It's not dubstep, it's ||edited seal grunt||.

[quiet oriole]

Bronze Atgeir is great vs the trolls, you can block the attack with the atgeir then stab the troll for massive damage

[tired harness]

Spears, my beloved.

[lone nymph]

Long time since we heard any Valheim news

[tardy vale]

yup

usually end of month if we have any news to give

[wild egret]

Why?

[rugged stag]

Moderation matter

[arctic vector]

When is the next Dev's blog coming? We want newssss

[storm anchor]

There is one week left for January, have patience.

[wild egret]

Ok

[wild egret]

Im ready

[rotund olive]

whats a good way to like kill the npc's in the crypts?

[storm anchor]

Sunken crypts? The ol' reliable battleaxing.

[tardy vale]

I just shield, block, perry, slap with melee weapon

usually

[hexed drift]

parry, apply special, enemy ded, move on

[rotund olive]

so like how do you parry

[tardy vale]

or as some people do

fireball, fireball, fireball

[tardy vale]

just block at the same time as the enemy uses an attack

[hexed drift]

as the power of a fireball increases the amount of interactions it fails to solve approach zero

[rotund olive]

dont even know how to get fireballs ngl

[storm anchor]

Later.

[hexed drift]

kinda endgame stuff for now

[rotund olive]

is it like magic

[hexed drift]

ye

[rotund olive]

nice nice

i only got into iron age yesterday

[storm anchor]

You have 3 biomes ahead to gain access to ||magic tools||.

[rotund olive]

gulp im really scared of the plains

[hexed drift]

honestly? if you lived trough the early swamp you wont mind plains

[rotund olive]

yees

the swamp is easy i dont get why people say its hard

the only annoying things is the crypts, so crowded and tighyt

[hexed drift]

well, its a matter of luck

swamp can kinda kill you at random with 2-star archers

[rotund olive]

yeah thats happened one or twice

most of the enemies do poision dmg only

[hexed drift]

which is why root armour trivializes the swamp

resistance to the arrows and the poison

[rotund olive]

oh i never knew

[hexed drift]

resistances are overpowered

[rotund olive]

so whats better root armour or iron?

[tired harness]

Whichever you, personally, prefer to wear.

[scenic wing]

Swamp is pretty tough when you’re relatively new. Permanent wet skews your stamina regen, poison is long and deadly, movement is more strict. Lot of factors go into its difficulty imo

[hexed drift]

root is almost universally considered superior by a considerable margin
but iron does have some minor advantages

[tired harness]

All armor is pointless if you block 😄

[scenic wing]

Ah shit, here we go again!

[tired harness]

Every single night, and every single day... 🎶

[hexed linden]

Hi, i'd like to play velheim tonight. Unfortunately, my friend who hosts the world is away. I'd like to play a world which is similar, in terms of progress, to mine. Is there a repo I can check out?

[rotund olive]

I just saw odin (i think) for the first time

[tardy vale]

if you ask your friend. either ask for the seed, or a copy of the world

[hexed linden]

he is out of home 😄 I already tried XD

[tardy vale]

yeah.. you need the seed so :/

[uncut hedge]

is there a mod where u can breed all Animals & Tame em?

[hexed linden]

ok but I am happy to use a world made by somebody else which is, more or less, in the mid/advanced stage of the game

[tired harness]

#mods-discussion

[rotund olive]

i dont think most people will give up there worlds

[hexed linden]

ah

[plain kraken]

You can easily make it not annoying by making a Battleaxe.
Massive stagger, wide sweeps, no cleave penalty, and all the aura a rising viking could ever need

[tired harness]

I just wish the first swing on the BA was like... 0.1s faster.

TF does that even mean?

[tardy vale]

it's a bad joke on american spicy stuff

[tired harness]

Yeah, it has no lead up and zero punchline.
Hence my asking what it means.

[austere jacinth]

People love the root chest in particular because it gives you pierce resistance and a lot of things do high pierce damage (deathsquito, any starred draugr archers, seekers)

Its not uncommon to see people mixing the root chest with later armor for that reason
You can also get pierce resist from the Serpent Scale shield

[hexed drift]

yeah but that shield costs you the parry

[calm harness]

More armor in this game should give resistence ngl even if its a slight one

[umbral fog]

I am honestly surprised it was not nerfed a bit in CtA update, it is quite the op item 😄

[hexed drift]

well, its fire weakness and low defense balance it somewhat out and having tech options like these is better for the game

its uber busted in the swamp specifically but like, we

[umbral fog]

Well, it is very busted anywhere after swamp except mountains and maybe ashlands (and there it is still busted against boss) i would say 🤔

[hexed drift]

plains has significant fire dmg, mountain caves are a no-go zone, mages and gjalls in mistlands and the ashlands are basically one large "dont" sign

[umbral fog]

Plains also give you a way to overrite the fire weakness tho 😄

[hexed drift]

true that, but a consumable tax is also a downside

[umbral fog]

True true, but while consumable, its also extremely cheap

[hexed drift]

still takes up one of your inventory slots and crafting stations

which could go to health potions or other stuff

and lets be real, bonemass is a 5 min improved version of the root harnesk and a prime "oh sh" button

[umbral fog]

I am one of the, apparently, few people who dont really have a problem with inv space 😄 so while true i personally dont really see that as a big downside for the advantage it provides.

[hexed drift]

again, im not saying the item is bad, quite the opposite
but i merely consider it an interesting sidegrade

[umbral fog]

Not anymore, nerfed in CtA so its no longer the "Ha ha i win" button thankfully 🙂

[hexed drift]

it was the best power by a large margin so that was sorely needed
still is probably xd

[umbral fog]

Yeah it was by no means balance with other powers before 😄

[frosty walrus]

Many of the other powers were buffed and even before eikthyr was still good

[hexed drift]

yeah, but bonemass was so ridiculous that even several hits with the nerf bat didnt send it to the bottom

[cyan creek]

@wild egret please spoiler on your meme for those who don’t want to see any spoil before the biome release

[wild egret]

Oh sry

[austere jacinth]

They took my two favorite powers, Moder and Fader, and made them all Moder xD
So now I love Moder even more mwajajajaja

• 10% speed? + 300 carry? + summonable wind?
  YES YES YES!

[tulip mauve]

I feel like meads are so cheap that the fire weakness barely is a downside

Especially because a lot of people will drink wine anyways when facing fire mobs

[tardy vale]

nice that someone became happy

[brazen coyote]

I'm simple. 99.5% of the time I am happy with just the Eikthyr power.

[tired harness]

I run Eikthyr until Moder.

Well.. Eikthyr until Elder, use Elder for copper, then back to Eikthyr until Moder.

[brazen coyote]

The durations are too short for me to bother. I'd use Moder more but I am usually already in the boat, far from shore, when I think that I should have went to get it. 😄

[tardy vale]

same 😄

[tired harness]

I use Moder more on land than anything 😄

[brazen coyote]

Why?

[tired harness]

10% Movespeed and weight increase.

Mining until I am encumbered, then pop Moder to run it all back.

[brazen coyote]

Guess I am just too accustomed to dealing with those needs by avoiding needing that solution.

[tardy vale]

any kind of thing you do in valheim, pop Eikthyr. run run run

[tired harness]

Used to never hit encumbrance, now I am allowed to.
So it is not me saying "hey they fixed this."
It is me saying "hey they added this, so I will use it to full potential."

[brazen coyote]

Except when encumbered. Aside from swimming.

[brazen coyote]

Yeah, I just stick to the old ways. Only can carry 23 silver and not be over encumbered? OK, thats what I am going to do. Not take a few minutes to go get a power that I will then want to switch back to Eikthyr ASAP.

[gritty heath]

I enjoy the ol "dude get over here pick up 30 stacks of iron and stand on this cart"

[brazen coyote]

Never did that. Never had more than a cart could carry.

[wild egret]

@rugged stag why did you wanna talk to me?

[tardy vale]

I think @rugged stag went is sleeping atm. but he will send you a DM when he's back

[wild egret]

Ok ty

[eager silo]

Hi there, are we safe to start a new seed and have it compliant with1.0 as long as we dont explore the new biome so it populates or is 1.0 changing the client significantly?

[scenic wing]

Your worlds should be good as long as you don’t explore the deep north 🙂

[eager silo]

Wonderful Thanks!!

[austere jacinth]

Irongate usually recommends you start a new world to get the best experience for the world generation. But they understand that people like to use the same worlds.

If you want, it is possible to upgrade old worlds to the newest generation using the Upgrade World mod by Jere. After the upgrade the mod isn't needed anymore. So technically, its always possible to bring a new world up to work in current Valheim. Provided you are willing to use Upgrade World to "fix" the world file. After that you don't need any mods, its just a normal vanilla world basically.

For example, I run a public server that was created before Mistlands. Yet it has modern Ashlands. That is thanks to Upgrade World by Jere 🙂

[brazen coyote]

I remember Jere. Or at least, a Jere, who used to hang out here.

[austere jacinth]

Jere is amazing I have lots of respect for him. He keeps his mods up to date and regularly works on them and has done so for many years. He has done a lot for the modding community in Valheim and I am really grateful for that 🙂

But its also a common name in those lands 😉
So might not be the same person !

[brazen coyote]

Pretty sure the Jere I remember did mods, so a higher chance they are the same person.

[tardy vale]

shouldn't be much problems doing that. just avoid going to deep north

[eager silo]

Thanks for the details!

[tranquil kernel]

@tardy vale I come bearing a message: how might one appeal a ban decision for the channel? "would you be so kind as to perhaps ask smiffe about ban appeals, the robot that banned me directed me to mod mail which i can't use if i'm not a part of the same server"

[knotty shard]

ive never used anything other than eikthyr and the bronze pendant and im in the mistlands now 😭

[sacred fiber]

Do you know of any communities or Discord servers that play hardcore? No map, no portal, inventory wipe, lots more raids?

[gray crypt]

You can ask in #1024264966712340510 . Someone there might have such a server.

[sacred fiber]

Tank

[bold wharf]

anyone broken fishing yet? trying to get the bobber to land in the water in a way that still gives me XP when I cannot continue to rheel it. hoping for hold to grind Fish XP

[tardy vale]

There is usually no ban apeals since unless it's a multiple rule violations to get banned. It's a instant ban by breaking a rule which mentions instant ban.

[rotund olive]

whats a good way to grind iron

[storm anchor]

Sunken crypts are still solid source.

[rotund olive]

im scared of dying bc my friend who plays the world with me is sleeping rn and i wanna get more iron

[tardy vale]

be extra careful going into them all by yourself

[astral cave]

You can abuse the gaps after mining iron with bow to shoot enemies and they can’t move to you

And bring poison resistance mead always

[quiet oriole]

Are people using Bonemass power a lot less now?

[chrome vigil]

The last weekend of january… I can see deep north soon

[tardy vale]

it will be out when it's out. you should wait for some kind of annoucement before assuming things

[rugged stag]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1171414605751406592/1459208890544689224/dn1.gif

So many assuming it releases on 5th anniversary day.

[rugged stag]

It'll drop when Queensland Australia gets snow

Edit - Deep North will drop, not sure when

[chrome vigil]

Vikings needs dreaming not needs SEE the reality 🥹

[tardy vale]

you refearing to the #suggestions about animation made of all dreams in game?

or was it voice acting that was suggested 🤔

[chrome vigil]

No, no, I just have a feeling it's getting closer and closer. I'm really looking forward to seeing that biome

[waxen peak]

Very soon we have Ashlands for about 2 years. I love Valheim, but the more i wait?, i cannot understand the devs. 5 years or so Early Access? 2 years for one biome? Sorry guys you have lost me.

[tranquil kernel]

Wait until they learn about massive game companies taking even longer despite a team the size of some cities

[storm anchor]

There have been longer times for games being on EA before.

[tardy vale]

closer every day 🙂

☕

[tardy vale]

We said many times not to burn out on valheim and don't just sit and wait for updates.
We aren't going to rush some updates out the door just to meet some deadlines to make someone happy.
The next update will be huge, it will overhaul some things, maybe add things here and there that wasn't there before.

But this needs to be done delicatly and with finess. not just slap it together and call it good enough

[barren anchor]

Hi just wanted to say thank you for all the hard work you guys put into Valheim. It's an amazing game and I've always had lots of fun playing it!

[sacred night]

When will you add achievements to the game and also provide a roadmap so we know about upcoming updates?

[storm anchor]

1.0 still.

[sacred night]

And what about the roadmap for the next steps? Has it been released yet?

[devout trout]

Last roadmap was scrapped a loooong time ago. IG doesn't like roadmaps, since they can set unreasonable expectations. Which makes sense. @tardy vale can correct me, but there's no roadmaps expected in the future.

[storm anchor]

Only roadmap that currently matters is 1.0 and Deep North being next, no timeline.

[tardy vale]

no roadmap

and what would the roadmap say?

[tranquil kernel]

“Here there be Vikings”

[tardy vale]

done

I feel so honored!

jajaja I love it !! 😍
Im gonna start saying this to people IRL who dont play Valheim

🫡

[rotund olive]

and armour

also is there a way to get rid of the lore stone things?

[gray crypt]

No. You can dig under them to lower them below ground level, then bury them.

[rotund olive]

ahhh, ok thanks!

[storm anchor]

Note that they "return" at their previous placement when you load the area again but will sunk back under after a while.

[rotund olive]

alr

[rotund olive]

do yk how to get ectoplasam i think its caalled>?

i want to make the training dummy thinh

thing*

[proud thistle]

idr if thats wraiths or the ghoul things.. if the ghoul things its in some burial caves in black forest. wraiths are in swamp during night

[rotund olive]

i think it might be the ghost skeleton things

[proud thistle]

ok those from what i have seen are kinda rare

apparently they Can roam the biome too (black forest). during night

Ghosts inside burial chambers.

[short yew]

@tardy vale I was wondering if Valheim’s low-res / retro-style graphics are mostly due to dev team size or technical constraints, or maybe also to make it more accessible for low-end PCs? If not, would you have gone for higher-fidelity visuals?

[storm anchor]

Visuals are artistic choice IIRC.

[tranquil kernel]

I think it’s an aesthetic choice

[tardy vale]

Absolutly not due to technical restraints 😄

it's a graphic style choice

Valheim started as a 1 dev project

I posted some unity games before when we talked about unity vs unreal

[scenic wing]

Too many games go for ‘realistic style’ and it gets old

[tardy vale]

unity can in my opinion go toe-to-toe with unreal

[short yew]

Yeah but there are other high-graphics styles

[storm anchor]

I personally like the choice in Valheim.

[tranquil kernel]

I like this style. Except for blizzards

[tardy vale]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r0KIUKXFrV8

this is mad

[short yew]

Like Enshrouded's somewhat cartoonish style

[tardy vale]

if you got the amount of VFX and tech artists to pull it off

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JzezSQdKJoA

or this VFX mad man

[scenic wing]

Enshrouded looks really nice as well!

[short yew]

Yes I got really excited about it when I started playing, mainly because of the visuals

Then soon enough I got bored of it and returned to Valheim

[tardy vale]

I didn't like the gameplay. I cheated to much with enshrouded 🙁

dug under the bosses, found pockets I fould just run forever inside the "mist" etc etc

[short yew]

Lol

I cheated on both games initially by getting veteran players into my game to build stuff and give me a ton of gear lol

Done the same on Return to Moria

[short yew]

You?

[short yew]

I think the style is perfect, but maybe there could be an option for HD textures for high-end PCs (keeping the original style)

That's basically what the HD mods do I think

[scenic wing]

We’ve had gnarly winter weather the past few days, roads are all frozen and all my job sites are closed 🤔

[tranquil kernel]

My office is closed too, but they have us working from home

[storm anchor]

Quite different view there compared to here. 👀

[knotty shard]

I looked at the HD mod... the textures just dont... mesh together the same if you know what I mean. The art style of valheim is fantastic. The sound design with real recordings really makes it feel like home

The pixelated graphics are very nostalgic

[short yew]

Willybach's HD Valheim?

[knotty shard]

I grew up with Diablo so it just feels right to me

[short yew]

Yeah I can relate to the nostalgia

I just love high graphics though

[tranquil kernel]

I grew up with the original NES. This IS high-def! 🤣

[austere jacinth]

Good graphics can hide bad game design
I prefer games that dont use their graphics as the main selling point
But Im a weirdo who basically only plays things from 1985-2005
Valheim is the exception xD xD

I really love the color and use of contrasting environments in Valheim. They do a really good job with that. Each biome has distinct color patterns and sunrises and sunsets etc I love it

[knotty shard]

The mistlands mixing with mountains biome is so pretty

[frosty walrus]

Dvoid was the first

[tranquil kernel]

Someone paint a Michelangelo-inspired piece of The Creation of Smiffe 🤣 with Dvoid giving him a lil boop 👉👈

[austere jacinth]

It also helps to start the server name with a
I ran a public server like that for a while. a pw is password
Its not viable for a normal Valheim server. Itll get griefed particularly on Sundays.

That being said if you are brave, you can learn a lot about their behavior by doing it.

• They are very short attentioned span and they will leave quickly after feeling bored
• They target the first things they can find so usually bases near the Start Temple
• They often use color html in their name
• They like to use player names like ODIN or LOKI
• They use tools to bypass the devcommand list on your server
• Technically they can just mod themselves admin access
• You can generate a list of the people who do this
• There arent that many of them and they usually have less than 60 hours in Valheim on their steam account

Personally I dont recommend you run a public server unless you use EWP on the server. EWP allows you to make the server automatically kick players who behave like griefers. It also allows you to publicize player actions, such as editing signs. This removes the anonymity and essentially erases the problem. EWP is server-side only so the players do not need EWP.

Managing a public server requires a few things to work...

• Player is kicked if Cheat Sword is equipped
• Player is kicked if Cheat Sledge is equipped
• Player is kicked if Trolstav is equipped
• Log players steam ID in discord when this happens to easily ban them (if needed)
• Use Discord Connector to make server activity visible to the community without being logged in (huge for grief prevention)

Unfortunately, players will always be able to log onto another world and spawn resources. There is nothing you can do to stop that unless you force an anticheat modpack. But this removes compatibility with crossplay and forces your players to use a modpack.
Personally Ive always prefered developing experiences where the player can join fully vanilla, whether on pc or xbox. Thats why I practice open development and run public servers. Its very meaningful and a fascinating way to learn more about player psychology and game design ❤️
Valheim is an incredible game. That being said, when you play it with a group of others who love Valheim... its a true masterpiece. I hope someday to see the public server side of Valheim open up more ❤️

[frosty walrus]

Does it check for NG+ levels on weapons and armor? Using commands, players can access an unused new game plus system for incredibly powerful equipment.

[austere jacinth]

It depends. The server cant see whats inside the players inventory.
That being said, it can see what they have equipped. Specifically the visualization of the item, the hash.

If the item is in the world, in a container, on the floor, You can react to an items quality level, along with any field in its data.
The player inventory and their skills are essentially a black hole to the server because their client manages everything not the server

[tired harness]

Isn't this why you just.. play with people you trust?

[austere jacinth]

Lots of people like Valheim but don't have somebody who loves it to play with. When Ive polled people on YT 1/3 of the respondents said they would play if they knew somebody to play with
Its complicated 🙁

[hard iron]

You don't have to, but the game is designed around that for sure, it doesn't really have the infrastructure for a more robust public server like many other games.

[tired harness]

Solo is de wae.

[austere jacinth]

Valheim really shines if the server has 1-4 active players a day. They dont need much. They dont even need to play together. Theres something about just knowing theres others out there that makes the world hit different. I dont understand how it works but Ive observed it

I dont think its a problem unique to Valheim. In general life is tough for a lot of people and they are lonely you know?

[vocal trout]

Just play with your AI boy/girlfriend

[frosty walrus]

De wae is playing with friends who leave the server before plains

[crimson inlet]

Before plains is a grace period for big builds, the team chills
After that, you progress

My team is the best

[austere jacinth]

The Plains is my favorite biome ❤️ ❤️
I love fighting Goblin its one of my favorite parts of the whole game

[crimson inlet]

Swamp is my favorite by far

[austere jacinth]

What do you enjoy about the Swamp?

[frosty walrus]

gathering metal is more than hitting the same rock with a pickaxe for 15 minutes

[crimson inlet]

It seriously simulates a treacherous environment
Unique to navigate

Walking through it is strategic

Of course those who have 9 billion hours know how to jump through
But the rest of us avoiding puddles and avoiding sprinting etc

Love it

The icing on top, there's iron hidden there all along

[austere jacinth]

It is also the source of one of the most sought after materials in the game !

Ive always found it amusing that the public is simulteneously frustrated by the swamp and also in love with its resource

[crimson inlet]

And wishbone is one of my favorite items
But they didn't fully utilize it

Imagine there being treasure under your base since day 1 and you never knew
That's what I wished wishbone did
No pun intended

There could be, but it's just amber or something

[austere jacinth]

There are underground chests like that in Meadows

I dont think players usually find them with wishbone though. At least, I always found them by just digging the whole ship site up jajaja. I believe there are also other underground chests in some other locations, I think the Grave in the swamp? I dont remember atm

[crimson inlet]

I used wishbone in midlands, Ashlands, and ocean
Nothing there

[short yew]

I agree

[short yew]

I think if Valheim had exactly the same style but higher graphics it wouldn't necessarily make it the main selling point

It would certainly make the game more appealing to people who appreciate Valheim's unique design (both gameplay and visual style) but just prefer higher-fidelity visuals

[austere jacinth]

Who knows maybe in 2040 Valheim will get an HD remaster jajaja

[frail pond]

I don't think they were saying higher graphics would be bad, just that it's a red flag when it's a large selling point.

[austere jacinth]

Yeah.. Higher Graphics are something bad game design can hide behind
Doesnt mean higher graphics are bad

I love to study old games for that reason. The designers had to deal with all these constraints and make up creative ways to overcome them. I miss that

[hexed drift]

better graphics are objectivly better
but if thats the only thing your game has going for it... yikes

[tired harness]

Better is subjective.

[hexed drift]

and in modern games: elden ring
its graphics are actually kinda crap for the tier of game it is
but if you play that game you regularly run into scenes where you can make wallpaper worthy screenshots

[tired harness]

Higher poly count doesn't always mean better graphics.
Smoother, sure. But not necessarily better.

[hexed drift]

turns out art direction beats sheer specs every single time lmao

[tired harness]

Indeed.

[mild moss]

Need better models for my Skyrim sexy Valkyrie mods (this is a joke)

[austere jacinth]

Have any of you ever played Vagrant Story for PS1?

[hexed drift]

no, but i played suikoden and breath of fire

which are both goated games (series) lmao

[mild moss]

I’m currently playing dragons dogma. Figure it’s been in my library for years

[austere jacinth]

Vagrant Story threw me for a loop. Its a PS1 game but its graphics and art are crazy good

[hexed drift]

the og? decent game

[mild moss]

Yeah enjoying it so far

[hexed drift]

the stats math is funky and the leveling system is troll but eh

you can giga break that game with some basic knowledge of how stats and leveling work

[mild moss]

Become a god in an rpg? Perish the thought

[hexed drift]

god as in two-shot the endboss of the dlc, yes

[mild moss]

It’s like cheesing moder

[hexed drift]

basically the game works this way
dmg x multiplier -defense = dmg taken
so you often deal no dmg and suddenly stuff dies in a second

even against resisted hits

but there is a way to double your dmg... and two classes are optimized to max their magic/atk stats....

and leveling means you keep those stats even after switching classes...

this leads to the funny mage 10/sorcerer 190/mystic knight build
or the even more broken warrior 10/assassin 190/ranger build

also makes split dmg completely worthless

[rotund olive]

What’s the fastest way to kill a troll and bear in Stone Age

[hexed drift]

spear + skill check

[rotund olive]

Educational purposes

[mild moss]

Bear have a torch in one hand, axe in other and dodge a lot

Troll spear and dodge a lot

[rotund olive]

Alr

[astral cave]

I was using bronze helmet before iron and bear chest and leggings. And food bear, dear and boar turkey

[tardy vale]

no. Dvoid

he started it

[rotund olive]

What’s the best gear for Stone Age

[astral cave]

I was using flint spear

[storm anchor]

You could craft deer hide armor pieces but they will get quickly replaced by bear or troll armor pieces.
Flint spear is best Meadows tier weapon IMO.

[astral cave]

But gear you can only get leather so I guess u ask for weapon?

Yep

And save up you leather scraps and deer hides for later, they get used often

[short yew]

A modern game needs both to be truly successful

[hexed drift]

not even remotely

there is a reason the old games from decades ago often surpass newer games in sheer quality, especially the old rpgs

art direction and a good sound track matter much more, even individually
the rest is gameplay (and story for some game types)

when you play E33 the thing to suck you in is the dialogue (especially the french dub, holy shit is that one good)

[short yew]

Yet still it caught people's attention first because of the sheer visual impact

[short yew]

And there's a reason why older games often get remastered. Especially more successful ones

[hexed drift]

in the case of E33? hardly
ER did that with the erd tree in the background and everything, but that game runs on gameplay and art direction alone

usually because you cant launch them on modern hardware lmao

also easy cash grabs

[short yew]

Yeah true

[manic halo]

Guys, is valheim good?

[hexed drift]

good alone, great with friends
and if you like building bases its supreme

[manic halo]

The combat is good?

Against mob or player (idk if have pvp)

[short yew]

Yeah

[hexed drift]

combat is good

[short yew]

I barely build anything but I enjoy the combat, exploration and sense of progression very much

[umbral fog]

It is overwhelmingly PvE, and the fight could probably be described as a bit souls-like

[manic halo]

Ohh, that's looks cool

[hexed drift]

tbf, soulslike is overglorifying it, even compared to DS1
but hey, most games cant beat DS1, never mind 3 and ER xd

[manic halo]

I'll dowload it then, just wanted to know some opinions

[manic halo]

Sadly ds1 need to pay

All ds need 😭

[umbral fog]

True, the combat is quite simple, but very enjoyable imo 🙂

[hexed drift]

its amazing how strategic it can be in its simplicity

[manic halo]

Which weapons valheim have?

And the bundle is good? The sounds

[umbral fog]

Axes, swords, spears, knives, maces, atgeirs(polearms), 2h-axes, sledge hammers and in late game magic

[hexed drift]

bows and crossbows

also grenades

[umbral fog]

Ah, true, forgot ranged

[manic halo]

Have greatsword?

[hexed drift]

one

[umbral fog]

Forgot that too, yes it has it

[manic halo]

It's good?

[umbral fog]

2/5

[manic halo]

How it works? Like, all weapons are balanced?

To play in your style

[hexed drift]

... kinda balanced, yes
every now and then something like frostner shows up but eh

[umbral fog]

All are fun 😄 and are balanced enough so you can just go with the one you like in almost all situations

[manic halo]

Ohh okk

I'll play with greatsword the. Haha

And the bundle?
It's cool the sounds I get?

[umbral fog]

Sadly for that one you will have to wait quite a bit, the fisrt one is unlocked quite far into the game

[manic halo]

Oh np, and spear?

[hexed drift]

not every weapon is available at every point and as you progress more options appear
spear is almost the earliest weapon you get

[manic halo]

The game have quest line? Or it's more a free open world that you do whatever you want

[manic halo]

Ohh ok, I'll play with spear first and greatsword after I get it

[hexed drift]

its free open world but you have a (kinda) set order of objectives

[woven shuttle]

you just have a big objective of killing all the main boss. But you are free to do it however you want

[umbral fog]

Just a heads up, the spear might not behave exactly how you expect, so if you find it weird i recommend looking into atgeirs as a substitute if needed 🙂

[manic halo]

What is atgeirs

[umbral fog]

A polearm

[hexed drift]

polearms you unlock somewhat early

[umbral fog]

you will get access to them in second biome

[hexed drift]

im personally a big fan of them and they kinda behave like you would expect spears to behave

[umbral fog]

Same 😄 and exactly why i recomended them

[hexed drift]

also they stunlock kill trolls so thats an extra

[manic halo]

I'll test pole arm then

And one last question,
The bundle is good? The sounds are cool or bad?

[umbral fog]

What bundle?

[short yew]

Soundtrack bundle

Kind of a pointless purchase I think

[umbral fog]

Very much individual i would say, also, not the only bundle currently availible so answer from the person i asked would help more 😄

[manic halo]

Yes

[manic halo]

But it's cool?

[umbral fog]

The soundtrack is undoubtedly cool as heck 😄

[short yew]

I've not purchased it myself but I assume this is what you get
https://youtu.be/G7RJpCTA1E0

[storm anchor]

I bought the soundtrack before the OST was available in Spotify.

[short yew]

It's available on Spotify?

Ah found it

Cool

[young warren]

any updates on the deep nort release?

[tardy vale]

no. read the channel topic 🙂

[tranquil kernel]

That’s another day 📆

[tardy vale]

https://tenor.com/view/yeah-yep-ya-gif-2495301426354871501

[short yew]

@tardy vale how come worn equipment doesn't have separate slots instead of being kept in inventory

[tardy vale]

because we don't want to

where do you keep your "stuff" ?

in your inventory in your armor?

magic pocked dimension?

🤷

[short yew]

Wym

I keep my stuff in my inventory

But when I wear my armour it should be on me

Not in my inventory

[tulip mauve]

Pretty balanced. There's a few weapons that are OP, but most are equally good just depending on your preference

[lyric remnant]

I agree with this, if I’m wearing my equipment then it shouldn’t be taking up my inventory space, because that equipment is part of me.

[short yew]

And I guess "inventory" is anyway kind of a pocket dimension if there's no backpack or anything

[tulip mauve]

Would imagine so, if you had to carry hundreds of pounds in a backpack it would be tough to sprint around the way we do

[lyric remnant]

And rightfully so if backpacks were a thing the heavier the items the slower you move much like how armor works with movement speed

[short yew]

That's how the carts work

Would make sense if the boats worked the same tbh

[minor citrus]

Honestly adding armor slots would be such a good QoL change.

[short yew]

Yes

That's the first mod I installed

It's a no-brainer imo

[tulip mauve]

Kind of, but the water does take away some of that concern

[lyric remnant]

Honestly if they made inventory solely reliant on backpacks that would be a nice change

Imagine having no inventory

[vocal trout]

Nah, keep vanilla vanilla, you can just mod the game to your hearts content.

[lyric remnant]

Until you put a backpack on

[short yew]

Yeah but slots for armour and worn items are a basic feature in pretty much every RPG

[lyric remnant]

I mean think about it, I only have 2 pockets, maybe enough to craft a start backpack?

[short yew]

I've yet to encounter one without it except Valheim

[lyric remnant]

Imagine being able to make multiple packs to go adventuring

[tulip mauve]

Tbh, I don't think this would be received well by the playerbase

Armor / equipment slots would probably be fine, not that I personally care either way

[lyric remnant]

Swap out this pack for this because of the materials it had

[vocal trout]

Eh, inventory management is a HUGE part of Valheim.

[lyric remnant]

I think we should start 2 or 3 slots enough to gather mats to craft a satchel or whatever

Then you inventory expands

[tulip mauve]

Inventory management was one of the reasons I quit Outward

In Valheim it hasn't been an issue for me. Though I don't know how big a fan I am of the portalling back and forth to manage inventory

[short yew]

Yes but it still makes sense to have armour slots. You'll still need to manage the rest, don't worry about that lol

[tulip mauve]

Then suggest it in #suggestions

If it hasn't been already

[tired harness]

I can predict the downvotes.

[tulip mauve]

Same

I don't recall seeing a suggestion to limit inventory space before though. Would be a nice change of pace

[sullen saddle]

Egg?

I think egg.

[cyan creek]

Omg my wargamer senses have been awakened #fanart message !

[lyric remnant]

My suggestion was too long have to wait half a hour lol

[umbral fog]

Too long or did you forget the 💡 at the beginning? 🤔

[tardy vale]

didn't you buy the deluxe version of Valheim the tabletop game?

that gave you access to your STI files so you can print as many warriors as you want

[storm anchor]

Too long.

[tardy vale]

I've already flagged it to discord as "this is not spam"

[cyan creek]

Sadly haven't brought the tabletop game yet. Don't have much time to play for the incoming years (engineering school)
Haven't even brought neither Silk Song nor Expedition 33 😢

[quick hemlock]

Crazy we have no word on the deep north yet

[tulip mauve]

I'm not following the deep north development particularly closely, but even I have seen many words on Deep North from devs

[quick hemlock]

not in months

[tulip mauve]

true

[quick hemlock]

i was really thinking it would be out by dec. or jan

[tulip mauve]

I'm not too interested in hearing about it though, just excited to actually play it

[quick hemlock]

for sure

[tulip mauve]

oof, yeah it doesn't look anywhere near that close. I feel we'd be a tad lucky to get it this year

[gritty heath]

imagine if there was a portal difficulty slider where you drop all non-equipped items when you go through a portal

[burnt rain]

Or so you can build portal horizontally so you have to jump into it

[gritty heath]

oh yeah you can do that with gizmo mod
basically mandatory for any kind of creative building for me

horizontal portals are fun for inventory management, you can put one at the bottom of your dump pit so you can get out despite being encumbered
tho you could accomplish similar in vanilla

[tulip mauve]

The vanilla solution would be to not jump into the trash can in order to dump your items into it

[tardy vale]

nothing at all?

not the channel topic nor the #news ?

[gritty heath]

gotta pick them up to put em in chests
now i do build the chests into the walls of the trash can to expedite this but its not perfect

[lyric remnant]

I want a pet seal from the DN

[unkempt rampart]

magic ice surfboards

[molten kayak]

Smelted blackmetal in DN 🙏

[tardy vale]

we have... plans 🤔

[umbral fog]

Heh, would be interesting
-# Also, welcome back

[knotty shard]

Wait this is awesome

[unkempt rampart]

https://tenor.com/view/top-men-indiana-jones-indiana-jones-top-men-we-have-top-men-working-on-it-gif-12212663

[storm anchor]

Hey, we have a newcomer here.

[onyx plaza]

Yo Wsp guys

Im thinking of buying this game

Should I?

[umbral fog]

Well, keep in mind that we might be quite biased 😄 but i would say yes if you can afford it and like survival games

[brazen coyote]

Yeah, we are all here because Valheim sucks.

I have over 5200 hours because I think Valheim sucks.

[storm anchor]

It's currently on sale for -50%, feels like stealing.

[fringe bear]

i bought the game twice... not sure why. still a bargain at twice the price.

[tepid peak]

The game still feels “finished”. Like I would be happy still if this was the final product

[covert willow]

Getting to Ashlands makes me feel finished.

[vocal trout]

Don't you want a conclusion though?

[scenic wing]

Everyone be sure to welcome him and help him with any Valheim related questions!

[austere jacinth]

It also feels complete to me, theres reasons Ive made content about Valheim for years xD

That being said I want it to be done so IronGate can feel the relief of finishing the game and then be free to do whatever it is they want to do after that ❤️
Theyve dealt with an enormous amount of pressure so hats of to them for sticking through over the years 🫡

I had a Youtuber talking crap about me once and dealing with all the comments from random people online and their agression and relentless critcism is really taxing... and I only had to deal with a small portion of what the people in IronGate had to deal with when the game blew up

[covert willow]

I think anyone reasonable would say the game is incomplete (unreleased main tier of content), rough around the edges (inventory design), and needs general balancing. But you can easily get hundreds of hours of play out of it.

[tranquil kernel]

…or thousands…

[brazen coyote]

Yep. I have about 5300, my wife has about 2700.

[tulip mauve]

Ive been on this server almost 3 years 😅

It’s been a glorious ride

[austere jacinth]

Thats why I like EWP 🙂
Anything im frustrated by I can just try to change
And then create a whole new problem in doing so jajajaja

[tulip mauve]

Since I started playing (around mistlands release) and now ive always felt like the game was prettt complete. Missing a proper ending and final biome boss dropping WIP drops, but otherwise it’s felt pretty polished. Don’t feel like ive run into a lot of bugs or unfinished mechanics, and the game is already longer than I had expected (honestly expected it to end at around plains when I played initially)

[austere jacinth]

It depends how one looks at it too right?
Ive never beaten Fader. I just havent felt the need to "beat" all the bosses in Valheim. I have so much fun working within Valheim worlds and such that other things are more interesting to me.

Its not just me though. Lots of players never kill every boss. I would wager that 90% of playtime is spent in the first 5 biomes (Meadows Black Forest Ocean Swamp Mountain)

I know a few people who just build in the meadows black forest era and thats how they play. They just make new playthroughs to do that part with breaks in between each etc

[covert willow]

YouTube creators and players with thousands of hours aren't the norm. The voices we don't have here are the people who don't stick around whose opinions shouldn't be discounted.

[north scaffold]

Game is pretty fleshed out, some of the later portions of the game become really grindy but overall as a multi-player experience I had an amazing time, over 100 hours and still in mistlands. We've stopped playing for now tho

[atomic radish]

This all sounds very fun

[austere jacinth]

I believe the average is around 60 hours? Something like that

[covert willow]

Sorry, do you have Steam's metrics available on this?

[austere jacinth]

I'm trying to find where I saw that it was on an analytics site

Ah yeah. Its an aggregation site called SteamSpy
Its an aproximation. They look at steam data from public profiles and then use that to create an average playtime for games

Followers: 510,436
Peak concurrent players yesterday: 37,213
YouTube stats: 50 new videos uploaded yesterday.
Playtime in the last 2 weeks: 08:57 (average) 02:56 (median)
Playtime total: 73:17 (average) 28:18 (median)

Keep in mind though thats just one subset of the Valheim playerbase. Wont include people with private profiles, xbox players, etc

[tepid peak]

My advice is in showing your love for something, their opinions do not matter. Its their choice in the end but it’s your love and passion that keeps you going, not the viewer. It’s a gift to show your passion to others

[fringe bear]

i dont think the game is that far away from 'complete'.
they could have thrown a 'game-ending' text after Fader and call it done, and it wouldnt have been that bad...

I'm sure they receive a lot of pressure to add things in the game to make it more 'gamey' and... lets say it, some kind of 'power-fantasy' game, as rpgs often are, but they are keeping to their initial design (i think) and i have a lot of respect for that.

one decision i didnt like was to change the ghosts. i liked not being able to see their animation, it added a unique challenge.
but its really not a big deal.

[rapid dawn]

Huh ? No… it’s not anywhere near done. there is a whole empty biome in the deep north and the ocean is barren and lacks purpose. It’s also wildly unbalanced and the crafting UI is so broken because it’s impossible to find anything. I had to make a mod just to be able to find things. Also, can’t even reposition furniture and chests without needing to remove every item from the chest. Again, mods required for that. So no, these are things that should not require mods. This is stuff that should be in the base game. It’s not complete.

[fringe bear]

i think its already a good game for 20$. it just lacks an ending.

i dont know what you mean by wildly unbalanced. i think theres some tweaks to be done, but its not too far off.
And the crafting being broken isn't accurate. it works. is it as convenient as it could be? probably not, but it works.

[vocal trout]

I think Vanilla is fine and that they should stick to their vision.
Mods exist for those that wants to change things.

[rapid dawn]

I agree vanilla is good. But some usability things are missing (crafting UI and redecorating furniture) plus the last biome and ocean biome need content.

[fringe bear]

i think theres a real risk to adding more monsters to the ocean.
the game is already punishing, but getting sunk and dying in the ocean is pretty much the worst.
Ocean serves as roads.

[rapid dawn]

There can be content in the ocean besides monsters.

[fringe bear]

i suggested mermaids that cant attack boat, but can attack players in water :B would be funny, no?

[rapid dawn]

Sunken treasure. Ocean caves. Shipwrecks. Mermaids. 🧜‍♀️ Sharks. Whirlpools. Seaweed.

[fringe bear]

theres also the issue that ocean is accessible at many different stages, including at start, with a raft

i dont disagree that ocean could use more love, i just am not sure how it can fit in the overall balance

[rapid dawn]

Yea, and it should be dangerous on a raft.

[vocal trout]

Yeah but then they would have to add diving system and thats another can of worms.

[rapid dawn]

No need for a diving system. Just have treasure that you can get with your fishing rod. Or add a fishing hook to the boat. Caves could have a pool you jump into to enter it.

Or diving could be a simple down / up mechanic. No lateral movement. Just go down. And return to surface.

[fringe bear]

i think when they added fishing, they wanted to make it useful but optional.
so if they devellop more content for fishing with the same mindset, the rewards would have to be very limited

i like the idea of whirlpools though. i got near the edge recently, and it was thrilling

[rapid dawn]

Well, as I said. Fishing is just one way to get treasure. It could also just be floating on the surface

[fringe bear]

sounds like good ideas to me. i just dont think the game is 'unfinished' without it.
i cant argue about that last biome though... its there, and theres nothing.

[rapid dawn]

The ocean is currently a HUGE part of the game and incredibly boring

[fringe bear]

ive been searching for the queen in a nomap no portal world for weeks now... i know it can get boring

[vocal trout]

Pretty sure it exist solely so you have to travel on boat extending the gameplay 😂

[rapid dawn]

I highly recommend a play of Zelda WindWaker for how to do ocean biomes correctly and fun.

[fringe bear]

i cant be the only one who starts humming that zelda wind waker ocean theme when they get on a boat, on a beautiful day :3

[dapper cloud]

not when you crash into the plains on a foggy night

I still would like to see more ocean creatures, like a kraken obv

the sharks were a nice touch but a kraken would seal the deal, ocean is awesome kinda thing

[frail pond]

More creatures that destroy boats would surely cause frustrations, especially if you encounter them alongside each other.

I think a whale-like creature you have to chase with a higher tier boat would be interesting.

Especially if they travel in pods(groups) and mix up their positioning.

[forest tree]

Valheim sure does go on sale a lot

[alpine thicket]

When great north please and thank you

[fringe bear]

when ready. you are welcome.
: p

(i might be able to take Smiffes job if i keep up the good work..! )

[storm anchor]

You must be fluent Swedish speaker first.

[storm anchor]

There is no timeline for the release published yet.

[tardy vale]

gl hf with that part of the job 🫡

[vocal trout]

@tardy vale I keep buying BrainRot but not drinking them.
Now last time I was at store I saw them for 16kr each and got another set.
Now I have 4 sets in the fridge and with that I mean the 4 flavors with one for each so x16 cans.

[tardy vale]

I still got those 4

still haven't tested any of them

[raven sierra]

would it at all be possible to add like a dual-wield/powerstance feature?

im running a spear/knife build and it would be great to have the spear in my main hand and the knife in my off-hand

just a thought haha

[tardy vale]

power stance?

[sharp bane]

@rapid dawn you can add mobs and locations to Ocean with mods now:)

But we waiting DN. And new part of Hervor's adventures

[rotund olive]

so glad i learnt ghow to parry

[gray crypt]

Morgen gjall.

[rotund olive]

👋

[raven sierra]

we've kinda already got it because of the Beserkir axes, but in souls-like games if you dual wield two weapons of the same type you unlock a unique moveset

[rotund olive]

anybody good at building?

[tranquil kernel]

#building-ideas #building-tips #building-screenshots will get you loads of good ideas

[narrow void]

Big fan of your mods

[potent slate]

I think build of the month should be two categories:
build of the month by Command Controls and by building using supplies naturally grind or earned in the game.

[rotund olive]

alr ty

[primal isle]

when was the last time this game got updated like big? is there any future plans for it? Loving it so far 🙂

[scenic wing]

Last august there was a big combat update, next big plan is the 1.0 release

[primal isle]

oh nice. i just speed read some stuff. a new biome

[rapid dawn]

yes, i know you can add them with mods. but the discussion was about what makes the game "complete" and what is still missing. mods don't work for xbox players. I make mods, so yes, i know what can be done.

[rapid dawn]

thank you 🙂 enjoy!

[real hill]

any updates on Deep North?

[storm anchor]

It comes when it's ready.

[frail pond]

Plenty, you can check #news for the latest.

[real hill]

A better question, do we have any window of time aside from stating 2026 for the 1.0 release?

[tulip mauve]

We don't even have that. There's no guarantee 1.0 will release this year

[frail pond]

2026 hasn't even been stated

[tulip mauve]

Valheim will come to PS5 this year though

[sharp bane]

PS5 don't have early access I guess, so...:)

[frail pond]

Yes it does

[opaque crystal]

did everyone survive the snow storm

[mild moss]

No. Am dead

[opaque crystal]

NOOOOOOO

[barren anchor]

Holy fricking moly I wish people would quit asking about updates constantly.

[frail pond]

🤷 They're excited

[barren anchor]

Like 1: there's a news channel to tell you this stuff. 2: you can just scroll up in the chat and see what the other thousand people asked. And 3: asking about the update isn't gonna make it go any faster

It'll come when it comes

[crimson inlet]

Jeez, it's 2026, stop complaining about people asking about updates
The trend fell off 2024

🪥

[barren anchor]

I shall complain about anything that upsets me 😡

[crimson inlet]

There's the problem 😎
It shouldn't upset anyone

Truth be told, it's been a looooong time since I've seen any unnecessary anger here
It was fun

[barren anchor]

I'll eat ur toes

Then you won't be able to walk

[crimson inlet]

Don't threaten me with a good time

I absolutely can walk without using toes

You'd just be more succeptible to falling forwards

[barren anchor]

True

[fervent patrol]

Man it will be a new generation before deep north is out

[scenic wing]

🖌️

[minor citrus]

or im tripping

[scenic wing]

Nope, I don’t believe they said that 🤔

[minor citrus]

oh

was mistaken than

[scenic wing]

In the time since Valheim went into early access; I met a woman, got engaged, bought a house together, and had two kids with her.

This isn’t me saying development is slow, I just think it’s a fun thing to say

[misty hedge]

Yeah. I immediately thought, this has promise and will take a while. I need to make a coop partner for when 1.0 comes out.

[scenic wing]

Yee, it’s been a fun ride since the game went into EA. It’s kinda crazy how far it’s come 🤔

To think, there was a time before barrels and candles…

[dusk loom]

When will there be any news about the update?

[storm anchor]

During this week if devs decide to publish new blog post.

[dusk loom]

🙁

[real hill]

when valheim released, i had zero degrees, no house, no kids.. and now that valheim still hasnt officially released. I have two kids, 1 degree, 1 professional license, and a house

one day we will set sail north with a purpose

[fervent patrol]

Enshrouded has done like 4 major updates before valheim has done one

[minor citrus]

enshrouded is dogshit tho

[fervent patrol]

nah its more fun than valheim

[minor citrus]

go pla it

[fervent patrol]

I do sometimes with my friend

[scenic wing]

Enshrouded looks interesting, I want to check it out this year. Hytale too.

[storm anchor]

Hytale looks fun. It seems to have battleaxes too.

I would prefer if it was on Steam tho.

[minor citrus]

+1

didnt try it caus it isnt on steam

[storm anchor]

Maybe later.

[scenic wing]

Oh right, forgot it’s not on Steam 🤔
Hmm idk then, we’ll see

In other news, Terraria update today

[molten kayak]

Yea I’m playing terraria for the first time today

[scenic wing]

Yooooo what!! Im so hyped!! Record and make videos?? 👀

Words can’t express how happy I am about this

[molten kayak]

Eh I’ll prolly just play the game and enjoy it

[warped citrus]

Agreed, that is a fun thing to say. You can also say many things like that about different things in life. Some simple, some not.

[scenic wing]

Fair enough, enjoy it!

[warped citrus]

For me, learning to do daily chores and keeping the apartment in order and cook and so on, well, has taken longer than the it took the land man on the moon. Plus Manhattan project, meaning developing a nuclear weapon, and in fact the whole second world war took less time.

We all got our difficulties in life i guess 🙂

[rancid pike]

Nah you nasty clean up after your self

[warped citrus]

Like I said, it might take a while...

[smoky scarab]

What I'd be interested in is how long until you stop believing blatant lies

[warped citrus]

Sounds like ADD 🙂

[storm anchor]

I also started new run. Since my previous seemed to be wiped out after update.

Well, it's fun to start anew tho.

[scenic wing]

Oh no! Well, at least you’re positive about it lol

[storm anchor]

It was long time since I played last time.

[scenic wing]

I hope my worlds are ok

[umbral fog]

That reminds be i should start playing a bit more too, recently started a new world with a group of fellow countrymen but didnt have quite enough time lately to play much. 😕

[storm anchor]

Once we tried to play co-op with my group, but some of them didn't warm up for it.

[scenic wing]

The music is soo good!

[forest hamlet]

I just want Valhiem on PS5

[storm anchor]

It's coming this year.

[forest hamlet]

My anticipation is measurable

[main sonnet]

And how many patches and hot fixes has Enshrouded done in that time, compared to Valheim's?

[unkempt rampart]

enshrouded has a bigger team of experienced professionals, and government grant money

[molten kayak]

Yea larger team, and they’ve made multiple? games before

I will say tho each update of enshrouded is phenomenal and the game is great

[vocal trout]

Comparing is cringe.

[unkempt rampart]

I wish enshrouded had proc gen, and valheim had more pois

[molten kayak]

yea

massively reduces the replayability at least for me

[tardy vale]

https://tenor.com/view/gitapro3-gitagita-gitapro1-gitajah13-gif-3421945902795778238

[barren anchor]

Lol no, thank you for all the hard work you guys put into the game.

[tardy vale]

We absolutly not said any kind of Q or year for 1.0 😬

[minor citrus]

yeah my bad sorry

[tardy vale]

1000's of games went past it's 5 year early access "timer" without going 1.0

valheim started in 2018 as a open alpha

so.............

[minor citrus]

yeah im okay with waiting...the more we wait the better it will be

[tardy vale]

2028 would mean 10 years

[fringe bear]

try an immersive mode playthrough. If you don't cheat, you will barely be able to finish it before 1.0 : P

[tardy vale]

immersive mode ? 🤔

[minor citrus]

kind of burned out, finished the game x times, just waiting for the update to hop back in haha

i never cheat, it just ruins the fun of game

thats why i hope devs remove devcommands

1st cause they will exploit it for achievemnts

just add creative mode and gg.. we dont need the devcommands

[fringe bear]

I think its one of those games that you have to restrain yourself from abusing commands, even exploits. and you have to trust the people you play with, because there is room for abuse.

[minor citrus]

i mean for those who want to build with no cost ofc

[molten kayak]

Dev commands are very useful for testing 🤔

[tardy vale]

want to know something? 😉

[minor citrus]

well keep them but make it that u cant get achivement if i acivate it

ye

[storm anchor]

"Cheater!" tag.

[tardy vale]

we already planned to block all and any kind of achivement unlock if you enable the devcommands

[minor citrus]

Thank you!!

[tardy vale]

hence the "cheater!" tag already is in place

[minor citrus]

thats awesome

[tardy vale]

Atm hardest achivement is "Having a coffee with smiffe in the limestone garden" 🤔

[native schooner]

Fpr that character/playthrough or all?

[minor citrus]

will you make finish the game on ahrd? achivement

hard

[tardy vale]

we'll see about that one

we need to actually balance the hard mode first

[minor citrus]

i love hard but friends dont rly, need an exccuse for them to play hard with me haha

[tardy vale]

right now it's just a % adjustment

I would love to have new attacks for bosses and possible some monster aswell

[fringe bear]

yeah hard combat mode, in the later biome, is very brutal

[molten kayak]

omg you made my day

[tardy vale]

that character atleast

[minor citrus]

that would be SICK

that would be game changing , love it

[tardy vale]

we would probably have to block so someone don't spawn things for someone else so they can cheat the achivements

[native schooner]

Ah ok i have a world that i used no build cost on the try out buildings... (pre modifiers)

[minor citrus]

its like in vrising when u play on brutal mode, bosses have differnet abilites and attack, makes it much more fun and interesting

[tranquil kernel]

That was my thought. If people are determined to cheat, they will find a way to cheat. Sucks for them but that's how it goes

[tardy vale]

yup

[tardy vale]

correct

something "new"

[minor citrus]

hope u manage to pulll tht one off, that would be so good

[scenic wing]

Would love to see an expanded hard mode

[molten kayak]

Don't answer if you can't / don't want to, but would this be a 1.0 thing or a thing post 1.0 ?

[minor citrus]

well if id would include achievemnt for hard mode i think it is with 1.,0

[fringe bear]

i think the coolest modifiers when using hard combat is the size and speed of creatures being turned up.

[covert willow]

No one actually cares about the sanctity of achievements.

[minor citrus]

id LOVE to see 3 star mob in hard mode

i do care

[molten kayak]

🤔 starred mobs are uninteresting in terms of difficulty imo

esp on hard /vh where it just means don't get hit lol

[fringe bear]

i can't imagine cheating to get achievement in a video game... but i'm sure some people will.

[minor citrus]

they look different

thats why they're cool

[tardy vale]

we'll see when we got time for it honestly. I'm not alone with these thoughts within the team. but 1.0 is a super slim chance for it. else hopfully 1.0.1 or later

[tranquil kernel]

They can, and they have, and they will continue to do so.

[tardy vale]

we aren't stopping with all development after 1.0

[fringe bear]

hard mode is already tuned that most normals mobs are already near 'starred' stats.
a 2 stars creature in hard mode is almost a 3 stars on normal

[molten kayak]

Word, i'm ecstatic you guys are even considering it

[tranquil kernel]

I've found when people feel particularly powerless in their real lives, they go to extraordinary lengths to feel powerful in pretend worlds.

[covert willow]

Which is why you shouldn't care about other people cheating at achievements. Achievements are good personal milestones to help seek out content in a game.

[tardy vale]

people go all Isekai?

[fringe bear]

I think its pretty obvious that a lot of video games are based on that 'power fantasy' thing, that raingibberdancer mentionned.
and thats part of the reasons why i think valheim is different.*

[tranquil kernel]

😭 Just Rain is fine. Smiffe gibbered me.

[tardy vale]

https://tenor.com/view/i-literally-have-no-idea-what-youre-saying-nathan-drake-tom-holland-uncharted-i-cant-understand-you-gif-25518010

[tranquil kernel]

Don't gaslight me like that! 🤣

[tardy vale]

https://tenor.com/view/gib-hedera-meme-cute-gif-12948008380755856488

[austere jacinth]

I think people care because if person A gets something through cheating then when person B gets it properly the achievement feels less meaningful for person B beacuse they have no control over person A's actions

[covert willow]

"Which is why you shouldn't care about other people cheating at achievements."

[austere jacinth]

Thats a silly thing to tell to people developing an achievement system xD
Of course it needs to be harder to cheat it. Otherwise it feels less meaningful

[covert willow]

This is all in response to someone who says they need to remove dev commands just so people don't cheat at achievements. Like what. You can find programs online that let you add/remove steam achievements in an instant. So don't stress how other people treat their achievements. It's irrelevant to how you treat them.

[tardy vale]

the devcommands does help alot tho

[covert willow]

Achievements are cool. I like achievements. They give me goals and direction in a game. But I'm not going to clutch pearls over someone else cheating them.

[minor citrus]

yes and even after u finish the game you still can play, if you want to achieve 100%

[austere jacinth]

Im certainly not bashing the usage of devcommands - I have thousands of hours in Valheim using them!
But I understand why somebody would want achievements to be disabled when players use them. That makes sense to me

[minor citrus]

otherwise when i finish a game that has no achivements i just burn out and stop playing

witcher 3 was by far the best with achivements,felt so good to finish em, elden ring also

[umbral fog]

For this one, maybe spawning the thing in could leave some sort of "tag" on it? 🤔

[austere jacinth]

It would be wonderful if there was a way to server or world lock items / characters 😍
Ive always had problems where players can just log onto single player and spawn basic resources and they always end up doing that even my favorite players
Like if items had a "worldID" field
And if that modifier is on, then the character gets rejected because they have an item with a mismatch worldID
Some kind of world modifier maybe

[fringe bear]

That might sounds weird, but i'm fine with valheim having an end...
Once the chase to kill the forsaken is done, theres no rp reasons to remain in valheim.

[minor citrus]

locking a character to a server would be cool

[tardy vale]

right now, it's the oposite

if you spawn something, it is without "made by"

[molten kayak]

is that true if you debugmode craft something?

[umbral fog]

True true

[umbral fog]

If you make it in free mode it will still say "made by"

[fringe bear]

that reminds me of that story in the last server i played. some guy died, didnt loot his body, and when others found it, it had lvl 4 gemmed weapons in it 😛
crafted by nobody, obviously*

[tardy vale]

no 🤔

[storm anchor]

Imagine having best quality of best items that are unobtainable without cheats and still dying.

[tardy vale]

only spawning leaves no tag

freebuilding does. I think

lemme rew up the latest DN build and test 😉

[umbral fog]

Now you are just teasing us

[barren anchor]

There's actually a mod for that exact thing

[tardy vale]

of course

[molten kayak]

Also I feel like the later upgrades just really don't matter all that much comparatively to the earlier biome upgrades if that makes sense

[tardy vale]

I even got a build outside of workhours I haven't tried yet. so it's mostly an excuse 😄

so ye. spawning leaves no marks, freebuilding it does

[barren anchor]

Tis a mod for that

[austere jacinth]

Yeah 🙂 AzuAnticheat is a good one !
I cant use those though. I practice vanilla compatible world modding, so it works with crossplay. Basically only server side modding.
Unfortunately the mods that do those things are client-side T_T

[minor citrus]

i dont rly like modding, i enjoy vanilla

[austere jacinth]

Valheim itself is beautiful ❤️

[barren anchor]

Lol it would still be vanilla, you'd just have server specific characters

[fringe bear]

same for me.
I'll resort to modding if i feel i have nothing left to do in vanilla.

[barren anchor]

Azuanticheat to enforce mods with the server characters mod should work

But yeah I suppose that wouldn't work for crossplay

[austere jacinth]

AzuAnticheat + Server Characters works great, but requires modpack 🙁

You can do loads of vanilla compatible antigrief with EWP
But at the end of the day server can't see the characters inventory. Gosh knows what could be there...

[barren anchor]

Can't wait for consoles to take the hint and implement local file browsing so they can get mod loaders and such

[austere jacinth]

If its ever possible to make freebuilding it with devcommands leave some kind of field data in the item that would be awesome. Something like

int:
- wasDevSpawned, 1

❤️

[barren anchor]

My buddy is getting valheim for his Playstation 5 when it releases on there but since console manufacturers are brain dead it's gonna have to be completely vanilla

[tardy vale]

field change?

[austere jacinth]

One second ill edit it to make more sense

[tardy vale]

serversided mods should work I think 🤔

[barren anchor]

Oh?

[tardy vale]

client always belives what the server and other clients tells it

[tardy vale]

ah. I guess we could do that. but it is still a dead giveaway things don't have a "made by" tag

[austere jacinth]

Sorry I didnt explain well. I meant when players craft an item in a workbench with debugmode on

[tardy vale]

ah

we probably could. but they will get the "cheater" tag anyhow

[umbral fog]

Yeah, but this would solve the "Cheater character making stuff and non-cheater character using it" proble

[austere jacinth]

There are ways to put mods on the server, while keeping the client vanilla (xbox, mac, playstation, whatever)
Expand World Prefabs does that. You can use anything already in the game, to react to anything the game does

I think thats what Smiffe was refering too 🙂

[barren anchor]

I see I see I'll have to look into that more once he gets it

[austere jacinth]

Generally if the mod adds anything new to the game, like a monster, or a weapon, then its client side.

If it uses things the game already has, then it might be server-side

Most mods are client-side but not all

[barren anchor]

Couldn't I use client side mods on my end and still play with someone thats playing vanilla?

[tardy vale]

yup

[barren anchor]

So what's stopping me from just running whatever mods I want with my Playstation friend...?

[austere jacinth]

You can but he cant

[barren anchor]

Okok I see

[tardy vale]

only the mod itself will

like "all players need to use the same mod for it to work"

[warped citrus]

Many games disable gaining achievements if you enable some kind of built in cheats, so i dont see a problem with it if Valheim decides to do the same thing.

[storm anchor]

It seems not be just "if" according to Smiffe.

[warped citrus]

Okay. I would have been surprised if you could get achievements by cheating.

[tardy vale]

correct

it shouldn't work. it should be blocked

[smoky scarab]

No matter what the achievements are, I will get all of them on a new world with a new character

[burnt rain]

There needs to be one called "Vegetarian" where all you can eat is veggies and berries and food made from that

[warped citrus]

Nice idea

Would be vegan if you also left out honey

[tardy vale]

plenty of people have completed a "vegetarian" run

[tired harness]

🙋‍♂️

[burnt rain]

According to those people .. I want official proof embedded as an achievement

[smoky scarab]

A health food enthusiast like myself would gladly complete a ketogenic run

[burnt rain]

Are you still vegetarian if you kill boars just don't eat their meat ?

[tardy vale]

careful not to go overboard

[smoky scarab]

I expect achievements to be more straightforward things like killing each bosses, using a portal, getting all the trophies, returning all the hildir chests, taming each type of animals, reaching max comfort, getting a dream, unlocking all crafting recipes ...

[burnt rain]

I only do that when picking up serpent meat

[burnt rain]

There has to be secret ones as well like killing Moder naked

[smoky scarab]

I'd like one that require you to complete the game without a single death

[burnt rain]

I would be sad if there are only 50-60 achievements. They need to take note from something like Barony with 230+

[smoky scarab]

Then again dying might be a requirement for all achievements if you need to unlock all of the hugin dialogues

[molten kayak]

Fishing hat achievement will be my bane

[fringe bear]

i know i wont be trying to get it

[frosty walrus]

Barony is a completely different kind of game

[tardy vale]

don't you worry

[burnt rain]

Thank you sir 🙏

[scenic wing]

Barony mentioned?? 👀

[burnt rain]

Si

[coral cedar]

It seems a number of my fellow vikings have excellent taste.

[warped citrus]

I am starting to feel better... i was traveling in Riga and then Tallinn when a flu hit me. Had to return home to Finland, but now I feel I might be able to play games or do something useful aside from resting.

Havent touched Valheim in almost a month when I started playing a seed dedicated to my friend. Sigh. He died and he is the one who brought me to Valheim. Still sad we wont be finishing our worlds or that he never saw the final game or even the last biomes since we didnt make it to ashlands with him...

The seed looks like he would have liked it. I dont actually remember much about even playing that since I was in a shocked state. I wrote here and elsewhere too something. I was not drunk or anything (i dont drink alcohol at all). But mind protects itself that way when traumatic events hit. Much of the pain stays in the fog .

[vocal trout]

Today is BREAD day

[gritty heath]

yeah everything in the game getting a flat +5-6 per level is a bit of a headache/disappointment when the base is like 170 (Slayer) instead of 35 (bronze sword)
the gain per level is 5x lower

would be super excited to see Hard/VH rebalanced :D
one thing I'd be interested in a shorter/stricter parry window in exchange for being able to parry the extra damage "correctly" - ie. blockpower multi equal to the incoming damage multi

[vocal trout]

When was YOUR last BREAD day?

[gritty heath]

I'd be very interested to see changes in the AI for starred/hard mobs
I know that was a big point of contention for the seekers at launch, and definitely makes a difference in how threatening enemies are without any change to their stats
same with extra attacks, though that sounds like a lot of work to add

[oak crescent]

Is there going to be a word from the devs this month 🥺

[molten kayak]

we dunno

just gotta wait and see

[warped citrus]

Looks like solid -11...-18 Celsius here for the rest of the week. Great time to recover from the flu and play games, not much reason to go outside...

[main island]

even better excuse to play valheim for 24 hours straight, except its -30 here

[vocal trout]

Time to get 10 liters of hot chocolate

[formal seal]

or something with more %%%

[tardy vale]

[peak roost]

Smiffe! I thought you were a developer? Do you work on the game? I don’t know, lol; I always see you in the discord.

You have the developer role, I thought I’d ask.

[tardy vale]

well I am a developer

I am just very good at multi-tasking

[peak roost]

Oh, shoot! You are constantly in the discord while developing?

That’s so cool.

Will you get fired if you say what you are currently working on?

[tardy vale]

why would I be fired?

[peak roost]

I don’t know? Spoliers. 💀

[tardy vale]

my job description says "community management and Quality assurance testing"

[peak roost]

Is that a thing?

[tardy vale]

spoilers isn't a thing

spoiler is a part of some cars tho 🤔

[peak roost]

What is that? You test the game?

[peak roost]

Yes; that is true.

[tardy vale]

testing the game to make sure we don't have any nasty bugs for players to get hurt by

[peak roost]

I see what you did there.

You’re pretty cool.

I hate those bugs.

I thought you actually worked on the game, lol.

[tardy vale]

as in?

someone needs to make sure the graphic artists don't mess up leaving holes or accidently do wierd stuff
programmers aren't fault free and game designers ideas must be playable and understandable
so someone needs to try all of that to make sure it works as a whole package

[crimson inlet]

work is work

Also, happy Halloween

[fluid grotto]

People usualy dont see QA unit as a much of work.

But in reality it requires wide range of awareness. And usualy not fun to do especially early stages of development

[crimson inlet]

Do ice cream tasters end up hating ice cream?

[frosty walrus]

That depends on how good the ice cream is

[fluid grotto]

I would hate if i had to taste very often.

[tardy vale]

people don't see Community managers either as "developers"

[fluid grotto]

I can understand why they dont tho. Some company’s CM unit is almost out of touch from developing team and just works as customer service at some point.

[peak roost]

Oh!

Sorry, I didn’t know you responded.

[peak roost]

That is honestly true. I always saw developing as like, actually changing the game. I didn’t know that the term “developer” was broader than that, forgive me. Lol.

[fluid grotto]

Or poeple confuse customer service with comunity management i dont know.

[coral cedar]

There can be some overlap between the two.

[fluid grotto]

Technicaly comunity management and QA interfares the development alot. Just not directly they dont change the game themselves.

[peak roost]

Yeah; it’s what Smiffe does and finds out that directs the next steps for direct development.

[fluid grotto]

Thats why it happens i guess.

[umbral fog]

Mornin gjall 😄

[covert willow]

[peak roost]

Love that, lol.

I see you still punch drakes, been a while. Lol.

[tardy vale]

yeah.. I even seen it myself with some gaming companies 🙁

it's sad

the CM's should have the most knowledge out of all developers about the game, how it works and what's comming so they can communicate that 😄

[tardy vale]

well. there are so many layers on who does what in a team

[peak roost]

True!

[tardy vale]

but sure, some bigger companies have people with development role, who aren't to much involved in the actual hands on thing

like meeting booking, HR, planners etc

we are still quite small team so we all pitch into the design of the game

[peak roost]

I didn’t know “development” was a team, with multiple layers.

I see.

[main sonnet]

A CM should at least play the game. But I've encountered CM's who even didn't do that.

[peak roost]

Just someone who directly worked in the game.

[craggy holly]

Quality Assurance is extremely important work! (big part of my job as well, even though sadly not for a game, and definitely not for Valheim haha)

[peak roost]

Lol.

[tardy vale]

indeed

just look at some games who doesn't seem to have the whole QA process down

[craggy holly]

ikr

[peak roost]

Lol, true!

You’re right.

[craggy holly]

whoever QA tested the swamp before it hit EA in Feb 2021, perfection!

[tardy vale]

that was me, among other some fameous people

[fluid grotto]

5 year anniversary close noice.

[craggy holly]

I know 🙂

[tardy vale]

the closed beta testers. and then we had invite testers aswell

[craggy holly]

yeah also Valheim hit EA in my birthday month, and will get 5 year anniversary in my birthday month!

Also I'm not ready for DN yet, take your time haha.

[fluid grotto]

Shh we are ready

[craggy holly]

speak for yourself, I need to prepare more haha

[peak roost]

My big brother always jokingly jabs at the devs haha.

He says you guys take off every holiday known to man. Every Viking holiday. He made up some, lol. Just to restart months into the project.

National Olaf day.

This tuesday.

[craggy holly]

Work-life balance is super important, I don't have enough of that right now.

[peak roost]

Lol.

[peak roost]

What do you mean?

[craggy holly]

too much work not enough play

[peak roost]

Ohh, I see. Get that work done mah boi!

You will play, make the best of it.

[craggy holly]

I always do, started on someone's new world last time I played, not killed Eik yet but got 20 cores and pants+chest from bear set 🙂

[peak roost]

Oh, awesome!

I haven’t played Valheim in ages! Lol, ironic.

I do love the community though.

I never beat the Ashlands boss.

[craggy holly]

I only beat him like 9 times so far

Yagluth I probably killed 50+ times, Bonemass maybe 100+ love the trophy since it changed

[peak roost]

We got a super fan over here.

You do you bro!

[craggy holly]

ah just like 3200h

[peak roost]

That’s awesome.

Woah.

What is that? Like, 2 years?

No, no. Year and a half?

Wait.

[craggy holly]

nah, game is just a few days short of having been out almost 5 years, so its over that time

[peak roost]

One year is around 5000 hours, no? I’m terrible with math, lol.

[craggy holly]

averages out to less than 2 hours per day

[peak roost]

24 hours times 365 days.

But you still play everyday.

SUPERFAN.

[craggy holly]

8760h in a year

someone on my server has over 5k and 6k, quite a bit of afk time for them though

[peak roost]

Ahh, I see.

[peak roost]

I was so off, lol.

[craggy holly]

maths is hard haha

[peak roost]

I never really joined an online server.

[peak roost]

True, lolol.

[fluid grotto]

I wonder gameplay will change pre ashlands enough to start from scratch at the day of 1.0 release.

Due to work time i will reach DN after 2-3 week If enough new stuff to fresh start pre DN. Lol

[peak roost]

Yo, lol; you’re pre planning and stuff. I love the enthusiasm for Valheim!

[craggy holly]

I'm part of a 4 server community, and also have 6 or so solo worlds, and 15ish characters.

[sand vault]

Is there any chance that IronGate will add official valheim paid servers directly in game, like other games do? I'd like to start a server at some point after v1 with my friends, the prefered way would be official servers.

[craggy holly]

I have not heard of this being a plan anywhere or from anyone at IronGate, my personal opionion is it does not make sense, how many official servers would you need, when the max player count is 10 on Vanilla Valheim?

[sand vault]

I would need 1 server, but I'd rather not bother myself with patching and maintenance. Official servers would be much preffered.

[craggy holly]

yeah but if it was offered you'd need hundreds, including the cloud infrastructure, its not that hard to run Valheim Server but I guess I'm more across it then others because of the community I'm in

[peak roost]

What do you mean? I don’t think I’m informed. I thought you boot up a new world and that’s it?

What do you mean “run the server”?

[marsh patrol]

The problem with official Valheim servers its a high trust game

Meaning, its very easy to fuck over other players youre supposed to be cooperating with

If you cant trust the people you play with, you need a lot of moderation

And thats the rub, who has the resources for that

[tardy vale]

the problem with official servers are

1. cost (irongates)
2. moderation
3. network infrastructure
4. we would have to stop people from self-hosting

[marsh patrol]

There are services out there which will provide a Heim server for you for very cheap

and its easy too

[tardy vale]

and "official servers" sounds wierd. that sounds more like mega-large open servers for anyone to join and play on

[marsh patrol]

Imagine moderating it though
All the tickets like
'xxx used my iron!'
'xxx removed a wall from this building!'

[tardy vale]

yeah.. no ty

just the cost of having that many moderators

for all languages

[marsh patrol]

You'd need a whole building system which forces people to behave like Pax Dei or Dune: Awakening

[tardy vale]

yup

force players to have "plot" system

much better to put it on the players

your server, you own it, you can save it forever

instead of official servers which would need to force restarts

and also. the game isn't a MMORPG with infinite gameplay

you start, play, game ends

[mild moss]

I had a whole rant and realized it was me being an old man complaining about younger gamers so I deleted it before posting

[craggy holly]

Happy to help, with my 4 servers managed by a team of 4 Admin/staff, it’s a good idea to let the players do it themselves

[red holly]

alright i just discovered this rock and im prob gonna chat more just to see him

[gray island]

When is new update coming

[red holly]

if i change my pfp to rocky will i get sued?

[marsh patrol]

Chilly deathsquitos?
Ah shit here we go again

[rapid linden]

I was kinda hoping to see a ps5 mention, maybe even a release date 😅

[devout trout]

Whenever it's ready

[rugged stag]

Look through every snowflake and you'll find the information you seek I'm sure

[marsh patrol]

We probably wont get a release date first
Probs beta test first

[gray island]

I need new biom already, as my team finished ashlands already

[glacial dock]

technically all mmos end when you get the best gear and the highest levels, or in the case of a game like gw2, when you get bored. The same applies to Valheim no?

[tranquil kernel]

brews a cuppa joe man…people complain about no update, then they complain when there is one!

[bronze gull]

I'm assuming mid to late 2026 but I really hope for early 2026

[gray island]

Bro it cant be that hard to add one single biom

[storm anchor]

The thing is, Valheim will have ending unlike those MMORPG games.

[gray island]

I mean its been a year since ashlands came out no?

[marsh patrol]

https://a.storyblok.com/f/157036/2219x1248/b70c0962cd/frozenplains.png

so this date is important - 70th September, 2962

[glacial dock]

huh

[devout trout]

IG also actually suggests taking breaks from the game here and there. Go enjoy another game or two, then come back.

[glacial dock]

most mainstream MMOs have story and thus have story endings if that's what you mean

[tranquil kernel]

If you’d been reading previous updates you’d know they aren’t just slapping down another biome; they’re reworking the entire game as needed so it’s ready for 1.0

[kindred flume]

2 month for that.....

[wicked lily]

They're not gonna spoil everything, aren't they ?

[bronze gull]

Its 1.0 basically they working on a ps release too and now their adding even seasons
They have to make everything ready for the Release it will obviously take longer than the ashlands release

[storm anchor]

There might be much more upcoming, like the news that just appeared suggests... 👀

[rugged stag]

From the news that just dropped this evening, I'm speculating that there'll be the addition of Seasons? seeing snow in the plains biome, mistlands and meadows iirc suggests such a feature

[gray island]

Yeah, its been a year, yet theres no new biom

I got ur point but its been a year already

[tranquil kernel]

Ok? And?

That’s how time happens

[gray island]

And? People are waiting

[glacial dock]

a year isn't that long for a 1.0

[rugged stag]

There'll be a new biome when you add an E to the word Biom
