Embrace the dark side, they have recycled discussion cookies.
On second thought, stay here with us.
very nice
I'm well aware, I've never said otherwise.
The devs sell the game, not the modders. The devs need to make their own patches and make their own fixes
Of course it'd take effort, but it'd pay off in the long run
Mistland bugs are fine the devs don't need to touch them.
We have stated before.
"mod support might come after 1.0 release"
Ty smiffe
Smart choice because mod support will improve the game drastically since survival games are so versatile
inscredingle
W mod lovers
An agreeable choice!
And we basicly don't have the posibility to focus on making this work enough with every single update we do. since we pretty much update the game engine every time π₯²
"It has ZERO effect on the progress of the game development."
Fair
Zero positive effect.
ah
No
Pray, do tell how mods postively affect the development of the vanilla game?
Community will patch out bugs for them
Bro, that's not helpful in any way
Develop content for them that they can use for vanilla
No, that's not happening.
Patching out bugs seems pretty helpful
That's called a team which they already have hahaha
It's much better if the devs with the actual codebase do that.
No it's not, because they won't use them
And they're payed to do that which is amazing
Somewhat unrelated: I just want to take a minute to shout out the devs and the server moderators for answering questions while this chat has been super active xD Thank you, devs, for all the work you're doing
Ever heard of: 99 little bugs in the code, 99 little bugs in the code. Take one down, patch it around 117 little bugs in the code.
I think they'd be open to it if it saved them time
The mod guys can do the pretty stuff that no-one really cares about, Let the devs actually make the game run.
How would they know what content needs to be created when they never attend the team meetings?
Got way too excited to see a patch notification lol
Considering how many other survival games are greatly improved and advanced by mods id disagree
Do you understand that you need to decompile the game and look at the code AFTER it's been rammed through the assembler that mangles just about every line of code? Modders don't have the source code, if you don't have the source code, you cannot and should not develop anything for the actual game
Adding on more cruft on top of an already compiled game is not a great way to 'patch out bugs'.
They wouldn't need to, modders would just create things they like for the game and the devs can use it if it happens to be fitting
I dunno, I'm pretty stoked for all of the performance improvements in this patch.
The rights issues alone would make that prohibitive.
the genie is out of the bottle unfortunately and we have to deal with mods being a thing even right in the middle of development where they are more of a hinderance than a help
The devs are not going to take some random persons bug fix that works in the context of the decompiled game.
If it works it works
Bit sad cause it was sometimes live saving to open the boat inventory to stop a catastrophe hahaha
That's a terrible approach to development.
No
And to work ethics ;p
we are mourning the passing of the "handbrake"
Hahah, I was thinking this, too xD though, ultimately, I'm glad it's been added (mostly because I'm usually the person who accidentally activates the emergency break)
The devs then need to deconstruct that mod, rewrite it, check what bugs it brings and so on.
Which costs time and resources that could be put to making the content the creators or the game want to create.
Community pooling for the more successful survival games like DayZ and Ark prove it's amazing for development
Anyway, Smiffe has explained the devs position on mods so there's nothing more to usefully be said.
Hahaha rip, I will never forget the Nordic handbrake
That's still faster than having to write the code originally since others have already done the legwork
Nice
An extremely detailed and reproduceable set of steps for a bug that's nicely written is 100x better than someone just 'making a fix' using decompiled code
The legwork wasn't done in the sourcecode so they'll have to completely rewrite it.
Haha, true.
Not entirely true right. But most likely.
Rewriting is fast by the way, but rewriting a mod to sell it is a scummy thing anyway
I would say that in almost all cases it would be a complete rewrite, the modder isn't following internal code styles and using the correct systems or classes
Most of a coding task is the designing (thinking)
Yeah devs will obviously be able to make higher quality changes, but that doesn't mean there's nothing useful to come from letting your community help improve your game especially considering how many people would happily help for free
Tha'ts what PTB is for.
well they've declined such help on several occasions so it's not going to happen
Quite unfortunate
That's what I thought
If that wasn't the case they'd have supported it by now probably
Yeah, not saying they have to do such a thing, but a lot of the logics should be re-usable, and a refactor is faster than designing something from scratch.
I mean taking work that has been done for free, yeah, bitch move. Considering the size of the team, I think we're totally fine in the sense of, we have good communication, we have patches, game is definitely not abandonned, and community is present
Still, depending on what we are talking about, it is better to have made something from scratch so you have deeper knowledge about what it does etc.
And probably doesn't fit in your architecture that well if it's a mod anyway.
we have had people suggesting good fixes and sometimes, those have worked out
so there you have it
it's literally amazing that the game works as smoothly as it does with it's tiny size and huge range of features
So, instead of arguing over this, which I don't think will make the devs change anything, why not just stop that conversation that leads to nothing ?
I don't think it's a bitch move personally, I think anyone who is passionate enough about the game to actually be able to help it's development would be proud if the devs used their idea
but.. most people don't even understand code or efficiency. and just say "optimize" and don't know what it is, or how
Ye majority of mods would probably be terrible lol
I also disagree a lot of the logic is reusable, that situation would be quite rare. If someone made a mod that fixed a bug, it could have been by skipping the core issue or applying a band aid. Stopping something from being null at the end of the pipeline is not the same as correcting a critical oversight. It depends on if the dev knows what the issue is or not.
I mean, yeah. But you're doing great ! Can't wait to see what you have in store for us
majority of mods either:
- don't fit out vision of valheim
- isn't balanced enough for what we would like them to be
- usually take away features or makes them to easy
We can: contribute to PTB testing when it happens.
Yeah depends on the mod, I actually jumped in the middle of a conversation I assumed it was a feature not a big fix.
sometimes having a direction of travel is enough, other times it's just, "gief moar FPS"
They already do, and for free
It was entirely about modders making bug fixes so the devs could make the game or something XD
Stutter vs FPS tho π
Yeah I mostly want the mods for added niche features, like more gameplay modes that the devs don't have to waste time developing
Leaving the burden of fixing/finishing the game to modders is a bad strategy. Bethesda has done that for the last couple games and it's made their games be not as good as they could've been
And that's what mods SHOULD be for. Not main game content or bug fixes.
I think it is interesting π€· and I will never advocating for developers doing X without having vast understanding of what X and Y is.
Ye the bug fixes aren't ideally what would be best for mods
Yeah that sounds like a terrible idea.
could always nerf the active area to one chunk xD that'd go down like a cup of sick xD
If the devs won't add them then they should be kept as mods.
That's pretty much their entire point: Add things devs won't
Could be inspiration for a fix if its source is available
Bug fixes that make more bugs than they fix...
I think a consensus is being reached slowly.
That's just how we make money
I get why, but I also don't, felt to me it was getting nowhere c:
Although community being able to bandaid a bug so the game is playable while devs get a core fix would be good
But if someone says that "Yo smiffe, when I attack this creature with this weapon while falling the game crashes, I think something is wrong in X part of that flow", Smiffe still has to apply that to the context of the 100k + lines of code that they wrote
Smiffe is coding now?
For sure π
even worse.
then I have to try to replicate it, figure out why it happens, when it happens, write it all down so my collegues can fix it
if it's even a problem
and not just a mod
If you don't know why it happens, all further steps are not possible to do
Just blame mods π
when is next update releasing?
There probably is no situation where you wouldn't have to do that though 
But it is his job
Same answer as yesterday, and the day before, and the day before.
||Channel topic||
1-2 times per day...
minimum
You mean for replicating or just passing on a report?
Modding the raids to have different NPC's would be extremely fun lol
Just spawning elder at your house
Well I love my life tbh you should envy it
At where I work, we can have like one bug but then 10 tickets are created for it and they all need to be manually handled 
make your house next to his altar and there you go...
Yeah, I think quite some people enjoy it. I prefer to just write bugs for a living
Ye but id only get it once
π¦
I mean I love to bug my games on purpose. It really helps with the job sometimes
you can spawn him how many times you want π
It's just fun until it's not hahaha
I work as Community manager and a QA-tester
Just need 3 seeds per summons.
there is no limit to how many times you can spawn a boss
What if you murder all greydwarfs
Sometimes you need to make another swamp key...like when you die in the swamp with the hardcore death penalty.
yep, and to your idea of the mod, you can ask in #mods-discussion if there isnt one like that and also talk about all the mods you want there π
and you don't even need a mod, incredible xD
Thx, unfortunately I can't use mods on valhizzy since I'm on xbox π¦
We expecting another update before π₯π₯π₯ PTB?
Just mod your Xbox to be a pc
Rolling things out takes a while or ptb is a rework of previous ptb version
Eh? No, the next patch will be Ashlands.
Thats what I was asking. Thx
Ah so no bugfix patches. Kk
We've just had one.
I misread things
Dyslexia?
Not as far as I know.
I read we as Was and I have no idea why.
Like "was expecting another update"
Too little sleep, too much staring at a screen, forgot to wear your glasses?
I did not sleep very well indeed. This hot weather is tiring me out
sorry but the Ashlands update is in another castle
Maybe snow is back next week
Makes Toad in the hole
Snow knows nothing.
Yes it is not a living thing
It knows even less if you call it John.
especially if its called Jon π
Indubitably.
New update is already there
Im updating on xbox
its not ashlands
No? Oh(
Yeah it's just a patch to fix stuffs
do you not see patchnotes channel?
Ashland's isn't even on ptb yet
I was playing 1 minute ago and my friend couldnβt enter in the game because i have older version
I saw it only minute ago
Good afternoon
Morninβ everyone
Noon, have you slept well.
How's the future?
beautiful, all people love each other π
Sounds painful
hihihi
Seeing thousands of people you love die every day
So my great great great granddaughter is pretty fine?
We did, we missed you during it.
Entertainment? Oh, the mod discussion? Heh, yeah.
Ah well, lunch break over, back to work. I guess there'll be more entertaining visitors since it's patch day. :p
Oh absolutely. I'm waiting for the onslaught of the peopel whose mods have broken.
Already happening

The unbelievable part is they report it as if that hadn't happened like 100 times already.
Is "Main game updates meaning mods will very unshockingly break as it happens with literally any other game" such a hard concept to grasp?
its just qol bro
same procedure as every update, Rianu ^^
A bigger update may be released soon 
Reading the patch notes. I can see why it's the size that it is. thanks for making the elder not spawn on the altar
I prefer Bees ^^
more time has passed since the last update than since the new update will come, sounds good ?
Feel kinda bad for "soon". Been tossed around lately quite a bit. Could mean anything

<- plays wow
Settlersonline, will know π
socrates : "how soon is soon?"
later then now and sooner then next time π
zeno: do we ever actually reach soon?
Asking the real questions
It's darker inside than at night
Soon we'll all know what it's like soon 
Just be (a Bee) π
I thought smiffe had specifically stated that next update after this PTB would be Ashlands but looking back I actually donβt think it was ever explicit
Wasn't it though?
rumors , please ^^

?
There is nothing new to know about Ashlands atm
Thatβs literally what I just said
"Eh? No, the next patch will be Ashlands." πΈDerekπΈ, at 9:33 AM
So there's that.
Ashlands releases ||when it releases.||
As soon as I can play it, that's when Ashlands will release.
Hugin better announce that the south of the 10th world calls to us π€π€π€
Don't forget Munin!
Fair enough, but IMO Hugin Supremacy πͺ
See this was my belief too but I looked through smiffeβs post history and Iβm now unconvinced. Why do I have this much time on my hands? I donβt. Iβm incredibly irresponsible with my time.
I am gonna try some of the QoL mods that I use just like when Mistlands came out (assuming they didn't do changes to smelting or crops) but if I can't get them to work I'll just re-clone a fresh build
Hmmmmmmmm the mystery deepens
Someone should ping Derek and thereby summon Derek.
Tomorrow
hopfully no more patches & PTB before Ashlands goes to PTB π₯²
Aha! See βhopefullyβ
There's no real need to ping me.
@marsh sentinel I just wanted to say hi, thank you for your pingingness and always being there
Everyone ping Derek now
nono ping me instead
ok also I misread as "pingsam" not spam so go on
sorry for the combo-break ;-;
Even Hugin knew.
Man, if only there were some kind of publicly availalable beta that mod authors could use to get ahead of that...
They do, the major mod authors anyway.
But they don't get the exact date and time of when a patch goes live so if they're at work/asleep when it drops it'll take a few hours.
RedSeiko I know for a fact is currently on vacation until the weekend.
yo is valheim crossplay?
Yes
What happened to the old patch note channel?
Server got hacked everything got deleted
Only public channels, but yeah, that's most of it.
Congrats on first patch!
It's the first patch since the game was released, look in #valheim-patchnotes
Of course it isn't π
I'm sure it was a joke
How does that help anyone?
First patch since hack. 
It helped me by making me feel a bit of joy
ππ₯³π
Don't believe in that old adage that "laughter is the best medicine", hey?
Or just having a crappy day?
I don't think poor taste jokes help anyone.
I'd like to thank all devs for finally patching the game
I think itβs intended to be humorous not helpful
π₯
Then I'm sure there's somewhere else it can go. We have enough people complaining about the lack of updates without them thinking this is the first one.
I'd like to also thank myself for making this possible
I couldn't have done it wihtout me
more content plz
I thought it was a good joke. Though it get's old as soon as the second person says
ah
how dare you joke about it
you should @marsh sentinel so he knows he is needed
gifists
Jif all the way
I want GIF power 
jef?
My name jef
the fact that you have to write "Jif" to pronounce Gif should be enough to know which is right
"Graphic Interchange Format"
When the update patch coming to Xbox?

I only type a certain way because society demands it, but jenerally speaking, I know the truth of the matter.
You mean "Jraphic Interchange Format"
she gets to pronounce her name any way she wants .. if not that's how you get stabbed
Jive me a break
One moose. Many meese.
One Cauld, Many Cauldron
Moose and goose pluralization is fun. It's based on the language the original word comes from π
Did you know that jranite is the second-toughest natural material on Earth, next to diamond?
Gust stop, please.

mort gauge
Ok, we've had enough fun fighting about gif vs jif. Now let's fight about processors: https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2024/04/intel-is-investigating-game-crashes-on-top-end-core-i9-desktop-cpus/
π
(srsly though, keep an eye on that if you've got a high-end recent Intel CPU)

In English you actually don't even have to say mice or geese when talking in specific terms. "I have seven Canada gooses" is correct English. "I like Canada gooses" is incorrect.
The fameous Grouse? π
You can use S to pluralize anything in English when talking about quantity
Factually incorrect, either way. No one likes Canadian Geese.
But it's just not taught that way
Because it's wrong.
So what's the best feature of the ash lands
gotta be the ash
THE FIRE
Grouse and Geese are different animals.
well we didnt play it yet so we have no idea π
same thing
We have no idea yet as we haven't played it.
the music as always π€
Another fun fact: They're Canada geese. They're only Canadian if they're actually from Canada π
if i had to form i guess based on what we know so far. the best feature is that the lands will possibly be ashy
They always come from Canada π€£
They don't, no.
I've got some American Canada geese that have been here all winter...
We just call them snowbirds up here.
Canada geese are coming! 
We have Canada geese here in the UK for most of the year.
They always go south for the Winter.
Ahh the time machine sent me back to far
Pretty sure they originate from Canada though
As a species, sure.
they are born in Canada, in the warm season, and then fly south in winter 
Apart from the ones that aren't born in Canada, yes.
I think they just migrate all over the place as well. They pop up even in Finland
And they nest in Finland sometimes
Some birds just have broken head compasses and end up in weird places if they are durable enough like the cobra chicken
then they're not Canadian obviously 
No. They're Canada geese. The species. It doesn't mean where they're from.
yes I know, I'm just kidding 
I have called them Canadian Geese my whole life. Probably will never change. It's too burnt into my head
Technically they spawned in Canada before it was called Canada 
I give up, this shouldn't be a difficult concept.
But then why do we have the Canadian Marble Fox? 
kanadsΚΉka kazarka - that's what their name sounds like in my language, and there are no geese there 
So they spawned in Canada
true
Tell me more about cobra chicken
But then why is it not Canadian Goose?
They are able to move to and fro
Is it because the marble fox is stuck in the north of Canada?
Cobra chicken is a canadaIAN goose
But why name it chicken
it has the body of a chicken and the neck and hiss of a snake
That makes sense, chickens make fun y noises
cobra turkey is maybe more accurate because the goose are fat
There are some sus bird noises around my place
I think they are fake
I need new chickens one of mine died
i just love that geese are so agressive while not really being dangerous π quite funny birds
Geese don't have teeth.
cant bite through my skin tho π
I get that it's a bone. But anyways, they have angry looking teeth
Geese have teeth on their tongues
Penguins have some similar nonsense going on
Conical papillae are not teeth.
Fine, fangs
If it looks like a goose, and it hisses like a goose...
If you let them grip you and get a good neck flick, they will for sure make you bleed a bit
mabe a bit, just bit of a scrape is not anything to pay attention to imo π (unless they have rabies, can birds have rabies?)
Isn't it mammals only?
i have no idea frankly
Rabbies on a fish???
Their weird teeth hurt me as a child
They will not be spared.
Fishbies?
We'd all be dead
Nuh uh
I remember some tourists to Canada just driving their kids stroller into a mama goose with like 8 babies and standing so close while she was clearly trying to cross the path to the water. They are lucky she didn't go at the kids face
She was hissing like crazy and they were just laughing at her
Birds can't have rabies, but you can often get bacterial infections and such from bites, salmonella is commonly carried by birds, etc.

So many great fixes
Ok.
Thank you Pegs xoxo
And the plural of grouse is greese.




I think "You are out of arrows" should be changed back to "You are out of arrow", because that was amusing. :>
Tfπ
Is it caturday yet? My eldest cat turned 14 monday
Or use the sarcastic line when you try to use key items on nothing
"Shoot 2-star Troll with what?"
Heh, or just throw the bow if you run out of arrows π
Man... the good old days of text based games. So many messages like that, I love it.
@tough aspen ashlands release is still set for first half of 2024? No specific date?π€
Yes
All right , thanks mate π

Thanks a lot π

As
Just those >_>
All right , good to know
Insanity at an all time high
lmao the enemy spawn update keeps spawning goblins in my base 

sadly before i noticed my poor 1star piggies farm took a hard hit i got non left 
Update?
ye
fellas!!!!!
I don't believe it's changed.
I think he means updated enemy spawn from defeating yag
this may be off topic but, i would like to ask you in your personal experiences if you had any course or class online to learn foreign languages because rn i would like to learn a bunch of them but idk which service may be really good regardless of the price, would you happen to know some service like that?
Duolingo is free
somewhere where i can talk to teachers and practice the language
Not a bad way to learn basics, depending on how advanced you want to become it's a good start
Also, not changed.
i suppose you are right
He doesn't mean patch update just the enemies updating I think
Depends on the language, I guess?
hello, just joined when will it be time for ashlands?
hmm
Seems so close , yet so far....
Nowadays some of the duolingo questions include using your microphone, it's good to practice pronunciation if you're just starting off. After that you could try and find more advanced places. One thing that always helps me with learning a new language is just watching movies/shows in that language with subs, it's a good way to learn ^^
And as echo-y as it is, there's a subreddit for learning pretty much any language
perhaps, maybe a particular service doesnΒ΄t teach several alnguages
Duolingo is good to get started but more immersion will be required to properly speak it
also playing with a person that speaks the lngge that you are learning i suppose
Indeed, best way is maybe to befriend someone and try and talk in the language later on
aight then
Or using a game you're familiar with to localise it in the language you're after
tysm!
You wont tell us which? ;-;
Seems a bit extreme but you could also move to the country where the language of your interest is spoken , preferably to the part where english isn't spoken much so you HAVE to learn the language
Usually moving somewhere requires at least basic prior knowledge, again, just depending on language
True
As I said a bit extreme , but imho definitely effective
What language is that if you don't mind me asking?
I wanted to know too but I guess he's gone ;-;
Yeah just curious
duolingo is bad
i speak 4 languages and i know a thing or two
Duolingo is a perfectly good starting point for learning a language.
Obviously it doesn't beat proper tuition but it's certainly not bad.
depends on the language really.
Duolingo japanese, for example, aint great
the most effecient way ive found to learn a new language is to surround yourself with said language, even if you cant understand it fully yet.
for example if you wanna learn german I'd advise you to change your devices languages to german (keep important stuff in ur mother language ofc), do gaming in german, if you have any hobbies watch and do those in german
also you have to be courageous to go out there and speak with locals (online) even if you make hilarious mistakes
duolingo is too slow and it doesnt really let info stick in your brain idk its a nothingburger app
Duolingo is good for seeing words repeatedly.
No-one is denying there are many better ways to learn a language.
I've only tried the German and Latin courses on duolingo but both seem fine as what they are supposed to be.
Smiffe working the midnight oil so we can have Ashlands sooner
x to doubt
No doubt
Interesting way to get banned.
Yus, now I can say "juice" in my sleep!

In certain languages that I'm currently learning as in
I stopped my Duolingo 200 day streak and it sent a notification
"What's the translation to -quitter- again?"
Shit's so sassy
Oh, that bird do be sassy.
After seeing that I was like
Ok now I don't care
I hadn't used it in a few years, did again few days ago. Kinda shocked that it's now like a mobile game? I got midroll ads? Offers for nitro or whatever?
But eh, still fine
Duolingo is bad without pro
I have no problem with it.
And the choices of words are pretty terrible
Well, that depends on who worked on the language you're learning. Some are definitely weird.
Getting a free 3-day trial for the premium every once in a while is nice, although the ads do get annoying without it.
I had a couple freezes but going fairly strong with a 217-day streak
Nice! I've only recently picked it up again after a long break and I'm on 30 days.
Day 6 for me but I started a new lingo >_<
And which one? 
which one?

XDDD
I saw that Derek π’
Lol, I couldn't resist the joke.
wt r u imblyin

I'm implying your English is amazing and you'd ace Duolingo with it.
Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwh 
And genuinely that's true. There's a bunch of you in here that are constantly talking in a 2nd or other language and doing far better than many that suppposedly learned it from birth.
So who learns which language? 
I'm learning French~
I've been learning Swedish a while now, but just getting back into it.
I used to ages ago! But dropped it :C
Difficult to pronounce 
Hiya!
Easier when your native language is already a romance one~
Interesting language 
still looking out at the moment
That said, protip for those that know English very well (as a secondary language) and want to use Duolingo to learn another language: do yourself a favor and do the English course for your target language, instead of starting from your native language's.
Most of the time you will get a lot more material, and of better quality.
I'll never forgive the french
I'm liking it. There's a lot more noun agreement than in English, but it's fairly consistent and not too bad.
The Spanish-French course is tiny compared to the English-French one, and doesn't have that B2 cert
The whole world speaks English
Then there's the French
They always looked insulted when I spoke English there
God damn I just want breakfast
No need to speak french for that
Oh, the French look insulted when you try and speak to them in FRENCH.
maybe thats just their general look?π€ π
Well, the French get insulted a lot in memes and stuff so I guess it's fair if they have a constant look of "I've been insulted". :p
I should try the Norwegian course on duolingo to see how sensible it is.
Duolingo teaches you how to say:
My daughter never showers
The point of what it does it to teach your grammatical constructions and definitions, enough so that you can start to build your own sentences and such.
The first week, all I knew how to say was "I am a mother"
But he won't explain why 
It does not teach you key phrases to repeat whenever.
I want key phrases
You get silly stuff like 'I am an apple' but it still helps
Then you might want to look elsewhere~
It does also teach you some important words and expressions, but yeah a main function is teaching you how a language works.
If anyone has seen the video of the Irish man talking about how much a bottle of water costs in different places
I memorized it in another language
And if you know how the language works you can easier learn the words to put properly into the language
Yes, phrases are constructed differently in each language, even though they say the same thing 
I quit Duolingo anyway
Stopped my pro... ( I think)
The second animal I learned in Swedish was moose. The third? Reindeer.
I'd have to check
Those are both common animals in sweden.
I guess, but I think everywhere else you'd learn cat and dog first.
The first stuff I learned in latin was saying "my name is <some name> and terms for various family members and stuff.
Typical starter stuff when learning a language.
They ate them all in the cold winter 
What was the first animal?
I believe it was dog.
I studied Latin at university, a pretty simple language for me 
ok
The first thing you need to learn in a language is the alphabet and how it sounds, and only then move on to words, I think 
I started learning Norwegian in Duolingo. My 2nd word was coffee. Nice!
Well, it's a good start 
Maybe there are servers in the discord where people who are learning a language are looking for people who are learning their language, and speaking what they are learning in order to communicate and hone their pronunciation 
From the start of the French and German course, it seems to pretty consistently teach you how to introduce yourself first, and then how to order water/coffee/tea/bread
Hmm I got pinged, but then I come and there is no ping π€
Although you can just wave your hand and point your finger at what you are bored with on the menu or at the bar 
Not fun tho
While it's better to know English for traveling, locals will know it better than you'll know the local language anyway 

is anyone havingg issues loading into their game today? ive never had any problems but i am rn
Game just had an engine update, if your game is modded you will have to remove or update them to work.
Otherwise, if it's just your world taking too long to load, try starting the load and waiting without doing anything - no alt-tab, no clicking, etc.
i just deleted my mods and its works now thanks π
Looking for a vanilla server for casual play....any suggestions?
#1024264966712340510 is a great place for that
Can either give the forums a browse with filters for vanilla servers or make your own post there asking for invites.
I need to incorporate that into my rotation of #1024264966712340510 responses.
It makes the suggestion more specific and more helpful in general
any ideas on what to do when someone exploits and griefs your server
along with joining the voice chat and JQing and using racial slurs
kick/ban?
owner left for something XD
more so refering to the person in discord doing said things, unless theyre allowed to use this discord to grief and spam slurs
If anyone is using slurs in our VCs please open a ticket with @worn finch
Did you know that discord can record voice clips in VC or calls now?
You gotta go into your settings to disable it
actually i have the clip
yall like starcraft 2:
geforce experience always recording
always
In the Legend of Zelda, Link can equip iron boots so he can sink to the bottom of a lake. When he unequips them, he floats back up. This doesnβt make sense though, because itβs not like he gets any lighter or anything, so how does he float?
β¦These are the thoughts that are keeping me up tonight.
but his ability to breathe underwater from the act of donning a tunic doesn't bother you at all? xD
bro needs to up the wetsuit game
his bag has 100% weight reduction
i mean, it works once, if you assume the iron is somehow tied on and can be untied so the guy can float back up, but when you get inside temples and bro is equipping them and unequipping them a million times, yeh...
i'd file it in the ranged parry section: too fun to not do
ranged parry doesn't like, violate physics though. it's possible - just incredibly, almost impossibly difficult for real-world humans. there are people who can nowadays but it's more a show than a practical skill. that said if you get enough practice you'd be able to move your shield/weapon before the projectile was shot because you'd be able to predict the rough trajectory and speed, the trick is just getting that practice without becoming one with the projectile a few hundred or thousand times
unless you're talking specifically about valheim's ranged parry which stumbles the attacker from like 10 metres away which does violate physics but tbh, I'd always put this down to the attacker being shocked that we actually pulled off the parry, like it's such an awesome move the draugr is all "NANI?!" before catching a spear to the face
yes the ranged stagger, which was removed from the game, but then added back, bcoz "too fun to not have"
tbh games should be exploring the boundaries a bit or they'll end up all being carbon copies
i can't believe they removed it in the first place, it was hands down one of the best parts of melee combat
some prefer the ultra realism take
but i'm glad there's middle ground, especially on that xD
I think they would need to compensate melee somehow if it was removed. The simplest thing I could think of is making most projectiles not drain stamina
i think it's very realistic to have an attacker stunned by the fact that you deflected a projectile travelling too fast for your eyes to follow it
if i shot an arrow at someone and they cut it out of midair fractions of a second before it hit them you better believe I'd stand there dumbfounded as they ran up on me and sent me to the valkyries
tbh the fact that the french and scottish didn't use that tactic against english longbowmen all those centuries ago is really a huge skill issue
good news is we don't have to justify it being a thing i'm psure it will stay as is
we'd be in the land of crazy if it were removed a 2nd time xD
The rules of warfare were different back then.
It takes a considerable effort to shoot with a longbow so it's a honorable thing to just stand there and get hit.
Source: I know a history teacher

honourably my ass, im not a masochist, aint not way ill take a hit willingly
Morning gjall!
Good morning to you and your honorable donkey.
Warfare in the ye olde days was weird and gruesome and armies that broke the mold frequently won but they were few and far between.
hello lovely ppl! 
The coffee-lord has been usurped
I pretend its tea and everything is back to normal.
Hello lovely.
Well it's not ^_^
Leave me my illusions!
Oh I do.
Phew.
MorningNoon Vikings
Murning Murning.
Kamap
hii! Hows you today?
Physically tired but a good tired.
Went for a bike ride this morning 12km in 28 min 49 sec.
4+ minutes I followed a speed pedelec going 32 km/h.
For the rest I'm fine.
You?
Ooftβ¦
I am good
had a decent day yesterday and a chill one today so starting good
Welp, time to start the work week, yaaay π«
noon everyone π
We don't question anything Zelda
Zelda is perfect, logic is useless
oops, discord did the late loading
I question the Link from Zelda to Valheim.
ah yes it's
this was the last message before everything suddenly loaded
now it all makes sense.
I told you, you don't question anything zelda
i question everything except 42.
What if Zelda was a girl
she is!
Afternoon my good sir 
Orange is nicuu 
I don't think I have an orange polish...
otherwise i would go with Black 
what about red?
But thats just me...
Red is a winter color silly
π
Black works all year 
They were black previously ^-^
Ahh okii
yellow?
Bronze/gold/browneish
something of that sort
Already started on dragon-egg magenta 
π
oh i am great π dont have to do anything today and just ate lunch so i am relaxing now π
Nice nice 
Good noon @tardy vale Hows you today? 
lunchy! π
Nice nice, whats for lunch?
the worst kind
sallad?
I had to take Drive through since I picked up things on my lunch
McD π¦
nothing wrong with a sallad
π

you need a smiffe-sallad then
mainly consist of egg, bacon (strimlade), ham, shrimp π
is it a sallad if the leafy bits is less than 10% ???
sometimes a cuecumber and some lettuce (ontop so no one see all the meat hiding under)

Haha suuuureee....
Yes 

i would nevahhh....
But maybbbeee... also at the office super bored wanna go home and play gamez
pretty fun perhaps
Pretty enjoyable too
pretty easy on the ol' eyes
Pretty neat to ponder
pretty receptive on the neurons
Pretty pretty, pretty sure
go home!
or "work the rest of the day from home" π
Yea could do actually 

rest the day home from work
our office opted for this year 4 years ago and haven't looked back. based on our sprints we've actually ended up MORE productive π
It is no longer winter? There is snow this weekend
It's 27C where I live π₯²
Ewwww. That is way too hot for April.
It's ait
How hot does it get in the summer?
Last july maximum was 46 ^-^
Indoors? That's a lot of heating
where tf you live
I need that bike temp in my veins
π΅
Europe
Oh wow, I can't even imagine that...
Wait till its 30 c at night
46...... is that a desert?!
make that 36 C and 60% humidity
I biked a serpentine on 32 C once
I do not think I have sweated SO much in my life
Comfy max 30c is good enough for me
i prefer 20 C with no humidity,
I don't live in a desert, just in the Balkans π₯²
Forget me not blue, my favorite color.
They're already done ;-;
Whole ass hour ago
Yes that's why I said max 30c
That's like peak temperature here
I remember cycling home in humid Netherlands on my racing bike in 40c in 2018, that was uncomfortable
but it feels SO worth it in the evening doesn't it?
I live in a high mountain desert and it might be my favorite climate.
I like near the woods
Not at that time, it was pretty terrible. I moved tho
Guess it's just me
Practically on the border as well, and lake/river close by south and west
Do you mean the exercise or the 30 degree nights
the feeling of after completing the biking escapade and in the evening just collapsing on a chair
How I can send a image
Yeah that's kinda nice
you canΒ΄t here, you have to go to #screenshots
I have play Valheim in my school
Ashlands when
@tough aspen
I forgot the command
The command died



Chocolate is toxic to cats
That pic is pretty blursed
Just tell yourself they're carob chips cookies.
That doesn't mean cats won't steal it if they think it might be food-related.
Oh no, they'll steal anything that they think you want. I just meant because carob isn't toxic to them, so you can feel better about enjoying the picture. Even if it may be a self deception.
I always have to convince myself that the most petulant folks in the help channels are 12 year olds whose moms bought the game for them.
Grown folks acting that way does brutal things to my faith in humanity.
I love you devs. Bless you all! β€οΈ
Do you like us non-devs too ;-;
ofc!
@drowsy imp Pathfinder is pretty awesome if you want an alternative to 5e
@crystal prawn this is probably a better place to discuss side-topic stuff like that
Thanks, I now know for the next time
Pathfinder still has classes tho, ye?
I'd suggest looking broader than high fantasy. There are some amazing TTRPG systems in cyberpunk, gothic horror, folk horror, low fantasy, and a whole bunch of generic systems that you can build a world around.
I've been wanting to get into it tho, but I'm already so deeply invested into 5e
It does, but it's still a lot more flexible with the action economy and some customizations and such
Context is which system would be the best basis for a Valheim-themed campaign
5e would have issues with how the game handles gear and stats, imo
But I don't really know any classless TTRPGs
Well, it's low fantasy for sure. GURPS might be an option. There's no shame in curtailing the influence of magic in a D&D campaign either.
I was thinking GURPS because of Fallout actually, yeah
Because of Fallout?
Wasn't the first Fallout based out of a GURPS campaign?
And it's also a classless game
Afaik
deepnorth when 
I don't know. I know Steve Jackson developed GURPS, but I'm not sure about any relation to Fallout.
I feel told off
It was mostly for Hyper π
Yes blame hyper
Good. Go sit on your time-out step, and be thankful you're not having to endure corporal punishment. π

"Tim Cain began working on Fallout in 1994. It began as a game engine based on Steve Jackson Games's tabletop role-playing game GURPS. Interplay dropped the license after Steve Jackson Games objected to Fallout's violence, and Cain and designer Christopher Taylor created a new character customization scheme, SPECIAL."
Yessir.
(Please someone help me removing the link embed, discord mobile sucks)
My eyes, the embedddd
You're a gentleman and a scholar
I just click the x on the embed after I post it because I'm lazy
I would've done that but mobile doesn't let you 
Discord mobile fail again... what are we at, 37 or so at this point? π

I knew the power, I knew the way, because I'm a cat anyway 
I found how to make animated stickers, it turns out it's quite simple 
I'd like to know your secrets. Also, if you discover scratch-n-sniff, I want to learn.
Ashlands ?
Channel description
my friends thinking about buying game, but want buy it from cdkeys dot com. Is that website ,,connected,, to developers aswell or they its shady? I know I bought somee games from there, but now I am not sure if its not stolen keys
Anything that resells keys directly is shady and not connected to the developers at all
It's safest to buy games on official platforms 
https://isthereanydeal.com/game/valheim/info/ is an excellent resource if you want to look for reputable alternatives, if they exist
without even looking at the site, it sounds shady lol
you can buy valheim from HumbleBundle
it's a safe site
they have valheim on discount sometimes when steam isn't on a sale
alright, ty all for the info π
Can you vouch for IndieGala? I see it listed in the site I just shared but haven't really heard much from it
never heard about it so :/
btw, anybody persuaded any world of warcraft player to play this? My friend playing Wow whole his life and his argument to not try this game is ,,bad graphics,, and ,,taking too much time,,. Like wow has similiar graphic style and taking a lot more time, what are these arguments π
OK BUT, WHEN IS ASHLANDS COMING OUT ?? 
looks at the channel topic
Where is that emoji
Samara has it, but I think she's asleep this time of day
nah, you just need to call π Saaaam!! Somebody wants to know when ashlands will be here. ||@tough aspen ||
first half of 2024
Needs to tell smiffe to make that an emoji

it's like 9 pm plus have you ever seen me afk
Fair π I still don't like tagging people in general. It feels like an imposition and I've probably got some issues to work through in that regard π
Tag me always
Based
Why are the markers on the map so large all of a sudden
XBox? I believe it's a UI scaling to 4k bug with the latest release and one of the quality presets if I have been paying attention to the other chatter.
There might be more info in #xbox-bugs-discussion
Okay
Alrighty
Im playing minecraft rn with 4096 render distant
i deserve my suggestions perms back π
That's a discussion to have with Modmail
Nice
i said "i thought it was good idea π " and then they closed the ticket without even responding
in my defense, dvergr beard nunchucks would be HARD
Did you get banned from suggestions for suggesting beard nunchucks? Thatβs a really funny thought π
yup π
i need some justice
at least my friend got banned for a good reason: suggesting a paid battle pass
Neither of you seem to have been banned.
Yeah, would probably be a good idea to reach out to modmail if you wanted negotiate that haha
i literally have the "NO SUGGESTIONS" role
So do I. Still not banned.
Again... this is not the place to discuss those things. ModMail is a message to all the mods, and they don't tend to rescind their decisions if you don't seem to have learned why things happened.
Let's drop it here
π«‘ yessir
I'll
try
my best
Planet Sugar? π€ interesting name
Sounds like a gentleman's club.
i haven't slept in days, i'm too excited for ashlands
I really want to sleep too :D
do we think it will release in april? they keep hinting that itβs soon and right around the corner
We'll have a better idea once it hits PTB
so far, before Q3 2024 is still the best bet π
When is the update
"so far, before Q3 2024 is still the best bet π"
tbh besides possible bugs whatβs the difference between ptb and full release
you can still play on a ptb world when full release comes out right
Maybe if everyone would just stop jogging their elbows so they can concentrate on getting it released? lol
well. you are wrong π€

oh? I thought it was first half... Q3 would start at halfway point of year
Oh? Before Q3 is wrong?
Q1 = jan, feb, mars
Q2, April, May, June
Q3, July, August, September
Q4, October, November, December
First half of 2024 means Q1 and Q2
Right, so wouldnβt before Q3 = Q1 and Q2?
so saying "before Q3" sounds wrong and is wrong
The first half IS before Q3 though?
you can just be correcr by saying "before the year 430958340958304503485309458" and also be correct
might be arguing semantics at this point, but before Q3 would indicate before Q3 starts, which would indicate Q1/Q2
well. yes
Who on Earth refers to the first half of a year as 'before the third quarter'?
but before Q3 sounds just like we will drop it in the nick of time
π maths again
OK.
dont mention math XD i am writing enterance exam tomorrow XD (well... today...)
if it only was so easy
@calm patrol so please say "before the end of Q2" instead. okay ? π
if that's your guess
Lots of confidence it wonβt be the nick of time ey smiffe
Gurps can be used for pretty much any setting, can't it?
π€
It's called generic universal role playing system for a reason.
I mean from what grimmcore said in that YouTube video it sounds like yall are ready and just polishing
you should look at my latest twitter post π
Speaking of twitter, still no way to get updates in the discord for posts?
Whatβs your twitter handle?
Rainbow unicorn valheim attack confirmed
RUVAC ?
π¦΄β¨
For sure π just feels like a thing to be doing in the last stages of testing is all
Valheim is the only reason I might give Elon another user, but I still don't want to π
If you're not already on Twitter, don't be. I'm still trying to wean myself off.
I usetawas, but I killed my account
you can still read twitter posts, right?
I think it limits you now
If there's a direct link. Can't see replies, can't see individual user pages. Forces a login for everything else.
Smiffe, can you disable polls?
I wish
Or is it another stupid feature that you can't disable on servers
we made a rule tho
3) Spamming in text chats is not allowed. Spamming, screaming, making disturbing noises or harassment in voice chats is strictly forbidden. (Reaction spam and voting polls count as spamming)
No, you have to have an account
I saw his video, you can see an individual post if it's directly linked. But you can't see account pages or replies or anything.
So taking that as no, there's no way to see the posts in discord channel update fashion like before
Yeah ig that's fair, bcuz polls take too much space and if every user in chat made a poll it would be a catastrophe
130k users atm. imagine if people started to do 10 option polls π
Omg yeah xD
Should people be allowed to make polls?
1 No.
I am not against them as a feature. but letting anyone do it as long as they have "view channel" permission?
Good evening folks 
It's the best for announcements, but I think we will need to wait like 1 another year for them to implement that
Announce the banning of polls with polls
should the polls be banned?
1: Yes
2: Option 1
Anyone that says no is banned π¨
I think they call that a honeypot... or possibly entrapment π
Sounds good to me π
The answer is 3, all of the above.
still no ashlands ?
Ashlands will come out in first half of 2024
there will be public test beta

hey guys are there any good action rpg's that have a lot of builds and have good combat?
Helldivers 2?
Need friends who play for that :(
i havent personally played Enshrouded, but it looks interesting.
anyone looking for people to play with
I am sure somebody in #1024264966712340510 Is π
ashlands when
Ashlands will come out in first half of 2024

Devs should make the bot auto respond to the phrase π€£
Well there was once a bot that responded to ?ashlands with nearly identical message, but since the hack incident he has been disabled
Awww! Heh!!
Sad, update broke so many mods
@crimson pier just wondering what your pfp is? π
The mandelbrot set, a fractal.
The one in my pfp was made by a command setup I did in minecraft, which was based on a program I wrote in college for fun.
FOR MANAGED DEMOCRACY!!
Nice. I did something similar, made a cool interface that'd let you click and zoom in on sections of it. I've lost the code by now, though
I tried adding that functionality, it always broke after the first zoom in. Sadly the laptop I had visual studio on died and I lost the login as well, so haven't done any coding in years (it was an account I had during my college courses).
Also never got to expand on it any further because of it.
That game has taken over my friend gaming group in ways I haven't seen since Valheim first came out.
valheim dominated the friends I had when it first dropped, and they then dropped off it while in swamp stage, which i get, but it's so worth seeing it through to mountains and beyond
i love this game to death but why do we get punished for progressing?
What do you mean?
why do they add more raids that happen after each boos and such?
New raids?
bees are happy (:
