#V Rising 1.0 server
1 messages Β· Page 2 of 1
Gonna have a chest meant for others to be able to take whatever if they visit my castles, like this:
What's the timetable, specific hours, for PvP during the weekends?
"Free Stuff Here" (don't mind the traps)
Should be 1pm UTC to 1am UTC
Thanks for the info.
yep, it's set to 3pm to 3am local server time, which is UTC+2
aka CEST
Central European Summer Time
If it's helpful, I plugged it in here to check the times for the first PVP day!
Start Time: <t:1715432400:t>
End Time: <t:1715475600:t>
Should be in local time for anyone looking at it!
(Leafein and Zangiry, if the time stamps are at all wrong, please let me know! I can edit them.)
hammertime works fine ^^
yup, as long as you put in the correct time from the start π
if it works correctly on the server, it should be
3 pm saturday to 3am sunday (server time)
3 pm sunday to 3am monday (server time)
as i assume it won't count friday as weekend
gives Mai cookies

Gotta mention for @novel jungle that there seems to be some lagging on the server. Don't know if it's just temporary, but many people seem to have gotten it
Also not meant to be "hurry up and do something", it's not extremely bad, just worthy of information
most likely whenever steam "auto updates" games
As in, it's happening on your end because of extra network traffic?
or it may be the people upstairs downloading something xD
Honestly seems to have fixed itself for me
Would make sense that it was something like that
not my internet essentially, even though i do pay for half of it.
Not that those of us playing on the server should complain too much XD
they had 45/45 when i moved in, i pay for the upgrade to 100/100, which later were upgraded to 150/150 by the ISP
Is there a list with the server rules?
mostly so i can send it to my friend with who im going to be playing with
dont want to unknowingly break the rules
I don't think there's any explicit server rules (beyond the ruleset the game runs under). But I guess "Be dapper to each other" could suffice?
If it's important to get an answer soon-ish I think you could pink/ask Leafein
Leaf or Mai
they are essentially the server managers
i just host it
but when no rules has been defined, the usual Dapperlings rule is "Don't be a dick"
essentially "Be Dapper"
Rule 1: If you kill someone, give them a grace period afterwards. If you see them again shortly, let them be. Unless of course they are out for revenge. Then all's fair play.
Rule 2: Alongside the first rule, unless there are certain reasonable conditions, don't just go out of your way to hunt someone specifically over and over again.
Rule 3: If there is a community event going on, unless otherwise specified, don't kill others for the time being. It's not fun for anyone to miss out on a community event like that.
Rule 4: Just don't be a dick.
as you can see, most of those rules really only applies during active PVP at weekends
@snow knot
Mai's message should answer your question π
Rule 0: Just be dapper

Don't be a dick is a good catch-em-all rule.
So, how many on the server are interested in PvP? I think I'm just going to use that time to decorate my castle π Do people have any plans for duels? Perhaps in the arena/colosseum?
I will absolutely be up for duels
πͺ
What's your level? I've never done any pvp and most definitely suck at it, but who knows, I might be willing to die once.
Very high, but it's based on gear, so I can always make lower level gear to match ^^
i select Bajos at 10 paces

My gear is total level 61.
Very high gear already? π€― Wow! I'm a professional faffer, takes me weeks to progress very high.
I mean we did unlock dark silver last night π
Leafeins mouse go brrrrrrr
Arena sounds like a good time
People who are good can show of their skills and people who suck (me) can watch xD
What im trying to say is I want you all to fight for my amusement
Hmm...I was about to say "Ooh, I'll come spectate," but now it sounds a liiiittle too dangerous. XD
Danger is not my middle name XD
any tips for a new player just joining the server now?
new in the game in general?
For new players my main suggestion is to not feel forced into a specific playstyle. The game has many weapons and abilities. A lot of enemies have different resistances, abilities and moves. Be willing to try out different kits to tackle what's ahead of you.
Also dont' be afraid to ask for help
fair thank you
The most fun can be had when people come together to do stuff. Mostly because it becomes a bit more chaos
That was not meant to imply that you can't have the most fun alone
i'm hoping we do some arena
I wonder if setting the HeightLimit on the castles up a bit (personally I think 6 would be fine, it's not like you get more tiles to use with that) would be possible. As I said before the server started I think it would make some more interesting castle designs possible.
Those 4 stories is a bit of a "hack" as well, as the game stops you from building higher than setting above the top ground on your plot. So the setting is at 3 now, with the maximum you can change it to in the GUI being 6. (And yes, you can change it to much higher in the config file XD )
Personally I'm a fan of more height more better, but I can recognize that being somewhat moderate has its uses as well.
PSA: There is a bug with Gorecrusher. No current idea how/why but he just vanished (not invis, but went away) mid-combat.
EDIT: It has to do with his patrol path.
goreswinger you mean, or is there another that is called gorecrusher?
Gorecrusher the V Blood
this one?
(if there isn't another, it turns out we both memorised its name wrong)
Fear the Mai, as she has powers and prowess
yeah, evidently
much 'fraid
also, lentril, i've managed to visit your base, looking good that bridge
I'm slightly sad I can't hop on for a few days
Trying to keep two bases is a lot of work. But I ended up figuring that it was a bit useful to have a FOB that was more than just a place to stash stuff until I could move them in larger quantities, so I do have a base in Dunley that's more developed than the Silverlight Hills one (even though I'm planning on making the Silverlight castle just the prettiest castle. But that requires some options that get unlocked with involuntary blood donations
The Dunley base has a chest with some T1 books that are free to grab, in a chest called something like "free stuff"
I still want taller castles, Zangiry ;P
"Free Stuff Here, now get your shit and get out"
I figured the books are kinda more useful being given out to people that need them than fed to The Devourer
not up to me xD
i'm just hosting it, the server essentially belongs to Leafein and Mai
BTW, how should one properly thank you for hosting it?
it doesn't cost me anything to do so, other than electricity, which would be used anyways xD
In keeping with the theme of the game; donating blood?
"Pay it Forward" π
BTW, seems like the Haunted Nights Castle Pack is available for free for everyone to add to their game if you want some "halloween themed" castle stuff. Get yours while supplies last ;P
I should bring a bunch of the tier 2 gems to the station...
our jewel box is constantly full π
fun discovery tonight - apparently pvp is profanity!
Besides have fun and gain skills and grow powerful, is there actually a goal in V Rising? some ending condition?
||Defeat Dracula||
cool
Poor ||Dracula|| :( You get a tiny bit genocidal because your wife gets burned alive/tricked into unaliving herself, and the world never lets you hear the end of it T_T
Until we all wait for the weekend and hide in the castle in disguises to take over >:]
Mai or Leafein, could you be amenable to this? I don't see how it would have much, if any, gameplay impact. I would think it would just expand the creative space for castle building.
How do I get grass tiles, or grow tiles. Won't let me place in unowned land, and the foundation ruins the grass
Grass tiles are given by Polora, IIRC
Don't remember if you can use the "no tile" tile on the ground
I've been avoiding her. her owls are annoying
I thought she summoned butterflies
But yeah, I found her annoying to fight in EA. Didn't find her as annoying to fight when I did it on this server.
You can always send out at call in game to see if others are willing to help
You can have two castles for a total of six floors π
I think you're missing the point. The point is the verticality
We already have the same limit of amount of tiles we can use
Nobody would really get more space by allowing more levels, because that's restricted by the tiles limits.
My vote is no, but I'm willing to be swayed. Shall we vote?
I just really can't see any compelling reason not to allow more creative freedom with it. If you have any reasons why you don't think people should be able to build up to 6 stories tall I'm all for hearing them.
And the reasons I used the number 6 is because that's what is the limit in the GUI from what I remember
My current googling leads me to believe it will corrupt the save completely.
Really? Why would the developers allow people to select 6 levels in the GUI if it would corrupt the save?
I also had a private server where I had 10 levels possible on my castles before and that didn't corrupt (although absence of evidence is not evidence of absence)
It is quite possible they fixed the issue since it looks like it was 8 to 9 months ago for the issues I see being posted π
If it's like one of those Steam topics I'm looking at I assume it was because they made an error when editing the JSON (if you miss a comma the save will be "corrupted", but by fixing the JSON it works again).
But it is an important thing to avoid corrupting the multiplayer server, of course.
Thank you for at least looking at it.
It's not something that should be rushed in any case, although I personally would very much love it if we were able to build a bit taller for some towers and such. I've got plans that should work with "just" 3 height levels, but I could do some more interesting designs with slightly more verticality. While I would hope for the possibility of going up to 6 levels I would be happy with just a level or two more as well. I haven't gotten the impression that many others feel strongly about it either way, although I hope they could find some more fun designs with it as well.
Yeah, I can see some creative ways to use extra height don't get me wrong, I just want to make sure we don't cause issues π
Oh, absolutely. Server stability is paramount
Sorry if I'm making a bit more work for you and Leafein
It's not a lot of work to change from what I can see at least π
As always, though I do assume you and Leafein know this, make a backup before doing anything risky XD
That part afaik would be Zang's duty ^^
Yup. And if it ends up not being worth trying because of something then that is what it is. But I couldn't get more height if I didn't at least ask, right?
Makes sense to me
Sorry, been busy ^^ as Mai said, I did also research a bit on that. I have found 3 posts of people having issues in the past on servers where they changed castle height, but they were all close to when they introduced the extra floors, so not really reliable. With that in mind, with an expansion as big as a 1.0 release, old bugs tend to resurface. I am not the biggest fan of changing such settings post-world creation to avoid issues. I have burned myself multiple times in the past by doing so, thus I am reluctant. I might talk to Zan to test at some point, though our free time doesn't align very much π
Also, height is up to 4 by default. It becomes 3 because you are building on an elavated platform π
For this by the way, bugs and issues can arise later down the line after a change. So a back-up can still lead to hours or even days of rollback.
I would love to not have several days rollback if it is avoidable.
@violet lynxi am free for the most part always, except when i sleep xD
Nope, height of 3 is default. You get 4 because of the elevated platform. See https://blog.stunlock.com/update-1-secrets-of-gloomrot-patch-notes/ as well as the config file (and GUI):
"Level1": {
"FloorLimit": 50,
"ServantLimit": 4,
"BuildLimits": 2,
"HeightLimit": 3
},```
Now, if you could be so kind as to send me those posts which had those problems (because I think it was just that they messed up changing the JSON) I would greatly appreciate it. Though I suspect you, like I probably would, have closed them. The reason I want to see where you found someone having problems with it is because I couldn't really find much to corroborate changing the HeightLimit being the cause of corrupted saves. More like user error with JSON. See <https://steamcommunity.com/app/1604030/discussions/0/3832045251550592858/> for an example where Previl said it corrupted, but it worked perfectly for Lanwis. Which probably is JSON formatting error.
I'd also like to point out that I asked to get the height limits increased well before the server started up #1229277589500330116 message
I have also run a personal server with the height limit set to 8 that had no problems after time at all (which is 2 more than what is max in the GUI) with me building a lot of castles everywhere. Though as I said in #1229277589500330116 message absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. But I can't actually find anything that says changing the HeightLimit (to what's in the range available through the GUI from the developers) itself has corrupted a server.
That said, I can understand the unwillingness to change the setting because of putting server stability first.
I still say that I haven't seen any evidence for changing the setting causing any instability or corrupting saves (only user error in changing JSON), and allowing more levels does not mean people have to use those levels. So allowing more levels seem to only allow more options for design, not gameplay balance. Basically no downsides and the upside of more creative freedom. Especially since there's no raid or whatever it's called on the dapperling server.
The height limit can be changed through the GUI as far as I know, which means there shouldn't be any user error with the JSON leading to "corrupted" save.
EDIT: If anyone actually have any arguments against allowing more floors I think they should be given so I and others can get more understanding for why people don't want to allow people more options.
EDIT2: Now that I've gotten time to think about the poll options it's also not clear how many don't have strong feelings one way or another, how many are just anxious about potential "corruption" (which I've seen no evidence for being anything but user error in editing JSON files), and how many just think that nobody should be able to build taller than 3 levels from the upper plateau of the castle plots.
The server has already had parts of it edited, and we've seen no evidence of that having affected the stability (the change was from always PvP to the time based rules). If changing 1 thing between the options the developers make available (through the GUI, to be clear) didn't do damage I can see no reason why changing something else to one of the options the developers make available would do so.
I've got a service announcement. Apparently container names don't show up for other players (clan members probably do see them, though), so we can't use that to help indicate to other people if some container has free stuff (other than the community chest project by Demi (and apparently my thinking that it would be possible to make it a bit more easily searchable by naming the chests there doesn't work...))
EDIT: the fact that they don't show up for other vampires is probably for some PvP balance with raiding or such. If you could read what other people called their containers you could more easily get just the "good stuff" without taking the time to look through each container.
i will not be available tomorrow, on thursday and on friday.
someone is present, and on a hunt...
@novel jungle can we get a server restart sometime please? π
I would like to let you all know, that I am now the apex vampire.
Conga-tulations
I see a patch for V rising, is it safe to download?
if it isn't i'll just shutdown the server, update and restart it π
but so far the patches has been client side only
yea, we got a hotfix for potential server crash, going off the patchlog
as well as a number of really nice qol changes
such as seeing which books you already have in the merchant, and the ability to trade prisoners :D
guessing that fix at least will need a server update
i'll just do a quck restart/update of server then now, before i have to leave.
thanks
Thank you so much for dealing with the server stuff
"this will brick the server" ;P
Shouldn't. The game has been notoriously unstable about changing settings after the fact, but good about updates π
Zangiry is our MVT
Thank you!
I have access to my computer again, so now to hope my Castle isn't too badly off
Was it not too badly off?
server appears to be having som issues
Yeah, it's very yeet happy
Too bad Zangiry is not available, I assume.
i even got killed due to the issues
And I can't get back in π
well, that is a load of mutant grease lost...
Yeah, I've been kicked off three times in a row now
Let me commiscerate, because same
would leafein be able to do something about it?
I'm not sure. I suspect not, but it can't hurt asking
Nope
worth an ask
We summoned him!
Fiarly certain there's no admin command that interacts with the server ^^
so i can get in, but not do anything
I'm getting the press x to respawn each time though so i guess i am not going to lose anything
Weeell, I guess this means a break from V Rising then.
Looks like it fixed itself?
I got in, but got disconnected immediately again.
i know why, weirdly enough this computer is fine
apparently my server connected itself to my phone as a "tether" even though it's wired
lol
It's alive!
Well, that explains things
Zangiry being summoned by the anguished screams of dapperlings
I'm hitting connection problems now, anyone else having that?
"Error: connection timed out"
That's definitely a strange way for it to glitch!
Is the server still down?
Seems like it
i shut it down until i could fix the internet issue

Ah, fair
i will literally have to reboot the main server
Wow i didn't think it would be that big of a deal
somehow the network went into a feedback loop
Did you divide by 0 again?
and apparently my phone were the cause
server needed a restart anyways due to windows update, so i guess it's okay? xD
I hope I won't lose my death loot...
same, but i am still in my "revive me" moment
Doesn't the server pause if its down?
if you did, leaf or mai can fix that,
and the moment people mentioned here that server got weird i shut it down
I got so far as to actually respawn, got my loot from the frog boss, then died on my way back to safety
Thanks for looking out for us, Zang!
Zang the legend
Zang does some fast support!
Khay what is your vampire named`?
Just for information request, is it like 10 minutes until server is up, 1 hour, 10 hours, 24 hours or such?
"Llentril"
I hadn't gotten the memo that most people just were going to use their Discord username, not go for some "vampire-ish" names
Well, who have I been talking to?!?!?! XD
lol
Oh, I thought you were Chiz
Everywhere all at once
;P
plot twist, I am actually carnivale
Damn!
And im aavak
Both Cit and Chiz were on the server
(just to clarify, I'm not carnivale obviously, I'm not that good :P)
This is my second time playing V Rising π
Jelmer you're level 60 ish right?
Wasn't it something like Zangiry supposedly being unavailable today? And yet he goes above and beyond
70 at the moment
was looking at the eco thread
For your level? 
yeah, the amount of good eco restaurant names * 35 is my level, just had to check that
I think I've gotten to somewhere around 67 GS
@novel jungle , I hope it's not too much of an imposition to ping you, but I would love to know a rough estimate if you think you can make one.
I got to 81 cause the game hates me
The addiction strikes hard and fast doesn't it
Is it really addiction if it doesn't?
Hmmm, I wonder if the servant timers will run while a dedicated server is offline now as well. They made it so they used the system clock for "personal" games, and that might also affect dedicated servers...
Whooops, adhd, got distracted, I'm now at the store buying cat food xD
No worries, was just wondering about if I should plan to do other things or if the server would be up again soon-ish
I'll be home in about 10-15 min, and that's if i walk slow xD
don't go running off your legs
And you're assuming you'll start the server about then, I take it XD
Right after 3 more distractions.
"Oh, a squirrel"
"did i leave the water running"
"Did I feed the plants and water the dog?"
More game related; I'm pretty happy with how I've managed to set up my Dunley castle for now. A two story throne room with a large outside area in some shade that will get some prettyfication "soon" beyond the "free stuff" courtyard I've already made.
And most of it visitor accessible
server back up
zangiry appearently didn't encounter a squirrel
Cats more importanter
Thank you so much, Zangiry
Hmmm, I seem to have problems connecting to the server. Is it still connected through your phone? XD
same here
I can't connect
Probably still booting and setting.
π
And I seem to be in. Zangiry MVV (Most Valuable Vampire)
body just outside home?
iirc someone said something about that a while back.
tomorrow i'll have 3 pi's
Pi Zero W
Pi 4B 4 GB
and lastly a Pi 5B 8 GB
Nice
Current default time zone: 'Europe/Oslo'
Local time is now: Wed May 15 21:42:41 CEST 2024.
Universal Time is now: Wed May 15 19:42:41 UTC 2024.
now that's just wrong, that poor pupper will forever suffer with my name xD
ehm, horse xD
"This is not the greatest horse in the world, this is just a tribute"
^ was a bit too long to name it
Quote: Jack Black
Exactly
But I can change the name later. Maybe name it "Mai did it" or something like that
D;
i'm still convinced his parents were gamblers
Jack Black -> Black Jack -> Blackjack
"it" may be a positive thing, you never know.
"Just do it!" -> "Mai just did!"
oh and btw, when i got home from the store, the sun were still up....
so sun still up at 9:20 pm
Would've been worse if I called the horse just "Zangiry"
eh, i've been a Rat twice in Thea/Thea 2
I mostly meant the following:
I...uh...I don't know if mounting Zang's glory is much less risquΓ©.

Emperor Glitterhoof returns, i guess
Sooo...I overextended myself with my gaming commitments (Shocker!), so I think I need to drop this one.
I've dismantled pretty much everything and shoved it and my gear (for anyone who's still in the lower levels) into six (or seven?) boxes by my castle heart. I assume anyone can open them, so I figured I'd let folks know here so anyone can grab what they want, and then I'll take the leftovers to the community grab boxes near the entrance.
My place is just east of the Bandit Copper Mine in Farbane. I'll remove the heart in a few hours (edit: Tomorrow actually - forgot before I kicked my computer off and headed to bed!) so the plot is freed up.
Have so much fun with the rest of the server!
The server seems to be down again, can't connect.
we can also remove the heart for you
@novel jungle pinging you to tell you that the server is down, hoping I am not waking you up from slumber. If so, go back to sleep for a bit
I think Zangiry should let his pets maintain the server when he's sleeping.
maybe he does, which is why it went wrong
server shows as running on my end, and my internet is working

also, i don't have pets.
they belong to my brother/landlord xD
i was on it earlier when others couldn't connect but i was the only one online, after i left i couldn't get back on
okay, i'll try and restart it
lol Log in to the server is shutting down
it is back up now xD
weird
failed
I re-entered IP and it connected
dns caching issue maybe?
or a hickup between Norway and Europe/US?
yeah, re-entering IP worked here too
i think more likely the game confused itself
I got the same problem and same solution. Probably something to do with their hotfix #3
is anything recovered from salvaging spell gems?
yea, gem dust and a gem of the tier
no stygian shards, unfortunately, for the high tiers
I found two suggestions on the suggestions site that I agree with and think should have more support. If you agree with them too I think it would be great if you clicked the button to make number go up:
https://feedback.playvrising.com/suggestions/553489/use-any-symbols-and-letters-in-any-languages
https://feedback.playvrising.com/suggestions/552963/allow-all-characters-in-chest-names
There's also a suggestion for those already known technology books to show us that when we have them in our inventory/find them in chests: https://feedback.playvrising.com/suggestions/553453/already-unlocked-tag-for-unlocked-recipes
Aw, thank you! No worries though - I needed to haul the stuff to Demi's freebie chests anyway. Plot's all cleared off. Thanks!
I may have planted a few Blood Rose
what do you need that many pollen for?
βaestheticsβ
But yeah, it's giving me more than I need, so people are free to come have a spin
Once you start making shadow weave, you will be happy to have all that pollen XD
That's good to know. I'm making a massive garden, really. Eventually
I may come by for more tomorrow. I need thread. I have enough blood rose for potions.
Yea, we really need to remodel our garden as well, soon
right now, we have sort of an indoor thing going on, and it's not really ideal, for the growing space
A shame you get the shade-casting gazebo thingies so late
You know you can build sort of a "roof" over it, right?
yes, but the whole point is that that doesn't look right :D
A roof at the third level? I'm just spitballing
If you want to see how it could look you can take a look at my Dunley castle
Though that has it only on the second level up for the area further in from the free stuff courtyard
You can use a mist machine too, only turn it on when needed
They use very few if you only turn them on when working.
I've got a mist brassiere ||Yes, it intentional|| in my free stuff courtyard because I seem to have more than enough bones.
this is citatus refusing to acknowledge that bones are not a limited rescource. If i hadn't converted mine into scourge stones i'd be buried in them
Bones are renewable resources XD
Indeed. Just capture a vampire in a gibbet, make sure they can't move around too much but with their limbs hanging free and fit them with a face mask with a funnel. Healthy humans can donate a litre of blood every so often, not much of a loss to a single human, but with their numbers advantage it would be like water torture to the vampire, forced to guzzle it down, fueling their inhuman regeneration as the humans saw off limbs to harvest an unending supply of bones.
Should probably get some tinkers in on this, they might be able to figure out a way to generate electricity from the metabolic process going on in the vampire. With enough research could probably power a city from one as long as you keep drowning it in blood.
Wouldn't be the first apex predator humanity turned into a resource; probably won't be the last, either, once those crafty humans conquer new worlds using Vampire-reactor powered space ships.
I can foresee nothing going wrong with this plan. 
ah, yes, the vampire-powered piston engine
That got a bit more gruesome than I was anticipating...
Brings new meaning to V8
who let Dark Aavak out of his cage?
It's important to give your pets exercise ;P
Just some research, Nuns keep their cross hat and brown robes when made servants
yea, every unit keeps their outfits, they just get a different hair and skin colour ^_^
Except for Draculin units, they all just stay identical to before
Gondor calls for aid! Anyone want to help us with dracula? We are struggling a lot. 
Wish I could. but I'm still at the start of act 3.
Ah, act 3. Domina is... a character π
NSFW fight, really
I love it though
drac is certainly hard
yea- i think leafy, the rest of our clan,... and possibly a few others i couldn't be sure
he's HECKING hard
He is on a league of his own.
Fighting him solo though is the best option in my opinion. When you are alone, his attacks do not apply blood curse.
I feel like quitting because of him. π
Have you tried "gitting gud"? ;P
Though I guess the point of the last boss would be to be quite hard
CohhCarnage said that failing to beat a boss is just dopamine stockpiling (or something like that) so when you finally beat it you get that big hit. I think he said it better than I describe it here.
I need to remember to join with a team at somepoint.
just getting the legendaries so that when my entire team isn't so busy anymore, we can wipe up adam and then do the big man himself
once we're done, we may be able to help. Though that will be a while, probably
Run 10-vampire battle against Dracula
I wondered how the scaling works, would 9 be 3x harder than 3?
but at some point, you just wouldn't be able to target the mob except with AEs. many ranged attacks would be blocked.
From what I've seen setting up my own brutal server:
- Adding a second person to a boss fight doubles the bosses stats.
- Adding a third person adds an extra 50% to their stats.
- Adding a fourth person and any additional person after that adds an extra 25%.
So beyond 2 people, a boss fight should get easier and easier, especially once you're at 4+ people.
Note that that's the default scaling regardless of relaxed, normal or brutal difficulty btw
I mean, sure, easier by statistics, but does that matter when a single swing of his sword will be sending you to the ER? XD
I dunno, but that's not what I'm answering, I was just addressing Silvermink's question about scaling :p
I know ^^
Also uh, idk if the scaling affects their damage
It definitely affects health
But the server settings are a bit ambiguous as to whether or not it scales their other stats
I do wonder if spawns work the same exact way. The more people present, the more spawns the bosses have. Wonder if the scaling is the same, and if it has a cap 
That's a good question
I remember when solo fighting that one boss in Act 2 who unlocks the study, I kicked her ass my first try, even on brutal.
Then, when another person wanted my help fighting her, we lose two times in a row. I felt like there were more of the little NPCs, or maybe they also inherited the extra health given to her by the player scaling, so they stayed on the field longer and therefore it felt like there were more throughout the fight. I'm not sure.
bosses definitely spawn more ads with mors players, yea
not sure how the scaling works there, but I've seen them spawn more
very easy to see with Maia, she spawns one ad per player in the early phases, so far as I can tell
Now there's ads in my games as well?
For most bosses they do, I don't know if it's linear past 2. they also drop more health globes
Are you sure? I haven't noticed more than 3 health globes. Unless Mai and Cow are that quick at eating them.
they are that quick at eating them up it seems then, because i've seen 6 when together
Nomnom
Yes they drop more globes, one of my friends noticed that too
Freaking health roombas over there
π
Poor Leafein not getting any delicious blood bobas
I really should just stop looting scrolls... π
Knowledge storage keeps getting full, and we're done with research
if anyone needs 3000-odd scrolls, let me know π
Yes, they are. XD
we are quite done with research, yes xD
if the scrolls are still available ill take them when i can get on
They are, ping me again when you are online and I'll hop on π
will do thanks!
You know, you could have a "public" area of your castle where you put such things ;P
Was that a pun?
no
Well, it was a great pun, even if you didn't intend it
that is what should take a vacation
Was fun taking down Styx with that terror re-enacting German planes over London...
At least now I can look at my castle in full
Congratulations!
@wooden chasm did you really have to go this hard on building a pretty castle?
Yes. 
Don't even need to wait for them to respond, the answer is always yes xD
That is a really nice castle tho
Way to flex
And here I thought I hadn't done too badly
Of course, and I didn't even finish it π
that is a very large plot though, which is probably also a factor π
some plots barely have space for such impressive castles
still: good job :O
Thanks. The plot actually has two upper platforms, which give it a slightly more interesting layout. Also, opened most of the doors if anyone wants to take a look inside, not everything is finished though.
Does impressive work in Eco too
Feel free to share your castle designs, I'm sure everyone would enjoy looking at them if you have screenshots :)
I'm always interested in seeing how people use the odd shapes the game gives us sometimes ^^
Yeah, a lot of people not playing on the server might enjoy the castle designs. Once we're "done" designing the castles.
Here be Castle. It was really fun building it, love the system. Quite a lot of decorations unfinished, but it's still a nice castle to live in π
Very red inner decor. I like it!
it seems the server still has people playing on it maybe ill try it out again i did enjoy playing previously
i know me and my friend are we only get a few hours a day to play due to work, doing the lvl 83 bosses and the t2 rifts now
just got bat form, that is very fun
Bat form is great. I'm hoping to get back on tomorrow and fix up my castles, maybe try to take down Solarus or something
I'm close to 70. but kinda had set things aside for life.
i do think they need to rweak the perks of some forms, like spider form burrow, make the enemy not know your there is they pass by or you do it out of line of site, make rat actually do something as its kind of pointless from my opinion,
With the spider form burrow the enemies shouldn't know you're there unless you were already in combat when you burrowed as of right now.
Rat actually lets you get into at least one specific form, and it also is used to sneak into enemy castles in PvP servers. Or it could be used for a hide and seek contest on the dapperling server.
i was trying Tarzul yesterday (didn't succeed though)
rat form is also used to get through a gap in the silver mines
Apparently I wrote something erroneously, I did indeed mean to write "Rat actually lets you get into at least one specific room" (in the silver mines)
ah, i thought you were meaning that, since that sentence didn't make much sense as it is
i did not know that about the rat
is tehre a major sun resistance potion?
because we have a minor sun resistance flask but no major?
nope no major, but you get some serious sun resistance through equipment iirc
think its a dev oversight?
I think we'll be getting more bosses for the "missing" potions, if that's what you're asking π
well i sent a bug report about it
the tech dressing table and folding walls, ... where does one find the folding walls part of the tech, we have unlocked it and cant find what it unlocked
Decorative? π€
yea
just bugging me is all, tried looking through my build menu, cant find anything looking online wiki has nothing on it
should be decorative > furniture IIRC
TY
for everyone wondering its a folding screen not a "wall" for getting changed behind
It would be nice if we eventually got "sidegrades" to the existing cloaks that are more resistant to sun resistance, garlic, etc. at the cost of other resistances, similar to how they added new armor sets in 1.0 which focus on spell power, physical power, movement speed, etc.
might be that it is to the side, that is where i found some thing after finding out that you could scroll sideways on the build menu
whats the deal with adam?!? everytime i kill him he stands back up and he is very hard to kill
happened 4 times gets about 40-45 % of his hp back and full room reset with all lightning turrets
Welcome to phase 2
Where a manageable fight goes into panic mode
Because he just starts throwing all the bullshit at you
I mean, he did say he is only using a fraction of his power
like a lightning vortex that covered 50% of the room?
He didn't lie
id ask for help but pvp is turned on and i dont know why, i dont wanna pvp i wanna pve
Just aim better 
I think it swaps every 12 hours between those modes?
Weekend.
PVP turns on between 3 pm and 3 am (UTC+2/CEST) Saturday and Sunday,
Castle Siege is disabled however.

magic time stamps that show it in your local time
Found a second 100 Rogue I am willing to sell if anyone needs it - though fair warning, I'd like ~1500+ greater abyssal shards or boatloads of mutant grease for it π
Or an equivalent in lesser shards, but the ratio to upgrade those is 9/1, which is... not great
wouldn't mind one, got a load of shards and also a boatload of grease
(at least, i consider it a boatload)
I do offer free delivery (because it is the only way to trade prisoners) 
or at least i thought i had a boatload of grease
All went into pristine leather, I'm guessing? xD
probably
seeing that there was 77 pristine leather in my tannery, yes, yes it went there
still have a bit over 1k of the stuff
alas, 1k will not really get me very far π
But I will definitely trade for abyssal shards. Quantity and quality?
if those are Greater, than that's about what I was looking for ^_^
Mine go into trees xD
trees? as in you don't even pick them up anymore?
nono, blood treants
drop many seeds, of any type
great use for lesser shards if you want to have a large garden
@abstract bramble that one, the one I'm pointing at
Delivery complete ^_^
enjoy your payment
Will do π
i am guessing that the payment has been used by now π
nope
i mean, it happens to me a lot, but this one was already safely behind bars
safely for him that is
connection issues, on my end or not?
i think it was my end, as i got disconnected from discord for a moment
most likely my brother restarted the internet box because internet were being slow,
it happens sometimes, and the quick fix is to restart the fiber box.
I sadly have to bow out of hte server now, anyones free to grab my stuff tho, dunno if i should kill off my servants tho fo rpeople to be able to grab my stuff
My base is just to the left of the Dunley farmlands merchants
Anyone still going at it in V?
playing right now
Exams have devoured my time
Devour the exams!
One more week and then I am free ^^
still online occasionally, most often in the evening
I have Adam and Drac left, but then I have officially beaten the game
Simon, adam and dracula here
btw, how did some of you guys get void to spawn three additional smaller voids? some spell jewels i am assuming, even though i've not encountered any that did it
Spell jewels yeah, I think only the highest tier might have it though
then a lot of you guys got really lucky with t4 jewels early on, since i've seen tripple void when we were fighting polara
Well, there are plenty of jewels in the donation station. I suspect some people might've grabbed some there
The split can be on pretty much any jewel for void
it's random what you get every time
I have one for faster cooldown, split, AOE puddle and it sets things with chaos burn on fire to heal me
very useful
The heal thing is absolutely a godsend
I saw a similar effect on gems for chaos volley, where if you hit an enemy that's ignited it heals you over time. It made chaos volley a staple in my arsenal on Brutal.
That's exactly the same situation I found myself in
well, that is the end of the belmont line again... dang that was a hard fight
well, great..., so what you are saying is that i should have gone in naked π
Not really, no - but if you're over his base level, he will always scale up to yours π
well, good to know that by spending those 1500 greater shards to get an ancient shard, i made the fight just that bit more dificult...
Honestly? Don't think he really gets more difficult... He just also doesn't get easier if you outgear him
and the bonus stats on the relics do help π
it wasn't a relic though
went to the vampire merchant to get some slashers
yes, i know, that isnt the best place to get good stuff,
also, I don't know who Saturnranko is in this channel, but I might have accidentally lured Simon into your decaying castle and he may have destroyed some roofs...
yea, those are relics
The shattered relics you restore using an upgraded weapon of that tier? :D
nah both require the same base sanguine weapons and 4 onyx tears
three?
the blue ones use merciless iron
and then purple is the sanguine tier
and yellow is legendaries, they always have the same stat lines and abilities
hows the download going Zangiry?
are there still people playing? been throwing myself at solarus for an hour about now, would not mind having someone else help
I probably won't have much time to play until the weekend, but I'm down for helping out.
Just getting back. Might jump in soon.
I mostly hop on and do some decorating around my base lately, also changed location to just above Dunley merchants. Got 2 spots near each other so I can have a garden/cemetery in one of them. Sometimes I hit a point in games where I really focus on the base more than the progression.
sadly this is in the middle of the night for me, so not exactly practical
Is there any interest for a new server once Invaders of Oakveil releases 28th of this month?
Good question. I might be personally
I'm still waiting for that hardcore server
Might be something for us to do after we are done with VS?
A V Rising server that's only up during stream? Could be interesting π€
could be... Though processing/servant mission times would probably have to be adjusted, as those kinda expect you to process while offline
unless they do count the time when the server is offline?
Isn't that how they do it for singleplayer?
It could be possible to leave the server online and just change the password so nobody can log in
If I recall correctly, yes
Very exciting π
A new setting is being introduced to V Rising, allowing you to restrict the number of owned castle territories on a per-clan basis instead of a per-vampire basis.
Love it β€οΈ
wasn't that a feature before?
or were that just an unwritten rule we set for the server?
It wasn't an official feature, no.
i still have v-rising dedicated installed on my server, and i keep it updated xD
since last run
oh and btw @hot rune i actually own V-Rising now. #BlameRhadamant
I would be open for another V-Rising run. Maybe hold off on it until a couple of weeks after the VS run ends
Yeah, sounds like a good idea to give folks a bit of time to recover from VS before starting their blood sucking career.
^
only times it works with multiple servers is when the games are vastly different,
thus a different playing crowd
like hosting Minecraft as well as say OpenTTD
ECO and Minecraft and V Rising servers all at once π
F
Sure, i'll host them.
but good luck xD
that sounds like a recipe for private servers XD
as in, a server with just one active player
Gonna look forward to when this is in action!
Are people still be interested in a new V Rising server?
We could set it up a couple of weeks or so after ECO server finishes, perhaps late November or early December?
I ran a V Rising server on my dedicated server not too long ago. If people wanted one, it would be fairly easy for me to boot one up if nobody else can.
Me personally though, not much interested in playing.
i ran the last dapper one (i think), and could as well.
Id be interested at a later date for another server, Maybe in the new year?
depends, are we gonna have PvP, or is it going to be an other boss rush?
because I love V Rising, but I have done the PvE aspect so many times now XD
I likely won't be join-in on this round but I hope everyone has fun
Yeah personally I like having PvP but with castle raids off.
That way I can rest easy any time of the week (including my precious weekends) knowing I won't lose my shit overnight to someone from a different timezone, and I can get my fix of combat beyond the PvE (especially if people don't want to play on Brutal, which is what I'm used to now.)
If I remember it right last time we had PvP on during specific hours over the weekends.
I feel like restricting PvP itself to specific hours over specific days (like the weekends, which sometimes people might want to spend doing something IRL) isn't really enough PvP. :p Unless those specific hours are like a 12+ hour period, so that people from any timezone can maybe hop on during PvP hours to enjoy them (without setting aside their whole day.)
1v1 me in battlerite :^)
But, pvp is great in v rising, some minor gripes, but as a battlerite enjoyed, a pvp oriented v rising sounds amazing. Bonus points if its just character pvp and not as much base pvp.
Though base pvp might just be good too, those just always seemed off and bad for me, think rust.
We could have PvP on during the weekends, either on Saturday or Sunday, perhaps even alternating the days. So, 24h at a time.
Is that a good idea though, doing it on the weekend only? Its not like V-rising is that long of a game, after the first pvp weekend everyone would have finished the game and probably just not play. Wouldn't pvp every day give a reason to keep coming back to it, not to just fight bosses?
I think as annoying as it would be to have bosses be a contested resource, I think that also just makes it actually engaging, everyone wants that boss, we have to fight each other over it as much as the boss, otherwise its not even a pvp game. Might as well make it pve only and build arenas for controlled pvp if we're gonna have a very limited pvp time frame. Which, don't get me wrong. I'd be absolutely down for. I'll be porting battlerite maps to v rising castles...
-# again
Making arenas for pvp in that game is fun after all :P
On the last server we had very limited pvp times since the vast majority of players didn't want any pvp. Trying to balance the needs of pve and pvp players on the same server is always a bit tricky.
Having dedicated arenas for pvp sounds good to me, but then again I'm not a pvp player.
Well, the server should lean heavily one way or the other. Balacing and flip flopping in between is prone to be a letdown for both camps.
My vote is on pvp first, pve second. And again, none of that raiding base breaking stuff. It is NOT fun to come back after 3 days to your base ruined, because you didn't want to/didn't have time to get on a game.
I'm for pvp, against griefing other players bases.
I wonder, is it possible to make the game pve, but every time bloodmoon happens: pvp is on
So when you're the 'strongest' and best time to go for bosses, you now have to contest other players
PvP on during bloodmoons would kinda add an interesting aspect to the game. If you're a pve player you go "Shit shit, gotta get home." and if not... "Where's the prey..."
Exactly, its recurring enough where even people who play an hour a day and want pvp will get it.
But also: its 'rare' enough where if you don't want pvp, just don't go out one day
Perhaps increase frequency from 1/19 days to 1/7
And just do 7 days to die, where every 7th day its a rampage outside. But, again, safe in your base. Because its cringe to make it a rust like permanently.
I'm reinstalling it just to see if there's a setting of "Pvp during blood moon"
Because if its not, well, that plan goes out the window. xD
Yeah, I like that idea. Let's hope it's possible π
I mean, the game was developed by the same people who made battlerite, its basically begging to be an arena game.
So much of your kit is just meant for pvp.
Doesn't help that some of the weapons are moveset from their arena game battlerite
and the bosses are inserts of characters from battlerite into v rising
The amount of micro staggers/interrupts/stuns that bosses are just immune to is high in that game. xD
No sadly :(
Only always or time restricted.
Looking through mods
Here's the problem from my experience both from playing and organizing. Those who like PvP will want to have the freedom to do so whenever, be it arenas, hunting someone, stalking someone who is killing a boss for your time to strike etc etc. Those who don't like PvP will firstly try to limit it as much as possible, and then not play during the time-frame that PvP is enabled [example: take a small break during blood moon as per your current idea]. Meaning neither side is happy.
Now if you manage to find a way to please both, I will be very interested in your idea π
Very true.
But unfortunately, personally I am done with the pvE aspect of the game, other than defeating Dracula on Hard difficulty. So just PvE for me wouldn't be interesting.
Leaf, bully mai with me. Lets create our fight club
She doesn't wanna pvp me, she doesn't like when i jump on her with my daggers :(
Sounds like everyone who wants PvP should make a server just for them and enjoy unlimited PvP!
How many of you are there? Like, 5 or 6 or so? Should be fun for a bit.
Yeah, it's the conclusion I came up with last time too XD having the two groups coexist is so much effort and jumping through so many hoops to make it somehow work that it just isn't worth it
seems unfair for everyone else tbh
ikr? xD
Could do alternating servers? One session is with PVP (Session being however long its active as a server for) then a few months later its without PVP?
But honestly, id be down to do a PVP Server whenever, so long as we create a couple of basic rules surrounding it
Itβs the pvp mmo dev dilemma, cater to pvp and accept your niche standing, cater to bigger pve crowd, or try to squeeze in both and alienate both.
Pve players donβt want to be lambs, and pvp wolves quickly tire of fighting other wolves. (In MMOs)
I'm in the full PvP or bust camp myself, both because I've done the PvE so many times now and because, in my experience, PvP servers foster better behaviour. Turns out people care much more about being on good terms with their next door neighbour when their next door neighbour can cave their skulls in.
π€¨
Make that 6 or 7, sounding more possible :D
I am firmly in the no pvp camp, mostly because i am quite skilled at dying already and don't need others to help me in that
