Hi I'm looking for some other players to join me going through the mist lands, I have a spare set of gear for who ever wants it

[zealous anchor]

maybe you should DM modmail, its a bot not a human

[misty bison]

good idea thanks

[lean fable]

[torn dagger]

Any server that speaks Spanish that invites me to play?

[zealous anchor]

maybe try #1024264966712340510

[gloomy rock]

Why don’t you ask in the pz server there’s so many people and servers advertising there

[flint cipher]

3 tries and full preparation, i killed bonemass

except my helmet it was bronze lvl 3

[scenic imp]

When it's maypole season, but you haven't started your main base yet.

[tardy vale]

should be now

[scenic imp]

...I think you missunderstood my message.

[tardy vale]

oh

yeah. I am on vacation brain

time to mass build bases

[scenic imp]

Haven't really touched my acctual playthrough world since beating queen, so I have quite some prep to do though.

[fair jacinth]

I live in the mountain so it doesnt really fit my base, gonna have to make a new one by hildir or smth 😔

[rain quest]

You could hide it in a wall or something. You'll still get the comfort but it wont ruin the aesthetic

[fair jacinth]

Thatll work, thanks!

[stiff jungle]

If a portal lights up, does it render waht is on the other side of it?

[marsh sentinel]

No.

[tardy vale]

game only renders around players

[vivid field]

just imagining the nightmarish performance of portal rooms if this were implemented... eek

[modest moth]

For a second, I thought it meant the portal showing a glimpse of what's facing on the other side.

That would be nice

[marsh sentinel]

That's what they did mean.

[modest moth]

By render I assume meaning actually rendering the chunk around the destination portal

[gloomy rock]

Back to what words mean what

[scenic imp]

Perhaps portals could screenshot terrain and structure each time they are linked or passed through.

Then they wouldn't have to load anything but could still vaguely display the area on the other side.

[gloomy rock]

It’s not as simple as a screenshot if you’re expecting the view to change as you walk around the portal

[modest moth]

Exactly, "if"

But it could be a static image that doesn't change. Maybe only distorted due to the portal, but that's it

It's not like it should actually even show creatures and entities moving/interacting on the other side

[gloomy rock]

What’s the point of adding that immersion when you lose it by walking closer to the portal

[modest moth]

Wdym?

[gloomy rock]

Depth wouldn’t be there with just a screenshot

Your view would have to change depending on your distance and angle from the portal which doesn’t happen by just printing a screenshot

Really my msg is a whole lotta nothing

Hey new to this server I played this game a lot a couple of years ago and getting back into it. Would love to get into a server to play with other people and not solo it, im 26

[hardy girder]

hi im dot

[tulip mauve]

Take a look around #1024264966712340510 , might be something that fits you

[woven walrus]

good evening being unable to transport minerals in the portals, are we obliged to redo a base in each biome?

[tulip mauve]

Hi Dot, I'm a Snail

[woven walrus]

build a new base

[hardy girder]

u can change that in world options

[orchid tide]

Thanks I’m going to look into that!

[marsh sentinel]

There's absolutely no reason to build a base in each biome.

[hardy girder]

wanna chew on rope

[tulip mauve]

You can. Can also transport them back to your main base though (that's what most people do)

But as Gravel said, you can also change the settings so you can take metals through portals, although its not the intended gameplay loop

[gloomy rock]

There’s also spoilers || more than one type of portal ||

[woven walrus]

ok ty everyone

[hardy girder]

does anyone want to chew on rope

please

[tulip mauve]

That's a long journey, you'll be seeing blobs in other biomes too 😄

[wraith lichen]

FUUUUCK

[serene tree]

Where's the info come from? Haven't found anything from Smiffe confirming they're night spawns

[wraith lichen]

why me?

[marsh sentinel]

From the game?

It's literally in the code. Why does information have to come from Smiffe?

[serene tree]

Doesn't, was asking

How does one look at the code

[marsh sentinel]

https://github.com/Valheim-Modding/Wiki/wiki/Valheim-Unity-Project-Guide has a guide on asset ripping the game. It's not something I've done myself so I can't tell you too much more.

[serene tree]

Was just curious if it was posted anywhere

[marsh sentinel]

https://github.com/kirilloid/valheim/tree/main/src is probably the closest you'll get. It's I use as reference anyway.

[serene tree]

Yep, found the asksvin spawn reqs, thanks

[hexed yew]

You have now lost the game

[marsh sentinel]

The 90s called. It wants its meme back.

[hexed yew]

😭

[misty bison]

Wrong. The game has lost me. I have moved on from petty mental squabbles and have reached an enlightenment only seen in those who truly are free from the grasp of old memes

[karmic shuttle]

lol bro - i died to a 2 star leech last night. and i was... IN FULL ROOT ARMOR. armor that was supposed to protect me from poison. 😂 next time i will remember to carry anti posion with me

[crimson inlet]

Resistances are interesting
Buff resistances like godpowers and potions are way better

[eternal hare]

are needle arrows best for moder? or are poison better

[grave cove]

are withered bones not "bones"??

[grand gorge]

I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask, but is the valheim music royalty free? can I use it youtube videos? Thanks!

[gusty hazel]

A quick google would tell you that the music in Valheim is licensed to Iron Gate, and you can only avoid a copyright strike from the owners of the music (not Iron Gate) if you're streaming the game

[umbral fog]

mornin gjall 😄

[proven dagger]

Morgen gjall!

[crimson inlet]

🤔 interesting question considering needlearrows come after mountain in logic

[umbral fog]

well poison have more total dmg but most of it is poison which is a dot and it doesent stack, you would have to wait after each arrow for the poison effect to end to get all the dmg, with needle you can just shoot as fast as you like

[proven dagger]

Needle if you can get them, else use obsidian if you fire arrows faster than once each 5 seconds.

[native dew]

Good afternoon vikings!

[umbral fog]

Heyooo Murning 😄

[proven dagger]

Noon Murning, been a while that I have been able to use Murning Murning.
Are you busy in the Murnings?

[native dew]

Always.. its been crazy and prepping for TwitchCon too so excited tho

Hows Kamap & Asatru today?

[proven dagger]

Doing good, just had my birthday and it was a chill one, had the whole day all for myself and I only had to cook what I wanted to eat.

[native dew]

Oooh happy belated birthday hun!! That sounds great!!! Hope you had a great day! 🎉

[proven dagger]

It was, had a bike ride of about 2 hours and did slightly less than 45km, took a shower, did some little chores since I couldn't yet sit because I would be stiff because of the biking, had lunch, played games (mostly Valheim) till the kids and the wife got home.
Friday I was also at home and chilled.

[native dew]

Ohh perfect

[umbral fog]

i am recovering from busy weekend 😄 my teacher had a birthday on saturday (which involved quite a bit of drinking) and right after that i had to wake up at 3:30 on sunday to get ready for two matches we had XD

also happy birthday kamap 🥳 🎂

[native dew]

Oh man gurrd 3.30!!! Cray cray!!!

[umbral fog]

Yeah, i had to catch a bus to take me back to my city from where we would ride to another city where we would play one match, after that we had to immidiately back to my city ehre there would be another match. All that while i had slept approximately 2 hours 🤣

[proven dagger]

You did win I hope.

[umbral fog]

one of them, the earlier one we lost by one point 😄

[native dew]

[proven dagger]

Nice.
ps: I don't know if I told you already but I successfully punched a lox from full health to death, took a while but I was able to circle strafe and punch it till it was no more and it became an ex-lox.

[umbral fog]

yep i think you did 😄 and again nice job, i have yet to try that XD

[void valve]

#1024264966712340510 Is the place for noobs to find a group to play with.
Happy hunting.

[void valve]

I have but they haven't responded yet... maybe i'm just being impatient haha

[umbral fog]

from my experience it can indeed take some time there, but that really depends on person putting the post there 🙂

[native dew]

Anyone in here going to Twitchcon EU?

[proven dagger]

I advice having knives as backup and using light armor, troll, root and fenris are very good and fenris can serve you well all trough the plains and into the mistlands.
Also know that while poison arrows might seem good arrows, they are only good if you shoot an arrow like every 5 seconds if you shoot faster than that, obsidian wins out.
Frost arrows are good for slowing down mobs and once you get in the plains needle ones are solid damage.

Any more questions about bows (like getting finewood bow before black forest) just ask, I love using the bow and knives.

[void valve]

Sounds good! I appreciate the advice (:

[umbral fog]

no time or money for that unfortunately :/

[native dew]

Ahh too bad! I want to see as many fellow gamers as possible

[proven dagger]

I can't make it either.

[grave cove]

who gave the ashlands undead hearing aids???

[tulip mauve]

Devs. But luckily they fixed it on the first patch of the PTB

[grave cove]

so it's not intentionally that all undead within view range will come for you if you hit a tree or rock just once? 😅

[modest moth]

The Helmet of root set gives you 50% resistance, mead gives 75, but if it did kill you alone, without other mobs damageing you there is most likely something wrong with your good choices

[warped gyro]

Hey guys… id lile to start a new world with 2 friends. But id like for all of us to be able to log on when ever we want. Do i need to rent a server for that?

Guess its called a dedicated server?

[zealous anchor]

yes

[eager jacinth]

Any mods or Devs able to send me a DM?
I have an important mission!

[marsh sentinel]

If you need to talk to a mod, DM @worn finch

[eager jacinth]

Thank you bud! Sent it across

[warped gyro]

But if a make my own server my pc must ve on all the time right?

But if i rent one it doesnt matter

[vivid field]

if you rent one it has to be on all the time too

if you want it to be accessible 24/7 that is.

Personally I don't really see the point, and consider them a huge waste of resources

[spark thunder]

If you rent one, it is on all the time.

[vivid field]

most of the time; not all ||server maintenance, network failures, etc.||
but I was addressing the point that "it doesn't matter" is wrong because whether it's a rented server or your own it's the same: it matters that the server is up and running when you want to use it

[karmic shuttle]

well, i am the main builder on my world. and farmer. i have a lot of responsibility. i have to make sure the boars are fed, so that there's meat for sausages and stew and meat for wolves, i have to make sure the farm has seeds planted in it. i'm also the chef. and the engineer. and the ranger. and the blacksmith. and the prospector. i'm also the brewer and the inventory manager. i brew the meads needed for each situation. oh... and im also the carpenter. making furniture and decorations for comfort. so i'm quite burnt out. and then people that have already beaten the game come to my world with their toys and their magic, and just make everything i do look like a joke. so yeah. i made afew mistakes. sure. but can you really blame me? ( i forgot to mention i was also fighting abominations, fending off 1 star and 2 star draugr, and blobs, and wraiths, and oozers. )

[fair jacinth]

not to sound like a jerk but what does 80% of that have to do with the reply

[umbral fog]

Well thats the case i named before 🙂 since you were fighting mobs and were low on health while you got poisoned that explains it, and since you already had 50% reduction of the poison dmg even the mead might not have been enough. I was certainly not trying to blame you or accuse you from being bad in the game or something 🙂 we all make mistakes

[karmic shuttle]

because i'm doing 80 percent of the work - i'm overwhelmed and cant think strategically. i forget important items or forget to use them.

[vivid field]

solo players do 100% of the work.

There's not really any reason to get overwhelmed. Just take your time; Valheim is a slow game. Although if your friends are leeching off you and rushing content while not pulling their own weight of the "chores" it might be better to stop playing with them or at the very least not give them all the fruits of your labor

[flat snow]

Anyone free to help me find a swamp

[fair jacinth]

With no hate to your efforts ofc. My friends are literal bags of rocks i carried all the way to yagluth from start (all love to them). I did js abt everything from taming and farming to defending and exploring. If youre burnt out over playing the game that might be a sign my dude 🤷‍♀️ take it easy, valheim is more then the grind.

[karmic shuttle]

i only was responding to yi zaha... i was just making a joke and trying to make him feel better because he felt bad about dying to blobs... i didn't ask to be graded on my actions. "oh you must be bad at game." so i had to defend myself.

[wraith lichen]

ayyyyyyyy who tf is trying to attack tired mouse

imma beat you up if you try that again😡

[wraith lichen]

you dont have to defend yourself i will defend you

[spark thunder]

Apologies. I was responding to Ben. But I can see how it may have come across as ‘correcting’ you. Which was not my intent.

[sacred lintel]

Irongate, did you played Kena: Bridge of Spirits?) This game is similar to what players would like to see in Valheim. It's ironic that you lost to this game at The Game Awards 2021. Probably you dont like it. ha-ha. Kena and similar games had a features, witch is great to play, but Ashlands looks like complete different game, like one of clone of Dark Souls. Meh... this total trash and awful. Players told you many times, they want only simple chill rpg-adventure in fantasy random generated sandbox - that's all. Look: you travel to different pretty bioms (like in fairy tale), visit castles, woods, etc - and kicks heads of any mobs, and doin simple tasks. Is it so hard to understand, that you made fun not for you, but for casual players? From the start Valhem still looks like alpha test (and this is it), but you not workout with general problems: game feels empty, broken, mobs walks were they should not been, everything is crooked, low quality of indie game, etc. No one told you to make anything like Ashlands, Ph-Ph! No! This looks weird and alien to Vikings. You have to push buttons like psycho and overstrain oneself just for what? To kill trashy mobs? You think its fun? I can simply draw on a paper way better ideas. There was a many console games with fun mechanics for 30 years, literally. But you made so hells dumb content... I has no wish to play. I had a suspicion that Ashlands was made not by original team of Ironmace, but someone else. Pity, that someone price money more than game and throw it out, like a unwished child.

[upbeat drift]

I am.. confused by this statement.

I am even more confused after the edit.

[marsh sentinel]

They don't like Ashlands is all I'm getting.

That's 4 edits now. It's hard to keep up.

I'd like to remind everyone

VALHEIM IS A BRUTAL EXPLORATION AND SURVIVAL GAME FOR 1-10 PLAYERS SET IN A PROCEDURALLY-GENERATED WORLD INSPIRED BY NORSE MYTHOLOGY.

If you want the content to be "easier and more relaxed" why are you not turning combat down? There are settings that allow you to customize your world.

[wanton belfry]

Are there any working build importing mods for the Ashlands update? Thanks

[crimson inlet]

Might as well make our own deep north too right?

Since the solution for any bad game design is either world modifiers, mods, or just playing the game in a way that's unnatural

[proven dagger]

[bright coyote]

Is anyone else having an impossible time in the Ashlands with the limited inventory space? I feel like you have to go in with so many items to start with, and then there's soooo many items that drop in that biome I'm just **constantly **having to go home to unload.

I could be dumb though

[proven dagger]

What are you carrying with you that you find essential?
Maybe you can cut down on that?

[bright coyote]

3 foods, fire resist mead, healing mead, lingering stamina and eitr mead, 4 pieces of armor, belt, my 4 magic staffs, pickaxe.

Previously I was also carrying my hammer, crossbow, and bolts but I cut those. But I still feel overloaded all the time haha

[proven dagger]

For example if I play mage I go with this:
armor = 4, all staves (attack, protection and distraction) = 3, food = 3, potions = 3, portal materials = 5 and trinket = 1
That are 19 used slots and leaves me with 13 slots to fill.
If I decide to go do some mining or wood chopping I add the necessary tool and that bumps it to 20 and 12.

[bright coyote]

Ya but like there are 21+ crafting/cooking items you're looting, like often, while you're in the Ashlands

I never felt like there was a need to separate equipment from a backpack until now

Like I love all the different items, but only having 14 inventory spaces after all of my equipment feels painful.

And it's not fun having to go home every 10 minutes to unload

[crimson inlet]

Agree
Adding too many items each patch and never bothering with inventory

[glacial schooner]

Understandable haha, but that's why beach heads or forward bases are critical. Even in swamp I set up temp places and often only sail back with a full boat of ore.

[bright coyote]

Ya but either way, you're having to stop playing the game to go somewhere. Whether main base or a forward base to unload everything.

[proven dagger]

True but I tend to do dedicated runs and leave the items I don't need behind.
I do get that isn't for everyone and I sometimes also find it hard to leave things behind, certainly big piles of wood or stone.
So I do portal out and go back to base more frequently then I should.

[bright coyote]

It feels like unecessary time wasting when giving us a new item to upgrade the strength belt to give us more inventory space makes total sense at this point.

[crimson inlet]

They're adamant on not adding new inventory spaces

[bright coyote]

I have no problem leaving building materials on the ground, but I'm still overloaded haha

[crimson inlet]

But they keep adding items

[bright coyote]

They have been adamant about not doing a lot of things they have done. So we'll seee....

[crimson inlet]

Deep North patch
50+ new items!
Can't carry any

[spark canyon]

If it was just a few seperate slots to put your armor, cape and one utility (belt or wisplight)
it would already "add" 5 extra slots, which is enough imo

[glacial schooner]

Agreed, all depends on your play style! I enjoy having to strategize what I am bringing vs not or how to approach it given the constraints. Do I plan to portal back and forth or have some wood and get it later. Makes it feel more imerssive personally as you often need to plan for the adventure you have ahead, and you can't be prepared for everything. And it also makes having back up/other Vikings nicer!

To each their own though haha

[bright coyote]

No no no, like I am bringing basically the bare minimum into the biome and it's not enough. It's not about strategizing inventory anymore. There are TOO many items haha

Ashlands is by far the craziest biome difficulty wise so far. The solution for being overwhelmed in your inventory shouldn't be bringing less and less and less tools to survive that biome.

It makes no sense to not give us a way to upgrade our megingjord for more inventory space at this point in the game.

Like it's not as if I'm bringing equipment for all 3 combat styles and complaining about inventory space. haha

[fresh gorge]

being a mage is having little space to collect things 💀

[bright coyote]

Not really. Being a mage means what - having maybe 2 less inventory spaces?

[glacial schooner]

It's certainly more difficult to strategize what to bring or leave behind, but in regards to the inventory space I guess just agree to disagree! I definitely can see your frustration haha. Who knows what odin and his developers have planned, we can only fight the best we can and wait.

Also there is a suggestions area/suggestions discussion if you feel very passionate about it. I think it's been brought up a few times

[fresh gorge]

maybe its just me, I like having most of the staffs for the situations that arise

[crimson inlet]

I take all the staves with me to be honest

[bright coyote]

I bring all 4 with me as well. But you figure if you're melee you have at least 1 one-hander, shield, probably the atgeir, and a bow or crossbow

Also ammunition for the ranged weapon

[crimson inlet]

If I was a solo player, I'd barely have any space
We'd have to juggle items between each other in the middle of god knows what and still not take everything we want

[fresh gorge]

I have 7 staffs + a dagger

[bright coyote]

Oh okay, ya once I start unlocking more of the ashlands staff I probably won't continue bringing all the old ones as well

Other than the shielding one

[crimson inlet]

I had the crossbow and a blood slayer
Axe and pickaxe
All meads

And no, it's not challenging to put things in a box and call it "inventory management"

More items added should mean more inventory

[bright coyote]

Well what Beasty is saying is it's difficult to strategize how to setup your loadout in your inventory going into the Ashlands to try to keep as much open space as possible.

[fresh gorge]

I think there's also a case of too many good things everywhere in abundance (which I like)

I want all the berries, seeds, and gross stones

[bright coyote]

I guess it can act as a particular kind of fun for some people. And again, I agree to an extent. But it's less fun when the solution to the inventory problem is "bring less gear that you need to survive this already most difficult biome"

Like yaaay, so fun

[crimson inlet]

I had a lengthy conversation about inventory before the server wipe

People glorify it when it really is just an outdated system since pre-alpha or whatever

I don't get excited or impressed when I put a rock in a box and go out to adventure

And Ashlands?
Auto pick up off is the way to go

300 items on the ground and not sure which I want and which to ignore

[bright coyote]

Ya I don't know, like you just have to ask yourself what is the fun as the result of this aspect of the game. A degree of inventory management should exist so people aren't just bringing every piece of armor and weapon in the game with them everywhere. You SHOULD have to make some decisions in that regard.

But then we get to where we are now. Where you can bring 1 set of equipment for 1 combat style and the minimum consumables that come along with that, and your inventory is hopelessly overwhelmed at all times.

That is when it's too much

[sour sage]

a bag/backpack could be nice

[brazen moth]

anyone know what ring I put in the "ring in a box" for the jewelcrafting mod ?

[umbral fog]

someone in #mods-discussion might 🙂

[vivid field]

I just started using portals a lot more liberally -- taking consumables before leaving, and coming back to the portal before they wear off -- you get a few extra inventory slots which helps, although yes, your range is pretty limited compared to the previous biomes

[bright coyote]

Ya I was thinking about this. There's no point in bringing stacks of food when your rested buff lasts about as long as the food does. But even cutting that just wouldn't be enough.

[proven dagger]

Not even that, unless you have no bow as backup.

[proven dagger]

Yeah and setting up little bases all around to get rested bonus is tedious.

[zenith otter]

yahoo

[cursive elk]

... I was jesting about a Valheim board game, holy shit snacks!

[modest moth]

Instead of developing the game they are literally making a board game smh my head

[quasi garnet]

I saw some type of Valheim board game on Table Top Simulator, and I am so excited that there is a proper one coming out

[shy bloom]

I just hope its not another scam stuff

[modest moth]

Kinda curious that so many people want to collaborate with IG.

Even Terraria didn't get any of that until a decade after

[modest moth]

The fuck

[marsh sentinel]

What scam do you think we've had so far?

[modest moth]

Probably the game, for 20$ I've had like 800 hours of gaming...

It should be 801 instead.

Those devs man, I swear

[shy bloom]

The previous incident here? Or am i misremembering it for another server?

[marsh sentinel]

What?

You OK buddy?

[quasi garnet]

I mean, besides the Valheim plushies being really expensive, IDK if there has been any scams

[modest moth]

Plushies neither made nor sold by them

[soft estuary]

that's not a scam

[marsh sentinel]

They literally said it wasn't a scam.

[quasi garnet]

I am aware ^

[shy bloom]

Ok the wording is wrong, it was a hack not a scam.

[marsh sentinel]

What the fuck does the Discord hack have to do with a board game?

Sorry Smiffe, I know that just pinged you.

[shy bloom]

Its not about the board game, it was what was back then "announced"

[marsh sentinel]

Huh?

Honestly, you're making zero sense.

[red rover]

can somebody PLEASE tell me as to which bombaclaat dawg i am

[shy bloom]

You're probably not here when it happened then. No use talking to you. Bye. Topic end.

[marsh sentinel]

Mate, you've explained nothing. And I've been here since May 2021.

[red rover]

cheers derek mate nans just done a runner at aldi

[soft estuary]

What's a runner at aldi?

[quasi garnet]

Aldi is a German supermarket chain, and I would assume the runner would be someone going there quickly

[marsh sentinel]

Other way round. Doing a runner would be leaving in a hurry, usually to try and escape someone

[quasi garnet]

Ah okay. I wasn't very familiar with the lingo, but I was on the right track

[soft estuary]

thanks, that makes sense

also, Aldi is fantastic!

[umbral fog]

you mean "new version of valheim" (or was it a new valheim game? i dont remember)? thats the only thing i remember being posted by the hackers that you could be referencing

still nothing to to with a board game...

[drowsy imp]

I believe the messages sent by the raiders on the hack was a "new Valheim game" of sorts, yeah. Trying to get as many people to download a virus as they can.

[silk salmon]

what they get for doing it

[drowsy imp]

Oh, tons of things

Login info, session tokens, the whole nine yards

[silk salmon]

oh

[drowsy imp]

Total security nightmare~

Never run an exe from someone that you don't trust

Or from someone that you trust but was hacked

...just don't run executables from Discord in general, ever

[silk salmon]

i got trojan and worm 1

and it a nightmare

the worm one really fk up it send the link to other ppl that in my fb and it restart my phone

and a year later someone make a fb with my face as a profile and my other personal info

[simple flax]

whats the point of a valheim board game 💀

[red rover]

to play valheim
on a board

[fast trout]

• and win.

[umbral fog]

to have fun? whats the point of any game?

[red rover]

and win yeah

[simple flax]

ah right, with valheim being a completed game with an endgoal and all at the moment

arent spinoffs typically made after the base product is finished

i mean if its gonna be fun and somehow translate the enjoyment we get out of valheim then sure im all for a valheim board game

[marsh sentinel]

It's always had an end goal.

[simple flax]

yeah, ascend to valhalla after beating all of odin's enemies

with the big final boss being... uhh..

[marsh sentinel]

We don't know yet.

[simple flax]

yeah. we don't. so i'm just saying why not finish the base game before board gameifying it

strange priorities

[drowsy imp]

It's a collab with a third party company, not something that IG is developing themselves

[marsh sentinel]

When the dev team aren't making the board game what difference does it make?

[drowsy imp]

It will be interesting to see how they handle biomes tho, if this is to be released before DN

But there's very little info out currently except that it exists, so no use speculating

[hollow thicket]

Are there nerfs coming to the Ashlands?

[royal coral]

Please no. It's actually balanced if you just get into Flamemetal.

How about making it play smoothly? Or fixing the Cape glitch when standing on pillars and leviathans?

[modest moth]

So it begins...

The "won't fucking read and start making assumptions to spread misinformation" wars

[modest moth]

No, they will probably leave those changes in PTB for eternity

[hollow thicket]

Let’s hope so, I really like the spawn rates currently and I think people need to utilize the difficulty sliders, maybe adding a spawn rate slider would be a good middle ground?

[modest moth]

https://tenor.com/view/katena-sarcasm-tbv-sarcasm-eyeglasses-gif-16424238

[hollow thicket]

I play this game solo on hard and I can complete this game alone.

[modest moth]

If they're there in ptb, they will be there in live

Unless, of course, they do think of a better way to tweak them that don't involve just number changes

Which I very, very highly doubt

[hollow thicket]

I don’t understand how that all works, I hope it doesn’t come to live. I see people complaining about it but then they play the game very poorly. I’ve had games ruined for me due to these type of players, hoping Valheim won’t be the case.

People don’t change difficulty then want to be super stubborn and it’s their way or no way, despite there being options already in place to make people’s experiences smoother.

https://www.reddit.com/r/valheim/s/nMxRiPWobM

I mean this is just sad if this is what is to come.

[modest moth]

Yup, it's worse to have literal options to make the game easier and those people prefer not to use them.

I'm completely sure many of them are the same who asked for those modifiers... Just to forget about them.

It's silly

This whole thing should tell you how the average valheim player is like...

Imagine being outsmarted by an AI this simple

[hollow thicket]

I mean the theme was undead army and a major battle with raids and all that, why would we go from this awesome theme with major battles to fighting bread crumbs??

Like I can do this solo on hard, then people be going into the Ashlands with iron armor and be like “game too hard”

The devs want this game to be a challenge and mistlands/ashlands really shows that. I’m really just hoping they don’t succumb to people crying.

[sterile thicket]

the feeling of achievement after the struggle is what im here for

crazy good progression

[tulip ferry]

At least Ashlands is a real challenge unlike Mistlands which was and still is annoying and a chore to play through

[hollow thicket]

Think that’s subjective cause mistlands is still my favorite part but I can see why you’d think that

Some parts of mistlands are rough

[modest moth]

My first landing and finally managing to secure the beach after a long struggle is a precious memory of mine.

I hope that still remains with the nerfs

I was playing alone and still felt like all-out war

[tulip ferry]

The thing about Mistlands is not the combat or mobs, it's the annoying ass terrain

There's no challenge or interactive gameplay in spamming jump button

[obsidian creek]

probably not, the nerfs are crazy, cutting spawn rates in half, some by even more, reducing spawn amounts… they’re basically removing the entire gimmick of the biome

[modest moth]

There are more ways to dynamically "nerf" the spawns without having to change numbers and call it a day...

I only wish they did them but I doubt it

[hollow thicket]

Well I’m just going to jump ship at this point. Seen the official public test patch notes and it’s gonna happen (obviously).

Tired of these games being ruined for me because targeted audience are people that have the attention span of a walnut.

Hope you people who were calling for nerfs enjoy weenie hut Jr’s valheim and I’m just gonna move on from valheim.

This whole debacle has just killed my want to play this game, still tired of the whole mistlands hater crowd.

[modest moth]

You got it backwards.

Their target audience are the people who want difficulty and a brutal survival game...

But they're choosing to please the ones that do NOT belong to that target audience

And those same people get offended because you tell them that.

As if you're explicitly insulting them and telling them they suck or something

"You know, maybe the game isn't for y-"

"Wtf is your problem???? These gatekeepers keep ruining the game smh I want the game to adapt to me and I want it now stop defending their decisions that I specifically disagree with"

[hollow thicket]

Seeing people on Reddit mock the crowd of people who didn’t want this nerf and telling them to “turn up the difficulty slider”

Which is so ironic cause they wouldn’t listen to the people who told them to do that in the first place. Just bad state of community and devs appealing to the wrong crowd. Both those aspects tell me what I need to know for the future of this game, I’m done.

[tulip ferry]

Game devs most common mistake is listening to the Reddit hivemind

[stiff jungle]

ANyone know a mod that will put away all items in your inventory into nearby chesrts for Ashlands?

[tardy vale]

it's not that 😄

when enough people give us valid feedback and reasons. we listen

[hollow thicket]

I use Reddit but yes I hate Reddit. The stereotypes about Redditors is very much true.

[hollow thicket]

How about the other side giving feedback and telling you guys it’s not a good change, are we not valid?

[tardy vale]

you are also valid

alot of people like the tough combat

[hollow thicket]

So why no middle ground and having a spawn slider?

[tulip ferry]

I can somehow agree to toning down the spawn rates but removing the flametal spire mechanic was a bit too much lol

[tardy vale]

but that's why it's in the PTB and not live version

since we want feedback

[hollow thicket]

I am upset, but I suppose I will give it a chance and see what the final decision for nerfs will be. I just wish devs would stick with their guns and keep the difficulty

[random phoenix]

never knew there is a secret base under the queen spawn location. nice detail 💯

[modest moth]

But there are plenty of people who did give you guys good feedback on how to handle the spawns other than just changing the numbers

The rates can be nerfed in a more dynamic way.

Such as fortresses reducing them in their vicinity

[tidal sand]

This is a good idea

[sharp stone]

what? what got removed?

[umbral fog]

in current ptb the sinking of flametal spires is removed

[covert cargo]

i am glad this change only affects ptb i still have time to finish my playthrough pre-nerfed. not playing again if this gets pushed to live. 🤣

[tidal sand]

There's a few fairly gung-ho views going around. Honesty, I think they should just make it a world mod - sinks or doesn't. Apply it to leviathans too. That solves it for everyone

[sharp stone]

ALL OF THEM?

[umbral fog]

would be a bit weird if only one of them didnt sink wouldnt it?

[sharp stone]

that's like the main flametal resource

[marsh sentinel]

Still is.

[sharp stone]

I mean, forts have some but the spires are way more fun

[umbral fog]

but how does that they dont sink anymore change that they are main source of flametal?

[tall siren]

mining flamemetal would be fine if it didnt glitch your character out into thinking its falling

preventing you from standing on it

[sharp stone]

oh, so they still exist they just DON'T sink?

[tall siren]

feather cape, go to the top. easy, but its buggy as hell.

[umbral fog]

you might want to read my first message again 😉

[sharp stone]

mix messages...
So in ptb the flametal spires are completely gone?

[umbral fog]

no, they removed the sinking mechanic in it

[sharp stone]

...

so they just don't sink...that's not too bad

I mean I got 30-35 each time anyway

[umbral fog]

"in current ptb the SINKING OF flametal spires is removed"

[sharp stone]

let me help you. "in the current ptb the sinking mechanic of the flametal spires, has been removed so they no longer sink"

[tulip ferry]

Something to sink about haha

[sharp stone]

I don't mind either way, to sink or not to sink
that is the question

I want more dungeons

[royal coral]

If the Flamemetal doesn't sink, add another mechanic that tries to knock players off, like more active lava activity or Valkyrie attacks or something.

[crimson inlet]

No one minds difficulty if done right

Ever played Castlevania 3?

[hexed drift]

see fromsoft games for another example

[crimson inlet]

Castlevania 3 is hard af for the wrong reasons
Fromsoft games are difficult but you have all the right tools

Castlevania 3 difficulty was tuned up so much
Yet the biggest problem was getting knocked into pits
Bad game design

[hollow thicket]

This is not the case here, the theme is to be swarmed from an undead army, anyone can drop the slider down a notch and the difficulty is not bad

[sharp stone]

if you're safe and don't over mine, the sinking flametal is not that difficult
I would prefer it stayed.

[crimson inlet]

Mining hardly matters
You get tons of flametal

It's the combat itself

[hollow thicket]

I can agree some things could use a tweek but cutting the number of mobs spawning makes the Ashlands feel barren and boring.

[crimson inlet]

The theme is incredible 11/10

The gameplay is subpar compared to other biomes

[hollow thicket]

It’s like playing in the meadows with tougher enemies

[sharp stone]

I only got mobbed a few times with flametal mining, its not too bad

[hexed drift]

the problem with combat difficulty is that it is extremely subjective

and yes, you can objectively quantify enemy strength to a very large degree

[sharp stone]

I think if you clear out an area fort and caves, mining flametal is way safer

[crimson inlet]

Anything can be overcome..d

[hollow thicket]

And I agree, I’m already on the cuffs of dropping this game. Between what happened with the mistlands, and now this. I don’t have faith for the far lands.

[sharp stone]

I cleared a fort and surrounding caves and spawners and there were 6 flametal spires and I never got mobbed once

[crimson inlet]

For me, Ashlands was cheeselands

Apply all your knowledge of cheese

And it seems to be the majority of the "tips" for ashlands

[hexed drift]

i was enjoying my trip... mostly
that being said im also a guy who loves skill checking enemies until he stops getting hit

Monster Hunter and Fromsoft veteran and all...

[crimson inlet]

1. Run past everything
2. Jump over weird rocks that some mobs have trouble with
3. Have a log on the ground to trick enemies
4. Don't fight too many
5. Log out for safety

[crimson inlet]

Fun difficulty
Ashlands difficulty was kinda random

[umbral fog]

entirely unnecesseary but it works

[crimson inlet]

I enjoyed all these games

To sum it up perfectly
Ashlands is unfair
And the solution is to play unfairly

Askvins
I keep walking circles around my vines or just spam jump

[hexed drift]

tbf, if you arent some weird junkie like me then you will have to get the hard cheddar

which isnt ideal

[crimson inlet]

I love Mario 64
But I wouldn't want to beat it with 50 stars you know what I mean

[hexed drift]

1-star cheese lets go xd

[crimson inlet]

Ashlands difficulty needs to make sense

I don't know even what an honest to God playthrough in Ashlands looks like

[hexed drift]

which is, again, subjective
but the ashlands arent what id have done either tbh

[crimson inlet]

Like a regular joe with a sword walking there

[royal coral]

Ashlands is the 7th biome. It's the 7th layer of hell. It really feels beyond endgame and that's a good thing.
Plains was the endgame. Mistlands was the elite endgame. This is hell world.
Deep North should feel like playing Rimworld tundra naked start.

[crimson inlet]

If the difficulty ramps up like that
Deep North will be like doing Dark souls 1 dlc with Skyrim controls

[royal coral]

I wanna play a game that most people quit before getting to the end, unless they turn on Game Reviewer mode.

[hexed drift]

thats cursed

[hexed drift]

so you play most games? cuz most people dont finish their games

[royal coral]

The last 3 games I finished were Borederlands, Dark Souls, and Titanfall 2.

[hexed drift]

good games

[royal coral]

I quit Dark Souls for six years before finishing it.

[crimson inlet]

Elden ring was my first souls game
After I beat it, I did a whole marathon of dark souls 1> dark souls 3 > sekiro> dark souls 2

I enjoyed almost every minute of it

(except that one room with the demon and two dogs in ds1, that was bs)

[hexed drift]

easy to do once you know what you are doing
but ye, you will die on the first run most likely

[crimson inlet]

I died probably 12 times in that room
I had just come from elden ring by then

[hexed drift]

for me it was DS 3 -> ER -> DS 1 -> DS 2

[crimson inlet]

The luxuries that I got used to weren't there

Ds2 very underrated
I had lots of fun there

Everyone told me to skip it

But whenever you died in these games
You usually think, ah I can do that better
You have all the tools

[hexed drift]

its the worst dark souls game
but the worst dark souls game is still a 9/10 lmao

[crimson inlet]

Ashlands was very random

[royal coral]

THIS. Died just now in Ashlands because I was wailing on a heavy enemy without blocking, no Bonemass. I deserved it.

[crimson inlet]

Tip no#6: bonemass
Always have on to win at the videogame

[royal coral]

||I'm gonna just face tank this 1-star Morgan. Yep.||

[crimson inlet]

Bonemass is seriously not fun
We cycle through them

[hexed drift]

bonemass is completely and utterly broken

[crimson inlet]

The whole playthrough I keep hearing
"Is your bonemass ready yet?"
-no, but I have x has it ready soon

[royal coral]

I would say Bonemass needs the nerf and damage types should be tweaked.

[crimson inlet]

As a mage, I never even used queen

[hexed drift]

resists in general need a rework

[crimson inlet]

All these things need to be considered for "difficulty"

[hexed drift]

the added effective hp are just waaaay too high
and at the same time you get absolutely trashed by elemental dmg if you dont have the right resist at hand

see poison in the samp, kekw

[crimson inlet]

I wonder though
Out of all x million players
How many have played ashlands

[hexed drift]

5% (or so)

[crimson inlet]

The 95% when they play again will get their asses kicked so hard

The 5% is gonna be more or less the "fans"

[hexed drift]

most of them wont come back
thats just how games work

[crimson inlet]

Like me n you

[hexed drift]

im pretty sure the Elden Ring dlc, which release on friday btw, will also only be bought and played by ~20% of the Elden Ring players

[royal coral]

MFW I try to wail on some Lox with my ||Primal Axes|| and barely tickle them.

[crimson inlet]

Glad I finished valheim

I'll need to make room in schedule for elden dlc

[hexed drift]

parry them and they die in seconds

[hexed drift]

i get out of work early on friday and ill start the download in the morning

(also ill order pizza from a nearby restaurant which i can fetch before going home lmao)

[crimson inlet]

Quite the plan
I'll copy that

[hexed drift]

time to get my grabbers on that light greatsword

my character may be a sage build but i wont miss my chance for a stylish melee

[pulsar hawk]

When is the board available for purchase or is it smth online @tardy vale

[unique berry]

@tardy vale, what does lox meat taste like?

[tardy vale]

like partially lizard like

with a wild flavour

[tardy vale]

don't really know. will be posted in the #news later

[zealous anchor]

dont know what a lizard tastes like also, i dont believe ive ever eaten warthogs

[hexed drift]

think chicken

[zealous anchor]

you practically give chicken its taste though

[hexed drift]

yes, as we do with most meat

pork and beef have a stronger innate taste than chicken tho

[zealous anchor]

well no, most of the none chicken meat ive eaten raw (if i could) had a taste

[hexed drift]

and now add even a tiny amount of salt and you will notice that the difference is pretty large

[zealous anchor]

thats pretty wierd thing to say now that im reading it

[unique berry]

interesting

[zealous anchor]

im just now thinking of chicken with the wild flavor of a eland (cant think of its other name)

[unique berry]

well, going by the appearance i think a dish that is a mix of alligator and beef may be a similar flavour

[pallid remnant]

why not?

[full inlet]

whenll the ptb be available? and can i use my existing save on it?

[umbral fog]

yes you will be able to use existing save on it, and we dont know when it will come to live branch, but as new ptb patch came out today i will say at least a week probably more

[full inlet]

i see, ty

[cinder violet]

Friendly message for all.
Do not build big bases if you do not have free build mode on.
Do not waste your time grinding building mats.
THere is literally no gain in brainlessly farming.
It can be fun for some if you don't find it fun. Do no grind.
There is enough access grind in this game, avoid useless grind.
Grind does not increase the fun in a game only the time.

Time is better spent on building instead of grinding

[gloomy rock]

Earning my castle is half the fun

[modest moth]

Germ, a-are you telling me that you...

Leans in to whisper

Like something that others don't which means what people find fun is completely subjective and any statement regarding "do something because not doing it fucking sucks" is utterly irrelevant because that is 100% a personal opinion that absolutely does NOT reflect the actual universal view on the features of the game which is proven by the fact that, like you, others also like the grind and that "grind no fun" is also a subjective opinion that's irrelevant to tell others because not everyone feels the same?

[misty bison]

@worn finch Hello, I have a question for a moderator.

[dull prawn]

I hate the swamps. That's all I came here to say.

[misty bison]

swamps be icky

[gusty hazel]

Swamps become vastly more enjoyable when you build up in the trees

[cinder violet]

You do not earn the castle by grind, this is an illusion. All you are doing is spending time, there is nothing earned there.
It is not like it is hard to get, and you feel the "earned" when spending days and ddays building something big anyway. Feeling is the same without the drag.

There is nothing respectable about wasting time. The time you dont waste collecting ressources that are simple to get is time you can invest in creativity.

I personally made a 8 story building that is larger than the queen area, all in stone/marble/beam, I would hate myself for wasting time farming that ressources and extend the time by 2 more weeks instead of just 1 week and 100H played.

A lot of the aspect of this game is meant to not be abused ( like a castel at every island) but when doing big project it is foolish to keep it

I think what you earned is the satisfaction of having built a castle, not the dumb farm that is behind.

I do not think anyone respects a grind.

[gusty hazel]

While I don't like grinding a ton in games either, its silly to think that people who enjoy a grind simply dont exist - they absolutely exist, and its just another way to play.

[cinder violet]

I understand some feel this way, I did not say they do not exist. I think the grind* reward feel is an illusion.

this comes from a psychology book on video games.

Basically, needed 1000 wood for example for something you actually WANT to build, is a chore.
As you complete the chore you get closer to your goal, that part is exciting, not the chore itself.

The idea that you have all you need to finally start. When something can be entirelly skipped and have still the same feeling.

It is called player choice making illusion. When you think you do progress or have a choice but you are not, you do not have a choice.

Another example is: You can choose to play with or without consuming food. Food gives such a massive advantage, that going out without is simply a loss and waste of time. So you decide to make food.
In reality, you have no choice, if you want to have some half-decent fun, you MUST eat the food.

These are an example of those game designs that feel like it is rewarding but truly it is forced.

[mellow needle]

Bro just let people enjoy their game

[cinder violet]

I do let people to what they want. I am offering a better way to enjoy it imo. No one is forced.
Being educated on ones own ignorance is not a bad thing.

[gusty hazel]

And some people just got the tism and enjoy grinding for the take of grinding. And others just like grinding regardless of their mental state.

You're looking into it far deeper than you need to

[cinder violet]

We were talking about grinding for a building/caste/big base.
If you like to chop wood endlessly that is anmother conversation lol.

Yes some poeple just like choppiung wood, or mining a hole in a rock, i do enjoy that too.

[cinder violet]

I just share some gaming psychology.
It is theory

[gusty hazel]

Seems rather limited as a theory then, as it doesn't take into account a variety of preferences.

[cinder violet]

Allowing people to see past what they fooled themselves into, i think that is helpful. no one forcing htem

[gusty hazel]

Thats just your opinion, man

[cinder violet]

It actually does. I even mentioned it. It is also more than what I just said/.

[cinder violet]

Not really an opinion

I think history makes it factual 😄

that is My opp

[gusty hazel]

People with strong opinions like to state them as facts, but they just dig a deeper hole for themselves.

[cinder violet]

No

[gusty hazel]

Gacha games are proof that people will grind for even the most miniscule reward, because in the end its about the goal. If someone's goal is to build a big castle by grinding a ton of resources out, and they enjoy the process of grinding said resources at the same time - thats just the way they like to play

[cinder violet]

sorry, I do not think you understood my point I made before.
I got that point and I added to it.
Do you understand the concept of illusion ?

Have you ever looked into, "game psychology"

Fallacies even, can be learned and extended into games

[gusty hazel]

I'm familiar enough with the concept, I just don't really enjoy talking to someone coming off as a pretentious know-it-all when the truth of the matter is more nuanced than what they present. The Gaming psychology field isn't nearly as robust as you present it as

[modest moth]

So being rewarded from your own hardwork is an illusion.

Makes sense

[cinder violet]

I tried to be simple, I did not act pretentious, I feel you are projecting yourself trying to shut me down by oversimplifying it.
I presented an argument and actual sources for it.

[gusty hazel]

I haven't seen a single source

[cinder violet]

No, the player decision-making illusion.

If people want to have an actual intellectual discussion about it, we can.
If people prefer to mock something they do not understand, then better to stay quiet imo 😄

[cinder violet]

Player making decision, its a book, it was teh reference i mentioned.
Maybe reading all the text before replying helps.

It is important to understand what the SPEAKER says before replying to the SPEAKER

Replying with ones own understanding becomes irrelevant if not related to what the speaker meant

[modest moth]

Yet I still see you speak...

Ironic

[cinder violet]

Well yes, I am a kind person 🙂

The irony is you thinking I dont know anything and not staying quiet just to say " ironic" no offense

[gusty hazel]

So one dude writes a book and suddenly he speaks for the entirety of the field for Gaming Psychology? He's a professor at University of Orlando no less

[cinder violet]

No, its ressearch from hundreds of psychologist and game developer.
It is not smart to randomly assume stuff

[cinder violet]

Also, i simply mentioned that for 1 single example from the book.
THe book goes in depth about other aspect of making decisions.
It does not diminish the farming part, but grinding does

BY DEFFINITION grinding is not good, its counterpart is FARMING, which is the same thing but actually rewarding.
Grinding by definition is a chore not meant to be liked.
Just clarigying cemantics.
Maybe people refer to farming when they enjoy gatherin ressources.
But farming in itself can be abused as well from designers

Look man, I understand you're passionate about this but I don't see the point in continuing this. Nothing you say here is going to change IG's approach to this game (there's already resource rate modifiers + hammer mode), I doubt anyone really cares about what you think about the way they play, and frankly I don't have the energy for this back and forth. Agree to disagree

[cinder violet]

I am just talking as sharing.
No need to assume what I say only matter to me. There are more people than you think agreeing with this.
These texts are not meant for IG to improve. Tho they could if they want.
I f you do not have the energy, they do not, I am not forcing you and disagreeing with me just for the sake of disagreeing because you dont like what I said, to say its not.
OK.

Just enjoy the game, no one is forcing your hand here. Sorry you feel exhausted fromn having to find the answers to reply to me

I never meant ot force you to speak or reply to me. many others can

I dont want to force knowledge on people who dont want it

I'm curious, where are you from?

woaw

🤷‍♂️

[cinder violet]

No please do not 😄

[gusty hazel]

I ask because you seem to lack tact when speaking in the English language. You may not perceive that you come off as rude, but I'm afraid you very much exude this energy in the way you speak. The length of your responses and your general attitude is what drains my energy - I don't feel the need to be "educated" by anyone who presents themselves in such a way, whether you intended to exude this aura or not, it remains and that's likely why people have blocked you. Good luck with your beliefs

[cinder violet]

Hum, sure. There is no need to ignorantly assume more, if you are done you are done.
I am sorry you felt I wanted to "educate" you in particular. Knowledge is something that educates everyone and education is not a great thing and should be welcomed. Educating one self on others people's view without trying to spit on it on every occasion is a much better way to communicate.

ps: the irony of your "tact"

Sending them to the best place to get help is pedantic? That's a new one.

[fresh bloom]

It's so impersonal

It's about wording and presentation, not about the act itself

[marsh sentinel]

Ok?

[crimson inlet]

On the nose
I agree 100% and that's what people really do

Like what i wrote here before

Building costs are still out of touch and no one really builds using some of the items because they're sinfully "expensive"
Expensive*: waste a lot of time getting

I've built at the height limit with build cost
Took me countless hours to gather the materials
Not to mention that you can only carry 300/450kg which is enough for a few build pieces until you have to restock
Which is the same when gathering them
Iron poles should have been using a new material crafted out of iron
Dvergr walls are still 8iron8yggwood which literally no one builds
Spiral stairs cost 5 yggdrasil wood and copper, amazing
All stone pieces cost like 6-12 stone?
Tar is hard to keep track of

I never tried building with grausten, it's probably fine but you'll never pick it up randomly because your inventory is too clogged to bother with it

And then there's the delicious flametal gate that costs a whopping 16 flametal

Half the gate* is 16flametal my bad
It costs 32

Yeah that is not the ovens that need optimization that is just an excessive amount of ovens.

Hey all! Just heard about the Board Game announcement and CAN'T WAIT! 🤩

https://gamefound.com/en/projects/mood-publishing/valheim-the-board-game

[dense abyss]

I have a meta-suggestion for the discord...

There are enough "looking for players" inquiries in the chat/help/channels-not-looking-for-players that I think #1024264966712340510 might need renaming OR an even better idea is creating a header of Multiplayer (there's a better name I just can't think of it right now) similar to the General/Valheim/Help Channels section with a channel dedicated to people advertising servers and a channel dedicated to ... singles ads, for lack of a better term.

I think folks would have an easier time finding what they're looking for.

[untold night]

The issue is not that it's unclear, it's that folks are not looking, period.

[vivid field]

while I agree many people are simply not looking, I also agree not everyone is familiar with the "lfg" acronym and it could easily be made much more clearly labeled

[untold night]

True. Maybe "Groups and Servers" or something like that.

[vivid field]

"looking for players" is what I'd name it, personally

[tardy vale]

people don't read. most of them just join and post in first channel they end up in 😦

[flat snow]

Am always building my base in medows where do u guys build and why

[zealous anchor]

black forest islands cause thats what i found after unlocking portals

[flat snow]

How dose that work when the blue boys come over tea 🤣🤣

[zealous anchor]

pretty well cause i get free fishing bait, hides and gold

[grave cove]

can 2 star mobs in ashlands spawn during day time?

[modest moth]

Some

[sharp stone]

Ashlands is the first biome where I don't really feel like building a base. It's like hell!
I mean the swamp is pretty gloomy every other biome has a chill place to build a base.

[hexed drift]

once you have bronze gear trolls are kinda a non-factor

problem with ashlands bases is more that you cant fortify them to invincibility

[flat snow]

I was thinking about the snow biome

But might go for the plains

[hexed drift]

difficult to build large bases due to geography but it isnt so bad
plains offer a lot of space

[final path]

.... I have a base in every biome but the swamp proper (it's on the border with BF). My main house and fancy base is an artificial island I built off the coast of the Plains though

[flat snow]

I have a small hut at the moment but i want to build a big longhouse or castle

[marsh sentinel]

Kinda the point.

[hexed drift]

eh, if you find a large enough flat area it could work out

but: you kinda want to build your fortress near an ocean or river for easy ore transport

[final path]

Best mountain build sites are the large stone ruins. Break them down with a stonecutter and you have a huge flat area

[flat snow]

Yh i made that mistake before doing cart runs eveyday

[strange musk]

And that would be equivalent to the root harnesk with fire resist?

[proven dagger]

Correct.

[vivid field]

read what the message says, lol

but, I'll take that as a personal win for a successful channel name suggestion 🙂

[marsh sentinel]

We could name it CLICK HERE IF YOU WANT TO JOIN A SERVER and people will still fail to click on it.

[vivid field]

ofc -- no solution will be perfect, cause like smiffe mentioned people literally don't read, they just start asking in the default channel

I'm just saying, I think it's slightly more clear and direct than the current name, and might get just a few more people to the right place

[marsh sentinel]

Maybe.

[vivid field]

not a big deal either way

[finite mortar]

I find "servers and looking for groups", even if abbreviated, to be fairly straight forward but also agree that people don't always read. I know I have been guilty of that on rare occasions. I do try to steer people to the right area if I do see them asking in the general channel for something that is covered with a specific channel.

and now I realize I am postong on a topic almost 3 hours old...

[zealous anchor]

and now you realize you dont pay attention to time when you having something to say (just like me)

Is it a scam or what?

and idk much about steam market system and does the dev really receive the 10% of money when u sold the item?

To be clear I didn't play it

i just want to know why ppl said it a scam when it free

is it like nft

And kinda didn't care
But maybe I'll read more

[silk salmon]

yeah same

[proven dagger]

Morgen gjall.

[silk salmon]

ok so I looking into it more deeply and the app is a totally scam cause most of the rare items is in the dev inventory ( we can see in jauwn video ) and when ppl bought the rare banana their bought it from the dev. Also when we sell item on steam the dev do get 10% of the cut. so this is an crypto/NFT app ( not game ).

and ppl waste 3hr just to get 0.03$. why ppl why? u can't even get the stupid rare fking banana

[tardy vale]

what you talking about? 🤔

good evening to you then sir 😄

[silk salmon]

Ohh I forgot about the cut in 0.03$ u selling. So u got 0.01$, steam get 0.01$ and dev got 0.01$

0.01$ really help the electricity bill in the 3hr

[dapper hedge]

every month, when i pay my 200€uro for electricity, i ask myself what i still have to pay at the end of the year. Welcome to Germany

+moin everyone

the computer is the centre of my life, work and leisure, so it's all too late anyway, isn't it ? ^^

[silk salmon]

That more than my family bill. I'm from asia and my parent open a laundry business (I'm still live with my parent) and our highest electricity bill is around 115$

[dapper hedge]

i think you have to calculate this as a percentage of the average earnings of the household, for us that would be "only 17.5% per month"

(if you paid that in china, you would already be paying over 30% of your monthly income)

[silk salmon]

No china

And it might be 30% or 40% cause my family is big

[spark thunder]

Apparently there are updates to Ashlands being tested right now, in the public beta...

[marsh sentinel]

Imagine thinking the devs have anything to do with the board game.

[outer chasm]

Imagine to think the board game production is free - dumdum

** LavaBlob: Spawn interval increased from 200 to 260

• Flametal spires will no longer submerge when mined
• Voltures no longer make walking sounds when flying"

Making Ashlands todler prrof aswell i see - Irongate is submerging 😦

They lost total control of what the players want and needs - they are afraid of holding meetings in the office - so they don't really speak together

That statement is just weird to be fair

[marsh sentinel]

Except that that would affect the entire game when people only had issues with Ashlands. And please be aware, this is only in testing. It could still change.

[fringe minnow]

Hello everyone, 824.5 hours into the game, some of those hours multiplayer, some singleplayer. I find Valheim challenging at times, soothing at times, and always rewarding. This is my first time here on Valheim Discord so I want to say hello and share that I look forward to seeing the discussion surrounding this great game.

[modest moth]

Which still has 0 relevance to videogame developers having anything to do with a board game that's literally stated to be made by a completely different company

[outer chasm]

You guys have a hard time understanding economics

[umbral fog]

welcome in 😄 hope you will enjoy it here

[modest moth]

You have a hard time simply comprehending what you read

Guess which one is a more basic skill

[outer chasm]

Well aren't you just a rude bean - are board games developed for free may i ask?

[modest moth]

Nope...

Which is why the completely separate company would have to worry about that while IG keeps developing the game

I'm certain I will lol at the next statement

[outer chasm]

So the ALLOCATION of FUNDS towards a BOARD GAME PRODUCTION is wildly unappropriate when the game is in a faulty state - and i have PM proof from not 1 but 2 of the dev's saying that "They dont want more workers since it leads to more meetings" when they clearly need a unified direction - belly up is the technical term i believe

Fund the dev team - add more devs - stop making vanity products for a small profit gain.

[umbral fog]

this argument again... --->#valheim-chat message

[modest moth]

"IG itself is funding the whole project"

Source: Trust me bruh, I literally talked to Dvoid himself and he told me. I'm serious!!1!1

[drowsy imp]

Simmer down, y'all

[modest moth]

On it already

[outer chasm]

So a 2% profit gain over 3 years is better than getting a red thread for the dev team - that's illogical - the game should ALWAYS be FIRST priority

[drowsy imp]

The board game is being developed entirely by Mood Publishing, so no game dev resources are being spent on it. Iron Gate themselves are only working on the game itself.

[outer chasm]

ECONOMICS - are you all underaged mods? this is literal BASIC economis!!

[oblique plover]

don't you dare talking like that to Scarlet!

[outer chasm]

and on the 32th point - board games are NOT profitable, not even CLOSE to profitable -so unless it's a MASSIVE markup on price, the 2% profit margin over 2 years is WILDLY over estimated

[silk salmon]

Why do we care about a boardgame

[outer chasm]

I care about the game VAlheim and how the funds are used from the dev team Irongate

and it seems they are being extremely frivolous with their money.

which is and will hurt the game Valheim in the long run

[modest moth]

We don't, but I've come to terms with the fact that people LOVE to find reasons to whine about, like a hobby.

Doesn't mean it's less annoying tho

[drowsy imp]

Considering the site that the board game's campaign is in is a crowdfunding platform, that's probably how they're funding some of the development costs for it. It won't be entirely out of IG's pockets.

[modest moth]

Bold of you to assume that one even dared to read and research properly before spitting nonsense lol

[umbral fog]

that is what i though, but maybe we dont understand economics enough 🙂

[outer chasm]

Seems like you're just blatently defending what you clearly don't understand., RIP common sense

[late gate]

To be fair, chances are that the third party that is developing the board game simply contractually licensed the rights to make said board game, leading to an injection of cash for the devs. I really doubt that they're spending any studio funds to create this thing.

Valheim is a hot IP, it has value, therefore a boardgame developer would certainly be motivated to spend money in order to license the rights to produce a game and slap the "Valheim" name on it.

Thus, for all the very same reasons that you guys seem to be deriding the devs for relative to this board game, it in-fact is ultimately a very good thing for Iron Gate and the video game that they are creating

Idk, did they announce that it was or something? I didn't actually read the article, just saw the headline

oh, mayb...

yeah that'd change my opinion a bit if so

should have just sold the rights to Fantasy Flight Games or another big board-game producer. Missed opportunity, lol

@IronGateGamesStudio hire me as counsel. I'll help with these kinda things, haha xD

[crimson inlet]

Surprised this wasn't even done in PTB before release

Too bad we finished ashlands with the bad spawn rates

[silk salmon]

And if he care about dev spending money why not talk with dev instead

[late gate]

sooo many acronyms 😦

DRG?

[outer chasm]

I wouldn't blame you for believe that's how it works but it isn't - Being a boardgame dev you rely on sponsor money to make games from devs like irongate - it's a losing profit game to dev board games, so you gotta get funding from somewhere. and buying into that market for anything more than a PR stunt is a horrible misapropriation of time and funds

[late gate]

I'm not familiar with this description of the board game industry. I can, however, cite to the revenue earned by a major board game developer (FFG, the company that I mentioned above). According to Zippia.com, FFG earned an estimated $7.5m USD in 2023, which amounts to $117,188 per employee of the company.
(https://www.zippia.com/fantasy-flight-games-careers-1141608/revenue/)

This seems to imply that producing board games can in fact be quite a profitable venture. As an avid board gamer myself, I can certainly say that the industry appears to be thriving, with many new entrees into the market by a large variety of producers

[outer chasm]

im not familliar with your income - but i can cite the income of Elon Musk - what is that statement?

[late gate]

I am simply saying that I am unfamiliar with your description of the board game industry, so let me cite to you some statistics relative to said board gaming industry

I believe the statement to be pretty clear and direct, no?

Sounds like i'm refuting your assessment of board games as a "net loss venture" and providing evidence to back up my claim

[outer chasm]

So because the top 1% is marginally profitable you believe the remaining 99% to be aswell? following your logic - yes

[late gate]

I don't really care to spend time lookiing up financial metrics for more companies. Hence, I mentioned that from my perspective as an avid board-gamer, the industry certainly appears to be thriving. FFG is a great example of this, however, there are many more prolific board game developers out there, all of which are regularly releasing new titles

[late gate]

Do you have any statistics backing up your claim that all board-game development is a losing venture? Seems like a pretty wild assumption

[crimson inlet]

Me consumer
Me no care who wins or loses
Me buy or no buy
Be like me

[late gate]

according to Fortune Business Insights:
North America Board Games Market Size:
2022: $4.85 billion USD
2023: $5.39 billion USD
(https://www.fortunebusinessinsights.com/board-games-market-104972)

looks like a booming industry to me, @outer chasm

[outer chasm]

Take the 4 biggest board game manufactuers and you have over 90% of that revenue - and if you look further down the list, you'll see a staggering amount of deficit from smaller companies - your argument is invalid

[late gate]

idk, FFG earned a staggeringly low proportion of that 5.39 billion in NA alone (I think EU market size is even larger). Seems like they're just a small fish in the pond

[late gate]

back up your claim with stats, else they're just random opinions

[outer chasm]

and over 90% of that revenue is from reselling flagships - not manufactured new games - so again, point invalid

[late gate]

what is your source for these claims?

[marsh sentinel]

I still don't see the relevance of a product being developed entirely by a third party company.

[outer chasm]

https://www.macrotrends.net/stocks/charts/HAS/hasbro/revenue#:~:text=Hasbro revenue for the twelve,a 17.47%25 increase from 2020.

🤷🏼‍♀️ I’m not sure what i shouldnt try here? Or what your comment means tbh.

[fringe minnow]

I recently started a new playthrough after defeating the queen and have death penalty slider at casual this run. I do care about my skill levels and losing 5 on each skill just because I suck at the game isn't the type of challenge I'm looking for.

[zealous anchor]

what % is the skill loss? 5% but then yould only lose 5 skill points if they are at 100

[unreal zodiac]

going from level 100 to level 95 is hours and hours of skill lose

5% skill lose on death is the default

loss*

[marsh sentinel]

It's not that long, really. And at that level you're not dying very often.

[unreal zodiac]

i agree youre probably not but man if you do lol

[zealous anchor]

so another case of natural selection but in valheim

[unreal zodiac]

I have 543 hours in Valheim according to steam. I was never concerned about skills until i recently saw what the bonus's are at level 100 on the wiki. Also I was practicly back to 0 in all my skills after beating The Ashlands in my world and my brothers lol

bonuses*

[fringe minnow]

I tested out the bonuses with devcommands and the difference is crazy. I think I was hitting for 400 damage with a 1h sword, normal damage.

[median mist]

My skills went from mid 50s, high 90s to basically teens and low 70s.. after ashlands breach...

[unreal zodiac]

That checks

[median mist]

It feel ridiculously bad lol.

[unreal zodiac]

After playing over 500 hours and completing Ashlands twice I changed my skill lose on death to 1%

5% in Valheim is worse than 1999 Everquest LOL

[fringe minnow]

I think you and i came to the same realization lol, I can't do 5% loss.

[median mist]

I changed my to 1% as well lol. I'm not going to sit snd afk farm my levels back up at a spawner, thats not engaging. And there isnt enough content to regain those skills normally.

[fringe minnow]

I get the attitude of beating it once the way the game was designed but at this point its just not the challenge I'm looking for.

[unreal zodiac]

We definitely did. The way the skills work in this game coupled with 5% loss is terrible balance

If skills leveled up at the same rate from 0-100 then I could deal with 5%

I agree with both of you guys. I want to play the game not afk farm skills back up

[fringe minnow]

Give me challenging mechanics to overcome, that's appealing challenge to me.

afk farm skills is not it lol

[frosty walrus]

Playing the game is how you get your skills back up

[unreal zodiac]

That is a factual statement but completely unreasonable in terms of getting to 100

[median mist]

There isn't enough content once you're at ashlands to get skills back up through normal means.

[unreal zodiac]

but thanks I had no idea thats how you level up skills

[fringe minnow]

Plus there is a bit of a snowballing effect if you keep coming back to ashlands with lower and lower skill levels.

[median mist]

Staff of wild will fix that right up lol

I just unlocked staff of wild last night, talk about game changer. Difficulty just fell through the floor for me, i love it!!

[fringe minnow]

Not my playstyle lol, but I respect it may be for others.

[unreal zodiac]

I believe running, jumping, maaaaybe swords or bows you could get up to 100 just by playing the game and almost never dying but if you do its going to be a worse fate than dying is 1999 Everquest

[median mist]

I did find it quite comical though that my friend went to single digits in almost all skills after we engaged ashlands.

Lol reduced back to meadows state

[unreal zodiac]

although after beating Ashlands I agree with Inferno that there isnt much content left to naturally do that. You kind of have to go out of your way. For examply I'm using Bronze sword to fight The Elder over and over again to level up swords

[zealous anchor]

if something aint working out for me ill try another weapon or another playstyle alltogether

[unreal zodiac]

Staff of the Wild is Wicked. I had to change my playstyle in the Ashlands for sure.

[median mist]

I may try the mod skills reforged - sounds like a good stopgap type solution. It gives another skill progression called a hardened skill level which the level can never be reduced below. It levels up slower and promotes no dying through positive reinforcement.

[zealous anchor]

so you level that skill up and that skills level determines how low your other skills can drop?

[median mist]

Its built into all skills

So each one will level its own hardened level

[zealous anchor]

well ok, ill ask in mods channel if i have more questions

[unreal zodiac]

The entire game I always played heavy armor, sword, shield and I was able to meet the challenge. In the Ashlands I had to completely change my playstyle and go Wizard mode. Its such a difference in the Ashlands I feel like that was the devs intended play style

[unreal zodiac]

I'll have to check that out that sounds great

[zealous anchor]

well after getting into mistlands where everything resists physical attack idd change to mage in mistlands

[unreal zodiac]

haha i never noticed that they resist physical attack. But going back as wizard and using the fire staff does dps them down quick

[dapper hedge]

This Moment when you get the fire staff first time

[zealous anchor]

the reason the frostner does so well in mistalnds even asa well mountain weapon is cause most of its damage is magical (frost) and slows down enemies

frostner is terrible at being a mace

[median mist]

@zealous anchor Ah its called fortify skills redux had name wrong

https://thunderstore.io/c/valheim/p/Searica/FortifySkillsRedux

[unreal zodiac]

I used Frostner and Mistwalker as a Warrior in The Mistlands and if felt completely do-able. Heavy build in The Ashlands is soo risky

[median mist]

Great news is that it is a client side only mod too!

[unreal zodiac]

I like that! Definitely checking it out now

[zealous anchor]

i think more mod talk should go to #mods-discussion

[unreal zodiac]

pfft okay thanks mom

[median mist]

In ashlands i had to forego full mage, was too squishy lol. Too many 1 taps from morgens.. warriors and ashkvins when barrier broke .

[zealous anchor]

idd apreciate atleast being called Dad for the simple reason of "Sir" in my name

[median mist]

I'm playing hybrid mage with 2H Sword now and I Love it!

2H sword parries just fine with barrier against pretty much anything, followup with a special attack and targets dead

[frosty walrus]

With a barrier you can parry all blockable attacks

[smoky scarab]

barriers are useless if you are going to parry

by the way I never made the flametal shield, I assume it's just a lot worst than the carapace buckler right?

[frosty walrus]

Unless you want to parry something that would otherwise stagger you

[frosty walrus]

Slightly worse for parrying but much better for blocking

[unreal zodiac]

right thats what i was thinking because even if your block or parry, if it would otherwise stagger you, the bubble takes damage?

[smoky scarab]

I will keep the buckler then, I see no point in blocking

[frosty walrus]

The bubble takes damage before the block so that won’t make it break slower

[unreal zodiac]

ah thanks for the clarification.

[median mist]

Yeah so i use bubble to parry like 2 star charred warriors, 1 star asksvins, etc.

With my 2h

[smoky scarab]

the buckler could parry them on normal difficulty too

[sullen mortar]

I wanted to look at the official illustrations but I haven’t seen the boss yet. Do you know if it does appear on one of them?

[smoky scarab]

playing on hard now so I know better than to try it now

Sword and shield with 3 health food is what I used for multiple playthrough in the ashlands and I have not died yet, seems like the safest and honestly if you are good at parrying it is also really efficient

[unreal zodiac]

You play on hard, with sword and parry using a mistlands shield, 3 health food and never die in the Ashlands?

[cinder violet]

Anyone knows how to figure out the klocation of the last grave/death? There is an annoying bug that my last grave does not appear on the map. ..

[frosty walrus]

Have you disabled death markers? Check if the icon is dark out on the right of the map.

[cinder violet]

I did not know we could disable it. What icon has to be dark? Do you mean minimap or opened large map ?

The others do appear btw, its just a half the time tthey do not

[frosty walrus]

Open the full map, if the icon is dark on the list where you can choose an icon for a marker, it is disabled.

[cinder violet]

Oh yeah i see lol, Never knew right click disabled it ( or forgot it)
And no it was not disabled.
I disabled evrerything else to see all my graves, and NONE exist.

The issue is that the Grave simply never shows up on the map in the first place

It is 100% a bug no doubt.

I need a way to find that location tho

[frosty walrus]

You’ll have to remember where it is

[cinder violet]

I cannot as I died many times and there are many places.
I was exploring so its hard to remember exactly where it is.
I ran back already flew around the whole artea with debugmode.
I have no clue

[frosty walrus]

Load a character backup if you have to

[cinder violet]

Yeah i think i need to do that.
How do I go about that ?

[frosty walrus]

Use the manage saves button on the character select screen

[cinder violet]

Checking it out now thanks. brb

[smoky scarab]

Yes

[marsh sentinel]

If you have dev commands available find Player_tombstone might work.

[cinder violet]

Yeah a code like this I needed thanks. I just hope it works because the marker doesnt exist

trying it as well.

[cinder violet]

Does not work sadly,
I tried to replace "player" with "character name" still not working.
Wil lrevert saves for now

[cinder violet]

This worked perfectly, even if saves were few hours appart ( max auto save time for me)

[marsh sentinel]

Character name would never have worked as the item ID is Player_tombstone. I wonder why it didn't work though.

[frosty walrus]

Something must’ve gone wrong while saving??

[lilac pine]

?

[cinder violet]

Apparently a non existing commands. Tried multiple ways, Tried to see if any suggestion spawned.
I even tried Player_name_tombstone

[cinder violet]

I think the save is not the issue.
It is when I die, I spawn back on my bed ( and sometimes I am like, ok that is it for tonight) and I disconect.
The next time no grave.
I thought i was shutting the game down too fast maybe ( I always alt F4 and its almost never a problem) but I decided to wait a while. Even shutting it down properly.

My BEST guess. is that IF you log off too fast after your death ( less than 60 sec) The grave marker on the map disapears.
( I wonder now with my old char save, will I find the other char grave in the world)

[boreal plinth]

Guysssss

[marsh sentinel]

Find wasnt a valid command? Do you actually have dev commands enabled?

[boreal plinth]

A new pub opened in my town and I drunk my ass like we say in greece

[marsh sentinel]

Probably time to log out then.

[boreal plinth]

My head is numb af and idk how I ll be able to go home on feet

And I always stay very late until they close

[cinder violet]

"find Player_tombstone" find is not valid in the current context

[boreal plinth]

Because im lonely af and I enjoy rock music better alone

[cinder violet]

I did not do the "find" before 😄

[boreal plinth]

Mt friends hate me because I love rock music

I don't gaf

[cinder violet]

Anyone hating roc , clearly has no passion in their hearth

[boreal plinth]

They hate me so much I can't understand why

[cinder violet]

That is because they are not your friends lol

[boreal plinth]

I love Judas priest and heavy metal guitar solos

And heavy riffs....I'm drunk af also my gf works there I love her sooooo much

[cinder violet]

Maybe they judge you base on your rock selection not rock

[boreal plinth]

Sorry guys for acting cringe but alcohol makes me express myself better

I'm gonna marry that woman

Whenever I think about her I feel.im gonna cry because she so strong

[marsh sentinel]

I'm not sure it does.

[boreal plinth]

It does because I'm an introvert

[cinder violet]

My honest opinion is that alcohol makes you think that, so you think alcohol helps, but I am sure you can express yourself without it

Opening your hearth to a gril while drunbk/high or sober is big difference 😄

[boreal plinth]

I'm introvert and when j don't drink I only express only 1% of myself and believe me.im.very cool person if I express the 100% of myself
