valheim-chat

[mystic gale]

well not really boring.. i just wanted to rty other stuff too

[hollow crag]

I actually didn't use bow as much when I started

Cuz I was like I hate fps and fk aiming

[paper roost]

one of the most fun in this game is killing them with meele weapons

[hollow crag]

But then I died a bunch and say to myself let's use the safer methods

[topaz grove]

I wish we had catapults.

[paper roost]

yeah, but its not a way to learn how fight each mob, but mb its just me being weird 😄

[hollow crag]

But even now that I am now bow main, I uses melee in most of the combat in open world and save my arrows for dungeons, and bosses

Frost cave infested mine? Arrows and ozze bombs are so good

Especially clearing the frost caves I remember sniping the uv with arrows 90% of the time

[plain bane]

The spear is frankly an embarrassment in this game. Historically the most op weapon and it can't find the broad side of a boar.

[plain bane]

We have them. They're called mountain golems.

[azure yacht]

All the "spears are thrash" statements lost relevance the moment that guy won the trials of the speedrun by using mostly spears

[paper roost]

i never said its bad, there is no such thing as playing valheim bad way as long as you enjoy it, i just said its not my style

[topaz grove]

I agree with marticka.

[hollow crag]

Yep

[topaz grove]

But meta is meta

[paper roost]

thats becouse spears are stupidly cheap compare to other weapons, as i said before

[hollow crag]

Meta in terms of speedruns, safety, or economic?

[topaz grove]

Dmg 😎

[paper roost]

really depends on what type of speedrun you wanna do

[hollow crag]

Well each enemy has a different weakness so you have to use different weapons for different scenarios

[paper roost]

thats a myth

[regal spoke]

Unless you go with the Atgeir "scrub gun"

[topaz grove]

Noob tube go “Thunk”

[plain bane]

A bunch of people swam the channel but pardon me for taking the tunnel.

[regal spoke]

That's so far in though

[plain bane]

Also this would imply the guitar hero controller is meta for beating dark souls because 'some guy did it tho'

[regal spoke]

You talking about the ||fire staff||?

[topaz grove]

😂😂😂😂

[lunar crypt]

Ashlands today?

[fair cairn]

ashlands is the day it is done

[rain flare]

No

[lunar crypt]

darn it

[rain flare]

Ashlands soon?
Yes 🤩🤩🤩

Expect before half way mark of this year 🥰

[lunar crypt]

yep yep

[rain flare]

Recent dev blogs be very promising 🥳

[lunar crypt]

yeaaaa I watched the last walk and talk which apparently concluded the series 😦 but nw, next step more valheim 😄

[rain flare]

NO NO NO NO NO 😂

Put that in #1024264966712340510 pls 😅😋

[fair cairn]

first of all
that should be in #1024264966712340510

[rain flare]

It looks so sus

I don’t like it 🙈🙈🙈

[fair cairn]

no

shoo
i dont like you anymore

go away

[balmy seal]

Stop spamming this crap

[rain flare]

We need the Smiffe smash on this please 😂

[frozen void]

it was handled

[lunar sapphire]

Subject no good?

😢

[frozen void]

no, it was a subjective opinion

[opal prairie]

<that'll_do_subject_that'll_do.gif>

[exotic cradle]

good? no.
best? ||yes||

[lunar sapphire]

https://tenor.com/view/blushing-gif-gif-14376605647912861462

[topaz grove]

Anyone ash laaaaandss

[frozen void]

We all do, but theyre mostly empty

[mystic gale]

I loved the part where valheim said: You really are the ash lands

[smoky quarry]

hopefully my eyescream will not melt there.

[odd marsh]

You know, i bet theres one dude here that people hire to build houses in valheim

[serene talon]

that would be

[odd marsh]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[rain flare]

Have you checked build screenshots recently?

There are a number of guys who qualify 😂

[odd marsh]

Ah welp ill take that as a No, there is no one here that hires builders. Instead theres a ton of builders xD

[cosmic oak]

Were you thinking aesthetic or survival base

[odd marsh]

More on aesthetics

Survival bases mmmm not so much

That would be like a fun hobby todo

Basically what an architect does LOL

[cosmic oak]

It's life and death tho

[smoky quarry]

and who mines the resourses?

[odd marsh]

I just realized the consequences xD

[languid root]

Weird question, does anyone know the exact rules of how necks and water lilies spawn in new artificial bodies of water?

I need it for my 'school project'

[gray nexus]

Water lilies, don't spawn like creatures. They're part of environment, you can use grass mode of cultivator to grow them kinda.

for neck, check this page out
https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Spawn_zones

[languid root]

Yea, i meant how game decides whether to make them or not

[smoky quarry]

its grass version for water

[gray nexus]

I don't think there's any way to force them to grow. If they were there before you removed them, they'll prolly be there after too but you'll only find them in shallow water.

[languid root]

I'm talking about new artificial body of water and how necks appear there after some time, even if before there was no any water

[gray nexus]

Check the page I sent

It'll follow the same rules

[languid root]

And why in some places water lilies can appear but in other they can't

[frozen void]

You just need to use the grass function on the cultivator, though it requires meadows i believe

[languid root]

I looked it through, not a word about necks require water around. Obly that they spawn during rain

[frozen void]

Neck spawn options

[gray nexus]

check altitude tab
"From −1.5 to 0.5 m"

[frozen void]

You of course will need it to not be spawn proofed

[languid root]

Right, my question is a bit more subtle. Why in some exact places of my new canal water lilies can be placed with cultivator, in other you can reapply cultivator 1000 times nothing will appear

[frozen void]

"Random" pattern most likely

[languid root]

Oh, ok. Thank you. Didn't notice thag

[frozen void]

So there will be variation

[smoky quarry]

to deep also

i worked hard for my lilies in my Suez Canal

[languid root]

So it's more like random then ig

[frozen void]

Yea

[gray nexus]

Just my speculation but I think the lily pads and a lot of stuff are kinda predetermined
For example like if you place a stone block in a location, no matter many times you break and snap a new one on that place, it'll always be the same variation of the stone block (ie the rough surface), unless my observations are wrong lol

[languid root]

This is interesting imo. I would like to understand the whole 'calculating' logic behind this

[gray nexus]

no idea sadly

[obtuse cloud]

is 683 iron a lot?

[ancient sigil]

depends on your needs

[merry pebble]

i would say its quite a nice amount 😄

[languid root]

Pretty much, but sure not enough to build a rocket to leave that world

[gray nexus]

if you don't build much then it's okay, if you do, not really

[ancient sigil]

I once mined longship full of iron, that was a fun trip to do lol

[merry pebble]

i had to make two trips with the iron from the swamp in my current playthrough, still have some of it and i am currently at the beginnings of conquering mistlands 😄

[ancient sigil]

Goodluck in your journey!

[obtuse cloud]

im not a builder, i dont have creativity when it comes to building stuff in games

[merry pebble]

same

[candid basalt]

Best way to become a builder is to build

And try things. You get all resources back, so play around

[obtuse cloud]

yeah in hammer mode

[gray nexus]

welps

[frozen void]

Ill take it off your hands then

[obtuse cloud]

lmao

[exotic cradle]

theres other things to do in my building simulator?

[candid basalt]

Yes, build more

[regal spoke]

I watched the recent walk n talk last night. I love how, I think it was Robin basically said, axes are sub par.

[exotic cradle]

I think he said people THINK axes are sub par

[languid root]

A true viking is not supposed to be a creative builder, more like a creative survivalist

[exotic cradle]

First of all how dare you

[regal spoke]

I was trying to decipher what he was saying.

[candid basalt]

If you were a better builder you’d have made it to Valhalla

[languid root]

Oh shoot i forgot about all those wonders of the world built by vikings, my bad

[regal spoke]

Every time I go full send on a build Odin shows up. I think you're spot on

[exotic cradle]

Tell me about a single thing built by a serpent

[candid basalt]

Yep I’ve only seen him while building

[languid root]

Strong relationships inside their community

[regal spoke]

Mic drop

[candid basalt]

Getting hot in here. Must be Ashlands on the way

[exotic cradle]

It's bantz

[languid root]

jealousy is a vice

[exotic cradle]

Yeah so stop it ❤️

[regal spoke]

That was pretty witty for being off the cuff though

[fervent hawk]

good afternoon vikings

[lyric olive]

Looking forward to exploring the swamp on sunday 😄

[merry pebble]

be sure to bring poison resistance mead 😄

[lyric olive]

Yeah I already made like 40 of that 😄

[merry pebble]

great

[lyric olive]

I hope my skeleton tower shield is good enough to block some of the damage

[merry pebble]

i am not sure if you want to be slowed down by the tower shield there, but if you are used to it why not 😄

[lyric olive]

I like the malee front line kind of play style

Except the abomination, I ran tf away from that

[candid basalt]

Prepare a crypt with something to let you get on it, and can stand on top of crypt and kill abominations

[distant citrus]

Hey all, quick question, are the tall stone pillars in the Plains unbreakable?

[candid basalt]

No

Great source of stone

[distant citrus]

Damn, so it might be unwise to build a base on top of it?

[candid basalt]

Just keep mad lox away from it should be fine

People build on em a lot

[distant citrus]

Ahh okay, and those little goblin bastards/deathsquito's won't randomly attack the structures either? (I hope)

[distant citrus]

I see, thank you a lot!

[candid basalt]

Just like walls, if they don’t detect you, they tend to ignore it

Skeeters will just fly up to get you anyway

[distant citrus]

Perfect, thank you!

[lyric olive]

I visited the plains once and died to a flying thing

I don't think you can outrun them

[candid basalt]

Parry and kill. They are glass cannons

[lyric olive]

I don't have parry skill yet, i have a skeleton shield tower

[candid basalt]

Hit them first then lol

[smoky quarry]

can`t wait to be able to sail all the way South

[languid root]

you veiled it pretty well, hope this is not some kind of a euphemism though

[plush umbra]

Start using dem round shields parrying is op

[fervent hawk]

I think it would be ideal to start using round shields especially when approaching the swamp. Parrying is incredibly important in this game, I think you will find out xD

I remember totally dominating the swamp with my bronze buckler and mace

[candid basalt]

If you can’t parry, dodge. If you can’t dodge, block. If you can’t block,

[paper roost]

there are few more options, but yes, i like this 🙂

[lyric olive]

Don't really want to grind for those weapons

[paper roost]

you parry enemies with shield, not a weapon most of the time

[candid basalt]

However, parrying with knives is neat

[fallen zephyr]

Knives Out!

[frigid gust]

Glass Onion!

[candid basalt]

Plant Onions!!🧅

[fallen zephyr]

Definitely plant onions. 'Salad' is one of the best foods in game in terms of return on investment. So much so, I suspect the developers are vegan.

[odd helm]

Honey glazed chicken tho

[fallen zephyr]

Delicious, but don't bring your health foods into the stam food hierarchy 😛

[languid root]

they're vampires. no garlic whatsoever

[odd helm]

Devs are just making sure you eat a balanced diet~

[fallen zephyr]

Oooh! A conspiracy theory I can get behind.

[frigid gust]

I've taken care of chickens, they can be classified as vegetables. They... are not smart.

[fallen zephyr]

I'm not sure your definition of vegetable is valid.

Unless you're making a horribly inappropriate joke about mentally challenged folk...

[candid basalt]

“Chicken’s not vegan?!” -Todd

[fallen zephyr]

Who's Todd? Is that Thor's son?

[candid basalt]

The Vegan bassist in Scott Pilgrim vs the World

[fallen zephyr]

Oh, yes, I recall. Sorry.

[languid root]

I thought todd howard and skyrim chicken

[candid basalt]

No those chickens are gods

[fallen zephyr]

Great film! I'm just tonight two-thirds of the way through re-watching the Cornetto trilogy.

[candid basalt]

The greater good

[fallen zephyr]

The greater good.

[latent wraith]

What's best of the greater good and the gooder great?

[fallen zephyr]

You know... my father-in-law does this - he asks questions he knows the answer to in order to continue the conversation. Look inside your heart, @latent wraith my friend; you know the answer. 😛

[candid basalt]

Listen to your heart, it’s calling to you… to log in and gather more stone

[fallen zephyr]

Does gathering more stone mean I'm collecting a... Rock Set?

[latent wraith]

Roxette?

[candid basalt]

Like the game you took the wind out of my sails

[frigid gust]

Socratic Method is tried and true 😉

[fallen zephyr]

What made you adopt the Socratic method?

[frigid gust]

Effectiveness 😛

[candid basalt]

They asked a question and answered it

[fallen zephyr]

Empirical support. I have no greater respect for an opinion than that.

You ruined my joke, though.

[frigid gust]

Naah, that's why I laughed at it. It was good 😉

[fallen zephyr]

Ok. Thank you. I'll take that.

[dreamy patrol]

anyone got room left in a server?

[candid basalt]

Would #1024264966712340510 be a better place to ask?

[fallen zephyr]

Damn! I just turned my last available room into a Man Cave. Sorry.

[dreamy patrol]

damn

[strange arrow]

i don't know where you're going, and i don't know whyyyyyyyy

[candid basalt]

Sing this when deer run into the ocean

[fallen zephyr]

Forgive the ignorance, but I just want to clarify - If I join a voice channel and share my screen, people can come watch my game without being in it, yes?

[odd helm]

Yes

[strange arrow]

wolves too, they are so funny they'll chase a deer and then just get kind of stuck out in the water

[fallen zephyr]

I love Valheim! There is so much fun stuff in this game. But, the AI is awful.

[strange arrow]

when you spend more time rescuing your guards than having them guarding:

[fallen zephyr]

There's also a ubiquitous trait that enemies tend to have in video games in that (if they're evil) they just unambiguously attack the player. I'm no game designer, but I would have thought that some 'intelligence' around player ability would inform enemy aggro. For example, would a Greyling really just flat-out try and kill me if I'm wearing Carapace armour and wielding Mistwalker?

[frigid gust]

The enemies we've seen so far are pretty much mindless beasts. Fulings and Dvergr are the only ones with any kind of possible intelligence.

We'll have to see how the AI works with smarter Ashlands enemies 😉

[fallen zephyr]

Yeh, I know. That's pretty much my point.

[strange arrow]

bad guys are upping their threat level

[candid basalt]

Greydwarves are spirits of murderers and thieves.

[fallen zephyr]

Greydwarves seem to me to be mentally challenged and equally enamoured with beating their skulls against stone walls as they are with throwing stones at anything that isn't a Greydwarf.

[candid basalt]

But yeah most games have poor npc “smarts”. “Look! The Dragonborn! Let’s mug em!”

[frigid gust]

"I just saw him kill a dragon with 3 arrows... I think I can take him"

[dry tiger]

That's not bad AI, that's bad writing.

[candid basalt]

Yeah, bad at writing AI

[fallen zephyr]

Skeleton Surprise is a case in point. Are they trying to ascend to some kind of afterlife? And why would any of them that haven't been forced to the front line be "tired of fighting"?

[strange arrow]

don't npc's outside towns already do that?

[dry tiger]

I love the skeleton surprise, it's just really funny.

[strange arrow]

makes no sense for law abiding citizens to be mugging anyone in broad daylight in the street manned by town guards

[candid basalt]

I’m confused

[strange arrow]

(although there are a few instances where even that happens)

[fallen zephyr]

Wait... you have a server with enough members to make some of them town guards?

[odd helm]

First half of this year

[oblique mist]

this what i wana to ask

[dry tiger]

Roughly when half-life 3 does, I think

[fallen zephyr]

The Google search requires less characters than you expended here.

[odd helm]

If you need a solid source, look at the pins of this channel

[candid basalt]

Mic drop by mod

[sharp coral]

imagine after completing the event game waits like 10 seconds and after it under every player on the server one abomination proceeds to get out of the ground under them (in any biome) and the game says: SURPRISE!!! then event music plays again

[oblique mist]

@odd helm where i can find mods ?

[odd helm]

#mods-discussion

[oblique mist]

thanks 🙌

[fallen zephyr]

Have you tried early 80s Britain? 😛

(Jesus, I've just dated myself).

[sharp coral]

umm, can i find some random servers where i can just join and play with people? or every one is just a password private serwer?

[odd helm]

All servers require a password to be created

[oblique mist]

@fallen zephyr no

[odd helm]

Feel free to browse in #1024264966712340510 and message the owner of the server you want to join

[fallen zephyr]

Regarding servers - I presume that anyone that joins an existing server is subject to the progression that anyone on that server has made?

[languid root]

How was that date btw?

[odd helm]

I believe there's a modifier now that allows raids to be determined per player instead of server progression, but otherwise yeah.

[strange arrow]

the mirror was fine survived the ordeal

[fallen zephyr]

The hair was big, the shoulders were padded, and neither of us spent any time on 'personal devices'.

[candid basalt]

Valheim 1980s overhaul when

[fallen zephyr]

Gets into a fight with a Greydwarf - "You fight like a dairy farmer" -- "SCREEEEE!"

[strange arrow]

insulted dairy farmers everywhere:

[candid basalt]

Monkey Island?!?

Wasnt that the 90s?

[fallen zephyr]

Most likely, but playing Pong with a Greydwarf seemed a difficult joke to make.

[strange arrow]

would've been way better, if you had pulled it off

[candid basalt]

I play golf with greylings, so….

[strange arrow]

two players with frostner playing pong with a grey

[candid basalt]

Wish the harpoon worked like bionic commando

[fallen zephyr]

I can't think fast enough for that after half a bottle of bourbon at 1:30am.

[strange arrow]

you used to be able to launch boars and players into space with it

too fun for valheim, so it got patched

[fallen zephyr]

That was a great game! I played it on the Amiga 500.

[candid basalt]

I remember.

Harpoon rubber band was amazing

Could launch a Viking across half the map

[strange arrow]

maybe we'll get it back as a fun only feature later

could easily be a modifier toggle somewhere

[fallen zephyr]

Tribes 'disc jump', anyone? 😛

[candid basalt]

I played the hell out of Tribes

[fallen zephyr]

Did you manage to find a reasonable way to take your computer case from one place to another?

[candid basalt]

I had a cable modem and would usually play on Diamond Multimedia hosted servers

[fallen zephyr]

My tower spent an unreasonable amount of time seat-belted into the passenger seat of my car.

[candid basalt]

Tribes on Valheim maps would be incredible

[fallen zephyr]

Oh ok, I'm probably ten years older than you.

[candid basalt]

1972

[serene talon]

does anyone know how the yggdrasil trees are called in the console?

[fallen zephyr]

I stand corrected. I'm three years younger.

[serene talon]

oh nvm i found it

[cunning lodge]

can i join im new so yea

[paper roost]

3 years here, 3 years there, at our age it doesnt matter 😄

[fallen zephyr]

I'd be appreciative if the next Valheim update allowed me to purchase a high-powered speed boat.

[unique onyx]

in a documentary i watched recently, thors axe was able to pull the boat through the something i looked away for a moment, perhaps we could have that?

[heady parcel]

Thor's axe?

[cyan tusk]

I'd be happy if there was simply a way to build oars, so that multiple players could help boats move faster. The boats have oar holes, and seats for rowers. Oars can't be that hard to build. Either that or let us build dvergr magic-powered outboard motors.

[heady parcel]

But we do have Moder's power, although I'll admit I have never used it. Forgetting to swap back and then not having Bonemass when I really need it...no thanks.

[heady parcel]

Isn't that intended though, due to it leaving solo players in the dust? I wouldn't mind though I solo most of the time.

Just let us enslave draugr and have them as oarsmen

[cyan tusk]

Maybe, but that's kind of like real life though? One-person boat is not going to go as fast as one with lots of oars-people? Not without favorable winds anyhow.

[heady parcel]

I agree, but I believe that is the reason it has not been implemented

[latent wraith]

But as Valheim is firstly a single payer game, things that specifically favour multiplayer (even more than what's unavoidable with how a lot of things in the game work) is not wanted.

[smoky quarry]

there will be mods of all kinds, especially once we have the whole full base game

and no more massive updates monthly to affect mods

[latent wraith]

There's probably mods that add faster multiplayer boating.

[heady parcel]

This is why I like the enslaved draugr thought. Extra bonus if they could defend the boat from marauding greys

[cyan tusk]

They said Far North is coming after Ashlands. So it looks like the game won't be out of early access until 2025?

[latent wraith]

Probably not.

[dry tiger]

Dev said recently that they're not sure if they're doing Far North first, oceans first or both at the same time.

[latent wraith]

There's one full biome, and ocean stuff, and probably some balancing and overall tweaking and whatever else they feel like doing left.

[heady parcel]

If the Far North is planned to be a fully fleshed out biome then yeah, most likely

[smoky quarry]

thought oceans was a maybe

[cyan tusk]

And that's assuming there isn't some unknown final area that needs to be done. I remember a comment that the big tree in the sky (Yddgrisil or however it's spelled) would play a part in the end game. So I am half expecting some kind of final boss fight or something up there in the end.

[heady parcel]

Oceans won't get a major update like an actual biome

[smoky quarry]

a balistae in front of my boat tyvm

[dry tiger]

Couple more monsters and maybe another resource and I'm happy with the oceans.

[smoky quarry]

gjall surprise attacks while at sea

[heady parcel]

Just let me attach the harpoon to the boat ..

[smoky quarry]

extra fast gjalls

[cyan tusk]

Some big crab thing that latches on and crawls up on to the deck of your boat while you're sailing

[dry tiger]

Giant squid

Frost giant in the north?

[cyan tusk]

Draugr boats

[smoky quarry]

a kraken that eats you, the ship, and everything is lost forever

unless you drop in a couple of bukeperries to escape

[cyan tusk]

It's probably just me, but I wish they would beautiful the oceans a little more. Kelp. Maybe jellyfish (moon jellies, common in northern oceans), and they glow which is cool. Starfish in shallower ocean water.

[smoky quarry]

get spat out by kraken, together with a new yukky resource, kraken saliva

you make Odins brew with that

[cyan tusk]

There really does need to be some kraken type thing

[vocal rivet]

There does?

[twilit ermine]

She val my heim till I bonemass

[fallen zephyr]

I agree with @cyan tusk. Having an arbalest makes serpents trivial. There are layers upon layers of progressively harder land mobs, but serpents are the only enemy in the water. Let's correct that.

[candid basalt]

Sharks with friggin laser beams

[merry pebble]

if you want to join someone you can look into #1024264966712340510 😄

[cyan tusk]

The kraken itself is Scandinavian. Usually a squid-like creature, but could also be a giant crab.

There is the hafgufa, which is a norse creature of legend. It is described as the norse kraken, though it is also described as being like a whale. A creature large enough to swallow ships.

Lyngbakr is another whale-like monster.

[whole osprey]

We encounter a Troll in the black forest and it was nighttime so we decided to flee. Then we met another troll so we find ourselves 2 sided so we ran west to meet a third one. Shamans and brutes incorporated. Well in that area of the forest, there are no more trees nor rocks anymore.😆

[merry pebble]

Free resources, YAY!!! 😄

[candid basalt]

Troll Brothers Landscaping at your service!

[whole osprey]

lol we came back with 2 carts and we where full inventory 😂

[candid basalt]

Convert wood and stone to piles, cart everything else out, then come back for piles

[whole osprey]

I do thin wile mining the copper and silver

+5k hours is +5 k hours. I provide tips. 🙂

[old smelt]

is there a command to flatten land in a specific area cause even in creative using a hoe is taking years

[formal kraken]

You need to learn to discipline your hoe.

[whole osprey]

infinite hammer tool can perform this but its a mod.

[paper marsh]

I think I remember something about spawning in a grounded merchant ship which spawns in an area of flat land around it but not too sure about it

[night aspen]

Is it known how much res you get from Bonemass buff?

[paper marsh]

In game tooltips and experience tells me 50%, but according to Wiki and other players I hear it really is a scale of 50-75% depending on your armor value. Although I'm not sure entirely how that works

[night aspen]

My mate gets black screen sometimes, but he can still move. Its just Valheim. Anyone know this issue?

[regal spoke]

Loose connection at monitor, monitor temp, something with gpu. Intermittent problems are curious to troubleshoot

[blazing grotto]

what is the new update?

[worn ledge]

Ashlands

[frozen void]

Probably not for a few months though

[regal spoke]

Long enough to finish a hardcore play through 😉

[gray nexus]

The wiki is kinda confusing in its wording, the actual resistance effect is a 0.5 multiplier. The 50-75% from what I can tell is the reduction compared to when you don't have the resistance.

[worn ledge]

I just loaded 11 copper into a smelter somehow

[gray nexus]

For example, for 100 dmg, 50 armor, without resistance you take 50 damage. With resistance, you take 12.5 (theoretically).
That's a 75% reduction comparatively.

[paper marsh]

How does a .5 multiplier reduce damage by 75%?

[frozen void]

Can happen with multiplayer

[merry pebble]

server lag probably, i played on server where wasn´t unusual to put in 13-15 😄

[night aspen]

Nah, nothing such a thing. Couse its really just about Valheim, he can still close the game and restart. Its just a Valheim Game issue, since it doesn't happen to any other high graphics games. We're on same LAN connection, if its about connection i should ve experience the same.

[paper marsh]

Ahhh so like key distinction is that usually armor value gets less efficient with more damage blocked but with resistance it allows you to take the damage off with armor first and then applies the resistance, but the resistance reduces damage by 50% of the ORIGINAL damage instead of the amount armor reduced it to?

Does sound a bit complex but just trying to understand

[gray nexus]

No no, the resistance is applied first

[paper marsh]

Hmm then it just sounds to me like resistance is taking 50% off and any other damage reduction has no connection to your buff. It’s just the armor reduction you always get?

[gray nexus]

`Well technically speaking, your armor prolly blocks less damage with resistance on, than without it.

The 50%-75% is a comparison between the final damage values for the same armor.

For armor < dmg/2, final damage is dmg-armor
For armor >= dmg/2, final damage is dmgdmg / (4armor)

So, like for 100 dmg + 50 armor
Without resistance it's simply 50, with 50 blocked by armor

With resistance, it's 12.5, first 1000.5 due to resistance resulting in 50
Then, 5050/(4*50) resulting in 12.5, with armor blocking 37.5

The range in question is not a comparison to the original damage, just a comparison to what you would have taken without the resistance.

Take a different example of 100 dmg, 25 armor

No resistance = 75
Resistance = 25

An extra reduction of 66.6% here.`

Too lazy to escape the *

But honestly it is as you say, the resistance will block 50% by itself, regardless

[rare birch]

I am taming an army of 2 star wolves close to Yagluth. Also clearing out all the camps and tar pits near by

[gray nexus]

Don't forget to place campfires around the pits, the growths respawn even if u drain them

[rare birch]

For sure doing that. This is the way.

[gray nexus]

I went outside my base after so many days of building today

To collect tar for building more

[rare birch]

There are 2 camps and 3 tar pits right close. I hope 50 wolves will be enough. I am not much of a builder so I always clear the pits and place fires all around. Growths are a pain

[hollow wing]

finding these mistland crypts is no fun

the worst part is most have been very small mistlands and i have to sail and sail

[gray nexus]

The growths aren't that reliable as tar source anyways. Mine aren't spawn proofed because I forget to spawn proof

[rare birch]

I always spawn proof them. I am close to taking on Yagluth

[paper marsh]

I think I c. Interesting

[gray nexus]

I would definitely spawn proof the ones around yagluth, no doubt about that

[rare birch]

I plan on bringing 30 to 50 wolves. Should be enough

[frozen token]

does "parry bonus" refer to getting extra block armour on a parry?

[azure yacht]

Yes

[cosmic oak]

Can I ask how come wolves and not ||Lox||

[paper marsh]

Lox don't follow you and don't have stars, likely

[cosmic oak]

In which case it took 20

[cosmic oak]

Hmmm 🤔

[paper marsh]

I'm not much one for cheesing bosses tho

[rare birch]

It's easier to get wolves to follow me.

[rare birch]

I mean solo I don't see it as cheesing. I am using what is provided and it takes some work and time to tame all these wolves

[cosmic oak]

I bred them free range on site

[rare birch]

I could do that for sure. Just going with the wolves. Thought about using both but i think the wolves will be enough

[cosmic oak]

Not much different to using them for defence

[regal spoke]

Even on hardcore settings? Would it be cheesing or utilizing every asset available

[paper marsh]

Wolves will follow you to your next target tho

[paper marsh]

for me cheesing. Not judging others decisions tho

Just not much for getting a flock of wolves or lox so I don't have to use my skill to do anything but just watch them play the game for me.

Or using a bow to shoot down every melee enemy while standing somewhere they can't path to (or just using bow in general, it's kinda busted. But not too bad unless used excessively)

Or constantly spinning with an atgeir

Or creating Earth walls to prevent enemies from getting to your base (that one I have caved in to on our current run tho, those raids every 20 minutes get a bit annoying especially without using a bow heh)

But it's all up to the player 😄
I just like to set a lot of challenges for myself to go the more difficult route

When I make my own base though I'll try and make it without earthwalls/moats

[cosmic oak]

All the playstyles have difficulties

[rare birch]

Thats why I love this game. So many ways to play. Next play through I can totally do it in a different style. Best 20 bucks I ever spent.

[paper marsh]

I definitely do like trying to use different weapons throughout the playthrough. It's a lot of fun to switch it up

Regrettably I've been using like all spears on this run so far bc it's rough out here without a bow

[formal kraken]

Spears 🤜 🤛

[cosmic oak]

Next play through I want to survive on hand punched Neck

[formal kraken]

I can't get into two handed swords, axes, hammers, etc. Atgeirs rock, but the other two handeds are rather disappointing.

[paper marsh]

yea two handed isn't really my style either. I am considering picking up a battleaxe for dealing with raids though bc I have max raid frequency on. Not having damage split between mobs sounds nice

[formal kraken]

Watching people who can competantly use those weapons is awkward. The animation and attack speeds are so slow and the animation cancelling is so clunky looking. Can't bring myself to mastering them, so they are decorations now.

[paper marsh]

My stand on battleaxe will probably also depend on how good it is at staggering and knocking enemies back. Because if it doesn't do much of that I'm dead using it. But if it does some good stagger it might be superior to trying to take on 5 enemies with a one handed melee weapon

[rustic compass]

do you people prefer root mask in the swamps (besides the boss) or actually making antipoison pots? or the third option just tanking poison damage

[vocal rivet]

Root mask is far more efficient once you have the mats for it.

[paper marsh]

Definitely not tanking poison damage. I need that resistance (especially on Very Hard). Getting roots for root mask is a bit much trouble, and the mask only gives 50% resist which isn't great. Poison pots gives 75% resist and is super easy to make so that's my go to

I wish the mask was more useful but to me it isn't

[rare birch]

I do pots. Once I am further along though I just don't worry either way

[rustic compass]

oh didnt even consider cranked up difficulty I was more orianted on normal haha

[rare birch]

I think I am ready for Yagluth. I am a bit drunk though

[rustic compass]

the hardest boss imo

I struggles with yagluth a lot more than I did with the queen

[paper marsh]

Yea I agree Yagluth is the hardest

[rare birch]

I am debating. Go to sleep or just do it now

[regal spoke]

Probably sober is optimal

[rare birch]

True but it could be wild lol

[merry pebble]

nah, queen harder 😄

[regal spoke]

You know you best. If your good to process it all. Send it

The good bois will carry the fight mostly anyway

[paper marsh]

I’d say depends on approach. With the ||magic|| approach and setting up ||wisp torches|| she’s not bad

[merry pebble]

Well i didn't try magic on her yet, will do that this playthrough probably 😄

[paper roost]

hi guys

[paper roost]

i would say queen is harder as well, especially since magic is no option for me 🙂

[agile hearth]

valheim is THE game

[paper marsh]

Wait so she’s harder in general or she’s only harder without magic?

[rare birch]

Got it done and I have like a ton of wolf meat now

[regal spoke]

Congrats and a moment of silence for the good bois. How many were lost

[frigid gust]

https://tenor.com/view/thanos-infinity-war-gamora-marvel-what-did-it-cost-gif-17159322

[regal spoke]

🐺 😭

[rare birch]

probably 30

[regal spoke]

o7 and they were 2*

[worn ledge]

is there a normal boss summon area for yagluth?

[paper roost]

i would say in general, since you cant beat her as fast as yag

[paper roost]

what do u mean?

[paper marsh]

Yea. The fingers of a big stone hand coming out of the ground is what it looks like. And then in the middle of it you can sacrifice fuling totems to summon him

[paper marsh]

Hmm I’d rate difficulty based on how hard it is to complete rather than time to complete but yea yag should be faster

[worn ledge]

Thank you

[paper marsh]

I think I just find the tools available to deal with queen superior and her attacks are easier to dodge. Tbh I haven’t fought either in a while tho

[worn ledge]

I was wondering if it appeared on the map and functioned like all other boss spawners or if it was hidden or something

[frozen void]

its just hard to find vegvisirs

[paper marsh]

The vegvisirs (red stones showing boss location) for him are pretty rare but when you see Stonehenge like structures there’s a chance for the vegvisir to be there

[paper roost]

yeah, you can find vegvesirs, but most probably you find the location first

[paper roost]

she is summoning minions, thats what makes it slightly more difficult than yag

[paper marsh]

Having done queen with both magic and melee I’d say she’s worse with melee but easier with magic. 2 seekers take like a couple fireballs to get rid of quickly, lil ones takes 1.

I guess Yag can have minions too which are more unpredictable but that’s easily thwarted by prepping the area beforehand

[paper roost]

yeah, i think we can agree there is no big difference in difficulty on those 2

[paper marsh]

Throwing difficulties in here I am slightly concerned about Yag on very hard. But will likely be using shield bubble against queen which won’t be so dangerous since I can tank any hit no matter how much difficulty ups her damage

[paper roost]

have you fight yag on hard yet?

[paper marsh]

Nope

[paper roost]

than you should be concerned, yeah 😄

i havent fight last 3 bosses on very hard yet, but even on hard it was solid difference

[paper marsh]

Yea. I fought Moder on hard, she was tougher than expected and I usually find her a cakewalk

[paper roost]

yep

[paper marsh]

I plan on rocking mistlands food for yag. Prob won’t be too bad either bc I’m now playing on a server so gonna have some backup. But I’m also running a solo very hard world so we’ll see which one I fight him on first

[paper roost]

last time i fought those in a group as well, the speed between attacks was sometimes frustrating

the food difference means almost nothing, if you get hit, you die 😄

[paper marsh]

But at least stamina could help a bit

[paper roost]

yeah extra stamina is always handy

[paper marsh]

That’s why he scares me more than Queen

Anyways looks like he does like 200 damage on a meteor hit (if you have fire res). With good health, okay armor, and a health potion against fire tick that seems easily manageable as long as you don’t keep getting hit

[paper roost]

yes, but he isnt dealing only fire damage if i remember well

[paper marsh]

No but

240 fire damage (with resist, 120) and 80 blunt. So 120+80 = 200. And that seems to be the most dangerous attack

[paper roost]

yeah

[paper marsh]

Ofc could be reduced further with bonemass but I’ll prob be rocking eikthyr

Just being able to survive a oneshot is nice. Although the plan is to not get hit 😅

[paper roost]

the biggest difference is he wont give you a break between attacks, he just keep attacking 😄

with the queen its she doesnt hit that hard and as you said, her attacks are easier to dodge, but the minions causing much more troubles there

[paper marsh]

Don't try and scare me into dealing with him with a bit of magic bc you might convince me 😭

But I think I'll be able to take him just gotta be super well prepared

[paper roost]

i have no idea how it is on very hard, we will see in couple of weeks

[paper marsh]

And with queen the damage she does do I'll prob negate with bubble shield as well

[paper roost]

yeah, you could, sure thing. i m not using any staff at least till the a comes out

[paper marsh]

very fair

[paper roost]

in the groups it makes sense, since there is possibility of lag and everything hits even harder

[kind pelican]

You can skip yag until you get staff of ice then machine gun spray his ass

[paper marsh]

yea thought of it but it's not as fun a way of dealing with him and I'm not sure whether the risk of getting ganked by 2 shot seekers or by a 2 shot yag is more dangerous

[paper roost]

searching for dungeons in the mist on very hard without light- big NO thx 😄

[paper marsh]

I wanted to ban magic bc it feels cheesy but it is so fun to use I do want to play it. Especially because I haven't explored it too far in the past

I'm planning on mainly going hybrid though with like 1/1/1 H/S/E to get a balance though

[paper roost]

yeah, agree about that. if they would decrease the fire staff and bubble strenght, would be perfectly fine for me too, its just too op as it is now

[paper marsh]

Eh I'd say it does have some fundamental cheese (similar to bow) even with lower values, and that would be tough to change. But it does have quite OP killing times right now and I would welcome some nerfing

I'd nerf the ice staff too though, just not as much as fire staff. Especially could use a nerf to prevent it from being too good in ashlands as well

[paper roost]

i dont think it would be that hard, decrease the blunt damage would do the job, or increase the cost of fireball. same with bubble, decrease time, or increase the cost

[kind pelican]

Mistlands is easy if you zoom in all the way and stay in the valleys

1stars are basically guaranteed to spawn at night so id just avoid exploring then

Infested mines are immensely more easy if you cheese with sledge, ooze bombs and bonemass power

[paper marsh]

two issues one that sounds more like normal mode than Very Hard, 2nd of all I'm lactose intolerant and can't have much cheese

[paper roost]

i agree, except on very hard difficulty the chance of star enemies is quite significant during the day as well

[paper marsh]

yea 480 damage seekers go brrrr

[paper roost]

about the last part, cheese is the key word, why would i increase combat difficulty and than cheese enemies?

[kind pelican]

Can you even parry that damage at that point

[paper roost]

nope

[kind pelican]

480 for 2 star or just normal?

[paper marsh]

exactly why I've banned atgeir and bow on this run. But magic sounds too fun to completely pass up

[kind pelican]

You'd have to like roll everytime

[paper marsh]

2 star

Starred enemies are pretty impossible to parry and same for most brutes (golem, troll, etc.). Regular enemies are alright

[paper roost]

you can parry nonstar enemies, but stars are out of options

[kind pelican]

I walk around seekers in circles since their attacks are kind of linear

[paper marsh]

could be tough though if one or two hits is death and you can't see much

Plus I'm playing on no map and hardcore death penalty so dying and losing everything or getting lost in the mist are concerns

[paper roost]

yeah, its good option, but on very hard they are also 20% faster, so without possibilty to see its not a joke

[kind pelican]

Yeah at that point 3x hp, tank armor and potions on hotkeys are mandatory

Wdym 20% faster, they're faster too on hard diff?

[paper roost]

10% on hard

the difference is very good balanced, devs made a great job on those settings

[paper roost]

yeah, you dont have guiding points even with wisp light on, nor without 🙂

[paper marsh]

Once I get wisps at least I can make wisp torch paths

[paper marsh]

my only gripe is that parrying is a bit tooooo rough

I'll say though at first Very Hard felt very unbalanced to me but after taking some time on Hard and then upgrading to Very Hard I've started to learn the moves, strats, and progression skips necessary to have a good time and not die

[paper marsh]

In dungeons that's pretty good. Above ground though I'm not sure I'd wanna strand myself with no stamina as several starred enemies close in. Even with that stuff on you're gonna end up dying in a few hits

I'll say though plains swamp and mistlands are pretty mangeable with a root chest. Basically downgrades all the most dangerous/annoying enemies to normal difficulty damage

[paper roost]

yes, same. its very hard difficulty, you should feel that way 🙂

[paper marsh]

I'll say 3x hp food and sometimes skipping ahead a biome for food progression let's you succeed on some otherwise dicey parries

[rotund dust]

On very hard, im too scared to try parry anything 😂

[paper roost]

yeah, cant blame you about that, but i m crazy, have to try all the pain 😄

[rotund dust]

Permadeath/Very Hard changes the mindset a bit tho

[paper roost]

yeah, thats why i dont play permadeath

[kind pelican]

Maybe spend an hour at elder leveling up block

[paper roost]

anyway, i m off, hf guys

[worn ledge]

if you drain a tar pit, with growths still spawn there?

[bright rock]

Vanilla -> hard -> Cheesy

[paper marsh]

Man I love permadeath. Although right now I’m playing hardcore bc there’s some other tough settings and it feels like a relief

[rotund dust]

Yeah, im a big fan of it too, although, after playing alot of WoW lately, and coming back to a fresh permadeath start, i feel so rusty

[paper marsh]

I’ve had a lot of ended permadeath runs but got a good very hard permadeath run past Moder now

[rotund dust]

I spent 6 hours gathering materials to build a base/building, to them fall out the 3rd story of my house with no food on 😂

[candid basalt]

This is the way

[paper marsh]

Had to put it on pause to play a server with friends and the all the worst world modifiers

[paper marsh]

Always eat 😭

[urban fulcrum]

i once, in very hard

got hid by a gobbo for 400 damage

[paper marsh]

They stagger you?

Because otherwise their damage doesn’t go above 360

[urban fulcrum]

1. i was in silver armor
2. i think so
3. it was a 2 star

i kinda just stopped upgrading my armor past tiering up, since it doesn't matter if they hit like, 300 damage or 5 million

[paper marsh]

Yea sometimes armor doesn’t matter much. But against non starred enemies you can often tank a hit or two

I like the mobility of light armors to help avoid attacks sometimes over trying to tank them

[urban fulcrum]

yeah same

[glossy socket]

I really like that they're (per latest steam release) ||using stones to give weapons enhancements||, this is a very myth type of handling for it, using something so in line with legends makes me happy.

[paper marsh]

It’s become pretty popular in games and movies too

[urban fulcrum]

and yknow

the jewelcrafting mod :)

[paper marsh]

I don’t know

[covert fox]

Ashland released or not ?

[urban fulcrum]

estimated a month for ptb, a bit over for full release

Def confirmed for the first half of the year so anywhere from next month to june

[covert fox]

Kk

[urban fulcrum]

PTB is for early testing, so it'll be buggy, and idk if consoles can do it so

[cosmic oak]

The real question for me is when to leave the server to avoid Ashlands spoilers

[rain flare]

Too late for that 😂

So many spoilers in news 🙈

[paper marsh]

Prob a year ago

[bright rock]

Don’t dev posts on steam also spoiler Ashland from time to time

[paper marsh]

Ye steam and YouTube I believe

[urban fulcrum]

Thankfully if you don’t read too much, the thumbnails don’t say anything

[ruby ingot]

yo, does anyone have any modpacks theyd recommend for my first time modding the game?

[uncut spruce]

anyone have experience with warfare mod?

i just unlocked bunch of crossbows but cant craft any

[near furnace]

Steam dev blogs yes

[agile canopy]

I am very exited for the Ashlands update. Did they say something about the release date?

[near furnace]

Nope.
First half of 2024

[balmy seal]

When do you anticipate the game will be completed? 2025?

[opal prairie]

Morning gjall!

[balmy seal]

Pizza for breakfast?

[opal prairie]

Nope, but we'll have a pizza-buffet for lunch at work.

[normal badger]

can i change back the difficulty slider once a world is made?

[fair cairn]

pretty sure you can change most settings on a existing world

i know for a fact you can change the resource multiplyer anytime you want

im not 100% sure on the other sliders but i believe you can change them anytime you want

[rotund forge]

Has anyone seen a friendly greydwarf？There’s a friendly greydwarf swapped around my house😳

I’m not sure what happened…just came out one day

[merry pebble]

are you playing solo or with some friends?

[rotund forge]

Solo

[merry pebble]

then i really don´t know what happened, you are not able to tame greydwrafs withoud mods

[rotund forge]

Xbox might not do that.. looks strange

[frozen jewel]

can you grow carots turnips and onions on the mountain?

[kind pelican]

No

[rain flare]

You can grow nothing on the mountains other than icicles 😂

Mistlands foods only grow in mistlands, plains foods only grown in the plains, Black Forest, swamps, and mountains foods grown in plains, Black Forest, and meadows

[exotic cradle]

Ah nvm I see the chat, I think that's just a bug that happens very rarely

[unreal basin]

Hi all

[opal prairie]

Hello there.

[frigid galleon]

Hello everyone! I was wondering what are you doing when you get bored in valheim, to make it less boring and interesting again?

[exotic cradle]

Simple, we go again.

[heady parcel]

A few ways, although honestly I never really get bored. Occasionally another game takes over my time for a while, but I tend to come back to Valheim sooner or later. But some things that can shake it up a bit:

• New world, with new character
• World modifiers. Best addition evah!
• Personal mini-challenges. Like beating the game not using a specific weapon, no portals/no map modifier, not touching the ground, pacifist challenge (there's a youtube video...) etc etc.

[violet comet]

Greydwarves are scared of fire so if they’re in the base they’ll just be wandering around actively trying to get away from the fire so they won’t attack

[heady parcel]

Personally, in my current playthrough I've decided to explore the entire world - not going to leave a single speck of map fog (other than Ashlands and Far North of course until they are released.)

[odd marsh]

Hmmmmm I shoukd start progressing aswell, im just planting atm filling up every finewood chest with 1 kind of food xD like carrots 1 chesr xD

[fervent hawk]

wow, that is pretty ambitious ahaha

takes some patience definitelym, I'd like to do that but I don't know if I have the will to do so xD

[heady parcel]

Mistlands will be a nightmare, has so much landmass and moving long distances in mistlands is generally unhealthy. Pocket portal ftw...

[rotund forge]

thx see attach https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1202267437647527977/1210506728957935616/IMG_0710.jpg?ex=65eacf3e&is=65d85a3e&hm=82e9fdf168fac691c7097432086398ff3d6d04bdb06686704256fc1cc021a3ad&

just make sure to have your discussions of said screenshots in either this channel or #general

[white falcon]

When your friend rushes through a portal half way across the map into the mistlands to rename it just to get butchered the moment he goes through and gets the portal destroyed...

[pliant hatch]

Smart men invest in a boat.

[candid basalt]

If we were smart we would be in Midgard still or Valhalla

[pliant hatch]

You don't have to be smart to end up in Valhalla.
Just have to have lived a life in Odin's Honour.

[candid basalt]

[craggy timber]

The wrath of Odin is upon you

[candid basalt]

We are in Valheim as a punishment anyway. If we can kill the bosses, bonus, otherwise eventually we become draugr and our builds become ruins for the next sap, I mean warrior

[arctic lake]

hi friends. i have a question: i keep getting "errors" when trying to place crystals. we want to make a winter garden type of situation, where two walls are crystal glass. but i can only manage one, maybe two rows on top of each other, before they turn red.
is there a trick to this? or is my game being a lil stinky?

[toxic rose]

Oh... if the ruins were of the same level as the buildings of the players, it would be very cool, but...

[vocal rivet]

We're not here as a punishment, no.

[candid basalt]

You don’t pay my sub 😂

I do find it funny how people have carved rune stones about lessons they learned here, but where are they? The bosses are here, so they didn’t go to Valhalla. They must be draugr

[odd helm]

Iirc crystal walls can't be placed by themselves for more than two rows, they need extra support

[arctic lake]

so a row of support beams in between would be needed?

[odd helm]

Aye

[frozen void]

you can use horizontal item stands inbetween as almost invisible structure to make it bigger

[vocal rivet]

'Know, traveler, that while you cannot die in the world of Valheim, yet you can cease to be reborn. Many are those who have come before you to work the will of Odin, only to find their own will failing...'

[candid basalt]

And then become draugr

[vocal rivet]

No, just not be reborn, as it says. The draugr are remnants of the original inhabitants of Valheim.

'Odin leveled their cities and Loki consumed their mines in fire. Mighty Thor broke down their towers and Freya sowed their fields with salt tears. Now they are sunk many hundred of years deep. No song sing of their stories, and the earth has claimed their cities. But pride cannot be killed entirely and the warriors who fought in that final battle will not surrender until their bodies are dust and the dust long gone. They return as Draugr, unholy walkers in ancient armour, creatures of rust and despair. Break them, bury them, let them know they are dead."'

[regal spoke]

Purgatory is mentioned here. I'm also not sure our buddy Ulf made it out

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

[regal spoke]

What's your perspective of this passage

[vocal rivet]

My perspective? It's not really open for debate. It's clear that eventually after years of failing to defeat the Forsaken previous Vikings sent to Valheim simply give up and stop 'respawning'.

[regal spoke]

We don't get a choice. We just keep respawning. Unless we just quit spooling up the game

[vocal rivet]

Hang on, are we talking gameplay or lore now, those are two different things.

[regal spoke]

I think gameplay is complicating the lore. For me at least

[arctic lake]

@frozen void @odd helm thank you 🥰

[odd helm]

It sounds like it's meant to integrate the two, tbh

The lore of the game interprets players that log out forever as Vikings who've given up on their quest and lost their immortality privileges

[vocal rivet]

Yeah, that makes sense.

[regal spoke]

Agreed. Thanks for that

[cinder pivot]

You can also use iron grates, which look pretty nice in the crystal planes!

[rain flare]

There is actually a bit of lore that one Viking lost 2 of his friends to this due to one dying after a tree fell on him (rage quit) and the other died by sea serpent (also, rage quit)

[plush umbra]

Bro that must be a skill issue for them fr

[oak pond]

This is probably a repetitive question, but Ive looked online and haven't found anything. We haven't recieved a date yet as to when Ashlands comes out have we? Just making sure

Still the first half of 2024.

First response: The next major update scheduled for Valheim is expected to give the Ashlands biome an extreme rework. Just recently, the Ashlands update for Valheim confirmed a release window for the first half of 2024

[vocal rivet]

Why would you send someone AWAY from the official server to Google for an answer we all know?

[serene talon]

it would have been funny if the Ashlands were released on Ash Wednesday

[vocal rivet]

Well, for the 30% of the population who are that fussed about Ash Wednesday.

[opal prairie]

He searched the net and couldn't find an answer.
I searched the net and found the answer in the first few seconds.

[vocal rivet]

So he came here for the answer and you sent him away again?

[latent wraith]

I wonder if we'll get boomsticks in ashlands.

[serene talon]

well maybe he's using a different browser

like bing or something else out of hell

[opal prairie]

Either he didn't search or did it poorly and I was confirming that first half of the year.
Not sending away.

[fallow ermine]

Don't you think the last two bosses are a little(actually very) difficult?

[opal prairie]

They are a step up from the former bosses, yes.
With planning and preparation certainly doable.

[serene talon]

yagluth is run away simulator in singleplayer and queen is magic tutorial

it sounds easy but isn't that easy it's just very important to stay focused and not make any mistakes

at least that's how i remember it

[slim shale]

Hey just to let you know, The Bees Are Happy💯😬😊

[candid basalt]

Indeed

[slim shale]

[regal spoke]

Like any game it's pattern and cue recognition. Attack animations and timing in this case

[woven kettle]

Distress signal recieved... My longboat has been hit harder than a pinata at a toddler's birthday party, and I'm clinging to the sides like a koala to a eucalyptus leaf during a bush fire, however, I'm on my way...

My estimated time of arrival is 13 hours the currents are looking bad! But don't fret, I'm not some landlubber , more like a barnacle stuck to a rescue boat with a heart of gold (and a slight case of seasickness). I'm hauling ass, faster than a dolphin escaping a sharknado.

[languid root]

Derek and other people chatting about Valheim's Ashlands Update.. discord keeps spamming me with this for 2 days already, and only specifically with Derek there😄

@vocal rivet please stop discussing the update:))

[regal spoke]

"I'm hauling ass," like a door to door rump roast salesman

[vocal rivet]

Sorry, what?

[languid root]

AI thinks you initiate these discussions i think

[woven kettle]

The message wasnt originally for this channel, but I decided to leave it. We have a few sailors who have Shipp wrecked and need assistance, but I'm at work and so is my crew lol

[vocal rivet]

I've barely mentioned it. And only talk about it when someone else brings it up.

[languid root]

I can send you screenshots

[opal prairie]

See gjall somewhen monday probably.

[summer hinge]

At least you aren't getting shit like this XD

[languid root]

That's the funny part for me

[vocal rivet]

You really don't have to. Just please don't tell me what I can and can't discuss.

[frozen void]

just supress highlights in server notifications

[regal spoke]

I wish I was in on these pixie trauma convos.

[languid root]

I would never even start thinking about that

[summer hinge]

I like to keep them on because of my above message lol. The AI is so screwed up sometimes.

It makes for good laughs

[regal spoke]

It's as if discord knows most of us mute servers due to, insatiable pinging. Yet they want to draw us back with these bypasses.

[summer hinge]

Speaking of screwed up AI, I missed this one. Feckin meat bicycles

[frozen void]

I am the problem it seems

[light moat]

Beat Moder with a Frostner and huntsman bow, didn’t even take 20 minutes!

[gray nexus]

meat bicycles?

[regal spoke]

I hear Splosions

[toxic rose]

With ice arrows?)

[languid root]

meat bicycles when?

[light moat]

I didn’t want to torture myself that much, just obsidian arrows lol

[regal spoke]

I want to know when I can ride a berserker into battle

[light moat]

Got absolutely destroyed by a 2 star berserker lol. Thought I could block him…

[frigid gust]

Doh... yeah. They're very scary. They don't even stagger from a single blackmetal atgeir spin.

Gotta do it multiple times, even on normal difficulty

[languid root]

That is self-confidence worth envying

[regal spoke]

Agreed. Can Berserks receive shaman bubble

[elder hearth]

Walkthrough 3 was great to watch. Sad to hear there wont be a 4th.

[light moat]

I way underestimated him lol. Maybe I’ll try a ranged option next time lol.

[light moat]

Think of it this way- maybe there won’t be another because the update is fairly close?

[regal spoke]

Splosions

[light moat]

I imagine on a harder difficulty, they are absolute monsters

[regal spoke]

I'm not looking forward to finding out on hardcore

[serene talon]

frost arrows

[regal spoke]

It's called a ||Lox|| 🤣

[cobalt token]

PTB releasing for March break would be absolutely incredible but again, cope-levels of hopefulness

[vocal rivet]

What March break?

[frozen void]

school probably

[serene talon]

i would suspect it coming out in around 4 weeks, just my theory tho

[frozen void]

or easter break i guess

school is apparently off here next week

[serene talon]

to my knowledge there is no break before eastern

[frozen void]

depends on the country

[regal spoke]

Easter is March 31st this year

[serene talon]

close enough to april in my eyes

imagine it coming out on april fools, and if they also make april fools you'll have to explore ashlands as a deer

[frozen void]

what was last year's april fool's here? i dont remember

[candid basalt]

Just do a search … oh. Nvm

[frozen void]

oh i found it lol

[merry pebble]

i totally forgot about this 😂

[latent wraith]

Haven they had a non-deer april's fool thing yet?

[frozen void]

no, first two were playable deer, then the third was the one above

first one was just character creation screen, second was gameplay

[latent wraith]

Yeah I though the two first were the same deer skin thingie.

i had to scroll a lot

[latent wraith]

FEAUTERS

[frozen void]

literally unplayable

[latent wraith]

The game needs more feauters, tbh.

[frozen void]

its like feathers, but different

[gray nexus]

The features that flew away

[night aspen]

Mace or Axe better against wolfs?

[frozen void]

doesnt matter

[frigid gust]

I'd actually say mace, it has a faster attack, on par with swords. Axes are utility, and you can use them as weapons, but they are slower DPS and just general usage.

[sharp dawn]

Valheim is a cool game

[serene talon]

it is

[old laurel]

is it better to damage modar with an iron axe or frostner?

[frozen void]

iron axe probably

[old laurel]

k ty

[frozen void]

she's immune to frost damage

[old laurel]

im in the middle of a battle

[paper marsh]

and spirit damage

[light moat]

I just beat her last night using Frostner and huntsman bow, you got this!

[frozen void]

that's only notable if the enemy isnt immune tbh lol

[light moat]

(Not recommended though)

[old laurel]

can i somehow get the drakes away??? they are ruining my whole battle

[frozen void]

kill them

[light moat]

Shoot ‘em’ down

[sharp dawn]

Anyone have a favorite 2 handed weapon?

[frozen void]

[old laurel]

my bow broke

[serene talon]

gotta be the demolisher

[paper marsh]

eh I think it's important to mention when deciding on a weapon for her especially if someone is asking since they might not know. Only having 1 of the 3 damage types on a weapon do damage is an oof

[frozen void]

you probably wanna repair it then instead of continuing the fight with a broken bow

[light moat]

Might be time for a tactical retreat

[paper marsh]

go hands on!

[old laurel]

but the modar will heal, and it has only this much healt

[sharp dawn]

Respect, same honestly

[old laurel]

i cant paste it but like one seventh

[frozen void]

she heals while you're there too, she'll heal less thefaster you can shoot her again

[light moat]

Could just whittle away at her with a melee weapon. Took me almost twenty minutes.

[paper marsh]

She won't heal much if you have a nearby portal to go repair your bow and come right back. But melee is always fun

[light moat]

Is your gear maxed out?

[old laurel]

all level 3 except armor

[light moat]

What bow are you using?

[old laurel]

broken, but draugr

no telerporter

[light moat]

Gotcha. So you’ve only done about a seventh of health in damage, your bow is broken, and you have a level 3 Frostner? Frostner will probably break

[old laurel]

about six seventh

it has only a seventh health levelt

[light moat]

Ahhh sorry, misunderstood. You can probably wrap it up with Frostner then.

[paper marsh]

or iron axe if you have that

[old laurel]

I cant hit the moder because of drakes :Dd

[paper marsh]

Might be time for a retreat then

[old laurel]

nah, i got this

[light moat]

Drakes will be annoying for sure lol but I believe in you

[paper marsh]

protip tho: Won't have your bow break if you just don't use a bow in the first place 😎

Bow too good to pass up though

[light moat]

Best part about weapon upgrades is the increased durability. Super useful.

[night aspen]

Is Obsidian marked if i target it?

[old laurel]

ong im dead, im stuck between a wolf and a fenring, there is moder in front of me and from the side comes drake bullets.

[night aspen]

we just entered first time ice mountains and instantly got raided by wolfs xD

[light moat]

The full mountain experience lol

[old laurel]

i dont know whats more annoying, swamp or mountains

[light moat]

I find the swamp to be slightly more tedious, but that’s just opinion. I like traversing mountains, but yeah they can be difficult. Are you packing meads?

[old laurel]

nah, im fully naked rn

[frigid gust]

Yes, obsidian is labeled when you look at it like copper ore, etc.

[light moat]

Backup armor? 👀

[old laurel]

nah

[light moat]

Ah, bummer. Hopefully the retrieval goes fast and smooth then.

[old laurel]

ok, got items back

retrieving😭

[thin fulcrum]

We need an Odin option next. You cannot manually travel or interact with the world, you may only randomly stalk players from afar.

Unflinching.

Friends are free to shove you to your destination.

[spring pine]

when ashlands will be released?

[frigid gust]

The topic in #general says first half 2024. So sometime before the end of June.

[urban fulcrum]

SPECULITIVELY they're done with the walk and talks to my guess is PTB is in a month, full release a little longer after

[frigid gust]

We'd prefer no guessing of dates here at all 😉 They have a bad habit of turning from a guess to a rumor to fact, and then everyone ends up getting upset for no reason.

[urban fulcrum]

true enough, happened in a different discord i was in

[hardy phoenix]

id rather they take there time and make it good

[urban fulcrum]

not to spoil anything, but imo, i'd say they did

[merry pebble]

well its the decision of each person if they want to see the "spoilers" in devblogs, you don´t have to look at them so i wouldn´t really say they spoiled that much 😄

[urban fulcrum]

im excited

[night aspen]

What should i do with my first 30 silver?

[frigid gust]

I'd suggest a wolf or lox cape, or a wolf chest. All of them will give you cold resist so you don't need potions.

[mystic fog]

wolf cape cuz looks better than deer or troll's hide cape

[urban fulcrum]

lox cape best cape

[paper marsh]

Wolf cape looks best imo but Lox still looks pretty snazzy and is cheaper

[frigid gust]

Until you get some eitr...

[paper marsh]

feather cape overated (although it is indeed good)

[frigid gust]

I always aim for a lox cape as my first one, it's a bit of a biome skip but it's the most efficient as for use of silver

[night aspen]

I never fought any Lox before

[urban fulcrum]

1. stand on a rock
2. get 300 arrows
3. be patient

[paper marsh]

you don't necessarily have to fight. You can tame them!

[urban fulcrum]

Lox cape LOOKS better. Or would, if it wasn't such a dinghy brown

[frigid gust]

They're in the plains, the next biome. If you know how to handle them they're not too bad, but they can be a bit of a tough customer if you're not aware of how they behave.

[night aspen]

Still need to find plains 🙂

[frigid gust]

You'll probably come across plenty as you are finding mountains. Make sure you explore the frost caves 😉

[night aspen]

They got also silver chests, like Iron in Kryptas?

[paper marsh]

Nope. Gotta get silver through other means

[night aspen]

How many lox hides/leather do i need for that cape?

[frigid gust]

6, so at default settings I think you need to kill at least 3 lox

[paper marsh]

honestly if you're new and you haven't been to plains before might be better to go for wolf cape. There are some other very dangerous creatures roaming the plains

[frigid gust]

I'd put wolf chest up top since that's a pretty big armor upgrade, as awesome as the wolf cape looks.

[mystic fog]

the scariest is deathsquito....

[paper marsh]

yea. Deathsquito is a huge noobkiller

[night aspen]

I actually met those in swamps, guess there was a lil piece of plains somewhere between

[paper marsh]

Got me quite a bit at the start while fooling around with friends

[night aspen]

one shotted me xD

[mystic fog]

The worst part of those when you accidently swimming near plains and deathsquito decides to pay a visit

[paper marsh]

Well sailing yea. I wouldn't recommend swimming around plains

[mystic fog]

sailing, right. my bad

[paper marsh]

Deathsquitoes have ended 1 or 2 permadeath runs for me while sailing 😭

[night aspen]

What about weapons? anything specific good with silver ingots?

[mystic fog]

frostner

[paper marsh]

Frostner is a fan favorite. To unlock it you need to also buy Ymir flesh from Haldor though. Silver sword is popular too. But pretty much all weapons in the game are great!

[frozen void]

frostner is bad for many enemies in mountains, but good in swamp, and next two biomes

[night aspen]

Frostner for blunt, spirit and cold dmg?

[paper marsh]

I like the spear in mountains but I feel alotta ppl hate spears

[mystic fog]

also for insane knockback if you want to keep those fulings away from you

[night aspen]

Sounds good, ive to test that

[formal kraken]

Frostner also has a stagger build up that everyone forgets to mention when it gives double damage consistently.

[night aspen]

nice

[mystic fog]

Well yeah but due to its insane knockback you probably won't have enough time to run to staggered enemy for extra dmg

at least i rarely manage to do so when i hit fulings with frostner

[formal kraken]

You'll learn how to pick where to fight. Usually I relocate until I find a nice slope/rock/tree to push everything up against. No reason to engage if I can safely walk somewhere else while the AI pretends to be smart.

[night aspen]

I am glad now i kept all most of the gold 😄

[formal kraken]

You'll go broke trying to complete the fishing hat. Don't worry.

[frigid gust]

Fishing hat isn't hard money-wise... hardest part is getting all the damn trophies for all the bait you need

[night aspen]

Frostner replacing the Mace, right?

[paper marsh]

technically it's "club" skill I think but works similar to mace

[frigid gust]

Supplements. Iron mace is still very useful, but the Frostner is top-tier for both the Plains and the Mistlands ahead of you. Frostner is less than ideal against Golems, Drakes or Moder though.

[mystic fog]

Spoiler, you will actually get frostner v2.0 in the mistlands

having slash dmg instead of blunt

[formal kraken]

Worse imo without the stagger

[frigid gust]

But no multi-target penalties. It's a tradeoff.

[paper marsh]

swords don't get multi target penalty?

[frigid gust]

Nope! That's one of their best features.

[mystic fog]

swords can also stagger tho

[night aspen]

Is Frostner as fast as Iron Mace?

[frigid gust]

Yes. All one-handed clubs have the same attack speeds.

It's actually identical to the sword speeds, but different movements

[paper marsh]

hmmm I'm starting to see why swords are favored. Still not that great a bonus since I believe it doesn't have the best reach. A battleaxe or atgeir would still be better for multi target damage?

[frigid gust]

Possibly, but an atgeir uses a ton of stamina for each spin, whereas the sword just keeps hacking. Honestly, the majority of this stuff is all situational, there is no super-clear "one ring" type weapon in Valheim, except maybe the fire staff.

[formal kraken]

Firestaff needs to do self-damage now. Make you regret using it in melee against that greyling

[paper marsh]

Hmm I feel like a large group of melee enemies to attack is a fairly specific situation

[formal kraken]

but like I was saying earlier, the only thing you can use in every situation is situational awareness and knowing how to use terrain against the enemy. Weapons are fun and all but breaking pathing every second to regenerate stamina is OPAF.

[night aspen]

How is the Frostner against cold immune mobs?

[formal kraken]

Lol depends if they're blunt immune at that point. Honestly you'll want an alternative weapon or two in your kit.

[frigid gust]

Terrible. It's only got 30 blunt damage, all the rest of its damage is frost. That's why I said it's not a straight replacement for the iron mace (which is 73 blunt at max upgrade level)

[night aspen]

What about the spirit dmg?

[formal kraken]

Personally I like spears because arrows are ultra heavy. Handles drakes and other fliers really easily while being a rapid-fire thown-then-picked-up machine gun in melee range.

[paper marsh]

yea I've been trying to ban OP stuff like that from my current run

[frozen void]

spirit only works on a few mobs, mostly undead or werewolves

[paper marsh]

I like spears bc I feel like bows are the only other alternative and bows are just broken

[formal kraken]

mostly everything is immune to spirit sadly. I'm hopeful the undead in ashlands aren't immune.

[frigid gust]

Largely something to ignore. The majority of enemies are immune to spirit, and anything that takes damage from it is either super weak or a Swamp creature, so not super dangerous anyway. Only big exception is the Plains boss 😉

[frozen void]

spirit is extra damage, the rest of the damage equals out to other weapons on the same tier

[urban fulcrum]

For now :)

[frigid gust]

Can't wait until I can actually use a Spinesnap usefully 😛

[oak ledge]

first time i read valheim patch notes and the discord server incident happend, so sad to hear this

[frigid gust]

It's all good. We're back better than ever 😉 Just be wary about opening anything you get from Discord.

[oak ledge]

I wasn't an active member but I would browse the building channel to see people's works as well as the tips channel being a new player

but glad to see everyone working to get it back up again

[urban fulcrum]

Does valhiem support other languages?

[mystic fog]

Wasn't an active member but i became active once i heard full volume notifications in my headset while casually playing games

[mystic fog]

yes, maybe not every language but yes

[frozen void]

there's over 20 different languages at least 50% translated, either through community or official

[tough yacht]

yeah but it unfortunately doesn't support whatever language greylings are always grumbling in around my base

[wicked slate]

oi

brasil?

[languid root]

They are still just trying to figure it out by themselves

[hearty niche]

I'd love to pick the Valheims team brain about Unity branching strategies. Something I've been struggling with is branching off to do big things (like adding a biome or other big feature) while having parallel development fixing bugs and keeping those things in sync.

In pure c# projects this hasn't been a problem but betweeen assets and the way Unity stores data, my usual bag of tricks is proving insufficient.

[tough yacht]

constantly whacking the nearest stone structure

[languid root]

first words in their language to start building everything else around it would be: "excuse me sir, what are doing right now" and "fire!"

[night aspen]

There is no silver pick axe, right?

[frozen void]

nope

you get the next pickaxe in 6th biome

[urban fulcrum]

swamp needs a facelift tbh

[night aspen]

Thats Mistlands?

[frozen void]

yea

[urban fulcrum]

do you?

OH RIGHT YOU DO

[dense rapids]

Any good ideas for what to have in a great hall (as decoration/filling) if I already have a big enough long table for a big party but still have half the room empty?

[spare quest]

man the arbalest is so fun

[urban fulcrum]

Hearth?

[spare quest]

i thought arbalest was slow but then i remembered that a bow spends both stamina and time to aim

so arbalest is better

[night aspen]

put all your gold into it? 😄

crystal wall any good?

[merry pebble]

as a window

[dense rapids]

Have a treasury for that 😄

[dense rapids]

I have tried to use it to keep fish from jumping out of the pond. Still need to make it higher, they jump insanely high

Would be funny if the crystal wall secretly was like indistructable, but nobody finds out because it looks so brittle

[night aspen]

I never know wich weapons i should bring. For Swamps the Mace was pretty good couse of fast att speed and weakness, now i got to Frostner too. Are there like 2 weapons + bow, wich cover all those weaknesses?

I got Axe, Frostner and Bow atm

[urban fulcrum]

Frostner is op, it cleans up even mistlands

[night aspen]

Am i supposed to max. Frostner?

[frigid gust]

The iron mace is pretty good in the mountains as well, it's my primary weapon because the golems are immune to frost and resist all types of damage except blunt

[dense rapids]

I stuck to axe as my main weapon, but only because it looks viking cool and can cut trees 😅

[night aspen]

I am using Pickaxe for Golems 😄

[urban fulcrum]

That’s what I do every time

[frigid gust]

Frostner is good to max after the mountains, but it's not critical to front-load upgrading it

[frigid gust]

Roll forward into a golem as it attacks to avoid damage, uppercut with the mace and it'll stun it, then you can dismantle it. Pickaxe is effective, but it is super janky to use and takes forever

[night aspen]

Good to know.

[night aspen]

thats what ive been doing until swamps

but i kinda liked the increased att speed of mace, compared to axe

and the effectiveness to those poison jellys xD

[dense rapids]

I also always thought that skill level did a lot, so I didn't want to switch skill type

[night aspen]

I just wish i didn't buy extra ymir meat, couse i thought the upgrades gonna costs some

now ive 15 ymir meat left, no clue what to do with that

[frigid gust]

Iron sledge! Hehe. But yeah, there's not much currently to do with it other than Frostner and Iron Sledge. Hopefully something in the Ashlands we can use it for.

[dense rapids]

Sorry i need to rant: isn't it annoying when you continue someone else's build, and they didn't stick to the snapping grid? I always try to do so..

[frigid gust]

It can be, depending. I will do it intentionally sometimes to achieve an effect I want, but not for most major things. I have seen people make cool pyramid and domed type structures by offsetting stone pieces as they build up

[dense rapids]

I try to keep our entire base into the same grid, so stuff lines up when you come back around no matter how far you build. But then my friend was the one making the main castle, and that one is all over the place with weird angles and shapes

[vocal lichen]

Guys how can someone carry loxes across the sea,can they fit on ships?

[frigid gust]

Ahhh. Does it look cool? 😉 Valheim gets interesting when you are not doing square box builds. Gotta start talking to my man Pythagoras and all 😛 But there can be pretty fun and interesting builds you can do with circular things. I still snap the pieces, but they aren't always in a bigger "grid" that can be connected to other buildings or anything.

[frigid gust]

Very carefully. You can put a saddle on them too, and they swim pretty far before running out of stamina, as well as having quite a bit of health after that. But there's no real easy way to just ship them anywhere.

[dense rapids]

You can have them on the biggest ship, we did that once. They do give damage to the ship, so be ready to stop and repair it. Also make sure to not sail close to enemies that can trigger it, or it jumps over board.

[vocal lichen]

What if a serpent attacks it

[dense rapids]

we sailed away from the serpent 😄

moder might be nice to have

[night aspen]

With Frostner i feel more like Thor, guess that look is pretty close to a Viking 😛

[dense rapids]

Did you know frostner gives off a frost effect when you mount it on the wall?

looks cool, litteraly

[night aspen]

didnt know 😮

[dense rapids]

#screenshots message

[frigid gust]

Swamp Keys and Dvergr Circlets (either on item mounts or armor stands) are also great for lighting and cool effects

Surtling trophies, too

[dense rapids]

yeah recently learned about the surtling trophies, put some up today

they give the fire effect 😄 love it 🔥

[vocal lichen]

For fashion I like the plains armor with great axe,looks like an actual medieval viking, or with the blackmetal axe and red padded shield

[dense rapids]

yellow mushrooms give very faint light, we have a whole bunch of those as guiding lights

[frigid gust]

Fenris set is the peak of fashion and utility 😛

[vocal lichen]

Well screw getting the cultists trophy

Also I play on low fps so I need armor more

[dense rapids]

Day 1702 😅 I wonder what to do to celebrate day 2024

[old echo]

so me, my wife and my son took our first trips to the swamp today

[dense rapids]

Story time! 😍

[old echo]

Well I've been to the swamps before, they havent

[paper marsh]

Did they enjoy the landscape?

I just took my first swamp trip of this server 😄

[old echo]

we found our first crypt and got a fair whack of iron, but was a 2 trip job. Then on the 2nd trip I may have accidentally on purpose found an abomination

which had an abomination friend nearby

so we fought 2 abominations

then on our 3rd trip me and my wife forgot to take our poison resist potions and died in a slow inevitable fashion

and now we are in our 2nd crypt

and then my laptop blue screened so we are taking a 5 min break (I'm host)

[sharp fox]

Hello everyone ☺️

[old echo]

it was a blue screen instant restart thankfully

so no dramas

my laptop is probably feeling the stress of my having played 60 hours of rdr2 this week

[sharp fox]

I’m on Xbox and looking for some new people to play with/new servers to join. 😄

I am doing a play through solo and with one of my cousins; but he stopped playing and we were just about to fight Yagluth. So now I’m looking for a new home. 😄

[dense rapids]

Go check out #1024264966712340510 😉

(lfg=looking for group)

[sharp fox]

I’m looking them over, but I’m not certain which posts are cross play/on Xbox. 😅

[dense rapids]

don't ask me, i havent looked at that channel 😅 just pointing people there. Maybe you can make a post yourself? I have no idea what the instructions are

[sharp fox]

I’ll see if I can find them. 😄

[sharp fox]
