[hollow topaz]

i also have a question

after 1.0 will there be more updates

[tribal trench]

lol man... my rocky pet looks dead X_X they are sooooo cute

[near furnace]

yes

[manic ruin]

you have experience in unreal?

[near furnace]

unity engine version: 2022.3.50f1

[near furnace]

personally, only little

[manic ruin]

nice

[near furnace]

and no, valheim wouldn't look "better" if we used unreal

we choose low poly graphics as a style choice

[manic ruin]

😔

[manic ruin]

would you be interested in making a game in unreal with me👀

[near furnace]

no 👀

don't have time for it 👀

[hollow topaz]

low poly is what makes the game different

[manic ruin]

😔

[manic ruin]

fair

[trim nacelle]

Have to work on a better pitch. Make someone interested before you offer

[near furnace]

[manic ruin]

I know lol I just wanna be straight with em

[manic ruin]

my unity wont download and keeps going into loop validation

[near furnace]

I got enough work in my normal workdays and also helping friends on the side with their projects 😄

[robust token]

I watched a video and the person mined Muddy Scrap Pile from the surface, how?

[trim nacelle]

Explain surface

[near furnace]

could be modded or custom made world

[robust token]

#screenshots message

[near furnace]

or they used the wishbone in swamps and found it under the normal swampy, muddy dirt 😄

[trim nacelle]

Yes you can find the piles outside of the crypts.

[robust token]

huh.. that's new

[hollow topaz]

its a waste of time though theres hardly any

[trim nacelle]

Not new

[robust token]

to me it is

[trim nacelle]

Well, yes than

[trim nacelle]

It’s something to keep in mind when you are unfortunate and can’t find a swamp with crypts.

[hollow topaz]

small swamp

[sleek siren]

Ah i see, thanks for the info 👍

[raven heron]

fishing during rain is impossible. noted.

[rain flare]

FIshing during rain is usually unecessary, as the fish just jump into your hands when it rains 😆

[raven heron]

that is true

[sinful vessel]

guys, how can i create server to play 24/7 with my friends on old worlds?

[wary bane]

I sometimes build fish traps out of thatch roof inverted corners. Build it in the water at just about water surface level and make sure its near a shoal of fish and just let the waves do their work, all you have to do is pick up the fish quick when the waves dip

[vocal rivet]

You'll need to set up a dedicated server either on your own machine or rent a third party one. The guys in #dedicated-server will be able to help.

[shy marlin]

Hi that’s me, didn’t use a wishbone, basically you can use the sledge to look for numbers in the ground and find iron that way

[finite nimbus]

do mods work for you guys?

[merry pebble]

If you have issues with them then folks in #mods-issues might know how to fix it 🙂

[little crypt]

I tried VHVR but with no luck. Apparently it hasn't worked for severaly months and no one is responding in their forums anymore.

[robust token]

Oh it's the legend who dodged Fader's all attacks!
Didn't know iron is possible that way, thanks for letting me know :D

[shy marlin]

yup it's very tedious would not recommned

[robust token]

So you're telling me, I can use wishbone to find iron in swamps? Is it practical?

[robust token]

I probably won't do that as I'm quite new to the game lol

[shy marlin]

You certainly can I wouldn't bother with it though

By the time you have the wish bone you should have the swamp key which means you can do crypts which are a much faster and a more efficient way to get iron

[rain flare]

It’s practical, but the amount of iron you would get is practically useless compared to raiding crypts

[robust token]

hmm, I see
I also did realize that you turned on the loot multiplier during that run to save some hassle

[shy marlin]

yea, 1.5x is also just really nice, i turned 1.5x on tho because of withered bones, the only way to get withered bones in that run is from the chests in the 3x spawners in the swamps (overworld muddy scrap piles very very rarely drop withered bones), took probably 8 ish hours to get all the withered bones needed from chests

[rugged mica]

Anyone else tried undervolting an RX 7800XT for Valheim? If so, how low were you able to drop your mV?

[regal spoke]

I asked about this. Rocky as the head of an armor stand. Glorious...

[river elm]

do luxes come with star lvl?

[merry pebble]

Nope, only 0 star loxes

[fiery jacinth]

Hello, fellow vikings!

[echo wind]

What's the deal with all these pet rocks I'm seeing in #screenshots

[near furnace]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=75n4gxQ0RfE

[wary oak]

yes?

[finite nimbus]

hm i get insta crash on launch

[wary oak]

then its the mod

[finite nimbus]

i only used valheim+

[near furnace]

when did you play last?

[finite nimbus]

i tried installing 2 days ago and im playing right now

[wary oak]

my head hurts

[near furnace]

sometimes the client crashes because the user ALT+tab or clicks while the game loads

[tacit crystal]

Folks in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202550198174486599 could help with your problem.

[meager fossil]

Do surtlings respawn in the swamps fire pits?

[merry pebble]

Yep, every 5 minutes

[meager fossil]

Thanks!

[glad schooner]

I really hope they have an enemy in the deep north called Cold One so I can say I'm cracking open a cold one with the boys

[nocturne wolf]

George is a cold one

[glad schooner]

I'm not familiar with George, can he be cracked open?

[azure yacht]

https://valheim.com/news/development-blog-venturing-forth

https://youtu.be/kTHqJ1LWs70

[lunar sapphire]

ooh, random video

[tacit crystal]

Suspicious link.

[glad schooner]

Oh is George the ||frozen greydwarf||? Honestly he looks so peaceful, doesn't seem honorable to Crack him open

[final hull]

Is it better to build a full base in the mountains or just transport silver out?

[merry pebble]

Transport, pushing carts down the mountain is always fun 😄

[nocturne wolf]

And boats too

[merry pebble]

Ah, true 😄 but carts are easier imo

[final hull]

Ok thanks. That’s what I was thinking since I don’t think you can plant there

[plush umbra]

got a mote around an earth wall on our world for our castle n perch love jumping out of it

[hard mist]

is it viable to skip padded armor and go straight for carapace?

[plush umbra]

carapace?

i may just not be that far in game but whats that

[hard mist]

carapace armor

mistland tier set

[plush umbra]

ohh ok

and when is padded?

plains set?

[hard mist]

yes plains

[plush umbra]

is it evemn worth making when u can make that root armor from aboms?

id say skip but im not that far yet

i feel plains youd be better off in abom armor made from thei root and after that if ur in mist then yeah, from what ive heard n seen it sounds like padded armor may be as useless as the raft

[hard mist]

yeah i think im skipping padded cuz it seems kinda useless and im lazy colecting blackmetal

[plush umbra]

true ive heard ts a pain to collect

[trim nacelle]

The reality is, you won’t know what works for you and your play style till you try it. You can make anything work, but one will be easier than the other.

[plush umbra]

true

[true steppe]

Padded doesn't use black metal, and youll still have to deal with all the goblins if you want that wisp light

Padded armor is easy, just grow tons of linen and hit up the swamp for more iron

100 armor and the bonesmass buff and conquering the plains isnt bad

Also padded looks cool with the blue black metal shield and sword

I don't really wanna deal with the mistlands until I kill yag. Fog is a bitch

Spawned in a couple 2 star lox and tamed and watched them both devastate a goblin town

Deathsquito barely phase them

[hard mist]

yeah youre right padded doesnt use blackmetal silly me

[ember panther]

Use some padded imo. I just used the chest and helmet. Kept fenris legs to go faster

After beating the plains boss you'll get goblins spawn at night everywhere so blackmetal supply comes right to you

[lunar sapphire]

Slight correction, meadows, Black Forests, and mountains*

[slim remnant]

or if you're still in plains you could swap the padded chest for the root harnesk, it massively reduces the damage you take from deathsquitos and fuling spears

[ember panther]

Truue also less movespeed restriction

[thin sky]

nearly 80 days in with 0 deaths on my first playthrough and I just nearly got killed by mf tree 💀

[meager fossil]

You should be ashamed of yourself. Getting killed by a tree....-spits on ground- SHAME!

Lets not talk about how I died on day 1 from a tree, and a few days after again

[nocturne wolf]

If you haven't been killed by a tree you haven't played Valheim

[true steppe]

The forest is moving...

[meager fossil]

Dont let it get to you Anakin. Use the force

Kill even the young'uns

[plush umbra]

broooo

this!!!! ❤️

[serene onyx]

Is there any new estimated date for end of early access? I have been waiting for the full game release to finally play Valheim. As the 2 years period is passed now, I would just like to know how much longer estimated time it may be for full release.

[nocturne wolf]

The developers haven't said anything but it is unlikely to release before 2026. It releases when it's ready!

[serene onyx]

ok so likely 1 more year at least thank you

[meager fossil]

Its gonna be fantastic. Assuming they keep up the steam! So far the game has gotten so much better each update (in my opinion). It seems to me they are getting more and more skilled. So full release, I will expect, will be a huge success. I cant wait!

[plush umbra]

about to craft my 1st drauger bow

[meager fossil]

@plush umbra Nice! Its a nice bow. Worth maxing out tbh. You'll appreciate that when venturing the mountains

[plush umbra]

yeah im crafting it a bit late haha

[hearty pelican]

It’s so nice I got it last night

[plush umbra]

alrdy halfway done with mountain biome

[plush umbra]

hell yeah

[hearty pelican]

Are you playing on a server?

[plush umbra]

me n my brother have a world

[ember panther]

Draugr bow is my favorite one tbh. It's perfect 👌

[meager fossil]

Its incredibly satisfying to hit something for 90% and watch the last 10% tick away

[ember panther]

Drakes especially

[meager fossil]

Exactly 😄

[hearty pelican]

I dmd you

[plush umbra]

lmao yeah cant wait to fuck up some drakes

[fresh terrace]

Maybe a mod can be made that does that

[meager fossil]

@plush umbra If you have access to plains, it can be worthwhile to farm some of those ahole mosquitos for needle arrows

[merry pebble]

Nah, you punch those

[ember panther]

Tbh I've been using fenris claws a lot this playthrough n thought of you when I killed one with them. I also beat up a gjall with them before I had a crossbow lol

[merry pebble]

Bare fists give you much more satisfying punching experience tho

[meager fossil]

Ever since someone pointed out your name, and Ive seen a Drake in game, Ive thought "Now, how can I actually PUNCH that?" 😂

[merry pebble]

With a bit of clever positioning 😄

[meager fossil]

Have you ever KILLED a drake by punching it?

[merry pebble]

Oh yes, and that is how i got my name, since Hyper (one of the moderators) was in the vc when i was streaming at the time and saw it xD

You may notice that he is also a puncher, but of birds 😄

[meager fossil]

Hahaha! 🤣 Thats impressive

[finite nimbus]

i hate swamps

[merry pebble]

They are a step up in difficulty 🙂 i wouldnt make a base in there but they are not that bad

[wooden tapir]

what a legendary way to get your name

a true viking

[merry pebble]

I was lucky pretty much 😄 he had sliver of health left after poison arrow and i have already put away the bow, so i jumped and punched him

[wooden tapir]

worth

ill have to try to become Puncher of Gjalls

[merry pebble]

Good luck with that xD

[wooden tapir]

it would be truly legendary tho

[merry pebble]

Gonna be pretty hard i think

[wooden tapir]

but not impossible

[merry pebble]

Indeed

[wooden tapir]

am i allowed flesh rippers? since they count as punching? or just strictly fist?

[plush umbra]

not there yet

[wooden tapir]

frost arrows are super useful. just need the obsidian and freeze glands

[plush umbra]

i just use these for standing braisers

[plush umbra]

yeah so far we got flint frost poison and obsididan arrows

[wooden tapir]

frost is prob your best option for most scenarios

[plush umbra]

i havnt even found nun that lives thru a wooden arrow with sneak attack and drauger bow

so we ben saving up the good ones

(not including big mobs trolls aboms golems etc)

[ember panther]

Obsidian arrows are well worth it imo since I find not much use for it otherwise and it's a huge jump in damage

[wary oak]

swamps hate you

[merry pebble]

As does most of things in valheim 😄

[wary oak]

bees loves me especially when I kidnap the queen

[merry pebble]

No no, they are happy, they dont say they love you 😄

[wary oak]

at least they're satisfied living with me

[merry pebble]

Yep, and they give you honey since they are happy living with you 🙂

[wary oak]

how do u know they don't love me

[merry pebble]

They might, be we dont know they do, since they didnt tell us 😉

[ember panther]

Skellet loves me ❤️

[finite nimbus]

blighttown>swamp

[wary oak]

fake news

[nocturne wolf]

I've never disliked blighttown as much as most people seem to

[finite nimbus]

have you tried first release 15fps blighttown?:D

[wary oak]

what is blighttown chat

[tacit crystal]

Blight town is draugr town in Meadows, correct?

[nocturne wolf]

An area in Dark Souls, it is also a swamp

[tacit crystal]

Ah, different game.

[wary oak]

Okaay

I played elden ring only

[finite nimbus]

ds1 is fire try it

ds2 is swamp among biomes

[wary oak]

nah im starting with sekiro

[finite nimbus]

and ds3 has best bosses

[plush umbra]

wow do bog witches food platers change everything!!

[wooden tapir]

100%

[vocal rivet]

Oh God...https://www.reddit.com/r/valheim/s/LFCfIZqGbP

[azure yacht]

I will just assume it was on purpose and not another case of "I am more special than most of you so I deserve an answer you would not give to any of the millions of players in the fan base"

[shy marlin]

It’s a pretty clear joke imo

[vocal rivet]

Oh, I'm fairly sure the OP is joking, but some of the replies are just... ugh.

[shy marlin]

Ah I haven’t read the replies

[vocal rivet]

They even bring up the bloody pony thing again.

[shy marlin]

Yea I try and stay away from Reddit

[vocal rivet]

There are a few subreddits I'm in that are fairly benign, Valheim sadly isn't one of them but I drop in every now and then.

[pliant hatch]

What about the "They made millions of this game, so they should've hired 25 or more devs and get the game done in 3 months"?

And in regards to that comment;

I wonder if the persons who're usually making it are the same kind of person who're winning the jackpot in a (national) lottery, spend the full amount of it within 6 months and have to apply for bankruptcy 8 months later due to being unable to pay off everything they spend money on.

My personal guess: yes, they are.

[azure yacht]

I quitted the valheim sub bc of this. Discord is the only safe valheim place I've seen so far, rest is just people crying every five seconds thinking "the vast majority of the player base demands content NOW"

Vast majority = The screamer + five others in the same comment section

[plush umbra]

is the horn just a fancy way to drink ur meads or does it boost it somehow

cuz for me atm its just fancy wall decor

[merry pebble]

Just fancy way of drinking 🙂

[wooden tapir]

i have seen this ruin so many games when devs listen to the loudest mouths rather than the people who actually spend most of their time on the game

ive also seen games get ruined by the content creators that play the game because they think they knwo best just cuz they have a following, but are actually not very good at that game so it ends up being a downfall

[ember panther]

Iron gate is just a humble indiegame studio. People can stfu

[wary oak]

no fu.cking way I js had a terrible death

[azure yacht]

From my understanding, this is happening to dark and darker. The noisy minority complain about certain stuff and devs decide to please them, screwing many other players in the process, meaning that they didn't please anyone in the end.

Devs should absolutely start prioritizing what their vision of the game is over the feedback of the player base, the feedback should only be considered as advice over the game's features, not the sole and main factor.

Players cannot be trusted with developing a game

[ember panther]

Id rather they not hire a bunch of new devs with varying opinions when the current direction has been chefs kiss 😘 👌

[shrewd void]

who will help you get to the player

[plush umbra]

Anyone notice that the bottom of the armor stand is a swastika

[azure yacht]

This is why my list of dedicated content creators is almost non-existent, the people I follow play games in general rather than base their entire channel/media on one single game.

They're just influencers with a gaming coat of paint, and because of that they usually feel superior, like steam curators. And influencers in general are just people with a superiority complex

[idle crane]

I guess there just a group of gamers that are compleshiest. They get a game and have to get it done befor everyone else they got to be the first. Mostly they complain we need more and now. They don't understand codeing and the time it takes or the bug fixes. They just want content and that's all they care about.

[nocturne wolf]

I don't think anyone has... probably because it isn't.

[wooden tapir]

I agree, I think their should be weight attached to those who invest an insane amount of time into the game tho. like players who are spending 3-5k hours in your game probably have a good idea on what is holding the game back or could be improved over those who have 200 hours and are in the casual category of gamers that just dont like certain game designs and havent thought about why they might be in place.

For example i see so many games implement changes where I just go " who even asked for this change, nobody was complaining about this stuff but we changed it anyway?"

[merry pebble]

Have you ever seen one? Besause it isnt.

[wary oak]

It literally can't get worse this death is so bad

[azure yacht]

Imagine when they find out that there's a lot more to game development than just content...

Like optimizations, bugfixing...

[wooden tapir]

yea i never understood the playerbase that only seen valheim as a " i need to rush and kill all the bosses asap" ( aside from people who actually speedrun the game) and then complain that no updates happen to bring them back

[idle crane]

For an alpha game I have to give Iron Gate and there small team a huge Thank You for working so hard on makeing such a great experance. They are pretty quick to fix and at least me this game is almost perfect with hardly any issues and that means alot. This is a great casual go at your own pace game and even better with friends. So great job Iron Gate.

[vocal rivet]

It hurts hearing Valheim described as a casual game.

[azure yacht]

For the last part, that just goes in line of devs prioritizing their wishes for what they want the game to be. The new stuff don't need to be asked for in order to be implemented, maybe it's just something they wanted and that's it? It is their game, players might have paid for it but it's the devs who are spending time, resources and mental health to deliver.

Paying for the game pales a lot in comparison to all that

[wooden tapir]

yea thats fair

[wooden tapir]

just because there is some difficulty doesnt mean its not a casual game

you can play and not play whenever you want, making it casual IMO

[idle crane]

There all sorts of difeent type of players. I guess that just something we have to deal with but I totally get ya. This game can be played any way you want that's another great way to think of it. You can make your own goals

[wooden tapir]

also for people who play competitive games where its player vs player, anything thats not is considerd casual

even if its a challenging game

[wooden tapir]

yea ive personally always thought of the bosses as a side mission. like its something i for sure plan on getting done, but im more focused on other things most of the time

the first few bosses i do kinda focus on tho since so much is locked behind them

after bonemass my focus kinda shifts

[vocal rivet]

The bosses are the only compulsory thing in the game.

[idle crane]

Well maybe not what I intended to say. More like you can do what ever you want? Fight a boss get in an epic battle. Or just build a cool creation. Explore to your hearts content. Heck even just relax picking up wood to fill your fires or next build. I find it relaxing at times. It's a game for all type of players. Did I do better this time lol.

[merry pebble]

Sandbox game 🙂

[vocal rivet]

Oh, you can absolutely do whatever you want. That's why it's become so popular.

[idle crane]

Sandbox yeah of sorts

[vocal rivet]

Of sorts? Definitely.

[idle crane]

Well it dose have a goal a direction to go. But you can go at your own pace.

[wooden tapir]

having thousands of hours in survival games ive learned how to make my own goals

[vocal rivet]

That's not contrary to anything I said.

[idle crane]

No not at all. Sorry not all ways good at typing my thoughts out.

[near furnace]

no Gorg is probably seriously addicted

[celest acorn]

just killed big deer man :D

[plush umbra]

2star wolf pack is one of mine, or like having 1 of each armor set

[pliant hatch]

The latter is a lot easier as the former. I can guarantee you that.

[wooden tapir]

last playthrough i made a farm with all the breedable animals (2 stared versions if available) and made it into a kitchen as well

and of course all the crops ( made in plains biome so all but the mistlands stuff could grow there)

[plush umbra]

we doing this as well but more for convience sake later on

just good to have stuff on hand

we will probs make a 2nd "main" base in plains when we get there

[wooden tapir]

yea i always have plenty of food made and ready, i hate running out of food

[plush umbra]

frfr, we got 2star boars tamed and breeding alrdy

its gon be hard building a base in plains that can measure up to what weve done so far

[wooden tapir]

transporting animals is a pain!

[plush umbra]

harpoon lol

[wooden tapir]

especially boars since you cant make them follow you

yea long distances still annoying

[pliant hatch]

At least wolves can swim. You just need to paddle once in a while to make sure they're able to keep up with you.

[plush umbra]

boars was ez, just get their agro with good armor and let em hit u while u slowly walk back

[wooden tapir]

no i mean moving tamed ones to your eventual farm base in the plains

[plush umbra]

oh yeah fuck all that

not happening, get new ones

[wooden tapir]

that might be more of a hassle

[plush umbra]

i found 3 2 star boar within an in game week

[wary oak]

so 7 days in-game?

[plush umbra]

yes

[wary oak]

lucky

[plush umbra]

our lucks been dumbfounding ngl

[wooden tapir]

i recently had the best luck, i spawned in next to a boar runestone that had a 2 star boar. not even 3 seconds into game and i found one

[plush umbra]

thats good luck

[wooden tapir]

hopefully it carries on

[plush umbra]

1st cultist ive ever seen faced and fought i got a trophy off it, same with 3rd one..

[wooden tapir]

last time it took me 25 nights for 2 star wolf, and 37 for 2 star askvin

[plush umbra]

hell im getting so many cult trophs we put 1 on the wall

[plush umbra]

yeah 2 star wolf we only seen 1

[wooden tapir]

took me 8 frost caves for 1 trophy ):

[plush umbra]

oooof

1st ever cave i walked out crafting fenrir hood

[wooden tapir]

they only spawn at night, and can only spawn in certain places on the mountain

[plush umbra]

yeah ik lol we just been on drakes

killed some aboms for 1st time today, that was fun

[fossil owl]

I am using JewelCrafting mod, but the stats it gives seem to be super weak.

like Sulfur gem gives a chance to fire 2 arrows between 2% and 4%, isn't that super low? if I get a perfect Sulfur on bow, I get 4% chance to fire 2 arrows?

am I missing something?

[shy marlin]

Best to ask in #mods-discussion they'd know best

[fossil owl]

ty

[plush umbra]

how dou kill a golem

[tacit crystal]

Parry and smack with iron mace.

[shy marlin]

Almost parroted @tacit crystal

[plush umbra]

i never win

are the drops good?

[shy marlin]

Eh not particularly

The trophy is neat tho

[plush umbra]

oh i bet

[zealous thicket]

Trophy is dope!

[plush umbra]

faaaawwwwkkk

[shy marlin]

Just be warned that the trophy is one of the rarest in game at 5% drop rate

[vocal rivet]

The majority of mobs in the game have a 5 or 10% drop.

[near furnace]

careful with words

[tacit crystal]

Before frost caves they were the only source of ||crystal||.

[shy marlin]

Rarity isn't based upon just the percentage though

[zealous thicket]

If you don't want to fight the golem, digging a hole and dragging him in with a harpoon is nice storage. Not as easy to do if its already mad

[plush umbra]

oo myb]

[shy marlin]

Like greydwarf trophy is 5% but you're like almost guranteed to get one eventually because of the sheer volume

[plush umbra]

bruhhh u alway do thet

[tacit crystal]

Do what?

[plush umbra]

you know what

[plush umbra]

thats crazy

[shy marlin]

Listen to rocky?

[vocal rivet]

I'm almost certain he doesn't, else he wouldn't have asked.

[tacit crystal]

I have no idea currently.

[shy marlin]

Reminder, ask yourself what rocky would do

[plush umbra]

blocking words

[vocal rivet]

You mean spoiler tagging?

[tacit crystal]

Ah, spoiler tags.

[plush umbra]

is that what it is

plz expln

[vocal rivet]

It's to stop ruining the game for people who haven't got that far yet.

[plush umbra]

how do i see it

[tacit crystal]

Click it.

[plush umbra]

ok ty

[zealous thicket]

I like the lore that Joelkkii is always hiding words from us

[shy marlin]

dunno if you join a discord that's directly related to the game you're playing for the first time and get mad at spoilers idk

[plush umbra]

that sounds horrid, what else is it even good for besides MAYBE the axe

[vocal rivet]

Windows.

[plush umbra]

fair

[tacit crystal]

I'm usually more careful not spoiling too much for newer players, hence the tags.

[plush umbra]

i tried and it wont lemme fill the middle

[vocal rivet]

You need supports. You can't put crystal next to crystal.

[plush umbra]

all g i just idnt know, thought u was hidin stuff

[tacit crystal]

It is kinda like hiding.

[plush umbra]

but the blocks are so small

i want big window

[shy marlin]

there's workarounds

[plush umbra]

plz share

[shy marlin]

I challenge you to problem solve and be creative

[plush umbra]

i even tried iron bars

i got creative

[tacit crystal]

You can build nice window with ||iron cage wall||.

[plush umbra]

alrdy done that tho

[tacit crystal]

Okay. 👍

[plush umbra]

it looks nice but we have lots of shiny stones

[shy marlin]

Almost at the end of this no food run 🤙

[wooden tapir]

you're a menace

[shy marlin]

I smell victory, and it's only possible because of Rocky.

[wooden tapir]

are you playing on hard as well?

[shy marlin]

All bosses are completed on very hard everything else is on normal

But it doesn't really matter everything at the later stages just one shots you

[wooden tapir]

true

[shy marlin]

Like plains and on it's just a no hit run pretty much with some exceptions

[wooden tapir]

i think the hardest part of no food run is the base stamina is so low

[shy marlin]

nah

You get used to it fast, and if you have good stamina habits it's fine

[hollow kestrel]

Plains actually have the least 1 shot imo

even though the mosquitos are a thing

[shy marlin]

squitos are one of the few things that don't one shot

[wooden tapir]

how do you get any attacks off a parry with 25 stam

[shy marlin]

well, you don't parry

because number one parry isn't reliant on health partly

[wooden tapir]

do you just abuse i frames from dodge?

[shy marlin]

Atgeir bow and dodge yea

[wooden tapir]

i see

[shy marlin]

little bit of sword action but the majority is just good positioning (s key), atgeir and bow as my defensives

[wooden tapir]

i guess its just a matter of being patient and not rushing

[hollow kestrel]

actually the only biomes I think you can be genuinly one shotted are the mountains, mistlands and firelands

[wooden tapir]

hes playing no food

[shy marlin]

^

[wooden tapir]

so he has 25 hp and 25 stam

[hollow kestrel]

No food?

[shy marlin]

50 stam but yea

[wooden tapir]

yea 0 food

[hollow kestrel]

Like a challenge

[shy marlin]

[wooden tapir]

exactly

[hollow kestrel]

what why sounds miserable

[shy marlin]

uh why not

[wooden tapir]

hes done a lot of challenges already

[sturdy fjord]

i would like to watch a stream of that

[wooden tapir]

scales is in here often doing different self imposed challenges

[hollow kestrel]

Im out of words lol why would you do that to yourself is beyond me lol! but if you have fun, it's all that matters

[shy marlin]

it's fun to challenge myself and push myself and grow as a player

[wooden tapir]

once you memorize every mobs attacks you can do anything you want

i have yet to do a no death run, but its on my to do list

i usually die by being impatient

if i really tried i could prob make it to the ashlands without dying tho

thats when im not sure

[hollow kestrel]

this is too real

[shy marlin]

yea deathless = prepping and be disciplined

[hollow kestrel]

like I say to myself and wait for stam to come up... but maybe if I attack it now it will die before it can swing back (clueless)

[plush umbra]

no food? i could never

[plush umbra]

me to aboms

[shy marlin]

Well you already got (NoHp) in your name it's not that far off

[sturdy fjord]

you should play with your eyes closed and hans behind your back after the no food run

[hollow kestrel]

But no food is just a nohit with extra steps

[glad knot]

Anyone know how to fix game refusing to launch? I have re-dowloaded 3 times now and done all of the things.................

[plush umbra]

b06 clan hahahaha

[hollow kestrel]

any background program running?

[glad knot]

no!

[hollow kestrel]

how much free ram you got?

[shy marlin]

I'll add steering wheel to the list

[glad knot]

32gb

32gb ram with a 3060 and great CPU idk what the deal is

[vocal rivet]

Any mods?

[hollow kestrel]

did you uninstall by deleting files yourself or used steam?

[glad knot]

used steam - no mods

[hollow kestrel]

Does it not launch at all nothing or does it launch then crash?

[plush umbra]

is ram cpu speed? (very new to pc sorry lol)

[glad knot]

small box shows for a split second then nothing

[glad knot]

well i deleted files myseld - re-download and we are gucci

THANK YOU

[vocal rivet]

So probably leftover mod files.

[hollow kestrel]

I asked beacuse steam usually leaves stuff behind

[vocal rivet]

More people streaming in VC than watching. I'll never understand that.

[wispy path]

because you can watch what your friends are doing on your 2nd monitor, what's hard to understand?

[near furnace]

atleast they follow the rules for once and only stream valheim 😄

[hot herald]

😅

[shy marlin]

petition to add what would rocky do the rules list

[near furnace]

https://tenor.com/view/never-harrypotter-angry-fire-no-gif-4751988

[shy marlin]

but why

it's a great motto

🤙

[analog pine]

Ah, if only we had access to some magic earlier on. Swamp, maybe. I do love Necromancy, but having to wait for so long to access it is such a drag.

[shy marlin]

I think if it were implemented and balanced correctly in a way it would be cool but i don't think irongate is a huge fan of earlier magic

we'll see what happens in 1.0 though

[vocal rivet]

Pretty sure they're happy with it where it is.

[shy marlin]

ye agreed

I think the message conveyed though is players desire more ways to play the game in the earlier stage

Which does have some valid criticism

[azure yacht]

Would be hilarious that they added magic weapons in early stages...

But you still need eitr from mistlands ingredients to use it

After all, you can only "cast" spells from the weapons and the character doesn't have any magic because it all comes from food

[shy marlin]

best part about the no food run is that you can't abuse magic

also hope 1.0 addresses some balancing things

[little shore]

It's a rock

[little shore]

I cut down five pine trees no pine cones, I cut down four oak trees no egg corns did I miss a nerf patch

[plush umbra]

Not sure, I get pinecones..

[olive vault]

so how big can one make a ''room'' before it stops counting as a ''room''

i have made a giant forge room and apperently its to big becuse it does not count as haveing a roof

[lime garnet]

kinda like how I explored 30+ ice caves and ZERO cultist trophies dropped

[lime garnet]

did you use floor as roof

[olive vault]

yea

or for the second floor witch i have not finished yea i did

[lime garnet]

floor is not roof

roof must be roof

[olive vault]

ah so as long as i have not finished the second floor and added a roof on there it wont count as a room

[lime garnet]

at any point, roof must be directly on top of you to count

[olive vault]

alrighty thank you

i was kinda afraid i made the room to big

[lime garnet]

well now I wonder how far the walls can be and still count as "Shelter"

[olive vault]

that would be intressting to see

[lime garnet]

i think you need to be "70% covered" for it to count, but how do they measure it? do they evaluate the box you're in or do they check for "openings" in a spherical fashion from your character?

[olive vault]

we can see if when i have added the roof on this building to see if the two giant windows i have count or does not count towards the count

[jagged breach]

Guys, im using alot of mod, is that possible to enter fly mode when using thunderstore?, i already input the devcommands but not working, any idea?

[lime garnet]

isn't fly vanilla?

[olive vault]

yea its in vanilla

[jagged breach]

So how to fly when its not vanilla?

[olive vault]

it should be the same since its dev command

[lime garnet]

haven't modded yet but if you have a lot you should do /help or something. i bet mods can override commands. also there's #mods-issues

[jagged breach]

Ahh so i posted in wrong place, Mybad,, many thanks guys XD

[mint aspen]

if I've destryed a dvergr ward, can I break crates or mine skulls without pissing them off?

[charred rune]

Cheese with Refined Eitr or smack their things with your cart.

[mint aspen]

eitr

I've destroyed it with eitr, am I ok to break stuff now?

[charred rune]

Wouldn't bet on it, the crates might still count to their team.

[mint aspen]

that's what I was afraid of thanks, luckily they break easy with eitr but I really want that skull in the middle of their quarry

[charred rune]

Skulls should be ok though

Just be prepared for dying and try out

[wooden tapir]

you can break them after the ward is gone, you can destory the entire tower if you want

[mint aspen]

not too worried about that but these guys kinda gaurd my shroom garden

[agile peak]

can't seem to share pictures, but I managed to find 2 leviathans 3 longboat lengths apart, jackpot

[wooden tapir]

can only share in screenshots channel

[agile peak]

ah, makes sense, thanks

[charred rune]

Had this with 3 Levis at some point. 😄

[agile peak]

they just sort of popped into existence as I sailed past

[plush umbra]

Frostneir is mountain teir yeah?

Made with silver?

[nocturne wolf]

Yes, it’s a silver mace

[plush umbra]

Than wt* am I missinnnggg ughhhh

Ima lose my mind

[nocturne wolf]

You need to buy Ymir Flesh from Haldor

[plush umbra]

Oh fantastic. That's that trader dude yeah?

[nocturne wolf]

The black forest trader

[plush umbra]

Well damn

I got bog witch but no trader yet smh

Any tricks to finding dude?

[nocturne wolf]

You find all traders in the same way, just in a different biome. Keep exploring and get lucky.

[plush umbra]

I found bogg witch cuz the hoe flew past me on her broom

I marked the direction she went and checked it out later and found her

[agile peak]

is Frostner even worth it?

[plush umbra]

Found out later on thats probly one the most rare things in the game or so my brother tells me cuz he didn't believe me when I said I seen her till he watched a video on it

[plush umbra]

So I've been told yes

[agile peak]

I'm using Draugr Fang and Iron Atgeir and it's working really well

[nocturne wolf]

It’s useful in mistlands because a common enemy there is resistant to physical damage

[plush umbra]

I'm using silver sword and drauger fang with scale sheild, just put my max ancient bark spear on the wall for retirement

I got a silver knife somewhere lol I should find that and throw it on the wall as well

My bow sword and shield all Max as well, i was told all 3 can be used for a long time

If not it'll just go on the wall

[agile peak]

I'll make Frostner once I'm done with mountains

just at a point where I either make a new base or stick with what I got, and I could either find an island and fortify that or do a Fortress with a moat

[deep ravine]

I explored so much new stuff today and still no pet rock...what exactly am i looking for?

[agile peak]

never made it past mountains, what do people usually do?

found a pretty decent small "island" with a natural wall on one side and a river on the other, I suppose I could raise the ground all the way around and dig a moat at the last side

it's got a runestone in the middle of it, dang it

[tacit crystal]

For the pet rock? A pickable rock that looks different than pickable stone. It can be found in meadows, black forest, swamp and mountain, but due to altitude restrictions it can be found more commonly in the first two biomes. Also over 1000m distance from the center and in unexplored areas if your world is "old" (= made before April 1st).

[deep ravine]

I thought I was in the right area.../sigh...the search continues!

[tacit crystal]

Keep goin' and you eventually find what you're looking for!

Lowering vegetation slider from graphic options can help.

There is good example how it looks: #screenshots message

[lunar sapphire]

Howdy Meowdy

[wary oak]

who's got a creative brain

[wary oak]

That's alrrr, more decoration for you!

[agile peak]

Yea, it's the shield maiden runestone, so I'm incorporating it in the build

[wary oak]

I've done a similar thing but with the rocky shelters

[glossy dune]

Any frostner enjoyers? That thing slaps even in ashlands

[azure yacht]

No one, literally the most hated weapon in the game because it's terrible

[wary oak]

ngl, some places in this game seems unbeatable as solo

[shy marlin]

You’d be wrong

[pliant hatch]

All places can be beaten solo.

As a matter of fact, all bosses can even be beaten with zero skills.
It's just a matter of adopting to the game instead of considering it as a RPG. Because it's not a RPG.

[wary oak]

I have this sunken crypt, there's a deep nest that keeps spawning enemies

by the time I kill the draughers, new ones already spawned

[shy marlin]

Focus on the spawner while avoiding the draugr

[wary oak]

they're blocking the pathage, I can't go to the nest itself unless I kill em

[pliant hatch]

It's set that way.
So think what would be the most logical thing to do.

[shy marlin]

Do you have a sledge?

[wary oak]

I could try to lure them somewhere then run to the nest

but if I die it'll be hard asf to retrieve my items

#valheim-help message

[pliant hatch]

That's not the most logical thing to do.

The most logical thing to do would be to equip a bow and shoot the thing from a distance.

[wary oak]

do you think I haven't done that already

[pliant hatch]

Or use the stagbreaker if you have that.

[wary oak]

killing them isn't a problem

the problem is killing them before new ones spawn, I'm not fast enough

[pliant hatch]

I think that listening to your environment would be a good thing.
I think that not breaking the entire muddy pile before I'm certain there isn't any danger behind it would be a good thing.
I think that using a weapon doing AoE damage when ranged or 1 handed melee weapons don't work would be a good thing.

I think a lot more, but I keep that for myself.

[wary oak]

killing them is not an issue..

I js said I kill them but new ones already spawns by the time I'm done

[pliant hatch]

What weapon are you using?

[wary oak]

bow

[pliant hatch]

Do you have a 2-handed weapon?

[wary oak]

nope, stagbreaker nah

[pliant hatch]

And I assume you removed the entire mud-pile that blocked the entrance to the room?

[wary oak]

no

I have an idea

[pliant hatch]

If that mud pile isn't gone, you can use that as shelter.
Instead of focussing at the Draugr, focus at the spawn point instead.
With a bow you are able to destroy it, as long as you keep far enough away from the mud pile so that the other Draugr can't hit you.
If there's a Draugr Archer among them, kill that one first, then focus at the spawner.

Once the spawner is gone, kill the other Draugr, then remove the last parts of the mud pile and pick up all your loot.

If you somehow get damaged to the point your health is low, retreat until you're out of range of the Draugr, drink a potion or wait for your health to come back "naturally", then move in and focus at the spawner again.

And while you prepare for your first shot, crouch as sneaking does increase your damage output.

If you have iron arrows from the chests, use those. Otherwise use flint arrows or bronzen ones if you found those.

[wary oak]

Man I appreciate your advice but I've said it 3 times I don't see the spawn point

[wary oak]

__

[pliant hatch]

It's on the floor and it got something like flies over it.

If they spawn in there, it's there.

[wary oak]

I have any idea but lets see if ots gonna work

[agile temple]

I sat still for 30 fucking minutes taming a dumbass boar just for 2 trolls and a team of greydwarfs to raid me, kill the boar and destroy my entire house

After I just spent 2 hours getting my items back that were stuck on the plains on another island, which took me 4 rafts

Are these devs fucking allergic to fun or something? Time and time again I keep wondering what the fuck sort of development choices were made to get here

[undone steeple]

Is it a skill issue tho?

[agile temple]

Fuck no it's not

What's the point of building your house somewhere safe if the op enemies are just gonna spawn on your front door

Who the fuck even thinks of making it 30 minutes to tame an animal????? 3 minutes maximum and even that's a bit much

I was planning on quitting entirely after my plains softlock but I convinced myself that maybe it'll get more fun after I get my shit back

But these devs are just something else..?? Every single design choice in the game so far makes me think it's some sort of joke

[shy marlin]

Sounds like this game isn't for you then and that's fine

[agile temple]

seriously though. "deathsquito" which spots you from halfway across the map, chases you down like a laser and does a .1ms attack which will one shot you for basically any build you have which isn't post swamp

also not being able to transport metals through portals??? which means you have to have an entire mining session on the other side of the portal or take a 20 minute boat journey with the metals on board

not to mention the 30 minute taming

[shy marlin]

There's a world modifier that allows you to port metals

[agile temple]

these design choices are anything but fun, they're just forced additional playtime

[agile temple]

yeah my friend just made the world with the default settings, we didn't know what we were getting ourselves into

oh i just realised the trolls that spawned on my house also destroyed my chest room so that's something i'll have to reorganise later

more than anything, i'm just confused. what made an entire dev team come to the conclusion that any of these features would make the game more enjoyable to play?

[regal spoke]

I've created close to 20 characters. I don't agree. The game can be speed run. Or a run can be slow rolled.

[agile temple]

both me and my friend really want to have fun and actually like this game. it's creative and looks really good, and we both know nothing about it and wanna progress together, but ever step we take it's like the game is trying to stop us from any semblance of enjoyment, all from features the devs purposefully implemented.

[regal spoke]

You'll have to change for Valheim to be realized -Rocky probably

[agile temple]

now instead of making any progress, we're gonna have to spend another 30 or so minutes rebuilding and reorganizing

[vocal rivet]

It's definitely fun.

[agile temple]

and before that, we spent hours getting our items back

[regal spoke]

Don't hide behind walls when enemies are knocking

[agile temple]

i didn't

i got murdered by the trolls

[regal spoke]

Kite away from structures

Or build defense. This is the way

[agile temple]

oh and i kid you not, it happened 5 seconds after the boar FINALLY finished fucking taming

seriously, who makes a taming process last 30 MINUTES????

these devs are something else

[regal spoke]

Iron Gate did. Deal with it or check out #mods-discussion

[agile temple]

it's as if their expertise doesn't lie in making games but rather wasting your time

oh this game has mod support? i'll look into it

[regal spoke]

Thousands play the game as is and love it. Its a you problem

[agile temple]

not everyone has 30 minutes to stay still and wait for a boar to finish taming

[regal spoke]

You can be within 40m

Go work your garden, pick rock, chop wood, fishing, smelting... You see plenty to do

[agile temple]

rebuilding my house...

reorganising the chests... finding another boar... making another pen...

you know, redoing everything i've done before instead of taking an actual step forward

[regal spoke]

Creating defense. Moat, trench, choke points

[agile temple]

maybe the game could give some sort of warning before spawning 2 enemies on my doorstep too

i see this probably wasn't the best game for me and my friend to play blind

we were pretty elated to have a game for which neither of us were experts or knew anything about really, and we tried to avoid spoilers for a while too

but damn is it unfriendly

[regal spoke]

You didn't see the bold yellow letters informing you of a raid? The Troll wasn't noisy? It's a brutal game. Makes you grow as a gamer.

[agile temple]

it's artificial difficulty

making a mosquito move at lightspeed and do 4x the amount of damage it should do doesn't make you "grow as a gamer"

it just says the developers didn't know how to make a harder enemy in a more interesting way so they inflated its stats

every enemy has basically the same AI with mildly different abilities, stats and resistances

[regal spoke]

You didn't have the correct armor and HP. YOU were out of position.

[shy marlin]

Sounds like the game isn't for you

[agile temple]

i was in my fucking house in the safest biome in the game

[silver radish]

every enemy has basically the same AI with mildly different abilities, stats and resistances
Sounds like most survival games and I've played quite a lot.

Also this is the nerfed Deathsquito; I'm actually still of the mind that prefers it BEFORE the nerf.

[regal spoke]

Apparently not so safe after all

[agile temple]

hypothetically, if we hadn't recovered our items 15 minutes ago and i decided to tame the boar before then, would i just have to sit here and watch as those 2 trolls decimate our house?

including our portal which leads us as close as possible to our lost items

[silver radish]

Nah, trolls are easy to kill once you get the hang of it. It's just a matter of learning at the moment. Game is gonna feel rough especially since you said you and your friend are new.

[regal spoke]

No you peel and guide away. Maintain aggro with noise and damage

[cold heath]

Dude. Sounds like you learned a lesson. In this game, stuff happens. Fast. Learn from it so it won't happen again 🤷‍♂️

[silver radish]

If you really want to, before loading up the world again check out the Modifiers.

[agile temple]

I'll have to ask my friend since it's his world but sure

[shy marlin]

Great mindset 🤙

[agile temple]

Can you change modifiers after creating the world?

[shy marlin]

Ye

[silver radish]

Yes, it's as soon as you go to load it up.

[agile temple]

I said if we didn't have the items, so we'd have no way to actually kill the trolls or survive a hit

[shy marlin]

So for you guys I think you'd enjoy no raids and being able to portal everything

[agile temple]

Yeah that would work

also he was afk inside the house and left the server on for me to tame the boar which is why they immediately aggroed on the house

can't wait to see his reaction when he gets back

[regal spoke]

Dash, dodge, and jump are your friend

[agile temple]

yes but if we didn't have anything on us, what were we going to do against them

[cold heath]

Run them in circles till the raid ends

[agile temple]

even if it ends do they despawn?

[cold heath]

Lead them away

[regal spoke]

You can guide them away. It would take time and stamina management

[cold heath]

The thing about Valheim is it's supposed to be brutal even lore-wise. That place is a punishment and you happen to be right in the middle of it

[agile temple]

-- lazy developers

[cold heath]

You could always go play minecraft 🤷‍♂️

[agile temple]

i understand the whole "it's like dark souls it's super hard" sentiment but you will never convince me it's not just lazy design which you're defending

like how people try to find deep lore in shallow stories

[regal spoke]

There's modifiers for no cost building and passive enemies too

[agile temple]

we'll look into it

while i'm at it, are there any better ways to prepare for bonemass?

we tried with poison resistance and maces and frost arrows but we're still getting bummed by the enemies and debuffs

and our damage is abysmally low, compared to how it kills us in just a few hits

also the draugr snipers it spawns are annoying

[regal spoke]

Tasty mead is life if you can avoid damage well

[cold heath]

Grab a big AOE hammer for the small guys. Bonemass is a wall

[regal spoke]

Optimal damage type with a nice cc effect let's go

[shy marlin]

oooo be careful with o word might rustle some feathers with that one

[regal spoke]

I was born for argy bargy

[agile temple]

warhammer?

[regal spoke]

Stag breaker

[agile temple]

oh that

what about the bonemass

our best damage source is frost arrows and we'd need like 3 stacks each to kill the bonemass with it

we usually buff up with lox meat, deer meat and a cloudberry

[cold heath]

Upgrade your iron maces as much as you can and take the fight slow. It's a long fight so prioritize not getting hit

[shy marlin]

There's way better food than that

[regal spoke]

Upgraded ofc. Better food armor and avoid as much damage as possible. You're on point with poison resist. Eikthyr and pots to maintain stam.

[agile temple]

where do you get better food?

[shy marlin]

from the cauldron

[cold heath]

Make some blood sausages and other mid-ish game food

[regal spoke]

Swamp and black forest vegetables.

[wary oak]

Naah the swamp is fr testing my patience

[agile peak]

Bonemass can be killed with stagbreaker if you stand on top of the big skull and just hit around the edges, bring lots of stagbreakers though

[agile temple]

i have 5 options on the cauldron and they're all pretty bad

[shy marlin]

Have you found carrots and turnips?

[agile temple]

where do you get the recipe

[agile temple]

no turnips

[agile peak]

I hate the swamp, much prefer mountains over the swamp

[cold heath]

Upgrade your cauldron and pick up everything you can from the swamp

[agile temple]

oh we just got raided by draugr and i got one shot, our house is now officially fucked

[regal spoke]

Upgrade the cauldron and then yourself 😉

[wary oak]

An abomination proceeds to destroy my portal and workshop, and when I try to fix it a wraith spawns on me OF COURSE

[agile temple]

and now i'm getting spawnkilled 🥲

i think i might just quit

[cold heath]

If you're in the swamp you have access to a pickaxe right?

[wary oak]

OBV

[cold heath]

Dig a big moat around your base. Ride out the raids.

[agile temple]

meadows

[agile peak]

Or raise the ground like a wall

[wary oak]

I've diggen trenches

so far I'm untouchable

[regal spoke]

wall trench

[agile temple]

can't wait to see my friend's reaction to our house being even more fucked 🔥🔥

[agile peak]

It's crazy, I'm on day 104 in my world and only had 1 raid, it was blobs though and one of them jumped right over the wall to the pig pen

[agile temple]

truly the peak gaming experience

[zealous bridge]

Don’t give up. U can improve it and overcome it

[regal spoke]

What would Rocky do?

[wary oak]

what happened, a raid?

[agile temple]

who tf is rocky

[agile temple]

yes draugr came and bummed us

[wary oak]

☠️ ☠️ u didn't buiild defenses?

[cold heath]

Sylvester stallone

[agile temple]

i'd have left the server by now but he's still afk so if i leave there's a good chance something else is gonna magically show up and destroy the house entirely 🥰

[regal spoke]

I'd put the house in boxes and work on perimeter defense

Rocky =

[zealous bridge]

No, bad vaelion lol

[agile temple]

i am burnt out af rn i ain't building shit

imma wait for him to return then we're gonna discuss if we wanna keep playing at all 👍

[bleak shoal]

You can turn off raids in the world modifiers

[agile peak]

What day are you on?

[agile temple]

yeah we will probably do that

[wary oak]

everytthing got destroyed??

[bleak shoal]

Sometimes worth imo, especially multiplayer

[agile temple]

nah just some more walls and stuff

this incident isn't terrible, it's just that 90% of our playtime has been doing things we've already done like getting our items back or going on 40 minute boat journeys

we're both burnt tf out

truly the peak gaming experience

[wary oak]

what difficulty

[agile temple]

whatever was default

i didn't even know difficulties existed

[wary oak]

y'all killed the elder right?

[agile peak]

Default is easy I think

[shy marlin]

it's normal

[wary oak]

I wouldn't stop playing honestly, js think how to approach the game differently @agile temple

learn how to kite and you shouldn't lose fights

[agile peak]

Weird, I only saw easy and hard in my options

[cold heath]

Theres a "reset to normal" or default or whatever button

[agile temple]

imma "summon" 2 bulldozers to level the developers' houses so they can rebuild it and have tons of "fun" (in their definition) getting all their progress back 🥰 (it's because they didn't randomly decide to build a trench around their houses it's their fault)

[shy marlin]

Nah getting pummelled by a troll raid is entirely a skill issue

[agile temple]

i'll give them a 10 second warning by using a megaphone to shout "the ground is shaking" before the bulldozers come in

[shy marlin]

Raid defense is a complete joke

[wary oak]

ye like js attract their attention??

[agile temple]

i was literally afk 30 minutes taming a fucking boar how tf was i supposed to know i was gonna get spawned on

[cold heath]

I remember my first "valheim" moment. I summoned eikthyr on accident and ran to my house. He followed and destroyed it. It was fun and funny. Maybe it's just not for you dude

[agile temple]

it was funny maybe the first 2 times we lost progress

[wary oak]

build trenches?

[agile temple]

not the last 20 where we're just brainlessly getting everything back

[cold heath]

It happened twice and you didn't learn? At that point it's not "randomly" building a moat lmao

[wary oak]

natural selection

[agile temple]

we didn't know trolls could spawn on our fucking house how many times do i have to say this

[wary oak]

mb I just came to the conversation

[agile temple]

i thought lobotomies weren't legal anymore holy christ

[cold heath]

Yikes

[zealous bridge]

Yea there like a raid chance every 45 min that ur within certain build pieces. Sounds like turning raids off would improve ur game experience

[agile temple]

i'll make sure to tell him once he gets back on

although i have to hop off in a couple mins so i hope the house doesn't get fucked while i'm gone

[agile peak]

I don't mind raids, I just don't get the lore behind them, the boss is dead

[wary oak]

"He who learns from every mistake will soon never make another."

[tiny tiger]

It’s the other way round tho the next bosses goons attack you not the ones you just killed

[wary oak]

ya gotta follow your advice 😭

[agile temple]

my mistake was purchasing the game

[cold heath]

Youre basically in purgatory with all of the undesirables. They just wanna fuck you up, lore wise haha

[wary oak]

LMAOO

[agile temple]

next time i won't go in blind and possibly even save a few dollars

[wary oak]

tbh the game is fun and yk that, you're just in a bad mood atm

[agile peak]

Last boss I killed was bonemass and I get swamp raids

[wary oak]

your problems are raids, now deal with it

and there's many different ways

[agile temple]

they should add an update where you can enslave greylings and force them to mine for you

[tiny linden]

get wolves!!

[agile temple]

we've never had a problem with raids before this point

[cold heath]

Oh so this is a troll. Got it, should have known lmao

[agile peak]

You can make a grey dwarf farm

[agile temple]

you can tame wolves???

[tiny linden]

yes

[agile temple]

boy am i sure glad i was properly given this knowledge through gameplay

[tiny tiger]

Tbh raid difficulty peaks midgame around mountains-plains

[wary oak]

YES

[tiny linden]

they're great for the first couple of raids/bosses

[agile temple]

i assume they can't go through portals..?

[wary oak]

the runestones u find across the map gives hints

[tiny linden]

no, but you can ship them 😄

[agile peak]

Wait for night and tame a 2 star wolf, get yourself 5 of those and no troll can get near you

[zealous bridge]

The game sure doesn’t hand hold like others. Not really a turtorial phase just calm meadows to learn on ur own with little threats

[wary oak]

some knowledge are locked behind the wiki unfort

[agile temple]

does it take another 30 minutes 🥲

[agile peak]

Wait till he learns he can tame and ride lox

[tiny tiger]

And then realises it’s useless

[eternal swan]

Hello vikings.
Is there a way to disable the new recipes when you get a new item.
I play lost of speedrun games and it get ennoying when you have all thoses windows pop to tell you the craft you just unlocked. But we allready now them 6.5k hours on the game 😅

[tiny tiger]

The only tame without star variants

Well and chickens ig

[agile peak]

Never actually made it past the mountains

[agile temple]

alr he just came back

[pallid osprey]

Anyone know if a mod for stay/follow for asksvin exists?

[agile temple]

"we should have never rejoined this game"

[shy marlin]

dunno if you're not having fun why are you playing

[regal spoke]

Look for a selection to turn off hints/raven

[eternal swan]

It is not the same. I have turned thar off long ago 😅

[regal spoke]

Oh I see. Hmm. May be a command...nope*

[agile temple]

It CAN be fun

Also we're too far out to refund so

[true tartan]

@pure bolt rocks change their expression randomly after a certain amount of time, and to my knowledge only when you're not looking at them

[light moat]

Just cut your losses and move on to the next game- we’ve all bought games that we wish we didn’t

[pure bolt]

cool. it was a fun easter egg hunt to find my friend lol

[strong lichen]

what can i do to deal with mist in mistlands?

its my first time in this biome and i cant even see my hands lmao

how do i fight seekers like that

[shy marlin]

Wisplight

[zealous bridge]

When u kill plain boss u build the wisp thingy. Collects the wisps at night and with silver and a wisp u can make a wisp light that follows u and clears the mist.

[strong lichen]

oooooooh

yeah, imma go craft it

[devout widget]

So I thought Rocky the pet rock was just an April Fool's Joke, but apparently it is something you can find?

[shy marlin]

....

[devout widget]

Not sure if that is a yes? I am probably as dense as stone...

[shy marlin]

just messin with ya yea he actually exists, explore new areas that are 1000m away from spawn or further and be between 5-20m, i've had the most success in the black forest

[devout widget]

new Black Forest areas will be hard to find for me. Still playing my original world from 2021

But I'll give it a try.

[nocturne wolf]

He only spawns in the first four biomes so don’t search plains

[shy marlin]

might be wise to look in a new world and bring rocky over to the main world then

[strong lichen]

is there a command to change carry weight?

[devout widget]

ok

[true steppe]

Anyone got the fuling totems to burn?

[shy marlin]

???????

[true steppe]

Maybe do a little yag hunt

[devout widget]

The middle number in the pos devcommand is the elevation, correct? If true, the two BFs I've tried so far are were 30m at the shoreline

[shy marlin]

not sure honestly

[nocturne wolf]

Altitude checks on vegetation generation have a 30m offset

So look between Y 35 and 50

[cyan wind]

So… when is the pet rock merch gonna drop?

[nocturne wolf]

“What would Rocky do?”

[devout widget]

ty. that makes sense.

[meager fossil]

Good evening vikings

[agile temple]

Oh so that's what they're for

I kept the one I found as a lucky charm

[zealous bridge]

Not sure about a command but there’s a trader that sells a belt that increases it and another trader that uses can unlock a potion temp increases and the Ashland boss power also increases it but that’s not helpful until the end of the game

[true steppe]

It's not gonna bring you luck

[tiny linden]

Just started a new char (3rd one) on a fresh world, killed the first boss.. this game.. so good. Always love this phase so much. Heading to the Black Forest to get me my troll gear 😛

[quick cradle]

whats the max lvl of troll armor ?

[merry pebble]

4, but you can get that only after getting material from mountains (4th biome)

[quick cradle]

im stuck in swamp with flint spear ...

[merry pebble]

Why dont you make bronze spear?

[sharp bluff]

or an atgeir...

[shy marlin]

Atgeir gang

[merry pebble]

I am assuming they prefer spears 🙂 but yes, atgeirs are most definetly worth a try

[quick cradle]

ahhh im a bit lazy to go to bronze age somehow ...

but is it better to have troll armor than bronze ?

[merry pebble]

Then you wouldnt be stuck in swamp maybe xD

[quick cradle]

yea XD plus i have a slash hammer XD not sure the right name

[merry pebble]

It is easier to get while having only bit less armor, without the movement penalty also, so it is indeed a good alternative 🙂

[sharp bluff]

yes and no
bronze is slower but has more defense, which matters
BUT bronze is a pain to craft and you need bronze for so much other shit

[merry pebble]

Stagbreaker 😄

[quick cradle]

yea that thing

[quick cradle]

how can i make those wood cart ? i need iron nails?

[sharp bluff]

bronze nails iirc

or copper? my memory is meh

[merry pebble]

Bronze 🙂

[quick cradle]

man im so confused this game is really hard for some reason idk why the armor takes place in inventory

[sharp bluff]

its a bit "oldschool" at times

[nocturne wolf]

Why wouldn't it?

[sharp bluff]

cuz like 99% of games have extra slots for armour

[quick cradle]

cuz armor should have its own slots

plus stuff like that belt and etc also need to have there own slot

atleast 1 spot for special items would make more sense

[nocturne wolf]

should? They can have their own slots but it isn't that big of a deal.

It's all going into your inventory screen anyway

[quick cradle]

no like more space is better man

[sharp bluff]

well, those special slots would free like 6-7 inventory slots
and you run out of those often enough

[merry pebble]

We have more than enough slots 🙂

[sharp bluff]

idk, im often running out of those

[quick cradle]

we really dont

[nocturne wolf]

The amount of space your inventory has and where your armor goes is unrelated. A game could give you armor slots and a tiny inventory, or no armor slots and an inventory that covers your entire screen.

[merry pebble]

I usually carry even stuff i really dont need and rarely run out 🤷‍♂️ (like cultivator, hoe, axe, pickaxe, stuff you can just take when needed)

[sharp bluff]

are we playing the same game? xd

[merry pebble]

You dont need those all the time 😄 but i really like having them on hand

[sharp bluff]

ye, but between my armour, my belt, my 3 weapons, the food and the shield im usually kinda low on extra space

and the arrow slots ofc

[merry pebble]

3 weapons? Why?

[nocturne wolf]

Too hard to choose one

[merry pebble]

I just have 1 + bow (and the axe but for me thats a tool)

[strong lichen]

i know about the belt, i would just like to be able to carry a whole mountain in my backpack and the belt is not enough

[merry pebble]

No command afaik sadly

[sharp bluff]

one handed, atgeir, bow

[merry pebble]

Ah, yeah then i also carry 2 dedicated weapons if we count bow 🙂

[pliant hatch]

There's a potion to help you with that.

[true steppe]

server hop into a house with chests...

its a pocket dimension...

[plush umbra]

If ur ok with external mods I've heard there is a backpack one you can get if u ask folks in #mods-discussion

[gleaming radish]

are sausages op?

[trim nacelle]

It’s interesting to see peoples different takes on inventory and gear. I don’t think people should really be pushing an argument that inventory is perfectly fine just because you have accepted the way things currently are. It doesn’t take anything away from the experience if there are designated slots for gear.

[nocturne wolf]

Not really, but they are cheap. OP food would be serpent stew and meat, swamp tier health food with significantly higher stats than anything else available for a while.

[gleaming radish]

sausages give 55 health tho better than lox pies in price to performance ratio

[wary oak]

how do I gaslight a lox to get into my boat

[pliant hatch]

Pretend you're a cloud berry so it will follow you aboard....

[vocal rivet]

That's not why we're saying it's fine, it just demonstrably true.

[plush umbra]

Kiled my 1st deathsquito, fuling, fuling berserker and mage today

Raiding 1st goblin encampment was horrid haha, died 2 ties doing it

Brother died once as well, was def not rdy for it yet even tho we managed somehow

[trim nacelle]

That is a closed minded take. From your perspective you are saying it’s true, but from others perspectives it can be better. There is always room for improvement.

[merry pebble]

Saying it is fine now doesent in any way contradict that it could be better in some peoples eyes 😉

[trim nacelle]

That is correct, but it was intentionally used to contradict what others were seeing as a possible improvement to how they play the game.

[vocal rivet]

It wasn't. I merely stated the current state of affairs.

[sturdy fjord]

Because you are the speaker of the current state of affairs for the game 🤣

[trim nacelle]

Hold on, let’s back it up and not get emotional.

[sturdy fjord]

no laughing allowed in here got it

[trim nacelle]

Just don’t want anyone thinking they are being attacked

[merry pebble]

Well we try to have a civil discussion here, no need for theatricks

[trim nacelle]

Can’t have a constructive conversation when someone is being defensive

The current state of affairs is that a group believes that inventory could be managed differently.

[merry pebble]

Which is absolutely fine

[shy marlin]

I agree that the weight limit / inventory slot limitations does feel a bit brutal in the wrong ways, but only in the mistlands-ashlands

Especially the ashlands man it's just ugh

Would be fine if there weren't so many useless drops/items in that area

[trim nacelle]

Definitely agree with you there

[merry pebble]

Yeah, there is too many different items constantly dropping everywhere in there 😄

[trim nacelle]

I can honestly say that the ashlands is the only area that I disable auto pickup. Definitely don’t need the amount of bones picked up. The earlier areas have already provided that surplus.

[merry pebble]

The bone fragment drops could be indeed tuned down quite a bit in ashlands and almost nobody would complain i think.

[strong lichen]

weight limit is brutal when you are playing with increased drops and you have to make 10+ trips to collect all black marble you have mined from ONE spot

[trim nacelle]

I can see the rationale with the ||shield generators|| using them, but they don’t grind through them fast enough to warrant that excess.

[merry pebble]

Fortunately we have portals 😄

You can load yourself way past the weight limit and just go through

[shy marlin]

people use shield generators?

i think the only time i've touched em was my first playthrough where i didn't know what they did

[light moat]

Do you not? I use them so my workstations don’t burn away 😅 am I doing something wrong??

[trim nacelle]

I use them in the meadows. The make great umbrellas lol

[shy marlin]

I've never had issues with workstations burning/portals burning idk

[light moat]

Huh, maybe I’m paranoid or something? 🤔
I feel like I was always return and my workbench or stonecutter are reduced to coal lol

[merry pebble]

Happened to me only one or two times 🤔 i usually am pretty much on my feet all the time in ashalnds

[strong lichen]

yeah, but for that tactic you would need to expect collecting a lot of something, i was just randomly exploring mistlands since it is my first experience with this biome

[shy marlin]

idk just be smart about where you place your stations, I always place mine inside an abondoned ruin or on top of a rock and have zero issues

[merry pebble]

Do you not carry pocket portal?

[strong lichen]

do you carry a pocket portal?

who carries a whole portal in their pocket

[merry pebble]

Oh yes, when exploring always

[hearty hatch]

wait

[trim nacelle]

I do when I’m exploring

[hearty hatch]

guys was rocky a lie 😢

[shy marlin]

nope he's very much real

[trim nacelle]

Rocky is real

[merry pebble]

[hearty hatch]

how do i get it

[strong lichen]

huh, i always have a portal not connected to anything but ive never used it like that, i always use them as backup when out exploring with a ship

imma use this tactic to collect A LOT of black marble since i need to rebuild my base in a nicer spot

[merry pebble]

I usually have unconnected no-name portal either at my base or in the center of the portal hub, it is an exploration and "oh shit!!" portal 🙂

[plush umbra]

We have 3 chests worth of bone frags that never get touched. We stopped collecting them i turn my auto pick up off fighting anything thst drops em

Why r they in the game

[ember kraken]

Having played through the game to the end point at the time (plains) vanilla. The inventory worked. It did just enough, forced me to constantly make decisions about what was worth bringing, and what I didn't need now. And made me value portals much more.

Then playing on a friends dedicated for basically my 2nd game, it added more rows of inventory and more weight limit. And honestly it felt good, it basically allowed me to mostly ignore inventory most of the time. It did clearly lack that focus on actually making choices though, so I can see why it's not the default.

At this point, I'm too used to playing modded, that I wouldn't go back to the vanilla inventory limits. But I can definitively see it from a game design perspective, that it works and does what it's supposed to do. I don't see many good reasons to really change it much. And personally I'd rather have another inventory row than own slots for armor\etc.

[trim nacelle]

I also use an “E” portal. When I find an area that I want to frequent, I drop the pocket portal and setup at the hub.

[strong lichen]

to upgrade your basic club

[light moat]

They don’t burn if inside a ruin?

[merry pebble]

https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Bone_fragments here, take a look what you make with them 🙂

[shy marlin]

Never had issues and i've done countless runs of the ashlands

[plush umbra]

Some armor and clubs take em.

[merry pebble]

If under roof they dont 🙂

[light moat]

Huh, alright, good to know. Saves me the pain of using shield generators lol

[strong lichen]

you guys play with fire spread enabled?

[merry pebble]

Nah, too much risk xD

[shy marlin]

^

[merry pebble]

I would have to start to care where i put my campfires 😄

[plush umbra]

Yeah looked at the list and bone frags are useless

After troll armor and bronze they lose all purpose

[merry pebble]

Then you didnt look at the list wiki has 🙂

[ember kraken]

Make them count as wood, so we can fuel fires and make them into coal.

[plush umbra]

Yes I did

[plush umbra]

Thank u !!!

[ember kraken]

Well, or just feed them to Thor I guess

[trim nacelle]

They can go into the obliterator. That does exist for making things you don’t want into coal

[shy marlin]

Would be cool but coal is just so easy to get especially in / post ashlands

[merry pebble]

Or if you find a nice swamp with few geysirs 🙂

[ember kraken]

But really, bones is one of those things that makes the inventory management work, since it's an item you can always just skip.

[merry pebble]

The most thrown away item in ashlands for me indeed xD

[shy marlin]

I love playing the pick something up only to drop it game it's so much fun

[wide wagon]

Is it just me or is Moder way harder than prior bosses

[merry pebble]

I dont really think so 🤔 unless she is acting up and bugging herself again

[plush umbra]

Don't say thst I'm fighting him in like 4-5 hours

[ember kraken]

All the bosses are numerically stronger than the previous (naturally), most of the bosses also have new tricks or gimmicks to learn. So they're always going to feel harder, since you already beat the last one.

[trim nacelle]

I was trying to find a way to respond that wouldn’t come off in a negative way. Good job.

[ember kraken]

I think it's difficult to really compare them, especially as I've flip-flopped back and forth between my opinion of the bosses through the years. I used to think BoneyM was the absolute worst and Moder easy. Now I'm more the opposite, more because of Moder's very heavy RNG with terrain and mobs, and the way her attack patterns work.

[trim nacelle]

Now I have Rasputin playing in my head 😂

[ember kraken]

My work here is done.

[plush umbra]

What is best way to fight moder? So far I've got start early morning and make an earth pillar, what else

[ember kraken]

Honestly the best tip I can give for Moder is to take a good trip around the area, and quite a bit around it, and beat up and kill everything. To reduce as many random spawns as possible (they have a timer), so you'll get LESS enemy mobs joining the fight. You'll still have some, but you want as little as possible.

[plush umbra]

Is there a way to build a stone wall around said large area??

[ember kraken]

Really not worth the time.

[plush umbra]

And place workbenches to prevent spawns

[ember kraken]

Especially since Moder tends to fly around and land in every friggin damn spot possible.

[plush umbra]

Hm

[ember kraken]

Some find her hard to melee, which I can understand, especially considering all the bad spots she loves ot land in......

She's probably the boss that is over all easiest to just bow.

[plush umbra]

Ive got fire posing and obsidian arrows available

Scale shield with silver sword and drauger bow all maxed

[ember kraken]

But she's MUCH faster to melee. If you can pull it off.

[plush umbra]

Well I've got 1 more player with me so

[ember kraken]

But yeah, you really got to check what she landed on, and make a judgement if it's worth trying to melee there or not.

[plush umbra]

Finding footing on the mountains tbh is easier than swamp

[ember kraken]

Against Moder, I disagree :)

[plush umbra]

Why's that

[near furnace]

nether

most people don't use the hoe offensivly

[plush umbra]

Ive had 5 drakes come at me all at once before and I won

[plush umbra]

Well we do lol

[plush umbra]

BTW none of witch dropped a trophy smh

[nocturne wolf]

Obsidian arrows will be best

[plush umbra]

Finding ur footing on the mountains is just being light and fast on ur feet

[plush umbra]

Ok ty 🙂

[wide wagon]

Its so frustrating fighting moder. She has so much health, so melee is the only way to really damage her. But she spends half the time in the air, where she takes free shots at you(if you get hit twice youre dead), and half the time shes on the ground shes on a cliff thats impossible to fight on. And she moves so much, Ive had like 5 golems join the fight

[plush umbra]

Scale sheild should be able to take 2 or 3 hits from most bosses

[merry pebble]

You can do quite good dmg with bow

[plush umbra]

It could take like 5 from bonemass

[plush umbra]

Max drauger with obsidian arrows?

[merry pebble]

Oh yes, thats the best you can get in mountains

[plush umbra]

Have that

[wide wagon]

I have the almost max bow and obsidian arrows. Ive shot like 100, half have hit, and its done like maybe a fifth of her health

[plush umbra]

Max is big difference from almost max ngl

[nocturne wolf]

Big difference in durability, not so much in damage

[wide wagon]

Like 5 damage per hit
