On this save I only use the ketch, my normal I use the blackbeardand my hard one I use the blackbeard, since it is the best boat
I tried it for you, I logged off well brushing my teeth - They all crafted well offline
The Blackbeard Ketch is the best for exploration but the Brethren is better for ship battles especially early game when you do not have the 24 pounders yet
I use my le 36 pounders and I GUESS? but you literally have infinite health on normal or even hard if you do the infinite health build so blackbeard is best
i use brethren mostly because i need the cargo space.
Yes after you get the upgrades the Blackbeard Ketch maybe is better for ship battles
The only Blackbeard ship that can have the 36 pounders is the Frigate, the Brig and the Ketch can have maximum 24 pounders
I only use the blackbeard, I ain't wasting materials on making multiple
Yeah the cargo is very useful as well
Yeah you have the speed and the bigger cannons which is great, if you do not care about cargo or more hp then you good
infinite health and no reason for the max cargo size unless Im going to an island and farming a lot of stuff
Oh cool! Good to know!
Infinite health with Keehold Hull and Stretch the Supplies Tactics right?
yes
Those 2 are the best hull and Tactics, the others are not even worth it
wronggggggg, shield build is fine for under level 10 - steadfast
What is shield build?
I tried steadfast and yeah under lvl 10 is duable but after that you need the keehold 100%
I did it to level 12 ships so I say you don't NEED it, just based on how you play
I tried fighting a lvl 12 Frigate with my Brethren Brig lvl 10, used steadfast and died, used keehold and destroyed the Frigate
we need to teach you how to fight boats then 😛
Nah am chillin
Ketch and I would like to bring you out for dinner
maybe I needs to make him a free frigate ;p
you could let me see that loot room well you're at it
lols no, sit, spank, I just got the shipment of cloth
I made already 2 frigates on my own on my 2 playthroughs, I do not want free stuff I like the grinding
sinks the spare ones >.<
I really need to check what I have first, now I got like 10 boxes of planks and I keeps making the stuff
the 1 thing i liked about the ketch was that it was nearly as strong on the front as on the side
the one thing I liked it you still press repair with it... works the same as any other frig
they should make like a builders back pack or somethiing to take materials to build in a different spot
they did, it's called a ship
Not even
Plop down a teleport bell at each end
more inland i mean
No. No. No. No.
ragdolls will never not be funny
What is stopping YOU from brunderbussing?
yeah u right storage i forgot from ship
Really need a way to replant the foliage that's been destroyed by flattening the space to make room for the buildings. The drop rate on tree/bush seeds is way too low to make them useful when repopulating after adjusting terrain to make room for the buildings. Also, the vertical dig depth is a bit too shallow, I've got large bumpy hills in the place I flattened, and I can't make it smooth cuz of the limit.
nga did a somersault lol
Sometimes you're on the recieving end.
Am I like the only person that uses the lock on feature?
I dont think Ive ever seen anyone else use it at all
nah i use it too
nope, it's useless
I use it from time to time in ship boarding but generally not
I rarely use it. most of the time the lock-on gets me into more trouble
for rapier it's far more useful, but doesn't work well with rapier's heavy attack. Feels like it's always aimed just slightly wrong which doesn't matter most of the time, but then enemy moves just a tiny little bit, it just misses entirely.
then there's the issue with controller and lock-on
lock on definitely sucks for slash weapons, assuming you're good at free aiming
I've never used lock on, it more or less isolates you in a fight with multiple people
I don't use it because I didn't use it when I started the game so I'm used to it how it is
Does make it easier to nuke 1 enemy if using rapier tho
if you've played any game like this that doesn't have a lock on feature, no
but I've played plenty of souls games and sekiro to know when to lock on and when to not
i assume lockon would aim at the person, even if they are moving to the side? so you'd miss every time any target moves sideward? (for stab motions like rapier)
when using a heavy attack you get locked into an attack animation, and there is 0 tracking with it to adjust where that thrust is going to hit. What makes it worse is that short windup before first thrust.
never use it because i want to know whats around me and that restricts it
I use it because I want to know what's around me. If I don't need to be concerned about which way my character is facing, I can spread more of my attention to surrounding
I use it occasionally when I want to skewer 2-3 ppl while boarding with a big sword and they line up properly
i imagine target lock would be bad at higher difficulty boarding, for example, where you constantly need to adjust and look different directions.
turn quick for a parry then dodge or lunge a specific direction.
Same - I prefer to be able to keep track of my surroundings.
and for stuff off screen, my ears work just fine
I need steam engine
I think it's not that intensive of an action to lock > use heavy charge atk> unlock and disengage but that's just me
I think they should add more content towards sea combat?
I just press heavy attack and it hits
Yeah until you don't and you zoom through the air with the sounds of a fart moving through tight pants
maybe some boardings can end with a cap v cap duel.
109 hours I don't think I've missed it yet so blah
109?
when using rapier's heavy, I've lost the count how many times they do a small side step and the entire attack misses because of lock on lol... will be free aiming that heavy to avoid that
109! IYKYK
i use lock on and with a controller.only way i can get a hit.it is a learning curve with it though.
Honestly I use the lock when I just wanna guarantee a good combo and then disengage to avoid getting surrounded
My ship just got destroyed for being in the waters of the Blackbeard Blockade even tho I wasn’t (and wasn’t even that close) 🌚
drop me an invite code let me help
They hunted you down
Some of us find out the hard way that as long as that message is on screen, you're in danger 
Like
on boardings i use musket from safteyof my frigate
Whats with the down votes on the bug fixes
it more on the lock-on switch is too sensitive
i go first, like any captain worth his salt should.
happened to me too. feels weird way to do it. I'd much prefer that message to be displayed when you're getting too close and instantly destroy you when you cross the border, not an arbitary timer for being close to the border
I do that as well but good lord it's annoying to wait for either my crew to kick the bucket or snipe the right target through my allies and invisible walls
The ship just sinks, I didn’t get attacked by Blackbeard Ships. U just get a lil sign telling u to leave the waters or ur ships gets destroyed and if you don’t leave it in time, ur ships just sinks just like that
some times ill do a tactical leap into the water, but i come right back 😄
i give them the tools let them have the fun
i'm used to shooting enemies w/o lock-on on controller. but if you use it with melee and multiple enemies are around, it tends to switch to a new target after 1 swing
Should be a kraken that pulls you into the depths
it's currently too sensitive, even small camera movement can swap it
i kill most with my db musket and purple shots
if you use controller maybe I understand the lock and if you're new to freehand games. But the mates with 1000s of hours on no lock games
I guess my pcs too slow to manage that xD
at higher difficulty you not only need max level crew, but they don't do nearly enough damage on their own to defeat 30 crew on frigates, so you need to occupy some of them, and do a lot of damage.
I mean itd be cool if thats what happened
It's the flying Dutchman
But like, I wasn’t even in the “forbidden” waters 🫠 that’s what annoys me most
The border is only to give you a false sense of security
i used a lvl 11 crew against lvl 13 frigate, got destroyed, crew died so fast, so i only got to 15/30 kills or so.
Ill help you I got you
Definitely would
I've defeated a lvl 15 frigate with a lvl 10 crew. I ran out of crew just before killing the last one
If anyone ever wondered what happened if you cross the Blockade, there’s ur answer xD
i upgraded to 13 crew, and the next fight had lots of spare crew. upgraded to 14 and now they go down into the boat and chase the enemy down.
well Ill join you just to get free coins
what difficulty do you play on?
we need to add pom poms for people to join in as moral support 
normal, forgot the exact difficulty name
We need to add pvp so I can shoot them off the dock 🙂
the kitchen wench and cabin sally can have pompoms made from palm leaves.
high seas i think. i play on the next one up with 125%/150%, so boardings are uniquely difficult, as the crew gets outmatched AND you need to kill so many more people, i think it's 30 instead of 20.
I'm annoyed when I gotta take down 20 of these buggers
30 kills to claim loot...
WAKE UP AND GET THAT ARSE IN A VC ❤️

they don't want us to join their ship expedition

The only acceptable pom pom:
Anti air machine gun from WWII?
Yup. 😄
What you wanna shoot seagulls or sth?
Gun goes POM POM POM POM... gulls go POP POP POP POP
never underestimate a flock of bomber seagulls. Once the first one hits, more will follow.
People would think you believe the flying dutchman really is flying
That's why we need AA guns on our ships.
All I can see is Steve Harvey screaming the seagulls are coming
If you don't know what I'm talking about do yourself a favor and look it up on youtube
lol
Nobody else can say so many things with a single gaze
for being too old for maidens you sure post maidens all the time
If you are wealthy enough ur never too old for maidens
roughly October
November, with how close to the end of the month the announcement was and how they said "6mo at the earliest"
Next year then 
Oof. That would be terrible.
Terrible would be never 
Hello question. I have maxed out all relations with the friendly factions. Now the tokens are stacking up. If there will be a mayor update on expending the factions. Will this be save game compatible? So i can make later use of them or are they worthless for my current playthrough and should i just throw em away?
There should be more levels to the rapport system but for the time being they are completely useless
It would be best to just store them in a corner of your base and forget about em until you need em
Yeah hard to forget when everytime i sail to a new island i have to fight pirates which will drop a fair amount of em. Same with ship repair sets of which i have hundreds but never even crafted one
Since i have my Brig i shred through the AI
The blue ones you can sell to the bretheren vendor for silver coins ( repair kits)
Ooh really? Should definitely do that
Sell the kits for profit. Next - instead of tokens you'll be swamped with cash and will have something else to worry about. 😄
Yeah the bretheren island is always a little annoying to locate so keep that in mind
when will the scrumpets be introduced, that could be a money sink
Thanks for the info man appreciated. I have found the main base and everything. Im just exploring everything before i go to the third biome.
Tortuga's finest will not be cheap!
I can appreciate the nose of a fine wine, even if I don’t drink it
Also question about the markets. If i buy for example 10 stones is that 10 stacks of stones or just actually 10 stones because 250 for 10 stones is crazy
No worries I was in your shoes until the ppl here told me the same exact info
Stacks. 50 stone in each, if I'm not mistaken.
Depends on the resource you are buying
Well stone 😄
The lad above is right about the stone
tis such a good lad
Yup, 50. Just checked.
Im a game development environmental artist so i can't really not bother with building stuff for my base 😭
Anyway I get wayy too much stone as a byproduct of mining, I never had to buy extra from the market.
Prepare your wallet, then 🙂
Browse the #🎨│creative channel there are some amazing builds there
Idk about everyone else but I really dont give a - about The Wellerman. Feels cliche at this point. Rather have more work songs and real shanties (I acknowledge most of the current ones arent real shanties either)
i have the video of thos guys buildging a whole castle on an island
I'm more inclined to support the people who want to hear their favorite songs in shanties than be time accurate
Each to his own taste, I guess. I love the bloody Wellerman.
Oh im not talking about it being anachronistic (I have no idea), just that there's a lot of songs labled as shanties that really are just "songs vaguely relating to ships".
Then again, this would prob be the first game to include Wellerman, so maybe im on board afterall
he is easy to recreate
i know exactly who that is haha
Steve Harvey?
Hm, is there a way to order more than one type of goods at the traders? Mixed delivery, I mean
u can get multiple of the same trader
As I said for me the popularity vote will forever be the superior form of voting for things like these since it's fair and people will just call for their favorites and those who are unhappy will forever cry about it as usual with nobody caring
Natural resources has 7 goods... so 7 instances, I guess? 😄
Still I'd like just to be able to place mixed orders.
Yoo sea shanty suggestions
"When new shanties" is the new "When EA" 
Which bullets are better, copper or pearls?
I suggested wellerman
Copper
Roughly the same, I think. Yet pearls are free. 🙂
...copper is free too, you just need to dig it and smelt it 😄
Copper then iron for general use. After you get to the swamp zones you will unlock better ones that are mainly used for boss battles
yes!... that is what I like to see when I wake up in the morning... the folk be working
If you go hunt musketeers copper bullets are free as well by that logic 
True 😄
Iron is by far the easiest to farm and craft bullets imo
You only need to unlock iron and get to a good deposit
Is it already known when Ashland will be open?
Nope
yes in about 6 months
manual labor for hire - will work for rum
ok thank you guys
How many coins per bottle
To the crocodile pits!
I got me treasure
yoooo
bro got the party ship
Kind wish you'd could drink the other ones too haha
Treasure for my belly
Does it actually do anything? I never was able to ascertain that. I mean it counts as a food item. But often alcohol has other effects in games as well.
I just stockpile them cuz I don't use grog
rum gives you "full of courage" boost.
Yeah, I vaguely remember that. But what does that do?
Lore accurate
What does that do tho? Stamina/health ??
It gives you +5 on confession stat when ur calling ur crush but comes with couch debuff when ur married
...what is a couch debuff?
It's your resting place until the debuff runs out
So it adds stamina refresh. Dope
for me not listening to popularity but to players that are good at the game, have a sense of game design and know how the game works
and know the direction of the game
aka testers
Rum is like the One True Flag in Helldivers 2.
Its "buff" is whatever you convince yourself it means.
Yeah nobody cares about you guys
I've become an ork in a bottle
if you listen to just popularity, you get babbies first game with 20 different games jammed into it because everyone thinks thing x is cool and needs to be added and people vote yes
like pvp
Exactly.
And it would be fair for the majority and y'all sweats or try hard lore accurate obsessives will be angy as usual
noone said anything about sweats
I mean, the point about that statement is it highlights such a thing would not fit with the developer's vision for the development of their game project.
hello 🙂
i like the popularity vote.
shows what the majority is actually looking for/forward to.
many are asking for simple enough things all things considered. nothing outrageous from what i have seen anyways^^
but it is true, i personally would rather listen to sweats than someone claiming: "upgrading gear doesn't matter" or "lvl 2 and lvl 12 enemies do same damage" or "my game does not do things when i press the button, ur combat sucks and you did a bad job"
If the choice is open to the player base the popularity vote should take priority since it's the voice of the majority of their base
If the choice is open to the player base, I'm presuming it's one the developers have on their table at all, which would be fair enough.
AYE AYE CAPTAIN
and you get directionless, styleless bloatslop like fortnite or palworld 
how are yall doing
We are talking about shanties nothing about game mechanics so I'm holding true to my principles of popularity vote there is nothing said about mechanics
Bloatslop
Waking up. Feel sick. Mum's sick. It kinda sucks. Gonna play Windrose with friends tomorrow.
oh shanties. yeah.
w/e 
don't bress b if you hate some
Wait what, whats wrong with shanties?
I for once love palworld it was a fun experience 
Oh, shanties? Cool beans. I'd be interested in more shanties. Hope they get added to the OST library.
the "gameplay" is fine. its a slavery survival game
aesthetically palworld is just gross imo.
Same
That was the core of the argument just cause you blindly assume something else it's not my problem 
Sweatshop survival?
ooooh, Maggie Maggie may...
I love the aesthetics I've made some awesome bases
Popular gives us the modern aaa industry.
Bland, broad appeal, non specialized slop.
Welcome!
No it's something else that gives us that but I would be breaching the rules if I go deeper so let's end it at that right? For the sake of peace here
oh hey, you made a glass box 
Stylish glass box 
were you get glass???
ah i see. i just popped in and thought it was about the popularity-votes of ideas in general.
i dont know enough shanties extremely by name lol
Interior looks nice.
This is palworld as for glass pieces in windrose you can unlock windows from the people of Tortuga vendor
i know this is a stretch but what if we make a ost by the community
eww. no
ok i was making a note of something else i missed somehow on windrose
In a form of a contest it would be fun
aka AI ost? 
Bro loves his AI,
Dont you?
Whats wrong if it's AI if the text is written by a person also there are some banger ai songs
no no, i have a band and a few people i know, a producer, mix and master
3how.may of you are already bots yo keep the chat moving
Lol. Yall got to much time on ya hands haha, i welped just making 200 mire metal ingot
I love making bases when able because I enjoy it more than actual combat 
i don't doubt you make cool stuff. many do
i am a real aesthetics hoe. and i hate it when stuff in games that was halfway done by 1 dude or band branches out and gets mishmosh by different people
same for the shanties. like someone said yesterday: make it with ai and different singers and whatnot. i want all shanties to be kept by the 1 dude that sang them
I have a really fun idea for an indie game... But I don't know if I can do it as a solo dev... 🥲
ykw fair, ill still try and make out something, even if it doesnt make it, atleast i had fun with it
Heartbound 2?
wasn't that that game by the man who created blizzard with his own wall boogers?
Scale and complexity are the things that you have to consider imo I know nothing about development but I am good at managing projects
Basically I want to do a Rogue-Lite Survival Deckbuilder where you're managing a herd of sapient mammoths travelling a deadly migratory route. 🤔
Cute
hello there 🤤
how to tell us u never found the brotherhood base without saying you never found the brotherhood base
Didn't you drink it all I smell a thief and a liar 
What's the Brotherhood Base got to do with it?
Nuthin'
I wonder why he always comes here just guns blazing looking for a confrontation
rum into kits into money
I'll have you know I am as priest as a sober on a someday or other.
As sober as the priest in Frieren?
just had a glass of dinner with your wine...
Can you actually profit on that? 🤔
Wait priests being sober in the old days? Nah 😛
That's true ironically 
thats like 1400 piastre right there in rum
Literal liquid gold 😛
Silver*
I seek a parlay with whomever decided beans go in tacos, and not burritos. 
Wait..... Ain't it the other way around?
Should be, yes.
I don't think you're drunk enough
Must be Australian, they do things the other way there
This is legit not ok 
as my buddy put it.. "confirmed white people made the game."
could always be worse.. there was the idea to put chicken ontop of waffles.. JS
Who wants to eat soggy bean tacos
Not when you put it like that
Pine***le on pizza 
what do you think where the devs are from
Lol.. that or Coke vs Pepsi are the fastest way to start Riots in Stream chats
I just enjoy the show 
i will die on the hill that people who "hate" pineapple on pizza never had a good pizza, only the a***ican crap where its cheap ham and can pineapples
no clue, not one to speculate.
That is just the worst, terrible, awful! Everyone knows the waffle goes on top of the chicken!
Ur free to die on that hill 
it is true
prime example: you 
Beans are pretty good on pizza.
Only in paste form I've tried it once
Ice cream on pizza anyone?
Only when I'm wasted
Cashews, too.
I honestly couldn't care less about what ppl put in their food
I can sense the Dark Force rising in this chat 😛
Even if it's people?
All that food purist BS is just as stupid as the crazy recipes that pass as food
.... Well u got me i can't support cannibalism
That is a relief
There are... but with music it's even more of a copy paste than with art.
dont put redbull into anything with* milk either please. that is just horrific xD
Life is short, eat (Almost) whatever and die happy.
The only interesting thing AI music does is making vocals fit in, but the music itself more or less copied
I'm willing to participate in a conversation about that as long as it's about the pure enjoyment of listening to something not the other things connected with AI
I'm not interested in debates about similarities between songs , theft and other things associated with AI
I am partial to lead paint.
Any kind of fizzy beverage in milk is just terrible
AI songs are usually pretty obvious to me. We're not there yet
That'll make life short, I think, I'm not a doctor
Tashkent, Uzbekistan. Their legal is ran out of Cyprus.
Traveling the world as much as I have.. I have seen some things.. I guess you can say I am unphased by a lot of the weird crap. One such example is Doritos.. They decided to launch a special edition that was Mt Dew Flavored in Australia for like 2 years. Then when that failed, they were like how much further can we go? So they partnered with Empyrical to make a Dorito flavored alcoholic beverage (Tequila I think it was)
So, not overly suprising they have taco and buritos backwards. I still need that parley though.. a duel via cannons in 2 fortnights is required.
I'm curious about one thing please why is Doritos the first thing that came to your mind 
there would be no damage done to society if thanos would snap 100% of ai songs or pics
or those damn chat bots
Because it was the weirdest thing I have seen.. Squid in Pizza does not top Doritos in the weird department (and yes thats a thing in China)
I was very surprised when I checked where they're from. I don't think I've ever herd the name of that country (in English) until I googled this game.
seafruit is common in pizza
I swear I've eaten shrimp and cucumber chips somewhere
You're squidding right? Tell me you're squidding...
pickle and dill chips are banger. idk wym
oh
prawn cocktail is.... ok
Yes that is unfortunately common.. Now if you want to talk alcohol that is a different matter.. I have seen things like Cinnabon Brand Vodka.. as if Cinnamon and Vodka is a good thing
Does anyone else want angled mahogany beams or is it just me?
I'm not much of a drinker so I mainly buy brandy 
i have done squid pizza in the past myself for grill parties
I want stone beams as well
dang it. that was the same one I found too for calamari pizza
If you want something funny though.. in Northern EU and Nordic.. There is a brand of Fish Sticks literally called Crack Sticks. That is its name in English. You can buy them in the frozen isle of nearly any store including Aldi
Just take a big scoop out of the ocean and throw it on some dough. shudder
actually. there a whole lot more
Wait there are mahogany beams already from the people of Tortuga vendor
Squid in terms of flavor I could see working on pizza, the trouble is the texture. It's much tougher than the other ingredients, meaning their is no harmony when chewing.
They have no angled ones though
Honestly im kinda down for that pizza
Oh wait angled sry I'm at the end of my work shift yeah
No problem lol I get that.
if the squid is tough texture, that means they overcooked it
What I want the most right now is a shawarma sandwich and a beer
You're buying us all pizza? Dang that's so nice of you!
lol
Speaking of seafood calamari rings with fried zucchini and tzatziki🤤
Summer come faster so I can go to Greece
I may have to delete that but for anyone interested.. I posted some funny or weird brand names I have seen in my travels, over in Off Topic
I'm outta here shift is over and home is calling
Safe travels then!
🍻
Morning, folks.
And hello there!
It’s not even 10am and I feel so done with work today.
time to raid some blackbeard haulers
I tussled with hands
That would be a great coffee company name... The Black Beard Hauler.
A roast so dark it doubles as black powder.
Hi guys, is the game just story mode or is it also a game like rust, dayz, etc...
There's no pvp, if that's what you're asking.
I would like to know if the game ends and there is nothing left to do afterwards.
Hey guys, I wanna check on something if my game is glitch or what, could y'all try to join in my code, you guys can leave right away I just wanna test something. Here's the invite code 45d5a050
To be completely honest. IF some form of PvP is added to this game, I think the best way to handle it is as an optional world/server setting. That being said, I'm not advocating for it's addition.
Building, pillaging ships, crafting, all very possible after completing the story, or at least the story so far: it's not complete yet.
totally not suspicious
But after the story, can you continue playing online, like Sea of Thieves?
I would imagine so.
I know I know, I'm not gonna do anything. I just got the game like a week ago and had the chance to open today and I don't see other servers... So that's why. I'm suspicious of it so yeah...
It would make us having persistent characters seem a little silly, otherwise.
There are no public servers. You can continue playing singleplayer or with friends, or on private servers.
Where can I report things to like a mod, there’s an Instagram account I’m pretty sure is impersonating the official game/devs and now they are promoting like shady crypto trading or something of course
Story isn't really the main part of the game, so yes, and it's early access aka not finished, there will be more story and more EVERYTHING eventually
You'll have to report that to instagram. Devs dont have control over instagram im pretty sure
anyone want to share their world/invite code? I thought id be matched with people or at least be able to look for servers without passwords but i dont see the option.
Theanks, friend!!
its not really that kind of game. its really more of a "with friends" type of thing
Do ship buffs freeze when you disembark, or do the continue to count down in real time?
Are there any chances of serving the public in the future?
*they
I mean, I'm not planning to run for office.....
To make the report I have to say they are impersonating another live account but I don’t think there is one
You can report them for scamming, at least
Instagram is horrendous for dealing with user reports anyway if you're not the affected party - best course would be to use the form above to let Windrose/Kraken know, and then they can report it since they're the party being impersonated
Also, obligatory (somewhat) daily message for me. I'd love to see the "Merchant" added to the game, I don't care if it only has five guns to a side. The ship just looks good. Hell, I'd even gladly throw the devs some extra cash to get it as part of a supporter pack.
We're likely getting either the Merchant or Galleon with Ashlands
How long until HMS Victory?
I would presume the Ship of the Line will come alongside Region 5 at earliest
Honestly, I feel like the Man'o'War/First Rate is too much ship for this game. That being said, more ships will always be welcome.
Amigos, I have been trying for about 10 hours to get the Reliable Musket but I just can't find it. Any idea if it is a random drop or a quest reward?
🤫
I'd like to see more variety in ships and ship outfitting, and the eariler ships having methods to bump them up to usability in the lategame.
Pretty sure it's random
Random.
Hi everyone. I'm new to this discord but have played the game awhile. I was wondering which is the better ship to build... The Brethren Variant or The Blackbeard Frigate?
BB Frigate for sure - it already has enough health, the speed is excellent, and the 36 pounders are an essential Windrose experience
I like Bretheren for ketch and brig, but for a frigate nothing beats BB's 36-pounders.
This. This is the ship that would make me the happiest to sail. I nolife the game all ready, but having this ship would go a long way to making me forget what the sun looks like. 🤣
Took me a minute to grab a decent snapshot. Had to find the Youtube video again.
Depends on what you want. Extra speed and firepower are really nice, but so is the extra cargo space
Hell yeah
Dang it mobile discord won't show forwarded messages
So if the Devs are watching the chat and taking notes, if you were to maybe, possibly, potentially add the Merchant as part of a supporter pack, you'd have at least one guaranteed sale. Wink wink, nudge nudge, ifyeknowhatimsayin'.
Thank you everyone for your input and advice sounds like the BB Frigate is the way to go then 🙂 I was only wondering because it says about the hull weakness on the BB Frigate
I hate to dash your dreams, but I really do expect the Galleon to be the one implemented rather than the Merchant
- we see the Galleon model used at Shipwreck POIs
- the Galleon has seen Dev posts, the Merchant has not
- the Galleon has a distinctly "Brethren" variant shown, implying it is at least in the stage of making variants
- the Galleon was spotted in Tortuga during the Gamescom 2025 showcase
anyone alse think it be nice to have comic like chat bubbles above playrs head if they talk in game?
Yeah, but I can dream. And hope. And pray. And cross every finger and toe.
if you run Keelhold you'll pretty much never need to concern yourself with ship health - just pop repairs and keep yourself healing at all times
give me a simplier row boat with no cat headfigure on the front and i be extreamly happy
Longboat, with seats and oars for other players. That would be awesome for co-op.
and going up the crow nests and npcs climbign on the ladders
It's more fragile than the other variants, but (unlike the other BB ship types in my opinion) still has a good amount of health. The speed and firepower let you end fights quickly, and a Keelhold will let you make constant repairs, especially if paired with Stretch the Supply.
@lusty patio, if you can forgive the unsolicited ping, I'd just like to say that your Discord status reminds me of many hours spent playing Neverwinter Nights and makes me extremely happy. I was always a fan of the "Boisterous Good-Natured" voice, myself. Godspeed, sir. 🫡
AFTER 57 TRY TRYING TO KILL THE FIRST BOOS STILL NO LUCK
What's your gear?
58 is the magic number!
True, adds up to 13, that's probably lucky.
Gear level more important that character level
Oh sweet LIBERTY that looks awesome.
reliable musket 2 pc conquistador's cuirass
-# copy pasta on beating Richards
- bring the best food you can, and a lot
- bring around 20 Bandage and 20 Health Potions
- I wore 2 piece Conq for the DMG resist + 2 piece Pikeman for the extra health
- UPGRADE YOUR WEAPONS AND ARMOR TO LVL 5 AT MINIMUM - HIGHER IS BETTER
- Spec into "Too Angry to Die" - having a 2nd life is far more useful than anything else if you're struggling
- bring Truffles - if you dont have her yet, go to the Foothills and get her. She can distract Richards / draw aggro, which is enough time to get a few hits in and/or heal up.
What level? Blue or purple?
blue
Wait a tick, don't you need to beat Richards a first time before you can upgrade past level 5?
and the glove had and bootss are privateer's also blue
Rarity is less important in the earlygame than gear level, but it does help.
All weapons and armor at least at lvl 5?
all is lvl 5
As long as your gear isn't green.
if YOU want to upgrade your gear, yes - but you can find random pieces that are past Lvl 5 if you explore far enough
plus you could have a friend willing to give you higher stuff and/or upgrade pieces for you
Aaaaah I see
What food are you using?
so yeah 58 whas the right one
I heard that it's not worth it to ascend starting armor or weapons, is that right?
if you mean the literal starting equipment, like the broken sword and stuff, then absolutely not worth it no - hell, I didnt know you even could ascend that stuff
no I got a dueling greatsword and some blue armor early in the game, my bad should have clarified
It's also nice to have some of those level benefits.
What's Thomas' actual level though? His quest to fight him is a 4 and the quest he guards is an 8.
His actual level is 💀
ah, then the answer is "kinda depends" - it will be more expensive in the long run to upgrade the lvl of those pieces from like 5 all the way to 15, but if you like the stuff then go with it
in the ||Swamps|| you'll be able to farm Tumbaga Ingots, so you dont need to worry about being super stingy with them - my personal recommendation would be:
- 1st - Ascend your Ship Cannons and Hull - these you can bring with you whenever you make a new ship, so the investment is always worth it
- 2nd - Ascend your current favorite weapon, provided that the "Ascended" version gets a useful perk
okay, I'll need to get a level 2 ship station then cause I'm capped at lvl 5 on those and I don't think it gives me the option to ascend those yet
is there a way to turn off the center reticle? I'd only want it for guns and don't see a setting.
I think you can Ascend even with the base station - its a separate tab from the "Upgrade"
ah, I'll check later today. Thanks 🙂
👍
do remember that you have to have your crafted Cannon/Hull IN YOUR INVENTORY if you want to be able to upgrade or ascend it 👍
Wonder if they'll eventually give us a bookshelf station or somesuch to ascend naval tactics. Kind of like writing your own observations in the margins.
We need a cartography table to share map info
I could see that.
Ship inventory does not count either. EMPHASIS ON YOUR INVENTORY!
How would people feel about fishing nets as a hull upgrade? Not useful in combat, but passively generate resources while you're moving.
Honestly I'm just hoping for more Naval Tactics - would be a cool way to flesh out the Vendors' inventories when we get the next Reputation Cap Increase
not sure if racist 
i was literally thinking the same
Honestly I could see it more as a Naval Tactic than a Hull Upgrade - something about the crew being able to sustain themselves via fishing 🤔
What's racist about captain whiteface? It's only a problem if it goes the other way
That could work.
Is there a best build meta? aka sword/gun/armor
naur - just whatever you have fun with
Also, I get why the wharf is needed to change out cannons and whatnot, but I feel like I should be able to start reading a different book while under sail.
Papa Shango inspired that design to be honest
could look at it less like you reading a book and more like you needing to drill those tactics into your crew 🤔
best way to farm palm seeds? there are any suggestions?
are workers that you hire a one time purchase?
chop palm trees
||download x-loot multiplier mod||
- start a "Resource World"
- summon your Frigate
- broadside after broadside
- walk and collect wood/seeds, go clear up any stumps to try and get seeds to drop
I've heard mixed reports that only the really big trees have a good chance to drop them. Unconfirmed, however.
My suggestion is don't. In the 200ish hours I've played I've maybe seen like 5 of them.
But then I also saw where a dude planted a massive forest, so maybe he just knew something I don't
i tried but there was no seed farming with cannons
big trees have the best chance its about 50/50 (and its the stumps)
I accidentally found a duplication glitch
i cut a complete island and get only 6 Palm and 8 the other
so you get it from stumps?
Yeah, see? That's what I mean, they're SO rare, seem to take a long time to grow, and then only give 1 wood each
Port gate. For screening crew before being allowed into my Pirate Town.
when stuff says "could be sold to people of tortuga" where exactly do i sell it? 😭
People of tortuga camp. Gotta explore and find it. I think there's a quest that will mark it, but idr exactly.
Anyone else are like "today im gonna progress main mission" only to end up building your base for 3 hours and logging of again ? XD
made my day 😄
ohhh alright 😁
\
The same way the buccaneer and smuggler camp can be found.
Yeah so like, I edited a character, played a while, and eventually made a different one and deleted the original. And then when I opened the game later that day, my original unedited character was back, in the exact state he was just before I edited him: same personal and boat inventories
So now I have a spare bore whistle and rapier of a thousand cuts fully upgraded
I love it tho its awesome
funny thing is, i found the smugglers camp on my way to tortuga the first time 🤣
Can you see if you can repeat the action
I like to dig canal man , increase the shovel dig range pplease
Already tried, because I wanted to understand how... Well, I can recreate it, but it just gave me the same inventory from the old save. It didn't update anything I changed
Very strange behaviour for sure, I wonder if other people have experienced this too and if we can find where the trigger for that behaviour is
my ship keep stuck on my canal because i cant dig deep enough
I'm guessing editing a character doesn't overwrite the old file and instead creates a new one
what would be the best faction to give my insignia to?
First time with windrose, absolutely
the one u want the items from
fair but i dont know what factions give what XD
all of them
go to faction, look at items, decide
Head to tortuga and check out all the provisioners, then you can decide!
its fairly easy to max them out at the moment, so just balance them out a bit
for sure, go there first then you have all the options in one place makes it easier to decide
ah ok ty i will look 😊
the game is not giga deep
Yeah, honestly, that depends on what you want first
Does anyone know if I drop an item in my city within bonfire range, will it disappear?
well honestly i want better weapons
Not if those damn shrub seeds are any indication
why would u want to leave items on the ground over time
Provisioners don't sell any weapons, unless you mean ship cannons
No like this key and mask on my table? I heard they will vanish after an hour but they’ve been sitting on my table all day
they dont despawn. if you want to delete items, you have to use the shovel
Shrub seeds
i mean those work too XD anything is better than what i have rn XD
Guys do we use media sharing to post video links and questions or just here?
just ask
they are doing it as decorations for their base, I didnt know within base area they dont despawn, thats pretty cool if thats true
So until picked up they will remain permanently?
Go sail out to sea and dump them there
just flatten with shovel
Yes it’s one way I thought you can add more decorations to the game
yup. have to use flatten ground with the shovel where you dropped the item to delete them
just leave stuff in resetting areas like mines or pois
What is the best build? weapon, armor, gun
the one you are best with
Amazing! Thanks!!
There isn't one
Thanks for the inspiration, I will deffo use that in the future thats so cool!
even the resetting poi doesn't delete dropped items
Depends on your playstyle, theres the one shot gun build, executioner crit build or any of the plague weapons are pretty good
does for me. idk what to tell u
Get decorating 😂
I like to shoot once and then go in, I like health & stamina to keep moving but dont like the rapiers cause it feels too light hitting
my copper cave that has lots of stone in stacks of 40 says they stay
dedi server issue
That’s funny, reassuring for me atm
I like the razor with dragon's breath, 2 pc conquistador, 2 pc flibustier
ended up picking them up and using it on the new base before I found out about the flatten shovel tech
How long have they been like that, and is there a bonfire inside?
more than 2 weeks and bofire was inside the cave
uhh he just laid down with me 😭 i need to give this man his own bed
Wait, what's this shovel tech?
The bonfire probably kept them from despawning then
even dropping it in the ocean doesn't really delete the item. its just that the ocean is deap that you wont see it anymore
Yeah I know, but if you can't see it, is it a problem anymore?
I run a dedicated server, I havent done hard science on this but dropped items do stay for quite a while. I dont think they should though. Regardless we should have a way to delete items. (I havent checked if they despawn, but I think so)
A door and some walls do wonders for privacy.
I have other places like is swamp where I forgot I had AD on the ground due to full inven and there was no bonfire there
worst of all is, its just a normal bed not even a double bed 😭 how did he lay down 😭
didnt even know NPCs could do that
How long for that though?
I've noticed some inconsistencies with the game's rules
The guy saw you only built one bed with two people present, and made certain assumptions. Really now, that's on you.
a day at most. some spots I forget to come back to until I feel like farming AD again
Yeah i've had the same when opening resource crates from merchants i didnt realise there was 10 stacks of wood in a pile for a couple days
whats stopping him from doing it again i need to make him his own bed now 😭
I did that once
Sometime they do weird things and throw behind me or on another floor xD
You ever drop an item to give to a friend and it just disappears?
btw. the shovel tech is you go to an open area, drop the items you wish to delete and just use flatten ground. it will delete the items for good in that area
Yeeee i was letting a friend learn my cannon recipes and when he threw them back they were on the roof behind him xD
I need to remember that
ok now this is just weird i just made another bed and he still did it 😭 why is he buggin like that
He hasn't figured out doorknobs yet. I blame the lack of coffee.
idk what to tell you. i delete my items all in my copper mine. walk in, drop the items, go out, go in, items gone
sometimes i have to restart game
brokeback caribbean
😭
he finaly uses his own brand new bed i, do i finaly get peace 😭🙏
the 2 bags of coffee beans I dropped last week in the ocean. posted a vid of dropping them last week
Lmao is it even possible to get them back?
maybe jumping off from a very high place? XD frigate isn't high enough since that's how deep I got
Gonna need a diving board!
Maybe one of those flying Blackbeard ships we keep seeing?
is there a channel/form where we can post/send suggestions?
its ok. I still have plenty more coffee beans for someone that doesn't go ship hunting often
Yeee its always the cane sugar slowing me down to make coffee gotta farm that on foot sadge
also, the food I eat are tacos and seafood platter. I have next to 0 use for coffee
Fair enouuugh! I like to keep a good stock of all the purples for content creation mostly trying different builds etc nice to have the extra stamina if your gathering thousands of resources
No use for coffee? That's blasphemy, sir
I might make a 2nd character to be the iron farmer. all stats on stam using the +15% 1h damage set and crude ring
coffee so goat'd I hoard it and use Swamp Juice instead
nearly pooped myself when i first jumped into hands fight
I just normally swap out the ring for the "uses 70% less stamina gathering resources" and a coffee good to clear a few mines
We really need the option to be able save builds etc as a blueprint, little bridges etc.. so they become part of the pre-builds
frankly I had an easier time with Hands than Richards 🤷♂️
the higher your crude and 1h dmg bonus are, the less strikes you need to break the node or cut down trees
havent attempted the fight again, only once. im upgrading my gear first
On that note it's weird there are only 3 prebuilds...
Also we need rope bridges with physics
agreee
bro why cant these ships just leave me alone why is their AI programmed to anchor turn just to go my way 😭
I certainly hope this gets expanded - ideally a PreBuilt for each style of material / set
if you back out to main menu and return, all non-quest NPC ships will have despawned - just fyi if you ever REALLY need it
That too, but I was thinking a bigger prebuilt hut at least
Something bigger than just enough for 3 merchants or all the crafting station upgrades
ahh alright, will do that next time 😁
because like 8 ships just spawned around me and they all went my direction 😭 i had to flee 😭
Or just use the invincible boat.
what
for someone that is red/green colorblind, these brolemonade flowers are diabolical to put in the game...
Your starting boat. Completely immune to enemy ships.
what is a blockade
yall know how to put songs into the game files, like add to the shanties they already sing on the boat?
there's no "drag n drop" way to do so - you'd have to build a mod that modifies the playlist to include your files - #│modding-support / #│modding-general might be the better place to ask
this would be useful feedback for an accessibility toggle - you should report it via the Feedback Form in the game's main menu
probably looking for Windrose cast calls
also that video was traumatizing considering all the crocodiles I've fought lately
i wonder if there is a player market for items yet or not
Oh god... They're hard enough to see without being colorblind
Wassup fellas
i wonder what could be that brings them out
it will remain a mystery
Without watching the video, they care about food, temperature and making more gators, so I'm betting on one of those.
did i just encounter a bug with the ''too angry to die'' talent?
a bug since the talents on cooldown.
you got staggered out of the animation from the plague area itself killing you causing you to avoid death altogether 
too much dying to be angry
Tried to kill you, accidentally performed CPR.
Rolling a nat 1 on the killing blow
chaos-magic. when the fireball resurrects the enemy.
Hi devs, can you please work on completing the story and not on work on shanties right now.
They are, they're putting us to work on shanties so we're kept busy.
they do both. see it as a QoL addition
People who bite the hand that feeds them usually lick the boot that kicks them.
have you considered that perhaps the people that are coordinating new shanties are not the narrative development team
hi
"lick the boot that kicks them" I'm taking that
mhm felt that hitting something that was not the target and has nothing to do with anything going on here. applies very broadly indeed
sea shanties are very important.
It is pretty typical though for gamers to be impatient or critical of developers who take their time and don't use live service models, meanwhile live service models are destroying the industry.
Hi Devs, Thanks for taking out the PVP aspect of the game. I have really enjoyed the PVE content 🙂 100% genuine Thank you for keeping it PVE and not turning it into PVP farming ark/atlas/conan
I’m gonna need all the shanty’s when I attempt to uncover the entire map.
no idea what you are on about. nooo
Holy goon🥀
it is sad to look at but im not THAT pathetic thank god xD
Oh thank the Heavens for that
Dueling Greatsword (Epic)(A) lvl 14 vs lvl 15 plague thrall:
275/415 Damage
Dueling Greatsword (Epic)(A) lvl 15 vs lvl 15 plague thrall:
315/475 Damage
just one upgrade is so massive, i don't like it.
Hidden damage modifiers are lame. if you use a lvl 5 or 10 weapon you might do 50 or 100 damage.
weeb final boss
what about the soul eater? I have mine epic at lvl 15 how do I find this?
...I mean, its poorly explained, but its hardly a hidden mechanic - if your weapon lvl is less than the enemy's lvl you dont do full dmg
how do you manage to do so little damage.
i'm very old and stupid
nah, like I said - the current tutorial doesnt do a great job of explaining "YOU NEED TO DO THIS IF YOU WANT PROPER DMG"
but once you're aware of the system, its not hard to grasp how it works imo
Fair, I just figured it'd be easier to get the things that I need if I upgraded my gear vs just leveling. turns out I was right cuz you need better gear to survive the swamps to get the goodies to get the exp to lvl vs just getting the goodies from the ruins and stuff.
Would help if quest level indicator would indicate that both gear and character should be around that level
That I agree with. but I'm fairly dense when it comes to gaming mechanics and I figured it out.
Sure, but it makes people think for a bit and then check if they can upgrade their gear and that without needing a extra tutorial
I think it's pretty intuitive.
I wish the game devs hadn't got it in their heads that they need to write books about every mechanic... People's investigation and observation skills have atrophied. 🤭
Typically, teams making a game is not made up entirely of developers, they have artists and Q&A people and all sorts of roles. Demanding that everyone work on the same thing is counterproductive as all those people are not supposed to work on the same things, and probably not even equipped/experienced enough to work on the same things.
whoever thought it was fun to design plague alligators should be repositioned in teh company, these are evil... side note, the swamp witches are great, especially how they spawn turrets
gotta disagree for this particular aspect - the tutorial touches on "now lvl up the sword you made", but doesnt explain why that is of any value, and for most players they'll have already found a weapon that is better and be using that - so the whole "lesson" kinda gets sidestepped
you have your graphics, coding, QOL, etc
What? The muscian singing the shanties is not doing ashland biom art? /s
the plague crocs aren't that bad once you upgrade you're weapons and armor per your correct weapons class.
you can dodge using ctrl button
Plague Crocs, imo, are only an issue if you refuse to or suck at dodging
-# edit: to be clear, I say this because I refused to dodge up until midway through the swamps, so its totally a self-assessment
Once I got the rapier of a thousand cuts + the plague pistol, I pretty much cruised through the rest of the game
yah they work me bad lol
Honestly I'll easily take the plague crocs over the witches, those totems seek.
plague swords > 1k cuts for end game
Mine is the double barrel pistol and the soul eater (all the noms)
plague pistol, oh that sounds fun. I need to get that one next.... but the witches are fun, so to speak, something different
instant healing 🙂
i like that heavy armor/shield swamp fighter too, thats fun to fight
Witches are fine if I can cut em down before they spawn totems - otherwise its just annoying having those totems stick around for like 2 minutes afterwards and effectively blocking off wherever I was going
Im probably late to this but why would they kill player communities like this?
I was wondering if there was a plague pistol
You can just destroy the totems
Plague Halberd is underrated tbh - healing benefits of the Plague Pistol but without having to expend bullets/gunpowder OR even hit an enemy
people ognna need multiple PCs if they want to host more than 1 server? Or were they paid off by the server companies 🙄
to prevent multiboxing because it takes away from the story and immersion of the gaming experience they wanted. "make friends" they say.
love plague halberd, its my main with thousand cuts sword
sure, but its just annoying and tedious - they should despawn when their summoner is killed imo
I have that one too, but I found it too slow for general use, I'm sure it's just the playstyle I like/dislike that impacts this.
I don't disagree, but once everything else is gone they're trivial. I usually kite enemies away from them andd then go back to take out the totems
idk what multiboxing is so guess ill have to learn something lol. My first thought is communities like mine, they can run multiple server from 1 PC and have lots of people join different servers without having to put them all on one and overload it.
So now we cant do that unless we pay the hosting companies for multiple servers...
need you jump to the most extreme conclusion?
its far more likely that they found some issue with multiple server instances on one machine with the current build, so they've disabled that to work through it - ESPECIALLY since some folks are going out of their way to blow any tech related thing out of proportion
Kill order Casters first (they're the glass cannons and will kill you while you're taking out melee
the coop system runs through their server, and it wouldn't surprise me if their hole-punching system to connect to local servers doesn't particularly like there being more than one server per machine
okay chat i've added some actual shanty bangers to the form, you dont have to thank me
I see what you mean now.
When something directly affects you its not an extreme conclusion. When something effects someone else and not you thats when its become extreme.
I hope they found a bug and disabled it to fix it. But if not it just pushes people to spend money on server companies 🙁
And since they are partnered with some of them... idk guess I wouldnt be surprised if that was the case. But maybe I am jumping to conclusions. Only time will tell 🤩
"paid off by the server companies" is an extreme conclusion to reach based on a single patch note and no other information, especially since Kraken hasnt given us a reason to distrust them thus far
Just submitted a sea shanty song
If one of them was "the wellerman," no thanks
oh come on don't be a spoilsport
I'm not much a fan of the wellerman admittedly.
it was an unfortunate victim of popularity and being overplayed 😔
anyone else seeing DLSS frame gen being broken after the Monday update? It doesn't seem to work (FSR works though)
Like every other remotely decent song that makes it to the radio
Yeah I think that's it.
Maybe I'll come around to the wellerman if I get to hear this crew singing it. Maybe.
honestly? Sean Dagher is the goat, so if anyone can revive that ol track for me, it may well be him
Randy Dandy-O, Wreck of the Dandenong, Barrett Privateers, Santiano, Cruel Wars, Northwest Passage - dunno if any are in Windrose setup but that is not for me to decide
No, but I did notice I went from like 70-90 frames to like 140 randomly the other day
I'm currently listening to The Keeper - A failing light, a gale, a ship in trouble
Hrmmm. I'm able to get FG by forcingit in the nVidia app but not via the in-game settings anymore. odd.
Yeah I didn't change anything, I just happened to look at the fps and it said 140
Not really, its pretty much either what you said or what I said.
Well theres 2 optoins: they disabled it temporarily or they disabled it permenantly.
If temporarily, then its fine. If permanently then we ask why. I would wager theres 2 reasons why. The first would be because they dont have the man power or resources and theres bigger fish to fry, or they arent doing it at the behest of shareholders and partners. Unfortunately this is how the world works. Other games have made exclusive deals with hosting companies even though its better for them to let as many people as possible pay them to use their IP and rent it.
Its not that extreme its pretty much normal and inline with todays gaming companies and their peripheries
Nitrado, Gportal, etc they have 1000s of computers, it will not affect them. It will affect the people that are building communities around their game that cant afford to buy another PC for each Windrose server instance they want to offer their community.
Anyway I hope its just temporarily because you're right, they have done fantastic and theres really no issues. 🤩
I'm 160hrs in myself and love it. Crashed only a couple times which is crazy for an EA game.
were you using the steam overlay (where it'll say FG instead of FPS when the rate is based on frame gen)?
Yes
odd, something's wonky 🙂
is there a reason why i have no access to the Feedback Channel
?
the channel no longer exists - general feedback is through the form in the game's main menu, and suggestions are handled at https://windrose.support/ideas
thank you 🙂
Story of my damn windrose career 😄
the 3 guns i've gotten have been D C D, most meele weapons have been A or B, except the one i was excited about trying, bleed rapier with C.
that rapier slaps though
I beat the game with it! just full points in precision, then crafted endurance food, and built around damage causing low stamina usage etc.
when are we getting the next update we need more content dang it
So for the sea shanties, do they only want a specific time period? or can we just request the entire discography of Stan Rogers, such as "Northwest Passage"?
months i bet, don't hold your breath
I read end of 2027 😢
i think they said it'd take like 6 months to start shoving out major new content in their devblog from a week or two ago?
someone is messing with you - roughly October of the year is the next update
so 1/4 the time it takes irongate 😄 we should be immensly grateful
Does anyone know what class A or B or C means on your weapons?
more damage afaik
ok, thanks. sounds easy, was more thinking of special skill or some, lol
idk how much better A it vs B or C though. you only get 1 of each weapon per playthrough
it reflects how much bonus dmg that weapon gets from increases in the accompanying stat
It's how much the weapon scales with the corresponding ability.
So a is same as b. but hjow yo use them properly
could someone with any random weapon craft anything and hit something, tell me the number, i can do the same with the same weapon of a different quality.
thnx all. will look further to this
lvl 1 weapons cost nothing to craft and recycle. 100% refund.
If both are agility weapons, both will get bonuses from your agility stat, but an A will get more bonus from it than a C.
no
a Weapon with A and the Rabbit will get more advantage from upping your Agility than
a Weapon with B and the Rabbit
if anybody wants to test in particular A or D weapons, to see what the biggest gap is in difference.
6 months. It's an actual small indie studio as opposed to an industry plant claiming to be one.
You can see tests of the weapon scaling on YouTube
Closer to 5 now, but yeah.
Anyone else feel the bar in tortuga should serve beer to us with animations bit like RDR2 ..
Pirate bar brawls and mini card games at the tables.
Just feel its lacking abit but overall just be happy to buy a beer at the bar
No doubt in my mind things like this will be expanded upon in the future.
I'm hoping so and I'm sure many things have potential
I just wish for more Pirates of the Caribbean easter eggs, but I think that's a slippery slope. Or transmogs, like Barbossa's outfit.*
I'd love it but think sea of thieves had right with them so have to go further away..
Look at Sinbad it's not been touched
The fact that SoT could negotiate and get the rights to some of it gives me hope that it's possible for Windrose.
Yeah I feel it could work 100% in future
... IP licensing, especially something like PoTC is just not gonna be in the cards guys
I'm more old school Sinbad is my pirate ☠️ days
"You didn't sail here on sea turtles, now did you?" For the 500th time
not really, no
Yeah it was nice to hear it the first time. 😅 Idk I just think it would be cool to see 2-3 graves with Jack's bandana, Barbossa's hat.. etc on like a tiny island out in the middle of nowhere.
what game is it?
That would be awesome. The tracker hat I believe looks almost exactly like his hat
help pls
sos?
Help where
I can't update my Windrose server. I've tried many different things, but it just doesn't work.
SteamCMD or windows native?
steamcmd windows dedicated server
am i the only 1 that had to go through the entire reinstall process for the dedicated server due to the update?
force_install_dir "C:\Game_Servers\Windrose_Server"
login anonymous
app_update 4129620 validate
quit
change force_install_dir "C:\Game_Servers\Windrose_Server" to wwherever you installed
I tried that, but the result is the same. I can create a new, up-to-date server, but I can't update it over my old server.
reinstall the new server copy and paste old world file only into world file of new install
I dont know why it wouldnt, are you sure you are in the correct install directory? I made that mistake once - I had 2 server installs
I tried this too: I created a new server, uploaded the r5/saved file to the updated server, started it, and all the structures were reset.
no
not the entire r5 file the world folder only if u do the entire r 5 file u will revert the server to the old version of the game
Game is just straight up freezing now
That's not right, I created a new server, an up-to-date one, then I just transferred my old R5/Saved file to the new server and started it. It works, but the structures aren't there.
you would think however they could make these dedicated server updates easier with less complications
if u are copying the entire save file ur doing it wrong u need the world folder only
Okay, so which one is the "world" folder? Can you tell me the file path?
if ur in discord and can join my channel share ur entire screen i can walk u through the process
is that on the side of the game/game-files or the server provider (nitrado for example)?
(i have no idea about any of this so dont mind me looking like an absolute knob lmao)
Windrose is so good i haven’t gooned in 2 days
i dont see how ppl are still playing the game
Why not bro? It’s a full on grind
True theres not a great deal to do
small imagination = small play time.
I've spent longer on building a lighthouse than the campaign took.
i really want a skill tree for me ship too, not just me <:
Thats not a good thing
It is, considering the campaign is no where near complete, and there are entire biomes we don't have access to.
what sort of ship-based puns have people named their boats?
not spending three days building something you'll never use
Where's the fun in that?
a ketch called "keith". more of an inside joke tho
my current one is "Frigate about it". We've also had "Bonnie Blue" (because it's full of sea men).
okay both of those responses are AMAZING
Thats the thing theres no endgame at all, its just enshrouded with less content and some boats
Mourning Wood
"What is the most unattractive name in the english language"
"Keith."
Survival game with no survival aspects is fairly pointless
still have this one from the demo. it was called "USS Driftwood"
Ketchup
coming onto this games discrod to flog your lil game is pretty self telling, blocked
....are..... are you advertising for some other game you're making on the discord of this indie game...? kind of......... aggressively pick-me innit?
@hardy bloom sesteyim aşşağılarda
oh nooo you joined a PVE game discord and are complaining about people wanting to PVE.....
dont start fighting over it please...not worth it
"wow i hate this game anyway come over to MY game discord "
<@&1354821664998817822> kick this Jockstrap
anywhoodle. Feels like a couple million people like this style of pve game [=
you can still see people's messages after blocking them, just an FYI.
Where can I submit ideas for the new update?
Doubtful. The playercounts down to 41k already
check the pins~
first pin in this channel
cool! Still, lot of us seem to like it [=

okay! I'll be doodling about it in in the meanttime. Sometimes you get a hankering for this kinda game.
eat a bag of pirate jock
damn hardtack
try it in a bearnaise sauce
Releasing a game with 50 hrs of content and expecting ppl to wait 6 months for an updates laughable tho
42%, not 90.
meh i wander over to other games for pvp -shrugs-
Not everyone enjoys pvp
and including or using pvp is not an accurate measurement of a games success
cant do simple math wants you to play his game
pretty braindead to assume that tbh
He's here to push his own game he's "developing".
i need help with multiplayer
No need to troll folks, let's behave and keep it friendly 🙂
nah, we dont accept people using this space to push their own works
#🤝│player-help and we can see what we can do 🙂
bless <3
Doesnt mean we need to be rude in return
Gotcha
Be nice, or the plank starts getting laid down
wonder how many of the explosive barrels i need to stack on a ship in the game to make a nuclear explosion
keeping a troll here pushing his pwn game is more an insult to the players actually enjoying the game
No need to act this way Jockstrap.
I'm not really on the up and up when it comes to games vs other games and competition ya know. so what made this game boom bigger than the ubisoft?
Thats because I'm not a game dev 
and our job is to ensure this place runs smoothly and respectfully
Expected more content from nearly 3 years of development
ah yes 'im acting the fool and receiving consequences for my behaviour, must be mod abuse'
besides being able to buy them, are coconuts a limited resource? I have Coconut palms that wont respawn coconuts. (I did not chop any of those trees down)
Only naturally spawning coconut palms will respawn coconuts.
chop the trees too 🙂 need coal for ingots anyway
what biomes do the moderators spawn in? ;D
Under the mesh
I may be encountering a bug them, as these are undamaged coconut trees that I harvested, but nothing is respawning, I noticed it happening yesterday but after a full day of being logged off it looks like the problem has persisted
The best way to play this game is to.... Enjoy it. Take your time. Don't rush to endgame in 5 minutes. I can't fathom why people just want to get to endgame as soon as possible.
singleplayer?
There is no endgame, just the end of the game
Yea, but I am currently hosting for some friends
so when your friends log off stay on and it should help the respawn.
so the world has to be running for it to work?
I had it running for over 8 hours yesterday
I think so but I don't know what the respawn rate is.
Uhg, So last update completely busted my game
Iron and copper have respawned since then.. I dont know, unless its like days in real life, it doesnt make sense, I really think it is a bug if they are supposed to be re-harvestable
first I could play while crashing every so often, now it''s just freezing 10 sec after loading in
beating the game is bitter sweet =(
Toad boss was boring
ashlands soon i hope
I had a similar-ish issue, but it was not loading my hosted server and just crashing back to main menu. I uninstalled and reinstalled, no issues since.
It's still early access. I'm sure more will come
I uninstalled and reinstalled also, still freezing
yeah i know its still early access but i mean all we have on the map is Ashlands
Just call it beta
Definitely a hardware issue I havent had any problems. Mine crashed once when I was building with a bunch of triangles other than that no hiccups
how much game play can that be
Can't be hardware, my PC is more than enough to run this at max settings.
Another 10 hrs prob
Apprently not lol
Internet?
A lot of people have been saying trees don't respawn at all, except for some divi divi trees, and a few have said they do. Ore seems to always be in POI's and those are set to respawn in about 6 hours real time, not game time. Most gatherable plants respawn too, but the trees don't seem to, at least for me.
You might be required to run around the coasts of a bunch of different islands for coconuts, or buy them from the food merchant.
I know maybe it's not super helpful, but I would throw in a bug report. They have a drag/drop for crash files and their instructions to find it is really easy/helpful on their website.
My GPU, CPU and RAM all passed checks, this happens only on this game and no other. I have sent them bug reports andboth the website and the report section, I have yet to recieve a response.
now I have to test this with intention.
All trees except for divi divi and plague dont respawn no
Just refund game. Better choice
its also possible that if your trees are within your bonfire range, they wont respawn. like the coconuts i mean
Well it's more like beating the demo right now.
Well just going to say I have rizen 9, with a 16gb radeon gpu, and 128 RAM doing just fine lol
Only trees that respawn are Divi Divi trees, Plague, not sure about Tarwood. Palms and Ficas dont.
Divi and Plague respawn.
Ryzen 7 7800X3D
RTX 4070 Super 12GB
and 32GB of RAM,
Been crashing since day one of installation.
trees and ficus dont respawn at all.
coconut palms dont either, only the coconuts on them do.
divi-divi Do.
tarwood does not.
plaguewood does according to someone in here but i didnt test that one myself.
Updated all your drivers?
Yeah everything is up to date
I haven't crashed in solo, but my server goes down everynow and then and kicks everyone.
Just refund and play something better like subnautica 2
I would say you have a problem outside the game then maybe something with the OS
yeah i just double checked, the coconuts are not respawning on my world. Maybe if they are supposed to the timer got screwed up? Unless the bonfire range doesnt stop when you no longer have access to the bonfire chest materials.
Nah, I want to see the game grow and be there with it. 30 bucks is no big deal for me
I'm sorry but Richards isn't a lvl4 quest
Check ingame graphics settings as well.
All my settings are at Medium with upsacaling, and Framegen turned off
I had this issue I always run a overclock turns out this is the only game I have to run everything stock settings for it to not crash
I had an issue once in ark that made it all choppy with like 30fps ended up being a vsync issue in the game
some people have said that turning OFF frame generation helps the game run better. I have been running without it and i don't recall it crashing as of yet.
I thought I could build, but I really suck at it compared to most. I guess I just don't have vision unless I have a picture reference.
I have scoured high and far for every possible "fix" all I find are crap AI/Indian videos that all repeat the exact same thing
Also do a steam files repair
this was the result of me breaking a floor tile and dropping half the old house, so I had no choice lol. Wanted to make something nice.
Yeah I have heard people say that almost as many times as I have hours in Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2
The Masterbethroom this is where the magic happens!
Windrose freezes and crashes primarily due to Unreal Engine 5 memory leaks, corrupted shader caches, save file issues, and hardware or driver incompatibilities.
Common Causes
-
Unreal Engine 5 Memory Leaks: The game often crashes when transitioning between island biomes or loading dense coastal areas because system memory can become overloaded, especially on PCs with 8GB of RAM or mid-range GPUs with limited VRAM.
xmodhub.com -
Corrupted Shader Cache: Early Access builds of Windrose can have corrupted shader files, which frequently cause startup crashes or in-game freezes.
xmodhub.com -
Save File Corruption: Playing on multiple devices with Steam Cloud enabled can corrupt save files, leading to freezes or crashes when loading or interacting with game elements.
playwindrose.com -
Graphics Drivers and Hardware Issues: Outdated or unstable GPU drivers, particularly on AMD Radeon cards with the latest Adrenalin drivers, can trigger Unreal Engine 5 crashes. Overclocked GPUs or insufficient disk space can also contribute to instability.
playwindrose.com
+1 -
System Resource Limitations: Running other memory-intensive applications alongside Windrose can reduce available RAM, causing the game to freeze or crash during complex interactions like inventory management, bonfire interactions, or mining.
Steam Community

nice little central bed board
My little coastal paradise
I wanna see some really cool workshops
MTV Crips %)
I'd show mine but ... The dedicated servers aren't updating I guess. IDK if that was ever resolved.
god i love just being able to get the pirates to the beach and blast them with my cannons 🤣
- Memory Leaks I understand could be crashing my system, but even when I have my memory Auto-dump it will still crash
- I cleared out the shader Cache, still kept crashing
- I only play on one device and I do not use steam cloud save
- Drivers are up to date, these crashes only happen with this game
- My PC has more than enough resources for this game's needs to run properly
есть ктонибудь онлайн?
So not alot then
7,700+hrs so I guess still must be rookie numbers 🙁
Help. My friend is stuck in Valheim. It's been 3,000 hours. He's still in bear armor. His summer home is in the Black Forest. Send. Help.
is rapier better than two handed sword?
gotta love those happy accidents.
Then I would flip a few switches in the game video settings and see if something clears up.. Like mine too in ark. had all this maxed hardware and it was choppy as hell. Got to poking around the game settings flipped a vsync and boom stopped all lag frames went from 30 to 240
After the last "fix" in the update, my game now freezes 10sec after loading into my world
do you have any crash reports or looked into the logs to see if there's any errors?
From what directory do you need the crashes from? I sent them to the dev team on the website and in the support section, it's been like 5 days and I have not heard back from anyone.
Anyone been searching for the Corsair/Jaguar rings?
Busy spending the £60m they made on prada bags
I won't overlook the possibility of them completely bailing on the project like a lot of other early access but I like to stay positive for the most part.
My body is physically rejecting the coffee on my desk.
I am not built like Galen.
they won't.. this isn't medieval dynasty 
2 of those 5 days would have been the weekend
Whys that matter? They should have support staff working weekends. Thats peak player count
I stand corrected, the support post was made on the 11th, on a Monday.
Clearly they dont care at all then. Just refund 👌
I'd recommend keeping the negativity out of here :) respect the staff and stop spreading misinformation.
Well they just saw how much interest there was from the demo and shoved it out in EA half cooked. Needed another year to improve content before release
By the time they release the content update in 6 months most ppl will have moved on anyway 😞
An Early Access Game is meant for getting a comunity of testers together to help speed up bug reports to assist with game development. The fact that people are purchasing an Early Access game and expecting a finished product has more to do with one's own thought process if anything.
i think the devs dont cae
It's not that deep. The game is fun, people will come back for large updates to see what they cooked. If you focus on one game and rage at the devs even though it's early access that truly is on you
They're using early access precisely to iron out these things.
you have to realize this is not a live service game. They take their time to fix things and do things properly.
You play through the story and move on with your life, it's how games back then worked and it's how survival games work as well.
they got the game out made there money and the people who want to play will stick around
its 2 trolls and 1 guy who came here to sell his own game - best not to pay them any mind
I don't pay them mind really, but it is fun to nibble the bait every so often
If you dont say positive things about the game you are a troll. Typical smoothbrain concept
You are not speaking ill of the game, you are directly attacking the dev team.
🍿
The devs don't make any more money off of the player if they play for ten minutes or ten decades. This is not designed like a live service game where they player base HAS to be online forever to keep feeding the microtransaction cash cow. If you play the game, have fun, then set the game down, the game isn't dead. You've just finished it.
thats not even what freedom of speech means
I can kindly show you the door with that attitude :)
you are free to say whatever you want but you gotta be prepared for consequences.
Constructive criticism is great, but if you're raging because the early access game you bought isn't finished yet, that is genuinely the most smoothbrain thing here
exactly
How is saying the game was rushed out with hardly any content attacking the devs?^^
Its not rushed out if it is still in EA... you can't be serious.
who says it's rushed out? it's literally early access. It was very obvious before you purchased it that it was not complete.
you've quite literally been slandering them by saying its just a cash grab and they've abandoned the project - thats not commenting about the game, its a character attack on the devs
