[sharp halo]

I want 😤

[mortal raven]

I'm still very afraid of those even with mistlands gear...

[loud valve]

You gotta rush them

[mortal raven]

Um I don't think so

I usually get rushed first...

They too damn fast to me

[sharp halo]

does the AI scale with the amount of players you have?

[mortal raven]

As in enemy spawn count..??

[sharp halo]

count and difficultly

[random token]

It does up to a point, right?

[latent wraith]

The mobs get a bit more apparent health.

[sharp halo]

🤔

[mortal raven]

I'm pretty sure it doesn't matter

[exotic cradle]

They do upscale

[mortal raven]

Ok fine 😦

[sharp halo]

so just health

[loud valve]

Weak point is underneath them

[sharp halo]

crazy how irl ocean is more empty, it's just water 😀

[mortal raven]

Yeah but it takes like 20 shots with the arbalest if I use the cheaper arrows 😦

*bolts

[sharp halo]

use better arrows 🗣️🗣️🗣️

[random token]

Just be careful attacking under there or you’ll get really ticked off

[sharp halo]

*bolts

[loud valve]

Arbalest sucks imo

[random token]

I dunno, it’s alright for what it is

[mortal raven]

It's cheap!

[sharp halo]

I was so disappointed when I first got it

cheap isn't good 🗣️

[mortal raven]

I don't have the wands yet

[random token]

How about after upgrading?

[loud valve]

The stamina penalty kills you

A regular bow is better

[sharp halo]

needing to load it every time you pull it out sucks tbh

[latent wraith]

and 20000 tonnes of crude oil.

[mortal raven]

Um I had extra roots laying around so...

[random token]

Stamina penalty for arbalest…?

[mortal raven]

It uses a lot of stam

[sharp halo]

OIL? 🦅🦅🦅🦅🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥‼️‼️‼️‼️

[random token]

I thought it just stops the loading process when you try to use stamina

Not actually using stamina for loading

[loud valve]

You also don't regen stamina when reloading

[random token]

I… thought it did…?

I didn’t like the reload cancel, but I never had to worry about stamina regen

[mortal raven]

Uses like 3 I think...? 1 stamina/s for 3.5 seconds on the wiki

Ok idk what I'm talking abt how do I run out of stamina then...

[random token]

Whoa. I never even noticed that

We’re talking about the arbalest and not the bonesnap bow, right?

[mortal raven]

Yes the crossbow thingy

[random token]

Huh… 🤔 Well I guess I’ll have to pay closer attention next time I use it

[sharp halo]

bonesnap bow👀👀👀 when can I get that

[random token]

I just saw it as a strategic trade-off… load while in temporary safety, then run and shoot quick

[random token]

Same biome level as crossbow ☺️

There might be something more you need to discover if it hasn’t unlocked yet

Or just check around in the crafting stations in case you missed it — I can’t remember which one it was rn

Oh. Spinesnap?

[sharp halo]

ok I'll look

[mortal raven]

Don't craft it, pretty sure it does spirit damage, poison from the fang is so much nicer

[random token]

Can’t remember the name right either haha

[mortal raven]

Black forge

[random token]

I’d say that depends on the monster you’re shooting, and it seems like a big hint at future necessity too

Swamp mobs die faster from spirit, and it seems like Ashlands stuff will be more in that vein

[mortal raven]

Oh right... won't there be like skeletons and stuff? Mb maybe you should craft it...

[random token]

Mistlands monsters… I guess you’d have to try it out to see for sure. I heard some of the bugs don’t take much physical damage, so it might help

[vocal rivet]

Only ghosts and wraiths.

[sharp halo]

❌❌❌

[mortal raven]

Draugrs, skeletons

[sharp halo]

slimes too? I think

[random token]

Ah that makes sense… but… I thought I saw draugrs take more damage over time after getting hit with silver stuff…

[mortal raven]

Nope, afaik

[sharp halo]

86% sure it affects slimes too

[vocal rivet]

No, just wraiths and ghosts.

[latent gorge]

It looks empty, but beneath it’s another world 😆

[vocal rivet]

@sharp halo Give it a rest with the emojis.

[sharp halo]

idk man most of its empty

[sharp halo]

use the block button 👍🏼

[mortal raven]

Um wiki (again) says they dont

[sharp halo]

might be a mod I have

[exotic cradle]

Derek writes the wiki, I'd trust him :3

[vocal rivet]

Not JUST me.

[exotic cradle]

I KNOW but I like flexing you

[vocal rivet]

In what way?

[near furnace]

🤔

[sharp halo]

the bees are happy

[near furnace]

they may be. but I am not

[mortal raven]

My friends lied to me and said they could also be unhappy back when I started playing

Nobody told me why they would be upset, so I just didn't build beehives

[random token]

The bees are sad 😔 even fewer left irl than in the meadows now

[sharp halo]

I'm happy if the bees are happy, you should be too

[sharp halo]

damn 😔 how can I make the bees happy again 😔

[mortal raven]

Lead enemies into them, theyre begging for blood

[near furnace]

by going to #rules-and-info. read it again while you think about how you post messages to other users

[latent gorge]

it looks empty, but it is quite happening under water. I realise this after I sign up for diving classes.

[opal prairie]

You and me both. That sound gives me chills.

[opal prairie]

Mostly you though.

[vocal rivet]

I mean, you'd have to count the contributions. I'm just louder about it in the Discord.

There's at least one contributer that isn't even on the server.

[idle storm]

It does a tiny amount of spirit damage... and also more pierce than the pierce & poison from the draugr fang put together.

[exotic cradle]

Gasp

[opal prairie]

Don't worry, bee happy, bzz bzz bzz bzz bzz bzz bzz bzz bzz bzz bzz bzz.

[exotic cradle]

Stop replying to old messages mane

[latent gorge]

What types of contribution can I contribute?

[vocal rivet]

Anything from spelling corrections to new pages.

[opal prairie]

My mane needs some cutting.
I'm trying to catch up.

[latent gorge]

Wiki pages?

[mortal raven]

Um doesn't it use less stamina though?

That's basically increased fire rate!

[half dragon]

I checked and spinesnap does far more pierce damage than draugr fang. That alone is a huge plus due to how poison works

only small portion of it is in spirit damage

[random token]

Oh I see, it only seemed like it didn’t use stamina because it used so little and I was only trying to avoid overusing stamina at the time, not checking whether it was going up or down for that three seconds

[mortal raven]

We're talking abt the spinesnap BOW!!!

Not the arbalest

[mortal raven]

Thx man! I didn't know, some1 gave me bad advice ig

[opal prairie]

We can't say it is about ranged weapons because else we need to throw the spear into the mix.

[opal prairie]

Test it out and play with the one you like, like the poison and less stamina used go with the fang, if you want more pierce and also more stamina use go for the snap.

[mortal raven]

I just got enough black cores for an eitr thingy, will try it out soon

[half dragon]

Draugr fang at max does 56 pierce and 20 poison, for total of 76
Spine at level 3 does 80 pierce and 15 spirit. Once we get level 4 for it, it will be 84 pierce and 20 spirit

poison on paper sounds nice... but it doesn't stack. The higher fire rate (bow skill) your bow has the more poison sucks ass

[opal prairie]

Sadly it doesn't work like fire yeah.

[half dragon]

hmm... oh! lightning damage causes extra staggering? damn that is nice

also bonus damage against wet enemies like cold

no wonder there haven't been weapons with lightning damage until now

[amber flicker]

can you get raided before killing 1st boss?

[half dragon]

yes, but it's basically just free food donation

[opal prairie]

Yes, by necks and boars.

[half dragon]

it's possible to turn off raids if you do not wish to deal with them, or later turn them back on again

[amber flicker]

nah its not needed.
Is tower shield and spear a good combo?

[half dragon]

a shield capable of parrying would be even better combo

[hollow crag]

Am exploring infested mine with mountains gear, seekers scary as fk

[half dragon]

parrying takes some practice, but it uses the same timing as dodge invincibility frame, so that would be very useful skill no matter what you decide to do later in the game

[idle storm]

Himminafl + a shallow moat or puddle is OP as hell

[azure yacht]

Technically but as said below, parrying + spear is much more powerful

Spears are probably the way they are for parrying only

They can destroy many staggered enemies

[amber flicker]

dont you mean atgeir?

[hollow crag]

Bonemass ability is way too op, am clearing infested mine in silver age

[azure yacht]

You can't parry as effectively with Atgeir. And the secondary only staggers slightly.

Parrying from blocking is more effective

[idle storm]

Spear + parry works extremely well.

[azure yacht]

(against single targets)

[amber flicker]

why is it that good?

vs other 1 handed

[idle storm]

because spear has very fast attack speed and low sta cost.

[amber flicker]

so it would be the same with a knife

[hollow crag]

Although didnt quite finish it, with 3 1 star seeker in one room and bonemass ability running out

But got 5 black cores

[idle storm]

yes, knifes are good too. They do slash/pierce instead of pure pierce though.

[azure yacht]

Because spear's attack is always uniform, it always deal roughly the same dmg and doesn't need a combo, so you're essentially always dealing the same damage against the target without needing to time attacks (for other combo weapons the third attack deals increased damage).

There's also the matter of fast attack speed, might be inaccurate af by this alone is a nice bonus

[amber flicker]

i just started a new playthrough with some friends and we banned the bow, so trying to find a new playstyle

[azure yacht]

During the staggering animation you can deal several attacks with the spear due to attack speed alone, for many enemies this would be enough to outright kill them

[idle storm]

It depends on the enemy and how long they're staggered. If you have time to get in a sword or mace secondary that's great, but some enemies (like wolves) aren't staggered that long and may get out of stagger before your attack finishes unless your timing is perfect.

[azure yacht]

I remember destroying lox with fang spear + black metal shield combo during earliest days

[idle storm]

Knife secondary is also really good against staggered enemies

[azure yacht]

That's why I implied is not for all enemies.

Also, wolves' staggering is actually longer than most other enemies.

An atgeir's secondary on them is pretty much the same duration as a block parry for most other enemies. A block parry on them is their death sentence

[amber flicker]

too bad the tower shield is so bad vs parry

[half dragon]

spear is also pretty decent ranged weapon if bows are no go. they are cheapest melee weapons from what I remember

[idle storm]

Huh weird, it feels shorter to me.

[idle storm]

The serpent scale shield is actually really good all the way into Mistlands, but that's mostly because of the pierce resist.

[median heath]

Animation cancellation jump OR block/roll + sword power strike = OP - nothing can hit you while your power striking you become invincible 🙂

[idle storm]

Yeah, and then you're out of stam. Definitely not a tactic for group fights.

[amber flicker]

Yeah i see, gonna be rough to kill serpent without bow tho, i guess

[idle storm]

You can still use a harpoon to drag it to land, then spear it? You need to kill it on land anyway for the scales

Might need a sta mead so it doesn't get away before you kill it though

[median heath]

Acutally it works well the block/roll combo uses no stamina, your only using the power strike which almost always 1 shots an equal level mob.

So you just kyte them ,and keep doing that, you can take out mobs endlessly.

[amber flicker]

Spear throw seems to drop alot, does this get better just as the bow does?

[median heath]

hmm, I've never noticed an aim deficiency with spears, though I don't usually use them after the dark forest.

[idle storm]

Not really. You'll never get the range of a bow with a spear, it's more of a medium-range weapon when thrown.

[neon quest]

I should have waited for ashlands to make a new world, made a new one on Friday and I am already in mistlands, now I have to put the playthrough on ice

[opal prairie]

I won't give up, no, I won't give in, 'Til I reach the end, and then I'll start again?

[neon quest]

dont wanna do another new world so "soon" (assuming the update drops in the next month or so)

[loud valve]

Just make a new world with different purposes/rules

[neon quest]

Different purpose??? this is valheim not minecraft

[opal prairie]

No portals, no map, easy cheesy, brutally hard that you'll have nightmares about it, take your pick with the world settings it is all possible.

[neon quest]

yeah thats not a different purpose, at most its grindier, which is not my idea of fun

[opal prairie]

Less grindy if you haven't put the world modifiers for drops to the max yet.

[neon quest]

Huge consequences when dumb stuff kills you just means you have to play safer which is less fun, but its not really harder

[opal prairie]

Build something big.

[vocal rivet]

There's also nothing wrong with just waiting and playing something else in the meantime.

[neon quest]

You can stop giving me recommendations, thats not how I enjoy the game

[neon quest]

exactly what I said

[vocal rivet]

They were just trying to be helpful. Sometimes a new or different challenge can be fun.

[opal prairie]

Play the game how and when you want.
Just saying you can make a new world.
I'm waiting till ashland drops to start a new world.

[neon quest]

sure, I was just saying in the most polite way I know, that I wasnt looking for valheim challenge ideas

[half dragon]

well that's exactly what happens when you speedrun through the game... started nearly 1 month ago and I'm still working daily to bring my saves ready for Ashlands, part of preparations being a proper good base

[neon quest]

what do you need to prepare for? just walk in there, with the latest food and gear and you are good, maybe make a couple heat potions but I bet theres armor for that effect and I still have 4 left from yag

[half dragon]

do you not do anything else than smash things, collect the loot, make barely good enough gear and move on?

[neon quest]

I usually create a new base in every biome

sometimes I dont need to if the next biome and boss are close, like usually I can skip a black forest base

[summer crane]

I'm just going to full play through the game with fire on

Because we can't possibly know if other content comes that changes the flow of the game, also I will run out of content faster if I jump straight to Ashland's. Might as well make a 1-2 week grind out of it

[azure yacht]

It was an idea, you don't have to follow it.

The point is you can configure it to whatever you want to make it more different

I started a new world where skill gain rates are x10 higher but I lose all levels on death

I lose skill progress but also level up a skill pretty much every minute for a while, it is drastically different from what I'm used to

[halcyon thistle]

if you're not into farming and building, you can very quickly burn out on valheim

[summer crane]

On my next playthrough I might buff the xp rates, that sounds cool. I think recently I have been playing with 3x resources and no tp restrictions.

[halcyon thistle]

but then again, nothing wrong with playing other games while you recover from that

that's exactly what I do

and then a sudden batch of toys drops on your sandbox, and you're good to go for months in a row with all the new possibilities

[loud valve]

There isn't a problem with playing other games. There is a problem however, with people complaining there's nothing to do in game when they choose to ignore certain content.

[summer crane]

I think that is just misalignment of interests and it should be obvious to people that it means their playing a game a bit out of their comfort zone for the components that they enjoy

On the other hand, people will claim things are content and suggest to do those things for the pure sake of fighting the "where's more content" questions

[azure yacht]

It's also no map, no portal but normal difficulty and 3x resources but no work bench as well.

No work bench part helps a lot with no map to build indicators in the wild

I'm fearful of how difficult finding the bosses will be

[summer crane]

If I feel inspired I may do a full vanilla at some point, maybe ashlands, but the no map is hardcore

No workbench is cool, although things don'e render too far away so it would have limited use I think

[half dragon]

There's crap ton of things to do in this game, but it's 100% you problem if you decide to do none of that.

565 hours in the game, 70 hours last 2 weeks alone. And highly doubt another 100 or 200 hours would be enough to do "everything"

[hollow crag]

I usually just find an ruined structure and repair it with minimal effort and use it as a temporary base 💀

Creating bases as a solo player is kinda unrewarding and time consuming

[azure yacht]

I keep (and will always keep) saying that replayability comes a lot more from the player that the game.

In theory, literally no other game offers replayability as there will be a time where you'd get to experience every bit of content no matter what you do.

Whether the player continues playing after this or not is decided by the player themselves, not much else

[half dragon]

difference being a game like Valheim allows you to have vastly different experiences even after hundreds of hours, meanwhile most games offers you the same exact experience over and over again

[hollow crag]

Tbf you can probably beat the game easily within 100hrs without using glitches or any speedrunning strategies

[half dragon]

you can, much faster if you do not mind using scuffed gear a lot

[hollow crag]

Silver gear is good enough to clear pretty much any content in the game currently

With bonemass buff any scuffed armour you have can withstand pretty much any phsyical attacks

[azure yacht]

(for five minutes)

[hollow crag]

I mean 5 mins is usually way more than enough to end any normal fights, including raiding villages, or gets you out of any trouble

[summer crane]

Thankyou for demonstrating my point. There is a lot of 'content' but we all know that you get diminishing returns out of a game's content, otherwise we would have stopped making games at Minecraft. Content is also subjective and while many things are fun, the core content flow is progressing though the biomes and beating the bosses.

Building x size base or building y amount of bases is where the content starts branching off from core progression, most players will do that but they won't necessarily get extremely deep into it as it yields diminishing returns. Then they go back to main progression, maybe go down a farming branch and the return back to main progression. You run out of content eventually.

Some people can play the game for 8hrs a day indefinitely, some people just want to soak up all the content over a 2week binge 1-2 times a year because they get bored

[half dragon]

with that logic might as well just watch some youtube videos on how to kill the ender dragon the speedrun strat way, do it and say I've beat the game, where's the new content.

[hollow crag]

Any time there's new content I am happy lol, the fact is that content don't just magically appears out of thin air, and complaining and being impatient certainly wouldn't make it better

[summer crane]

What are you even talking about?

[hollow crag]

Like it's totally fine if you take breaks from the game lol

Everyone knows that iron gate is a small development team and content are slow, while I do want more, there's legit nothing you can do

[half dragon]

it's not even that slow compared to some certain games that got bigger team and suddenly got even slower updates

[summer crane]

That's good, and people do take breaks, and people like this game but are not satisfied with squeezing content out of it because building doesn't itch the same scratch as exploring a fresh biome with a plethora of new items. That new game is experience is one of the best dopamine rushes you can get in gaming. Diving into the unknown

[vocal rivet]

Development certainly isn't slow.

[summer crane]

My point is that it's also bad to be overly complacent and tell others why they should or shouldn't be. Content is subjective. I also don't think people asking for content in this game is bad, it's just really annoying, especially if you live in the server

[azure yacht]

Regardless of the pace, it's quality content. I'm sure ashlands will be worth the wait despite being in development for over a year

[hollow crag]

It is quite slow, but you can always list games with a worse example. Slow or fast there's always going to be a demand for more content, and the best thing you can do is just be patient lol

[half dragon]

asking for it when it's already coming, constantly every single day and whining... that gets annoying really quickly

[azure yacht]

They went big for mistlands and seem to be going even bigger for ashlands

[vocal rivet]

I think the develop times are comparable. As much as we can know them.

[hollow crag]

Fr the lightning weapons looks amazing

[azure yacht]

I'm very glad they do things at the pace they feel comfortable with rather than listening to the vast whining minority that keeps complaining and release stuff unfinished and rushed

[half dragon]

I've seen good number of games in early stages and the time it took for them to add sstuff, there's very few that update significantly faster than Valheim, and even those games are rather simple games that do not take nearly as much effort to add new content

[summer crane]

Everyone is so weirdly obsessed with comparing development times to other games

[half dragon]

that would be because it's relevant... it won't go faster if you say it's slow

[summer crane]

When did I say it was slow?

[half dragon]

or tell them to be faster, just being unreasonable

[vocal rivet]

Huh?

[half dragon]

not you specifically saying it

[vocal rivet]

It was Yuuki, you're complaining at the wrong person.

[half dragon]

not even complaining at him. "you" as in "a person", nobody specific

[azure yacht]

Let's all remember there are two games out there that have been in ea for more than a decade...

[summer crane]

Peoples opinion on the speed is subjective so it's a losing argument. You can pull statistics from all the games you want and chose the stats that fit the narrative

[half dragon]

opinion on speed is subjective, but the actual speed is far from subjective

[azure yacht]

Even if IG took more than five years to release valheim fully, it would still be a lot better than other games

[light moat]

Ashlands is going to be so good, I can feel it.

[summer crane]

You can qualify the speed in both directions if you pick your evidence right

[opal prairie]

You are sitting too close to the fire again.

[loud valve]

Need to get that rested buff faster

[opal prairie]

Sitting too close could give you the rested buff forevermore.

[frigid gust]

I see you have met my chickens...

[loud valve]

Build fires everywhere so you never lose rested

[opal prairie]

Hides the chicken bones
Yes it was their fault, I would never spit roast a chicken.

[tall zealot]

Anyone need a hand today? Eastern time zone, xbox player, helpful in any regards. I will be available for the next 14 hours today. Yall may message me directly if you'd like.

[odd helm]

Heya, #1024264966712340510 would be the best place to post message like these for visibility. Most folk needing another player will be looking there first~

[tall zealot]

I have responded to many people with no immediate attention. Days have passed. Just looking for active people on the server as of now. Thank you though.

[loud valve]

I'd suggest joining one of those big modded servers

[round lichen]

i didnt know valhiem becomes a horror game

[loud valve]

Play without sound or wisps in the mistlands

[plush umbra]

how do you change console flight controls?

i dont want Lctrl to go down

[strange arrow]

burning down the forest might actually be the most efficient way of clearing it for a build xD

[strange arrow]

like in fairy tales

it's exactly as it says on the tin "brutal survival game"

and you'd expect the final levels of any game to be the toughest

[frigid gust]

The crouch key should be fly down, so whatever you bind that to ought to carry over.

[strange arrow]

it feels very much to me like a modern day, viking re-imagining of Faxanadu, which was a classic NES platformer

and although i wouldn't class either as horror, i'd say they both instill that element of dread that the player gets from a daunting game with scary environments and monsters

[wild shale]

any idea when the ashlands update might be released?

[wintry panther]

damn you guys need a job

[strange arrow]

when it's ready, still 1st half of 2024 according to general channel

[wintry panther]

@frigid gust get a job!!

[frigid gust]

Soon as I finish making my egg sandwich this morning I'll get right to work, boss, don't you worry

[wintry panther]

I better not see you slacking buddy

[exotic cradle]

[serene talon]

reminds me of things i would say to my workers mining iron in the crypts

[opal prairie]

A cop stops a car and ask the driver: "Who's car is this, where are you going, what do you do?
The driver only has one reply: Mine.

[serene talon]

exactly

[loud valve]

The most unbelievable part of this is the miner driving to the mine instead of just living at the worksite

[vocal rivet]

What miners live at the mine?

[serene talon]

if the mine is far away i would assume so

[strange arrow]

ones that dislike commuting?

[fair cairn]

dont miners usually take a bus to work, though granted its what B2Gold does here

[frigid gust]

16 tons and what do you get, another day older and deeper in debt...

[maiden hornet]

dwarfs love a dig

[loud valve]

It's usually shifts of like 2 weeks where they live in nearby provided accommodations and get bused to the mine

Then they get to go home for like a week

[fallen zephyr]

FIFO

[strange arrow]

everyone knows dwarves dig dig dig dig dig dig dig, dig, the whole day thru

[opal prairie]

In the mine! (echo) In the mine! (echo)
Where a million diamonds ... shine!

[fallen zephyr]

Is FIFO just an Australian thing then?

Fly-In-Fly-Out

[loud valve]

No

But more people work inventory and accounting where it means something else

[opal prairie]

File in, file out

[vocal rivet]

FIFO means First In First Out.

[fallen zephyr]

It means something else in customer service too, but I don't want to expand on it here.

[frigid gust]

FIFO is a type of queue in programming as well, First In First Out. But we're kinda getting into #general chat territory and should consider moving it there 😉

[strange arrow]

shoosh channel fairy

[vocal rivet]

No, #general is just talk of parrots, it is a silly place.

[lusty crescent]

Fee
Fifo
Fum

[opal prairie]

Kinda like camelot.

[fallen zephyr]

Damn... I was just typing that. 😛

[lusty crescent]

Reference moment
This is a w

[strange arrow]

\o/

[loud valve]

So how you do people manage your Valheim slaves, I mean employees?

[vocal rivet]

Yes, two different Python jokes in two different channels.

[serene talon]

umm they get a bed

[loud valve]

Does that bring us back on topic?

[lusty crescent]

It's like the brainrot of the previous generation

[serene talon]

often in a tower with a eye on it (wanna keep an eye on them)

[vocal rivet]

I'm really not sure. There are no such thing as 'employees' in Valheim.

[strange arrow]

it's the smol wins

[opal prairie]

And now that is something, completely different.

[strange arrow]

AVENGERS...

[opal prairie]

They are lumberjacks and they are ok, they sleep all night and work all day.

[strange arrow]

and another disney song elbows it's way in

[opal prairie]

Lumberjack song isn't from disney, I'm staying in theme.

[serene talon]

oh and they got different jobs, like for instance the smelter the lumberjack; but well sometimes we need iron so i send them into the mines

[vocal rivet]

Mods?

[strange arrow]

ah Python again, foiled xD

[opal prairie]

You weren't the black knight on that joke.

[frigid gust]

Don't worry, it was just a flesh wound

[strange arrow]

need to up that parry game

[kind pendant]

Just walked into my stone base in the plains and there’s a 1 star skeleton in there?? How and what.

[loud valve]

Did you leave the door open?

[fallen zephyr]

Well, you don't expect an un-starred skeleton to be able to do that, do you?!

[frigid gust]

Any raids recently? Brenna's raid could allow that, but I'm not sure of any other way for a starred skeleton to show up like that

[kind pendant]

I have not defeated brenna, I left my door open but it’s just really confusing me how a starred skeleton walked up to me, IN the plains. They can spawn like that??

[frigid gust]

Not as far as I know, unless you somehow have a Black Forest microbiome inside your base and it's also not covered by a spawn protecting player base structure.

[kind pendant]

So they can just spawn inside my base rn..? It’s just a stone tower right now still in construction

[frigid gust]

Possibly. Could have been a troll if my theory is right 😛 You need to make sure a workbench or fire radius is covering the place where you saw it

[kind pendant]

Wow, I do have a workbench covering it outside

[frigid gust]

er, swamp microbiome that is

[kind pendant]

But I don’t know, it’s kinda crazy

There is a swamp next to the plains, a good 150 meter walk away

[fallen zephyr]

I found a greyling in my boat once... still not sure how he managed that.

[kind pendant]

😂

[frigid gust]

Yeah, there have been instances of super small, not even visible pieces of another biome showing in the middle of other biomes. I have one world where I have a surtling geyser in the middle of a black forest, and nowhere around it does it say swamp biome, but there is some swamp a few hundred meters away. My guess is something similar for you, but it just spawned a skeleton instead.

[idle storm]

Yep, i have a burial chamber surrounded by nothing but meadows in mine.

[nocturne wolf]

Once I found a guck tree in plains

[frigid gust]

So the biggest thing to do is to make sure the area is fully covered with workbench radiuses and you should avoid that in the future

[fallen zephyr]

I found a copper vein in the plains

[idle storm]

Even says meadows when i stand right at the entrance

[kind pendant]

That must’ve been interesting

[serene talon]

burial chambers always spawn everywhere in the smallest black forests that exist

[fallen zephyr]

at the border obviously, but it was there

[plush umbra]

Thanks for the reply. Apparently it's hardcoded into the files, so I went ahead and changed the files themselves

[errant gulch]

how many hours you guys got on valheim?

[fallen zephyr]

I might be easier for me to measure it in months. (Edit: And I'm barely at the top end of the first standard deviation above the mean).

[plush umbra]

I've got about 400 hours but 3/4 of that was just building a castle

[fallen zephyr]

Did you call it El Cid?

[plush umbra]

the cidtadel

[fallen zephyr]

That's not bad. Nice.

[little spindle]

Is ashlands in the game?

[dense steppe]

900

[pliant hatch]

They've always been in the game.

But if you mean if the Ashlands biome as mentioned by the dev's in their blogs is released; the answer is "No".

You need to wait for about 75 days before the time they mentioned is up.

[little spindle]

Thank you!!!

[pliant hatch]

I seem to have 950 hours.

Feels likes it's just a bit over 95 to me, though.

[near furnace]

around 6000 🤔

[pliant hatch]

Yeah, but you played the board game too. 😜

[near furnace]

Valheim the board game?

[pliant hatch]

Yeah, the pre-alpha version.

[near furnace]

oh I wish that was a thing🥲

[pliant hatch]

Well, I'm gonna screenshot this in case that's the next project.
Just to make sure I got credited for the idea. 😉

[near furnace]

tho.. I have this folder

[near furnace]

plenty of people have posted in #suggestions about a valheim board game tho

but no one really explained. how would it work 🤔

[pliant hatch]

Looks like I got something to think about in the weekend.

[rich ice]

It should be based on the Valheim Discord. The GM would be called Smiffe.

It would mostly involve players jumping in and out of combat while asking "when so-and-so".

[ornate sentinel]

You could make it a co-op thing a la the Stardew Valley boardgame.

[near furnace]

valheim the farming simulator board game

[ornate sentinel]

I mean, at some point, it kinda do be like that...

[near furnace]

turn 28983. "Walk to the forrest for 1 Action Point, cut down wood for another Action point"? 😄

[unique onyx]

oh no is EA making this one?

[ornate sentinel]

Make it just a game of "how fast can you beat Moder / Yagluth?"

[pliant hatch]

*Getting the "Ground is shaking" event, roll a 1 and being told you 'wake up at the spawn, with your base and portals destroyed.'

Rage quit guaranteed*

[ornate sentinel]

Alternatively, make it so you gather enough resources to survive all of the raids up until Fuelings?

[nocturne wolf]

It would have a dice for wind direction with 1 on every side

[fallen zephyr]

I love the idea of 'Fuelings'. They roam the land with various stores of lithium-ion batteries, jerry-cans full of gasoline, and directions to the closest liquid hydrogen pumps.

[ornate sentinel]

I realize it is a typo, but I shall let this stand.

[fallen zephyr]

It's a great typo. Just 'Yes, and..' it. 🙂

[frigid gust]

Go full old school text adventure like Zork or something... "You approach a wooded glen. What do you do?" >

[fallen zephyr]

W.

[frigid gust]

"There is a tree blocking your path to the West. What do you do?" >_

[fallen zephyr]

Berate Glen for having wood in my presence.

[frigid gust]

"Geln takes offense, and sends an army of Greydwarves to attack you. You are overwhelmed. Game over."

[near furnace]

sounds like a MUD game 😄

[fallen zephyr]

Ahh, man! Do I have to insert more coins now?

[frigid gust]

Exactly. MUDs were just BBS multiplayer versions of the single-player text adventures.

[fallen zephyr]

One day I'm going to find someone to just improv the crap out of an idea with me.

[frigid gust]

As a helper and given the channel, I need to keep some of this truncated and on-topic 😉

[coarse otter]

hhhhhhhhhh

imma try and get my girlfriend into this game, I thinks

[fallen zephyr]

I respect your discipline. Bravo you.

[half dragon]

Getting real damn close to driving out all the mobs out of my plains island. about 90% spawn proofed... damn this island is huge

(island, not a continent)

[pliant hatch]

Question:

Who else hears Baelin's voice adding: "Nice day for fishing, ain't it" when their character wakes up and you get the good morning text on your screen?

[barren oar]

whats the update on xbox

[vocal rivet]

I used to write and admin for one back in the day.

[low crypt]

hey do you think fish and bread is worth it if you build a fish farm and with 1.5x resource multiplier?

[sour fjord]

tbh most things are worth it for me with 1.5x on, depends on how much time you have

[low crypt]

i dont mind waiting there a bit but i dont want to have to fish, from what i looked up a good fish farm is a line of wood floors surrounded by 26 degree wooden roof tiles

layered a couple of times

[plush umbra]

Is the sea serpent an event spawned mob?

[vocal rivet]

Nope, just a natural spawn..

[low crypt]

no it spawns during night and during rain

not light rain, heavy rain

[pliant hatch]

What most people call "a storm". 👼

[low crypt]

yea

[plush umbra]

Ok ad thats only when its says im in the ocean biom

[pliant hatch]

The ones which spawn during nights will de-spawn at dawn. Unless they're noticed by you, iirc.
The ones that spawn during a storm won't despawn.

Boy, am I glad I don't use the resource modifier to get more items.
I'm already able to summon Bonemass 30 times. 😦
And not even done gathering every resource from this 2nd swamp I'm in.

[exotic cradle]

Wild idea, don't loot every bone 👀

[pliant hatch]

I'm not looking for them.
But I may drop them in the swamp every once in a while now I got about enough.

I do wish I could use them as bolts for the crossbow later. Like their better looking "relatives".

[kind pendant]

Guys doesn’t the raid “foul smell from the swamp” only happen before you defeat bonemass?!?!

[fallen zephyr]

It depends on how much fibre you have in your diet. 😛

[kind pendant]

😂

[fallen zephyr]

I'd advise checking the Wiki. There's a really good event progression table there.

[strange arrow]

no, it upgrades from skele's to blobs after i think

[plush umbra]

A foul smell from the swamp sounds like i need a shower🥴

[vocal rivet]

There are technically two different events with the same text confusingly.

[kind pendant]

Yep it was

[fair cairn]

before boner, its skeletons, post boner is blobs

[rare birch]

Man the mistland can be so brutal sometimes. Just got a Gajal and 3 ticks, 2 seekers and 1 seeker soldier at once. Took out everything but the Gjal. Time for a naked run

[frigid gust]

Been there. The gjall is always what will get me, adding more ticks to the fight when I'm busy elsewhere

[ornate sentinel]

Is there any passive gain for being stealthy in front of moving enemies who cannot see you, or can you only gain experience while moving in stealth?

[frigid gust]

You only gain experience specifically moving in stealth. You don't even have to be hiding from anything specific.

[ornate sentinel]

Because if it's only the latter, I'm surprised you can't gain some experience at a more passive rate, like 20% or something while staying still and unseen.

[frigid gust]

I "sneak" around while my chickens are laying eggs

[ornate sentinel]

Oh?! Not even hiding from anything in particular?

Well it does make gaining stealth experience all the better if I don't have to be stuck around my boar during the pouring rain 😅

Well, now I'm curious how many seconds it would take to go from 0 to 100 skill with standard XP gains.

[foggy glacier]

I don't think you gain stealth around tamed animals, only "enemies." (red bar)

[serene talon]

i only know of it working with dvergers

if other green bar creatures idk

[foggy glacier]

that's good to know.

[unique onyx]

you gain stealth just stealthed and moving, no animals or enemies needed

[dense rapids]

First time playing since the latest patch, and parts of my castle wall are breaking down. I'm quite sure they were stable enough last time I checked. But in the patch notes I can only find "Fixed inconsistent support calculations for “Cage floor” 1x1 piece" that has anything to do with support calculations, and there is no cage floor near this wall.

[nocturne wolf]

I thought you needed to be in range of something

[ornate sentinel]

Maybe the wiki is out of date?

[grizzled wing]

You need to be in range of something, homeboy is incorrect

[frigid gust]

I think tamed animals count, though. I've gained stealth levels in my chicken coop which is halfway up a Plains rock spire on a spawn-proofed island, so no chance of any enemies being anywhere in range.

[sour fjord]

you do gain sneak experience just sneaking and moving, but the gain rate is much faster when in range of an entity (enemy or tame) who is unaware of your presence

[unique onyx]

it's just sneaking and moving in base with no animals yeah

you could autorun if you had a key that restealthed you every time you hit max stam

[low crypt]

hey is there a setting that disables crafting table build radius?

as in you need to build a workbench to build in the surrounding area

[unique onyx]

yes, if you enable devcommands then type "nocost" in console, you'll be able to build whatever with no requirements

[tame yarrow]

deathsquitos do not belong in this game

[nocturne wolf]

Why not? They’re free arrows with wings, heading straight for your inventory.

[tame yarrow]

they could hide in bushes or shit like that

they're cheap as fuck

[nocturne wolf]

It only takes one hit to kill them, and they don’t do a ton of damage either

[tame yarrow]

they kill me instantly

I thought that was why they were called deathsquitos, because they 1-shot you

[nocturne wolf]

Is your character strong enough for plains? (Beaten moder?)

[tame yarrow]

no, I'm still on the swamps

[nocturne wolf]

Later enemies are incredibly strong towards early players. Try to avoid later biomes whenever possible, until you’re strong enough for them.

[tame yarrow]

well, I'm a bit stuck here right now. Fulings destroyed my longship, and I need to pick up the pieces to rebuild it

I thought one was a trader lol

but then when I got closer....well you know.

[nocturne wolf]

If you can make a root harnesk, that will make dealing with deathsquitos and spear fulings much easier. (Look out for torches though)

Then you just need to keep your distance from the melee fulings

[tame yarrow]

the fulings aren't hard to kill

they just swarmed my boat. there was 4 of them

woah lox's drop a lot of food

there are 2 lox's guarding my ship

I'm getting irritated

[frigid gust]

They're mostly blind and deaf, if you have a huntsman's bow you can attract only one at a time and handle them individually from high ground

[uncut bough]

i hate the stone golem, SO, MUCH

i purposefully wear root armor to not make the mountain challenge a cakewalk with my friend, but then i died twice today to golems, and i lost a bunch of skill

[wise latch]

Lost a bunch of skill huh

Would you say that you might be having a skill issue, then?

[uncut bough]

now i am just absolutely frustrated, the seed of my friend's server is cursed as hell, we fought at least 2 stone golem per day, drake everywhere, at least 6 drakes, and a bunch of wolves

[frigid gust]

You using your mace? Iron mace makes Golems much more manageable.

[late coral]

I had a stone golem spawn on my Moder... so I have to fight them same time. I am not pleased.

[nocturne wolf]

These spawns aren’t affected by the seed, except for drake nest one-time drake spawns

[uncut bough]

i use the frostner

[nocturne wolf]

Frost damage is bad against golems

[uncut bough]

i know but at least in my server, it is harder to come by that many golems in a day in mountain

[frigid gust]

Well that's silly. They're immune to frost damage, and spirit, and the Frostner does almost no blunt.

[late coral]

Fostner barely hurts them.

[fair cairn]

like damn, the level 4 iron mace makes short work of a stone golem when i made, didnt know itd be that big a upgrade

well technically a downgrade but compared to a frostner, the iron mace is a upgrade

[near furnace]

do you know which parts are crumbeling?

[uncut bough]

i need to know who came up with the idea of stone golem

[nocturne wolf]

So you can thank them for their amazing design skills, right?

Mountains would be very boring if it was just wolves and drakes during the day, and we wouldn’t have nice windows.

[near furnace]

why?

[tame yarrow]

so he can send them hate mail?

[near furnace]

I would advice to read #rules-and-info tho

[unique onyx]

https://tenor.com/view/beer-moe-szyslak-voodoo-doll-voodoo-moe-gif-7898201468103766088

[frigid gust]

Seriously, just make an iron mace: #memes-and-clips message

[tame yarrow]

it was a joke. I don't know that guy.

[sour fjord]

worst enemy tbh. zero reason to fight them, everything you can get from them comes from elsewhere easier in greater quantities, they're easy enough to run from, they're very annoying to fight

[tame yarrow]

is it weird that I'm less afraid of the plains than the swamp?

[uncut bough]

i have that one aight?

[nocturne wolf]

In our first world, my friend tamed a lox before killing the elder and died more doing that than I have in all my time playing valheim.

He also cleared a fuling village
Somehow

[tame yarrow]

fulings are pushovers tbh

[uncut bough]

worst thing that always when i take the portal to the mtn, the stone golem just happens to spawn nearby, so if i dont fight them off, they gonna wreck the shack with the portal

[nocturne wolf]

If you have an iron mace they only take a few hits to kill

[uncut bough]

i, have, iron mace, only that i don't have it on me cuz it is in another server

[nocturne wolf]

Careful jump attacks (to avoid damage) with a pickaxe might be faster than whatever you’re doing, but I haven’t tried it.

Mace + shield is better than pickaxe once you get that back, so you can parry

[sour fjord]

if you have the tekkers the best one is shield and hotswapping to pickaxe on parry

[tame yarrow]

the only real problem is when they stack up

[frigid gust]

Ehh... even knowing the techniques, it's easy to get in over your head if you're not careful.

[tame yarrow]

there are 2 reasons I hate the swamp. Reason number 1: water, water everywhere. Reason 2: spawners, spawners everywhere.

[uncut bough]

leeches, leeches everywhere

[tame yarrow]

your movement options are so limited

[uncut bough]

as a matter of fact, it could be in your room rn

[frigid gust]

Arrows can take out spawners with patience 😉 But yeah, they're tough when there are two draugr spawners and a bone pile all together, especially if you end up with a couple with stars

Leeches are a pain, but at least they don't attack your boat unless you're in it.

[tame yarrow]

that would be cancer

[frigid gust]

Most enemies do attack your boat if they see it. Leeches are one of the few exceptions. I think Deathsquitos will ignore the boat itself too.

[vocal rivet]

How would that improve the experience?

[nocturne wolf]

The last thing new players who think swamps are too hard need is a 3-star draugr elite chopping them into tiny pieces.

[tame yarrow]

honestly, I think crypts are the easiest part of the swamp xd

[nocturne wolf]

A dungeon doesn’t need these things to be a dungeon

[sour fjord]

the best experience in valheim can be had with a boat, best food and armour, a fishing rod, and all the time in the world

[vocal rivet]

Your suggestion would just add more of the same.

[nocturne wolf]

Dungeons are already combat experiences

If it’s too easy for you, try changing world modifiers

[sour fjord]

(and enough bait of all types)

[vocal rivet]

So... a different game?

I didn't see a mod say anything.

Yeah, because you're not ever intended to explore the entire map.

[nocturne wolf]

Flowers are just flowers, we are not moderators. Moderators have red usernames.

[tame yarrow]

what is happening in this chat right now

[vocal rivet]

A conversation?

[tame yarrow]

a really strange one

[vocal rivet]

Not especially.

Who said the game was perfect?

I swear you're seeing things i'm not.

[tame yarrow]

I also think dungeons are a little bland, but you haven't really suggested anything specific that would improve them.

higher star enemies are just tankier. that's not more substance

[vocal rivet]

Indeed.

[nocturne wolf]

Have you talked to Hildir yet?

[sour fjord]

Might have something to do with the fact the game isn't complete yet

[tame yarrow]

The game is literally in early access, and there are major updates still planned. it just kind of is true xD

no, that would be rust.

these things take time unless you want the developers to sleep at the office

[vocal rivet]

Not even close.

[tame yarrow]

no, why would I be baiting you?

[sour fjord]

so the wiki says puffers are found outside mistlands but i'm finding them all over the place

[tame yarrow]

oh yeah same, I saw a whole school of them earlier

[nocturne wolf]

I noticed this too, I’ve also seen them in normal ocean.

[sour fjord]

to be more specific, the wording used is "just offshore" which would imply pretty close to mistlands and i haven't been within load range of mistlands but have seen a few, caught 1 because it landed in my boat too

[sudden pawn]

Just as a note, 7 Days to Die is still in Early Access since 2013. So that might be the winner for longest EA.

[tame yarrow]

it grinds my gears when people complain about games not being finished after a few years. I waited 20 years for Metroid dread, and it's been 16 years since Metroid prime 3, 7 years sinced they announced the 4th game.

[vocal rivet]

Pufferfish spawn in Mistlands or Ocean.

[tame yarrow]

oh shit I forgot about that, good point.

[sour fjord]

i seen so many people asking for the update in here i just find it funny at this point. turn the difficulty up. go fishing, go exploring, go building, there's so much to do that can make the game novel again

[uncut bough]

how much silver is enough i wonder? for the entire mountain tier for 1 person

[nocturne wolf]

It depends on what weapons and armor you’re making

[azure yacht]

It's been only three years...

Seems like valheim is literally the only game you've ever played in that case

[sour fjord]

wiki states this, iirc it's about 700

[nocturne wolf]

Is that for everything at level 4?

[sour fjord]

i assume so? says "fully upgraded" needs 730 for all mountains, 743 for all biomes

[tame yarrow]

what's the dumbest thing you guys plan to do before being done with valheim? I'm going to make a treehouse so big that it makes the black forest live up to its name.

[sour fjord]

i don't think i'm gonna be done with the game before it's done. i plan to come back and try a playthrough every 2-4 updates - seems i got here just in time for ashlands, so i'll likely come back well after DN

[tame yarrow]

still, don't you want to do something insane? Valheim is such a fun sandbox

[grizzled wing]

Nomap is fun, haldor being so much rarer changes a lot of how i play. I'm enjoying it a lot so far

[sour fjord]

i suppose i might try some interesting builds using nocost or something like that
i just don't have the attention span to undertake a lot of things
i might also try joining a server or group of players or something, see what multiplayer has to offer in an organised group
i already sailed around the world in my first playthrough, seeing the almost-empty ashlands and entirely empty DN

[latent gorge]

There is ant#other game called 7days to die …

[vocal rivet]

We covered that.

[summer crane]

Did you guys cover Medieval Engineers? They have only been in EA since 2015 though

[fleet ingot]

today is the day ....right... GUys?

[merry pebble]

Maybe, maybe not, we have no idea.

[loud valve]

Today is definitely the day. The day you build a stadium.

[random token]

They’re really only counted as dungeons as a physical classification for instance spawning anyway…
I never felt like Valheim needed dungeons like the typical ones in other games. Aren’t the Hilder’s Request minibosses kind of closer to that concept though?

[exotic cradle]

[dreamy kiln]

Definitely not today but for sure in the next 70ish days

😎

[opal prairie]

Morning gjall.

[dense rapids]

it was the stones furthest on top of the wall. It's mostly stone wall, that I already had reinforced a bit with iron wood to make it just strong enough to be this high. The foundation is hidden from view and has been done by my friend, so it's not easy to see where the wall actually has earth as support. Now I solved it by just adding a bit more iron wood. I hope no other parts of our castle will break, because the whole castle is standing on random pillars of earth as foundation 😅

[near furnace]

ah

[stoic estuary]

So after midsommar break

Like around October

Id say

[exotic cradle]

12:2 isn't 10

[stoic estuary]

Ik but they always take a 3 month break when midsommar starts

And the update most likely will not be out before june so

[stoic estuary]

Dont get your hopes up

[stoic estuary]

Mistlands was supposed to come out in may but it came out in may but it came out in November

[exotic cradle]

? It's literally the pinned message in General chat, it's not me speculating

[stoic estuary]

Its gonna get delayed

[stoic estuary]

One of the reasons was the 3 month break

[exotic cradle]

Ok, you know better then

[stoic estuary]

Im not saying i know better but what happened in the past is not getting my hopes up

[near furnace]

if we say before first half of 2024, it means first half of 2024

[stoic estuary]

Why is my name bob!!!!!!

[near furnace]

because your name is basicly invisible

[opal prairie]

Bob's your uncle, right?

[near furnace]

so now you're bob

[stoic estuary]

Oh ok

[near furnace]

I'd change your PFP aswell if I could

[stoic estuary]

Well mistlands was also promised in the first half

[near furnace]

it never was promised

[stoic estuary]

And it came out in November

[stoic estuary]

Oh well then

[near furnace]

but now, we promise

[opal prairie]

You know who does a good Bob rendition?
Rowan atkinson.

[stoic estuary]

Well ill be waiting for the update. And coming from a dev gotta take that word

[opal prairie]

There was speculation about it, there was never a promise from the devs.

[exotic cradle]

my word wasn't good enough then, i see how it is

[near furnace]

I would belive Samaramon aswell since she has read what we wrote a few times also 😄

[stoic estuary]

Well i remembered wrong sorry abt that

[stoic estuary]

Sorry if i came out as harsh

[stoic estuary]

I've just been waiting for the update for so long i can't wait anymore

[vocal rivet]

Also, the summer break is 1 month, not 3.

Apart from all that you were spot on.

[stoic estuary]

Noo theres no atgeir emoji

Wah

[near furnace]

is it? 🤔

I don't have any planned vacation in May / june 😄

[normal vine]

dawg bruh

[vocal rivet]

Well, the standard is. Don't confuse things :p

[normal vine]

how am i supposed to dig muddy scrap piles that are under the sea level like

[half dragon]

well.. can't. digging up the scrap piles outside aren't exactly meant to be a reliable source of iron. Just some little extra if you like treasure hunting

[vocal rivet]

You can try raise the land with a hoe.

[half dragon]

does that do anything though, if it's already too deep to reach?

if just need a footing I'd rather use wood to create a footing

[normal vine]

kinda makes the wishbone useless for finding iron

[half dragon]

pretty much. silver is the main purpose of it, and digging up treasures in meadows ect.

[normal vine]

i kinda hate how every swamp biome that is not the home of bonemass is the size of a small basketball court with zero crypts

and its a pain in the ass to find one especially early game

[half dragon]

gotta get lucky with world generation. I found a swamp with a bit more than 20 cryptss fairly early on

but had no bonemass in it, had to sail much further

[normal vine]

if bonemass's shrine is there its like a guarantee that there'll be at least like 8 or 10 crypts there

[half dragon]

mine has only 3 crypts 😂

it spawned in a rather small swamp

[normal vine]

this world generation shit kinda freaky

[vocal rivet]

It's just RNG.

[normal vine]

encourages you to move your ass tbf

[half dragon]

if still need more iron, can only keep sailing and looking for more swamps to explore

[normal vine]

its a good thing

[pure condor]

ashlands when

[merry pebble]

Not really, bonemass swamp we found with a friend not long ago had 4 crypts i believe 😄

[merry pebble]

Ashlands will come in the first half of 2024
There will be a public test beta

[cunning shale]

As goblin says "HAWHEHEHAH"

[vocal vale]

I was lurking and had the thought

Granny Smiffe Apples

I’ll leave that with yall cya

[summer hinge]

https://tenor.com/view/the-office-david-wallace-get-out-gif-25240774

[dense steppe]

[half dragon]

Is dark wood the only wood that doesn't rot in the rain right now?

[vocal rivet]

Yep.

[half dragon]

and no floor version of it... for sure not going to build fishing areas with stone or constantly rotting wood. damn this will be expensive...

[vocal rivet]

I mean, it only goes as far as 50% health, so it's fine to leave.

[half dragon]

hate it how it looks when it's at 50% tho

[vocal rivet]

Eh, it's damp wood, what are you going to do?

[half dragon]

dip in tar I guess 😂

[summer hinge]

just gotta chime in to say I approve of your username. Atgeir best weapon

[half dragon]

Never stopped wielding it once I first got my hands on it. Was skeptical at first, just using the classic sword... but oh boy is it a fine a weapon

[summer hinge]

Indeed. And spin-to-win is just so fun

[vocal vale]

FOR DEMACIA

[half dragon]

is there a way to do even 1/4 spacing? 1/2 obviously by taking that small 1x1 wooden floor, but would be great if there's something to do 1/4

[summer crane]

Place a beam on a beam and snap to that maybe

[half dragon]

didn't work for the purpose. I'm trying to space it 1/4 horizontally

[idle storm]

wood doors don't work? Not really sure how deep they are exactly but they're shorter than a beam and have 3 snapping points pretty close together.

[cosmic owl]

Just figured, are Zil & Thungr duo boss from Haldir Sealed tower a reference to Lothric and Lorian, Lord of Cinder from dark souls 3 ?

[vocal rivet]

I wouldn't have thought so.

[summer crane]

beam against wall?

[half dragon]

beams snap to the corners of walls, no different from walls or floors

[summer crane]

yeah but you hold shift and free place

[half dragon]

corewood beams that are horizontal though snap differently since they go on top of stuff

[summer crane]

gives you something close

[half dragon]

either way, already solved the isssue by going 100% manual, and went with 2/5 spacing. realized that 1/4 spacing would have been too tight anyway

Also just realized that fish do not seem to spawn in shallow waters in plains...

screw it, I guess I'll just fish with a karve since building fishing docks doesn't seem like very viable

[idle storm]

Depends on the spot. Some spots don't seem to get respawns at all, some are always full of fish no matter how many you take out.
So basically fish a little first and see if you get respawns before building, but fishing next to a campfire for stam regen and with a roof in case of rain is nice.

[half dragon]

These damned loxes managed to break the crafting bench buried under their pen, which then caused fulings to spawn in with them and they went on a rampage. god I hate loxes

[half flax]

Lox = Mayhem, so need Allstate 🤣. (U.S. joke)

[opal prairie]

What do you think about Granny Smiffe apples tarte tatin with fresh whipped cream and bourbon vanilla ice cream?

[opal prairie]

Earthen wall with workbench on, then put stone slabs around it to hide it and corporate it in their pen is what I did after I had a similar scenario happen.

[fleet ingot]

nothing feels better than leveling a whole goblin village with fire magic

[vocal vale]

I have a few things to Google is what I think

[half dragon]

Fire magic is love, fire magic is (end of) life.

[mossy lance]

crazy the effort you have to go to in order to try to keep any tamed animal alive

[fleet ingot]

I hope ashlands fortresses arnt Closterphobic like mountain caves and black forest tombs

[opal prairie]

Yeah, part of the appeal though.

[mossy lance]

to me, that seems like the kind of thing that, appeal-wise, will vary wildly among players. could warrant a world setting. I can see that the challenge of standing between your pigs and all the forces of darkness could be some people's tea cup

[half dragon]

tamed animals would be far more bearable if they just didn't climb on top of each other like bunch of clowns

[mossy lance]

but I've failed so many times that now I just won't engage with any taming part of the game. which is really sad. I want tamed animals but I KNOW they will get murdered and I can't stop it, so its not worth the effort

if we could make them tankier or have something to build that would protect them, that would suit some people's play much better

[half dragon]

it's easy to keep them alive in safety of your own base. But problem is if they break their spawn protection keeping them alive like dumbass

[mossy lance]

how is there safety in your own base?

[half dragon]

by building a proper base

[mossy lance]

there are so many kinds of things that come specifically try to murder creatures in your base. with wildly different attack powers

[half dragon]

none of them can damage the base if they cannot even approach it

[mossy lance]

ranged ice, ranged poison, tiny bats, huge aoe slams. I'm not saying its impossible to make a base that can protect, but I claim it is not easy

unless you did some cheesy airgapped dyson sphere nonsense, they can approach your base.

[half dragon]

it is easy. done it many times. I just spawn protected a relatively big island. Time consuming but easy

[vocal vale]

I’ve never lost my tames funny enough and I’ve never done anything fancy to keep them alive

[half dragon]

another way is building moats, they won't get over those

[vocal vale]

Not even raised ground walls/moats

[mossy lance]

drakes wont get over moats. interesting

[half dragon]

then don't build in mountains...

[vocal vale]

Drake raid

[mossy lance]

do you have raids turned off? I dont build in mountains. the meadows can get very dangerous after you progress

[vocal vale]

But still a roof is enough to deal with that or just killing the drakes as the raid happens

[half dragon]

I've had a base that hasn't been raided for over 200 days. Don't even need to turn them off if you build your base properly

[kind pendant]

Can a single chicken lay an egg?

[frigid gust]

I just keep getting "You are being Hunted" raids. I spend so much time in my bases and it doesn't happen until I leave...

[frigid gust]

No. You need two of any tame animal to breed.

[kind pendant]

Oh lord.. so I need 3000 COINS?!?

[half dragon]

yup

[kind pendant]

That is sad..

[frigid gust]

Or go clear out a Sealed Tower for Hildir... there are like, 5 eggs in a chest at the bottom level.

[kind pendant]

Oh seriously?! That’s awesome

[half dragon]

3k is somewhat affordable after cleaning up a lot of crypts for iron, can never have too much iron

[kind pendant]

Only problem is that they’re incredibly far away, and I would most likely die.. lol

[frigid gust]

Yeah, it's not an easy fight 😛 But it's an option

[kind pendant]

I’ll probably go through more black forests and swamps for coins and valuables

I don’t feel like going across the map to get to the sealed tower lol

[half dragon]

as far I can tell swamp crypts are the best way to get coins for a long while

[kind pendant]

It’s quite the swim away

[half dragon]

fulings seem to be slower, but for many more fun way to get coins

[frigid gust]

Fulings are pretty reliable for me, and their villages. End up with probably 500+ after the chests and all the shamans and such when taking out a village

[half dragon]

haven't been very lucky with chests for coins. most of it been coming from the kills while raiding

[frigid gust]

Yeah, it's generally only 50-100 or so per chest, but it adds up after all the other kills.

[half dragon]

the worst village I've seen had 7 shamans, 6 zerkers... but only 4 chests to loot

did get plenty killing all the little shits tho

[dense rapids]

How much does a troll give?

[idle storm]

20-30 or so at 0 stars

[vocal vale]

Trolls feel bad for coin farming tbh

[idle storm]

Though troll caves usually have stuff like amber pearls and rubys lying around too.

My current world has so many troll caves i had a chest full of gold before even setting foot in the swamp.

[frigid gust]

Troll caves and burial chambers are the easiest way to find cash IMO. They're super common, and easy to handle. At this point I'm just collecting the cash though since I've bought everything I need, eventually you get quite a hoard going on.

[idle storm]

It's not a viking base unless you have a chest full of gold somewhere.

[frigid gust]

I've got a blackmetal chest full of valuables, 5-6 random piles, 20 or so stacks, and a couple of those decorative silver chests scattered around my room.

[half dragon]

god damn every single time. I almost finished building this roof, just finished building all the support pillars for it... and it starts raining. look at the rain ending once I finish this roof

[exotic cradle]

RITE of passage

[frigid gust]

Only because I used to be a newspaper editor in school, it's actually 'rite', as in a ritual 😉

[exotic cradle]

Oooh! In my defense I'm self-taught and some things I only know audibly 🥲 I'll edit it, ty!

[half dragon]

no building shall be spared from rain

[frigid gust]

For sure. You speak more languages than I do, and in general have better grammar and spelling than many native speakers I've met 😛

[fallen zephyr]

Ahh, man. A seeker flew over my base wall and destroyedf my may pole :/

[frigid gust]

Just a few months and you'll be able to rebuild it at least

[exotic cradle]

RARE occasion where I'd suggest just Hammering it >_> I'd be devastated!

[half dragon]

summer is here soon... it will be back

[vocal rivet]

Six weeks until the Midsummer season starts.

[half dragon]

idk about my country though, saw damn snow again yesterday

luckily none of it stayed on the ground

[pliant hatch]

Or right away when the "no-cost" modifier is turned on. (or using devcommands)

[frigid gust]

I had snow this morning and icy rain here in Colorado, too

[vocal rivet]

Your fault for living in nearly Canada.

[pliant hatch]

Well, I'm not, but I not only had rain coming from the North-East, but also the occasional moment with hail and ice-crystals among it.

Which makes me wonder if we'd get snow storms if / when The Frozen North is released as biome.

[half dragon]

oh... just got a great idea. I just noticed that my Island is close enough to build a bridgge connection to the mainland. But I first would need to know how high do I need to make the underpass to allow a longboat through?

[pliant hatch]

Wiki has information about the height of a mast from all ships.

[half dragon]

but is the height of mast same as the collision box?

I noticed you can get loxes through gates that in practise should be too low

[pliant hatch]

22m long x 6m wide x ~12m air draft (height above the water)
From wiki

So build it 14m high and you'll be good with normal weather.
In storms it'll be more tricky as the waves rise and fall.

[half dragon]

would be really nice if draw bridges were a thing

like... really nice. No more need for scuffed entrances if you want to have a way back in

[vocal rivet]

Been requested for a long time. They'd be very useful indeed.

[exotic cradle]

use doors

[vocal rivet]

You can't get horizontal doors.

[frigid gust]

Use some corewood beams or wood floors, destroy and reconstruct them 😛

[vocal rivet]

Oh, yes, that's such a viable alternative.

[frigid gust]

that's why I used the 😛 , it's supposed to be mocking 😉

[lusty crescent]

Devs should make catapults instead
Then you can put it under the water and launch across the bridge

Simple solutions

[buoyant lake]

Uhm

They did

[frigid gust]

https://tenor.com/view/viking-catapult-valhallamaxxing-gif-17327315483246149807

[half dragon]

hmm... just a random thought, but do enemies attack wooden pillars at all? I've been marking borders of spawn protection with them and I've never seen them attack them

might make for a viable bridge, maybe?

[frigid gust]

Nope. Not unless they're aggroed against you or a tame and can't get to you.

[half dragon]

they probably can't path find properly if your bridge is entirely made of beams right?

[frigid gust]

If you just make 1m spaced horizontal beams I think the enemies and tames can't path over it, but you can cross it fine. At least it used to be that way, haven't tested it recently.

[half flax]

So in the plains, son and I cleared a Fuling camp. Then suddenly “You are being Hunted” and so begins the wolf attack. Silver daggers and shields at the max, let the slaughter commence. Love this game!

[serene talon]

yeah the raids can come out of nowhere sometimes

[nocturne wolf]

It's always great if you get this before the camp is cleared, the wolves will help you fight the fulings.

[half flax]

As I understand every 46 minutes in game a random chance

[serene talon]

it can be fun but kinda goes on my nerves after the 3th raid on my little base

[half flax]

That would have been awesome. The camp was tough. 2 Lox, 4 Shaman, 3 1Star, 1 2Star, and maybe 8 or so little guys. We tried to draw them out 1-2 at a time. Then it went sideways. Awesome battle!

All with silver daggers, shield, troll armor.

Huntsman bow with needle arrows to draw them out

[formal kraken]

Sneak in, kill as many of the shamans with backstab, then retreat to a pre-selected spot where you can kite around object.

[vocal rivet]

20% chance with normal settings.

[half flax]

Yes, and based on what boss level you have finished. I think we have ours on “player” setting. Would have to look. I know it is more complicated and I am over simplifying it.

[vocal rivet]

Oh, player raids are different. I co-wrote the page on that and I'm STILL not sure it's right.

[half flax]

Tried drawing them out one by one with bow. Did do some damage to them. Lucky there were no brutes

[formal kraken]

Brutes actually help clear space to move so I like having them in the gaggle and save them for last.

[half flax]

It feels right, have had Trolls, wolves, greys

Anyway, was a great session co-op with my Son. Our second play through together and we love the game as it is, can only see it getting better. We play on Xbox

[frigid gust]

FYI, the Huntsman's bow has a lot lower noise radius than any other bow making it perfect for that kind of thing

[feral parrot]

Sup everyone. I’m in the Iron Age, doing absolute wooork in the swamps. Set up a base just outside that has a surtling farm, bone mass and 9 crypts.. I’ve almost got all the iron from the crypts.. think a max quality iron armor set and a maxed banded shield and iron mace will work? I’m using turnip soup, sausages and the honey mead for food. And a poison resist.. think it’ll be enough for bone mass?

I failed hard a few months ago when I got to the swamps. I sucked. This go around is going smooth and I’m about to try the boss.

[nocturne wolf]

Mead isn't food

Use black soup, sausages and turnip stew

you can swap the health food for serpent meat and serpent stew if you have killed one, but the normal food is still more than good enough

[feral parrot]

Whatever the 14/45 honey thing is. Takes like 8 strawberries and 6 blueberries to make 5

[nocturne wolf]

Tasty mead?

[feral parrot]

I use that, turnip stew and sausages

Any tricks to bonemass tho? I’m told to level out and raise the ground.. weak to blunt. Go in rested and with a poison resist going

[nocturne wolf]

Queen's jam ?

[pliant hatch]

You're not playing with mods, are you?
As there aren't any strawberries in this game.

[feral parrot]

Yeah. That’s it

[fallen zephyr]

Sounds like you got it 🙂

[half dragon]

they do look like strawberries tho xD

[feral parrot]

Raspberries.

[latent wraith]

People frequently refer to the raspberries as strawberries.

[nocturne wolf]

If it's your first time, you might want to use 2 health foods. It's entirely your choice though, of course.

[feral parrot]

Queens jam, sausages, and turnip stew. Hmm.. yeah that’s just 1 healthy huh.

[nocturne wolf]

Black soup can be made with a bloodbag, a turnip and honey. It's health food.

[feral parrot]

But maxed iron armor and weapon/shield is fine, right? What cloak is normal? I’m using a simple deer hide cloak

[nocturne wolf]

Swamp has no cloak, it doesn't matter. They don't grant much defence anyway.

[feral parrot]

Okay. Thats easy enough to farm

Okay cool. Probably gonna work on bonemass once I’ve completely farmed out the iron from this biome, but that’ll be soon.

I rushed in last play through and ultimately failed because I didn’t go in with good food, consistently never paid attention to the time of day, and rarely had my rested buff going.. and didn’t even have poison resist. It’s wild how much easier it is when.. you actually go in prepared

[pliant hatch]

Yeah, Big Ike already said that planning is everything.
About 85 years ago when he mentioned that.

[pliant hatch]

Time to haul iron!
Got my first 6 stacks and 7 iron loaded aboard my longship; off to the next 11 stacks.
And going to find that smoldering cavern after. Hope I won't run out of time today. 🙂

[buoyant lake]

It really is wild. Game is almost easy if you pay attention to these things. Then on very hard mode if you miss even one you’re dead lol

[proper prism]

Havent played in a year. Hows everyone doing?!

[wintry panther]

Do you always only have 300 weight limit to carry? Seems kinda low

[pliant hatch]

You can buy a special item at the trader to increase that weight by 50%

[serene talon]

if buy the belt from the trader you can increase it by 150

[proper prism]

What have I missed? Ashlands still due in june or something right?

[wintry panther]

yeah im like still pretty new so that might take awhile

[proper prism]

hmm.. might want to check pins and faqs btw

[hearty niche]

Go fight him already!!! 🙂

Worse case scenario ya die and gotta retrieve your body

[pliant hatch]

Yup.
We're all waiting for it. 🙂

[frigid gust]

You've got all the tricks that help out, the rest is all just execution

[proper prism]

Yeah. Me and my mate stopped playing exactly 1 year and 5 weeks ago pretty much after clearing Mistlands 😄

[wintry panther]

also is the meadows the only peaceful-ish biome where you can make a house without getting absolutely obliterated?

[pliant hatch]

May be faster as you think.
You can find him even before the first boss fight - if you're lucky - but he's in the biome that comes after the first boss fight.
And that fight can be done pretty early in the game.

[frigid gust]

Until you get into the latest stages, where the Swamps are the safest biome day or night time 😛

[loud valve]

You can make a house anywhere. Meadows is just relatively safer.

[wintry panther]

oh I mean I defeated the deer thing awhile ago

[proper prism]

Id advise against making a house in mistlands tho

[wintry panther]

yeah thats what im asking

[proper prism]

very annoying

[frigid gust]

Bah. Make it on top of a spire and it's absolutely lovely.

[wintry panther]

I tried in the dark forest and It got absolutely destroyed by a troll mid building

[loud valve]

Mistlands is about taking over existing houses imo

[proper prism]

I prefer the no interference lifestyle when building a forever home 😛

[pliant hatch]

In that case, get some copper and tin as well as the other items needed for a good boat and start exploring.
The trader will show up at your map if you get "close" to him.
Which means he'll show up as a bag even before the fog of war is lifted from that part of the map.

[loud valve]

No home is forever

[wintry panther]

a raft?

[frigid gust]

I've got a quick tour of my Mistlands comfy base in #building-screenshots , took a bit of work but the atmosphere is unmatched in the rest of the game

[proper prism]

fite me

[pliant hatch]

Nope, a boat. The Karve.
A raft is too slow to cross an ocean.

[wintry panther]

is meadows only on one part of the map or are there more randomly

[wintry panther]

might take awhile then

[pliant hatch]

There are more randomly.
Just like the other biomes.

[frigid gust]

There are more randomly, across the whole world.

[wintry panther]

when should I kill the elder though

[latent wraith]

When you feel you've "completed" the black forest and are ready to move no to the next biome.

[wintry panther]

is the next biome the snowy one or

[latent wraith]

The bosses are the end points of the biomes and help unlock important things in the next biome.

[pliant hatch]

The next biome after The Elder is the swamp

[wintry panther]

oh do the swamps have the crypts?

[pliant hatch]

They got the sunken crypts, yes.

[latent wraith]

You'll get a hint for what the next biome is from either the boss drop or other stuff you acquire im a biome. For biome 2 -> 3 one hint is the poison resistance mead but the main one is the boss drop.

[wintry panther]

and what are some good stuff i should have before the elder fight

[latent wraith]

The 3rd biome gives you something you need for the 4th biome, etc.

[pliant hatch]

Your weapons and armor to its maximum level.
Your workstations to its maximum level.
Which also means at least one kiln and one smelter.
A Karve for traveling and transporting your first ores if the Black Forest isn't close to your current base.
Good defences - like a moat or dirt walls - to protect your base

For the Elder itself maximum bow with fire arrows can do.
Sword or axe might do as well, if you want to go toe-to-toe with him.

You have some options to fight him, depending at where his altar is.

btw, with "weapons" I mean bronze ones.

Oh and make sure you got the right foods for you. Which means you need to grow carrots for certain.

[frigid gust]

The biggest factor for success in Valheim is your food production pipeline, and getting the best foods for your current biome. Focus on that, and everything else will flow from it.

[hearty niche]

I was saying this the other day. I think I could actually finish the game with a bronze ategir and biome-appropriate food.

[pliant hatch]

Iron loaded.
16 stacks of 30, 1 stack of 16.

I think that's going to be enough for a while. 🤔

[hearty niche]

I'm alweays surprised how quickly a literal boatload of iron gets used.

[pliant hatch]

I've already used 300 or so iron to max my mace, shield, bow, axe and pickaxe.
So what I got now is meant for building and later upgrades.

[loud valve]

Really depends on what you're doing with iron. I've only ever done 1 cartful and never mined more again

[odd marsh]

Over preparation nice like a true paranoid player indeed noice or judt a completionist

[odd marsh]

I never became the same after i experienced wonderland

[digital iron]

I always tend to be underprepared in every circumstances, which actually kinda pays off since

I have nearly 700 hours in this game already

And can beat anything barely with any shield or weapon

[odd marsh]

I have 500 and half of it is just me building and enjoying the boat ride

[loud valve]

I kinda want to play now, but I don't have a computer with me lol

[pliant hatch]

As said, I will need some iron for building. I'm planning to add iron grate to my chimney to make those bat-proof.
Going to need a load of iron for wood-iron poles and my chicken coop will be made from iron grates as well.
Iron's gone fast that way.

Also, with next biome I'm going to be able to upgrade my gear; so it's a good idea to have the iron ready for that as well.

[cobalt token]

Oh I missed the first time I went to the plains with black forest gear wondering "should I explore here next?" instakilled

[latent wraith]

That's a hint not to go there yet. :p

[half dragon]

a classic fly by death squito squad?

[brittle geyser]

if you get trees between him, most of his shots will hit them. when he throws the sprouts that come up, run out of the sprout patch

I clear the area around elder before spawning, removing stumps and shrubs, to make it easier to get around

also make extra portal nearby to get in and out quick

[nocturne wolf]

The pillars around the fire are great for avoiding his ranged attack because they're indestructible. He only does it if you're too far away, though.

[brittle geyser]

I fight bosses with bow

ranged is all I know :p

[nocturne wolf]

The third, fifth and sixth bosses are pierce resistant, so you'll have to try melee against them (Don't NEED to, of course)

[brittle geyser]

fire/cold arrows

[nocturne wolf]

Because of the pierce damage the bow itself deals, melee is still much more effective

[brittle geyser]

takes 2-300 arrows for moder

[frigid gust]

If you do just arrows. It takes 100-150 if you go engage with melee when she lands

[odd marsh]

Sailing makes me sleepy, such a calming sound

Till i hear the roar

[pliant hatch]

I just added a new dumb action to my list of Valheim stupidities:
Fighting in the Smoldering Tomb, while wearing root armor.
And not being able to craft the Barley-wine...... 🤦‍♂️

Oh well, guess it's just an extra challenge. 😄

[digital iron]

Fighting greydwarfs brutes kinda sucks

They literally have low “cooldown” and can swing their hands at great length

Also, should the skeleton archers have such accuracy? I think reducing damage isn’t enough, since they are the very first enemy you encounter with them having bows

I think its somewhat reasonable to gradually increase not only damage of the bow on archer enemies, but also accuracy of the shots

Having 2 variables instead of just increasing damage on next bow enemy (draugr archer) would have been more interesting

[odd helm]

I think the accuracy is on purpose, keeps any ranged enemy that you find an immediate priority target as you go up the biomes

[pliant hatch]

Challenge completed.
Altough it did force me to take one (minor) health potion.

[half dragon]

the very first ranged enemy would be grey dwarf and they have passed the storm trooper training with flying lack of color

[pliant hatch]

That thrown rock falls into a "even a blind man will strike his target at some point" category for me.

[nocturne wolf]

No, skeletons can spawn in meadows

[azure yacht]

(after bonemass is defeated)

Which happens much after encountering greydwarves

[latent wraith]

They can spawn by the dolmens from the start.

[azure yacht]

But it's harder to determine which is the first one considering both greydwarves and skeletons also spawn in BF

[azure yacht]

TIL

[frigid gust]

Only at night though IIRC

[latent wraith]

Yeah and it's far from a guaranteed spawn.

[humble frigate]

@polar jewel

[cold venture]

will there be freefly on servers? I got my own server with 2 friends and we would like to take nice screenshots or videos

[frigid gust]

By default no, that's not available. Cheats like that are only available on local play in general.

[light moat]

Pegster is a well of Valheim knowledge

[sour fjord]

Preface: I like the valheim portal system. Going through and being instantly safe is good, and it saves on hardware resources for sure, however...

How different and simultaneously more dangerous would the game be if they operated like Aperture portals instead of stargates? The views and screenshots you could get, the ease of transporting materials, and the tension of trying to close it behind you before those 17 fulings rushed your home base.

Obviously not a possibility because of how much you'd have to change in game

[old quail]

@glossy axle got paid by roy 😂

[lunar sapphire]

What?

[old quail]

sorry just an inside joke lol he will know what it means

[lunar sapphire]

Probably best for dms in that case as no one else here is in on the “inside joke”.

If there’s an issue within an in game server reach out with modmail to report the user - with evidence that they’re using this discord for that action of course.

[old quail]

nah no issues with any servers 😛 or anything payment related lol was legit just a joke

no action needed or anything 😛 ty for the quick reply tho. if there was a problem youd be on top of that 💯

[hollow crag]

Btw what's the difference with lox cape and wolf

[random token]

Swag

[foggy glacier]

just the look of it.

[hollow crag]

Ok

[random token]

And how deep it drags in the ocean under your boat

[foggy glacier]

lol yeah.

[random token]

I sure hope we get a world modifier option for that later, because the coolness is self-explanatory

[sinful pagoda]

greetings

[sour fjord]

the only thing is i think it would hurt the performance something fierce, not to mention the bugs you'd face trying to implement it, if it's even possible tbh

[sour fjord]

iirc all values are the same except durability, lox cape has more. you'll never notice this though, judging by the frequency most people repair their kit at

[random token]

It would have to be a big option in the starting menu, with that kind of warning next to it

[random token]

True… I never noticed cape failure until I started occasionally falling from the sky mid-glide

Not nearly as bad as having a tick jump out from nowhere while gliding through mountain trees and not being able to fight back… but close

[foggy glacier]

Yeah, I always get frustrated when I just get into ML and I only have enough cores for the refinery OR the black forge OR the Galdr table.

[jovial sleet]

Have they given an Ashland release date yet?

[vocal rivet]

Yep. By the end of this half of the year.

[uncut bough]

I hate not being able to find a huge patch of mountains

There are no frost cavern to find, and also a limited amount of silver vein

[sour fjord]

i find just sailing around and looking for the tallest mountain you can works fairly well

[sour fjord]

so gliding degrades feather cape? good to know in advance, thank you 😛

also, as much as i hate raids i love it when one comes in clutch for you - ran out of surtling cores, surtling raid happens. Thanks Odin

[quartz path]

anyone noticed a change in the ability of carts to handle going up stairs?

carts don't seem to be able to go up the stairs in our walkways where they used to be just fine

[summer crane]

Have they said why there is no DevCommands on MP?

[solemn matrix]

I assume security reasons

[summer crane]

Is it just the servers have no way of knowing which player owns it? Or does the server only know that it owns itself

[summer crane]

What possible security reasons is there with the server owner being able to mark players for using DevCommands?

[solemn matrix]

It's not creative mode, well.. it can be.. but to my knowledge if you have things like that enabled you are more susceptible to being hackzord

Maybe not, just an assumption.

[summer crane]

DevCommands most definitely do not let people send code to your computer for remote execution or anything like that

[solemn matrix]

Never said it did

[summer crane]

What is getting hacked to you then if it's not your PC getting compromised?

[solemn matrix]

Hacking has many forms

[summer crane]

That doesn't answer the question

[solemn matrix]

Cool

[summer crane]

In the context of playing on a valheim server, what would you consider getting hacked or how does that look to you?

[solemn matrix]

Devcommands aren't mp

So how does this regard a server?

[summer crane]

Am I having a stroke?

You should just request creative mode mp

[summer crane]

I am trying to figure out why you think adding DevCommands to be usable on the server makes people able to be hacked. And what you consider getting hacked in that context is

[solemn matrix]

I never said that. I said it may possibly compromise security

[summer crane]

Nay, you said that to your knowledge it makes people more susceptible to being hacked. What knowledge makes you think this and what do you think getting hacked is

[solemn matrix]

I don't want to answer that. If you want creative mp, just go to #suggestions

[vocal rivet]

It's this, a dedicated server owns itself so noone can have dev commands.

[vocal rivet]

We already have that using world modifiers.

[solemn matrix]

Since when 👀?

[vocal rivet]

About 6 months...

[solemn matrix]

Cool

[fleet ingot]

today is the day....right...guys?

[summer crane]

Nah, tomorrow for sure

[sour fjord]

anyone know when yagluth vegvisirs are going to be released?

[summer crane]

I ask myself that every time I play the game

[random token]

Ah, no no, it just degrades from hits like with armor, but if it breaks mid-flight it’s a death sentence unless you’re overstacked with health

I spent hours sailing without finding a way around the strip of deadly landmasses to the swamp boss ;-;

I have just been made to envision an eyeball typing 🤔

Thank you for that

[pliant radish]

I finally just looked at my world through a website. Is this taboo

[sour fjord]

eyeball, you're playing single player. taboo is whatever you want it to be

[random token]

Only if you feel like it breaks the experience for you

[pliant radish]

How did you know I'm single player

[sour fjord]

lucky guess actually, but most people are

[pliant radish]

also perfect I've gained the power to rationalize all my actions

haha I don't have friends to play the game with

[sour fjord]

especially if they're new to the discord

*500+ new recipes slide across your screen

[pliant radish]

LOL nah I just want to be able to navigate my world, I'd like to see the rest of the content as it was meant to be supplied

[sour fjord]

well this is the perfect place to make some. actually, #1024264966712340510 is, but you know what i mean
point at hand though, you do whatever makes the game fun for you to play.
i use a mapper and the occasional devcommands to ensure that the challenge suits me and I am having fun.
i don't spawn everything in and become god, but some do, and that's up to them
the beauty of creative survival games in single player is that the world is entirely your oyster, do what you want

[pliant radish]

... except for moving metal through teleports. takes way too long to get ores single player

You can choose to expose the map with dev commands too, but I’d say just checking it once through the site is the least cheaty method in comparison

[pliant radish]

Yeah I knew about the dev command but I don't want to use it because its more fun to map the world yourself, I just needed to find that one sliver of water that gives me access to the swamp boss
