Protecting both my tamed 1*asksvin and 2** asksvin

[frigid gust]

You should post that in #1024264966712340510 , this channel is for general chat 🙂

[torpid echo]

okay will do, but don't know how
I just click on new post and then put in the details?

[frigid gust]

Yup. If people are looking for servers, that's where they'll be doing it.

[light moat]

#building-screenshots message @steel mica While on the topic of Asksvin, here’s my Asksvin ranch! Kinda proud of it- I made it pretty quickly because I needed a place to start making eggs lol

[steel mica]

Lovely, sure hope that no deathsquito just comes flying in alerting them and making them breach

[light moat]

Haha the area around everything is very spawn proofed! Haven’t had an issue yet, but I’m sure it’s bound to happen. The exterior is also patrolled by 2 star wolves as an added layer of defense.

[steel mica]

Sh THE 2** IS KILLING THE 1*

[light moat]

At least it’s not the other way around!

Have you spammed campfires around the area for spawn protection 👀

[steel mica]

I have not hold on

[torpid echo]

I just posted it, hope it works out.

[south elm]

🦆

They are gonna add ducks to Valheim I knew it!

[shy marlin]

Ducks = scum

Almost as despicable as greydwarves

[frigid gust]

Ducks are fine. It's geese you gotta watch out for...

[steel mica]

Im gonna dead sprint this 2** asksvin back at my base, im not risking it here at the middle of nowhere

Staff of protection gonna come in handy

[frigid gust]

Maybe they'll add Emus 😛 Humans have yet to win a war against them, and we've had at least one

[light moat]

Ok but what about ducks with horns? 🤔

[shy marlin]

Even more scum

[quasi latch]

Duck-themed battlepass

[steel mica]

SHE PURS TO LIFE LADIES AND GENTS

[shy marlin]

W

Don't think I've ever tamed the Asks

[steel mica]

She is now safely back home

In the safety of my heavily defended fortress

[light moat]

Very nice! Now start producing eggs like crazy so you never have to worry about it again

[brittle pike]

yo where can we post art

oh nvm lmfao, disregard me

[topaz crypt]

The Lannisters send their diss track (it’s fire)

[south elm]

Ducks quaaaack alot

[brittle pike]

noooo

:(

[distant haven]

crystal battleaxe is pretty awesome for bulk harvesting of wood

[distant haven]

how well does it block and parry compared to an iron buckler?

[quasi latch]

About half as well. With adequate health, it's still enough to parry aboms

[distant haven]

so i'll probably invest in a silver shield and a single handed weapon too

[quasi latch]

Wait, I was thinking of iron battleaxe sorry

Crystal battleaxe parries 80 at 0 skill without considering health, while maxed out buckler parries 100

[light moat]

So one of the things I really like about battleaxes- that secondary attack is quick and is good for giving some distance between you and some enemies. It’s a fun playstyle imo, highly recommend!

[quasi latch]

You could parry a stone golem with ~100 health with a cbaxe

[distant haven]

i do go long periods away from my main base, and usually have a backup so I don't wind up weaponless. Though, I have been using bows more often

[daring sinew]

Valheim is so strange because the combat feels fluid and clunky at the same time

[tacit crystal]

There is an upcoming smaller update that improves combat, like fighting in slopes. No date yet tho.

[steel mica]

Finally im done with my ashlands base

[distant haven]

the only thing i find really annoying about combat is when things are at different levels... like trying to hit anything with a spear just slightly lower than you are

[tacit crystal]

Spear hitbox makes it easier to hit enemies slightly above you.

[distant haven]

it's weird, because I can take a broom handle and poke my floor and ceiling just fine

[nocturne wolf]

If something is below you, use an attack with a lower hitbox such as a mace/sword secondary. You can also try to position yourself differently by moving over or around the enemy.

[distant haven]

think about that statement for a moment.. if something is slightly lower than you, carry around and switch to another weapon to deal with it.

does that sound like anything other than a very annoying inconvenience?

[tacit crystal]

Well, like I said above, the update will improve combat mechanics which includes slope combat.

[near widget]

why cant i find dverger noises on youtube :(

they make such funny little sounds and are my only friends in Valheim

[nocturne wolf]

Not really, you just need to consider the height of your attack hitbox and enemy collision. You’re likely already carrying at least two weapons because of enemy weaknesses and resistances, so you should have a good variety of attacks to use.

Spear secondary is a projectile so it can hit enemies at any height offset

[distant haven]

and if you need two for weaknesses, you need double or triple to handle weaknesses of enemies at different heights. This is not at all intuitive, it's the worst thing about the combat

[steel mica]

And its why the devs are making an update to it calm down

[distant haven]

telling me or the other guy to calm down? I said it was annoying. That's all

[frozen wharf]

Valheim was fun until I reached swamp and how bad my world seed is 😭

And why is the raft the only early game option. I'm gonna grow old before I get anywhere

[steel mica]

Have you defeated the 2nd boss?

[frozen wharf]

Yes the elder

Used fire arrows and 2nd tier crude bow with troll armor

[steel mica]

Have you made bronze nails?

[frozen wharf]

I made a raft

But no nails

[steel mica]

You'll grow old before you reach the swamp my guy...

[frozen wharf]

What do bronze nails do?

[steel mica]

make some bronze nails and youll see what I mean

Itll help ya

[frozen wharf]

No way...

How the hell should I have known

@steel mica nothing happend

I just unlocked a cart

[steel mica]

Do you have a bronze axe?

[frozen wharf]

No

What do bronze nails do here tho

[steel mica]

😭

Here is the recipe for the karve aka boat

Finewood + bronze nails

You need a bronze axe to get finewood from the birch trees or oak trees

After you get the finewood you should get the option to make the karve

the real first boat of valheim

[frozen wharf]

Ahhhh that's why i can't see it

Finewood

[steel mica]

The raft is for lols

[frozen wharf]

Thank you 🙏

[steel mica]

[analog pine]

Wow, actively using mounts for the first time makes me realize something...the mounts system is kind of bad. I can't attack with ranged-based weapons without being forcefully dismounted, I can't control when my mount attacks, and healing them is kind of a pain. They don't even get armor. My lox has 1k health and that gets torn to shreds from late-game mobs.

[light moat]

Yeah, not sure why mounted combat/riding was (and kinda still is) so heavily requested 🤔

Personally I think even with all the potential tweaking, it would still be underwhelming.

[north pecan]

potential stupid question alert, and I am going to mark it as spoiler because it is relating to the latest zone.

|| are the amount of flametal spires limited for each world? just curious if any new ones ever spawn, or if I will need to make a new server to go find more flametal on ||

[nocturne wolf]

I don't see how mounted combat could be interesting unless we're given much more precise control on our mounts movement. They're so big that dodging anything with the movement now is pretty much impossible, and that's without trying to fight another enemy.

[steel mica]

Theres a limited amount but its alot of flametal for you to use

[analog pine]

I feel like it could benefit from taking a bit from other games. Namely, Don't Starve Together has an excellent system for mounts. Mounts here could benefit from having their own attacks with weapons sheathed, being able to attack with ranged or magic weapons while mounted and not getting dismounted, mount armor, saddles with different benefits, and a mount-based ointment for quicker healing.

I'd 100% take an asksvin into combat as a battle mount if I could fight alongside it.

[shy marlin]

One time spawns correct

[light moat]

If you’re fighting alongside the Asksvin, it’s no longer a mount 👀

I don’t know, I think mounted combat is on of those things that has to be considered from the very beginning of the game, and that was simply not the case for Valheim.

[nocturne wolf]

Mounts can’t jump so what is even the point

[steel mica]

Almost every enemy in the game cant jump

Seeker an exception since they can both fly and crawl

[nocturne wolf]

Many enemies have unused jump animations

[steel mica]

Atleast the ability to attack while riding would be cool

[nocturne wolf]

Blobs and oozers can actually jump, flying is a separate thing

[steel mica]

and lava blobs

asksvin is ehhh kinda of jumping

[nocturne wolf]

That’s an attack animation like knife secondary

[steel mica]

Hope tames get more use other than just defending, resources, and traveling

[vocal rivet]

What more do you need?

[distant haven]

ive been going back and forth between my karve and longship to see what i like better in general

i have over 200 hours in the game.. first time i seen a sea serpent was today.. ran into three

[quasi latch]

They only spawn ||at night and/or during storms in fully ocean chunks||

[distant haven]

i figyred something like that

[pliant hatch]

Karve is nice for exploring, as it's easier to turn; making exploration of waterways going in a landmass a lot easier.

Longship is nice to haul large amounts of goodies over long distances; which makes it a lot more suitable to build an outpost somewhere.

[distant haven]

i busted a full silver vein, shoved it all into a karve.. but had I had the longship with me, I'd have probably stuck around a bit longer, and gotten a few of those veins

[distant haven]

i'm making it a point to go no-shield for the mountain biome

to see how the other half lives

using crystal battleaxe and a silver knife

[open pecan]

I need to use the crystal battle axe more, too.

[hybrid stag]

anyone thinking about starting a valheim server

[tepid prawn]

I will start a 3rd server in 2 months or so 🙂 I already have 2 haha (try to find one near where you live and in your active timezone) and #1024264966712340510 is always a good place to look

[distant haven]

nah.. i stopped trying to co op this game with others

they always get bored and play other stuff and leave me stranded

[steel mica]

Thats the thing about this game

The game is really grindy and it can get boring especially for people not really into survival games

I enjoy survival games because I can just do whatever I want with the game mechanics

[distant haven]

Yeah, the grindiness does make people get bored of it a lot, when it takes 20 hours to prepare for the next boss, and there is 8 biome, most people I've started games with have tapped out just after the swamp, which is why I never got much further

[steel mica]

The content beyond swamp will be worth it

keep grinding and take breaks if needed

You can always come back and your world will be waiting

[simple folio]

I got to the swamp a couple times about 2 yrs ago and when the last group fell apart i quit playing until about 2 months ago and I'm early into mistland now, it's a lot of fun to play through at my own pace

[burnt laurel]

how do serpent spawns work? my friend and i encounter them constantly while sailing. we just encountered two at the same time, and right after killling them a third one showed up 😭

[pliant hatch]

The spawn at night ( despawns in the morning) and during storms (won't despawn)

[burnt laurel]

we're drowning in stew

[pliant hatch]

Be glad about it. It's one of the most powerful foods up to Mistland. And one you really can use when fighting bosses.

[burnt laurel]

i want to scream every time we encounter one. these waters are infested

[pliant hatch]

So don't sail at night and you won't encounter them.

[burnt laurel]

also we did just kill the plains boss, so the stew won't even be that useful anymore

[burnt laurel]

kinda hard to do when trips can span multiple ingame days

i'm just confused cuz i thought these things were supposed to be rare 🥲

[light moat]

A lot of folks would be jealous you’re seeing so many
RNG can be a funny thing!

[burnt laurel]

RNGesus antics

[open pecan]

I'm totes jelly; Serpents hide from me.

[steel mica]

Once you get access to a longship it feels so worth it to hunt every serpent you see

its practically a free plains tier food

[burnt laurel]

it's even better than plains tier

[steel mica]

exactly

You can combo it with the lox meat pie for more hp

[simple folio]

so... if i just started mistland i prolly shoulda started hunting serpents a while ago? lol

[steel mica]

HHS

[steel mica]

Not worth it once you're in mistlands

by the time you get a handful of serpent meat, you could have used that time to explore the mistlands and get access to better food all together

[burnt laurel]

they become super quick to kill with bows by the time you're in plains, at least with 2 players. and we don't even have to seek them out lol

[light moat]

I just want serpent trophies for bait 😭

[steel mica]

I have like half a stack of trophies

[simple folio]

I've never killed a serpent yet lol

[quasi latch]

You can outsail them in many cases.

[hearty niche]

Playing solo Very Hard run. I had tried nomap but it's too frustrating - there just aren't enough visible constellations/etc for effective star navigation and my left-brain ass just can't figure out how to navigate via the world tree.

At one point some friends did nomap + noportals + permadeath and that's just masochistic

[analog pine]

I think it's a matter of making landmarks when sailing to point your way, alongside following the stars & tree. I wouldn't know, though. That does sound masochistic.

[analog pine]

Ah, nothing like trying to navigate the ashlands a short distance to a portal, and look...2 charred twitchers. And they around 15 mobs come out from behind a rock and start attacking all at once. So glad I got that mod for planting everything. Now I can use a little vineberry area to farm the ashland plants without getting harassed. (Seriously, what's up with these uncapped spawn rates?)

[south elm]

🤣

[glad schooner]

Agreed, I actually make the grind easier for myself these days. Eventually I'll make it to the Ashland before restarting lol

I just keep finding cool new seeds with picturesque base locations

[tacit crystal]

I recommend, it's a good weapon. #memes-and-clips message

[silk crown]

i need to play valheim. but i can't afford it. its too costly in india.

[vocal rivet]

They're not uncapped, that would be insane.

[worn bolt]

Yeah, fighting is just kinda loud and attracts newer spawns, often from undealt-with spawners

Arbalest/ ||Ripper|| , my beloved. Beeing able to snipe spawners in ashlands outside their spawning range is just too worth it

[tepid prawn]

crossbow is not the only thing that can do that

[worn bolt]

I know, it just feels easier tho (and i dont use bows that much cuz they break the balance of the game entirely)

[loud surge]

Hey r there any servers where people actually play I don't wanna stay alone

[vocal rivet]

There's still a mob zone limit so it'll never get too hectic.

[vocal rivet]

You could try looking in #1024264966712340510

[worn bolt]

If its a constant flow instead of seperate bulks i could still see it beeing overwhelming for some

[vocal rivet]

Literally the same as any other biome. Has to be, it's the same spawn engine.

[worn bolt]

Eh, i'd say with a ||Morgen|| and a ||Fallen Valkyrie|| each per square meter it'd be a bit more challenging

You'd basically never get to be able to get rid of the small crawleys with all the big creatures breathing down your neck unless you turn and fight every ten or so metres

[loud surge]

hey does someone know how do i use the commands like /e or something

[silk crown]

were are you guys from

[vocal rivet]

Basic commands like emotes etc can be done in the chat window, otherwise you'll need to enable the console. There's a good guide here: https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Developer_console

[silk crown]

good

[south elm]

🐷

[silk crown]

which country?

[south elm]

EU

[tepid prawn]

Australia

[silk crown]

nice

@tepid prawn will you play valheim

[tepid prawn]

I am playing Valheim quite often, I run a server community

[silk crown]

good is that like RP server

[silk crown]

i like to play valheim but i have no money to buy valheim. in india valheim is too costly. i can't afford that much money. so i won't play till now.

[topaz crypt]

Hello Indian Steve

[tepid prawn]

might be on sale still

[merry pebble]

Yep still is

[silk crown]

still costly

[silk crown]

hii

[tepid prawn]

games are a lot more expensive in Australia then some other places too, but the wages also higher which is not so much a thing in india, we have 1-2 indians in the community too usually

[distant haven]

i really should find me something better than wood arrows. I'm just not really willing to use finite resources on them like metals

maybe needles when I get to plains biome

[silk crown]

the Indian their are live in city. i think. but am on villages side. here there is no wifi provider. am using mobile data

[merry pebble]

I usually just use the ones from chests (flint, iron, poison) and once i get to mountains i make obsidian ones 🙂

[distant haven]

yeah.. obsidian is finite though

[merry pebble]

But you cant really use it for much other than that 🙂

[distant haven]

true.. it's used for the tool shelf and that's about it

[merry pebble]

1 workbench upgrade and other than that arrows

[nocturne wolf]

You should’ve progressed to plains for needle arrows by the time you run out of obsidian

[silk crown]

but also here wifi is expensive more than ₹600 per month

[distant haven]

I've also been holding off on building a really large base until I get to plains

[silk crown]

you all guys are enjoying valheim. 😶

but I can't

[distant haven]

nobody is going to buy it for you

[silk crown]

i am not asking to buy it for me. 🤣

[distant haven]

it definitely sounds like you're pandhandling to me as you've been going on for a couple days now complaining about not being able to afford it

[merry pebble]

Only one day 😉

[distant haven]

today, yesterday

[merry pebble]

Meh, we are probably in different timezones then, their first message is from 8:36 today for me

[steel mica]

The thing about mountain is that its not that accessable compared to plains which you can just go in all willy nilly, the mountain requires frost res potion making campire trails will work but limits your movement, by the time I get to mountain I was already exploring my nearby plains biome scouting it out and getting needles for needle arrow

[vocal rivet]

I'm fairly sure this is in jest but I've just seen someone complain that the coin pile only contains 44 coins but costs 99.

[cold elm]

So it's like banking, you deposit 99 but only get 44 back.

[tepid prawn]

yeah they counted the picture of the 3d ingame object coins that costs 99 to place, and you get 99 back, its a technicality lol

it probably looks better that way instead of the piles actually really containing 99 or 999 coins

[tacit crystal]

#screenshots message @still wharf Seems like you've found one of the highest possible mountains that can generate, seemingly the "Hook" mountain, which can be even over 450m high.

[light moat]

Was just looking at that- very cool find!

[still wharf]

Yeah and it was like 80 degrees steep, highest mountain i've ever seen

[distant haven]

the weird thing about mountains is i'm not even sure I want to get fenris armor because I might just go back to root armor for plains biome

[steel mica]

Have full set is nice for exploration

[topaz crypt]

What’s root armor do again

[distant haven]

Improved archery with a full set. But the pieces also offer poison and piercing resistance

Deathsquitos and often fulings will do piercing damage

[topaz crypt]

You only need 6 wolf hide, 1 wolf trophy, and some silver to make a wolf cape

The cape alone will keep you warm

[distant haven]

But you do need to find silver to make that cape

[merry pebble]

Also giving you weakness to fire 😉

[tacit crystal]

Which can be overridden by either being wet or consuming Barley wine.

[shy marlin]

1-1=1

🙃

[tacit crystal]

That's a lot of 1️⃣s.

[shy marlin]

0!

[oak berry]

yo i just watched ur vid you're like the best valheim player ever

anyways lox cape is superior

[merry pebble]

You need less stuf for it 😄

[light moat]

No way, wolf cape is superior simply for the fashion factor

[oak berry]

too thin for my tastes but i suppose it does give you a friend if you dont got none

[shy marlin]

Lox cape gang 🤙

Doesn't take silver to upgrade 😏

[light moat]

guy upgrades capes ☝️

[unkempt rampart]

What day are you guys on?

[light moat]

On my my most recent playthrough I’m at 400, I think my main world is like 900 something 🤔

[heady parcel]

Something near 1,400 on my current world

[sand root]

Hi guys, is there a valheim server I can play with you guys on here?

[vocal rivet]

Should be something to suit in #1024264966712340510

[blazing cobalt]

What is the best armor to wear when doing base maintenance? I want to be light and mobile but still be ready to fight.

[quasi latch]

And Fader
Yeah it's really broken

[blazing cobalt]

Also, does anyone actually wear Hildir's tunics/dresses?

[quasi latch]

I do when farming and building

[blazing cobalt]

I always forget to put on the farming outfit when I stop by my farm.

[light moat]

Nope, I just don’t find them worth it. I do wear the harvest set though for farming, if you count that.

[cold elm]

If your base is in or near plains you might want to include a root harnesk in the armour you wear. Rest could be troll/fenris for movement (or nekkid, go team nopants!), possible a hildir hat to reduce stamina usage depending on the food you have running.

[analog pine]

I wonder, what's the point of Linen Capes?

[cold elm]

Fashion statements, got to look good when you die young.

[frigid gust]

Depends on the stage you're at in the game, if you've discovered Hildir... it really depends a lot.

[frigid gust]

I make a black one to go with my Fenris set, don't need to double up on the cold resist. I keep my lox cape with my padded armor set.

[cold elm]

I use the feather one for that to get that whole batman gliding vibe going.

[frigid gust]

Sure, but that's only after I get further into the Mistlands 😛 Initially the black linen is nice. It's also nice to have like, a red cape when playing with others, it makes it easier to see your compatriots.

[fierce plume]

Hey guys, I have a problem with my friend joining and it keeps saying failed to connect. Please help

[woeful elbow]

hello new here just hit the bronze age the boss wiped my ass the vines bounced me like a bumper pool ball into a boss thorn attack

anyone want to play and chat it up ?

[quasi latch]

What food and armor do you have?

[quasi latch]

As for this, #1024264966712340510

[tropic scarab]

Anyone free to lend a hand I’m kinda stuck in lava

[shy mantle]

Are there any particular tips for finding seeker soldiers? Me and a friend spent 2 hours covering mistland areas, but not a single soldier dropped a trophy

[shy marlin]

If you’ve done a bunch of infested mines with soldiers in them, you can revisit the mines and farm them that way

Idk how long it takes for the enemies in infested mines to respawn tho

To find soldiers in the open world though you wanna be exploring the big valleys

Trophy drop rate is 5% I think so you’re gonna be grinding either way

[hearty niche]

The big pillars around the summoning altar... use them for cover.

[shy mantle]

Sheesh that's tough, 5%? Sounds like a grind for sure. Just trying to collect a queen trophy for our trophy room

[shy marlin]

Honestly just go somewhere completely new and find another queen location and kill her there

Like if you went to the eastern mistlands go to the western mistlands

[shy mantle]

Do I not still need the three trophies to spawn her? It was a while since I killed her originally so cannot remember

[shy marlin]

No

[shy mantle]

Okay thanks, that's handy to know

[steel mica]

Each infested citadel has its own queen to fight so you dont have to re-summon her

as for getting soldier trophies, its worth it to mark them and revisit the open valley location just what scales said if your doing soldier hunting

[distant haven]

looks like I'll be spending more time in the swamp

i'm just going to start stock piling ore for my main base.. I'm no longer doing that thing where I build forges at each location for making weapons

[vagrant flicker]

any info about when the deep north biome is gonna be added?

[steel mica]

zero info on when

[vagrant flicker]

:/

[buoyant panther]

#valheim-chat message

[analog pine]

It's strange, but I kind of want to keep upgrading the Silver Sword I made a while ago. I only got it to Quality 3. But I ran out of silver. Does it compare to the Mistwalker and Nidhögg (plus variants)?

[nocturne wolf]

The silver sword will deal more damage than mistwalker against charred and valkyries while costing less stamina, but you won't want to use it against anything else.

Mistwalker is very nice for morgens

[flat vector]

I love valheim

[analog pine]

I randomly wonder if there's a mod out there that gives you increasingly drunken vision for each mead on cooldown.

[steel mica]

if we take the weapons at its max upgrade ^ what blobi said, but in the ashlands whilst the nidhogg with lolite gem on it is better in dmg the mistwalker is generally a good all rounder

[nocturne wolf]

Drink them all and unplug your monitor

[steel mica]

The mistwalker is kinda of like the frostner but for ashlands

[analog pine]

Strange question. When looking at the Megingjord, does anyone else happen to think, "Shut up, Megingjord."?

[shy marlin]

Anybody else love the bog witch ❤️

[analog pine]

She's creepy and knows a fair bit about alchemy & cooking. Of course I do.

[distant haven]

luckily after Swamp, the need for iron diminishes down greatly to just building base upgrades, and maybe supported structures if you need them. I sailed like 80 iron ingots back and should be good for a while now

thatr obliterator is a thing of beauty

the game definitely needed soemthing more than a deep hole to throw junk

[steel mica]

You're gonna need more once you get into plains

and eventually mistlands

[distant haven]

maybe, but 80 pieces only needing a couple more shop upgrades is fine for now

yeah, padded armor will require it

chances are I won't even get that armor

[distant haven]

i save a lot of resources by sticking with light armor sets

[analog pine]

Ah, nothing like trying to mine some copper, and 4-6 greydwarves come rushing at me with every attempted swing. I know that mobs are attracted to noise, but can't they just...piss off?

[quasi latch]

Check the nearby area for a nest

I generally only get greydwarf attacks like twice per day in game

Also, mods might be at fault

[rapid lance]

Place torches all around

[distant haven]

or when I am just in my base looking through containers, and I hear something smacking something outside.. i go outside, kill it, walk back in to pick up where i left off, now a neck is chewing on my boat

[simple folio]

sometimes i have a swarm of em outside my base, i'm like wtf did you guys come from

i really need to go tame some wolves for perimeter control

[distant haven]

or they run into my house and i'm like.. who invited you?

or i'm fighting a rock golem, and a drake and some wolves show up and i'm like "i'm not your mom, only one at a time"

[simple folio]

i got a little wall they gotta climb to get in my base but every once in a while once sneaks in somehow lol

[distant haven]

i should make walls

weird thing though.. doing the elder fight, some deathsquito sniped me out of nowhere.. turns out there was a tiny, tiny fraction of plains uncovered on the edge of the map

[simple folio]

i got caught by packs a wolves a few times while in a corner mining the silver

[distant haven]

i like it when I face tank a star level troll and some grayling runs up like he didn't just see what happened

[simple folio]

nekkid corpse runs through plains with just a bow is fun

[distant haven]

naked run through the mountains just reminds me of going out for the male in January barefoot and in my boxers

[simple folio]

i learnt to use pots for those, they didn't end very well often

[distant haven]

neighbor is like "dude, are you barefoot? there's like 12 inches of snow out here" and I look down and I'm like "yup"

kicking through it like it's the sand of a warm beach

or i get to the swamp and I'm like hmm, so this is what Louisianna looks like

i'd build in the swamp if it wasn't for the constant wet debuff

[simple folio]

ya swamp looks like a crappy place to build

[distant haven]

mobs ain't too bad once you have gear for it, tree houses are fun too

[simple folio]

i got a base on my starter island, mostly in black forest, some meadows and on the edge of the swamp

there's also plains and mountain really close

[distant haven]

there's a tiny strip of swamp on the other side of the island from my base.. but nothing there, not even a crypt

i had to sail around and found a bigger one

[simple folio]

oh ya i found a few of those, that was kinda disapointed

[distant haven]

i found the location of elder early enough, but he is on another island too.. and now I have to go to a fourth island for moder

halfway there I found something important and changed plans

[simple folio]

the first time i built a boat was to get to moder lol

i taught raids only happened at base... i'm trying to explore and get closer to queen and i just landed on a plains that's not too far away and got swarmed by a couple dozen wolves, and then the fuling village and lox got involved... all while i was trying to put a portal down

[distant haven]

If I am taking a peak into a new biome, I tend to look for a safer one adjacent to it

[simple folio]

ya that's why i landed in the plains lol trying to explore more into mistlands

[distant haven]

My elder boss spawn is near a plains area I haven't explored yet, that'd be where I am going to look first

At least plains looks like it's less mining for resources and more fighting for them

[simple folio]

I kinda like the plains, the terrain in mountains is a pain, and seems mistland like crappy terrain too

[distant haven]

Plains is where I'll probably build a bigger new base

I'm pretty sick and tired of necks and graylings

[topaz crypt]

Oh my god I just got to the Ashlands

What a breath of fresh air after the mistlands

[simple folio]

I've died a LOT in mistlands, i'm mildly annoyed but it's still pretty fun, i love the game

[distant haven]

I think Imma go get ready to kill modern. I have a draugr fang, Crystal battle-axe, root armor is fine if I don't get hit

[simple folio]

moder's the only boss i killed on the first try

[topaz crypt]

Got fire arrows?

[analog pine]

Moder seems like a primarily ranged fight, really.

[distant haven]

i have obsidian arrows

[simple folio]

well I finally got my portal up at the spot i landed in the plains, got 46 wolf meats in the process lol

i killed my first 2 serpents on the way there, it's been a great adventure today

[steel mica]

You wont be getting anymore fresh air once you land

[topaz crypt]

We have a whole base with a pretty roof and a hearth

[steel mica]

Multiplayer

nice

[topaz crypt]

Just me and my brother

[simple folio]

i taught multiplayer mode ended at swamp 🤔

[topaz crypt]

His wife plays too but she keeps to the meadows, smelting ore and cooking and tending to the animals

I love how flat the Ashlands are

[vocal rivet]

Huh? Why would you think that?

[steel mica]

Multiplayer doesnt end, its just that players dont like the swamp because of the ramp up of in difficulty so thats why most valheim players quit even in multiplayer

[simple folio]

lol ya seems so, personally I think mistland is quite a bit steeper a ramp up tho

i love the game cuz of it tho

[steel mica]

Its the 2nd hardest biome so difficulty will go up

[vital umbra]

is there no concept of a timeframe at all for a deep north or combat update

[vocal rivet]

No, but then you know this.

[analog pine]

Perfection takes time. I'm sure the developers will make something they're absolutely proud of, and I'm all for it.

[vocal rivet]

I don't think anyone was suggesting otherwise.

[analog pine]

I assumed Ronnie was.

[vocal rivet]

No? Just after a release date.

[analog pine]

Valheim is among one of the very few games that I would call a masterpiece. I can't wait to see how they finish our journey off, so we may see the halls of Valhalla at long last.

[lunar sapphire]

In due time travellers, in due time

[vocal rivet]

Again, think we're all agreed on that.

[lunar sapphire]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-patience-cat-cute-pets-gif-5544229

[shy marlin]

😄 cat gif haha

[analog pine]

What if Valhalla ends up having its own celebratory biome as we walk the path to victory?

[shy marlin]

🤔 yea i mean i hope they do something pretty special for the ending

[wintry valve]

imagine posting gifs

[vocal rivet]

I can't see it being more than a cut scene but I could be wrong.

[shy marlin]

maybe not a full biome, but at least something to celebrate in with odin or w/e

drink some mead etc

[analog pine]

Maybe some hunky male vikings waiting for me...

I feel like those stones from the start will be the portal to Valhalla. It only seems fitting that our journey ends where it began.

[wintry valve]

oh, I guess it wasnt funny, what I said

[vocal rivet]

Makes sense. Hanging the final boss trophy creates a portal at the sacrificial stones and going through it takes you to Valhalla but those people that want to carry on building and stuff can just not go through it.

[analog pine]

I wonder why crossbows are introduced so late into the game? And why they give so little experience per bolt strike. I've tested the difference between 0 and 100, and that reload speed is very noticable.

I feel like experience in combat skills should come from damage done and not actions per. Perhaps the combat update may address that. Or not. We will see.

[shy marlin]

Yea

Bow also gives more exp per hit than the crossbow does

Which is completely backwards

An earlier crossbow, perhaps in the mountains using the fenris claws in the recipe would be nice

[calm tundra]

Hildir update is pointless - why will i equip something that has 0 on armour basically - why couldnt it be a cosmetic piece that applies to your current armour plus give a bonus to it? Not that hard Devs

[distant haven]

It was an ordeal getting to moder, dang mountain is surrounded almost entirely by plains

I found hildir on my way to moder. Only thing I was interested in buying was the iron pits

Though, I doubt I'll ever actually use those over the hearth

[azure frost]

The hardest part is the foggy area

[steel mica]

Its nice decorations and fire last for a long time

[rain flare]

The definition of a side quest
The farming items are nice at least

Plus, the hildir clothing reduces stamina use when building

[calm tundra]

Eat some good food why should i have something useless in my inventory just for building, eh waste of an update just like their roadmap on the games release

[vocal rivet]

The road map that hasn't been a thing since May 2021? Oh dear.

[calm tundra]

Its a good example of how useless an update is compared to how useless their road map was to how useless it was having a month party to buying a donkey xD

[vocal rivet]

They sponsored a horse. In a sanctuary.

Want to keep making things up or can we stop now?

[lunar sapphire]

It's best this conversation ends.

[vocal rivet]

Oh, definitely.

[rain flare]

Suit yourself 😂

[vocal rivet]

Going through food stocks versus a permanent clothing buff. Doesn't SEEM like much of a choice but there you go.

[shy mantle]

Just finished delivering Hildir's final chest, was a mission but a good one

[topaz crypt]

Das boot ja

Does the ocean get more tumultuous the farther we get from the equator?

[shy mantle]

Depends entirely on the weather I think

[topaz crypt]

I ask because my brother was building a dock at our southernmost base in preparation for going to the Ashlands

The entire time we’ve been there though, the waves have been massive

[vocal rivet]

Yeah, weather isn't affected by distance. The only exception is right on the edge of the world.

[pliant hatch]

That's more likely happening because that dock was build close to the border with the Ocean.
Build it a bit further away and the waves will be a lot smaller. Or non-existent.

[topaz crypt]

Yeah it occurs to me now that the dock is our biggest and longest yet, since it was made to accommodate the biggest boat

[unkempt rampart]

Anyone uses Storm fang? Is it worth it?

[light moat]

Storm Fang is pretty powerful, I’d say it’s worth it.

[hearty niche]

Playing my solo Very Hard runthrough. Entering the swamps... accidentally engaged 2 star Draugr archer. Bastard chased me across a whole continent , I felt like I was being hunted by Predator. Eventually my luck ran out and he 1 shotted me.

[rustic cairn]

https://tenor.com/view/hold-back-laugh-contain-laughter-try-not-to-laugh-gif-14573032070357011316

[hearty niche]

He frickin got me again

[summer hinge]

And that's why I don't play a game like Valheim on any difficulty other than normal. I'd be crashing out XD

[hearty niche]

On Normal difficulty the combat feels too easy

[summer hinge]

Fair enough lol

[light moat]

It’s funny you mention that, I was actually just thinking yesterday that it might be time for me to crank up the difficulty for myself 🤔

[tacit crystal]

Tried hard?

[steel mica]

I might aswell crank up the difficulty aswell

[shy marlin]

Very hard = easy 😏

[flat vector]

Wooooooo Valheim! 🥳

[green canopy]

I'm excited to try it again

[steel mica]

The game remains easy if you dont lose your gear

[shy marlin]

so just craft a second set 😏

[silk token]

i tried the difficulty higher, it was fun, honestly it gets boring and i miss playing the game normally. it’s just a different game, very hard negates parrying, blocking, stagger, health food, and armor because you just die. most people i see doing very hard arent playing valheim theyre playing “wuss with a bow on exploited terrain”. the game knows what it’s doing. it can still kill you easy on normal. hit your first 2 star wolf and tell me the combat is easy.

[steel mica]

I rather run around the world naked with just the best weapon and tools I have

[distant haven]

i do see a lot of exploitative tactics being used.. like building a pillar of ground to hide behind or on top of.. meh

[silk token]

yeah its stupid. just play the game its fun

[shy marlin]

if only valheim had proper difficulty settings

perhaps all content wouldn't get nerfed then 😔

[silk token]

? what would be “proper” compared to what exists?

[shy marlin]

Something more than just number changes

[silk token]

i thought the world settings were pretty elaborate

oh like quantity of spawned enemies and studf yeah thatd be fun

[shy marlin]

New attacks, animations, if you've ever played v risings brutal mode, something like that

[light moat]

#suggestion-discussion message been awhile since we’ve had a talk about this 🤔

Terraria expert mode is another example of a really well-done difficulty option

[shy marlin]

Even like changing enemy AI would be a good step in the right direction, changing seekers to have wolf AI (Like they originally used to have) would be awesome

[tacit crystal]

They should have wolf AI on normal. Change it to circling AI for easier difficulties.

[shy marlin]

Yea i mean, it was partially because I was still learning the biome, but seekers on the ptb were a MENACE

[short plank]

I kind of wish there was a hard mode like fallout 4 hard mode. not just harder combat but harder survival aspects too

[light moat]

Wishful thinking, but what if the combat update introduces an enhanced difficulty mode 👀

[shy marlin]

Highly doubt it

Robin has specifically said they only intend on balancing normal and focusing on normal mode

[tacit crystal]

I still remember my first death in PTB Mistlands. I got cornered by multiple wolf AI seekers in my first Infested mine.

[light moat]

Never got to experience those seekers for myself unfortunately

[shy marlin]

I think you can 🤔

Steam versions or something idk i could be wrong

[silk token]

mines can be WAY overpowered if they layout is just so and you run into soldiers plus seekers with stars you get stuck and out of stamina REAL fast, UNLESS you have a god hammer and or fire bombs

[steel mica]

A way to reward players, actual difficult enemies, and just a spike in difficulty

[silk token]

oh speaking of, was there any hinting to what they are changing in the combat other than swing elevation?

[tacit crystal]

There was that one video from Spazzy how to download the certain version of the game, kinda might want to try the game before H&H.

[silk token]

some of the combat is clunky and odd, but I kind of love it, like getting good at leaving multiple enemies with one handed sword

[shy marlin]

Spoiler alert, it wasn't that bad, squitoes only punished people because they were using meadows food in the plains

Difficulty was highly exaggerated because people were still learning the game

[tacit crystal]

Nothing else yet other than new ||armor set||, maybe ||fists(?)|| and ||target|| for ranged.

[tacit crystal]

Squitoes' damage was nerfed at one point iirc.

[silk token]

i know they scaled back desthsquito damage and ashlands spawns but im not aware of other nerfs where earlier versions would be easier or harder-oh actually they changed combat once introducing “stagger” some hate it but i like how it works

i guess it would be “easier” before stagger exists

[light moat]

“Fortune and glory, kid”

[shy marlin]

yes, but still, wasn't that bad

[shy marlin]

Mistlands was nerfed

[tacit crystal]

Seekers more specifically.

[shy marlin]

Gjall

[tacit crystal]

At one point yes, but reverted.

[shy marlin]

Spawn rates too

[shy marlin]

Not back to original

[silk token]

i would love it if axes got tweaked. like make 1 hand axe have any benefit, increased stagger or anything. sword has cleave if you’re good, mace hits everyone no matter what but reduces damage, axe should have something

[tacit crystal]

They changed the visuals so the projectiles are more clear to see.

[shy marlin]

And the timings

The two shot timing is different now than it was on ptb

[silk token]

oh right, they reduced soldier and gjall spawns to be more similar to troll spawns in forest so theres less

[tacit crystal]

Don't recall too much difference tbh.

[tacit crystal]

2 handed axes stagger well and have "cleave".

[shy marlin]

I'm at work but I'm pretty sure I have a buddy that had video comparisons of gjall timings

[silk token]

hehe OH YEAH they do, i once used a crystal axe into ashlands even its my favorite weapon

but the 1 hander is literally worse in every way than everything else

like the only reason to use a one-handed axe is to start building your axe skill so you can use the two handed one better

[shy marlin]

I think that's intended for 1h axe to be bad, it's a tool and a weapon

[tacit crystal]

I personally like them too. Hopefully they add more to later biomes and tweak movement speed penalty in upcoming update.

[silk token]

ok but WANTS a weapon. am viking.

[light moat]

Fingers crossed 😭

[silk token]

im fine with the 2 handers having move speed penalty, it’s a come and get it weapon

[tacit crystal]

-20% in them vs -5% in atgeirs and 2h swords.

[silk token]

i pace around waiting for enemies to ball up good enough the jump-SWING CRIT bye byeeee

yeah i know, it think 20 is fine, dont need to move fast, just wait patiently for them to come

big slow beefy boy role play why should i be fast holding that monster

[tacit crystal]

-10% would be good for those 2h weapons IMO.

[silk token]

but it FEELS like I do more damage when I’m slow 😅

oh also two handed swords need to cleave like axes do. when you’re good at cleaving one-handed swords for full damage it just feels so bad to use a two hand.

[tacit crystal]

Oh yeah, them 2 handers should have and 1 handers shouldn't.

[shy marlin]

I will be severely disappointed if 2 hander swords still suffer from mtp post combat update

[light moat]

#suggestions message Shameless insert

[silk token]

I agree, one handed swords probably SHOULD change, their current cleave is so odd, but personally I enjoy playing with it, feels good to line up those perfect cleave swings

like a minigame skill cap thing

[dark coyote]

sword should be a thrust, with a bleed maybe

[light moat]

What do you mean? 🤔

[dark coyote]

the secondary attack

[light moat]

Both versions of the sword are currently thrusts, aren’t they?

[tacit crystal]

There is no bleed mechanic in this game.

[analog pine]

Reminds me of how Dragonwilds did the secondary for 2h swords. Straight up spin attack. Great for a little crowd control. But alas, atgiers already have that.

What if the secondary for 2h swords was a leaping chop forward? Put in all your might to cleave your target in half.

[shy marlin]

I like the secondary for gs 😢

[light moat]

I don’t know, I think the attacks are fine 🤔
The thrust is cool, and it works.

[quasi latch]

We already have that for knives

[analog pine]

Eh...I guess I personally find it a bit boring that both sword types have more or less the same secondary.

[light moat]

Could be worse, a melee weapon could only have one attack and no combo

[analog pine]

Indeed. Runescape-style.

[tacit crystal]

They could have a bit variety maybe, but I don't mind, I prefer 2h swords over 1h personally.

Like how differently 1h, 2h and dual axes perform.

[nocturne wolf]

We already have sledgehammers and pickaxes that do this

[quasi latch]

And

[light moat]

That’s what I was implying, but alas no sledge emoji 😢

[near furnace]

Kek

[quasi latch]

:stagbreaker:

[celest acorn]

NOT THE SMIFFE HAMMER!!!!!

[analog pine]

My viking life is complete as of last night. I found some special rocks and proceeded to draw faces on them. I am now the proud owner of TWO pet rocks.

[distant haven]

dang.. i walked into a fuhling village, was thinking.. aah, there's like only 4 left, triggered one, and about 15 more ran out behind them

but the village was right on the edge of the mountains too, there was a large rock jutting out over top of part of the village. I got the huntsman bow and started picking some off.. if one didn't die and ran up to where i was, i just pushed him off

[analog pine]

The joys of atgiers. Secondary & make a quick escape.

[distant haven]

well sniping them with the huntsman bow i was able to either pick one off without aggroing the rest, or getting a single one to run up to my hiding spot

deathsquitos are nothing to me

[analog pine]

Surprised you don't have the Draugr Fang. That thing's nice.

[distant haven]

i do, but if I hit one with a draugr fang, like 12 fuhlings are triggered instead of just the one i hit

[analog pine]

Ah, the noise.

[distant haven]

yeah.. when i thought i had gotten all of them, i hit a few key spots with the draugr fang to trigger any remaining

since i was perched on a little edge, they didn't really have space to run around me without falling off.. if there was more than one I'd just bump it off with the secondary attack from the crystal battleaxe

[distant haven]

I can't wait till moder is done, I'm already getting a lot of black metal. Dang boss just happened to be surrounded by plains

[still crow]

ROCKY IS HERE!!!

[wheat flume]

Is there no normal wood in the ashlands?

If not I'm so screwed..

[quasi latch]

The trees sometimes drop normal wood

[distant haven]

yeah, trees give me wood all the time

[strange orbit]

is there some community here that does commisions for builds

[pliant hatch]

Not sure, but you may give this channel: https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202313747197345873 try.

Otherwise you could ask around in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1024264966712340510 as well.

[hardy rune]

Anyone want to start a world?

[short plank]

pulling mobs around corners into an atgeir swipe or wild staff root wacking them all is the best

[analog pine]

That Wild Staff goes to town on destroying armies. I love to mass spawn them when the charred army inevitable spawns.

[distant haven]

nice, found a stone skeleton tower pretty close to moder.. turned it into my spawn point

tomorrow, she dies

[daring sinew]

I wish if you were with friends on a boat you could all pitch in and row increasing the speed of the boat

[steel mica]

Thats how vikings used to sail

[light moat]

@steel mica you’ve inspired me to go on a hunt for a 2 star Asksvin on my current world. I could technically bring an egg over from my main world, but I find no glory in that

[steel mica]

Get ready to spend 50 hours going out every night

I recommand going mage and melee hybrid

[shy marlin]

I recommend not engaging with the tame system at all 😏

[steel mica]

My god finally ive completed one side of my mistland base' perimeter wall

Making bases takes awhile

[shy marlin]

Man I wish Asksvin still spawned in groups of 3

[light snow]

I wish seekers had wolf ai and didnt jib jab and walk around

[shy marlin]

😔

[light snow]

Remember when 'they sought you out' wasnt a cake walk of 2 bugs and some babies

[shy marlin]

Ah yea and it had a soldier

Good times

[light snow]

Kinda crazy ppl complained about that destroying bases but fuling shaman and gjall nukes your base from range

🤙

[shy marlin]

😔 🤙

Oh well we can only hope deep north doesn't get nerfed

[steel mica]

That would be a nightmare

[shy marlin]

It was just one more dinosaur was really manageable

[steel mica]

[tacit crystal]

Reverting their group to 3 but changing their faction to "Animal" instead of "Demon".

So it would make sense for the asksvin skeletons around the volture nests and outside and inside Putrid holes.

[near widget]

trollstavs really are the answer to fortresses

this is too easy now

[shy marlin]

Yea it be like that

[rain flare]

Reason 276 for why magic is so OP in this game 😂

[rain flare]

Noooooooooooooooo 😭😭😭
I literally wanted a soldier in that raid!!!
You telling me they nerfed it???
Incredibly sad Sildar noises

starts a petition to bring back the seeker soldier

[steel mica]

The fortresses are fine if you go in carefully and pick off enemies

but overkill solution is the trollstav

[tacit crystal]

Yeah, it was nerfed during PTB, it originally spawned soldier(s) and could happen in Meadows too.
Would be great if it was reverted, since 1. now we have world modifiers and 2. for example fuling horde raid also spawn big fellas.

[distant haven]

I just want some other ranged options that preferably don't require me running back to base for refills

[steel mica]

Youll get it once you reach the biome after plains

[distant haven]

Well, I will be at the plains soon. Already fully raided a village, got a totem, and some barley

[wary bane]

Not a fan of the fang spear?

[distant haven]

For the resources they cost, it's not worth throwing them longer distances. They won't kill a berserker, then you got nothing. Or throw one at a Drake, if you miss it lands two biomes over

[steel mica]

The fang spear is pretty good

Ive used it all the way through plains

The fast attack is really nice

[distant haven]

You went through the mountains without a bow?

[steel mica]

I used huntsman

[merry pebble]

No need for bow or spear 😄 you have your hands

[steel mica]

Just throw hands

[distant haven]

Exactly. It don't matter what your main weapon is, mountains basically require bows

[steel mica]

I once did go through the mountains with just a fang spear after I defeated moder trying to get home

my only weapon was the fang spear against drakes

[distant haven]

It'd be nice if drakes were switched a bit. Maybe they lose altitude when parried, or occasionally try to bite or scratch up close

They're worse than cliff racers

Most creatures in the game have more than one attack already

[nocturne wolf]

Drakes have an unused animation for standing on ground

#screenshots message

[trail fjord]

Jo all

[rain flare]

There is no kill like the overkill 😂

drops a nuke on Ashlands

[rain flare]

This needs to be added to the game!
There is an animation for vultures on the ground too right?

[nocturne wolf]

I'll check now...

[nocturne wolf]

They continue playing their flying animation even when they're not flying

[rain flare]

Aaaaw 🙈

[nocturne wolf]

#screenshots message

[past ore]

Do you still need to create a new save after an update nowadays?

Wondering if it's the right choice to start a new playthrough now, since I miss this game; or wait for Deep North update..

[merry pebble]

Nope, never had to if you didnt explore most of the unfinished biomes 🙂

Also, before Deep North there will be one more update, so i would wait at least for that maybe, since for both of those updates we only know that they "will not be out anytime soon"

[near furnace]

do one now

[past ore]

Hmm, do we know what this update will be about?

[past ore]

If a developer is saying so.. 🤣🤣

[merry pebble]

Have you read to the end of that message? 😄

[past ore]

Then I guess I'll wait a few more days so my friend gets a new GPU, that way I can invite her, and 2 other friends to play with 😎

[near furnace]

RAM and CPU is a big thing in valheim tho 🤔

friend has no GPU or a oooold GPU atm?

[silk token]

since i started playing literally at most i only ever made a finewood bow and brought it on boat rides in case a serpent attacked because so many people on the server were cheesing with bows on platforms or terraformed mounds so out of spite i never used a bow for combat. but that made me get really good at spears for hunting and air. if your spear skill is high enough you can 1shot drakes sometimes, or throw 2 spears in one pass. they’re also op for gjall. early game spears are awesome too you can just take out 3 deer in a pack at once. highly recommend giving spears a try. especially since they’re fixing the elevation stuff soon supposedly

[tacit crystal]

Do one now, then another when DN is there.

[shy marlin]

Then do a challenge run and spiral into madness

[atomic cipher]

Fist only

[regal spoke]

No map no metal go

[light moat]

I’ve been considering doing a no map playthrough 🤔

[past ore]

No GPU

[vocal rivet]

Imagine if no map meant literally there was no world.

Nomadic no map no portal is fun for me. No map can be challenging enough on first go

[past ore]

dzieki ziomalu

[atomic cipher]

I’ve been hunting for somebody us based to play modded with for a while lol

[hollow gate]

im eu based

[silk token]

HIGHLY recommend no map and no portal playthrough, or at least no map. it feels like a different game. i seriously get so much out of no map with immersion and exploration.

[near furnace]

oh dang.. yeah...

[light moat]

That’s what I’m looking to get out of it! Still going back and forth on no portals, but I’m leaning towards no 🤔

[silk token]

you can always put portals back in or turn map on if you’re super duper lost

[near furnace]

try no-sleep playthrough

[light moat]

True, but the exciting of being lost actually sounds really interesting!

Haha no sleep… also sounds neat 👀

[silk token]

but man… the immersion feelings, sailing using the tree and stars, maybe more RP stuff making roads and markers and signs, its a slower more peaceful play style

[atomic cipher]

I might do a no portal run sometime, that could be fun potentially.

[silk token]

yes! getting lost is awesome! lol, and the feeling of seeing your dock lights in the distance and coming home

[light moat]

The thrill of finding boss altars and traders, sounds so cool!

[silk token]

yup that too, do itttt!

[atomic cipher]

That feeling when you get lost and have to make a whole new base from scratch lmao

[silk token]

sure lol, or what i do is not focus too much on one massive elaborate base, but kind of make mini bases in each new biome, and either nomad completely to it, or just bring stacks of food and gather resources and make one big trip home

i usually nomad to swamps,
then to a long camping trip to mountains, then find one great spot for permanent base before going plains raiding

[atomic cipher]

I’ve known people who did no map and made signposted paths everywhere

[silk token]

its not as hard as you think, just need enough metals for crafting stations, but you can get stone, coal, wood, etc whrever you’re going, just dont waste time going nuts filling 10 chests full of wood on your first base

[silk token]

hehe yeah depends how good your memory is. i made a system with building pieces that point a way and mean a thing

[vocal rivet]

I love how people's solution to no-map runs is to effectively create a map.

[silk token]

ive done that too lol! like cleared a flat space and made a little lincoln log map of what i think the world looks like

or just on a post it note on my desk remembering like… “hit this land mass sail around clockwise, go past the two krakkens, sail counter clockwise around next idland”

[night aspen]

Hiya, i just got back to Valheim after a long time and wanted to play a game with some mates. But we wanted to use some easier life mods like massfarming, nothing special. My question is, did something change to get r2modman running for Valheim, what specific mods do i need to use even other mods? Id appreciate some advise. ❤️

[merry pebble]

Folks in #mods-discussion and #mods-issues will be probably of better help than us here 😄
Also welcome back!

True, sorry. ^^;

[merry pebble]

No worries 🙂

[night aspen]

And ty ofc 😄

[dense rapids]

Are any achievements planned to be added for this game?

[vocal rivet]

Yep, they're coming with 1.0.

[analog pine]

I'm strangely hoping for an achievement for completing the game with a Permadeath character. Or no portals. Or perhaps...all of the challenges at once? Something to get players thinking on how to do it.

[shy marlin]

No food perma achievement 😎

[analog pine]

"True Masochist"

[atomic cipher]

No food, fists only, no map or portals, no bed, no death

[shy marlin]

no bed really doesn't matter 🤔

[atomic cipher]

No bed means no sleep

[shy marlin]

If you're doing no food and only fists you don't care about night time spawns

[atomic cipher]

I mean. You kinda should

[analog pine]

I'm guessing someone's proposed a night only world modifier at some point.

[shy marlin]

What I mean is that it's not really an increase in difficulty

[atomic cipher]

More enemies do spawn at night. And it’s harder to see

[shy marlin]

Again, if you're at the level where you're doing only fists and no food, more mobs doesn't make a difference

Source: Did no food perma

[analog pine]

Torches don't get a whole lot of use, it seems. Or maybe that's just me. I do have low-light vision.

[atomic cipher]

I don’t have much trouble seeing at night but it is harder than in the day at least

[merry pebble]

*Scales 😉

[vocal rivet]

Yes, we definitely need Easter eggs named after community members.

[shy marlin]

Someone else is actually going for it and I think they can do it so might have to change that 😏

[shy mantle]

270 hours in the game and have never seen a 2* wolf

[analog pine]

"Difficulty Scales High"

[merry pebble]

Oooh, ok ok 👌

[distant haven]

So, pit or wall to protect my base? I feel like if I used a wall, enemies would just keep hitting it, prompting me to stop whatever I am doing and deal with them

[silk token]

2 star wolves only spawn at night wym

[shy marlin]

If you're doing no food and only fists, starred enemies aren't an increase in difficulty

They're just more hp

[light snow]

Cold debuff is the only downside of night for him

[shy marlin]

Even then it's really nothing, compared to the other limiting factors proposed, no sleep is just a grain of sand in the beach

[quasi latch]

No rested buff + cold + wet ftw

[shy marlin]

The power of walking 😎

[quasi latch]

Everyone gangsta until the forest starts moving

[shy marlin]

Everyone gangsta until you get sought out and a seeker soldier comes after you... oh wait 😏

[silk token]

lol true, early game i always have several minutes of rested going, too many times it’s like “you no longer feel r-the forest is moving”

[light snow]

Feelsbad... nerfed into the ground now wolves and fuling raid is more intimidating 😔 🤌

[shy marlin]

Also the raid music is lame for sought out too

Like first five biomes the raid music increasingly gets more intense and chaotic, and then mistlands and ashlands the raid music just goes back to eikthyr raid music

[quasi latch]

Sounds like we need to get Jarlestam on that one

[pure lark]

And you never will. Unless you stay a night in the Mountain. 2* wolf only spawn at night. Gl taming one hf 😀

[merry pebble]

Any star wolfs only at night 😉 but one other enemy has only 2 star variant that requires night 😄

[silk token]

gjall! what prize do i win?

[near furnace]

🤔

prize?

you win the "don't click the Mr.Beast scam link" prize

[daring sinew]

I wish there was a zombie tower defense game like 7 days to die but with valheim building system

[stoic finch]

There’s a similar game in early access atm kind of

[chilly sphinx]

is the game still beta?

[vocal rivet]

Not since 2021

[analog jackal]

When's the deep north coming out? It's been a while, i wanna continue my playthrough again with more stuff to do. Are there any release dates or at least "promises"?

[shy marlin]

"Not anytime soon"

[analog jackal]

😐

[shy marlin]

Plenty of other great games out there to play while we wait

[robust delta]

nope

[analog jackal]

Well i kinda do wanna play Valheim instead of something else :D

[robust delta]

the devs work on a "it comes out when it comes out" premise. they've been doin' teasers with the adventure of someone (haven't been rlly following it)

[shy marlin]

Have you done a challenge run?

[spare quail]

a modded run perhaps

[analog jackal]

Yeah, but it just puts me into a limbo of "maybe this time I’ll get a few more hours of content if i wait long enough"

[analog jackal]

Oh indeed, don't get me wrong, i have 740 hours on it. But after such a long time, i wish there was more to it than teasers. I played since 2021, and i sometimes feel like the game hasn't changed too much

Especially with the crazy potential it has

[robust delta]

not quite sure what this means

there is a combat update that was mentioned some time ago. i forgot the source where i saw it but im guessin' it may come out this year

[analog jackal]

It just means that waiting is a gamble, we either get some teaser or an update every few months. And i always hope the update adds something new, i mean the suggestions chat is always full of great ideas - but it's mostly overlooked i'd assume

[analog jackal]

Ah, sounds a bit more fresh then, any idea what it's gonna add?

[robust delta]

from valheim newspage they mentioned an archery target decoration to help you aim

and one of the combat content is new armor and "at last fixing slope fighting"

[analog jackal]

Well, i'm hoping it's more than that, sounds like things that modders already added in :D

[shy marlin]

That's just all we know about it

They've only had one bit of news on it

[analog jackal]

Well i mean i hope it's not gonna be just that of course. Hopefully the weapon roster will be complete for every biome, and the extra armors sounds cool, but i also hope it won't be like 1-2 more. I'm not setting my expectations high ever after the hearth and home update :D

[analog pine]

Getting a stupid thought here. End of the game, portal to Valhalla appears in the middle of the sacrificial stones, and we ride the road to Valhalla with a valkyrie...only it's Flappy Bird Valkyrie.

[analog jackal]

Flappy bird update, coming maybe december 2035

[vocal rivet]

It's a combat update, not a content update. That'll come with Deep North.

Also, Hearth and Home was an amazing patch not sure what the issue was there.

[analog jackal]

So is it mainly about tweaking damage values and mechanics, or are there any tangible things included with it? Because from what it sounds like after hearing this, it sounds pretty light, especially considering the wait time

[distant haven]

all my gear is actually gone

[vocal rivet]

The wait time? We didn't know there was one until a month or so ago.

[analog jackal]

I mean the wait time for updates like this in general. The slope combat issue has been present since launch, so there’s definitely been plenty of room and reason to address it way earlier than now

[robust delta]

what happened champ

[robust delta]

far as i know we don't know the answer to that - just that slope combat is getting tweaked and smth for archery practice from the devs rn

[analog jackal]

I mean considering the little drop we got about it, it's fair to not assume much further than that.

[distant haven]

world save didn't save after i got killed and dropped my gear

[robust delta]

sorry to hear that. i think it's possible to back up a previous world save, but i wouldn't know how to do that

[distant haven]

i was able to back up the character save from before I started

it had some stuff on him I used to build a new portal, but the portal in the backed up world save is already built so I just incinerated the extra items to be fair

[vocal geode]

Hi, I’m completely new to the game and was hoping to find someone new who would like to join me and have some fun

[chrome badge]

Welcome! Your chances of finding someone to play with are better in the #1024264966712340510 channel 👍

[vocal geode]

Oh thanks

[vocal rivet]

The wait times have honestly been fine given the quality of the updates we've then gotten.

[simple pecan]

no way this is still in the game lol

I dont even know why it happens but for some reason the biome text on the minimap just changes to a larger font

[distant haven]

Aww,I don't think I'll be able to use the fuhling village I liberated as a base

[chrome badge]

You can, I did this on a playthrough and just caged the residents inside their huts 😅

[unkempt rampart]

Christ... ashlands is so severe man

[robust delta]

yeah it's a relentless onslaught

[analog pine]

Even as a solo mage with an undead army and vine summons, it's awful. It's why I've taken to building campfires everywhere I run in it so mobs don't spawn in their radius.

Pro tip, make campfires and even out the ground with a hoe to bury them to lessen the chance a mob breaks them. Won't prevent mobs that damage the terrain, but it'll stop the others.

[wooden tapir]

my first ashlands experience killed me probably 50 times

completely understandable

[rose parcel]

just punched a golem to death

[shy marlin]

huge

[rose parcel]

it helped to haev a frost cave to retreat into to heal

[analog jackal]

I personally disagree, quality doesn’t mean much when you only get a slice of it once every eternity. And if quality means fixing a day-one issue after 4+ years, then i'd argue the delivery is not on par with the time it took. And sure, i'm no developer, but i hold this opinion firmly, i paid money for the game and i spent a very, very long time on it. I'm sure it's only reasonable of me to expect more.

[vocal rivet]

Well, that specifically is very unreasonable. As a purchaser of an Early Access game you agree to buy the game as is with no expectation of anything else.

[rose parcel]

truth nuke

[shy marlin]

Arguing price point doesn't make much sense either ngl, most games are 60 bucks (and only increasing) nowadays and provide far less content

[rose parcel]

yeah valheim is worth the cost it is

i think i was gifted it though

would definitely gift to a friend though

[wooden tapir]

the problem is your expectations. Expectations are rarely, if ever met by any corporation so it will only lead you to be dissatisfied.

especially since there are a lot of players that are constantly asking about a release date for DN when they know they will only play for 20-30 hours until they beat it and then drop the game again. (nothing wrong with playing this way, its a video game play however you want) but i think the majority of the hardcore player base would rather wait a little bit longer and have a better quality update

i also understand the dev team is not very large, so cant really expect them to just push out an update in what we might deem a "reasonable" time

[hexed plume]

It has been quite clear from the development timeline of this game that it's going to be slow to update. That's totally fine, IMO. I will say however people are so used to the live service model of game patching (at least ever since Minecraft made it super common) and this is quite different.

The somewhat dissapointing consequence about that though is that it can be difficult to get into the new content if you enjoy these types of games primarily as a multiplayer experience, since you'd have to do an entire run all over again to get to that point

[oblique fern]

is there a general "guess" as to when deep north is releasing? and will that be the official "1.0 launch"?

[shy marlin]

No timeline really, there's a combat update that's next, imo deep north in 2025 is HIGHLY optimistic thinking

[oblique fern]

I promised myself last year that I wouldn't do another playthrough until full release but the itch to play has been overwhelming lately..

Feel like I'm about to relapse now that you say 2025 is too optimistic..

[humble mountain]

Lol

Fair

[shy marlin]

If you can hold out for combat update might be worth

[oblique fern]

When is that released?

[shy marlin]

lol we dunno

They've done one teaser on it, so might still be a while

[humble mountain]

They did?

[oblique fern]

why can't they just hire more people and I will throw money at them

[merry pebble]

#news message Yep 🙂

[merry pebble]

Because then the updates turn out shitty 😄

[shy marlin]

If you're digging for a game to play I've been playing lens island and it's cool

[silk token]

i paid my 20 bucks for this game and have outs a thousand hours in and still love it so idk what the big deal is that it’s “not done” when my enjoyment is pretty full

[humble mountain]

Thx

[steel mica]

Valheim has a vision, they want people that have similar interests to what they intend for the game

[merry pebble]

-# That comment is obviously a joke, but the answers still hold true 😄

[steel mica]

[oblique fern]

All fair points.. might just relapse and full send.

[steel mica]

Valheim is one of the games ive put so much hours into it without even noticing

[shy marlin]

Could always spice things up with world modifiers too

[wooden tapir]

i think it would be fine to do another playthrough, you will most likely finish and be able to take another few months break before DN gets finished

[steel mica]

I wish too but my god I still have my mistland base and main base at the work

[gray cairn]

You're not alone, buddy. I know what it's like to feel restless abt that (I'm waiting on Kenshi 2), I personally don't mind waiting and I appreciate the indie part of the game, so I get why it's not pumped out asap, but yeah, doesn't erase concerns and critisisms. 4 years is a long time.

[shy marlin]

Best company to do EA imo has been v rising

[gray cairn]

Worst one is 7dtd

[shy marlin]

I've never played 7dtd but I've been watching a streamer play it on the hardest difficulty perma, and man it really seems like those devs don't even play the game

Maybe #general is better for this

[steel mica]

Devs: oh no players are getting inf water, lets remove that and add another feature of getting water, that way they dont get inf water

Its a survival game 😭

[gray cairn]

100%

[rose parcel]

who ever said /printseeds doesnt get you the world seed actually lied

im mad

[shy marlin]

I think you got hard baited there

[short plank]

Does anyone else feel like there should be a survival crafting game that either just has far less amount of items and less time spent with inventory management. If only they could combine all the QOL changes into one game. V Rising has a feature to let you move and place chests with the contents inside. The Valheim feature where you can hold E to place items is nice but I think grounded has a feature to auto place everything into nearby chests. Return to Moria has the default to let you craft using any mats in chests in your base. But they all have way too many god damned items. I think Fallout 4 might be one of the worst but there still really doesnt seem to be a game that doesnt go overboard on the sheer amount of different items you pick up

There should just be like meat1,2,3 and ore1,2,3 and leather1,2,3 and thats it. 9 items total

[south grove]

I just started a new playthrough recently. Since 1.0 is two updates away I'd say go for it. You could even decide to get into some mods if you wish.

[south grove]

I actually think Minecraft (finally) has the solution. Don't just stop adding items, new items are always fun. Only having nine items doesn't sound great to me. Find a way to mix stacks like what Mojang has done with the bundle. That way having 20 different flowers of small stacks won't be any different to having a full stack of ONE flower. Having more flowers just gives you more colour and decorating potential. I am just using flowers as an example but there are so much more reasons to have varied items.

[frigid gust]

Ehh... that's one of the big reasons I stopped playing Minecraft. There's too much stuff to keep track of, I don't want to make it a full time job or have to have another monitor with references open all the time when playing the game.

[distant haven]

Inventory management only becomes truly annoying when you're trying to scramble to dropped inventory because you died, you're in a dangerous position, click on it.. and tough shit, you walked vaguely too close to that piece of rock that got knocked over, and that one item in your inventory prevents you from picking up all the rest

[wooden tapir]

the toggled auto pickup is op, when you remember to use it

[blazing cobalt]

Why can barely only be grown in the plains. I'm trying to make a medieval village, but I can't reasonably make a bakery or weaver without a means to plant barley or flax in the neighboring fields.

[grizzled bobcat]

anyone tryna start a world im new\

[quasi latch]

#1024264966712340510 sorry wrong autocomplete

[steel mica]

As a builder yes

[chrome badge]

Sounds like you learned the hard way

[blazing cobalt]

The nearest plains are halfway across the world, and portals don't fit the village design. I could try building a shipping route 🤔

[chrome badge]

Portals don't fit the village? That'll make playing difficult won't it?

[analog pine]

I almost wonder if there should have been a Flametal Atgier, but the Himminafl would probably still outclass it due to the extra lightning damage. I don't think anything resists it.

[shy marlin]

Might depend

Hypothetical jade flametal atgeir would be really strong

Probably too strong

[analog pine]

Right, forgot about the gems. In theory, that would give access to another electric atgier.

[shy marlin]

Ye, but lightning atgeir would only be 10 lightning (with chance of the chain lightning but) vs himmins 52 or 58 lightning dmg

[steel mica]

Atgeir by itself is already pretty strong

adding gems pretty much makes an already busted weapon more busted

[shy marlin]

Also have to consider deep north

[steel mica]

atgeir with frost damage

[shy marlin]

I strongly suspect jade is gonna outweigh lightning in deep north

[steel mica]

[steel mica]

Lightning is good for constant crowds of enemies

[shy marlin]

There may not be many crowds that’s the thing yea

[steel mica]

in this case in the ashlands you're getting constantly attack

lightning will be best there

[shy marlin]

Ye

[steel mica]

image a 2-h hammer in ashlands

💀

slap on a gem jade on that bad boy and you got yourself the best crowd control weapon

Also scales is it just me or the leveling up for crossbows feel slow

Ive been using crossbow ever since I got the arbalest

and im still level 27

[shy marlin]

It is yea

Crossbow gain less xp per hit than bows do

Only way I’ve ever been able to get in the 50s for crossbows without skill farming has been to get the black forge early and mess around with the arbalest all through normal progression

[analog pine]

I can't help but think the "metal" of the Deep North is going to be enchanted ice.

[steel mica]

I really love the crossbow but the painfully low exp gain is haunting me

because I should be in the level 50s by now

[analog pine]

Isn't it 0.6xp per shot, and 1.2xp with rested bonus? Coupled with the slow reload that can only be decreased in time with higher Crossbow levels, that certainly makes it a slow process.

[steel mica]

Idk what the exp gain is for crossbow but I can tell its lower than any other skills in the game atm

[analog pine]

Looked it up. It's 1xp per shot base. It seems fast, but the slow reload speed makes it a chore at times.

[steel mica]

I rarely used bow to the point that its level 7

[analog pine]

Crossbows forever. Higher levels make them absolutely lethal.

[unkempt flicker]

Anybody on Xbox looking to play rn? Brand new to the game

[oblique fern]

I did it.. lol. Couldn't help myself.

[distant haven]

I only started using the bow when I got to mountain, it's mandatory, otherwise I probably wouldn't. Although, having a mountain ledge right over top of a fuhling village made it easy to just sit up on top and snipe down on them with the huntsman bow

[fringe harbor]

anybody looking to start new save?

[wide zenith]

Torches still block spawn points?

[brazen linden]

Yes

[keen trench]

you could try making a post in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1024264966712340510

[south grove]

Hahah I hope you enjoy dude!

[shy mantle]

Will I still be able to play the Deep North update when it comes out, on my current world?

Also apologies if this has been asked 1000000 times before

[keen trench]

yup, just make sure you don't explore much of the biome before 1.0, explored area could not be able to spawn new content

[shy mantle]

Okay, that's perfect then. I left the Deep North untouched so far. Cheers

[tacit crystal]

If you want to reveal very little area of DN as possible you could go to the very edge either East or West part of the map incase you want to catch all the fish in game.

[keen trench]

oh, just so you know, maybe avoid to build stuff too close up north, people lost entire castles due to terrain regeneration when Ashlands came out (not build in ashlands, but in nearby Mistlands and Black Forests)

[tacit crystal]

It might not be the case anymore unless one builds inside the biome. Terrain changes affected to the Northern border too when Ashlands came out.

[keen trench]

oh right, didn't know that

eheh that's still 3rd party ptsd (not my black marble castle) from Ashlands drop

[tacit crystal]

I noticed it quite at the start of PTB when I went to visit the small edge in DN and noticed all trees and boulders in adjacent biomes on air. Luckily I had made the portal on one of the boulders that stood in place.

Mountains that got affected by the forced terrain change looked funny, with those huge pillars with POIs on top and boulders everywhere on air.

[eternal sinew]

for the devs: with the archery target, you wont gain bow experience from it right?

[keen trench]

oh yeh, i saw some screenshots of that and wandering how that happened

[tacit crystal]

We don't know the other function of it yet.

At least you can retrieve your ammo from it.

[shy mantle]

I haven't actually tried fishing in this game, I might give that a go

[eternal sinew]

really hope they dont allow exp....would be really stupid and busted if they do

[tacit crystal]

In case you didn't know, there is one item that requires all ingame fish to craft. There is fish in current DN too which is currently the only "content" in there.

[plush umbra]

why this game has no auto save just lost 5 hours of progress irons i dig in swamp i only got half

[eternal sinew]

it does have auto save

[plush umbra]

black out

[keen trench]

devblog says "easy way to practice your own skills!", that's all wee know, could be indeed intended as "your personal aiming skills" and not in game skillpoints, still unclear tho

[tacit crystal]

I can see it being useful for practicing your own aiming skills with different ranged weapons. Not only bows and crossbows but spears too.

[plush umbra]

what if its black out powershortage and pc shutting down it doesnt have

[eternal sinew]

still autosave every 30m or so

[plush umbra]

ye but when u plug out ur pc

[eternal sinew]

i agree, im just saying i hope the target just doesnt give any skill exp, as you can just spam left click bow and arrow and get to 100 easily, since can do that already lol, target would just give u your arrows back etc

[plush umbra]

i dint know this b4

[eternal sinew]

bows in this game are just so op lmao

[tacit crystal]

I agree with that, regarding to my bow only perma run.

[eternal sinew]

crossbows dont stand a chance compared to bows lol

[keen trench]

yup makes sense, maybe will be nice if skill is given if you get center bullseye and over a damage threshold (you'll be forced to fully draw the bow and "waste" time on it), just speculations/thoughts ofc

[eternal sinew]

imo i wish u would only get bow exp if you did a full draw

[tacit crystal]

That would be actually good alternative option.

[keen trench]

yup i meant that, but thinking of it it may be difficult as a mechanic, if based only on damage bow and arrow type can overcome it.. there should be a "programming" way to check if you fully draw, dunno how much that could be messy

[cinder basalt]

Whar should I do before Bonemass to make sure hes easy?

[nocturne wolf]

Bring an iron mace and poison resistance mead

[nocturne wolf]

You could also kill a serpent for the best health food available to you

[cinder basalt]

Okay

[tacit crystal]

Best foods available, in swamp the best HHS setup is sausages, black soup and muckshake/turnip stew (excluding serpent meat, which is really nice but not necessary to get).

[keen trench]

yup, if you have the mats to fully upgrade your it will be a quite fast fight (still very doable with mace level 1 tho)

[analog jackal]

Well, if you're buying something that's under construction, you do expect it to be fully built one day, right? Of course, i get it — it’s not like the devs should sign away their freedom just to satisfy my (and the other thousands of people's) impatience. But still, i paid for the game. I think having expectations for an early access title is more than reasonable even if, unfortunately, those expectations are almost never fulfilled these days.

I'm very grateful for everything that has become of this game so far, and i will keep supporting it. But the pace is upsetting, and expecting more of it is more than reasonable.

[heady parcel]

I have supported several different early access projects and while most start out strong with rapid updates, they all lose steam eventually and time between updates grow longer. It makes total sense, as the game comes closer to completion it grows ever bigger, meaning more care has to be taken when adding new stuff since the reality of software development is that doing one thing you always risk breaking something seemingly unrelated. Doesn't matter if you're adding new content or mechanics, or fixing bugs, there is always a ripple effect and you don't want to push updates that break stuff that was working before. So the bigger the game is, the more polish an update needs before you have a release candidate - and even then shit breaks more often than not.

All that said - Valheim is imo more polished still in early access than most full releases are these days. Howling for quicker updates would only risk damaging that fact, so I prefer the slow pace with working updates.

[analog jackal]

A fair point. I personally believe that the slow pace kills interest over time, but builds a more loyal community. I just don't like the breadcrumbing of "Hey, here's these awesome things you'll get to see! Release date? Give it a few more years and don't expect anything!"

[chrome badge]

Reasonable is not the word I'd use for being upset about the update pace of Valheim. The way forward has always been made clear, and stating release times precisely typically leads to more frustration when delays occur. The thing with early access is that you're interested in being a part of the development, and you're never required to join in on the community. It's especially strange to attempt to make a point that things are slow moving, because early access isn't about setting a pace, it's about helping development and supporting the team. If that's causing some impatience and frustration, perhaps consider just looking back to the game when it is fully released, rather than pouting because there's a handful of months between anything major(a decent pace all things considered imo).

[analog jackal]

That’s definitely a fair point. Though, having spent hundreds of hours in Valheim, it’s natural i'd feel frustrated when progress feels slow on key gameplay features and content. Being part of early access means hoping for steady improvement, not just waiting indefinitely. I’m not trying to "pout", just expressing how some players feel. Hopefully, the updates pick up pace soon, but if it's meant to be as it is, then i understand.

[chrome badge]

Considering Valheim has 1 maybe 2 major updates left, I'd rather they don't pick up any pace and take their time polishing their game.

[analog jackal]

At this point, a bit of roughness would be forgiven if it meant progress. And frankly, most players would gladly take content with a few bugs over blog posts every few months. And 1 or 2 more updates feels like selling the game short. Of course i'm not the one to call the shots on how many more updates there will be, but with the uniqueness and crazy potential of this game, calling it a day after Deep North or an Ocean update just doesn't feel like it.

But yeah, at least it's still growing, nothing wrong with that.

[merry pebble]

You mean that ending where the devs were always planning to end it and we knew it will be like that, as it is a game that is meant to be finished, doesent feel like it?

[tacit crystal]

Current plan they have is that the DN update will be 1.0 release and updates after that bring fixes, improvements and maybe something minor that doesn't change the planned progression of the game.

[analog jackal]

I don't mean the ending, i mean the amount of mechanics, features and content they could still add after 1.0. I mean, there's cool suggestions in the discord every day, so it has much more potential than that.

Besides, putting more content into the first 5 biomes would definitely be welcome, but that's a very subjective opinion from me and shouldn't be taken into account

[tacit crystal]

Next upcoming update probably will bring something to earlier biomes, but we shall see what it will be.
Iirc they usually reveal something like 10-20% of the upcoming content beforehand.

[analog jackal]

The gem system with the ashlands was a great feature imo, they could maybe mold it into deep north as well or other biomes to add variety to the gear.

[merry pebble]

#suggestions are always open 🙂

[analog jackal]

Sure, but with the crazy amount that there is, it's safe to assume it'll be overlooked.

[tacit crystal]

Iirc devs actively read suggestions and if they personally like the certain idea they might add it in some form, regardless how they're voted.

[merry pebble]

Then why even bother writing them anywhere 🤷‍♂️

[near furnace]

yes

[analog jackal]

I wasn't implying that making a suggestion is useless, i was skeptical about whether suggestions just get lost in the desert or not. And based on what Joel said, i have been corrected on that.

You can also bring up suggestions you’ve made/liked in the past to reignite discussions about them.

Which it typically how some #suggestions message get relatively high votes and feedback

Stating it's a safe assumption it'll be overlooked does imply that it's useless though..

[near furnace]

if someone suggests a complete overhaul of the game, when it's on it's final leg of development. it probably won't be added

soooo many people play the first 10 minutes, and have ideas on "future" biomes. without even completing the game yet

I've seen poeple asking for carts, boats, bigger boats than the raft, blue berries etc

like comeone mate, play the game before asking for things

play it and see where it leads, first

don't ask for "I want to go to the moon in a space rocket biome" in a viking themed game

[analog jackal]

Yes, it might've sounded like it, but i didn't mean it in that way, that's my bad

[analog jackal]

No of course, things like that wouldn't ever make sense to even consider.

[near furnace]

but people still ask for those things 😦

people wanted horses and mounted travel, before they realised the world they play on isn't flat, isn't horse friendly and is made up of 100+ small islands

[merry pebble]

It is cat friendly tho 😭

[near furnace]

no.

Oden is afraid of cats to start with

In Norse mythology, Freyja (Old Norse "(the) Lady") is a goddess associated with love, beauty, fertility, sex, war, gold, and seiðr (magic for seeing and influencing the future)

and she has a cat driven carriage

[merry pebble]

Yep

[shy marlin]

omg lol

I have found huge tech ⚙️ lmao

😏 Fader dead in a 3 seconds, zero set up required, no building

[merry pebble]

Either tell us or stop teasing us 😂

[shy marlin]

Ah I'm gonna tease this is insane

[light moat]

What the heck 😂

[shy marlin]

Is there a way to post steam bugs without it being public? 🤔

[merry pebble]

Maybe message directly to Smiffe, ofc if you get his permission

[shy marlin]

I'll ask Marcarbre

this is crazy lmao

[tacit crystal]

The edging game is real.

Saw this last night and woke up this morning with the solution

And then optimized time

[merry pebble]

Hmmm... I would love to go and try it but i didnt kill him yet (saving it for deep north)

[shy marlin]

Never killed Fader :0

[merry pebble]

With a bit of luck the first time killing him will be with my fists

[keen trench]

oh you too i wanted to keep also the Queen for my 2-bosses-less policy, but couldn't resist and miserably failed (by beating her)

[vocal rivet]

So many modded screenshots recently.

[keen trench]

and BotM entries

[shy marlin]

#screenshots message How's this one modded?

[unkempt rampart]

Man.. I love bonemass. Saving my butt in Ashlands

[vocal rivet]

That one I have no idea. Don't think it is.

[near furnace]

I think people mean you need to mod the game to tame it 🤔

[vocal rivet]

Is it tamed or just trapped?

I was more bothered by the ones in #building-screenshots with stained glass windows...

[nocturne wolf]

I still haven't figured out what you did with four wood and now there's another thing I need to find

You're too fast

[shy marlin]

😏 problem solving

The four wood one is so obscure I doubt anyone wille ever figure it out

[nocturne wolf]

I've figured this out already, never mind

[shy marlin]

In 3 seconds tho?
