valheim-chat

[merry pebble]

Heh, on the topic of OP XD

[hybrid isle]

Fair point, perhaps just better upgrades and designs?

[azure yacht]

Good for combat, not that much for exploration which would be the focus of asksvin in ashlands and feather In mistlands

[light moat]

The feather cape is still extremely good, yeah? The perks are pretty good

[tacit crystal]

You mean stats? More armor, cold res and less combat stamina usage

[pearl cloak]

that makes sense but i think it's an issue that a new player won't face, and we need to keep those in mind as well. we are only upset because something was taken from us, it's different if we never had it in the first place. personally, i would never see myself using those potions unless i was building? i guess? or maybe the jump height issue really does make traversing mistlands awful?

[azure yacht]

But feather is also very useful for building, and you can pair it with catapult to make no portal worlds much more manageable (even if way too into late game)

[merry pebble]

We were just fine traversing them before it got buffed 🙂 no problems there

[cobalt canyon]

yall ever compare 100 jump skill to 0?

[merry pebble]

Yeah 😄

[nocturne wolf]

It’s nothing to do with traversal, but I’m used to fighting with buffed jump height in ashlands, and I’m not able to fight as effectively there without it. Other biomes are fine because the enemies and attacks aren’t as tall.

[pearl cloak]

gotcha
that seems to be a pretty niche issue, has this come up a lot? because i dont need to jump much in combat (mage here lol)

[nocturne wolf]

Maybe I jump attack a little more than I need to, but I’m sure I’m not the only one.

[pearl cloak]

i love the feather cape because i can roleplay as a b52 bomber

[light moat]

Hare trophy drop rate to 20%, would that be a good change?

[cobalt canyon]

double jump mod go brrr

[merry pebble]

Yeah, few people complained, how much are those complaints about something practical or just because SOMETHING they liked got changed... i am not sure

[hybrid isle]

What if they just added enchantments to the game? Allow each player to selectively apply enchantments onto their gear, some may be able to be stacked, others not... solely because everyone has a different playstyle. By using enchantments, you could effectively allow each player to use gear that suits them

[cobalt canyon]

speak of the devil

[nocturne wolf]

Yes, it would be perfect then. If all the ingredients can be consistently collected, there would be no possibility of running out of mead, which is the reason I don’t like the nerf.

[azure yacht]

They should just remove the hare requirement at all...

Also that's a question for the ptb channels

[pearl cloak]

i feel like that would need a bit of an overhaul to the game's systems and intended path. gotta think about meadows, mountains, plains. the pattern seems to be: new biome, new fun stuff, so if enchantments are added i'd wonder when they would show up

[azure yacht]

Reach ashlands

[hybrid isle]

I mean that makes sense too, but what if instead just made various versions? Like Mincraft potions xD

[pearl cloak]

overall i think the mead issue will be settled as the player base gets used to the changes, though i see no issue with bumping the drop rate of the resource (unless its planned to be used in another, more helpful recipe)

[nocturne wolf]

In ashlands, flametal weapons can be crafted together with gems to grant certain effects.

[plush umbra]

[pearl cloak]

it BLEW MY MIND when i learned that. really great addition to the game

[keen cliff]

i just like no fall damage. so i guess i won't care too much about the other change

i'll be a little sad, i'm sure, but i'll get over it

[pearl cloak]

so in the way of enchantments, we have those gems. what if those gems could be used on every weapon throughout the game? say 2 per biome: plains maybe gives you a fire gem of some sort to make a sword with fire on it. food for thought, this isn't the suggestions channel 🙃

[hybrid isle]

I am in Ashlands haha

[keen cliff]

i think the intent is that the game adds more complexity over time.

[pearl cloak]

we are running out of biomes 😭
end result: update previous ones a bit to make recurrent playthroughs more varied and exciting

[keen cliff]

yep. the game is almost finished. i know, it's sad 🙂

a ton of complexity in early game hurts the new player experience. you really would want a more complex "new game+" type thing

[pearl cloak]

i like that you dont get magic until mistlands, but tbh im just gonna take whatever the devs throw at me because i love their game haha

[plush umbra]

oh same on the magic part

[pearl cloak]

i was so excited for the mistlands when i replayed the game. i went in spoiler-free but had just an inkling of a thought that there might've been magic :) so i rushed that shit LOL

literally saw the word "eitr" and was like hmmm

[plush umbra]

• expanding your options as you progress
• introducing magic in the most fitting and overtly magical biome yet
• keeping a grounded feel to the earlygame

[gray sand]

Remembers when the Mistlands was just barren land with webbed-up forestry.

[pearl cloak]

keeping a grounded feel to the earlygame
exactly

so if they do add anything to previous biomes, im sure it will still stick with the theme

[keen cliff]

yeah. you start punching trees and making stone axes. you end with crazy fireballs and troll summoning or lightning berserker axes, crafting ballista and catapults lol

it's a great progression

[gray sand]

"Grounded feel"

Considering you get dropped onto the ground to start the game...

I SEE WHAT YOU DID THERE!

[pearl cloak]

feels like working on a railroad then ending up like uhh that one guy with dual sledgehammers

[plush umbra]

the further you stray from the stones you were dropped off at, the less your environment looks like midgard~

[gray sand]

Was going to start a new game for the Wog Bitc... wait 😛
But then I realized Deep North will again fuck all my world gen up, so will just keep what I got for now.

[pearl cloak]

in any case, modders are gonna add magic from the moment you get off the crow and it'll be like a brand new game again with different progression 😍 im thinking something like terraria's calamity mod but for valheim

[gray sand]

🤐

[cobalt canyon]

That just makes Hugin seem that much worse, winged teleporting annoyance machine that he his

[plush umbra]

in all my thousands of hours on terraria i've still never touched mods

[pearl cloak]

anyone who disabled hugin before mistlands, did you know we have another crow :( because i didnt until my friend just nonchalantly mentioned him and i was like WHAT WHERE

[keen cliff]

because Hugin keeps appearing on skulls, if you don't talk to him, you can keep smacking him and he'll reappear right back on it 🙂

[pearl cloak]

same actually. i prefer the progression of terraria untouched :)

literally from the moment i saw hugin i was like... where's munin. and i thought they'd never add him

[plush umbra]

oh yea they've been meaning to add munin in some way since before hearth & home
-# was expecting something a little more creative than just some of hugin's tips being given by munin instead, but more raven is more raven, i'll appreciate every bit of it~

just not that hugin has suddenly become kind of a dick

[pearl cloak]

i want munin to hop by all the time and be like "you are doing well" or something not related to just tutorials/lore drops

i ignore hugin but im all ears for munin

[keen cliff]

some people are irrationally annoyed by the ravens

[pearl cloak]

like wouldnt it be so cool to go back to your base and find munin waiting for you just to be like "i appreciate you"

[cobalt canyon]

Hi

[keen cliff]

the number of people who turn them off and then ask questions here that are answered by stuff they tell you... lol

[plush umbra]

oh oh oh i wanna point out that ashlands added a new bird - ashcrows
and they're white like munin! only problem is that it's a crow, not a raven, so i don't know what the relation there is, feels like kind of a missed opportunity for them to not be called ash ravens now ;v;

[pearl cloak]

i didnt know about the ashcrows :)

[plush umbra]

i don't think i've ever seen ashcrows mentioned on this server, lemme see how many times it's been said..

...none.

[keen cliff]

i have been surprised by the birds in the ashlands and noticed them. kinda out of place

[pearl cloak]

i've been wanting an inventory system overhaul since i started playing the game. still do, and i hope it's coming because there are just way too many issues with the limited space, lack of equip slots, and weight limits on top of it all. disabling auto pickup just to get your items back feels like a workaround. getting encumbered because corpse run let you pick stuff up is what killed me last and made me take another break

[plush umbra]

we corvids adapt~
i will however judge their choice of location to adapt to

[pearl cloak]

LOL

[keen cliff]

hah

which book was that... Children of Time? with the super advanced corvids...

[pearl cloak]

tbf i was pretty distracted by the CHARRED UNDEAD ARMY that has harrassed me from the moment i stepped into there hahahaha

[cobalt canyon]

There was a conversation awhile back about whether or not smaller animals should be added to the game to make the environment more alive

consensus was no, this is purgatory. I still say the seaguls belong though freakin beach rats.

[light moat]

You can change the setting for your world so you don’t drop equipped gear, I play this way and it’s actually really nice.

[pearl cloak]

i do this as well!

[keen cliff]

aha, Children of Ruin was about the super advanced corvids

[pearl cloak]

it BARELY helps tbh

[quartz slate]

can someone help me out in the valheim help, id really appreciate it

[light moat]

Not trying to brag, but I’ve only died once since I’ve enabled it, so yeah I actually don’t have a lot of experience with it lol

[plush umbra]

it was once a normal realm like any other, hence why it has its own regular animals such as lox, necks, asksvin, hares, etc.
was just eventually cut off and repurposed into a prison for odin's enemies

[pearl cloak]

because, thinking logically, the thing that killed you, killed you while you had your gear in the first place. keep equipment just protects you while you're on your way over, from shit like surprise wolves or seekers

[keen cliff]

i've played through the game past beating Fader, so far without changing vanilla settings. i probably will stubbornly stick with the defaults until beating the "finished" game, and then consider changing settings for future replays

[nocturne wolf]

Can I get a broom in my name? To the left of the flame.

[pearl cloak]

the real issue comes when you get your stuff back and have to GTFO or fuckin fight like doom style lol

[plush umbra]

like that?~

[nocturne wolf]

Thanks!

[pearl cloak]

real hardcore, real pure experience, i respect that

i would've not touched settings were it not for the fact that solo grinding for 4 players is a bit time consuming

[keen cliff]

more stubborn than anything really, but i got this far this way, may as well complete it this way

[cobalt canyon]

Anyways with that in mind, let's run down the list of what's here shall we?

Deer? All those honkers belong here, that sound is cursed
Boar? Murder machines
Neck? Brainless lizards, about as much grey matter as the draugr to begin with
Leeches? GROSS

[keen cliff]

of man, if you were doing all the busy work for 4 players, yeah, i would turn up drop rates for farming and such

i have considered bumping drops to 1.5x even solo. just was thinking about it last week

[pearl cloak]

i did infinite build (im the main builder so i used to rely on my players to get resources at me so i dont have to go back and forth but they haven't been playing) and 1.5x drops

[cobalt canyon]

I run all mine on triple

[pearl cloak]

difficulty in games REALLY needs to be talked about more openly, because there are solutions to the problems, but no one wants to talk about it because... idk. people get pissed when i talk about difficulty for some reason and i still dont know why

[cobalt canyon]

#general message

[keen cliff]

i think it's acknowledged that certain parts of the game have difficulty spikes. but everything becomes solvable with more experience and knowledge, and then much easier as you build that biome's gear/food

[azure yacht]

Current difficulty slider is fine

If they were to add more complexity to enemies' AI and new movesets it should be another, separate toggle that can be enabled alongside changing the slider

[pearl cloak]

the thing is that everyone is different. everyone deserves and prefers a different amount of challenge. for most games (NOT all of them imo), you should be able to customize how much you want to suffer, be it MORE or less

so, options. and an open mind, because like i said before, people get too pissed when someone says "dark souls should have an easy mode" and even if you disagree it really shouldnt cause a fight

[keen cliff]

right. and valheim acknowledged that when they added all the world modifier settings. it was a good move

[pearl cloak]

im mostly talking about the community

[cobalt canyon]

I especially have a problem with massive health pools

[keen cliff]

you mean the "gaming community in general" ?

[pearl cloak]

yes, and the server here

[cobalt canyon]

Moder on v-hard? Arrow trash bin.

[nocturne wolf]

I don’t mind the damage of starred tanky enemies (trolls, charred warriors etc) but they take too long to kill

[pearl cloak]

it's that weird thing that's like "you're playing the game wrong" and "how dare you have fun differently than me"

[keen cliff]

i dunno man. i think people here are fine with anyone using the settings. i think we're tired of people complaining that ashlands is too hard on default settings. if you're not having fun, then tweak the settings

[pearl cloak]

you might be surprised. tell some rando you use infinite build and see what they say and mark it down. for me it's been 2 for 2

2 for 3, not enough people are here rn

[keen cliff]

it's a game. you paid your $20. you can have fun however you want

and it's basically a single player game really, so the way YOU have fun doesn't hurt how anyone else has fun

[pearl cloak]

speaking practically:

• people have gotten upset that i use infinite build
  it doesnt bother me; if someone tries to tell me im playing a game wrong i block them and move on with my life

because every time i bring up THAT people are like "dont be so sensitive ignore them" blah blah as if im seeking approval for how i have fun in my own game

[keen cliff]

meh. some people suck

[pearl cloak]

indeed

but ive run into the problem for years. it's why i stopped joining servers like this. dark souls was BADDDD for a while and it took a LONG TIME for people to stop responding to every slight slight criticism with "git gud" and then micdropping

[keen cliff]

it's fine to use infinite build. i would say, if you're sharing some amazing build screenshots, to say that you are using inifiite build.

[pearl cloak]

it's extremely freeing and fun. i dont have to dread building now and to make compromises conserve resources, i can experiment and build whatever i want

[keen cliff]

this server generally doesn't get so rude that "GIT GUD NOOOB" is the respons eo things 🙂

[pearl cloak]

they dont say git gud openly but they get pretty upset. i have a few screenshots

[keen cliff]

makes sense to me. and i think plenty of people build in infinite build mode and share their work

[vocal rivet]

I've seen it more than a few times.

[keen cliff]

yeah, i said generally. it happens. but i don't think it's the default at all

[pearl cloak]

because once we start seeing eye-to-eye on difficulty, maybe then we can talk about stuff like how moder is an arrow sponge and isn't fun in the slightest 😭

without people getting PISSED

[keen cliff]

last time i killed Moder I used wolves. whatever

[pearl cloak]

no you have to tell me im begging how do you make moder easier hahaha

[desert tangle]

so finding chitin is this just rng thing, hope i get lucky and find one while im sailing?

[hazy viper]

You will eventually see sooo sooo many of them.

[keen cliff]

step 1: tame 1star wolves. step 2: breed a lot of them. step 3: try to get them to the moder's altar, and lose a lot of them . step 4: curse. step 5: breed wolves at moder altar. step 6. waste a lot of time doing this and think you could have already killed moder. step 7. kill moder with wolves

[pearl cloak]

because fuck me if im gonna sit there for an hour dodging a stone golem and just mindlessly flinging arrows at her. she doesnt even have very dangerous attacks, it's boring, and she keeps breaking. she ran away from me once. a lower healthpool would make other options more viable and cut back on the jank because as the fight goes on there's a greater chance for stupid buggy janky shit happening

[keen cliff]

easy mode

[pearl cloak]

LMAO

[desert tangle]

are they mostly further out from my starter island?

[keen cliff]

i still want to go back and kill every boss with my asksvin.

[pearl cloak]

i feel like moder is something of a meme lol

"anyone tried killing moder with catapults" was a question earlier

[hazy viper]

Not sure if there's a radius limit, but you do need to sail through oceans (as opposed to shallows). Sail enough and you'll find one.

[cobalt canyon]

hi

[pearl cloak]

also bonemass is a well designed boss imo

fun and chaotic, a big piece of garbage, but i had fun beating him down with maces. took me too long to remember not to use bows against him

• eikthyr is fine. a good introduction to the game!
• elder is fun, bit easy. i dont get upset if i die to this boss at all
• bonemass says: "pay attention to the game mechanics or suffer"
• moder sucks ass
• yagluth............ nah
• queen was fun but took FOREVER to kill for my team (felt like a raid boss ngl)
• ashlands boss idk im scared :( (havent fought)

[cobalt canyon]

Someone should make a gif that changes this to a troll icon.

[gray sand]

The zero-damage fight is a well-designed boss?

Eik - 👍
Elder - 👍
Bone - 😴
Moder - 👍
Yag - 🤘
Queen - 🤘
Fader - 👍

[cobalt canyon]

🤨

[nocturne wolf]

Is 🤘 better or worse than 👍?

[gray sand]

Much better.

[cobalt canyon]

Looking at this I realize something

[gray sand]

Yag was the first fight where I was like "Fuck yes. Now THIS is a boss."

[cobalt canyon]

Yag is the only one without....an E.

[gray sand]

Yaegluth 😛

[nocturne wolf]

I’d rank the bosses like this:
Fader
Yagluth
Moder
Elder
Bonemass
Eikthyr
Queen (she’s a good boss but she killed me the second time I fought her, making her the only boss to ever kill me )

[gray sand]

Bonemass is so 😴 though 😦

Zero-damage fight.

[nocturne wolf]

Yes but Eikthyr has less health and damage than an enemy in the next biome

[gray sand]

Like Eikthyr is a zero-damage fight too, but he's the first boss, so the odds of you making it through without damage the first time are low.

[nocturne wolf]

I know he’s the first boss, but he just isn’t a real boss.

[gray sand]

He's good for introducing you to the concept of bosses.

[nocturne wolf]

He’s the reason players are often underprepared for the elder

[gray sand]

Players are the reasons players are underprepared for Elder. 🤷‍♂️

Although, Elder do be fun when you're in the middle of fighting and a giant from the blue man group shows up.

Can you imagine if Queen was outside?

She's doing her seeker spawns and a gjall shows up? 😭

[nocturne wolf]

I’ve seen a screenshot from someone else, she had fallen outside the dungeon.

[gray sand]

I spawned her betweeen a triple-growth pit and a Fuling Village one time just to watch 😄

[pearl cloak]

top to bottom, most-least fav or easiest to hardest?

[nocturne wolf]

Favourites at the top

And therefore easiest at the bottom (except queen)

[gray sand]

No edits. Queen easiest 😛

[pearl cloak]

faves with no regard for difficulty

1. queen
2. eikthyr
3. bonemass
4. elder
5. yag
6. moder

[nocturne wolf]

She is if you’re not spending all your eitr on skeletons like I was (not actually easiest but much easier). It was my first time getting into any challenging fight with magic and I had no idea what I was doing.

[light moat]

1. Fader
2. Moder
   2.5 Yagluth
3. Elder
4. Eikthyr
5. Queen
6. Bonemass

[pearl cloak]

queen was a long fight for my party of 3. mechanically simple, just kept getting in a bad spot and getting harassed by seekers (i hate ads in bosssfights :( ). tbf i should not have let my other friend fight her, i kinda threw him in with the wolves. he had a lot of fun though

[pearl cloak]

full thoughts on moder?

[gray sand]

Oh if we doing ordered lists:

Yag
Queen
Fader
Elder
Moder
Eikthyr
Bonemass

[light moat]

I’ve always had a really great experince fighting her, feel she’s really balanced and the fight is super cinematic. I’ve never had her get stuck on terrain or anything. (Moder)

Dragons are just cool 😎

[nocturne wolf]

Moder’s fight is a great way to end the first half of valheim, she’s so much more than any boss you’ve faced previously.

[gray sand]

Hardest part of Queen my first time was I didn't bring enough weapons and they all broke 😭

So I died trying to punch her because I thought she would just regen if I left.

[light moat]

Fader is way too epic of a fight to not have at number 1 for me lol

Bonemass is the only boss I actively dislike. Don’t like his resistances

[gray sand]

He dies to wooden club pretty easily 😉

[azure yacht]

Fader also has the best theme

[pearl cloak]

i feel like my moder fights have just been awful

[gray sand]

Moder can be horrible depending on the geography rng.

[nocturne wolf]

Time for more lists?

[azure yacht]

I really love the music building up to him finally appearing. So cinematic

[pearl cloak]

with how much i struggle in the ashlands, the fader boss really intimidates me

[gray sand]

If you get a good seed that has a flat location next to her, you just wait for her to land and pound the damage in.

But if it's all... mountain-y. Yeah that's no fun.

[pearl cloak]

the mountain i fought moder on last was pretty awful. she hit me a few times but kept running away and getting stuck on everything

[gray sand]

oof

[pearl cloak]

and i wasnt gonna search for another one because i already couldnt do the first one since it was surrounded by mists

[gray sand]

Not fun.

[azure yacht]

Boss themes?

1. Fader
2. Elder
3. Yagluth
4. Eikthyr
5. Queen
6. moder
7. Bonemass

[gray sand]

Bosses aside, Mistlands that are high enough elevation to have mountain bits layered on top of the misty bits 👨‍🍳 💋 one of the prettiest places to build.

[light moat]

Agree with this list perfectly lol

[pearl cloak]

oh yeah my first mistlands had a mountain in the middle. it was nice, because id go up there and just be free of mist for a bit. was peaceful as hell

[gray sand]

Really pretty views out your front door if you build up there.

And I say that as a Plains man.

[cobalt canyon]

I keep wondering how they're going to integrate mountains & deep north

[azure yacht]

Probably by removing mountains from DN

[gray sand]

Frost Arrow v2 to continue it being the uncontested best arrow 😛

[nocturne wolf]

In what way? They’re completely different biomes.

[cobalt canyon]

Geographically

Rn you go up there and mountains are all over

[vocal rivet]

Ah, see there are mountains and Mountains.

[azure yacht]

Yeah, almost as if the biome was not developed...

[gray sand]

Wouldn't be surprised to see the devs fucking around with snow elements.

[vocal rivet]

It'll be hard to make it too similar to Mountains though. It can't just be cold with occasional blizzards. And difficult terrain (snowshoes anyone) is just going to piss people off.

[cobalt canyon]

Hey I'd go for a fight against environment instead of enemies

[gray sand]

Yeah but "ice stuff" is incredibly overdone in snow biomes.

Actual snow objects has a lot of different potentials.

[lunar sapphire]

Give me crevasses filled with frozen bees

[azure yacht]

I essentially suggested that

[pearl cloak]

there's a concept of "the hottest flame" being found at the heart of the coldest places. so there's definitely room for creativity

dont remember what that's from and idk much about norse mythology

[gray sand]

SO WE CAN SAVE THEM RIGHT?!?!

[lunar sapphire]

Absolutely

[azure yacht]

Ashlands was themed around fighting enemies, DN should be themed around fighting the biome itself

[gray sand]

[nocturne wolf]

I’m hoping for some lighting enemies in deep north

[azure yacht]

But doesn't mean combat would be removed completely

[gray sand]

Heh, for the boss.

We have Moder and Fader, the dragons.
We have Elder.

So DN boss is Younger. Short fat lil tree boss 😄

[pearl cloak]

i would love to see a complete switchup from the ashlands.
ashlands: enemies everywhere
deep north: dead silent, depressing. everything is dead except for the occasional (1) troll-level enemy or (2) scavengers (still need a way to make it hard obv)

oh, fader is... huh. im dumb

[gray sand]

You no dumb 🫂

[nocturne wolf]

It doesn’t need to be just one boss

[gray sand]

Younglings?

So we go up there and become Anakin?

[cobalt canyon]

Careful. Remember, we do have a fire sword now...

[nocturne wolf]

It could be anything, but this is Valheim’s last chance for multiple bosses at once.

[azure yacht]

Like I said, I essentially suggested all of this already

[rich ice]

I really hope a toboggan gets added.

[pearl cloak]

yes i was agree ing?

i had the thought way before i joined this server anyways

[azure yacht]

Just commenting on that

[azure yacht]

I do find this intriguing.

That also removes the possibility of an ocean boss but meh

[pearl cloak]

so its cool that you had a similar idea totally seperately, and that we ran into eachother. been having a lot of coincidences lately...

valheim ornstein and smough

[azure yacht]

Ocean doesn't need a boss, just being filled with stuff.

A mini boss, however, seems more fitting

[desert tangle]

wat was ur weapon of choice?

[cobalt canyon]

R-l--s- th- -r-k-n?

[frail wagon]

i really hope we get goat's in deep north

[vocal rivet]

No.

[frail wagon]

Like a mega serpent?

[pearl cloak]

skele summons and fireball staff, ice staff for ads as needed

oh actually
i switched to just hitting her with the fire dot then doing ice staff

we also forgot potions existed...

i was able to do great dps but had to keep stopping to help with ads. all in all it was a fun fight

[azure yacht]

Hopefully not.

At least, unless they give it unique movesets and behaviour instead of just "serpent but bigger and stronger"

[cobalt canyon]

Could have a leviathan rise up (those chitin shells)

[azure yacht]

I could get behind a hostile leviathan depending on how they do it

[cobalt canyon]

Or a ghost ship captain

Dunno what you get out of either of those things though

[pearl cloak]

find a mon from norse religion

[unkempt marten]

do we know ish when new update drops?

[vocal rivet]

Well, it's in PTB now already.

[gray sand]

insert horde of people who dislike magic users and believe only "true vikings" play the game correctly 😂

[vocal rivet]

it's literally game about undead Vikings defeating dragons and giant trees, I don't think magic is much of a stretch.

[gray sand]

Skeleton staff upgrade where you can raise your friends from the dead? 👀

[unkempt marten]

iron bars gets damaged by eitir? (tthe green balls that shoots sparks

[trail pelican]

no--SHOULDN'T

if it is, that's new, and probs bug

[gray sand]

Why shouldn't?
Afaik everything pre-marble takes damage from it.

[trail pelican]

what i mean is, it's programmed that way currently/before

so it's a new change, if so--and not one in PTB notes or anything--hence, probs, bug if he expeirenced

metal or at least the copper & iron 'cage' build piecere also were one of the things immune to the eitr 'radiation' damage

[unkempt marten]

i not saying it dose, i just wonder cuz idk XD

[trail pelican]

that's why this #screenshots message works

[unkempt marten]

O!

[tepid prawn]

No it doesn't take damage from eitr, did you see it do damage or is it just damaged? It does take rain damage down to 50% though

[blissful kiln]

Experienced player coming to ask for curiousity: is there way to kill trolls faster than fire arrows?

[cedar sparrow]

At what stage of the game?

[blissful kiln]

In the beginning

Troll armor is handy there

[gray sand]

Knives.

[cedar sparrow]

Use fire. Stock up on wood and stone, equip your hammer, and place camp-fires at the troll's feet

[gray sand]

Atgeir.
Sword/Axe + Buckler

[plush umbra]

was gonna say, no idea if it's the fastest, but i always do it with a flint knife and dodgerolls

too lazy to pay for arrows

[cedar sparrow]

Sneaking up and using a knife is a good way to get a chunk of health off

[gray sand]

Knives if you get the stealth hit off are unmatched.

Anything with a parry bonus also wins.

[blissful kiln]

Welp I'd day the fire arrows are way more handy there

[plush umbra]

half the time i don't even bother with the sneaking

[gray sand]

Arrows work, but are slow unless you're returning with a higher-biome bow + better arrows.

[blissful kiln]

Takes off big chunks off hp and can deal dmg in between

[cedar sparrow]

The spear isn't bad either, if you don't throw it

[gray sand]

Atgeir probably fastest because pierce + parry.

[blissful kiln]

What's atgeir

[gray sand]

A weapon.

[plush umbra]

what's the benefit of dealing damage in between

[blissful kiln]

I play on different language

[cedar sparrow]

It depends on the terrain and what your abilities are. I never mastered spears, but a friend is lethal with them

[gray sand]

Two-handed spear thing.

[pearl cloak]

What's a horse

[cedar sparrow]

We're talking early game here though

[blissful kiln]

If you get distracted or if you want to keep dealing dmg 24/7

[foggy glacier]

trolls are very weak to pierce in the head. flinthead arrows and aim good.

[plush umbra]

but that changes nothing

[gray sand]

Type of vocal tone when one's throat is dry or injured 😉

[foggy glacier]

double damage with the flint arrow.

[plush umbra]

instant damage is always gonna be better

[blissful kiln]

I'd still say fire is more handy here

[foggy glacier]

only if you're not aiming right.

[pearl cloak]

Oh sweet thank you that sounds epic

[blissful kiln]

I aim between eyes

[gray sand]

😁

[foggy glacier]

you get better dps if you can hit the head.

[cedar sparrow]

Spelled HOARSE

Lol

[gray sand]

No, those are people you pay for... favors.

[cedar sparrow]

couldn't resist

[blissful kiln]

I usually kill troll with 8 arrows at the beginning

[gray sand]

When you find the translation for atgeir, give it a try.

[pearl cloak]

Those are called me

[cedar sparrow]

Yikes! Wish I could do it that fast!

[blissful kiln]

Ik it now but I meant before that

[blissful kiln]

It's just one minute thing to kill troll

[cedar sparrow]

I'm better with camp-fires, or a knife sneak attack

[gray sand]

Killing Elder with torches is fun.

[cedar sparrow]

My aim is terrible with the crude bow 🤣

[blissful kiln]

I actually keep the wooden club through the first 3 bosses

[gray sand]

If you're good at sneaking, yes.

[cedar sparrow]

It is! Eikthyr too

[pearl cloak]

I might have to try it out

[blissful kiln]

I just craft spear and attack

[gray sand]

Become Stealth.

[cedar sparrow]

I love knives!

[plush umbra]

they carry me earlygame, then mountains leave kind of a gap because the silver knife is a joke in terms of balancing relative to other silver weapons and while the knives after mountains are much better again, i always forget to give them a shot in normal progression

[cedar sparrow]

Wish they had knives late game

[blissful kiln]

Spear is more handy at first than the bow

[cedar sparrow]

I try for the abyssal razor ASAP

So good against everything up to getting silver

[gray sand]

Deep North better have the wolverine claws mk2 is all I'm saying.

[blissful kiln]

The spinning spear is good at mountains

[plush umbra]

i love that name for atgeirs

[gray sand]

Language is fun.

[blissful kiln]

I AIN'T MEMORISING THAT NAME 😭😭

[plush umbra]

oh you came up with a better one don't you worry

[gray sand]

Atgeirs are one of the overall best weapons in the game.

[blissful kiln]

Himmin afl

[cedar sparrow]

I'm kinda attached to my shield 🤣

[gray sand]

Himminmminminmmnim Afl?

[blissful kiln]

Himmin afl is best mistlands weapon legit

[cedar sparrow]

Mr Drippy

[gray sand]

Eh

Himmin is tied with Mistwalker

[plush umbra]

same 🤝

[gray sand]

Jotun's Bane is a joke though 😭

[cedar sparrow]

I love the Mistwalker

[pearl cloak]

Gave my friend the himmin afl 🥰

[blissful kiln]

Yeah but we both know which is better when there's 10 ticks

[gray sand]

Demolisher

[cedar sparrow]

Ooze bombs

[plush umbra]

yea i called the silver knife a joke earlier but at least that one still kinda feels like a post-swamp weapon

[cedar sparrow]

Great for ticks and fulings

[gray sand]

Krom fucking slaps too.
But most people will skip it because of the bronze cost.

[blissful kiln]

Actually the normal root armor can get through montains, plains and mistlands

[cedar sparrow]

Or the fire stick magic thingy

Love my harnesk!

[blissful kiln]

Good name

[gray sand]

You... give out Himmins?

Reason #1 I may try multiplayer.

[keen cliff]

Demolisher is amazing in infested mines. Really only bad against soldiers, and even then it can often cheese them.

[cedar sparrow]

Do it!!!

[blissful kiln]

Fun fact: I got over 30 extractors working

[cedar sparrow]

Oh wow!

[gray sand]

Demolisher makes the Ashlands simple.
But they still nerfed the biome like they always do...

[blissful kiln]

LOL

[plush umbra]

i tend to only put up one and then abuse my endless well of patience to make do

[vocal rivet]

We've had two new biomes. That's all.

[pearl cloak]

You got patience? Gimme some!!

[cedar sparrow]

I have two. It's a portal free world and no more roots close by

[gray sand]

2 for 2 still counts as always 😉

[cedar sparrow]

😂

[plush umbra]

gosh i wish i could, it leads to so much micro-procrastination

[vocal rivet]

I don't think it's enough evidence. Besides, are you saying Ashlands didn't need it?

[gray sand]

That's better than micro-transactionation!

[blissful kiln]

Can ppl tell me is frostner still meta in ashlands?

[cedar sparrow]

Ashlands is both terrifying and addictive 🤣

[gray sand]

Mistwalker is just a straight upgrade.

[burnt glen]

It's decent but there are definitely better weapons.

[cedar sparrow]

ker-splat

[blissful kiln]

Got mage level 100

[plush umbra]

imo it is still good
the knockback finally becomes useful for crowd management as you're now fighting enemies that won't take deliberate breaks between attacks anyway, and the stamina cost is significantly lower than any mistlands weapon's

[cedar sparrow]

Mistwalker is a little better than frosty, but the kickback is welcome

[plush umbra]

deep north has got to be what finally lays frostner to rest

[blissful kiln]

Exactly my point

[cedar sparrow]

I carry both, until I get ashy weapons

[gray sand]

Hardest of disagrees.

The addition of nuclear knockback on Frostner is a straight nerf imo and why I haven't touched the weapon since that change.

[blissful kiln]

Frostner is really handy weapon wish I could make out with the guy who invented frostner

[gray sand]

OG Frostner was awesome.
Then they massacred my boy.

[plush umbra]

i can understand that with fuling who will just dance around outside of your attack range for 80% of the time they're aggrod, but if you've got like 4 charred warriors walking up to you with no intention of taking a break, some knockback becomes very beneficial

[blissful kiln]

It's still pretty good

[cedar sparrow]

I dunno, frosty got me out of plenty of pickles in the ashlands

[gray sand]

You could actually hit your target multiple times.

Now you hit, walk, hit, walk, hit...

My weapon should not prevent me from killing things.

[plush umbra]

granted, i haven't seen post-nerf spawnrates so many new ashlands are so tame that frostner's knockback is kind of annoying again

[gray sand]

Atgeir against Fulings.

Just kite them all together and spin to win.

[cedar sparrow]

I'm only recently back there again, so don't have much point for comparison either

[gray sand]

It was completely fine before.

[plush umbra]

well, i don't know!
i just heard with patch after patch, things went down

[vocal rivet]

The first nerf was too big, now it's a compromise between the two.

[blissful kiln]

Why tf are fulings so damn hard tho fr?

[gray sand]

They are made of blackmetal.

[cedar sparrow]

It was pretty brutal before, IMHO. I'm relatively new to gaming, and did a LOT of dying!

[blissful kiln]

Like compared to seekers for example they are hard

[plush umbra]

~~i got my own kind of ashlands PTSD ~~
hoping to overcome that with scarlet this time~

[gray sand]

You would not be in the majority with that opinion.

[blissful kiln]

Welp I find seekers easy, killed 2 star soldier on ease

[gray sand]

The worst part of Ashlands is just the massive jutting rocks that make sailing a pain in the ass.

[vocal rivet]

Compared to the next biome's enemies they are not as tough, that would make no sense.

[cedar sparrow]

Fulings are fun. Seekers, not so much

[cedar sparrow]

With the biggest boat!

[gray sand]

Seekers do look pretty with their starred colors.

[vocal rivet]

Yeah, no idea why the boat is still so large.

[blissful kiln]

I got 2 chests seeker meat

[gray sand]

Seeker Meat? You mean free coal?

[burnt glen]

I had a pair of thundering berserker axes and it was probably quicker to go through a Fuling village with that than around it.

[gusty thorn]

👋

[cedar sparrow]

I like the size for voyages, but not having to sail it around those rocks!

[vocal rivet]

Which is literally its only purpose.

[cedar sparrow]

I know! Ugh!

[gray sand]

It's 1:1 if you burn it, which makes it better than using the Obliterator.

[cedar sparrow]

Pity you can't burn blood clots too

[gray sand]

Need to see if there is a devcommand for deleteobject specific to those spires.

[cedar sparrow]

🤣

[plush umbra]

of course you can specify their ID with forcedelete

[gray sand]

The water itself burns your other boats. Is that not barrier to entry enough?

[blissful kiln]

Anyone has visited the 8th biome?

[plush umbra]

i'd give the ID but i don't have it on hand

[gray sand]

If you find it, message me 🙏

[cedar sparrow]

Try a no portal world. I'm still trying to get to my tombstone lol

[plush umbra]

mind that fracturable rocks (and other similar objects) have to be forcedeleted twice each because the first deletion replaces them with their fractured version
(thankfully the ID of the fractured object is the same name but with "_frac" at the end, so the same forcedelete specifications should catch it as well)

[blissful kiln]

There's 8th biome coming tho

[gray sand]

No portal?

But then you don't get the song at the end.

[thin glade]

Just finished figuring the ashlands out recently, just wanted to say that i was NOT expecting stone portals to be a thing. They feel just... so strong. I mean with flametal being a thing, i get it. Probably for creative players too that dont like toting metal.

But really?? Metal teleportation??? Thats crazy

[gray sand]

Stone Portals are OP.

Like why tell people metals aren't meant to be transported for balance reasons for YEARS and then add metal teleporters...

[thin glade]

Real, i still can hardly believe it. After *years of playing without them then coming back after like a year break, its a big mindset changer.

[blissful kiln]

Anything to say?

[thin glade]

IKR!?

[cedar sparrow]

It was a welcome addition to the Ashlands, where sailing a boat full of metal through those spires would be no fun

[plush umbra]

to be fair, it's the second to last biome and the portal requires a stonecutter to be built - iron

[gray sand]

Guess they ran out of glue when trying to stick to their guns 🤷‍♂️

[cedar sparrow]

It was perfect timing

[thin glade]

Ive seen a lot of mixed responses about those spires since coming back, but they kinda saved me NGL.

My friend and i wanted to explore before beating queen, had no clue the water would kill our boat 0_0 managed to drop a portal on one before our boat sank to heat or fire damage.

[plush umbra]

everything up to mid ashlands remains free of metal teleportation, and it will no doubt stay that way

[cedar sparrow]

I love sailing around, but those spires
shudder

[gray sand]

So the spires are the problem.
Fixable without adding overpowered tech.

[burnt glen]

The stone portals look weird, a little off from the valheim aesthetic imo.

[blissful kiln]

The stone portals aren't that OP just a spare of time more like

[gray sand]

O
P

[blissful kiln]

Also big asf

[thin glade]

Speaking of feather capes, ive heard rumours that they got nerfed on PTB?? Is that true?

[plush umbra]

oh gosh yea i dont even wanna think about making a stone portal hub

[thin glade]

Im nhot a huge fan of feather capes myself, but i didnt think they were THAT strong.

[gray sand]

The fact stone portals can link to normal portals is also dumb imo

[plush umbra]

but functionality remains 50/50 in such a case

[thin glade]

This is something i agree with. The metal teleportation i understand, but them working one way (at least for metals) is strong imo./

[blissful kiln]

They are really good. Ppl could fly across the map like superman if using catapult

[burnt glen]

True, I've never made one in the game besides trying it the first time tbh.

[plush umbra]

i had to add such a massive grausten box to my ashlands outpost just to keep that thing hidden

[gray sand]

<- old enough to remember when Superman couldn't fly.

[cedar sparrow]

No. I like the spires. You don't have to use the portals if you don't want to. I think they're ideal. The size and the need for a stonecutter means they aren't so easy to cart around in your inventory, but they help in an isolated biome

[blissful kiln]

I'm old enough to remember when Godzilla could XD

[gray sand]

People like what they like 🤷‍♂️

[thin glade]

Is it just me, or is grausten like absurdly expensive for building??

like 12 per wall is wild, they are the only reason i LOVE the lava slimes. Them exploding rocks or spires for me makes farming it doable.

[plush umbra]

not just you 🫂

[vocal rivet]

Yeah, but there's so much of it.

[cedar sparrow]

I put a stone portal in each fortress I raid

[gray sand]

Expensive building in a game with infinite resources? 👀

[vocal rivet]

Still possible.

[blissful kiln]

I built 378 castles each covering entire island

[plush umbra]

a wall made of stone that's literally thicker, and which's resource model is smaller than grausten's, costs a third of the material.
i think it's fair to find that a bit weird.

[cedar sparrow]

Grausten isn't infinite, though there's so much of it that I turn auto pick up off in the ashlands 🤣

[thin glade]

Okay infinite is fair, but im not personally a fan of having to venture much further into biomes or destroying their natural looks. Black forest is downright beautiful if you can ignore ogre cheeks every 5 seconds.

[gray sand]

So hop through the unity into another world, farm the crap out of it and bring all the mats back to your world?

[blissful kiln]

Wouldn't change anything

[vocal rivet]

Stone portals aren't an issue as you can only get them once you've practically finished the game.

[burnt glen]

There's still one more biome to go.

[blissful kiln]

Ye

[vocal rivet]

That's why I said practically genius.

[plush umbra]

yea but i don't think they want metal hauls from the very ends of the world to be a focus like the earlygame ones were

[cedar sparrow]

I prefer to play each world in isolation to one another.

[plush umbra]

people already complain about those, i see no need to make them even longer at the endgame

[gray sand]

We are different people 🤷‍♂️

[thin glade]

Yeah this is an approach ive started using recently, but im still used to other Survival game mindsets where inventories are world specific.

More and more recently, when im low on hp in a duel, i find myself logging out and using a pocket dimension world to store heavy items, or healup, and it kinda feels like cheating yk???

It also resets debuffs, mead timers, etc. The rested buff doesnt carry over thankfully, but it feels kinda cheaty. Thats just my personal opinion though.

[blissful kiln]

Maybe there will be new material that is more than metal and you cannot transfer it?

[cedar sparrow]

That's definitely countered by the size of the portal and the need for a stonecutter

[vocal rivet]

Literally no need.

[gray sand]

During combat log-outs are cheating, yes.
(But who cares? Given this isn't a competitive game)

But logging to farm mats, especially if you want your world "intact" is completely reasonable

[thin glade]

Also

[cedar sparrow]

Yeah, I feel like I'm cheating doing it too.

[thin glade]

Maybe it wasnt specific enough but:

[vocal rivet]

Except why not just spawn them in then?

[gray sand]

Different [pickaxe] strokes for different folks.

[cedar sparrow]

I'd prefer to have the challenge of doing it within the world I'm given, in a way that leaves it looking untouched

[blissful kiln]

Valheim should have achievement that you get for killing grayling with the most powerful weapon in the game while having hp only based food

[plush umbra]

i needed so much stone for hvassfjallr i've scraped several worlds for it

what am i saying "needed", 120,000+ stone in and it's still not done

[cedar sparrow]

Some guy on YouTube killed a seeker soldier with his fists.

[blissful kiln]

Called "long time no see lingling" XD

[gray sand]

You haven't lived until you've front-kicked a Deathsquito to death while naked and on no food.

[blissful kiln]

I also did

[solid shadow]

is there a ptb chat?

[thin glade]

I had No clue what basalt bombs did when unlocking them, and the other bombs were rather useless so i didnt bother making them for like weeks.

All it said is something along the lines of "with enough heat, soldifies upon explosion"

There were times i would die in lava to askvin knockback, or lava pops, and i would spam die grabbing my stuff just to inch it closer to land.

That, spamming rafts on land and watching them burn so i could walk on them, or other dumb stuff. Idk, just didnt feel straightforwad enough yk?

[cedar sparrow]

I don't have the patience for that 🤣

[vocal rivet]

#valheim-public-test

[plush umbra]

check id:customize to gain access to it if you can't see it

[solid shadow]

irongate looooves breaking their game LOL

[gray sand]

In the middle of reading this I said "bless you" reactively.

[thin glade]

Aside from that, anyone else have problems with the Flametal pillars being buggy?

[blissful kiln]

My himmin afl was broken so I jumped over it to hit it's juicy ass each time

[blissful kiln]

Sometimes they escape

[cedar sparrow]

Haven't done one since the update

[thin glade]

I noticed after dying while mining one, that my tombstone got glitched inside of the Lavaithian (what the wiki calls the unbreakable part of the pillar in the center of the mineable flamatal)

On top of that, i got unlucky and it didnt sink into the lava after mining all the ore, so my stuff was just unreachable.

Agreed

[solid shadow]

I still have no access to the channel

[blissful kiln]

What do seeker soldiers have in their ass tho??

[plush umbra]

you didn't grab the public tester role

[thin glade]

At least, for players that "dont" rely on the wiki. I try to avoid it so i dont spoil new content. Went into the queen fight pretty much blind, and both the sound design and dungeon aspect with summons blew me away.

MUCH cooler than eikthyer and stuff.

[blissful kiln]

Not orange cum?

[vocal rivet]

Ew.

[blissful kiln]

Soldiers are clearly males and seekers females

And then there's the queen

[vocal rivet]

Not sure that's remotely clear.

[gray sand]

Or they are like bees and all nearly all of them are female.

[blissful kiln]

Exactly

[gray sand]

Including the soldiers.

[cedar sparrow]

Yeah, totally! Men love to stamp and stomp and announce their presence 🤣

[blissful kiln]

To win over the quuen tho

It would make sense you know

[cedar sparrow]

I've had one narcissistic partner, I don't want another

[blissful kiln]

Use kratos instead

[gray sand]

If battleaxes didn't have such a long windup...
Crystal Battleaxe would actually cook in Ashlands.

[blissful kiln]

Shut up 😭

[thin glade]

My Duo and i wasted our first like, 2 bloodstones on weapons not knowing what they did because they were NOT clear.

The troll summon wrecked one of my builds and he felt terrible (he is the one running mage).

It was funny as hell though seeing him drop astroworld on my shed, and seeing tools explode from wall mounts.

[burnt glen]

and it takes 3 of their heads to get her to appear?

[blissful kiln]

Hm?

[cedar sparrow]

So go get more iron. Part of the fun is to play with all the different weapons and armour, even if some don't get used much

[blissful kiln]

Omg my hair is so soft

Anyone wanna touch my hair?

[golden rover]

I did that lmao. When me and my group played I was swapping weapons every zone.

[thin glade]

I really wish we recorded more of our sessions. We have some golden clips like him spamming rafts with all of our wood and boar scrap to help me get my tombstone from lava 💀 we are dumber than rocks

[blissful kiln]

Rocks are laughing at u rn

[cedar sparrow]

I love the fun of laughing at someone trying a new weapon, and we give them nicknames too. It's a hoot!

[thin glade]

We wasted, like 450 wood and i still didnt get my stuff back since the boats were glitching into the ground

[nimble hawk]

hey, i heard something about 450 wood

[thin glade]

dont remind me dude 💀

[golden rover]

In meadows and Black Forest I used aetgir, in the swamps and mountains I used the crystal battleaxe, in the plains I used a sword and shield, in the Mistlands I used an arbalest, in the ashlands I used a mace and shield.

[cedar sparrow]

I don't consider any of it a waste of time.

[golden rover]

So I just had about 20-30 skill in almost every weapon group.

[blissful kiln]

@thin glade

[thin glade]

Nah you dont understand how funny this game is though @pearl cloak

We played blind so our first playthrough, we drop into the mistlands by accident. He falls into smoke, and i hear SHRIEK before i see him running up a wall with a giant bug running after him, then one shotting him. I was WHEEZING.

[thin glade]

The spires tho, they are the real funny rocks.

[blissful kiln]

Einsteins compared to u

[vocal rivet]

*you.

[nimble hawk]

reminds me the first time i fought a stone golem. ended up crashing through the roof of some shack in the meadows lmao

[blissful kiln]

The fuck did I do tho? 😭

[golden rover]

Damn why my playthrough sound like heaven compared to Yall we had our struggles but we had like dedicated team members for certain tasks so we like never ran out of resources 😭😭😭

By Ashlands we were rolling in it 😭

[thin glade]

Funny story: when we first got to the ashlands my Mixers audio was bugged. Because of a recent update, i couldnt hear unity audio.

Our first gjall spawns, and he starts freaking out because he can hear it and i cant. I ask him to describe it, he did NOT do a good enough interpretation of the danger i was in before i got my back blown out by 120 damage.

[blissful kiln]

I once spent 2 days getting my stuff back

[golden rover]

Jeez

Sounds rough

[thin glade]

Rest in piece my boar farm tho, the bat spawns got em all

[golden rover]

We would go on massive 2-4 man expeditions for ore and resources.

[cedar sparrow]

I was one of those noobs last December, with someone who was patient and didn’t rush me and who let me find a lot of stuff out on my own. What got me hooked was the ability to go at my own pace, and the desire to earn my weapons and armour without being helped. I'm now over 2500 hours down, and I still play daily

[blissful kiln]

OH NO I GOTTA GO WALK MY FISH

[thin glade]

YOU STIR THE CAULDRON

proceeds to lose the first batch of 2 star wolves i saw in 50 hours 💀

[cedar sparrow]

Ouch 🤣

I'm on the spectrum too

[blissful kiln]

Tf2 pyro?

[cedar sparrow]

I love farming and cooking and building. But I also love exploring

[blissful kiln]

Yes

[thin glade]

muffled screaming love that TF2 halloween event is semi enjoyable now, with the bot changes being made

[cedar sparrow]

Gjall are just.....no words

[blissful kiln]

I love enslaving graylings

[thin glade]

The ragdolls you can get with the wizard shotgun is just chefs kiss

[cedar sparrow]

I must do that on my solo world! It's so lonely without others there

[thin glade]

We have a perch in our meadows base JUST for bringing them as high as we can before ragdolling them

[blissful kiln]

Killed one using frostner

[cedar sparrow]

I hate it 🤣

[thin glade]

ITS SO UNBELIVABLEY WEAK

BUT SO UNBELIEVEABLY FUNNY

[cedar sparrow]

I love the plant magic staff

[blissful kiln]

Agree

[nimble hawk]

ON ODIN THAT THING NEEDS A BUFF

[cedar sparrow]

Odin is a stalker 🤣

[blissful kiln]

What's scariest encounter with Odin for you guys?

[nimble hawk]

none, wilds lol

[blissful kiln]

Wolf fang

[cedar sparrow]

When he appeared every 5 minutes (it felt like) for an entire day

Fireball

[thin glade]

i remember testing it with my mage friend @nimble hawk ,

we wanted to see the damage amp on Nidhogg blood version, so i hit him and 1 shot him by accident (mage foods weak)

I cost him 2 days of blood magic leveling in 5 seconds 💀

HE SLAMMED HIS DESK SO HARD HIS PC CRASHED AND THE WORLD CLOSED LMAO

[cedar sparrow]

Probably wanted to remind me to eat 🤣 I keep forgetting

[blissful kiln]

I once saw lighting and turned looking at there and shit my pants seeing Odin watch me 🥵 like damn how the lighting did it

[blissful kiln]

It was the first lighting of the storm I mean

[nimble hawk]

THATS WHAT IM TELLING HIMN. FIRST TIME WE EVER GOT AN EGG TO HATCH THE CHICK IMMEDIATELY DIED TO THE CAMPFIRE AND WE STARTED YELLING AT EACH OTHER FOR A DIVORCE

[cedar sparrow]

Hugin got so irritating that I turned him off after he pestered me the entire time I was trying to tame some lox

[blissful kiln]

Hugin keeps sexually harrashing me

[thin glade]

WE QUIT PLAYING FOR A YEAR OVER THAT

IM NOT KIDDING, THATS WHY WE TOOK A BREAK AND DIDNT SEE ASHLANDS WHEN IT DROPPED

[harsh rain]

so do it back

[vocal rivet]

So many caps...

[nimble hawk]

i was so confused coming back the the game after a year and finding out that they made hugin sassy now lol

[cedar sparrow]

In the ashlands, he kept hiding in the flametal spires

[blissful kiln]

Built the bath and instantly jumps in with me when I was naked there

[vocal rivet]

Munin is way more sassy than Hugin.

[blissful kiln]

Yeah

[thin glade]

hugin talks about his brother like he will never amount to anything in life, such lip

[cedar sparrow]

One of my friends died by eating too many bukeperries when he was sitting in the bath

[harsh rain]

whos munin

[thin glade]

"my lesser brother munin"

[blissful kiln]

Hugin did bad things

[vocal rivet]

The other raven.

[harsh rain]

i havent found em yet

[blissful kiln]

The third dragon

[vocal rivet]

Huh?

[cedar sparrow]

Late game

[blissful kiln]

Idk

[vocal rivet]

Then why say it?

[cedar sparrow]

Mistlands, I think, is when Munin appears

[blissful kiln]

I'm evolving:(

[blissful kiln]

Yes

[thin glade]

Speaking of tissue,

we found the mistlands before making black metal pickaxes....

we both fell into a giant skull mouth and damn nearly softlocked ourselves because we couldnt jump out 💀 (water debuff+no foods made running up the sides like IMPOSSIBLE.)

[blissful kiln]

Racist

Yuh

[harsh rain]

when should i go the mistlands? im preparing for moder rn

[vocal rivet]

I'm fairly sure you think you're being funny. It's not working.

[cedar sparrow]

I did that too!

[blissful kiln]

Imagine 10 star eikthyr attacking your base

[blissful kiln]

Ty

[vocal rivet]

You have a whole other biome to go before then.

[thin glade]

Glad to know im not the only drillbit here that fell in by mistake

meanwhile my duo saw me go somewhere without him and said audibly "Wait for me!" before going silent and staring up for 5 seconds straight before panicking

[nimble hawk]

love the fact that you can find out which part of the mistlands have had magic hungry gremlins by checking troll skulls for holes xD

[blissful kiln]

When you are ready

[cedar sparrow]

I also got myself stuck in a rock crevice with no food left

[harsh rain]

the plains and mistlands right

[vocal rivet]

Yep.

[harsh rain]

ty

[blissful kiln]

I got my tombstone stuck in hole with 3 starred seekers and no stairs....

[thin glade]

Im convinced the wizards are just actually insane. No way you can eat centuries old rotting meat, and slurp on hallucinogenic tree sap while maintaining braincells above double digits.

[cedar sparrow]

I also built a bed under a roof that was too low, and when I died, I got stuck in the roof and had to punch my way out while trying not to attract a nearby gjall

[blissful kiln]

So hardcore schizo that they do magic irl

[thin glade]

I STG: Everytime this guy uses his skull in combat all i hear is:

SKELTON SO GOOD IT GOT A SEQUEL!

[blissful kiln]

Lol

[nimble hawk]

we think we've somehow learned to cast magic meanwhile odins watching a couple of vikings tripping after eating strange shrooms raw

[cedar sparrow]

I failed. The gjall blasted my bed and me to pieces, and I then had to sail all the way from spawn to get my body

[blissful kiln]

Yeah

[thin glade]

His headcannon is that the skeletons dont actually die since he can just... yknow revive them. They just get benched until he brings them back.

[blissful kiln]

My food body slammed me

[nimble hawk]

just bones that learn how to parambulate until they lego death sound effect

[thin glade]

Oh yeah

We didnt know battering rams were a thing either. so we just BUILT our way over the fortress walls while being shot at.

After somehow managing to beat the warlocks after dying at least 7 times, i jumped inside the center tower and got stuck.

AND THEN SAVED MYSELF USING THE POWER OF MINECRAFT (we found out if both players dig on either side of the door, you can go underneath).

[nimble hawk]

WE BEAT THE GAME IN WAYS ODIN DIDNT EVEN KNOW WERE POSSIBLE

[thin glade]

I still dont know if its an intended feature since it can only be done with two players working together. You cant dig yourself out without 2 people, or at least having the other side of the hole preestablished.

[nimble hawk]

again, soooooo many rafts used as couch cusions for the worlds most realistic game of floor is lavas. up until this point bombs were pretty useless everywhere, how were we supposed to know they'd be a near neccessity this time lol

[cedar sparrow]

So, what's the worst mob you've had chasing you? I had an abomination, three wraiths, a draugr and a skeleton, when I was in swamp gear. Three bonemaw serpents at once when I was going south around a mistlands landmass. And two trolls, two greydwarf brutes, two greydwarf shaman, and a horde of greydwarves when I was trying to find Haldor early game

[thin glade]

i learned about bombs and made like 30 smokes, started spam throwing them at the warriors, only to find out 9 bombs in that they dont do damage to the skeletons 💀

i was promptly one shot for my ignorance.

[burnt glen]

Bile bombs are excellent weapons in Mistlands.

[nimble hawk]

i tried em, found the firestaff to be much more reliable

[cedar sparrow]

I tried those bombs against anything I could 🤣

[nimble hawk]

i burned myself to death many times with the bombs lol

[burnt glen]

How? you can't damage yourself with them..

[cedar sparrow]

I heard they were for putting out fires, but I can't recall where I heard it

[thin glade]

An enraged troll that crawled out of my shed, which was nearly caved in by an Astroworld metor summoned by my Tree sap and Mushrooms addicted mage duo.

All things considered, could have gone worse. I only died 2 times to them, unlike the time he left me in the fortress with 2 warlocks after stealing the jade and running off.

IM LOOKING AT YOU @nimble hawk 🫵

[nimble hawk]

YOU STOLE THE JADE, AND I ALREADY APOLOGIZED FOR ASTROWORLDING YOUR FORGE

[cedar sparrow]

Oh!! Those are mean! I had to try and kill one that some muppet had unknowingly created when playing with the magic weapon he'd found lying around

[thin glade]

YOU DIDNT REPAIR A SINGLE THING YOU DOLT

NOT LIKE ID TRUST YOU TO AFTER WHAT HAPPENED LAST TIME.

YOU BUILD LIKE YOU HAVE DYSLEXIA, IVE SEEN SPHAGETTI STRAIGHTER THAN WHAT YOU DID TO MY FORGE LAST TIME

[cedar sparrow]

Gees guys! It's only a game 🤣 Calm down and stop yelling, lol

[thin glade]

I LOVE THIS MAN

[burnt glen]

That's because they do almost the same thing. They are both projectiles that do AOE damage, I meant more for when you're not using a fire staff (i.e melee build), it's great at breaking down seekers health, straight up killing swarm of broods and ticks, etc.

Though I suppose if you do a mage build, you might not have ever tried the basalt bombs, and I can understand wanting its use being more explicit.

[nimble hawk]

ahem,
apologies, the tinnitus from dundr makes voice control iffy at times

[thin glade]

make no mistake, but goodness he makes me think about why i didnt get into checkers or soemthing sometimes

[cedar sparrow]

It is definitely not a quiet weapon!

[nimble hawk]

its a funny one for sure. useless on anything less than the mountain unless its raining, but i do love sending creatures to another timezone

[cedar sparrow]

I prefer sneaky ways to rebel against my gaming buddy's disrespect. He failed to keep my chests all tidy, so I scattered all his armour through my huge collection of chests 🤣

[thin glade]

Nothing quite like running into the stone portal while being chased by askvins, only to be BRIEFLY one shot from behind because your magecap addicted mage is getting his fix in the mistlands 💀

[nimble hawk]

also anyone else annoyed at the eitr drain mechanic on it? if you sprint in unloads like an arbalest, but at least the crossbows let you keep your ammo!!!!

if you keep having to hop around you dont get a single drop back!

[thin glade]

Oh whats that??

YOUR FRIEND DOESNT ORGANIZE THE CHESTS!? I COULD NOT IMAGINE WHAT THAT IS LIKE.

Not like i wake up to STONE AND RESIN BEING IN THE FOOD CHEST

for real though, greydwarf drops

all the time, in my food chests

[wary flicker]

Dundr should totally be made with iolite, like why the lightning staff not made with lightning gem. We could have had a staff for each gem then, and bloodstone is used for more things than the other ones anyway

[cedar sparrow]

He also left his cart right in the walkway we both used, so I moved it into his bedroom

[thin glade]

my duo and i had a whole discussion about that

it makes no sense, mage Bloodstone should do healing or something like that

Like takes health from caster to heal allies or something

[cedar sparrow]

It does. Just in reverse

[wary flicker]

We already have a mage bloodstone is the thing

The best staff

[cedar sparrow]

I love the fire thrower staff and the vine one

[nimble hawk]

i was so dissapointed when i found out iolite was useless for mages. and seriously. for a whole bloodstone dundr does nothing better than your other options. its only good stat is comedy

[thin glade]

Ah yes, THE HOME OWNERS WORST ENEMY.

My landlord will RUE THE DAY HE INCREASED RENT BY 50$ A MONTH.

TROLLSTAV

[cedar sparrow]

🤣

[nimble hawk]

i dont know what i was expecting, but it was not fat suit travis scott

[wary flicker]

Same brother, same

I feel like the only reason dundr is made with bloodstone is just because they wanted it red or something

[thin glade]

my brother in christ, all i heard was "ASTROWORLD" and then i saw him one shot my pen of chickens,

i could hear the sicko mode snippet play in my head as he tore up what was left of my fence.

[thin glade]

Probably tbh

[burnt glen]

Funny thing Iolite is probably the best for melee build.

[thin glade]

Its funny, dont get me wrong. But i feel like they forgot the thunder stone existed.

It feels USELESS.

Yes, let me smelt 10 items for 1 coal, when i can just overcook boar meat and get 1 - 1 ratio.

[nimble hawk]

thunderstone got ratioed by 5 stone and 2 wood lmao

[thin glade]

i love being scammed into thinking the trade deals offered by inanimate objects outweigh my lack of Culinary School education

Real though, i love this game to bits. I just have a few criticisims here and there, but i have hundreds of hours in it for a reason.

[nimble hawk]

agreed, easy top 5 games i've played, top 3 survival in particular

[thin glade]

Idk man, renting on minimum wage could give the ashlands difficulty level a run for its money.

[nimble hawk]

honestly most of the weapons from the ashland that i got as a mage felt underwhelming compared to previous power scaling, only one that really felt impactful was the staff of wilds.

like, the insane amount of util through the bloodshield was game changing, and it feels neccessary just to survive as a mage

[thin glade]

Real, and at the stages i unlocked them, NONE of the greatswords felt worth the stamina tradeoff/mobility loss.

One handed swords just provided more consistency, for much less drawback.

my goto plan is popping eikthyr and then gaslighting my mage duo to stay and fight while i take my fenris gear and run off

Depends on what you mean by viable

[burnt glen]

Yes it is

[thin glade]

If you mean, tanking as a melee? No. But if you mean using it without getting one shot, then yes. Especially if you have ashen cape, the armor is insane.

Plus, the flametal helmet gives insane armor with no MS pentalty, so you only lose the Fenris helm bonus rather than taking an armor penalty

[burnt glen]

I don't know anyone who is tanking with fenris armor, even in Mountains. But you can do Flametal Helm and Ashen cape to compensate for some armor and do HHS food to not get killed immediately.

[thin glade]

Yeah this, tanking with it isnt really doable, even in mountains the wolves will pop you just by looking at you.

But the MS bonus from the chest+legs are often too good for me to turn down in ashlands.

Not HAVING to fight any morgan i see is nice, or askvan, or anything that can outpace my grandmother on a mobility scooter (as thats marginally faster than tank armor full set).

[nimble hawk]

this, so many people forget that helms rarely change anything except armour

[thin glade]

Love the carapace helm description:
"People may say you look like a giant bug, but they will only say it once"

or something along those lines lol

[burnt glen]

I actually think it's easier to defeat Fader with 2/3 fenris armor than full flametal.

[thin glade]

Full flametal is pretty dont get me wrong, but mobility in combat (for most games i play) is my preferred stat

often i find not getting hit, more useful than being able to not instant die from a hit

I HAVE BEEN BEGGING, FOR AGES, TO HAVE THEM MAKE MODER POWER WORK WITH ASKVIN CAPE ON LAND

HOW COOL WOULD THAT BE!? AND IT WOULD BE MORE USEFUL, ESPECIALLY NOW THAT BOATING METALS BACK IS LESS USEFUL IN THE LATEGAME WITH STONE PORTALS

It mitigates the RNG nature of the cape by giving you control in combat, trading off the flat armor of Ashen for EXTREME mobility in when the power is used.

Or even outside of combat, when gathering forageables. Or exploring land while looking for POIS such as putrid holes or etc.

Using it while doing chores in my base feels so jank. Ill go from walking to sprinting like im being chased by a polar bear on mtn dew.

[vocal rivet]

That would be OP. Moder works as there's a cooldown, there isn't one on the cape.

[thin glade]

oh yeah

i forgor

[valid python]

yes but both are needed for this to work... so modor having a cooldown already prevents its constant use

[rough mist]

When the new update comes out do i have to restart to get the new trader to show up on my map?

[vocal rivet]

As long as you have unexplored Swamps you should be OK.

[rough mist]

alright thanks👍

[valid python]

Is there an aplication process for the tester role or do I just ask in open chat and wait?

[vocal rivet]

Just click the button in Channels & Roles.

[north dome]

hmm hey guys, is there anyway to get back system where ashland enemies swamp you?

[light moat]

Like get your stuff back?

[north dome]

like before the nerf

where you kill 10 and another 10 comes to you

[light moat]

I don’t think so, I don’t think that build is available

[strong fjord]

Hey I just Built my first greydwarf farm and everything is done but they wont spawn, any reason why?

[north dome]

1. no place to spawn, meaning your farm have flaws

2. maximum spawn cap, meaning you haven't kill them

[strong fjord]

they have a little spot to spawn

i can send a screen shot

[torpid nexus]

What do the "Love Potion"s do? I can't for the live of me figure it out.

They also just look like deformed turnips.

[fluid hamlet]

Good morning Warriors and Builders

[silver saffron]

any big valheim server that is open for everyone?

[vocal rivet]

No, servers are private and only hold a maximum of 10 people. You can try joining one in #1024264966712340510 though.

[silver saffron]

ah okey

[nocturne wolf]

#valheim-chat message

[silver saffron]

sad that it isnt designed so that there also can be more than 10 people on a server:(

[vocal rivet]

Why? It's a solo player game

[silver saffron]

would be cool to see different groups living around the valheim world

[nocturne wolf]

If you’re playing as a separate group, why not have a whole world of resources for yourself?

There’s also only one sacrificial stones.

[silver saffron]

true still think it would be cool

[vocal rivet]

Have you tried MMOs? They have that sort of thing.

[silver saffron]

No whats that?

[merry pebble]

Games like world of warcraft for example, Masive Multiplayer Online games

[silver saffron]

ah

[rain flare]

The dev’s must makeup their mind here 😂
They still have lorestones hinting at 20 player groups 😂

I mean, I don’t mind a big party of people, but having to build 4 longboats just to island hop - not to mention all the material’s you’d need for armor and weapons - gives a quiver in my liver 🤣

[azure yacht]

Which runestones?

[merry pebble]

Same question as Rianu, which runestones?

[rain flare]

I’ll find it for you when I’m back from work 👍
It’s one where there was a large group of 20 that got whittled down to 2 members.
The runestone kicks off where the 2nd last member is dying from a draugr arrow and the last member is going after moder

[fair kindle]

found the one on the wiki ^^
Few of us found our way to these mountains. We were twenty and now we are two. Agda is dying, a Draugr arrow lies near her heart. I will bid her farewell beside this stone and give her ashes to the wind. Then I will turn my face to the highest peak and seek out the Winged One. May Odin give me death or glory.

[rain flare]

That’s the one!

How scary to be doing a hardcore playthrough like that

Imagine having 20 people when you start playing.
How many would make it to the Ashlands I wonder? 🤔

[pliant hatch]

That may depend at how well most of them are with fly swatting. 😄

[fair kindle]

interestingly, there's also a group of seven mentioned on a Swamp runestone:
You who pass, remember me. I am a man whose home was once in the mountains of Midgard, carried here when I thought to earn my rest, to find a life after life in Valheim. There were seven of us before the Greydwarfs came. Now Odin will not hear me and the seas refuse me. Soon this stone will be all that remains.

[rain flare]

Mmmmmm.
I recons that 90% will die to bugs.
Plains or mistlands guarnatee 😂

[pliant hatch]

Recklessness may be of influence too.

[tacit crystal]

I like those runestones that tells stories about someones beards. Can't remember which ones tho.

[rain flare]

When doesn’t it? 🤭

[fair kindle]

and the Forsaken are vanquished by many before, again and again. So perhaps Odin's enemies are never truly defeated 🤔

[fair kindle]

Otho and Björn 😂

[pliant hatch]

Like running into a burial chamber or sunken crypt, thinking you can handle things as you've done that so many times when playing solo and then running into that bone spawner and the 2 one star archers........

[tacit crystal]

They went in after eating honey, sausages and cooked boar meat without Rested buff.

[rain flare]

That was funny!
Two dudes trying to impress a woman 😂

[tacit crystal]

Those ones!

[fair kindle]

5 would already die from tree deaths in the meadows 😛

[rain flare]

Didn’t one of them have to carve a runestone to admit defeat?
How humiliating 😂

[pliant hatch]

And another 3 from falling down the roof of the house, while not having eaten.

[tacit crystal]

Odin's mightiest warriors

[fair kindle]

oh hey that's me! 😂

Yeah, considering that the forsaken are more forces of nature than anything else, it makes sense

[pliant hatch]

And don't forget the "big mountain decimator", aka "You are being hunted"

[rain flare]

Odin facepalms again 🤦‍♂️

[fair kindle]

at least 1 person will drown by being greedy at a leviathan

Have bop witch update came out to live server yet?

[rain flare]

Noooo

[tacit crystal]

Currently on PTB patch.

[rain flare]

Still has bugs on it.

[gray sand]

It's been 2 days...

[paper turret]

Am I blind or there is no #1202313396356128808-public-test channel (where it is recommended to leave public beta feedback)?

[gray sand]

In the roles channel, if you select the "I want to be a tester" role you get access to the PTB channels.

[hollow crag]

i see

[azure yacht]

Go to channels & roles

[torpid python]

wats estimated time on nxt update out?1/2/3/4/weeks?

[gray sand]

When it's ready. 👍

[summer hinge]

@torpid python lets not do that when someone gave you the only answer we have, yeah?

[torpid python]

is that an answer?

[summer hinge]

yes, it is. the update will be out of PTB when it's deemed ready, whenever that is

[gray sand]

Always fun when the most accurate answer gets a clown emoji response from people who don't want to hear the truth 🤷‍♂️

And so it continues.

[summer hinge]

@torpid python this is your only verbal warning, the clown emojis are not appropriate and in accordance to our rules

[sacred tusk]

Sure, but I assume there's some sort of precedence on what's typically the delay between PTB and release. (I mean, that's what I came here to ask). Like, when the previous significant update hit the test server, how long did it take for it to get released? It would at least give a rough estimate in the time scale, weeks or months

[torpid python]

where in the rules it states it cant be used?

[sacred tusk]

Dude don't be a stick and argue with mods, what's the best case scenario you think will follow?

[summer hinge]

first part of rule 1, along with the ending to the rules: Moderators may enforce rules at their own discretion

[torpid python]

i dont see anything thats states he use of Clown emoji in the rules

[gray sand]

So what happens when "3 weeks" is the reply, but then 2 weeks from now a game-shattering bug happens that takes an additional month to fix?

Then you have to deal with "BuT yOu SaiD 3 wEEks" due to completely unpredicatable things that some people will understand, but the vocal people don't care about.

So the easier path, and the more accurate path is "When it is ready."

[summer hinge]

adding clown emojis to a message of someone giving you a legit answer is not being polite

[torpid python]

well if u stated that say 3week i would of waited 3weeks and checked back then

[sacred tusk]

Ye, and that's understandable. That's why I asked about what was the delay between the previous update 😉

[gray sand]

You've been in the server less than a day and you're arguing with mods...
Forgive me for doubting your statement of "I would be rational if you had lied about when the game will be ready."

[azure yacht]

Even if the last ptb took three days does not mean every other that would follow would last even remotely the same.

So answering "when it's done" or similar is and will remain a valid answer, because no one can predict the future

[summer hinge]

anyway, lets drop this. An answer was given, not much point pushing the topic

[azure yacht]

Anyone could tell you "a couple of weeks" but for whatever reason it ends up being months, meaning that the answer was meaningless

[gray sand]

Why push a topic when one can punch birds?

[summer hinge]

🤜🐦

[gray sand]

Indeed.

[sacred tusk]

The best I can do is poke them with my atgeir, can't get to punching distance

[gray sand]

You get points for the attempt!

[torpid python]

ppl can get Salty so fast

[summer hinge]

Sadly you cant actually punch them anymore. Dvoid fixed that, at least partially because of me lol

[gray sand]

Damn.

[azure yacht]

Just take the L and move on...

[torpid python]

its a W for me 🙂

[azure yacht]

So your goal was trolling?

Well good thing hyper can easily see this one. I shouldn't need to report

[summer hinge]

just drop it

any further discussion on this, and I will have to start taking action.

[vague halo]

Me and my friends finally beat the queen and have the boat to get to the ashlands, anyone have recommendations on what gear to bring??

[nocturne wolf]

Bring the feather cape, the jump height is very helpful for the combat there because the common enemies and their attack hitboxes are taller than in previous biomes. Also bring fire resistance barley wine to override the cape’s weakness.

If you have a silver sword or mistwalker, both of those are good for the charred

[light moat]

I recommend the Mistwalker

[keen cliff]

I would recommend taking stacks of stone and 7 iron 5 copper and a couple stacks of wood also. Building an outpost with raised earth may be helpful at landing depending on the area.

[tacit crystal]

Bring the best you have and brace yourselves, eat best foods and carry some metals with you in boat.

[nocturne wolf]

Don’t forget the materials for a shield generator to keep your flammable portal safe

[keen cliff]

Practice tight turns with the drakkar lol

[regal badger]

Paddle only mode 😉

[foggy glacier]

lol. That thing is a damn whale. As soon as I had a beachhead in Ashlands I left it behind

[keen cliff]

I actually do wish I did more sailing time with that boat before attempting to get there. Granted, it is a one and done boat.

[vague halo]

Well, im going to have a lot of time sailing. Base is very far from southern part of the map

[vague halo]

thanks this is all helpful

[outer swallow]

Good morning

[marble delta]

Bog Witch isn't out of PTR right?

[vocal rivet]

No, it's literally only just gone into testing.

[marble delta]

word. just saw a bunch of YTs and got excited

[hazy seal]

yall, we can all agree that bonemass theme is the best boss theme in the game

like, fader and queen might have cool themes, but nothing beats bonemass theme in my eye

[vague halo]

i like yagluth's

[tacit crystal]

I like the Queens and Faders boss music the most. Queen theme has that terrifying ambient with strings doing that clicky sound on the background and Fader is just pure death metal 🤘

[spice mural]

Nope, sorry people. This is misinformation

[trail pelican]

lol

[fair kindle]

i'm quite a fan of the Elder's 😛

[summer hinge]

I dunno, Yag's is a pretty solid banger

[south remnant]

Any of you a decent suggestion or tip for building a caster?

I'm currently at Mistlands, about to enter Ashlands

[real stone]

I don't think so, in my opinion, Yaglut has the best boss theme

[merry pebble]

If you get lucky enough you can but it is really rare 😄 (i got one with a pickaxe the other day)

[summer hinge]

True, I suppose it is technically possible, just not in my old method

[summer hinge]

which was literally walking/sneaking up to them and WHAK

Ok so

I used to punch birds in valheim for fun just because it was rather easy and really funny

And as for Asatru

I watched him live in a vc finish off a drake with his fists

[hazy seal]

blasphemy!

[nocturne wolf]

Hyper, puncher of necks? 🤔

[somber pelican]

Bog which and all of its content will be on YT real fast ye. That's just how it works when stuff hits PTR 🤭
Most content is heavily spoiled for me... because I can't help myself, but can't play for now 😬

[summer hinge]

nah, just hater

[merry pebble]

It just happened because the drake had the slightest bit of hp left after poison from poison arrow ended 🙂 + i was on a roof of my wolf breeding pit so i have just gone and punched the sucker 😄

[azure yacht]

Meirl

It's not the worst, it's the least best

[summer hinge]

hmmm

[merry pebble]

Well, i dont really know 😅

[summer hinge]

I could give you nickname with something about rats in the meantime. Only mods and helpers can change nicks, so just lmk

[merry pebble]

And devs ofc 😉

[plush umbra]

i'm of course also available for that, and always pingable~

-# may be asleep or busy, but that won't upset me

[summer hinge]

Same here pretty much

[plush umbra]

we both just established that's fine

[summer hinge]

lol, all good

[light moat]

Swim from Ashlands to Depp North

[nocturne wolf]

Don’t even think about touching the asksvins, great grandparents of the necks.

[summer hinge]

both sounds like quite the task XD

[plush umbra]

i may not have been the first as i learned later, but i figured out some interesting patterns about valheim's worldgen pretty much on my own, and then used that knowledge to actually be the first to catalogue the average heights of almost all mountains you can get and find the tallest 3

...i realize that context makes no sense because i just temporarily changed my title to match scarlet's

it was previously 'Winter, Móðir of the Mountain' and will be that again unless scarlet and i keep thinking of cute matching titles

[merry pebble]

You would need A LOT of stamina potions xD

[plush umbra]

no code diving was involved though
compared loads of seeds to each other after an odd pattern stuck out to me on a screenshot i saw of someone else's map

it looked almost exactly like my first-ever world in terms of its island shapes and mountain placement, but the mid-land biomes were all mixed up

so eventually i figured out that island shapes are not entirely random and there's a 42x42 km area of them your world is randomly placed upon.

pffff~ good luck!

(if a mountain looks like this on the map for example, that's the second-tallest you can possibly get! it's got an incredibly steep southwest side and a dual-peak above the clouds.
the island shape is generally the same as well, but swamps distort shores due to how they generate, and the center of the world can make islands unrecognizable.)

the first-tallest i'm confident not many people have encountered.
by sheer coincidence, it's near the middle north end of the available area, so already the chances are not great for your world to land on a spot that has it, and even if it does, it's always gonna be in the northern third of the world, so you gotta sail to have a chance to find it.
and since deep north isn't out yet, that is the least rewarding end of the world to sail to at the moment

sure!~

[severe phoenix]

Can someone shorten witch update? And describe it?

[merry pebble]

You have the correct role, you can go ask in #valheim-public-test and you could also play it yurself 🙂

[cobalt canyon]

Guys. Why do I do this.

New run, character & world, unmodded, v-hard combat, 1x resource rate.

[gray sand]

Nice.

[cobalt canyon]

NOT NICE

[gray sand]

I do increased star rating but with raids off.

So your base is safe, but if you leave you had better be ready for the pain.

[plush umbra]

i'd say there could be an easier tracker for whether auto-pickup is on or off than checking the message log, that place is for so many other things than just auto-pickup

personally i just press the toggle button, if it's what i wanted, i press it again

[gray sand]

My only accomplishments are spreadsheets 😭

[plush umbra]

got a title idea for that?~ :>

[cobalt canyon]

Wish you could tag specific items to not auto-pickup

[hearty niche]

Do fish respawn?

[plush umbra]

they spawn randomly

[gray sand]

When I had Nitro I was Sevrahn, Marg-Sparkr iirc.

[plush umbra]

want that back?

[gray sand]

Uh... no. If you're offering title lemme look something up and get back to you. 💛

[gray sand]

But my free coal 😭

[plush umbra]

as a hoarder, i pretty much only use that feature for corpse runs

[hearty niche]

So let's say I catch all the fish in my local fishing hole. Are they going to respawn randomly over time in different places or will my same fishing hole eventually repopulate?

[plush umbra]

mostly in different places, but sometimes the selection of valid spots to spawn on is pretty narrow

goes for all enemies, part of why people believe stone golems and abominations have fixed respawning spawners

(granted, fish are an exception in that they're technically items)

if your fishing hole is already densely populated by fish, then there's a decent chance it's a good area for spawn attempts in terms of elevation and terrain shape

[cobalt canyon]

Does anybody ever climb up the pillars of the Elder arena to train block (late game)?

[gray sand]

Why climb?

Puts your right in front of his thorns attack

He tends to miss a few if you're on the ground

[gray sand]

Be on the ground. Be close to him. Position yourself between multiple Roots.

More consistent than his ranged attack.

[cobalt canyon]

If you're up there it's his only move

[gray sand]

And no long pauses between attacks.

[cobalt canyon]

He doesn't stomp

[gray sand]

So?

Block the stomp and block the fact multiple roots are hitting you.

You just sit there with a tower shield taking less damage than your natural regen.

[cobalt canyon]

Damage has no bearing on skill gain

[gray sand]

I've done both his ranged attack and the melee, multiple root way.

I find the root method more consistent.

[gray sand]

I'm aware.

[cobalt canyon]

Gonna have to build a scaffold though, he gets close enough to you he just does nothing, have to move across pillars...

[nimble flicker]

is the shirt icon on the map the other trader?

[gray sand]

It still faster on the ground afaik.

Optimally you tank multiple roots and the ranged attack. But if you don't want to move tanking melee + roots works just fine.

[gray sand]

Yes.

[nimble flicker]

thanks c:

[coarse jackal]

if i wanted the new update in my world do i have to reset my world or what

[plush umbra]

it'll update automatically as you enter (which may freeze the game for a while but that's fine)

[coarse jackal]

alrite thank you

[hollow wing]

Did they make any performance updates in the last 4-5 months? I've noticed it's a lot smoother than the last time i played in april.

Like the movement feels more fluid

More smooth

[azure yacht]

Almost every update does

TIL that the vegvisir in the main spawn can be used as a way to locate each Cardinal point as it's perfectly aligned to them

[tacit crystal]

They updated to newer game engine before Ashlands to make things run smoother.

[hollow wing]

well in april when i played i was in ashlands

[vocal rivet]

You didn't know?

[azure yacht]

I keep seeing people making compasses and shit and no one mentioning that

[stray island]

i dig underneath his spawn area and just shoot him from safety as he looks down on me with disgust

[odd helm]

Yggdrasil kinda works as a compass too

[plush umbra]

not only tells you the direction, but even vaguely where on the world you are, since it doesn't move along with you

[stray island]

oh nvm i misunderstood the question, ignore me

[royal tendon]

Will the dvergr attack me immediately if i hit something inside their ward

Just one hit

[azure yacht]

I did know this, it's how I realized of the vegvisir alignment

Also TIL that you can very easily/safely destroy a beehive by just deconstructing the pieces it's attached to with a hammer + workbench

Lots of new things learned in less than a day and have been playing for over three years

[merry pebble]

Oh, i was using this for quite a long time 😄

[fiery geyser]

You can use a empty cart as a boat?

[gray sand]

Have someone swimming with cart attached 😄

[merry pebble]

and dragged behind a boat by a harpoon 😄

[gray sand]

Ez way to increase boat storage capacity.

[azure yacht]

I've seen this yes

[gray sand]

1-star boar in starting area, let's goooo.

Remembering that one, glorious patch when the sole thing Boars would eat was carrots.

[keen cliff]

i basically fed my boars only carrots throughout the whole game

[drowsy magnet]

genius

[trail pelican]

there's a whole bunch of foods on the taming page of the wiki for critters that I didn't know they ate

like, are these recent change--I was PRETTY sure I saw this exact page before, and iddn't see so many options--like barlye for chickens?
onions for boar? (i knew turnips, the red & blue berries, and red shrooms, besides also carrots of course)

[drowsy magnet]

can that person being harpooned harpoon someone else?

wild it never crossed my mind to try

[trail pelican]

i see no reason they could n't

[vocal rivet]

Always been the way since being introduced.

[trail pelican]

wow--this game, full of secrets!

[gray sand]

It was a good thing imo, because it meant you hunted them in the Meadows, and moved into taming them in the BF.

But people raged, so it was fixed very quickly.

[keen cliff]

oh, crazy. i think that happened during my long break from the game maybe

[gray sand]

Yeah it lasted like a week tops.
