You realize 2 handed guns have a block right? I think they can parry? could be wrong, haven't used em, but I saw a block button in settings.

[rocky charm]

Actually.
Maybe I took less damage when I upgraded my clothes
Because of how level damage scaling works

[rigid rapids]

Why block when I can just dodge back and instantly aim

[vernal basin]

they do have an armor-value that goes up with it

[toxic urchin]

cause if u parry they get stunned

[rigid rapids]

Headshot takes at least 2 of their stagger count

[toxic urchin]

wow so is the musket not useless, i mustve had a bad build

[rigid rapids]

Nah if you actually consistently shoot the weak spots musket is disgusting

[tranquil dragon]

You can get this same effect with a pistol tbf. AND keep the ability to go melee

[vernal basin]

https://tenor.com/view/bayonet-warhammer40k-death-korps-of-krieg-equip-bayonet-i-make-ready-gif-26550076

[rigid rapids]

Yeah but you can't feel the satisfaction of popping that head from half the map away without even triggering the agro of the rest

[deep rampart]

And can snipe at crushers from a mile away. Takes 25 shots but still

[rigid rapids]

I usually like playing snipers or longbow characters so it's just my preference

I prefer systemic and calculated combat more than melee mayhem

Even when clearing the ruins I usually cleared them one by one from different sides

[deep rampart]

With a reliable musket I got 99 problems but a witch ain’t one

[rigid rapids]

Ok hear me out the witch is not an issue as long as you can actually see her head I swear the color of the enemies in the swamps is full on camouflage

[near zodiac]

All 99 problems when using a musket:

[near zodiac]

https://tenor.com/view/skill-issue-git-gud-scrub-scrubs-yugi-gif-27595466

[rigid rapids]

There was one time when I was hunting for giggidy powder and I was shooting some random plant instead of the enemy

[near zodiac]

That little delay makes it so infuriating that just last moment the enemy suddenly makes an unexpected movement, a bullet hits an invisible wall, leaves and crap cover your screen when you're about to wire and can't adjust aim

[rigid rapids]

My aim is pretty good but I swear I really can't differentiate the targets in the swamp

[near zodiac]

Doesn't really help that the enemies have kind of plant looking texture or what to call it

[rigid rapids]

Yeah in the end I got mad and took an axe to fix the problem with the trees

As long as it is above waist height it got shortened

[languid crane]

giggidy powder.. thanks, i spit my soup 😄 XD

[near zodiac]

Me after missing head 3 times because of random BS: FINE, I'll stab you instead!

[rigid rapids]

https://tenor.com/brfvU.gif

[rigid rapids]

I still take out the 2-hander when boarding cuz I can't stomach wasting so much ammo

[near zodiac]

I stopped boarding ships on that chara after 2 attempts. So many missed shots

[rigid rapids]

Boarding enemy brigs is the easiest but boarding frigates is just awful ( with a gun specifically)

[queen reef]

You know what's really awful... you know that dude I was supposed to rescue on the bottom deck of one of the ships... I sank that ship

[fiery vine]

dragon breath have AOE

[near zodiac]

I sank it 3 times in a row because I kept forgetting why I attacked the ship, LOOT

[blissful notch]

Imagine this game but instead it was power wash simulator with a mix of arc raiders! Goated GOTY!

[near zodiac]

As soon as I left the ship and grabbed steering wheel for loot: "Wait... didn't I come here for a quest?"

[rigid rapids]

Fun fact you can jump inside while it's sinking and finish the conversation before it goes under

[near zodiac]

Hmm, well if there is ever a next time will know what to do

Probably will when my friend finally joins. He's been busy and now that DRG:Rogue core is coming soon that will get further delayed

[tranquil dragon]

You underestimate my accuracy with ol’ reliable

[rigid rapids]

What?

[spice bridge]

Best character in whole show. Too bad it turned into... That thing it turned into.

[spice bridge]

after 4 gifs in a row you reply ahhaha, he turned... into nothing he prob got the best ending same with Aria and sansa

[mortal stream]

True, but I was talking about show in general. 😄

[tranquil dragon]

Where can I get help with my stats and talents? Trying to sort it all out now that I’m more comfortable with the game

I’m level 10 rn finna take on the second boss and such and I feel like there’s better ways I can allocate my points atm

[subtle blade]

Given the type of setting the GoT was, I really don't understand why Jon was so bothered that Dani was his aunt. I think there are more important concerns. Like balancing out her mental state by not withdrawing affection and emotional stability when she most needs it. 🤭

[near zodiac]

stat distribution is pretty simple right now. If you want to be able to do damage, put 20 to the main damage scaling stat, then rest to health/stamina/(and maybe mastery) depending on your own preference and weapon you use

[mortal stream]

As the people around here say: Why simple when we can complicate it?

[near zodiac]

if you want to be tankier, more into health... and less to everything else

[subtle blade]

I think Jon just forgot what universe he was living in because it was convenient for the writers.

[bold dirge]

Stamina and health before weapon stat IMO. At low level the weapon scaling is tiny compared to base damage, but health and stamina matter a lot when you have very little of them

[tranquil dragon]

I’m using the dueling saber and double barrel pistol. Pistol procs weakness, saber does crit shenanigans. When I started out I put 20 into health and then started leveling endurance with nothing else ANYWHERE but.

[subtle blade]

I agree, weapon stats are really only useful in mid to late game.

[tranquil dragon]

I’m level 10. Isn’t that mid-late?

[rigid rapids]

The impact of stats is very low on your damage so you can just invest in vitality. The main damage source comes from gear level so the higher the level of your gear the better it will perform.

[near zodiac]

neither stamina or health matters if you don't need them. For 1 handed weapons stamina is very meh, but not completely useless. For 2 handed stamina is useful, but wouldn't put it above damage scaling.

[bold dirge]

IMO endurance > health > weapon stat > mastery, generally

[tranquil dragon]

Well I’m fine with 20 hp. Haven’t had issues. I’ve been leveling endurance for stamina

[near zodiac]

endurance is quality of life at best if you're not using 2 handed str weapon

[bold dirge]

Stamina is good for dodging and blocking, and just running around in general. If you can play so perfectly that you perfect parry every hit, then no stat matters at all. But this is for mere mortals .

[tranquil dragon]

Also helps that I’m running a 2-2 combo for armor. Conquistador for resistances and filibuster for stamina

[subtle blade]

For my build I did 10 Health, 20 Mastery, 5 Endurance, and the rest in weapon stat. Then I supplement the endurance with a necklace, and the health and weapon stat with Epic food.

[near zodiac]

then don't dodge or block. parry, takes 0 stamina

[bold dirge]

Lol, did you reply before reading the end of the message? Lmao

[rigid rapids]

Well the soft cap on stats is 20 after which the already small bonuses get even smaller so you can work around that

[tranquil dragon]

Oh im running double crit. Mastery necklace crit ring

[subtle blade]

The system is very flexible after all.

[remote trench]

fortress build progress. it is starting to take shape

[near zodiac]

ignored it since it was nonsense. stats still matter such as more damage to make things faster.

[rigid rapids]

Love the mix of materials it looks amazing

[tranquil dragon]

I like crit builds

[jovial basin]

So, I moved my camp, but now Doc Galen isnt around anymore. Anyone know a fix for this?

[rigid rapids]

Interact with the bonfire and settle the bed stealer

[tranquil dragon]

Gotta re put him in the campfire

[fathom hull]

I just finished my hill fort and it looks amazing

[bold dirge]

Not being able to play with perfect reflexes and making no mistakes is nonsense. Right, time to touch grass and stop sweating so hard

[remote trench]

thanks

[jovial basin]

OMG TY!

[near zodiac]

or you could stop having skill issues. just having 2 food is enough to tank a few mistakes.

[fathom hull]

like good luck taking over my harbor lol with cannons spread across multiple heights and behind big solid mountain rocks

[tranquil dragon]

Crit builds solve the damage issue. Or statuses like the double barrel’s that’s another 15% damage boost

[jovial basin]

Thanks ^^

[fathom hull]

from faraway you wont even notice my fort cause it blends into the mountain it was build on

https://tenor.com/view/ai-breaking-bad-bcs-better-call-saul-hank-schrader-gif-15659174738707722037

[bold dirge]

The whole point of stats, equipment, and everything else in the game is to be able to play and win even with skill issues. We all have skill issues, that's the premise of the entire game. Otherwise you could beeline every boss and beat them with bare fists. Making life easier for yourself, is literally the whole point.

[tranquil dragon]

Now you have me wanting to beat every boss like this lmao

[subtle blade]

I tried Sub2 last night. Not really sure how I feel about it. 🤔

[rigid rapids]

Olleus has done a good barrage of hits how would his enemy respond

[candid saffron]

the loot continues to grow

[tranquil dragon]

Just butt naked only hands with no stats

[languid crane]

@radiant tusk hows the bridge building going? any success?

[tranquil dragon]

Can you tell me how? I’m constantly broke on coins. I be trying to get a frigate

[near zodiac]

The whole point of stats is to distribute them the way they benefit yourself the most. Just putting everything in health and stamina is more detrimental if you don't think for yourself or even make an attempt to improve

[rigid rapids]

You don't have a frigate

[candid saffron]

yar har and yar har and yar har again. just keep taking treasure ships and selling the loot

[tranquil dragon]

I’m only level 10 dude 💀 and the main problem is we have no money

[split charm]

the moment you get a frigate - you start farming Blackie's ships... and the money just rolls in

[bold dirge]

Good thing no one is advocating putting every single point on a level 15 character in those then. Prioritising doesn't mean exclusivity.

[olive canyon]

Unfortunately the answer is farming ships, so getting Piastres becomes infinitely easier once you get a Frigate and Lvl it up 😅

[bold dirge]

Raid ships, sell the stuff you get to factions. Repeat. You can make 1000s an hour quite easily

[rigid rapids]

Character level is not really important you can beat lvl 15 enemies at lvl 1 as long as your gear is lvl 15

[candid saffron]

since no one else seems to be giving Brig advice
yeah just keep farming treasure ships in costal and foothills, fill your hull, and then sell at all the merchants

[split charm]

Yea, a hold full of loot can get you 2-3k piastres from the merchants

[candid saffron]

yee, my current goal is a chest full of coins, once i finish this one ill try doing another of just gold

[tranquil dragon]

Thank you for the advice. Time to farm for the frigate

[rigid rapids]

Mind me asking what level is your personal gear and ship gear?

[olive canyon]

Outside of ship combat, personally I get a decent bit of coin just by clearing my "daily" POIs - Copper, Iron, Silver, Gold, Tumbaga locations all have a good few enemies to kill, and most drop goodies that the Smugglers or Buccaneers will buy

Certainly not as efficient as ship combat, but you also get the added benefit of stocking up on those ingots

[tranquil dragon]

All 10. My current level cap is 10. I have the Brig too

[languid crane]

well, you have time... 😄

[split charm]

Wait, does Tumbaga respawn?

[candid saffron]

theres ruins in the swamps that do

[tranquil dragon]

There’s silver, gold and Tumbaga locations? I’ve been getting lucky finding a lot of it in loot areas

[languid crane]

after 6 hour, yes

[candid saffron]

you get it <3

[rigid rapids]

Just go stomp hands and visit the swamps to upgrade your gear further then you can legit farm max lvl enemies for ridiculous amount of money

[split charm]

Back to the swamps, then...

[olive canyon]

there's one of each for those - Silver is a specific shipwreck, Gold is a Blackbeard fort in the Foothills, and Tumbaga is a specific ruin in the Swamps

[tranquil dragon]

Oh I haven’t beat the second boss yet

[candid saffron]

the "tainted ruins of an ancient temple", i believe

[split charm]

Thanks. 🙂

[tranquil dragon]

I haven’t seen any of these yet. Huh. I’m in the foothills too. I mean I’ve seen Blackbeard forts but none with tons of gold

[rigid rapids]

That's what I mean my advice is holding on the farm and progress the main quest to unlock the tar pieces for the frigate
Just plant and harvest flax for the cloth

[true ether]

My guy

[split charm]

I've got 1(one) tumbaga left, I even started a new character to farm tumbaga from quest locations

[candid saffron]

girl* but yes <3

[olive canyon]

I recommend throwing a FT Bell down as close to those POIs as you can when you do find them - will make regular farming of them easier

[true ether]

Guys Imma marry her then divorce her and take all her money

[near zodiac]

The funny thing is how some specific enemies health is scaled. I noticed that a level 2 enemy and level 7 enemis tend to have roughly same amount of health, when gear is taken into account (level 2 enemy vs. level 2 gear and lvl 7 gear vs lvl 7 enemy)... but what if you take a level 1-5 zone enemy and make it 12 instead, add in some stars too because screw all of you?

Surely most of you remember that shipwreck with level 12 undead lol. I went back with maxed out talents, all points in precision, reliable musket, crit potion and all... it still took 3 headshots to kill those douches

[rigid rapids]

That's the issue with modern ppl they just can't understand that it's better to marry and drain them for their whole life instead of just getting half

[true ether]

And then I'll buy all the salt I can

[candid saffron]

exaaaaactly

[true ether]

Oh you right

[grim bronze]

that's exactly what modern people do

[tranquil dragon]

I could send you a photo of my map if you’d like. From a companion app thing

[true ether]

I'm coming for all those coins

[split charm]

You mean farming, yea?

[near zodiac]

No, the real cash is in divorcing and continuing to collect money theough alimony and getting another partner while collecting that money (apparently that's a thing in some parts of the world)

[rigid rapids]

Some ppl don't get the joke

[true ether]

I think everyone gets the joke here

[olive canyon]

if you've got that companion app thing you should be able to just type in the POI name and it'll tell you where each one is
-# I believe, I've not used the apps myself

[fathom hull]

good luck taking over my harbor lmfao

[true ether]

Imma buy all the salt

[tranquil dragon]

This is what it looks like apparently

For Silver, this is the POI

[tranquil dragon]

Oh. I think I found two of those lol. What are the others

[true ether]

Guys I think that Richards has PTSD from this woman

[olive canyon]

For Tumbaga, this is the POI

[true ether]

There's one in the swamp

That's where I get mine

[spice bridge]

He wasent botherd by that, but about him being king

[olive canyon]

yee

• Silver's POI is always Coastal Jungle
• Gold's POI is always Foothills
• Tumbaga's POI is always Swamp

[bold obsidian]

If you haven't met the People of Tortuga faction yet, they sell a lot of plans for high-end furniture and such.

[subtle blade]

I should've just finished my space shooter and published it on Steam... Then at least I would have 50 cents.

[bold obsidian]

Tech support.

[rigid rapids]

Smugglers sell the high end furniture or am I confused

[bold obsidian]

They might have some too? Not sure, it's been a while since I bought everything.

[spice bridge]

pfff.proof?

[rigid rapids]

I think the smugglers sold the high end furniture and fountains while the Tortuga folks sold the build pieces

[echo bane]

I'll look for them 😊
Also need to upgrade my equipment ao I don't die in 2 hits

[bold obsidian]

Yeah, that's probably a higher priority than a nice shelf.

is rapier of 1000 cuts the meta?

[bold dirge]

its fine early game, but the bleed damage doesn't scale, so not so much long run IMO

[bold obsidian]

The true warrior will secure victory with any weapon.

[brittle ether]

The meta is to aura-farm as hard as you can. Get the nicest-looking equipment, get the coolest looking ship designs and colour schemes, and just mog

[subtle dune]

im nearing 15, and i notice its bad for boarding 15s
whats better for cqc?

[split charm]

A MK18 with a 10.5" barrel, suppressed.

[brittle ether]

In my experience, if you're dealing with several opponents, and that especially includes plundering enemy vessels, go greatsword.
A swing and a chop, and the lads will drop!

[spice bridge]

Thats.....autocad tetris in....3d!!! 🗿

[rigid rapids]

[subtle dune]

id assume slow swing speed tho no?

I mostly shoot crocs and range most ops down with my reliable musket. My Ro1000C is gettin stale tho.

[brittle ether]

That's the trade off, I'm afraid.
You get big reach instead of speed. Also, the heavy-attack for greatswords is a giant thrust manoeuvre, so you can effectively 'pierce' the first guy, and hit the guy behind him, for equal damage.

[subtle dune]

i do that wit my rapier, is crusher epic any good?

[brittle ether]

But it is also just fun to board the enemy ship, you have that moment where all of your crew are clogging the enemy stairs, and you decide to jump in, over the crowd, and start swinging wildly from below.

Truly, the Pirate Greatsword Board meta.

[rigid rapids]

It's so easy to just thrust auto then back off to repeat

[regal wagon]

No, they hired a new guy.

[brittle ether]

I assume the Crusher is good. I personally swear by Greatsword (shocking, I know), so I can't speak for how good it is.

[subtle dune]

base GS? theres this

[brittle ether]

I like the Duelist Greatsword.
If you can become a Parry King, nail those perfect parries, you can get a damage-buff that stacks up to 3 times, and on Epic-quality, restores some lost health if you maintain the damage-buff and continue to perfect-parry!

[regal wagon]

Rapier of dev for swamps, 1k cuts for the foothills, plague halberd for boarding

[compact quail]

worst greatsword from the three

[brittle ether]

But honestly bro, just pick whatever is the most fun.

Meta means nothing. If you can find excitement in finding larger better numbers, may I interest you in a Microsoft Office subscription? I'll gladly take a 50% Finder's Fee for the reference.
Yo-ho-ho!

[subtle blade]

I strongly disagree with this evaluation.

[toxic urchin]

whats the playstyle like for greatsword. is it hit, hit, dodge or something else?

[compact quail]

learn to parry

[toxic urchin]

it cant be more boring than rapier

[subtle blade]

Greatsword is really combo heavy for optimal damage. There's two chains you can use.

[brittle ether]

Ideally, parry a lot, use 2-heavy hits, try to break the enemy posture, and go ballistic on them.

And if you have a crowd, either be a tiny pathetic manbaby coward blowhard, and learn "tactics" like breaking the enemy into smaller crowds, or be the absolute C H A D I know you can be, and just start spamming standard attacks until you or the enemy drop.

[toxic urchin]

sounds fun

[brittle ether]

And fun is the name of the game!

"Y'know I can't read, Fiddleskin, that ain't me problem, now, is it?"

[subtle blade]

Could Pirates really not read?

[brittle ether]

Reading is not considered a top-priority skill when compared to skinning, fishing, hunting, killing, raiding, treasure-hunting.
There's a reason that the treasure maps mostly just had one giant letter 'X'.

[deep rampart]

Many couldn’t read or swim

[subtle blade]

Hmmmm I wonder about that

[brittle ether]

It also meant that Cartographers were in HIGH demand, and scholarly men could be incentivsed (either benign with bribe, or threatened) to join a less-than-legitimate Privateer group, because that guy who could read was gonna be your one chance to deal with contracts, sign documents, and maybe just smart enough to even write down your journey and give you a legend to pass on!

[deep rampart]

Allegedly pirates that started as privateers were able to read and write. But still, swimming was a rare talent

[subtle blade]

I think due to the complexity of seafaring they were probably more educated than you would guess

[rancid sierra]

There wern't any schools for poor people back then.
So.... it was kinda rough. And pirates were pretty far down on the chain most of the time.
So education was kinda for the merchant class and up.

[brittle ether]

Thus, Pirates are the ultimate Underdog story, like the Rebels from Star Wars.
We rise from the pit of the social class, and break the social norms!

Sure, we gotta kill and maybe even say a curse-word now-and-then, but c'mon, at least nobody (important) got hurt!

I remember being taught that a lot of pirates were formerly Navy who had been pressed into service and at some point deserted. Men pressed into service were always poor, uneducated and often criminals.

[craggy storm]

I wish I could play windrose 😭😭

[subtle blade]

In other words piracy was a predictable consequence of the landed class's own actions?

[brittle ether]

I even have a smoking gun for the 'reading' argument.

The only signs that our Pirate-bro's can build involves ye-olde Medieval pictures, no words what so-ever!
The closest argument to our pirate literacy is the butt of the ship with the Naval equivalent of a license plate.
And those big beauties take the labour of dozens of men, more than likely, one of them can read, but not us!

how do i determine how much a weapon will hit for with my stats? any calculators?

Of course. at the time the British empire was flourising. They needed forced labor to maintain the staus quo. then became victims of their own greed.

i saw the two 20% and got confussled

[subtle blade]

It's pretty complicated and also target dependant...

[vale violet]

My favorite sword is the thousand cut, but it sucks with ship boarding. There isnt any room for dodging. So yeah, it depends.

[rancid sierra]

The way that website is designed is... questionable, yes.
But 20% is the epic ascension.
And it's kinda poor.
Because if you have 10% crit rate, that means it's a whopping 2% average dps boost.
You have to build your entire character around crit chance to boost that number, but in doing so, you're reducing your base damage...

[subtle dune]

can you get gold tier weapons

[brittle ether]

If I had to hash a bet, we will be seeing Legendary-tier weapons in the Ashlands.

[olive canyon]

we have no Legendary Weapons thus far, no

[subtle blade]

At 20-30% crit chance (which is easy to reach) you are already hitting crits pretty regularly. And if you get additional crit damage boosts like the elixir and the ring, then that Greatsword can really shine.

[brittle ether]

Absolutely GOAT name BTW, Father Earth.

Make that a sea-worthy name! Get your Frigate up to snuff, and Christen it!

[slow skiff]

not really reducing base damage considering you get around 40 points and the stats soft cap to 20 meaning you're more likely getting value out of the mastery stat and crit clothing to drastically increase your crit cahnce on top of using the 5% increased crit chance ring.

[vale violet]

Speaking of names, what have you names your ships?

[subtle blade]

The Naga's Tongue

[slow skiff]

The hard, fast and violent

[bold obsidian]

I captain the Old Crow, as my crew is permanently pickled.

[olive canyon]

Ketch - Bow Breaker
Brig - Glass Maiden
Frigate - Dreadnought

[brittle ether]

I never realised you could name your vessels until I got to the Brig, so I went:

Ketch - Ketch
Brig - Folly's Lament
Frigate - MacBeth

[rancid sierra]

Someone painted their bretheren boat red and named it "The Rusty Clam". >.>

[vale violet]

I could come up with nothing more original than Sea Biscuit for my brig, and The Bigger Boat for my frigate. I lack imagination for names.

[subtle dune]

All 3 are named after my late dad

[vale violet]

My ketch was the Grey Goose.

[brittle ether]

Ideally, and I am hedging my bet for the future here, but I will assume there is another tier sea vessel coming, perhaps some stupidly-dumb-fun-sized Galleon, and I will give that "Revelation."
Because when you see that broadside coming, you're either gonna meet God or the Devil 💀

[subtle blade]

Rest in peace. May these ships never sink. 🫡

[vale violet]

Nice

[subtle blade]

...is that PFP from the Haunted Mansion Queue?

[subtle dune]

They wont 😈
Smokey Eagle, cuz he was a smoker and had an eagle tattoo from his time in the navy 60 years ago.
Groaning Bear, cuz after a night of whiskey all you'd hear is death groans coming from his den.
Grey Phoenix, because the entire time i knew him, his hair was grey and a man never dies unless he's forgotten.

[deep rampart]

Angel’s Wrath

[subtle dune]

why not Judgement.

[vale violet]

That's awesome!

[deep rampart]

I want a true white hull paint

[vale violet]

Haunted Mansion?

[brittle ether]

Because first comes the Revelation when you see the ship, and Judgement will be the name of the cannon ball that's gonna come crashing through your hull, 3 decks, and about 5 unlucky crew men! Yarr harr!

And also, there's no real limit. Judgement is just as valid a name!

[mild sky]

are we getting sharks?

[subtle blade]

Hm. Maybe not then. There is a very similar looking relief at The Haunter Mansion ride in Disney World.

[mild sky]

or sea animals and fishing

[subtle dune]

48 pounders when

[toxic urchin]

i just saw a reaper leviathan under the waves

[vale violet]

There is fishing now, but it isnt on RDR2 level. I love fishing in that game.

[brittle ether]

We gotta kidnap a child and force him to watch us fish on the upper deck of the Frigate 💀

[bold obsidian]

I think I'm missing context here.

[brittle ether]

(RDR2 reference for Jack Marston)

[subtle blade]

Man I love domesticated animals, they enrich human life in so many ways. Lol. 🤭

[bold obsidian]

Our diet, for example.

[vale violet]

Hmm, I have five dogs, thirty hens, 19 geese, one peacock, goats and horses. Come gimme a hand.

[slow skiff]

to be clear you can get your crit chance up to 36% with the 5% crit ring, 20 mastery and if you're using a greatsword with the executioner's aim talent giving you an extra 12% on top of the 10% from clothing.

[haughty drift]

What are the chances we’ll get a Barque or Barquentine eventually?

[subtle dune]

who used only the basic greatsword

[queen spruce]

epic ring + mastery points + privater + points gives my greatsword about a 40% crit, its berry nice.

[bold obsidian]

Think it's a bit early for those, no? @haughty drift

[green flare]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1193662498625310810/1480124557619761152/attachment.gif

[rose sapphire]

yes and no, there are some that we should never have bred, like pugs

[bold relic]

It would be fun if Windrose eventually broadened its scope to include more regular merchantmen from various nations, as well as national faction play (England, France, Spain, Holland). There could be (at least) one colony for each, with different ships, quests, reps, items and loyalty bonuses. Just a thought.

[queen spruce]

I doubt we'll see that.

[haughty drift]

I mean, Id think a barque would be a stepping stone between the Brig and Frigate. I just asked the chances eventually, not immediately.

[green flare]

We won’t get past Spanish for another year or so.

[vale violet]

It would be. Back in pirate days those countries were always brawling and stealing from each other.

[queen spruce]

Loved the game, but its basically a standard survival game with a pirate skin, its not a pirate game

[green flare]

If you want pirates with factions. Play world of sea battle

[brittle ether]

I will NEVER say no to extra NPC-content, be it neutral/faction-rep NPCs sailing around (like an expanded version of what we have now in the Faction waters around Windrose, with NPC PvE combat), or, and I am on my knees when I say this, adding NPCs that can wander around your bonfire areas to make your Pirate Towns look much more lively.

[slow skiff]

also crit cahnce seems to give a random amount of crit between .5% to .3% when investing points...

[subtle blade]

Hm... Strange.

[vale violet]

I'm level 11, just started in the swamp and still can't find the brethren buyer..what's up with that?

[slow skiff]

were you expecting pirate PvP like sea of thieves?

[subtle blade]

They're usually off in the wings somewheres, easy to miss

[queen spruce]

No I was expecting a survival game with a pirate skin

[bold obsidian]

Bretheren should be adjacent to foothills, look for Bretheren waters and you'll be in the right area.

[slow skiff]

But you literally called it a survival game with ap irate skin?

[brittle ether]

Ideally, you'd have to sail around and explore the other islands, and that should lead you to the Brethren of the Coast HQ.

[green flare]

Actually no. My bretheren was beyond the swamps. But it’s usually not hard to find.

[queen spruce]

I'm not sure why that is hard to follow, Windrose isn't a pirate game at its core, we aren't pirates in any historical sense, its a good survival game, and thats fine

[olive canyon]

🤫

[slow skiff]

We're functionally doing the things pirates do though

[green flare]

We are experimenting with a black pearl mod

[queen spruce]

killing zombies?

[brittle ether]

Fighting Ninja's to see who's better?

[slow skiff]

fighting and looting other ships, finding treasure, sailing, turning in your goods you earn, getting a crew...

[subtle blade]

AdventureQuest player spotted.

[fossil rover]

Wat, what game is that

[brittle ether]

If it's any conciliation, I only enjoyed playing MechQuest, I never could get into AQ.
But also, it's just a long running joke, the Pirates vs. Ninja's dynamic.

Good shout tho, big respect 👊

[fossil rover]

Hmmm, that gets me excited then. Don't really like the crazy fantasy stuff, methed out Brits would be cool though

[flint sun]

Shhhh... It is a little know fact that pirates were actually the elite guard force protecting the world from an undead invasion. The whole looting and pillaging was just a cover for governments back in Europe who didn't want to admit to their citizens that they were funding a life or death fight, so they just arranged for to go get plundered and tell stories about being plundered.

[vale violet]

It would be nice at some point to have camps, ships etc. just to randomly walk into and loot..again, kinda like RDR2. Maybe taverns to level up

[worldly hollow]

No roadmaps yet so we don’t know

[young wolf]

we should have this by day one

[olive canyon]

?
there are tons of POIs that have relootable containers - just not chests

[shy shuttle]

HE SPEAKS

[queen spruce]

Our crew is immortal, our ship is magically summonable, we can teleport, death is a minor inconvience, we're fighting the undead, farming respawning materials, have only one enemy faction at sea which is optional outside of quests, but I don't think any sea battles are part of the main story (I may not remember it if it was), using magic weapons. Survival with a pirate skin and thats ok. What I do think it means is that while I'd love more pirate being added to the game, I don't think we're going to see much change to the core game.

[brittle ether]

Windrose hidden lore???
💀

[slow skiff]

Sooo you want a videogame... with hyper realistic elements like permadeath and no fast travel...

[vale violet]

I know, but imagine being able to walk around that tavern in Tortuga grabbing rum booze and generally raising hell.

[twin dome]

i want to get drunk in-game on me ship with me buddies. currently this is restricted to real life.

[queen spruce]

I want a pirate game, I also want this game, I like Windrose, I just think people wanting more pirate like activities are going to be disapointed. This isn't about me at all.

[bold obsidian]

What, to you, would be a pirate game?

[slow skiff]

This is 100% about you since a ton of people have already bought and invested into the game because its as pirate-y as they come. You just want it to be hyper realistic and are claiming you're standing up for others

[novel glen]

Go play Sea of Thieves or something, or wait for AC4's remake.

[twin dome]

there's a few other 17XX games in the works

[slow skiff]

@bold obsidian this is his 'what i want'

No magic, no zombies, permadeath, crew injuries etc

[twin dome]

permadeath? I got knocked out by an azure dodo in my first 10 minutes of the game

[slow skiff]

Which like.. sounds like you want a sim or TTRPG not a survival game

[slow skiff]

BUT YOU DON'T RESPAWN IN REAL LIFE

[oak solar]

Nice save file ya had there.

[queen spruce]

crew management, multiple enemy factions at war, the need to keep the crew happy, the need to sell loot at havens or friendly ports. Sid Myer's Pirates! was much more of a pirate game than this one, despite some cartoon elemements of that one (and the original was MUCH less cartoony than the 2000's remake). Raiding towns. Getting info for rich ships. You know Pirate things. That's probably never going to be part of Windrose which is fine for the game it is.

[vale violet]

A Black Sails video game??

[brittle ether]

Wait until I tell you about this magic tool we have called the Defib...
(inb4 screaming match, it's a joke)

[vale violet]

Politics and brothel management

[slow skiff]

@queen spruce

1. Early access...

2. you literally can sell your loot you get at multiple points. theres loot exclusively meant to sell

3. We already have the breathen that fight blackbeard crew, we have an east india flag in the game and the devs said more factions are coming.

4. Raiding towns might come.. and I could see quests being added to hunt down rich ships... but this game JUST came out in EA.

It sounds like you haven't even gotten to get the ketch ship yet and are saying its not a pirate game

[bold obsidian]

That all sounds fantastic as a sim, I'd definitely play that. But that would be a completely different game, and it's not inherently more or less a pirate game than Windrose, just a different type of game altogether.

[undone niche]

Oh, finally a rare topic in this channel. 😉

[queen spruce]

Thats what I've been trying to say... over and over..

[undone niche]

I def would buy such a simulation pirate game

[carmine bluff]

thank god its not... the topic....

[slow skiff]

but you're upset... that this game isn't a sim. and because its not a sim its not a 'pirate game'

Speak for yourself. I do, in fact, respawn.

[slow skiff]

Call of duty isn't a military sim does that mean its not a military game

[queen spruce]

Point to any quote of mine that seems upset. I said I like Windrose, I have over 150 hours playing, where am I in any way upset with the game?

[brittle ether]

I dunno, it seems pretty sim-like to me.
Run for about 5-10 seconds and I'm out of breath.

[bold obsidian]

Only if you forgot to eat breakfast.

[limpid ermine]

the little islands with no question marks on them are they worth stopping at?

[subtle blade]

This is why you should buy TCGs. It's like playing the lottery!

[edgy saddle]

👌

[quick copper]

if you hop onto the beach i think question marks will appear i have had that happen a few times

[carmine bluff]

heh. tcg card shop simulator reference

[brittle ether]

If they have no P.O.I's, you'll likely find a 50/50 chance of:

• It will be a place for one of the Blackbeard treasure maps (not really a spoiler, you'll find one of these in the first 30-mins of gameplay)
• a flat area with no other visible 'building threats', so you can build freely

[slow skiff]

Question marks are point of intereest which when fully looted grant xp

[bold obsidian]

Can be good for resources, or base building. Some of them have treasures buried on them, if you follow Blackbeard's maps.

[brittle ether]

Yasssss twin thoughts 💅

[vale violet]

Absolutely. There's all kinds of good stuff. Some of them will also come with exploration XP

[subtle blade]

Ehhhhhhhh the little islands are hit or miss. Some are literally totally empty.

[bitter lance]

This game has been out for like 7 months now is there any new big huge update yet

[bitter lance]

I'll take that as a 'no' for any big updates

[vernal grotto]

what might be cool is for upgrades to crew equipment to be ''crew uses maces to stun the enemy during boarding'', or ''crew gains a buff for each enemy crew slain'' called rampage, maybe. 🙂

[bold obsidian]

Come back in 5 months.

[olive canyon]

I'm hoping that the Boarding Gear item gets variants, like how we have for the cannons and hulls

[bitter lance]

It takes 5 months for an update?

[undone niche]

And take the „out for7 months“ too

[tired sinew]

Have all these large big bases now but its lame theres not enough npc interaction and incorporation. Also would be cool if from time to time boats or pirates come to attack your base

[vernal grotto]

boarding might be the hardest part of the game, at least for me who have not been in t3 areas. would be nice to have some way to control how my crew fights. i'd like for them at least to survive as long as possible.

[olive canyon]

guys, stop falling for the most obvious bait 😭

[brittle ether]

You can't tell us what to do!

ENGAGE THE BAIT, LADS! WE'RE WINNING!

[bold obsidian]

Seems like a good path for implementing crew customization, maybe.

[olive canyon]

Arr ya winnin, crew?

[vernal grotto]

crew customization and crew gear should be top prio imo. it's a bit of a missing feature.

[brittle ether]

Actually, top priority is adding more sea shanties to the roster, and preferably have some sort of doobie-assistant, like a cabin boy/deckscrubber who follows you around and acts as your hypeman/cheerleader, just stroking your ego as the King/Queen of the Pirates!

[olive canyon]

whilst I agree they'd be nice, I can see why they're lower on the priority list - since they dont truly effect the gameplay, and the Boarding actions arent supposed to just be automated "your crew wins because you geared them up high enough"

[waxen crow]

[minor ginkgo]

Do we have information when more content is coming. I kinda did everything possible and i want more 😄

[sudden mantle]

on my third playtrough i was wondering if we gonna have some huge giant boatcave island 🙂

[olive canyon]

October, roughly, is when the next major updated is slated - it will have a new Region, Ashlands, and likely come alongside new Faction lvls & rewards, a new Ship type, new base assets, and new armor/weapons

[sudden mantle]

I saw the poll about including rivers on islands Interior hideout inside a rock formation would be dope.

[bold obsidian]

River leading to the ol' cave behind a waterfall?

[novel pawn]

They should really add emotes sort of like the one in red dead online to communicate

[sudden mantle]

yea those sort of things with multiple corniches like a iron mine above ground level.

already over 400 hours in i just love building stuff. played 9k hours in Valheim.

[flint sun]

Or maybe not that crazy. My storages tell me I've got something like 6k each of stone and wood, and countless more chests with all the other stuff. I've got at least one chest of triton's horns. So that much space on a ship would be filled up without too much difficulty. And it'd be so much nicer than teleporting back to main base every twenty minutes.

[brittle lava]

Are triton's horns even used for anything

[royal surge]

[somber osprey]

Call me optimistic, but I'ved always viewed the polls as a development style "We're curious and thinking about this random grab bag of ideas, I wonder what the community thinks about them?"

[flint sun]

Technically yes, but nothing particularly useful.

[compact quail]

[somber osprey]

I remember one of the mods saying the polls could help development direction but yeah the unofficial is nice.

[queen spruce]

Soon, as the game content is done, the only people posting in polls will be the base builder types, the problem with base builder types is they get excited about tile sets, not gameplay. Good devs do not listen to base builder types for game direction.

[compact quail]

u do realize the dude that does tile sets is not the dude that designs the core game and the gameplay?

[flint sun]

Yeah, they do seem the sort. Nothing official or binding, but it's always nice to see the community's interest in things. I know if I just finished a task and was looking for inspiration on what item out of a list of things to prioritize next, an opinion poll like that might guide my choices.

[grave scaffold]

Can I buy the guy who does tile sets a coffee?

[flint sun]

Good game devs build the game they want to play, the game that they will be happy to play.

Chances are, if they are happy making it and playing it, a lot of us will be happy with it too.

[old depot]

that video is just vomiting the 80s

[queen spruce]

thats not really relevant. Base builder types tend to be poor game players, at the point the game is lower pop and full of basebuilder types they will skew polls on game design to easier play. This isn't about dev resources but dev direction.

[deep rampart]

Isn’t it wonderful

[compact quail]

this makes no sense

[deep rampart]

Hardcore Valhiem with my castles beg to differ

[flint sun]

That being said, my hope would be that they neither focus on the base-builders, nor ignore them. More stuff to build with will always be nice, but it's also the sort of stuff that the artist and modeller time over the coming years. And they will fill youtube with beautiful creations and draw eyes and attention; which is a good thing. See Minecraft, for instance. Arguably one of the most successful and widely played games of all time. I doubt it'd be half as popular if it didn't have all the people recreating cities and other programmable computers and all that within it.

But yes, builders should not be the focus. They should just be one of the many elements that get attention.

[compact quail]

wii sports

[undone niche]

Well, I hope that more base-builders vote than "turn Windrose into a hardcore simulation" players. 😂

[queen spruce]

I hope they listen to neither

[somber osprey]

Why? Part of the game focus literally part of their teaser is base building.

[queen spruce]

I see its already begun

[green flare]

Black pearl ship, queen Anne’s, flying dutchy. And new outfits. Plus a whole new island prompt when you get to the blockade. Where you “flup” and teleport to a prebuilt expanse of just. Sand.

Granted there are more of us than windrose devs.

[somber osprey]

I’m just asking why since it’s a part of the foundation of the game.

[flint sun]

I used to be disappointed they didn't have detailed wind mechanics. Then I got used to sailing in it, and I realized that to my mind, it's already there - it's just being handled by my crew. I don't have to dictate every single minute sail change like I did in Sea of Thieves because I've got competent people handling it for me.

However, I would absolutely love it if there was a wind-related task that a co-op player could run. Say, something that - if handled nicely - gave some bonus speed or mobility; but wouldn't harm or penalize anything if it was just ignored. More stuff for co-op players to do to contribute meaningfully while the main player is sailing the ship would be really nic

[green flare]

Play world of sea battle. You’ll know exactly why a lot of people do not want wind directions affecting sailing speeds.

[gusty gust]

I want wind direction to affect how hungry my builds get

[queen spruce]

You can tell someone focused on gameplay vrs someone focuses on base building by their reaction to base raids being added. I value gameplay and a base that facilitates the game, not having "look at my cool base" as the end game. I realize others think different.

[queen spruce]

Player numbers will go down waiting for new content, base builders are usually the only ones who stick around at low pop because their game doesn't require it. Base builders don't as a group care about gameplay, I pointed out why this is bad for polls as game direction. I can't be more clear. You don't have to agree, but I do hope you can see my point. If you can't, I don't think I can be any more clear.

what is your point?
there is no point

[flint sun]

I feel that you missed the point of what I said. I said that I used to miss the wind mechanics, then explained how it kind of feels like it's there, it's just not something I have to manage because I have a competent crew first mate and crew that handle the sails without me needing to dictate things.

That being said, I would love to see an extra sail or something that a co-op player could handle with wind mechanics so that they could do something to meaningfully contribute to sailing the ship instead of just being spectators. Because teamwork is fun. It would need to be strictly bonus though, not something that would make people feel like they were being penalized for not playing coop.

[compact quail]

lemme scare you with le evil above 12 time

Hi a neighbour EU guy 👋

[olive canyon]

would love to see some teaser images/vid if y'all got any - I'm not the biggest PotC fan, but I'm always interested in things being added to Windrose 👀

[gusty gust]

That would be neat. Or being able to go up to the crow's nest to tag farther away ships for the person at the helm. Just little things to make the coop sailing feel more alive.

[compact quail]

you just assume a lot of things
that everyone except base builders will leave
that builders don't care for gameplay
the polls are literally said to not be official
the game won't change the direction if some polls on discord will be: ayy lmao give us building stuff
I am always for more building stuff. i am probably one of the biggest gameplay simps in game you could ever imagine and do the weirdest in-depth stuff about games i play
i would never say: oh no, teh builerds are ruining muh gaem

Once we release packs for it yeah. But we like being petty till we get returns. Plus we really do enjoy wosb far more than windose currently.

the second someone releases a black pearl mod i am speed dialing the mouse

[queen spruce]

[green flare]

The huge issues we had was we added cannons and that the ship is a bit taller than ketch’s and brigs

[somber osprey]

Isn’t the pearl a frigate?

[old depot]

I have to stop torturing poor Axel

[compact quail]

he needs a nickname, smth snappy. like blaxel

[queen spruce]

Its a slave ship in a deleted scene

[bold obsidian]

Galleon, I'm pretty sure.

[somber osprey]

Most slave ships were frigates no? Modified for speed to facilitate stable & quick transport across the Atlantic?

[green flare]

Ehhhhh nooo it’s more like a brigantine I think.

[compact quail]

galleon
both the real one and the movie one

[queen spruce]

apparently thats why Jack Sparrow became a pirate, he freed the slaves on the ship and it was burned (hense black) and made a deal with Davy Jones to raise it. Disney didn't want to go that dark and deleted that bit.

[deep rampart]

The black pearl was a Dutch galleon merchant ship. Sparrow was tasked with a slave delivery and freed the slaves instead, this being declared a pirate by the government

[delicate furnace]

is a slave ship or was almost a slave ship? cause I recall he refused to transport slave and t was the reason why his ship was sunk

[winged compass]

These nerds getting there pirate panties twisted 😂

[green flare]

Wait nah three masts is an e Indian man or galleon

[somber osprey]

I knew about the deleted story. Would’ve been neat since they still hinted at it regardless.
I’ll have to look at the model again ig.

[compact quail]

i never understood the beckett scene in at worlds end
i guess because they cut the movie to shreds
like the liars dice scene, that actually makes you understand the game they play
its somewhere on youtube, even with finished cg

[old depot]

hey leave my homeys alone

[olive canyon]

High walls and aft castle is a galleon not frigate

[bold obsidian]

You're here to play a video game about pirates, you do not get to exclude yourself from that label.

[queen spruce]

Well no reason to believe Disney would model an actual slave ship since they wanted it to look cool too.

[tame brook]

It makes perfect sense to not have that in the movie. Then you would know he is a "decent person" and it would ruin his character. Questioning and not knowing for sure opens up everything. Now you think maybe he could have attack ships in the open sea, or maybe not.

[forest elk]

Well shoot

[compact quail]

wait. all the 4 movies of that series hit you over the head how jack is a good guy
did he even do any real crime in the movies whatsoever?

[tame brook]

Not really. They paint him as also very selfish. It's never really blatant. They make him seem as everything he does is for his own desires.

[green flare]

Robbing a bank

[compact quail]

huh? i do not remember that happening

[bold obsidian]

He stole a navy ship, for starters.

[somber osprey]

He stole the intrepid.. uh.. broke out of prison.. Thats all I got off hand

[green flare]

He didn’t just rob a bank. He lowkey stole the bank.

[compact quail]

ok ok, he "borrowed" a ship

[bold obsidian]

Also kidnapping, when he took Elizabeth hostage.

[old depot]

so I use the || Hog caller once and Truffles stays with me?||

[tame brook]

You question who he is most of the time. You see good. You see selfish behavior. You never really know for absolute certain.

[compact quail]

i still dk what you talk about tbh. in which of the 4 movies did that happen?
curse, chest, end or tides?

[bold obsidian]

Commandeered. Nautical term.

[queen spruce]

killed innocent British saliors just doing their duty, often against their will as they were press ganged into what was considered the worst service in the Empire at the time as the West Indies were pretty much a death sentance. They were not much better off than the slaves he freed.

[somber osprey]

Yeah it’s a reusable item that goes on cooldown.

[tame brook]

To be fair anyone who saw a girl like that in a day and age like that would probably kidnap her too lol

[winged compass]

Sir Truffles pronouns are Piggy and Boar

[compact quail]

ai. there are only 4 movies

[green flare]

I’ve literally watched the fifth movie bro

Spanish empire
And the dope gallows scene

[bold obsidian]

Cooldown is identical to the length of the summon, so you can have Truffle out continuously barring death in combat.

[subtle blade]

Among the dumbest scenes ever filmed.

[olive canyon]

nah - Truffles will spawn, fight with you for like 2 minutes or die and despawn
you can then resummon once the whistle is off cooldown

[compact quail]

you must imagining things. there is no way someone would, after the already arguably mid 4th one that still had its moments, make a nother one that is utterly terrible, and makes no sense and does character assassinations of virtually everyone and ontop of that tease with davy jones coming back when its really impossible
and potentually even killing someone off like barbossa.

They were going to do a girl power POTC movie but then Jonny won his trial and it got shelved. Oh darn.

Hello chat, I cannot find the answer, do chopped trees and other things despawn overtime? I saw that dropped items will not despawn.

Thank you

will not respawn around your bonefire

and check pinned in #🤝│player-help about all that from Tona

[austere helm]

this is why I'm making my own forest >:D

[sudden mantle]

Farm for the seeds

[compact quail]

it does matter to remove stump. they can block the spawns over time but trees do not respawn 1 to 1 in the very same spots
and for plague, it is random where they do and where they dont so if you chop down enough, you will see respawning spots

[austere helm]

I already have lol

[sudden mantle]

Im thinking to build a maze over the swamp area with corridors that can drive you insane.

[compact quail]

do yourself and everyone on ur server a favor and boot up the 10x loot mod, get a bunch of seeds, and replant the trees you need on ur starter island so it stops looking like Phiers bald brendan head

[near shoal]

I am more concerned about Cluttering the world with stuff I drop

There are not. They do respawn in plague zones though

there are no bromeliad seeds in the current build, no

Bromeliad is more easy to find at daytime

just an fyi - one guy used a CE to give himself the "Bromeliad Seeds" item, and it isnt plantable in this build anyway

I did see that. There's scant information otherwise.

Btw im selling keys to complete quests(joking)

Change the password on the server and only hand out when you're online.

That or hide a chest with your valuables. Bonus points if you hide it just outside the bonfire limit.

That's why you go to your friends server and loot them there

The Botherhood Base, also along with the repair kits

So each faction has a vendor on Tortuga, but also their own islands. You must find their own islands.

World seeds are different, so we can't tell you where. Get sailin'

In the ocean. Other than that, you'll have to find it.

Bonfire make the surrounding area permanent, you want to look for unique plants, flower blooms, banana trees for seeds, you can't anything until you defeat Thomas Richards aka "Lieutenant Richards"

Are you solo?

not necessarily - though, the british crown was for a time, approving of Edward Teach - or at least Queen Ann herself was - perhaps the brits would be allies of blackbeards

Playing with better half, no she doesn't have them either and we share the base

[novel knoll]

yeah imagine if Teach wasn't the only antagonist. the red coats want the dark magic for themselves, too.

[golden ore]

the difference is perspective, nothing more

and queen ann knew this too

That wasnt your response lmao. Dang, gaslighting in a videogame discord.

well letters of marque

[urban pier]

Pirates: Loot everyone
Privateer: Loot everyone excluding the one government you work for.

[trail mica]

!!!! Whats happened? The fans on my laptop arnt screaming at me!?!? 😂

[strong token]

They gave up

[golden ore]

pirates; crime
privateer; organised crime

[rustic sage]

when i destroy something i built, do i get 100% of the materials back

[deep rampart]

Weird.

[bold obsidian]

Did they give up?

[hazy shoal]

The pirates life is the life for me

[trail mica]

I dont know!!! 😂

[strong token]

uhh yes for ships and I think stuff you build using the build menu but not when you disassemble upgraded weapons

[muted rose]

Yes yes it is and we have lost nothing else just brush seeds and brushes

[novel knoll]

I'm like 90% sure if we actually chose to be "pirates" factions like the Brethren of the Coast would lump us in with Blackbeard fleets as new targets

[strong token]

https://tenor.com/view/minor-spelling-mistake-gif-21179057

[deep rampart]

Are you using steam cloud?

[trail mica]

Fans are speeding up a little but Windrose is only using 40% CPU!

[rustic sage]

ahh ok 😁

[green flare]

If I were to fully word my opinion again I’d get muted or another warning. Sooo technically yeah you’re right. However I don’t really know how to say anything about this and not be cryptic as well. 👍

[haughty drift]

Pretty sure the "Brethren of the Coast" is what Pirates collectively called themselves in the 18th century

[urban pier]

Some become pirates for the money, some for the freedom, I do it for the fashion statement and expressive outlets of setting people on fire.

[novel knoll]

but aren't they against the "piracy" Blackbeard fleets are commiting? Against People of Tortuga?

[haughty drift]

Thats a good point. Maybe just against blackbeard preventing anyone else from being able to pirate?

[muted rose]

All was well before the patch

[deep rampart]

Yes but Blackbeard is trying to be king and no one wants that

[golden ore]

in real life, Ben Hornigold accepted the king's pardon and became one of the most proficient pirate hunters of the time

[urban pier]

He retired and set up business in Nassau

[novel knoll]

just further pushes the narrative that the factions aren't "generic pirates"

[strong token]

I think the lore so far is that the Brethren of the Coast are only pissed because Blackbeard is trying to Coup D'etat their status quo

[deep rampart]

Can try asking in #🤝│player-help

[languid cliff]

ASHLANDS WHEN?!?!?!?@!?!

[haughty drift]

This makes sense.

[green flare]

November or later

[urban pier]

Just curious what are your pirate's names and titles?

[novel knoll]

As far as I understand it, our friendly factions are basically Robin Hood types. So technically by British standards, Pirates. But Blackbeard's crews are the types of Pirates you mostly hear about. Ruthless, murderous, etc.

[limpid ermine]

whats the reset timer on the mines?

[urban pier]

I think an hour?

[bold obsidian]

Titles? What do you think we are, a pack of filthy nobles?

[old depot]

you think Axel's ready to come down yet? He's such a good boy

[haughty drift]

"Shannon O'Brien" - The Irish Lass who draws blood as red as her hair

The Minutemen are now pirates (again)

[urban pier]

like scourge of cuba or something like that

Another settlement needs your help, I'll mark it on your map

[haughty drift]

Also Longwing.

[green flare]

Commodore Fred Kronos of Fort Hound. Isle of the eternal bachelor.

Lead privateer of the 54 morons (maroons 🤣).

[haughty drift]

"Isle of the eternal bachelor"

18th century slang for "Incel"?

[pale vault]

Instructions unclear, killed everyone and left ROANOKE CROATOA on a tree

[green flare]

Essentially yeah isle of the incel

[old depot]

you mean Elixir of Cruelty, right?

[bold obsidian]

Bah, the only people who need to go around calling themselves things like that, are people who's names aren't infamous enough on their own.

[bold obsidian]

I meant purple healing potions, but that'll help too.

[green flare]

You really only need blue ones and the healing armor

[old depot]

I'm the scourge of Catalina Island Key West

[compact quail]

eww healing armor

[green flare]

I use healing and crit. 👍

“ to be fair though “
There is so many of us in the server.

[rustic sage]

can i make the doctor work or is he just useless walking around using my bed 😭

[urban pier]

The gaming need burning and raiding settlements, mad max style

I'll be honest, based on your inventory - you're ready for him now

Cruelty or Concentration

I use reliable blunder and dueling greatsword 👍

[bold obsidian]

He'll give you the odd low-level potion, but that's about it.

[compact quail]

sliiiiiiiiightly less bad. but still

Galen is......use-challenged.

i personally consider the better healing armor to be the worst one in the game currently

[old depot]

Blunderbuss and Executioner and my good ol' fists

[green flare]

Decent drip. And I use crit as well. 🤷‍♂️

[compact quail]

i also consider crit to be super bad unless you headshot with ranged

[bold obsidian]

Honestly there's quite a few viable builds, and that's one of the things I like about this game.

[digital spindle]

Wusg windrose peeps

[old depot]

WUSG

[green flare]

Exactly what my build is about. Snipers focus and a well placed blast to the noggin. Insta kill

[digital spindle]

Someone plz help me with this stupid ahh mission called mystery of the expedition

[compact quail]

i think sniper focus is meh.

[errant tide]

How do I get the fish FIlet

easy mode

[green flare]

With crit it’s only 200 damage less per difficulty change. Seems to only affect basic damage mainly

[hot arch]

My fellow pirates i have seen a video with gameplay of the ashlands. Did i miss news of it coming soon??

[compact quail]

no

[uneven crane]

Share your proof

[green flare]

Any ashlands stuff isn’t real. It won’t be out till October at earliest

[bold obsidian]

It's in testing, not available yet.

[olive canyon]

its old press footage from the Crosswinds days - still neat to watch though, can find it under gamescom 2025 or Capt Falcore posted some iirc

[hot arch]

Some cool looking features but not sure if its legit

[olive canyon]

"isnt real" isnt quite right - more like "very heavily subject to change"

[hot arch]

Ah that makes sense. Can't wait for more building stuff

[compact quail]

there is no way in hell that a 1.5x health modifier is just 200 dmg difference on richards

[hallow zodiac]

Must level more strength.

More strength Unga Bunga.

[green flare]

General windrose psa…!!

Any wiki Ashlands or seemingly different ships that you can’t find from bretheren.

Does NOT exist. And is either data mined, clickbait, bs, or exaggerated.

[hallow zodiac]

Make every Unga Go bunga.

[deep rampart]

https://tenor.com/view/confused-unga-bunga-confused-unga-bunga-eka-ars-gif-25929675

[compact quail]

i am pretty sure the video is from the windrose alpha, not crosswind

[old depot]

and that richards is clealry beta

[green flare]

Wasn’t beta Richards like more drowned looking?

[olive canyon]

naur, information exists for those that seek it - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8yq8KuibBWw
-# obviously content is subject to change, as is apparent with the sailing UI already being different and all

[green flare]

Erm. That’s says crosswinds don’t it?

[grim bronze]

Does this game ever explain the visual effect around tortuga?

[compact quail]

yes. undead curse

[green flare]

Even if it does you can get inside tortuga easily.

[subtle blade]

This is why I say Ashlands looked 60% done.

That's why I find the six months dev time odd...

[olive canyon]

my guy, I really dont feel like arguing semantics - I'm just showing that there's legit Ashlands info and footage, and acknowledged that it is all VERY subject to change since it is old

[grim bronze]

Is there a plan for the whole of tortuga to be accessible later?

[novel knoll]

People have reported their worlds and even characters becoming corrupted from doing that. Probably stay within the bounds of a game unless you don't mind potentially losing everything.

[olive canyon]

could be something that happens down the line later in the story - though I'm not certain how that'd function, since story progression is currently character based not world based - we'll have to wait and see

[green flare]

Uhhh lol no. My world is very much so fine.

There is also a few right ways to get in. And definitely a few wrong ways.

[spare bramble]

TIME FLIES WHEN YER HAVIN RUM! 🍹

https://youtu.be/rr1FBtYo6ng?si=5LT6U6IeGTSfuQHv

[novel knoll]

That's great news. People I spoke to mentioned their saves and characters getting bricked by doing that, so I put it in chat to potentially spare others.

[compact quail]

everytime someone posts any shanty, i am thinking: damn could be ai again

[green flare]

It’s a different method. There is a brute force method and a funny method. And the moderator suggested method.

[olive canyon]

check the upload dates and the bands - Pirates for Sail have been around for a good while, and that track in particular is certainly pre-AI

[novel knoll]

So there are multiple methods, and one of them you know can cause problems?

[austere helm]

I've gotten inside by pure accident, a freighter slapped into the side of my ship the same time I got off the wheel and I went flying and ended up on the other side of the barrier lol

[compact quail]

why do you want to get into tortuga?
there is nothing there
you will see out of bounds incomplete terrain
and most likely just trap your butt in there asking "how do i get out???"

[south lion]

could possibly be they finished the main questline and theres nothing else to do

[green flare]

There are almost no methods I know of that cause your game to die. Unless you did something so diabolical that you messed up. My ways are all really easy. One is just funny

[deep rampart]

https://tenor.com/view/go-no-to-place-else-gif-20525072

[spiral swallow]

Someone did manage to do that and was reeing he was stuck in there and could not get out 😄

[compact quail]

i was there

[novel knoll]

For chat context (not having to scroll up) I am not trying to enter Tortuga. Some folks mentioned their characters and saves getting corrupted from entering Tortuga. I don't know how or why that occurs, they claim there were no mods or other funny things going on either. I simply mentioned "I heard this can happen" as a potential warning in case going out of bounds and into Tortuga does cause an issue. That's all.

[green flare]

It’s an ok vacation spot

[cinder karma]

lol im level 11 still using that one.

Anyone else rocking a lighthouse?

[grim bronze]

I lack the motivation to build one

[timber badge]

not going to get very far not entering the single city where 90% of quests send you

[novel knoll]

Hey bud. Let me clue you in real quick.

No one is talking about going into the obviously accessible part of Tortuga where the quests are. We're talking about the ghost wall you have to try to enter in weird ways.

Thanks tho.

[timber badge]

well buddy, lemme tell you about "for context" and what that means- usually you put info in there like "ghost wall" when you mean ghost wall and then people don't have to scroll or call you out for failing your mentioned "context"

'cause you said "entering torgua" not the ghost wall

[compact quail]
