To let the cats escape? Feral cats are devastating to local bird and rodent populations, they kill for fun and it takes a toll

[quartz vine]

I mean i LITERALLY have a Natural port/cove

[cosmic pier]

Suddenly it would turn into playing any Mediterranean country in EU4 and not being allied to Tunis.

[vestal slate]

idk some places do have alot of street cats

[knotty harness]

Which- wait is this the C island with a mini-island in the middle?

[quartz vine]

We could always have an option to request help from the factions sense we build reputations with them.

[hoary swan]

When is some new stuff coming, I’m completely out of things to do

[knotty harness]

November
Time to catch up on other games

[quartz vine]

uuuuuuhhhhhh no

[vestal slate]

isnt the modding scene pretty active?

[hoary swan]

What happened to 2 months

[knotty harness]

When was it 2 months? Ashlands was always 6 months

[cosmic pier]

I mean yes, its the same island, yours just for some reason has a odd formation, very unique seed.

[knotty harness]

I absolutely wanted to build on that island, but on my map it's the furthest to the northwest it can possibly be. I'd end up teleporting 90% of the time and I really want to keep that at 50% or less

So I built on the first Blackbeard Map island instead

[rugged magnet]

In a previous conversation, I sort of hinted at that.. I said that I hope by the end of Wind Rose development, small combat ships become part of end or late game combat alongside larger Frigates.. For reasons of a different playstyle but also because it would be cool to see those small combat ships be used for what they did in history.. shore bombardment

[quartz vine]

Only the greatest get the best. lol

[cosmic pier]

Agreed. I want my Armada so the whole "flagship" thing means something, and me not salvaging my old ships and holding on to them like a hoarder pays off.

[rancid sierra]

The mudcrab had it coming.

[rugged magnet]

Ahaha.. look all I am saying is if you told me an island was full of Undead (Skeletons or other).. I would be like "HOIST THE COLORS!" Elisabeth Swan style then full broadside that island into a crater

[cosmic pier]

Reasonable force hasn't been invented yet. you are in the clear.

[rugged magnet]

Like that matters in today's society 😛

[hoary swan]

Well rip this game

[cosmic pier]

I mean. have you had a Battleship broadside you recently?

[rancid sierra]

"There was a spider. It's gone now." -sign next to a demolished hotel

[knotty harness]

You mean like how Valheim died?

[rugged magnet]

Lol yes.. in another game. I was like ok then.. good thing my ship has 3 rows of cannons.. you disabled one but what about the other 2? aim better 😛

[cosmic pier]

Valheim died because of other reasons.

[untold oriole]

it just came out a month ago, in EARLY ACCESS

[knotty harness]

I mean that's sorta my point. The next content drop being in November is not "rip Windrose"

[rugged magnet]

Funny you mention because something did happen like that in real life.. A Californian man found hundreds of spiders living in his walls so he burned it to the ground. Most people at the time on social media said something to the extent of "Reasonable"

[vestal slate]

i mean, valheim barely updates compared.

[cosmic pier]

I'd rather a company take their time producing content then cranking out content and it being slop. (Consider Old Blizzard vs New Blizzard)

GTA vs CoD

[rancid sierra]

Valheim's Ashlands update has lasted two years so far. And still no Deep North. So I'm a little worried the first new zone here will be the Ashlands. :p

[visual crescent]

yeah that’s the island. every generated world is SLLIIGGHHTLY different

[untold oriole]

god, people are sooooo impatient

[rugged magnet]

While it is true that companies are part of the problem.. for having bad writing or something, the real issue is a lack of means to make games. The world is at a point where a single corporation can deny the use of a software or tool. Great example is with Linux. Over the years, people using Proton/Wine to play games, wake up one morning to find access is blocked on a code level through an update by Microsoft game studios

[cosmic pier]

They are not Half Life fans.

[vestal slate]

maybe they got hot savage pyromaniac aliens aswell

[cosmic pier]

I mean that is an entirely different issue, while valid, all together.

[grave scaffold]

I have fish.

[hollow urchin]

i just finished the game i NEED MORE this game is addicting

[bold obsidian]

Time to chop down the tallest tree in the forest.

[rugged magnet]

Yes but also.. its part of the problem because while certain things like Vulkan for example.. Yes its a PITA to work with but it costs FAR less to use than Direct X by a significant margin.. not just in the fact its royalty free but also because Vulkan is cross platform unlike Direct X. Any game using Vulkan will work on mobile phones or PC's without any adjustments

[vestal slate]

mods?

[hoary swan]

They can add content without releasing a massive update like ashlands, new factions to fight? Bounties? Something

[hollow urchin]

are there mods that add more to the game?

[untold oriole]

how do we know we're not getting that with the ashlands?

[rugged magnet]

I guess we will see. I will just be happy if they make it.. successfully. I have seen so many games enter early access then go poof

[vestal slate]

dont think so apart from island formations but they should let you make the base game replayable with respawning chests and enemy loot drops

[hoary swan]

We may very well, but it’s good to have some content to keep people interested in the game until a update like that

[hollow urchin]

ah i see i just cant wait till the ashlands come out im playing enshrouded till it comes out

[vestal slate]

yeah the new updates seem really good

[untold oriole]

meh.. I'm 200 hours in, on my third character

[cosmic pier]

what I was referring to was more just profit philosophy. Right now in the AAA industry, quality is secondary to quantity. Doesn't matter what is in the update as long as you update. Add now, fix later. If you hear a company now say "We're delaying this because it has not reached our bar for quality." That makes them suddenly look like super heroes, where that was industry standard in the 90 and 2000s.

[rancid sierra]

Enshrouded update 8 came out a while ago, and I still haven't played it again. Some quests were taken out, some cosmetic quests were added in. There's a few ? on my map again but... I ain't feeling it.

[hoary swan]

I’m 280 hours in I’ve built numerous bases have collected every mat in preparation have built every variant of every ship and have helped 12 of my friends beat the game and learn it.

[hollow urchin]

ngl enshrouded is cool with the magic but its not as fun and windrose

[vestal slate]

think they reworked the combat

[cosmic pier]

I'm still playing through the new update. I still feel like combat still isn't there. The trees still feel empty, and certain classes just feel like they got the step child treatment (looking at you rogue)

[vestal slate]

though the rogue was kinda horrible state before

[rugged magnet]

Oh I understood that and responded with that being a factor of the profit.. they want profit because the cost to make games these last couple of years is insane. To put in perspective.. Cyperbunk 2077 was 441 MILLION to develop, market, publish and so on. To put that in perspective, GTA IV was closer to 200 million.. CP was over TWICE GTA

[cosmic pier]

its not any better really.

[vestal cypress]

sounds like a lot of #🎭│offtopic chat today

[vernal grotto]

watching enshrouded it looks great. still have not bought it though.

[rugged magnet]

Sounds like someone trying to be a mod 😛

[vestal slate]

yeah true

[cosmic pier]

Cyberpunk got screwed (initially) by the investors. CDKPR said "this isn't ready" and the investors said "too bad ship it anyway." and it launched in a horrendous state. But is actually a really freaking good game, now that all the crap has been fixed.

[vestal slate]

Yeah Cyberpunk is honestly impressive, not many clips that dont surprise

[rancid sierra]

I enjoyed it, myself. Have 100 hours in this game, 200 in enshrouded, 1,000 in Valheim. You know. Rookie numbers.
It's like minecraft style building, and then typical Breath of the Wild style combat, gliding, eating, etc.

[rugged magnet]

Eh I suppose.. well either way I hope Wind Rose does well. I get so tired of seeing games just die. Its happening way more frequently than I had previously seen with my Game Testing years

[cosmic pier]

one of the big problems is that mob packs aren't designed for stealth. There isn't things to hide behind, there aren't any perks or armor that give noise reduction. Daggers fall off hard compared to other weapons. Bows are just....superior in every shape and way. Getting the upgrades for the Huntress isnt accessible until the second biome (which also still favors ranger).

[hot plover]

I've been able to stack 7 or so off the ground. No clue about at sea.

This was also from like 2-4 days after release so idk if this is something that got patched in the last few weeks

[vestal slate]

alot of those other games were kinda just greedy companies doing the bare minimum

[rugged magnet]

Some yes.. Others were just straight up criminal.. Like stealing Assets. That happened recently with an early access game.. they got caught because the game they stole from, happened to be a Game of the Year, game.. so everyone knew

[vestal slate]

aah yeah, but even just being able to do daggers is good, before even merciless didnt work

[cosmic pier]

true, it is better. They just need to push class identities harder.

[rugged magnet]

As far as that is concerned.. I think the issue isnt just identity.. its also a lack of planning perhaps is the word? I get its early access so maybe they cant do it right now but.. I was surprised to not see more "inbetween weapons". Right now its just the Infantry Musket (Agility instead of the normal Musket which is Accuracy I think its called?)

An example to show where I am going.. In early Fire Emblems.. There were some weapons that were B Sword, B Light Magic

[cosmic pier]

Windrose, so far, seems to have a strong DNA, and the devs have appeared to be very open to feedback and listening to what the players want. It feels a lot more accessible to say "I like this, and don't like this" and have a sense that the suggestion is considered.

Shoot, one of the things I thought of in playing was "man I wish I could dock my ship"
checked the discord and there was a poll up asking if that was a feature people would want. They are attuned, and are smart.

[vestal slate]

as far as planning goes, i dont know who designed the gems but its impressive someone can be so thoughtless, with enshrouded i mean

[solid junco]

Ah, 7 would be insane. I managed to stack 2 only, so maybe/probably I'm missing something.

[compact quail]

the scaling or the stat doesn't matter.

[rugged magnet]

I think that was a little too harsh.. I recognized it was an early access game in that statement and I recognize its doing well.. and I have even stated I will help the game if asked

And it is true the Devs are listening which is good. I am curious though if they have dedicated test teams. If they do, its not mentioned from what I have seen. Likely NDA if so (not unusual)

True the scaling doesnt matter right now but I was using it as an example of inbetween weapons.. hybrids is another term

[compact quail]

a survival game does not need to have a billion weapons that become the same because there are too many.
the current game has multiple builds that work differently and are distinctive enough

[vestal slate]

spear would be nice

[cosmic pier]

I didn't take it as harsh. I've seen other games with equal promise crash and burn. Its still possible. But it is dependent on how the devs handle things, and build on the current foundation.

[rugged magnet]

No but there is a fine balance between encouraging builds/play styles in a game and a list of weapons.. which is why I used the Fire Emblem example.. Because it handled the Hybrid weapons well but also because it wasnt overwhelming. Though the game itself wasnt overwhelming, they did take it a step further by introducing the combat wheel.. an ingame reference to let you know which weapons do best in X scenario

[elder vector]

Hi all, curious question: Is there a channel where I can give suggestions to add to the game?

[cosmic pier]

Heres and exmaple: Once Human. TREMENDOUS concept, amazing idea. Generational fumble. It may not actually be possible to have fumbled harder than they did.

[vestal slate]

their site has ideas section

[elder vector]

Oh! Gotcha, thank you so much!

[compact quail]

yeah sorry, your words lose me. a lot of them with little substance

[rugged magnet]

Not you, the comment above from Nyra. I have enjoyed our conversation so far. I responded to multiple people at once in that big message

And yes.. One of the mods said they deleted the Suggestions channel in Discord because people were repeating the same thing

[viscid violet]

pog. after a long struggle here we go

[cosmic pier]

risky risky. going with the glass cannon. I didn't dare go BB until the Frigate

[rugged magnet]

All I am saying.. is if they make little combat ships a thing for end game.. I am going to be that annoying full speed ship constantly lobbing shells until you get tired of me

[pure path]

How do i unlock the destillery for Alchemie lv 4 stuff i have every Region and killed every Boss but i dont know how to triggern the recipe to craft It

[quartz vine]

Where is Captain Hornigold

[cosmic pier]

hes on the actual Brethern Island, not to be confused with the people of Tortuga island, or Tortuga.

[rugged magnet]

I was about to insert a joke regarding rum but I was like.. that wont be helpful 😛

[vestal slate]

kinda wish there were more alone ships out to combat, everyone is always with full battalion of ships at ready

[quartz vine]

Im on the island but hes not here.

[viscid violet]

can u make AI like put them on a ship or is that only co-op?

[quartz vine]

Ok i found him buti ts not letting me complete the quest.

[rugged magnet]

Its part of why I hinted at small ships in that previous conversation.. in any game, the only way to encourage more play styles or builds is to have good variety.. and by good variety I mean carefully thought out stuff that has an impact in the game. Great example is an old MMO called DAOC. Armsman's wernt common but oh they were a nightmare in the PVP battles because of their halberds.. poke poke

[viscid violet]

bigs were historicly more glass cannon type ship whare frigates were mote of the tankier one

[cosmic pier]

I mean yes. But I mean even more so because you took the BB variant

[compact quail]

that is how blockades work usually
and its not an issue since you are so strong that you have no issues destroying multiple enemy ships alone

[vestal slate]

or if every enemy ship is a group of them let us recruit alliance ships to sail with you and partake

[viscid violet]

if you sink em they cant sink you

[vestal slate]

but its every inch of the sea like that

[compact quail]

you can absolutely avoid enemy ships and sail part them though

[cosmic pier]

but you have less HP than the Ketch, thats where I was like yikes

[vestal slate]

yeah but it would be nice to be able to pick out lone ships every now and then

[rugged magnet]

That is why small combat ships historically were hard to keep down.. they could out run the blockades or lob enough Grape Shot to cause crew injuries. A case of "throw crap at a wall until you get results"

[viscid violet]

i just want those 24 pound cannons

[cosmic pier]

To be fair thats not even the blockaid 😛
The real blockaid is the world border when you sail too far. You get sunk by Blackbeard

[compact quail]

but why. what advantage do you have from it
i mean you can even do it to a degree. kill one, sail away

[vestal slate]

it kinda just feels weird to have every enemy with full armada everywhere

[cosmic pier]

which is why your not outright wrong haha, it is what made me jump to BB on the Frigate. I figured 100k hp was enough and 36 pound cannons were too good to pass up.

[zealous cairn]

can somebody help me with getting the Rapier of a Thousand Cuts?

[vestal slate]

Wouldnt recommend, it trivializes the game, unless its your second run

[rugged magnet]

I am trying so hard to resist making jokes about Grape Shots and 24/36 pounder cannons.. oh the temptation

[zealous cairn]

is it that op?

[earnest heron]

until you get to the swamp yea

[compact quail]

https://klipy.com/gifs/confused-what-67--k01KRYFP4NKNCRJD96PB4P9JT81

[vestal slate]

yeah no boss or enemy can do anything about just kiting with dodges and bleeding them to death, and its not even slow

[cosmic pier]

Lets just say, without that blade. I still would maybe be throwing hands with....hands....

[rugged magnet]

DOT builds are a classic.. Even Dark Souls and Elden Ring had their fair share of those builds

[vestal slate]

think the problem is that the bleed ignores defences

[viscid violet]

im leaning full into glass cannon XD

[rugged magnet]

it probally does. nothing new there. Path of Exile had something similar.. with Chaos (an equivalent of Poison). you as the character could take a passive that made you immune to it

[cosmic pier]

Tempered is good though. I only use Perfectly ordered and devestating on my loadout because of the way the frigate is. Technically Tempered/Devestating is more damage but I like reload speed.

[rugged magnet]

think of the poor crew though.. trying to reload a 24 pounder faster 😛

[cosmic pier]

Do yourself a favor and get the keelhold though lol.

[cosmic pier]

24s? nah theyre loading 36s faster. Thats my whole second battery.

[vernal grotto]

what even is a weak spot on ships?

[vestal slate]

cabin

[cosmic pier]

Stern

[uneven seal]

The entire butt of the boat

[rugged magnet]

basically.. use the pounders on the booty.. and you will know why I am trying to resist making a joke right now

[viscid violet]

Quedtion fo u have to shoot exectly 6 sec after ot if u wait 15 min it still counts

[cosmic pier]

after you wait, the icon that lets you know its reloaded will be yellow colored to let you know you have an ehnahnced shot

[compact quail]

no it is quite a weak weapon that does pathetic damage
it just teaches you to be bad at the game because you don't have to have a combat flow and learning to block/parry/dodge, instead you hit some times and run away and play afk arena

[vernal grotto]

i would assume the weakspot would be the waterline, so water comes in through the new holes 🙂

[cosmic pier]

thats also the most reinforced spot.

[vestal slate]

yeah it does have alot lower base dmg

[rugged magnet]

ahaha.. oh you think thats bad? wait until you see Elden Ring.. there is a Shield that makes you invulnerble for 3 seconds and only costs 15 Mana equivalent

[compact quail]

no, it's the back of the ship

[vernal grotto]

can you reinforce with wood against cannons?

[vestal slate]

also chainshots have to just hit the sails anywhere

[viscid violet]

I think can be strong, have to grind tomorrow

[cosmic pier]

Yes. with more wood. Or take the approach of Old Ironsides

[compact quail]

no
buy a hull

[cosmic pier]

or did you mean in game? if you meant in game, thats sorta what the Hull upgrade is. But IRL yes, ship design reinforced areas where cannonfire was most likely to sink a ship (such as the waterline)

[vernal grotto]

not in game

[cosmic pier]

Old Ironsides just built their stuff out of old oak trees, wood was flexible but also extremely durable and cannonballs literally bounced right off.

[rugged magnet]

Fun fact.. the Spanish found a way to reinforce their forts using Coquina.. limestone of crushed sea shells and sand. it made their forts immune to Cannon fire from bombarding ships. One such example is in Florida

[bold obsidian]

Immune is a strong word. I'd say resistant. Sooner or later, any fixed fortification can be reduced to rubble with enough pounding.

[cosmic pier]

sure but they'd run out of cannonballs before that.

[timid mural]

Which purple cannons are the best for frigates?

[cosmic pier]

Are you looking for all around play style or do you want a delete stick?

[rugged magnet]

The one in Florida at least was.. Ships tried to bombard Castillo De San Marcos with no effect. I am sure the Spanish soldiers stationed there prolly were doing a Monty Python equivalent "I fart in your general direction"

[cosmic pier]

and then follow up quesiton, how good are you at hitting a ship with the entire volley?

[bold obsidian]

Be prepared for several different answers on that. I stand by devastating 24s and tempered 36s, but there are several configurations that are very good.

[rugged magnet]

Its personal preference like in most games yes

[untold oriole]

I went with perfectly ordered for all my cannons

[compact quail]

tempered are the best cannons objectively

[bold obsidian]

Perfectly fitting for the schnitzel-enjoyer.

[vestal slate]

hmm i tried at start going with reload speed but had to switch because the first ship couldnt sink anything properly with them

[twilit pivot]

devastating wins

[raven dagger]

in a game with combat this easy does it really matter?

[compact quail]

yes

[cosmic pier]

I run perfectly ordered 12 pounders. Smaller cannon naturally reloads faster, and I want to keep uptime on reload speed. These are not my damage dealers. I then run Devastating 36 Pounders for the second battery. That typically ensures the only thing floating are things that I permit to continue floating.

If you are REALLY trying to send a message. swap the 12's for 24 pounders and make them tempered. That is absolute maximum damage output wit that config.

[rugged magnet]

Ok here if it helps simplify it. 24 Pounders are the inbetween. They do more damage than the 12 but less than the 36. 36 has the highest alpha damage

12 pounders have the fastest reload. I even watched a test video on that.. someone got the reload down to I believe it was 8 or 9 seconds on their 12 pounders using Devastating and Perfectly Ordered

[cosmic pier]

but heres the fun part. That reload bonus applies to your other cannons as well

[raven dagger]

i just let people enjoy a game how they like seeing as it matters not about getting good at combat because its so easy no matter what style you choose, the parry window is so large its not skillful to use it anyway

[rugged magnet]

True but the point of the test was to determine DPS because the 12 pounders have a base reload speed that is faster than the 24 and 36.. so the idea was literally see if you can spam crap at a wall until it sticks

[vestal slate]

it isnt that easy to parry

[raven dagger]

it is

[cosmic pier]

True, perfectly ordered would tech probably top DPS, if there was a longer fight. I value having the alpha though. I want them gone on the first volley. I find that the 24s and Tempered are overkill though, and I'd rather have the reload speed for multi ship fights

[compact quail]

no buff from any other cannon in numbers can match +40% damage right off the bat + 20% weakpoint damage

[raven dagger]

you can parry almost continually which is silly and overpowered

[vestal slate]

but i dont have enough drugs for that

[cosmic pier]

for alpha? yes. 100% agree, but thats almost always overkill. I swap the tempered for the reload speed because I'm usually not only fighting one ship.

[rugged magnet]

It can go either way but I do hope going forward that there is more of an emphasis on allowing smaller cannons to have an impact on end game

[raven dagger]

so to judge people for not is equally as silly

[compact quail]

i also always thought parrying needs to use a ressource. stamina would be the most obvious one

[compact quail]

absolutely not if you play in endgame naval on hard

[raven dagger]

or at least a small cooldown

[cosmic pier]

I am lol the only thing I don't one shot is other Frigates

[compact quail]

nah, i'd hate a cooldown on parrying. u can't do anything about it yourself.

[vestal slate]

you could go to where the winds meet for that

dont think windrose is suppose to be that hardcore

[cosmic pier]

it involves a level of skill expression. therefore, there are people who want to be the best at it.

[vestal cypress]

Crazy that the shield around Tortuga functions as a building support huh? You can build something waaaaay up high on it!

[rugged magnet]

If it stays at PVE though, I doubt it will have much room for that. If it branches out to PVP later in its life, I can see that for sure

[cosmic pier]

"Governer I found a solution to deal with Blackbeard....though it may violate several laws of physics."

[vestal slate]

tho yeah ofc it could again be an option

[vestal cypress]

it's magic!

[rugged magnet]

The fall damage is going to suck though 😛

[vestal cypress]

immune to fall damage since birth 😉

[cosmic pier]

we don't believe in such things.

[rugged magnet]

oh right.. we wood leg it after doing stupid sh ***

[cosmic pier]

Only things I believe in can hurt me.

[compact quail]

the game will stay pve. it was stated numerous times

[vestal slate]

wonder if it lets you build higher than from the ground since it counts as ground

[vestal cypress]

I'm testing to see how high i can go, and if i can get on top of it

[rugged magnet]

Yes but some games who have stated that did change later in their life.. The original Division concept was to not do PVP then they did by adding Dark Zones

[ocean meteor]

When it comes to server hosting, I want to host a 100 player server. NA east. But I would also like to collaborate with someone who also has the frameworks for how it should be managed. I will be doing this on the first of June.

[cosmic pier]

I have a sneaking suspicion theres a way to clip through that....

[vestal cypress]

I will try 😁

[vestal slate]

Jiroc will become the blackbeard <u<

[raven dagger]

thats my point with the bleed rapier...

[cosmic pier]

I'm thinking finding some way to wedge yourself under a pier, and force it to eject you to the nearest surface.

[vestal slate]

ouh but my point is that bleed rapier does just make it so you could just console command kill bosses, or play on easy

[vestal cypress]

I tried all the chair tricks from Valheim that allow you to clip into trees, rocks etc. No luck with that in Windrose.

[cosmic pier]

Where theres a will XD

[olive canyon]

• I believe you can, I remember a screenie of someone standing in the air over Tortuga
• if you drop along the wall now, you'll probably "dive" far enough underwater to swim under the barrier - it doesnt go all the way down

[steady crater]

just took 132 gold coins and 2000 silver wanted to fast travel to tortuga to buy some stuff and game freeze.... i restart game and I dont have this money anymore...

[compact quail]

well, you can feel save. the game will stay pve only for atleast 2.5 years.

[raven dagger]

kind of feel the same with high damage builds that clear enemies so fast, its a chill combat game so who cares in the end

[steady crater]

anyone had similar issue

[olive canyon]

no - at worst your money should/will be in the old container rather than your inventory

[vestal slate]

yeah its their game, it just has risk of making them not really wanna do the boss second time

[rugged magnet]

I guess we will see but I will say in general (not Wind Rose specific).. there would be a market for a Pirate age style PVP game

[orchid obsidian]

so am guessing Windrose is not good for someone who is looking for an experience that is more about attacking merchant vessels and selling off their goods ?

If not any recommendations ?

[steady crater]

unfortuynately there are no money in old container just dissapear ...

[olive canyon]

I mean, if you're willing to attack Blackbeard ships instead of Merchant vessels, then it exactly what you're looking for

[compact quail]

there literally is one

[rugged magnet]

one yes.. I am saying there is a market because competition is good for everyone.. and so far not much competition in that area of the game world

[vestal slate]

and they do have transport ships

[cosmic pier]

Brigs are technically transport ships.

[rugged magnet]

all I am saying is if you are a pro Loot Goblin/Pack Rat.. you will make anything work 😛

[gloomy canyon]

man i need to find a pvp server

[vestal cypress]

oh oh, clipped stair pieces too far into shield. cant target to break. lol

[compact quail]

no

[tame crypt]

Windrose keeps crashing in mid load

Im playing on my steam deck

[orchid obsidian]

So what I am hearing is not exactly what I am looking for ? but workable ?
Stalward's answer didn't really help much besides a firm no in their opinion

[vestal slate]

I do think windrose would do well with having dark souls like invader mechanic but with the ships instead and invading their worlds for some specified amount of coin if succeeding and ofc needing to enable it.

[somber osprey]

there isn't really a huge pirate market. Ac4 remake/base ac4 is the most obvious. I wouldnt doubt there's some obscure game that fits the niche that I just dont know about

[olive canyon]

if you want ship to ship combat, followed by boarding, which gives you loot that you can then sail to vendors to sell - Windrose works
if you're needing it to be Merchants you're robbing, thats not the case here (yet at least)

[compact quail]

its valheim with pirates and you shoot other pirate ships

[somber osprey]

download Legend of Pirates Online or smthn

[rugged magnet]

I guess that could work but I was originally thinking Division style. Or DAOC.. Both DAOC and Division had an entire area dedicated to PVP. For Division that was the Dark Zone. For DAOC that was literally the Battlefield. DAOC was the first "Realm vs Realm" styled PVP for games (100+ player combat)

[compact quail]

you all can be sure that windrose will not have pvp stuff for the forseeable time because the griefing will be insane
there was a griefing wave with hacks already in pve.
and the game is 0% optimized for any pvp

[orchid obsidian]

Legitimately is on my list but Windrose just looks better even though I have seen the ship combat doesn't really play how I would like it to

there is always gonna be concessions to make

[rose lynx]

Private server FTW. Never have that issue

[compact quail]

people literally griefed on private servers

[rose lynx]

Not when it's locked with a pwd

[vestal slate]

can you not just close off spawn?

[compact quail]

people literally griefed on private password locked servers.

[somber osprey]

I mean if you like survival games in a pirate setting- as Stal said Valheim but pirates- then this is a game you'll like. We might get that merchant interaction in the future but that's at least six months from now and there's no gurantee

[manic prairie]

oh what about the AAAA game Skull and Bones? 🫪

[rugged magnet]

to add: Wind Rose future is looking good though for a lot of reasons. One being that Skill and a few of the other major Youtube channels who review or discuss games, have mentioned Wind Rose

[noble raft]

anyone else find it annoying that when you open the map while turning the ship, exiting the map makes it like you're not holding the turn button, until you release and re-press it?

[orchid obsidian]

I mean am not a big fan of survival games but

Sea Of Thieves is mostly a 'fantasy of piracy'
World of Sea Battle is... World of Sea Battle it is a P2W shitfest with many underbaked mechanics

[noble raft]

so many times I've been like "why am I turning so slowly" only to find I'm not turning

[rugged magnet]

when isnt games these days? got to have those Gatcha rolls for the money heh

[orchid obsidian]

Ahoy! is unreleased and very very far

[vestal slate]

ouh you can actually just sink ships and sell goods and use the coin to buy most of the resources apart from the final swamp zone materials

[somber osprey]

I mean it's survival lite is how I'd put it. There's base building & food but you wont die if you dont eat. It just buffs and gives you health, which gives you an incentive to eat... a little too much given the health difference with/without eating.

[compact quail]

well then you won't like this survival game tbh
again, its valheim with pirates

[vestal cypress]

Yep, you can run along top of the shield of Tortuga, lol

[somber osprey]

It's a bird, a tiny cloud! No! It's a pirate!

[orchid obsidian]

I was just kinda hoping "valheim with pirates" was an oversimplification from people

[compact quail]

please build a city ontop of it and when the update hits where you can get rid of it, ur city explodes

[vestal slate]

thought it would have been straight wall x3

[rugged magnet]

but being that high up means a journey to the brothel and rum 😛

[raven dagger]

survival game first and foremost, one could argue you spend most your time on land

[compact quail]

no, the games base is literally a valheim clone
with some qol
naval ship dogfights
and "what mechanics in valheim are tedious arse and we make them not tedious"

[vestal slate]

dont really have to

[orchid obsidian]

Well cheers everyone thanks for the help

[vestal cypress]

Flat on top apparently.

[somber osprey]

"Oh boy cant wait to log in with this update lag machine"

[olive canyon]

I'm generally not a "Survival Games" person either - but Windrose has enough going on to justify that aspect of itself, imo
and if you disagree, you can always just download one of those "this world has everything" saves so that you can get right into the ship combat - the rest of the game will always be waiting if you want to start a new character/world and experience it as intended

[vestal slate]

damm not even curved, thats prime real estate x3

[compact quail]

what do you want to do not on land if it were your focus.

[vestal cypress]

Floating Tortuga base? lol

[rugged magnet]

I am not saying Wind Rose specifically but its fairly rare now that you see games with creativity or something unique. Great example to show where I am going for that.. One game I was really hoping would live was The Mean Greens Plastic Warfare. Some brilliant dev got the idea to take the classic Army Toy, turn into a PVP game AND theme the maps around Toy land

Legit one of the PVP maps is where you spawn in a Bath Tub and have to fight for a Flag that is on a Rubber Ducky.. that is consntatly moving

[severe breach]

-What a big parrot!
-I said pirate, not parrot!

[compact quail]

did you try to buy it, play for 1-2 hrs and if you hate it, refund?

[vestal slate]

yeah the merchants let you get most of materials by just going around sinking ships

[olive canyon]

they dipped 😔

[grizzled oriole]

yh

[somber osprey]

Dang I was gonna recommend they keep an eye on it cause it could be closer to what they want in later dev cycles.

[compact quail]

https://klipy.com/gifs/wack-hannibal-1--k01KRYJRAQH1FT417ATZ8PT9NHW

[raven dagger]

"one could argue"

[compact quail]

i absolutely disagree, but i also only played the game for about 120 hrs

[fathom stream]

Are there any Asian people playing in this Asian region?

[vestal cypress]

The island mountain is taller than the shield, so you can get onto the mountain in tortuga and defog the island... lol

[vestal slate]

arent the only ones ores and swamp stuff? though yeah you do not level without exploring the POIs

[compact quail]

#1493029476970270740

[fathom stream]

there r notinh

[compact quail]

filter for the asian flags

[fathom stream]

yea i did but no post

[compact quail]

then noone exists

[manic prairie]

you could make a post

[near zodiac]

basically everything that grinds my gears while playing Vahleim, it has been "fixed" or changed in Windrose.

1 thing that infuriates me the most in Valheim is farming. When you accidentally plant stuff too close to each other, they die and you waste time and resources. Here you can't plant too close, so you can plant stuff without worrying about that.

[fathom stream]

how?

[vestal cypress]

we just need signs we can label...

[strange marsh]

Finished the game after 40 hours and maxed out after 46 honestly a fantastic game I’m still loving it

[vestal slate]

they should let you plant more than 1 in a grid tho

[inland wave]

racist...

[near zodiac]

If you mean that mod, yea. I cannot play Valheim without a mod to fix farming. I had multiple incidents of me considering quitting valheim because of farming, but those mods prevented that.

The problem is though, when game updates there is usually a period of time when they are not updated

[vestal slate]

though not that valheim ever updates until century later

[near zodiac]

Yea... but that's most likely the only time I'll play again. Every time it updates, I return... and then deal with that farming crap again.

[vestal slate]

you can mod it pretty fun tho, so many replayability mods, biggest problem kinda is the lag if you build or tame anything too much.
lowkey optimized Valheim would go so hard.

[rugged magnet]

All I am saying.. is no one can top Satisfactory in the annoying department.. try to figure out which coveyor belts go where in this cursed build lol

[near zodiac]

[inland wave]

@fleet ruin you racist

[rocky cloak]

One more entry for Wellerman added to their submission pile

[rugged magnet]

Lol.. happens in satisfactory.. cursed builds are very common due to how confusing the game is

[rancid sierra]

Satisfactory... Yeah...
"It was at this point that Waffelmeister gave up."
I had spaghet that would intersect and cross over and weave because I simply gave up on cable management and did the bare minimum to make it work.

[rugged magnet]

AHaha.. there is a reason the meme is "Its more about managing chaos than it is managing a corporation".. because it require so much building

[near zodiac]

Surely cables work basically the same way as guts, just yeet them in and they'll arrange themselves eventually in all that chaos

[rugged magnet]

lol and that logic right there is why there are entire Sub Reddits dedicated to Satisfactory cursed builds

[bold obsidian]

Power just works, a few poles here, a few poles there, a few poles stretching all the way across the map....

All mk1, of course.

[rugged magnet]

in one of the cursed builds.. they had 24 train tracks going in different directions because they built on one side of the map, forgot about it, built another..

[crystal charm]

I modified my fire at one of my camps and when I destroyed the bonfire dr galen disappeared, I put the new one in and invited him back...but he is nowhere to be seen at my base...any suggestions on how to fix it?

[vestal cypress]

break bonfire, rebuild. invite him

I did it! I'm inside the ghost wall on Tortuga Island! Guess I'm ghost now too....

There's no hit box on the buildings, lol

[drowsy sand]

@crystal charm I had to invite him, kick him, and invite him back until he returned for me. after I destroyed my bonfire and rebuilt it

[vestal cypress]

Fast travel to Tortuga Ghost Town!

[vestal slate]

So does it not cover the middle or something? owo

[crystal charm]

I broke the camp, raised my little hole I dug for my fire and filled it in, built a new fire on the ground in the open and invited him and he is now here

[compact quail]

dont have ur bonfire in some backasswards spot not on open ground

[rugged magnet]

I am just happy the building in this game works.. as seen by my example it could always be worse heh

And for whatever reason, when I read that.. I immediately thought of "Diggy Diggy Hole"

[drowsy sand]

He might be in the hole. I put my bonfire on the roof with no access and he kept spawning on my roof

[crystal charm]

My ship marooned itself on some rocks

[near zodiac]

would be actually pretty awsome to find a way to trap Galen in a basement with that bonfire, and never hear of him again. That teaches to not steal my bed

[granite zodiac]

Did you end up like this guy?

[near zodiac]

https://tenor.com/view/francois-expedition-33-clair-obscur-get-off-my-lawn-gif-4468251435311720235

[drowsy sand]

build a basement, place the bonfire there without stairs leading up, and cover

[near zodiac]

hmm... oh just now got an idea. Is there any floor/roof tile that works as metal bars?

[vestal slate]

the wooden stick pillars could make that x3

[drowsy sand]

check out the creative tab and a picture that was posted like 40 mins ago

[near zodiac]

Meant like, bars to top of the ceiling to let in some sunlight, just to remind what it feels like to be outside from that cozy basement. But it's good to know that it's possible to make prison cell looking structures

[vestal slate]

yeah those stick pillars are in both vertical and horizontal shapes and every other way too

[drowsy sand]

the horizontal pillars should still work

[near zodiac]

oh forgot that

there's so much stuff that can be used.

[vestal slate]

yeah the whole Pillars page is so usefull

[cosmic pier]

Theres a way.

[vestal cypress]

May be a video coming soon too 😉

[vestal slate]

This game is so gonna pop off whenever they let us copy builds

[drowsy sand]

when you guys do big builds. do you move your bonfire and storage as you build?

[cosmic pier]

until they make him the quest npc to start the ashlands stuff.

[orchid zealot]

Been playing with my 3 friends in Multiplayer. Any plans for multiplayer resource balancing? currently, its wholly unachievable for 4 players to each build a brig, not to mention each player being expected to buy the blueprints at 1000 gold each?

[cosmic pier]

farm worlds

[near zodiac]

I've solo farmed 3 brigs and 3 frigates for myself

[drowsy sand]

it does get easier, but we would focus build 1 guy when we got to the next tier

[near zodiac]

all fully decked with level 15 gear too for good measure... so I'd say it's doable

[proper prism]

the hardest part about crafting the frigate was the flax fiber but after 100 plants and 2 merchant shipments it was easy

[cosmic pier]

but also you can just create a dummy world destroy it by leveling every tree in sight, collect all the resources and go back to your main world, untouched and not deforested.

[drowsy sand]

merchants are huge. especially if you are sailing around farming silver from pirates

[orchid zealot]

its kind of silly for a player to have to make multiple worlds to progress in 1 world

[near zodiac]

merchants are brilliant addition, gives another reason to continue plundering ships

[cosmic pier]

you don't have to.

[vestal cypress]

Never have I ever.

[vestal slate]

arent the sailing loot beacons best source of wood anymore?

[orchid zealot]

if there are 4 people playing, any time someone learns a blueprint it should be shared automatically. pretty easy fix

[drowsy sand]

the game is designed to be somewhat grindy. but there are work arounds

[cosmic pier]

not for hardwood

[drowsy sand]

it was for me until I got the merchant

[vestal slate]

ouh just buy the hardwood

[vestal cypress]

hardwood is soooo easy to obtain. the trees regrow

[cosmic pier]

right but hes building the brig. so assume early T2. He can't buy it yet.

[vestal slate]

yeah but trees give such miniscule amount its not worth it

[near zodiac]

I'm thinking of creating a permanent (massive) merchant market place in one of those locations I wish to retain access to no matter what. Probably to the swamp on that island with 2 mines and massive temple for powder

[vestal cypress]

it's totally worth it. i have plenty of hardwood for the 3 of us on our server. and we just farm it once in a while

[orchid zealot]

i understand the game is meant to be grindy but there should be resource gather tweakers similar to palworld to make it easier if players wish

[drowsy sand]

there are mods that do that very thing

[vestal cypress]

there is, you can buy resources instead of grind. just kill 2nd boss

[vestal slate]

well there is tree planting but it doesnt work atm giving only 1 wood

[near zodiac]

I think I saw them mention it's intended to give only 1, so probably not changing

[cosmic pier]

that said everyone on our server got a ketch, brig, and frigate, and there were like 4 of us. Pleanty of trees and environment left to get more too. And silver dubloons become easy as heck to get the more you progress

[vestal slate]

huh? that seems a bit ridiculous

[near zodiac]

they're meant to be decorations, and I never have enough of them...

[vestal slate]

then dont make them give any

[crystal charm]

Nah...but daymn 😂

[compact quail]

why. replanting trees is 0 ressources spent.

[cosmic pier]

time is a resource.

[drowsy sand]

is it a game mechanic? when I take damage as I drink a potion I don't get healed and still have to wait until the potion timer runs until I can consume another potion?

[near zodiac]

1 would make a lot more sense if tree seeds weren't so rare

[vestal slate]

yeah the farming is literally just using same amount of seeds you have to wait the growth time for resources

[compact quail]

no. whenever i drink a potion, it heals me.

[vestal slate]

no, there isnt any reason for them to give 1 wood, seed back yes but not the resource if its not a resource.
that just makes every new player think its broken, expecially having them be in the farming section.

[cosmic pier]

you can also spend half the time on the sea, blow up a ship and get silver coins, then buy wood and get like a 1000x return vs 1 piece of wood.

[near zodiac]

and spend 100 hours looking for that 1 seed first

[proper prism]

i dont understand which ships drop which coins. i beat a level 10 with 9 enemies to kill on board i think and it gave like 290 coins and then i did a level 12 and it was 10 people to kill and i only got like 20 coins

[compact quail]

i read it the first time that someone new asked if 1 wood is a bug in here. and i sit here daily since before the early access came out 🤷🏻‍♂️

[near zodiac]

only board those yellow loot ships

[compact quail]

cargo ships have a cargo symbol

[proper prism]

ohhh

[urban pier]

Yea you want the crate ships

[near zodiac]

massive waste of time to board anything else

[vestal slate]

yea why ask when it seems so obvious, also they literally have a cosmetics part to place them in

[proper prism]

ok thanks pals

[urban pier]

I just speed kill the raider ships, when they sink they at least drop the repair kits

[signal needle]

I'm just gonna interject here with a question completely unrelated to what is being discussed here, but I saw this in patch notes. Is it now, for the lack of a better word, "safe" to play?

[compact quail]

that is aconvenient way to think
could say: noone thinks it is a bug because its obvious it isn't

[compact quail]

always was.

[vestal slate]

it is just bad game design no matter what

[urban pier]

the game was writing saves at a ridiculous rate it was wearing out SSDs, it's better now, but I think they should let us save our own games.

[signal needle]

Thanks!

[urban pier]

it really is a thousand time better, but still could be better

I wish I could play but I am dealing with UE Fatal Crash bug

[near zodiac]

well, lets just say there is a reason why most games only auto save every 5, 10 or 15 minutes, and an extra autosave when closing the game/server

[urban pier]

I hope it doesn't takes months to release a maintenance patch

[graceful sand]

Question: Has anyone suggested to the devs to add buildable cleats/mooring lines for player built piers?
Similar to boarding ships, you could pull up next to the pier and hit spacebar to attach/detach from the pier.

Would be a pretty cool ascetics thing.
I dont see a suggestions chat so I put this here.

[urban pier]

Content patch I understand, that can and will take months, but a maintenance patch is the difference between people playing and not playing.

[vestal slate]

there is ideas page at their site, not sure but would be pretty cool

[graceful sand]

😮 ill take a look. ty

[errant cedar]

Please make large exotic birds that you can ride/put in pens and breed to create better versions of them.

[vestal slate]

np, and also i did notice that wharf does summon the ship behind it usually, so it is somewhat possible to make proper docks.

[proper prism]

no! no bird riding!

big exotic birds would be really cool though

[urban pier]

I dislike crocodiles

[errant cedar]

Trust... Imagine being able to breed them for stronger legs to run faster or stronger wings to fly with

[vestal slate]

Atlas actually had emus :3

[urban pier]

raising chicken for eggs, make pirate omelets

[drowsy sand]

Anyone have a way to remove the fog of war enough to show the islands but not what's on the island.

[fringe bone]

Yes, quite a number of folk have suggested it. There is a suggestions page where it's been posted.

[proper prism]

this game needs dolphin mounts

[drowsy sand]

the jet skis of the Carribean

[proper prism]

jk

[vestal slate]

i do know u could hide all POIs from map and maybe use mod to clear the fog.

[hybrid jolt]

how tf am i supposed to kill Thomas Richards

[errant cedar]

Also improved fishing mechanics like a mini game to catch better fish and a much larger variety of fish depending on water depth, environment, tackle, rods, hooks, nets, etc.

[proper prism]

or just fish traps

[urban pier]

potions, bandages, note the timing, if all fails look for more treasure to level up.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dU8VPQsTqFU

[errant cedar]

If the bird mounts/farm and the improved fishing gets added to the game I will be happy.

[vestal slate]

Fishing ships would be nice

[high roost]

is there a way to let people join your world without them being able to edit things? Dont trust the boys lol

[errant cedar]

Does anyone know any content that is definitely being added in the future?

[urban pier]

you trust.... Pirates....?

[compact quail]

how is "you get 1 wood for free" bad game design?

[vestal slate]

might be able to backup save but otherwise probably no

[high roost]

no, thats my point

[compact quail]

yes. play with people you trust.
past that? no
game was made to play with friends.

[vestal slate]

its just misleading and unclear on them not being farmable trees

[urban pier]

have them abide by pirate code first

[high roost]

yeah we have known ech other for 20+ years, but i just know they will casually break stuff without me noticing lmao , years of me "accidentally" punting them off maps will do that

[compact quail]

how is it misleading???
my dude, i think you just argue about the tree thing for the sake of it
when u get the first one u plant it and u see it doesn't even need to be chopped, you instantly understand its a decorative plant

[compact quail]

have you ever seen the clockwork orange?...

[cosmic pier]

The notion that it was writing at 50g/hr was rediculous. But it was still higher than it should have been. The resource the report was done with was using a tool that also measures RAM writing, which does write at high volumes like that. It wasn't dangerous before, but was higher than it should be been. Its even better after this patch.

[vestal slate]

i mean the other actually farmable trees you just harvest and they disappear fully too, worst is probably the coconut trees when you actually would want to farm them but cant

[urban pier]

https://youtu.be/xQBGmBOhQEE?si=_rX1tfjxBuQTlBwh

[restive wadi]

If one would want to make a suggestion for types of placeables, where would I do that?

[vestal slate]

their website has ideas page

[compact quail]

u don't need coconuts like... when ur enter the second biome or the third one 100%

you obviously have kind friends 😉 we have spent too many years trolling eac other for me to trust them to enjoy the view lol

The boars teach you if you listen. Getting the drowned sometimes Ill do 3 was what had me for a minute.

[stone totem]

So is it just at the start where you are learning that when you logout all your campfire and stuff is gone? And also when you die all the looted stuff is gone

[deep rampart]

I have not experienced anything going missing

[pale vault]

? Nothing should be gone

[next plume]

ya i dont think i ever had stuff go poof like that

regular boars I picked up blocking pretty quick, but the savage boars kinda lit me tf up when they did they wiggin out belly flops.

[pale vault]

I call it the stay humble barrel

[fringe bone]

Finally built my frigate - Blackbeard model. She's named Invictus, after the Henley poem of the same name.

[stone totem]

It’s at the very beginning and when I am supposed to kill the boar the only thing I have is my sword and pistol

Nice ship

[pale vault]

It's a little slow to start. Youll find a copper mine on your first island, make the stone pick axe and start unloading it, it will refill every 6 hours whether the game is on or not.

[frank quiver]

mine is a brethren Frigate named "Vandal Heart"

[knotty harness]

Oh, so that's the Cthulu head people say is so difficult to aim around

[next plume]

Frigate is so nice, man. I've only built one of those and I had to see what the Brigadine was about. They're kinda cool too. Real fast, but def not the firepower like the frigate.

[knotty harness]

I see it also has a sculpture of a Ship's Cat

[pale vault]

Make a shovel and look for a tent there too itll have a rare sword to dig for

[knotty harness]

That's not how treasure chests work anymore; that first chest can contain anything

[pale vault]

Ah dang, so it's not razor or thousand anymore?

[knotty harness]

It can contain those but it can also just be other stuff

[next plume]

dawg i thought maybe my map was bugged, but literally the last final chest I opened on my map had that drake pistol in it that I kept seeing ppl talk about. Windrose rly said patience my son

[pale vault]

Dragonsbreath did that to me

[frank quiver]

that's me and the fish

[pale vault]

Still haven't gotten that blasted smasher

[next plume]

Oh man the fish i just got that one too lmao. Didn't even kno that was a thing tbh so I was all shocked when I got it.

[vestal slate]

even with the ring upgraded?

[pale vault]

But my second base is getting a barrel full of fish.

[slow skiff]

Why can't we grow the healing herbs or misty orchids Q_Q

[frank quiver]

can't get the ring till you get the Barracuda. which is the weapon, which is eluding me... haha

[pale vault]

POI and swamp is a common drop

[vestal slate]

nah barracuda is just deep water fish

[next plume]

Is it the mackerel that's the rarest one?

[pale vault]

Barracuda and smasher are different, mackerel and Barracuda should be samish rarity

[vestal slate]

may wanna build out to the sea and fish there, its actually easy to see the splash if you build a bit higher up to fish from

[fringe bone]

I guess I get to find out just how hard that is at first hand now. 😄

[pale vault]

It doesn't matter though unless they fixed it today it's borked. Smashed is just a very low chance each cast

[knotty harness]

Yep
Meanwhile the sword-lady on my Brethren Frigate isn't even a problem

[crystal charm]

Galen is now stuck cause his puny brain can't figure out i have stone stairs near where he is 🤣

[fringe bone]

It was a choice between Brethren or Blackbeard for me, but the superior firepower won out.

[frank quiver]

My dock goes into 'red territory' water. Should be deep enough

[next plume]

Man I wish there was an upgrade for the proximity size of your camp fire. Or a way to customize where your borders are.

[vestal slate]

wish you could make it into a square

[compact quail]

modor have multiple ones

[next plume]

I tried to be cute with where I put the fire too, but too cute and buddy Galen either wont spawn back or stands in place forever.

[pale vault]

The signal fire not increasing it was a miss.

[next plume]

This tbh. Tbh I don't even know what the point of that fire is. Is there one? I jokingly built a super tall tower and put one of those fires at the top and it was kinda cool being able to see it from across the water on other islands, but I mean that's all it does currently is shine bright yea?

[compact quail]

the point is... it may sound funny. but exactly what a point of a signal fire is irl
see it from afar

[next plume]

Fair enough, but damn only 3 you can build?

u don't need to see that much from afar

[ebon crest]

Can Boarding party Gear be better than this? Or any plans in future for better upgrades besides ranks? Anyone knows?

[compact quail]

no

[ebon crest]

Ah ok cheers m8

[south portal]

15 is max for all atm

[slow skiff]

plague hunters hit way too hard even at equal level

[compact quail]

pretty sure he means blue or purple one

[frank quiver]

would be nice to get "blue" boarding parties with specialized abilities.... think like "Marines" or something.

[slow skiff]

probably something like that being planned since we don't have legendary versions of boarding party equipment

[compact quail]

shoot them

[slow skiff]

thats as helpful as 'don't get hit'

[frank quiver]

tbf... we don't have anything legendary at the moment. It's all just epic

[slow skiff]

i'm not struggling with them though, they just deal a lot of damage compared to everything else

[slow skiff]

Semantics.

[compact quail]

https://klipy.com/gifs/my-man-rick-and-morty-2--k01KRYTW31QX2YZZ5AHSD4ZJ2G8

[frank quiver]

eh... not really. I would imagine actual legendaries would likely be absolutely busted

[slow skiff]

I wouldn't have an issue with them if they didn't attack faster than the marksman guys

[ebon crest]

im assuming ledgendary will be gold like the ensigns

[slow skiff]

and they are also far more numerous than marksman units too

[compact quail]

also the third not the second biome, so a spike in difficulty makes sense

[slow skiff]

They're not in the game yet. You know what i meant, Semantics.

[slow skiff]

Yes but they do as much damage as a musket and when your'e regularly running into two of them with two melees in front it one top of them attacking faster makes getting off anything past one hit so risky it ruins the fun.

[compact quail]

you have multiple ways to counter them. idk what you want to hear.

[ebon crest]

boomstick all!

[slow skiff]

they just need to attack a little slower or hit less hard. all i'm saying. Also you did nothing but say 'attack them', which doesn't really include 'multiple ways' otehr than just 'not getting hit' which is why you end up dodging every second against them

Ive beaten the third zone twice. All the other enemies are neat and interesting. the plague hunters are just a bit too much

[south portal]

you think thats hard. try fighting 2 hunters with 2 witches coming at you with their stupid totems

[untold oriole]

lighthouse 2.0

[slow skiff]

I had worse, Warrior + 2 hunters + 1 starred hunter + 1 2 star hunter

EVERYONE! "DREADMOOR" Playtest now open on steam, for all fans of lovercraftian horror or game "DREDGE", sea fishering horrors 🙂

[slow skiff]

Umm should @ mods on this?

[worthy ingot]

Do we get access to a blue boarding party any time close to early-mid game? I have a lvl 10 brig but still green boarding party :/

[olive ermine]

its a horror fishing game, adjescent to WR... why would u mod my message 😄

[slow skiff]

it straight up felt like a bot spam

[mighty burrow]

How in the world do I beat richard

[unreal valve]

run alot

[olive ermine]

nah just giving out info lol, I do it all the time.

[slow skiff]

Is that the first or second guy

[vestal slate]

pretty sure plague hunter projectiles themselves just aim bot track into you no matter what.

[weary verge]

Fishing is fantastic! thanks for adding that feature!

[mighty burrow]

First

[ionic tapir]

parry is what i done

[slow skiff]

Its not aimbot, they just have much thicker hitboxes than bullets

[worthy ingot]

Anyone on this question please?

[ionic tapir]

i think only green for now @worthy ingot

[worthy ingot]

Even towards mid to end game?

[ionic tapir]

sadly yes

[worthy ingot]

wew, thank you

[mighty burrow]

How doni parry lmao I look at nothing yet lol

I got blue 180 attack halberd but too slow

[south portal]

dodge>parry

[ionic tapir]

mmm going 2 handed i see. I struggled with that. i swapped to Rapiers

[granite zodiac]

There technically is no actually parry . You can achieve a perfect block except with the halberds. Just press the block button right as the enemy is going to hit you

[ebon crest]

i want epic durag

[south portal]

trust me. get good at dodging before last boss xD

[ionic tapir]

https://tenor.com/view/stewie-rocking-shocked-trauma-family-guy-gif-3629549

[compact quail]

no, i did more than that
attacking the ranged enemies from range is the literal tactic against them since they are so squishy

[lunar vine]

practice and learning is important for bosses. What was reccomended to me is to empty your inventory of anything you drop when you die, set a nearby spawn point or spawn point near a bell so you can fast travel to the boss bell, and then just repeatedly go fight him wihtout using any buffs/heals, and die over and over until you can react well enough to last through most of the fight without dying. Then, equip your buffs, and clean the floor with him.

Worked for me on both bosses ive taken on so far.

[granite zodiac]

Honestly last boss was cheeks. I beat him first try using nothing but dragons breath

[ionic tapir]

feel that firearms is best way beating the boss

[compact quail]

beaten priestess on hard with two handed weapon

[rocky charm]

Dodge 'n parry and getting his attack pattern helps a lot. May take trial and error (you will die a lot.)

[ebon crest]

run and gun thats what i did on all of them

[granite zodiac]

Richards and Hands I used Rapier of a thousand cuts. Priestess was only one I used a gun

[ebon crest]

richards went down in like 10 shots i still had half powder left

[south portal]

im not good with guns. so i had to get good with swords and dodging. only time i had to actually use guns was last boss

[ebon crest]

its hard to miss with dragons breath, even boarding actions, run up the bowsprit and stand there shooting.

[south portal]

THE POWER OF GREY SKULLLLLL

Random question, but are we goona have to wait 6 months for any meaningful content drops?

[compact quail]

yes

[cinder canyon]

[subtle blade]

Five months at this point basically

[digital spindle]

Sept wooo

[cloud vessel]

how to fix this ?

[vestal cypress]

restart game

[digital spindle]

Yea just restart

[cloud vessel]

does it have any fix other than that?

[vestal cypress]

it's a program crash. only thing you can do is restart

[cloud vessel]

ty guys

Kachow

[sharp horizon]

quagmire powder is the most annoying thing to farm

[bitter ore]

anyone available to help kill the final boss

[olive ermine]

will be purchasable after ashlands come so its meh

[digital spindle]

Naur

[sharp horizon]

also i just realized Quagmire Powder is not in my Discovery tab but unlike Coal it's not produced so why is it not a discovery then.

[digital spindle]

Did u kill second boss

Gotta kill second boss and then u can start discovering swamp items

[crisp fractal]

hey, can someone help me with farming? can seedbeds have a roof over them and continue to grow?

[digital spindle]

I would believe so

[crisp fractal]

Okay good, was thinking about it and thought maybe I could make a farming skyscraper or something

[sharp horizon]

rofl i know but it's not in there

[worthy ingot]

What happens if I attack these two? Do I loose reputation? OR even become a permanent enemy?

[crisp fractal]

I figured someone would reply to what I just said and validate me D: oh well

[sharp horizon]

can't answer cause i never tested that.

[frank quiver]

fair... I keep forgetting about that, it's still not an upgradable equippable.

[frank quiver]

same thing as if an enemy ship hits another enemy ship... absolutely nothing

[compact quail]

try it

[mystic jackal]

how did the tower farm turn out?

[crisp fractal]

it's gonna need some time to set up, i'm working on getting my frigate up and running right now(although this means i'm 187 on flax fiber =/)

[primal ether]

I've tried. You can't damage them at all, your cannon shots will simply pass through.

[worthy ingot]

Thank you

[urban pier]

I haven't played this game since patch, I am so frustrated that the new patch today didn't solve the UE Fatal Crash issue.

[shut cairn]

Man I hope they add bones in the ocean as a shanty

[blazing ginkgo]

I could see a Windrose game Achievement being X Marks the Spot for burying a full Pirate Chest.

[worthy ingot]

great... it took about 30 minutes to kill my first lvl 10 hauler and now my crew is all trying to get to the tip of my own boat instead of boarding

[proper prism]

does this game need underwater swimming and then underwater spear fishing and then underwater sunken ship searching for treasure and then underwater fighting octopus

[barren latch]

https://tenor.com/view/elden-ring-let-me-solo-her-dodge-gif-3216702637006052018

Time to solo this

[worthy ingot]

in lvl 5 gear? no ty

[worthy ingot]

fack this hurts my will to play, i'm out for now

[barren latch]

Better winds will blow your sails tomorrow, rest for now

[blazing ginkgo]

I think for Collections, have a Weapons and Armor Collection to let us track was gear we've acquired for maybe a Unique Torso or Hat for Armor and a Unique Weapons for the Weapon collection. maybe have it be a redeemable token at Tortuga. We get to select between a Halberd, Two-Handed Sword, Rapier, or Saber.

[compact quail]

called weapon and armor workbench

[digital spindle]

Im sleeepy

[digital spindle]

Lol

[stoic tree]

Why must armor always look so cool in the item icon, but then gets feminized when i actually put it on my character? I wanna be a masc lady, dangit! Poofy shoulders are NOT fitting the vibe!

[compact quail]

play a man

[pale vault]

Yes.

[stoic tree]

Dont wanna play a man.

[stone igloo]

do you feel bonita?

[shut cairn]

If you bring a friend with you and tell them to stay alive on your boat the boarding won’t reset if you die

[uncut gyro]

I can hear this image
what a game, I should see if my NES is still workin' 😄

[pale vault]

it's a shame it never got a second chance

[uncut gyro]

What, the NES or Startropics? I'm 99% certain there was a second one of both 😄

[urban pier]

Star Tropics had a sequel, Zoda's Revenge.
I have both Star Tropics game for NES

[pale vault]

after Zoda's Revenge they never went back to it

even Ice Climbers made it into Smash

[urban pier]

oh you mean the characters

Was the alien that talking to Mike a girl or boy?

[uncut gyro]

between the yo-yo and the baseball bat, he'd be Ness' brother XD

[urban pier]

The music in both games was good tho

[warped fossil]

Iam stuck on laoding screen when iam update patch wth 🥲

[silver glade]

so i quite like the halberg weapon, does anyone know of a rare(blue) one? and what effects might it have

[lunar vine]

often when that happens the fix, for some reason, has been to load another world with that character then go back, or vice versa load that world with another character then go back. You can try those and see if it works.

[compact quail]

Search for loading screen fix in the searchbar in discord

[limpid ermine]

anyhone have a shovel glitch where it wont dig?

[warped fossil]

Iam settings global illumination from epic to low and then normal thanks

[ebon crest]

Crit increase

[silver glade]

cool thx

[old lava]

Any open spot in a server ?

[digital spindle]

I dont naur

[upper gull]

how rare its to find a crab shell ??? ive been looting over 20 crabs but no shell yet

[lunar vine]

are you looting the little ones or the big ones?

[upper gull]

theres different sixze?

[lunar vine]

little orange ones or big undead enemy crabs that attack you

[upper gull]

the small one

it has to be the big ones?

[lunar vine]

okay thats the correct one. Just gotta keep at it. Ive been playing for about 90 hours and ive found a total of 2, but i have defintely not been farming for them, just grabbing crabs as i run by.

[lunar vine]

no has to be small ones

[upper gull]

danm okok

[upper gull]

got it after 42 crabs lmao

[rocky charm]

I have question. I have a ketch now, but will a larger ship have a larger crew and therefor more marines to join in boarding?

[lucid idol]

So are the gear drops random? Or do certain locations have certain pieces of gear in the chests?

[abstract aspen]

random aside from maybe a few..the one after the second boss isn't random for example

[lucid idol]

I see. Wasn't sure if I would find things like the Conquistador set & crusher in specific places, or if I should just be combing every possible island.

[shell echo]

every island, an item that I found last in my first playthrough I found as the second blue one in my second playthrough

there even is some blue items that can be found either in first or second biome and each playthrough / map / char it will be different where it is

[simple obsidian]

I'm wondering if there is a nice person who will let me come into their world and touch their 1000 cut rapier? I just wanna look at it, not gonna take anything.. I am an honest pirate... (lol)

[lucid idol]

Bring Conq gloves, or Crusher, and you have a deal

[simple obsidian]

Lemme check...

[mellow solstice]

finally found a farm and got the millstone 🥹

[simple obsidian]

BoneBreaker but no Crusher... Conquistador gloves I do have...

[lucid idol]

Sweet.

[simple obsidian]

Send a DM on how to get to your map....

[lucid idol]

Will do once I've got it loaded up

[simple obsidian]

No hurry at all... 😄

[haughty idol]

That's actually a really damn good question! Ive noticed a lot of games do that. Its a bad industry habit, about as bad as the whole eternal "no-pockets" thing.

[void merlin]

i hope in the future updates they'll make the gun rack useable or add in weapon mounts for decorations

[opaque mica]

I also would like to be able to sell excess insignias for piastre's as after max affinity I don't see a reason to collect them anymore, or maybe allow the crafting of cool themed cosmetics with them

[upper gull]

Does anyone need help for quest,farm,boss, whatever ?

[lucid idol]

I'm just getting my bearings and figuring out where to find the parts I want for my build.

[void merlin]

dude that sounds awesome

[oak trail]

Bug or Purpose that if you have multiple guns equipped and you shoot one, that the others where empty too?
Historical there where people who had equipment multiple pistols to shoot one after another.
But it could be a balance thing

[uncut gyro]

The pistols are already a pair, technically. The character puts one away and pulls another for a second shot. There's also a double-trigger pistol with two shots in it and a pistol that comes with a third pistol.

But you're right, the blunderbus being unloaded after you fire musket or pistols is a bit silly. I've heard it mentioned before but you might want to look through their feedback page (link in main menu) to see if it's there

[glacial mica]

@simple obsidian you get to touch someones sword yet? 😆

[simple obsidian]

Aye.... thanks.. brought gifts of my own to share.. so, it was a pleasure all around. @lucid idol was very patient with me. lol

[glacial mica]

well shout if you need other weapons ;p blunderbusts are..., fun

[lucid idol]

I'm hunting for the Crusher if you have it

[glacial mica]

will pop in and have a looksee, no idea all the junk I has >.<

[lucid idol]

It's a mace with a knockdown effect

[glacial mica]

oh got it ;p might be able to makes one also

awes, fudge cant make it, but I has one ;p

[dusty pier]

Pegleg Larry

[subtle void]

my home while I build

[lucid idol]

If you can't get yourself a spare, then don't sweat it

[glacial mica]

well I dont really like those types of smaching things, more a pokey pokey guy, so if you want it ;p

[lucid idol]

Fair enough! I'll be happy to have it

[lucid idol]

Is there a purpose to fighting bosses again? Are there rewards?

[keen dove]

Fighting the bosses unlocks access to the new materials of the next biome and you progress further with the main quest. Also, fighting the first boss and killing him then going at the back of the arena you find 4 extra chests to loot AND fighting the second boss and killing him you find 1 extra chest that has a soul eater

[lucid idol]

So the chests refill if I go back to fight the first boss again? Sweet

[keen dove]

When you kill a boss with a character that's it, you have to make a new character to fight a boss again to my knowledge

[lucid idol]

Ah, so there's no point to going and fighting the same boss a second time.

[keen dove]

Same goes for the chests, if you loot a chest from any POI with a character even if you make a new world the chests will be empty, you have to make a new character to get different things from chests in the same POIs. I hope this makes sense

[keen dove]

You physically cannot fight the same boss multiple times with the same character, you have to fight him with another character

[lucid idol]

Ah, that sounds... Frustrating

[gusty gust]

There's a blue altar thingy near the boss arenas that let you re-fight them I believe.

[keen dove]

Why tho

[keen dove]

Really? I did not mess with that one, need to try it when I get home, still the chests you cannot loot them again, you need another character for those

[lucid idol]

Starting a new world sounds pointless if the chests will just be empty anyway.

[keen dove]

You need to start a new character as well

[lucid idol]

Then, with the loot from the chests being random, that means that you have to start multiple characters and hope RNG likes you enough for you to find what you're wanting

[keen dove]

Basically, or borrow items from other players so you can craft them yourself

[gusty gust]

Are unique chest items random or are they just randomly dispersed?

[uncut gyro]

a specific few are preset, the rest are random

[lunar vine]

i think some are not available until you get to the third biome as well, so you don't find the strongest weapon in the game on the first island for example

while that is true about a new character opening chests for different loot, from what ive seen and heard all loot is in the game, it just may take longer to find than others if you want something specific.

[peak ferry]

I started a whole new character to play with friends on a new dedicated server and quests were completed and chests were still empty. If you keep a previous character that already completed a quest and looted the chest, then it will show completed on every character you create and chests will be empty. As I still have my Lvl 15.

[uneven pier]

Wierd, i have 4 chars now on diff worlds. All progressing quests just fine on thier own.

[peak ferry]

You will have a different map tho and will have to rediscover everything. Including finding where the factions are.

[uneven pier]

maybe dont use the same char all the time 😄

[peak ferry]

I dont. I have three different characters.

[uneven pier]

https://tenor.com/view/cool-gif-5111338745644474401

[peak ferry]

One on a game I host, another on a game a friend hosts. And one on a Dedicated server another friend pays for.

[glacial mica]

I have many characters in me head, but jsut one in game >.< No idea how you can handle more worlds, this one is mean enough for me ;p

[peak ferry]

I'm using different characters to play different builds and experiment to try to find the best tank, DPS, and 2hander specs that work for me. 🙂 And which different types ships I like best.

[compact cipher]

My own server is currently the client version is not the same, an error and keep it.

I tried to update and it didn't change I tried updating app_update 41393828 with steamcmd and the result did not change

[west lintel]

Is the save data for windrose saved on my pc or in the game server itself?

[lapis badge]

does anyone have a plague halberd i could use for blueprint

[rose ferry]

Are there any mire ingot bullets or are the iron bullets generally the best short of a high crit build?

[lunar vine]

i think so, i havent made any yet i forget if i unlocked them

unless you are already aware of the arborum bullet things, thats what im talking about. not sure on the name

[warm edge]

they need to fix the menu when buying from provisioners. when youve already learned a plan, it shouldnt show as 1 in your backpack. it shouldnt even be available to buy

like how are people glazing these devs so hard when they overlook stuff like this lol

[rose ferry]

Those are just crit damage though so if you have low or no crit, not that good

[lunar vine]

or at least you should be able to return it if you cant use it.

shooting in the head is always a crit, so if you're doing guns correctly, they are very good.

[pale perch]

not sure why people should not praise the devs of a first time game thats also early access, over such a minior issues..there are bigger issues you could complain about

[rose ferry]

Oh dang really? I haven’t really used them much. Wasn’t aware. That’s cool

[lunar vine]

i do admit with some guns it can be difficult to always hit the head, but with some its like they are sniper rifles.

[warm edge]

i mean there are absolutely bigger issues to complain about. but a first time game lol? theyre copying everything there is to copy

[tired maple]

Whit who i need to speak to post in server-promotion does any cab help me out Thx

[pale perch]

Copying ideas has nothing to do with experience of development and at least we have an indicator that stuff is already bought, so they made sure people know. Would it be better if it was just removed from the list probably but its not like they don't tell you anything.

[warm edge]

i mean its ui stuff a freshman in college would take care of lol

[rose ferry]

Is there a best headshot gun? I think one is supposed to be more accurate. I have the explosive blunderbus and it’s not that accurate but holy damage!!!!!

[lapis badge]

reliable musket great from range but i i like dragons breath overall more for just dmg

[rose ferry]

Is there a best weapon or build for the final boss? That thing whipped my booty. Haven’t tried again but I figured I need a better approach

[lunar vine]

i have not tried dragons yet, but agree on reliable. However, i mostly use drakes pistol for the damage bonus that applies to my melee combat

[lapis badge]

reliable musket crushes hunters. just wall and get behind it from range and you can shoot them at angles they cant touch you

[pale perch]

Ahh yes, armchair dev work 😉

[warm edge]

ahh yes, copying other games is tough 😏

[knotty harness]

Not this again

[rose ferry]

The explosive one is awesome, but I just use the healing pistol as a backup

[pale perch]

do you think by copying the idea they also copied the code? o.o

[glacial mica]

two dragons breath if anyone wants 😆

[warm edge]

lol the facebook arguement, nice

[lunar vine]

Ashe, not sure why you have to be so negative. Are you enjoying the game other than the fact that you accidentally bought an item you cant use a second time?

[glacial mica]

oh and full ascended also

[pale perch]

I see it makes no sense wasting time on this 😄

[lapis badge]

i am still trying to copy plague halberd if anyone has one. i never have copied but cant find

[glacial mica]

lemme check @lapis badge

[glacial mica]

@lapis badge got a spare >.<

[lapis badge]

awesomeo i am not sure how to do this but can figure oout ) lemme get outt here safe one min lol

[lapis badge]

ok what do i need to do ?

[glacial mica]

sent you a server name

[warm edge]

uhh how am i being negative? i guess pointing out something wrong is being negative now

[viscid steppe]

i mean buying something twice in an early access, that cant be used more than once, idd call a skill issue tbf
rather than blame everyone/everything arround, youre the one that clicked it twice.

[lapis badge]

hmmmm in game or here?

[warm edge]

so youre saying early access has something to do with it

[glacial mica]

oh discord private message ;p

[viscid steppe]

it means the game is unfinished, therefor can contain aspects that need polishing/refining

[rigid rapids]

I love me some confrontational crying arguments

[glacial mica]

cant have riffraff come raiding me 😆

[rigid rapids]

I'm in your walls

[glacial mica]

eeek

[warm edge]

huh are you blaming me or are you blaming the ui lmfao, make up your mind

[rigid rapids]

Translation " answer me so I can keep arguing about what you said"

[lunar vine]

your tone is insulting and negative. "stuff a freshman would take care of lol" is not a friendly way to say it. And as soon as anyone calls you on it, you either get defensive or try to turn it around on them. Overall, just seems like you're looking more for a confrontation than a discussion, with the way you approach your comments and responses.

[knotty harness]

The faction shops should reasonably already be coded to prevent you buying stuff you cannot use more than once and cannot give to others, but money isn't difficult and it's not a big deal. Either it will get fixed so you can't or it will get fixed so items can be given to others. Either way, this whole thing is stupid. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

[viscid steppe]

i mean the question shows the lvl comperhension possesed. im saying youre the one that clicked twice, therefor the blame is on you, (like animation locking your char rather than blocking an attack and then complaining why am i dying).

that it COULD be a feature that they code out in future, sure that would be QOL but notthing in this game is ever lost as resources are farmable aplenty.

30 ginea is 30 mins at best

[warm edge]

so sorry. "something an experienced coder would take care of"

[rigid rapids]

Honestly I didn't even know there could be such an issue I always took the 1 second needed to look if I already ordered something from the shop

[knotty harness]

You're being negative and insulting too

[rigid rapids]

Plus you can just cancel the order and get the money back

As for the shops from the faction there's a sign that shows if you own the blueprint

[lunar vine]

Yeah, saying it like that is less confrontational, and will be much more likely to generate a discussion about it, than start an argument. If people see confrontational verbiage, a lot of people will just give back what they get, and it makes the discord feel hostile. Much more fun to have conversations than arguments, imo.

[rigid rapids]

So it's legit you being blind instead of it's the devs fault

[knotty harness]

Now who's perpetuating the argument? Go outside.

You too, Ashe.

[rigid rapids]

Captain grass talking

[hazy glen]

Are you all forgetting the fact that the game is also playable in multiplayer? Kinda not fun playing on someone's server/game who did buy all the stores empty. 🤔

[knotty harness]

Which stores have limited stock?

[rigid rapids]

Not an issue I even thought it exists cuz I didn't know there are shops with limited items

[hazy glen]

No I mean for people complaining that you can buy stuff even after another player did buy it already. 🥴 Sorry, must have misread something. Just awake here. 🤪

[knotty harness]

The complaint is that the game doesn't currently prevent you from buying another of an item you already have, so if you misclick or something you've spent money for nothing.

[rigid rapids]

The argument was based on someone buying the same thing twice from the faction shop and getting mad about it

[warm edge]

wow did it 20 years ago im surprised they didnt copy that too

[rigid rapids]

It took blizzard 20 years to copy their own game to be fair

[warm edge]

not wrong

[hazy glen]

Yeah that! So If I have friends playing on my server, and I want to buy them a pattern they do not have.... But I see. Sound more like someone trolling, then an argument. 🤪

[warm edge]

yeah @hazy glen you get it for sure

[rigid rapids]

The limited patterns in wow were a source of income for ppl camping the shops

[knotty harness]

I don't know why people say "Windrose needs PvP"; we have plenty of it here in the Discord on a daily basis.

[rigid rapids]

0 days since pvp was mentioned meme

[uncut gyro]

WoW, that was a time. I used to watch the neutral AH for folks moving items to the other faction, and I'd snag anything that they didn't put a big buyout on 😄

[rigid rapids]

And then offer to sell em back the items for lower than market price

[zealous cairn]

they already have a pirate game with pvp its called sea of thieves

[rigid rapids]

Notice the joke lad

[zealous cairn]

i know

[uncut gyro]

naw I sold them to my faction for half whatever the going price was. Moves things along quite quickly. Despite there being no mechanic, I always felt like they were ... hot goods? 😄

[rigid rapids]

Oh u were committed to making them mad I just sold them back their items to make a profit but keep the relationship civil

Making enemies of the faction farmers was not a good idea on my server

[uncut gyro]

I mean I used an alt, and did this maybe once a week if I needed to fund my engineers expensive garbo

doubt I ever caused more than a few reminders to put a bigger buyout as insurance

[rigid rapids]

Ah makes sense that way

[uncut gyro]

Also as a personal rule, If I recognized the name from the hour or so I did it, I left it alone. Didn't want to slam anyone particularly hard, y'know?

I did get a few whispers from GM/mods, but I really wasn't doing anything wrong at all 😈

[rigid rapids]

The scammiest thing I've done was drive the price for enchanting scrolls up for the whole server but that took a whole lot of discord chats

[timid crescent]

I love when people come in sounding all entitled complaining about minor issues in the game as if they are catastrophic problems and then wonder why people are hostile towards them

[rigid rapids]

Oh sir walnut is here don't you use punctuation you hear?

[timid crescent]

LMFAO

Hello

[keen dove]

Someone told me that you cannot get to lvl 7 before the first boss without doing POIs in the Foothills. This is my third playthrough and I am lvl 7 with doing all the Coastal Jungle POIs, all the quests that are recommended lvl 5 or below and one small shipwreck island that has enemies lvl 5. So point proven again

[abstract aspen]

nothing feels better than a little friendly fire in the morning :D

[viscid violet]

Get the cat involved in D&D an say it’s a Druid stuck in cat form

[rancid rune]

Huh

[uncut gyro]

with that screen, looks like the DM is stuck in cat form

[rigid rapids]

Nah the cat would flip over the board and eat the dice when it rolls low

[rigid rapids]

He is looking for your bed

[rancid rune]

I have zero clue on how he managed to get up there 😂

[rose ferry]

Is the frog boss stupid hard or am I just super trash?

Add the spinny seal music and we got ourselves a priceless gem of a video

i can confirm after a 100 bottles of rum you cant get drunk... sadge

[fallow wyvern]

There's your problem, you gotta drink 1000

[icy sail]

...time to farm rum again, YOU BETTER NOT BE LYING brb in a week or two

[fallow wyvern]

I never said you'd get drunk, I just said you gotta drink 1000

[rigid rapids]

Why's the rum gone

[uncut gyro]

[fallow wyvern]

Is it? It keeps respawning for me

[hearty isle]

[split charm]

G'day, gents. How's the sea today?

[hearty isle]

we drank it all

[rigid rapids]

Idk I'm stuck inland at the office waiting for the tide to come

[split charm]

Same. Also, no wind at all. Sadness.

[rigid rapids]

https://tenor.com/YXZR.gif

[split charm]

The most important question ever, yes.

[hearty isle]

I had to drink it, pirates water and all

[uncut gyro]

I had to test my rum buoyancy somehow!

[hearty isle]

aye! can't sail the seas sober and rumless

[rigid rapids]

[hearty isle]

sorry mate we shouldve left some for you

[golden ore]

soon may the wellerman come, to bring us sugar and tea and rum

I prefer the vibe from a small harbor than a very big building

[vernal grotto]

i wish the pier could be built further out, that the sand did not slope down as if it was a mountain, but instead was a sand island, where shallows extend for hundreds of meters.

[keen dove]

Love this game

i have gathered 150... does brandy count?

[minor ginkgo]

https://gyazo.com/c57d0236994e7f51973eaa582631c210 needed ages finally got it

[fallow wyvern]

No, rum or nuttin'

[icy sail]

aye aye captain

[minor ginkgo]

Sadly you cant upgrate the Rarity of it

[fallow wyvern]

It still smashes

[icy sail]

smash

[barren finch]

finally beat richard today lol

[minor ginkgo]

yeah time to make it 380 xd

[surreal sierra]

Pure ragdoll smasher builds are hilarious

And because the physics can be janky at times you can send enemies to orbit

I’ve seen it done twice

[fallow wyvern]

The physics are too stable to be called janky, we need more flying ships and stuff

[worthy ingot]

The game freezes and hangs way too often to be pleasant...

[lunar vine]

i have not encountered that, the only slight stutter i recall seeing is when i alt-tab back into the game from discord

maybe turn your settings down a little bit so it runs smoother?

[icy sail]

anyone need manual labor? i will work for rum

[fallow wyvern]

Irl or ingame?

[icy sail]

ingame need a 1000 rum bottles

[fallow wyvern]

https://tenor.com/view/dang-it-butters-south-park-upset-darn-gif-20394513

What about the 150 you gathered?

DID YOU DRINK IT ALREADY???

[icy sail]

...uhm maybe

[fallow wyvern]

I can't deal with this, I'm going outside (ingame)

[icy sail]

i just had a 100

[sand sparrow]

Ain't NO way "Roll the old chariot" doesn't win the new shanty competition

[craggy meteor]

Ill make you sing a shanty all the way down the ocean

The only shanty we need is the beer song with a beer in the hand

[storm magnet]

Come on you young sailors and listen to me, I'll sing you a song of the fish in the sea

[vernal grotto]

What is the second best overall meele weapon? we all know the bleed rapier is number 1.

[craggy meteor]

Halberd is number one unless you're bad at the game

[knotty harness]

Which halberd? The plague halberd that has the extra-damage crutch?

[craggy meteor]

base, weaklings need a buff

[vernal grotto]

base as in green? we're talking about the best weapon lol 😄

[finite sage]

Pffft, real pirates use a shovel

[craggy meteor]

that is the best weapon

[vernal grotto]

cool does not equal best

[craggy meteor]

we can test, you join me on hard max multiplier and you beat any one of the bosses before me

[vernal grotto]

Aura-factor not counted

[craggy meteor]

what you mean not counted!

[vernal grotto]

that would be comparing personal skill

[craggy meteor]

so... my personal skill makes the halberd the best, so get to working

[simple obsidian]

Stupid question time.. If I leave like 400 ore in the smelter and then log out, will it still smelt, or does it stop when I leave?

[craggy meteor]

@simple obsidian yes it will also @vernal grotto would probably be the saber

[sand sparrow]

"Spanish Ladies" is a brits only song.
"The Beer song" is funny but just a meme.

I didnt think about it but I forgot about Wellerman, im not a fan but Wellerman will definitely win the shanty request.

[simple obsidian]

Gracias!

[craggy meteor]

I've been listening to the beer song since classic wow. It shall always be my shanty @rocky bloom it will be in 4-6 months

[rocky bloom]

anyone know when the next big update is with new story mode?

[vernal grotto]

i really like the dueling greatsword, healing with the ascended version.

[craggy meteor]

you need healing in this game? Aura points lost

[timid crescent]

I think that's only true if it's a dedicated server @simple obsidian if it's a solo game, smelting doesn't happen unless you're playing. Or if it's your friend's hosted game, they have to be playing.

[vernal grotto]

Sabers are great for the wide parry window.

[craggy meteor]

pretty sure it's full time, at least works for me when I log off. Maybe I just naturally bug the ggame

[timid crescent]

Are you connecting to a remote server or playing solo?

[craggy meteor]

I only play solo, the heck you think I am. I will smelt some copper and log off instantly see if it smelts 2

[timid crescent]

Good idea lol, the last I checked, it didn't smelt unless I was playing but it has been a few weeks now since I've played lol

[craggy meteor]

since you played! well get back on

[keen dove]

6 months wait

[timid crescent]

I did everything I could do, killed the 200 crocs, built a big castle, have like 200 hours in the game 😛

[craggy meteor]

you beat the game on max multiplier on hard?

[keen dove]

I tried all the melee weapons, the greatswords work for me the best so far

[timid crescent]

I did enough for me 😛

[keen dove]

I did beat almost all the game on hard Except the priestess on hard, everything else destroyed

[craggy meteor]

seeeeee not done, get back to work and @keen dove next is max multiplier

[timid crescent]

Just waiting for Ashlands now

[keen dove]

I tried max multiplier, died 10 times on my starter island and gave up, now I am playing a normal playthrough trying out the Halberd weapons

[simple brook]

I would just like to say, unleashing Truffle on the deck of a pirate ship is one of my favorite things. That is all.

[craggy meteor]

I did halberd on every single one, I should be done my max multiplier run in 10 more hours

[keen dove]

Truffle is super useful

[timid crescent]

Plague halberd is so good

[keen dove]

Damm wp

[craggy meteor]

I use base weapons only usually, so doing green

[timid crescent]

https://tenor.com/view/thats-just-me-tho-ohh-my-bad-not-me-dont-put-that-shit-on-me-gif-14444925

[keen dove]

No way only green weapons? You do not get the better versions?

[craggy meteor]

I have the better versions but trash em for some good old copper

[keen dove]

Lol you are missing out on fun

[trim oasis]

Honestly, I've made a separate character myself and I'm trying to do a green only run myself

[craggy meteor]

when I did normal I tried out the weapons, just was boring with the effects

[keen dove]

Like trashing a better halberd when you are using halberds is weird

[keen dove]

That's a challenge, no need for tumbaga ingots lol

[high berry]

Anyone happen to know if the 'Take aim' effect works in multiplayer for the others in a fight?

[craggy meteor]

less material grind is nice

[trim oasis]

Yeah XD, I'm already feeding all my iron/mire/tumbaga into my main save anyway

[keen dove]

I guess but if you are doing all the POIs anyways and have the tumbaga ingots ready might as well get the better weapon right?

[craggy meteor]

I mean if you're playing this game for the easy run

[keen dove]

If you wanna challenge yourself then ok makes sense if you are using only green weapons. I played my first playthrough on normal, second playthrough on hard and now every new playthrough I just play normal and try different things

Made 2 ketches for example 1 brethren and 1 Blackbeard. Brethren for ship battles and Blackbeard for fast exploration of islands
