Planting a bush? 👀

[shy marlin]

Be careful those are cursed words in this discord

Might be accused of modding!

[light moat]

Yeah, won’t go too far off-topic lol but I stumbled upon some berry bushes at a store and planted them in my backyard. They’re just tiny little saplings (?) right now, but maybe I’ll have some berries next year 👀

[tacit crystal]

Ah, IRL?

[tiny tiger]

Yes his irl backyard lol

[tacit crystal]

Haha. This is Valheim chat tho, so I thought it being Valheim related.

[regal spoke]

Navigation is intuitive with prior experience. There's a lot to it that, I don't think many would agree. From maintaining direction in low visibility. Or tracking bosses.

Small percentage of players possess your level of scales 😉

[light moat]

Scales gets one gold star for being a pro Valheim player 🎉

[tiny tiger]

Only one? Bro beat the game in reverse and is attempting to beat it while fasting too lol

No food run is crazy

[tacit crystal]

I'd say 2 star pro Valheim player.

[shy marlin]

Permadeath no food run

On attempt 56 rn it's brutal

[tacit crystal]

Basically don't get hit lol. No hp regen sounds brutal.

[shy marlin]

Fall damage is the worst

[tiny tiger]

I imagine that’s the biggest run ended for you

[shy marlin]

The common denominator rn is ashlands open world

[tiny tiger]

You’ve reached Ashland’s no food?

[tacit crystal]

Ah that's why you suggested that to me: you want to share your pain.

[shy marlin]

Suddenly those arrow hits that you are so used to absorbing with the root harnesk have to be avoidable

[shy marlin]

I've reached Fader

Died at 10% 😬

[tiny tiger]

Wow

[light moat]

Fair point! Scales is a 2 star player

[shy marlin]

idk i just try hard the game i feel like a lot of people could do some challenge runs if they really wanted to

[tiny tiger]

You do RNG seed each time?

[shy marlin]

ye

Ruleset so far is obv no food, death = restart, no serious exploits, no intentional farming skills, random seed, and no boss portals

And just an honor clause of it feels cheesy/cheaty don't do it

Eg hiding in queen sanctum safe spot and just sledging her down

[tacit crystal]

Do you play that on VH?

[shy marlin]

nah it's on norm

if it was on vh it would just be a no hit run

[tacit crystal]

Okay, would be overdoing then.

[shy marlin]

I'm not quite fully prepared for a no hit run still need to figure out the ashlands hitless

Sidenote but frostcaves in a no hit run are an absolute nightmare

bats

[tacit crystal]

I've had similar "honor system" in my deathless runs with those no cheesy tactics and no quitting from bosses during the fight.

[shy marlin]

nice i like that

[tacit crystal]

And I went also with no magic route to stay more melee in my first after Ashlands came out.

Also no magic in my bow only challenge.

Both deathless.

[shy marlin]

speakin my language rn

best part about no food run is you can't even do magic

[tacit crystal]

True dat.

[shy marlin]

I appreciated magic for what it is, and I encourage making new ways/sidegrades to the game just wish it would be a bit more balanced

[tacit crystal]

I agree, magic makes things much easier. While it is very cool it gets bit boring if doing too much of it.

[coarse patio]

hello hello, just started playing the other day milling around the black forest solo. any chill groups available to vibe?

[tacit crystal]

Welcome aboard! You might find group from https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1024264966712340510

[tacit crystal]

Hmm. I might come up with the challenge all together.

So, deathless run with only 2 handed weapons, which includes sledges, battleaxes, atgeirs and 2h swords. It excludes dual handed and ranged weapons. Only exception for ranged option would be spear throwing, but no hitting primarily with them. No shields. Armor options would be limited only to those that don't decrease movement speed, so that would exclude Root Harnesk from using.

And obviously no magic.

[tiny tiger]

So until stagbreaker your only option is spear throwing ?

[tiny tiger]

Or would your first weapon be bronze atgeir?

[tacit crystal]

Stagbreaker is quite easily obtainable. Spear throwing mainly because there are flying mobs that would be annoying to deal without any ranged option.

No Frostner tho might feel weird. 🥲
But at least I could rely more on Crystal Battleaxe.

[tepid prawn]

@shy marlin @tacit crystal Is this the masochists meeting or the Souls Veteran SUPER GODLY player meeting I'm not sure, I have to stay out of it I died again 4 days ago due to swamp poison in normal mode hahaha

[tacit crystal]

Don't know about myself, just quite regular compared to @shy marlin 👀
(Ps. Have never played any Souls like games lol.)

[tepid prawn]

I did one VH and one H playthrough and also one without portals and map, and its just not for me, I love portals and the map and all default settings haha

[tacit crystal]

I just think limiting weapon types and equipment for my next challenge to force myself to try new playstyles is enough of a challenge.

[tepid prawn]

yeah i do that too, did bow and 2h mace only last one

[tacit crystal]

I have one H world in progress but feel bit unmotivated to continue yet.

[tepid prawn]

this time I m trying out spears and throwing them properly for the first time ever, never really played with spears much

if I don't set goals I ll always end up with sword and an atgeir or something ALL THE TIME haha

and also other goals like 1 base min per biome and such

[tacit crystal]

My last one was deathless bows only. It was different and fun.

Lots of woodcutting and drake hunting tho. 🥲

Yeah my challenges contain also defeating minibosses too.

[tepid prawn]

my least favourite part was how grindy bow only is, you need sooo many wood arrows, but not taking damage was good, it also did not work that well in Ashlands for me, once you have 5+ monsters, my bow was no longer good enough, it was not a machine gun because I did die too many times, only got up to like 75 or so

[tacit crystal]

It took me some time to adjust to Ashlands after getting used to using more tanky melee playstyle. 100 bow skill lvl plus 2 Storming Fangs combined with frost and silver arrows helped there lol.

[tepid prawn]

and the "oh shit I have only 200 arrows left" moments, thats nothing with high skill

[tepid prawn]

sounds like I didn't grind enough, soooo many drakes, the silver for arrows is okay still need the wood and feather though... feathers pre chicken is a tad grindy

I also want to do a knife playthrough again, havent done that for at least 15-18 months or so haha

[tacit crystal]

I went through many burial chambers for feathers and flint arrows. Voltures were good source of feathers during Ashlands.

[tepid prawn]

by then you have chicken feathers, so no issue (normally)

[tacit crystal]

I didn't bother with chicken farming tbh. 😅

[tepid prawn]

but omelette!

I often go HSS

[tacit crystal]

My usual setup was FFS. Salad was cheap.

[tepid prawn]

I need to do F more often, but I dislike mixing feast and normal a tad, maybe ocd or something haha

FFF is cool once you defeated Fader

Will be fun to build a 2 star restaurant in DN with all the food in the game once we are in 1.0!

[tacit crystal]

It's quite easy for me: I eat full and pick 1 normal food in my inventory which I eat when I can (after half time has passed on normal food). Then usually back at base when feasts have 15-20mins left.

[tepid prawn]

Also I m eating sausages,honey and raspberries rn, crazy mix lol

[cloud nova]

Is it new? I think I've been seeing like green rock or something in the swamps that turn onto abominations coming out.

[vocal rivet]

Um, abominations have been around since 2021.

[tepid prawn]

"Green rock" sounds like guck, has always been in the game since it went EA. And yeah abominations been there a while, you can see them on the ground if you have good eyes.

[light moat]

Oh wow, it’s been that long huh 🤔

[vocal rivet]

https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Version_History#0.205.5

[signal bloom]

200 arrows? man I think I'm playing bow wrong cause I only ever have 100 on me

[light moat]

2021 feels like just yesterday 🥲 gosh time flies

[vocal rivet]

Practically a different game then.

[exotic swan]

What year is it now?

[vocal rivet]

Astonishingly, 2025.

[exotic swan]

wow, I haven't left my gaming desk in 3 years...

[shadow wind]

So, what's the in-game lore reason for being unable to mine iron ore? I know there's scrap iron, but that's just iron that was used by a dead civilization and we are repurposing it. You can't actually find a raw iron vein and mine it, afaik

[tepid prawn]

If you have very high bow skill, this will not be enough, bow goes real fast with high skill levels

[signal bloom]

Ahh okay

[chrome badge]

goes to build with wood
I don't need to build a roof just yet
rain starts immediately

[regal spoke]

This is the way. I ran out of tar last night as this happened

[chrome badge]

Seriously, this happens so often it can't be a coincidence lmao

[tepid prawn]

Its confirmation bias or something (not sure if right word english is second language), the weather is set in stone actually 🙂

[cloud nova]

No, not the gunk that you mine. I'm use to abominations just springing up. The last coulpe had this glowing green rock in spot as I approached. Maybe just me. I'll try to remember next time I play to record it

[chrome badge]

I know I was just being silly 😄

[tepid prawn]

you can probably find a pic on google how the abom looks before it comes out of the ground fully

[heavy frost]

[kind pier]

JUST got valheim again FINALLY YAYYY
gimme tips :3 pls

[tepid prawn]

Play the game, don't look shit up, if you are really stuck ask not to be spoilered in #valheim-help or somethin

[true mortar]

blocking and dodge rolling (or whatever its called, i cant remember rn) are your friends

[kind pier]

thank gangy 🙏🙏

[chrome badge]

Avoid the very northern part of your map until the release of 1.0, as the territory will generate very differently with that update.

[heady parcel]

My head canon says the Draugr civilisation exhausted easily accessible veins. And that there probably is ore in the bedrock but we can't get to it with the tools we have.

[shadow wind]

🤔
I'll buy that

but also, why not better tools? Silly Vikings

[regal spoke]

Dverger are a better argument for where resources went

[stuck dagger]

And they promptly decided to barricade themselves in crypts using heaps of bones, shit and scrap

Thank fuck there's no Draugr cleaners or we would have any iron

[heady parcel]

Also those giants whose brains you mine, their armour and swords yield iron as well.

They would have gone through a crapton of iron to equip themselves..

[regal spoke]

It's the remnants of civilization in the Mist for me

[tiny tiger]

Hmm bog iron is a renewable resource irl and yet the iron in the game isn’t

[plush umbra]

oozers (which randomly spawn at night) have a 33% chance to drop 1 scrap iron when being split into blobs.
and apparently fishing up giant herrings has a chance to also drop iron ore.
neither of those sound like time-efficient sources but it's something 😅

[tiny tiger]

Mb I always forget about those methods I just woke up 😅

I dread the day my world runs out of crypts, although atleast characters are able to transfer resources between worlds in that scenario

[nocturne wolf]

If you run out of crypts you shouldn’t need any more iron

[ember kraken]

Yeah, I can't imagine ever needing that much of any material for anything really. Each world is large enough as to be effectively infinite.

[tiny tiger]

I would say effectively infinite is a very gross exaggeration, it takes what around 30-60 minutes to travel from deep north to Ashland’s by boat?

Minecraft is a better example of effectively infinite

[ember kraken]

In terms of resources.

[glossy dune]

On my solo playthrough right now about 800 iron ingots smelted, 600 used and I`m in Mistlands -..- Need moar iron

[plush umbra]

iron moment

[tiny tiger]

If I were to estimate 60 iron per crypt and guaranteed 175 crypts per world that puts the total iron from this alone at 10,500 which is about 19 and a half longships full of iron

that doesn’t sound too unrealistic on a forever world,

[nimble moss]

then add up to 100x viaducts - and that is an extra 5-10k. Then the armor pieces in Mistlands too etc. So easily 20k+ iron

[tacit crystal]

Someone should be testing that, for scientific purposes.

[tiny tiger]

I volunteeer not me

[glossy dune]

We can all agree there is always not enough iron xD

[ember kraken]

Not really, I honestly barely use the stuff.

[tiny tiger]

Average non iron beam user ^

[ember kraken]

Iron-beams are a crutch ;)

I've used iron beams in exactly 2 builds. Honestly because I hadn't yet figured out ways I could avoid it. Made bigger stuff later that didn't need it.

[tiny tiger]

I need a (metric) shit ton for my stone castle the worst offender rn is the stone flooring but I’ve been avoiding gathering it for like an irl week

I think ima try incorporating the copper gates too to save on the iron grind

[ember kraken]

Just have to ask, considered the world modifiers for use while grinding iron ?

[tiny tiger]

Maybe for my 1.0 world ill consider 1.5x, but my current main world I want to remain true to the default settings

[nimble moss]

I use 1.5x on my casual play throughs with friends. I feel like it’s the right balance of grind vs fun.

[ember kraken]

I've become increasingly more fan of x1.5 myself.

But if a friend asked me if I could help him grinding a gazillion tons of iron, I'd just insist to put the modifier at max, so we could get it over with :p

I especially like x1.5 for the various Cores, it can be so frustrating to start a new game, and go into say BF, find 2 burial chambers, and then get like 4-5 cores total. And just be stuck running 0-1 kiln/smelter. (same again in Mistlands).

x1.5 generally solves that, since it doubles 1 into 2. Also makes farming much more tolerable.

[cosmic igloo]

ya 1.5x goated

[trail apex]

Hey yall. Anyone got any good guides or know of YouTubers who run through building techniques, styles etc? Especially interior stuff and structural integrity stuff

[hazy bolt]

did they just drop the last biome?

[severe pasture]

No

[tacit crystal]

Read the patch notes.

[restive linden]

Sailing icon is now hidden when turning off UI? Finally!

[wide topaz]

"Grausten arches are now allowed to be placed in different orientations in the same position"

The greatest injustice of the past century has finally been resolved.

[tepid elm]

Why did the "small patch" take 700mb in a 2gb game?

🧊 🧊 🧊 🧊

[exotic cradle]

is that a COMPLAINT?

[nimble moss]

Steam handles patching files and “diff” checks.

It is what it is. Enjoy the game and have a good day.

[heady parcel]

Thank you guys! "Hiding UI with CTRL + F3 now also hides sailing UI and Pause Menu UI"

[final bloom]

Curious to see that boosted performance

[exotic cradle]

I really felt it personally

[opal prairie]

Noon gjall.

[azure yacht]

Yes, just read the info in #valheim-patchnotes

It explicitly says that

[vocal rivet]

Huh?

Man, mod users are inconsiderate. Reddit is full of posts complaining that their mods suddenly don't work, there's one in the mod channel here too.

[nimble moss]

I think the issue is steam silently patches your game with only a brief UI showing it. Lots of people wouldnt know it actually got patched (yes, I know its on main menu, but trust me - 75% of people wont notice)

[tacit crystal]

C'mon give them a break. It's just as after every new patch the mods go unplayable for few hours they have to endure a lot..

[nimble moss]

What might be useful is a popup on main menu first login to Valhein on each new version saying "hey - we've patched - check new version notes to the left", which people have to click "ok" or something.

[exotic cradle]

GOOD hope they suffer

(edit: this is a joke and exaggeration)

[nimble moss]

I garuntee that would draw people's attention

[nimble moss]

why? nothing wrong with using mods for those that want to? why wish pain upon others - we're all here to game and kill Graydwarves

[rain flare]

Complaints cause the game isn’t finished, so we use mods
Complaints when the devs make progress in finishing the game cause it breaks their mods

Just go make your own game at this point 🤣

[ember kraken]

There will always be some that won't read updates or won't notice etc. Nothing new, it's humans after all.

Personally I saw that update, and just went and copied a backup of my valheim, and directed mods to use that. Gaming just happily!

[nimble moss]

You can revert to yesterdays version by going to Steam -> Beta -> "default_old". Then play as you were until the mods are fixed.

Maybe THAT should be in the main menu "pop up" on each new patch - so you let people know, AND you let them know how to fix it. Would solve 95% of enquires here on patch day

[hazy bolt]

I love that people pounced on me as soon as I asked if they dropped the new Biome. here is some advice. Just answer the question or shut the hell up. No need to be hostile

[exotic cradle]

Like 2 people replied to you saying "No" hardly a pounce

[vocal rivet]

Where was the pounce? One person plainly answered the question and the other pointed you towards where to find info on what WAS patched.

Rianu was a dick but you can just ignore him.

[azure yacht]

You are very optimistic that people would read that...

Hilarious even

[azure yacht]

Here's mine: Read the channel that's specifically called "patch notes" so you don't have to bother asking in the first place. It saves you being replied that way, it saves us having to answer obvious questions. Win-win

[nimble moss]

if its a popup they had to click 'ok' - it would draw more people's attention. But yep, not pretending it would be 100%

Anyway - just trying to come up with practical ideas

[vocal rivet]

Bit late with only a handful of patches remaining.

[hollow jetty]

does Flametal still exist in some fashion? I just noticed today that all the Flametal I harvested before Ashlands went live is now called "Ancient Metal", and it doesn't seem to have a use

[nocturne wolf]

Old flametal was turned into ancient metal, you need to get some from new ashlands

[exotic cradle]

Nah, no use for the old one sadly

[cosmic igloo]

its kind of a theme in this server, the mods let it just fester for some reason. i think it comes from the same type of questions, or "stupid" questions being asked over and over and so ppl just get worn down

[hollow jetty]

damn... I must have at least two dozen stacks of it

[exotic cradle]

Well, now it's a collectible ^^

[vocal rivet]

Except it didn't happen.

[exotic cradle]

Wonder what the mods are supposed to do...."HEY only answer questions absolutely delightfully!"

[hazy bolt]

btw what is that pink flower suppose to be? does it signify anything?

[rain flare]

From experience working in support, most people are too lazy to just go and read.
They’d rather ask and say “hey, how does this work” with another person than read

[cosmic igloo]

ofc not, but its not a secret that some ppl like rianu or derek are infamously passive aggressive in how they answer things. they arent technically wrong in what they are saying, but if you talked like them irl then you'd have no friends, lets just say

[rain flare]

So you get the same question 50 times 50

[trail apex]

thats a little uncalled for, mod users themselves are not an issue

[cosmic igloo]

yep, exactly

[exotic cradle]

It's a joke omg I'm not actually wishing harm on players 🥲

[vocal rivet]

I am very rarely passive aggressive. I'm far more blunt than that. But only when needed.

[robust token]

Anyone got into Norse Mythology because of Valheim?

[rain flare]

Yeah that is also true 🙈
But that is dealing with people

You get pink ones, blue ones, red ones, all the little green ones.

Orange ones, yellow ones, and a little mellow ones 😂

[vocal rivet]

But again, no actual pouncing took place so this is all moot.

[cosmic igloo]

not sure m8

[rain flare]

Just have to deal with it as we go
Slightly thicker skin and knowing when to just leave a conversation is helpful

But speaking of, very excited to go play a new server with some friends soon 🤩

[cosmic igloo]

any specific plans for the playthrough?

[rain flare]

We’ve all taken a good break from the game, so looking forward to all the drama from our first troll raid 🤣

[exotic cradle]

Do share when it happens ❤️

[exotic cradle]

Also no, the 🌸 just happened last year randomly during spring because one of the Devs thought it would be funny to add it to random people ^^ no different roles, randomly picked, that's all

[rain flare]

Start from scratch and work our way through slowly - maybe make small bases in each biome and live more nomadically
Hopefully play until the ol Deep North 🥰

Basically just some casual plays with people hopping on together to do bosses or new biomes

[ember kraken]

Bunch of varius friends and people I know was talking about doing the same, but was considering waiting for DN. So might be a while until I get to do that :)

[cosmic igloo]

hm never considered making a base in each biome in a single playthrough before

problem is some biomes like mountains, im there for like 5 seconds and then on to the next

[ember kraken]

One of the things I enjoy the most is to only build in existing houses/pois. So I have to adapt, and not just build myself whatever enemy safe stuff I usually do.

It also helps with that playing nomadic style. Don't need to build up perfect bases everywhere, just build what you need, and move on.

[sweet epoch]

This is very true. Yes, it can be annoying waiting for the mods to be updated, but it is not the end of the world. Jump back into OG Valheim. No point in complaining.

[cosmic igloo]

ah right u can do that in every biome too

[exotic cradle]

Whomst

[azure yacht]

Mod authors

[exotic cradle]

Message got deleted now I look cray

[vocal rivet]

Now? ducks

[wary bane]

• Grausten arches are now allowed to be placed in different orientations in the same position - Oh baby yeah

although i was getting pretty good at eyeing them

[frozen jewel]

Why are some people so soy and keep defending devs for some reason

Bethesda shill arse attitude

[tiny tiger]

???

[frozen jewel]

It's been like 4 years and they still don't have integrated mod support

[exotic cradle]

Hm....... Betheda, a AAA company with thousands of employees, vs 12 people working on a lovely game. Wonder why.

[tiny tiger]

Why are some people so pressed to hate the hand that feeds them at every moment possible

[merry pebble]

As they said maybe after 1.0 🙂

[exotic cradle]

And for 4 years they've been saying mod support will come after release, but yeah.

[merry pebble]

maybe 😉

[exotic cradle]

Not a maybe

[tiny tiger]

Source?

[exotic cradle]

(sec omg)

[merry pebble]

Smiffes meassages are 50/50 on it really 😄

Some say might some say will

[exotic cradle]

Not smiffe

[rain flare]

When the teacher asks for your sources and you start wondering if you have any other than “I said it” 😂

[clear comet]

Ngl is it weird that I think 1.5x modifier is probably the best

My friend insists since we play with 3 people, we make the modifier to be 3x

[rain flare]

Mod support does not make sense before full release so after version 1.0 is the only way to go

[clear comet]

But when we played it's just, everything feels too damn easy/much

[rain flare]

That’s cause it is

[clear comet]

One Ashland fort has like 20 jewels

[exotic cradle]

https://www.youtube.com/live/pTBCH6PKev4?si=NiOPPLZ15_NUdbFQ&t=5760

timestamp'd

[clear comet]

Personally I like 1x a lot, but I get the 1.5x appeal

It makes the game less grindier

[ember kraken]

Yeah, x1.5 seems to hit a very good middle ground, at least for me. It solves some of the more annoying problems you can get in certain situations where you need X amount of a material before you can even get started on the biome. And some of the really annoying mechanics/grinds.

[rain flare]

It’s the big builders that want the 3x modifiers - you don’t want to farm the ENTIRETY of Valheim to build 1 base

[clear comet]

Oh yeah absolutely

[exotic cradle]

what if that's the part I like

[clear comet]

As a builder, I set up a 3x world for like

Stones and stuff

Then teleported all of it to my original world

(Yes I can just enable build mode but that sounds icky)

[vocal rivet]

No difference really.

Just more steps.

[exotic cradle]

What you're doing is ickier imo 🥲

[chrome badge]

There is, one will label your stats with a "Cheater!" marking.

[merry pebble]

I really do think that was more about the achievements than the mod support 🤔 they even said "possibly mod support"

[wary bane]

Building in this game is everything to me, if i'm on a shared server then i'd use extra resource modifiers, in my own world, devcommands.

[exotic cradle]

The context being if DN will add that or another patch after

[vocal rivet]

Mod support is unneeded. There are hundreds of thousands that work just fine out there.

[chrome badge]

They also mention it is needed to complete their plan directly after.

[ember kraken]

One of the points they made was that if they add mod support, then xbox can also use mods, thus play with pc servers with mods. That would be nice for a good amount of people.

[vocal rivet]

But the easiest way to implement mods is Steam Workshop which won't work for Xbox.

[chrome badge]

Mods being downloaded from Steam Workshop in servers could easily host the files that xbox players can then download.

[vocal rivet]

I just don't think it's needed.

[chrome badge]

Well the developers do 🤷‍♂️ that video is a pretty clear statement.

[vocal rivet]

They also said there'd never be any magic, or weapon enchantment, or chickens...

[tribal trench]

I love chicken smothered in magic mushrooms

[exotic cradle]

If the mod people would stop pressuring the devs

They have a clear vision of the game, not have a vtuber character model riding a horse, but eh

[tiny tiger]

clear vision like a river

[chrome badge]

I don't think it's pressure so much as knowledge of how invasive some mods needs to be to achieve certain things. Mod support can also come in the form of allowing files to temporarily overwrite major files, without completely gutting the game itself.

[vocal rivet]

That sounds a recipe for disaster.

[chrome badge]

What's worse is modding the game, the game receiving an update, and players being discouraged because the game doesn't launch anymore for reasons they can't readily identify.

It's much better for built-in systems to say hey, this file isn't properly updated, we've disabled it for you.

[vocal rivet]

But the game won't receive many, if any, updates after 1.0 so it's all moot.

[chrome badge]

They've said many times patches and fixes will continue beyond 1.0

Even in that video that was linked 5 minutes ago

[vocal rivet]

Only if needed.

[tiny tiger]

It doesn’t matter what they say nearly as much as what they actually do

[vocal rivet]

Development is essentially done at that point so far less opportunity to break mods.

[chrome badge]

Only if needed is a crazy argument to make, it'll be needed.

[vocal rivet]

You're so absolutely convinced of that.

[chrome badge]

As a 10 year game developer that still touches down on older projects because of new bugs that arise, yeah.

[vocal rivet]

But the occasional bug fix isn't going to affect mods.

[chrome badge]

That statement can only be true with certain caveats in place surrounding modding.

[vocal rivet]

Sure, things are absolute when they suit you and vague when they don't.

[rain flare]

Yeah this sort of thing actually makes me quite cross

I still remember one YouTuber who put together a modpack “As the dev’s intended” or some nonsense

It was nothing like what the dev’s eventually made and honestly?
I liked the finished product more cause it was actually Finished

Quality of life mods like having more decorations (food barrels my dear friend) is the sort of thing I like if I play modded

[chrome badge]

The recent update broke many mods and it consisted of optimizations and bug fixes, simply because a file name was changed. I'm really not sure what you mean by this.

[vocal rivet]

It broke mods because the network version. Which, aside from engine upgrades are the only things that outright break mods.

Neither of these things are happening after 1.0.

[chrome badge]

Fixes & Improvements:

• Changed back an assembly name to match the live version (reducing the reasons for mods breaking when the patch goes live)

[tacit crystal]

There is never a quarantee any mods would not break.

[chrome badge]

My point exactly.

[mild hemlock]

what're the chances of 3 Leviathans spawning next to each other just outside of spawn?

[shy marlin]

Pretty uncommon

[mild hemlock]

neat, 3 spawned next to each other as I was heading up to the elder

[robust delta]

they're trying to block you in
you must fight 💪

[floral moon]

can u make 2 chopping block for 2star workbbench ?

or we need to make 1 leather rack for 2star?

[nocturne wolf]

Every improvement has to be unique

[floral moon]

aah okay thank you !

[ancient sigil]

But if you're into building. You can build multiple of them to different workbenches to give a vibe.

Like want to have a "wood chopping spot" in backyard of your home. Build a woodpile and put a workbench down so you can place the chopping block and then just remove the workbench :)

[wary bane]

aye, bench improvements are one of my main sources of decorational clutter

prior to the barrel being introduced i dont know how many forge coolers i spammed for decorating storehouses

[floral moon]

oooo i see as just a decoration

[mild hemlock]

no they scary, ill come back to them later since theyre easy loot

[robust delta]

true

[hidden gorge]

it's really bizarre what other people classify as "quality of life" mods. personally, if the mod contains new models, that disqualifies it because it's a "content" mod

whereas qol would be something that changed the ui or altered an unimportant game mechanic which is otherwise just annoying

[wary bane]

Torches Eternal my favourite QoL mod

[ember kraken]

People are going to have different opinions on what qualifies as what. I installed a mod that hid my helmet, and let me get the dwarf LED light no matter which helm I had equipped. Friend I played with said that was a major combat advantage and not a QoL.

[wet night]

tell me why if im wrong, but aren't fenris claws a total garbage simply worse than knifes?

[ember kraken]

I can't really say if fenrir claws are bad or not, I think they're about on par with other weapons at the time, just no shield slot. But they're one of my favourite weapons just for being fun.

[wet night]

it kind of seems like fenris set and claws are just high in coolness factor, while actually weak with numbers

[hidden gorge]

yeah, "annoying" and "unimportant" are subjective

[wet night]

because yeah - the set and weapon seem very cool and all. You are a viking version of Volverine and you fast and you swift. Sadly numbers just dont add up

[ember kraken]

The fenrir set is very polarised, some people love it and others doesn't. Personally I don't think it's very "good", and prefer the wolf set.

Others find it much better, and prefer it over the plains heavy set as well. Basically the less you get hit, the better the set is, the more you get hit the worse it is. And the set helps a lot with not getting hit.

[wet night]

It is absolutely top 1 in coolness factor. Second place is not even close

[ember kraken]

Now that I will disagree with, I have no desire to look like a whiny emo goth :p

[wet night]

aaah ok, so you think the wolf set is cooler?

im wearing it right now and sadly i just feel like a guy with heavy armor and thats it

[wary bane]

Both mountain sets look fantastic imo

[ember kraken]

My favourite looking armours are Root and Padded, with Wolf a 3rd minus the helmet which is bleeh.

[wet night]

I use lox cape for my wolf armor coz it looks better

[ember kraken]

Wolf cape best cape, unfortunately it doesn't look that good with root armour.

[wet night]

anyway... About those claws - they seems worse in all existing scenarios than knifes to be honest.

The feeling of not being able to use "fisting" skill for any further options also doesnt help

[wary bane]

Claws are waaay better if you wanna toast 6 marshmallows at the same time

[wet night]

there are no marshmallows in valheim sadly

[ember kraken]

Haven't played knives in a long time, so can't really compare. But I love getting to mountain so I can craft and use the claws! I'm really sad we don't get more fist weapons.

[wet night]

whats not cool is that to be able to comfortably get resources for crafting and upgrading claws you already need to use a weapon that is atleast as strong as them or even stronger

[tacit crystal]

Hopefully 1.0 fixes that but we can dream. 👌

[lunar dust]

Some French to play with me ?

[wet night]

so sad that any of my actual freinds dont want to play the game with me. Playing with stranger is not even half that fun

[lunar dust]

same, but i don't find any French player

[wet night]

you know, with actual friend that you have a relation with you can make your own jokes, not only those that generaly acceptable

i also feel like playing with strangers is similar to working in corporation. Lots of fake smiling and laughing and hiding my true nature

Very unpleasant experience, worse than playing alone

Actually it was far easier to meet new people when i was young... Now its like 70-80% are some kind of snowflakes and you need to watch every word or they get offended

Guess new generation and times are too new for me and that's my recipe to be alone on the internet... sadge

[lunar dust]

personally, my best multiplayer adventures began with meetings with strangers. personally, i don't mind paying attention to my jokes; i am who i am and if people aren't happy with that, they can leave, i'll find other cooler people.
The French mentality may also be a little different, because most of the time, the people I meet are really good fun.

But I'm having trouble finding French people in Valheim.

[wet night]

[lunar dust]

Why ? x)

[rain flare]

Difference of opinion I suppose.
If it’s not drastically altering the game (adding new biomes/mobs) then I can work with it

[ember kraken]

Yeah, any type of new content is content. Including new mechanics etc. At least to me. QoL is tweaks and changes to existing systems, generally to make them less annoying.

But I can definitively see how vague it can be, and that some might see things in different ways.

[regal spoke]

The one mod that puts armor in its own window may be content but sounds like a nice qol either way

[frigid nimbus]

Has the game been better optimized to handle large builds since 2-3 years ago?

[merry pebble]

Oh very much so

[frigid nimbus]

I just remember having a ton of fun with my friend building a crazy large castle, but at some point the performance hit from it got unbearable
so I'm hoping that this issue was at least somewhat alleviated, cuz I kinda want to go for another run

[frigid nimbus]

this does sound hopeful tho

[merry pebble]

You can still do that since the game doesent limit how many instances you can have at one area, but lot of the main things that caused the lag fas optimized 🙂

[chrome badge]

It's never going to be perfect, so always test your framerate as you go anyways

[regal spoke]

Keep your build area around 10k instances. Should feel pretty good. Going past that will result in fps drop

[merry pebble]

I mean even at 20k you can still have pretty decent fps and it shouldnt feel unbearable 🙂

[willow pendant]

Does this patch include elevation differences when in combat? E.g. when en enemy is sligntly lower than you it will hit now?

[merry pebble]

Is it in the patchnotes? 🙂

[willow pendant]

Idk I have to take a moment to read them lol I'm in a meeting at the moment ha ha

I was just curious if anyone knew off the top of their head

[merry pebble]

Ah 😄 then no, i dont believe it does.

[hidden gorge]

I don't think this is ever coming unfortunately, outside of mods

[willow pendant]

poo okie

no worries

[frigid nimbus]

By some miracle, my old world with the castle did load in, though missing a some stuff and certain bits of the castle are broken randomly

and fps did indeed go from around the 23 average it used to be, to around 60-70 now 🎉

[vocal rivet]

Yay!

[vocal rivet]

Not something the devs want to introduce. If you want to hit something, get on its level. As they say.

[tacit crystal]

Or use spear primary hits for enemies slightly higher or spear throw or mace secondary for enemies slightly lower.

[nocturne wolf]

Or use a pickaxe for 120° vertical hitbox

[ancient agate]

Somehow, I still can't hit Stone Golems I am standing on while using it😭

[nocturne wolf]

Don’t you have an iron mace? Use that instead (and without standing on top)

[regal spoke]

To add on a little here. "Using a hoe on a hillside levels the playing field"

Not your typical combat tool but necessary sometimes

[merry pebble]

I never used hoe in combat in all my time playing 🤔

[regal spoke]

Wolves taught me to hoe a quick flat spot. Makes the fight so much easier since they will chase us up the mountain side

I'm typically running up a mountain with a hoe in hand making rest areas anyway.

[merry pebble]

I have only ever used the natural rest spots 🙂

[regal spoke]

Fair. Try it sometime. Removes the combat at grade issue

[merry pebble]

I have no issue with it 😄

[nocturne wolf]

There are some advantages to fighting on a slope too, it isn't all bad (although not if it's too steep like the side of a mountain)

[merry pebble]

On the slopes that you need resting on i rarely encounter any enemies 🙂

[wintry wave]

steam stopped working so i can not play valheim.

[orchid kayak]

Starting to give up on any hopes of hosting a world

[wintry wave]

it says i have to buy the game again

[orchid kayak]

[wintry wave]

i have a pretty good pc. i can run ark ascended smoothly whith primal chaos so i think it will work

[orchid kayak]

you should def be fine then

[rough osprey]

Anyone have any problems with modded valheim after the latest patch? I can't start my save.

[orchid kayak]

[wintry wave]

where you from grr ghur?

[orchid kayak]

Croatia

[wintry wave]

norway

how can i join?

if i can join of course

[quiet turtle]

I tried and it seems as though Creature Level and Loot Control is causing massive performance issues with the client.

[orchid kayak]

i have to start the world first for you to join

[wintry wave]

ok

but what will be its name

[orchid kayak]

Birmingham

[wintry wave]

ooooh

[orchid kayak]

i needed silly names

[wintry wave]

me like

wanna be friend on discord?

[orchid kayak]

sure

[wintry wave]

[vocal rivet]

Please do, so this can go to DMs.

[raven heron]

Is there a way to get a dedicated server host for this game like how realms in Minecraft work

Just got sent a thing by friend ignore that lol

Apparently it is possible

[vocal rivet]

#dedicated-server has info on setting one up. Or you could rent one.

[bright cliff]

anyone looking for evening party to start a new world? preferably europe or asia to avoid timezone confusion, since i'm only free from 7 to 11 pm GMT+3

[orchid kayak]

Just checked and my game just crashes

[rough lagoon]

Same thing. It just crashes for me too

[vocal rivet]

Almost like mods are broken after the patch today.

[vital umbra]

any highlights of the new patch...too much reading

[vocal rivet]

It's the same patch you would have tested in PTB.

[vital umbra]

i haven't played for like two months

[orchid kayak]

"Hiding UI with CTRL + F3 now also hides sailing UI and Pause Menu UI"
FINALLY

[tacit crystal]

In short: fixes and optimizations.

[vital umbra]

mhmm, any of them interesting?.

[tacit crystal]

Game launches faster at least.

[tiny tiger]

Grausten arches now actually work how you imagine they would

[tacit crystal]

And small FPS improvement too.

[vocal rivet]

Oh, you have to role I assume you would have tested...

[vital umbra]

i only have that for content updates i really have never cared about patches 👽

i did when the asksvin cloak was betrayed thou

[vocal rivet]

Not really the point of being a tester.

[vital umbra]

its not exactly a paid role

[rough lagoon]

You are a 40 year old dude, coming at someone cuz they only test content updates.....are we serious right now?

[vital umbra]

aaight thats my cue before the nukes drop byee

[vocal rivet]

I'm not coming at anyone. But thanks for needlessly getting involved.

[near furnace]

People playing nice?

[tiny tiger]

Same old same old

[paper spire]

Are you Russian?

[bright cliff]

Belarus

Same thing, basically, just less military and more potato

[lapis depot]

Mmm potato

[glacial shore]

was wondering if anybody wanted to hit ashlands with me for the first time

looking for a few people

[lunar sapphire]

Yeah, am currently updating. Please hold

[lunar sapphire]

You should be able to find someone / a server to play valheim in the #1024264966712340510 channel

[formal stirrup]

When will ice map come?

[serene talon]

when it's done, like all updates before

my guess for Deep North (WARNING, MY GUESS, NOTHING OFFICIAL) would be end of this year

but again, when it's done it releases

[light moat]

I’m thinking it could be first quarter of 2026 🤔

But yeah, we don’t really know 🙂

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1202267437647527977/1346613256499757107/892970_443.jpg?ex=67c8d2d3&is=67c78153&hm=59aa0d2d042bcc4c3402163f894af07649ae1a19adb83105feba7a1e271d65cb& @serene talon Is this on a no-map world?

[serene talon]

uh no

i just like doing pretty pictures in valheim, and needed like a nice sounding sentence to sell it to the audience

[wispy hearth]

so patch is out like already or not yet?

[serene talon]

yes, there has been a patch today

[wispy hearth]

I haven't seen any updating when I opened the game

is it done automatically or I have to log in?

[tiny tiger]

Does it say version 220.3 in the bottom right

[wispy hearth]

To be safe, play without mods for now?

[tiny tiger]

When you open the game on main menu

[light moat]

Gotcha, my mistake! Thought you were doing a no-map playthrough for some reason

[tacit crystal]

Without mods would be safer, most seem to be broken.

Or reverting to last stable version if you want play with mods.

[wispy hearth]

yep it's 220.3 in bottom right corner

[serene talon]

maybe someday i will do a no map playthrough

[wispy hearth]

I have better archery mod and some other mods, so will I lose stuff in my quiver if I log in?

[tacit crystal]

That would be better asked in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202550198174486599 or https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202934289898151966

[serene talon]

i would guess yes, but someone in #mods-discussion knows better

[wispy hearth]

xd

[serene talon]

too much helpfulness

[wispy hearth]

No worries

[tacit crystal]

Better safe than sorry.

[wispy hearth]

Also sucks that my buddy have dedicated server, and it's not available rn and he's asleep until like 1-2 hours from now reeee

[light moat]

These new emotes are so great

Oh wait maybe this is cooler

[tacit crystal]

Or better:

[light moat]

Now that’s fancy!

[regal spoke]

Reminds me of the skull and pistons logo

[tepid prawn]

Maybe on the 5 year Early Access anniversary... but migh be further out, no one knows

[tacit crystal]

Someone in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1024264966712340510 might wanna.

[eternal yacht]

How many npc are in this game ?

[wary bane]

6 named non enemy NPC's. There's also a bunch of friendly(ish) non unique npc's in the 6th biome.

[azure yacht]

Which six?

[livid zenith]

||Valkrie, Hugin, Munin, Hildr, Haldor, Bog witch?||

also there's Odin and Thor but they don't do anything to interact with the player

[vocal rivet]

3 of those are NPCs.

[livid zenith]

they aren't players, they interact with the player, they aren't aggressive, there's 6 of them. That's the 6 I'm assuming are being referred to

[tepid prawn]

did you guys forget about Kvastur! very friendly!

[tepid prawn]

also 7th biome

[ember kraken]

Technically, that would include Haldor and Hildr's tamed Loxes. But yeah they're not really different from another tamed lox super glued in place.

[tepid prawn]

they so cute should be counted 🙂 and they act differently then player tamed ones, they don't move, and the player ones don't cuddle you if I remember right

[signal bloom]

I just got 8 seeds from an oak tree!!!!

[tepid prawn]

I got 0 from 8 trees yesterday

[tepid prawn]

thats not standard drop rates, 3 is max I think according to wiki uness you increase drops

[signal bloom]

Wiki is wrong. Using zero increased drops.

I was completely flabbergasted

Oak tree has been there a LONGGG time perhaps drop rate is tied to how long the trees been alive??

Prob well over 500 in-game days

[nimble moss]

#valheim-public-test message

so you can technically get up to 9 acorns from one tree in theory.

[robust token]

Do you have loot multiplier on?

[tepid prawn]

oh wow interesting, TIL my acorn luck sucks

[signal bloom]

Wow man

[tepid prawn]

I have not managed to properly sustain an oak forest with my 2600h of Valheim, always run out of seeds

I also never build a base without an oak tree planted somewhere 🙂

[lusty oar]

whats a communiyt server i can join

[vocal rivet]

Wiki is correct.

[signal bloom]

I concur Leng misunderstood it i see 😛

[vocal rivet]

The tree drops are annoyingly complicated for some reason.

[plush umbra]

had a looong convo about that in the PTB channel a while ago, starting here #valheim-public-test message
tldr: the wiki is correct, it's a chain of chances so the drops can vary heavily

[nimble moss]

Yeah - its just a confusing calculation

[eternal yacht]

Can they live with you on the farm?

[azure yacht]

no

[eternal yacht]

Well balls…

[plush umbra]

-# oh i just realized this links to the same convo, just the end of it

[regal spoke]

Rng things or more? I typically see 0-3 and once in a while up to 8 or so

I remember a time when I was getting upwards of 14 acorns

[robust token]

The first oak tree I ever chopped down gave me 3 acorns

[lyric raven]

Oh crap, I was rearranging things in my first ashlands base, destroyed the portal to move it to the other side when a wild 2 star charred warrior appeared. Tried to fight it then baaam! I died and I got no more portal back to ashlands.

[nimble moss]

that's unfortunate. Looks like your sailing back across then 🙂

[lyric raven]

Yeah, I actually brought materials for 2 portals with me cause I planned to place a portal on an island that is close to ashlands. But then stupid me thought I'm sure I can successfully place down and secure a portal on ashlands, what could go wrong haha then suddenly everything went wrong

[rose ridge]

so no updates on deep north right?

[azure yacht]

no

#news

[rose ridge]

thanks

whelp me and the friends just finished off the last boss last night, not sure what game to play next together since enshrouded isnt on consoles for them

[daring delta]

jut created a server if someone wants to start fresh with me

[buoyant panther]

Welcome! Give #1024264966712340510 a look for this sort of thing.

[novel turtle]

just got 94 flametal from a charred fortress. lets go

[paper spire]

Morgen Gjal!

By the way, who came up with that ☺?

[floral moon]

does pressing R(unequip) makes u run faster ? / stamina consumption reduction ?

[paper spire]

I don't think so.

[floral moon]

hmm i see, it felt like it

[ember kraken]

tldr: yes.

[daring delta]

just created a server if someone wants to start fresh with me

[ember kraken]

If you have say a sword and shield equipped, you get a speed penalty for each of them (iirc -5% move speed for each, so -10% total). So you'll move slower with them up, if you sheethe them (R) you remove that speed penalty.

That also indirectly affects stamina, since you move slower when running with higher speed penalty.

[daring delta]

well not a server but a new worls

world

[floral moon]

aaah so it does, thank you !!!

[ember kraken]

Easiest way to test it is with something like Stagbreaker, it has -20% move speed penalty. You feel that very easily.

[floral moon]

oh wow havent reached that stage yet

to get rested status, do we need have fire?

can't just sit in any shelter right?

[lyric raven]

yes you need fire

[ember kraken]

Fire + roof.

[floral moon]

okie thanksss

so like aside home, i need to build campfire again while exploring

[lyric raven]

what biome are you on now?

[ember kraken]

Anything that counts as fire and roof works. You'll get the "comfort X" icon on top right when you qualify.

[floral moon]

ohhhhhh comfort

[floral moon]

the very first one, i just kill deer boss and one troll

[floral moon]

is there like special kind of tree ? or u get corewood luckily?

[lyric raven]

it is from another type of tree

in the next biome

[floral moon]

aah the tree would look diff

can u dismantle ur clothjes and stuff to get back leather scraps?

[regal spoke]

Based on the vid and past experience. We don't need a roof

https://youtu.be/eM7jcnk0o2s?si=HlnYHT3m5cnQbjyY

[regal spoke]

No

[nimble moss]

you can also get corewood in the meadows from the "camp" sites

[floral moon]

oh ok, and thanks for the vid

[floral moon]

hmm ok i will look into it

[regal spoke]

Embr has so many great Valheim vids. Definitely worth a watch. If you're ok with some spoilers.

[floral moon]

ohh i m lil bit careful about spoilers, i think i wouldnt

[regal spoke]

Definitely a good call. Valheim is great learning things by playing. Some little details aren't given. Enough is through picking everything up and listening to the Raven

[floral moon]

[opal prairie]

Morgen gjall.

[floral moon]

is club better than spear in melee?

[nocturne wolf]

It depends on what your fighting but I’d say it generally is better because the secondary attack is so strong

[timid wind]

hi people!

its any chance to see valheim on playstation?

[floral moon]

ohhhhh thank you !

[tacit crystal]

Probably not for a while, that's not been planned yet. Plus since the game is still EA Sony might not be interested afaik.

[floral moon]

what secondary attack?

dodge?

[tacit crystal]

Middle mouse button, each melee weapon has primary and secondary attacks.

Except wooden club has no secondary attack, but better clubs/maces do.

[floral moon]

ohhh not wooden club ok

i only have wooden

[tacit crystal]

Spear secondary is throw attack for example.

Once you progress the next biome after defeating the boss of the current biome you will eventually get materials to new set of weapons to craft.

[floral moon]

ooo okay thank u

[cosmic igloo]

use club vs skeletons, spear vs everything else

[haughty hearth]

hey so first time playing w buddies about to get into mistlands

from my understanding only the dvergr extractor is non-teleportable? in that case all we need to do is take over a tower and make a farm for the new crops. the rest of the crafting stations and materials can be TP'd back to our main base right?

in other words the only reason to have a proper mistlands base is to just experience the new raids?

[nocturne wolf]

Only the extractor is non-teleportable, but there also isn't much reason to teleport it anyway

[haughty hearth]

great sounds good. 👍

i guess i'll bring a stonecutter though to farm marble tho lol

[ember kraken]

There's a couple of things you got to farm in mistlands, but yeah you can make a sattelite farm for that.

[tiny tiger]

Finally got bronze tools on my bosses in reverse world 💪

[exotic cradle]

Grats!

[floral moon]

aah thanks

[tacit crystal]

What Barney means is that some mobs have weaknesses/resistances against certain damage types which is indicated by the color of the damage number. Yellow means the mob is weak against it, white means not weak nor resistant (takes normal damage) and grey means the mob resists that damage type.

So, having ||weapons with different damage types|| is good idea to have.

[twilit saddle]

what's going on?

[vocal rivet]

Who knew there was only one speedrunner for Valheim?

[regal spoke]

Thread Menace is the one o7

[exotic cradle]

Threadchan is ma boiiiii

[floral moon]

Ohh omg wow thats very cool to know, i will keep enemy dmg color in mind now

[tacit crystal]

Without spoiling too much and for you to figure it out while doing combat. 👍

[regal spoke]

Been so long since I looked. Does the in game codex indicate these weaknesses and resistances?

[tacit crystal]

There is no in game encyclopedia that would tell about the enemies' resistances or weaknesses. It's either looking by from wiki or by memory.

[vocal rivet]

That would kinda be an interesting thing to add to the game. Update the known resistances / weaknesses in the compendium as the player discovers them.

[tacit crystal]

The information of a mob could be added by getting the trophy of that mob.

[vocal rivet]

Ooh, that adds new worth to trophies. I like that. Someone suggest it.

[tacit crystal]

Gotta think about that idea later when I'm at my PC. 👍

[exotic cradle]

I can do that, I get a good upvote ratio for some reason

If YOU type it out of course ❤️

[cerulean imp]

If I'm gonna be honest, it may be your profile picture, and the fact most people tend to agree with women and try to oppose men, or just because you've been part of the discord server longer than some others

[exotic cradle]

true

or my suggestions are bangers

[cerulean imp]

It would also be nice if they did a thing where trophies have a separate inventory like what Terraria is doing with banners

[serene talon]

no neck info for me then 😭

[vocal rivet]

A separate inventory? What on earth would that mean?

[azure yacht]

More rows for the inventory exclusively for trophies (I know it wouldn't make sense)

[serene talon]

maybe the tab we already have ingame but actually organized for once

[nocturne wolf]

Just don’t carry the trophies if you don’t want them

[vocal rivet]

The system we have means people can organise their inventory exactly how they want.

[serene talon]

i meant the trophies tab

[vocal rivet]

The trophies tab organised by biome? That tab?

[serene talon]

yes

[vocal rivet]

Sure. Done then, I guess.

[serene talon]

the end is quite unorganized

or rather, it doesnt make sense

[cerulean imp]

Maybe we could craft wall trophies (like how some people put deer heads on their walls IRL) or like a model of the mob that is a taxidermy statue. And to make them a new trader would sell a taxidermy kit

[vocal rivet]

You can already mount trophies on the wall.

[cerulean imp]

Yeah but they also already had a way to put food on tables before the food plater thing so idk

[snow rover]

What difference from the current display are you looking for?

[floral moon]

Yess it good to know since games doesnt tell us about weakness/resistance weapon thing

[vocal rivet]

The game expects you to learn a lot of things as you play.

[cerulean imp]

Idk maybe they could make taxidermy models of the mob you have the trophy for

[snow rover]

It does tell you if your damage is being resisted or hitting extra hard though text color

I'm certainly not against an in-game wiki alternative, and trophy collection would be a good angle.

It's a lot of effort to make something that would not add a whole lot, but I think it would be nice polish.

[signal falcon]

What’s the best valheim server

[vocal rivet]

The one you like playing on.

[pliant hatch]

Most likely the one you can find in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1024264966712340510

[signal falcon]

We need a server list ingame

[vocal rivet]

Not really. I don't see the point.

[signal falcon]

??

[vocal rivet]

What would be the benefit? You can only join a server when you're not already ingame so having a list is meaningless.

[pliant hatch]

Well, post it as a suggestion in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202312684364910612 and who knows whether or not the devs decide to add something like it.
Although I think it might be hard, as the game is bascially a P2P game, not one having a dedicated list of servers for players to join.

🤡

[vocal rivet]

Well, that's a mature response.

[pliant hatch]

Seeing some things happening the past days, I'm wondering.......

Are you wearing that sweater with the big target and the words: "Shoot me" on it again, DereK?

[vocal rivet]

Lol, you know me. Happy to take one for the team. I didn't even think my question was that unreasonable.

[light moat]

Jeez, Valheim is just such a solid game, what a great gaming experience! Kinda reminds of a time long ago when there was simply a lot of care and love out into games. What a breath of fresh air.

[pliant hatch]

True.

I think the benefit would be that players have an "easier" time to pick the server they can't play on from the list.

And then still complain here about all the locked servers.

[vocal rivet]

Lol, exactly. You don't have a password, what does a list get you?

[pliant hatch]

Simple: A list of password protected servers you can't join.

I dunno if that's useful, but at least you got a list of servers. Right?

[vocal rivet]

I can't see the channel, did they actually make the suggestion?

[pliant hatch]

Nope. Not yet, anyway.

[pliant hatch]

Are you avoiding the hate topics on the various game forums, perhaps?
I've seen some quite a number of topics of people who don't like this game. And always bringing up the same dead horse - of which even the bones are beaten to dust by now - they made millions of money, so why don't they improve (add list with the 10 most favorite beaten horses) yet!

[vocal rivet]

Horses, ironically, being one of them.

[rugged bridge]

It's a breath of fresh air, you know a game's good when launching yourself across the entire map in endgame is considered a feature and there isn't a platoon of players screaming about it being a gamebreaking bug

[pliant hatch]

Mounts, in general. The combat system, the Mist of the Lands, the "no crafting from chests", the "Why not portal animals." The "grinding" (and in particular metals and farming) [personal note: Mining 300 copper is a problem but mining 150K stone to build Hogwarts in the mountains somehow isn't 🤦‍♂️ ), the sailing (or not enough sailing), the XP loss when dying, some boss fights. Ashlands being too hard. Ashlands being too easy. (am I at 10 yet?)
Oh and for bonus points: The food and stamina system.

[vocal rivet]

You've missed vertical combat.

[pliant hatch]

I count that as "the combat system."

[vocal rivet]

Oh, that's fair.

[pliant hatch]

Because if I'd split that one out we get the vertical combat, the bows being OP, the bows having that drop off - especially the first one - the uselessness of some arrows (wait, uselessness is actually a word? And one that must be hated by ppl with a lisp 😮) Not too many 2 handed weapons.

[light moat]

Haha no, I don’t really pay attention to that kinda stuff 😂 genuinely just think Valheim hits the mark on many targets. Just hard to find games these days that put quality and straightforwardness first.

[pliant hatch]

True that.

I'm quite "old" when it comes to that myself. As I explained in the suggestions discussion forum the other day, I've tried some of the "requested" - sometimes feels more like demanded to me, but..... shrugs - things like crafting from chest and inventory management and I may be too old for it. I'm so used to sorting items myself, setting up a storage area which can be accessed from all crafting benches and so on, that in game I do have that option, I still carry around (parts of) the required materials.

When reading that people have only 4-5 free inventory slots when entering Ashlands and seeing I've at 8-10 free slots, I'm wondering if they're doing something wrong or am I. And usually when seeing a screenshot I see them walking around with a hoe, a pickaxe, a hammer, the axe, armor and cape, 3 full stacks of food, multiple stacks of potions, a stack of about each and every arrow we have in game and I'm like: Right. Drop half the crap you carry with you and you'll be good.

[tiny tiger]

Hmm I usually aim for 12 free slots minimum

Excluding portal mats

[pliant hatch]

I've been changing my game play a bit.
I used to bring food with me, but now prepare a load, drop the feast on a table and the two best HP foods in a chest in my portal hub.
Saves me 3 slots, so I might be at 10-13 now. Or 9 when I bring my portal and workbench mats.

[tiny tiger]

I find just keeping one of each food is okay and gives you a rough halfway point for when you should probably start heading back to base to drop off loot

[pliant hatch]

Advantage, if I find that running out of food is about to happen, I can drop the portal, jump to the hub, eat, jump back, disassamble the portal and workbench and continue my exploring.

[tacit crystal]

Using 2 feasts with 1 hp or stamina food and bringing one normal food with me in my inventory has been my goto after Bog Witch update.

[pliant hatch]

Either way, my point was that not having to bring any food with you saves three inventory slots.

[rugged bridge]

I'd argue your armor/clothing taking up inventory slots being the only inventory related mechanic I dislike

[tiny tiger]

Very common complaint

[vocal rivet]

Honestly crafting from chests really IS very convenient. I like that in Enshrouded (what I'm currently playing), but there's an ingame reason for why you can (that and bases are defined by distance from the flame altar which is a magical artifact which has an upgradable diameter).

[rugged bridge]

It's a reasonable one, looking to most other trending survival games, they've got seperate slots for equipment, some of them even provide the option of extending your inventory slots via clothing modification (pockets, pouches)

[tiny tiger]

I mean it’s still essentially the same thing tho, if they didn’t have them looking separate and being exclusive to armor only

It’s just the way it’s portrayed visually

[vocal rivet]

But there's more than enough inventory slots to begin with (and we can increase the weight limit anyway)

[pliant hatch]

I found that I still used to carry mats in my inventory when crafting in Enshrouded. Usually because I wanted to craft the things right when the materials were done and picked up from the crafting "station".

[rugged bridge]

It's not the visuals, the fact it takes up 3-5 inventory slots is what always bothered me, something you're wearing being considered in your storage

It's essentially like telling me my shirt, pants, socks, etc are in my pocket lol

[tiny tiger]

The same argument could then be made for shields and weapons in your hands?

[rugged bridge]

Potentially, but you're holding them, not wearing them.

[vocal rivet]

Holding / wearing, what's the difference?

[tiny tiger]

What I’m saying is if the game started off with 4 less slots and those being to the side and only for armor would people still complain?

[vocal rivet]

Of course they would.

[tiny tiger]

Eh probably lol

[merry pebble]

Would you rather loose 4 all purpose slots and make them armor+cape only?

[pliant hatch]

I have the feeling that some players are simply using some aspects of the inventory wrong.
Why having two or three different stacks of arrows under a hot key for instance?
The game auto-selects the most left of the three types of arrow anyway, so if you want to use one the most, put that in a left slot. If you need to select another arrow, sneak, open inventory, select the other arrow, aim, shoot.
The hot keyed slots are much more useful to select weapons, tools and potions (imho)

[rugged bridge]

A different group would complain, the ones that complained up to now would be satisfied though

[merry pebble]

Oh hell no 😄 seems you don't know complainers.

[light moat]

I can see both sides, honestly 🤔 but it’s not problematic or a hinderance or anything

[rugged bridge]

I think you misunderstood, you wouldn't be losing any slots, just gaining them due to armor/belts/capes being worn.

[rugged bridge]

Can't say no to that since I'm new to the community lol

[pliant hatch]

Yup, because at that point they also want a slot for the necklaces you occasinally find and when we got those, we need a backpack slot, then a belt slot, then two slots for rings, one for the weapon, one for the shield and befor you know it you got 32 inventory slots and 32 "puppet slots".

[rugged bridge]

But a rule of thumb is that no matter what direction any game takes, there will always be someone to complain, aggressively.

[rugged bridge]

True that, everyone's got their own opinion of how it should look like. Personally I'm used to survival games with seperate sections for clothing and/or equipment

[nocturne wolf]

Nothing is in your pocket though, the inventory is simply a list of all items accessible to your character

[merry pebble]

Well basically if anything qol Is done to the game people (mostly the same people over and over again honestly) go and: "why wasnt this done this and that way instead" or "why wasnt this done earlier". There Is always something 🙂

[pliant hatch]

Ooooooooohhhhh. THAT's why we don't get horses.

We don't have horse pockets! 💡

[vocal rivet]

You're not using your horse correctly.

[rugged bridge]

Make sure they're able to climb up 90 degree angles too

Or it won't be a true gaming horse

[vocal rivet]

Not every game is RDR2.

[rugged bridge]

As I recall, valheim allows you to climb slopes that are quite sharp so I believe I brought up the reference to my friend, my character feels like your average video game horse (on mountains)

[rugged bridge]

On this note though, it's pretty much people just finding something to complain about huh? Even if they're satisfied with what they get, they're unsatisfied with how late they got it.

[inland wraith]

do the black marble bench and table add to rest bonus or does it require a round/long table and a throne?

[light moat]

Hey now, I don’t recall anyone being upset about the barley flour stack size change

One of my favorite things about the bog witch update lol

[regal spoke]

If our character is wearing the items, they shouldn't take up slots at all. I still think the mod that corrected this should be vanilla

[light moat]

Inventory slots are simply one of those things everyone kinda has their own opinions about 🤔 one of the hot topics, I suppose.

[tiny tiger]

How will that work when you die then

I do see a valid reason for having a way to increase slots tho, especially as the game gets more and more items

[regal spoke]

Just like it does now. Items in inventory go back where they were. Clothing would either auto equip or need to be equipped from inventory.

[pliant hatch]

Other than "smart inventory management", I s'pose?

[signal falcon]

bruh

[vocal rivet]

Oh, hello again.

[rugged bridge]

Well to be fair, it's not like inventory management matters much when you're playing with multiple friends

[pliant hatch]

Not if you agree about who picks up what.

[regal spoke]

Ive been playing Valheim on servers since year two of ea. Inventory management still matters.

[signal falcon]

there are popular public servers like comfy valheim and journheim

[azure yacht]

That would not make sense, you are suggesting that people THINK and PLAN things ahead. The correct course of action is to DEMAND devs to adapt the game to each individual player

Yes, that means each and every one of the +20k playing right now

We need 100000 more sliders

[rugged bridge]

Yeah, what I meant is the more players the less you have to worry about having open slots, that's the point I wanted to get across. Whereas as solo, you do have to worry about it

[regal spoke]

Don't be ridiculous. Oh it's Rianu

[vocal rivet]

OK? And you can join them from the server list.

[light moat]

Inventory slots are like politics at the dinner table…. Best not talked about

[regal spoke]

Apparently

It's not even moor slots for me. Just intuitive. But whatever

[orchid kayak]

Modded Valheim still crashing for anyone?

[vocal rivet]

Only if the mods aren't updated.

[signal falcon]

THERE IS NO SERVER LIST

[vocal rivet]

Yes there is.

[rugged bridge]

But it's the perfect scene.. four vikings sitting around a longtable with multiple feasts on it, discussing inventory slots.
Suddenly the food turns into ammunition

[azure yacht]

What is your definition of a server list?

[vocal rivet]

Apparently not a list of servers.

[signal falcon]

a ingame list where u can see all the online severs

[vocal rivet]

Why would you want it INgame, when you can't join them from there?

[azure yacht]

This is making less and less sense

[exotic cradle]

Basically he wants an MMO with servers you can join?

[regal spoke]

Conan Exiles server list

[vocal rivet]

Apparently the server list we have isn't the server list he needs. Which is a shame, I guess.

[exotic cradle]

WoW server list

[regal spoke]

Even though one would click join on 90% of the list and run into a password prompt

[amber inlet]

Tem previsão do bioma novo? Ou alguma notícia?

[exotic cradle]

Dunno if yall are purposefully acting out here but it's clear what the person isking for ^-^ just a global server list, not private or hosted, even though Valheim doesn't have that

[vocal rivet]

Um, probably not?

[exotic cradle]

Not yet and English only ^-^

[vocal rivet]

That's not what they're asking for.

Becuase if it was, we HAVE that.

[signal falcon]

where

[exotic cradle]

I'm gonna disengange

[regal spoke]

Insert Homer Simpson meme backing into hedge?

[exotic cradle]

Yes I do NOT wanna get capsed by Derek-chan on this glorious wednesday

[regal spoke]

Fair play. I'm just enjoying lunch. No popcorn required

[vocal rivet]

Um, on the Join Game tab.

[regal spoke]

On Xbox and PC it shows me a large list of available community servers

[signal falcon]

yea but its very bad

[regal spoke]

We can make a favorite list. But a filter would be handy.

[vocal rivet]

The filter box is at the bottom.

[signal falcon]

derek you arre insufferable

[regal spoke]

Now I feel dense. Please wash your hands Derek. Removing someones head from their ass is dirty work lolol

[vocal rivet]

For repeatedly answering your questions?

[signal falcon]

for being dumb

[vocal rivet]

How am I being dumb? I've love to hear this one.

[signal falcon]

you'll figure it out eventually

[vocal rivet]

Excuse me for not understanding what you meant by 'We need a feature that we already have'.

[regal spoke]

I've been confidently wrong. But at least have the humility to accept it.

[light moat]

I don’t even know what’s being discussed anymore 😅

Sooo yeah guys, seals!

[zealous thicket]

How do you all like to fight the fallen valkyries?

[tacit crystal]

Crossbow initiative and spear hitting/throwing.

[zealous thicket]

Like a sneak crit with the crossbow and then transitioning over to the spear? Or do you continue to use the crossbow throughout

I have been too scared to throw my spear into the sky at them so far 😭

[tiny tiger]

Crossbow for 2-3 shots while it’s approaching then Mistwalker or thundering berserker i find works well

[tacit crystal]

If seeing one before it spotted me I can shoot 2-3 shots and when it's close enough I switch to spear. It's quite large so missing is hard.

Also, since it's usually elevated a bit higher the regular spear hits can reach it after parrying.

[signal falcon]

any good dedicated servers to play on

[vocal rivet]

Can't guarantee the quality, but there are plenty in #1024264966712340510

[zealous thicket]

I will use your words as encouragement to throw the spear next time after a parry. We have the mistwalker but after parry it seems to miss a lot

[zealous thicket]

Do you have any recommendations for when to swing on it and when to not? Its sweet tony hawk 900 move seems like a no go so far

[tacit crystal]

Yeah, after parry it would be good idea so it stays still for a moment.

It takes some training to become confident with throwing.

[zealous thicket]

I lost one of my early game spears tossing it so I try to avoid throwing it up but I suppose now is the time to try something new

[pliant hatch]

You may consider to craft a bunch of "low cost" ones - like the flint spear - so you can practice the throwing.
At least you won't loose "expensive" materials when you can't find the spear.

[tacit crystal]

You could train throwing at approaching Asksvin too. Thorin's idea doesn't sound bad either.

[zealous thicket]

I have used the spear all game, I am not that bad of a shot that I can't hit the broad side of an askvin haha

[pliant hatch]

The "advantage" of my idea is that you can practice it in a lower biome.

Like using the flint spear in the Black Forest and use it on the greydwarves.

When you got the hang of that, move to the mountains and use it on wolves and - more important - drakes. Can craft the Fangspear at that point as well.
Then move to plains, Mistland and by the time you're got the hang of it you can give it a shot - well throw actually - in Ashland.

[zealous thicket]

Maybe I will craft a few of the flint spears just to test where to aim on the valks model and try to get past the gear fear

[signal bloom]

I started using spear after joelkkii recommended it for valks.

My confidence level is about 5/100 and my throwing skills are still dog water 🤣

But I'm getting there slowly haha

[tacit crystal]

Yeah, another one to spear gang! 🤝

[regal spoke]

There's a glowy bit* in their abdomen I aim for. Knowing your lob at varied distances is the defining point

[zealous thicket]

Oh I love this info thank you

[tacit crystal]

Fang spears are also cheap to craft. And if you have lots of flametal, even regular Splitnirs are.

[merry kindle]

is the deep north the last biome to be added on the roadmap or are there still more?

[merry pebble]

Well, there really is not any roadmap, there was at one point but was scrapped. However yes, Deep north will be the last biome added and it will also be the 1.0 update 🙂

[plush umbra]

haha same - i starting playing valheim like a week ago - i'm on day 43 and my map just has so many deaths... i'm still stuck in black forest and struggling 🥲

[merry kindle]

ok thank you

[shy marlin]

Little late to the party but spear throws follow the same slope as the crude bow

So if you want to practice use the crude bow and wood arrows

[final hinge]

I hope the ocean gets more content before 1.0. So that it can be complementary to more biome progression like it already is for the black forest and swamps.

Or even after 1.0. Would be nice if we could get DLCs in the future.

[vocal rivet]

We're not getting more content after 1.0.

[final hinge]

What's your source there major?

[vocal rivet]

The devs. Repeatedly.

[nocturne wolf]

#suggestion-discussion message

[final hinge]

Bummer. Well at least the modding community is lively.

[vocal rivet]

So are the devs, to be honest.

[final hinge]

When did I imply they weren't. They've been working on this for years. A cutoff point is still dissapointing to hear about.

[vocal rivet]

You'd want them to develop the game forever? That's daft.

[azure yacht]

Not really, it's the best course of action

Developing the same game forever is a trend that should die asap

[final hinge]

I never said that either. You're daft. The possibility of something in the future would be neat because I'd pay for it.

[azure yacht]

That "something in the future" could perfectly be a new game

[vocal rivet]

They've also ruled out paid DLC.

[final hinge]

Which is their choice. Maybe they will make something else I like as much as Valheim, but it won't be more Valheim.

It's currently on pace to be my most played steam game.

[signal bloom]

Only a sith speaks in absolutes

[vocal rivet]

Or people that know what they're talking about.

[signal bloom]

Smh something said today can change tomorrow.

You see it all the time with things like bands stating "its our last tour ever!!" Then you see them touring again less then a decade later

[final hinge]

This guy is in every chat being short with everybody he responds to. I get what the flowers mean now. It's a warning sign.

[steady bough]

Hes one of the best ragebaiters ive ever seen, everytime I drop in chat hes beefing with someone over nothin

[vocal rivet]

Eh? The flowers represent Spring. Many members of the server have them.

[signal bloom]

Whats special about spring and the flowers? Why are they there year round?

[vocal rivet]

I have no idea. Smiffe just never removed them and we kinda like them.

[steel tree]

Every public place has people that are sometimes best left unengaged; it's your choice at the end of the day

[final hinge]

Maybe I should explore the block feature. Never done that before.

[signal bloom]

I have done it before its great!

(Not here though)

[vocal rivet]

And the world has become a better place.

[final hinge]

And the mods just tolerate it? Sounds like some white knight privilege.

[cosmic igloo]

@exotic cradle

[steady bough]

I think hes friends with one of them so they just kind of turn a blind eye. Pretty unprofessional IMO but it is what it is

[cosmic igloo]

afaik he has contributed a lot to some valheim wiki

[exotic cradle]

what

[cosmic igloo]

so if they were to punish him, perhaps he were to retract all of that, idk

[steel tree]

Imo this conversation feels like it's gone far enough, can we return to Valhiem that we all love?

[cosmic igloo]

just wanted to show another example of what we talked about previously

[exotic cradle]

what were you talking about

[cosmic igloo]

#valheim-chat message

[exotic cradle]

oh honey do you think I memorize this chat

[cosmic igloo]

nope, but i linked

[signal bloom]

I feel like your username its very hard to pronunciate samaramon

[exotic cradle]

thanks

[regal spoke]

I think of Pokemon... Samara-mon

[plush umbra]

did they update the requirements to make sausage etc.

[exotic cradle]

yes but digimon

[regal spoke]

Ahhh fr

[regal spoke]

Same ingredients. Perhaps qtty changed

[merry pebble]

Nope

[vocal rivet]

You're probably missing turnips, that's usually the one people miss.

[final hinge]

I still don't like that we makes sausages out of bloated fat zombies colons. But it's kinda funny.

[merry pebble]

Yep, turnips for the upgrade 🙂

[regal spoke]

Now I got the theme song in my head. Quick can I get our beloved deer noise to cancel it out

[exotic cradle]

No it stays

[nocturne wolf]

Do you not trust your own character’s cooking abilities?

[chrome badge]

My name comes from Digimon as well haha, Omnimon

[robust token]

Least diabolical food

[final hinge]

His cooking skill level speaks for itself. But it's just always been a little unsettling.

[nocturne wolf]

Have you ever eaten bloated fat zombies colons?

At least it’s not neck tails

[regal spoke]

Once prepared like menudo

[final hinge]

I've eaten pickled sausages. That's probably the closest thing.

[chrome badge]

Still better than the rotten ooze we use for Muckshakes tbf

[regal spoke]

But it brings that lovely fermented essence

[final hinge]

Neck tails are probably like alligator tail meat. Tastes like chicken.

[regal spoke]

I'm gonna need some oil for this

[nocturne wolf]

Eating a neck tail means killing a neck

[final hinge]

Hey man it picked the fight with me. You'd think being a spirit creature it would be deterred by the magics coursing through my weapons and armor.

[echo wind]

They have a very recognizable Necky taste

[nocturne wolf]

You were trespassing on their pond!

[echo wind]

Not a single Neck has been capable of showing me a deed

[nocturne wolf]

Their arms are too short and their teeth are too sharp, what do you want them to do

[final hinge]

Are the lizards from the ashlands related to necks by the way? I would assume they look the same on purpose.

Which I think is cool if so

[merry pebble]

They are literally old necks 😄

[final hinge]

Ah cool. That's awesome.

My group is doing it's third playthrough and we have yet to actually set foot in the ashlands. But despite my best efforts I haven't been able to stay 100% spoiler free.

I've seen screenshots and such

Just need to kill the Queen.

[echo wind]

Freddy Mercury?

[final hinge]

No not that Queen.

[rugged bridge]

Feel you there, that's why I did my one playthrough as soon as it came out in the beta client

It's quite difficult to avoid spoilers for a big game

[regal spoke]

There's a decent amount of things that aren't hand held in Valheim. Searching for answers will lead to spoilers

[glossy dune]

Mistlands are so beautiful when it's not misty 🙂

[regal spoke]

The mist makes me appreciate the land more when a clearing is found

[austere solar]

anyone else having trouble joining friends server?

[regal spoke]

No mods involved? Were you connecting good and now not?

[mellow hill]

any info about northland release date?

[vocal rivet]

Deep North? Only what is in #news

[placid dust]

soo we've already seen the first Deep North creature as the Seals

my question is what else do the people speculate might come? idk if i should imagine more monster-like creatures like morgens or animal-like creatures like the seals
my wild guess is some sort of yeti or maybe a water creature, i wonder if well see dverger also in Deep North

[tiny tiger]

I think some kind of take on polar bears is highly likely

[shy marlin]

In before frozen cores in the deep north

[vocal rivet]

Yeah, I could see that happening.

[tiny tiger]

Biggest thing on my wish list is some kind of huge overworld dungeon superstructure with dungeons within it

Like a cross between charred fortresses and sealed towers but even bigger still

[shy marlin]

honestly i just hope that the ending is cool

want the boss to be the ultimate challenge and then be able to rest and see odin or something idk

[light moat]

I hope we get a huge catalogue of gear 🤔

[tiny tiger]

Do you guys know what the two trophies next to queen trophy are? I’m pretty sure they’re the only 2 I’m missing and I know for a fact one is the seeker soldier trophy as I’ve never gotten it but what could the other one be?

[rugged bridge]

The "ultimate challenge", a boss where each one of its attacks reduces your FPS to 3!

[tiny tiger]

Fader 2?

[rugged bridge]

Why don't we just call it Gradpa or something, keep the family tree growing

[shy marlin]

Pc issue 😏

[rugged bridge]

Never underestimate my toaster!

[tiny tiger]

Okay found a guide online it’s the hare and seeker soldier trophy that I’m missing

I didn’t realise hares dropped trophies this entire time I thought they were like greylings

[rugged bridge]

Well.. Ashlands did introduce a volture (I wonder what it's inspired by). By the looks of the trailer the seals do look different than just regular seals so I think it's fair to imagine both. Personally I think (or rather, am hoping for), we'll get introduced to frost giants, it just really makes sense to me lore wise, plus fighting big creatures in valheim is always a cool experience

I also hope we keep our dvergr buddies in the deep north since they're in both the mistlands and the ashlands, it wouldn't do for them to abandon us now

[azure yacht]

I don't understand what's the obession with frost giants, why not hope for an enemy that is not the most cliché creature in the entire norse mythology?

[tiny tiger]

Hmm I imagine it would be too cold for them and they serve as a difficulty reduction in the mistlands and Ashland’s by aggroing and taking out enemies

[azure yacht]

They aren't your friends really

[tiny tiger]

Just because it’s cliche doesn’t mean that a good execution of it wouldn’t be rad as hell

[azure yacht]

Something more unique >>>>>>>>

[tiny tiger]

They can add a unique twist to it ?

[azure yacht]

True, they could make a giant that's actually human-sized

[rugged bridge]

I enjoy norse mythology, a simple reason as any to hope for it

[rugged bridge]

Why not? They make the perfect hostility distractions, and they're great target dummies. What more could you want in a friend in valheim?

[azure yacht]

Because they can and will not hesitate to kill you just because you shot a projectile too close to them and become another nuisance you now have to deal with

[tiny tiger]

So friends as long as you don’t attack them? Seems reasonable

[rugged bridge]

Are you saying that if someone shot a crossbow bolt next to your face in real life you would turn the other cheek? Lol

[rugged bridge]

True, but I like the introduction of wandering NPCs that can be found in groups and/or encampments over the biome, it makes it feel more alive you know?

[tiny tiger]

Yeah I see what you mean, but with that I propose it doesn’t have to be dvergrs for a third biome in a row, we have stone golems fighting wolves and drakes in the mountains and tars fighting everything in the plains, skeletons in Black Forest which all make those biomes feel more alive

[azure yacht]

If it's by complete accident yes, totally

[tiny tiger]

How would you program accidentally damaging an enemy

[lunar sapphire]

Ashlands

Friendly fire

[cobalt canyon]

"Oops. tree fall"

[tiny tiger]

Right but I mean more a dvergr being able to tell whether you damaged them on accident or on purpose

[rugged bridge]

Use the pleading emote within 5 seconds or get a fireball to your face

[cobalt canyon]

So far the best solution anybody's come up with is flat out hit tolerance

[tiny tiger]

Like a freebie hit?

[cobalt canyon]

mhm. That I've seen at least

[oak river]

I think that if your weapon hits both a dverger and a hostile enemy at the same time the dverger shouldnt take damage from that attack and they'll stay friendly

[rain tapir]

New player here friends got me into the game today

Any YouTubers or links to follow and understand more about the game?

[light moat]

There’s a YouTuber called Embr, she has really solid videos.

But honestly, the game is fairly simple, alot of fun is kinda learning as you go. Hope you enjoy!

Is there like a tier for armour and weapons and crafting?

[light moat]

Yeah, gear is tiered by biomes. Think of the biomes like they’re levels- level 1 being meadows.

[warped willow]

Is it a good idea to know if you're good enough to do the boss if you kann kill any enemy of the biom with maleé?

[rain tapir]

What’s the tier of biomes?

[warped willow]

The game is real fun, but when you want to build cool houses you ned a half architecture exam ;D

[warped willow]

Meadows, dark forest, swamp.... (these are the first bioms till then you've learned the basics)

[rain tapir]

Lool I’m an engineer and a love for building too so honestly I feel like I might be in my comfort zones

Okie okie

[old ginkgo]

yo guys how to kill eitkhyr im low level and new

[warped willow]

Spear and bow

[light moat]

Bring good food; cooked dear meat, honey, and cooked boar should be good

[plush umbra]

@rain tapir the samus pfp caught my attention so i stalked ur Spotify. You have good taste 😅

[signal falcon]

There is a server, Comfy Valheim, that claim they have 52 online players, is that really true? Seems very high

[mystic gale]

was the new optimization patch noticable? Should i still buy the new amd GPU? Will my mega build village kinda work better now on my server?

[tidal bison]

god I hate drakes

even though we're in the mistlands they're still annoying little shits

They keep attacking our mountain village

[nocturne wolf]

Maybe some ballistas would help

[tiny tiger]

If you’ve seen the video by jj the builder where he made the dvergr bastion in the Ashland’s I believe he made a Reddit post saying that build went from 12fps* to 30-40 after the patch

[mystic gale]

Oh wow! Gotta try logging in later if there is a similar change

[tiny tiger]

And that build he couldn’t finish because the game stopped allowing snapping points because of all the instances concentrated in that area lol

30k+ instances

[tacit crystal]

Light armor made of ||seal hides||, grants ||buff called "Seal's Endurance||.

[nocturne wolf]

What would that do?

[tiny tiger]

90% swimming stamina reduction

You can finally be one with the necks

[nocturne wolf]

No that should be the magic armor

[tiny tiger]

Just a wizard in a neck costume?

[nocturne wolf]

I’ve said enough times that I want summoned necks 🪄

[tiny tiger]

I feel like the seal armor would be the heavy armor tho coz they fat

[nocturne wolf]

We’ll need to wait and see what other materials are available. There could definitely be something more suitable for light armor out there

[tiny tiger]

Seal blubber buff which grants very resistance to fire and frost at the cost of like 20% movement penalty or something

[nocturne wolf]

20% move penalty is far too much, people would just keep their flametal armor instead

[tiny tiger]

give the full armor set resistance to blunt

🤔

It’s a fair trade off, you’re a tank that’s very resistant to fire and frost, resistant to blunt but you’re just slow as hell

[tacit crystal]

But you'd probably make the armor from the hide instead of fat?

[tiny tiger]

Making it armor set bonus makes you not able to have both resistance to blunt and piercing

At high running skill and with ratatosk you’re still faster than you are in the early game

[tiny tiger]

That is a fair point

[nocturne wolf]

High movespeed penalty works well on held equipment because you can instantly unequip them by putting them on your back. You can’t take your armor off so easily.

[tiny tiger]

It would be a different play style for sure, using S to dodge wouldn’t be the case you’d have to use ways that don’t conserve stamina to mitigate damage

[nocturne wolf]

I’d make the heavy armor -7% movespeed with a set bonus of +10-20% stagger limit

[tiny tiger]

Increasing the stagger limit?? For the guy that’s generating his own gravitational field?

[lyric raven]

Game seems to hate me, I tamed an asksvin after few days exploring. Found a second one few days later, while fixing the cage for the new one, a wild fallen valkyrie appeared and killed the tamed one 😭 Now I need to find another asksvin

[nocturne wolf]

It’s better than near invincibility vs 3 damage types. Resistances are very overpowered.
