[umbral fog]

Got the board game today!!!

[scenic wing]

Nice!!

I love my coin

[umbral fog]

Same!
-# Literally fidgeting with it right now xD

[scenic wing]

I keep it at my desk, I’ve been thinking about getting some sort of display thingy for it

[umbral fog]

I will not do that, its coming with me everywhere for the next few days probably xD

[scenic wing]

This is probably going to sound ridiculous, but I’m worried about rubbing it too much and getting it dirty or faded lol

[umbral fog]

How much do you plan to rub it for godness sake?! 👀 The details are pretty damn deep on mine at least.

[scenic wing]

LOL What an interesting question if that was out of context! I don’t know, not much- I think I just tend to be overly protective and critical when it comes to these things

When I was young, I was extremely picky about people touching my video game controllers and disks and stuff haha

TooMuchRubb

[umbral fog]

I am so much more comfortable in handling steel coin than CDs for example xD

[fossil crest]

Any estimates of when in 2026 the game will be oN PS5?

[storm anchor]

No specific date, only during 2026.

[fossil crest]

Yea i know there is no official date, but any estimates? For example Jan-April?

[storm anchor]

There is no info about that.

[fossil crest]

Fair enough. Still thank you🙏

[storm anchor]

Following https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202150165449035816 you get the latest info developers want to share to us. 👍

[tardy vale]

no precice date no

[quiet bear]

Anybody have acer nitro v 16

and does it play high end games

[livid nova]

highly depends on what gpu you get for it

i see it goes up to a rtx 5070 which is really decent of course they're not as powerful as its desktop version but yeah.

[unborn lion]

does anyone know if there will be achievements in this wonderful game and if so when?

[storm anchor]

In 1.0 update which is Deep North update.

[unborn lion]

please add a lot of achievements

[storm anchor]

Don't worry, they surely come up with some cool ones. 👍

[tranquil kernel]

“Timberrr! Died to a tree” better be one 🤣

[unborn lion]

many of my friends and community members also choose games based on achievements and their number. if they have them, thats great, and if there are a lot of them, even better. Its an added challenge and more hours of gameplay

[unborn lion]

yeeeah

[storm anchor]

More like "Rite of Passage pt. 1"

"Rite of Passage pt. 2" would be dying to deathsquito while wearing black forest tier equipment.

[unborn lion]

it was me XD

[tranquil kernel]

Rite of Passage Pt II is venturing into plains under-prepared, hearing some weird buzzing noise, and dying instantly

Ha! You type faster

[unborn lion]

when will be the update?

[crimson yacht]

#general message

[storm anchor]

[storm anchor]

Not this year.

[unborn lion]

[storm anchor]

Some estimate it being 2026 but there is no confirmation from developers.

Literally me 1st time i step into plains, except friends all panicked and warned us to stay away and in stealth, i was like since im in stealth and i see no mobs around lemme just go there real quick and grab those cool looking white berries, then bzzzzz dead

And everyone laughed

Screen shook and everything, made me jump up from my chair

[faint wraith]

I feel uncomfortably seen by this

[clear drum]

Or when ur exploring black forest and u see a log fall on ur head but no ones chopping trees

[faint wraith]

did the log accelerate aggressively as it fell?

[clear drum]

Didnt notice was too quick

[faint wraith]

was it perchance a sweeping motion

you know your memes, sir

[brazen coyote]

I finally got my Valheim board game. Is there a community for it? On Discord? FB? Elsewhere?

[tardy vale]

it's on their gamefund update 43 or 44. a link to a discord

[umbral fog]

Update 41 iirc 😄

[brazen coyote]

I back so many projects such details get lost in the storm of updates. At least I caught needing to pay the extra funds.

[cloud pagoda]

What’s the point of doing all this fist leveling if the second I get out of the plains I can’t use my fists😭

[umbral fog]

Why couldnt you? 😄

[cloud pagoda]

Because there’s not an armor set that buff them or a fist like weapon

[umbral fog]

Plains fist weapons still work well in mistlands 🙂 and keep in mind that untill recently we only had mountain tier fist weapons (not including bare fists)

[cloud pagoda]

What abour ashlands?

[umbral fog]

Nobody is saying you cant use them there too, but there are certainly better suited weapons to conquer them

[cloud pagoda]

Fair

This is my first play though

And i fell inlove with the fist at first use

Fast pased/skill based wepons that care about skill expression are fun

[proven dagger]

Did that cat do a mash up with the beatfreakz?

[tardy vale]

beatfreakz?

[brazen coyote]

You remembered correctly.

[tardy vale]

[hot hamlet]

Is there a proper non-Fandom wiki floating around? The one I just visited (Fandom) still had the old Forsaken Powers abilties.

[slender marlin]

uhmm... https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Valheim_Wiki is the game's official wiki and it's on Fandom platform, forsaken powers page looks quite up to date to me, but maybe clone and less updated wikis are around?🤔

[vocal trout]

I had no idea Valheim had FROST BLOBS

[slender marlin]

yesss, very cool addition from Call to Arms... just craftable and not found in the wild tho (as for now)

uh... cool addition, was being extremely funny without noticing

[vocal trout]

LOL craftable?

Well... We all know where they will be.

[slender marlin]

euhm... yeh... maybe brewable is more accurate ... ofc nothing certain but i sus they won't be added to Ashlands (if added at all)

[vocal trout]

DN???? lol

[hot hamlet]

The Creature page seems to be slightly out of date then, https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Creatures, as it does not appear to list the changes since Call to Arms.

[slender marlin]

Gotta check it, but yes it's possible that some pages are still undergoing changes and updates, since the whole game itself currently is

[slender marlin]

as for the 3 latest added creatures tho, i see them clearly there in the current page you mentioning, so still wondering which inaccuracies / lack of updates you're really pointing out 🤔 but maybe i'm missing something... quite sure you can propose additions and contributions yourself if you feel it lacking for some reason

[wise haven]

im on a tiny island away from mainland surrounded by like 8 greydwarfs what do i do

[hot hamlet]

The Boss' Forsaken Powers seems to not be updated, as that page still lists Moder giving Always tailwind when sailing., when iirc, in game the bonus listed is different, and doesn't mention said bonus. Yagluth's Forsaken Power also gives a different bonus to whats listed on that page.

[slender marlin]

what about what's missing in creature's page? just checking if you really need info or just randomly complaining about a specific site...

[molten kayak]

It’s a valid criticism

There’s outdated info on that page

[storm anchor]

Buying empty vials from Bog witch grant those recipes for crafting throwable blob vials, which can be useful in specific situations.

Or, heh, Bob vials.

[slender marlin]

what's the inaccuracy? is it the old wording detail problem? wind is not "always" on tail but just when the power is active? or there's more to it now?

[crimson inlet]

The powers changed

[slender marlin]

ofc

[vocal trout]

bob, is that you.

No that's me 🙁

[slender marlin]

wiki: "Always tailwind when sailing, +300.0 increased carry weight, +10% increased movement speed, Resistant (-50%) vs frost."

what's inaccurate?

[molten kayak]

The creatures page that lists what the forsaken powers do is outdated

[molten kayak]

Click on this link and go the the powers they list, they’re outdated

[slender marlin]

oh right i see

probably on the way to fix it, understendable as updates keep changing stuff

basically this #general message, and i just checked new creatures being added

[molten kayak]

Cool

It’s still good to point out outdated sources though

[slender marlin]

yup, didn't notice it myself

I got ticket for "typing something/posting in wrong chat" and I have no clue on which 😂

[storm anchor]

You can ask the reasoning by sending DM to @worn finch if not sure.

[ancient blade]

oh, thx, cuz I got that i should DM "unknown-user" is this a bug or literal name?

[storm anchor]

It's ModMail, it's the bot that the users can send messages to moderator team.

Should be seen right part in the online users view when you have Discord app open.

[chilly tendon]

ive got 199 iron is that enough raw ore or should i get some more asking for a friend

[tranquil kernel]

It's probably enouggh for basic armor but you'll want more eventually

[chilly tendon]

i've already got base iron armour and beaten bonemass

[frosty walrus]

What are you using the iron for?

[chilly tendon]

just general use

i assume i need more for better armor

[storm anchor]

That assumption is correct.

[frosty walrus]

Padded armor needs 63 for level 3 or 96 for level 4

[chilly tendon]

[tardy vale]

look in the #memes-and-clips channel and read the topic.
Then think of the picture you uploaded to the channel previously 🙂

[viscid citrus]

Wiki team here, Creatures page should be up-to-date now. Please let us know if you find anything else outdated or weird looking. Helpers and mods can tell us directly.

[ancient blade]

ah, my bad

just remembered what I posted there, you are 100% right

[outer shadow]

How many portals is too many for a portal hub

[umbral fog]

Very much depends how big is the portal hub 😄

[gray crypt]

I've once made a double ring portal hub that had more than a dozen portals.

[umbral fog]

Well, few of my friends have portal hubs with around 100 portals 😅
I personally do think thats too much but really depends on your personal taste

[tired harness]

3 😉

[storm anchor]

I'd say what you feel personally too much.

[outer shadow]

bro i SWEAR i ask for opinions and everyone in the chat goes (whatever you want)

[storm anchor]

I usually make the portal building in form of octagon and have 7 portals there for each biome.

[outer shadow]

dope decent answer

[vast estuary]

That's because there's no one right answer.

[sinful heron]

in singleplayer, you can have just 2 and swap the tags

[storm anchor]

Well, there are all kinds of players so answers will vary.

[outer shadow]

im not looking for a correct answer i want your opinion

[sinful heron]

in multiplayer, it's handy to have more, I think I had around 5

[umbral fog]

Well, it is a sandbox game 😄 it is kinda expected to be played the way YOU want

[outer shadow]

yea but im asking you

i wouldnt ask if i wanted my opinion

[sinful heron]

I just gave you an answer

[tired harness]

It's almost like being able to make your own decisions is a life skill 😉

Single player, 2 maximum.
Multiplayer 2 + 1 for each additional player.

[abstract scroll]

It's not supposed to be that deep. All dude asked was "how many portals is too much".

[outer shadow]

how does this work playing with 2 portals

[sinful heron]

change the tags

[tired harness]

And the shallowest answer is "there is no answer to that question."
Put more layers on and you get into "there is no correct answer to that question."
Put all possible layers on and you get "only you, personally, can answer that question."

[abstract scroll]

Lol you're the only one here convoluting this, but ok 👍

[tired harness]

Named portal that you change the name of based on where you are going.
Unnamed "oh shit" portal so you can get back from anywhere at any time.

[sinful heron]

it's also useful to have an emergency untagged portal in base

ah beat me to it

[tired harness]

3 people gave the same answer but sure.. I am the only one... 😄

[outer shadow]

so in your opinion having 16 is overkill

[sinful heron]

absolutely

[outer shadow]

gotcha

[tired harness]

Having 16 is overkill in many people's opinion, but that is how we play the game. And it should have no bearing whatsoever on how you play the game.

[sinful heron]

you just change the tag to wherever you're going

[outer shadow]

im well aware

[tardy vale]

I usually have 50+ Portals 🤔

[outer shadow]

im lazy

[vast estuary]

A downside to only keeping one named portal is having to remember or write down all the names you've used for portals.

[outer shadow]

way too much effort

that

[tardy vale]

Name them A1 to A20. Or something. The I start with B1 and so on

[sinful heron]

for example, I have 1 portal to an outpost in the biome I'm exploring, 1 portal to the new unreached location (crypt), and 1 untagged emergency portal

[outer shadow]

i do the biome then the number

[tired harness]

How is this difficult?

Boss names - easy to remember.
Biome you're currently mining out - easy to remember.
Trader names.

What am I missing?

[sinful heron]

getting all those materials is somehow less effort...?

[vast estuary]

I have a portal to each merchant, one to the Sacrificial Stones, and one unnamed exploration one.

[tardy vale]

All works 😇

[outer shadow]

wood and cores are common loot

[vast estuary]

Don't be condescending.

[tired harness]

None of that requires being written down?

[tardy vale]

I usually slap down minimum 1 teleporter per Island I step my foot on.

[outer shadow]

yall dont have chests just full of eyes and cores?

[sinful heron]

yeah, all my tags are systematic, biome/number/letter, same land masses have the same number but different letters

and then boss numbers and trader numbers

[vast estuary]

Where did I say it does? Nowhere.

[tired harness]

Herewhere.

[outer shadow]

i have one in each island meadow typically then i have like 3-4 per biome

[sinful heron]

seems excessive to have more than 1 per (before mistlands/ashlands), but you do you if you don't mind getting the resources

[vast estuary]

Unrelated. You're just being obtuse on purpose.

[tired harness]

😂

[outer shadow]

yea but if you have 80 spots to teleport than id rather just build the portal

[tired harness]

Genuine: Explain how you have 80 spots?

[outer shadow]

tower

i dont in my current one

[tired harness]

Tower.
1/80

[outer shadow]

but in my old one i had something pushing 100

[outer shadow]

holding all the portals but i had all the bosses traders mini bosses teleports for all potion plants and ores

outposts

that sorta thing

[tired harness]

As we have established, everyone plays differently.
At most I have 15 portal locations. (7 bosses + 3 traders + home + biomes being mined).
So getting up to 80 is, as I said, genuinely something I would need an explanation for.

[outer shadow]

if i need something i can just tp and grab it done

[outer shadow]

1 for each plant 1 for each ore one for each mob spawner one for each wood one for each island one for each outpost or base

[tired harness]

Each plant?

[outer shadow]

yes

non farmable

[tired harness]

You have portals for berries??

[outer shadow]

yea?

[tired harness]

Whyyyyyy????

[outer shadow]

you dont?

[tired harness]

See previous.

[outer shadow]

i never take portals down

only make new ones

[tired harness]

Yeah that's a you thing.

[outer shadow]

im aware

[tired harness]

If it works, go all in on it.

But I cannot fathom.

[outer shadow]

i asked because i like to see how people play

i mean it saves time if i need berries boom i get them in 15 seconds

[tired harness]

If you wish to avoid the "make your choice" responses in the future, it is best to specify your question.
So instead of "what do you think?" or "what is good/bad?"
Change it to "how do you guys?" So we know the goal is comparison. 👍 💛

[outer shadow]

bet

[glacial flame]

You're not alone, my old world had 30+ portals not including our extremely specific resource portals for exceptionally well endowed forests, hills, and clearings.

[outer shadow]

good

[tired harness]

We are all alone. 😏

😈

[glacial sluice]

I thought of something that could be added to valheim. Just a request

You could add new materials like clay plaster, thatch walls
Just a bunch of different building materials. You can even add More decorations like paintings? Chandeliers candelabra stuff like that. Just giving out some ideas. I love valheim and I'm just thinking of things you can do to help out builders cuz we like to experiment and don't get me wrong. I love the game. It's just a well-made game and it's got so much potential is all I got to say. I love this game and I have so much fun playing it

[scenic wing]

You can pitch your ideas in #suggestions if you wish 🤔

[storm anchor]

One can request but ultimately it's up to developers if they add the ideas. 👍

But https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202312684364910612 is where those are better to propose. Remember add 💡 in the beginning of the post. 👍

[glacial sluice]

Thanks for the feedback. I will put some and requesting for the suggestions

[smoky scarab]

It's easy to reach 80 portals, the moment I land on an island I'll always put down a portal. Then if I want to explore it, I bring another portal, so in case I'd die I could still get there easily. And when I am done exploring, I don't backtrack to the same portal, I just put down another portal and will most likely bring another portal if I explore further or sail from the first one to give myself more options for the future

[sterile snow]

Can portals be destroyed by mobs? I’m always wondering whether they’ll still be there

[frosty walrus]

Yes, so build some walls around them.

[sterile snow]

Can’t do stone yet, but good to know. Will use wood

[frosty walrus]

Stake walls are good enough, if enemies can't see the portal they won't attack anything.

[sterile snow]

Ah, that makes sense - thanks 🙂

[storm anchor]

At least enemies cannot destroy portals in inactive area.

But otherwise what Blobicycake suggested. 👍

[glossy basin]

Rip I thought the game will be on sale till today 😢

anyone knows if is there any expected average time to be on 50% off again?

[tranquil kernel]

Maybe Christmas?

[umbral fog]

Well, pretty much every sale it is in is the 50%, and it is usually on sale with big steam sales 🙂

[glossy basin]

I see

will be waiting then

[umbral fog]

So i would bet the winter sale, that would start on December 18th

[glossy basin]

[glossy basin]

also maybe black friday 🤔 ?

[umbral fog]

No sale like that according to steam https://steamdb.info/sales/history/

they should add black metal support beams since we all have an insane amount of it with really nothing to do with it

[grizzled moat]

what kind of pecan's you usin'?

im not

I just saw a video from Max Miller on some type of pie and he said "piquant pie" only for me to realise later he said pecan pie

Minecraft is a one off wonder
Goat sim is unique and good but you can't tell me you still play it anymore because it lacks any long term value

It's basically world of warcraft simulator without the vestigial parts of WoW

So there in the loadscreen it says "Great games are made in Sweden"

Early battlefield game(s) was fun. never ones feels more.. um.. competative games without scoreboards 🤔

[crimson inlet]

Competitive without scoreboard 🤔

[tardy vale]

yes

[outer shadow]

Competitive without the competing for anything

It's like having a race with no results you technically competed by like

Its just missing the gravy for the taters

Like pressing a button in a modern game and then your character autonomously does an action for 5 seconds 🎢

[tardy vale]

to defend your base from the evil broom

[native meadow]

make the ballista kill only brooms

[outer shadow]

In what universe is that even remotely useful

[outer shadow]

Aye fair enough

[native meadow]

it's just how the ballista's programming works: you need a trophy to tell it what to kill

and the broom is effectively a trophy

[tardy vale]

yup yup. no point in excluding one trophy

[native meadow]

do you need it? Of course not

[tardy vale]

it will never be useful. but you can

[native meadow]

or maybe you do, I'm not judging

[storm anchor]

Broom raid, unlocks after killing one Kvastur.

[native meadow]

never got your house cleaner

[gray crypt]

Maybe if you get him enough times, it unlocks the raid “He’s cleaning house!” and you get a dozen of them descend on your base

[tardy vale]

or kill the brooms when the witches takes of for "blåkulla"

[native meadow]

dang, it would be cool to have one in our homes as well

I mean a moving one

infuse it with some ectoplasm and voila'

[slender marlin]

Yup. Kvastur trophy + ectoplasm = player tamed Kvastur would be one of my 1 👍🏽out of 100 👎🏽

[ancient blade]

latest W11 update broke task manager duplicating it when closing it 😂

they only make Windows worse by year

[tardy vale]

Yes 100%

[fast trout]

I finally caved and installed 11. Had to remove a ton of trashware, and Valheim has crashed to desktop 3 times since doing it (and yes, I did update all the drivers).

[tough aspen]

Sad to hear :C

[vocal trout]

I LOVE WINDOWS 11 but I use ExplorerPatcher to make the taskbar and start menu like W10

[shadow cosmos]

hello

[flint bloom]

They're pushing people to upgrade to linux

[tired harness]

"Upgrade" 😏

[vivid quiver]

Windows getting worse? How can this be? Its by the company that ises AI to make 30% of their codes. Would AI steer us wrong?

For real tho dont stay with win10. Its going to become a liability sooner or later.

[lost apex]

the amount of times AI gave me halucionations, does not surprise me. i expect the quality of windows to go down

[lost apex]

i'm changing to Linux, requiring a Microsoft account to use a PC is the last straw for me :(

[vivid quiver]

The only reason I didnt switch to linux was because a specific game didnt run on it

But I did put it on my laptop. Its neat

and way easier than I expected.

[lost apex]

i like the fact that it is fast :o
i have a great computer, with Linux, it is really good :3

what desktop environment are you using? :)

[vivid quiver]

One of the challenge is that everything in windows in layered upon layers, its so complex and every nooks and crannies hides more functions and options that are obscure to just about everyone.
With linux, everything is available in one or two clicks. Its awesome

ubuntu
Its very purple

For those who are used to windows, I heard mint aimed to replicate the UI

[lost apex]

i'm using Debian with KDE plasma, really good experience :D

[vivid quiver]

Thats hot

[tired harness]

Gets any hotter you're going to need some Barley Wine. 😉

[tardy vale]

Not even on wine? 😵‍💫

[flint bloom]

Free, customizable, and runs Valheim. What more does a viking need? 😄

[tired harness]

Yes, that is Windows. 🙃

[flint bloom]

Windows isn't free and barely customizable...

[tired harness]

Came free with my computer 🤷‍♂️
And you never specified degrees of severity with customization.

[flint bloom]

The price of your computer included a windows license. That doesn't make it free...

[tired harness]

I am happy with what I have, and I would say Linux at the current time is a lateral move, hence my light poke at the specific use of the word "upgrade."

This doesn't need to be a whole thing.

[scenic wing]

Isn’t Linux the one with the penguin?

[tired harness]

Indeed.

[flint bloom]

Yep, Tux (the penguin) is the Linux mascot. Linux comes in plenty of flavors tho.

[flint bloom]

The terminology is a bit tongue-in-cheek... As in, they're trying to get people to upgrade to windows 11, but people should upgrade to Linux instead 😄

[tired harness]

Linux being more easily used by game studios instead of the current "hoping one of your devs actually knows how it works" is one of the biggest hurdles currently.

Solve that, and you'll have far more adopters. 😬

[vivid quiver]

The issue is that its a korean game that uses a chinese anti cheat software that doesnt run natively on linux

[flint bloom]

That's mostly an image issue I suppose.. Distros like Ubuntu or Mint barely need understanding (besides general computer usage) - in many cases I'd argue it's easier than windows

[flint bloom]

NGL the real thing that's hurting Linux adoption is that Microsoft managed to get it's OS pre-installed on store-bought machines - and people tend to simply keep the default

[tired harness]

I mean, if you pre-installed Linux on machines you'd have a host of people who wouldn't know how to use what they bought. So they wouldn't buy it.

[flint bloom]

I honestly doubt that. Have you used a modern linux distro? It's usually easier to use than windows

[tired harness]

No, but have you met people?

[flint bloom]

Does Haldor count as people?

[low depot]

I have and I disagree, but I guess that's highly subjective

[tired harness]

No.

[low depot]

I will admit that those distros got a lot better over the years and actually managed to close the gap a little

[flint bloom]

I'd argue a distro like Mint is, on most aspects, easier to use than windows - ofc windows has the advantage of market share meaning all suppliers cater to it, but even with that in mind something like a driver upgrade or installing commonly used software is easier in mint or ubuntu than in windows

[flint bloom]

Actually Linux does come pre-installed on very many devices. Mostly on smartphones - considering Android is a Linux distro.

[low depot]

It probably comes down to what you are more used to. Windows still has the edge imo, but that's certainly not an unbiased opinion. With installing software being easier you might be right, the store was not great on windows last time I used it. But I cannot really say because I mostly use winget these days

[flint bloom]

I mean if you're using winget you're talking terminal-level, which is beyond most users... But tbh, winget is lightyears behind apt-get, which it's based on

[warped citrus]

Evening. Woke up around 22

[flint bloom]

Living the cat life

[vocal trout]

I don't think any other OS will ever take over Windows, it's just too good at everything.

[warped citrus]

That is true. Also living the vampire life.

[flint bloom]

At everything? The windows phone market share says otherwise 😅

[flint bloom]

Vampire cat, vampire cat, does whatever a vampirecat does... Can he bite? Yes he can. 'cause he's a vampire. And a cat. Vampire cat!

[vocal trout]

Oops, meant Windows as the OS.

[main sonnet]

It's not too good at everything. It simply adds everything that others have, thus force the others out of competition, then buy that former competitor up, add the best part of that program to their own programs and eventually mess it all up.

Kinda like what happened with Skype, Yahoo! and all that.

[flint bloom]

*Desktop OS. What's it really good at, compared to Linux and Mac?

[vocal trout]

Pretty much everything.
Things are starting to get Linux/Mac support but still a monstrously large amount of games/apps are Windows only.

[flint bloom]

That's not a thing windows does best tho... That's a thing things do to be supported on windows. Which is because of market share, not because of windows being good. And tbh, there aren't that many apps or games that are windows-only anymore.

As of 2025, over 80% of the top 1000 Steam games are rated “Playable” or better on Linux.

[tight sundial]

I don't think I've ever used gen chat in here I'm always in valheim chat

[flint bloom]

Welcome! You are now under the command of general Chat. Prepare to take your orders.

[tight sundial]

bro turned my brain to mush

listen the only general I know is Shepperd and he got a knife in the eye

[flint bloom]

I know of a bunch of fuellings and greydwarves who desperately need a knife to the eye

[vocal trout]

Steam has like 240 thousand games and then combine that with how many hundreds of thousands of games and software exist.
The world depends on Windows as well.

[tight sundial]

listen greydwarvs are so annoying ive been playing for around 6 days now and all they do it mess with you and run away

there attention span is so tiny

if they could speak they would all say 1 word (beakfest)

[flint bloom]

While true, the world depends more on Linux than on Windows. A vast majority of web servers runs Linux (estimates go up to 96%) as well as smartphones (estimates go up to 85%).

[flint bloom]

But if you stab them, you get their eyes!

[tight sundial]

thats true

also just relized there's no chat level system in here

[vocal trout]

The world depends on Windows, not Linux.
Without Windows our society would collapse as it's so tightly integrated into our entire infrastructure.
Web servers can run on Windows too but you don't see everyday infrastructure running Linux but instead Windows.

[flint bloom]

Society would collapse... For like a month at most. Desktops can run on Linux too but you don't see servers running windows but instead Linux

[vivid quiver]

Theres a lot of everyday infrastructures that runs on linux

[flint bloom]

Society would collapse wayyyy harder if Linux were to disappear tho... Imagine all websites and all non-Iphone smartphones suddenly just stopping

[vivid quiver]

in fact its better to do so because linux is easier to update while its running, and manages better its ressources over time

[vocal trout]

Oh my bad, I forgot that you can use a website or phone to travel on the train.

[flint bloom]

I can, yes. Are you in some backwater country?

[vocal trout]

No, you cannot lol

[flint bloom]

I actually can

I often do

[vocal trout]

Nope, without Windows software they would not function.

[flint bloom]

They scan a QR code to verify payment when they check tickets. Software to check QR codes is very much available on Linux.

[vocal trout]

That's not going to run the train though.
All from Trains to Airplanes, to Subway, Hostpital all rely on Windows softare, MS-DOS, Win98 and newer.

[vivid quiver]

I sure hope that the amount of systems that runs on win 98 is limited

[flint bloom]

I would indeed hope newer... But that's possibly the case in some countries. In... developed places, such software does not have archaic dependencies

[vocal trout]

No, most of the worlds industries still relies heavily on MD-DOS, Win3, Win98 and uses flopy drives.
Trains, Airplanes, Subway systems.

[flint bloom]

My personal experience would contradict this assertion - but that's anecdotal. Do you have credentials or sources to support this claim?

[tired harness]

WinXP best operating system ever.
Fight me. 😛

[vivid quiver]

winxp was limited to 4 gb of ram

[vocal trout]

Google.

[flint bloom]

What more could anyone reasonably need!

[flint bloom]

So, mostly (potentially) outdated sources?

[vocal trout]

Sure, if you think 2025 is outdated.

Here's just one example.
https://www.techzine.eu/news/infrastructure/132083/air-traffic-control-in-the-us-still-uses-windows-95-and-floppy-disks/

[vivid quiver]

2025 is about 84% outdated

[flint bloom]

Airplane software is indeed outdated AF - that's a bit of an outlier tho

[vocal trout]

Nope, trains and subways uses it too.

[flint bloom]

(globally that is. USA seems a bit behind)

[vocal trout]

Nope, Japan uses it too.

[flint bloom]

Source?

[vocal trout]

In the article I linked?

[flint bloom]

Does not mention trains or subways or windows in context

[vocal trout]

Francisco, the train control system still operates on DOS, utilizing 5.25-inch floppy disks. Due to budget constraints, replacement is not possible before 2030. Japan has also been struggling for years to modernize its government registration systems, which still use floppy disks.

Oh really

[flint bloom]

"Struggling to modernize its government registration systems, which still use floppy disks" - yes, "runs its subways and trains on windows" - no.

[vocal trout]

They run on dreams and hopes

[flint bloom]

Who doesn't, really

Looking into it: According to Toshiba, in the Japanese ticket gates for rail and metro systems, they switched to Linux in 2012

(Source: https://www.global.toshiba/content/dam/toshiba/migration/corp/techReviewAssets/tech/review/2012/08/67_08pdf/a03.pdf)

[flint bloom]

NGL this being from 2025 made me look into it a tad. Seems - indeed - outdated: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cx82407j1v3o

[jolly prism]

Its even worse than that. There was an opensource project named AppGet that MS invited the devs to HQ and talked with, then MS cloned AppGet and renamed it to WinGet, and finally the worst part is they only added the original devs to the credits after they publicly told the story with the announcement of shutting down AppGet.

[vocal trout]

DAMN

[flint bloom]

That is true - but to be fair that "only" means Microsoft is morally bankrupt, not that windows is bad... (It is, but for different reasons lol)

[wise haven]

do you need to kill elder to build karve

[tired harness]

No.

[tired harness]

Bronze Nails is usually the thing that unlocks the recipe.

[dusk apex]

Anyone else having a hard time surviving? trolls and bears just wont leave me alone

on normal

[brazen coyote]

No, I can run away from them easily enough, when I needed to. Now that I have bronze weapons and the carrot based foods, along with my bone shield, I can handle them just fine in combat. The lvl 3 bear armor is also a big help.

[slender marlin]

'morgenGjall🤌

[crimson inlet]

First playthrough, trolls were giving us a hard time
It's that early valheim magic

Wears out once you get used to it and cannot be recreated
Trust me when I say, enjoy the hard times while they last

[brazen coyote]

My advice to all new players is to not rush and just take their time.
Its only all new to you the first time.

[late hearth]

It gets easier when u have some weapons, armour and food giving u a boost. Also not panicking helps! haha and then just take it slow, figure out your fighting mechanics and it gets a lot easier!!

[tired harness]

What's your food?

[dusk apex]

i've been using the halberd

maybe i need to switch weapons?3

[tired harness]

Atgeir is one of the better weapons in the game.

What is your food?

[crimson inlet]

😂

[late hearth]

Personally, a bow and flint arrows in the early game helped me take down trolls,
just run run run, turn back, shoot arrow, run run run, turn back, shoot arrow always worked for me haha

finewood bow

[tired harness]

Bow and Atgeir are both pierce, which is what is best vs. Trolls.

[midnight hedge]

Flint knife works well on trolls, if you time your dodge rolls

[late hearth]

and for food, eat Meats for HP and have something for stamina

[dusk apex]

I dont onow berries and meay

[midnight hedge]

No need to waste stamina on running

[dusk apex]

Thr weapon is good but I keep begging hit

Can't run

[late hearth]

ugh dodging was too advance for a noob like moi

[tired harness]

That's the problem.
Gear is secondary.
Food is the most important stat in the game.

[dusk apex]

I cant dodge either I wanna rebind

[midnight hedge]

It does take some time to learn the attacks etc

[dusk apex]

But Google says you cant

[midnight hedge]

pc or xbox?

[dusk apex]

Pc

[late hearth]

if ur new, cooked meats like deer meat, boar meat, bear meat...will be a LOT better than berries

[midnight hedge]

Interesting

[tired harness]

You don't need to dodge. If you have better food you can just parry and nuke trolls.

[late hearth]

and Honey for stamina

[dusk apex]

Halberd can parry?

[tired harness]

No, I'm lying to you because I find it fun...........

The only thing in the game that cannot parry is Tower Shields.

[crimson inlet]

Friendly 🔮

[late hearth]

U got this Octo!! tryy playing with a group too, u can go on expeditions with other peeps and get help

[tired harness]

Bronze Atgeir at 0 skill on normal requires 71 max HP to parry troll normal attacks (just dodge the occasional two-handed slam).
HHS from Meadows gives you 98, so you're golden.
Once you upgrade your food to Black Forest stuff you'll be at 125, making it even easier.

Same weapon, 0 skill on normal needs only 60 max HP to parry bears.

[crimson inlet]

🌈 🏹

[tired harness]

Can parry every greydwarf type of every star level with the 71 max HP you'd have to trolls anyway.

All skeleton types and ghosts as well.
So with HHS from Meadow the only things you have to dodge instead of parry is the troll 2-handed slam and then just starred bears/trolls until you get BF foods.

@dusk apex does that all make sense?

[tired harness]

Groups? No one steals my loots...
It's mine... my amber and rubies... my coins.... MY PRECIOUS!

There are more Elder altars in each world, total of 5 iirc.

im early game, moving is a massive slog

[storm anchor]

Yeah, there are 3 ways to find them:

• Going opposite direction and finding new vegvisir that points to new location
• Using console commands and find command or
• Using world generator website to locate the boss altars in your seed/map (you can filter it to show only boss altars and have FoW on so the map doesn't get revealed fully).

[wise haven]

yeah im fine with using a map gen, but still moving is dangerous and takes awhile

Yep i just saw that lol
Thank you!

[tired harness]

@tight sundial that map is.... so much typing. 🙁

[tight sundial]

I just mark things as I go

[tired harness]

Technically no... you mark and type 😉

For contrast, my system involves zero typing. You mark with just the symbol and go.

[tight sundial]

you could do it that way not how I prefer it though

[tired harness]

So much time "wasted" with letters 😭

[tight sundial]

yes 2 seconds wasted lol

whatever shall I do

[tired harness]

Given the amount of things you're marking, that does add up 😉

When you reach 1000 hours, 4 of those hours will be just from marking and typing 😏

[frail pond]

You shouldn't talk here you write out your portal names every time.

[tired harness]

Oh no... maybe once per in-game week I type a portal name...
So much work...

[frail pond]

that does add up 😉

[tired harness]

If you're not able to reasonably see the difference in the math between once per in-game week vs. every single thing you mark.... that's on you.

[tight sundial]

I mean I could care less im the one playing lol

[tired harness]

"Could care less" means you do care a little bit 😉

[tight sundial]

sure sure

[frail pond]

It's just the same logic you're suggesting is taking time during their gameplay. The amount of time isn't in question.

[vast estuary]

There's no wrong way to use the map.
I mark every dungeon as well, just with BC, TC, SC, or IC (new abbreviations will be added when I find new types of dungeons) instead of the full name (used to do that, though).

I also mark copper (Cu) and silver (Ag), and any other POI I want to be able to find again.

[tired harness]

This is Discord.
There is only one correct way to use every aspect of every game and you will adhere to it.

[vast estuary]

Tiresome.

[vocal trout]

Hello

[smoky scarab]

It takes way too long to take the time to label chests since you need to type something, it's much better to just look into every single chest every time you need to use or deposit something

[tired harness]

Look in?
You don't just remember them?

[smoky scarab]

I try, after years I came with a setup where I constantly have things in a certain order but it still happens

[vocal trout]

What is the current discussion about?

[tired harness]

How much time you spend typing in-game 😄

[smoky scarab]

Im with you though, we got enough different markers that I can mark anything in a certain biome and know what it is, in a mistland the crosses are the mines, houses are dverger towers, fires are the mining camp and points are the skulls

[wise haven]

Does anyone build portal hubs at spawn pillars?

[native meadow]

if I don't disable portals on a playthrough, I just leave one portal close by and that's it

[tired harness]

Entire hub? No.
Single portal labeled "Stones" so I can get back whenever? Yes.

[native meadow]

a "hub" there is definitey impractical I'd say

granted, my "hubs" are usually one single portal at my main base, and every place I teleport to has one single portal as well

I just keep renaming the one at the main base to wherever I wanna go

[tired harness]

^ This is the way.

[smoky scarab]

It could never work with just one unless you'd leave from your base every single time

3 portal at your base with 1 always disabled and who work as a backup is the way

[tired harness]

This is exactly what I do 😂

[ancient blade]

3h ago i passed my driving exam 🥳

[tired harness]

Anywhere I have been I am going to have picked stuff up.
So go back to drop it off before portaling off to somewhere else.

Also it's the same thing portal hub people do? Anywhere they go they have to return to hub first.

[smoky scarab]

1 is backup, 2 is portal I go to, 3 is next portal im going to place

[tired harness]

Unnamed is backup.
Named is portal I am going to.

If going to new place, drop unnamed, return. Change named to destination.
Go back through unnamed, change distant portal to match destination name.

[smoky scarab]

That works but it isn't just 1 portal at your base

[tired harness]

True. I have 2. Regular and emergency 😁

[vivid quiver]

imagine telling someone in your world to just put an unnamed portal to get back home and them getting confused as to why it doesnt work because they didnt understand that unnamed is the name of the portal

[tired harness]

If I'm talking to myself there is a problem 😬

[vivid quiver]

Are you talking to yourself?

[smoky scarab]

Somewhat emergency if you use it every time and can actually forget to go back to change it

[tired harness]

If I am ever "telling someone in my world" I would be. 😁

guys im want to play this game i have 0 knowledge about it, can you guys give me some feedback, btw my friends say the game is bad without knowing anything about it , need some opinions

i feel like im gonna play this alone xd

[vivid quiver]

Well the generally accepted way to enjoy the game at its fullest is to start solo. Gotta get a hang for the mechanics and the expectations.

Its also a harsh game that sometime punishes hard for seemingly no reasons. Hard enemies pops up randomly and sneakily. And coming up on top of all that feels awesome.

[dusk apex]

Was sleeping whats hhs? What is blaxk forest food ? Currently blue berries strawberry and neck or boar meet is what I eat

Also a way to level your halberd faster ? Or just kill shit more

[proven dagger]

How is the square dude next to you in the pineapple doing?

[tired harness]

Food is broken down by the primary stat it provides. Health, Stamina, etc.
You then have 3 slots to fill.
So HHS is Health, Health, Stamina in terms of the food type you are eating.
Black Forest food is food found specifically in that biome.

ty

[vocal trout]

It always makes me sad somehow when I see regulars just disappear.

Makes me wonder why

[wise haven]

My idea was to have different bases across the map in different biomes as I go along, and each base has a portal that leads to spawn, and at spawn there is a portal hub that takes you to any of the bases. So basically always just portal to spawn then the location you are trying to go

[arctic fractal]

What do you need to know?

[tired harness]

Alone is the only way I play. Very fun.

[fervent scaffold]

i have trouble finding games that make me wanna play,i think this game could be fun and before i buy it i would like yo know somethings like: the Game have some kind of principal mission or i can do what ever i want ? is it a technical game where I have to use Excel?is beginner friendly ?

[arctic fractal]

You're dropped in the world and have to craft items and build structures. It's open world so you can do what you like. However, there is a somewhat natural progression without having defined "missions". You will work your way through different environments and each environment can unlock items to help you enter into the next environment.

It's simple but what you choose to build can be as complicated as you like.

Start the world.
Craft some tools.
Gather materials.
Build a home.
Explore and build outposts to help you explore.
Build rafts and ships and sail to distant lands.

[tired harness]

Beginner friendly. There are a few enemies that have a "best" weapon but by and large everything is within 5-10% of everything else, so no need to spreadsheet. (Sincerely, someone who did spreadsheet the game 😄 )

Principle mission exists but it is largely just an exploration/survival game with the "mission" being tied to the progression you'd naturally take anyway.

[storm anchor]

There is ingame guide in form of friendly raven who explains game mechanics for you. 👍

[arctic fractal]

For $20 it has one of the best joy-to-cost ratios i've seen in many years.

While playing alone is fun, playing on a large, active, friendly server takes it to a whole new level.

[tired harness]

Definitely a perspective thing. And that's the beauty of it.
If you enjoy group servers -- this game has got you.
If you enjoy solo -- this game has got you just as much.

The only way I have even done multiplayer is "we are all on this world but we each have our own separate island/area and it's basically like playing solo but you can visit other people's builds" 😄

[fervent scaffold]

okey guys i think im gonna give it a try

thank you so much🐢

[arctic fractal]

I play on a server of over 100 members... active admin who seek out trouble makers and remove them. Admin-built infrastructure, portal hubs (later in the season as to not ruin gameplay) resources that spawn, trees that regrow, dungeons that reset, and mamy individual groups that do their own thing and many solo players that do their own things. I was solo for a couple years before deciding to try a group.

It's pretty neat discovering villages built by players and going on rescue missions or getting rescued.

[lunar lion]

Hi! Does anyone use the PlanBuild mod to play Valheim? Trying to get your thoughts on how it feels to play for my own game.

[tired harness]

#mods-discussion

[tired harness]

Valid.

Also I just got the Troll raid and I'm sitting here with Iron Buckler and Wolf Spear so... uh... ya'll picked the wrong house 😄

[arctic fractal]

If i ever need copper, early game, those trolls are my best friends. I hate mining that stuff by hand 🤣

[tardy vale]

the new bears also can help out 🫡

[arctic fractal]

Nice. I haven't tried using them yet.

[warped citrus]

Finally I travel to my home city again tomorrow. Or today since it is already Friday. I got a new apartment, much cheaper than previous. I was in hostels and in my mothers place for a month. Meaning voluntarily homeless... or like i call it, homefree. I was able to play Valheim again plenty on the road and on hostels. Sweeeet. I kinda hope I would not have taken a new apartment yet... i wanna travel more.

I guess I can play Valheim now at night, and on a morning bus.

Now I had an idea...

I could make buildings in Valheim with the same floorplan that I used to play Valheim in hostels in Tallinn, Riga and Vilnius. And other places in Finland. Hmm. I took photos so i could model the buildings that way

Tallinn has that old town, which is like a castle with walls

Good idea? Hmm

[wise haven]

How many active players?

[arctic fractal]

It depends on whats going on.. i've seen it at around 100 on biome update weeks.. but lately it's been dancing around 30. Average is 40-60

The speedrunners tend to drop off quickly in the season

[wise haven]

Is your server looking for any new players? I've been looking for a server to play on

[arctic fractal]

They're starting a new seed on the 14th but i may not play a whole lot. Im waiting for deep north. You just have to go through a short whitelist process and they are always accepting new players.

I dont know the rules on mentioning servers, here, but i'll dm you a link to the discord when i find it

hey guys, I'm having an issue with my save files, does anyone know how I can fix an issue where my client is showing a world as being on the cloud, but I can't move it to local bc it says a local world with that name already exists?

I emailed myself the world from another machine where I have the latest version of the world set to local

but I can't get the game to let me use it

on the other machine I can use it fine, but it's a laptop and not where I do my gaming at home

I dont have the best history with Rockstar employees

I used to sell in bulk on eBay and I got an order from their Scotland studio and the guy left bad feedback for no good reason

Sorry if I’m ruining something but if yall don’t mind can yall tell me if this line I thought of makes sense?

[storm talon]

In the gray dawn of the northern realm, the banners curl in the wind. A kingdom once proud stands broken blackened timbers half‑collapsed walls, the clamor of war still echoing across its open fields. Knights in mailed helms ride no more with song and horn, but with silent dread in their chest, for the land is changed.
Magic flickers in ruined towers, the runes faintly glowing on stones where ancient sorcerers once spoke.
Now those stones pulse with the memories of fire, of siege engines, of survivors.

I’m just trying to make it sound cool I could possibly make it longer but I’m stuck 🧠

[storm talon]

Afternoon.

Hey can someone give me an opinion on another poem?

They say dreams are safer than the waking world, but dreams dissolve the moment you reach for them.
You live in a temporary Funland,
bright lights, soft sounds then black.
Reality waits, sharp-edged, unpainted.

I’m not afraid of what comes after death.
I’m afraid of losing what I’ve longed for,
the laughter, the touch, the faces that make me real.

To live is to walk through fear, to fail, to rise, to try again because morality drives the few who still want to be remembered, not by name, but by the life they dared to live.

Valheim is missing out on a goldmine
if WoW can sell housing items for real money, Valheim can sell in-game tables for like $0.99 a piece and be rich

I can't believe what I read is real

[slender marlin]

not sure how this makes sense, but probably i miss the other games comparison part

[tranquil kernel]

Please no, let's not poison Valheim with microtransactions 😖

[tight thicket]

I personally would not mind paying to unlock the Odin stuff dlc to be honest.

[slender marlin]

Oh now I get it, ofc please no... But I'm also quite confident they don't wanna

[storm anchor]

They have been quite adamant on not adding paid DLCs in Valheim.

[obsidian haven]

Ok hear me out
lox armor, aesthetic only.
9 dollars

[frail pond]

It's tricky because I would gladly support Iron Gate further, microtransactions can be done well.

[obsidian haven]

god i didnt realize it was that expensive holy shit

[crimson inlet]

each build piece 🤑

dining set
chair $0.99 x4
table $0.99
Tablecloth $0.25 x2

Deleting items is non-refundable, if I want to move it, you gotta delete it and buy again
make me a CEO I'll make a billion dollars in 20 seconds

[obsidian haven]

tbh i would pay 5 dollars for steep roof pieces, but i think we are getting those with deep north anyways
unless my perspective was waaay off

[frail pond]

Yeah joking is all well and good, but there are likely some good options. SCUM does things called Supporter Packs, where your game has more variety in some places, with little perks here and there.

[obsidian haven]

eh...
I'm getting myself a big lox plushie for christmas

Oh, bot.

[lilac hamlet]

A little off beat question for anyone interested. Has anyone ever tried to make something close to eyescream? Or at least something that's edible and at least looks like it?

And I mean in real life of course.

[frosty walrus]

What kind of eyeballs would be best?

[storm anchor]

Is there IRL version for frost glands?

[umbral fog]

Probably would have to substitute it by liquid nitrogen or at least dry ice 🤔

[storm anchor]

Sounds... Healthy.

[umbral fog]

It actually is sometimes used to make ice-cream at science shows, it is nothing dangerous but just too costly to make it with liquid nitrogen or dry ice all the time 😄

[lilac hamlet]

I'm only talking about something that looks like it but still edible.

[storm anchor]

Ah right, haven't stumbled upon too much chemistry since high school.

[lilac hamlet]

I've been told it looks more like a slushy than ice cream.

Either that or soft serve.

How does trading work? Or are people just evil and kill people and take there stuff when joining a server?

[brazen coyote]

I have zero doubts such servers exist, but nice, friendly trading occurs on servers I have been on. Been over a year since my last time.

[midnight hedge]

The only way someone can kill you is if you personally turn friendly fire on.

[unkempt rampart]

trollstaff, new blob bombs

[midnight hedge]

Huh. Interesting

[vivid quiver]

Trading isnt supported by this game. You will essentially have to settle with making a system, and trust your trade partner for it.

some powerlines near my town's highway got messed up by fallen trees

Alot of sleep today.
It's fathersday in Sweden

[frail pond]

Ah, good day to rest 😴 😌

[tardy vale]

All rest, no work

Just as it should be

[outer shadow]

Is it just me or is the random 5 Spirit damage bows get in ashlands just random

[storm anchor]

They get extra 5 spirit per quality, so 15 when upgraded to quality 4 (currently not possible without console commands).

Mistwalker also gain extra spirit damage similarly IIRC.

[outer shadow]

Yea but we only get level 2

[umbral fog]

On gem variant weapons

[vivid quiver]

lets be honest, its not like the predicted 15 spirit damage is significant on level 4 either

[tired harness]

Spinesnap doesn't hit 4 even after Ashlands forge upgrades?

[vivid quiver]

they talking about ash fang

[tired harness]

Ah. Man I cannot read this morning 😭

[vivid quiver]

also I noticed that the warrior is a lousy baker. Im baking lox pies and theres a piece missing on every one of them!

[storm anchor]

Normal Ashfang can be upgraded to quality 3, gem versions only 2.

[outer shadow]

Who the fuck used the non gem versions

[tight carbon]

The people who don't have the gems yet.

[vivid quiver]

I do

[outer shadow]

Okay but like if you have them?

[frosty walrus]

Flametal weapons can be upgraded to level 3 for more durability

[vivid quiver]

I like my weapons to have high durability. I think the gems are a hassle to get, and I dont think the special effects are reliable enough for me to use them.

[outer shadow]

Oh to me they're game changing

Thunder axes are literally a deal breaker to me

[frosty walrus]

They didn't need rng

[outer shadow]

It's 25% and If it procc all the time its busted if you weaker the effect it's worthless

If you 1/4 the damage but 100% chance id be fine i guess but i like chain lightning

Paralysis is genuinely insane

[frosty walrus]

There are other ways to trigger things than having a chance on hit or on every hit

[outer shadow]

Like?

[frosty walrus]

After a certain amount of damage is dealt?

[outer shadow]

That makes it scale bustedly with skills

[frosty walrus]

Chain lightning could just be on secondary, or fully charged bow hits. Not sure how it would work on a crossbow

[outer shadow]

So on crossbows i use poison on bows i use shock

My logic is single target vs multi

Axes for multi fire sword of the jolly rancher looking mace for single

[storm anchor]

Klossen ftw.

[outer shadow]

It looks so stupid i love it

[tranquil kernel]

jolly rancher mace 🤣 It totally does!!

mm...green apple THWACK

[storm anchor]

It's super control weapon. Keep enemies away with the knockback and when root effect hits, which to faster weapon.

Basically kloss means brick in Swedish.

[tight carbon]

green jolly rancher then lightning axes

[storm anchor]

Klossen and Primal axes against Lord Reto.

[tranquil kernel]

They should make the axes look like Swedish Fish

[outer shadow]

RIGHT?

[tight carbon]

They were bros, man.

[outer shadow]

Am i the only one who thinks the Ashlands is the worst biome

And not because of the difficulty

Sup. New?

yes, i "just" started play valheim

🤨🤨

[icy niche]

and i just found the server

[storm talon]

Dunno whats with the “” don’t really understand it but I ment if you just joined the Valheim server.

Tho if I just said something mean sorry dude ._.

And if I misunderstood again sorry

[icy niche]

it wasnt meant to be rude sorry 😅 i just joined the server 😅

[storm talon]

That’s ok I’m just very bad at understanding people often.

[icy niche]

Realatbele

[storm talon]

I’m not spending around many people cause of a project as I’ve told many I’m doing. Not forced just stressing.

Plus during it I prefer quiet.

Oof I’m yapping

[icy niche]

sound interresting what are you working on?

its okay to yap

[storm talon]

a book / novel (maybe)

Dunno if I’ll publish it but I think it’s a nice way to spend my time. I’ve wasted enough of it already.

[icy niche]

what is it about ?

[tardy vale]

[storm talon]

That’s the problem A

[tardy vale]

[icy niche]

[storm talon]

I don’t have the landing zone yet.

I’ve created 11 ideas 11 story lines (if said right) for each book.

But it’s all so confusing on which I wanna write first.

[icy niche]

maybe try to write like 10 sentences for each story and pick the one from there to see which you think was the best? if it makes sence

[storm talon]

That would make sense wouldn’t it.

An odd idea I’ve thought of was. Well actually yeah very odd ._. I was just brain stroking random things.

4 kids from 4 different realities put into one world they have to find they’re way out of. No this is not an isekai. Their is no “earth destroying monster”

How do i put it..

It’s a little confusing.

[icy niche]

No no i like the idea of it

[storm talon]

Could be better. If I had the story in check.

It’s mainly like a sort of expedition built on realities.

._. Basically the 4 different realities. This world takes the memories of the reality they lived, they perceived, fears, joy and puts it all into one odd reality.

[icy niche]

but is it like 4 people from difrent realities that meet somewhere unknown and have to get back to theyre own reality?

[storm talon]

Sort of like that I guess. Tho it’s not an official idea. It just popped up

[icy niche]

it low key sound like " The hollow " if you know what that is

[storm talon]

Wish I knew.

I’m just reading a few books to get the jist of how some manage to do what they do very well

[icy niche]

its where 3-4 kids get trapped somewhere they cant remeber anything not wven there names and have to get out of the world they are in

[storm talon]

Oh no they remember..

If they did end up their with no memories where would they go if they don’t remember where to go

But it’s suppose to take real world facts into the book that people irl struggle through.

[icy niche]

okay, but you should watch that show it sound like the idea you have just a little difrent

[storm talon]

I probably will.

Also both Count of the Monte Cristo movie and book is good ._.

[icy niche]

sounds interesting maybe i shoud watch that some day

[storm talon]

Have any of yall tried to beat Valheim without any armor at all? (Capes allowed)

[storm anchor]

Probably some people have tried at least.

[storm talon]

I’m trying to either do it with a very weak pair of armor (can’t switch) or without.

Basically the weakest pair I can find

[gray crypt]

most of the speedrunners I've watched do it that way.

[storm talon]

that’s cool.

[tardy vale]

plenty of people do that

[solar cape]

where can I find a friend to play valheim with? I played it once some months after it launched, but haven’t seen it since

[valid marlin]

Why is there giant mosquitos in like the most relaxing looking biome😭

[vivid quiver]

You already said why

it "look" relaxing

[tired harness]

It's relaxing because the giant mosquitos killed all the giant things before you got there. 😏

[valid marlin]

Tbh id rather meet the giant things than giant mosquitos

[tired harness]

They die in one hit so 🤷‍♂️

Pure glass cannon enemy.

[valid marlin]

i just saw one and ran tbh

Not going back for a while

[tired harness]

They also make really good arrows in terms of damage for mass production.

[valid marlin]

mosquito arrows?

neat

[tired harness]

Yeah. No wood required. Just needle + feathers.

[valid marlin]

Does the arrow suck blood from enemies that you can use for blood magic? I have heard theres blood magic later in the game

[vivid quiver]

there is blood magic but its absolutely not how it works

[tired harness]

Mountain is before Plains in progression, and once you're rocking better food and that armor they aren't a threat at all.

[tired harness]

Magic isn't until Mistlands and a lot of farming.

[valid marlin]

Nice, I love farming
