general

[modest moth]

Hopefully, they won't commit that same mistake again (but I doubt it)

And more importantly: Not making estimates on when something will be released

That was an even worse mistake

[stiff bobcat]

ashlands only made 2 mistakes i can see. If heavy spawning/relentless enemies was a core part of the experience the spawning mechanisms should of been more interesting/fun and a little too copy pasta of black forest. Other than that I think its on par with the rest of the game.

[tardy vale]

well

the problem was:

1. tree breaking from cinders in a tree alerted mobs to the player

• which alerted every single monster in a huge area to you as a player. wherever you wanted it or not

2. players didn't have enough breathing space when mining flametal spires. since they will sink, and also alert mobs because of pickaxe noice

[stiff bobcat]

I actually liked the sinking of the ore. I didn't think that needed to be removed. Maybe slowed down a little bit more or make it explode or something so you can use the basalt bombs to go collect it all.

[tardy vale]

try catapult

it's fun

and works to damn well 😄

[gloomy rock]

The beauty of rewarding preparation

I feel like it’s one of those games that can actually teach some useful real life principles

Mainly just patience and preparation but ya know what I’m getting at

Like I wouldn’t mind knowing my kid was playing a game that made him think through things and punishes rushing in

[stiff bobcat]

i also liked the swarms of enemies and the idea of it but at least when i played through with my buddy there was absolutely no break from it. I would of preferred some more creative spawning ideas or more interesting means of suppression.

[grave cove]

i found a way to supress it, just dig pits and fill them up with enemies, once they are in there the area will become very peaceful

[spark thunder]

Huh. We found the catapult to be very ineffective. But we have only tried it on the one spire.

[tardy vale]

it's fun but.. you can do it 1-2-3 times maximum

[spark thunder]

Yeah, this, I think, is what has possibly killed the game for one of my friends. He literally went from the most keen to play to the least in the space of about 4 or 5 sessions of repeatedly dying in the Ashlands meat grinder.

[tardy vale]

well. you're not suppose to super hero rush into combat 🤔

[spark thunder]

We didn’t.

[marsh sentinel]

Figured which out?

[gloomy rock]

The numbers just a few msgs above

[umbral fog]

Faders dmg numbers

[marsh sentinel]

Thanks. And WHAT? How did those get missed?

[umbral fog]

i have no idae, i didnt really look at that page much since i didnt fight him yet and dont want many spoilers

[marsh sentinel]

We had a number of new people who started on Ashlands early and left a lot of unfinshed pages so it's been hard to know what was done and what wasn't. Having said that, Fader has the WIP so there's no excuse.

[gloomy rock]

That’s me since I’ve been up 26 hours and I’m at work now 😭

[tired harness]

From my understanding the wiki people have to decompile the code and search it.
Due to the nature of decompilers, not everything is clear. And internal names aren't the same as in-game names.
So you have to find out what Fader is coded as. Then find all the names of his attacks/abilities and the damage amounts/types for each.
Which.. it's not like there's a map to follow when doing so.

Hence my just asking Smiffe.

[gloomy rock]

They like decompiling gives em something to do

[tired harness]

I guarantee you they would prefer not to have to 😂

[marsh sentinel]

Oh, if we were given the numbers from the devs it'd be lovely, you're absolutely right.

Fine. Happy now? https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Fader

[marsh sentinel]

Done!

[tardy vale]

https://tenor.com/view/thank-you-sticker-thanks-sticker-line-sticker-cat-sticker-orange-cat-gif-26476683

[marsh sentinel]

I just hope it's right, even with Kirilloid's de-obsfucation it's not entirely obvious what means what.

[frosty walrus]

I thought fissure had fire damage?

[marsh sentinel]

And... off we go. Anyone else is perfectly able to change the Wiki if it's wrong and they have verifiable proof.

{ dmg: dmg({ pierce: 120, chop: 1000, pickaxe: 1000 }), name: 'fissure', force: 50, toolTier: 3, aiMinHp: 0.35, aiMaxHp: 0.85 }, // interval: 30, range: [0, 40]

[frosty walrus]

The fire would be from the green flame left after the spikes

[marsh sentinel]

Again, ANYone else is able to edit the Wiki.

Well there's this but he's commented it out, but God knows why:
// Fader_Fissure_Intense
// chop: 30, pickaxe: 30, fire: 80, spirit: 80

What?

Anyone else see that hastily deleted comment?

[devout trout]

[zealous anchor]

checkt he log?

is that a thing?

[knotty vessel]

Does anybody agree with me that deathsquito trophies look freaky as hell, i just put 2 of them on my wall and now they just staring at me, i think ive unlocked a new fear

[spark thunder]

Haha, yes.

[tardy vale]

https://tenor.com/view/mosquito-giant-gif-14169910

[zealous anchor]

thats a giant mosquito, think it deserves the name deathsquito more than actual deathsquitos do

[umbral fog]

tbf, it seems about the same size as the in game one XD

[gloomy rock]

I can’t for the life of me remember which movie that skeeter is from

[tired harness]

Fan-fic called "Chasing Smiffe" and the main character is that skeeter.

[knotty vessel]

Is 2 star neck rare because ive never found one until now and i have abt 80 hours of playtime

[gloomy rock]

Are you looking around by spawn or traveling away first

[knotty vessel]

Around spawn

[gloomy rock]

Star variants spawn further from the spawn

[tired harness]

2 star necks are the reason I wish we could tame necks 😭

[knotty vessel]

Oh i didn't even know that, well the first ever troll i saw was on the starting island, close to spawn and a 2 star one

[knotty vessel]

Yea she was really pretty

[gloomy rock]

I think it’s different for meadows mobs I don’t actually know for sure about necks but like boars you have to get away from spawn

[knotty vessel]

Yea i don't think i have ever seen a boar with a star

[gloomy rock]

That I know for sure you have to sail for

Unless ya know really big start island or boar stone spawn

[knotty vessel]

Ive seen loads of deer tho in spawn, 1 and 2 stars

[gloomy rock]

Different mob different rule

[knotty vessel]

Yep, do u know what is the rarest mob to have 2 stars?

[gloomy rock]

No clue I can’t even find a wiki page on the distance nor anything specifically on rarity

[umbral fog]

probably gjalls, tho i am not sure about ashalnds mobs, could be one of them

[winter yacht]

Thanks for inform us, that you removed the juletree. -.-

[tired harness]

They are required to inform you by international law?

[marsh sentinel]

Is it Christmas?

[marsh sentinel]

Each page should say any relevant distances.

[umbral fog]

its not buildable for quite some time XD

[knotty vessel]

Idk why but it seems to me that mosquitous are pretty rare too ive never even found a 1 star, far away from spawn

[umbral fog]

because they dont have a starred variant 😉 same as lox for example

[knotty vessel]

Bruh

Lemme guess, drakes too?

[umbral fog]

yep

[marsh sentinel]

Why guess? But yes.

[strange musk]

What is the best enchant for flametal mace?

[umbral fog]

i would love to see the sword enchant for mace 😄

[grave cove]

Most likely Klossen, but storm is also good for random damage boost

[tired harness]

Green or Blue.

I would not give either a "for sure" rating.

Meaning....?

That's why both have equal merit.

[strange musk]

Yeah the knock back might be a problem with lightning

But it looks cooler than the nature variant lol

For the bow I’m definitely going root fang

[wintry copper]

Storm Mace is good alternative to Himminafl.

And I find root doesn’t process well on the Ripper, but might be OK on Ashfang once you can take it to tier 4. For now sticking with Spinesnap.

[tired harness]

Nothing can replace Thor's Spear.

[wintry copper]

Yea. New Spear looks nice but my spear skills are currently shit compared to most other weapons, so… Maybe level it after we finish Ashlands.

[tired harness]

^ Himmin Afl

[wintry copper]

Ah - yes - well I keep it around for crowd clearing in “Oh shit!” moments. But new mace knock back is much stronger. (100 vs 40)

[tired harness]

What has 40?

Because every mace after Iron has 100.

[wintry copper]

Himmin Afl

[tired harness]

Ah.

You want fun? Build Demolisher and take it into the Ashlands. 😛

[tired harness]

210 AoE Knockback 🙂

[wintry copper]

Yep

Nucking futz

But the actual damage isn’t great or wasn’t in Mist

[tired harness]

163 is pretty good tbh

[wintry copper]

Mind you, I’m playing in Tier 2 Ask armor, so try to avoid taking any hits.

[tired harness]

163 AoE with no reduction with that amount of knockback, Demolisher is very good against groups of Charred.

Imagine if Deep North has a two-handed hammer version of Frostner?

[wintry copper]

I’ll have to try it out again. Have one in a chest somewhere.

I actually use Frostner in Ashlands. Not awful.

Slow + Spirit is good

[finite mortar]

to bad the skele's there aren't weak to blunt, or the demolisher would wreck. only weak to spirit(worriors specifically according to the wiki)

[tired harness]

Well, they are classed as demons so that's probably why 🤷‍♂️

[finite mortar]

more than likely. my brain immediately went to hammers since skele's prior were weak to it. forgot that ashlands added a whole new class of enemy type.

which means, silver is a good option in theory because of spirit damage.

[lean fable]

Palheim

[tired harness]

If the windup for the first attack weren't so atrociously long, Crystal Battleaxe would be amazing in the Ashlands.

[finite mortar]

is that where barney is? the purgatory of (trying to) making friends?

[lean fable]

Maybe

[haughty dust]

hello all

[finite mortar]

welcome to Viking purgatory....I mean valheim. 👋 😋

[tired harness]

Viking Purgatory = Gamer Heaven

Who knew? 😛

[haughty dust]

well often Valheim is rather hell then heaven 😄 😄

[tired harness]

It is not.

Hel is its own place in Norse mythos.
Valheim =/= Hel.

[haughty dust]

depends how you see it and how good you are in playing it. For those who are not that good its getting pretty much hell like as they loose allot of skill points

but I still love it

[tired harness]

Not about "how it is seen" as I just explained.

[marsh sentinel]

No, it depends on the lore.

[finite mortar]

semantics but yes. more semantics: hell =/= purgatory. also hell=/=hel

[tired harness]

semantics =/= semantics 😉

[marsh sentinel]

Semantics don't come into it.

[tired harness]

UNO REVERSE CARD NEVYN 😛 💛

[marsh sentinel]

Unless you think arguing red is blue is somehow semantics.

[haughty dust]

I was talking about the game and not purgatory or anything else concerning lore

[strange musk]

Or we get thors actual hammer

That would be so cool

[tired harness]

I mean.... this could be debated depending on how one's brain interprets the electric impulses from the eyes, and if the neurons in the optic nerve are aligned properly, and if...

😏

[finite mortar]

yes, it can be very demanding and punishing game.

[marsh sentinel]

That's still not a semantic argument though.

[lean fable]

Purgatory is actually in Hell where souls gets cleansed for heaven or reincarnation

[strange musk]

Is the himmin afl decent in Ashlands?

[tired harness]

Oh I am not continuing a religion discussion because those never end well.

[marsh sentinel]

Lore is kinda important.

[tired harness]

No.
Mistwalker, Krom, or Demolisher. They are your friends.

[strange musk]

Demolisher it is lol

[ionic tide]

After 1 and a half entire hour. I have finally finished my new base.

I am so proud and i need to sleep.

Like...really badly...

[jagged cargo]

So I found this vendor Haldor... He sells crap! Are you guys serious with UX of this game? It's great and floppy at the same time... I can buy warms and a head torch... Weapons...? Potions maybe?no?...

[umbral fog]

why would you buy stuff you can make yourself?

[finite mortar]

the UX could use touch up, but I have been playing so long that is doesn't bother me. Haldor and Hildir both sell usefull things, so long as you are not expecting the general store merchant from any other game.

[lean fable]

megingjord may not be required to beat the game, but it might as well be

[finite mortar]

100% agree

[tired harness]

50% inventory increase and one of the only permanent lights in the game...
Total crap.
Unplayable.
Horrible game.

Can't wait to hear what he thinks of Hildr's inventory 😁

[finite mortar]

considering what I know about how others react to it, its gana be a tier above what their feelings are against Haldor.

[tired harness]

😂

[tired harness]

Half of the American economy be like... 😉

[umbral fog]

🤷‍♂️ non american here

[finite mortar]

I know I was a little disappointed originally, but my only reference prior was all the rpg maker games and their "shop keeps" and now I have a better understanding and changed expectations.

half you say? more like 20% because the rest are like "can I buy it for cheaper on amazon"

[tired harness]

Oh like... 50 years ago everyone had their own garden. And was proud of it.
Slowly we dropped it because why make it yourself when you can buy it?
(Just one example)

[tired harness]

I wasn't exactly disappointed, just indifferent to the cosmetics.
But once I saw the passive 👀

[finite mortar]

ya that passive is great for those building huge builds, but (some) people don't understand that is why they exist, and complain.

[jagged cargo]

To save time...? Like I have thousands of thousands of gold and I need to forage for iron instead of buying an ingot or two. Just saying...

[umbral fog]

if you will progress a bit you will find perfect money sink 🙂
also, save time? crafting weapons is instant, and brewing doesent require your attention at all, so if you dont mean that you should be able to buy materials from him (which would be just stupid) i really dont understand that

[jagged cargo]

Yeap, was worth exploring the world for that

[tired harness]

Yes. Yes it was.
I'm glad we agree.

[jagged cargo]

I don't know. Just a huge monster next to him, whole armory around, swords, shields... And he has a fishing rod... I mean come on! Compared to the wrapping the content seemed to be a balloon fart... Swamp is not fun for getting iron, so I would appreciate this shortcut.
The game is amazing still though.
And a filter for crafting stuff would be nice. Now the list is long. It would be nice to have it sorted into armor and weapon at least

[wintry copper]

“huge monster next to him”? Guessing you’ve not been in the Plains yet?

But I agree, all the stuff scattered around that he won’t sell is something of a tease.

[tired harness]

Playing the game to get resources is not fun?

Uh... might want to find a different game. Because that is the entire gameplay loop.

[wintry copper]

Hildir’s camp is at least a little more “honest”.

[tired harness]

And iron-mining is infinitely more palatable than copper mining, which you've already had to do.

[wintry copper]

Both of which become pretty trivial later in the game

[umbral fog]

true, with iron pickaxe and higher its really not a problem 🙂

[gentle plinth]

hi amigos

[jagged cargo]

It's not all-or-nothing. I needed literally like 3 ingots. It was ages to find a new dungeon, get it and come back

[umbral fog]

you could try killing oozers 😄 they drop iron

[jagged cargo]

But those orange ones

They spawn poorly

[wintry copper]

Or smack the ground until you find something hard and dig for about 8 scrap.

Unless you’ve killed Bonemass, then you have the dowsing rod of doom

[finite mortar]

the glow-bone of finding...

[wintry copper]

With something like the stag hammer, pretty easy

[tired harness]

You will never stop needing iron.
So anything in your brain telling you that you need only 3 ingots and the shop could solve that is lying to you.

[gentle plinth]

i dont agree with this

but if my friend is getting the iron then its a different thing

[wintry copper]

Yep. At least 2 full black iron chests to start with. UNLESS you do t care to build sturdy bases.

[tired harness]

@finite mortar you just had to push them into this chat channel 😭😭😭

[umbral fog]

you dont need iron to make sturdy bases, you need a lot of iron to make a BIG bases 😉

[gentle plinth]

i love this server

[umbral fog]

tbh, this is an apropriate channel

[tired harness]

Yes, but was a pure place.

Clean. Happy.

[umbral fog]

true true...

[finite mortar]

yep, my stickler-ness did this channel dirty.

[umbral fog]

you have another one in valheim-chat 😉 XD

[tired harness]

You are responsible for finding the vaccine for the vro strain of the blawg bacterium them.

[finite mortar]

I'm not the scapegoat "wo-hong lab" you are looking for, nor am I pfizer or maderna

[finite mortar]

I am also not a purest type linguest either....man i am a lot of "not x"

[finite mortar]

does the "report message" option go to the servers moderators or to discord's mods? there is something questionable wording in one of the sections but I don't want to bother sending a report to discord since they will likely do nothing.

[tired harness]

ModMail goes to server mods.
Reports go to Discord.

[finite mortar]

good to know the difference.

[lean fable]

peeps seen the news?

[wicked forge]

Unfortunately, yes.

[lean fable]

Crazy time to be living in.

[drowsy imp]

Be mindful of the rules, folks

[finite mortar]

this isn't a news orientated chat, carefull...unless its valheim related that is.

[lean fable]

yee I'll shh now

[finite mortar]

yikes, lots of non-seekers popping up today...

might simply be me being more active in chat than game though.

[short thistle]

#news

[finite mortar]

yep, some bug fixes hit live and valheim is available on mac.

that is good news.

[modest moth]

So glad that rule exists

As I'm sure for the next following days everyone won't stfu about it

[short thistle]

has anyone asked "deep north when" this week?

[hoary roost]

Any open servers For beginner level?

[knotty vessel]

Weaknesses do not stack right? Like if u have feather cape and some root piece u wouldn't get -100% to fire right?

[livid oyster]

I joined this discord from Valheim the Boardgame website. Is there a channel dedicated for the board game (I don't see one) ?

[ionic tide]

There's a board game version of valheim? 😭

[livid oyster]

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

[umbral fog]

not yet, being worked on tho 😄

[umbral fog]

no channel for it, when we get news about it then it will be in #news most likely 😄

[livid oyster]

👍

[modest moth]

Strongest resistance of its type replaces the weakest one:

Very Resistant > resistant > very weak > weak > neutral

[knotty vessel]

Ehh ok

Nexus mods for valheim are the thing people use right?

[lunar musk]

very cool that things like this are happening

[bitter dove]

Personally I've had better time using r2modman

[knotty vessel]

Oh i use it for outward i didn't even know its for valheim too

[short thistle]

some mods are only on Nexus but save that for #mods-discussion

#general gets sensitive about mods 👀

[knotty vessel]

Oh yeah sorry abt that

[tired harness]

Prepares agitated sensitivity words.

[rapid grail]

Question: Does the amount of XP given matter on the level of creature? For example, if I hit a greyling once and a troll once, does that one hit give the same XP or is it scaled?

[tired harness]

Nope.

[umbral fog]

it should give the same ammount i believe

[tired harness]

It's just per hit.
Static.

[umbral fog]

but you can hit troll more times

[rapid grail]

thanks

[tired harness]

Especially with a crappy weapon.
More hits because less damage = more xp overall.

[finite mortar]

That's a part of the reason higher level skill grinds feel so grindy. You are doing more damage per hit and getting less hits in on a exponential (per skill level up) need. Double whammy.

[tired harness]

Wonder if we ever get Wooden Sword or if it is always "Clubs only" for Meadows.

[umbral fog]

i really dont think we will get much content added in already finished biomes

[tired harness]

Cries like a reddit poster.

[finite mortar]

yep, without mods, you are stuck with bronze as the base level for swords. you could always bump the difficulty up and fight a golem or somesuch that is resistant.

[tired harness]

Meh. I am an axe person overall.

Krom was fun for a biome.
But then Berserkir, my beloved.

So usually it's Wooden Club -> Iron Mace -> Blackmetal Axe -> Krom -> Berserkir

But on my new run I may attempt just axes all the way now that I know the glory of Berserkir is there to reward the faithful.

[finite mortar]

axes are great from a utilitarian perspective. that's what I used the first couple playthoughs when yag was last boss.

[tired harness]

Also just what I think of when I think Norse.

Like I am a huge fan of how awesome the viking longsword was.
But my brain just associates axes with Norsemen.

Partly because of how iconic the viking throwing axe was.

[finite mortar]

very much so. I tend to think of thor's hammer and axes when I think of vikings

specifically 2h axes or axe and sheild.

[umbral fog]

i dont really think there has been much axe throwing done by vikings tho (at least not on battlefields)

[finite mortar]

thrown weapons don't tend to see much use (except arrows from bows) in large part because you cant retrieve it easily and it becomes a enemy's weapon fairly easily.

[tired harness]

Rip Frostner... I miss when you didn't have 100 knockback...

You make me consider modding sometimes... 😭

[finite mortar]

me or frostneir?

[tired harness]

Frostnir

[finite mortar]

ah, ok. good I wasn't the "bad influence".

[tired harness]

Though if this was like RimWorld it would be as simple as going to the weapons file, scrolling down to Frostnir, and changing the 100 to a 30.
No mods required.

But all the local files for Valheim aren't just notepad txt files. 😭

[finite mortar]

thats how most versions of RPG maker games function(notepad) along with some visual novels.

[tired harness]

Yeah. Valheim doesn't though.

[finite mortar]

yep, and thats why I don't mess around with the files.

[tired harness]

😭

[finite mortar]

with one RPG maker game that used notepad(s), I basically rewrote the whole game because it was a bad machine translate. never going to do that again.

[tired harness]

Fair.

There are tiny number adjustments I do to RimWorld because it's that simple and some of the weapon stats don't make any sense.

[frosty walrus]

Messing around with files can be very fun if done right #memes-and-clips message

[finite mortar]

and it can be a huge headache if something unexpected comes up.

[tired harness]

No messing until 1.0

Probably not even then tbh.

[finite mortar]

ya, after the game stabilizes, mods would be more attractive for me for sure. till then, ill stick to devcommands (primarily no build cost and removedrops).

[tired harness]

On principle, mods will never be attractive to me.

[finite mortar]

they are like "new game+" or fanfiction of the original game IMO.

[tired harness]

We are of differing opinions. But best to move on.

[finite mortar]

yep

https://tenor.com/view/obi-wan-kenobi-hello-there-hellothere-star-wars-good-morning-gif-14974839905054212352

[finite mortar]

on this part of the world, indeed, good morning.

[long raft]

Midnight here, but good morning

[tired harness]

What is midnight if not the start of morning? 😉

[knotty vessel]

Litterly how am i supposed to light the iron pit, ive tried throwing it to the ground and trowing wood and stuff but nothing works

[frosty walrus]

It should’ve unlocked a new build piece you can make, you don’t use the iron pit item.

[knotty vessel]

Im so dumb i litterly saw it i tought it was a campfire

[ionic tide]

I finally got copper, now I need to just run into caves and snatch cores until I get 8. Why do I do this to myself?

[drowsy imp]

You can get by at the start with only 5 cores

Build kiln, produce enough coal for your current needs, deconstruct and build smelter

[ionic tide]

I wanna build both of those things just because I'm really greedy

The uhhehehhhhhhhh I forgot their name

The smelter and charcoal kiln, as I have no idea what they'll do for me separately
(I won't look it up as I want to find out what everything does as I go. I'm playing this game entirely blind)

[drowsy imp]

Ooh, gotcha

Would just suggest making the kiln first then, as a gentle nudge

[ionic tide]

Noted, thanks

I really appreciate how this game has a lot of quality of life features while still being difficult. It's not one of those games where it just makes every single action possible unnecessarily tedious.

[untold night]

QoL features in Valheim have a crazy-steep diminishing return. Difficulty will make you its bitch soon enough 😛

[zealous anchor]

heh, making food can be quite tedious lol especialy the ones on a black forest cooker

[vivid field]

You just need to find something else to do while you wait that won't take you too far away

[zealous anchor]

you cant "afk" the ||cooking pot||

[knotty vessel]

Atleast 10, but like u said if ur greedy like me then get 50

[ionic tide]

Dude, there is no universe where I would ever consider this a possibility 😭

I struggle getting 1 of these in itself

[knotty vessel]

Im just kidding 15 will be fine if u want to smelt them at the same time

[ionic tide]

I have no idea what it means but I'm sure I'll deal with it like an absolute trained professional when I get to it, thanks

[vivid field]

Oh the cooking pot isn't that bad, it's a few seconds at most for anything in there. The real waiting tedium comes from racks and oven IMO

I generally use the pot to prep more stuff while the oven is baking. Alternating between them breaks up the tedium pretty well

[zealous anchor]

you forgot the fact that you dont make only a few but like a tonne at a time

[vivid field]

A few stacks, dunno exactly what you mean by a ton. I try not to have overly huge stockpiles of food

[ionic tide]

Yay!!! I found 4 cores

Yippeeeeee

[ionic tide]

8 total cores (I think). The secret is to eat food

[knotty vessel]

Eating food is all of valheim's secret

[ionic tide]

Bro ate 2 pieces of meat and a yellow glowing mushroom and proceeded to kill 15 skeletons with a axe and a door this truly is the viking grindset

[knotty vessel]

Bro got a bit of rage

[vivid field]

spare a couple wood for a club, worth the extra inventory slot IMO

[ionic tide]

He pressed L3 + R3

[ionic tide]

I already have a flint axe which does more damage I believe

[knotty vessel]

Skelly boys are weak to blunt

[ionic tide]

They seem to take more damage to my axe though, I've used the club and it takes like 8 hits to kill one as opposed to the 5 it takes with the axe

[knotty vessel]

Oh ok, well use whatever works the best

[ionic tide]

Also, I've completed building a kiln and it's a coal generator which seems obvious now. Only 2 more cores and I'll hop off and hibernate

If u can tho id really recomend stagbreaker, it does large AOE and its 20 blunt, 5 pierce

[ionic tide]

I'll find out what that is when I get to it 🤔 I might start maining bows

Thanks for the recommendation tho

[knotty vessel]

Break a pine tree then u get the recipe, thats all it is also very easy to make

U can use a flint axe

[ionic tide]

I did it and got the recipe, thanks for helping me out man I appreciate it

Holy crap I looted this dungeon that had like 6 cores I'm swimming in riches and fortune

[knotty vessel]

No problem man

[fringe juniper]

Is there any way for someone who has the game on Steam to play with someone on Xbox?

[vivid field]

yes

[velvet thunder]

How so?

[marsh sentinel]

Just use crossplay.

[gloomy rock]

Valheim soundtrack on Apple when

I’m tempted to click that

But I don’t trust it

It's purile.

Hi all, am new do I need to go through initiation sequence?

[finite mortar]

if you mean for the server, kinda. there are steps to allow you access to some/most of the available chat channels. it mostly boils down to reading and following the rules, looking at the chat descriptions and choosing in rules-and-info what channels you want access to.

Hi everyone!

Please advise, please, yesterday started playing with a friend in this game. The world created him, now he unfortunately sleeps, and I want to go to that world to play while he sleeps.
Is this possible?

[gloomy rock]

If he sets it up as a dedicated server

Or if he hands you the save files before he gets off

[crisp delta]

hows val-grind going?

any news on the next update?

[molten kayak]

No news

https://valheim.com/news/development-blog-in-case-you-missed-it/ Latest blogpost about what they've been up to

[gloomy rock]

Finally made it to Ashlands and oh my it’s beautiful

I love the Morgen they’re so cool

I do see why people have so many complaints but I love the way we’re clearly not welcome in this biome

[craggy holly]

and you can see (maybe a bit less if a storm comes in) and you don't have to climb like in Mistlands!

[crimson inlet]

You should see the solutions as well

Or I mean, after you're done

Ashlands is amazing until the immersion is broken

Broken because of the solutions to deal with Ashlands

Everything in Ashlands 10/10
Combat 4/10

[knotty vessel]

Does the sealed tower allways only has 2 chests in the bottom?

[spark thunder]

Did you defeat the miniboss?

[gloomy rock]

The lightning from the storm is absolutely gorgeous

To be fair though I don’t mind the mist

It feels immersive and has an edge to it so I really like it

[gloomy rock]

Which is?

Cheesing ai with building or something?

[crimson inlet]

Everyone has something similar
Common ones are
Ignore enemies, jump up and down a rock cus enemies are slow climbers, always have bonemass, use Vine staff, lower your difficulty , etc..

It's been a while, but there were many conversations

Oh best one is to have felled trees

Since they're not terrain, ai need to constantly repath

But all of these are "gameplay"
Which is why I give it 4/10

Everything else? 11/10 even

None of the members in my group enjoyed it
I had to solo 80% of the biome
And have my friends log in only to join the forts

[knotty vessel]

Yea i did

[spark thunder]

Ok, I don’t recall all what was in there when we completed it, but if you’ve done that, and you have ||the chest for Hildir||, that should be all you need.

[craggy holly]

Took me a while to love Mistlands but now I do

[bronze cloud]

Hello,
Can i have your opinion on something?
How funny is the term : beige flag rizzler?

[crimson inlet]

Too out of context
Anything can be funny in context

[proven dagger]

On its own kinda lame, with context it might be hilarious.

[jade scaffold]

Hello everyone. Please tell me, will achievements be added to steam and when?

[frosty walrus]

Probably when the game leaves early access

[gloomy rock]

I think it’s good but not necessarily in a funny way

I’m pretty sure smiffe confirmed achievements come with full game

There was a reason they don’t have them now

[proven dagger]

I'm also loving the mistlands but also "hate" it to some point.
It is a good looking biome and the special mobs like morgen and fallen valkyrie are nicely done (except the combat) they look terrifying and the first few times you fight them is a steep learning curve but once you get the hang of them they become quite easy.
The fact you can't really get a respite unless you do some cheese spawn proofing is a let down, some other mechanic to make a safe zone other than spawn proofing would have been nice.
Like something you could build after you have destroyed a spawner and gotten a drop from it for example, you can only build one in a pretty big radius.
The constant stream of loot that mostly consists of grausten and charred bones quickly fills up your inventory and you need to constantly empty it, a loot filter or lowering the drop rate would be nice.

All in all I like the biom but it could have been better.

[bronze cloud]

Thanks guys 🙂

[gloomy rock]

Valkyrie and morgen are so beautiful

Omg the archer volleys

[frosty walrus]

Valkyries and morgens are the best new weapons because of friendly fire

[gloomy rock]

That volley of arrows is some of the most beautiful shit to have coming straight at your face

Especially with at least 3 firing at the same time

[frosty walrus]

They don’t do a ton of damage but are a safe way to attack a large group of enemies

[gloomy rock]

I didn’t even really notice them doing friendly fire

But it’s hella chaotic to begin with

[crimson inlet]

A lot of enemies hit each other

[frosty walrus]

All enemies except charred and voltures have friendly fire on some or all attacks, using friendly fire is a great way to deal with larger groups of enemies

[gloomy rock]

I noticed the puppies hitting things that’s for sure 😂

[crimson inlet]

Everything is a strategy except actually fighting them

[spark thunder]

If you start building with Grauston then you’ll realise why you get so much of it!

[proven dagger]

I've already got 2 bm chests worth of the stuff in only 12 ish hours of doing ashlands, it is a bit much.

[frosty walrus]

Where do you get so much from? Is there a way to get it other than mining it from the ground?

[gloomy rock]

Does it not just drop from the enemies?

I always have so much I figured they did

[lament vessel]

what do you mean..? i take 2 steps and ive got another 3 stacks of the stuff

no, there's just that much constant destruction

seems like ruins actively break as well just from being in render distance

i need to put up a stack of boxes and stop throwing it away i guess. i do really like the roofs, and the big floor pieces are pretty handy...

[umbral fog]

Mornin gjall 😄

[proven dagger]

The enviroment gets destroyed by askvin, lava blobs, myself and other enemies and it just keeps piling up.
Those arches for example contain a ton and if you fight near them, good chance it will break and collapse.

[gloomy rock]

“If” like we aren’t forced to fight by them at many points

[tardy vale]

Hey Smiffe, how is the vacation?

[tardy vale]

https://tenor.com/view/passport-traveling-out-of-office-vacation-travel-gif-17267420815263186437

[modest moth]

People underestimate those volleys

It doesn't do anything if it's one or two

But you will be progressively turned into Swiss cheese if there's a whole army of archers continuously shooting volleys at you.

They're not meant to deplete your hp in a single shot, they're meant to do it slowly so another enemy finishes you off

Although they do still hurt a lot as they're essentially a shotgun at close range

[proven dagger]

I do like the staff of fracturing I find it does a tad better than the ember staff.

[tired harness]

Staff of Yag Meteor when? 😛

[crimson inlet]

Too many variables to make it better than ember
It needs to be single target and a big enough target to eat all the shrapnel, and needs to be dead on to be better than ember
Every other time, ember will be better I think

Ember you can willy nilly shoot and achieve more

I tried so hard to make myself believe fracturing is better but
Ember won

Hey at least you can shoot it up in the sky and have it rain fire

[teal fossil]

For me it's mostly the Morgens roll attack that generates grausten

[proven dagger]

If your aim is good or you group up a bunch of mobs fracturing is quite good and the knockback seems to be more than ember.
It is true that with ember you just have to aim in the vicinity and it will do its thing.
Another point for ember is that you can easily be further away than with the fracturing.
For me the fracturing wins out but with a very small margin though.
I might go back to ember if the aiming gets to be annoying.

[crimson inlet]

I used fracturing so much and tried to come up for a reason for it to be better but
1/10 times fracturing is better
Just too many conditions for maybe 10% more damage

The only real good thing about fracturing is the cost to craft and upgrade
It's practically free

[proven dagger]

Yeah, true.
So far I've only used it for a day (about 3 hours of playing) and find it better than the ember staff for now.
I might come back to ember though since it is a small margin and the close is good enough from ember does have its perks.

[knotty vessel]

Can somebody explain how armor points work? Like does it defend against every damage type like if a gjall does 50 fire damage and with no armor u take 50 damage but with 50 armor points make u take 0 damage?

[frosty walrus]

https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Damage_mechanics#Armor

[proven dagger]

It is for all damage types.
If armor is less than half of raw damage, health lost = damage - armor.
But if armor is more than half of the damage, health lost = (Damage/(Armor*4))*Damage.

So 50 armor and 40 damage = 8 hp lost.

Fore more info check: https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Damage_mechanics#Armor

[lean fable]

no

[frosty walrus]

Enemies there might be less fire resistant (maybe even weak to fire) and the staff should be upgradable to level 4

[vivid field]

personally it feels a bit like a cheap loaner staff you give to friends trying to break into magic themselves without having to spend a lot of valuable eitr on extra gear

I don't think it'll be better relative to the other staffs -- its very cheap resource wise, the cheapest by far

[lament vessel]

i haven't used it but, seems mostly like a mob weapon. like raid response type business.

it seems like iy should be good in mines, but...tbh mostly seems to just break the wooden beams...heh

[vivid field]

ember staff is just better

ostensibly the only advantage of fracturing staff is more projectiles so you might be able to skill up slightly quicker?

[lament vessel]

gotta be a good use case for it though. i feel like there's gotta be

ehhhh. ice is fast and dundr counts each pellet as a hit, sssoooo...

[vivid field]

cheap loner staff is all I got

[lament vessel]

unless each tick on the dot counts toward skill..

maybe ill mess with it some when im goofin off solo. maybe it shreds frost caves or something random idk

maybe burning down the black forest when you have fire spread. somethin. 🤷‍♂️

[strange obsidian]

any trick I am missing on how to grow vineberries? seems I'm doing something wrong, they are not growing berries at all 😦

[gaunt ingot]

before you get access to one of the Ashlands armor sets, what y'all finding is most "survivable" to get to that point, melee or mage?

[strange obsidian]

I went with bow but you need tons and tons of arrows

[gaunt ingot]

yeah, i get the feeling that's gonna be a big part of it, you think that pairs better with the "light" mage set, for staying fast on the foot--there's no dedicated "ranged set" arguably in the Mistlands tier, so the other option is heavy armor.

[strange obsidian]

I used a combination of carapace+fenris until you get the light set of Ashland

[lament vessel]

if vines are growing, berries will come

[strange obsidian]

which is pretty dope

[strange obsidian]

thanks 🙂 guess I'll just to have to wait or farm them in Ashlands

[lament vessel]

yep. the vines also grow/spread really slowly, so be patient. i planted maybe a dozen around my garden wall and it doesn't seem like they produce much, but, we (2 players) haven't run out, so... meh?

[grave cove]

Yea better to farm berries in the ashlands and use planted berry bushes as decoration at the base as a slow influx of berries

[robust solar]

The game changed for me when I got access to mage in Mistlands... those Gjalls just burn to death now :). Also the shield from the staff of protection essentially makes you tanky as well... but that's once you level up your blood magic. Totally worth it though

[modest moth]

Glitch

[gaunt ingot]

Love the mage build and it absolutely rolls over everything up to and including Mistlands, just curious if it holds up still in Ashlands as well as melee, as I've done just a little bit of both, and its pretty intense either way--they def pop the mage bubble WAY faster in Ashlands--and I'm not yet sold on which my best bet is, until I can lay may hands on some proper Ashlands gear

[robust solar]

Your survivability will depend on your shield, sword(or w/e wep you use), and magic skill lvls... you can make either work for your use case... kiting is much easier with magic though which is necessary for the amount of mobs you deal with solo... and make sure you're eating the best food for its class whether it's eitr, stamina, or health. Melee is definitely more intense and a higher skill requirement vs magic due to timing parries and managing stamina

[gaunt ingot]

ty for the advice--I probs need magic/whatever easier lol, because while I'm decent...i can use whatever edge I can get here in the Ashlands!

[sudden torrent]

Hello. Is there any plans to give Ashlands more updates? Like, would it be advisable to save some undiscovered map for future updates?

[umbral fog]

not really

[craggy holly]

as soon as you have enough flametal for one black forge upgrade its like 5 I think which you can get from Dvergr you can make carapace level 4, thats a great start for melee and holds up nicely, its equivalent armour to flametal level 1

[sudden torrent]

I have conquered 10 forts , beat the boss and done the side quest. Just curious if I should keep going on my path of destruction or put this game on ice until the deep north update.

[hollow wagon]

lol you should come help me get my body back would be my suggestion

[sudden torrent]

I could... never done that but ok

[hollow wagon]

I have a portal right near it. no boat ride

just need basalt bombs, my body is on a flametal node.

and a valkyrie is circling it.

[short thistle]

like vultures

[sinful heron]

voltures are only dangerous when you die

[gloomy rock]

Their damage is so low

[modest moth]

They deal 110 slash...

And have fast attack speed

It's like fighting an empowered wolf

[gloomy rock]

The Voltures? The things I was just face tanking and ignoring in carapace armor while on hard?

[tardy vale]

https://tenor.com/view/sherlock-yes-exactly-its-true-gif-20449348

[gloomy rock]

They were hitting for like 17

When I first saw them I was oh no oh no oh no and then they hit me and I thought huh flies swat

[finite mortar]

Much like skeeters' after you get full padded and plains level food.

[craggy holly]

Level 4 carapace is quite good actually

[gloomy rock]

True but this is ignoring them while using the previous biome gear

[finite mortar]

But with the biome befores armor*

[gloomy rock]

Why just armor?

Oh I see now

[craggy holly]

Voltures can be dangerous when there is 5 or more

[gloomy rock]

I can see that but that then begs the question of why did you let them pile up? They only take what 3/4 hits to kill

Well using silver sword

[craggy holly]

the thing that kills me most in Ashlands is 2 star warriors really, in PTB everything else can be handled relatively easily with enough preparation, if you make some mistakes a 2 star warrior will end you haha

[gloomy rock]

That stab animation is deadly

[finite mortar]

The fake out is tough for sure.

[gloomy rock]

They give like a false sense of security, you can walk around them without them swinging, they give 8 minute wind ups and then boom insta poke

Have you tried just being a warriors shadow? They never strike

[craggy holly]

also when going mage and having some ashlands staves, if you're skill level is high enough you don't have to fear a lot of things

[gloomy rock]

Melee only there has been rough that’s for sure

[craggy holly]

on normal mode with carapace 4, mistwalker 4 and carapace buckler level 3 its okay, even easier if you get flametal armour 2 or 3, mistwalker is incredibly strong in ashlands (hope this is how dyrnwyn will be in Deep North or maybe even better)

Thundering Berserkir axes personally only good with a little bit of skill, at axe skill 3 it doesnt rock as much, trying to get it up right now haha

[gloomy rock]

Ye I’m excited to get some better gear for this place

[finite mortar]

It will be nice once more bench upgrades roll out. If I remember right, flametal heavy armor is the same armor as max carapace but less durability due to the limited bench level.

*memory from ptb pre live.

[gloomy rock]

It seems blood bubble is just better than armor in general anyway so I’ll probably stick the magic robes

The diminishing returns already make heavy armor so unappealing combined with movement penalty

[craggy holly]

outside of fortress I run 2 stamina 1 health food in heavy armour, works well, and switch to 2xhealth when doing a fortress in melee but normally I do as mage with 3 eitr food for fortress to just murder things there

so I end up with a lot more stamina when running heavy which makes it feel okay with the movement penalties

[marsh sentinel]

Hm, Once Human takes a while before you're actually playing the game.

15 minutes of walking 10ft then pressing F to watch a cutscene with exposition. Then another weird section with the actual plot and then finally you're dropped into the game world whereupon it just becomes a standard surivival crafter with the plot very much in the background.

[craggy moth]

I hate the design trend of PRESS E (or whatever button) to perform an action, when really you're continuing a cutscene.

[finite mortar]

so it's more like "press E" to play.

[craggy moth]

Button mashing to crawl out of the pit in Cyberpunk for instance. Pointless. Just make it a cutscene.

But apparently people exist who find that engaging somehow

[gloomy rock]

Those kind of mechanics were super engaging…. Like 20 years ago

[crimson inlet]

This blows my mind when a game is so successful but plays like this
Where it plays a cutscene and you press the button prompt

I think I've seen something similar in ghost of Tsushima which really make me not want to play it

Cutscenes overall usually ruin games for me

I'll never play last of us or whatever
It looks boring as hell yet it's considered one of the best games out there

[gloomy rock]

The trade off there is the story

You get exciting games with horrible stories or boring games with amazing stories. It’s hard to find a middle ground

[crimson inlet]

If I'll play a story game
It'll have to be purely story
Like a visual novel, like phoenix wright

[crimson inlet]

What would you consider valheim?

[queen thicket]

Ever played A Way Out?

[ionic tide]

Incredible game ngl. I played wit my brother on our old xbox

Both me and my brother were tearing up a bit at the end

[queen thicket]

extremely felt bud

[crimson inlet]

Not really
I might have not said exactly what I wanted to say

A game with great gameplay can have great story

I just don't want a game that anchors on story

Quick time events
Cutscenes
All these I hate

[queen thicket]

Damn, so i suppose A Way Out's a no-go for ya

[crimson inlet]

Maybe
Like I wouldn't play god of war

Or last of us

Not being a snowflake
Idc who likes these

[queen thicket]

mkay edgelord, but i suppose everyone's got their taste

[crimson inlet]

Ah I figured my opinion would be taken that way

Like I tried playing DMC 5
The cutscenes made me stop every time

I tried many times but I got sick of it every time

[craggy moth]

Part of the problem is that if you don't have a strong plot and good voice acting to carry those cutscenes, it's like watching a bad movie

[crimson inlet]

But cutscenes are taken seriously no?

Monster hunter for example, the fights themselves look like cutscenes
Hell, sailing into Ashlands felt better than watching any cutscene out there

But even more in depths
When a single button command does so many things at once

That's probably worse (?) I don't have a full opinion yet

To simplify
I dislike cutscenes and the thing mentioned earlier where one button does everything and you watch
I don't want to sit and watch the game

[queen thicket]

huh, that coaxes my recommendation to a way out back again

cuz ya actually do stuff there and are able to semi roam and do stupid stuff

choices, scary i know

[crimson inlet]

I don't doubt you
It's probably a good game

[proven dagger]

Morgen gjall.

[crimson inlet]

Mornin

It's probably completely contradictory that I like Undertale, phoenix wright, and plan to play baldurs gate

So it's really hard for me to actually point out why I hate cutscenes

There's some games where it's like
"OH! a cutscene!!"
Vs
"Dear God not another cutscene I don't care"

A treat vs a nuisance

[proven dagger]

I love and hate cutscenes, a whole lot of cutscenes aren't done right and it ruins stuff.
Other curscenes are a work of art and done right and then I can't wait to get to the next.

[crimson inlet]

In tears of the kingdom the cutscenes felt great because you activated them yourself and they're like 30s to 2mins

[steep socket]

I'm a story man, I'll never shy away from a cutscene

[crimson inlet]

When you play Nier replicant and you face multiple enemies in a fun fashion
Vs in ghost of Tsushima where you press one or two buttons (idk the game enough)

I want to play it but I saw the game play on a reel or something showing how "cool" it was but it looked not fun

[crimson inlet]

Stories are great always for sure

I love a good story
But not at the expense of gameplay

[gloomy rock]

Exciting game with great* lore but lacking story

[steep socket]

Well not all games are really meant to have the best gameplay. Some people like myself just enjoy an interactive story to get chill out to. But I can understand why some people would find it boring.

[crimson inlet]

Can I get an example? Curious

[crimson inlet]

I realized this sailing into Ashlands
I said
"This is the cutscene!"

[gloomy rock]

At least with baldurs gate you have like 3 hours of combat between cutscenes

[crimson inlet]

I plan to play it, I just don't have the time (aka other games in queue)

[gloomy rock]

I didn’t get through it myself but it’s a very very nice game

I’m also more burnt out on turn based games and only got it because of the hype

[steep socket]

Well just at the top of my head, I played detroit become human recently. The whole gameplay side of it is basically just pressing a certain key when prompt. But I still enjoyed the game very much because of the wonderful story. (I think this is the sort of game you meant, correct me if I'm wrong)

[crimson inlet]

Aaah it's so hard argue this
Detroit become human is probably incredible

[gloomy rock]

I saw someone mentioned the button spam for a scene in cyberpunk and I can’t even remember that scene

I’ve 100% the game and I’m now going through a second time to 100% again with the dlc and I can’t remember that type of scene

[crimson inlet]

I feel that a button mash QuickTime event can only be fun in horror games

[gloomy rock]

I don’t doubt it’s there but there’s so little QuickTime events in that game I think it’s kinda okay there is some

Oh wait I vaguely remember one towards the end of the story missions now

[steep socket]

Yeah in my opinion it is, but that's what I mean. I didn't leave that thinking wow that gameplay was amazing, I left thinking the story was amazing and thats why I loved it

[gloomy rock]

Crawling on the ground for a gun or something

[crimson inlet]

I guess if a game is truly made in a story type fashion then it's fine

[steep socket]

Agreed, I just love a story game at times

[crimson inlet]

But if a game like let's say
Last of us

[gloomy rock]

If you haven’t played cyberpunk and plan to you I highly recommend watching the anime cyberpunk edge runners first. That way when you meet Adam’s savage you’ll have the proper hate in your heart for him

[crimson inlet]

I remember all my friends said it's awesome
It never looked appealing

Because what is it
Is it a shooter?

[gloomy rock]

Cyberpunk? It’s basically fallout but futuristic and not a wasteland

[queen thicket]

Random take, GTAV also has a cool story with cutscenes that dont suck

[crimson inlet]

My experience of two games I really disliked was god of war demo and DMC 5

[crimson inlet]

I didn't play GTA V and I had it

[steep socket]

I actually liked the last of us. I'd say it definitely depends on how you approach the game. I went into it because I was told it had a great story so I expected a story driven game. But if you go in expecting a great zombie shooter you'll probably be disappointed so I understand what you mean

[crimson inlet]

Hmmm

I feel I'd rather watch it than buy it and play it

[steep socket]

Yeah makes sense. But for me being able to control a character gives me a stronger connection to them which is why I love stories presented as games

All comes down to preference

[crimson inlet]

I completely understand
But also I don't

Wouldn't you have preferred like
A resident evil style uhh

Gameplay loop with occasional cutscenes rather than
Walking and entering cutscenes?

[steep socket]

I feel like the last of us was structured pretty similar to resident evil games. Zombie/human fighting in between cutscenes with a bit of adventure. And the last of us combat wasn't horrible, it did what it needed to do in my opinion. If the game didn't have a big story backing it then it would've flopped for sure but the combat sort of falls into the story. It isn't just continues cutscenes, they have a good amount of fighting and exploring in between

[crimson inlet]

📝hmm..

[steep socket]

And it also tells the story during gameplay too, it isn't just purely story in cutscenes only. A good chunk of the story is told while traveling/fighting

So that's why I enjoy game stories, it feels a bit more invloved

[crimson inlet]

You're making it hard to have an opinion on it hahah
Because these are valid points

But personally
I feel that if I picked the last of us, I'd be peeved

[steep socket]

How come?

[crimson inlet]

If the cutscene wasn't good, I'd want to go back to the game
If the gameplay wasn't good, I'd rush to the next cutscene

I just think back to my experience with dmc5

I played about 2-3 hours
I literally feel like I played 5 minutes of those 3 hours

[gloomy rock]

They just don’t feel like they have any traveling or exploring to me

[steep socket]

But I feel like with the last of us specifically, the cutscenes are amazing and the gameplay is fine. I never played dmc5 so I have no idea how it plays.

[crimson inlet]

Yeah that reminds me
Are you traveling or going where the game asked you to go even

[gloomy rock]

I stopped playing the last of us because I felt like I didn’t get to make any real choices in my gameplay

[steep socket]

It's quite linear

[gloomy rock]

Linear gameplay feels more like reading a book

[crimson inlet]

It probably deserves the praise it got

[gloomy rock]

It was probably a really good book

[steep socket]

So you'll have limited exploring but there are definitively things the more exploring type will find that others will miss

[steep socket]

Yeah well thats the thing I have been saying. It isn't trying to be an open world in depth gameplay game. It is trying to tell you a story, and that is the main focus

It's a different experience. For example, answer this, why have movies when we have books?

[gloomy rock]

I think the real issue with QuickTime gameplay is not respecting that everything in the world isn’t designed for you

[crimson inlet]

Jrpgs have a shit ton of text and I love it

[gloomy rock]

Because people can’t read

[crimson inlet]

I feel that everything I say contradicts myseld

I can't really put a finger on what I dislike

[steep socket]

Well then why do people who can read watch movies?

[gloomy rock]

The dichotomy of humans

[gloomy rock]

They don’t 😉

That was a silly follow up question to my joke 😂

I read my movies to be fair

Subtitles for life

[steep socket]

My bad couldn't tell if it was a joke

[gloomy rock]

I mean I’m not realistically going to claim people can’t actually read

[steep socket]

Haha

[gloomy rock]

I think that your question also has more to do it than that when there’s like a whole brain rot addictive cycle to sucking in media

People don’t doom scroll books as much as they do video media

[crimson inlet]

If subtitles are on, I stop listening
So I keep them off

[gloomy rock]

I can’t hear what they’re saying without subtitles

[steep socket]

My point is, there are movies, shows, books, games. All these ways of telling a story. Just because a game could be presented as a book doesn't mean the game is bad, or vice versa. Same as a movie to a book or a book to a movie. So yes, the last of us is linear but it isn't trying not to be

[crimson inlet]

I feel I can't hear what they say when subtitles are on

[gloomy rock]

It’s like blah blah proper place noun this verb adjective blah blah

[steep socket]

Facts

[crimson inlet]

I end up just reading and not listening

[gloomy rock]

I read it and then listen half the time

Since you can read the two lines before they get past two words

[steep socket]

I read it if I miss something

Quickily look down haha

[crimson inlet]

I usually have it off

[steep socket]

I can't remember the last time I watched a show without subtitles

[gloomy rock]

I peripheral read it at this point 😂

[crimson inlet]

But I think... I'd rather read dialogue than watch cutscenes?

Maybe I'm old-school and cutscenes are supposed to be a treat once in a while

[steep socket]

Haha, maybe I'm just fat and love treats

[proven dagger]

Maybe just old? ;p

[crimson inlet]

Naw that can't be it
Elden ring exists and it hardly has cutscenes and it's an incredible game

Valheim

Prime examples of experiencing it rather than watching it

[proven dagger]

Diablo 2 had cutscenes and pretty good ones at that and was also an incredible game.

[gloomy rock]

No game compares to the best game though and it’s got amazing cutscenes that are unmatched by anything in current day media

[crimson inlet]

Jrpgs have a lot of dialogue and technically "cutscenes"

Like tales of Symphonia had lots of dialogue but it felt balanced

I can't decide

[proven dagger]

Let the dice do the deciding.

[crimson inlet]

Nat20
Cutscenes suck

[gloomy rock]

Tales of xilia 1/2 omg

Don’t make me cry anymore please

[crimson inlet]

I only played Symphonia and vesperia
Zesteria I really didn't like so I quit

Heard good things about xillia

[gloomy rock]

I only really played those two

The one that came out after I got and was excited to play but it had a camera bug that made the game actually unplayable for any normal person

Zestiria I think

[crimson inlet]

I have berseria which I still didn't play
I want to play arise

So many games to play
So many cutscenes to watch

[gloomy rock]

I to see the arise season of solo leveling 😂

[gloomy rock]

I forgot I was hoping someone would ask what’s the best game you’re talking about 😂

Maybe no one asked because everyone knows the obvious answer

Viva piñata

[tired harness]

[gloomy rock]

I’m feeling froggy, I might just leap

[tired harness]

Be careful. That can lead to navigating a real Gauntlet.

[gloomy rock]

I absolutely love gauntlet but only on like ps4

Because I’m bad and I need to cheat with the extra health button they give you in every version that’s not on the actual machine

I was playing it at this barcade last Christmas and I couldn’t get past like 3-4 stages

I should of looked up some tips but I was convinced I’d figure out to get through it without taking so much damage

[tired harness]

I'm out here thinking of the original stand-up arcade version and you're bringing it all the way up to 2010+?

[gloomy rock]

The newer versions are the only ones I can enjoy with my skill issue 😔

[spark thunder]

The best Gauntlet for me will always be the Spectrum version. But that’s because it was the first I played. And it still blows my mind how they even managed to write that game for that system, technically.

[finite mortar]

Yep I'm late to this old game convo but:
If we are bringing up old games, there was this game on stand up arcade machine called "road rage". You were a biker and would pick up random weapons and fight other bikers and cars for supremacy of the road.

Also, all the "sonic the hedgehog" games. Running in loops trying to collect all the rings. Fighting Eggman and his creations.

Both were great games. And both were available to me as a kid at our dentists office. It was a "treat" for after an appointment.

[spark thunder]

Speaking of eggmen…

Funny thing is, though I was all about how difficult games were back in the day, now I want “story mode” difficulty levels.

[zealous anchor]

Ive been stuffing sausages from 10 am to 6 47 pm

[marsh sentinel]

You're doing it wrong.

[zealous anchor]

After thinking of how ive worded it
Yes

[modest moth]

Biscuit...

What are you doing with those sausages...?

[hushed trout]

Could the portal for transferring ingots be accessible earlier than in Ashlads, where it’s more or less useless to me?

[marsh sentinel]

You can always change the world modifier to allow ores through normal portals. But no, it's part of the game progression. It encourages you to sail.

Also, it's certainly not useless to you as the next place you'll need to go is the Deep North on the other side of world.

[lament vessel]

there is no coffee. why is there no coffee.

[tired harness]

Because tea is better.

[lament vessel]

so I'm staying at my brother's for a bit, right? sister in law asks what I want from the store. i say, coffee (been out for like 2 weeks, and where i come from that's not just like party foul, it's rude), red meat, yoghurt. she gets chicken and salad.
so....why ask me what i want...?

[tardy vale]

you take that back 👀

[vivid field]

what about the meat and yoghurt?

I cannot, for it is the truth.

Good Smiffe. Enjoy your time off with an adorable cat, or 2.

[vivid field]

and don't forget the tea coffee

[lament vessel]

no yoghurt either. there's chicken, but i keep saying "red meat" for a reason.

there's not even a decent tea around. there's like...a peppermint one?

like first time, whatev, but this kinda thing is consistent and i legit can't tell if she's just ...still a kid, or this is is passive aggressive hate.

[vivid field]

could have just been she forgot -- if I don't write stuff down I'm not gonna remember

in any case it sounds like you might be projecting some of your own feelings

[lament vessel]

texted while she was at the store. also, samething thougj, once is whatever, but repeatedly for weeks? always the same thing?

[lament vessel]

lol

[vivid field]

or.. the store didn't have whatever it was

[zealous anchor]

Stuffing them?

[lament vessel]

see ...exactly. that's not rly a thing. at first i was just like oh she forgot or was distracted, but... we're talkin staple foods from a grocery store...like i can't rly justify it anymore, and this is kinda just one example. i don't wanna think she's doing it intentionally but ..."in my experience, yadda yadda" -- anyway, "best case" i can see anymore is that she's just ...not grown up. heh

idk. it's just been bugging me for a while, and now i find out we're goin into third week "forgot" coffee. (btw like a month ago she straight up told me she was "good about always keeping extra coffee so we never run out")

meh.

in other news, haldor.

[vivid field]

I had on separate occasions both of my sisters' family living with me for a time. It's incredibly surprising how quickly certain things disappear and/or add up.

somewhat related: do you pay for any of these groceries, or rent? When was the last time you went to the store and got her something?

[vivid field]

but honestly yeah I don't need to draw out this conversation if you're done.. just trying to help give some outside perspective.

[lament vessel]

well imean i didn't really want to go all ranty in valheim discord lol, i just don't get it. more than anything it's the asking thing. like i didn't just ask for this stuff, she asks what i want...

[rugged perch]

Hello fellow vikings! Is there any way to reach out to the developers? I have a suggestion for a better translation of the poems on sacrificial stones at the spawn

[vivid field]

theres a whole channel dedicated to exactly that: #suggestions

[rugged perch]

Is it for translation suggestions though?

[wooden prawn]

how much are there actuall developers of valheim taht can work on the game not including mods that are on the servere

[marsh sentinel]

All of them.

[wooden prawn]

all mods developers and helpers?

[marsh sentinel]

Hm, game mods? No. But some are.

[wooden prawn]

i once ve heard that only 3 people develop this game

[wooden prawn]

i mean moderators

[marsh sentinel]

We had one 5 years ago. Now it's about 14.

[drowsy imp]

https://valheim.com/support > Translation Errors

[wooden prawn]

5 ?

valheim is out on sale for 3 years

[marsh sentinel]

And?

[wooden prawn]

ig

[rugged perch]

Thank you, but I am not talking about the errors. Poems on the sacrificial stones are not as epic in my native language compared to English so I simply want to suggest better ones that I wrote myself

[wooden prawn]

so u want to translate the whole game in ur native language js by urself ?

[rugged perch]

No, just the 7 poems on the starting stones

[wooden prawn]

oh right

[drowsy imp]

Don't mind the name of the section, that is the official channel for translation suggestions of any kind.

You have a section to explain why it should be changed, you can add as much detail as you see fit.

[rugged perch]

I sincerely hope the devs would see my idea. Thanks for help!

[wooden prawn]

add thor to the game as a side quest or a side boss 🙏

trust

[drowsy imp]

For game suggestions we have #suggestions

[wooden prawn]

it was js a joke

but tbh it would fit in the game

[tired harness]

No, it would not.

[umbral fog]

thor is in the game already 😉

[rugged perch]

If I ever get a chance to see mine used in game it would be the greatest honor to me!

[wooden prawn]

and he does nothing

js throws lighting or i dont know something

[tired harness]

Yeah, because he has more important, Thor shit to do.

[drowsy imp]

Simmer down, now

[wooden prawn]

yes throwing lighitns whenever its raining

[tired harness]

This isn't Dad of Boy. The goal is not killing gods.

The goal is earning Odin's favor so you can get into Valhalla.
Fighting Thor would be the exact opposite of that goal.

[wooden prawn]

yeah i forgot all this role of valheim

[tired harness]

🙄

[wooden prawn]

tbh valheim could have more content like side quests and more animals cuz this game is kinda emptry

[lament vessel]

what it really needs is robots with laser eyes. and unicorns.

[wooden prawn]

perfect examplke

[lament vessel]

...(sigh)
my head hurts.

[wooden prawn]

robot unicorn race or something? right?

Robot unicorn attack

I had just googled it a minute ago

14 years ago but not too far off 20

ima be real with you guys

i am a nitrogen molecule

[spark canyon]

It's meant to be viking purgatory and thus some people believe the would has to be empty and boring. It's reminiscent of the Reasoning Todd Howard gave, when people complained about how Starfield was empty and boring. He said space exploration is boring and the fact there's nothing on the planets is realistic.

But our wise god gaben said it best: "Realism isn't always fun."

I would love some side quests and more interaction with dvergr and fuling factions.
But there's a few gatekeepers here, who fanatically hold on to the idea, that viking purgatory needs to be boring and that it's a design choice.

[crimson inlet]

It's empty so I can build my big ass city

[marsh sentinel]

It's not empty? We have side quests.

[spark canyon]

We do have a few side quests indeed, but they're all bounty quests, and more side quests would be nice. Maybe even a main quest.

On the other hand, not every game needs a main quest.

[marsh sentinel]

This isn't an MMO.

[spark canyon]

is it an RPG though?

[marsh sentinel]

No.

[frosty walrus]

There is a main quest - kill all the bosses and place their trophies on the sacrificial stones

[umbral fog]

we have that tho, its: "Kill and sacrifice the Forsaken to get to Valhalla." 😉

[zealous anchor]

isnt the whole, kill all the bosses the main quest?

[spark canyon]

Yep

[crimson inlet]

Technically.. maybe

[marsh sentinel]

There are no classes, only a rudimentary skill tree, precious few NPCs and only one that provides quests. It's not an RPG.

[modest moth]

You should all realize that this will become a pointless discussion where it will eventually devolve into "no no I right you all wrong I want them to add what me specifically wants and everything else not related to that is wrong"

So don't bother

[marsh sentinel]

Oh, it's already pointless.

[modest moth]

It has happened way too many times guys, from the very first message it should be obvious

[modest moth]

See? And barely five minutes in

[spark canyon]

Gatekeeper #1 just showed up

[marsh sentinel]

You keep using that word. I don't think it means what you think it does.

[crimson inlet]

I had a mage tower for me
An archery range for our archer
A barracks for our warrior
And a quest lodge for our cartographer
I guess that would count as full rpg

But in my head, rpg is lots of numbers

A lot left to improve on valheim because so many systems built with plains in mind and not updated with the biomes
It's what I think

[spark canyon]

you are correct. I'm gonna have to try to find a new word to describe the behaviour of trying to exagerrate one's own authority over others, simply because someone has played a game for longer or is more experienced, trying to invalidate new player's opinions.

[crimson inlet]

But.. you know
"Game is perfect"

[umbral fog]

Nobody other than you said it was 😉

[marsh sentinel]

But noone is doing that..

[spark canyon]

That's in the eyes of the observer obviously

[marsh sentinel]

Doesn't seem like something that's up for debate. Either they're doing that or not..

[spark canyon]

Ok then you're wrong. The dude has been on his high horse since forever and just over-evaluates his own opinion.

[marsh sentinel]

Ok, and moving on.

[tired harness]

All games are perfect.

[spark canyon]

To some people, the world of Valheim feels too empty.
Others seem to be fine with it. Make of it what you want.

[crimson inlet]

It'll take a long time for the short comings to turn into "charm"

Like running for 30 minutes in classic WoW is part of the charm

But if it came out now like this, it would be completely pooped on

[craggy holly]

The day before....

[tired harness]

It the land between heaven and hel supposed to be brimming with life? (Genuine question)

[crimson inlet]

Right now, these mistakes can be fixed

Only after 10 years would they start being charming

[spark canyon]

I answered this earlier

[tired harness]

Link?

[spark canyon]

#general message

[marsh sentinel]

It's not the land between heaven and hell.

[crimson inlet]

And in the future it'll be "just mod it"

[zealous anchor]

isnt it the land cut off from the world tree

[umbral fog]

It is

Made prison for enemies of Odin

[spark canyon]

That's already the mantra basically. Don't like how stamina works? Mod it.
Don't like that there's no inventory gear slots? Mod it.
Wanna craft 400 sausages without clicking 100 times? Mod it.

[marsh sentinel]

That's true for literally every game.

At least you CAN mod Valheim.

[zealous anchor]

i actually dont have aproblem with sausage production lol

especially less after spending the whole day yesterday irl making sausages

[tired harness]

Starfield poke is literally a dev not being able to admit a mistake 🤷‍♂️ but I get your point.

My counterpoint would be "it is early access." And if I were the man running the show, the priority would be finishing the last biome. Because only after you have the whole picture of the game in place can you go back and see about things like faction systems and such.
Would hate to have one of my people spend months making a robust interaction system only to drop Deep North and then have to have them go back and remake that entire system to account for any new stuff we added.
Just my opinion 🤷‍♂️

[marsh sentinel]

That's like playing Fifa and complaining you can only win by scoring the most goals.

[crimson inlet]

That's when I feel the devs are out of touch
When you see "added 50+ new items this patch" but no where to put them
Or when new build structures are heavier than what you can carry

I don't want to say they don't play their own game
But jeez

[zealous anchor]

ooh boy you went and said it lol

[crimson inlet]

The inventory system was made when? Pre alpha?
Now we're using the same inventory system for all these new biomes and extra items

[spark canyon]

I'll have to disagree there, I've rarely seen as much QoL locked behind mods as in Valheim.
The game is supposed to be hardcore and brutal, I get that, but early game stamina game while mining and tree cutting is just one of the worst experiences I've had in any game.
I didn't drop it because people promised me magic, and from the mistlands on the game really improved.

[crimson inlet]

Lamps still require resin

[marsh sentinel]

Nothing is locked behind mods. They're all optional.

[crimson inlet]

Definitely makes the game balanced imo

If I don't manually put resin in my lamps, the game becomes too easy

[umbral fog]

I wonder if Blues actually plays Valheim or just sits here and complain about devs🤔

[crimson inlet]

Is it wrong to complain?

It'smy genuine opinion when I realized I'm encumbered for trying to craft flametal gate

I'd love to hear it straight of how that's a great idea

"oh but you have to craft it one gate at a time to not be encumbered?"

[spark canyon]

Copypasta from suggestions discussion:
Questioning the developer's decisions might be seen as inpolite, but frankly I hope the developers are mature enough to value any criticism and question their own decisions.

What you're doing is essentially asking me and others not to point out any flaws in the game, which is part of the reasons why suggestions threads like this one exist.

[crimson inlet]

These problems are always flying under the radar for no reason

Now I don't see anywhere in any of the complaint something unreasonable or evil
I geniunely believe it's out of touch

[tardy vale]

you do know that we are all on vacation atm. and this channel get about 10-15000 lines every day right?

[crimson inlet]

And I don't like seeing when someone brings an opinion
It's immediately shunned

[craggy holly]

some things like all the recipes mixed up at crafting stations including cauldron and forge etc they devs said they will address, just not right now when biome 8 is not yet done, maybe they will do that whilst working on biome 8

[crimson inlet]

We only hear player opinions who stand firm on things that shouldn't be changed

[marsh sentinel]

Or that definitely should.

[steep elbow]

Early game. Go play a finished one, and come back in a year or 2.

[crimson inlet]

Like this

[tardy vale]

https://tenor.com/view/all-of-this-pointing-up-there-see-this-gif-14720503

[marsh sentinel]

I don't think that helps. A lot of things that are being complained about here aren't going to change. They're baked into what the game is.

[crimson inlet]

So now I've been told that I don't play valheim
And to play something else

Pick a lane team

[steep elbow]

The point is just, you are criticizing a house being build, where the windows are still not in, and only ½ the roof is on. What do you expect us to say? that you are the heroes we need?

[spark canyon]

Oh yeah it's busy. I never intended to put pressure on anyone and I'm sorry if it sounded that way. Enjoy your vacation. Your game has great potential, but it's still rough around the edges. I wouldn't be here if I disliked it entirely, and sometimes my criticism can be overly negative.

[tired harness]

Smiffe remains the best CM to ever do it 🙏

[crimson inlet]

That's bait

[steep elbow]

Its not. Are we speaking about buying a 70$ game that says its ALL of things and then turns out to be shit, or a 20$ game that says "we are still deving the shit out of this game, its not going to be all you ever wanted in a game"

[crimson inlet]

You're missing the whole picture friend

That's not the point of any of it

You're taking it in another direction
A direction I'm not interested in

[spark canyon]

Fair point. I'm one of the people who the house is being built for and I'm standing there with a beer in hand telling the construction workers to put enough silicon in the windows so it's airtight. Don't take me too serious at all times, I don't either. I'm mostly trying to help but sometimes it derails into being a smartass.

[marsh sentinel]

I love when people join discussion an hour in.

[crimson inlet]

If someone has an opinion, they shouldn't be chastised for it

[spark canyon]

Enjoy your day gentlemen, pleasure to discuss the game with you.

[steep elbow]

Have a really good day.

[modest moth]

Imagine DECIDING to play an unfinished game and then whine about the game being unfinished.

Sounds perfectly rational, doesn't it?

Meowing always in a village

[lean fable]

not enough meowing. i always vacuum them up in every village i pass by, collect an army at home

[tired harness]

They prevent Creeper spawns. So you kind of want them everywhere.

[lean fable]

and like, maybe then type /data merge entity @e[type=cat,limit=1,sort=nearest] {Silent:1b} once or twice

do love the meowing, but wish the tamed meowing included the wild ones they're both cute~

[tired harness]

One does not simply silence a cat.

[finite mortar]

Other than increasing distance, the closest to a silent cat is a purring one.

[lean fable]

you're right, i should just see if i can increase the variety of meows by messing with the sounds.json...not often i get anything to work there.

[gusty hazel]

I'd be willing to bet there would be people who would buy Valheim purely because there was a tameable cat in game (if one was added)

[umbral fog]

i would buy it again 😄

[spark thunder]

Cats are tameable IRL?

[gusty hazel]

Hardly but this is a video game where anything is possible

[finite mortar]

Now, if this was Egyptian mythos, then cats would make a lot of sense. They are aparently the gatekeepers for the underworld. But I don't remember a lot of mentions of the fluffball(s) in viking mythos.

[frosty walrus]

I’d rather have a pet neck than a pet cat

I was more surprised to learn that Vikings had chickens since they are a species native to east Asia, but it seems they got them from trade with the Romans

[umbral fog]

they are not really represented much in myths truth to be told, or at least i cant remember much of them

[gusty hazel]

Glorious chicken. Arguably the greatest livestock ever

[umbral fog]

yep, they give you eggs, they get rid of garbage, and you can also eat them

[gusty hazel]

Can't plow a field with em but man can they sustain lives of a family and they'll eat just about anything

Something, something, Freya being pulled in a sleigh by cats, something, something.

That's the extent of what I remember

[proven dagger]

Freya's chariot was pulled not by horses but by two male cats. Both cats were described as being blue or gray and had been a gift from Thor.

also cats played a part in weddings iirc, something also conected to Freya

[proven dagger]

It is believed by some that kittens were a common wedding gift for the bride in order for her to be able to set up her new household.

why do Gjalls always get a Good morning but the other mobs get no love

[umbral fog]

morgens are also mentioned 😉

Morgen Fallen Valkyrie just isn't the same
