New thing I learned about Guns of Icarus

[Indreams]

I've played GOIO for about a year now, and I still find things that I didn't know about the game.

For example, just now, I discovered that, when you are on the ship-screen, you can press your movement keys (wasd) to rotate the ship, such you can examine the bottom of the ship.

I feel like my words aren't doing justice. I'm kinda mind blown to write correctly. Try it for yourselves, go to ship-screen and press your movement keys.


I bet there are numerous other things that you've learned after having played for a while. Like, b to captain-target spot, the drums when other ships are near, etc. etc. Post'em here!

I didn't learn about spotting scope zoom until last week

I used to think "shake x spots" meant you had to shake your ship around in an area. Cue many frustrated dancing ships

When I first discovered this it was right after one of the patches and I thought it was a bug in the game till I got talking to others.

You don't need to zoom in with the spyglass to spot stuff. You can just click on a ship with the spyglass out

[Riggatto]

No I meant like when you are in the right click zoom, you can scroll up or down and change the zoom level, that's what I discovered recently

OHHHH ya ok I knew that. Ok that was confusing at first

Targetting reticle tells you stuff. like arming time. Did not know this, and I'm still not sure how it exactly works. But its a thing.

Me, Lueosi and InkJet have been recently updating the wiki quite a bit, lots of really good content is in there. No longer is it an outdated source. You should check it out.

It's like this is actually a multiplayer game that is actively being played. Thanks for the effort.

Tar must be activated by pressing button. Since when was this a thing?

- Tar Barrel is now click-to-activate on a 3-second cooldown

[Dutch Vanya]

But if you have tar on '3', and bind the activation to '3' it will work the same as it used to.
