general

[vivid field]

pz is more realistic, sure -- but doesn't have any traps whatsoever (to defend your automations) nor raiding mechanics where zombies pose a serious threat to your base (unless you purposefully choose to set up camp in the middle of west point or louisville or something)

Factorio and 7dtd broadly share those aspects with Valheim -- I'm not sure what "better survival mechanics" PZ would specifically add to the proposed idea of creating a cure via automation -- it essentially goes in exactly the opposite direction design wise.

[marsh sentinel]

A what?

[umbral fog]

somebody didnt read the rules here 😄

[nova umbra]

some new game, keep seeing it on twitch... but why ask here

[marsh sentinel]

Huh, it's a League of Legends fighting game. That sounds like something no-one wanted.

[umbral fog]

so the same case as LoL itself...

[marsh sentinel]

Heh, it's also free to play so I'm confused.

[umbral fog]

eh? now i am too XD

[marsh sentinel]

Oooh, it's still in beta with an invite code.

The last 10 minutes brought to you by Derek randomly Googling things.

[untold night]

TIL the Discord background colour is gelatinous.

[little veldt]

i guess discord doesn't have the concept of "flairs" like reddit does? there's no way to add rock cheese emojis or anything to my name on this discord/

[drowsy imp]

You can request changes to your nickname through modmail or in chat if mods are active

[little veldt]

woo! Thank you! I'll try that

[marsh sentinel]

That's how we got the flower cult.

[little veldt]

ahhh

[little veldt]

so... you're a mod? 🙂 could you do that for me lol

[drowsy imp]

Sure thing~

[little veldt]

rock cheese treelash rock cheese

with the emojis of course

[marsh sentinel]

Well, technically I didn't ask for mine, Smiffe just gave it to me. But as it's a different flower I feel special.

[little veldt]

i really think rock cheese really personifies how i play this game lol

[untold night]

Or the mods can just change your nickname at their whim. Some folks need a little 'Uncle Ben' wisdom...

[fresh condor]

On the Mac App Store version, what is the key for hiding the HUD?

[silent sonnet]

what is the difference in hosting a Community server vs just regular hosting?

[spark thunder]

Public vs private, I believe (could be wrong).

[final dirge]

Hey guys what is the server everyone is playing on?

[crimson yacht]

The community servers are typically hosted using the Valheim Dedicated Server application instead of the Valheim game client. They have been started in public mode (i.e. with the -public argument so that they will appear in community servers list.

[spark thunder]

There's no one server that everyone plays on. If you're looking to join a server, you want #1024264966712340510

[final dirge]

Oh okay cool

[modest moth]

FAI (for anyone's information): There is a bundle to buy essentially the entirety of the Borderlands saga in steam for around €36.

And originally the whole bundle costs +660

[tacit kindle]

When connecting to my friend's server, I get the error "Connection failed." No matter what I do, I can't fix it. Can anyone help?

[marsh sentinel]

Hm... https://store.steampowered.com/app/1564600/The_Last_Plague_Blight/

[dense abyss]

Have you played Satisfactory?

[dense abyss]

I gotta check this out. VEIN is another one.

Ideally it would have ALL of the vehicles. Land, air, sea.

[marsh sentinel]

That's some work.

[dense abyss]

Yeah it is. I was really inspired by some early Quake mods that did some similar things.

And the great thing about living in 2024 is a lot of these problems are already solved. There are existing solutions to many formerly thorny programming issues.

And you can build a fun and immersive game world but if it has a crappy UI, no one will want to play it. That problem remains unsolved in the larger scope - we have lots of UI patterns but a lot of them are oriented around business applications and using them in games breaks immersion.

Plus the problem of mouse+keyboard vs gamepad. Valheim has done a capable job of addressing some of those problems but I still think the gamepad interface is less-than.

[vivid field]

yes

[vivid field]

ehh, dwarf fortress has a cult following despite it's notoriously horrific UI. but yes, good UIs are hard to do and important to allow players to feel good while playing the game

a lot of games made primarily for console and ported later to PC suffer really badly from their really awful UI/UX

[dense abyss]

"Raids" would work similarly to Project Zomboid. One of the story elements is the virus makes the zombies super sensitive to light and sound. They can't see much in the day because the sun blinds them but they can hear really well.

And I cite those games as inspiration, not necessarily copying their elements (though I have no qualms lifting some of the ideas directly)

As I'm sure the IG guys would attest to - ideas are a dime-a-dozen. Execution is the difficult part.

[dense abyss]

Did you play this one? It and Vein both have downloadable demos. Turns out Vein is just a 2-person team.

[marsh sentinel]

Not yet, but I'd like to give it a go.

[dense abyss]

I'm gonna check it out.

I gotta give VEIN another try. I was flummoxed by the UI and didn't have lots of time to mess with it.

[copper vector]

Guys, do a alot of people know that dvergrs from mistlands, know about haldor

i didn't fully see what they where talking about but i saw then say something about haldor

[ornate tartan]

Yep, Haldor and Hildir are dvergrs as well
Once saw such replica also and also can't remember what exactly they said xD

[tired harness]

Hildir romance subplot when?

[velvet thunder]

morning

we need diving suit in valheim

[half compass]

Can we expect deep north at the end of next year? I know it's early but me and my friends are eager. But the 2 year plan to complete the game is already busted? Do you have any plans for the future for valheim after that?.

[modest moth]

"I know it's early"

Then you already know the answer without needing to ask

And the plans after DN is bugfixing and tweaking, nothing else

[marsh sentinel]

What 2 year plan?

[half compass]

It was said in one of the fireplace talks

[lyric solstice]

Do you guys think there will be a new biome or something after ashlands? 😁

Oh.. I see you already spoke about it lol

[tardy vale]

that one is out of the window since may 2021

[dark otter]

Deep north

[copper vector]

Oh daym

[faint jay]

so what happens if one travels far north in the game currently+

[vivid field]

barren tundra of snowy hills? it's been a while since I've explored up there

[modest moth]

Sarcasm.

Whether is widely known or not unclear but it's not strange that they know about him. Same race and it's not like there's many dvergr in valheim anyway

[copper vector]

yeah true

ive now turned my starbound into space stardew valley

Remove the Ashlands

And another servers?

[umbral fog]

What other servers?

[nocturne tendon]

How can I remove th Ashlands in another server

I hate ashlands!!!!!

[umbral fog]

Then dont go in them? Its kinda easy to avoid them...

#suggestions

[timid tartan]

Is there like a roadmap for this game? Curious how long till deep north etc

Not meming, just curious

[shy stump]

There’s no roadmap no, and no timelines.

[timid tartan]

😦

Oh well

[shy stump]

If you ask when Deep North will be out, the answer will be “when it’s ready “

[timid tartan]

Probably similar to time period between mistlands and ashlands presumably?

Well enough said

[shy stump]

Yeah I think a couple of years, but who knows.

[umbral fog]

However long it takes there will be people who will be fine with waiting and people who will want it NOW 😄

[wheat agate]

Hello Valzheimer's!
So I've just started playing, and I'm trying to figure out the restrictions and capabilities of building. I'm in early game, so I don't have access to iron. What I'd like to do is build a house and a basement, but I'd like to do this without the basement being considered the supporting structure/Blue pieces. How might this be accomplished?

[celest spear]

Noooo, how will I get my boars???

[vivid field]

when you dig your basement hole, just don't have it extend past the exterior walls, if I'm understanding your question

[wheat agate]

That makes sense. That way, the ground continues to support the overlying structure, and the basement is just a hole in the ground. Ok, perfect! Thank you!

[shy stump]

so you get a nice even hole, use your hoe once to find the grid line nicely. That way you can align it properly

[fervent stirrup]

[cosmic bear]

how is there millions of people in here and only one meekly occupied vc?

[marsh sentinel]

a) 100,000 isn't millions b) It's the middle of the night for most of us and c) The VCs are never particularly that popular. Most people use their own servers to play.

[rugged stag]

D) All of the above

Did I get the correct answer?

[marsh sentinel]

I hadn't meant it to be a multiple choice question but yes.

[shell crag]

[tepid lintel]

hallo

[wheat agate]

i just joined a friends server, one is who is quite experienced at the game. i have a preference to go through the game step-wise, advancing as I progress naturally, but after joining his server and getting the tour of his base, it unlocked a ton of stuff on my character that I haven't progressed through yet. now i have all these recipes etc unlocked that i can't even begin to build. this is displeasing to me. can I undo this, removing all the unlocks that really shouldn't have been unlocked for me yet? i'm assuming no, but i am really hoping there might be a way.

[untold night]

Create a new character

[frosty walrus]

Use the resetknownitems command

[wheat agate]

oh, ok! cool! im not sure how to do commands though

[frosty walrus]

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

[wheat agate]

ty!

[wheat agate]

Is there a way to force my character to be saved? I don't care about the world so much, but my character I would like to be able to save it's progress more frequently. I'll be playing on a server that doesn't allow mods

[faint jay]

yes press the menu button and press save

[spark thunder]

Sadly, that doesn’t always force a save.

I believe logging out is the only way to truly force a save.

[somber arch]

Does anyone remember the valhiem discord server hack?
Was pretty terrible.

[hasty violet]

yeah they used Bofa.exe, pretty terrible stuff

[sudden silo]

I don't recall that but I remember the reason why they turned on phone verification

[untold night]

I recall that the Discord server hack went flat. It was a disharmonious effort. Interference was generally more destructive than constructive. It was just a phase.

[sudden silo]

Idk. i just remember that they turned phone verification on because someone got banned from the server and started making IRL threats to mods in DM's

[untold night]

Clearly nobody here has any kind of acoustician or musician.

[sudden silo]

I recognize the terminology but the joke didn't track with me so I just kinda thought you were being eloquent

Your wit is quite sharp though. Truly raises the bar.

Figured a follow through was a good way to end on a high note.

Was that cruel and unusual....pun-ishment?

[tardy vale]

phone verification has been forced for a long time since people keept re-making discord accounts just to harass developers, moderators, other users or just spread very disturbing things

[sudden silo]

Yeah I remember we spoke about it a long time ago in DM's. Dude send yall a DM with a pic of a gun back in like 2021

[tardy vale]

yeah

he just wanted to continue to talk smack to people in VC

which forced us to add a bunch of rules and things

[sudden silo]

Dude was unhinged. I rememb er the server was pretty wild at times back then

That said, I remember also having a LOT of awesome conversations with people here about a LOOOOT of different subjects and no one ever argued or fought

[tardy vale]

well the more people, the more trolls

[sudden silo]

We'd have like 20 people in a call sometimes just conversing and gaining knowledge together. Damn shame that came to an end

That was like the first few months after the game came out

[tardy vale]

yea

then some people who didn't care about rules or the what the reason we have a server was for

they just wanted to be duchebags

I remember insta-banning so many people from VC's

internet really needs a "you need to be this mature to enter"

[sudden silo]

Lol I remember you dropping into my VC's a few times just to listen in

[tardy vale]

I still do that since we reversed the VC rules

people still use VC's now since it doesn't require greydwarf role to join

[hasty violet]

Man and i thought trolls in valheim were annoying

[sudden silo]

Good times man. Tbh this game was the last game community I got deeply involved in

[tardy vale]

it was fun. but trolls like to destroy fun

[sudden silo]

I didn't have a cell phone at the time the verification got turned on so I wasn't around for awhile. Last thing I did was suggest coin stacking right as a cosmetic thing and yall actually implimented it, so that was dope

I remember the suggestion chat and no one had suggested that one and as soon as I did like a bajillion people like reacted on it

[tardy vale]

😉

[hasty violet]

Yeah, out of all games ive played i have to say, Valheim and its devs are a gift: Good game, good company, devs that listen to their playerbase and a fun(?) community. Been playing Valheim since launch and i love it

[sudden silo]

Bought the game the night it dropped on pure blind faith with almost no knowledge of what it was

[hasty violet]

Thats the best way tbh

[sudden silo]

Hooked. Instantly. Over 200 hours in the first month

[hasty violet]

played lots of survival crafting games and valheim always peaks

[sudden silo]

I've only done that 3 times. This game, Foxhole, and Deep Rock Galactic. Got all 3 while they were new and fairly cheap and all 3 freaking rock

[hasty violet]

just such a unique world (duh )and gameplay

[tardy vale]

sometimes faith in games pay of

[hasty violet]

Foxhole 😮 man the trenches, armored anti personnel incoming!

[mystic fiber]

valheim does food better than the other survival games

being able to run around starving but OK is wonderful

[sudden silo]

<tank man in Foxhole but recently quit playing due to degenerate clans ruining the community

[hasty violet]

I agree it gives freedom to the player in terms of character control

you can have lots of stamina or lots of health or a bit of both

[sudden silo]

Jams and sausage man. Easy to make and keeps you decently healthy

[hasty violet]

I feel ya its gotten bad, on the other hand, Rock and Stone!!

[mystic fiber]

sausages are goated

[sudden silo]

Did I hear a rock and stone?!

I may make a fresh world today. My old save file is still intact but it's on an old world seed that hasn't been updated if I'm not mistaken

[tardy vale]

doesn't update? 🤔

valheim will always update

[sudden silo]

It gave me some message about legacy save files or something

I may have misunderstood it

[tardy vale]

it's just that your save is on the old C:\ folder

[hasty violet]

I just now noticed you are one of the devs, praise be!

[tardy vale]

https://tenor.com/view/workaholics-blake-anderson-blake-henderson-fur-sure-for-sure-gif-4276923

[sudden silo]

Oh for real? Dope. Still might make a new world just to relive it tbh

[tardy vale]

yeah. you don't even have to do much. it should do everything automaticly

just.... don't click or interupt it 😄

[sudden silo]

Hell yeah. I was offline for like....3 years or so. Long story short: Cancer sucks, hug your mothers. Back with a vengeance though after my Steam sat idle for all that time

I turned into the "Friend last online x years ago" meme

Was kinda hesitating to start back on Valheim because I thought I'd have to start 100% fresh or just use creative controls to get back to where I was

[tardy vale]

we have added like a trillion things to the game since then

world modifiers after alot of people wanting to play harder / easier than what we developers deem to be "normal" 😄

[sudden silo]

I've followed the news about the game quite a bit. Couldn't play but was stoked to see the game doing well. I was cheering from the shadows lol

[tardy vale]

and modifiers can be changed multiple times

[sudden silo]

Lol, normal/easy. Pfft. Bring back the OG deathsquitos

[tardy vale]

😄

[sudden silo]

Let em see what hard actually looks like LMAO

[tardy vale]

insta-gib squitos

[sudden silo]

Agroing from planetoid to planetoid because one tiiiiiny patch of plains happened to be by the water you were sailing on and a deathsquito took that as a personal offence

Yall should bring that back for April 1st next year just for the day

Just put a news update up saying "Back by popular demand, the OG deathsquito returns! After drawing inspiration for community outreach from industry juggernauts like EA and Riot Games, we here at Iron Gate have listened to community feedback and decided to buff the deathsquito to its former glory! You asked, we listened!"

[flint osprey]

Now give them the ability to multiple every 10 in-game days

[untold night]

10 in-game days is (I think) 4.5 hours in real time.

[glacial dagger]

What happened to deathquitos?

[tardy vale]

they litterally exploded you

now they just kill you pretty much

[hexed drift]

they used to be an actual threat

[tardy vale]

dodgeroll or die 😄

fun times

[flint osprey]

If I see something
I don't fear it
I hate mistlands a bit that's why

[mystic fiber]

they were a nuisance till the root armor got added

[tired harness]

If you can dodge a squito, you can dodge a ball.

[nova umbra]

once i forgot to equip root harnesk as I was going from mountains with full silver (as there's no mob with piercing dmg) and lost 80% of hp instantly to 2 of them 💀

and im on hard difficulty, which is +50% dmg i think

[hexed drift]

yeah... on hard resistances are king

[zealous wolf]

hey, my friend and i were playing on the prt before ashlands and would like to keep playing, our world shws up fine as does my character, but his does not. looking in back ups theres backups for his charater but they dont seem to work, it does not display any error message, hes just not able to see or select his character.

[marsh sentinel]

PTB characters won't work on live versions.

[wheat agate]

hrmph. so 8 meters down is the maximum you can dig. i thought that was from some kind of defined zero point. but it turns out that is relative to the ground you are standing on? whats up with that? if i want to build a straight basement but i started to build it on a hill, then evenutally the floor of the basement starts to slope up! that's just not cool!

[frosty walrus]

You could make a shorter basement, it doesn’t need to be 8 metres tall

[wheat agate]

i know, but still, i'm making a fairly sizable dungeon/cellar. i have to be able to fit. i can't have one corner be 1 meter deep so that the other corner can be 6 meters

[zealous anchor]

then you gotta find some flat terrain

[vivid field]

water is defined from a "zero point" -- the land is as well in a way with a heightmap defining most of the terrain, but modifications to that terrain are 8m from the initial default elevation of the heightmap.

useful to keep in mind when scoping out building sites

[tardy vale]

8 meter up and down maximum

[wheat agate]

well, one thing i can do is raise terrain to raise the "relative zero point" for my house

then i can have some cool stairs leading up to the house!

now, i'm in a friends server, but he's across the world. is there a way to chat in game when someone is far from you?

[tardy vale]

yeah. shout

/s message

[wheat agate]

ok. cool. thats all? i can shout all the way across the map? lol

[tardy vale]

yup

[frosty walrus]

That doesn’t work long distance, you need to be nearby to see the ping

[wheat agate]

i think it would be AWESOME to not have the 8m restriction--build a mines of mordor type structure in the mountains!

[frosty walrus]

With the heightmap terrain that wouldn’t go very well

[wheat agate]

im not sure what that means exactly

[tardy vale]

we don't allows for tunnels

[frosty walrus]

You cant have multiple layers of terrain above each other

[wheat agate]

ok, so restricted by game design. got it.

[frosty walrus]

Isn’t that what game design is supposed to do?

[tardy vale]

yup. and from gameplay perspective. we don't want players to build into tunnels

[wheat agate]

now, here's yet another question! why am i encountering enemies in biomes that they aren't supposed to be in? like, i just got killed by a fuling in the meadows, and i keep running into trolls in the meadows as well

[tardy vale]

you play with a friend, right?

[wheat agate]

yes

[tardy vale]

and what bosses is killed?

[frosty walrus]

At night more enemies can spawn depending on defeated bosses

[wheat agate]

oh, it looks like all the ones around the starting one

sorry, all the ones surrounding the st arting area

[tardy vale]

when Yagluth dies, it will start spawning fulings patrols all over the place

[wheat agate]

ah! ok

i need to have my friend unkill yagluth then

😉

[tardy vale]

yeah. please ressurect Yaggie

[frosty walrus]

Trolls can’t spawn in meadows, they’d have to come from black forests

[wheat agate]

thats a possibility. i feel like i might have been near the black forest, but its happened 3 or 4 times now--attacked by trolls... in the meadows

[tardy vale]

you guys run any mods?

but trolls can go into medows, from black forrest if they hear something (pickaxing or wood cutting)

[wheat agate]

nah, he doesn't allow it

yeah, every time ive been attacked its when im chopping wood. EVERY time

just leave me alone! i just need this one tree! stupid troll

[frosty walrus]

Chopping trees makes a sound with a long range, so it will attract enemies over a long distance

[tardy vale]

best tip I can give you

listen to what Hugin tells you

[wheat agate]

ok. he hasn't told me anything in some time though, lol!

in fact, i JUST entered the mountain for my first time ever, and Munin didn't come warn me i wasn't ready. i feel like he probably would have, just like the first time i entered black forest

or does he not warn you about the freezing mechanic?

[tardy vale]

he.. slows down over time

[wheat agate]

ok. cool. ty!

[spark thunder]

You can access everything he's told you in the past, too, in case you missed anything.

[wheat agate]

is it a thing that my fists do less damage as i progress? because when i first loaded in and starting punching greylings, it was 2-3 hits to kill. now its 5-6 and my fists are level 10. doesn't make any sense

[marsh sentinel]

You're right, that wouldn't make any sense.

[wheat agate]

so why is it happening?

[marsh sentinel]

I don't know. I've never seen any report that before.

[mild heron]

Are you confusing greyling with greydrawfs? 😻

[wheat agate]

nope

[mild heron]

Are you counting the third hit as a greater hit? 🫨

[lean fable]

it's only 2 hits per combo on fists

(but that doesn't change your point)

[mild heron]

Ohh my bad haha

[wheat agate]

im not sure what that means. im counting total hits; total punches that landed

[mild heron]

Ahhh punches do different amounts of damage depending on the punch that lands. Some are heavy blows while others are normal hits.

[small badge]

Are you counting hits while the greyling is staggered?
You do significantly more damage and get a special sound affect when hitting a staggered enemy.

[lean fable]

yea, x2 damage on a staggered enemy and another x2 damage on every second (left hand) punch

[mild heron]

Does that mean my Valheim character is left handed? 🫨

[tidal spruce]

lf a chill community server to muck about in

[drowsy imp]

#1024264966712340510 is the place to browse for that

[flint osprey]

Uh I think leveling the fists just reduces the stam usage

[wheat agate]

what is stam?

[flint osprey]

Stamina

[wheat agate]

oh, duh 🙂

[flint osprey]

Idk maybe it does increase your ability too ig

🤷 let others confirm it

[soft tartan]

All weapon skills increase the damage of the weapon when leveled

[flint osprey]

I never depended on skill level tbh

[spark thunder]

As you shouldn't.

[prisma prism]

Hello, anybody knows if the stagbreaker still its usefull for finding silver?

I saw a video that saids that now if u hit silver it will appear a 0 dmg on the screen instead of a too hard

and also, if the snow biome its to close to the spawn does it still have silver?

[soft tartan]

Mountains need to be a certain height to start spawning silver, and near spawn mountains usually don’t get that high

[prisma prism]

Okaay thanks, ima try digging on the tallest part of the mountain

[soft tartan]

If you get the wishbone from killing the swamp boss it’ll ping when you’re above silver which is the best way of finding it

[prisma prism]

Yeah i know, but i dont really want to fight bonebass

Its too far away and i always find it to tanky cus i use swords

[flint osprey]

Then don't use swords maybe 🥲

[frosty walrus]

I always make a level 1 mace if I’m using a different main weapon, but my main weapon is often mace for the knockback and secondary stagger

[prisma prism]

Well, i was using sword because i use bronce axe usually, my friend just got a iron sword so i got his bronce sword, but it feels like a waste to make a iron mace right now

[ornate pilot]

skibidi valheim

[ornate pilot]

iron mace goated

maces used to be the meta for generally all enemies sometime pre-mistlands

at that point almost no enemy had blunt resistance so frostner was a very good all around weapon

[zealous anchor]

frostner isa terrible mace though

the only good thing about the frostner is the frost and spirit damage but the blunt damage of it is inconsequential

[ornate pilot]

well yeah if it didnt have any other effects itd be nonsense

[crimson inlet]

Iron mace 👌

can you please stop posting pictures of me 😄

moin everyone

[hasty violet]

is this a bot?

[frosty walrus]

Possibly, it sent the same message in multiple channels immediately after joining the server

[tardy vale]

or just a scammer 🤔

we shall see very soon

[untold wigeon]

How do i find the mountain boss?

[hard iron]

Best place to ask is #valheim-help , but look for the frost caves and stone castles, that's where the vegvisirs tend to be

[flint osprey]

It took me 45 min to beat Queen

[robust raft]

nice

[copper vector]

guys, if i spend 120hr in @valhiem and defeated first 5 bosses 2 times, is that impressive or no?

[robust raft]

damn

[copper vector]

is that good or no

[modest moth]

Why does it matter?

[copper vector]

no just i dont know if that good or of i can do better

[frosty walrus]

There is more to being good at valheim than defeating bosses fast

[copper vector]

alright thanks

[robust raft]

sounds gud to me, though my hours and time testing is all skewed. you could check out speedrunning stuff if ur interested in that

[copper vector]

oh no i want speedrunning i got in some desent builds in too

[tardy vale]

I'd like to see you spend 120h in valheim 😄

[nova umbra]

not really

u can rush bosses pretty fast honestly if u dont build any nice base or explore

[copper vector]

alright

thanks

[gray plover]

hi a gaint spider killed me and my friend as soon as we arrived the ashland who can help us retrieve our stuff

[marsh sentinel]

There are no spiders in the game.

[frosty walrus]

A morgen maybe?

[marsh sentinel]

Hm, I guess that's spider like.

[gray plover]

the thing that rolls like a ball

[zinc blaze]

is the valheim world generator real and is it accurate

[gray plover]

i need someone strong

and can bring the materials to craft the boat that can reach the ashland without burning

[frosty walrus]

If you're talking about https://valheim-map.world, yes

[zinc blaze]

and are all the traders the same?

[gray plover]

please the spider thing ratioed me and my friend

[frosty walrus]

Only one of each trader can spawn. When one spawn point is loaded, the others are disabled.
Hildir and Haldor sell different items and you expand their stock in different ways.

[zinc blaze]

so if i use the map and go to hildar for example the other hildars will disappear or will i go to a point in the map and not find her

[zealous anchor]

first of all hilder is a she and secondly if you find her at one place she will always be at that place you found her

[frosty walrus]

The first point you visit is guaranteed to spawn the trader, then all others for that same trader are disabled

[zinc blaze]

thank you and im sorry i didnt know

[zinc blaze]

i found hilder and she only has clothes and sparkles

is that all or do i unlock more when i buy things

[stray grove]

My friend can't connect to my server. What can I try to do?

[wooden idol]

that's mostly all, the quests (read her map) increase the list of stuff

[tardy vale]

don't use VPN

or him

[stray grove]

Okay, good tip 🫡

[spark thunder]

They’re frogs, no?

[spark thunder]

Not when you buy (or sell) things.

What did she tell you?

[zinc blaze]

idk go get my stuff i think

[stray grove]

Still can't connect. Logs aren't specifying why...

[tardy vale]

his log probably says why

[spark thunder]

Did you look at the thing she told you to look at?

[zinc blaze]

yup but its in the plains

[marsh sentinel]

Huh? She has three sets of locations. One in Black Forest, one in Mountains, one in Plains.

[zealous anchor]

pretty sure my hilder spawn was alos in the meadows

[marsh sentinel]

Well, HER spawn is, yeah, but we're talking her quest locations.

[zealous anchor]

oh

[rugged stag]

I will say reading this it implies her original trader location 😛

but now we know you meant the questing locations, it also makes sense

[marsh sentinel]

I meant it, but more importantly so did the person asking for help.

[rugged stag]

look at me jumping in without a hello

Howdy 👋

[zinc blaze]

i think so too but its way to far thats why

idk what im saying but ye

[ocean nymph]

hey how about you god damn nerf ashlands man?

[limber spire]

what's so bad in the ashlands??

[frosty walrus]

Shen

[ocean nymph]

the fact that it goes from casual gameplay to darksouls if dark souls had 3x the spawn rates and you had to mine resources while fighting the enemies and the stamina is like 10x worse in valheim

oh ye and i forgot to mention having endgame armor means shit when asksvins still chunk 1/4 of your hp with 1 attack,

[tardy vale]

https://tenor.com/view/carthus-sandworm-dark-souls-solaire-worm-gif-1433137170884699942

[limber spire]

bring the rescources along to build a fort around what you are mining, then just constantly repair rather than fight

[ocean nymph]

still tho the pacing makes 0 sense, and doesnt fit valheim at all, specially with the weird darksouls type attacks from warriors, which idk why was that even implemented

i can parry them, but its just why

[limber spire]

or, campfire the crap out of the ashlands, the radius of the campfire will disable spawning until it is broken

[ocean nymph]

ye but like thats like super cringey, thats essentially exploiting just yk, legally

[limber spire]

but it works

[ocean nymph]

man thats like saying, just download a mod that makes you immportal, cause it works

[tardy vale]

You assault ashlands and it's ment to be hell

[ocean nymph]

i assault literally every other biome just as much

[frosty walrus]

It’s also the endgame, it’s supposed to be hard. You’re supposed to die a few times while you’re learning.

[ocean nymph]

still yall are missing the point, there is a difference between hard. Something that is hard you can overtime learn how to beat, like bosses in souls games. With valheim you cant "learn" this, its just impossible to deal with a swarm of 50 enemies unless you deal with them 1 by 1 which takes god damn an hour, and guess what, even if you kill all they will just respawn soon

[frosty walrus]

I’ve already told you, the public test has reduced spawn rates. If there are too many enemies you can play that version.

[ocean nymph]

your only choice is to run away, quite literally beating the boss of ashlands is easier than mining

[spark thunder]

The problem is, people aren't dying "a few times" they're dying many times. Over and over. That's basically why my friend (who got me into the game) has stopped playing.

[modest moth]

https://tenor.com/view/what-are-you-challenging-me-scooby-doo-shaggy-matthew-lillard-gif-17770189

spends 121 hours

[ocean nymph]

nah, no mods there

should be hotfixed anyway

literally before ive even reached ashlands ive seen more people complain about it rather than talk positive about it

[frosty walrus]

A major balance change would need testing first, they can’t just release something like that instantly. Many testers were unhappy with the nerfs.

[ocean nymph]

bro, its called hotfixing

[frosty walrus]

Fixing is for what’s broken

[ocean nymph]

also

[ocean nymph]

clearly ashlands had 0 testing in the first place if they released in the state that it is right now

[limber spire]

bro, just learn to deal with it like all the other players out there, we've given solutions

[lament vessel]

lol

[frosty walrus]

Like most updates, ashlands was in a public test phase for a while before it released.

[limber spire]

bro, it's still early access technically, so it's not released yet

[ocean nymph]

ah yes. gotta love the solutions being straight up exploits

[spark thunder]

The two friends that got me into the game have like 1000 hours each. They played upto Mistlands previously. And we started a new world, got all the way to Ashlands, and it broke them. One plays very occasionally now. The other I don't know if they'll ever play again.

[frosty walrus]

You could also use world modifiers to make the game easier for you

[ocean nymph]

i mean ye but like

[limber spire]

bro, if you don't want solutions don't ask for them

[ocean nymph]

should be a normal difficulty instead of having to use mods

like i get if i would be playing on hardcore, but im not

[ocean nymph]

i dont want solutions that straight up ruin the game, i want balancing

[red bloom]

since when do we need exploits to do the ashlands

[frosty walrus]

It is balanced to be difficult. Intentionally.

[frosty walrus]

We don’t

[red bloom]

I'd say its reasonably challenging

[ocean nymph]

the bonfire exploit

[lament vessel]

valheim is a game that scales. the beginning is easy and the end is hard. this is a good thing. if you want an easy game stay in meadows or use the world modifiers. 🤷‍♂️

[ocean nymph]

bro thats not balancing lmao

[red bloom]

idk what bonfire exploit is

[spark thunder]

Of course they were. I play test board games, and we experience a similar thing. Regular play testers quickly become experts at the game and attain an unrealistic sense of the game's difficulty. Then the game goes to public tests, people complain, and the designer(s) make changes that the regulars don't like.

[frosty walrus]

A game doesn’t have to be baby easy mode by default

[red bloom]

but its certainly not needed to fight there

[ocean nymph]

thats not even a thing bro wym, straight up bonemass is by far the hardest boss in the game, and mountain isnt harder than plains, and plains isnt harder than mistlands, theyre mostly on par

[ocean nymph]

are the regions before ashlands baby easy mode? no

[frosty walrus]

The game is supposed to get harder as you progress

[ocean nymph]

only dark ofrest and meadows are essentially easy, then gets harder on swamp and from swamp it just gets easier until ashlands

[lament vessel]

...
ok

[ocean nymph]

like legit no boss until ashlands comes even close to bonemass

[frosty walrus]

Bonemass is easy if you use poison resistance mead

[ocean nymph]

wdym "gets harder as you progress", it doesnt get harder, you just need better equipment, but that doesnt mean the biomes get harder

[ocean nymph]

even with poison resistance bro bonemass is still harder than legit every other boss in the game

ignoring ashlands

[scenic wing]

I mean, enemies attack faster as you progress, I feel like that falls into the ‘getting harder’ category yeah?

[ocean nymph]

thats not even a thing, fulings and greydwarfs literally have same ai

[frosty walrus]

Starred enemies definitely feel stronger in later biomes. 2-star draugr and greydwarves are barely a threat but 2-star seekers are almost impossible to block and parry

[scenic wing]

Maybe similar, but Fulings ranged attack is a lot faster than a greydwarf rock, would you agree?

And aren’t Fulings faster?

[spark thunder]

Fulings are way faster

[ocean nymph]

i mean yea but like still, not really much of a difference there, still its simple to parry them and it aint an issue for the most part

1 parry kills them either way, in ashlands man it doesnt matter if you parry because there will be 10 other enemies around you ready to 1 shot you the second you m1

[spark thunder]

There for sure is in an increase in a range of factors that could be described, collectively, as 'difficulty'. But there is a definite step up at Mistlands (due to reduced visibility and increased verticality). And then another, bigger, step up going into Ashlands.

[frosty walrus]

So just don’t parry them then

[ocean nymph]

if you mine that is, ashlands for the most part isnt an issue, but mining in ashlands is a straight up nightmare

[ocean nymph]

yye youre right, i should just leave the game, best counter

[frosty walrus]

Tower shields exist, it’s entirely possible to play without parrying

[ocean nymph]

tower shields are straight uo garbafge

[frosty walrus]

All shields are good if used correctly

[red bloom]

parrying costs a lot of stamina, there are times when its better not to parry

[ocean nymph]

tower shields are much worse than the other 2 types

[spark thunder]

It's like the move from BF to Swamp - you're having to deal with a significant change in environmental effects and enemy behaviour.

[ocean nymph]

bro you can adapt to swamp, adapting to ashlands while mining isnt a thing

[spark thunder]

I'm not disagreeing with you

[ocean nymph]

you just gotta face the fact that you have to run and do nothing about it

[red bloom]

I think part of what makes earlier biomes easier is that you can overprepare a bit, its easier to visit them out of order if you want

[ocean nymph]

as if i dont legit have endgame gear lmao

[red bloom]

visit a mountain to make some frost arrows that work great in the swamp for example

[frosty walrus]

They’re very good at splitting groups and also cost the least stamina to block with. They most benefit a playstyle focused on dodging attacks entirely and staggering through damage. If you really want to parry for the free stagger, you can unequip the shield and use your weapon.

[red bloom]

I dont mean doing entire biomes out of order

[spark thunder]

Though, I do think you can adapt, it's just a much bigger adaptation. So it is more that it's much harder to adapt.

[red bloom]

I didn't find the swamp that hard in my first playthrough and I assume a part of it was access to frost arrows

[ocean nymph]

i mean not even gonna lie im not even mad about ashlands, its just mining is down right autistic

[spark thunder]

Can we not do that?

[ocean nymph]

do what

[spark thunder]

"down right autistic"

[ocean nymph]

tičulica

[craggy holly]

Imo Queen is harder then Bonemass, but what would I know only got 2100h, also it is somewhat subjective.

[red bloom]

I felt the same

[craggy holly]

Ashlands boss I only fought 3 times and feels easier than Queen but I think I need to fight him more to really form a proper opinion

[stray grove]

It ended up being that Steam has this nasty habit of putting me in offline status. So changing it to online made it possible to connect.

[craggy holly]

and Moder IMHO her difficulty is entirely reliant on what spawn you get, if there is natural cover and the rest of the arena is flat, it's super easy, if its on a hillside and just all cliffs and no cover its a lot harder (yes I know you can prepare the terrain to suit you)

[frosty walrus]

I make a terrain pillar but otherwise the natural terrain is always good enough

[craggy holly]

for experienced players certainly but terrain is important for Moder, I'd argue it makes an even bigger difference then some water in the Bonemass area

[raven tapir]

Hi guys, I need help solving an issue, so me and my friend are in deferent versions of the game, me on 0.218.17 and my friend on 0.218.19 and we can’t play together, he is on pc and me on Xbox series s, and he plays on Xbox app

[frosty walrus]

You’re in the public test but your friend isn’t

[umbral fog]

The .17 Is currently in ptb and .19 Is live version

[raven tapir]

Ok, how do I change to the live version?

[frosty walrus]

[raven tapir]

[zinc blaze]

do days matter?

[little veldt]

no

[zinc blaze]

is there a faster way to pick up crops

[craggy holly]

carrots, turnips and onions, no, flax and barley yes

flax and barley can be harvested faster with atgeir or iron sledge etc

[zinc blaze]

ok thanks

[spark thunder]

Well, there is a fast (and a slow) way to harvest those other crops too. But it’s so obvious you may have found it already…

Instead of repeatedly pressing E to pick the crop, hold it down instead, then walk through the crops sweeping left-to-right.

[zinc blaze]

i didnt realize i could do that

[errant token]

Do I need Ashland structure to get comfort ? Cus I used regular wood built inside the fortress and no comfort at all

[spark thunder]

Glad I mentioned it then. 🙂

[spark thunder]

Did you give the fortress a roof?

[errant token]

Yes. U know the center tall tower? I built the regular wood roof. Cover whole thing inside with regular wood all and floor and still no comfort

That’s why I dunno if I need everything from Ashland structure in order to get comfort. Also I built generator and it has been working

[spark thunder]

Is it showing you as sheltered at the top of the screen?

[errant token]

The original center tower is showing shelter before I start building with regular woods. I covered it with wood roof top, walls and floor as well

[spark thunder]

I don’t know then. Haven’t tried setting up anything other than an outpost in Ashlands.

[solar sage]

is spwaning itemps safe for my file? We lost black core and refined eitr due to a bug and i wish to make it right

[lament vessel]

do you have a fire?

[errant token]

Ohhhhh

I forgot lol

[ancient verge]

Is there a way to tie off a boat?

[drowsy imp]

There isn't, and there's normally no need: an empty boat will automatically anchor itself

It might bob up and down with waves, but unless there's something actively pushing it it shouldn't move anywhere horizontally

[crimson inlet]

Yeah probably
You can spawn it in your own offline world if you're worried

[left zodiac]

any good way to find big mountaiuns?

[finite mortar]

Lots of sailing or the map viewer. The wider the mountain on map viewer, the greater chance it is tall.

[left zodiac]

how do i do map viewer

[finite mortar]

It is one of the pinned messages but if you search "valheim map" online, it should come up.

[left zodiac]

can i still do it if im playing on a dedicated server that i didnt make?

[finite mortar]

Should be able to. Minimum you will need the seed code. It should be listed somewhere.

[severe tendon]

I don't believe you can veiw a map if you don't have the seed, and most servers hide that from non-admins

In general, tall mountains are not hard to find. The center of the map of most seeds will have large mountains close, but maybe not the tallest on the map.

What is your goal? Silver, epic build location, something else?

[split zodiac]

has any of the #suggestions been added to the game?
if not have they been put on a "considered" list?

[left zodiac]

not large at all

i just want silver

3 mountains gave 3 veins of silver,

1 mountain had 0

[umbral fog]

As far as i know many were added

[oblique nimbus]

https://tenor.com/view/squidward-valheim-the-forest-the-forest-is-moving-raid-gif-27317778

[severe tendon]

Shared servers suffer from resource depletion if there are more than a few people and if the admins don't run a resource reset mod.

Best bet is to get a shared map view from all active players (via a shared map table) and boat to an area that is specifically unexplored.

The seeds are very random, so there is no way to determine where big mountains might be. The island plate shapes are repeated somewhat, but they are height randomized in addition to placement and rotation, so exploration is really the only way to find them.

If you want to get a sense of the "patterns" load this site and press random a bunch of times. Warning: spoilers to a degree, and if you have the seed, you can absolutely spoil everything. https://valheim-map.world/

[glossy yacht]

Hello

[fickle oracle]

where can i find the beta key for the public test?

[severe tendon]

search "valheim public test beta key". I'd put it here, but I don't know if there are rules against that on the server.

Also, IDK that there is an active PTB going right now. Certainly not for anything significant, just normal patches if anything.

[fickle oracle]

i found it btw, no worries

[tardy vale]

the key is pinned in #valheim-public-test channel

[severe tendon]

Just checked, PTB is 0.218.17 (n-29), but production GA build is currently 0.218.19 (n-27), so PTB is old.

What about shrimp on the barbie or some sliced eggplant with a nice smokey olive drizzle or some green asparagus?

Do people actually put shrimp on a BBQ?

No. Not civilised people

Sure fire way to turn them to rubber

That is only for people that don't know what they are doing.

[spark thunder]

Right? I guess if you had like a pan or skillet on the barbie, with some oil, and chucked the shrimp in there, once it was hot enough.

That or a very good clingy marinade and constantly flipping the shrimps and don't let them be on there too long.
Maybe even slice open the shrimp "butterfly" them.

its fine if its not sweet
as long as its not sweet or sweet and sour i dont mind honey being used in meat

Not all Jerky* is sweet/honey coated. Most of the ones I like are spicy or dry rub variety. Same with ribs when I use to get them.

[tardy vale]

the closest thing to jerky i ate would likely be dried meat, (it gets soaked its some spiced sauce for a day before being hung up to be wind dried for a few days

can somebody help me make a server? one that runs 24/7. i remember that i can take my save from a existing world and put that in the server

[chrome cipher]

Your best bet would be to ask in #dedicated-server @bold beacon

[vivid field]

try #dedicated-server in the help channels section

[bold beacon]

yea i send a message there

[chrome cipher]

The timing 😂

[bold beacon]

im trying to use axenthost and somehow put my save file there. i just need to find my save file in the xbox thingi

[vivid field]

yeah if you ask it in there, there's no need to spam the rest of the channels with the same question 🙂

[tardy vale]

pretty sure our discord will block files 🤔

[bold beacon]

wdym i need to put my save file from my pc into axent host

[tardy vale]

ah. thought you where going to put the world files in the general chat 😄

[bold beacon]

do you know how to find the world files in xbox app?

[hazy cloak]

hi

looking to rent a valheim server anyone have experience on bananaservers?
name sounds sus but it has a package for a 3 players which suits me other providers gives me fixed option from 10+ players only

[atomic niche]

Why not host your own

Got a spare laptop that isn't doing anything?

[hazy cloak]

the other 2 players are quitee far from me they would probably get like 200-250ms not sure how the game is like

[frosty walrus]

In valheim objects are controlled by who loaded them, not always by the host. This means if other people aren’t in an area that someone else has been in recently, they wont experience any lag.

[atomic niche]

I'm sure they'd play a lot together which would make things wishy washy on that front then ';x

[frosty walrus]

But hosting on a rented server wouldn’t affect the connection between players, so it would probably be exactly the same

[atomic niche]

True. ';x

[hazy cloak]

ill see how it goes havent played with them in awhile and see if they have any problems first

i dont mind spending 30 bucks for 3 months if thats how long it takes to reach I 'endgame' I guess once final boss is dead I leave game till next patch

[tardy vale]

we do have #dedicated-server to discuss servers and stuff 🤔

Hello guys 👋

[warm thistle]

Hi guys i have a question, is there any way to check if i have a fire danger/smoke danger whatever the mechanic is called that can ruin your house if you don't make a chimney enabled on my world?

[frosty walrus]

Your house will never be ruined if you don't make a chimney, but the smoke could suffocate you if there isn't room for it to despawn, and this can't be disabled. There is a world modifier that can cause fire to spread in all biomes, and that's off by default.

[warm thistle]

Wait so my house can't catch on fire if i don't enable the world modifier?

Is there any way to check if the modifier is off or on?

[frosty walrus]

Only if it's in the ashlands biome and is made of flammable materials

[frosty walrus]

I think the button is f3 but I'm not sure because I use a controller
You can also check from the world select menu

[untold night]

F2 on PC (edit: while in game)

[warm thistle]

It says world modifiers, and there is nothing there, so that's good to hear.

So by deafult there is no possible way, to catch fire in your building unless it's in ashlands?

[frosty walrus]

It can't happen outside of ashlands

[umbral fog]

or you can look into world modifiers when you are on the world selecting screen 🙂

[warm thistle]

Yeah, but I already checked with F2 key and it showed me all of the information.

[umbral fog]

just another way you can check it 🙂

[warm thistle]

Thanks for help!

[warm thistle]

ye

[calm flame]

Is there a fix for my ships taking constant damage for no reason?

[scenic wing]

Your ship may be too close to the shore. Try building a dock that extends a good ways out.

The waves may be moving your ship and crashing it against the sea floor.

[untold night]

Are you in Ashlands waters?

[crimson inlet]

look for magic pixels or rocks to build workbench while sailing, gotta be fast

[untold night]

What? Just sail close to land so you can drop a workbench and repair the ship as needs be. Magic pixels? Really?

[winter pier]

What if theyre nowhere close to land 😮

[untold night]

The boat gets destroyed, you swim for your life and you die. It's a survival game, did you expect any different?

[winter pier]

lol

you are very confrontational. it was a joke mate

[untold night]

Valheim is actually pretty forgiving compared to some survival games I've played.

[untold night]

I don't mean to be. Text is just a horrible medium with which to express nuance.

[winter pier]

Fair enough!

[little veldt]

i've actually coached employees about this. one tool that helps is emojies/smilies

hell, i know one guy i want to tell him to put whatever he wants to type into an AI and ask it to determine the tone lol

won't be perfect, but man he comes across as an asshole all the time in chat

[winter pier]

yeah the 😮 smiley was to indicate I was joking a bit 😛

[untold night]

The tongue in cheek is what I recognise as a joke. Mouth open suggests maybe disbelief?

Although, I'm old, so who the fuck knows.

[winter pier]

Im old as fk too

[little veldt]

i'm old too, but we gotta keep up with the youngins

48, feeling like 50 is just around the corner. damn

[untold night]

We have to demonstrate the 'rizz'.

[winter pier]

43 here (mentally probably half that age)

[little veldt]

i love using rizz, no cap, etc. makes my kids cringe

fr fr

[untold night]

I'll be 49 in 4 months.

[winter pier]

40+ gang lets goo

[little veldt]

49 in... 2 months shit

[untold night]

Ok, fuck you guys. Imma go hang with the Gen-Zers. 😛

[winter pier]

Damn.. have you bought a tombstone yet?

[little veldt]

already decided on cremation lol

[winter pier]

scatter the ashes in the eyes of your foes?

[little veldt]

got it all written up. just don't know what i want done with my ashes. i kinda think i want them made into diamonds, and put into a skull as eyes, and past down to each of the oldest living descendants

[untold night]

I've pre-booked a wood chipper. I'm going to go out 'Tucker & Dale' style.

[little veldt]

maybe establish a trust which does a minor payout to whomever owns my skull monthly, as long as they abide by my wishes 🙂

[untold night]

Your skull is going to be 'the conch'!

[little veldt]

"That's crazy great-great grandfather's ashes. We get $20 a month to keep it on the mantle."

[winter pier]

Ill need to google that reference 😄

[little veldt]

Tucker & Dale vs Evil is an awesome movie. One of the best comedy/horror

[winter pier]

Oh yeah I know who they are when I saw the images

[little veldt]

i'm probably overdue for a rewatch

[untold night]

I envy the time you'll spend watching that film for the first time.

[winter pier]

Lol! I wouldnt be surprised if ive seen it ages ago

[untold night]

OMG, that is a 14 yr old film! Does anyone know a good mobility scooter vendor?

[winter pier]

Haha exactly

Speaking of feeling like a fossil... been having movie nights with my nieces (twins at 15yo) and watching my fav movies from the 80s/90s

The commentary on the gremlins-movies are really hurtful... really hits you in the feels

[little veldt]

does gremlins hold up? i haven't watched it in forever

[tardy vale]

https://tenor.com/view/gremlins-gremlin-midnight-dontfeedaftermidnight-gif-13857072122938173500

[winter pier]

I feel they hold up. I love them. My nieces roasted the fk out of every single thing in them tho. Except for Gizmo. He was very cute and the only ok thing about the movies......

Music-wise we are on the same wavelength and thats pretty cool. Showing them bands and songs they would probably never encounter and they love them. Good feeling. Helps a little with being destroyed movie-wise 🤣

[untold night]

I'm not certain on Gremlins, but my nostalgic love for The Goonies has been dashed recently.

[little veldt]

oh no 😦

[winter pier]

Its sadly not as great as I thought when I was a kid

but it for sure gave a nice little nostalgia kick

[untold night]

I'm going to watch Stranger Things again and pretend like the movie-making quality of kids on bikes being local heroes wasn't terrible.

[hard iron]

My mom showed us The Birds when we were younger, and we did the same thing to that movie 😉

She loved it and thought it was terrifying, we thought it was hilarious because you could see all the wires on the birds

[winter pier]

yeah old timey horror flicks are usually hard to sell

except for maybe... the exorcist

[untold night]

You'll feel better after watching 'Birdemic'.

[hard iron]

I just want to see "The Crows have Eyes" from Schitt's Creek 😛

[untold night]

You can see a remake of 'The Crow' soon, if that's any conciliation.

[hard iron]

Not quite the same

https://tenor.com/view/rose-moira-birds-crows-schitts-gif-14813412

[untold night]

That's definitely not one of the Skarsgårds.

[hard iron]

If you haven't watched Schitt's Creek, you might consider it. It's about a rich family that loses almost everything and has to live in a motel in an impoverished town, and they're all confused, uppity socialites that are just trying to figure out how to manage doing real work and stuff.

[untold night]

So, like if Mar-a-Lago was Less-a-Lago?

[hard iron]

More or less, yeah 😛

It's a cute show, good characters, family friendly overall.

[untold night]

Least. Clear. Phrasing. Ever. 😛

[little veldt]

The Crow should NOT be remade. That movie is definitely a product of its time, and the soundtrack is amazing

[winter pier]

Everything will be remade

i was going to say something that will probably be frowned upon about remakes so I wont

[untold night]

The soundtrack is of its time too. Try playing Machines of Loving Grace & Violent Femmes on any 'latest release' type radio station.

[little veldt]

exatly, it captures that era amazingly

[untold night]

Ok, I feel you. Good call. Would it be terrible if a remake captured today's era amazingly, though?

[little veldt]

okay, if they can pull it off, sure. I just don't see the need though. It's practically a perfect movie. Why don't they try making a totally different, good movie instead? the chance that they will fail remaking it into anything worthwhile is so high

[untold night]

I agree. But, you know, existing properties...

Nostalgia is a legitimate currency at present.

[little veldt]

and the studios believe it's an easy way to make a buck

[marsh sentinel]

Not a remake. Another adaptation of the original comic book.

[little veldt]

i'm still pessimistic it will be any good. we shall see

[untold night]

Oooh, interesting take. Do we know they've gone back to the comics and not referenced the Brandon Lee movie?

[marsh sentinel]

Pressman assured fans that "the original 1994 Crow film holds a special place in my heart. The current film is a 'reinvention' of James O'Barr's graphic novel for the 21st century.

[winter pier]

So im expecting it to be totally different then to not make it feel like a remake

[untold night]

With Bill Skarsgård, maybe we get a Crow that doesn't float down here. 😛

[dense abyss]

I have a question. When will they open channels with suggestions for me? It still tells me that there is no access, I should have been unbanned last month.

[spark thunder]

Have you tried contacting the mods via modmail?

[leaden fulcrum]

At one time, yes, but they wrote to me, "the ban is deserved" (although I was just writing suggestions on how to improve the game or communicating in the suggestions chat), that the ticket was closed. I didn't offend anyone or be rude to anyone, I didn't raise hidden topics, I was simply banned by a bot.

[marsh sentinel]

Definitely a question for @worn finch It may have been an oversight.

[brisk mantle]

If you have anymore questions, you are always welcome to ask

[brisk mantle]

btw is the world generated or just the same map each playthrough on that game?

[modest moth]

This one at least does look like a game, contrary to that totally-not-a-scam Cynacea or whatever the name was

Funny how I haven't seen anything about this game despite my algorithm should actually tell me something about it.

That either means my algorithm actually sucks or the game has terrible marketing

[marsh sentinel]

I haven't read too far into it, sorry.

[brisk mantle]

ah alright

[marsh sentinel]

It's only just hit EA, give it time.

[brisk mantle]

I sure hope its generated

[marsh sentinel]

Eh, my problems with the Forest and Ark were not the static worlds...

[frosty walrus]

It doesn’t say anywhere that it’s procedurally generated so I’d guess not, unfortunately

[junior tide]

so can anyone help me on knowledge of y valhiem keeps closing the game and dashboarding to my desktop screen?

[marsh sentinel]

Mods?

[tardy vale]

stop clicking when you start the game and it loads the world

[umbral fog]

I can almost hear: "Whos a good little Subject? Yes you are ^^ "

[empty kite]

anyone here play D&D, and if so, what would reasonable damage be for a deathsquito?

[umbral fog]

Are you really asking on Valheim server about how strong a mosquito should be? XD

Have you encountered the in game ones? 😄

[empty kite]

well right now my players are level 5 and i dont really a TPK from 1 bug now do i

[umbral fog]

well imo half the dmg a dragon does should be around perfect 😄

[empty kite]

what kind of dragon?

[umbral fog]

Moder 🙂 not quite right but not that far either, one of her attacks does 200 and deathsquitos do 95

[obsidian sleet]

Valheim is pretty cool

[umbral fog]

so... frost dragon, not sure about dnd equivalent, i know about stuff in it mostly from memes

[empty kite]

well the way damage is calculated in D&D is by using dice. For example, 2D6 = 2 rolls of a 6 sided die (or a standard cube)

[marsh sentinel]

I don't think that would be a commensurate level.

[umbral fog]

oh i know that, i was thinking more along the line that you roll only half the amount of dies 🙂

[empty kite]

and the more sides a die has, the higher AND lower the damage total can be

[empty kite]

well an adult red dragon can make 3 attacks. One with its bite and two with its claw. (the added number indicates damage added by stat scaling)
Bite = 2d10+8 pierce + 7 2d6 fire damage
Claw x2 = 2d6+8 slashing

which is around 60 damage, half of that is 30 which would probably get close to killing a party member instantly

but a deathsquito needs to do pierce damage so the scaling is way diff

[umbral fog]

yep, pretty much daethsquito in that case 🙂

[soft tartan]

I’d say not one hitting but getting close seems right

Although that’s balanced around valheim, almost one hitting might be too strong in the context of DnD (I’ve never played DnD)

[drowsy imp]

You'd be surprised

As long as the CR is high enough you can justify some absurd damage numbers

Depends a lot on your DM of course but D&D is very much a 'remember that running away is an option' kinda game~

[empty kite]

i am the DM

[drowsy imp]

A deathsquito could have something like a 2d10 piercing + con save for 2d8 poison or half on a success

19 average damage on a failure

can do up to 36 if your players are unlucky

[empty kite]

why con and not strength for the attack?

[drowsy imp]

poisonous attacks are traditionally against constitution saves

[empty kite]

but they dont do poison

[drowsy imp]

Would be fitting for a giant mosquito, although I suppose that's not how the deathsquito works

yeah, fair enough

[empty kite]

i should make monster sheets for every enemy

[drowsy imp]

3d12 piercing perhaps?

average of 19, can go up to 36

[empty kite]

seems good

dex save for half as much?

and disadvantage for undetected attacks ofc

[drowsy imp]

well it's an attack, that always goes against your player's AC

disadvantage against undetected enemies is RAW

[empty kite]

ofc

[drowsy imp]

I guess the to-hit is something to look into, hm

[umbral fog]

for someone who doesent play dnd (me) it makes sense for poison to be constitution rather than strength, i mean, the bigger/healthier you are the less poisons usually affect you, and you cant really use your muscle strenght to overpower poison 😄

[empty kite]

well yeah i was confused and though the attack was scaling with Con. brain fart by me

[umbral fog]

we all have those sometimes 😄

[drowsy imp]

Cursory look through some 5e resources, this should be about right for a CR3 creature

Proficiency bonus of +2, and for a skitter with probably negligible strength but high dex

[empty kite]

negligible everything but dex methinks

possibly a dodge reaction?

[drowsy imp]

18 dex then, would probably be good

that's a +4

so to-hit bonus on the attack is +6

including proficiency

I'd be careful on dodge reaction~

You want them to hurt but not be too difficult to hit

just like ingame

[empty kite]

true, thoughts on bludgeoning vulnerability?

[drowsy imp]

They can already fly so you can pull off some shenanigans unless your players can as well

I don't think it would be needed? A tiny hit die would suffice

[empty kite]

One is a human fighter and the other is a Kalashtar Paladin

will be getting 2 more players soon

[drowsy imp]

Gotcha

But yeah, honestly could probably bump the CR down to 2 with the same damage numbers and stats

[empty kite]

AC probably just 10 right, cant go wrong with it

[drowsy imp]

would be at least 14 with 18 dex

base AC is always 10 + dex bonus

unless they have natural armor that says otherwise, but that wouldn't be the case here

[empty kite]

true, but its also a bug

[drowsy imp]

I think 14 AC is fine

remember that your players have a lot of options besides straight hits to kill them

[empty kite]

like running!

[drowsy imp]

if it's gonna have dex and nothing else, anything that attacks a saving throw besides dex is gonna be veery useful for them

[drowsy imp]

true~

But yeah, if we go down to CR2, keep the same high damage numbers and drop the hit dice to sth like 3d8

[empty kite]

players are level 5 right now, they should live

[drowsy imp]

avg 13 or max 24

aye, they should be able to take one pretty easily

but you can have multiple on

against two players, one of them should be an easy encounter, but 2 at a time would be hard

3 would be absurd

this is going solely from CR ranking

4 players vs 3 at a time is a medium encounter

4v4 is hard

[empty kite]

this is very helpful information, just starting DMing not too long ago

[drowsy imp]

Good luck! It's tons of fun and very rewarding~

[empty kite]

yeah, but then no one else wants to do it...

[drowsy imp]

Just be prepared to fudge some numbers if your homebrew creatures turn out to be too powerful, or not powerful enough

[empty kite]

I typically make up numbers on the spot but thought it would be fun to give some valheim creatures actual sheets

[drowsy imp]

If you end up finalising them, feel free to share them here

I'm sure a proper creature sheet for DnD based on Valheim mobs is good enough for #fanart

[empty kite]

surely

[drowsy imp]

Good luck~

For fighting moder where / how far away is best to place a little safe haven and portal ?

[soft tartan]

If you dig under the altar then you can place a portal down there that’s close and that enemies struggle greatly to hit

[lament vessel]

always have atleast one backup portal near-ISH as well

[limber turtle]

If you build it under the altar, how do you get in and out of that area? it's just a long way down.. Will Moder destroy any stairs etc. that are built?

You can have a staircase dug out of the ground or just sprint up the wall
