Well, who is "playfab" and can we contact their "service"?
i suspect steam is at play here somehow
I feel like were just going to hav to get fucked until someone does something. which could be year at this point
its something on iron gate side
BTW a bit unrelated but I noticed AWS acting funny the past hour. my ec2 server ssh keeps disconnecting. never happens usually
If it is indeed something that is fixable by the devs, we'll likely have to wait for tomorrow. But like I said, I personally don't think it is.
but if I can't get exactly what I want right now, what is the point of living
Considering there hasn't been a Valheim patch today (or recently) there isn't any recent changes "on Iron Gate's side" that could have caused it.
The playfab status isn't working either.
I don't think so as the connection to playfab seems to be broken
Someone get the manager
Server's back up for me
agreed
Servers down for everyone? I have a friend who literally hosts a val server out of his house and even THAT one won't work
Not monday? 
I'm an expert in the Valheim online server field for 40+ years, and I can assure you this. There is a plug somewhere that simply needs to be taken out, and put back in.
Oh yeah, it is Friday isn't it?
Down, the servers are. Up it, you must suck.
Some people are saying its working now anyway
try again ya'll, it's working again for me
Working now for me
If they're down in the north they much be up in Aussieland.
Trolls they are 🙂
See, not a Valheim issue lol.
Nope still down for me.. I restarted the server
Inversion is not mono-directional. 😛
"find lobby unavailable"
Idk why you would assume an unchanged software is at fault, and not some live service or hardware
CONFIRMED, just worked for me
yeah i can connect now as well
CONFIRMED AS WELL.. restar the server it should work
didn't even have to restart our server
no they clearly deployed to production at 6pm on a friday and then tokyo drifted into the sunset
For me it took a restart
things like this can be intermittent in resolution
if it works for people can you please add the location from which you are playing?
of the game, the server or your pc?
devs?
NA East over here working for me
NA east working after a server reboot
Game server. I'm hosting it on my pc though. just Ctrl C and started it again
I'M IN!!! I've not yelled that since I lost my virginity.
There's also a possibility that its an issue even deeper than playfab. That could be why it's not showing anything on their status page. But that's just speculation.
Germany here, still not working.
it was probably russian agents
[Info : Unity Log] 02/16/2024 11:59:03: Backend not retreived yet, checking again in 0.25 seconds... i am getting this issue. I tried restarting server, reinstalling game,
i dont know what else to do to make it work
Just gotta wait at this point
It looks like we simply have to wait 🙂
is this a val issue?
take a nap, eat some food, go out a bit and come back
Poland, Xbox, still servers are down
BUT WE HAVE BOSSES TO KILL
It appears that its nothing to do with Valheim directly. There hasn't been any changes on their end recently, so no reason something would break.
weird
the you are following the wrong account. The official one just posted yesterday https://twitter.com/Valheimgame
Just try to restart the server guys.. it worked after that
well i was sitting for 30 minutes for the eggs to hatch and one of the chickens walked into the fire
It's either playfab, or something deeper.
Vikings we are indeed
the thirst for bloodshed never fades
It could be AWS if playfab is hosted there
because aws sawan increase of 150% of reports
Its microsoft Azure
Hence my speculation of it being something deeper than playfab.
Then they deserve it 😂
Steam says it cannot register our game with the playfab lobby
Ok, now I could connect but it said INCOMPATIBLE VERSION
lol?
So we still can’t get in
So it’s either a steam or playfab issue? It sounded like it was working for a few people again though.
Very possibly an AWS problem. I'm not 100% sure if playfab uses AWS, but it's interesting that there's high reports there when this is happening.
I received this from GTX support
"We are currently aware of this, steam is having some issues at the moment which is stopping servers from working, i have no eta when they will fix it as its not on our side."
It works if you set crossplay off
i knew it 😂
Then it is porbbaly related to aws. steam uses aws. but btw it works for dedicated server with crossplay off
Private server still not working
we're having a lot of issues with our dedicated servers not working, we have found some workarounds if you use r2modman
Go get some sun while you're waiting, gang. Vitamin D is important!
its 30 degrees out
get the rested buff before killing the bosses
Jfc thats so warm
F
Valheim uses playfab which uses Microsoft Azure
Can seem to start my server, but people can't connect to it
Can you connect to it via local ip? if yes it's an unrelated issue
Sun? Man i haven't seen that yellow bastard for months now
Is it still a thing?
For someone representing serpents, I would have thought 'getting some sun' would have been pretty high on the daily agenda.
We despawn as we see it, representatives also
Actually yeah, serpents are only around when it's cloudy or at night, so they don't really like the sun do they
I can confirm they don't
Sun and vikings are two things that really grind their gears
i stumbled upon a serpent during the day right on the shore
This all sounds quite antithetical to the behaviour of poikilotherms.
I don't have any proofs!
I'll write this down for me to use in the court next time
I just got back here after the hacking, everything good in here now yes?
I hope the court is very warm, or you're going to find yourself struggling.
mightve spawned during a storm, they dont despawn xD learned that yesterday
Oh, that's why we always tend to struggle everywhere
Yep, we're all good now. Billionaires now have to redistribute any funds they have over 10 million dollars; we've solved world hunger; everyone everywhere has agreed that vaccines are a good thing; and, the world governments are now considering the value of a society based around a universal-basic-income.
All of these happened while i was chilling in thoughts?
Which portal goes to that timeline?
Well thats good.
If I knew, I wouldn't be on this forum.
It's the antlers!
Multiple inheritance is probably the problem... it's usually the problem.
nah fam u just too big to go through the portal
Did you just assume my obesity?!
i thought moose were swole, are you saying that youre obese?
Plural of moose is meese by the way. ||kidding||
That's how we get through portals - we turn these meeses into pieces.
I saw you typing, @vocal rivet! lol. Are you going to tell us what the plural of 'moose' is? 😄
Oh, sorry, that was left over from before. But it's moose seeing as how you asked.
Silly Algonquian... why couldn't they just pluralize it like the French? 😛
There's something seriously troubling about a culture that gender-fies inanimate objects... 0_o
Drifting into my #general territory here, but that's just how romance languages are 😉 It's not quite "gender" as our modern understanding is concerned. I was mostly commenting on the etymology of Moose->Mooses because Moose is an Algonquian word, but Goose->Geese because it's French.
Moose.
Not to be confused with Mousse.
Who on earth would confuse a moose and a mousse? They're not very similar, apart from frequently being brown.
chocolate mousse
both are tasty
Hi mate.
sorry can't fix users bad internet connections :/
What if you made a mousse from a mongoose?
Mongousse?
But you can fix dedicated server connections. Why is the rate so limited? 64kbs? Yikes
And why are nodes client side, not dedicated servers? Yikes
Why does a mere 17k entities bring a server to its knees? Servers don't utilize the hardware well enough? Yikes
Monogoose - stereogeese
What if the geese aren't on opposite sides?
OMG! What would 7.1 geese look like!? That's terrifying.
Surround geese.
Theres are no geese in valheim guys...
bolognese, cheesese, parmasanese
gah this is valheim chat again. Sorry, thought it ws general based on the conversation. :p
Gooses
I bet you're fun at parties 😛
Honkin' fun.
I wouldnt know, people dont invite me 
I get it, though. Point taken. 🙂
No moose, no geese.. i have gwo more suggestions to make. Just for us to keep chatting here
Meese
i have one but im dreading typing it
Just commit
||amongoose||
Nah, this is too much

It's like naming your wolf einstein.. in one word
Does the tombstone disappear after a while or will your death stays forever until u pick it up?
Until you pick it up
- can't answer atm.
- because valheim is initially made for Peer -to- peer data.
- it brings the server down, or the client down?
Valheim is firstly and formost, still in early access.
At launch. valheim was very GPU bound, atm it's very CPU bound. this will go back and forth until we are getting closer to a 1.0 release
any tips for fishing? these stinky fish are just running away
will we ever see a dedicated server that truly acts like a dedicated server?
No client offload?
Just collect all you stamina.. massively spit and go to bed. You can always have jerky on breakfast
Eat 3 best stamina foods you have, get the best stamina potion you have in your hot bar, throw a fishing line out not too far from you (farther away harder to reel in). Wait for them to bite and drink a stamina potion while reeling if you need to
yeah thats too much
also, starting low, like in meadows and getting your skill up helps
we shall see what magic we can perform over time
Tell us about your rod?
Vanilla servers to prevent cheating and block alien characters?
Why is there no desire to prevent cheating?
i thought it' d be chill but with 100 stamina i cant catch these stinky fish. maybe i should just get regular bait
no
I just had a 2 hour discussion on this topic the other day
i was very surprised that you can do anything as a client in valheim
You need to level your fishing skill to make the most of your stamina.
TL;DR
we can't prevent it
we didn't build valheim to be a pickup game for random players
i had no issue yesterday lol
The server host has full control over who joins their server.
yeah but anyone can cheat extremely easily
Stop letting players spawn items with their modded clients, shouldn't be that hard.
I keep using the same reference.
- valheim server is your own personal house
- do you leave the door open for anyone to enter?
then we would prevent user to use mods 🤷
here people easily cheat their stamina, spawn in items and a bunch of other things
Internet friends are not always to be trusted....
I’d leave the door open if it could but sadly that’ll never be reality
get a baseball bat.
if someone cheats. the keyboard get's it
Then don't play with them if you don't want to play with people who do that. It is actually as simple as that.
Guess I should move on to enshrouded before I invest too much time into valheim
can't stop you there mate
what would be better is not to share items between worlds
Or prevent any random person from just spawning shit on a dedicated server.
there are so many arguments for things. server-sided clients. not server sided clients.
cheat prevention etc etc
but it all comes down to we can't stop it
I quite like being able to use the same toon on several worlds.
Can't go on rust and spawn in items randomly on any dedicated server. Same game engine.
you can though lol a mod stops cheatengine so very easily
you can
This is contrary to the Ubisoft formula. 😛
even in minecraft you cant spawn in items like this
just use Unity cheat engine
It’s a co op game, not competitive. So there’s no huge need to prevent cheating. This is just my opinion. It’s pretty much exactly like Terraria.
Yeah, "cheating" is kind of hard in a single player/cooperative game.
Well no point in arguing with ya, you guys are 100% set on your ways and it won't change.
The only person you can cheat in such a game is yourself.
Is there a single game that people can’t cheat in?
nope
100%, I just used that word since it fit the conversation haha
Didn’t think so
It IS a singleplayer game with co-op option, and if you invite people who you can't trust to not cheat then thats on you frankly 😄
This is a game where a person can come in from a different save with mistlands items, or by editing the config. Why this is allowed on coop i dont understand
My favorite is people who pay others real money for items that have been "farmed" for them
You can't do that in Minecraft. It's not possible.
actually nvm ill go explore xD
Devs don't care to add customized restrictions to promote fair play.
But you can in Terraria 😁
You can literally do anything you want in Minecraft
At least there are no cheetahs in valheim.. and a lynx😔
You can't because the server holds data about the user
the first part can be done in Terraria at least, as they, like Valheim, allow you to use the same character in multiple worlds
I would once again recommend that you have a look at what kind of game this is and why your whining is silly. :>
Catch yall Lata
Not like people can predict who will cheat or not so that's not entirely fair. Also I don't think it would be that hard to make it so players with mods that don't match the server can't connect to it. Other games have done it.
Look up 2b2t it’s a massive minecraft community built on cheating and hacking the game in every single way possible
I don't entirely disagree, but how do you determine trustworthiness before inviting people to your server?
Yeah, the server allows cheating. And you can't just spawn in god tier items like you can in Valheim.
They do spawn those in
It is very lazy to let the user decide what items he has instead of the host holding the data about users.
No, there are cheetahs! Still not a single lynx
sure im a cheetah
Difference in philosophy. IG thinks you should own your character.
This chat is like daily deja vu
It’s just as easy to say it’s lazy to rely on the developer to keep untrustworthy people off your server instead of figuring that out yourself
i thought ur a carp? but why is u in lnd?
even in RL you have to rely on trust sometimes, no way to prevent any looses
things are not always as they appear to be
yeah i mean they should just add sliders so we can turn on infinite stamina, so that clients can spawn in items.
cause at the end of the day its all about trust
I would assume you would go through some whitelisting process not really sure about that since on pretty much all servers i was on everyone was told that they shouldnt bring items from another worlds or spawn stuff in and that was enough 🤷♂️
I played with a few people on a fresh server. A few people decided to bring some endgame gear from another world, but we just shamed them into not and that was the end of that
another way of saying we wont have anything to do with it
Well.....yes?
theres just no reason to pretend its a good decision
No reason to pretend, no. :p
This is why I don’t play with complete randos
If you don’t have a basis of trust, don’t play with them
In my humble opinion, I’d really rather Irongate focus on other things instead of extensive multiplayer features. I see where the frustration is coming- but it’s important to understand the kind of game that Valheim is and how it’s supposed to play. Just play with people you trust, and if someone breaks that trust, then it’s best to move on.
does anyone know what distance standing torches will frighten boars at?
Wow.. that is a really good question
whats the issue with cheating in valheim if its soley a pve game lol
A pve co-op game at that.
If you agree with the people youre playing with that you want to start fresh and progress through the game as its meant to be played, cheating is obviously a violation of that agreement
Will an enemy continue to destroy builds after I die and get off a loading screen?
I can understand if you're trying to play regularly and people are spawning stuff in, but if you play with people who cant follow rules you set forth, then...
They might get a few more hits in before area freezes
If you can't agree on how to play a co-op game you should probably not be playing it together, at least if the disagreement about how to play leads to the level of frustration the people coming here frequently to complain about it show.
if you wanted to have a friendly race for example with friends to see who could kill a boss first, someone cheating in gear to complete it quicker is again a violation of that basic trust
Alright thanks
If I make a server and I invite complete randos without pre-planning or checking, and they decide to cheat, I wouldn't really expect dev support about it.
Certainly, just like stealing a gold or a province from the bank when no one's looking if you play Dominion or something like that. If my friend did that I would be annoyed at him, not at Donald Vaccarino.
Aha! integrating to deja vu convos
Devs can't seem to understand this and instead make an argument that you should be able to trust your friends.
I agree partially, but cheating is like money, if it's on the table the temptations can be too great.
In a game meant to play alone or with a few friends/family I'd say that's a perfectly reasonable stance. And not having characters bound to worlds is a specifically wanted feature, not just a lazy oversight. You're supposed to be able to go to any world with any character (as long as the host of the world wants you there).
Dedicated servers should have a flag to restrict this.
Jeez what world are you living in? How come you are full serious about cheating in Valheim?
I'm still waiting for a good argument for that, and I don't ever expect to get one.
For a decent person the temptation is never too great
I caught a friend of 13 years cheating
in valheim, right?
Yep
In valheim? Or not connected?
And that's a Valheim, not a friend issue?
You're just like the devs! Congrats.
Not a great friend clearly
Stop making excuses why it's acceptable to cheat in valheim or why it's so effortless.
cant catch a friend cheating if you dont have any :)
Guess only time now will tell. But I'm glad it only took 11.99$ to find out the kinda person one is.
Excellent thinking.
Again, not really the fault of Valheim.
thank you
I think if one allows himself cheating, that's his idea of fun then. If you despise cheating then your idea of fun is obviously different, find more people closer to you ideologically
Did I mention I don't like cheaters?
Okaay.
Seems like something to reflect on
I have, from time to time.
Might be time again
that's rather violent, dont you think?
I mean, let's think about it.
Your hurting other people's game. If you're gonna hurt some one else's fun, what kinda person does that make you?!
If you do it knowingly, an idiot.
: You're God damn right :
\o/
Lol,
What does beheading a person for cheating in a game make you 🤔
Sorry for vocalizing my distaste so vibrantly
I don't like cheaters either 😄
Whoa wait. Not a beheading...
I mean sure, I dont agree with cheating either, but resorting to that kind of violence is unnecessary. two wrongs doesnt make a right.
That's way too far.
You must hate the united states government then...
Nothing extensive about server side characters.
the US isnt a place I want to visit but that's unrelated
I don’t think anyone loves it
Also not really a topic for this channel, unless they also play valheim. :p
I'm just leading by example.
This msg totally always said this
I misread villains as villages. :|
villages are great for raiding, lots of free stuff from the scared inhabitants
I guess cheating is only one tiny line on a pretty impressive list of stuff
it aint that deep i promise u bro lol
hi guys I have a question about valheims progression more specifically plains weapons, is there any need to make any of them?
There's no need strictly speaking, you can use any weapon you want in the game, but the ones that are direct upgrades are obviously better than their predecessors.
make a frostner
I do agree that you should be able to trust your friends. If you cant help but cheat, do it on a solo world, not on a world with friends. And if you still feel the need to cheat on a coop world, ask yourself why, is the game play loop too boring for you? do you just not like the game? Do you value cheating more than the trust of your friends? im not accusing you of these things btw these are general questions
no politics 🫣
because I had a bad mountain boss spawn that was surrounded by mistlands and frostner seemed to work fine against the seekers
You can always just cheat it
eww no
Frostner is very good against seekers.
plains weapons, yeah you wont suffer from not making them, in mistlands youll be fine with frostner, silver sword or anything else from silver, but you can craft blackmetal knife and axe if youre using
the thing is its not considered cheating to bring your items on a different world because the game allows it. now if it didnt allow it i can guarantee you people would not be so keen to do it.
because from what I noticed normal damage isnt very good against seekers not sure what other sort of badies are there
its not cheating persay, but there are exploits to get around things like the metal/portal restriction which while techincally allowed by the game, are obviously cirventing a core mechanic of the game
i have metal/portal restriction disabled after Mountains.
frostner with its high knockback and freezing effect should be perfect on those pests
not gonna spend 3 hours transporting 60 ore to make a gate.
I'll leave the bug abuses to people who know how to do them Im just experiencing the game for now
so I think its fair to say that anything to circumvent standard mechanics like portals not allowing metal, or encumbrance, is an exploit
my experience with seekers is not great. was fighting them yesterday with a friend, died against a 1 star one. They just destroy you without Bonemass, especially star ones, although people recommend using Atgeir secondary attack to stagger them. Had over 200hp
and i have fully maxed out padded armor with lvl 2 frostner
seems like a fair challenge for my hard+ run
3 hours? You can travel the world in 3 hours.
its not plains tier weapon 😛
it's every biome tier weapon. very powerful
so I should be good with just making a black metal shield?
That guy was kidding, don't cheat! Try some stuff and see what works best for you ^^
also most boring weapon 😄
i dont even have a black metal shield yet. should probably make one. i got a black metal atgeir
I was thinking of making it but not sure because seekers kinda hurt Id prefer a shield in the other hand haha
i am not sure if its a good weapon still. someone here told me yesterday using secondary attack you can handle them easily with an atgeir
every weapon is good if used properly
im just grabbing the best (bruh) weapon for melee, spear
I liked the iron atgeir in the plains for keeping the pesky goblins at bay but the damage was very lacking
I tried messing around with all the weapons have most of the weapon skills at 30ish
ive become a bit more brazen with the frostner so i go round killing loxes like nothing
goblins too are easy to handle with a frostner.
ye but theres like 20 of them in their lil camps
yeah, the problem there is that they run around and come from different directions.
and the shamans can go to hell :( why do they hurt so much
drink poison resistance mead 😎
against fire?
yes, should work perfectly
oh oh also is there a light armor equivalent inside the plains? because i like the move speed of the lighter armor sets
If you squint your eyes and don't get hit, no armor kinda looks like a light armor
Nope
if you enjoy no brain easy kills, use frostner or atgeir, for heavy fast damage sword or knife, if you like fancy fighting, use flesh rippers
I am messing around with fenris armor and the claws at the moment
but plains mobs hit like trucks
yeah, they do its always about finding balance/ fighting skills. i had a lot of fun with flesh rippers, but you have to use the kick ass well with good timing(similar to parry)
That's a fun set.
If you want a bit more durability you could swap out the helm for heavier armor
Keeps most of your speed, but you do lose the set bonus
I'll just make plains armor I think for mistlands because I took way too much damage when I had to run through the mist lands with a fenris set
because Im not very good at the whole fighting thing. I dont die too often Im just running away all the time haha
Just bonemass and hide for 8 mins 🥲
I just take an abomination around with me every where. It wrecks everything.
i brought abomination to a village, they killed it very fast.
the shaman fires it up, berserker and fulings kill it
Oh yeah, fire on poor abom
thats how I do it haha
Nothing wrong with that! 😄
its more about strategy especially in plains. if you see lot of torch guys, use fenris set or potion, if you see spear guys, use heavy armor or root chest etc
Where do you hide Bonemass though? He's big.
A simple oversized hoody hides ones bonemass pretty well
Good point.
Btw what etymology for Val in valheim do you stand for as a native ig?
I remember someone made a basement for bonemass with a house on top once
yep, only limitation in valheim is your fantasy
All you need is one. Grow more, start a farm in the Plains.
I know but its taking so long
Ngl, low amount of plain plant is actually quite a big pain, since their growing efficiency is abit lower than normal plants
6 becomes 12 becomes 24 becomes 48 becomes 96 becomes 192 becomes 384, becomes...
Its higher lol
Doubling ever planting is more than tripling every second
So everytime I see a convo about weapons here its always the same few - aetgirs and maces with some sword sprinkled in here and there along with spear. What about the Demolisher? Man I have found if you have 3 skellies with you in bubbles... the demolisher is the tool for ticks and the occasional seeker. especially if there is more than one.
thats what i m always trying to say here, there is no bad weapon as long as you know how to use it. however, i dont like using magic, becouse its too op as it is now. you can just eat seekers aspic, nothing else and you can go wherever you want as long as your bubble is up. the tactic you mentioned sounds like fun tho
Demolisher is great no doubt, and there's something satisfying about smacking the ground and sending enemies flying away. I got used to using bile bombs for groups and the aetgir if there's a bunch.
not really, could make it close to the farm for quick processing, or the storage area.
okay so Ill just build them near home and teleport
It needs wind, so surrounding it with walls will make it go slower
oh I cant be asked to wall anything off haha
thats why I keep loosing plains plants in small numbers to mobs :)
Can you wall some stuff in? See, i asked you
I'll build a small fence around the onion patch then :)
@paper roost Ya the bubble isn't perfect tho... it gives you reation time true. But OP? I think for the initial start of the fight ya. But after a bit, you have to back out if you start getting too many adds. And once a soldier comes in, its a race before one runs out of eitr.
also whats the best food combo for end of plains?
Depends on how comfortable you feel and your playstyle
preferably three meats unless you think thats bad :)
because Im just chuggin tasty meads during boss fights
I never go 3 hp foods, gives me no stam to work with
Playing with skoll and hati is the most fun. Getting to sprint around, dodge rolling their attacks, attacking in quick bursts because it has no speed loss is amazing. You also get a decent parry from them.
I usually do 2 hp 1 stam early in a biome, then swap to 1 hp 2 sta.
ye I noticed that but better no stamina than dying :(
If you can move away you dont take damage
i built a tower for my windmill. took some time but it's very nice
i meant magic in general. i could give you x examples but it wasnt the point. try to eat only 1 meal and go fight with meele, wont work most of the time
@burnt glen I do carry skoll and hati also... my loadout is skoll/hati, demolisher, deadraiser, protection, and fireball just cause.
Its mistlands level food
oh damn
ah ya I get what your saying now.
I mean you can see what it gives you, its higher than lox pie
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/18CIv39YFMqIhB8horGHsp2OrTB4e5zcscHPotUR8MbU/ is a great resource for choosing the best foods.
That's interesting, I do S&H, Mistwalker & Shield, bile boms and arbalest.
oh I cant make it still haha
But I have tried every weapon quite a bit, and they're all pretty fun
Lox pie gives 75 hp iirc, serpent stew 80
yeah, knifes are my favorite weapons as well
thats why Im curious I havent gotten any flour since I only found a very small amount of barley
You just need to plant and plant unyil you have at least 100
ye I found about 100 flax from vilages but no luck with barley
Thanks for that, I've been preplanning some foods lately ><
also does rain have any effect on plant growth time?
thank you
No, just days passed ^^
Is chicken meat considered plains now?
thats a good question
For the first time ever I'm struggling to find Yagluth
aight so serpant,lox and blood budding is the best!
I'm almost at the edge of the map, uncovered lots and lots of plains, no luck. Where you hiding you legless heap of bones!?!
My wooden fort is underconstruction and has overhangs on the palisade walls, will the rain break it down if there is no roof?
i was struggling. then i found one near a village, and one near swamps and haldor
typically where the vegvisir is the stones are thicker and narrower. like the two standing stones,
All previous playthroughs I found the site before I found a vaegvisir
Wood doesn't break from rain, only degrades to 50%
If you're not very experienced in plains, I'd say use your best stuff but after a while you might want to switch to more sustainable stuff. i.e Bread, lox meat pie, sausage (yes, still fine), fish wraps if you fish, cooked chicken meat (if you can get it).
If wood doesn't, what does?
I had good luck with serpants so I wont consider wasting it
Fire?
Monsters
I have like 30 stews left
I havent seen a serpent yet in my current world
I can't leave shore without serpents coming at me, I have chests full of stew...
I was using serpant stew and serpeant meat for mountains
Jesus how many did you kill exactly?
more than 10 thats for sure
they just wouldnt leave me alone
every time I had a boat trip atleast one of em
ive not killed a single one
Every sea voyage I do I meet 2-3 serpents, and I'm not exaggerating. I'm naming this seed "Serpent World"
im just waiting now for plants to grow so I can go kill plains boss
That serpents can be rare had not even occured to me until my brother joined me on an adventure and - as usual - as soon as we left shore a serpent attacked, he said it was the first one he ever saw. At plains stage. Same world, we having played about the same amount of hours. Isn't RNG fantastic!?! 😄
I don't really know this RNG fella, but I'm sure he's fun.
We killed two serpents today and had some funny moments while getting our iron from the swamps to our base
now i gotta sail to mistlands to get my items back. not even sure how im gonna get there without getting harassed by ticks. and i have to climb too. then probably end up dying cause the seekers in there
need more surtling cores.
I had the same experience because I had to travel through mistlands to get to moder
that sounds not optimal
I only died like twice
I've had situations like that, I usually end up just spending some time in the Swamps and Black Forest again to rebuild my resources that I need to properly reapproach it all.
with gear that is running back and getting it is not added to the calculations
Get one of those collars for dogs that repel ticks
Grab your root harnesk and ticks are much less scary. Some fire resist for the gjall and you can handle quite a bit in the mistlands.
i have a portal close by. but its still very far away and high up. so im gonna get bread set a bed near the cave i died in.
I try to always make at least one, but preferably two, backup sets of gear in case I die in such a bad spot I can't get to it by rushing
I died with fenris set but when I went to get it back with root armor they were doing a lot less damage
ive done it before, recovering items from a cave. so its not that hard cause seekers are very stupid mobs
They're insects after all, yellow pulp for brains lol
Root harnesk halves the piercing damage before taking into account the total armor value, it's a huge reduction
OH! so I dont need the plains armor chest piece
i do wonder that with ai become better you'd think the mobs in games would also be a whole lot more dangerous and smart.
well i guess they will, just not the time yet.
nope
It makes you weak to fire, but you can cover that if you drink a fire resist mead. The downside is it's less total armor against blunt attacks like the Seeker Soldiers do
yagluth's main attack is fire though
remember to roll when you can to get ticks off of you
its for mistlands
I read about a GTA mod using actual AI to control npc:s, apparently it became...eerie. In this kinda game, I'd say them being smart and adaptive to our tactics could make things very interesting
We're not talking Yagluth, we're talking about ticks, seekers and broods that all do piercing damage in the Mistlands
not for yagluth
all i heard was gearing up to fight the plains boss
ye no I noticed that root armor in plains was fun until I got set on fire
Was talking about your corpse retrieval lol
so I guess Im not making any black metal weapons then since frostner is good for mistlands
the harnask is great for flyin spears and flying death bugs
Blackmetal atgeir is handy, especially against Lox. And the shield is awesome, too.
not so much for fire
though a fire resist potion will fix that
but like some one else said, your total armour would be less though
that was the only one I was considering but I have quite a bit of their meat already
BTW I tracked down the 2-star fuling who ambushed me yesterday and handed him some sharp-edged payback. Take that you red bastich!
it's good but its not that good. fighting seekers even with a frostner without bonemass is dangerous. one not so much but two it's dangerous
well most of my dying happens when i have no stamina so i guess its not that dangerous if you have a lot
Try it with a root harnesk and padded helm and legs 😉 It's a pretty stark difference. The soldiers are the worst.
i need 2 more cores for a black forge.
the soldier i havent fought. i only saw a mage fighting it.
i honestly cant say much past mountains cause i never got really past mountains
I avoid aggroing too many seekers at once. In mines, any amount of cheeze is not cheeze enough. If I can trick them into getting stuck somewhere allowing me to shoot them full of arrows, I do
these npcs are a really great addition i thought.
I tried fighting a seeker soldier with fenris set dude hit me for about 70
i tried fighting him when the dvergrs were double teaming him. one of his attack seems to be like stagbreaker or something
they are easy with any weapon, once you know their pattern
that can be said about any mob in any game tho
Any root piece in Mistlands is a calculated risk. the pierce resist is sexy, but never forget its weakness. And the threat from above
in a tight space i think that loses its effect.
Dvergr aren’t on the same team as bosses right?
dvergr are fellow DWARFS
Yeah, Fenris against them is risky for sure. Ooze bombs, dodge roll and a frostner hit to slow them, then hop behind them. Ranged damage is typically easiest though, from a high place they can't climb to 😛
what arrows are best against them? because my obsidian ones didnt do anything to them
dvergr is a made up spelling of dvärg which = dwarf
yes, but for some its better to have specific weapon, they have weak spot to any damage type
i cant get enough of them
Gotta hit 'em in the butt, but anything elemental is good. Ice arrows are choice. All seekers resist all physical damage types.
so hope there are more in ashlands. for whatever reason a dwarf has business with volcanos
ill just stick with frost hammer and frost arrows then and take em head on :)
Heh. They've got a weak point on their abdomen, if you can parry them and stun them and run around behind 'em they go down much easier.
guess I'll tell you how it goes when I get there and fight em proper
they are so cute, arent they? :d
Yeah, whatever works, works. But some ways are easier than others. Ooze bombs are also OP as hell, especially in the mines where they can't run out of the poison cloud.
now only if you could get them to go with you to the mines.
going there with a raft and a bronze sword, and a lot of hp , i wonder what can go wrong
Not sure I'd even bring the sword with at that point 😛 If you're in the Mistlands you should hopefully have enough blackmetal and other materials to at least make a level 1 blackmetal sword that is infinitely better
ive nothing. i gotta recover the items from the cave
You have no bases, no anything from before going to the Mistlands? Everything is destroyed?
Nothing from the previous biome progression?
I forgot how boring plains is
very fun compared to mountains
I got 3 stacks of blackmetal ingots and im just waiting for flax and barley to grow i will be afking for days
thats why you grow a lot of barley.
i got over 800 flax ready to harvest, and probably 500 barley
How big is your farm
very big
Mine is 16x16 i should make it bigger
It gives me about 300 flax/harvest
A bit more
i mean you can easily make it bigger and just keep multiplying it til you have so much you can throw it around like dirt
Yeah
I got this small plains biome on my home island i could just spam the whole biome full of crafting tables and then cultivate it all
i got a base in plains. half of my "fortress" is my farm
Thats how i do it too
I got 2 chests a crafting table a portal and cultivated soil nothing else
base is wip, not even sure if i'll finish it to be honest as building is something that takes a lot of time.
why does the hare make a sound like he's an alien
Maybe he is
i got a lot of stamina cause im rested and bread and ome other foods. no more wood though so bed will end up very far away from the death if i die again. then it will be very hard
well i got my items back. now im getting going
My server is back to not working like earlier
any word on a fix? anyone else experiencingn this?
can I ride a lox across a fair size body of water?
oki I made a blackmetal aetgir,axe,shield,padded armor? (I dont know what its called im not playing in english :3) anything else I need?
for mistlands?
against yagluth?
Yeah, Frostner or Blackmetal sword are best against Yagluth. The axe you'll need more in the Mistlands. Make sure you have fire resist potions for Yagluth as well, and probably some healing, stamina and maybe tasty meads (I like those myself)
I've ridden lox around a bay but not in the ocean biome. I imagine a serpent would be happy that you brought them loxsnax tho.
i spent 40 mins fighting him with my friend. so dont expect everything to go your way. during the fight i was attacked by a lox, fulings, then another lox.
I'm gonna give it a try. It's not the ocean but more like a wide canal between continents
ive had issues with mouse3. wonder if its due to not installed razer synapse. cause i cant get it to work anywhere
restart it
Silver sword would be a bit better i think (at least it does a bit more dmg) , but that is question if you want to invest so much silver into it
Yeah, technically it is the best option. But since it does a lot of spirit damage and nothing noteworthy is weak to spirit except Yagluth, I find it largely a waste of silver 😉 Especially since it takes more than the Frostner does. But it does do more spirit damage than the Mistwalker does, so maybe it'll find some utility in the Ashlands.
Oh that would be good, it would be a bit more resonable to make it 😄
damn razer had my mouse3 set to something random, not sure what it even was... had to install synapse. I never even used secondary attack with the frostner, or atgeir
Oh i am not saying that Spirit is good for everything, i was talking in context of fighting Yagluth 🙂
No contest there. I was just raising an argument against spirit damage in general
It's gonna be like playing a whole new game with secondaries unlocked
i dont know why they have this
i am personally of the opinion is dont make me install garbage to use mouse3
Question, if I said today was my birthday and for my birthday I would love the Ashlands release today would that be okay
Bad enough windows is such a system hog.
Also if you say no that automatically makes you the bad guy cause it’s my birthday
no youd be the bad guy for forcing them to release a buggy and unfinished update
Happy birthday. But no
Damn your name do be fitting 😛
Name checks out
But yes happy bday!
Okay guys I’m gonna have to be honest, it’s not my birthday I just wanted the update
😦
I'm still leaning on 4/20 Sigurblót
The wish is fine, but you shouldve chosen a work day for a birthday if you wanted a release today 
today is friday. and we don't ever drop releases on fridays unless it's an emercy fix 😦
Friday deployments are a great way to rope yourself into working over a weekend
Its saturday, past midnight. Its time for bed, old man
these ship wrecks are a fine way to get some fine wood
I get a troll to come into the Meadows and break a couple birch down
Lox can only swim as far as their stamina last just like me. Guess I'll have to sail across the channel and tame some lox when I land
you can roll other trees against birch if you want early fine wood too
Yeah I do that as well but it's kind of a pain
Getting everything to smack together, but I guess you'll need the wood anyway so just cut down the entire forest and the logs will topple eventually
Hmmmm….would you do it for a scooby snack?
You can ride them onto your boat but gl if it ever pulls aggro on something
Technically today is currently a work day for me, does this bypass and grant my wish 🤨
I can’t send gifs but if I could
darth vadar yelling nooooo here
i work saturday too 
you dream of a great tree reaching through the night
you wake up with tears on your eyes
Game is timeless with creativity. Patience is worth
Could 2 star wolves kill a serpent in the sea?
idk but i bet they could on land lol
first time I moved wolves I took a ship and they followed me a long way across the sea. Luckily no serpent but I want to move a bunch of 2 stars now. Not near as far though. Just wondered. I mean they kill deer in the water
I've seen people using a pack of wolves as a boat
hahaha I need to see this
scum1 i suggest leave out on a fresh day while its clear skies
I mean they swam behind my boat a long time. Just had to go slow.
For sure. Its just a channel between islands
Im betting the house on the good bois
With a sizeable pack the game can be beat with wolves 😉
what does sap unloc k i wonder
Its a key ingredient to be sure
I dealt with Yagluth using a pack of wolves. Lost 10-15 out of the 40 I had, but the fight in itself was quite fun. They had him almost down before I was even able to hit him. 🙂
i got very lucky and those ship wrecks have a lot of fine wood so i set a portal near mistlands. very nice.
Thats awesome Thorin
Thats my plan. Probably bring along some tame Lox as well
Have to ride the lox. Dont think they follow?
Better find a good spot to do the breeding, though.
I had the luck to find a Draugr village close enough to the altar to get the whole pack bred and following me.
But it took me multiple days and killing off the entire deed and boar population of that piece of meadows 10 times to breed them.
Was gonna try that but they run out of stamina too fast to make the ride. I can tame some on the other island when I get there. Before I bring the wolves
Now i do suppose the pack could be assembled or gathered at the altar
You could set up a breeding pen near it if you want to.
Then summon Yagluth, kite him near it, let him destroy that fence and face his doom....
Whuhahahahahahah cough ha!
A mounted lox has 240 points of stamina which drain at approximately the same rate as a player's while sprinting, however leveling the Riding skill both increases the speed of a ridden lox as well as reducing the amount of stamina drained. It is important to note that a lox's stamina regenerates much, much slower than a player's, one point is regained roughly every 4 seconds while the creature has been recently fed, and one every 10 seconds while it is hungry.
damn so it takes 16 minutes ish for it to get all its stamina back while fed? that's rough
Riding skill is worth. I got mine up to 10 on a toon
Still a rough timer. I do believe handling is noticeably improved
Yes. For various reasons.
I enjoy and find benefit from the investment
because I had enough meats from the tamable animals thus far
Food, mats, pets, mounts
hmm pets you say nothing else is really interesting to me thus far
debateable. I didn't tame any on my first playthrough and didn't have any issues.
Personally I'd say Boars aren't worth it, ||wolves || are worth it if they're 2 star and you use them in combat, ||Lox || are worth it if you make a plains base and want protection and easy ||lox || meat
||Chickens ||are very worth it for food
Don't forget base protetion and combat assistance.
indeed Thorin
I mean from invasions I havent had any problems
so from what Ive seen chickens are the only ones that are good
Perspective
because two star wolves sound way too rng to get
Boar are good up to swamp, as you need their meat for the sausages. After that they're not as useful anymore.
Wolves are good base protection and if you manage to tame and breed a large pack, help with bossfights as well.
Lox makes it a lot easier to move large stacks of salvaged metal from the plains to either a plains base or your boat; as you can can still ride them while being very much overloaded.
Chickens are end food up to now, so yes, makes them very useful.
Then there's of course the skins they drop.
For boars, the leather scraps are pretty soon useless; but if you got the obliterator at least they're helping to get a nice supply of coal.
Wolf fur is needed for armor, so useful,
Lox pelts make nice carpets in front of a fire place in case you want a romantic evening...... 😉
And chicken feathers are useful for both arrows and the cape.
pitabred will say boars are op all game long
cause you get coal and scraps for ooze bombs
I got wolves at my BF base and it's like having a wood, stone, eye, resin etc farm.
I had that at one of my plains bases which was close to a patch of BF.
Made it a lot more useful as I had anticipated at when founding that base.
Yeah mine is close to plains. I got a couple lox and they have destroyed all the trees in the area lol
Lumber Lox has good ring to it
im just going round taking names of loxes
You mean like this:
https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198033242330/screenshots/?appid=892970
??
Pretty legit take. Just up to the player. I'd say you're fine on just chickens
On my current run I'm prob just gonna do chickens and then some lox to patrol my plains base and give me easy food. It is also a hardcore very hard extra raids run so I'm trying to stay a bit safer with good food and protection
well ye if youre doing something extra then I can see how its helpful
Ive just been watching a movie waiting for barley to multiply enough so I can have a proper amount for cooking and replanting haha
im also such a nerd!
I made a bronze atgeir so it uses less stamina so I can harvest faster :)
On .5 resources I feel like a boar farm will go a long way for us lol
I agree
Is there any secret to those neat aassortments of grave-like stone clutter? I seem to find them pretty often and in the same pattern
Is it just me or is it actually a thing? can't be all a coincidence
I tried digging down some but found nothing. I'm always intrigued by them
Just wait until you've defeated the Swamp boss and visit those areas again. You may find something that time.
Isn't there a chest buried under those stone formations or something?
sometimes youll find me buried in it
Hello guys, is there a way to increase carry capacity?
Shucks :(, i really dont like being able to carry 300 weight units
Bring a friend
And by complaining about weight i think you got a good guess on what part of the game i am at
Currently playing with a friend, but he tends to goof around and explore maps,
Are you new to the game?
there is a way youll find it eventually, and youll also find a way to "HAUL" stuff after progressing a bit
Because there's a way to increase capacity but you need to find it first
I only started playing for 3-4 days, my friend bought the game for me so i can play something together w/ him
good friend
Indeed
Very sweet
We used to play L4D2 together but after we got thru all campaign maps, he doesn’t wanna play harder diff so he suggested playing this, i said i have no cash and he just bought it for me anyways so i can just play
keep playing, keep exploring, keep grinding, and youll find the solution fast enough. i just dont want to ruin the experience of the first playthrough xD
hmm not quite but by following convo id guess copper mining
And this game has been fun so far, even if for 30-ish days in game i had done nothing but hunt animal and de-forestation
And apparently there are some trees that are still “too tough”, as if my flint axe aint good nuff
Anyways, copper mining, i hate it, not in the sense that it is a minus point in the game, but in the pure sense of it being the most annoying things to do
iv been there before xD
I think we all have
It takes a long time to mine a single area of Copper, and i can only carry a tiny portion of it and have to lug it way back to my HQ at Meadows
God forbid you accidentally engaged Auto-loot, you would have to keep throwing rocks away
It's best to set up smelters and a forge right next to the site so you can smelt it all and make stuff right there instead of lugging it back to your base
And also the smelting process, i hate it, also annoying. The coal-pumping machine only produce it at snail pace, and the smelter goobles up coal to only produce a single piece of metal
In the end it caused more panics for my logistical challenge more than it benefited me
You need at least two kilns
if only theres a way to speed up ingame time, just like how we do in real life to meet tomorrow 😉
Before it was so straightforward: wood - flint- animal scraps - stones. Now it is: Copper ore, tin ore, charcoal? Put in smelter : burn more. Out of charcoal? Burn wood : burn meat. Out of wood? Chop tree
And by the time i chopped trees it is night time and the annoying grey-mobs started trying to violate me
ahh the annoying greydudes. but trust me itll get easier as you progress
It is like mining takes a day to get some copper ore back. And then it takes another day to chop tree + watching the smelter like a hawk in case it runs out of fuel, because it cant run without fuel and more ores doesnt mean much when the old ores arent melted yet
I only figured out how to repair items yesterday, before that i made so many stone axes and bows and spears
Now i am paying the price by having too many junks in chests
Tip for the smelter and charcoal kiln is to sleep during the night,
I find it's best to get bronze weapons and armor first before doing Eikthyr, because then you only have to deal with boar and neck invasions rather than greydwarves.
Nope, Eikthyr
But it can only smelt 10 pieces of ore only, so it is still a massive waste of times
And fuel can just run out anyways so it is not also 10 pieces guarantee
Hence why you build more than one
chop chop time to get more cores
I aint goin into the dungeon again to get the core
wut why not? XD
Last time i was there the skellywags beat me to rags
Well you can't complain about it taking too long then 😛
My friend got sliced twice inside the same dungeon
XD another tip is enemies have their own damage type weakness
Yarr i will show these skellywags what’s up
btw whats your buddy doin at the moment? xD im curious LOL
Got hit once, lost 25 health
Damn skellywags got hands
Sleeping, our sessions ended a while ago
Now i am also going to sleep soon
oh lol. but remember food is just as important as gear.
Oh yea we learnt that lesson a while back
Day 1 we were terrorized by the grey-mob and died so many times because of the low health pool
Then we started learning that “Jessie, we gotta build beds” and then learn that we have to build roof for beds, and then fire place next to beds
have you noticed the rested buff?
But after a while, after killing so many boars and necks, our meat supply is abundance so eating 3 types of meat in 1 slot was as common as pie
And then our health pool was 100+ with lotsa mana
And then we killed the deer boss 3 times over
hmm nice
you should have unlocked the hammer then, that would make your life easier in the dungeons
What is the use of fish tho, caught 2 fish stranded on shores, cant use it on fire place and cant eat it raw
What’s hammer?
you need a cauldron
which requires tin, then you can turn it into actual "raw fish" ready for cooking
get some tin, that can be found near the shores of the black forest
its pretty good food
you also need a forge in order to place the cauldron, so get some copper as well.
Got 50 tins
youll love it,
8 copper, 2 bronze which i used to make the copper ax
I thought it was melee weapon but it was for chop tree bruh
you already have a forge then
What’s a forge?
and the axe is actually both, it can be used as a melee weapon as well
the crafting bench
the forge is the crafting table where you made the bronze axe.
Idk i made some kind of ax, maybe not bronze ax
Anyways, got myself a boney shield, and a troll suit
My main weapons used to be flint knife + flint spear, but now i use copper knife + flint spear
check out the "stagbreaker" in the workbench and conquer your fears of the dungeons. in your next session with your friend ofcourse
I will stay clear of dungeons before i kill the next boss
that's not gonna be viable unless you're very experienced with the game
You need to go into them before killing the next boss dude
you need materials from those dungeons to progress in the blac- wait, you already did some dungeons, you made a copper knife.
xD are you afraid of those skellywags? 
this seems pretty confusing!
If you want to make more smelters you'll need more cores
Duh! They hit so hard, and basically a moving tank
Or at least sharp weapons and arrows dont hit them as hard
the stagbreaker has knockback, and deals blunt damage
All i am sayin is i made it out once and not comin back
don't be afraid, the skeles just want some hugs my dude
whispers- AOE aswell 😉
The yellow mushrooms and red core is nice to have
The game is going to get a lot harder than the dungeons
My friends while exploring maps has found 7 dungeons
may i give you some general advice, EvilDog?
hhmmm handy friend
Real handy, until i was the guy doing all the housewife works: grilling meat, chop tree, expand domain house, now with the smelter i have to gather copper and wood to make coal and metal
i don't understand what that gif is trying to say, but i'll do it anyway since it could help other new players.
don't be afraid to die. Getting into situations that can get you killed are really the only ways for you to learn from those situations and improve. You don't lose anything except for 5% skill points when you die, and at the black forest level, 5% of your skill points is quite small.
dying is a normal part of valheim until you master the game.
lorewise ur already dead anyways
It wasn’t supposed to mean anything, just like some sort of response placeholder gif
But sure tmr i will explore dungeon again with level 1 wood club
💀 upgrade that for maximum dungeon clearance 🤘
dont forget the stagbreaker
yet again you need the dungeon to uprade the club
often, as soon as i get 5 bones, i'm right back out to go upgrade the club. helps a lot in hard mode 😄
I hate how the first ever raid happened while i was understrength, so i got beat up by the mob of grey 3 times over
And they wreck my undefended house, not totally but a few walls and fireplace
And they wont leave, they keep loitering around the house so i cant sleep, i have to call friend over for some help
The first event you can get is only boars and necks.
meh thats fine, bet you learned to add defences now xD
No for me it is the grey mob, somehow i got no boars and neck
The top text was: the forest is moving….
Yeah, you can get that after killing Eikthyr.
And then my friend who is, as i said, exploring maps and poking around dungeons, told me that the black bird flew to him to tell him that the raid is happening
My first ever raid was greydwarves too, but I had a well defended base by then.
Many people just beat eikthyr too quick to get raided by his army I think
While i was unlucky enough to be caught understrength
do you know that they are afraid of fire?
Idk what are the use of feathers
I dont, but so am i
Raids also spawn brutes and shaman xd
But fire definitely helps
Fire is my kryptonite, just behind skellywags and trollge, actually scratch that trollge is not that hard
Arrows mostly.
Yea as i suspected, even tho idk what is the use of flint arrow
Fire makes sense but flint? What does it do? More dmg?
mhmmm
Instead of painstakingly hunt birds and waste flints on arrow, i can just… make more wooden arrows
I do craft fire arrows a lot, but usually wood arrows do all the tricks
I used wood arrows up until plains so lol you might be fine
Yeah I generally use only wood as well, unless I have a specific purpose for using other types
Guess i will be crafting wood/ fire now
I used everything, that single digit damage increase, i see it as a big pp damage
At least fire is useful to fight against troll
Anyways, i hate dungeons and mining copper
I need to learn how to parry with shield so maybe next time boneyman with sword wont take a chunk off my health
Flint would prolly do better on trolls I think
My friend said the boney shield can block a lotta dmg
Haven't tested
I play game to avoid using brain and u tell me i have to use brain?
well not really, just use the hammer xD its pretty braindead if you ask me
you don't have to use your brain, you can just go bash your face against skele swords if you want to
Also how to build house effectively? Most of the pre-built house in meadows are built so awkwardly near slopes that it is so hard to expand domain
I used the earth pounder and it was… underwhelming
A frames
you put walls down, and you put a roof on the walls
It only turned the rocky area into a smushed earthy crater
earth pounder? the stagbreaker?
oh the HOE
at the beginning of the game i usually build long-houses because they require less support for the roofing
The hoe
That is what i mean, cant built long house because near slopes
you can build a house anywhere though
ya
just choose any spot, start building a house
One side of house has slopes downward, one side is with rocky incline, and i am not ready to move base to black forest yet
Too many stuffs to move, too little time to do so
And if i break chests with hammer i may lose stuffs inside that chest
Note to self, dont use the demolisher near a dvegr tower
Gonna be a hell of a corpse runs
I would always have my eye on the nearest high ground. If your jump can get you on top of an upright rock, try to work near one
not, if you break a chest, its contents just fall on the ground
i know someone who built his main base in the meadows, its just of a preference in the biome
In any cases it would be a lot of effort to move from A to B, not to mention i still have a lot of stuffs that are unaccounted for
evildog, you are giving a lot of reasons you can't do something, there is only one way to get what you want, and it's what you don't want to do. You must make up your own mind.
Of the early game base builds I have seen, none of them seem to take advantage of raised earth, the best defence
raised earth is pretty good defense, but boi they are very ugly xD
Moving bases is t that bad and is part of the game imo. Especially once you need resources from various biomes. And you don't have to move everything all at once.
Okay i will move, but my friend created that server, so i cant just pop in while he is offline to move base
Yeah 😄 but otherwise your base isn't going to look pretty for long
i prefer motes much more than raised earth tbh, motes even do me well all the way through the mist
xD true that
So i will move whenever he is online and he agrees to moving, otherwise he does whatever he will and i will figure it out
I like to cap them with stone walls if I want them to look nice. Sometimes I like the down and dirty trench style with spikes everywhere
You would hate my current build
send it in screenshots let me see xD
hmm thats a good idea actually
@uncut bough if you wanna play badly, there is an option of you starting up a single playthrough as well to play when your friend isn't here, you could at least do the things you wanna do immediately without waiting, and get some more practice with game
just a suggest 🙂
But then would i keep my entire house layout and what i have gathered
So is a hybrid food stack alright? I'm always went balanced but in mistlands there isn't a jerky equivalent that I've found yet.. considering doing hare/salad/ and an eitr food. I haven't messed with magic yet
what i mean is creating a new character and starting a new world with that character, not the same one
a separate playthrough.
but, for clarity sake: no, the world file is on your friends computer, you don't have it -- what you can do is join other servers with your character and the character save follows you, but the world doesn't
you havent touched magic you wont need the eitr food
Maybe i would pass, i will wait for friend and arrange moving with him
a true friend indeed
It is not the same playing without friends yknow, not that fun
shi makes me cry ngl. does that mean im lonely? ;=;
The entire purpose of me playing that game is to play w/ friends, otherwise i torture myself playing War Thunder
oh god

no, many of us play solo, and frankly, i prefer solo over playing with a lot of people on a server
it's just to each their own
I can play solo but mostly it is more fun to play with non-rando player who i can easily coordinate with
well i too mostly play solo xD and only thing i do when i play with friends is build houses for them xD
Me and my chums are waiting for the game to be finished before we do another playthrough. It's so much better with chums
🙂
And bonus friend factor is that while i am walking from A to B i can do small talks that would let off some steams
thats nice
Whereas if i do that to strangers they would legit consider me to be joker incarnated
probably not tbh
the vcs in this discord are pretty cool, most people that join are chill and stuff
as long as it's valheim-related talk
The last time I was in there everyone was screaming at each other
hence "most"
Like fighting troll, sure i can fight alone, but it is more fun to have him draw the troll away, while i shoot it with arrow, and both of us scream whenever the troll chases either of us
Know what im sayin?
true that, just try not to cut them off while they are talking xD.... had joined a stream a few times here just watching and listening them speak. they started muting each other xD
😛
Kiting trolls around the meadows and BF are ways to get copper and fine wood before killing Eikthyr, if you didn't know
there are definitely people that like to argue or just be toxic, like any gaming discord really, but i find them few and far between tbh
tru dat
Wut da hell?
🙂
you want the fun route? xD
I mean i did see troll knocks down a few trees but i didnt know this
Welcome to the 🧀 of 
They smash trees and ore deposits to pieces.
was gonna suggest.. don't do that on your first playthrough :/
I am already having fun
the Fun and deadly route xD
Why always gif embed failure
I definitely need to know how to mine copper with troll
why, just do it with your pickaxe 😄
In short, be like these cats
I am tired of spending an entire day mining and hauling a piece of copper back it is just so annoying aofjjsijdjsjss
xD yea do it with your pickaxe like a VIKING! 
Valheim need to introduce Pick-up truck already
we have carts
I need to haul cargo from A to B effortlessly
Did Vikings have pick-up trucks? 
Now they will, nothing a patch cant change
before pick-up trucks, can we get some iron carts?
Pneumatic jackhammers would be a nice addition
its always the orange cat
in before add redstone
Rifles would be a nice addition
Stray!
lol
Imagine killing annoying deer from far away
we do kinda already have a shotgun
though it's not a shotgun, it's got the power of a shotgun.
it's like a shotgun with slugs.
Anyways maybe tmr, i gon sleep now
Recently I cut a tree and it landed on a deer running past. Very unlucky deer
gg wp
conquer ur fear of the skellywags tomorrow. dont forget the stagbreaker its braindead
Yesterday i was using flint knife and pounce on a Boar, i misjudged the distance so i pounced short, but a bird happen to fly into my knife so i killed the bird instead
whatever you do, don't listen to the haters that tell you that the spear is trash. It's goated!
mission failed successfully
Who even said that the spear is so good
Or at least the flint spear in black forest is still good, still one of the best long range weapon with throw ultility
At least until i make my Axe or sword, then i ditch spear and go full bow and sword
RIP spear
youll love the other kind of spear, but thatll have to hold for now
Spear > Atgeir
+1
I do love me some spears though but in terms of you ditching spears

@lunar sapphire If they would take away pierce resistance on 3 of the bosses, i'd probably main spear forever
GOING AHAB on them AH
Idk what even stagbreaker is but thanks
Thank you for that ping
youll love it tomorrow
oh, sorry i guess.
the council of bees shall reconsider your actions
If the bees are happy, I'm happy.

Here you go. Practicality first #screenshots message

Bruh i moved workbench to a new position and suddenly the level dropped to 2
You're not cooking bees are you?
meh, have fun in your angry bee planet 😛
It's out of range of the upgrades
👀 ..... 
thats actually very good
IS THIS THE REAL VALHEIM CHAT?
no
Of course.
got that right
So, I've just had two serpents spawn in clear weather during the daytime.
this a bug?
nope it happens during a storm, you mightve missed it, they dont despawn
learned about it just 2 days ago
Like when you dodge a Troll with your raft in the middle of a small river and forget that it was there next time you pass
yea xD, exactly like that
More Lox shenanigans in Screenshots
so there can be just serpents roaming around that never despawn?
They'll stay in the vicinity of their last position as you leave
yes
chriiiiiiiiiiiist
they are pretty easy tho. good food aswell
I have a crippling fear of sea monsters
