general

[snow forge]

I understand this might be a strange concept, but some people actually enjoy helping communities they're part of.

[crimson inlet]

Isn't that the one with the badge?

[eager vigil]

I mean if you're paid, you have incentive to actually do it right. You'd be doing it for the money not "helping the community by clicking and typing commands"

[tardy vale]

yeah. why would someone volonteer be a police IRL for example

[crimson inlet]

But there are many of them who are like he mentioned

[tardy vale]

or be a doctor and help someone

[crimson inlet]

I wouldn't completely brush it off

[eager vigil]

Yeah. What kind of person wants to be a cop. Gotta wonder

It's not like there was a mass of unmarked graves found recently behind a prison

[gaunt ingot]

@eager vigil the worst kind

[snow forge]

There's a reason things like volunteer fire brigades and red cross lavine search teams and stuff doesn't exis- wait.

[tough aspen]

Ahhh the vibe is really shifting.

[eager vigil]

Cops are nice people

[gaunt ingot]

although, cops get paid rather handsomely

[tardy vale]

in my case. I do it because

1. I get paid to manage our community
2. I want people to follow the rules and that everyone will have a good time

[patent kernel]

Here comes the ban hammer

[eager vigil]

Well using cops as an example for community service and being kind. Not a good start

It's just.... Not something I would do

[crimson inlet]

You need to be more clear
You were onto something

[eager vigil]

Since the whole "climate" we have around that situation. Not getting into it

[tardy vale]

stay clear of politics ^^

[eager vigil]

This road doesn't end well and I'm not going to start that engine

Because it gets nasty

[eager vigil]

I didn't bring up police, my friend

[tardy vale]

I did

as an example 🤔

maybe I should have used a teacher instead

[patent kernel]

Really wasnt. He just brought up a problem that can occur in discords

[eager vigil]

Still bad example 🤦

[snow forge]

In Scandinavia policemen works as a good example. :p

[fleet breach]

[fast trout]

I was going to say, there are helpers in this server that are just genuinely nice people that enjoy the game.

Now they sound like a couple of cool dudes

[snow forge]

"Söta bror" ("sweet brother" in Swedish) is a term for Sweden/Swedes in Norway. :>

[eager vigil]

Point being. People often come to their own conclusions first, and everything that follows is a posthoc justification. We like to think we're "rational kind beings" so on and so on

a random video of 2 male actors kissing eachother is hardly valheim related or on topic

[eager vigil]

For those of you wondering since someone's mad and smug about it. The video is clipped so it's the end of Thor love and thunder. He kissed Jane as she's dying. Straight from the movie. They cut it so she turns into Loli in a flash of light and he says "mmm brother you look ravish" and he gets tossed aside angrily

[tardy vale]

so you are just trying very hard to be the "funny person"

Kinda funny youtube came out and finally admitted their algorithms were supressing and silencing the not approved channels

Yeah and the striking random people for covering news clips

But letting larger media sources show whatever they want

Man, sometimes I think yt is trolling me. I got recommended a Livestream of some neckbeard playing an unheard of game with 4 vieweds

Was comment disabling always a thing?

[patent kernel]

Seconded. They just threw a hissy fit coz it was downvoting all their precious DEI releases

[eager vigil]

Oh ffs. Are we really gonna bring that word in

[patent kernel]

My bad. Wont bring it up again

[crimson inlet]

🤨

[eager vigil]

You know when the big bridge fell. And the governor addressed it in a sound and solid normal way at 1am

And everyone screamed "dei!" In the replies on the clip and said the city was going to fall apart because of "dei"

Yeah that's why it's insufferable

[marsh sentinel]

So you know how you were keen to not bring politics up?

[crimson inlet]

What's this guy up to

[eager vigil]

Bridge falling ain't political

[crimson inlet]

🤨

[rugged stag]

Why are we discussing politics and war? let's not...

Every time try to change the subject, it gets back to somewhere stupid

So time to force steer this

Now it's about food. You can't stop it

[patent kernel]

Chimmichongas suck. There i said it

[eager vigil]

I'm gonna rant about how the concept of salad and eating healthy by filling up on empty lettuce and dressing is dumb

It started ok. Eat more greens, but now everywhere I go. Salads just full of sweets salt, cheese, and junk

Who actually believes it's healthy anymore

Stay mad. Root vegetables are the way to go

[tulip mauve]

I mean, depends what you get

[eager vigil]

Salad will not save you. I'm talking about your standard. Romaine lettuce, tomatoes, blue cheese and ranch dressing full of sweetener

[marsh sentinel]

I don't think ranch dressing is a thing outside the US.

[gaunt ingot]

lul

[eager vigil]

Lettuce by itself was only good because it's just watery leaves

Not should it be!

Legit at work 1/3 of our food options are just salad

[tardy vale]

it is

[gaunt ingot]

@eager vigil why do you hate freedom?

[hard iron]

Salads are great as long as you respect the calories in the dressing. American salads and dressings aren't really much better than soda, though.

[eager vigil]

I respect the freedom of people to be stupid

[gaunt ingot]

doesn't SOUND like it

[eager vigil]

And I have the freedom to disagree. So the question is

Why do YOU hate freedom

[gaunt ingot]

no YOU

[patent kernel]

Dang. Return serve

[tardy vale]

@marsh sentinel EXCUSE me. but Ranch dressing is very popular in scandinavia 😄

[gaunt ingot]

uno reverse CHECKMATE

[eager vigil]

😫😫😫😫😭

[marsh sentinel]

Fair enough.

[eager vigil]

Anyways I was going to just mine a crap ton of iron today. Finish my OCD set. Basically make and max every weapon, tool, equipment, armor possible. A collection of you will

[rugged stag]

Ah, the roundabout term for renovating country homes

[lean fable]

American bread is practically soda

[patent kernel]

Considering most of the American agricultural traditions are based off northern europeans im not surprised

[eager vigil]

Then I found a sunken crypt with all 3 paths dead ends. Put it in the discord

And then saw someone post an image with their control hints still on

It's actually infuriating

[lean fable]

In what possible way could that matter

[frosty walrus]

What’s the problem with this?

[marsh sentinel]

We couldn't work it out then either.

[eager vigil]

I like bread like the bread bowls at panera

[patent kernel]

Can....can someone get tristan a beer? I think they need it

[hard iron]

I tell you what, a good Reuben sammich though... American as it gets, but damn 😉

[umbral fog]

well google says we have it here too, but i never heard of anyone who would actually get it here or anywhere near us, i really thought its mainly US thing 😄

[eager vigil]

Ranch dressing is good if you're not trying to be healthy

[hard iron]

Blue cheese is superior to ranch anyway

[eager vigil]

Like on wings. It's ok. Buffalo on legs is the way to go though

Or fried chicken with buffalo sauce. The acidity leaves a weird mouth feel though

Blue cheese just tastes like hard salt to me. Sorry

And I'm usually a cheese nut. Brie is the best

Brie cheese in tiny amounts on those hard pretzel crackers

And often by itself

[snow forge]

Who cares about dressing anyway? In about two weeks we're getting the first white asparages! \o/

[gaunt ingot]

brie is s tier cheese

[eager vigil]

Also I don't do alcohol. Overdid it twice and literally just got really violent and broke a bunch of stuff

The smell makes me nauseous

First time was platinum (I think??) vodka 7x distilled

And the second was just bicardi gold rum. Bro it does NOT taste like molasses

[umbral fog]

well if you dont drink its good for you 😄 i dont think anyone will argue that

[snow forge]

Brie is b tier.
Saint Agur is s tier.

[eager vigil]

It's just hand sanitizer my dude.

I've never tried that. Gotta look it up

Is it like sweeter or smoother

[snow forge]

Cheddar is c tier.

[lean fable]

Provolone is s tier

[marsh sentinel]

I see what you're doing.

[snow forge]

Provolone is p tier.

[tardy vale]

is pegster being cheezy?

[rugged stag]

Naturally linking to Toblerone

[eager vigil]

Wait I just saw it. I think I tried it once. Is it really sharp? The st agur

I don't think I liked ot

[lean fable]

One of my coworkers said I got him stuck eating toblerones because I bought him one at a gas station one time and I don’t remember doing that in the slightest

[snow forge]

I ate a bunch of cheese earlier. Even had some Västerbotten.

[gleaming lance]

Camembert isa top tier

[eager vigil]

Cheese is good but Asian cuisine is where it's at. Well asian American. The stuff we have here is good

[lean fable]

[tardy vale]

Brunost? 👀

[snow forge]

No, it's yellow.

[eager vigil]

I like everything about brie. The solid, but soft rind. The creamy homogeneous inside with a bit of tank and the mold taste. Peniclium something or whatever. Not the blue bold you get on old wet bread

@snow forge you guys also eat pickles right?

[eager vigil]

I looked it up and got like 40 different images of very different looking cheese

[snow forge]

Some do, I don't. Well, not pickled cucumbers anyway.

[eager vigil]

Uh... I like my brie solid

[snow forge]

Pickled onion is nice.

[tardy vale]

but but.. it's so nice to cut them up into thin slices and put on cheece 😄

[eager vigil]

I've heard of melted brie toppings and sauce. Just can't picture it being as good

Ok unpopular opinion time

I really like kimchi

Look. I know it's just fermented cabbage in fish sauces and spices, but it's just really good

Dad's Korean. He hates it somehow.

"ew it smells like rotting fish and sewage"

Does anyone else like kimchi or am I alone

it's a cold, cold world out there

[snow forge]

Really not a fan of pickled cucumbers. They are common here though, a lot of people like eating weird stuff.

[eager vigil]

I'm ok with them. But they just taste like vinegar

And I like the taste of acetic acid

[snow forge]

When we have burgers at a place that put them on burgers I always give them to my friend. :p

[eager vigil]

But. Not really for a meal. Sea salt in vinegar chips aside, not something I would habitually add to my food

Ill take em on a burger. No issue there. Spears are a no go by themselves though

[lean fable]

hi

[outer glade]

What should I do when I get disconnected and the disconnect causes me to lose items?

[scenic wing]

Bummer! Maybe use console commands to get your items back?

[outer glade]

I recently got to mistlands, and I've been searching for ages to get the 8 black cores I had. Now I had the eitr refinery built, and after making eitr I demolished it and built the forge, at which point I disconnected. I then reconnected and the 5 black cores were gone

Idk how to do that

it's on a hosted server, so idk if I can do it either

[scenic wing]

I actually don’t know either, but I’m sure it’s not too difficult. Bring your character to a solo world, spawn the items in, then bring them to your server world.

https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Developer_console

[outer glade]

I tried spawning items in a solo world before, but I never got it to work. not sure what I did wrong

[scenic wing]

Here’s the wiki page on how to do it ^

[outer glade]

Okay, I'll have a look

Thanks 🙂

Why are these bugs still here though? I mean, this happened to me over 6 months ago on a previous server too

[scenic wing]

Just server disconnect stuff and world/character save stuff. I think it’s less of a bug and more of a save issue.

Someone else can probably put it way better than I can honestly lol

[outer glade]

Just feels like there's a limited amount of dungeons on a server, and if we keep losing items due to DCs it could result in us being unable to play the server without cheating

[scenic wing]

I suppose if 10 players all need/want 15 black cores, that could be an issue. But if players share work stations and such, there should be plenty 🙂

[outer glade]

I absolutely love this game, but there's technical things that really fucks with my will to keep playing. I'm a completionist horder when I play a game, and losing items like this annoys me so much. Another problem is the insane amount of lag that comes from building detailed bases with lots of light

Yeah we build separate bases on different islands

[fast trout]

I do lots of manual saves.

[outer glade]

Only really come together to do bosses and the "new" dungeons

How does manual saves help?

[fast trout]

When you crash or disconnect, it reverts back to the last auto save.

[outer glade]

I did do a manual save just before, as I know I have disconnect issues when loading the server

I was lagging a lot, so I did a manual save, quit game, started the game again, then it seemed fine so I disassembled the eitr refinery and all that, then the disconnect happened

when I got back on the items were gone

[fast trout]

Yeah, that sucks. So it didn't do a save while they were in your bag, hey?

I lost my sap extractor the other night when I went to move it and blue screened.

[outer glade]

i have 5 of those now, but I cant find these damn dungeons in mistlands lol

[scenic wing]

Ah, yeah I can see that getting competitive with lots of players. How many people play on your server?

[outer glade]

Considering sitting between these two visp fountains for 30 in-game days to collect visps and light up all the mistlands i can find

[fast trout]

The cores are tough. Did seven mines in a friend's world and only got four cores, then did one mine in my world and got nine.

[outer glade]

We're 5 daily regulars with 5 others binging now and then

[marsh sentinel]

There should be enough resources for that many players.

[outer glade]

Sure, but when we keep losing items

when limited items like these disappear from the server, we have to start cheating to get items, and we dont wanna do that. Slippery slope

[scenic wing]

Just curious, why don’t any players ‘team up’ and share a base? Lot easier to have 3-5 players share a forge than 3-5 players build their own, right?

[fast trout]

You could go into hammer mode in your world, make the bench, and craft the item you were about to make. Not really cheating seeing you had already gathered all the resources.

[outer glade]

I've had tons in some before, but in this world i've only found 8 in 3 days of playing 10+ hours

[patent kernel]

There is always that douchecanoe that steals stuff

[outer glade]

hmm.. I could, true.. I'll consider it if I can't find more cores soon

though damn, I cant even repair this himmathingy

[outer glade]

People just like doing their own thing, and dont wanna build together. I wouldnt mind it myself, but the rest dont wanna

[marsh sentinel]

It's kinda supposed to be a cooperative game, not an everyone for themselves MMO.

[outer glade]

Well, its really supposed to be a solo player game, so no

[marsh sentinel]

Exactly.

[fast trout]

There is that. But maybe with the added confidence of a new weapon, you'll immediately stumble across several more mines!

[outer glade]

we have different playstyles. I play to go big. I build big bases in different biomes, build bridges and tons of stuff that people will randomly meet with no clue who made it. Some play to build nice small bases to make it pretty and such, and some wanna build "true to the age" and so on

I'm confident as hell. I never die and know what I can handle in battles, how to fight each enemy, enemy order prio, weak spots, weaknesses, resistances and so on. Problem is just finding these dungeons

[patent kernel]

Know what that feels like. I miss my home base Northgard, and the Stag Bridge, and the Boar's Head checkpoint

[marsh sentinel]

I realise you're not keen on cheating, but have you considered using the world generator website to find the dungeons?

[outer glade]

nah, dont wanna cheat

[patent kernel]

Were all on ZorantheBear's server before he canned it

[outer glade]

Also, there's weird bugs happening. I was taking a fuling camp and after I killed all the fulings I kept getting speared. Couldnt see the fuling, but noticed one of the houses were halfway inside a rock.

[marsh sentinel]

Fair enough, it was just another option.

[outer glade]

I used the pickaxe to dig out the building, and the fuling that attacked me was inside the stone

[fast trout]

Hah, I had an aggroed one star dvergr mage stuck inside a boulder. He had no problem blasting me through the side of it.

I agree though, those mines can be mighty hard to find.

[outer glade]

Why dont these bugs get ironed out though? I mean, it seems even worse now than before

[patent kernel]

Coz the more stuff gets added the more garbled the script becomes

[fast trout]

I just assume it's part of the fun of early access. Change one piece of code, and something else unexpected is affected.

[outer glade]

Hmm.. No build cost in another world means you dont get the items when you demolish it

[fast trout]

Right, but you'd at least get your weapon you crafted.

[marsh sentinel]

Game is still being developed.

[outer glade]

oh, the weapon I still have, but its at half durability. So I guess I could fix that

Sure it's under development, but these bugs were here a year ago

[ionic gulch]

Aren't there backups?

[fast trout]

Wasn't there some talk about changing how infested mines spawn cores? Or am I dreaming that?

[outer glade]

apparently I cant even repair the item when I make a black forge

ah, need addons

dss

still not working. Ah well. Fuck it, I'll have to look for more mines and go back to black metal weapons. Great stuff.....

[marsh sentinel]

🤷‍♂️

[ionic gulch]

Aren't there world backups?

so you could go to a previous state

and reaquire the cores

[fast trout]

Oh, like revert to before he broke down the refinery, hey?

[ionic gulch]

yeah before any problem

[outer glade]

That'd fuck with other players

potentially

[fast trout]

Oh right, it's in someone else's server.

[ionic gulch]

oh didn't realize it was multiplayers but it may fuk with them less than you getting your cores

you could also spawn a world with a known seed and go get some

[outer glade]

It's a shared server. 4 of us share the cost

apparently I cant even repair this himmathingy on a black forge in another world

[ionic gulch]

is it a mod thing?

[fast trout]

Well, that's just weird. Even if you take it out of hammer mode after the bench is built?

[outer glade]

It's a DC thing. Whenever I log onto the game I keep getting disconnected 5ish times before it sticks

[ionic gulch]

thats not normal

[fast trout]

Hmm, sounds like the server is having issues.

[ionic gulch]

is it only the server or any world you make

[outer glade]

It's not like this for everyone though

but its happening to me every time. And it's happened to one of the other guys on the last server we played

[fast trout]

Are all four of you on pc?

[outer glade]

This flashing computer and ethernet cable symbol in the top left corner comes up

yeah, all PC

[marsh sentinel]

Are you running with crossplay enabled? As that tends to fuck things up royally.

[outer glade]

You can play the game on console?

[fast trout]

My friends and I kept having weird disconnect issues until we disabled crossplay (we're all on pc), and then it was smooth as butter.

[outer glade]

ah, you mean mac. No, we're all on PC

[marsh sentinel]

It's also on XBox.

[outer glade]

really? Wonder how it is to play there

[ionic gulch]

You could also log in one at a time and see when the issue pops up, likelly firewall issue - others with this issue moved server to a different computer and issue went away

[outer glade]

This DC crap is annoying the fuck out of me

[ionic gulch]

also turn off crossplay

[marsh sentinel]

So much that. PlayFab is dog water of the highest order so don't use it if you don't need it.

[outer glade]

Why does it only happen some times though?

[marsh sentinel]

Also turn off any VPNs.

[ionic gulch]

prolly when the server saves

[outer glade]

I mean, it happens every time I log on, but it happens for 5-10 times and then I get to play

[fast trout]

It was something to do with the playfab server. Once it was off and only using the steam server, none of off us have had issues.

[ionic gulch]

I only used steam servers and haven't had problems like this

Sorry its happening htough - super frustrating

[outer glade]

We rent a server for it

[marsh sentinel]

And what's the crossplay setting?

[outer glade]

But cant be the server, as this is the 2nd one we rent, and I'm the only one it keeps happening to

ffs

[fast trout]

Unless they have crossplay enabled; then it automatically uses playfab.

[outer glade]

again again again, always disconnecting.

what is crossplay and playfab?

[fast trout]

No idea why it only hits certain people, but it's what it kept doing to us.

[marsh sentinel]

Well, we've given you suggestions so it's up to you if you chose to try them.

[fast trout]

When you go to launch the server, there's an option to turn crossplay on or off.

Crossplay is what lets Xbox and pc plays play together.

And it uses playfab servers to do it.

[outer glade]

Ah, but I join the server, its a friend who's set it up

[marsh sentinel]

So then they might need to change the setting.

[outer glade]

so the crossplay button is unavailable to me

[ionic gulch]

definitely ask your friend to toggle it off

[fast trout]

Gotcha. Like Derek said, definitely have them check it.

[outer glade]

you have two tabs, the create server and the join server

sorry, "start game" and "join game"

[marsh sentinel]

Yes, if you're not the host you won't have those options.

[fast trout]

It causes so much needless pain, heh.

[marsh sentinel]

Again, your friend will need to change the setting.

[outer glade]

join game is the tab I go to, cus its hosted remotely

[fast trout]

Right, so you won't be able to check it yourself.

[potent grove]

are there any group servers to join, I have this fantasy of building a homestead for other players to visit.

[fast trout]

I'd bet $5 it's on, and what's causing your issues.

[marsh sentinel]

Should be able to find something to suit at #1024264966712340510

[ionic gulch]

Do you have a VPN active?

[outer glade]

btw, one of my friends has this insane gamer PC and my base makes his PC drop to 20fps too. Is that a game related issue with me building too many details and lights and such, or is it a problem with the servers we rent being too bad

nah, never used VPN

[ionic gulch]

Set all your options to low as possible and uncheck any boxes

he should be fine

[outer glade]

Yeah already did that on my end.

[marsh sentinel]

If you have high number of instances then yes, it'll cause frame drops.

[fast trout]

Do terrain changes still crank up the instances more than other things, or was that changed?

[marsh sentinel]

Not since 2021.

[fast trout]

Okay, nice.

[outer glade]

Last server I lost the fully upgraded Fenris gear due to DC

[fast trout]

Hard to remember what was actually changed and what they were working on, heh.

[marsh sentinel]

Anyway, final thoughts from me. Get crossplay turned off if it is on, and consider turning down the render scale to help with the FPS issue.

Press F2 to see the number of instances. Anything over 10-15k is going to start to impact your FPS.

[outer glade]

wow

I found a dungeon immediately now.. and right next to it is the queen lol

[marsh sentinel]

Heh, the joys of RNG.

[patent kernel]

Or the joys of someone monitoring your game

[outer glade]

hahaha

oh, btw, did yall see the video of the guy who oneshot a seeker soldier with the skoll and hati thing?

is that a real thing? if so I have things to learn about combat

[drowsy imp]

from stealth, in the rear, with some weird dagger animation cancel strat? I could see it

OH, it was just with the secondary attack

that's some impressive stealthing ngl

[outer glade]

Yeah

dangit, just 1 black core 😦

[tulip mauve]

A mistlands tier knife which has amazing damage, plus up to 140%ish damage from knife skill, times a 2x (I think) multiplier from secondary attacking, times a 1.5 (I think) weakness on a soldiers butt, times a 6x backstab multiplier, on probably normal difficulty, I assume?

Yea I can easily believe that one shotting

[outer glade]

No idea the difficulty, but incredible damage. Impressive

[tulip mauve]

Yea knives are my favorite weapon

I wonder if it’s possible to pull off a secondary sneak attack with knives on a Gjalls weak spot. Probably incredibly difficult but technically possible

Regular attack should at least be possible

[outer glade]

Yeah

btw, anyone know if its gonna be possible to get invaded by mistlands creeps in meadows base?

[tulip mauve]

Seekers will, Gjall won’t

[outer glade]

okay

[tulip mauve]

Never mind seekers won’t either. I was thinking of Black Forest

You’re safe. Although I think seekers will still spawn at night in meadows after killing Yag

[outer glade]

also, is tasty mead only supposed to last 10 seconds?

I want them to come

[tulip mauve]

Yea. But on the upside it doesn’t have a cool down.

Just meant to regen your stamina bar once. Good with stamina food

[outer glade]

gjall and all

ah, but I use lignering stamina mead too

[tulip mauve]

Then make a sick mistlands base

[outer glade]

I did on the last server. Shoulda seen that one. Biggest I've ever seen. Demolished dvergr houses all over mistlands for the mats xD

[tulip mauve]

Damn, nice

[drifting latch]

Tasty mead's nice when you have the luxury of kiting something long enough to recover without sprinting. But for faster enemies that give you no breathing room it's placebo at best

[outer glade]

I've never used it tbh

just tried it, but never saw what it did

[tulip mauve]

I have 650 hours and I've used it maybe twice. I think it's pretty good, I just am rarely in a situation where its all that good for me and even when I am I forget to make and bring it

[outer glade]

yeah I just use poison, fire, healing and stamina really. Frost early on a server..

Any tips on how to find dungeons in mistlands?

[tulip mauve]

eh not really. Just run through and look for blue lights for the one with a long staircase to them, or look for abandoned buildings to see if they have a basement.

I do like to climb spires to be able to scout things in mistlands

[outer glade]

Yeah, basically what Im doing. One thing I've noticed is if the rock formations have 3 of the spire thingys sticking out, its usually a dungeon under

[umbral fog]

Mornin everyone 😄

[cold patrol]

I need people who can sail to help bring supplies for a raid tower

[snow forge]

I know literally a few words.
Among other things, I can count to two. :p

[tulip mauve]

I wonder how Smiffes Norwegian and Danish is

[crimson inlet]

"Danish language" on YouTube
Hilarious video

17 years ago
Check it out

[tulip mauve]

ah yea seen that one a few times

Can relate, being from Denmark

[ocean hound]

I knew a Swedish speaking Finn once

But we only ever spoke English and Chinese 🤔

[tardy vale]

Yksi. kaksi?

[tardy vale]

i'd say descent 🤔

tho danish people don't understand swedish what-so-ever 😅

[scarlet veldt]

no scandinavian understands other scandinavian. And then there are Finns

[tulip mauve]

true 😂

I get by on Norwegian, although it ain't pretty

[crimson inlet]

Ain't we lucky that English is everywhere

[dawn hare]

Hello

Been a while since I’ve been in here

[late canopy]

Any dedicated servers recruiting?

[tardy vale]

--> #1024264966712340510

[marsh sentinel]

I'd say it's a curse for us native English speakers. Not enough effort is put into teaching us other languages.

Certainly in the UK.

[snow forge]

Norwegians mostly understand Swedish well and Danish fairly well, but in my experience swedes and danes have more trouble.
Icelandic people sometimes understand Norwegian and Danish well, and Faroese people speak Danish so they understand Norwegian somewhat as well (while understanding spoken Icelandic/Faroese is generally hard for everyone else).

Of course there are big individual differences since some dialects can be tricky even for people with the same language and people pick up other languages at different easiness levels, but that's my general impression at least.

[tardy vale]

Icelandic people are being learned danish

but the "real old" danish. not the modern one 😄

[snow forge]

Still?

[tardy vale]

I learned that from a icelandic standup commedian 😄

[snow forge]

Ah. Old Icelandic people will know Danish since it used to be Danish until.. 1950?

[tardy vale]

yeah....

[tardy vale]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OSacz4GHQjs 😄

[snow forge]

I think I've seen that one, and enjoyed it.

[tardy vale]

hes amazing

[marsh sentinel]

Have you a guy called Olafur on Tiktok? He's hilarious. All his, er, Toks are about the Scandavian languages.

[snow forge]

I don't have tictoc but I've seen clips of a guy making semi-serious funny posts about Skandinavian languages, might be him.

[marsh sentinel]

Could be.

I don't either, I get them via FB shorts.

[snow forge]

He'd better if he stuck to the actually funny bits instead of occasionally deliberately misinterpreting things for forced humour.

The "serious" ones are generally amusing.

But when my reaction after a video is "...that's not what that means (and I think you know it)" I end up annoyed rather than amused.

[tardy vale]

the icelandic guy?

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/vMZ02hjcYsY

this guy?

[snow forge]

That's the one I was thinking of.

He's got many good ones.

[marsh sentinel]

That's him.

[snow forge]

I love it when he goes "no, <language>, you stay out of this". :p

Ah well, back to work.
poof

[tardy vale]

yeah. hes very funny

[daring kelp]

hey'looooo

is this game still alive .-. i miss playing valheim

[marsh sentinel]

Alive? It's not a live play game, you can play whenever you want.

[daring kelp]

..

[marsh sentinel]

Was that not the answer you were hoping for?

[rugged stag]

Perhaps popular is the word you were looking for?

and to answer that, that's a subjective answer

[modest moth]

It's literally dead, no one is playing it.

Everyone you see here speaking is a bot

[rugged stag]

Found the sarcasm bot

[oblique plover]

i'm the "hello lovely ppl! " bot. bit late today, someone messed with my cron job

[drowsy fossil]

@tardy vale I'm sorry for yesterday

[clear hornet]

Probably not, but I want to ask the question anyways. Ashlands will not be 1.0 for Valheim correct?

I’d assume they would at least finish deep north before fully hopping out of early access.

[azure geode]

deep north will be 1.0 i heard

[rugged stag]

Deep north pre 1.0

[clear hornet]

Tyvm! So another 2-3 years maybe lol.

[rugged stag]

Hard to say but good content takes time

take from that what you will

[modest moth]

Well, considering the time it takes for ashlands that timeframe isn't hard to believe anymore

[remote nebula]

Is public test out for ashlands?

[modest moth]

No

[rugged stag]

In due time traveller, in due time

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

[remote nebula]

Alright thx

[clear hornet]

I do not disagree, and I am not upset at the pace the devs put out updates, however a bit more pep in their step would be appreciated!

I’m seeing several “newer” released titles with similar team size or smaller pushing fixes, and some with minor content adds.

I love Valheim and it’s one of my all time favorite games, I guess at this point I’m just really eager and hungry for content that doesn’t rely on mods.

I will wait patiently in the mean time.

[rugged stag]

I'm staying away from that discussion. Not touching it with a 10 foot pole

Cmd + F + "Update time" has all the answers you'd need

[clear hornet]

That’s understandable. Thank you. I did not mean to disrespect if that was the vibe my comment made.

[rugged stag]

I guess that's me not staying away from it

[rugged stag]

Not at all, I just foresee the future comments

[drowsy imp]

Cmd

[rugged stag]

Command

is it not shorthand - Cmd?

[drowsy imp]

I didn't know Subject used a Mac

[clear hornet]

Lol yeah I get that too. It’s been a hot topic for a while.

[rugged stag]

I used a Mac right up until 2020

[royal coral]

They're way faster than Mojang honestly when it comes to major updates.

[rugged stag]

then it died on me - windows since

[drowsy imp]

Wait so wouldn't it be Ctrl-F?

[rugged stag]

Can we not discuss what it should be

smh

you understood what I meant

[drowsy imp]

https://tenor.com/view/zero-two-darling-in-the-franxx-laugh-lol-giggle-gif-17571294

Sorry~

[rugged stag]

"Drag the cursor with your trackpad, mouse, or joystick of choice up to the top right of your screen where there's a search bar."
Click on the search bar and type "Ashlands when". There you will see many discussions with the same answer given each time.

Correct that Scarlet!

[stray marsh]

We also want to remind everyone that Valheim is meant to be a difficult game, and that it’s meant to be more difficult the further you progress

tell that to Mountains after Swamps, brah

[marsh sentinel]

Significantly harder.

[lean fable]

Mountains is definitely easier than swamp

You lose the wet debuff and have to start looking up oh no

[drowsy imp]

I can see the argument for losing the perma wet debuff

But like, between terrain and golems and frost caves I don't think the mountains is necessarily easier

[snow forge]

If the first 5 biomes, the swamp is the hardest for its level imo.

[marsh sentinel]

It's the highest difficulty curve from the previous biome, but not the hardest biome of the 5.

[snow forge]

It's the first to properly test you.

Yeah, mountain or plains in black forest gear is obviously harder, thus "for its level".

[marsh sentinel]

Meh, as long as you spec into high stamina food and learn to use the hoe for terrain manipulation it's a doddle.

[drowsy imp]

highest difficulty curve expresses it the best I think, thanks Derek

[snow forge]

Yeah, biggest increase in difficulty.

[loud schooner]

Too bad that we dont have abominations and lox 2 stars

[snow forge]

It's where the game starts to properly test if you know how to prepare.

Abominations didn't change the biome difficulty much, tbh.

They're much easier to avoid than trolls (though harder to kill).

[loud schooner]

I just like the increase drops and the experience of the fight

Or golems 2 stars

[modest moth]

Too *good

[lean fable]

I forget the caves are even a thing

[plain thicket]

They can be a real pain if you want to collect globs from a nearby tree but don't want to fight them. Great if a firepit is nearby.

[coral lintel]

When Ashlands are finished, are the other biomes than Deep North that will be left to make? I haven't fully kept up

To answer my own question, lol. Seems to be correct https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Biomes
I only see Ashlands and Deep North missing

[marsh sentinel]

Yes, those have always been the intended biomes.

[fossil bobcat]

Even tho I hate swamps I prefer them
Why you may ask
Well my PC just gets louder and I can't even move without lags so i need to wait until it stops raining

[bold lark]

since they were added I haven't harvested ANY guck tree

[solar sundial]

Do we have a release date for Ashlands PTB?

[umbral fog]

first half of this year 😄 so next three months

[void flint]

I am playing on very hard and wolves are the only dangerous monsters I encounter. Swamp is a cakewalk in comparison.

With extra speed they cut you off like cop cars

[tulip mauve]

up to preference I suppose. I still find swamp harder than mountains

harder than all other biomes, actually

[silver eagle]

I would say Swamp and Mountains are the hardest due to the monsters you encounter, its different for each person but I would say those two biomes.

[tawny atlas]

Death sketttooooos

[tulip mauve]

This run I actually did mountain without a bow (Very Hard Hardcore) and I still found it easier than swamp 😅

[bright wind]

swamp and mountains are definitely the hardest in terms of a difficulty hike, i didn't struggle too much in the plains for the first time that being said mistlands is the hardest of all of them

[frosty walrus]

I think mistlands can be very easy or very hard, depending on how many starred enemies you find. In earlier biomes, starred enemies don't seem to matter as much.

[sinful hatch]

Helo. I red the news botom line Do we have to start a new seed or not???? Mentioning that we diden't explore the Ashlands and we dident build in the bufer zone that wil be Ocean

[marsh sentinel]

As per the news page you've read, no, if you've got plenty of unexplored Ashlands you'll be fine.

[sinful hatch]

we dident explore 1 milimiter of that region

[tulip mauve]

Mistlands is pretty hard the first time, but then I find the difficulty drops significantly on subsequent playthroughs

Getting oneshot by archers is just a constant of swamp

[grave cove]

Try a run without killing any bosses, was an interesting experience and it is possible to reach a point where you can thrive in the mistlands

[marsh sentinel]

Thriving in Mistlands without wisps seems unlikely.

[grave cove]

Not at all, you actually get alot stealthier without wisp, you can even kill gjalls without them ever finding you hidding in the mist hehe

If you like to be noisy of course then it's another matter

[rustic geode]

Once you get used to it, it’s genuinely easier to skip Yagluth than fight him

But tbf, I think you can skip every boss but moeder

[tulip mauve]

I've never done a full no boss run but I do like to skip bosses, it's a lot of fun

Still skipping Elder seems too tedious to me and skipping Moder locks me out of too much stuff

Current run I'm full mist gear without killing Bone and Yag

[grave cove]

You can skip moder, but you miss out on alot of blackmetal recipes

[umbral fog]

all

i dont think there are any recepies with scraps

[rustic geode]

Exactly, but I mean in making progress in the biome, you can use a troll instead of an antler pick, you can chair clip into crypts, you can prospect silver, etc

[grave cove]

No boss kill run gives you access to arbalest, carapace spear, krom and either fenris og silver armor

As endgame gear

Curious how ashlands is going to be and if the queen placeholder is a must

[plain thicket]

Swamp is ez, mountains can be annoying with vertical hitbox wolves and big stoners

[umbral fog]

it will be quite usefull item i heard 😄 (tho i dont know if exactly "needded")

[hard iron]

Golems are easy if you have an iron mace 😉 At least on normal mode.

[plain thicket]

You kinda want to have a good shield to parry and armour, which you don't need in swamp

[grave cove]

Also with spears with a good enough level, you can keep them perma staggered until they die if you have enough stamina

[hard iron]

...parry? Why do you need to parry?

[plain thicket]

To crit the stoners

[umbral fog]

iron buckler is enough in mountains 😄

[tulip mauve]

really curious for that too

[grave cove]

Parry is op in valheim xD

[rustic geode]

Wolf packs will rush you down if you get staggered lol

[tulip mauve]

on Normal, mobs cower in fear to the power of the parry

[hard iron]

Naah. Just mace secondary the golem, it'll stun them.

[plain thicket]

You are being hunted, rrr4eeeeeeeeeeee

[rustic geode]

And since there’s like 3 of them, you can’t roll them without risk

[tulip mauve]

The way you do it it takes longer than just parrying, no?

[hard iron]

Maybe 1-2 seconds at most?

[rustic geode]

In terms of sheer DPS, it’s slower, but where else are you gonna use that spec lol

I like using it to smash gobs with the Frostner, but it’s not super smart to do

[hard iron]

I put a clip of how I do it in #memes-and-clips , it's about 10s to take down a golem, the only requirement is the iron mace

[rustic geode]

I just ignore golems

[hard iron]

But... one of the best trophies, and crystals!

[grave cove]

I hunt them because I like killing big enemies like golem, abominations, trolls, seeker soldiers ect. 😅

Almost like a hobby

[plain thicket]

The trophy looks a bit off to me, it is great for my adult themed dungeon though

[grave cove]

Serpents is highest on my list of favorite big enemy encounters

[trim ember]

Saw some messages earlier. 💯 agree that mountains is not harder than swamp. Only at night

Tweaking is required IMO

[snow forge]

I wouldn't mind the mountains/plains being a bit more challenging.

[grave cove]

How do you guys feel about mistlands at night?

[tulip mauve]

Does seem quite stamina efficient and smooth. Just slightly slower than parrying

[trim ember]

Never do it

[tulip mauve]

favorite biome, night or day

[snow forge]

I don't see any difference.

[grave cove]

I have started avoiding mistlands at night after my encounter with a 2 star gjall

[tulip mauve]

I've yet to encounter those. Doubt I'd find them much different than 0 star tho

[trim ember]

Like, the swamps have a reason to go into it at the nighttime. Chains from wraith. The mountain; fenring and higher star wolf 🐺, is there any reason to explore plains and mistlands at night?

[grave cove]

Plains for black metal farming

[hard iron]

Plains is nice at night when you need to collect blackmetal

[snow forge]

And money farming.

[tulip mauve]

more blackmetal/seeker meat / carapace / gjall bladders, etc.

[trim ember]

I find I get plenty of black metal during the day. Also, FAR less black metal is required to cash money

[grave cove]

I can never get enough black metal or iron

[tulip mauve]

Same. I find I get plenty of wolf meat and fur during the day too tho, and fenris don't drop much useful stuff

[trim ember]

Whatcha doing with it?

[hard iron]

Chests, arbalest and ballista bolts are great uses for blackmetal

[tulip mauve]

Blackmetal is quite nice for ballista bolts

[grave cove]

Black metal chests and all the equipment 😅

[trim ember]

True.

[dapper hedge]

I love that blackaxe

[trim ember]

Has that ever been floated before? Blackmetal enforced beams? Being an upgrade to Iron beams

[tulip mauve]

tbh some things take a lot of blackmetal. Like I think the pickaxe is 105 blackmetal to max

Still gonna end up overflowing tho, at least if you have a plains base

[grave cove]

I have transported about 3 full longboats of black metal to the main island and is still abit short of finishing my base for now

[trim ember]

Going back, mistlands at night incentive? Or just more mob spawns?

[grave cove]

Doable but you need to respect it if you don't want to be reminded why to respect it.

[gleaming lance]

Kinda hate how blackmetal processing is locked behind moder 😔

[untold night]

The whole game is progress locked. It's kinda the point...

[grave cove]

Meh bonemass is the least important progress unlock

You just need to know the conditions for silver to find it digging around

[trim ember]

Not really I'd say. The only HARD lock is moder. No eiktyr? Skip to bronze pick, no swamp key? Stag in the swamp, no wishbone? Stag in the mountains.

[umbral fog]

the only true "lock" is Moder, everything else you can get somehow

[untold night]

Aww... I wanted to discuss 'Meg Bonemass'. I imagined like a giant leech/blob hybrid with massive teeth.

[grave cove]

Alot faster and easier to use seeker soldiers near ancient equipment in the mistlands

[gleaming lance]

I've found two silver veins that werqre just poking out the side of a mountain

[trim ember]

Yessir.

[tough aspen]

They're just shy

[gleaming lance]

I'd still like to clear him if I find him cause his power is probably 2nd best in slot

[hollow lynx]

Sounds like a new difficulty scenario: no boss engage.

[untold night]

I never tried to circumvent my progress, so I'll presume you're correct. 🙂

[gleaming lance]

Wisps are locked behind yag too tho

[grave cove]

Wisps are not required to do mistlands

[untold night]

Yag does the worst wisps... especially after a hot curry and a few beers.

[umbral fog]

well there are alternatives to using antler pickaxe, you can use stagbreaker or glitch to get iron, also stag for silver, you dont actually need wisps for mistlands even tho they certainly make it easier 😄

[grave cove]

Trolls for copper and tin, seeker soldiers for iron

[untold night]

Yeh, I'm sure. I never meant to suggest anything but agreement. I've just never looked into how to skip steps.

[marsh sentinel]

Sure, there are ways around progressing properly.

[umbral fog]

oh i didnt take it as anything but agreement 😄 i just listed the ways it can be done

[grave cove]

You can also get copper, bronze and iron in the mountains although very tideous hehe

[untold night]

I think Frost Caves are the first place you can get metal bars as drops. But, you can get iron ore drops from swamp mobs, and Mistlands pretty much allows you to set yourself up from nothing with a bit of effort.

[gleaming lance]

I know you can get bronze but where the copper at?

[snow forge]

In the black forest (as Hugin tells you after killing Eikthyr or after crafting a pickaxe, I can't remember which).

[untold night]

In the Black Forest, you'll be able to identify them as bodies of rock with gleaming veins through them.

[sour lynx]

if you have trouble telling the stone nodes and copper deposits apart, the copper ones tell you when you look at them

i know i did when i first started, blasted eyeballs

[hard iron]

The copper ones have little shiny bits on them that the regular rocks don't, the hover-text will confirm it

[odd spindle]

I think they should add 1st person mode to the base game. I just can't go back to vanilla until this happens

[deep geyser]

Hello old heads

[marsh sentinel]

I can't see it happening.

[odd spindle]

Have faith

[marsh sentinel]

Nothing to do with faith, it's just not something they're interested in.

[odd spindle]

Maybe I'll persuade them

[marsh sentinel]

Feel free to suggest it in the suggestions channel.

[untold night]

Have faith in yourself!

[odd spindle]

What? Ha

[strange field]

So is there a release date for Ashlands? That last dev blog post confused me. Or is it already out?

[snow forge]

First half of 2024.

[tough aspen]

[snow forge]

@mellow goblet - trying to move the non-Valheim chat here. Re: Harry Potter and philosophers, iirc that was because Americans were regarded as less likely to know the archaic meaning of philosopher than Europeans and would relate it with people sitting around thinking, not people actively searching knowledge by experiments and stuff.

[hollow lynx]

Nooo you're making me do maths

[tough aspen]

ok lets make it easier

[hollow lynx]

I'm jk although it did make me think a minute 😂

[snow forge]

But what about second half?

[signal jacinth]

Тут русский чат нету?

[mellow goblet]

You'd still think that they would have herd of philosopher's stone before, but guess not

[hollow lynx]

Do we get a second second half? 🥺

[snow forge]

English, please.

[latent owl]

He said theres no russian chat

[marsh sentinel]

He's right.

[snow forge]

Well no, it's an English-only server.

[signal jacinth]

@snow forge Do you have Russian chat here?)

[snow forge]

#general message

[scenic wing]

There’s no Russian chat 🙂

Back to the future 4 trailer? Is this real

[grave vine]

hardly

[soft estuary]

Highly doubt it

[odd spindle]

Apparently it's real

Came out two days ago

[marsh sentinel]

So it's an April 1st gag.

[odd spindle]

OH didn't even look at date bahaha

[soft estuary]

Two days ago would be April 2nd 🤓

[odd spindle]

Technically it's from the future though

So it still counts ... Sorta

[night comet]

They say the ashlands is the penultimate biome, but what about deep north?

[marsh sentinel]

That's the last biome.

[night comet]

Can't wait to see both ashlands and deep north content.

[mystic shore]

penultimate means 2nd to last

[night comet]

Ooohhh didn't know this. Thanks!

I mean it stopped being "hacked" within a few hours 🥲

[umbral fog]

and in a few days it pretty much recovered 😄

[vivid field]

pretty sure it was multiple days, no?

[umbral fog]

no, the hackers were gone in few hours, but recovery of the server took few days

[vivid field]

it was much longer than "a few hours"

[tulip mauve]

It was definitely less than a day until hackers were gone

[tough aspen]

100% less than a day, it took at most 2 days to get the channels back though.. I mean there's logs ^^

Let's not forget who REALLY owns this channel 😎

[tulip mauve]

Irongate?

or Discord?

[tough aspen]

[umbral fog]

well general was back at 31.1.2024 (first msg was Sam of course 😄 )

[tepid crater]

I thought was still having problems 3 days past so I just left server

[hard iron]

There were still problems to some extent, the infrastructure and modding and such was all still being rebuilt, but the hackers were no longer in control.

[royal crown]

Polska ktos ten teges

[hard iron]

English only on this server, please 🙂

[royal crown]

okey sorry

[lucid ice]

Why would anyone wanna hack the discord server for :/

[tough aspen]

Edgy kids

[lucid ice]

Oof

[tulip mauve]

Money, info, griefing

[lucid ice]

Its so rotten

[zealous anchor]

i did not know daylight saving time kills people
wellp
guess we should ban that huh

the day after daylight saving time change more heart atacks happens
more workplace accidents
more traffic accidents
all in all daylight saving time is pretty bad
also it ruins sleep

[tulip mauve]

How does it go about that?

[marsh sentinel]

How do people cope with weekends? Unless they're getting up at the same time every day regardless?

[zealous anchor]

since it usually happens on sundays your next day is a monday

[marsh sentinel]

It always happens on a Sunday to avoid any disruption.

[tulip mauve]

I feel like its fairly negligible amounts that would contribute to the above. Also is that just for when we lose an hour? I’d assume it to have more of an opposite affect when we get another hour

[marsh sentinel]

I get up on a Sunday FAR more than an hour later than I get up on a Monday. I can easily cope with an hour short on a Monday.

[lean fable]

Your personal experience invalidates statistics

Statistics are skewed a lot of the time anyway

[marsh sentinel]

Oh, sure. I just haven't seen any statistics.

https://bmjmedicine.bmj.com/content/3/1/e000771 'The analysis found no evidence of an association between the transition to spring daylight saving time (when clocks are set forward by one hour on the second Sunday of March) and the risk of all cause mortality during the first eight weeks after the transition (rate ratio 1.003, 95% confidence interval 0.987 to 1.020).'

Hm, 'Evidence indicating a substantial decrease in the risk of all cause mortality during the first eight weeks after the transition to autumn daylight saving time (0.974, 0.958 to 0.990).' seems slightly more relevant which makes sense.

[unique berry]

Which mod is doing most of the dreams and runestones?

[frosty walrus]

It would depend on the mods you have installed. #mods-discussion might be a better place to ask.

[unique berry]

Dev*

Wow, wonderful time for my discord to crap out with a correction

[marsh sentinel]

Hm? I'd imagine it's Lee that's writing them.

[unique berry]

Mkay. If they persist to the point where the devs start focusing on the story and lore more, they set an amazing framework.

[marsh sentinel]

Lee has always written the lore first, before the biomes are developed.

[unique berry]

And since Hildir's quest the dreams also are talking about the world a bit and not just hazy memories of before Valhalla.

[unique berry]

That is a good way to get an idea of what to put in there

[marsh sentinel]

Oh yeah, he even confirms what I said https://www.valheimgame.com/news/introducing-lee-williams/

[unique berry]

I didnt know Valheim had a Meet the Team blog

Thats very cool

[tardy vale]

not the entire team. but we have introduced some of our members from time to time

[unique berry]

Sfm animation when?

[modest moth]

Hugin: kraw kraw This is a good day to be not ded

[dusk cape]

im so excited for the ashlands to be added so i can start a new run

[tulip mauve]

Same! Except I started my run already so I can be ready to go to the Ashlands once the update drops

[dusk cape]

i was thinking about starting it already but I almost want it to be a completely new run just so its fresh

[naive arrow]

Nice ping to inform us that the update is "coming soon"™️

That's not a waste or annoying

[marsh sentinel]

Indeed, it's quite useful to get people prepared for the update.

[naive arrow]

Not if you do it for a year

[marsh sentinel]

Good job it's not been for a year then.

[next dagger]

Hey everyone, hope you're all doing well! I wanted to reach out and ask if it would be okay for me to share a link with you all. I am participating in a contest to become America's favorite teacher, and I am looking for some support. I understand entirely if sharing links isn't allowed, so I wanted to check in with the mods first. Thanks for considering it! I ❤️ Valheim regardless

[tardy vale]

no share non-valheim content here

[next dagger]

kk! thanks anyway

[summer garden]

no no smiffe let them dox themselves 💀

[lean fable]

Cold

[dusk cape]

nothing goes unnoticed under smiffes watchful eye

[lean fable]

What’s the prize for first?

[icy ore]

well, now feels like a good time to stop for the day... just spent hours hunting down two 2 star boars, brought them home, and they just finished taming... I was in the process of pushing the first one into the boar farm and was raided by Geirrhafa.... he killed them both, and now I'm very sad

[tulip mauve]

Poor boars

Bury them somewhere nice, would ya?

[icy ore]

They now have tombstones in camp

Hilde Mini-Boss

The Frost Mage Fenring Cultist guy

[icy ore]

yea, not so much when you're not geared for them though...

I fucking give up

Got another bore, waited the in game time for it to tame again. pushed it up into my boar farm. Then was immediately raided by a "Foul smell from the swamp".... An Oozer killed my second boar through my defensive wall with its AoE attack while I ran to go get a poison resist mead...

[patent kernel]

Yeahhhhh thats the level of BS programming that is ragequit inducing

Can understand that

[deft knot]

Is the ashlands update the official release of the game?

And deep north is after ashlands?

[tardy vale]

yes

[regal patrol]

@tardy vale 😄

[loud schooner]

Someone knows if the will put upgrade lvl 4 for black forge and galdr table?

[tardy vale]

no one knows

I think 🤔

@umbral fog knows?

[umbral fog]

Nope, just wanted to say that we have no idea, tho i personally think there is a good chance there will be 😄

[tardy vale]

oh?

us being consistant you mean? 😄

[umbral fog]

Yep

But now that you know i believe it will come you could decide to not add it just to spite me... || ( just joking ofc 😄 ) ||

[tough aspen]

[tardy vale]

https://tenor.com/view/raccoon-weird-clapping-evil-laugh-gif-9962946

[umbral fog]

Ashlands will be out in first half of 2024
There will be public test beta

[grave vine]

[snow forge]

I think we'll skip level 4 black forge and go straight to level 5.

We'll never be able to make the things that require level 4.

[tough aspen]

i just want more aesthetically pleasing upgrades ktnx

[tardy vale]

https://tenor.com/view/spinal-tap-11-eleven-gif-20021413

[tough aspen]

if yall do 11 upgrades...imma need a bigger hole under my smithy

[tardy vale]

[crimson inlet]

I've been thinking deeply

I think I personally need an internet 2.0
and internet 1.0 turns into like the old TV

[tardy vale]

thinking does not produce deeper holes 🤔

[crimson inlet]

where only the cool peeps are

[cursive elk]

Then explain to me how when I overthink I go down a deeper and deeper rabbit hole?!

[tardy vale]

procastinating does not produce actual work

so thinking about digging a hole, does not make the hole actually apearing

[molten pollen]

you make me question my education

[lean fable]

Why does my depression hole keep getting deeper then?

[tardy vale]

you're a theoretical engineer?

[molten pollen]

no, the US edu system is of lower intelligence than the valheim discord server, thats why

[tardy vale]

well. Valheim discord server is the place for vikings 🤔

and vikings are known to be "doers" over "theoretical engineers"

[drowsy imp]

They asked me if I understood theoretical physics

I said I had a theoretical degree in physics

[lunar musk]

Well, discord mobile is an experience

[marsh sentinel]

It sure is.

[lunar musk]

My pc is sick 🥶

Confirmed paperweight status

At least it capitalises my words for me on this xD

[tardy vale]

virus?

[lunar musk]

Virus would have been easier ig, power supply failed, and it's behind a riveted metal plate in the tower case

[tardy vale]

oooof

have you tried to set it on fire? 🤔

[lunar musk]

I can fix it but eugh xD

Such a big job and while I do that I'll want to strip each component out and clean it and replace thermal paste in the CPU etc, gonna get another system running in the meantime tho

[tardy vale]

what happend tho?

old re-used Power supply?

or is your entire PC old?

[lunar musk]

Not that old

Woke up and nothing, dead

[tardy vale]

jikes

[lunar musk]

Should have something up within a couple days but that job will have to wait a while

(relief that Ashland's didn't drop before now too lol)

hallo Sam

[tough aspen]

Hola Hyper-chan

[hasty comet]

@tardy vale do you play rust by chance

Valheim character should spawn in with a rock and torch completely naked near the ocean lol

[lean fable]

We already do half the time

Just have to look down for the rock

[tulip mauve]

And take off the rag tunic

[radiant walrus]

I’d at least like underwear (preferably briefs) or a nice leaf skirt.

[hasty comet]

I want to see my actual balls like you can on trolls

Whenever they're bent over and dead

✨ realism ✨

[void flint]

Lose some weight 😉

[hasty comet]

What why

[void flint]

If you can't see down there

[hasty comet]

No in Valheim

[void flint]

Sure. Sure.

[hasty comet]

Hey, I'm just a 90 kg 183 cm regular guy

[void flint]

Just a cheeky joke

[hasty comet]

Wha

[cursive elk]

You can't lose weight when you're hauling around all them ores!

[grave vine]

You've got an extra 7 kilograms

[lean fable]

Based on what

[grave vine]

180 cm = 80 kg, 183 = 83 kg, optimal weight

[lean fable]

Based on what type of body and heritage though

[grave vine]

There is Broca's formula (height - 100) * 0,9 = optimal weight

[lean fable]

That doesn’t consider the way different bodies are built

If you have two people at the same height but one has shoulders that are 5 inches wider that’s going to have a big impact on what’s healthy weight wise

[grave vine]

I'm not saying that you need to lose weight to such a weight, I just gave an interesting fact

[lean fable]

Fair enough

[grave vine]

This formula was calculated for the optimal physique, I think, the arithmetic mean

[lean fable]

I just know most body indexes are basically useless

Most athletes are considered obese by the Broca index for example

[grave vine]

Most likely, it is used in some medical calculations

[grave vine]

Because they are athletes and are subject to increased loads, and Broca's index was calculated on the basis of an ordinary person with normalized loads

I think it was necessary to have an optimal starting point up or down, which helps to establish the Broca index

[tough aspen]

[hard iron]

So, speaking of something that's not fat, I just had to climb on my roof because I kept hearing something skittering above me and I was hoping it wasn't squirrels trying to get into my solar panels again. Fortunately it was just a flying rat and not a tree rat.

[grave vine]

Run a current through them

[scenic wing]

Bro you’re making me nervous, we’re literally in the process of buying a house and the idea of hearing slight noises terrify me lol. (First home btw, scared out of my mind)

[hard iron]

Just make sure you get an inspection, NOT from someone recommended by the seller, and don't buy anything that won't let you do that.

[grave vine]

The main thing is to sniff, a bad house smells bad

[scenic wing]

Just had our inspection yesterday, everything turned out smooth!

LOL we actually did see some houses we liked, but literally the smell deterred us

[hard iron]

Youtube has been a game changer for a lot of people owning homes, gives a lot of good DIY and other good advice.

[grave vine]

All our houses are made of brick or stone, I can't imagine what it's like to live in a house made of wood

[lean fable]

Pull on literally everything

Like if it has vinyl panels and stuff if they’re not down tight dip

Did your inspector use a moisture meter?

[scenic wing]

Yeah, I kept trying to tinker around with things and see if it would break- like the fence, random bricked, cabinets, etc.

I don’t recall if a moisture meter was used?

[dense abyss]

There's one in my neighborhood I call Guiness cuz he's got what have to be Guiness World Record-sized testicles.

[hard iron]

Big thing to check is the drainage, too. Make sure there's no obvious pooling evidence near your foundation.

[dense abyss]

Like I'm surprised he doesn't have a lil squirrel wheelbarrow to carry 'em around.

[lean fable]

I’d ask because if not you should definitely go around the house with one especially walls around bathrooms

[scenic wing]

Noted. I’ll bring that up for sure. Yeah, we did a drainage test, everything checked out there!

[dense abyss]

There are a bunch of geese that live at the elementary school across the street and one of e'm always hangs out with the squirrels and I have fun saying "Goose and Squirrell" in my bad Russian accent

[lean fable]

You often get small leaks in tubs and stuff that won’t be visible at all till your wall is rotted out without using a meter

[hard iron]

Oh right... go hang out near the house at all times of day if you can, including at night. Go park nearby with your car windows open and see what it sounds like at night, when you'd be trying to sleep.

[dense abyss]

Not sure if you've seen Trailer Park Boys but Ricky this comment reminded me of shootin guns off

[hard iron]

Rocky and Bullwinkle... I feel so old 😛

[dense abyss]

I'm 41 and Rocky and Bullwinkle were old when I was a kid.

[scenic wing]

Julian is the best 😂

[dense abyss]

It might be my favorite show. I always cite TPB and Valheim as "things that happen when you love what you do"

And when you believe in what you're making

[lean fable]

It’s 80 years old omg

I can’t read it’s 60

[dense abyss]

I was gonna say, that would be WW2 lol. That's what makes me feel old - WW2 seemed like ancient history when I was a kid. The same amount of time has passed from WW2 -> m,my birth as my birth -> now.

[lean fable]

WW2 doesn’t even feel real half the time but neither does most of history

[dense abyss]

It's hard to grasp in 2024, I think, especially for the likes of my generation that grew up in unprecedented peace and prosperity.

I wonder when they're gonna put up jsmars GDC talk?

[lean fable]

What is that

I blinked and his msg was gone about it 😂

[dense abyss]

jsmars gave a talk at the recent Game Developer Conference. I think they usually share them online after?

Not sure if I answered your question correctly

[lean fable]

Who is jsmars

I guess I could Google it too but it’s more fun to ask

[dense abyss]

If you expand the User list on this here Discord and look in the Developer section, you'll see jsmars listed there

They're one of the main Valheim devs

[lean fable]

Was he talking specifically about valheim or just development in general?

[dense abyss]

I think dev in general using Valheim as the foundation / experience for the talk?

[lean fable]

It does sound interesting

[marsh sentinel]

The talk was billed as being about developing in Early Access as an indie dev.

[tardy vale]

um. GDC does upload some talks
bad thing
you need a account 😦

[hasty comet]

Oh that's my uh.... Well.... Reproduction stick

[grave vine]

do you have to carry a stick with you? How's the prosthesis?

[dense abyss]

I guess I'll have to wait til it gets published to youtube. I love those GDC talks. Hearing the struggles other people experience makes me feel better about my own efforts.

[tardy vale]

I don't know if Jsmars talk was recorded or not

[dense abyss]

Hopefully so! I think Valheim is a great example for smaller teams about what can happen when you believe in the vision and don't try to just copy the most recent popular idea.

The flood of Valheim wannabes I think is a really clear indicator of that.

re: gdc talks - https://youtu.be/VscdPA6sUkc

Watching this one and the moment where he talks about killing the skeleton the first time and the "YES! That was awesome!" reaction... that's why I got into software development. It's a fun feeling seeing your creation come to life.

[lean fable]

I’ll have to watch that when I get off work

Sounds motivating. I’ve been convinced I’ll make a game for years and I never get past playing around in the editor or making a calculator 😂

[dense abyss]

Are you any good at modeling? like art not walking runways

Though I can sashay with the best of em

[snow forge]

You folks didn't make games in upper secondary school? :p

One of the best school assignments I've had. "Make a game."
