player aren't you?

[regal wagon]

No single island of mining has ever required more than my inv+bb frig

[snow pier]

Missed opportunity to call the second from the bottom Brig Chungus.

[rancid sierra]

Oddly no, but I did play pokemans as a kid.
And Palworld.

[brittle geyser]

i hope they add fleet sailing to the game. i'd be fine with the grind

[fresh ferry]

any one help me out with a plague halberd recipe?

[upper bison]

exactly

[regal wagon]

It's in the swamps.

[fresh ferry]

yeah i been looking still no luck

[upper bison]

i think this just looks so much nicer

[brittle geyser]

search every chest. i think the very last chest i found gave me arboris saber

[regal wagon]

To be fair, the plague pistol was in the last chest I opened in the game.

[fresh ferry]

thats what i just got last night

[deep rampart]

Agreed

[brittle geyser]

i use ghost sails (the one with holes)

[subtle blade]

Plague Pistol is so good when paired with the Cutlass

[south lion]

i know its not windrose related but did yall see ubisoft is burying 500k USD in the carribbean to celebrate AS:BF remake?

[deep rampart]

I tried to make mine as white as possible it’s named “Angel’s Wrath”

[subtle blade]

That's gotta be fake

[upper bison]

yuh i know which ones, i enjoy the cleaner look tho

[south lion]

finna go treasure hunting fr fr

its real btw its posted on ubisoft officaila website

[deep rampart]

The treasure was the friends we made along the way. And the gold

[thick wyvern]

Is that like an offshore account?

[regal wagon]

I mean, it's a better use of the money than ubi making games with it.

[subtle blade]

The only people who could afford to look for it already have plenty of damn money.

[ivory cliff]

facts

[south lion]

a shovel cant be THAT expensive

[regal wagon]

Well obviously. Can't have the peasants getting money.

[tardy crescent]

I’m guessing I’ll have to beat the boss again just to get the captive haha

[regal wagon]

Shovel, no. Making your way out to the caribbean and jumping from island to island however.

[south lion]

yea for the average person def not possible. but i live in south florida, and have a boat sooooooo.... ill be huntin matey

[regal wagon]

Better be a big boat with a load of fuel storage.

[south lion]

everyone in this chat gets a band if i find it

[rancid sierra]

"19 people dead around an empty treasure chest."
"They got too into the pirate thing."

[regal wagon]

Normal human activities.

[thick wyvern]

The new S&B season updates looks pretty and game is on sale for $3 too bad no land combat and there's a weekly timer to wait out to add upgrades

[regal wagon]

S&b was and still is such a miserable disappointment.

[south lion]

its big enough to island hop the carribbean. scout 350

[tacit pine]

i still think all varients should have access to all costumization options, i hate that some are exclusive to certain varients

[subtle blade]

Ooh... 😎

[upper bison]

yuh kinda dumb

[tacit pine]

like i love thew blackbeard varient, but i want the betheran color palates

[upper bison]

yup

[regal wagon]

You can at least use the sails.

[thick wyvern]

I know right, if it was mp I would disagree but sp you are the only one looking at it

[regal wagon]

I've been rocking a full black bb hull with the brethren sails.

[dull bear]

day #6 of asking for sea monsters

[oblique heart]

dont know what we need it for but we got a church now :3

[olive canyon]

-settlers whenever they reached a new island

[south lion]

needs a casino and a bar across the street

[olive canyon]

I tried building The Inn from Black Sails last night - boy is it tricky translating that real architecture to game 😅

[south lion]

i feel like we need some small detail blocks, like tiny pillars, tiny flat stones, and smaller blocks. would make the building so much more detailed and easier to fill in gaps and such

or even just the ability to freely rotate objects any direction

[rancid sierra]

I would like... anything other than a smoke filled bonfire as the center piece of the camp.
Later, optional things. Like an old aztec pillar, or a church bell. For the FPS, mostly, but also so there isn't a wall of smoke. :p

[oblique heart]

that building in front of the church is the bar XD

[proper prism]

good morning short kings and fat salad eating queens

[south lion]

good lad. where else would the nuns go on their lunch break?

[oblique heart]

to the secret shrine

[south lion]

for some reason it seems like a bell/large clock is wanted universally

[olive canyon]

the things I'd do for proper vertical third or quarter pieces 😭

[south lion]

the lack of flooring shapes is gonna be the death of me. WHY ARE THE TRIANGLES NOT 90 DEGREE TRIANGLES

[gray anvil]

When I started the game, the island I was placed on, had a handful of Sulfur nodes, obviously not mineable being new. I'm now just entering the swamp, decided I would go mine those sulfur nodes on the island I started on as that's also where my base is. All of the Sulfur nodes are no longer there and this would have been the first time I would have mined them on that island. Have I come across a bug or is this intended to happen based on my progression?

[olive canyon]

you're either just not finding them, or you are misremembering which of the "starting" islands they were on - those random Sulfur rocks wont have disappeared unless you destroyed em

[south lion]

disappearing sulfur bug? hell yea

[prime magnet]

Hit Q when you are in build mode

[rancid sierra]

They're copied from a UE5 building set. It's the same triangles used in rust/conan/ark/dune/hello kitty island adventure.
Some people have come up with very interesting designs using it though.
...but we don't have the roof pieces to match the floor for the most part.

[gray anvil]

I'm 100% sure of the island as it's the one I started on. I'm 100% sure of location as I marked them, when I initially found them.

[south lion]

interesting, why the hell would UE5 not have right triangles? are they slow orwhat

[olive canyon]

even so, having 90 degree triangles would be a godsend 😭

[bold dirge]

That only 1 floor design has a quarter circle, and only in 2x2 rather than 1x1 also annoys the hell out of me. Same for most skins having only the shallow version of stair and not the steep ones. Or the 13 degree roofs having so much less variety than the 26 degree ones. The missing permutations hurt my soil

[bold dirge]

They do for walls. With 4 different variations on the other angles. Floors however are magical and cannot form right angles.

[south lion]

facts, they really just need to have every block have every version of the same "degree" or shape. like why are there no 45 degree tile roofs?

[olive canyon]

better question - why are there no FLAT roof tiles ??? 😭

[south lion]

WHY ARE THERE NO FLAT ROOFS AT ALL???????

[bold dirge]

I'm hoping modders will add them in. It feels like an "easy" thing to do: just combine existing textures with existing shapes in new combinations

[olive canyon]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1101955968247533568/1408164825669828648/pBEvBMfA.gif

[lament finch]

this games character creation has no freakin business looking this damn good...

[bold dirge]

Can't you use the floors for that? How would it be different? I've never seen completely flat tiled roof in my life

[south lion]

homie that is NOT windrose

[gray anvil]

My base has a flat roof, I used floor pieces as a substitue like so many other games do.

[lament finch]

lol, indeed its not homie. im testing out inzoi. someone told me it puts PCs to their knees so i wanted to see if it could challenge mine ^_^

[south lion]

the floors dont look as good they dont blend into the walls as nicely, flat roofs would be nice for small overhangs or balconies/cornices

[brittle geyser]

testing testing. ok i think the subnautica discord broke

[lavish vector]

https://tenor.com/view/aye-aye-aye-captain-pirates-of-the-caribbean-johnny-depp-gif-4531400

[lament finch]

imagine if windrose DID have this level of character creation eh?

[uncut patrol]

I almost soiled myself after spending a lot of hours on building my base and discovering that somehow the angle system of objects in my building planner has changed, and it became impossible to build anything new to align with my old building, because all the available angles are now different. Thank god restarting the game fixed it

[bold dirge]

I guess. Top of my wishlist would be walls and floors with a nice, smooth, cut sandstone masonry kind of texture. I'm tired of interiors being either rough stone, uneven plaster, or 172 variations of wood.

[olive canyon]

you could use floors, but they dont match ofc
as for completely flat roofs, they are a bad idea due to rain not running off properly - so irl "flat" roofs are really slanted like 1-5 degrees - but for the sake of a video game we can just call them "flat"

[south lion]

either this or they need to make the walls two sided. i should be able to place a plaster wall, walk inside my house, and snap on a wood wall right over top the plaster one and only have the wood show inside.

[lusty spire]

hi

[olive canyon]

I truly hope that Ashlands comes with a way to paint our plaster walls like those we see in Tortuga

[lusty spire]

is this game like enshrouded but pirates

[south lion]

painting would be nice too, but even better than painting we should be able to retexture interior walls to make them different from exterior

[bold dirge]

Haven't played enshrouded myself, but people very often compare it to that and Valheim.

[olive canyon]

I'd be down for a "texture" system that is applicable to specific "flat" walls like Plaster 🤝

[fair wave]

Yes and no. Same genre but building is very different

[south lion]

yessss like a "custom" wall piece that lets you choose front and back texture, and colors

[bold dirge]

Honestly, could just separate shape and texture/skin completely. Would drastically reduce the number of parts while allowing for more flexibility.

[olive canyon]

it would - though it would kinda throw the whole blueprint and resource aspect into disarray 😅

[bold dirge]

Not particularly. You pick both before building: texture determines the resources, part shape the amount.

[lusty spire]

how so

[rancid sierra]

A proper drop ceiling, so we don't have to look up and see the floor joists anymore.
(Each tile is one entire copper bar, because spite.)

[lusty spire]

i mean like gameplay not building

[tough saffron]

hellu
does anyone have cool game recommendations?
idk what to play
i am looking for ... i dont know tbh

[bold dirge]

Well in that case, it sounds like hello kitty island adventure is perfect for you

[regal wagon]

Go play league.

[brittle geyser]

i think if people want to build with copper, 1 copper bar should make 4 copper plates. 1 plate for 1 small floor. 2 plates for a big floor. that might be more balanced

[tough saffron]

i- uh- no thank you hahaha

[olive canyon]

Windrose 👍

[tough saffron]

hecc no (sorry not sorry @ all league players)

[knotty hemlock]

Is there any plan to have toon names added to stuff when you die? When with a couple people then multiple people die, nobody knows which pile of stuff is theirs.

[lusty spire]

how does this games gameplay compare to enshrouded

[regal wagon]

Don't apologize to league players.

[olive canyon]

its been suggested at https://windrose.support/ideas

[tough saffron]

i am already done with it, got 80-90hrs and story is done n stuff. I quit halfway through building a base because "i dont see the point", ya know
i'd love to keep playing but im finisheddd

[rancid sierra]

"Your honor, League of Legends..."
"DEATH."

[regal wagon]

Subnautica 2 just released into early access. Like an hour ago

[olive canyon]

if you're finished you're finished - but personally I've been taking some time to "prep" for Ashlands by stocking up on Insignias, Ingots, etc.

Timber alone eats up a bunch of resources, and theres no way that the new ship wont require it

[tough saffron]

i gotta be honest, i am not a fan of Subnautica. Yes i never played it, but i dont see the appeal for me. Thanks for the recommendation tho :D
And i dont want to play another Survival game again, like ARK or Palworld or uk

[night spindle]

Crimson Desert

[tough saffron]

thats a good idea, but i'd rather let it come to that than do it beforehand because it "feels like a waste of time". just for me tho! i dont like playing games once i finish the Main Story, idk why

[tough saffron]

thats actually a good idea, im gonna think about that one. Thank ya!

[wind zinc]

Question i basically finished the story modes & side quest. yet for the life of me can't find the Pikemen's glove..... any one????

[whole juniper]

now just what are they doin' up there

[regal wagon]

Go open every chest on the map.

[night spindle]

yeah I'm still missing one of the pike armor too.. I think maybe it was also gloves

[lament finch]

ah... your camp people do this too huh? lol

[broken pewter]

my buddy plays this game i think it’s on roblox (idk ive never played) called arcane odyssey and he keeps hyping it up saying its a lot like windrose

[lament finch]

i currently just made an extra 'prebuilt' leave house and loaded it with beds for them and called it the day. lol

[regal wagon]

Box them in a 2x2 room and call it a day. Keeps Doc from ruining more pineapple juice

[tough saffron]

honestly, i think you probably just missed it

[whole juniper]

wish i could assign them to a house the same way we can assign the other station npcs

[broken pewter]

also if you like windrose play enshrouded or valheim

[night spindle]

enshrouded is getting a full release soon right?

fall 2026

[tough saffron]

i want a pause with survival games xD i need another genre. Dont know which one. Either with a good story, or good gameplay, or something where ... you level up, get gear and stuff

[karmic isle]

never pause

[broken pewter]

if you like the walking dead check out state of decay 2

if you like co-op friendslop try repo

if you like story games and hate corporations cyberpunk

if you like cars play forza horizon 4 (it’s better than 5 and 6)

if you like space and exploring play no man’s sky

if you like trucks and mud play mudrunner

if you like working on cars play car mechanic sim

if you hate yourself play rust

if you want to play rust but with zombies and you want to keep your sanity play 7 days to die

[whole juniper]

friendslop

[pale vault]

As a person with mild Thalassophobia. Subnautica was great, they missed me with below zero though, I just couldn't get into it, I think the land sections immediately kinda killed me.

[broken pewter]

friendslop is goated

[south lion]

horizon 6 not even out yet blud 😭🙏

[broken pewter]

it’s gonna be terrible tho

[grave scaffold]

any real point in redoing bosses?

[south lion]

thanks for letting us know before we buy it, good to know we have the all knowing gamer here

[broken pewter]

below zero is subnautica lite

[young wolf]

wow , I already forgot this trash game , even the name

[broken pewter]

i’ve read into it because i love the forza franchise but 6 is just the same as 5 but with a different map and it’s gonna cost 70 bucks

[south lion]

free with gamepass; all forza games are the same with different maps

[broken pewter]

i think 4 is the sweet spot

[south lion]

no denying horizon 4 was peak but not much difference between all the others(map and audio carried)

[tough saffron]

i have Repo CP77, both great games. NoMansSky is dope, i just cant seem to play it for long (tho the new updates are awesome)
I will check out the other games, thanks :D

[lament finch]

cant comment yet. still busy in character creation. lol.

[tough saffron]

fugg games from big corpos. Veeery rarely they are good. idk why people buy the same slop year after year

Good evening, how are you? Is there anyone who can help me build a house?

[regal wagon]

Well, thats new. Asking for labor. Normally people are begging for resources.

[raw basin]

I have many resources

[regal wagon]

I do, until I don't.

[broken pewter]

[buoyant plume]

I have too many from clearing the starter island

what do you guys think is the better musket? infantry musket or buccaneer's friend

[raw basin]

I don't know how to begin designing a large house.

Do you have a server? Enter and see what the houses look like.

[glossy pilot]

inf musket for agi

[broken bane]

didnt know that rainbows can appear ^^

[deep rampart]

There are floor plans online. Take one and try to follow it. It’s a great way to start building houses

[broken bane]

use references maybe. play with the build system and find your style

Thank you, I will start on that.

[tropic walrus]

anyone using Nitrado as a host, how does one ban a user from the server?

The bottom corner of your map will tally explored POI. So double check it.

you probably have a quest you haven't found yet. I was lvl 8 before I killed Richards

i checked in my menu every quest all i have its for lvl 9 and 14

[old depot]

If you haven't found the quest yet it won't be in your menu

[teal helm]

ahh thanks

[still dome]

Do these restock in chests, or do we have a very limited amount throughout a whole character

[main silo]

I completed the game once. Made a new guy and a new map. I am at the mission "board the unsinkable," but the pirates won't stop spawning. Is it glitched?

[olive canyon]

they respawn in containers at a specific POI in the Swamps

[old depot]

there's some late game chests they respawn

[lethal granite]

There's a coastal island we didn't find for a while which has several POIs and a quest

[olive canyon]

you have to board the ship via Boarding action, not just hop aboard - otherwise the waves of enemies will be nearly endless

[old depot]

if worse comes to worse, check windrose.tools and follow the instructions to get your custom world map. It will show you where the quest POIs are

[jovial spire]

Hey dad, i'm son

[grave scaffold]

RUGS DO EXIST

[lost panther]

How do you guys figure out how to build towns, like what buildings you need where to put them etc?

[bold dirge]

Hi dad, I'm guys

[old depot]

I'm happy to report that Axel is off the bed.

[agile kite]

Hey 🚬😎

[bold dirge]

Whatever you want :). Everything above crafting tables and a bed is purely for your aesthetic enjoyment.

[uncut gyro]

I base it mostly on vibes and using real world examples of old timey towns built around the relevant time period.

Then I make sure the pathing is usable and not a hassle for when I want to get around all the time

[olive canyon]

I generally just mirror real life - start at the dock and work backwards, throwing up housing or storage or workspace as would be needed by the residents

[bold dirge]

Just imagine you're a kid who's been given a big box of lego bricks without an instruction manual

[queen spruce]

I used to throw batteries on my lego creations to have them fight with plastic spoon catapults

[old depot]

When I expanded my main house, I turned the original roof into the attic floor, and I'm quite proud of the space and now I know where to store all my spare items that I am getting too much of

[knotty harness]

Translation: "My 30 boxes of insignias that will sit until November"

[bold dirge]

I remember building my own catapults using the spring loaded motors. Or maybe that was mechano? K'nex? One of those types of things

[winter horizon]

whats in november?

[old depot]

those are in my bedroom 😳

[knotty harness]

The next content update with the fourth biome and good odds of either more faction ranks or a new faction

[bold dirge]

A mezzanine! A good look for when you need an extra half a floor

[winter horizon]

wish it wasnt this late literally the month of gta 6

[knotty harness]

GTA who?

[fallow marsh]

I'm sure its already been said, but the quest, Catastrophe's Aftermath - tagged level 7 quest, is jank. I should be able to kill a few of them, die, and return to find the same number as before... especially for solo player. I sure hope the devs take a look at this.

They keep respawning and healing... they dont heal anywhere else

I dont want to cheese it, so its frustrating.

[granite crescent]

Low key, since U got help getting the materials for my Frig, I might help players get their ship too or maybe shared quests?

[simple flint]

I didn't even know there was an issue for saves until after they tried to fix it- and even then, I never had an issue before or after. Not sure if it was a game issue- or if maybe some computers just don't do as well as others (like with most games) just sayin >.>

[woeful stone]

[river crater]

2Mil copies sold well done.. i hope more will follow

[smoky bronze]

a parrot is acceptable

[bold obsidian]

A ship's cat is good luck.

[chrome timber]

More than enough to hire at least four more people to help out with development.

[simple flint]

Only issue I have is when a quest says "level 7" but is in level 10-15 waters and surrounded by level 12 ships >.> and on an island with level 9-12 enemies....

[hard glade]

someone to play ?

[regal wagon]

Get friend with level 15 frigate to act as escort

[hard glade]

first time

[wintry peak]

I can escort you there if you'd like

[bold obsidian]

Given the state of things, an undead parrot seems like a possibility. An ex-parrot, if you will.

[simple flint]

I say "issue" because I intially went there as level 9 thinking I was fine- saw that went "nope" turned around, tier up my boat pieces, leveled those parts, did a few exploration points- came back with tons of ammo and took em out 😂 I just think it should be a bit more accurate on what level you should be is all LOL

[novel wagon]

I just use Blackbeard kitch and out run them every time

[regal wagon]

Oh the "quest" itself is only a level 7. Just some engineer stopped there and forgot that the location for said quest is in an 11-15 zone.

[haughty drift]

I think they should focus on pipeline development, and SOPs before hiring new people. That way once they do hire on new folks, things are streamlined for good turn around times, and the people become a production multiplier, instead of a smaller adder.

Maybe temp hiring some folks for advert trailers and things to build hype should be done to help sustain the momentum they have now.

[vital thorn]

2 million copies sold? Hell yeah ❤️

Uhh huh

[smoky bronze]

the current early access "endgame" really left me hanging... it ends so abruptly and with no reward/unlock, couldn't we get at least a decoration or anything? Also anyone noticed you cant buy marshes materials from the merchants? i was expecting once i defeat THE boss, i would get access to the materials from marshes like it happens with defeating previous bosses and their respective biomes? Is that intentional or a bug?

[dawn sierra]

I said that i never had to restart bc of one bug that could destroy a savegame.
i never mentioned i would restart over and over again what in my case is not a problem bc in Diablo seasons you restart over and over again for new content, so i dont have a problem with that.

[jagged furnace]

Now I'm worried what the "right" server is

[regal wagon]

That's why now whenever I've got a buddy running through the game I join in to play escort.

[bold obsidian]

...the hell is the right server?

You dont wanna now xD

[haughty drift]

There needs to be more tbh. And Crew customization would be nice as well.

But- just glad it exists to begin with. They could have not had it at all.

[peak crown]

Ah, goats. The act 2 boars.

[olive ermine]

[mortal mango]

They still got this far, and thats farther than most

[vague field]

You would have to buy a new blueprint
Silence the shanty 🔇

[chrome timber]

Pipelines matter, sure but they don’t fix burnout. The team is tiny, the workload is huge, and they just made enough money to expand. Hiring a few more people isn’t a luxury at this point, it’s necessary. Four extra hands would make a massive difference.

[peak crown]

The rocket emoji is appropriate

[mortal mango]

What's next, well, thats up to them. Not all devs listen to the community (CMs or otherwise) and the odd hit despite this DOES make landfall too

[peak crown]

Goats: The Windrose Space Program

[mortal mango]

thats why I said "in over their heads". Warhorse had to expand after their first game turned heads

[surreal sierra]

Thankfully the dev team here have made listening to their community a priority. A BUNCH of requested features from the Demo have been implimented with many more well on the way

[regal wagon]

Goat control, aka "Reliable musket and ammo"

[mortal mango]

Kudos JeeZee, but it seems a few are worried whether they can keep up the tempo

[chrome timber]

Oh I know. They used the words: Let us cook

If that’s not saying they’re stress then I don’t know what is. They’re panicking at this point.

[olive ermine]

the second I saw they understood coop is screwed cus no coop single ship gameplay and they FIXED IT was indicative what I am getting and i Love them for it

[regal wagon]

"This game blew up, therefore the devs HAVE to hire more people because some random people on the internet are butthurt that updates don't come fast enough." 10/10 narcissistic logic.

[vernal basin]

https://tenor.com/view/stop-sheep-attack-gif-13757353

[haughty drift]

Pipeline development is what helps reduce burnout frequency. The community also needs to chill on asking for more features for the time being, and let them iron out, and flesh out the game they have first. The expectation is colassal, and scope creep can easily kill the game before anything else. Focusing on refining those pipelines, minimizes the impact of all these things.

[strong token]

That is a lot of tall assumptions with seemingly very little basis lol

[mortal mango]

there IS some truth to it. Personnel have been known to be brought in to maintain tempo

[mighty cradle]

anyone got some extra iron?

[regal wagon]

That's only if the tempo isn't kept up. The game is barely over a month into early access. There isn't even a tempo to be off of yet.

[fresh haven]

I mean... hiring more people when you're doing well to continue delivering quality product is just good business, no??

[olive ermine]

to an extent i agree with @chrome timber , but at this point it depends how much devs want to sink into samey-tasks. I dont think expanding is mandatory, but certainly would offload a bit off stress, for starters. But again their team their rules rite

[surreal sierra]

I eated it 👉 👈

[chrome timber]

It’s not about being upset over update speed. It’s about the reality that a 16‑person team handling a 2‑million‑player game is under enormous pressure. Hiring a few specialists isn’t entitlement, it’s how you prevent burnout and keep development sustainable. It’s a practical observation, not narcissism.

[strong token]

if you could please consult the chart

[haughty drift]

Tbf- its been in development much much longer than that.

[solid garnet]

man i really hope so, ive been trying to convince my friends to give it a try, they refuse to due to the price point at early access and lack of some qol features. devs who listen to the community end up being the ones with the most success, so i hope i can change their minds in the future lol

[regal wagon]

[regal wagon]

Thank god it's not a publicly traded company.

[bold obsidian]

That is not what they meant by "iron rations"...

[olive ermine]

no publisher/investor is the only way for indies to save themselves of corpo greed 🙁

[surreal sierra]

https://windrose.support/ideas on the games support page, people can submit ideas and suggestions, Devs go through these and youll see a lot are labelled as planned which gives an idea of how the Devs team is handling input at the moment. I imagine itll expand in the future once the next major update is out

[brittle lava]

Standard difficulty?

[haughty drift]

Investors are considered stakeholders, and often in return for their investment, they get partial ownership.

[strong token]

Sure, my idea is to let them cook 🤷‍♂️ give them time

[feral karma]

Yeah 😂 pretty sure thats what I picked anyway

[mortal mango]

Exactly

[chrome timber]

So are you willing to wait six months for each major update? That’s literally half a year, six months makes it sound a lot less than it is.

[olive ermine]

and nearly ruin amazing projects like Cyberpunk2077. Investors should be purged from gaming

[solid garnet]

oh sick i had no clue this existed, ill definitely give some feedback

[safe charm]

Are people really complaining about an Early Access game that is STILL in development this soon into it's EA release?

[brittle lava]

Yea the standard difficulty can be really rough lol

[bold obsidian]

Yes. Quality takes time.

[regal wagon]

Yeah, because I have the apparently unheard of ability to go play other games until a major update drops.

[amber inlet]

if it stays away from tencent, microsoft, ect... yes i am

[feral karma]

Dude smites me in 2 hits lol

[surreal sierra]

Brother is complaining about 6 months for a yuge game update.

Consider the Elder Scrolls 6 teaser trailer from 7 YEARS AGO that a fully fledged and known game company has published

[haughty drift]

Thats a WILD statement. So many indie studios would just die if that was the case. This is like SKG all over again lol.

[solid garnet]

to be fair, almost every game in 2026 is early access lol. it just depends on how well the devs wanna listen

[regal wagon]

Investors are gamblers in suits. The only difference is they think they're better.

I think your mistake is buying into the early access 🤷‍♂️ if you're unwilling to wait you should have not bought into it and thereby investing yourself financially and emotionally into this, you should instead have kept it on your wishlist until it released into 1.0

rapier is mid, get 20 agility and try the greatsword/blunderbuss combo

[olive ermine]

yeah no. its sadly not wild. Publishers/Investors want products our faster, hurting the IP and brand name upfront. There are tons of fiascos where these specific groups RUINED even succesfull teams and projects.
Go see what happend to Annapurna Publishing/ Zaum/ Subnautica 2/ Cyperbunk2077. I am not making stuff up really

[vernal basin]

didnt our lord todd say "forget about it. pretend we never showed that off" or something along those lines?

[old depot]

of course it's Axel

[chrome timber]

Just to clarify, this isn’t about being impatient or unable to wait. I understand Early Access, and I play other games too.
My point is simply that a 16‑person team supporting 2 million players is under enormous pressure. A six‑month gap between major updates isn’t a moral failing it’s a sign the team is stretched thin.

With the success they’ve had, hiring a few specialists would reduce burnout, improve stability, and make development more sustainable long‑term. It’s not entitlement. It’s just acknowledging the reality of the workload.

[jovial nest]

More people RARELY result in faster progress. Bigger team causes friction and tons of administrative work that can easily hinder and not make things faster.

My friends's producer at House Marquee and what little he can share about his work is: larger team, more problems.

[ancient palm]

Just joined this discord and just wanted to say how absolutely awesome this game is. Only played for 15 hours but I am mind blown how much fun there is. Really hope it keeps growing as a game as the potential is insane. More ships, weapons, buildings, etc etc. Very well done devs!

[regal wagon]

Might as well add in every studio that EA/Microsoft/Sony buy, throw to the wolves, then close when the mid range slop they were forced to make doesn't sell.

[bold dirge]

The man hour fallacy is real!

[olive ermine]

Exactly!

Fair enough. Your Mileage May Vary.

It's not a live-service game, though. The number of people buying it and playing it has no direct impact on the number of people needed to work on it.

[olive ermine]

[ancient palm]

I do have the Ketch yeah!

[regal wagon]

It's the nest.

[haughty drift]

There is always a trade-off. While you may not like those particular situations, there are countless others which have succeeded because of it.

It IS a wild statement, most likely from good will and intentions, but lacking knowledge.

[chrome timber]

I’m not asking for live‑service content or demanding constant updates. I’m pointing out that a 16‑person team supporting a 2‑million‑player Early Access game is under huge pressure.

Early Access does scale with player count more players means more bug reports, more optimization issues, more support needs, more expectations, and more systems being stress‑tested.

A six‑month gap between major updates isn’t a moral failing; it’s a sign the team is stretched thin. With the success they’ve had, hiring a few specialists would reduce burnout and make development more sustainable long‑term. This isn’t impatience or entitlement. It’s just acknowledging the workload reality.

[west ermine]

hey, Who's f'ing bright idea was it to make this game? I'm on day 5 of owning it, and I'm already at 77 hours. These people who say they're my family are telling me that they miss me.

Agreed. Lets prop up the indie industry at every opportunity. Publishers and publicly traded companies lead to the death of any good product faster than anything else.

[reef bison]

"My point is simply that a 16-person team supporting 2 million players is under enormous pressure. A six-month gap between major updates isn't a moral failing it's a sign the team is stretched thin."

This is literally 100% your opinion. What is your stake in the game other than buying into early access along with however much playtime you have? Just curious.

[olive ermine]

wasnt there something similar with green light and blue or something? (both being ao or whatever)

[brittle lava]

I like that the drowned enemies kinda resemble those

[chrome timber]

My stake is the same as anyone who supports an Early Access game: wanting the devs to succeed long‑term. A tiny team handling 2 million players is going to feel the strain. That’s not a personal opinion that’s just how workload scales. Hiring a few more people would help them, not hurt them.

the problem is that you dont come across as caring about the dev team. you come across as entitled to more content sooner. We have the same stake in the game, and I couldnt care less when new content comes. Let the devs cook. If they need to hire people, they will. We will still own the game when it happens.

hmmm, roasted goat

[chrome timber]

I get that some people don’t mind waiting, and that’s fine. I’m just saying that with a team this small and a game this big, hiring a few more people would make development smoother and reduce stress on the devs. That’s all I meant.

[nocturne isle]

So what i gather from the way you talk about this you are a developer and you know how many people are needed for a game like this? Why don't you give your reference, maybe they will hire you! 😄

[spiral swallow]

Wonder how many games that guy have made

[covert copper]

2M COPIES AND WE GOTTA WAIT 6 MONTHS FOR MORE CONTENT

[bold dirge]

Oh yea? Well I wonder how many pyramids and/or ancient curses you've built!

[chrome timber]

Nope, not a dev just someone who can do basic math. Clearly you can’t. Sixteen people supporting two million players is a heavy load. You don’t need a résumé in game development to see that.

[digital bough]

Are we allowed to see the history/submissions in the "diy-contest-submissions" chat?

[compact quail]

no
you are wrong. just hiring more people won't just "help"

[spiral swallow]

no pyramids and I can't talk about all the curses because that would be a bad curse for you 😄

[nocturne isle]

Yeah, i can't do math....math bad.... why do you have to call me out like that

[covert copper]

is that real

[bold dirge]

I'm surprised by the amount of people who don't understand that this isn't a live service game. The devs made a thing (with a promise for more later, according to the EA plan). You bought it. There is no on going support beyond that and bug fixes. It's more like a movie that you bought a ticket to see at the cinema, than a TV show with weekly episodes.

[spiral swallow]

Last I heard they where around 50 devs and not 16.

[fathom basalt]

Be patient and wait

Geez is that so hard to ask?

[lament finch]

lol... and people were saying this inzoi game puts computers to their knees

[chrome timber]

Well for reference if you do basic division. It’s 2 million people divided by 16. That’s approximately 125,000 people per developer. No wonder they’re stressed.

[nocturne isle]

i think there is also a dev for every dev so if developing for the devs gets to stressful they have their backup devs

[compact quail]

this math is stupid

[bold dirge]

Anyway, rapid hiring problem wouldn't get the next update any faster. The time bringing new people up to speed would more than compensate the extra hands working. It might make the update after that faster, but it would probably slow things down this year more than speed it up.

[bold obsidian]

I heard you like deving, so I put devs inside your dev, so you dev while you dev

they should enable hardcore mode that would make it more interesting lol

[fathom basalt]

Or you can play it on hard and delete your world when you die once?

[edgy saddle]

Could cause more issues as well.

[fathom basalt]

I think hardcore mode is silly

Cause just have the self control to delete your own save lmao

[covert copper]

true

[bold dirge]

As anyone who's ever worked on a team or had to onboard someone knows. I wonder if those who haven't are all kids without that life experience?

[spiral swallow]

Thats true. Look on ATLAS how many dev changes it had and code mess it left.

[covert copper]

or just enable pvp for friends to battle it out would be so much fun

[delicate storm]

Hiring would also probably require restructuring the team(s), new leads, etc., disrupting what has already been working for them.

[nocturne isle]

@fathom basalt reaction works great for us XD

its just a matter of proper hiring/organisation. that is why when making a game a full plan is created and u got dedicated section of the team doing specific tasks - modelers do 3dmodels, artists do conecpts and textures, core devs do mechanics etc... Just a matter of organisation

[edgy saddle]

We are in the same process over at our game as well, It's a massive weight on the shoulder.

[bold dirge]

Curious how much of the workload is done inhouse rather than sent to contractors. Modern game development does a lot of the latter usually and, to some extent, you can throw money at that to speed it up a bit.

[delicate storm]

"Just" is doing a lot of heavy lifting - and likely obfuscation of complexity - in that statement.

[obsidian nexus]

suggestion link?

[subtle blade]

I have an entire model in my head for decentralized game dev based on smart contracts...

Hopefully someday lol

[obsidian nexus]

I wanna put in fo a buffer around islands that stops enemy ships from spawning too close

[haughty drift]

Btw- is there a mooring mechanic I'm just dumb to? Or do we just not have the ability to moor our ships to docks(yet)?

[olive ermine]

as someone that worked corpo his whole life - its just that, getting proper people at proper positions. Its because of counter-workculture in corpo u get massive mismanagement.
If you have a proper plan, everything can be organized really. WIthout that- nope

[spiral swallow]

[obsidian nexus]

its kinda annoying to have ships fight me everytime I leave my base and I like where i built XD

[bold dirge]

smart contracts? Sure, I guess you can make life needlessly complicated for everyone by bringing blockchains in needlessly, but I thought the hype tech bros had moved on from that by now

[bold obsidian]

It's been talked about here a good bit, but nothing yet.

[haughty drift]

"No plan survives first contact. Infrastructure is what leads to sustainability" - some SSgt 9 years ago

[chrome timber]

Built in Blackbeard controlled waters?

[obsidian nexus]

yea sadly but the island was too pretty not to

[uncut gyro]

the other day I had a blackbeard gunboat get all jammed up on my fishing pier. I ended up building around/over/under it until it nearly flipped and then it was trapped on the pier.

While funny, I'd also rather that never happen again 😄

[upbeat summit]

look how fast and how many people be quick to deny this proposoal, it could be in form of duals, or settings that could be changed back and forward, I think PVP would xbe cool too mate, optional so all the SIMS'ers do not leave the community ofcause, allowing space and progression for all 😊

[haughty drift]

(Is it the Cresent Moon-shaped one?)

[bold dirge]

I don't think anyone disagrees with that. It's just not easy to do lol. It's a bit like saying "Making a good game is straight forward, just code a game and do it really well so it's good"

[harsh shard]

would fix so many issues of people waiting for new content as well

[chrome timber]

Understandable, are they attacking your ship?

[obsidian nexus]

i didnt even know this existed yet, time to explore thank you

[bold obsidian]

Maybe an option to pay the Bretheren to patrol, turn it into Bretheren waters?

[haughty drift]

It was in the 6-10 lvl Blackbeard waters for me

[subtle blade]

They probably didn't. Doesn't mean there is no use case for them. I think that large studios and corporatized studios have much more bloat and complications than what I am envisioning ever could.

But the proof is in the pudding.

[simple pollen]

Buncha goats in here I guess

[covert copper]

yess totally makes sense

[obsidian nexus]

ooooo or like a faction system where you can take over the waters with enough combat?

[abstract aspen]

the message is edited. it said nothing past "just enable pvp" at first.

[haughty drift]

That sounds amazing.

[olive ermine]

nah its ok, i dont think people disagree - and for this discussion, i think everyone is right, There are infinite scenarios here. We can look at the bad sides of hiring , but that is not the whole picture.
That is why i think in their own right, posed scenarios are all equally true

[covert copper]

like let us be pirates and fight real players instead of bots

[abstract aspen]

thats not how pirates worked :)

[nocturne isle]

i mean isnt that what sea of thieves is

[bold dirge]

There was a whole trend of adding blockchains to stuff to remove bloat. Didn't work out. Removing bloat by adding complexity very rarely does.

[haughty drift]

I would point out they will need to probably hire someone as a Community Manager/Interlocutor, IF they hire anyone at all. They need to be someone who plays the game routinely, and is in touch with the community. I think that's probably the only justifiable hire at this stage at least.

[delicate furnace]

ah yes, the system that was used by other games before that doesn't seem to be alive now or is strugling so hard from trying to balance stuff

[olive ermine]

@bold dirge hiring left and right without structure can lead to many problems on one hand, and doing it slowly, with carefull steps might also be a win for everyone. There were two views in the disscussion here. WHy it was bad and why it was considered good. I find both sides have equal merit

[edgy saddle]

And it also, kinda want to add that, is more difficult when it comes to experiences/skills, payment, country, internal/external etc.

[simple pollen]

This mindset reminds me of people who leave a state for a different one and then complain that it’s different. Just let the game be what it was meant to be: PvE survival.

[olive ermine]

The seed of organisational tree. yes

[harsh shard]

trying to bring up how real pirates acted when theres zombies in the game lol

[bold obsidian]

If they handle EA the way Satisfactory did I'll be very happy.

[nocturne isle]

[abstract aspen]

they want to be a pirate. indicating that this is how it worked :)

[covert copper]

and if it stays like that the game will die off fast

[simple pollen]

looks at the 2mil copies sold post they just put up

K

[nocturne isle]

yeah its already dead...

[covert copper]

yup

[elfin sluice]

Dead game guys, game over.

The ship has sunk.

[abstract aspen]

its not a live service game. its a game with a story you play and move on afterwards.

[olive ermine]

like a rolled up treasure map, slowly it unveils itself

[haughty drift]

I mean.... DLC/Expansions sounds exciting to me.

[covert copper]

yes thats fine and dandy but when you beat it all and have nothing else to do but still like playing the game pvp adds more content

[spiral swallow]

https://tenor.com/view/haha-gumichan-bird-no-laughing-gif-5128531988218293677

[haughty drift]

Sure. And that could be added post-launch. Doesnt need to be now.

[delicate furnace]

nah. not really. cause all pvp is is doing the same content against other players

[obsidian nexus]

it is a good system and can be improved by having hostile takeovers stil happen so you have to maintian control of the waters you win

[covert copper]

75% has already ran thru the game time to add it

[undone niche]

I dont care about pvp. I just posted a def dev info about pvp in my meme😉

[abstract aspen]

depends on what they want to do with it :D dlc has been so normalized now its a suprise when it doesnt happen

[subtle blade]

Yes please.

[delicate furnace]

its just gonna be controlled by 1 faction. seen in every pvp games I've played that has more than 2 factions pitted against each other

[olive ermine]

id legit pay DLC to support them to stay INDIE 100%

[bold dirge]

That's impossible. Games are a life long commitment. I only play games if I can no-life them for months in a row and reshape my entire identity around them.

[obsidian nexus]

dont have the other factions fight each other

[haughty drift]

Sure! If they make a banger game, and then move on to make a sequal that is better from a technical perspective, that'd be awesome too. The Mod-support pre-v1.0 is already awesome.

[abstract aspen]

if it dont got a battle pass i aint playing it!!!

[delicate furnace]

huh? you want a pvp where factions gain control of an area and not want the factions to fight each other?

[haughty drift]

They need to add the ability to make Base Defense and get NPC's to man them before any of this is possible

[olive ermine]

FOMO CASH SHOP ON ROTATION! Different prince ranges for different type spenders! Pre-order bonus DLC misisons! yesssplzz

[nocturne isle]

i want to buy 5 battlepasses at once! and 2 battlepasses for each battlepass on top. Right now! 💰

[spiral swallow]

So when are the battlepass for Windrose coming?

[simple pollen]

God, no. Please lol

[strange plinth]

Wheres the weekly limited dungeon keys

[paper canopy]

Wouldn't mind a battle pass if it's cosmetics only. Would be a nice way to support the game development further

[bold dirge]

With the microtransaction update. $5 to skip the 1h cooldown on your ship respawning, or a loot crate with either potions or rocks in it for $3.

[olive ermine]

You should also have battlepass battles where you can BET which battlepass will get level most! The more u invest $$ in it the stronger the battlepass for batlle of battlepasses it gets!

[bold obsidian]

Battlepass Battleship?

[slate dome]

Is there anybody else having problems with connecting with friend server ? it`s loading and than the whole game crashes

[nocturne isle]

Whatsapp group when?

[obsidian nexus]

I never said anything about pvp.

[old depot]

it's been 0 days since someone said the game will die

[elfin sluice]

Oh, and don’t forget to add weapon skins that cost an arm and a leg.

[olive ermine]

thats why pirates have peglegs and hooks. They bought expensive skins

[bold dirge]

I mean the game will die. Eventually. I give it somewhere between 5 years and the heat death of the universe.

[haughty drift]

Is there any talk from the Devs of being able to have a use for your other ships while you arent actively using them? Like sending them on resource collection runs or something?

[old depot]

hopefully I will die first

[vernal basin]

give me a club that is the arms of a drowned.
together with the fish it needs a full-on SLAP sound to hits xD

[bold dirge]

By the reactions I'm guessing my sarcasm was a little too subtle lol?

[simple pollen]

I always thought live service and battle passes were just tone deaf, money hungry corpos injecting themselves into the gaming market to squeeze every profit margin they can. Then I come here and realize half of you want that lol

[olive canyon]

currently, no - but there's an idea over on https://windrose.support/ideas that touches on this, so that would be the place to show support for such a system

[bold obsidian]

Games are supposed to die eventually. Keeping them propped up far beyond their natural lifespan is just...unnatural.

[royal mantle]

Holy geez! 2mil copies sold!? And long has game been out for again????

[olive canyon]

I think its just people making sure that, even if it was said in jest, their disagreement is known

[bold dirge]

Yeah. Eventually they end up feeling stretched out, thin. Like butter spread out over too much bread 😉

[elfin sluice]

A month.

A month.

[simple pollen]

The game is dead because there’s no PvP actually

[olive ermine]

i blame Epic games and fortnite for poisoning childrens minds

The game is actually dead because we cant romance any NPCs ☝️

[bold dirge]

Someone needs to change it to hours

[nocturne isle]

the only immortal things in this room are we. if the game wont be supported 40 years from now im gonna request a refund rn !!!!11111!111 👀

[elfin sluice]

People are going to romance the doc immediately once he becomes an option.

I’m just saying this as a BG3 player.

[olive canyon]

*minutes 😭

[solid garnet]

can you not see your own suggestion on the support site?

[old depot]

Speak for yourself

[royal mantle]

Wow. Just WOW.

[olive canyon]

Romancing the Doc = he gives you full size potions now

[simple pollen]

If you can’t find doc to romance him, he will be standing menacingly in your hallway, blocking your entrance. Guaranteed.

[elfin sluice]

[old depot]

(yes, that was my lewd game picture)

[abstract aspen]

no matter what..hes just dead inside

[bold dirge]

But this is the problem with selling so many copies so fast. You end up infesting the community with the brain rot, bottom of the barrel gamers who need new content injected into there eyeballs constantly or they'll complain.

[simple pollen]

Satire btw

[olive canyon]

dopamine addiction is genuinely real and widespread unfortunately

[old depot]

There's a problematic power dynamic going on

[solid garnet]

idk if its that deep tbh, people are gonna be like that regardless of how many copies are sold. out of 100 people theres always at least 3 like that

[elfin sluice]

If only they can read the

”Early Access” part of the game.

[delicate furnace]

they don't

Havent seen anything truer said in this chat lol

[bold dirge]

I dunno, I've played plenty of games that appeal to a different demographic and never seen that reaction. No one's out there demanding that Esoteric Ebb drop new content with PvP. At most people are dreaming about DLC in a year or two.

[bold dirge]

You had me at

If only they can read

[olive ermine]

EA writting down how to sell "Concept code" of a game that isn't even in pre-alpha stage 😄

[chrome timber]

So to be clear everyone is okay without the devs not updating the game another week? Fixing bugs?

[old depot]

...updates? https://tenor.com/view/yallgot-gif-5686731740289528849

[spice bridge]

Hi new person!

[solid garnet]

there probably is at least one guy out there lmao, i know with kcd it was a big problem with both games. even kcd1, it was the same people who needed keys jingled in their face every 4 seconds, who were complaining. its kinda hard to escape with games that appeal to many at once

[royal mantle]

Ollo!

I think 99% of gamers underestimate how tedious and hard it is to develop games.

[halcyon gulch]

I havent seen it in the votes/polls put out.. but GIVE US "GRENADES"(fused bombs) the same as what the npc's have.

[bold dirge]

Reminds me of how Canon in the 70s and 80s used to sell the rights to films based on a title and cover art, and only once they'd done that start writing the script and then shooting the thing

[old depot]

here we go decade-name-dropping again

[delicate furnace]

they do make updates for bug fixes. Its the ashlands not being released this instant that some of these types of players get testy about

[compact quail]

what are you crying about?
what "terrible bugs" need to be fixed?

[bold dirge]

I mean, sure, there's always someone. And KCD is sort of similar to Windrose, in that it's a game where you run around with a weapon stabbing / shooting people. Games that aren't like that (say any Paradox game), have a very different audience. Still demanding and whiny, but in a different way.

[chrome timber]

Oh I understand completely. People are incapable of logic thinking. If we remove labels of things we’ll see evolution taking its course.

[old depot]

I remember when being old on a discord game server was unique

[nocturne isle]

yes. yes we are

[spice bridge]

ok umc

[solid garnet]

this is indeed true for the most part, my only issue with the paradox fanbase is the modders. other than that, id say paradox has a very tame fanbase like you said

[halcyon gulch]

Can I get some traction on wanting them to give us grenades the same as what the npcs have...

[vernal grotto]

is guinea only for cosmetic things?

PvP is life, pvp is love, pvp will save this game
