]Hello everyone, Open Sea Adventures & Kraken's Fall is now LIVE! This is the base system for the first phase of OSA. We will discuss the later phases RSN. This is partially a re-post of the beta/testing information, but with some added details. This system is not 100% complete. We’re releasing what is finished as of this point. We plan to add more to it in a phased approach. If you would like to know what is upcoming for this system please visit the OSA channel on the discord. There is a lot to this system and all its subsystems. I will not be able to fit it all in a primer, but here are a bunch of words for you to read.

First, the wikis. There is a lot of information here and it is probably a good idea to dig into it.
https://gswiki.play.net/Open_Sea_Adventures
https://gswiki.play.net/Kraken%27s_Fall

Take sail on the Great Western Sea and into the new Tenebrous Cauldron. Gather your friends and set sail on an adventure as you work to raise your reputation and notoriety. Purchase one of 6 ships: Sloop, Brigantine, Carrack, Frigate, Galleon, or Man O’ War. Fight Krolvin Pirates, Ethereal Pirates, and the Dreaded Pirates with the life of you and your crew on the line. Launch your ship into a vast ocean with your crew as you brave the perils of the sea. Will you set sail in a perilous circle, or journey from Darkstone Bay to Kraken’s Fall? Will you cast your lines and take your friends out and avoid all enemy ships? Will you attempt to be the most notorious Captain or Swashbuckler?


Check the document for more information with the primer.

Had my first experience in the open sea on Ragz ship. It was so much fun! Can't wait to buy my own.

Most likely an infinite loop somewhere in the code with pirates? the ships? who knows.

I've been having fun with this so far. Loot got an upgrade yesterday which was nice, though it's still much less loot than normal hunting. Mostly just having fun role-playing a sailor!

The concept seems cool and the actual combat is fun, but in practice, at least so far, it's like warcamps, but with 48327402 extra steps, a bunch of waiting and busy work, and with even worse loot.

Seems kind of stupid that chronomage is the only way to get there too, but I'm guessing that's temporary, since we're supposed to be able to sail from town to town eventually.

Has anyone fought some of the bigger ships yet? I'm guessing the loot gets better with the bigger ships, but would rather know for sure before I go dumping 483279027490324203 silvers into boats of greater pwnage.

For the investment this requires just to get started, the payoff currently isn't even close to worth it.

Methais not everyone is trying to feed themselves playing this game. You should do gay porn, I know you’re thinking about it.

It's funny that you think I pay bills with GS money. Not everyone is a huge loser like you.

That gay porn your mom and sister made together wasn't bad though, I'll give them that.
