[dense topaz]

Building is so satisfying in windrose can't wait for them to give us more to build with!

[viral yarrow]

Completly agree

[rancid sierra]

How many Blackbeard boats crash into that per hour? :p

[viral yarrow]

Funny thing is tho, on this bridge, i have 82FPS in background, if i click on windrose, its 93 fps average

[keen dove]

Is it faster to run to the other island or sail to it with a Blackbeard Ketch?

[viral yarrow]

Sail, its the whole game, i was just curious if i could build it

[keen dove]

Pretty impressive work

[viral yarrow]

I just wish they would stop this inability to place decorative items without a bonfire

[dense topaz]

Do that in tortuga just build right over the ghost wall!

[keen dove]

It is the same thing with valheim and workbenches

[viral yarrow]

Or atleast with a large amount of mates let us upgrade the bonfire to have larger area

[uneven pier]

whats wrong with moving it?

[rancid sierra]

At least stuff doesn't decay out of range of the workbench/bonfire.
Having to slap a bonfire down in the middle of the dock to add decorative items, then deleting the bonfire is silly...

[viral yarrow]

Anything that needs a bonfire is bnasically usless if its out with its radius

and all storage is shared within it, so its basically a need

example look at what i can build in this picture

verses the second one

[keen dove]

I don't mind the bonfire range because I am not a builder myself but they definitely need to add an option to increase the range of it in-game via grinding or other stuff

[viral yarrow]

Its a miner grip

I want to see more done on the ship combat front

[dense topaz]

Being able to upgrade the bonfire like the other stuff makes since to me

[viral yarrow]

Mean i would like to take over a iland, at one point, and build the uptimate pirate base

[dense topaz]

It would be cool if enemy ships could board us instead of just destroying our ship everytime!

[viral yarrow]

Why does this game look soooooo much better in wet whether lol

[keen dove]

What happens if you win the boarding if they do board you tho?

[viral yarrow]

THat would be really cool, but only if they over power us or are equal i think

[dense topaz]

So if you win you get lile 30% health back to keep fighting or try and run with

[viral yarrow]

I just really really hope they dont put in PVP or at least if they are thinking of it they dont only have pvp servers.... I love my building

[keen dove]

That means if you keep winning the enemy boarding fights on your ship then you are never in danger of dying

[keen dove]

Yes they need to keep it PVE I agree

[dense topaz]

Depends on the difficulty your playing on i guess

[lunar vine]

well if the pirates board your ship, and you kill all the pirates, technically, free boat?

[viral yarrow]

Maybe the enemy boarding strengh is linked to the module on your ship i.e. if you have lvl 10 on your boarding then a 15 will cream you kinda

[dense topaz]

I was gonna say something like that!

I have level 14 boarding party and they struggle with 15s

[lunar vine]

my boarding party honestly usually only kill 1 or 2 of the pirates, and i get the rest of the total.

[dense topaz]

But after about 8 hi level ships there's a good amount of loot to sell!

[viral yarrow]

What i would love more than the increased build radius, is to command your own fleet, even if its only like 3, your ship and 2 smaller ones

[dense topaz]

It would be cool if I could hire a captain to drive my second boat along side me!

[lunar vine]

at least until he drives his boat into mine when i was trying to turn into a good firing position

[dense topaz]

Like npc captain

[keen dove]

Then the ship combat would be even easier than it is now

[dense topaz]

Try the ship fights on hard

[keen dove]

I did, still easy

[viral yarrow]

This is early access tho, so we are at lvl 15, demo was less, i see this going to about level 30-40 ish, who knows what we encounter, and on that point they have already given a more supernatural vib, so Cathula and mega sharks and sooo much more could in the future

[keen dove]

Possibly

[dense topaz]

Leviathan!!!

[viral yarrow]

Imagine random server they host has a large prehistoric entity, brought back by Voodoo, or the kinda magic they have now.

[lunar vine]

id even love some random easter eggs, like maybe sailing along one day and you see the black pearl go by in the distance, but its too fast for you to catch up to it.

[viral yarrow]

They could even tie in things like Godzilla

[keen dove]

No Godzilla thank you

[dense topaz]

Disney missed this window! Just imagina a pirates of the Caribbean game like this

[viral yarrow]

heheh yea

[lunar vine]

you're exploring an island and as you approach a POI you see spock and kirk beam up.

[dense topaz]

Predator lands to challenge you!

[viral yarrow]

lol they are their cause they want to know why 1000 ships are called enterprise

[lunar vine]

or somewhere in the swamps you see the wing of an x-wing sticking out of the water.

[lunar vine]

oof that one would be gnarly

[dense topaz]

I mean we know they visited us during those days so yes predator

Final boss lol!

[lunar vine]

America Chavez jumps out of a portal with jack sparrow in your base and takes all your stored rum before jumping back in the portal.

[dense topaz]

Tho the final fight better start with the queen Anne's revenge and then board to fight blackbeard!

[dense topaz]

Not the rum! They will die!!!

[lunar vine]

what if he leaves you a jar of dirt as payment?

[dense topaz]

Nope I need my rum!

Maybe for 2 sea turtles

[keen dove]

But then he escapes to his main base and go kill him there

[dense topaz]

As long as I get to fight the queen Anne then im.ok with finishing him off on land!

I just feel like the final fight needs to be more than just a straight up fight like the first 3 bosses

[topaz gyro]

do you guys think windrose will have mortors and back cannons?

[dense topaz]

No! Back cannons will ruin the get behind them mechanic

[topaz gyro]

barrels maybe?

[lunar vine]

yeah i doubt that, but it would be neat to have explosive barrels you could throw in the water behind you like traps.

but they would have to be relatively weak i think nothing where you could just spam 2 dozen of them and sink any ship

[topaz gyro]

then again it could be taking the idea away from the creators of assassins creed black flag

[dense topaz]

Barrels could work but I like being able to get behind a ship and just chase them down!

It would be cool if lower level ships ran from you instead of fighting!

[lunar vine]

honestly what i want to see most when it comes to ship combat is some more adventurey style combat during boardings, like climbing up the rigging and swinging from ropes with a fly by slashing and stuff like that.

[dense topaz]

Or being able to climb up to the crows nest to look around

[keen dove]

Basically AC Black Flag. This is not a game produced by thousands of developers, we gotta keep that in mind tho. Also, the remake of AC Black Flag is coming so just play that

[lunar vine]

what i want to see added to ships in general is a utility slot, where you can put special equipment, like maybe fishing nets that slowly catch fish until your storage is full as you sail around, or cargo nets that give you a bonus number of slots.

[lunar vine]

never played it. this is just a wishlist.

[dense topaz]

I want an option to take some of my crew ashore with me! Like the boarding mechanic but for island exploring

[topaz gyro]

you have the pig whistle for that giga

[keen dove]

Or maybe you hire a crew member to follow you

[dense topaz]

Im waiting for the croc whistle

[topaz gyro]

for get a croc whistle how abaout a whistle for a savage pig?

[dense topaz]

I think there is one comimg

[topaz gyro]

my inventory was full so i dont get the joy of using truffles ;-;

[dense topaz]

I have heard about a second pig whistle so that may be what it is? Or charging one

[keen dove]

I make space for him, he is super useful

[dense topaz]

I carry the pig the shovel and the fishing rod at all times

[keen dove]

Why the fishing rod tho?

[subtle void]

I do the same but a lantern instead of fishing rod

[topaz gyro]

where do you go to fillet your fish anyway ?

[dense topaz]

So i can fish anywhere

[viral yarrow]

This one ??

[keen dove]

You can use the inventory of your flagship btw

[viral yarrow]

Click on it and use it

[lunar vine]

we are skilled pirates, we can fillet fish anywhere we want to.

[dense topaz]

Lantern is useless with the torches in the mines

[topaz gyro]

i did not i know my inventory full i thought it would become empty when it takes the 20 meat

[dense topaz]

And those are free no oil needed

[subtle void]

I have way too much fat anyway

[dense topaz]

Poor poor pigs lol

[topaz gyro]

aloe is used for making better bandage like in conan exiles right?

[subtle void]

early game I killed so many pigs for the skin and I've never run out of fat since then

[viral yarrow]

My wee fishing village

[dense topaz]

Aloe is for the tonics I thought?

[keen dove]

Unless you don't want the hussle of carrying wood and dropping torches everywhere, the lantern makes the process faster. Then again if you place the torches once then you do not have to do it again you can just go back to the same mine every 6 hours

[dense topaz]

Plus i have a huse ficus farm so wood is never an issue

[frosty bison]

i think i submitted like 10 songs

[topaz gyro]

in real life aloe can be used as disinfectant for medical band aids it could be used to make them better

[viral yarrow]

YES WITHOUT a doubt they need tro increase the sea shanties, cause its kinda irritating that a crew knows like 5 only, even if they make up their own

[keen dove]

I get 300 wood every time it is amazing

[frosty bison]

dont worry I made sure to pick the ones that sounds like they would be sung by them

[dense topaz]

I think i get close to 2000 wood when I collect from my farm!

[frosty bison]

didnt wanna branch too far off of the theme but i did request one that was about a different purpose but can be thrown in to repurpose as if it were meant for pirates

[topaz gyro]

are the shanties public domain? cause i fear that disney owns pirates life and sea of thieves has botsom bill

[frosty bison]

sadly i made sure to avoid those

shanties tho i believe they are more free as many people sing variations of it

[knotty harness]

The vast majority of sea shanties are hundreds of years old; they're firmly in public domain

[topaz gyro]

i would really like a item where u can fuse ash or animal fat to make make fertilizer

[viral yarrow]

If this game opened with a major update, this is what i want to see as a advert

[dense topaz]

That be cool for stuff to grow faster!

[uncut gyro]

That reminds me of something I saw in the patch notes: plants snapping to dirt. Haven't planted anything yet, but was that accurate?

[copper orchid]

Hey, am I mistaken, or wasn't there a space on the world map that tells you how many bells you have placed out of the allotted 10? I remember seeing it back when I first started playing, because I recall mentioning to my brother that it appeared there was a limit, but now I'm not seeing it anywhere.

[viral yarrow]

very minior and very obsure thing, i dont like that i cant sit on a stool and fish...

When i realised i couldnt it just stopped me in tracks creating a perfect fishing spot with chairs, table, and such

[keen dove]

If you try to build a bell it tells you

[viral yarrow]

lim it 10, when you build more bells than you have it tells you

[topaz gyro]

when you guys go out of pounds did you encounter a kraken??

[keen dove]

Nope you just die

[viral yarrow]

No i just keep getting one shotted, tried alot but nothing sor far

With no actual indication as to why

[keen dove]

Because you went out of bounds?

[topaz gyro]

whats your favourite gun in the game? so far mines "the plague pistol" shoot a target and heals you

[viral yarrow]

no not on the map atleast, just suddenly one shottted from no ware

[keen dove]

The game tells you to turn back when you go too far away out of bounds out of the map, wait what

[viral yarrow]

yea mine did, i was in bounds, but still died with a one shot

[keen dove]

Wait so the game told you to go back, you did not and you died. Sounds normal to me

[viral yarrow]

I did a Jacksparrow entrance

No i did go back, and skuttered teh limit, and was killed

[keen dove]

You probably did not go back fast enough

[viral yarrow]

yea, even tho i was literily traveling the line of the outskirts

[keen dove]

You could have fast traveled btw

[viral yarrow]

I am the captian, i sink with my ship

[keen dove]

I guess

[topaz gyro]

if the enemy pirates can have granades why not us? i would used granades if it meant using up all the ash i made from the killms

[brittle ether]

Blunderbuss, every time.

There is NOTHING more satisfying than sticking a traffic-cone-sized barrel into some lubber's face, pulling the trigger, and removing 1/3 of their HP, plus ragdolling them.

[topaz gyro]

do you have a plague blunderbuzz i found a dragon one yesterday it suppose to ignite your foes on fire

[viral yarrow]

I want the 2 handed plage axe, cant find it

got everthing else i want, but that

[topaz gyro]

the power to duel weild 2 guns would be interesting

[brittle ether]

Nah, haven't seen a plague blunderbuss. Might be real, might not be.

Couldn't care less, I just love me blunderbuss.

[viral yarrow]

naw would be to OP in this version

[delicate furnace]

dragon's breath is all that's needed

[topaz gyro]

pair with the long sword with a life drain aoe skill?

[delicate furnace]

tbh, even the soul eater isn't needed when you are maining dragon's breath. everything is pretty much 1 shot

[viral yarrow]

Think i have a bug, every ship i agroed is folloing me, i have like 8 ships now foolloing me

[keen dove]

Yes grenades with crude damage will be awesome

[lunar vine]

just go in a straight line, if they follow you forever then yes its a bug, if they turn away after a while, then you just aggroed too many pirates.

[topaz gyro]

grandes would be great at mining hard ores

[viral yarrow]

As i said i have 8 ships following me, its interesting they are lvl 2 i am lvl 15

and they are away dead

[topaz gyro]

have you manage to asend your ships equips to legendary?

[lunar vine]

okay no way to test if its a bug if they are dead. but also not a problem any more

[viral yarrow]

I am doing the outskirts run, i.e. the limit of the map. maybe that has something to do with it

[lunar vine]

is there any point to that other than being able to say you've done it?

[compact quail]

"i attacked the ships why are they aggressive"

[viral yarrow]

Didnt attack them, just sailing, and quit frankly they are rude, interupted my sea shanties

[compact quail]

attacked their noses surely

[viral yarrow]

Never

My seaman always was properly

showered

I really hope they have an achivement when a shark sinks your boat the first one the wee one.

And they say "Your going to need a bigger boat." better than the refference they have now.

[compact quail]

a shark is not able to do that unless it would be some undead space shark that is on steroids

[viral yarrow]

okay miss/mister i need facts

[compact quail]

i want my games with supernatural zombies and giant plague creatures to be scientifically accurate

[main sleet]

well you can mod it like that ig

[viral yarrow]

Arent the douned zombies?

drounda

[main sleet]

drowned? certanly looks like it

[craggy meteor]

I would like to be drowned 😉

[keen dove]

Eeeewwww

[craggy meteor]

Forgive me I went to sleep after throwing hands with hands

[keen dove]

Hands with hands makes sense

[craggy meteor]

Hard was easy, hard with multiplier I was hitting him with a fly swatter so

[keen dove]

Hard difficulty vs hands is manageable

[craggy meteor]

They both took one try, it’s just 5minutes in hard and 14 minutes on max difficulty

[keen dove]

Pro gamer

[craggy meteor]

Bored gamer* also what is “duable”

[keen dove]

Fixed it

[craggy meteor]

You still never answered what it was

[keen dove]

Manageable I edited my message

[craggy meteor]

It was a word before but it was just spelled wrong. I’m going to assume you thought due meant that and you changed it to “duable”

[hard drum]

whats the current max comfort lvl in windrose for your base?

[keen dove]

Doable*

[craggy meteor]

There we are! You’ve been spelling it duable the last 3 days

[keen dove]

35

[hard drum]

Thank you

[keen dove]

English is not my first language, also funny you noticed that

[craggy meteor]

Mine is 34 you snake, but max is 35

[craggy meteor]

In due time everyone notices

[sonic ermine]

WAIT What!?! My contribution to the pirate flag competition was removed!?

[craggy meteor]

Skill issue

[keen dove]

Did you draw a pee pee flag?

[sonic ermine]

No! A guys with a Kraken face holding a head...

[craggy meteor]

Probably just did it on a modded server. Did people actually draw for that thing? Or they use illustrator

[sonic ermine]

Well illustrator and photoshop. But thats not really the point

[craggy meteor]

To be fair… it’s a contribution. It’s like keeping your participation badge

[sour cairn]

hey, any tips to defeat pirates camp to repair the ship mission? i got the first "easy two" but other, with more pirates, even ones shooting at me when i block or dodge the normal melee ones, are kinda too hard for me..idk, and i got 2 blue armor pieces, 3 green, 1 bacpack, necklace for 5+ precision, lv5 green musket. lv 5 green rapier

[keen dove]

Upload it again, maybe your internet was not working properly and you though you uploaded it but you did not

[sour cairn]

2

[keen dove]

You should be fine with that gear, are you eating 2 good foods? Is your armor lvl 5 as well?

[craggy meteor]

so what you do, is literally walk backwards when they go for the hit then hit them 3 times, rinse and repeat

[sour cairn]

hm, not the lv 5 armor i think

[keen dove]

There you go, you should upgrade your armor, it will help a lot

[craggy meteor]

trust me you can beat this game with level 1 armor, it's all about the mechanics

[sour cairn]

it was just like darksould to this moment

[keen dove]

Yes ok, but for a new player that just start the game, upgraded everything to max before fighting hard fights is very helpful

[craggy meteor]

yeah, darksouls on ultra easy

[sonic ermine]

It was uploaded was in top 5 of upvotes.

[keen dove]

Not everyone are Gods at all the games like you @craggy meteor

[sour cairn]

ok mr unemployed lol

[craggy meteor]

still employed, just played games longer maybe

[keen dove]

Idk

[craggy meteor]

literally walk to them once they stop start walking backwards well looking at them, you'll see they'll never touch you

[keen dove]

Upgrade your armor, eat 2 foods and drink 1 elixir, have health potions and bandages, have gunpowder and copper bullets and you should be fine

[uncut plaza]

I actually want to see someone do this, high difficulty because obviously mechanics is the only important thing, low tier gear, solo'ing the last boss say since your lvl 15 would be an advantage on low tier bosses. I want proof of this rather than people saying Git Good.

[craggy meteor]

you want someone to record 40-50 hours of gameplay as a walk through? lol

[uncut plaza]

No I said solo the last boss for example

[keen dove]

It is super difficult, you can find lots of YouTube videos of the last boss fight on hard mode tho

[uncut plaza]

with low tier gear?

[craggy meteor]

gonna become a long 20 minute video that's for sure, on max multiplier last boss can be up to 30-40 minutes depending on the rotation on boss. It switches depending on your distance or how many times you hit it in a sequence

[uncut plaza]

Oh but it's dark souls on easy, remember? shouldn't be that bad

[keen dove]

With lvl 15 gear on YouTube, it is super difficult with lower gear, I never managed to beat the last boss on hard difficulty myself

[craggy meteor]

you have to take no damage, yes - Im on max multiplier haven't gotten to the last boss yet though

[craggy meteor]

where's my invite code

[jovial basin]

Anyone have an extra Plague pistol? I am willing to trade for it, imjust tired of farming for it on diff characters

[pine depot]

what's your gear setup and spec? i thought i'd use the plague pistol but actually never touch it

[craggy meteor]

make sure you have that backup save

[pine depot]

just host a fresh world way easier

[jovial basin]

Im using a thousand cuts build and want it for survivablilty. Basically precision build. Using drakes atm, but swamp+ leaves me with more healing desired.

@craggy meteor what do you mean?

[craggy meteor]

it is early access should always have a backup save

[pine depot]

did you ascend thousand cuts?

[jovial basin]

yes, lvl 15 and purple

[pine depot]

gimme 5min have to do something and then i'll check my storage

[jovial basin]

Made 2 new characters and swapped gear to farm in swamp, but after my main and 2 toons.. im exhuasted of farming for it

[craggy meteor]

I'd have to check one of my other characters, Im in swamps mining if I find it on this toon as well Ill let you know

[jovial basin]

Thanks

I wasnt going to accept it.. but after 2 new characters... yea, ill just accept it lol. The RNG is real with this pistol

[pine depot]

i know i should at least have 1 spare somewhere

[keen dove]

?

[jovial basin]

Ill wait patiently for you or @craggy meteor . I seriously appreciate it

[pine depot]

i'm stuck infinitley loading into my dedicated server XD

[craggy meteor]

if you have one spare, why not just make a base one and give it to pete

[lucid ferry]

Hello. Could someone please tell me how many islands there are in the third part?

[pine depot]

more than one less than ten

[craggy meteor]

the map tells you how many places there are that you have no visited just saying

[jovial basin]

if you press M, you can see how many Poi you are missing. each island has between 3-6

[pine depot]

there are islands with 0 pois or treasures

[jovial basin]

If you still cant find it, just use the windrose database to help you see your entire map

[pine depot]

found the spare

[remote tangle]

Thinking about starting a dedicated server. Does anyone know which provider currently has a good stable connection? Been hearing a lot of issues with GPortal for example

[craggy meteor]

your own

[jovial basin]

Sweet, ill dm you my code 🙂

[pine depot]

you can selfhost a dedicated one

[pine depot]

a824d865 idc who comes in i have everythign backed up

[jovial basin]

ok, omw

[compact quail]

nitrado.

[proper idol]

not had any problems with gportal

[jovial basin]

which poi are you at? im here but umm, lol

[pine depot]

Ok so i dropped the pistol somewhere in this maze XD

[craggy meteor]

where's the maze?

[jovial basin]

ok, sounds fun!

[pine depot]

this base is all the way too the right

you coming? i see you running the wrong way

[craggy meteor]

maybe instructions were wrong

[jovial basin]

i dont see the maze

[pine depot]

this entire island has been built from scratch xD it's next to the main house

haha this is actually funny to watch i should do this more often

[jovial basin]

This maze is funny but amusing. I hope its at a chest for comedic effort

[pine depot]

nah i just dropped it XD

hahaha i don't know where it is rn

[jovial basin]

LOL

Im having fun either way ><

[pine depot]

you sure you didn't grab it cuz i think i dropped it here and it's not here

[jovial basin]

just found it here

Its very elaborate and awesome. not gonna lie, its amazingly fun >< 10/10!

[pine depot]

haha now i know the maze is actually working i can't even find my stuff haha

[jovial basin]

LOL thanks for the invite. Im glad I came here. I do recommend you drop a few chests for the lulz haha

[pine depot]

for sure and some traps

[pine depot]

you should check out some spots

[jovial basin]

I will ^^

Im digging this basement fishing spot

[pine depot]

haha that was a mistake i was high and thought lets build a cellar........ not realizing i'm building on the coastline XD

[grand light]

I can't stop being amazed about the stuff you guys come up with!

[jovial basin]

Still awesome. Its my fav spot so far, kind of like a mini spa or hotspring

[pine depot]

same with the jungle area, that was also a mistake but i built something out of it

[pine depot]

go the jungle on this island that's the actual spa

[jovial basin]

i will, i want to check out the light house, its too dark tho

[craggy meteor]

it's a lighthouse, it should have light

[pine depot]

there's light

[craggy meteor]

see, no beacon but there's light

[jovial basin]

not inside ><

[craggy meteor]

quite literally looks like there's a light inside at the top

[jovial basin]

Whoa.. my mans is building a hot air balloon!!!!!!!

[pine depot]

that's classified!

[craggy meteor]

screenshotted and copied already

[pine depot]

damn should have minted nft

[viral yarrow]

Go for it, no telling the physics in this game

ACTUALLY either that or this is mas effect

[jovial basin]

is the spa across this bridge in this island or somewhere else?

[keen dove]

That's so good holy, you should post this here: https://discord.com/channels/1260209458924224542/1349751555691122688

[pine depot]

where i am

[jovial basin]

OMFG!!!!!!!!

[pine depot]

oi don't steal my trees XD

there's another island a friend of mine is doing and it's probably sicker than this tbh

[jovial basin]

yea, accidently "e'd" it. I planted it back tho

[hybrid wadi]

To whom it make concern..
Clears throat

You Lost The Game

[pine depot]

tp to the one where i am

[keen dove]

You know you guys, DMs exist, not everyone wants to see this chat filled with you guys trying to coordinate where you are in the world you are playing together

[haughty epoch]

does this game have plans for a photo mode

[pine depot]

i wish! Closest rn is hiding UI with / . there are more tricks to even get first person

[jovial basin]

How did you make this look foggy?

[pine depot]

it's a swamp island so the fog is built in

[viral yarrow]

swamp area night

[crimson pivot]

I played ot sparingly tbh like 15 Hours in 2 weeks but when i obtained tbe big boat i think it snapped for mr

[jovial basin]

man, some of the creations people have is amazing. Im flabbergasted on how creative the community is!

[crimson pivot]

The early Access is on Level witb the likes of Hades

Of how complete it feels and thats a massive compliment probably one of the Biggest i could give lol

[jovial basin]

yea, its a TON less buggy than Conan Exiles when it was in EA/Beta. Im honestly surprised that I have yet to find a bug. It is astounding tbh

[pine depot]

working on a castle near the main base but i'm not motivated rn to finish it (already has like 8k stone in it and it's just walls/foundation)

[jovial basin]

bro, you should, i want to see it when its done. Honestly, this place is amazing! Also, stealing this lighthouse schematics lol. I love it ><

[viral yarrow]

??anyone else see loads oof lines on loading

[jovial basin]

ngl, I think ill prob relocate to swamp.. these places look amazing

[pine depot]

this entire island just has crocs nothing else

[viral yarrow]

anyone else realise there is no fall damage

[jovial basin]

yea, its amazing tbh

[pine depot]

this is the size of the castle :x

[viral yarrow]

104hours in release, and over 200 in bet.... just seen this

[pine depot]

can't even see the other side XD

[jovial basin]

Thanks for showing me your place. I hope I get to see it again once its done!

[rigid rapids]

You can't see anything with this fog anyway

[pine depot]

compression makes it worse, on the screenshot itself can actually see the outlines 🙁

[rigid rapids]

On my screen it looks like a forest fire more than a castle

[pine depot]

it's just the foundation and outer walls

[rigid rapids]

Ey I hope it turns out well but I just wouldn't make big projects in the swamp cuz you'll have the issue of seeing the thing ur making

[pine depot]

yeah i don't like the location anymore, had the idea when i found out this island is just filled with crocs behind every tree so castle would be cool

[rigid rapids]

It'd be hella cool but it would be painful to record properly for the memories

And in the end that's what I build for

[viral yarrow]

You cant see the end cause the whether said no

[rigid rapids]

Nice pond I like the idea

[rigid rapids]

What end? The world?

[compact quail]

oh brotherrrr
they had to make a statement about suggestions
noone ever reads. noone cares about duplicates

[supple plank]

you should pin that vote page link in the announcement chat so we can go back to it far into the future btw

[granite sage]

Without PvP this game will be dead by this time next year

[thick plover]

what

[rigid rapids]

Oh here we go again

[rigid rapids]

Don't fall for it

[uneven pier]

that game will just lose the pvp crowd, and tbh, thats a plus.

[tight urchin]

The combat is soooooo slow

[rigid rapids]

Oh god ....

[uneven pier]

https://tenor.com/view/ginger-root-hook-dance-fishing-mahjong-room-gif-25514520

[granite sage]

Yeah? So ur gonna dump like 2k plus hours into this? There isn’t 2k hours of stuff to do. You can finish it all in under 100 hours

[craggy meteor]

50*

[thick plover]

they dont need to pvpify every singel pirate game there is

[granite sage]

Yeah 50 is under 100 isn’t it? Lol

[lucid ferry]

Thanks a lot

[craggy meteor]

lower the number shows more dominance in the conversation

[granite sage]

They could make servers for the people who want pvp. That way you PVE people can live in ur peace land

[thick plover]

they said there will be pvp settings for server i think but it shouldtn be forced on people thats not what this game is intendend for, you have sea of thieves if you really wanna do pvp

[viral yarrow]

I will dump as many hours into this game as i see fit.

That means i might not play it all the time, but i like to return to it and play.

Who cares if i really have 2000 hr in it

[granite sage]

Did someone say force? No. No one said that

[remote fern]

Are we talking about windrose or some other random game? Lol

[uneven pier]

yeah. Yeah im at 300 in a week. So what if you finish the quests in a 100hrs. Its a survival game, either get with the genre or leave, thats the way of games.

[jovial basin]

Anyone have an endurance necklace they can drop for me so i can make it? You will get it back

[rigid rapids]

It's just a braincell destruction speedrun

[viral yarrow]

At thius stage no idea, the random aspect as taken over

[knotty harness]

I wonder how many people think that Windrose could actually add "Hoist the Colors" That song won't be public domain for another hundred years.

[viral yarrow]

sooo who cares people are having fun let them have fun

Give me a hoooo raaaa if you are having fun in windrose

[knotty harness]

No.
People who are requesting it are doing so seriously, and are gonna get told seriously that they won't live long enough for "Hoist the Colors" to get out from under Disney's thumb.

[split charm]

Ooooh, did someone get triggered by the lack of proving grounds (aka. pvp)? 🤣

No way to measure someone's virtual peepee?

[viral yarrow]

The need for pvp disapoints me, aprentice

[granite sage]

No one is trying to stop anyone’s fun. You guys are straight tards. I’m stating a fact. By this time next year. So 365 days from now. This game will be dead asf and u guys won’t even be playing it. Bc a game without PvP needs a massive amount of PVE content to last. And this game has less then 100 hours of content. If they add PvP servers. It could last. No one said force PvP or take away yalls candy land😂. Let the boys who have nuts PvP. Make it an option

[split charm]

So be it, then. Move along.

[astral heath]

Is there a road map available somewhere?

[viral yarrow]

Tell you what see in in 1 year, and if you dont turn up we win.

[granite sage]

Sounds like a deal

[uneven pier]

Your really funny, please continue while I walk my dog.

[livid flint]

Did something change in the past week or so? I just logged in after a week and my game performance is bad now

[viral yarrow]

Well he will be here in a year so its live, so null point

[tall glen]

don't forget that the game is multiplayer and still in development, so new content, new quest, new story part, etc... the game can last at least 2-3 years easy

[granite sage]

And if windrose current player charts drop to 3k players or less I win. It’s currently at 18k

[split charm]

The need to win at something... is it really so bad?

[viral yarrow]

I never agreed to that.,

how dare you play the game you paid for the way you want grrrr

[delicate furnace]

what challenge?

[supple plank]

I'll never understand why every pvp'er in the universe refuses to let any multiplayer game stay pve, and have to force literally everyone in the world into their "ideal" game... which always ends up dead and/or over cheated

[deep rampart]

If I wanted a PvP challenge, I’d play a PvP centered game.

[split charm]

Because you project your own need to be competitive on everyone else. "You guys are straight tards" - yeah, we are, because we do not want your way.

[viral yarrow]

Its human nature to find compitition...

[knotty harness]

I'll never understand why people who like PvP insist that EVERY GAME must have it.

Atlas exists. Shoo. Go play that. Go on, go away.

I 2 wonder why we cant just love that fact we have a good pirate game

[delicate furnace]

Rust also

[viral yarrow]

Black flag had its day, let ne ones go

[tall glen]

the challenge in Windrose are not people, its the bosses, the PVE, its a soul like game

[granite sage]

Black Flag was insanely good

[split charm]

because of the PVP? 🤣

[granite sage]

The NPC’s are not a challenge lol

[delicate furnace]

where's why pvp is boring: you get killed, you cry, you return the favor. there is no challenge at all in pvp

[thick plover]

wich pvp guys apperently wanna ruin, its like everytime someone makes a good PvE game people go "lets add PVP" it just gives a bad exsperience overall, note everyone is competive players and just wanna chill and exsplore the world but no matter what you say PvP players wil often never see it that way no matter how much you trying to disuss it to them and im not saying that to be rude, they are just want a different playset not everyone else want

[tall glen]

lmao, have you ever play windrose in normal or hard ?

[dim vale]

Any game whwere you can build structures, out of nowhere in seconds and the enemy can't is, by definition, not a challenge...

[viral yarrow]

Black flag would fail toady

[knotty harness]

I guess we're going to find out

[granite sage]

Yeah me and my buddies beat it on max difficulty in like 35 ish hours.

[thick plover]

i wouldtn say fail but it wouldtn be so popular

[slender karma]

Yall want survivalist game with pvp go play dune, it’s got a 2nd map area that’s purely pvp. Leave Windrose alone, I can’t aim to save my life in a gun fight

[viral yarrow]

They are relaying on those that remember it. I for one am tired of remakes

[amber mica]

You could (if on PC) push T to target an enemy, helping with your aim

[granite sage]

Ark or rust would be a more accurate troll reply. Dune is hot dog buns

[tall glen]

nice, now you can go back playing sea of thieves

[viral yarrow]

black flag remake wil flop, either cause of no sales or refunds

[granite sage]

Read something about a real reward in the new remake of black flag that u have to piece together notes and clues and someone will win real money

[viral yarrow]

Nopthing i havent done a 1000 times in a EA game

[compact quail]

the last clue is inside the cash shop

[strong moon]

There's no reason why this game can't be both, it already has solo and host your own servers for those who want to keep playing the way it is, they can simply add PVP servers for those who wish

[granite sage]

Right? Someone with sense

[compact quail]

what are you talking about
having a game be pvp is not just "ayy lmao add pvp servers". never been

[deep rampart]

if EA do a real Tomb raider game again then i will consider EA as a good developer

bec pvpers will cry 24/7 for "game balance" taking away devs from focusing on game contents

How that going to work exactly? Everyone is just going to run a Musket and 1 tap everyone.

Just like you, perfect match.

if you need pvp so bad, download the pvp mod, put into ur game, see how absolutely terrible it is, remove it again, never ask for pvp again

[muted iris]

96 hours in game and i dont have enything to do ;c unisstal ;c

[granite sage]

Exactly

[viral yarrow]

No no they migfht like that.

[knotty harness]

How many hours did you expect to get from the very first Early Access release?

[deep rampart]

Poor children and their short attention spans

[compact quail]

will cry about how bad it is after being killed or killing the coop partners in any fight because virtually everything onehitkills the players

[knotty harness]

People being like "I want to play this game and only this game every day forever, even if it's still the very beginning of Early Access"

[viscid steppe]

if your goal is to bumrush the story, and then wonder wtf am i doing now, youre playing the game wrong,

building is 50% of the game if not more, added to that its in early access, meaning were not even at the apex of its intended content.

[granite sage]

Sorry I don’t want to stand around building a hot tub in a pirate game because I’ve done everything else 😂

[delicate furnace]

the funny thing is that there are plenty of games to play while waiting for the next update

[knotty harness]

Then go play another game, duh. Windrose is not a live-service game; it's not aiming to be the only thing you play.

[compact quail]

way less than 50%
in fact, you don't need to build anything except a very simple survival game base base

[amber mica]

Depends on how important the comfort level buff is to you - and associated stamina regeneration

[compact quail]

its not about personal preference
a games focus is not personal preference

[uneven pier]

you can fit all that in a simpe workshop base, dont get me wrong im a builder (300hrs says that) just saying.

[delicate furnace]

can also just reset the buff time by going on your ship

[deep rampart]

BuT eVeRyThinG mUst caTer to mY ToxIc OpiNionS No Cap!

[amber mica]

True but I wouldn’t consider a base with comfort level 30 or even 35 to be very simple

[viral yarrow]

Stalward I feel i need to ask what war/fight are you trying for?

[knotty harness]

You can complete the whole game just slapping down a campfire here and there as you go along, getting the buff renewed, and then packing up the campfire. Maybe you can even put it in the boss arena to have it not run out. Haven't tried that.

[uneven pier]

it is though, i have one while im still building my island out 😉

[amber mica]

You cannot build around certain POI, boss maps included

[compact quail]

you can have a 2x2 closed off room with all the decor items slapped into it nonsensically.

[knotty harness]

Then I guess you'd better be fast about killing the boss. Everything else I said stands though.

[storm magnet]

Not to mention that the nerfs from weapons will probably affect PvE players too

[deep rampart]

Everytime the pvpers show up this conversation gets old and tired af. Fr on god no cap

[fast finch]

Really glad pvp isn't gonna be in this game..really happy about that.

[viral yarrow]

If we won an argument, what do we all get in return?

[amber mica]

Unless the damage scaling changes if it’s “against another player” or something

[uneven pier]

not pretty, its compact but does the afore mentioned job

[compact quail]

luckily, and i hope they hold on this, devs already stated they will not balance the pve to cater towards pvp

[viscid steppe]

lets give the devs more to ballance for the sake of "adding pvp" wich should be nothing more than a playerbase mod.

[deep rampart]

There are no winners. There are no losers. There is just people trying to escape the garbage reality the world is in. Best one can do is not add to it

[storm magnet]

If the devs vision includes PvP then I'm fine with it. Adding it later on when the original vision did not include PvP feels tacky for lack of a better word

[amber mica]

I like the dodo head placement 🙂

[delicate furnace]

the nerfs always come is the form of reducing a weapon's ability. Which often goes overboard and results ins the weapon becoming 100% useless

[viscid steppe]

after 20+ years on WoW, ive seen the horrors that ballancing PVE for the ske of PVP ballance does to a game, i aint looking for it in a game that has gameplay so far from anyhting pvp related.

[viral yarrow]

How do we not add to the painful fact that is life.

[amber mica]

If I remember right? In D4 when you enter a PvP zone your damage against other players is reduced by a certain percentage. I thought it was a rather high percentage

[knotty harness]

Right now every weapon is viable, even if not optimal. PvP would destroy that. It would also make the discord even more combative than it already is as the community shifts.

[rigid rapids]

People are still arguing about PvP?

[granite sage]

Nah PvP would bring life to the game and thousands of hours to the game. When the PVE players quit the pvp players will still be there

[uneven pier]

Doesn't seem to from the FAQ

[knotty harness]

It's literally the Official Windrose Discord Pastime

[compact quail]

snape: everyday
or smth, idk, i never watched lord of the rings

we did bait them so...you know

[storm magnet]

Oh wait is this a recurrent thing?

[knotty harness]

Unfortunately

[viral yarrow]

this game gose PVP i will ask for a refund, not cause of pvp, cause of if its forced

[granite sage]

Well that’s a good thing no one asked for forced PvP. We said optional. We don’t want the larpers to be upset

[delicate furnace]

yup. every few days, if not everyday, some one will bring up pvp

[knotty harness]

Calling other people larpers seems a bit.. ironic

They are just terrified it will be forced. No one is asking for it but yet they are in fear of it idk why

[compact quail]

it physically cannot be forced
argument over

[split charm]

and a separate discord.

[fallow willow]

just gonna say this... I dont have a gripe against pvp i am well capable of renting a private server to enjoy the game in peace.. BUT lemme say this on pvp... that requires population and population means more builds and active ships and .. well its built on unreal and have any of you ever really played anything on unreal that didn't have bad hit boxes and massive build and player pop related lag.. think of conan ... you DONT want pvp on this game.. but i know you won't trust me on this. But you really don't... it would make Dunes lag seem easy,

[flint sun]

By creating a game environment that is fun, enjoyable, and encourages friendship, cooperation, and hope.

In my experience (Minecraft, Sea of Thieves, and as a spectator of various other competitive PvP games), PvP tends to attract high degrees of competition, toxicity, griefing, theft, and "So long as it benefits me, I don't care how it affects you" behavior. I know that's not an absolute. There are plenty of good PvP players. But the genre as a whole attracts a much higher percentage of the ugly behaviors than PvE and purely cooperative environments do.

Ergo, I don't want PvP. I don't want anything to do with it. The most I'll tolerate is an optional experiemntal gamerule burried in the server settings somewhere that turns on PvP, with a warning that nothing is balanced for PvP and nothing will ever be balanced for it. The instant the game starts being balanced, designed, or otherwise developed by the game devs for PvP... I'm going to be lookign for an exit door.

[viral yarrow]

You want to do a pve game do it

[raven dagger]

Devs have talked about pvp its so far away if at all, i dont know why people even respond to ragebaiters lol

[granite sage]

Conan was good. PvP in Conan was good for like a solid 5 years. Till every weapon got nerfed to the ground

[knotty harness]

-# Because of balancing those weapons around PvP lol

[rigid rapids]

Ppl are already writing walls of text

[viral yarrow]

do a pve game if you want to. either its going to happen or not. personally i would love you to progreess

[flint sun]

Sadly, because we really don't want anyone (Devs) to get the impression that the community wants it. If the people that want it ask for it, and the people that don't want it just ignore them and don't say anything, then a Dev glancing through the comments will see lots of support for the idea, and little to no opposition. Which sounds like something that would be positively received.

[split charm]

Balancing stuff for PVP inevitably reflects on PVE experience. That is less than desirable.

[compact quail]

zitchas why are you always talking about we? who is "we"?

[minor nest]

Bro you play video games shut up

[fallow willow]

with 18k hours in conan personally i am well aware of how untrue that is.. since the beginning lag was a huge issue with conan servers. officials have been a lag fest since day one.. lets not lie. combat at 300 ms once pop goes over 12 players is bs.. and worse .. 40 players per server isnt sustainable for pvp.. not really.

[compact quail]

https://klipy.com/gifs/jordan-stop-it--k01KS2JNH0MVVVE6V95VATC12Z8

[viral yarrow]

18k alive now

[raven dagger]

I disagree thats how devs develop games but theyve already said its not something theyll even look at til after full release so respond then 🤷

[granite sage]

I was on ps5 during those times and we didn’t have any lag lol

[knotty harness]

18,000 hours wtf

[viral yarrow]

I hope you progress this game

[frail charm]

[granite sage]

Conan PvP was good before spear nerf, black ice broadsword nerf, yogs touch nerf, horse PvP nerf, thrall nerf.

[raven dagger]

Noone has 18k hours in Conan lol

[knotty harness]

Oh, that would do it

[clear scaffold]

probably afk for 9k hours too

[granite sage]

Current meta is light armor and sprint attacks with 2H hammer and great axe. Imagine a game that had so many weapons that were viable and now it’s just sprint attack spam

[fallow willow]

to be fair i been playing conan since ea and running servers since that launched.

[deep rampart]

I love Conan pve

[viscid violet]

i have a long weekend this weekend i know what i will do this weekend 😄

[flint sun]

"We" specifically can be interpreted in two senses. The first is explicitly true, and the second is more vague. "We" as in me and my group of friends who are very firmly in the co-op-only mode;" and secondly very loosely speaking for "the generic group of people who don't want PvP." (I realize I'm putting words in people's mouths there. There's a million individual motivations, but based on my conversations, it's representative of many)

[granite sage]

WE WANT WINDROSE PVP

[viscid violet]

i have a few hours but non are close to 18000 😮

[split charm]

We don't.

[fallow willow]

actually i dont afk... its mostly rp time if im honest ... roughly 10k rp time and 6-9k content and pvp officials.. which we run a play through every couple months.

[raven dagger]

Windrose pvp would not be good lol 🤦

[deep rampart]

https://tenor.com/view/tonystark-the-adults-are-talking-the-adults-are-gif-12521013

[storm magnet]

Agreed

[delicate furnace]

and the same will happen here. as with every game that has pvp. someone will always cry about weapons being too strong in pvp and it gets nerfed to the ground then a new weapon will be the "pvp meta" and the cycle continues.

Do your own pvp its out their as a mod

[granite sage]

So add PvP but make no balancing

[raven dagger]

Have you tried sot if chasing pirate pvp?

[knotty harness]

As someone else said, you play video games. Enough with this braindead "calling other people larpers" nonsense

[compact quail]

do you have anything of substance to say outside of this larp spam?

[strange sinew]

PvP brings toxic players. That is why I don't want it

[knotty harness]

As we are seeing from Giotto themselves lol

[storm magnet]

We're literally seeing the example in real time lol

[frail charm]

I feel like arena gamemodes or something similair to sots gamemode where you strictly fight on ships would be cool but aside that I don't think just setting the pvp to true would be any good as the server can't handle a lot of people. That being said I am for pvp definitely just would have it like a gamemode therefore it can't be forced on anyone also

[compact quail]

devs will not create new gamemodes they said. next

[granite sage]

Yall are larpers. Ur panties are in a bunch over us asking for OPTIONAL PVP. You all immediately freaked out. Like calm down bro we said optional no one is tryna raid ur pirate larp base

[viscid violet]

their was a MP game with massive ship battles years back and it was awfull.

[raven dagger]

It would be terrible mechanically as the games not designed for it like sot

[viscid steppe]

even optional pvp is unwanted, it takes dev time away from things that we value more.

[knotty harness]

You don't even know what that word means

[frail charm]

it's more like with caves where it teleports you to a place that is designated for arenas of some sort

[abstract aspen]

reminder to be nice, people :)

[knotty harness]

The absolute absurdity of calling people "larpers" because they play a video game in a certain way when they also play a video game. It's time for the moderators to step up and make "PvP" a banned term or something.

[deep rampart]

Live Action Role Play has what to do with video games again?

[clear scaffold]

to satisfy the PvP crowd they could eventually add a CoD type of deathmatch mode where you just pick from a few premade weapon and armor choices and battle to death without ever influencing the PvE side of the game

[knotty harness]

I'm gonna beat 1K Hater to saying it:
Devs have said no game modes

[storm magnet]

Personally, I'd love to see more ship customization. Like maybe being able to buy figureheads like the skeleton from Blackbeard ships or the angel from the Brethren ships to slap them on the stock variant, and other visual options to truly make the ship our own. Maybe also being able to select a style of outfit for the crew because they still look like raggedy rascals with rusted swords despite being levelled up and strong enough to fight off a frigate crew

[raven dagger]

Talking about pvp is fine imo, some people have intelligent takes or are just genuinely curious and are satisfied with answers 🤷 just some children get larpy lol

[clear scaffold]

optional PvP setting can be turned into a new game mode.

[rigid rapids]

I'd be happy with just being able to fully customize my ship's colors ngl

Calls the people opposed to PvP bots

[olive canyon]

I can understand why folks that like PvP would want it, but similarly the folks that bought the game under the understanding that it would be PvE have a right to the product they bought too

not to mention that:

• it would be taking devs (of which there are only a few) away from the core aspect of the game - so definitely not just a case of "this would be a zero cost addition that folks can toggle off if they dont want"
• it would be a NIGHTMARE to do any kind of balancing given all the possible variants of weapons and builds, so you'd just get maxxed out players stomping newbies
• the game has now been sold and bought as a PvE Survival Experience - adding PvP ||in the complete sense where it isnt some private toggle|| would be completely changing what many people bought, and would open the devs up to massive legal headaches in a number of the jurisdictions in which the game has sold
• the devs have already commented publicly about PvP and where they stand (#💬│windrose-chat message), as well as the mod team here is very tired of dealing with the bickering that the conversation brings up

We thank you for your efforts clearing things up, Father Earth

[steel spire]

Well to tell the truth, that’s the truth,, your guyses aim and or game sense/awareness isn’t in shape, so it’s “pve and let me put a pride flag on my brigade”

[compact quail]

i don't. there are enough pvp survival games. play that
the rest is noise as it's not happening anyway
but i hope for ranked pvp so i can run around with ultradamage and invincibility on

[knotty harness]

Let me guess; you have a problem with pride flags, too

[storm magnet]

Beautiful. I'd probably be more vanilla and make my ship the Black Pearl

[olive canyon]

the copypasta grows stronger each time the "add pvp" convo happens

[clear scaffold]

unfortunately it's a bad copy pasta with 0 logic

[steel spire]

No but hypothetically speaking you’d rather add that then something that’ll improve the game

[craggy meteor]

well... it's a pirate game... if we're being realistic why is it in this game (why would it be)

[storm magnet]

Who even mentioned the pride flags in the previous conversation-

[steel spire]

It was a hypothetical

[knotty harness]

It's a really specific, very telling sort of hypothetical to pick

[rigid rapids]

If I'm gonna be serious I'll strip down the black templar color scheme personally black/gold and white

[steel spire]

I introduced it as an example, sorry you didn’t catch that part.

I just want female crew members on my ship, and armor dyes so I can look different from my friends who wear the same set

[compact quail]

u know the ratio of females on pirate ships in that time period was like 1 to 1 million

[storm magnet]

Oh wait, layered armor could be fun. Like maybe I want the Pikeman set bonus but I wanna look like I'm wearing the Tracker fit

[olive canyon]

be sure to vote on those ideas over at https://windrose.support/ideas !
I know at least the former has been posted for sure, and you can always suggest the latter

Tired of PVP bots. Back to PVE larping.

there's increasing evidence that it may have been more common than originally thought - still not anything close to being on par or straight up "common", but still

plus alt timeline, whole region in disarray, etc. - lots of good excuses that folks may work jobs they'd otherwise not have 🤷‍♂️

[compact quail]

i mean in trhe end. assuming we bend history, we both know the nr. 1 reason why people want female crew, or even worse, an all female crew
||goon culture, nicer expression for desperate thirsters ||

[split charm]

yup, we're tard larpers, true 😄

[crisp vine]

I used to play paladin in WoW: /casts Consecration

[craggy meteor]

what? why you

[storm magnet]

The only thing I could see being maybe an issue is that sea shanties would probably need to be re-recorded for the all female crew versions or a mixed crew version and that might take time

[olive canyon]

cant wait to hear people complain about losing their Boarding Action because they were too distracted by their crew 😭

[dense lark]

The game already have 75% less of playerbase

[void gazelle]

Okay so I have erupted my brain with more uploads about windrose now my brain is on max information and am currently hibernating

[storm magnet]

Damn did you see crewwoman #5 swing that sword...? 🥵

[knotty harness]

It's not an MMO, you don't see more than the 3-7 friends you play with; a stat like this doesn't matter

[olive canyon]

that was my exact concern as well - though I suppose if you have the vocals isolated you could realistically just layer a woman's recording if you have a mixed crew, and then just play her OR Sean if you have a full crew of men or women 🤔

[compact quail]

i mean hell we have people in this very server advertising all their pr0n websites with them naked in it in discord profiles
_i should stop checking degen profiles _
if i had any power over the world, i would put such people as far away from any other human as humanely possible
/rant over

[abstract aspen]

naturally. since people are waiting for the update after all :D like myself. i finished everything and now im playing something else, just waiting. thats completeley normal. After all its not a live service game

Thank god for this game not being a live service game

[rigid rapids]

Indeed I'm so tired of this live service black hole in recent years

[storm magnet]

I'm so tired of that business model. I love Windrose for how old school gaming it feels like. Brings me back to the good old days

def. gives the devs so much more time to cook and do things properly..dont wanna know what issues a live service game wouldve brought upon them in the long run

[rigid rapids]

The same ppl we can ignore now would be correct aka the no content crowd asking for more after no-lifing the game

[olive canyon]

honestly, I chock most of it up to dead internet theory - a disturbing amount of the "people" that come through any discord server are just Bots (like quite literally, I dont mean it as the colloquial insult)

[craggy meteor]

it was /cast not /casts and it was Concentration Aura jeez

[olive canyon]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1034861614018596936.webp?size=40

[clear scaffold]

@olive canyon how do we know you are not one of them? it's a good strategy for a bot to be calling out other bots

[crisp vine]

Concentration Aura is something entirely different. Consecration was the aoe that caused holy damage to enemies around you.

[rigid rapids]

What even is that argument holy....

[craggy meteor]

I know what is, I've been playing hpal for 20 years, the aura was a cast I don't remember consecration being a cast and it also reduced casting back then now it's just damage and slow

[olive canyon]

some kind of sun-based AOE special attack could be cool as a "Plague/Undead" counter when Ashlands comes out 🤔

[craggy meteor]

and what I mean by all this, why we macroing an instant cast

[crisp vine]

The /casts I wrote was just to indicate that I cast the spell. I could also have written * casts Consecration * 😄 Not sure why you even continue to argue. I was merely replying to the talk about casting fireballs. Anyway, enough off-topic.

[storm magnet]

I hope the material gathering in the Ashlands isn't as tedious as the Cursed Swamps

[craggy meteor]

Well we don't need to reply to noob mages

[storm magnet]

Everything requires crocodile hide in big amounts 💀

[olive canyon]

Cursed Swamps needs a little more tuning on Bromeliad (hopefully solved when seeds are introduced properly) and Quagmire Powder - outside of that I've not found myself "low" on anything, particularly since the drop-rate revision for Plague Croc goodies

[storm magnet]

Wait did Plague Crocs only yield one of the green goop thingy? I killed my first one yesterday and it dropped like 8 of em

[swift creek]

Ive used bromeliad like, 2 times in total. I do think its silly that its rare considering what it does, but still

[craggy meteor]

Didn't know of that either, I get 1 - 2 every drop

[olive canyon]

certain items definitely seem to still have their drop rates configured under the old presumption of MMO player trading, which just isnt the reality anymore - things will for sure get better as the issues pop up

[olive canyon]

yeah it used to be like 1 or max 2 if it was a like lvl 15 plague croc - much less forgiving 😭

[vernal basin]

the bro-flowers are quite hard to spot at times but not as rare as they may appear

[craggy meteor]

just farm 10-11 basically the same thing

[olive canyon]

I dunno - they are for sure hard to see, but I can also slow walk through whole "plague" areas and not find a single one sometimes 😔

[storm magnet]

Praise my desire for construction delaying my progress through the story then lmao

[crystal charm]

Anyone know of a good/best container for fruit and veg in windrose? (So far I'm thinking of using the storage basket for things like bananas, tomatoes, limes etc with salt and potatoes going in sacks)

[craggy meteor]

I use the sacs for all my storage just because I build 2x2s or 3x3s

[olive canyon]

Potatoes had to go in a sack for me, cause
but everything else I kinda just choose a container that makes sense stylistically with the area I'm placing it, rather than basing the decision on the contents within

[compact quail]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5I3BIezJ7aE

[toxic crown]

i've had that as well for that one quest you need like 30 took me over 1h to find them and yersterday i found like 50 in 10min

[compact quail]

female crew meme inbound

[crystal charm]

That's fair, I base my storage on what im putting in it (weapons, coins, and treasure get chests, leather, hide get bales fabrics, meats, cooked food and eggs get barrels misc items like fat and shells get baskets etc)

[rigid rapids]

I don't see a white flag so it's not accurate

[compact quail]

it is under the water

[wise marten]

windrose road map when??

[olive canyon]

I cant wait for more storage options - over in #🎨│creative we've found some good ways to disguise the existing containers and "make" new ones, but it would be great to have more barrel and crate options, even larger storage inventories, etc.

[rigid rapids]

After they figure out where the road should head

[olive canyon]

they did an #│announcements regarding the Ideas thing - so they're still sorting through all those submissions to determine what is going onto that road map

[wise marten]

we still waiting on ashlands n no road map in sight damn

[knotty harness]

"Still waiting on" my brother in christ they told us when it's intended to arrive and we are not at "still" territory yet

[olive canyon]

I mean, Ashlands is happening roughly October - we just dont know what else might be before/after that

[wise marten]

we still in EA would be nice for road map upto release ?

[knotty harness]

Acting like Ashlands is two months late is diabolical work

[olive canyon]

I mean... yeah, it would be nice, but they're still trying making the roadmap? 🤨

[wise marten]

are we still not waiting lmao , n no but all im saying is updates on where the games going would be nice

[crystal charm]

At this base, I even have certain parts of my storage areas for certain things (lower most area is for cooking ingredients, 2nd lvl is for other items and materials, top most is for processed materials like ingots, fabrics, powder and shot etc. Then I have one with two levels with the lower being for wood and the upper being for stone)

[rigid rapids]

I don't need a roadmap I'm just chilling until new content comes

[knotty harness]

They gave us an update on where the game is going: To the fourth biome, and in November. What's the point of a roadmap when it can change?

[heavy dragon]

What's the point of a roadmap when the sea has no roads!

[olive canyon]

bout to make a fake totally legit and real roadmap just to give folks when they insist on having one

[rigid rapids]

At the earliest* on the time but in general I don't see a need for a roadmap for a game like windrose it's not live service to need retention baits

[wise marten]

lmao to where the game is going? youre talking about a biome that has been in the game since beta , itd be nice to know what is to look forward after ashlands or to have a idea of whats happening

[knotty harness]

A roadmap is basically meaningless. Things can get added to development or removed from development at the developers' whim and now your roadmap is inaccurate. Also they're probably redoing Ashlands from scratch if it's going to take six months to get it added.

[rigid rapids]

Nah I bet it will take them a week and the rest of the time it's gonna be spent on a yacht

[olive canyon]

I'll be honest - I expect that Ashlands may be like 90% done, and that they just dont want the gap between IT and the NEXT biome to be humongous, so they're likely splitting the wait time a little bit onto this side to hedge their bets a bit

[knotty harness]

This is also possible

[rigid rapids]

I still think the yacht is the most accurate speculation

[olive canyon]

unfortunately folks are so entitled used to instant gratification now that they would rather get everything immediately as soon as it is "ready", complain about the state it is released in, and then complain about a larger wait period for the next set of content

[rigid rapids]

Time to load up the ship and go back in the mine

[keen dove]

There is nothing left

[olive canyon]

noice - personally I just bring a stack of wood and then place torches rather than carrying the lantern, but to each their own 🍻

[rigid rapids]

I've never used the lantern

[craggy meteor]

could be better, put it all in the boat then go back for more

[split charm]

Mine until there's nothing left, then find another place to mine.

[fallow wyvern]

There is always something left

[rigid rapids]

And then go mine copper when the iron is gone

[split charm]

WE YEARN FOR THE MINES!

[fallow wyvern]

But sometimes... it's to the right.

[rigid rapids]

Joke aside I'd like it if we could hire some miners with coins

[split charm]

After all... there's a song by Windrose - Diggy diggy hole. WE MUST DIG.

[keen dove]

The mine is empty

[craggy meteor]

sail to the next

[keen dove]

Bored to place torches

[rigid rapids]

What did you do with the stone btw or is this just pure iron mine

[craggy meteor]

you throw it out what you mean, screw stone

[split charm]

He got stoned and threw it away...

[keen dove]

Nah am good, @rigid rapids dropped the stone do not need it, I am not a builder

[olive canyon]

hoard your stone - trust me, you'll want it when it comes time to do a proper build 😭

[rigid rapids]

Good lord this is blasphemy

[craggy meteor]

a proper build? as in base? that's for roleplayers

[rigid rapids]

So many good resources

[split charm]

for tard larpers, yes

[fallow wyvern]

Gotta build something to store all that iron no?

[swift creek]

I just buy stone

[rigid rapids]

I buy stone as well but I'll be damned if I throw good stone away

[craggy meteor]

yeah a roof attached to a pillar that goes down the beach and add more roofs when you need more space

[keen dove]

Yeah I have lots of storage only 165 ingots from that

[craggy meteor]

Im stomping on this trash

[olive canyon]

might also just want to throw up a tower to make things easier to find without consulting your map - I have one at each of my Iron mines that way I can spot it from a distance easily 🤷‍♂️

[rigid rapids]

[craggy meteor]

why do I need a tower if Im tping to the base and know where it's at

[rigid rapids]

I don't speak min/max

[craggy meteor]

now you're getting it... min/max only

[fallow wyvern]

That sounds like some serious architect business right there 😄

[craggy meteor]

this is my baby

[knotty harness]

But why

[fallow wyvern]

Someday, you will be old and not even know who you are. But I guess it doesn't matter then 😅

[subtle blade]

The devs are afraid to add spears because of how OP they are. They dominated warfare for thousands of years.

[craggy meteor]

so basically right.... you'll eventually quit this game and wasted 100s of hours on this base, when Im just trying to beat it on max multipliers and different difficulties

[fallow wyvern]

It's not a waste if you love it

[knotty harness]

If they enjoyed building the base, and they enjoyed the base when it was complete, was the time any more wasted than time spent beating a video game on different difficulties?

[craggy meteor]

achievements feel better than building a castle that everyone has done in minecraft, trove or rust

[knotty harness]

To you

I personally do not care about achievements they are meaningless to me and I feel nothing when I get them

[olive canyon]

the bait has long become obvious guys

[delicate furnace]

I don't regret playing this game as a base builder and not really even finishing the story. but like every other game, I will move on and play a diff game

[craggy meteor]

oh I have all the achievements in that - decent games... I built a treefort so the trees didn't break my base

[delicate furnace]

this game didn't even have achievements but I played a lot mostly building diff base designs aside from running the dungeon maps.

[craggy meteor]

I played it to kill people, they sucked pretty bad

[delicate furnace]

hoping Windrose will have dungeon maps in the future

[craggy meteor]

games are fun

[winter zealot]

They need a lot more QOL stuff before adding dungeons to be honest

[delicate furnace]

no game is perfect. still enjoyed it

[craggy meteor]

I achievement hunt, so games like these are a break

[winter zealot]

Game is very enjoyable but still has a lot of.... odd design choices

[delicate furnace]

I know the feeling. there are also some in this game

[craggy meteor]

I just realized... CAN I FARM SHIPS WITH YOU

[keen dock]

Hi, guys. My friend gifted me the game yesterday and I just found out that we have a Discord for it. Any tips or tricks you guys wanna suggest? Would appreciate some.

[knotty harness]

Disable Steam Cloud

[keen dock]

The reason being?

[delicate furnace]

some players having issues with their saves

[keen dock]

So save locally?

[deep rampart]

Ultimately, no matter if you are a sweat, a casual, or a builder, all games are wasted time. That’s the point. Have fun doing what you do. If you aren’t having fun, do something else. We all have finite time. Waste it how you want.

[rigid rapids]

Take your time and enjoy the game don't look up tier lists and just explore and test stuff just "play the new game"

[compact quail]

https://klipy.com/gifs/gucciberg--k01KS2QKCHZ7HC76SVW9T6TPK9J

[olive canyon]

• grind out a few FT Bells as soon as possible - you'll enjoy having them available to you once you have a ship and start exploring
• when you make the Disassembly Station put down a lil storage box next to it. ALWAYS put vital gear into said box before interacting with the Disassembly Station
• ALWAYS carry enough mats to make a Tent - set a Tent down right outside any POI you think you might get killed at
• raise faction level with Smugglers first - this will unlock both the Naval Tactics and Hull Bracings for purchase for your ship
  • Hull Bracing: Keelhold and Naval Tactics III: Stretch the Supply are a goat'd combo
• if you find yourself dying to enemies above your Lvl, whether on land or at sea, refer to my above comment and make sure that YOUR gear is appropriately lvl matched, otherwise you're fighting with limp pasta noodles vs hydrogen bomb

[storm magnet]

Best advice. Just play the game and experiment with it

[fallow wyvern]

Always upgrade your armor.

[rigid rapids]

Look at the min/max anthem above

[olive canyon]

As they say "Time you enjoyed wasting is no time wasted"

[compact quail]

[compact quail]

eww bloatslop

[rigid rapids]

I got around 400 in palworld it's a great time

[delicate furnace]

yeah it was fun playing it

[craggy meteor]

I did the achievements in that game too, it was nice

[keen dock]

By mats, do you mean plant fiber?

[rigid rapids]

I'm not sure how many achievements I made I was more focused on the base building and pal capturing than anything else

[craggy meteor]

I had all the bosses it was nice

[knotty harness]

Materials

[keen dock]

....bruh. Alright.

[rigid rapids]

The selene boss is so hard tho

[craggy meteor]

Materials @rigid rapids I don't think I had trouble with any boss, maybe just had top tier pets

[delicate furnace]

I was playing tower defense style in that game. watching my pals use machinegun and rocket base defense mounts killing the invaders

[tardy crescent]

Dose anyone have issues with boats I’m doing a mission my cannons are not doing damage and I’m not getting damage but any other boats I get my boat sank and they lose boat health

[rigid rapids]

I got disintegrated by the moon beam more times than I'd like to admit

[keen dock]

I got a question also. If I progress my character in my world, do I need to make a new character to play in my friend's world or can I transfer the character from my world? How exactly does world-sharing/multiplayer work here?

[craggy meteor]

there was stuff to hide behind though... and it showed an animation I forgot it but did it before that ability

[rigid rapids]

Probably gotta jump on the other ship to find the objective

[steel spire]

Did we add PvP yet

[compact quail]

as a stark contrast to these tips.
they not bad, just.... ehh depending on playstyle

• i didn't make multiple bells. made one, went to an island, put down, explored, when island done, bell done
• the dissassembly thing... you do you. i never had issues not randomly monkey pressing buttons and deleting my stuff. place box if you think you could do a mistake
• never carried a tent with me. when i dies, i dies like a man and travelled back there
• i prefer an aggressive naval playstyle unlike most here, and suggest standfast hull and naval tactics 2. keelhold imo is the most useless and worst hull, why would anyone use it, lmao
• upgrading gear is a good tip

[young raptor]

Characters can be transferred between worlds and whatever is in yours/your ships inventory stays as well.

[winter zealot]

Ew no

[rigid rapids]

The beam wasn't blocked by terrain tho

[steel spire]

Holy Larp

[tardy crescent]

@rigid rapids I’ve got to sink 2 ships but I’m not getting damage and they aren’t lol it’s mad

[young raptor]

Progress on missions is shared, but that can be turned off as well

[craggy meteor]

it wasn't for you? it was for me or I'd go behind my pets to make them take the damage instead of me

[compact quail]

hello giotto alt account

[rigid rapids]

He's been baiting with pvp for hours btw ur just falling for it

[steel spire]

Who tf is Giotto fam

[keen dock]

So you're saying that I can use my own ship from my own world in my friend's world?

[craggy meteor]

yes

[young raptor]

Correct

[winter zealot]

How would I be baited? Im not replying anymore to him

[keen dock]

Wait, really? Does that go for the contents too? Like the items placed in the ship's hold?

[rigid rapids]

The moon laser attack is not blockable it passes though both terrain and pals

[steel spire]

I’ve had my eye on this game since ever and I’m disappointed we’re not planning adding PvP is all

[split charm]

Yes.

[knotty harness]

Progress is character-bound, not world-bound

[young raptor]

Correct

[craggy meteor]

I played when the game literally first came out, they might of changed it later on even a month later, only took 5 days to finish it - I still need to go back to finish the new achievements they added

[olive canyon]

I believe a Tent requires a few pieces of wood and a few plant fiber - the recipe is there in the build menu tho 👍

[keen dock]

FOOOYO, LESGOOO

[compact quail]

your goddamn monkey pfp makes me tweak everytime i see it and become angry

[rigid rapids]

Maybe idk

[keen dock]

So how do you get enough wood to make a pretty base? (My friend's already working on a base, he's short on wood).

[young raptor]

Buy it from the merchants you can get at Tortuga

[rigid rapids]

Oh boy

[craggy meteor]

There was also a lot of bugs in the game that I abused, I literally had all bosses and "raid" bosses. So I could of used a bug to stop the laser, I do not totally remember

[compact quail]

buy it or chop trees or collect sea booty

[knotty harness]

The usual way
Or you can get merchant contracts and buy it

[delicate furnace]

you just need the fast travel bells for places you wish to return to cause you are farming stuff like copper, iron, or ancient device since they aren't sold by vendors

[olive canyon]

Honestly, my recommendation is to have a separate Resource World that you just deforest 😅

[delicate furnace]

but also once you beat the 2nd boss, you rarely need copper

[rigid rapids]

I was late on the party I just bought it on discount when I had more free time on my hands

[deep rampart]

Or deforestation on an island you don’t care about

[keen dock]

So basically, get enough wood in one world.
Transfer it to the ship.
Go to friend's world.
Now you have enough wood?

[craggy meteor]

that was like 6 months in so yeah you would of experienced it differently

[compact quail]

u should maybe.... lend him a hand for that job with his wood

[young raptor]

Thats an option, once you rank your ships gear up fast enough and get yourself a handful of merchants i'd argue its faster to just buy it

[knotty harness]

More like
There's no such thing as enough wood. Or stone. Or Foothills Ingots.

[olive canyon]

yup - though I do it for more than wood, I also go collect resources like iron in a diff world that way I can use my Bells for what I want rather than having to drop them on a coastline near a mine

[rigid rapids]

I was also considering waiting for windrose to go on a bigger discount but 30$ is not much tbh so I just bought it basically day 1

[craggy meteor]

yeah there is, I got 4k wood and have too much coal so... and I don't build bases so I got way too much wood

[delicate furnace]

there are vendor shops you can build at your base. just build 10 of them and you can ship in 5k wood in 70 mins. more if you build more vendors

[olive canyon]

if the project truly requires a lot - both
order and have it processing, then go and do a collection run 😭

[young raptor]

Yeah, I dont disagree with that.

[compact quail]

in 4k? wild

[olive canyon]

they're just starting, they wont have the coin to buy that many vendors nor orders 😅

[primal siren]

Guys is there any possibility of us getting sea monsters like kraken in the future?

[delicate furnace]

other than that, go to an island with your ship and fire cannons at the trees

[keen dock]

I wanna take a guess at a few stuffs. Y'all correct me if I'm wrong.

1. Since you all are saying deforestation, I'm assuming trees don't grow here back again? So basically once you cut down a tree, it's gone forever.
2. Buying stuffs require money, Piastre I think? So you get those by collecting loot from sea by sinking Blackbeard's ship and selling them at vendors/merchants?

[rigid rapids]

Anything is possible but nothing is confirmed

[young raptor]

Im building my base out to a pretty ridiculous degree and have 10 of the material merchants and they are CONSTANTLY getting me wood and stone

[rigid rapids]

I was like that with stone

[compact quail]

2. yes. kill freighters

[young raptor]

Correct and Correct

[olive canyon]

regular trees (Ficus and Palm) do not grow back unless you plant seeds yourself
Divi Divi and Plaguewood do grow back, but only in sporadic patches, not always
Tarwood should grow back, but players have mixed reports

[craggy meteor]

nothing to do with the damn stuff, I have 3k hewn so just got 2k stone sitting there for no reason

[urban dome]

hammocks please

[delicate furnace]

once they beat the 1st boss, you can start ordering wood. and its not really advisable to go full base building move at the start of the game

[olive canyon]

my mans doesnt even have a Ketch yet, cant be recommending him to go solo freighters 😭

[rigid rapids]

He has lategame brain ignore him

[keen dock]

What's the ship hierarchy here? I've at max, encountered Blackbeard Haulers.

[delicate furnace]

also, I think they fixed the ficus tree saplings. iirc they give 10 wood now instead of 1. although I haven't rechecked it yet

[olive canyon]

yeah - I unfortunately "trapped" myself by starting my main base where you get your Ketch - now I'm too invested to move, despite there being far better places to build 😭

[keen dock]

No no, I do have a ship.

[compact quail]

ifk. freighters have a symbol

[olive canyon]

still highly unadvisable to try to go against freighters until you have at least a Brig

[regal lynx]

when windrose get a steam sales ?

[keen dock]

Freighters understandable. I can easily solo Haulers.

[craggy meteor]

I do it in my ketch... what's wrong with that!

[digital sedge]

what are people doing after they finish all the quests and exploration other than building. Me and my friendfs on our server did everything and built a massive town.. we have ran out of things to do and are bored now... feels like theres a destinct lack of content

[mortal mango]

1200 Submissions, they need to dedicate personnel to screening them. Reminds me of iCarly, they were screening videos for a contest, its taxing to go through it all, and it shows

[delicate furnace]

yeah. attachment to a base is very hard to break. I'm that way too with my smuggler's base even though I told myself I will be building a base shipyard at the Brother's of the Coast base after I finished smuggler's

[rigid rapids]

3 main ship sizes
Ketch (smoll)/brig ( medium) / frigate (big girl)
Gear level dictates how much damage you do to the enemy for example lvl 1 sword would be like a towel hitting a lvl 15 enemy but a lvl 15 sword would do it's full damage to the same target (and a lvl 15 weapon would be like a battering ram against a chicken against a lvl 1)
Your personal character lvl has little value in the equation for the damage

[keen dock]

The ketch looks pretty big in general. I wonder how big the frigate looks.

[subtle blade]

One task AI would actually be good for is helping to algorithmically sort and categorize that type of data

[delicate furnace]

reallly big

[mortal mango]

Never mentioned AI but I digress. The fatigue's gonna get to whoever reads the submissions, same way a judge is more likely to say "guilty" before lunch

[keen dock]

I heard that there's a mod for this "deforestation" and "tree not growing back" situation? Are we allowed to use that?

[delicate furnace]

this used to be 1 wood per sapling. glad they fixed it

[rigid rapids]

Ur allowed but not supported officially and if it bricks ur save ur at fault not the devs

[craggy meteor]

that's the point of backups 😛

[rigid rapids]

Just warning him we've had our fair share of mod users complaining

[keen dock]

Yeah that's fine actually. Just don't wanna get banned, lmao.

[craggy meteor]

there fault for needing mods

[compact quail]

its a singleplayer/coop game lmao

[keen dock]

Alright, I think it's time for me to get a Brig-ton of wood.

[mortal mango]

Well there goes my conversation, yeah you need to back up your saves, devs cant do mod support

[rigid rapids]

Enjoy ur time lad likewise for your buddy

[compact quail]

[vernal grotto]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PpejN5lBKSQ oh no he found our game

[mortal mango]

Find the mod author, talk to them about whats going on, instead.

[keen dock]

Just to be safe, how do I backup my saves?

[mortal mango]

I think I was the guy who broke the news, but yes, LGIO made landfall. Couldnt talk to the devs though, tell them to pay attention.

[mortal mango]

you go to where your saves are located, then copy the files and store them in a separate folder. I dont know where the saves themselves are, top of my head, you wont get to them through Steam Local Files

Im not on my main setup either, PC's in the shop

[keen dock]

Is this the save path?
C:\Users\YOUR_USERNAME\AppData\Local\R5\Saved\SaveProfiles\

[craggy meteor]

C:\Users\pcname\AppData\Local\R5\Saved\SaveProfiles\steamid\RocksDB if windows or you can just save the whole steam id - C:\Users\pcname\AppData\Local\R5\Saved\SaveProfiles - can just save your steamids folder too

[rigid rapids]

One of 3 things
1- start building
2- start a new character on a new world with different difficulty
3 - play something else

[swift creek]

Support website has backup instructions

[vernal grotto]

no point including the steamid, that's just confusing.

[spare bramble]

Vote YES 🙌🏽 on (optional) PVP

https://windrose.support/ideas/IDEA-324rceyy

[craggy meteor]

well there's somethings in there that'll bring your character to that state, the other one is the world - doing only the steam profile is saving everything

[rigid rapids]

I won't but I hope you get your desired outcome

[storm magnet]

I'm out of the loop. Who's this?

[mortal mango]

when people do this, ive seen most guys place % symbols on either side of pcname. Probably because most people will copy and paste into the address bar - and get an error for their trouble.

Kudos though!

[vernal grotto]

a creature of chaos

[spare bramble]

Thank you!!

[craggy meteor]

I mean I can do that lol, didn't know if bro actually needed a copy and paste

[mortal mango]

thats exactly why, you never know.

[keen dock]

.vdf file?

[proper prism]

this a real cat?

[craggy meteor]

vdf is steam yes

[mortal mango]

Copy into a separate folder, preferably on desktop

And of course rename the folder to WindroseBackup or something

[rigid rapids]

I remember the times when ppl told others to delete their x86 folder good times

[keen dock]

Okay, thanks guys. I shall now go and deforest nature.

[craggy meteor]

%LOCALAPPDATA%\R5\Saved\SaveProfiles\[steamid]\RocksDB\steam_autocloud.vdf I had done fixed it for you

[mortal mango]

err kudos

[storm magnet]

Do trees grow back if I leave the stump? Or does that not affect anything?

[craggy meteor]

you think after you hurt the trees feelings it's gonna grow back?

[storm magnet]

Sorry tree but that nice house is not gonna look nice if I make it out of sticks

[craggy meteor]

to answer your question from the sarcasm - it does not

[mortal mango]

Affirm, cut down the stump, too

[storm magnet]

Aight thanks

The Divi Divis are safe now that I can just buy tons of Hardwood shipments

[cloud vessel]

this still happens sometimes

https://giphy.com/gifs/LuckyBunnys-bunny-lucky-luckybunny-cOi4jFWQBBjBSLPWl6

[craggy meteor]

did you try verifying your integrity? or are you on a insider program? Can right click on windrose in steam - settings - installed files - verify

[native hill]

Interesting, I've never had that sort of crash.

The one crash I had was the UE5 crash report screen not that one

[cloud vessel]

I have done it

[olive canyon]

its a super long shot, but the ability to select an area and "copy" the contents as a Prebuilt Structure would go a long way - whether you found you've accidentally built like 2 blocks off from where you wanted, or you're moving across the ocean, it would be so nice to just copy/paste whole buildings

[craggy meteor]

that's an unreal crash report, usually has to do with something faulty like a driver - can even be using dx12 instead of 11 even though you can't set it in this game unless you do it under steam settings

[cloud vessel]

Does anyone know a fix?

[craggy meteor]

if you can get the actual crash log of it - look up how then send it to me and I can tell what it is

[native hill]

I agree. In valheim there was a blueprint mod that let I used quite a lot. If the devs don't impiment it hopefully the mod community can make one.

[native hill]

Check your driver if you are familiar how. If there isn't an update try reinstalling the current one and when it prompts select a clean install

[cloud vessel]

okk

[craggy meteor]

I told you if you can get the log of that crash, send it to me I'll tell you exactly what is, use ai to help you find it if you have to

[cloud vessel]

is it downloaded so i download it again?

[native hill]

I dont know the process for AMD, but with Nvidia you go to geforce experience and then select the driver tab. At the top right it will have a reinstall option

That is something you can do in the meanwhile while looking for the crashlog to send to Intrinsic

[craggy meteor]

yeah don't willy nilly uninstall nvidia drivers, they eventually start stacking up on your pc rather than replacing them... in short can make your pc slower over long term

[native hill]

When you do a clean install it wipes old drivers and installs fresh ones, so yes that can happen if you don't know the process. That is 100% user error

[craggy meteor]

nvidia doesn't actually wipe the old drivers, keeps it as a cache which is dumb on them. You'd have to use DDU in safe mode to clean slate it. Why most stores you bring it to even if it's a different nvidia gpu they use ddu for driver reinstalls because nvidias dumb "reinstall"

[native hill]

Interesting.

[surreal sierra]

nvidia can be kinda smelly stinky at times

[native hill]

What if you removed the driver via windows then reinstalled?

[craggy meteor]

windows leaves tiny files in the background too when uninstalling stuff, usually you have to search through appdata for it and they even leave files in program files so doesn't always uninstall

[young raptor]

The game is just barely a month old dude. Patience.

[native hill]

Thats true, I use revo uninstaller for that reason.

[young raptor]

Revo uninstaller is slept on, best program Ive purchased in the last 10 years

[digital sedge]

i get that, but ive had nothing to do for 2.5 weeks lol

[craggy meteor]

Yeah nothing fully uninstalls unless you use a 3rd party because the applications assume you're uninstalling it for a short break so when you install it again all your settings are still there

[young raptor]

Start over or build man.

[craggy meteor]

beat the game on hard with max multipliers. That's what Im currently attempting to do.. You will have a broken monitor but at least you'll have something to do 😄

[compact quail]

moving on

[cloud vessel]

finally anyway thanks i usually get it at the beginning of the game or shortly after hours of play

[compact quail]

what was the fix

[cloud vessel]

idk

[craggy meteor]

unreal engine crashes can be due to a lot of things but lucky for you it's not windows errors because those are annoying to find. That's a game error luckily so it'll be stored under the game. If you ask ai where it would be located which is under %appdata% or the steam files I forget which I can look at it

[cloud vessel]

here some guys told me just restart the game

[digital sedge]

we built a huge town already haha

[craggy meteor]

told you what to try, give you another 100-150 hours of gameplay even more

[sharp scarab]

Is it possible to get a NPC to farm timber for you?

[craggy meteor]

sick idea you should put that on suggestions for farming - and giving them their own little boat to sail over to farm it at locations with teleports that would be cool (No is your answer)

[rancid sierra]

Kinda?
You can buy a merchant contract for your base, and give him money, and in 70 minutes you can have wood.
And after you kill the first boss, you can have some more junk.
And after the second boss, you can buy hardwood and hardwood bark.
