valheim-chat

[ocean bluff]

what do you think is the best shield type? buckler, round or tower?

[night aspen]

yeah, its my first game, but allready into day 360

[merry pebble]

depends, if you are confident in your parry use buckler, if you want only block and you don´t like moving fast then tower shield and if you like parry and decent holding block then round

[night aspen]

i started to love Valheim

[rustic compass]

i feel like the towers shield should have a parry of like atleast 1x

because they're so boring to use

[night aspen]

Can you parry and counter attack with any weapon same as you do with a round shield equipped and one hand weapon?

[ocean bluff]

yea i mainly use round shields and then i use tower shields only with bosses because you cant parry them and stuff like that

[rustic compass]

yep

[ocean bluff]

how many bosses have you defeated

[merry pebble]

yep you can, but you will not be able to block that much dmg

[ocean bluff]

yea i tried to parry a troll with only bronze mace needles to say that i died instatly. i also wore no armor

[odd kernel]

Do your skills levels degrade over time?

[merry pebble]

no, only with death

[little swift]

Damn, thats a lot of time on a single world, i guess you have a really nice base

[vocal rivet]

Not especially

[night aspen]

3 so far

[night aspen]

not that nice, but i put alot of effort into gathering vegetables and hunt deers, lol

cooking and gardening xD

didn't even use stone walls or ground yet

[paper roost]

days are just a non important number, as long as you enjoy the game, all is as it should be 🙂

[regal spoke]

I got to around 700hrs mostly building. Wasn't until this year I got past 5th boss.

[untold burrow]

anyone playing Valheim now?

me and my friend wanna join

[frozen void]

#1024264966712340510 have a look

[regal spoke]

Biding my time personally. But we have a sweet #1024264966712340510 channel.

[rustic compass]

yay we killed the queen

[rustic compass]

honestly? not too hard just a bit annoying

[paper roost]

how many people? did you use magic?

[storm gale]

Need some ashlands in my life.. How long we talkin..

[odd helm]

Within the first half of this year

That's the only official word

[light moat]

So within 4 months basically, so it’s pretty darn close!

[slow leaf]

Yeah... casually goes back to farming on Day 1779

[uncut bough]

Guys, how do i adjust the mast of the boat? Why is it stuck at 1 angle in my boat?

[little swift]

Is this real?

[frozen void]

why wouldnt it be?

[vocal rivet]

Well, given they thought 360 days seemed a lot earlier, 1779 probably sounds completely outlandish.

[uncut bough]

i am sailing again

[frozen void]

im at around 1450 hours on my main world

[exotic cradle]

I'm not gonna say anything 😬

[languid root]

i have ~ 3100 day on my first ever world and a huge building site after that (still in progress). So mentally attached to it, never gonna leave it

i know every tree and boulder there

[cosmic oak]

Disappointed you can't stack coin stacks, there goes that build idea

First world problem: what to do with all this gold

[boreal meadow]

buy 4 egg

[odd kernel]

Level progress or entire levels?iam just trying to make sire if I just haven't been paying attention,or if there's a mechanic iam not aware of

[night aspen]

Anyone experienced blackscreen issues while playing? If it happens, i can still move the cursor, but nothing happens.

[merry pebble]

i am not sure 🤔 every death takes 5% of lvls by default but i don´t know if it also takes the progression or not

[night aspen]

on PC, windows 10

[uncut bough]

can we create guns in Valheim, i am tired of dealing with troll

i finally sailed to the Elders location, got routed by a troll and a swarm of greylings , and died there

so, last time i died at sea, now i died at a beachhead. I tried to run away but when i came back to where i was at, the boat was destroyed :/, so i died

so my best items are stuck there on the island..... just incredible

[languid root]

You lose both 5% of your levels and all the xp progress from your current level.
Actually i think it's somehow more complicated, cause how do you lose skills from low levels then. Anyway, your current xp progress inbetween levels always goes to 0

[merry pebble]

make atgeir

[uncut bough]

My friend used that, and he got killed by Lox first

[paper roost]

you loose 5% which also sum up+ progress, it can be cruel sometimes

[uncut bough]

So uh, we died because we were ambushed, and now we have to create the 3rd boat :/

[languid root]

Do you guys have any of basic instinct of self-preservation? You seem too careless to me

[acoustic matrix]

hey guys im new, can i join any sever valheim, ive played about 5 hrs and finding a sever to play with

[languid root]

Don't land in black forest if you can be killed by a troll. Land in meadows, settle there, make a spawn point and then go for exploration

[odd helm]

There's plenty of servers to choose from in #1024264966712340510!

[acoustic matrix]

tks

can you repeat the passworld

[glass parrot]

If I save and logout of a Valheim world will enemies attack me as soon as they spot me as I log back in?

[bright rock]

Pretty sure it does, I always check how much skill I lose after death and all skills has no progression bar on them

However if the gods are merciful…

[plush patio]

hey guys is there any public server for the xbox version, i play pc via gamepass version.

[uncut bough]

We did, we don’t die to a troll normally, but only that an unexpected Lox came and killed my friend

In a vaccuum we kill troll easy, but since we just landed , everything went south, the sky went dark too fast, no shelter can be built in the process and there comes the troll and the greyling army

[twin cape]

Is it okay to use devcommands me and my friends want to but we r new to game so idk if its a bad thing or not

[merry pebble]

i would suggest you play at least one playthrough without mods or commands, but you may do as you like, nobody will stop you and as long as you have fun i think its alright 😄

[odd marsh]

what are you gonna use devcommands for?

[twin cape]

Just food I’m lazy

[stiff shadow]

being gated from good food off the start is intentional, if you set gathering rate to 1.5 or 2x you shouldn't have a problem with food

if your spawning yourself cooked lox meat and then going and fighting elkthir your sort of taking the game away from the game

[barren fulcrum]

Imagine cooked lox for Eikthyr

Of course play how you like to play, but the game seems as if it's designed to have at least some level of challenge for new players

[plush umbra]

You can kill a troll with like 10 wooden arrows from a finewood bow

[boreal meadow]

why make gun when you can make abyssal knife lole

[worn ledge]

beat bonemass for the first time about an hour ago, mountains here I come!

[sudden warren]

I'm trying to play valheim for the first time. I was playing on my own server with a friend for about an hour everything was working fine didn't change any settings. All of a sudden my pc went black screen and kept flickering. Kept trying again kept doing the same or just fully crashing. I've tried many fixes and nothing works. Anyone have any ideas i would be insanely thankful we want to play this game together so bad

[twin cape]

How do I safely deal with leviathans

[odd marsh]

Arrows

Oh nvm wrong creatures, just mine them get your boat close

They are pretty safe

[twin cape]

Mine them? With what tool

[odd marsh]

Pickaxe. Wait are we talking about the floating islands?

[twin cape]

No the creature it destroyed my boat

[odd marsh]

Oh the snake, just arrows

[twin cape]

It spawns near the island with the barnacles u harvest to get chitin

[odd marsh]

Just shoot at it

[merry pebble]

the "islands" are called leviathans and the snakes are sea serpents 😉

[odd marsh]

Ita kinda funny that the leviathan is a floating island, nvm just googled leviathan basically something thats large

[worn ledge]

okay who the hell is the norse god of wind, I swear I did something to piss them off because the wind is NEVER going the direction I need it to lol

[plush umbra]

They only spawn during storms or at night

[plush umbra]

It’s a creature that happens to be island sized

They have a face

[odd marsh]

Yea iv seen the eyes glow

[faint nebula]

Leviathans? I've seen one just off the edge of the world, totally unnaware that it should be falling to its doom. I wondered what would happen if I managed to jump to it and mine the chitin.

[cosmic oak]

No Leviathan deal

[light moat]

Just curious, any particular reason silver is so much heavier than other metals?

[plush umbra]

To make people more upset about using a cart on the mountains

Tin is 7.31 g/cm3 copper is 8.96g/cm3 iron is 7.87g/cm3 and silver is 10.49g/cm3 so it kinda makes sense

If you base it slightly off reality

[faint nebula]

glad we don't have to mine gold

[plush umbra]

19.3g/cm3 just got added to Ashlands because you woozle

[woven kettle]

What my Dedicated server hardware is.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hSoCmAoIMOU

What my Vanilla Valheim server feels like : https://i.imgur.com/hkgIcbU.png

When are we going to get some improvements over here?!

[plush umbra]

I've never had lag on my server maybe its a setting?

or mods?

[woven kettle]

Clearly said vanilla, Its not any settings in particular.

The game just isnt meant to have 10 friends playing together.

[plush umbra]

well thats your chunk master making you lag then

[woven kettle]

Heh...

Its not the node leader.

[plush umbra]

its client to client though

[woven kettle]

Our clients are more powerful than the server.... And we live in close proximity. We have less than 11 hops under 8ms to each other in the same town. Our town is central to zipzayo backbone Our DSLAM fiber fed.

[hot fern]

@woven kettle is the lag consistent, or does it occur when people go in and out of range of one another?

there is absolutely lag in the game when it comes to establishing the host and that depends on all the clients in the area

but, after that, when you're consistently with people, it should be fine

[woven kettle]

Consistent , I even hacked the server DLL and pumped up the rates, It helped minorly , The server is capable of saturating the connection to the client at 640kb/s

But with 17K instances

[hot fern]

17K is just too much

[woven kettle]

The shit is horrible, Boxes fail to open, doors open 30 seconds later., Server load is 1% mem use just under 5GB

[hot fern]

even over 10k will have issues loading quickly, and for lower end pcs it's terrible

[woven kettle]

Yeah, We been trying to move stuff around and keep it under 10K , this is really just a shit limitation. And its def not the game engine, there could be a hell of alot to improve it.

[hot fern]

it is, but it's also a pre-release game

minecraft has these same issues

[woven kettle]

Our computers are not.... Lower end...
I have a slightly modest rig, but the other guys are much better than mine.

[hot fern]

but yeah, it is what it is, i'm sure the dev team is aware 😛

small team, they're working hard

[faint nebula]

IIRC, the first computer to connect 'owns' the server and bears the heaviest load. Don't know if it matters in this case

also, the more players within about 100 meters creats a lot of lag. as they spread out on the map it gets better. Starting a new server game can be a nightmare

[woven kettle]

It doesnt, every computer has more than 48GB of ram DDR6, 4090's 13900K and 7800X3D's Less than 20ms latency to the server etc

[faint nebula]

you-all spent that much money on new hardware all at once? im impressed

[woven kettle]

Well majority of us work in the oil field and we all get the same time off to play at once, so we usually do.

I am a sys admin for a major oilfield company now. I dont have to swing a hammer all day long.

[boreal meadow]

da fuq do you need 48gb of ram for

and why isnt it 64 or 32

[woven kettle]

https://i.imgur.com/R20uRfW.png

[boreal meadow]

embed failure

[woven kettle]

DDR6 comes in nice pairs. , This channel doesnt allow embeding, click the link

[faint nebula]

that is an interesting amount of RAM. 4 x 12?

[woven kettle]

DDR5 runs at speeds that make anything over 64GB problematic

Edit : Fixed DDR5 ram typo

[woven kettle]

See above attachment, its a pair of 2

[boreal meadow]

ive never heard of 24gb ram sticks before

[woven kettle]

We all start some where.

[boreal meadow]

i guess if the starting point is over-paying for overkill hardware lol

[woven kettle]

We dont really see it as overpaying when it doesnt really matter how much it cost to us to have a 5% performance gain

[faint nebula]

what motherboard is it on?

[woven kettle]

Aorus Master

Prob could find a model for you, not that important to me at the moment.

[boreal meadow]

im running the game on a 4080 on an i7 with 16gb of DDR4 and i run 240 fps on pretty much any game i play and I only upgraded to the 4080 because my 1660ti coudlnt keep up anymore

[errant forum]

just killed the queen, ashlands u are good to come out whenever bro!

[boreal meadow]

now that i type it all out i dont even think my monitor is even 240hz so i should probably limit it atp

[woven kettle]

Even a 4090 cant push this game at 4k with 4k textures.

[boreal meadow]

does this game even have support for 4k

[woven kettle]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/972925334200651846/1209360460609101824/20240219_214615.jpg?ex=65e6a3b2&is=65d42eb2&hm=c56a17d1d386304cd699cc1fe16ccdf4afa1d1d7fdda5fdc60efd457bf99ab17&

Makes me a bit sad

[woven kettle]

With a resource mod, yes looks decent

[boreal meadow]

ah

this is like the lifted parking lot princess truck but for pc gaming lol

[woven kettle]

https://i.imgur.com/TqV78tL.jpeg

[faint nebula]

how many people do you have connecting at the same time?

[woven kettle]

I have just over 20K into my rig though, Still more modest than my homies.

[woven kettle]

The detail is wayyy better. https://i.imgur.com/sZ4gbxL.jpeg

[faint nebula]

for that price it better be watercooled and overclocked a lot

[boreal meadow]

mineral oil cooled

[faint nebula]

oohh. always wanted to get that brave

[boreal meadow]

cant trust water since if a leak happens you risk your setup, but mineral oil cant damage electronics

as far as my limited knowledge goes anyways

[woven kettle]

Mineral oil builds stink over time

[boreal meadow]

theres a dope video of a guy whos entire setup is submerged in mineral oil, which, as funny as it is, is still an interesting sight

[woven kettle]

Too much impatience on one of those build. I had one before, Its not all its cracked up to be.

And if the oil gets contaminated, It can short out your components

[boreal meadow]

cant beat the tried and true fans

[woven kettle]

Im still water cooled, just a little fancy https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/972925334200651846/1209361408081268786/20240219_215012.jpg?ex=65e6a494&is=65d42f94&hm=6b4038ff97e6a84b2efde869cb63770a06ea21a5b5c969b9bc6454a00499fe61&

[faint nebula]

Im happy with two d5 pumps keeping my water flowing.

[woven kettle]

Sandwiched radiator stack https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/972925334200651846/1209362036253921290/20240219_215241.jpg?ex=65e6a52a&is=65d4302a&hm=9f7d449932c2c5d7494616d825ca96e6ca1b55c64376253aa6bad54c02bc7a27&

[woven kettle]

Only problem is the hum from the D5 pump with bumpers is an auditory annoyance for me.

If its not absolutely quiet, after being in the field all day with hellaciously loud equipment, I will have a sensory overload while trying to focus on playing a game.

Also you would have to have multiple pumps to sustain flow through 2 480mm radiators, which is allows even more noise...

Ask me how I know

[faint nebula]

shrug. never hear mine. maybe I tune it out

[woven kettle]

Modest water cooled build https://i.imgur.com/xgfspwG.jpeg

[boreal meadow]

before i swapped my gpu out it used to make a rattling noise :^)

[woven kettle]

quad channel system with dual stacked 480 sandwiched rads all mag fans

[faint nebula]

interesting design choice. mine are top n bottom

[woven kettle]

This was a process build, What eventually ended up happening is 2 seperate loops to prevent temp saturation , Ideally I wanted a single loop with 2 EWK resi between each rad

[boreal meadow]

i tried to find ddr6 ram but all i can find is sources saying it dont exist yet for the public

[woven kettle]

Noise was absolutely fucking atrocious even with vibe bumpers and pads under the mounting points.

[woven kettle]

DDR5 , sorry for that typo

There is no DDR6 for consumer boards yet

[boreal meadow]

ok makes sense

[woven kettle]

Thats a component for video cards only atm I believe.

[boreal meadow]

They still don’t come in multiples of 6
They’re still 8,16,32,64 like normal
unless im wrong

[woven kettle]

One sec Ill get you an exact link @.@

gotta go download hwinfo64, im not taking the glass off my computer, takes too much work, gotta move the monitor and shit off

Computer is INSIDE the desk

[boreal meadow]

There’s a fucking set of 96gb of ddr5 ram nvm

what in odins name

[woven kettle]

Yeah but you wont ever get that to run at 6000MHZ

Motherboards fabric and FSB wont sync to anything over 6188

[faint nebula]

yike. probably for pro photoshop and graphics. wonder what the real world performance is

[boreal meadow]

overkill

likely not useable in any sense atm

[woven kettle]

which is a wierd ass multiplier
Heres some hardware list of this build. https://i.imgur.com/ymwf8wi.png
And my ram model : https://i.imgur.com/nD1yfhv.png

[woven kettle]

Yep I do a good bit of video encoding , but I dont want 64, too much memory paged slows down your system.

[faint nebula]

I remember when one meg of RAM first hit the market in the 80s. nobody knew what to do with it

[woven kettle]

I remember my first computer 486-DX4-100 with 16mb of ram

Better memory pic with configuration https://i.imgur.com/nSL4J3g.png

Suppose you can see why we find it annoying that the game runs like absolute ass when it shouldnt...

[faint nebula]

Valheim was intended for 5-6 people max. Ive seen server games where 30 people try to log in at the start of a new world and it lags and crashes almost immediately. They had to log in in groups and spread out.

[woven kettle]

Our server hardware is also quiet state of the art as well, nearly the best money can reasonably buy. We own a entire cabinet in a local data center.
https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/972925334200651846/1209363106321408050/20240213_175047.jpg?ex=65e6a629&is=65d43129&hm=25ca6e35072a502037878477ace82fee14b1cb20a0a90d2ac9f1fb374e699d76&=&format=webp&width=1197&height=898

https://i.imgur.com/rW8Wwnv.png

[woven kettle]

The most we had connected was 14 people, but yes, it was unbearable to play. Really irritating

And we have communicated countless times that massive teraforming was a nono... https://i.imgur.com/lIpFfts.jpeg

If the dedicated server portion was actually a server, it would be better. I doubt we will ever see that.

[small imp]

Anyone else get zoned into Valheim and listen to Heilung the whole time? Or the Witcher 3 OST? Always makes me feel so immersed.

[urban fulcrum]

What does everyone reckon the Deep North progression will be?

Meadows is hunting, BF is mining, Swamps are crypts, Mountain is mining again, Plains is pillaging, Mistlands is turning dwarfs to goo

[small imp]

A thought would be the origin of the Wolf curse and cult.

[urban fulcrum]

My awful terrible no good very bad take

[small imp]

Oh same. I have no idea what it'd be XD

[urban fulcrum]

I wanna have a trader sell the metal. Maybe in exchange for a biome coin

like for example, sayyyy

[small imp]

Be a bitcoin duergar miner LOL

With my Aetherium pickaxe XD

[urban fulcrum]

There's a clan of dwarves in the deep north, getting tormented by frost giants. In exchange for proof that you killed them, they'll sell you cold metal scrap and other goodies

[small imp]

Oo, frost elves/giants would be awesome.

[urban fulcrum]

I reckon it'll be frost giants since, there are giants in Valheim, they're just dead

[small imp]

👀 :true:

[urban fulcrum]

But it could also be mining the ice flows, since there's the unique challenge of dealing with ocean mining and stuff

See I’m in a weird position where like, I’m sure Ashlands is gonna be super great and fun and all that

But I’m arguably more interested in how they design the stuff than actually playing it

[small imp]

For sure. Halls of Silver to "keep" away the wolf curse

Frost giant boss.

[urban fulcrum]

Like please tell me what happened to the little vultures they teased

Are they gonna be bats? Are they gonna be little friends we can tame?

I wish there was like, an idea sheet for people who just wanna get super spoiled

are yall doing crossplay?

yeah usually my friend start hosting and i join via steam

but today i got in and top left show connection issue icon

and for my friend's side (the host) doesn't see me load in

i can still running around to grab resources and store them on character side but server side don't register it, portal don't work too

[odd marsh]

lagging perhaps

[opal prairie]

Morning gjall.

[near furnace]

VPN or Wifi?

[cosmic oak]

What up gjall

[left knot]

ah valheim returned to order

[odd marsh]

Yeepp

[opal prairie]

I show up and bring order?

[left knot]

well more like the uhhh

Not the cleaning we wanted but the cleaning we deserved?

[near furnace]

🤷

no one deserves such harsh cleaning tho

[urban fulcrum]

Second run is always cleaner than the first

[near furnace]

True..... 🤔

I mean. an overhaul was due anyhow. but not like that 😄

[urban fulcrum]

Well without any bad we can’t have good

[odd marsh]

idk why but a scene with deadpool pooping in my head played and said, gotta love the ones that make you sweat

[north dome]

my friend using wifi, i'm using cable

we don't use VPN

there's a third friend tested and those 2 can play normally but i can't connect to the server

[odd marsh]

hmmmm lets see, what do i do in valheim

opens up long list

hmmm lets see, reads fill up each finewood chest with each plant and food

[silk rivet]

I had similar problems lately on a crossplay server, had to restart my router to fix it (for a while). If you are on pc you can also clear, flush and reset your connection via cmd window, that's a bit faster. Someone told me it's due to playfab having problems with crossplay currently (?).
Now I'm playing on a non-crossplay server and zero problems since.
If all of your friends play on pc, you could disable crossplay on the server, that probably helps.

[half dragon]

Player: This house could use some renovation.
Troll: Destroys the whole house

Brenna Trophy on an item stand makes for a great lamp

[gray nexus]

surtling trophies are a cheaper version of that but brenna is quite bright

[near furnace]

try to restart the server / host client 🤔

[craggy mason]

yeah but if you get Brenna raids then you chilling

[gray nexus]

i mean sorta i guess

[formal kraken]

I was upset when I realized Lanterns produce less light than torches. Went back to Surtling heads for larger spaces.

[craggy mason]

is the wolf raid the only one that can trigger away from workbenches

[languid root]

yes

[craggy mason]

nice

[opal prairie]

Indeed, there is also one that can only trigger in the mistlands near workbenches I believe.

[craggy mason]

I see

I must way, wolf raid when hunting Lox is very conveniently timed

[opal prairie]

Yeah, jump onto something high and see them tearing strips from each other, you'll only need to do some cleanup after.

[cosmic oak]

My record for Wolf raid meat harvest is 47

I personally killed zero of them

[craggy mason]

if you walk out of the circle, the raid's timer doesn't stop, right

which means it can keep spawning indefinitely ?

[uncut bough]

timer dont stop but they dont spawn i think

but the mob that already spawned still chase u

[opal prairie]

In multiplayer, the event timer ticks when any of the players are in the event area.
However event enemies are only spawned when the zone owner is in the event area.

[winged oasis]

I'll be honest and say that after almost completing the game again, I can't for the life of me figure out why this game has remained completely unchanged in everything but its content. Why has there never been any significant changes to all the unfair things, the imbalance, the "glitches", the confusing UI everywhere, and no QoL? Of course this game is just in early access... but nothing being changed in almost 3 years? How come? Has the dev team decreased? Have they just stopped really updating the game to wait for a full release?
It doesn't make any sense to me, considering how easy it would be to improve this game with minor improvements.

[vocal rivet]

We've had dozens of improvements and updates over the last 3 years as well as several major content patches.

[winged oasis]

Hmm okay, fair. Not that I noticed any of them, except for the new content which I did mention yes. But please elaborate, what sorts of improvements?
I'll say that I never was that interested in the building aspect of the game, if that's what you're thinking of.

[opal prairie]

The easy to improve is from your point of view and might change to a freaking load of work from a developers point of view.

[craggy mason]

Ahh so I can't use it for farming wolves indefinitely ahah

[winged oasis]

Of course it's from my pov. But these aren't big changes I'm thinking of. It's minor things that are consistently bad across the board.
One example would be item textures in your inventory. Why does it still look like some mockup/temporary texture for most of them?

[opal prairie]

Indeed, it will stop eventually.

[vocal rivet]

I cna't think of anything that's consistently bad. Do you have some specific examples?

[opal prairie]

Those minor things might require more work than you think, it isn't just changing a one to a zero or the other way around, a small change somewhere can lead to a load of imbalances or problems somewhere else.

[winged oasis]

I am not unfamiliar with gamedev dude. I have made my own small games, and I can even see on the modding page that some of these missing things already exist as mods. You are not correct about these things "being bigger" than they might seem. (sorry for coming off as a little aggressive)

[vocal rivet]

He's absolutely correct, and putting things in bold doesn't make them true.

[winged oasis]

Explain to me why fixing bad texture icons would affect or imbalance the rest of the game. Please...

[versed moon]

Hello, simple question. did you know how disable or at least choose if an item is added or not automatically in the hotbar when pickup, that really annoying ..... thanks !

[vocal rivet]

Press the V key.

[winged oasis]

No, this seems like it's another one of those basic things missing. Proper tools for inventory management. Just steal what other survival games do actually. The V key isn't enough imo.

[versed moon]

what does the V key ?

[vocal rivet]

V toggles automatic pickup.

[opal prairie]

Since we have no concrete thing you are talking about I couldn't say if it would effect more than what meets the eye.
It might be things the devs don't want to implement even or things that might take more time than they are willing to allocate to it and will get to during polishing the game up near the end.
If they already exist in mods there is even less incentive to put any work towards it since it is already available and no resources have to be taken away.

[winged oasis]

"If they already exist in mods there is even less incentive to put any work towards it since it is already available and no resources have to be taken away."

Is not what I imagine the mind of a developer would be lol. Usually you'd see the developers trying to polish their game themselves to ensure that even players who don't play modded (me for example) get the intended polished experience.

[opal prairie]

The inventory gets filled up from left top to right bottom if I'm not mistaken, if you pick up something new that can't be stacked with something you are already carrying and there is a spot open in the hot bar it will get added there.

[opal prairie]

When the game is nearing completion and you want it to look nice and you have every resource, texture and thing you will have in the game available and can take a look at all of it at once then it would be a logical moment to do that, not in the middle of creating a game.

[vocal rivet]

'Is not what I imagine the mind of a developer would be lol. Usually you'd see the developers trying to polish their game themselves to ensure that even players who don't play modded (me for example) get the intended polished experience.' - I'm sure they will. You're aware the game isn't finished yet, right?

[azure yacht]

You seem to be expecting those fixes and updates to be available/released every week as if that was possible.

You think of 5 things that "need fixing" but in reality there are hundreds of them, and without counting actual new features, mechanics, etc. So it's a matter of time and patience, they're a small team, they can't simply put everything in the game without proper discussion and testing

[fair cairn]

reading the chat i now know who to block

[winged oasis]

oh the delusions of early access. The game has already earned 172m dollars gross revenue according to some sites.... There's no reason for them not to put it a lot of resources to make this "middle" part a big deal. That the game "isn't finished" is totally besides the point.

[plain bane]

#suggestion-discussion is really good for that.

[vocal rivet]

I would take any numbers like that with an absolute pinch of salt and don't expect IG to have received a fraction of that.

[azure yacht]

"some sites"

I can perfectly imagine the kind of sites...

[fair cairn]

i would say you should take anything on the internet with a tablespoon of salt

[winged oasis]

Based on the price of the game and amount of units sold.... It's not rocket science guys.,

[vocal rivet]

Also, why would you fix something multiple times rather than waiting until everything was settled and THEN fix it once. That's far more efficient use of time.

[vocal rivet]

Or accurate.

[fair cairn]

dont forget that steam takes like 30% if not more of the profits made through steam

[winged oasis]

plus minus $50 M and it's still pretty high no?

[azure yacht]

So you think every single copy they sold goes to the devs?

Steam works as a free service? The publishers they're working with? Taxes from government?

[winged oasis]

No??

[plain bane]

On the topic of 'minor things and QoL' are spears still garbage?

[frozen void]

Dont forget regional pricing~

[azure yacht]

On top of that

More money does NOT equal faster and more efficient workflow. It never did, it never was

[vocal rivet]

Not remotely high, no. You have salaries (for 3 years now), office overheards, software licenses, percentage shares to Steam and Coffee Stain etc etc etc. You have NO idea.

[fair cairn]

they arent really no

[winged oasis]

Why? I thought I made myself clear. When a game as popular as Valheim was when it released, I can see no reason why they shouldn't have capitalized on that

[vocal rivet]

In what way have they not?

[winged oasis]

Never was my point.

[plain bane]

Their hitbox at least used to be terrible and getting them to land was a nightmare.

[azure yacht]

Oh, that is an important factor. It's not even 20$ for every single copy, many were sold by far less due to this.

Never thought about this

[opal prairie]

There absolutely is a valid reason, would you rather they finish the game or polish the game now and push finishing the game back some more?
I know I'd like them to first finish the game, have the overall picture of the game, have every texture, every polygon, every model, every whatever in the game before they start polishing it, so they can do all the polishing, painting and optimization all in one big chunk rather than a bit here and a bit there.

[frozen void]

The team is three times bigger than on release

[azure yacht]

It literally was...

#valheim-chat message

[fair cairn]

oh yea steam sales and that shit as well

[frozen void]

Its like 14 here in norway

[light moat]

Even still, lots of money doesn’t mean a whole lot. Ubisoft and Pokémon have a lot of money 👀

[frozen void]

Some regions is down to like 5

[azure yacht]

And they surely provide quality games with little to no issues

||Wheeze||

[fair cairn]

was 420 here well give or take

[winged oasis]

Eh? My point is that they earned a lot of money from release, indicating that it might have been smart to actually polish the game a bit? Now that it's actually popular... Wasn't making any points about them "working faster" lmao

[plain bane]

It's why Steam is kinda iffy on VPN's. Swapping to latvia to buy a triple A title is a bit rude

[frozen void]

I mean they have been

[fair cairn]

buyinga triple A title no
buying a indie game like valheim yes

[azure yacht]

Your point is literally to put resources into the development in order to get stuff.

It is literally about "throw more money so you work better".

At this point, it seems like you yourself don't even know what you talk about.

[fair cairn]

are you going to polish a sword your working on when your still working on it?

[plain bane]

I mean in valheim's case I woulda called it theft.

[vocal rivet]

The game HAS been polished since it first went into Early Access. In so many ways.

[winged oasis]

The exact same issues I had with the game then, I still have now. So as I said (mountains of text ago), I at least didn't notice it. Even still I'll admit that they of course haven't been doing nothing. Just not anything I noticed with my playstyle then

[strange arrow]

i can't remember a patch without a bunch of polish

[fair cairn]

the game is already a steal at 20 usd

[winged oasis]

I am sorry, but you are simply not reading what I'm saying.

[candid basalt]

I enjoy Valheim as is, and have played it since before hearth and home update. It’s only gotten better, only thing I want is to be able to fight on a hill

[vocal rivet]

So basically, your argument is that because the things YOU specifically wanted polished haven't been polished the entire game hasn't been polished. Gotcha. Moving on.

[fair cairn]

blocking is the best solution

[plain bane]

This is one of the few games I wouldn't have minded some amount of cosmetic monetization but amused they didn't go that route.

[winged oasis]

Yes, one of my biggest problems as well. It makes the mountain biome so annoying to fight in.

[azure yacht]

So it's something specifically for you?

Well then, that settles it. A minority of the player base complaining while the game is still a success

[azure yacht]

Totally lol

[frozen void]

All i see are vague notions of stuff you didn't like without any specifics

[candid basalt]

Arrows and positioning works

[worn ledge]

Sorry to distract from IronGate apparently being bajillionaires here, but is there not a silver helmet or am I missing some critical material that's not letting me see it?

[winged oasis]

Lmao. My problems aren't "ugh the trees fall in an inconvenient way for me" or something odd like that. They are just more combat focused, and focused on playing efficiently. Something this game doesn't like clearly.

[frozen void]

Drake trophy

[candid basalt]

But I compare other newer games to Valheim. It has become my expected standard in survival/build games

[plain bane]

Nobody tell Winter

[strange arrow]

yes

[winged oasis]

drake trophys

[vocal rivet]

You haven't once told us what your actual issues are.

[worn ledge]

Thanks larsi 🫡

[near furnace]

🤔

[winged oasis]

Haven't really been given the time lol but I'll go write my thesis /s

[fair cairn]

you have the drake trophy?

[worn ledge]

Haven't gotten one yet

[vocal rivet]

No, just a couple of bullet points would do. Then we could address them.

[azure yacht]

https://tenor.com/view/naruto-gif-22072927

[winged oasis]

It works. But it's a way around. Not something that feels intended

[azure yacht]

Moderation*

[fallen zephyr]

Drake helm is closest, I guess.

[fair cairn]

i believe thats needed for the silver helmet if im remembering right

[worn ledge]

Yeah that's what the others are saying

[plain bane]

Also need a cultist helmet for the fenrir hood and gooood luck with that

[opal prairie]

Do you mean the wolf armor set?
If so you are looking for the drake helmet which needs: ||20 Silver, 2 Wolf pelt and 2 Drake trophy||

[candid basalt]

Keep shooting dem flappy lizards

[strange arrow]

drake answer me, drake? DRAKE? DRAAAAKKKEEEE

[candid basalt]

Can find silver by smashing ground with a two handed hammer

[plain bane]

I sorta wish silver had alternative sources like bronze and iron

[vocal rivet]

There's not really enough need for silver to warrant that.

[plain bane]

Need a wishbone to know where it is unless you get a cliffside spawn

[vocal rivet]

A couple of veins on a mountain and you've got pretty much all you'll ever need.

[candid basalt]

I did a no boss run and found silver by random smashing the ground. See a bunch of no damage numbers and dig

[opal prairie]

If you hit the ground with the antler pickaxe you might get the message "too hard" or something along those lines, can't remember and that is to say there is silver down there.

[candid basalt]

Just like muddy piles in swamp underground. There are ways

Even stagbreaker will find em

[plain bane]

I did notice weird tiny meteor splash shaped rocks and dug there finding a silver vein once in a prior playthrough, but the ones I find now just have skeletal remains so it was probably a fluke

Also did they add a light armor set to Plains yet?

[serene talon]

they didn't

there still is only one armor set in the plains

[vocal rivet]

It's been said that gaps in the 'expected' progression of armour / weaponry is intended to avoid things being stale.

[serene talon]

yeah i wouldn't even have a idea for a light armor set for the plains

[faint nebula]

fenris comes to mind

[light moat]

Some have suggested a lox berserker set. Could be neat.

[vocal rivet]

I can't imagine lox pelts are particularly light.

[frozen void]

Lox fur is an easy one

[plain bane]

Maybe something Anatolian influenced or steppe leather armor.

Vikings did have 'some interactions' with the turks

[light moat]

There’s opportunity with linen as well. This is asking for a lot, but they could introduce a new mini boss similar to what they did with the abomination that introduces a new material.

[plain bane]

Deathsquito broodmother 😈

[serene talon]

Deathsquito brute yes yes

[faint nebula]

plains abomination... sounds fun

[light moat]

A long time ago I suggested a red dragon in the plains, with dragon scale armor being the reward essentially. But I kinda don’t like that idea much anymore lol

[serene talon]

i already hate abomination enough i dont need another one in the plains

[plain bane]

I was about to say 'master blaster style goblin-on-brute enemy' but ||apparently that's a thing now!?||

Abominations are one of the few enemies in the game that still give me pause on new playthroughs. Like the parries are pretty high risk

Feel like they have perfect difficulty for where they are though

[faint nebula]

alweays wondered why Valheim doesn't have Lindworms, mentioned in a number of sagas

[serene talon]

maybe it is planned for something else

[azure yacht]

The same reason why Valheim doesn't have "Insert X thing from Norse mythology here": Not everything is meant to be there.

Itt a game based on Norse mythology (it draws inspiration from), not supposed to be a 1:1 representation of it

[faint nebula]

yeah yeah. just wait until Freya is judjing you from the shadows too. 😀

[candid basalt]

How do you know she’s not??

[opal prairie]

She might be cross-dressing and appearing as Odin.

[faint nebula]

heh. cross-dressing is Odin's thing.
it's been.. hinted at.. that we might eventually see regular people NPCs in those empty settlements. It would make sense that Freya would bring them.

[vocal rivet]

Has it? That's somthing that's been regularly ruled out.

[faint nebula]

I know. I was surprised when smiffe hinted at it a couple weeks ago. he could have just been teasing or it might be on a dev wishlist that never happens.

[azure yacht]

If it's what I'm thinking about ||sieges|| being perfectly doable solo...

I really hope it's not the case.

Also, that doesn't really hints at NPCs, it could literally be anything else besides that

[plain bane]

...sieges?

[azure yacht]

Oh right

[plain bane]

How much did I miss in the last year or so heh

https://tenor.com/view/mib-men-in-black-will-smith-flash-gif-14554359464854820601

[plain bane]

That sure is a url but yeah I get the context of the text

[worn ledge]

The mountain biome gives me major skyrim vibes

largely the running/jumping up the mountain side

[light moat]

Riding a horse that climbs at an 85 degree angle lol

[fair cairn]

skyrim horses?

oh shit yes we are talking about skyrim horses with their insane climbing

[half dragon]

The new meta is adding an extra A to make sure it's really high quality! Critics and gamers just don't understand what a AAAA game looks like!

[toxic rose]

AAA vs AAAAAAAAA!!!?!

[half dragon]

Yes. But unfortunately they haven't quite reached AAAAA level yet. AAAA is the new peak of gaming

It takes a lot of talent make a worse looking game with bigger budget and almost 3 times more time spent on a game with far less features

[paper marsh]

maybe 3.5 A's would be enough?

Nah Gamers are greedy

[uncut bough]

the future is here, quadruple A game, now you need to ask NASA for a spare computer so that the game would be less shitty

[austere rune]

is this server back to real calhiem

[paper marsh]

yes

[austere rune]

okok

[near furnace]

you remember that old joke? 😮

[sour thistle]

is it possible to have a door placed flat so it opens like a bunker and if so how?

[odd helm]

Not in the vanilla game, no

[formal kraken]

I would love some floor doors. Would make tree houses make sense.

[sour thistle]

i didn't think so how can i get what im looking

[odd helm]

You'd want to ask in #mods-discussion

[rustic compass]

anyone got a seed that has lil sailing required?

[sour thistle]

okay thanks

[pliant hatch]

There's a so called "boss-run" seed in a guide at Steam where all bosses - except the Queen - are found at the main island or pretty close to it.
You might take a look at it and give it a try if you like it.

[rustic compass]

will I get enough resources for gear?

[pliant hatch]

yup

[plush umbra]

Idk where the bosses are in #1209246304321142875 message but it looks like lil sailing

[frigid gust]

I think the idea is that you can visit all biomes without building any workbenches. Better get it done ASAP though, because the new Ashlands will be impossible to access 😉

[craggy mason]

If devs make a light armor set after Fenris, so many people would use it instead of armor that slows you down

[plush umbra]

Well I’d say that implies lil sailing depending on the bosses

[frigid gust]

How can you sail without making a workbench?

[frigid gust]

They do... the Eitr Weave set is the light armor after Fenris. People still use Fenris 😉

[light moat]

That’s why we need a little incentive to using heavier armors 👀 though I will say, I find wolf armor to be drastically more defensive than fenris armor to the point where I prefer it more. Though I haven’t maxed out both sets fully yet, so maybe fenris set is a lot more defensive than I realize.

[frigid gust]

Fenris is for everything except boss fights. Armor values don't matter if the enemies don't hit you 😛

[light moat]

Well, the issue that you failed to address, is that I’m bad and I always get hit 🥲

Jokes aside, fenris is an awesome set, I plan to have 1 set of maxed fenris and two sets of maxed wolf armor before completing the mountains.

[frigid gust]

Gotta have your decorative sets 😛

[light moat]

This is like the third time I’ve mentioned this, but the frost caves are absolutely amazing, I think they really complete the mountain biome!

For sure, gotta have armors on display all around my base lol

[frigid gust]

Speaking of caves and bats, I need to test to see if bats fly through the jute curtains, or the banners. Might be a nice way to bat-proof a base without need a door to open and close.

[light moat]

The jute is really neat. I really appreciate the color contrast between the blue ice and red jute/cultists. Really strange thing to notice and appreciate I’ll admit, I wonder if that was a specific design choice? If so, it was a good one.

[stone mesa]

Wet 2:00

Cold

You could have another bite

[frigid gust]

❓

[formal kraken]

[smoky quarry]

i like blue jute. Royal blue is gud

[brittle flower]

I killed brenna hildirs fire skeleton into one of his tombs and now i decided to go kill her again to another smouldering tomb but she did not spawn

[pliant hatch]

known bug.

[brittle flower]

What could cause this?
Also i had one of the "she is hot on your tail raids" but she didnt spawn

Oh

[pliant hatch]

I think to solve it, you need to exit your game and restart it, then load the world.
But I can't guarantee she'll be there the next time.

[brittle flower]

Ok

But if i exit it saves the game so she wont be there

Is there a way i can quit the game without saving

[pliant hatch]

From what I remember from the Steam topic, she's there; but somehow spawned underground.
So exiting and restarting the game, may spawn her above the ground.

But as said, I can't guarantee it, as I've only done the Hildir quests once and thus haven't encountered that bug.

[brittle flower]

Ok ill try

[smoky quarry]

if only `squidos tamed with blood bags

[night aspen]

If i join someones lower progress game on my higher progress char, will his game recognize and change his raid's mobs?

I don't want to mess up his game

[plush umbra]

Yes if settings are not changed

[night aspen]

Oh, you can switch that in vanilla?

[latent wraith]

Raids are based on world kills unless player based raids is chosen instead.

[plush umbra]

if the world has the player-based raid setting on, you will get more advanced raids while you're on, but the owner won't.
if the world is on default settings, you won't affect it at all.

[night aspen]

Ah, so if i didn't change modifications it won't affect?

[latent wraith]

Exactly.

The default, like Winter said, is that the raids are based on what has been killed in that world.

[night aspen]

allrighty, thank u both

[plush umbra]

and it only tracks actual kills, not even the heads that hang at the sacrificial stones.
you could hang up moder's head in a world and as long as she hasn't actually been killed there, it won't change anything

[latent wraith]

Using the power will though, as far as I've understood it.

[plush umbra]

was that added with the world modifiers? because i'm pretty certain that wasn't the case at least before then.

[latent wraith]

Never mind, I was thinking that we were explaining player based raids now. I'm just confused. With default raids boss trophies and powers and stuff have no effect.

[plush umbra]

("deaths" rather. if a boss or enemy were to somehow die on its own, it would still advance the world.)

looks like that's talking about azu anticheat bypass, not the anticheat itself, but i could be wrong

quickly downloads to Xbox .... Explodes💥

[north umbra]

That thread is from a year ago, they are probably talking about when it used KeyManager, better discussion for #mods-discussion though

[night aspen]

When did they make the bosses harder? when i check youtube vids, they seem to be easier, atleast taking more dmg

[plush umbra]

Might be upgraded gear and higher skills

[night aspen]

it was same weapon and lvl as i use

third boss in swamps

[merry pebble]

are you sure they did not set the world modifiers on easier difficulty?

[frigid gust]

Are you sure they didn't have higher skill in the same weapon class, too? Skills aren't critical, but they can have effects like that.

[strange owl]

Bonemass is hella vulnerable to blunt dmg 🙂

[rustic compass]

is iron sledge any good?

[night aspen]

not 100% sure, but they just got combimation of iron/bronze gear, so i thought they might have even progress on skill as i do

[night aspen]

tbh, nope ^^; possible

[frigid gust]

Is it possible they are using an iron mace and you're using bronze? But yeah, there are lots of variables. And even every hit has a bit of variability in it, it's not a constant explicit DPS, it's an average DPS.

[night aspen]

hehe, i was using iron axe on my first try, then switched to iron mace, but they still seem to be faster. must be world mod then

[frigid gust]

There's also getting to the third hit in a combo vs not, the alternate attacks, all kinds of things can affect the overall time it takes

[merry pebble]

i don´t think there were any significant changes to boss difficulty 😄 so i would bet on different world modifiers

[night aspen]

yea, i didn't think about that

[frigid gust]

I think there might have been some years ago, but yeah, nothing recent that I'm aware of for sure

[fair cairn]

another name change, hmmm

[fair cairn]

punched to many drakes or what?

[muted hollow]

Iron Sledge is great to use during the bonemass fight. ||He spawns skeletons and stuff during the fight, and that's when you want to use it. It's a quick way to get rid of them.||

[rustic compass]

hmm

[merry pebble]

oh no, around a week ago i was streaming, i was in the mountains taming/breeding wolfs and drake decided to visit 😄 i shot him with draugr fang and expected him to die but he had the tiniest bit of health left and he came down to me for some reason so i ended him as a viking should (with a punch in the face) and since Hyper was watching he gave me the name 😄

[frigid gust]

If your jump skill is 30-35 or higher you can often jump on top of his altar and have a bit of a breather there. It's not totally safe, but you have a bit of time you can let stamina and health regen

[fair cairn]

nice
Asutru uses "viking Punch"
it was super effective!

[rustic compass]

hmm whats your opinion on spears? I kinda like em but almost everything is immune to pierce

[merry pebble]

not really super effective but was enough XD

[frigid gust]

I often use spears through the Meadows instead of bows, but I find the materials needed better used for other things in later biomes. I'll revisit them in the Mistlands sometimes, though. Bronze spears are ok, but atgeirs are just... better.

[fair cairn]

they are pretty fun
also, trolls are weak to them
and they are great for hunting birds

though i guess the harpoon is probably better since its like a auto return

[rustic compass]

ye thats the only time i use them in meadows/black forest trolls

[muted hollow]

I actually love spears. I used them all the way up until the plains. They were great for sniping things without using up arrows

[fair cairn]

my friend is exclusively using them in our game

hes gotten pretty good at hitting stuff from dozens of meters

[frigid gust]

They can be super useful for sure, but it's almost impossible to exclusively use them if you're solo

[muted hollow]

I find spears better to use if solo. Cuz if you can't handle taking damage, you can just keep walking away and throwing it

[frigid gust]

Abomination has entered the chat

[muted hollow]

Spear users have left the chat

[frigid gust]

They're definitely useful 😉 It's just very hard to main them, especially given the points in the game where major enemies are highly resistant to piercing damage. The Elder, Bonemass, Abominations, Golems... all kinds of things. Same reason I love to use an atgeir, but I can't use it exclusively. I think a mace is pretty much the only weapon type you can legitimately use as 100% main, and even then Abominations give you trouble until the Frostner. Maybe knives, since they split piercing and slashing.

[muted hollow]

Oh- I forgot, there's a simple way around the abomination issue if you main spear

Just kite them to a surtling spawner 😏

[strange arrow]

pointy stick bad

[frigid gust]

So many swamps with no fires... 😢

[frigid gust]

Ever parry an abomination when it's standing on a spawner fire? It's hilarious.

[muted hollow]

Yea, it's awesome. Love doing that

[azure yacht]

Elder is neutral to piercing

[frigid gust]

Is it? I knew it was weirdly neutral to blunt, but I thought it had resistances of some kind.

[rustic compass]

also I kinda wish tower shield were a bit better they just feel so underwhelming to use :/

[frigid gust]

Tower shields are one of those things better used in groups... pull the aggro to you, let your friends surround the enemies and do DPS

It would be nice if tower shield blocked damage filled up the stagger bar for enemies, though

[azure yacht]

Last time I used piercing on him it showed white numbers iirc.

And wiki also says he's neutral (to physical)

[strange arrow]

arrows and pillars

[rustic compass]

also I keep loosing comfort when im in my house it just keep flickering so I cant get the buff anyone has any ideas

[frigid gust]

Is the fire going out, smoking itself out? Are you near an area where you don't have proper roofing and walls within range?

[rustic compass]

im in a shack I call home

guess I built it wrong

[merry pebble]

well they are weak to any pierce dmg iirc 😄

[strange arrow]

make sure the fire is protected on all sides but the vertical, in which you need adequate venting

[thin fulcrum]

I dislike the melee animation of spears… but we have atgeirs so i get my spear fantasy from those

[strange arrow]

and cover from rain ofc

[thin fulcrum]

STABSTABSTAB

[rustic compass]

I put it below my house I guess thats wrong

[strange arrow]

that includes gaps under floorboards that wind can sweep under

[woven dagger]

is there a list somewhere of fun ideas for diffrent challange runs ? like no prtals / knives only / no bows ..etc ?

[azure yacht]

Seeing the elder get desintegrated by a pillar in one hit was surely terrifying

[frigid gust]

Just like IRL, fires need chimneys or a way to get rid of smoke. You can place the fire beside your house and still get benefit unless it's raining, and it just needs a single roof piece a few meters above it to shelter it from the rain. I will often build crack shacks with a fire outside the walls, or take down a wall of a reclaimed prebuilt house to put a fire just outside.

[strange arrow]

in this case i'd raise the ground slightly so it's above yr flooring, should fix it

[frigid gust]

You can drop a screenshot in #valheim-help or #screenshots if you want some specific advice 😉

[muted hollow]

Hmm... How do we find a server that's not about completion but about building and creating communities?

Check in #1024264966712340510 , or make your own. Valheim multiplayer is all community based, there are no official servers of any kind.

It's really designed around existing friend group play, it's not really designed to specifically form a new community around easily. Not to mention it's early access, and the base gameplay is still in major flux so that kind of thing is secondary to a lot of what the current focus is.

[muted hollow]

Yeaa. Just all my friends have stopped playing the game and I really just want to get on and build with other people who want design and create.

[errant forum]

bro ive had onions and turnips dissapear on me twice in completely different spots

[frozen void]

Could be mobs or underground stones

[frigid gust]

I've never had any crops just disappear, it's always been either an enemy attacking them, or they were growing too close to some kind of structure or each other. Or accidentally hitting them 😛 Obliterator and such.

[light moat]

Sometimes a cheeky shaman will come by and kill your crops, this has happened to me a few time lol

[frigid gust]

Poison attack through a wall. I have taken to making sure I have double walls or at least plenty of space between the crops (and livestock) and fences because of that. Especially if you're using the roundpole fence that they can see through.

[paper marsh]

shamen will poison attack structures and end up hurting you or your plants on the other side of the wall

[light moat]

Yep, exactly

Can confirm. Had many crops die due to shamans 😔

[rustic compass]

I built my shack near a creak and now in constantly getting assaulted by necks

[frigid gust]

You can drop a few campfires down by the creek where they are coming from and they won't spawn any more. They don't even have to stay lit.

[glacial kelp]

There’s also a pretty sweet trick where you put a vertical wooden beam down, place a standing torch next to it, and clip another wooden beam into the torch using the first beam. It prevents spawns as well as agro from mobs and looks pretty nice.

[light moat]

Now that is a fancy tip, thanks for sharing!

[regal spoke]

A rather bright idea indeed

[rapid bison]

I'm actually glad chests don't trigger raids, but can you spawn proof an area with them?

[smoky quarry]

When Troll mousepad again?

[winter condor]

i haven't played valheim since about the time mistlands was first released. does the game's framerate still suffer when you make grand bases?

[smoky quarry]

i can`t be seen without my troll mousepad

[exotic cradle]

It's better, but high instance numbers still slightly affect fps ^^

[winter condor]

thank you

[exotic cradle]

Old worlds are still affected I'd say, but new worlds not as much

[light canyon]

Azu creates a lot of amazing mods for Valheim. The post you are referencing was a mod someone else created to try and work around his mod which contained malware. It was removed from Thunderstore a year or so ago.

[limpid pewter]

can i play valheim with my friend after i mod it

[frigid gust]

Often not if your friend doesn't have the same mods. But that's a question for #mods-discussion

[limpid pewter]

ty

[frigid gust]

Also, please don't ask the same question on multiple channels. Generally considered bad form 🙂

[severe juniper]

Anyone know if there will be white marble coming? 🙂

[frigid gust]

Anybody that does is under an NDA and won't say 😉 Edit: I am not under an NDA, nor privy to that information 😛

[worn ledge]

I noticed that one of the possible standing stones in the mountains says something about ||being able to hear occasional sounds from the mountain tops like valkyries travelling between worlds or the cheers in the halls of Valhalla||, is this something that actually occurs or is this just a little flavor text?

[frigid gust]

Flavor text is all it is so far AFAIK

[worn ledge]

would be a great actual easter egg to add imo

[light moat]

Officially at 500 hours in Valheim. Gettin’ up there.

[plain bane]

Cleared out the rest of my first swamp and had slightly more than my newly-built longship could carry. Never been so nervous seeing leeches swim towards the thing while getting it out of the bay.

Spent about two hours processing it before work and not even half way done.

But it's home so can't complain

[hollow crag]

Relatable I was once sailing on a krave with the sealed tower treasure chest on it sailing through a swamp to get to the other side of an island to the trader and got attacked by a bunch of wraiths, and I lost the chest

[plain bane]

oof

[hollow crag]

The wraiths were very resistant to piercing so I had no choice but to go melee and I destroyed the boat

Setting up shop?

[plain bane]

I think silver arrows damage wraiths because of the spirit damage but I might be wrong

Like, making a base and gathering materials for the fight near the altar

[hollow crag]

Yea but I don't make silver arrows since I always low of silver

It's so hard to carry the silver down the mountains

[plain bane]

Apparently wraiths are weak to fire, too.

[hollow crag]

The arrows I had back then was needle and frost

Both was very resistant and immune

[plain bane]

Seems they take 1.5x damage from spirit and 0.5× damage from piercing. A silver arrow does 20 spirit and 52 pierce so you'd probably two-shot them.

Other than that beaching the boat and fighting on the ground is probably the only way to win there. 😬 Not a lot of room for melee on the deck of a karve.

I love the needle arrows. Like the cheapest ones to make.

[severe juniper]

[plush umbra]

there’s a channel you can post images btw

[woven kettle]

Cool thanks for backseat moderation.

[plush umbra]

It’s not moderation. I just figured you didn’t know since you posted a link instead

[woven kettle]

Because embedding in this channel is prohibited

You've tried to moderate me before, Just relax bud, I only use this channel . I am aware there is other channels.

[plush umbra]

Now you’re just making things up but ill make sure to never talk to you again

[sour thistle]

anybody know the reason why when playing this game on pc using a controller after awhile when you try to build anything when you select a specific build piece or anything it doesn't actually select and you have to end up using the mouse to click the building pieces,crafting,furniture etc

[woven kettle]

Cause using controller is a cardinal sin

[sour thistle]

it didn't use to do it only after the last few updates its happened

[woven kettle]

I didnt use to sin either, but then I turned 11...

[sour thistle]

alright kid

[odd marsh]

by the age of 18 i started to sin

[urban fulcrum]

What's the worst biome (in your opinion) and why is it the mountains

[woven kettle]

LOL

[odd marsh]

wonderland

[lunar sapphire]

Ah yes, the illusion of choice!

I am familiar

[urban fulcrum]

:)

[regal spoke]

I feel swamp is the worst. At least in terms of difficulty spike. The debuff of being in the environment is arguably worse than anywhere else

[urban fulcrum]

but at least swamp and iron tier is interesting, if hard

Mountains are just boring, and full of wolves

[odd marsh]

swamp is just pretty chil lfor me, i just love the weather..how do i say this... its......wet

[regal spoke]

But. They are gorgeous? Builds imo look better all snow capped as well.

[worn ledge]

I dreaded spending any amount of time in the swamp, the mountains are great

[regal spoke]

Moist

[odd marsh]

yes thats the correct word

[worn ledge]

The swamp is so dark and dingy all the time, the mountains are spectacular and bright often

[regal spoke]

Hehe

The view from up high too. Chefs kiss

[odd marsh]

you could just yeeet your metals down the mountain

[regal spoke]

Or go full goblin rock sled in a boat

[odd marsh]

like the true viking we are, riding it down the hill

[regal spoke]

I read something about vikings working as a team to, hike a boat across small patches of land to reach waterways

[lunar sapphire]

"man, this is really going down hill quickly"

[odd marsh]

yea me too, or maybe it was from a movie

[regal spoke]

Documentary? Yea I can't remember

[frozen void]

Carrying probably isnt as much as most people think. Either rolling or logs or lifting them over shallower parts in rivers

[odd marsh]

ahh found it, lol it was an anime, vinland saga xD. yea i dont even know how it would be possible for them to carry the boat

[frozen void]

I mean i remember being taught something about them carrying it while i was in school, as a norwegian

[regal spoke]

I never learned of these interesting bits of history until after school. Makes it that much better anyway

[odd marsh]

oh, so they did carry them. pure brute viking strength lol

[regal spoke]

How many sailors would typically be in a longship in order to pull off carrying a boat

[frozen void]

No idea lol

[regal spoke]

Np. Just thought perhaps you'd recall from school.

[plush umbra]

I’ve had to carry a boat through marshlands it was an interesting experience but it was also an aluminum boat so much lighter

[frozen void]

And much smaller i bet lol

[plush umbra]

14ft I think which is nothing compared to a longship

[frozen void]

Mostly i said i remembered it ftom school so ppl didnt think vinland saga was the true source lol

[plush umbra]

The smallest longships were still over 50 feet geez

I’ve moved 40 foot trusses and that was a pain. I can only imagine how much more painful it would be if it wasn’t just a flat web of lumber

[regal spoke]

Is the Vinland saga contested?

[frozen void]

?

[plush umbra]

It’s an anime so not always the most factual

[regal spoke]

Is it only an anime? I was under the impression by the term saga it was a written story. Forgive my ignorance

[plush umbra]

At this point trying to Google it I can’t find anything but the anime even searching “Vinland saga not anime” 😂

Google is just too flooded with the anime no matter what combination of keywords I use

[regal spoke]

I'll try to find something on it. I remember something about a viking who took a small band to Newfoundland

[frozen void]

Vinland is a settlement in canada that the vikings made. The manga vinland saga is loosely based on the story of those people

[plush umbra]

Newfoundland is just such a great name

What do you call this new land you found? Hmmm idk I’ll have to think on it

[frozen void]

Well, you see, at home we have york and jersey...

[regal spoke]

There was a group of Irish that settled up there too in the 1600s. They are still there. Interesting story.

[plush umbra]

.5 resource rate is so odd. A serpent with a max range of 8-9 can drop 5 scales on .5 but a 1 star troll has its 10 reduced to 4. And I get the logic there that since a no star only drops 2 it makes sense to double instead of making the star drop 5 but idk just had me interested enough to comment on. I’m sure we’ll see more of these cases

[regal spoke]

That is an interesting observation and definitely more on topic

[odd marsh]

yea in vinland saga theres a giant german dude that throws the spear stationary, a kilometer away piercing 3 dudes lol

[plush umbra]

He ate his wheaties that morning

[regal spoke]

Mushrooms?

[plush umbra]

Which kind?

[odd marsh]

nope no mushrooms, dude is just built different, even used a a whole tree as a weapon. waved goodbye with his 2 fingers still spewing blood

[lunar sapphire]

That didn't land as well considering where I am the joke is "Not enough Weetbix"

[plush umbra]

Might be time to give this new fishing a try now that we have troll heads piling up and we never have enough troll hide even with getting multiple troll raids an hour but to be fair 4 hide a troll raid isn’t great

[plush umbra]

What in the halibut is a weetbix

[snow jasper]

Vinland saga moment

[odd marsh]

whole grain wheat breakfast cereal, looks delicious if you ask me, and dry xD

[regal spoke]

I was going off history not knowing an anime existed

[plush umbra]

Do base structures mess up fish spawns? I imagine not since they’re a different kind of entity than creatures

[regal spoke]

I've left workbenches near fish traps that didn't seem to stop their activity. Albeit the traps don't work so well lol

[plush umbra]

I’m curious to see what they looked like lol

[regal spoke]

\_/ picture a bridge acrossed a waterway but it's semi submerged. Then use 26° roofs on either side to create a trough

[odd marsh]

hmmm i wonder if theres a better way to utilize the spawners

[regal spoke]

Like building an army by kiting groups out of range into holding cells. Then when a mass is assembled lure into another biome?

I think Archers would need to be weeded out

[odd marsh]

an army i see

i was thinking about an afk wood farm or stone LOL

[regal spoke]

Oh but that's already a thing

Dwarf spawners

[odd marsh]

yea seems like it

[regal spoke]

Spawners are also used for training xp/skill levels

[odd marsh]

well thats handy ima just turn it into an arena

[regal spoke]

Another episode of Gladiators

You gonna 1vX with every weapon for science?

[odd marsh]

yeep im gonna max everything

and yeet myself to fight the last boss

but first im gonna need to finish my todo list. hmmm lets see pulls out long ah list

[regal spoke]

Stamina management and dodge roll timing will go a long way

[odd marsh]

oh indeed, but first im gonna need to plant more

[regal spoke]

Got to raise the ||chickens||

[odd marsh]

<_<...... i dont even want to talk about my past 2 pair of ||chickens||

[plain bane]

Suppose you absolutely had to land a ship on an island surrounded by plains and swamp; which biome would you pick and how do you manage the locals not pleased with the giant wooden abomination parked on their lawn

[odd marsh]

lmao id pick swamp,

[odd helm]

Depends entirely on your gear tbh

[odd marsh]

and for the abomination xD cheese it with fire

[plain bane]

Right now it's moored at a tiny patch of black forest, but it's on the wrong side of the island to be useful.

gear
I'm rocking max level root gear and iron weapons.

I have fenris armor, but it's level 1.

[odd marsh]

oh root gear you should be fine in the swamp

[odd helm]

I'd risk it with plains then unless there's a fuling village nearby, deathsquitos won't hurt much with root chest~

[plain bane]

Mostly worried about leeches and draugr nibbling at the boat.

[odd helm]

Just don't stay around at night

[odd marsh]

yea becareful during night

free chains tho

[plain bane]

What changes at night in the plains? I pick berries at night there all the time and it seems almost empty

[odd helm]

Fuling patrols

And starred fulings

Pretty bad news if you're caught unprepared, and the torch guys will hurt bad with full root

[plain bane]

Ah. Rip. I can handle one or two no-stars but the starred fulings give me trouble at the moment.

Yeah parry playstyle in root against fire has not always gone in my favor...

[odd marsh]

good food always helps

[plain bane]

Using black soup, onion soup and sausage atm

[regal spoke]

Learning to juke an attack and counter is kinda viable. If not equally painful to master as the parry

[coral lion]

Yo guys,i wonder. Is nickrawcliffe the only one who done the vlaheim in reverse? Nobody done that ever since? Cuz that guy made it pre mistlands so 1 boss less.

[odd marsh]

i guess so

[coral lion]

Ok,thx.
Been thinking to try it now starting from mistlands and going all the way back.

[light moat]

Can’t help but notice that the stone golem has an incredibly high spawn rate. It’s the monster I see the most in the mountain biome, except for the drake haha

[odd marsh]

yea, i kill one, another one shakes the ground

[light moat]

These guys are everywhere! I don’t remember seeing them so much few years ago lol. But maybe now that Crystal has a use, they’re more common. Wish I could find more wolves 🤔

I wonder if there can only be so many in a given area. I’m wondering I manage to trap one, it’ll stop more from spawning.

[carmine quarry]

Wolves are limited to 3x in an area at a time during the day unless you get “you are being hunted”. Then it’s 6.

I think limit is also 6 at night: https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Wolf

[light moat]

Ahh that is good to know, thank you!

Looks like there is a limit to the number of stone golems in an area. Looks like trapping one is the way to go.

[hearty slate]

Oh damn, I came by to see if there was any news about the next bit update but it's only been about a week since a hack 💀

Glad it's all fixed now at least and that I missed that, but it sucks it happened for sure.

That may have been meant for general, oops.

[light moat]

No worries, welcome back!

[merry pebble]

Well the most recent info is first half of 2024 😄

[urban fulcrum]

You reckon Q2 is for PTB or full release?

[cosmic oak]

Anyone else notice ||the Abomination seems to be stunned by lightning|| which is quite understandable really

[odd marsh]

Really? I gotta test that out

[cosmic oak]

I have video evidence of what I mean

[rain flare]

Gotta love a classic Valheim ocean storm knocking out the power city wide 😞
Lovely start to our Wednesday

[gray nexus]

can u send me that xd i am quite interested

[fair cairn]

there were a few drops of water in the air yesterday and the power went out for an hour

[gray nexus]

i dunno 🤔 was it getting stunned

[cosmic oak]

Maybe I just never noticed that pause/shudder before 🤷‍♂️

Tried it again later and I was getting multiple hits in with no retaliation

[gray nexus]

weird

[cosmic oak]

Directly underneath and using secondary only if you want to replicate

[opal prairie]

Morning gjall.

[fair cairn]

hi

[gray nexus]

TIL the spawn blocking effect of workbenches etc is still a damn sphere

[exotic cradle]

as opposed to what

[opal prairie]

Cylinder that way you need to place a workbench somewhere and nothing in the air or under it can spawn, with a sphere you need to place a bunch above each other to spawn proof for drakes, bats and deathsquitos.

[gray nexus]

build radius

[exotic cradle]

i say bring em

[gray nexus]

not in my house you don't

[exotic cradle]

well no that's why I have 60+ workbenches

[gray nexus]

lmao

I placed my workbenches in a uniform grid but some are buried or in basements, this changes things a bit for me

[kindred bronze]

so the blocking-area is a sphere and the use-area is a cylinder? o.O

[gray nexus]

yeah

[kindred bronze]

Hm... explains a lot... 😄 I thought I would be smart to build nice towers around my property and place the workbenches on top (and out of sight)...

[gray nexus]

I usually bury them and add 1 or 2 upgrades to cover any gaps anyways

[odd marsh]

damn thistles and dandelions wont stop growing

[gray nexus]

yep, there's no way stop that. Dandelions I get, but thistles are quite useful to have in base

[odd marsh]

oh well guess ill take the glowing floor then lol

[gray nexus]

they'll always go down with the ground so you can kinda have a small basement with a magical thistle garden lol

[odd marsh]

lol the forbidden magic thistle xD, funny cause its only 1 lol

[fair cairn]

also i believe they would be burried using stone floor

[odd marsh]

i did that still glowed xD

[gray nexus]

unfortunate, if you wanna completely hide it, just dig a deep enough pit where it spawns and hide under floor

[fair cairn]

wellp
so
use the pickaxe on it once then put stone floor over it

[odd marsh]

ima do that xD and cover it with more floors

[fair cairn]

since the stone floor isnt flush with wood floor but sticks out more which is the reason i havent changed my flooring

its still wood and will remain wood untill a troll manages to destroy the entire base but the flooring

[gray nexus]

I always use stone floors for ground floor, coz most of my houses have a basement, they make it very easy to hide the edges

[fair cairn]

i had already build the base and then i got to iron age and unlocked stone
i didnt change it cause adding in stone floors would require me to raise the entire building by a few cm

[gray nexus]

true, I spend most of my time building so I kept expanding/redoing the base each time I unlocked stuff from next biome

[fair cairn]

after i had spend days on flattening and raising the place
and then hours on a shitty barn
i had no intention of tearing it all down just for stone floors

[rain flare]

Just dig out the floor a little bit

Should be easier than raising the roof (literally) 😉

[fair cairn]

that still requires most of my storage to be moved

also, the entire base is on a raised area and removing the ground below it would expose the sides to uneven terrain

[plush umbra]

Finally more news on the update , still to release date sadly

[torpid vapor]

I have a question. Is taming boars important or can I just ignore it?

[gray nexus]

your choice, it makes for a very easy source of food but if you wanna hunt you can, but usually it'll hard to gather enough just by hunting

[frozen void]

iirc mistlands didnt have a proper release date until public test was out

[opal prairie]

Can be ignored, it's just an easy source of food for you and for your wolves if you decide to tame them.

[gray nexus]

and leather scraps too

[torpid vapor]

Ok. Thanks

[hollow crag]

The new ashlands weapon actually looks so good am so hyped for it rn

It also seem like we getting new element added to the game

[gray nexus]

I was checking stuff and apparently, Artisan table seems to be the best spawn proofing method if you go by range alone. I thought it'll be 20m too like the wards but it's actually a 40m sphere 🤔

[light gyro]

Nice sword

[azure yacht]

Seems like they're adding that suggested feature of ||upgrades changing the weapon's appearance|| (although not in the exact same way it has been suggested)

[light gyro]

Finally

I always wanted that

[kindred bronze]

Oh, nice! Did they say something about more styles for the current weapon? You could choose the color of the wooden shield, would be great to choose the color of other items as well (e.g. the mage armor going blue or something like that)

[plush umbra]

Looking forward to mods implementing that as well

[frozen void]

are you sure that that's the blocking range? ward use range doesnt match player base range

[gray nexus]

yes, i am testing various things, I thought it'll be the same as the ward too, apparently it isn't

[frozen void]

interesting

[gray nexus]

and black forge doesn't increase it's radius regardless of level, that's quite inconsistent lol

[frozen void]

still, far from the most efficient way to do it lol

[azure yacht]

Nope. And they also explicitly stated that the ||Enchantments|| will only work for ashlands weapons

[frozen void]

kill moder for 5 table

[gray nexus]

i mean yeah, but gives some reason to kill moder again kinda, either way not efficient certainly

[azure yacht]

Everything official always work as foundations for mods to expand

They also said that due to that new mechanic, ashlands technically has the ||largest amount of weaponry in the game in comparison to other biomes||

It seems like the whole theme is surely all about ||warfare||

[plush umbra]

To Valhalla

[gray nexus]

o wait i might be wrong, this is interesting, i should check this further. it certain blocked spawns before but it isn't rn

[plush umbra]

[gray nexus]

nvm

it is blocking, i feel like i skipped time a bit too early

this game is confusing me now lmao

[empty fog]

new mechanic? what is the new mechanic

who i loss

[odd helm]

Walk n Talk vid in #news explains it further

[frozen void]

yeah but is it in the 20 meter range or 40 meter range?

[gray nexus]

it's weird, it blocks 40m but sometimes it doesn't. I'm using the respawning spawn points for surtling, maybe my method is flawed idk it works for everything else.

[frozen void]

you can spawn Spawner_Boar

it'll put out a one time boar spawn right in front of you

[gray nexus]

those are one time yes

[frozen void]

so if its covered it wont spawn, but do so if you remove it

[gray nexus]

i am using spawner_imp_respawn

[frozen void]

ah

[gray nexus]

so that i can just skiptime and don't have to evenly place them again and again

[frozen void]

i thought you meant you were using a geyser from the swamp

[gray nexus]

ah nah

now i can't recreate the situation where it was only blocking till 20 😂

it's blocking 40 now

[rustic compass]

decided to try deathless run, died to a falling tree

[gray nexus]

you aren't playing valheim if you don't die to a tree

[rustic compass]

ye but I was on my way to the swamps

well no matter meadows is the most fun part, no minning :)

[gray nexus]

true

[burnt glen]

I don't think I have ever died to a tree

[opal prairie]

You probably blocked the experience or you aint playing Valheim.

[burnt glen]

Haha, too traumatic so the brain just blocked it

[gray nexus]

idk when this is happening, but it certainly is happening sometimes where it'll only block till the 20m mark and other times it does till 40m 🤔

[regal spoke]

You looking at workbench range?

[modest topaz]

Is enshrouded any good? I don't think a game with a hand crafted world will have the replayability.

[gray nexus]

artisan table

but this gives me an idea, I should check if workbench upgrades have this inconsistency

[modest topaz]

Everyone's just gonna datamap it and reveal all the locations of anything and ruin exploration

[regal spoke]

Probably a general convo friend

[modest topaz]

Procedural generation is the only way to make a game interesting like they were pre-meta gaming

True

[errant forum]

Walk and talk and Elden ring trailer today sheeesh

[unreal pagoda]

Wow it seems like ashlands is very close to being done judging by this W&T. Neat!

[junior arch]

Is it normal that I can't find the mistlands region, is it very rare, or did I enter with a wrong version, I created the world last week, when did the mistlands arrive, and how do I know if there are mistlands in my world or not, there are 6 boss slots in the boss circle.

[plush umbra]

It’s there. It’s in every direction actually

If you want you can look up the seed on the world viewer and see everything

[junior arch]

how can I look

[plush umbra]

https://m.valheim-map.world/

Put your seed in there. You can see your seed when you go to open your world or if you’re in game there’s a command for it

Easier to just look when on the start world screen though imo

[gray nexus]

Yeah, artisan table is definitely 40m under normal circumstances, maybe the fly command was conflicting with something or me flying quickly or skipping time quickly messed something up. I restarted the game and redid the test and it blocked spawns until the 40m mark again.

[azure yacht]

They also said is the last one, that could imply it

[unreal pagoda]

Oh did they? I missed that thanks!

[azure yacht]

That might also mean they won't do more of those in general...

Some for DN when it's due would've been nice

However, they could do a Sail&Talk for ocean after they start working on it

[plush umbra]

That would be a sick teaser for a new boat

@vocal rivet is it by design that the fish pages don’t mention the chance at other drops when caught? It seems like only the overall fish page mentions you can get other things from catching them

[opal viper]

me bloqueo no entiendo por que?

[urban otter]

6. Please stick to English as this is an international server.

explains it

[azure yacht]

And who or what blocked you?

[rain flare]

Mistlands is in a strange oval shape around the land - mostly east and west with some bits just before you hit the deep north or the Ashlands in the south

[rain flare]

I would rather use a general map - no spoilers on terrain then that way 🙈

But to each there own 🥰
I just love the thrill of discovery 🤩

[light moat]

I noticed that as well, could be a sign that’s it getting pretty close. Obviously we don’t know for sure though. Jeez, gotta wrap up and catch up to the mistlands quick lol

[fast rock]

hey guys, i dont have time to watch the walk and talk 3 rn, is a new release date mentioned?

[light moat]

Nope, same as before

Sometime in the first half of this year 🙂

[craggy mason]

Root chestplate is such a blessing in plains

[merry pebble]

wait... the wisps come to the wisp fountain even in day when its raining?

[solid crown]

Yes. In the swamp they never stop coming.

[merry pebble]

well, good to have new information 😄

[mental hawk]

Welp, today I successfully convinced another friend to buy Valheim

Already the fourth person I've managed to bring to the tenth world, but they always stop playing after a while

[plush umbra]

It’s a tough game

[frozen void]

Wait, i just realized either this or the workbench/forge upgrades mean spawn can actually be spawn proofed!

[gray nexus]

with workbench upgrades it totally can

Workbench lvl 5 has a block radius, 36
Forge 7, 38

[frozen void]

Yeah. Thats actually really nice

[gray nexus]

yeah

[silver osprey]

So seekers and especially soldiers are stronk, gjalls are terrifying but fairly easy once you figure them out. Ticks are more of a nuisance than anything. Not really counting dvergr. Anyone kinda wish there was something aside from bugs to kill in mistlands

[frozen void]

Starred ticks arent fun. Get stunlocked to death if they dont get thrown off on first or second roll sometimes

[half dragon]

What I like about Valheim is the good blend of combat and building, and also preparations for combat. So few games do actual preparations for combat and instead just bring everything in your infinite inventory and never use any of the potions you've been carrying for last 100 hours

And the building system is also great.

[fair cairn]

like witcher where yous ave expensive ingrediants for big boss battles and then
just dont use any

[half dragon]

and just apply that infinite oil that gets applied automatically

[frozen void]

Yeah im often afraid of using consumables in games in case i need them later

[worn ledge]

Quick question, are the boss summons for Moder consumed?

[frozen void]

Yea

[worn ledge]

frig, so I better win the first time

[frozen void]

But they respawn where you got them from after 8 hours ingame iirc

[worn ledge]

ah, okay

[frozen void]

Bosses dont despawn

[worn ledge]

oh word I totally forgot

[rustic compass]

are flint arrows worth using instead of wooden ones

[wide zenith]

When update 😭

[candid basalt]

Birds, deer, boar use wood

Flint on greydwarves

[plush umbra]

If you’re using feathers for greydwarves you might as well use fire

[wide zenith]

I ended full game with wood arrows, few times

[plush umbra]

Flint for trolls, fire for greydwarves

[candid basalt]

Really it’s just more damage, you can use wood the whole game

[plush umbra]

You can one shot a greydwarf with wooden arrows using a finewood bow though

[frozen void]

Flint arrows are only worth it if you loot them from chests imo

[plush umbra]

Gathering flint is just so time consuming

I could see doing it for faster troll takedowns though

[candid basalt]

You don’t Hoover flint as you walk by like I do 🙂

[frozen void]

Not really no, plus i prefer to use feathers on better arrows and have them saved rather than on flint.

[plush umbra]

I rarely walk by flint to begin with 😂

[candid basalt]

I tend to skip bronze arrows

I use flint in swamp until the iron rolls in

[rustic compass]

ye metal arrows are eww

[plush umbra]

I might try some flint in the swamp tbh since I’m playing on very hard now but you can 2 shot a regular draugr with wooden arrows so I would be saving them for elites and stars

[candid basalt]

I wish we had exploding arrows. So I can be Rambo

[normal badger]

I'm surprised there's no better way of getting flint i.e. mining

it gets annoying sometimes

[naive depot]

question i have a chr stuck in a swamp tomb how can i get him out without cheating

[tribal dove]

die in there by breathing smoke. You'll spawn again in your bed. 😆

[plush umbra]

How’d he get stuck

[exotic cradle]

What kind of swamp tomb?

[naive depot]

he was mining iron and got killed by elite

[exotic cradle]

in a crypt? Like the dungeon? or outside

[naive depot]

inside

[light gyro]

Get a mighty hammer so you can whipe the all behind the iron

[candid basalt]

How are you stuck then?

[light gyro]

The dungeon

Dungeons are small so, it's hard to dodge the peeps at the doors

[exotic cradle]

Yes but there are also underground "crypts" outside in the swamps so I wanted specifics 😛

[naive depot]

have to go back which needs a boat then when imthere no armour and 3 grogers

[light gyro]

Is that a new update?

[naive depot]

stuck

[candid basalt]

So not stuck, just hard to get corpse

[light gyro]

You noob, you should have made portal before you dive there

[exotic cradle]

No old armor you can use? You can make a raft and go there, make some food with you, you'll be able to get your corpse and regen quickly and run outside

[light gyro]

How about you host and we help you regain your rights?

[candid basalt]

What?

[light gyro]

Wrong reply

[naive depot]

portal was just accross the water so portal was possible but getting the on land was alot of blobs and gregs and just to mant for a unarmed guy

many

[light gyro]

Sail beside the swamp not in swamp

[exotic cradle]

Just use your previous armor, make some poison pots if you can, it's gonna take a while but it's doable ^^

[naive depot]

it take ages

[light gyro]

Why not a root mask?

[exotic cradle]

My guy is naked at home, you think he will go fight an abo?

[naive depot]

i had bronze gear

no more left

[tribal dove]

Use Eikathyr forsaken and RUN like hell (or like Forest Gump). 👍

[light gyro]

Dude host your world and I'll help you out how about that?

[naive depot]

that be ok but its acheat

[light gyro]

Bad idea, tried it before

[light gyro]

Idk about that

[exotic cradle]

Mate calm down with the 'advice' lol, using Eikthyr and running is perfectly fine
