[lunar musk]

he is he who moves unseen, Springwalker, barrel rider....

[tardy vale]

um.. we don't Really do departments 🤔

14 people atm

but we have QA, Game dev, Graphics

but it's not like one person can't do other things

everyone on the team is a multiple-skilled-magician

everyone chips in the end

multi-talent is the word I was looking for

[tough aspen]

did you find it

[vivid field]

at my job HR uses "talent", but my boss uses "oompa-loompas"

[tardy vale]

what does it mean then? 🤔

[vivid field]

have you ever seen willie wonka?

[tardy vale]

yes

but calling Talent for oompa-loompas

[vivid field]

it's used jokingly, I'd much rather talk to him than HR, lol

the nickname used for people, employees, workers

[lunar musk]

explaining further doesn't improve the optics

[vivid field]

yeah, maybe one of those "you had to be there" things

[dense vessel]

Hello everyone, found a frost cave

And I don’t know how cautious I should be lol

[tough aspen]

Bring frost resist ^^

[dense vessel]

Already got my cape and chest

And got my first bits of crystal, stuck on the fact about crafting or not crafting a crystal battleaxe, it’s so sick

[lunar musk]

gotta watch out for those hidden corridors when you get into that, you can get swamped by ||cultists|| coming from every room next to the one you occupy if unlucky

rarely there's a room with golems in, but otherwise the rest should be okay if you take yr time and make sure you have stam for battle

caves are very jumpy (in the meaning of lots of jumps everywhere) and once you commit to ascending/descending, whatever is at the top/bottom needs dealing with although you may be very low on stam at that point

campfire at the entrance or portal outside to regain rested is a lifesaver too (kill drakes in the area before going in the cave ideally so they don't destroy it while yr in there)

[vivid field]

you mean ||fire resist||?

[dense vessel]

Wow that was easier then I expected, didn’t find the vegisvir..

[timid rampart]

Ok, now i feel uncomfortable.. what is my current client actually doing while i'm representing it? We should have a serious talk..

I need this title, i was trying to get it for so long, and now.. when i'm 2 letters away from my initial ultimate goal, replacing 'o' with 'yn', everything can go wrong

[ocean hound]

Ashlands hype intensifies 🫨

[nimble obsidian]

has there been a release window announced for ashlands yet?

[crimson inlet]

Just say you're busy no one can say anything

[violet belfry]

2024

[marsh sentinel]

First half of 2024.

It's in the channel description. 👆

[solar marsh]

😮

[craggy crystal]

I recently discovered valheim, I may or may not have been playing it on my steamdeck during a 5 hour work meeting today

[violet belfry]

5 hour meeting?

[craggy crystal]

auditing training security was giving to the engineers in my company to ensure it was up to snuff

was voluntold for it

[violet belfry]

I loathe meetings. As a civil servant I have to be in a lot of them and they're usually completely irrelevant to what I do. Rarely had a 5 hour one though.

[craggy crystal]

it's fairly atypical here too for a single "meeting" to run that long, outside of MBR's/OKR's, but it is pretty typical for me to be in 3 - 4 hours of meetings a day

[vivid field]

why go then if they're irrelevant?

[craggy crystal]

it's not often a choice lol

[vivid field]

but it is tho. although I don't particularly care to get on a soapbox about it here

[violet belfry]

Mandatory

[craggy crystal]

I've done a significant amount of pruning of how many meetins I'm in, but I'm also scrum master for my team. Agile ceremony is inescapble, but I've got the team down to pretty sure tight times for those meetings

[vivid field]

you don't want to talk to your boss and go like, "hey, these meetings aren't productive, I could better spend my time doing something else"

[craggy crystal]

oh, no, I tell him that all the time

or stuff like this could have been an email

[crimson inlet]

I wouldn't call it a meeting 🤨

[violet belfry]

I've bluntly stated on several occasions meetings are a waste of time, yet we're expected to anyway. Particularly if it's via teams and the whole team is expected to be in there as it "just looks good".

[vivid field]

but I was responding to irrelevant meetings -- if you're managing a team, I doubt that really counts as being irrelevant

[craggy crystal]

yeah, meetings have a cost: engineering time, I often point that out too

[craggy crystal]

oh I don't manage the team lol, I just run the agile side of it. My boss is in more meetings than I am, often sh&%shielding

[vivid field]

yeah, I appreciate my sh**shields as well, they do a mighty fine job 🙂

[craggy crystal]

I measn, I was pretty blunt with my boss about that being an expectation I have for him when we started this team

[violet belfry]

I remember this one particularly meeting, the entire team was called in and got told off for not doing the job properly. It was only a few people not following proper procedure but in the corporate world the entire team cops it rather than the individuals who actually made the mistakes. As a result of this meeting four people got covid and the manager lost her job 😂

[craggy crystal]

oof

[violet belfry]

There were a few hearty guffaws over that one

[drowsy imp]

It is springtime

Unless Smiffe bestows them for you randomly, you can request them

[vivid field]

you shouldn't have been slacking off during those meetings 😉

diet, exercise, sunshine and water -- sounds simple enough, but yeah I gotta work on 'em too

[violet belfry]

Why are you yelling?

[craggy crystal]

I got a mountain of code to write tonight, given I only had monday and tommorrow to complete a sprints worth of work done

[tough aspen]

Must like caps warnings

[craggy crystal]

do bee's not produce honey as fast when it's up in the air attached to your house? I feel like I'm getting honey way slower now

[violet belfry]

Pretty sure honey production is always the same speed.

Unless your bees aren't happy enough

[craggy crystal]

huh, must just be my mind playing tricks on me then

Hey Pegs ^^

it's like -2C outside atm

I don't 😄

I moved IRL south just to get rid of the damn snow

[regal patrol]

When is the ashlands update gona drop?

😂

I think it’s very soon

[tardy vale]

depends if you wait for PTB ashlands or full release ashlands

[violet belfry]

Sounds delightful

[regal patrol]

@tardy vale smiffe Either one is good, then you know it’s coming

[tardy vale]

the both are comming 😉

[modern solar]

i havent been up to date, but has there been any official preliminary releasedate for ashlands?

[regal patrol]

I’m already curious what they gona do with deep north

I thought it was 1st 1/4

I’m pretty sure they said the first quarter

which would be before end of April

Hope they have some new building pieces in the ashlands 😬

[snow forge]

Iron Gate have never said anything else than first half.

There's a bunch of people online who's made up other dates and pretended them to be release dates, of course, but any other source than IG should be ignored.

[zealous anchor]

why ina rush?
you dont needa new world for everyupdate you know

[tardy vale]

Smiffe do you make musics and sound fx yourself or collaborate with other companies or freelancers ?

[tardy vale]

if we make our own music?

we hire outside mostly since it's a such a niche position that we can't have fulltime work for

Are you the one hiding under the bed, teeth ground sharp and eyes glowing red?
Or are you the one hiding under the stairs, fingers like snakes and spiders in your hair?
Maybe the clown with the tear-away face, here in a flash and gone without a trace?

Say hi to Jack Skellington from me.

[short thistle]

I'm all three and Jack says hi back

[lean fable]

Well they might have posted on socials there are 50+ new pieces coming. lol also they never STATED a set date just hopeful guidelines 😄

[mystic ginkgo]

whats the command to repair stuff

[jaunty ridge]

So it's been some time now, is there any announcement or plans to optimize the game? Just feels weird that a game with PS1 graphics has worse performance than a photorealistic game, or devs did totally give up on this issue and will just remove or lower graphical settings?

[gentle heron]

Are you playing on a potato?

[jaunty ridge]

Sweet potato yes, a 4090

[gentle heron]

Send that shit back lmao

[jaunty ridge]

The game? That must be what you mean right? Other games run fine here

[gentle heron]

Weird I've never had any performance issues on PC or Xbox...

[zealous anchor]

seems like a you problem, my game runs 100% on a worse PC build

[jaunty ridge]

Well other games it is then

[zealous anchor]

indeed

[mystic fiber]

i had some performance issues until i upgraded my CPU and now the game is very smooth

ryzen 1700 was a bit stuttery, but 7800x3d is super smooth

[jaunty ridge]

Ive got a 14900k and the issue i see is that both gpu and cpu are around 70s% usage looked around the internet and it doesn't seem to be the only case

[meager osprey]

Nah, they love lag so they have the same objective as every other devs: Keep it that way

[tardy vale]

the graphical style is a active choice..

[jaunty ridge]

I wasn't complaining about the visual style, i do like it, but mention it on a way to exemplify that the same low graphics game run 5x better on my rig

[mystic fiber]

ps1 wishes it had lighting that good

[tardy vale]

what CPU and what is your RAM like? 🤔

[jaunty ridge]

64gb at 6400

[tardy vale]

Intel CPU?

[jaunty ridge]

Correct, i9 14900k

[tardy vale]

Yeah I figured since AMD don't really run to well on 6400 😄

valheim is setup to only use 2 cores fully / 4 threads

so depending on which those cores end up being. your milage may very. as they say 🤔

a AMD X3D processor blasts valheim atm due to the fast memory from Cache

and high Mhz per core

[mystic fiber]

it's so silky smooth it's unbelievable. it's like a whole new game now haha

[tardy vale]

Core i9-14900K has 36 MB of L3 cache and operates at 3.2 GHz by default, but can boost up to 6 GHz, depending on the workload.

[jaunty ridge]

I had an amd processor before and it runned smoother now that you mention

[tardy vale]

worst case. Valheim will end up on those slower cores on a intel processor 😦

shouldn't happen unless you do alot of things on all cores, and windows have a problem assigning tasks

[mystic fiber]

cant you tell it not to use certain cores? maybe that could help?

[tardy vale]

it's built in "parking" feature

but it's not super optimized either

so if you use multiple monitors and jump between youtube, streaming software, valheim

and back / forth

my 7700X can sometimes outperform a 7900X3D since it sometimes assign the weaker cores to valheim 😦

while a 7800X3D just lightspeed the game

[jaunty ridge]

Yea, well ill try to tweak some things and go from there now that i know this info

[jaunty ridge]

I believe you can to some extent, as i did have to remove one of the 32 cores to be able to play another old title

[tardy vale]

remove? 😮

[mystic fiber]

yeah dude all u need is a fine tip soldering iron

[tardy vale]

😄

[jaunty ridge]

Yes, well i think the term is deallocate

[tardy vale]

ah yeah. that's a feature

you can force it

[jaunty ridge]

Basically telling windows to not use that core for that application

Yes, so ill do some testing for valheim

Try to for e it to the two better cores

[fossil bobcat]

My computer barely runs valheim

[tardy vale]

oh? what's your setup like?

[fossil bobcat]

Free computer from government that they were giving to some ppl like 2 years ago 💀

[tardy vale]

free 😮

[fossil bobcat]

Yeah if your parents/grandparents worked in one place they were giving laptops for free

[tardy vale]

I hear ya' 😦

[fossil bobcat]

Yeah but actually even tho I have the worst graphics possible and on mistlands I have problems overall I still love this game and it's one of my favorite I ever played

[tardy vale]

good news tho

valheim won't go away

[fossil bobcat]

Fr bad graphics won't stop me

[tardy vale]

so you will be able to play it with hardware in 10 years aswell

[fossil bobcat]

Good news

[tardy vale]

indeed. valheim doesn't need steam to run

or anything

[quasi root]

If that's so, why do I have to open Steam first 🤔

[proven dagger]

You can just go to the steam folder, find valheim and open the game that way, no need to go trough steam.
It will try to open trough steam but it doesn't have to use steam.

[quasi root]

When I first start the computer and I open Valheim via a shortcut, the game starts and then shuts down because I haven't opened Steam

[opal harbor]

Shortcut to steam://? Or to local path?

[quasi root]

How to check

[opal harbor]

Right click and properties

[lunar musk]

right click (on the shortcut) find target

if the target is valheim.exe yr in the right place

[proven dagger]

Rightmouse on the shortcut and check properties.
It will probably say something like launch steam game and some kind of id.

[tardy vale]

just start the exe file 🙂

\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Valheim

by default

[rose gulch]

hello bro pls do you guys has any news about lastest update pls at least a liitle info about realese time

[proven dagger]

There's a troll in the Discord. Thought you ought to know.
fake faints

[proven dagger]

The only info there is is first half of 2024 like it says in the channel topic.

[rose gulch]

i know but there is nothing more than that bro nothing

[short thistle]

Don't feed the

[swift comet]

hi

[proven dagger]

Exactly and it will stay that way till they themselves have a better idea and it will go live on the public test.

I think that belongs in #suggestions don't forget the 💡 at the start.

[swift comet]

yes i forget it and now i cant send another message

[snow forge]

Valheim is specifically not a pvp game, and the game is balanced for up to 10 players on a server which also is the max number of people on one).

[proven dagger]

Have patience for 10 minutes and post it again. Though the suggestion will never happen in the vanilla game but could be a good idea for a mod.

[swift comet]

i dont see a reason why not a pvp mode. Youre talking more about a philosopical idea of what the game is about , but i would find very funny a pvp mode, also yo can already activate pvp mode and there are also pvp servers

[short thistle]

I assure you it'll get many thumbsdowns and a long essay on #suggestion-discussion about why it's a terrible suggestion

[snow forge]

There is a friendly fire mode that is specifically no longer called pvp, so that you can hit your friends (and more importantly kill your tames).

It's been stated again and again by the devs that they don't want to turn Valheim into a pvp game.

[proven dagger]

Because the developers don't want it isn't a valid reason?

[swift comet]

how do you know that ?

[proven dagger]

They've stated it in the past?

[swift comet]

i didnt know , ok then F , it could have been very very fun

Like an age of empires but action gam

[maiden sand]

it's less that the idea is 'fun vs not fun' more of a 'does this idea align with the core concept of the game'

it has to pass the second question before the first.

[crimson inlet]

not their direction

plus, pvp games are better when their objective is pvp

[short thistle]

This game isn't really cut out for PvP anyway. Have you tried it? I have a few times, and it just turned into everyone spamming the block button, trying to parry each other lol

[crimson inlet]

ever played PvE content in league of legends before?
it's fun... once.

after that it's less than mediocre

even if they do something about Valheim pvp
there are a billion pvp games that will be better

Hello

https://tenor.com/view/borat-borat-very-nice-verynice-thumbs-up-gif-25080066

[ruby fossil]

Hello.

[gentle heron]

With all due respect, if you're not joking that is, I don't think the guy was being toxic at all. They were understanding afterwards even as to why it doesn't fit.

[scenic wing]

I really appreciate that the pots and pans require iron and copper- I think that’s a nice touch! But now I can’t help but be curious of the properties of a blackmetal pan? 🤔

[drowsy imp]

They're induction-only

[timid rampart]

So you can't use them in valheim

[umbral fog]

in that case they will be kinda hard to use as we are cooking on the fire 😄

[drowsy imp]

With a big enough fire, I'm sure they'd work~

[timid rampart]

With a swamp bonfire?

[drowsy imp]

Or they're like pre-seasoned cast iron pans, except they turn everything you cook green.

I'm sure that's healthy

[scenic wing]

We’re already eating draugr entrails, how much worse can it get lol

[timid rampart]

Absolutely, that's why everything from the swamps is so good

Even green poison

[untold night]

Nothing says opportunism like making sausages from the intestines of the undead.

[drowsy imp]

Which do you think it's worse: entrails from "freshly" slain draugr, or from those meat piles in the frozen caves

...yeah I think I'm skipping sausages from now on

[mystic ginkgo]

i have a lvl 2 black forge, black metal and ygdrasil wood why cant i make a blackmetal pickaxe

[drowsy imp]

You need a regular forge iirc

[hard iron]

How did you even get marble to make the forge before that? I think it's a level 4 regular forge though, like Scarlet said.

[drowsy imp]

Oh there's a couple ways to get marble without it

Dvergr structures can be demolished for it, and I think the Dvergr themselves drop some

[untold night]

Absolutely. If you can delve into Mistlands with 2 iron bars on your person, then build a stonecutter when you have an uninhabited tower to farm, it's just finger-lickin' good.

[ocean hound]

I’m surprised we haven’t had any magic rings in valheim. Norse mythology loved its rings.

[untold night]

I went into Valheim with a pristine ring. Some time later I came out very, very Thor.

[arctic torrent]

You can have seeker soldiers break the skeletons for black marble for you

[untold night]

You say that as though you can approach the soldiers and ask them politely to help out.

[arctic torrent]

Wait until you hear about this neat trick with trolls and copper/tin

[vague tundra]

hello i finally made it to the discord lol

[untold night]

I did ask several trolls to help with my ore mining. Most were less than hospitable and some even threw rocks at me.

[snow forge]

I had a troll help me mine on Tuesday but he was very bad at it.

I fired him.

[untold night]

Have you tried building a bridge and getting under it?

[snow forge]

No, I tend to set my bridges on fire to light the way.

Let the bridges we burn light our way is a wonderful saying. :>

[untold night]

So you prefer to dela with your trolls in more of a "Pkew pkew pkew" manner? 😛

[snow forge]

I like watching them burn.

[untold night]

I'd actually enjoy trolls being a little more of a threat, but only appearing at night. And if you can engage them into daylight, they turn to stone.

[snow forge]

I think they're properly dangerous for new players now.

[untold night]

Indeed. But they are almost trivially manageable for new characters of experienced players.

[arctic torrent]

Youll just find more trolls there

[snow forge]

As is pretty much everything.

The game should be balanced for new players, not veterans.

[untold night]

You're not wrong, but I feel like my insight has been belittled. 😛

[snow forge]

Brutes and trolls and shamans are proper dangerous mobs for someone who's not familiar with them yet.

[untold night]

The Shamans are crazy! They beat their Boss Drums, and if you don't deal with them quickly, they're like a Phorever People. You can appeal to their ideas of Love, Sex, and Intelligence, but it's a low percentage strategy, and they just seem to keep Comin' On.

I remember this being a food channel.. great times it was.. like yesterday

[untold night]

That sounds like a great idea! But, I'd recommend that you post it in the 'great ideas' channel.

[short thistle]

No, no this is channel exclusively for generals (high rank officers)

[snow forge]

We should have an admiral channel for those of us who like sailing.

[timid rampart]

I wonder if we have any here

[dense vessel]

Just went through an entire frost cave, cabins, hugeee mountain and no vegisvir

[tough aspen]

Not off-topic and can't just post anything, this isn't a fan-server after all ^^

[dense vessel]

Time to go boating again …: )

I hope I don’t have to go through the pain of bringing iron copper and stuff with me along the trip and take 2 hours to make a second base

[untold night]

Keep looking. The mode(r) is, by definition, the most common number.

[tough aspen]

At this point you're more likely to run into her altar than her vegvisir xd

Got it : ) I’ll also just grab dragon eggs in the mountain lol

[dense vessel]

True XD same goes for yagluth (sometimes)

[sleek needle]

lol so i've not touched channel and roles since the discord got back up and running - went there and clicked public tester role and all the channels disappeared and i freaked out

[dense vessel]

Alright, taking a trip to look for a large mountain again..

[snow forge]

If you press the down arrow next to Valheim at the top of the screen there's a tickbox with show all channels.

For some reason going to the channels and roles thing unticks that.

[sleek needle]

there's also a role to show all channels anyway

[tardy vale]

Just found a two star boar!!

[zealous anchor]

fun fact, you get bees that instead of going to flowers, they eat corpses and make corpse honey

[tough aspen]

don't we all

[zealous anchor]

make corpse honey? or eat corpses?

[tough aspen]

entrails? 🤷‍♀️

[zealous anchor]

fair but i dont think entrails can really be considered meat

[tough aspen]

but they're corpsy

I dunno man I was making a bad joke

[zealous anchor]

our valheim guy certainly is a cannibal though vulture bees are well kinda... wierd

[hazy cobalt]

The game is on sale at just under 8 pounds (UK), worth getting?

[night nacelle]

YES

one of a kind game, if you can find friends to play with its a classic experience

[hard iron]

I've got almost 1200 hours in Valheim, and at $20 American I've paid a $0.016 per hour, and I'm still coming back to it 😛 If you like the survival/crafting/building genre, it's definitely a top tier in that vein.

[hazy cobalt]

Ill do it, seems like a really good game

[rugged stag]

Valheim has veins too!

[tough aspen]

2200+ hours, still a 10/10 purchase with daily replay value

[short thistle]

I think $20s already a steal for the content, it's unlike most other early access games

[tardy vale]

the "buissiness" model look is about 1$ per hour of gameplay content 🤔

I read it in one of those cool guides "why games cost so much nowdays" 😦

[short thistle]

So we're used to games being overpriced 😂

[hazy cobalt]

Yes 🤣

[ocean hound]

When you talk to businessmen about this they will say that games compared to other forms of entertainment are underpriced….some games you get 100s of hours of entertainment for nothing compared to buying a movie, going to a theme park, etc.

They keep raising prices, people keep buying though, so I guess they aren’t wrong 😬

It’s insane to me that 10,000,000 people bought valheim and yet there’s only like 20-50k playing at one time.

[tardy vale]

most games cost between 49,99 and 59,99 😦

[ocean hound]

I don’t know about you but I’ve stopped buying most games in that price point. They’re usually corporate crap that aren’t fun.

There seems to be an inverse correlation between price and fun nowadays 😂😂

[tardy vale]

I just add all things I like to wishlist. and wait for steam sale :/

[zealous anchor]

dont the new AAAA games cost like 70 USD?

[tardy vale]

Diablo 4 was even higher priced AFAIK 🤔

[zealous anchor]

thats almosta thousand dollars for me and a thousand dollars is quite a lot of money here

[hard iron]

I refuse to buy anything from Blizzard, regardless of how good it's reviewed. Same with Ubisoft.

[zealous anchor]

ill not say what i do with EA games or ubisoft games lol

[dapper hedge]

D4 is non Diablo....

Same as Warcraft3 reforged or C&C4 ...

moin everyone 🙂

[zealous anchor]

hi

[dapper hedge]

as a child, EA was a sacred brand, today it's consumerism for me, unfortunately. I hope they change my opinion, I am willing to learn^^

[zealous anchor]

their sims series is pretty well... bland with out the 100 DLC they sell for it

[lean fable]

Mo

In

[tough aspen]

I still buy them >_>

[zealous anchor]

i got the paid one from my sister
she gota few dlc for it
she later left the house
i got the game with all of its DLC
i didnt want to buy anymore but well
a bit of geek here and there well lets just say i own them now

[tough aspen]

for me is like

cute new chair
makes brain happy
buy

[zealous anchor]

thats.... very straightforward, the exact people EA wants

it has a positive effect on me every time i see them with you. It doesn't do anything for me then 🙂

i come from germany, i hear the green flowers blooming in 3 weeks^^

[zealous anchor]

kinda sounds likea compliment?
Thanks?

[dapper hedge]

shame, you got me 😄

yes it is

[zealous anchor]

in japan they bloomed 11 days earlier than they shouldve bloomed so its a bunch of ecological mishap becouse of it

[tough aspen]

Germany is lovely ❤️

[dapper hedge]

nice to know

[grave vine]

cool base you have, looked at YouTube 😼 👍

[tough aspen]

Thanks!

[dapper hedge]

they all call me McCube and they're right. i can't build anything and i'm always amazed by what you conjure up.

[lunar musk]

an amazing array of boxes you have there Batman

[grave vine]

@dapper hedgeyou can, you just haven't found your style yet 😸

[lunar musk]

really is the easiest way to build until you outgrow it

or force your way out against the tide like in most building games 😅

[grave vine]

@dapper hedgeif you don't start walking, you won't get anywhere 😼 even if you don’t get what you hoped for, the experience of creativity will remain with you and will be useful in something else 😸

[lunar musk]

some buildings use shape particularly to look more imposing

big old "look at me" castles

[grave vine]

I love big buildings, but I try to make them as light as possible, not massive 😼

[lunar musk]

i like the approach of "what would real vikings have done back in the day", steadily building up, working with the land, trying to show that organic development

[grave vine]

they lived in dugouts lined with peat, together with their sheep and cows, in the same house, after 5 years you get used to the smells, I think 😹

[lunar musk]

maybe a little more grand than those xD

[grave vine]

no, 20-30 people in one house along with livestock, imagine the aroma 😹

[lunar musk]

farm fresh

luckily we don't have much in the way of hygiene to manage in Valheim, just a beard trim if needed

or a soak in the tub

yes ppl did a lot of strange things back in the day

i really don't think we're allowed to discuss that here

[grave vine]

these are just historical facts, in my opinion we are not judging anyone 😸

[lunar musk]

i thought religion and politics were not allowed

[grave vine]

what about Odin and Thor? 🙀

[lunar musk]

probably like in game, barely seen/referenced xD

[grave vine]

in my opinion, I simply provided a historical context to substantiate my statement about the dirty and the neat in the early Middle Ages, no more and no less 😸

[tardy vale]

[gleaming lance]

Odin just creepily watches me chop trees and Thor is like a Santa that only gives coal

[umbral fog]

perhaps you have been only bad 😄

[grave vine]

he only gives coal to those Vikings who behaved well all year, be a real Viking and behave badly 😹

[rustic geode]

so have we hit the like

ptb hype phase yet

hey smiffe, was ashlands full release for like, q2 or first half of the year

or was it the ptb?

also what is the first half of the year even, may or june??

[grave vine]

@tardy valehang in there 😹

[lunar musk]

channel description is all we have

and June

[rustic geode]

yeah, i'll just assume it's june

[snow forge]

The first half of the year is the first 6 of the 12 months. :p

[grave vine]

Does anyone even read it? 😸

[rustic geode]

31st, 11:59pm

[grave vine]

By the way, the first half of the year is shorter than the second, so the wait isn’t that long 😼

[snow forge]

Indeed.

[rustic geode]

oh yeah i guess that's true isn't it

[tardy vale]

https://tenor.com/view/no-gif-1050270031768215821

[sour quest]

Greetings fellow Vikings

[rustic geode]

anyways smiff, ptb or full release

[tardy vale]

https://tenor.com/view/shrug-power-rangers-hmm-oh-gif-14090028006337292836

I think full release

since PTB is PTB

[rustic geode]

that's it, im assuming it's full release for the first half of the year now

[tardy vale]

can be 5 days. or 14 days

depending on how bad issues arise

[rustic geode]

i'll be the one playing the ashlands ptb day 1 and somehow bricking my save file

the way god intended

[lunar musk]

press backup harder

almost always works 😅

[lunar musk]

on the PTB, it won't just drop as an update patch? i think was what they were asking

[drowsy imp]

It'll be on PTB first, for however long it needs to be before full release

But full release is within first half of the year still

[lunar musk]

as suspected

[tardy vale]

Internal test -> Public test -> full release

always

[lunar musk]

thanks for the clarify 👍

always good to hear these things fresh, even if said before

[fossil bobcat]

what does PTB mean?

[drowsy imp]

Public test branch

[rustic geode]

See, the only issue with updates is that it fucks over my mods :(

[drowsy imp]

It's a separate branch from the default 'stable' branch that has updates in development, that have been deemed fit for public testing but not yet ready for live

[rustic geode]

It’s like early access for an update

[drowsy imp]

More or less, yeh~

PTB might update in ways that break saves, which is why we always ask folks to make backups if they're jumping on PTB

But live branch doesn't have that problem

[fossil bobcat]

so i shouldnt expect ashlands very soon

[lunar musk]

it's an intensive testing phase where we get to "get our hands on it" and discover any all game breaking things we can crash test it with, after the extensive testing done before that

[rustic geode]

Full release, define soon, PTB is nearing

[drowsy imp]

For stable, within the first half of this year. For PTB, sometime sooner.

[modest moth]

For the stable version no

[rustic geode]

Ashlands still only has like a 3 month time limit

[modest moth]

Something to bring to those mods' authors

[rustic geode]

3.5

[rustic geode]

Yeah, but they’re doing all they can do

[rugged stag]

Does Rianu wish for flowers?

[marsh sentinel]

Some do, some don't. If they all took part in the PTB, they could test their own updates during that time and have their final version ready to go when the update is released.

[drowsy imp]

Rianu how have you not been flowered yet

[snow forge]

Rianu Flowers.

[lunar musk]

noises

[modest moth]

Oh god

[snow forge]

Congrats on your promotion, Mechanic!

[rugged stag]

I'll take this as a no then 😛

[marsh sentinel]

Mechanic, does your name have two spaces beetween one flower and one space between the other?

[modest moth]

Also, be happy. New content means new assets authors can use

Imagine modded ||siege engines, enchantments||, etc

[lunar musk]

seems like

[drowsy imp]

No space on first and one space on second - just fixed that~

[modest moth]

I could accept the flowers if I got my original name back. Monves sounds weird

[lunar musk]

.

[marsh sentinel]

Ah, I could see a difference, just wasn't sure what it was.

[drowsy imp]

I'll give you Meeves back in exchange for cherry blossoms

[lunar musk]

nice

[lean fable]

Man over here had his name stolen from him

[modest moth]

I receive flowers.

You get a new cult member

[drowsy imp]

Is that a yes~?

[modest moth]

Alright

[rustic geode]

Oh don’t get me wrong, I’m super hyped for Ashlands

[lunar musk]

🌺

[rustic geode]

And with Ashlands being released, all those mods that like “finish” the unfinished biomes can put all their effort into JUST the deep North

[drowsy imp]

And there ya go~

[timid rampart]

Think twice, there's no way back

[modest moth]

Cults never have a way back

[snow forge]

Don't think twice, it's allright.

[lunar musk]

too late

[scenic wing]

Welcome!

[lunar musk]

there is no "thinking" outside the hive mind now

[modest moth]

That is true

And they can use ashlands content as inspiration to what DN could be

[rustic geode]

Tbh, I hope they just go wild with their ideas

[timid rampart]

I once tried to break free, they found me and gave me more mutations

[rustic geode]

Modded content is always neat, because I like seeing how other people view the game, what other people think the game needs

[modest moth]

They're not mutations, they're gifts

[timid rampart]

That how they call it

[rustic geode]

The only issue with modded biomes is that there’s usually not a lot too them, other than new ore and a boss stone

[modest moth]

The Flower has spoken

[snow forge]

Gifts from Tzeentch.

[lunar musk]

Meeves again

[modest moth]

Lords of Change Gardening

[lunar musk]

at least yours weren't wonky 😒

[modest moth]

It's a good thing that there aren't many of them. I'm sure they're much more prompt to break after updates

[rustic geode]

True

So, ptb this month or announcement for PTB this month

Call it

[lunar musk]

absolutely we can't

[tulip mauve]

why always the need to call it?

[rugged stag]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-patience-cat-cute-pets-gif-5544229

That's my only "call it" response

in due time vikings, in due time

[lunar musk]

(plus speculation is the path to the darkside of twitter storms)

[rustic geode]

It’s fun to speculate

Something is happening this month, they wouldn’t just cancel the walk and talks for no purpose

So my two guesses are PTB, or a release date for a PTB

[marsh sentinel]

They haven't cancelled them? They've just done all the ones they intended.

[trim ember]

It's very attractive to assume the walk and talks ending means something

[timid rampart]

ptb stands for pointless to bother.. with guessing

[rustic geode]

It better, I LOVED those walk and talks

[trim ember]

Thats the thing. Dunno/don't think so 🫠

Same

[lunar musk]

we know what we know, there's not much time left, and the window decreases every day

[rustic geode]

Exactly

[worn basalt]

Holy hell I just found the mistlands, it's terrifying xD

[violet belfry]

Run!

[craggy holly]

started Mistlands properly 3 days ago, just did some farming beforehand, Gjalls are scary, the night is terrifying

[dense vessel]

Got flax and a ton of black metal before moder 😂 I’m getting everything except moder’s vegisvir…

[strong cobalt]

[marsh sentinel]

Still this half of 2024.

[gusty hazel]

SOON™

[hard iron]

Have you met a Gjall yet? 😉

[crimson inlet]

🎈

[arctic torrent]

?

[crimson inlet]

Im not dev sorry

Try again later

[marsh sentinel]

No-one is leaking anything, as far as I know.

Oh, you mean the promotional teasers that's just basic marketing?

The game isn't dead 😕 But I can see this conversation going nowhere.

[arctic torrent]

I dont think thats exactly how that works

[crimson inlet]

🎣

[crimson inlet]

It's bait

[arctic torrent]

Rip akira toriyama though

[marsh sentinel]

They've nearly tripled their team since EA launch.

Shit, it's June already?

[arctic torrent]

Just keep in mind that trolling is against the server rules

[crimson inlet]

Taking bait should be against rules too 💀

[hard iron]

What's going to happen when the game is done and they have a ton of employees to keep paying? They're being responsible to the people they hire. The game will not be a "forever" game like lost of companies try to turn everything into.

[marsh sentinel]

TIL 9 months is nearly a year.

[rugged stag]

it's not 9 3/4 tho D:

[crimson inlet]

He's playing them like a fiddle
Wait for dev then tell them all the good stuff

[rugged stag]

Those who are into Valheim purchase and play the game.
Those who dislike Valheim either don't buy it or refund it.

Nothing wrong with either, Valheim has it's audience, and those who enjoy it are - for the most part - in this discord, the official reddit page, twitter, facebook and steam community

[crimson inlet]

Valid opinion
You are allowed to be annoyed

[rugged stag]

People complained about not having any news for mistlands until it's release, or rather too few updates

[crimson inlet]

But none of these guys will help you
I think people who take the bait are worse

[craggy moth]

I think it would be more fun if they released updates about what won't be in ashlands.

[crimson inlet]

I feel whoever took the bait should also receive a similar one

[craggy moth]

Which is why we need more levity. In the form of a monthly update about the playable deer character venturing through fake ashlands content.

[marsh sentinel]

Well, it's April soon, we'll get something.

I don't think an April Fool's joke is really what you're after.

[toxic wagon]

and there he goes

[modest moth]

Seeing this kind of comments at least several times per week is a lot more annoying...

And we have to deal with it anyway. Do the same, whining won't make them release stuff faster

So the creator of Dragon Ball passed away...

Isn't that just great...

[rugged stag]

Not larsi mentioning the same thing 😛

[modest moth]

Time zones or something idk

[visual steppe]

is there going to be like 10 more walk and talks before ashlands comes out?

[marsh sentinel]

There will be no more.

[snow forge]

Mornin'

[crimson inlet]

Avatar's Agni Kai theme is jammin

[crimson inlet]

No

[crimson inlet]

Why not 🤨

[rugged stag]

The internet bores me when it comes to matters like these 😄

Watch the new remake or don't that's fine. No need to talk shit about it 😄

[crimson inlet]

Say that about the movie

[rugged stag]

I will any day but even so, somebody here may enjoy it

[crimson inlet]

I wish I had someone tell me it's pure shit
I watched it in theatre

[crimson inlet]

Red flag if someone said they enjoyed the movie

[rugged stag]

Hey, I had free tickets to Baywatch and I'm glad I did

(in the sense it was terrible)

[drowsy imp]

ATLA is cursed to receive worse adaptations of the original work

[crimson inlet]

Well yeah because the standard was way too high

[drowsy imp]

One of its best episodes is specifically about a poor retelling of the show's story

[crimson inlet]

You mean 41?

[rugged stag]

I enjoyed the new remake tv show. Sure I was expecting a few things and a majority of what I was expecting came through - ||secret tunnel primarily||

[crimson inlet]

They sprinkled something on it 🤓

[rugged stag]

hmm?

[crimson inlet]

Very subtle
If you know you know

As for the rest
||Important and fun character development completely cut off
Stories are very rushed in the wrong way, like uncle iroh and zuko are already displaying huge hints of where their loyalties are
and maybe it's a nice addition, but aang never waterbended
They follow the story well but then decide to change unnecessary parts instead of adding their own flare||

Other than that, pretty damn solid and would like season 2
And a longer one at that

Season 1 could have been an experiment

And I'd say pretty well done

[rugged stag]

I don't think there's much point comparing the original work with the remakes so closely - the way I see it I can justify why it makes sense ||aang never learnt waterbending|| - if that's the publics main concern then they shouldn't be watching it 😄

[zealous anchor]

feel like 15 discord updates in 8 hours isa bit much

[rugged stag]

Watch it for what it is, what it brings not to compare with the original. As Scarlet said earlier, (in other words) nothing will ever compare with a years old original

[rugged stag]

15 updates rolled out in 8 hours but 2 weeks to fix my phone verification issue a couple years ago

[zealous anchor]

lol

[rugged stag]

If you as a viewer can set down the high expectations that the remake will match episode by episode, scene by scene of the original show - you'll enjoy the remake

[crimson inlet]

There is I feel in this case because ||they're following it as much as they can and they're rushing
I don't mind them adding or changing things. I loved the war plans and division 41, it's amazing. But we learned of Irohs defeat and death of his son way too early||

[rugged stag]

That's still a close comparison though 😄

ofc you'll be dissapointed if going by the original too closely

to me, after having watched both now, I (imho) believe the remake sense in it's changes

[crimson inlet]

That's why they should try to justify their changes

[rugged stag]

Putting a new light on things and I feel as though they explained it (to some degree)

[crimson inlet]

In the original you get context on why
In the remake it's more like
It happened in the animation so we're doing it here

But still great show

Take this example

[rugged stag]

My major gripe (and my only one) on the remake is the ||owl from the shadow realm, iirc you only see that owl in the sunken desert library|| ||the owls behavior is odd as well - it didn't attack them but was more Hugin in nature||

[crimson inlet]

||why bother with the lovers cave at all if you completely miss the reason for it?
Surely sibling love worked but it's so random and uninspired||

[crimson inlet]

I liked that, I don't mind that at all

[rugged stag]

odd but ok 😄 - on the topic of changed things that's a pretty major one and you're fine with it?

[crimson inlet]

You should have mentioned the part where

[rugged stag]

Oh there

[crimson inlet]

||he pulled katara and sokka into the spirit world||

It's hard to explain where I stand on this

[rugged stag]

I can't comment on that - I feel heavily biased / apathy towards the show as a whole. Maybe not apathy but as I said I enjoy it for what it is

[crimson inlet]

I feel if they should deviate
They should really deviate

And if they'll follow it, they shouldn't try to make unnecessary changes

[rugged stag]

I still think the internet need to losen up as a whole towards it though

[crimson inlet]

||like yeah suki and sokka sure, but there was 0 build up, sokka was supposed to be sexist then get humbled. The whole interaction was more like "it happened in the animation so we do it here" ||

[rugged stag]

||Omg Aang is flying in episode 1 !!!!||

no.. no..

[crimson inlet]

Yeah in sir's case
Watch first

The show is good

[rugged stag]

sir's?

[crimson inlet]

Sir tea biscuit

[rugged stag]

I'm glad you edited that cos I was rapidly gaining confusion

[crimson inlet]

Don't watch the movie though
That one you can trust everyone when they say it sucks

[crimson inlet]

[rugged stag]

I agree

6-8 earthbenders for what? 3 pebbles

[crimson inlet]

I was coping as a kid when I watched it because I loved the animation too much

That movie is such a crime

[rugged stag]

People also have a gripe on ||bending as whole/combat as a whole feeling slow - imho it's fine, directors have explained they slowed it down for dramatic purposes at specific moments.|| and ||Azula not feeling "Azula" like. I'm fine with her in the show and her growing anger is justified, plus the jealousy.|| ||Was she always a teachers pet in approach with the throne though?||

[crimson inlet]

I agree with both gripes
||I hate how slow it was at some points, and azulas character is a bit butchered||

[rugged stag]

You could argue though, the original gave the remake the path to follow and the shit movie gave the remake the shoes not to wear

[crimson inlet]

||I feel that viewers are not too dumb to watch a fight sequence that's normal speed
I don't want it to slow down that much||

[rugged stag]

I didn't find it slow

or rather, not as slow as the movie

[crimson inlet]

O boi I couldn't stand it

But when it wasn't slow
It was 11/10

[rugged stag]

on a side note I'm 11/10 convinced I've sailed into a giant lake...

[crimson inlet]

Especially in ||Omashu, we need more of Aang's monk style fighting / Jackie Chan ish||

It's incredible in the animation and we need more of it

Also a final note

||Ozai looks amazing||

[rugged stag]

The beginning of the series gave some great context into ||how the southern air temple fell||. I'm not sure the original really dove into it that much - may need to rewatch the original

[crimson inlet]

I'm rewatching the original very casually
Half an episode a day

[rugged stag]

I can't unsee ||ozai|| as the leader of Candor in the Divergent series ❤️

[crimson inlet]

When I'm having breakfast

Actually

||all of them look good except azula and whatever zukos gf is called, Mai?||

[rugged stag]

Morning cuties! And happi waman's day to all the ladies in here!

[proven dagger]

Lore: A body of traditions and knowledge on a subject or held by a particular group, typically passed from person to person by word of mouth.
Stay a while and listen is the catch phrase from decard cain in the diablo 2 and 3 games.

[oblique plover]

haha, ok, i see ^^
i just somehow don't expect that ppl make jokes with my name bc it's pronounced differently than the english word 😅 although i sometime make those jokes myself

[proven dagger]

Interesting, how do you pronounce it correctly?

[oblique plover]

it's a german name where the "e" isn't silent. if you say Loreley and you just cut the word after the "e" then i think you are nearly there. in my case it's the short form of "Eleonore" (which is btw not my first name)

[proven dagger]

So you pronounce it about the same as here in Belgium I presume.
Though since we are mostly talking English in here I do tend to pronounce it in English in my head.

[oblique plover]

i know, i tried to prevent that by adding a made up last name which is clearly not english
however i'm totally ok with ppl making jokes with the name 😊 i'm just to stupid to get them sometimes

[proven dagger]

Yeah for about 3 years now.

[oblique plover]

well i'm old enough to get it - if i would've played it

i think i was occupied playing civilisation and hopped then into spellforce. but there were definitely other smaller games i tried to distract myself with which i don't remember. my brain tends to erase stuff in the past.

You could count the whole minute as well but takes longer ^^

[proven dagger]

Yeah that would elevate your hearth-rate, any reason or just always in that state?
No need to tell me, if you don't want to.

[tough aspen]

it's just how it be 🥲 plus having coffee atm maybe that's not helping

[ruby fossil]

r.i.p to my wallet

-16k

[tough aspen]

Plus isn't it different for guys and girls or am I misremembering

[rugged stag]

So I'm already aware I don't have the greatest health - and have the meds for it but 70 beats a minute - lying down. Probably not helping that I'm actively thinking about the anxiety of posting this in a public channel 😄

no need to tell me that I'm living life dangerously

[tardy vale]

That's perfectly fine mate

70-90 are for nomies

[proven dagger]

70, lying down is pretty ok.
Standard is 60-100 beats a minute while resting.

[rugged stag]

should've seen me one day at the doctors stressed about being seen 30-40 minutes after my scheduled time - went in, they randomly checked my blood pressure rate and uh...

yeah

the rest I'll dm you smiffe 😄 should you be interested

[proven dagger]

No you are remembering correctly, an adult female heart is typically smaller than a mans so needs to beat a bit faster to get the same bloodflow.
About 10 ish beats faster.

[tardy vale]

You need to lie down for like 15 minutes before your pulse go down tho. And relax 😅

And sitting up. Both feet solid on the floor. Arms at same level under your heart is preferred

[tough aspen]

If I mathed correctly, it was 92. Am I gonna die ;-;

[tough aspen]

I did none of that, I'm sat like a pretzel at my pc

[proven dagger]

Nope, 92 is perfectly fine.
Anything between 60-100 is average in a resting position like Smiffe stated.
So you are probably doing stuff maybe playing Valheim and that might elevate your heart rate, so if it is 92 while not really resting is certainly fine.

[proven dagger]

There was a time about 20 years ago that my heart-rate was in the 40's and then I quit sporting and gained some weight.
Went from a minimum of 8 hours of sports to 0 in the span of a couple of months.
About 2 years ago I started sporting more and eating healthier and I've got it down to in the 50's.

[umbral fog]

hmm, i thought 80 was on the higher end, but well... normal enough it seems 😄

[tough aspen]

yeah but ur a baby

[umbral fog]

sure sure XD

[proven dagger]

Yeah, babies have a higher heart-rate.

[lean fable]

Probably 37 getting called a baby

Was finally surfing the site, reading the latest news you know👀 Have a question now. Are the people who translate the game into other languages ​​and the official website the same people?

[modest moth]

Probably not. The game is translated by volunteers. Idk who translates the website.

Especially considering it seems like the website has a more limited number of languages available

[scenic wing]

I lost 30$ and decided to never gamble again lol

[timid rampart]

The problem with the site is that it keeps giving me my localised version, and even if i switch to english it just switches back in 5 sec;) so i had to study the translated version, and it's... not perfect, even scary sometimes

[proven dagger]

There was an introduction to gambling in the casino we were staying in and everyone that showed up got 30 dollars in practice chips.
If you won you'd get real chips instead.
So I played a bit of roulette and blackjack each time I made 55 dollars I'd put 25 away and keep going with the 30, racked up a bit more than 200 dollars before I lost the 30 starting chips and called it a night.

[modest moth]

That must be an issue on your end, every time I switch it to english it never switches back on its own

Unless someone tries with another language and happens the same thing, in that case it must be website issue

[timid rampart]

I guess it's either the mobile version or my browser issue, not sure. Didn't attempt to fix this

[neon gust]

Hello everyone, I cant find if there was a patch last night but since this morning I have gpu issues while playing Valheim. Everytime I open the game it takes gpu usage to %100 constantly and 80+ degrees temp. This doesnt happen with other games. Anyone else is having the same issue?

this does not cause lag spikes or low fps but exhausting the cooler fan with unneccessary usage

AND in this time my gpu literally has higher values than cpu 😄

higher usage.. higher temp..

[tough aspen]

I'd suggest posting in #valheim-help or #steam-bugs-discussion , people there are more specializied ^^

[neon gust]

alright thank you 🙂

[tough aspen]

We just talk about flowers or blood pressure 🥲

[tough aspen]

Just keep in mind those channels can be a bit slow because of the questions being specific ^^

[tardy wagon]

When can we start the church of bees? We have two completing flowers now 😂

[sleek needle]

it's all flowers till there's a tupperware emoji

[tough aspen]

yall be mean :C it's for spring

[gray orbit]

Havent been keeping up with news, any eta on the ashlands content?

[tardy wagon]

Not yet, keep an eye on social media

[gray orbit]

Been feeling the itch for a game like this again

I dont use social media 😅

I'll keep track on discord

[tardy wagon]

Here counts too, you will see it go live on the public test branch when it's ready

[hard iron]

Only some people 😛 I finished BG3, so I'm good to go pretty much whenever. It'd provide a welcome distraction

[lean fable]

got so many things to do, and a later update always means longer time to polish it up if needed

[marsh sentinel]

We're currently stretching our run of V Rising until it drops, but we've only got one proper boss left to kill.

[tardy wagon]

The great thing about the release coming out sooner than desired for an individual is you can always wait to play it and have other people find all the bugs first 😄

[lean fable]

then there's me, who lives for bugs

[modest moth]

I knew I shouldn't have changed the timeline...

[merry mist]

Oh boy, thats a subject I wish I could rant about.

#general message Yee

[tough aspen]

thank you for the lovely comment ;-; 🩷

[tardy vale]

Lol ok ok 😅

[scenic wing]

I still got mistlands content to go through 👀 almost there though!

[snow forge]

Same, I've barely looked at Mistlands yet. :p

[scenic wing]

I was making good time, then I discovered tar. Then progress pretty much came to a standstill while playing around with all the darkwood stuff lol

[snow forge]

I just keep getting distracted and start new saves.

And my highest progress has all been on servers that have died off.

[ocean hound]

Yes if Ashlands releases next week I’m in trouble. I really need a mid April release at the earliest.

[true pendant]

I mean as long as you have the tools rebuilding on a new server shouldn't be too bad

[scenic wing]

I struggle with that so much. I’m always starting new worlds, for almost no real reason in hindsight lol. This goes for a lot of games I play, not just Valheim. But sometimes early game is just so fun and satisfying lol.

[true pendant]

ye I get that

[snow forge]

We were ready to beat Yagluth at one of them, just didn't get around to it, and then me and the other still active player were still increasingly distracted by solo games and we just never did it. Another server we did explore Mistlands a bit, but in swamp level gear so we were rather careful and didn't go very far in (but met a few enemies and found some stuff and had a couple of what the fuck is that panicky moments. :p

[snow forge]

It's not the rebuilding that's hard, it's the "we're all going to play the same game at the same time and somewhat at the same speed".

[true pendant]

Mistlands is a lot of stuff

[snow forge]

This sums up me pretty much as well. I love starting new stuff and early game is awesome.

I did make a save where I brought an old toon and made a base next to Mistlands to start exploring it but it felt wrong to just skip to that part of the game. :p

[true pendant]

I got a pretty excellent map for my singleplayer

Elder & Moder altars + Trader within 5 minutes walk and all on an island that I could get to from the start

Had to search around for Bonemass a bit though

[hard iron]

Yeah... I mostly play solo, getting through the Mistlands can be interesting. I nearly died to a one-star Seeker Soldier in my root+fenris getup. I really need to find a mine so I can get some cores...

[true pendant]

Took over a draugur town right in the middle of it all, swamp to the west, dark forest to the east, Elder altar beyond the swamp, Moder altar beyond the forest

Eventually found plains but it was pretty far south

[hard iron]

Nice. Yeah, it can be easier to head east and west a lot of times, but sometimes the world just pushes you in those directions

[true pendant]

I like the fact that there are copper and iron scraps in mistlands

Makes it a lot easier to set up a base and have access to all the things that can't be reached by portal

I think the map generation just generally gets screwy when mistlands come into play though

Too many biomes to mix

[tardy vale]

100% with the intent of "if you need it, you can find some of it so you don't have to go back into older biomes just to farm stuff"

[outer stirrup]

how do i play multiplayer

[hard iron]

Check in #1024264966712340510 is a good place to start. But Valheim is very much intended to play with trusted friends and not randos on the internet, it has virtually no cheat or griefing protections.

[rustic geode]

same

[outer stirrup]

i dont mind about randos

[glass hollow]

We're just saying to be careful because sometimes people aren't necessarily nice and they take things they shouldn't and try to sabotage your server.

Not to say probably 99% of the people on here are awesome but it's just something to be aware of.

[trim ember]

does anyone know what the Devs intended with the roadmap idea of "moonphases"?

[marsh sentinel]

Phases of the moon?

[snow forge]

Nothing's ever been said about that as far as I can recall.

[outer stirrup]

yeah lol ofc funny discord description of yours btw lol. but yeah i just wna play the game with others thats all xDDD

[marsh sentinel]

You can?

[deep ridge]

Are there only 7 Devs? Or is that only on this discord server?

[marsh sentinel]

There are 14 devs at the moment.

[snow forge]

13, I think. The amount online in mid-evening is hardly indicative of the actual amount. Oh maybe 14 now.

[marsh sentinel]

Only one is really active to any great degree.

[snow forge]

Some people leave computers and discord on 24/7, some people turn off their computers when they're not using them.

[deep ridge]

Ok thank you!

[tough aspen]

calling me out like that

[marsh sentinel]

I use Discord on several devices so it tends to get confused.

[true pendant]

Don't ever have two people in the same room on the same discord call across two devices.

Your ears will not survive the screech

[crimson inlet]

Never had the screech before and we were 4
Unless you mean to be on speaker

[true pendant]

Yeah I mean, any instance where the speakers on one can get past the sensitivity of another person's mic and loop constantly

[crimson inlet]

All calls do that

Anyway heaviest rain soon
Hope they don't send 300 alerts at 4 am

[minor swan]

Anyone read Three body problem?, my bad

[snow forge]

Not yet but it's on my bookshelf and I am looking forward to reading it (didn't notice we were in the wrong chat either).

[marsh sentinel]

Topic drift is a tricksy thing.

[snow forge]

All channels are general channel.

[tough aspen]

I expected better from you, Derek-chan.

[marsh sentinel]

In what way?

[minor swan]

I had never heard of the series it before, just saw the Netflix trailer the other day, so I read a quick review and order the book.

[tough aspen]

To stick to the channel ^^

I'm kidding don't ❓ me

[marsh sentinel]

Oh, yeah, pfft, I thought it would move on faster than it did.

[snow forge]

My sister loved the book and I've generally heard loads of good stuff about it.

[modest moth]

Yes

[marsh sentinel]

Good talk.

[scenic wing]

Yeah I just got locked inside a construction site 🥲 cool Friday things

[sudden prism]

why does everyone have flowers

[drowsy imp]

Tis springtime

[umbral fog]

we have one very playfull cat here 😄

[supple carbon]

are mass multiplayer servers ever going to be implemented at any point? i feel like that would be huge for the game

[umbral fog]

most likely no, it is a singleplayer game primarily and it just has co-op option

[marsh sentinel]

That would make no sense for Valheim.

[supple carbon]

i mean ive tried a mass multiplayer server and it was an incredible experience ngl

but no dedicated servers for it has always baffled me

[umbral fog]

again, its singleplayer game in the first place 😅

[autumn hornet]

Totem is only for multiplayer

[supple carbon]

i understand, i just imagine villages and people working different shops and stuff

[umbral fog]

what is totem?

[autumn hornet]

I think it'd be more like rust

[autumn hornet]

I mean the ward

[umbral fog]

not necesearly, it also alerts you that your structures are attacked,

[tough aspen]

It's a good indicator to know when your stuff is being attacked

[marsh sentinel]

So not Valheim then.

[autumn hornet]

Oh didn't know it did that. Cool

[scenic wing]

Villages and stuff was before your viking died, that’s all gone now 😂

[true pendant]

There's a server my brother played on, Comfy Valheim, sounds like the sort of thing you might be after

[supple carbon]

valheim but with more people, i dont understand your take

[supple carbon]

and yea this was the server, tbh i thought it was what the game could live up to be

[marsh sentinel]

It's like going to the Fifa Discord and asking for a battle royale mode.

[tardy vale]

*14

[tardy vale]

14. but at almost 20 minutes past 8 PM on a Friday night. we don't work so people turn of there Discord clients for the day 😄

[supple carbon]

literally just multiplayer valheim, you sound silly

the core valheim game, with like 100 people per server working together and building communities, fighting dungeons, etc

[marsh sentinel]

We HAVE multiplayer Valheim. You're asking for much more.

[supple carbon]

we have co-op, they arent the same thing

[upbeat drift]

It's just a smaller scale.

[snow forge]

A fish scale rather than a dragon scale?

[upbeat drift]

Indeed.

[true pendant]

Naw naw naw, not dragon scale

Serpent scale

[scenic wing]

Hypothetically, if there were 100 players on a world, what would that even look like? How would fighting a boss with 50 or so other players be fun in Valheim? Even 10 players (the vanilla limit afaik) is pretty chaotic I would imagine, yeah?

[upbeat drift]

Not to mention the scaling (heh)+ the already limited resources.

[true pendant]

Modding.

[scenic wing]

Right, I think something like giant servers and such is much more in the realms of mods versus base game. That’s just my take though 🙂

[supple carbon]

you usually only would have so many people at a time fighting a boss, but boss health and damage would scale to accommodate players, and yes its chaotic but thats fun sometimes. you havent lived until youve had 5 moders spawn on your boat while 10 other people are riding in it

mass server things lol

[supple carbon]

resources like crypts could respawn weekly

[true pendant]

Yeah they haven't found a way to do that yet....

Cores are the biggest issue from what I've heard

[supple carbon]

on that server i played cores were purchaseable or obtainable through quests

[supple carbon]

surtling spawners are also a thing, finding 2 close together will end your core search instantly

[upbeat drift]

I don't believe resources are supposed to respawn unless I missed something, but it honestly sounds like y'all just want mods to do the thing.
