Sailing back to Recap the Release of Forsaken Shores!

  • Today we look back on the fiery excitement of Forsaken Shores! We introduced this update to the world with a haunting trailer featuring that man of dubious repute (but fine singing voice), Stitcher Jim.

    Catch up with some background design talk about this superheated region of the world with this InnSide Story -

    Did you visit Stitcher Jim on Liar's Backbone? What about Grace at Morrow's Peak Outpost? Like Cursed Sails before it, Forsaken Shores came with a tragic tale to investigate...


    Forsaken Shores pulled back the Shroud to reveal The Devil's Roar, an area full of perils for all who sail there. We also added the Rowboat, a new way to traverse the seas. Especially handy when they're superheated!


    We also introduced a new type of voyage - the Cargo Run! These tasked you with transporting silks, plants and rum bottles whilst keeping them intact and unspoiled to earn maximum reward.


    One unforgettable moment from Forsaken Shores was our Developer Update read in dramatic style by Matt Berry. We're still quoting this months later.

    Actor, writer, musician and distinctively voiced gentleman Matt Berry is our very special guest host this week, giving you the lowdown on features coming your way in today's content update: Forsaken Shores!

  • @katttruewalker this update completely stoked my fires again for this game(pun intended).

    Having been disheartened with Cursed Sails and worrying about whether I still wanted to play, my first session in the Roar with @FishSt1ck brought all my love back for the game!
    From the design of the volcanoes and the islands, to the new items available and increased rewards for the risk.

    An amazing expansion and one I still enjoy now when I can get my crew to go there - Ashen Athena for the win!

  • This became my favorite area. There are so many threats to contend with, the usefulness of rowboats, and the lore baked into it was so welcomed.

  • Tango and crew sails to he new zone on the map. We land on the outpost.. Grabbed a voyage and story quest and went on an adventure.

    While sailing we admired all the awesome volcanic activity. We landed on the first island and I said to my crew "This is not so bad is it" and a huge burning rock landed on my head.. It was literally a rocky start but we had fun. Exploring the new islands and the Rowboat race hehe which I lost cause of course a rock landed on my head again :s.

    Cheers,
    Tango

  • I've had found the Box of Wonderous Secrets while the Event.

    I found box of Secrets 1st day in the Roar. Had no clue what it was.

    Remember how hard the roar used to be though?
    I Also finished the 200 cargo runs during that event and with how active everything was made it very tense..

    Devils Roar was great event !

  • @katttruewalker honestly the best part of the roar was that dev update video, I am still having nightmares from those DR rum deliveries I recently completed right before the recent patch that increased the value and the resitance to damage for them xD

    I sailed over an hour with it on board and finished my OoS mission first to sell all at Morrows Peak where a Galleon lays. I was solo in a sloop and thought damn f... they are lucky now and get the best booty they can think of.
    But they were friendly, doing jokes and i thought they just trick me.
    I took all my Courage and just went to sell it and i went wrong to the gold hoarder, to the merchant and still the whole galleon crew were around.
    I began to sweat, my heart bumped.
    It's about 20 years ago when my heart bumped that way because of a freaking Videogame😂
    And then i sold it and couldnt believe this went good for me 😎😎😎
    Intense it was, and the game does well about these moments.

    That is amazing....WOW you must have nerves of steel...I almost lost our Box of secrets 3 times bringing it back to outpost.

    I actually tried to talk @creepyweirdguy2 into just leaving it behind the 2nd time we got sunk by lava rocks. He talked me into going back for it and man im glad he did...
    (never seen one since) the last time we got sunk we were at outpost and meg knocked us off sloop into boiling water,while we were taking pics with box of secrets. Good thing we spawned in water by outpost or this story would have horrible ending.
