I believe if you have a mac you can play it as well

its in the app store as well

[compact cedar]

New trailer is glorious.

[split gazelle]

but i would recommed making a steam account and buying it so you can use it on different os on a later date

[empty dagger]

im really looking forward to the next major update

[vital umbra]

the new powers bruuuahhh 🤤

[empty dagger]

I cant wait for deep north

[vital umbra]

the elder actually looking good for once

[smoky quarry]

||bear skin rug||. Life is complete

[stray jay]

Perfect block is the parry?

[steady bough]

Vertical... fighting... improvements? I never thought it'd happen.

Praise the all father

[near furnace]

Keep PTB things in the #valheim-public-test chat

[vocal rivet]

The downside to publicly announcing PTB patches.

[near furnace]

yes

[steady bough]

Derek here to immediately be a moron. How awesome.

Thanks for linking me to a no access channel and for getting slandered for talking about public information. Ban me from this server already you moron

[plush mason]

😂

[smoky quarry]

thats a good video tbh

bear smack!

[vital umbra]

i hear a raven outside as i am talking to hugin

[upbeat crypt]

Is the bear real?

[vital umbra]

last i checked it wasn't april 1st

: P

[vocal rivet]

#valheim-public-test for discussing the PTB.

[bright crag]

how do I make backups so my save wont get corrupted if i test this new updaet

[placid dust]

What are the new elder powers?

[ornate sentinel]

Forge new world, forget the past.

[placid dust]

Did they nerf my king bone mass?

[steel wadi]

I know someone was complaining about a link to a no access channel, but isn't that a channel thats locked behind an opt in role? the public tester role?

yeah lol, just grabbed it to see and it's the opt-in role for public tester

[upbeat crypt]

Where are characters and worlds backed up to again?

I've checked appdata, documents...

[warm sandal]

oh i just watched the News and I hope it does not take ages to be ptb tested and optimized... I am so looking forward to new foe 😄

[royal seal]

the fact that this is how I notice that Valheim doesn't have bears...

[upbeat crypt]

a bear did that

[vocal rivet]

The more testers the quicker it goes live... 😉

[tiny tiger]

This like the 5th time atleast where they add something they said they wasn’t gonna add lol (bears)

[tight vapor]

I was out looking for bears for almost an hour D:

[ember panther]

Yo fire update

[craggy lance]

wheres this vile monster thing

[vocal rivet]

Are you playing on the test branch?

[craggy lance]

y

[smoky quarry]

bears don`t wana have you

[vocal rivet]

It's the only place you'll find them.

[craggy lance]

yes i know, im in test branch

i assume its swamp but couldnt find one yet

[vocal rivet]

#valheim-public-test

[fresh patio]

@vocal rivet I haven’t fallen asleep yet but was also on DnD on my phone. I called it, Gamescom lmao 😂

[torpid gazelle]

Hey does anyone know where the new location is?? in the call of warps update??

[smoky quarry]

only missing round shield longboat with smoll balistae on bow

[near furnace]

please keep stuff in the #valheim-public-test channels

[mild garnet]

I don't have access to that channel :/

[near furnace]

[vocal rivet]

[silk oar]

They actually did it......they put Bears in the game....

[toxic path]

Ok but where can I find the full version of the song that plays in the trailer????

[robust token]

Same!

Fire! Lighting! He's the viking!

[silk oar]

I am so happy with just the addition of bears. Everything else is second to that ONE thing.

[rugged solar]

hell yea

mining damage maybe?

[livid grove]

Do we know where the bears are going to spawn?

[silk oar]

Health Regen

[rugged solar]

i hope mountains

[silk oar]

My guess is Meadows and/or Black Forest

[near furnace]

keep public test stuff in the #valheim-public-test channel

[livid grove]

Oh my b

I think lol

[near furnace]

[balmy willow]

Chat, when is the official release date for the new update?

[warm sandal]

If folks don't stick to the proper channel they gonna get the stick 😄 thank you Smiffe for being here and keep spoilers down!

[near furnace]

when it's bugfree

[balmy willow]

and is there an estimated release date or is it still unconfirmed

[near furnace]

no confirmed date

[warm sandal]

I think there was no estimated releasedate for any update I ever saw since I started playing. I guess the DEVs are clever as heck, they do not promise anything and then come in with a big bag of goodies as a surprise.

[near furnace]

<-- developer

[rugged solar]

I think the bog witch was only a couple weeks from PTB to release but combat probably invites more potential bugs

[warm sandal]

me feeling right now like a kiddo waiting for christmas 😄 looooove it so much

[balmy willow]

I see, thanks

[robust token]

I love how they keep promoting their update on slope combat in three different scenes 🤣

[river pebble]

mornin people

[stiff mulch]

hi smiff this was jokingly sarcastic btw love the work you do on the game

[eternal blade]

based on the length of previous betas, how long do you expect this one to last before the patch goes live?

[vocal rivet]

The length of previous tests is irrelevant.

[vagrant pasture]

I think less than a week

[vocal rivet]

I'd say that was utterly unrealistic.

[vagrant pasture]

In any case, I think there is no point on trying to guess a release date, it just will be ready when it's ready 🙂

[turbid leaf]

Feel free to direct me to another channel is there is a better one for this; but I've self hosted a dedicated server a number of times. Currently running a i9 10900k w/ 32g DDR4 Ram & a 3080 GPU... When I've hosted in the past it has run fine for the first 5, a bit laggy at 6 and unplayable at 7.

Are my specs just not high enough? Are there settings I can edit to enhance this a bit (Aiming for 10 this time around with the patch) and/or am I just better off paying for a server hosting service (if so, recommendations welcome).

[vagrant pasture]

Correct me if I'm grong but the heavy lifting of Valheim processess run client-side
So I think it is not your server. Unless you're using server-side mods

[turbid leaf]

Vanilla server- no mods. If you're implying I need better specs... Any idea what to aim for to achieve a stable setting for a 10 player game? Doubt I'll always have that many.. but I may well the first night I spin it up.

[vagrant pasture]

It depends on what your problem is

If your problem is too much lag (teleporting/moonwalking players&mobs, unable to poen doors/chests, etc.. ) then It might be latency or network issues between players

[edgy dome]

guys, just saw the call to arms update, quick question, is leg spreading coming back?

[proper sundial]

I wonder why they added wooden knife? is it going to replace the flint knife or.... same tier isnt it?

[turbid leaf]

Read all the patch notes. Explanation was given

[vocal rivet]

Wooden items have very specific roles.

[vestal osprey]

xbox test running? cant access update

[proper sundial]

smarter-than-average valheim player (or just gamer in general):

[edgy dome]

i miss it so much(the leg spread, that is), how one leg would float to the elevation of the ground nearest, you used to sit on the bed corner, your leg would go to the ground, if you sit on the ground with a wooden pole nearby, if you stand in the corect place, your leg would go VERY high in there, i miss this feature

[vocal rivet]

I don't think that's a feature..

[old drift]

if i load this new test on a server ive already played on will it brick it when theres an update??

[proper sundial]

ah man dunno if its spolers or not. guess I cant name it then but they finally added the most important facial hair ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

[strong stirrup]

Probably not but REMEMBER TO BACKUP WORLDS

[old drift]

thanks man, why is the backup necessary? is it just incase theres bugs in the test thatll mess up the server??

[strong stirrup]

Yeah

[edgy dome]

well, it used to be like this, before the update that nerfed the stamina and made the game dificult for the wrong reasons, the non crossed leg height was not fixed, but flexible to fit the terrain

and sudently videos of such fun feature are nowhere to be found, kinda like how mandela effect work

[near furnace]

incase we need to rollback something

[mint ferry]

lets goooooo!!! new update around the corner, im hyped!

[brazen linden]

A very laaaaaarge corner, mind you.

[mint ferry]

[vocal rivet]

Not that large.

[gilded gust]

[mint ferry]

[wanton cobalt]

I think we have different point of views of "large"

[mint ferry]

For me large is 3months or more in this case

[vocal rivet]

Couple of weeks is large?

[brazen linden]

Are 2 hours large?

[vocal rivet]

No, of course not.

But then it's not coming out of testing in two hours.

[midnight scroll]

Can I play through the ge force now beta test?

[brazen linden]

That is your point of view

[vocal rivet]

No it isn't.

[brazen linden]

Yes, it's your point of view. I don't have to agree with you.

[vocal rivet]

I don't think you'd agree with me if I said 2 + 2 = 4.

[brazen linden]

I've seen it done. So I agree with 2+2=4

[smoky quarry]

pretty sure the tankard was able to stay on item stands before :/

[brazen linden]

Are you referring to PTB? Please take it to the right channel

the update seems great! I've used a mod long ago to fight bears, glad they're in the game now

[fierce saddle]

Anyone know if public test branch can be played multiplayer?

[near furnace]

because players don't have embed rights

[near furnace]

it can. but ask `PTB stuff in the correct channels

[fierce saddle]

Gotcha, sorry and thanks!

[near furnace]

[vagrant pasture]

[round wigeon]

So it's not official art?

you misunderstood what they said 😅

[near furnace]

you're just not allowed to post pictures here and they will show up

there are media channels for that

but all of that guys art are official

we hire him

[steel mica]

I forgot

[plush umbra]

if it's a nightspawn and hasn't eaten a single time yet, it'll refuse to eat while it's daytime.
if it spawned during the day, it'll eat anytime

[brazen linden]

One star wolf, yes. 2 star need to start at night, but will keep taming during day.

[plush umbra]

i think nightspawns stop refusing to eat if they have eaten once before, but i'm not certain about that.

there's no difference in behaviour between stars

[upbeat crypt]

Boy aint eating

he's without ! or the yellow thing but he's not despawning either

[plush umbra]

then it's a nightspawn and it hasn't eaten yet, assuming it's calm.

[upbeat crypt]

so we just wait until it's night ?

[plush umbra]

can't say for certain whether or not it's a nightspawn, maybe it's only not despawning because you're too close to it

but waiting til night is the safe option

[upbeat crypt]

it's inside our fortress, we can just sit the day out

We have yellow hearts! and the sun is still up

[plush umbra]

oh sweet!

here on discord

sorry i am new to server

[strong stirrup]

no

these chats are for everything valheim related

[vocal rivet]

I have no idea what a farming channel would be. This must be a translation error.

[lunar sapphire]

My guess would be a channel to discuss mob farming strategies.

Boars, wolves, lox, asksvins
Spawners

[vocal rivet]

Oh, hadn't even thought of that.

[lunar sapphire]

As a person who spends a lot of time custom making my own mob farms each time I play valheim - more so this playthrough - I’d welcome the channel but we honestly don’t need more channels 😂

[haughty wolf]

Hey all. I saw the trailer thing for Valhiem on youttube. Is the whole bear thing in the game or is it on a private test thing?

[vocal rivet]

It's in public testing right now.

[haughty wolf]

ah ok

i'm stoked about it cause it'll make the starting game terrifying lol

[strong stirrup]

Also don't talk about the next update here

[echo wind]

It'll be in the game soon. Bear with us.

Not sure about rule interpretations but I mean it's in the trailer

[strong stirrup]

Yeah, but its still spoilers

[vocal rivet]

There are people who are not watching the trailer deliberately.

[severe tendon]

i dont

[scarlet fossil]

I have bad news for them. The cover and banner art in steam has already been updated.

[vital umbra]

i don't know what the big deal is about watching the trailer, unless it were a deep north update related one then i don't care about spoilers at all

[solemn hawk]

do crops by any chance grow faster while its raining or nah

mostly asking cuz some games do that and some dont

[foggy glacier]

strictly time based

[solemn hawk]

dang

[wide kestrel]

Hey fellas I am confused about this new trailer. Is this a DLC, small update or deep north update or what xD

[vocal rivet]

This is a trailer for the release of the combat update which is now in PTB.

[wide kestrel]

I see, so it will become a part of the game before Deep North?

[vocal rivet]

Yes.

[solemn hawk]

when do yall think itll be added

i dont think i saw a release date for the update

i might have just missed it tho idk

[oak river]

A few weeks

That's the norm for how long it takes to go from public test to live game

[solemn hawk]

oh ok thats good

[vocal rivet]

Depends entirely on how testing goes.

[solemn hawk]

so its like just a small test to find some more bugs before it officially releases

[vocal rivet]

Like every other PTB, yeah.

[solemn hawk]

yeah i dunno much about ptb thats why i was askin lol

[vocal rivet]

Oh, my mistake. You have the tester role, so I assumed you knew what was up.

[solemn hawk]

oh i think i just clicked that i dont remember how i got it lol no worries

i really am excited for the new ||Forsaken power reworks|| they all seem so good

[vocal rivet]

Come test them, you're a tester after all.

[solemn hawk]

my friend and i decided to try out the new stuff once we beat our current run

its his first real playthrough through the game and i still havent even reached the ashlands personally ngl

my last playthrough was cut short when my other friend got burnt out after the queen

is there like a limit to how many eggs a hen can lay in a set size area

or will they always just lay eggs and theyll hatch as long as i have a fire going

[solemn hawk]

yo sorry for the ping but do i gotta delete my message too just askin

[merry pebble]

Once they reach the limit of eggs, chickens and hens in certain area they will stop laying them.

[merry pebble]

Welp you have it censored at least 😄

[unkempt marten]

long live the queen..

Time for ashlands :3

[solemn hawk]

im gonna name all my hens shithead bro

they will NOT stop hiding in a singular corner messing with me

[dark coyote]

the limit is 10 and it counts chickens also, so you want like a chute or something so the eggs roll/drop far enough away, and then that spot will have its own limit of 10, its frustrating. #building-screenshots message

[solemn hawk]

like 10 per how big of an area

like i built a pretty big barn and i js wanna know

well it aint too big but its a 16x12 barn

[dark coyote]

well in that screenshot I had to drop the catch floor down one level, so I guess its an 8 unit radius?

[solemn hawk]

also do chickens grow up faster if i sleep

my friends telling me they dont but i dont believe that

[merry pebble]

I think they should 🤔 but not 100% sure

bruh this trailer came outta nowhere

no word from the devs for two months then they drop a ptb

Im assuming things like the smelter work like mincraft in that they are "chuck loaded" meaning if im away from the base, no ore is processed.

[rocky terrace]

Plenty of survival craft games comes close but they just doesn't fill that niche that valheim does, it's such a charm to play

[merry pebble]

When you start smelting and you go far away the internal timer is still going, so when you come back all the ore that would be smelted if you would stayed next to it will still be smelted. 🙂

[fossil delta]

Fortunately our crops grow while we are away too. All we have to worry about being present for is our livestock. You can work out... I guess the best thing to call it is a work schedule. So that your animals give you what you want while you are staying around your base doing other things, such as planting, cooking, crafting, and building. Still, there are times I will have my character sit in their most comfortable chair, while my animals breed, and I go AFK to take care of real life stuff.

[sage vine]

Ashland is actually very easy now

less spawn rate of the enemies

pre patch that was hellish

unlimited spawn rate

[merry pebble]

The main difficulty at the beginning was enemies alerting to any sound and then coming for you, + there was more of them 😄

[lunar sapphire]

Tree burning? That was YOU!

[sage vine]

They can hear you even from a mile away

and the vultures

[merry pebble]

Enemies hearing is base on how much noise you make 😄

[sage vine]

though they taste good when roasted so it's a win

[sage vine]

enemies hears me after taking a single step to the shore

[rain flare]

Starts making as much noise as possible 😂

Making our way to the ashlands for the 1st time on the new boat!!!

We got stonecutter stone portal mats and sheild gen mats ready to go on the boat for 1st landing

We think hitting the outside far edge on the corner to is best way to approach

[tacit crystal]

Sounds like you're gonna have some fun.

[plush umbra]

Yeszssirrr

We got the best foods and meads available so far and weapons and armor and are ready to go

[tacit crystal]

Nice, have fun!

[plush umbra]

Its a long boat ride

[tacit crystal]

Were you playing solo or co-op?

[plush umbra]

This world is 3 of us

[valid python]

Sorry if this is asked all the time: But can boosts bring you to an effective level above 100?

[near furnace]

no

it maxes out at 100

[valid python]

Ight.

[plush umbra]

1st ashalnd landing could not have gone better !!! Amazing im in love

[rain flare]

Nice! 😂
Certainly sounds like it went better than mine! 😅

[plush umbra]

When i say it could not have gone any better I mean that lmfaoo

[supple holly]

So not to many mobs on your back trying to to touch the shore? I died 2 times before I got a portal up.. Later I got 2 dvergs helping me but apparently I hit one, so the other came after me and before I realized it was the dvergr attacking me, I was dead again... Not going to to help those guys anymore.. Let them do the fighting for you 😉

[wispy plinth]

Is the valheim update out?

Thanks I'll move chats after but before I go through this is it accessible on console and does it pose a risk to existing save files if so?

[tacit crystal]

Don't know for sure about console since I've never played on it. But definitely make backup saves before participating.

[wispy plinth]

Thank you

[rugged mango]

Hey guys, I am relatively new to Valheim and just saw the beta for the next patch. How long do they usually take to push that to the official game?

[near furnace]

depends on the amount of bugs, tweaks and such that needs to be done

some people will say 2-3 weeks. but that's just guessing.. I think this one will take longer

[rugged mango]

Well as long as it's not Project Zomboid format I'm good. Thanks

[near furnace]

no clue how they did it

we just want to deliver non-bugged and poorly balanced content to the live version. it has to take time to get it good enough to the big masses of players

[raw token]

Caught me a lvl 4 Grouper 🙂 🐟

[plush umbra]

Nah we got bombarded but we had the right gear and foods and meads and perfect teamwork setting up portal sheild Gen and building portal house while defending our post at the same time, it was perfect

[raw token]

And now a lvl 4 puffer 🐡

That took a minute

[west mica]

Well damn I had to turn on passive mode to make my ashlands beach landing... I think I could have maybe done it eventually but after hours and hours of dying

Feel slightly bummed out since I've been using very few cheesings or exploits

[strong stirrup]

Hehe I play with tiny skill drain coz I die 0-2 times every in-game day

[cloud nova]

These updates are awesome. I play this game in bursts and the updates almost always come out around the time I feel like getting back into it haha good job iron gate

[steel mica]

Bring lots of stone and make a temporary ground tower

[plush umbra]

We made a stone hut yea

[steel mica]

make sure you defend it from valkyries

you'll know what a valkyrie is when you encounter it

[plush umbra]

As I said we had that sheild gen and portal up in seconds only took a few minutes to get stone hut up

[steel mica]

Ashland D-Day

[plush umbra]

Ive seen em on yt

So far nothing in the ashlands can really take the 3 of us on

[steel mica]

Oh you'll encounter him, just you wait

Hits hard and is relentless

[plush umbra]

I'm sure

So far its been light work tho

[steel mica]

Once you get established its mostly calm

[plush umbra]

Super fun tho fr cuz of the constant battles

[steel mica]

till it isnt

[cloud nova]

If i could find the screenshot. My first ever landing on Ashlands was just a series of death icons with the same few days hahahaha

[plush umbra]

I like the chaos

[steel mica]

and sh- hits the rails

[plush umbra]

I embrace the chaos

[cloud nova]

I killed the new serpent close to the shore, a new one popped up while fighting the skeletons, then some vultures joined in....truely a Valhiem new biome experience

[plush umbra]

The bone serpents kept running away before we could kill em, we forgot the harpoon lol

[cloud nova]

Really? Mine always hunted me down

[plush umbra]

Yeah it was a tad disappointing

[cloud nova]

I've never ran into a 1 or 2 star serpent or bone maw

Do they exist?

[steel mica]

Arbalest or staff of embers?

[plush umbra]

Neither

[steel mica]

What weapon

[plush umbra]

Spinesnap

[steel mica]

From my experience enemies usually run away when I blast them with the power of the sun aka the staff of embers

from a long distance

[plush umbra]

I use 4 staffs rn, fire frost protection and fracturing

[cloud nova]

Legit question. Does the staff of protection really offer good damage reduction?

[plush umbra]

Blocks 2 hits from the queen herself

Its pretty useful when going into un certain situations

[cloud nova]

I'm not happy with how you need food just to have mana, so i stopped using magic after a few seeds

[plush umbra]

Im able to keep a pretty balanced meal

[cloud nova]

Personality think there should be a base amount just like health and stamina

[plush umbra]

Eh, I dont seem to mind, I'm able to use my stam and eiter pretty wisely to not need more than 150-170 health at any given time letting Me focus on eiter and stam using platters and eiter base food

[steel mica]

For how strong sop is having base mana would make sop even stronger

[civic escarp]

killing Eikthyr undergeared in Eikthyr's Altar vc if anyone wants to watch or play

[plush umbra]

Yeah if I had a base eiter bar id be unstoppable 🤣🤣

[steel mica]

Magic by itself is pretty damn strong compared to melee

While both play differently magic is just strong

you get access to elements not many weapons have elemental aspects unless its flametal weapons

Whats even better? mix matching both magic and heavy ❤️

ahh my beloved heavy and magic build

[hollow token]

is Call to Arms going to be the last update when it comes live before 1.0?

[cloud nova]

A base number can be 25 or even 30. What ever the amount is needed for a single cast.

Like how health is 25 without food

[plush umbra]

Whats the point then 🤣

[cloud nova]

Does it cost more if the staff is higher level?

[steel mica]

No we still have Deep North next

[plush umbra]

No

[steel mica]

But thats gonna be awhile so lets all be patient vikings here

[cloud nova]

Doesn't a higher level SoP protect more?

[plush umbra]

Yes

And higher blood magic skill lvl too

[cloud nova]

Thats weird. I'd expect it to cost more mana. Never base then

[plush umbra]

Sop cost way more than 35 btw

[tacit crystal]

It's the smaller "Combat update" that has been discussed here earlier which comes before 1.0 and DN.

[plush umbra]

Different staffs have different eiter takes

Sop takes 100 eiter and a % of ur health

[steel mica]

Item quality differs to skill level

Item quality just increases durability and damage but with some exception like

the staff of protection instead of 1m on max level staff of protection you get 4m of protection but it does not increase durability of the shield

[cloud nova]

Not increasing eiter cost for higher grade seems weird to me

[steel mica]

blood magic increases the durability of the shield and correct me if im wrong but also reduces eitr cost and life cost aswell, by default level 0 shield has 200 durabilty and every additional level you get 5+ durability

[plush umbra]

Yyp

[near furnace]

probably 🙂

then comes Deep north with 1.0 🙂

[cloud nova]

I really hate giving up health and stamina for eiter in food. I play solo so feels like a huge handicap for me. Sure magic does a lot of damage. I'm also just probably being stubborn haha

[steel mica]

Are you endgame or in mistlands?

[plush umbra]

Even on my solo world I find it better cuz u can keep a distance, I also dont find myself needing to sprint or roll to dodge 90% of mobs even in ashlands

And if I do sprint its in spurts to not rlly use any stam at all

[steel mica]

Heavy ± Magic build my beloved

[plush umbra]

U gotta use ur stam and eiter strategically

[plush umbra]

I mix my armor i dont like heavy

[steel mica]

both the ashlands and mistlands feasts are a really good combo

[plush umbra]

I'll eat the mistland feast with 2 eiter foods and be perfectly fine

[steel mica]

Its either EES for a bit more stamina or EEE for full magic

[cloud nova]

I've made it to Ashlands and think close to maxing out all the non magical stuff. Been awhile. I binge and burn out playing. Have not fought the ashlands boss

[plush umbra]

No u can mix ur armor lmao, for example mistalands I ran fenir cloak carapace helm feather cape and eiter weave trousers to max the best stats for both melee and magic

And keeping it light with high armor

[cloud nova]

Doesn't the fenir cloak and feather cape make you take more fire damage?

[steel mica]

Yeah I know you can use other armours even if you're going full mage lmao

[plush umbra]

Bruh no

[cloud nova]

I don't remember everything stats, its been months

[plush umbra]

Fenrir straight says dmg modifier fire resistance

And it says dmg modifier frost resistant same with the feather cloak thats frost resistant

And u need 2 frost resistant armor types to not be cold on frost mountains

Making feather cape best cape for frost mtn and mistlands

[steel mica]

You dont?

[plush umbra]

Last I checked u do

[vocal rivet]

Resistance doesn't stack.

[cloud nova]

I was always fine with just a wolf cape

[steel mica]

You dont need 2 frost resistant armor to survive thr cold

Just any of the cape above mountain progression will work

[plush umbra]

Odd, my game must have been bugging back then

[plush umbra]

Not true. Ashen cape and askvin cape for example have 0 frost resistant

And there are more I'm sure

[steel mica]

The thick gigantic ashen cape

[vocal rivet]

As untrue as your other assertion.

[plush umbra]

If it dont say frost resistant its not frost resistant

It just has the -20% stam for attacking

As it says in its description

[steel mica]

Perks
The Ashen cape gives resistant against frost, -10% to attack stamina usage and -20% to block stamina usage.

Straight taken from the valheim wiki fandom

[plush umbra]

Sure but the IN GAME description, says nothing about frost resistant at all

I trust the game more than a fandom

[steel mica]

I mean I could check in game

[plush umbra]

I just made the thing today

[vocal rivet]

The info in the Wiki is FROM the game.

[tacit crystal]

Last I checked in game both capes have frost resistance mentioned.

[plush umbra]

It takes about the lines in the cape lmfao

Unless my game tweaking it says, thin metal threads are woven into this cape an intricate pattern like destiny woven by the norns themselves, crafted by ***** weight 4.0 quality 2 durability 100% repair station 3 armor 10 attack stam usage -10% block stam usage -10%

[placid idol]

I saw the giant monster at the end of the trailer, is that a teaser for deep north? Its not mentioned in patch notes. Maybe a raid?

[steel mica]

#screenshots message

Here you go @plush umbra

[plush umbra]

But whats it say

If my game tweaking id like to know lmfao

[steel mica]

What matters is the cape THE GIANT TURTLE NECK LIKE CAPE gives you frost resistance ty :3

[near furnace]

everything in the call to arms trailer, is in the call to arms PTB atm

[steel mica]

The devs probably just forgot to add the text frost resistance

[plush umbra]

Ptb?

[vocal rivet]

Weird that.

[placid idol]

Derek hasn't changed I see. I guess it would fall under bear dispite it not really looking the part

[plush umbra]

Ah ok

[west mica]

I'm actually not sure I can even do Ashlands... so like I said I temporarily went into passive mode to land, I landed right on a ruined temple thing so I made a lil stone penthouse up there with a shield generator. I started using ranged weapons to take down what I could from up there, took out the one spawner I could see, when a morgen turned up though it was wrecking everything and if takes out the stairs then I'll probably be in an endless loop of building stairs just for them to get wrecked. Even the twitchers throwing rocks did a lot of damage. I tried going to ground level but that lasted a matter of seconds, every mob attacking me all at once.

I think maybe whilst I was in passive mode the spawning just kept going and going so there was a whole army waiting for me before long... but without that I dont see how I'd even get as far as setting up a portal.

As they say, no plan survives first contact with the enemy.

[cloud nova]

You die....a lot lol at least I did when I first landed

[void dagger]

that call to arms trailer was actually kinda badass

[west mica]

I dont mind dying a lot if theres soemthing at the end of it but I feel like I'm in an endless loop of spawns.

I didnt even have a moment to put campfires down to block spawns.

[void dagger]

i know u have prob heard this before but... skill issue...

[cloud nova]

They spawn off these tomb stone looking things

[void dagger]

wat

[west mica]

Yes skill issue. Well, I beat The Queen on my first try, no deaths. So I cant be that bad at this game.

But I am pretty bad.

[cloud nova]

Meant spawn. I'm on mobile and swype to type

[void dagger]

ahhh ok i was gonna say like wtf does that even mean lol

[void dagger]

upgrade ur gear more, level up and sail to ashlands and take ur time to find a safe spot to land

[west mica]

Yeah I killed a monument of torment and it gave a couple minutes of reprieve but then more skeletons turned up... I had the whole gamut of spawns, morgen, askvin, fallen valkyrie turned up at the end

[void dagger]

damn bro got jumped

[cloud nova]

It is annoying how the enemies will walk towards you, even if they haven't spotted you yet.

[near furnace]

I mean.. they go investigate if they hear something (as in you)

[void dagger]

thats why u gotta be faster

[west mica]

Like I say, I think using passive until I set up a portal backfired, because everything kept spwwning and spawning.

[cloud nova]

No. I mean as in you could be not moving and they walk towards you

[void dagger]

they roam?

[cloud nova]

Roaming around and consistently going in your direction aren't the same

My experience at least

[void dagger]

did u jump?

[cloud nova]

No

[void dagger]

attack? sprint? etc

[cloud nova]

No. Im talking all the enemies, not just ashland

[void dagger]

i havent experienced that

[charred rune]

Once you did some progress there in terms of gear and food it will become much easier. Also don't shy away from picking fights left and right; just don't run around like a moron. The mobs will notice you and will swarm you if you circle around too far.

[void dagger]

as stated previously i think it might be a skill issue

[void dagger]

🫡

[cloud nova]

Okay, not all enemies. The boars, deer, and necks don't.

[void dagger]

💀

[cloud nova]

Max gear for one biome is barely good enough to take on a few things in the next

[void dagger]

i bet u still get killed by falling trees dont u?

[charred rune]

Well, that's kind of how the game works. It encourages you to push into the next biome so you will eventually become strong enough.

[west mica]

Its giving 'bro, do you even lift?'

[void dagger]

🤯

[wooden shadow]

I found a way to push Valheim from 30 / 40 fps back to 100 fps without needing to lower the game's quality 😄

It's something on Steam called Lossless Scaling. Saw some vid about it on yt and decided to test it. It actually works pretty good

[urban ivy]

does anyone here stream, and if so, are you streaming the playtest?

[robust token]

Gettin stronger everyday, there's nothing in his way 🎵

[maiden tartan]

Is it only me or taming animals seems so useless at the moment?

Wolves are alright but it’s too much of a hassle to tame em and they aren’t very useful past mountains
Also the fact that you can’t really transport them past the island you tamed them on

[vernal lynx]

Update? Update!

[near furnace]

it's optional

personally I never tame animals

but some people love taming them

[charred rune]

Depends how much you value having specific resources available all the time withou going out and farm them.

Also 2*-wolves are amazing for defences.

[maiden tartan]

How are you gonna get them out of the island thou

Not like you can transport animals

[charred rune]

I found it more easy to tame them where there's a comfortable way back to your home. Getting them off other islands is not feasible imo.

[brazen linden]

You "can" transport animals on boats, if you are creative. But wolves will get aggressive against mobs if you're close to shore or Sea Snake

[fluid plank]

Ive sailed 2 stars around the map
Breed back ups wherever you tamed them first

[late trench]

How is new update?

Is it playable?

[fluid plank]

Currently only on public test branch
No live update yet

[lunar sapphire]

So they might change it up these days?

[brazen linden]

Days. Weeks. Months. Who knows

[fluid plank]

No release date yet

[late trench]

Aight

Well I guess will install it

could it pottentially fuck up a save?

[brazen linden]

yes

[fluid plank]

All the mods will be outdated until modders can get to them

Sadly might be the end of veinmine 😭

[high copper]

do we know if this is the final patch?

[vocal rivet]

No, we have Deep North / 1.0 to look forward to.

[rocky obsidian]

I dont think we have had any confirmation on deep north yet i guess, but i was just wondering will we get more knives and fists weps there

[merry pebble]

We know about one weapon type that will be there from todays "Word from the devs" but it was not one of those 😄
-# Tho one of these weapon types is in the current player test beta 😄

[tacit crystal]

That'll remain to be seen. At least ||sword|| according to latest post in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202150165449035816

Yea, made me thought about that question haha

[pseudo osprey]

Any word on a PS5 version?

Not a word. Rather up to Sony. They won't be interested before 1.0 release at any rate.

[ocean raptor]

I just installed the PT and had the Game running in the Main menu for a while. But i just went to eat something and i can't start the Game anymore?
Does anybody can help with that?
The game freezes immediately with the Coffe Stan logo

[maiden tartan]

Idk
I just think they could make it better

[lunar sapphire]

pretty cool

[keen sequoia]

so whats the song in the new trailer

[near furnace]

Hm.. good question 🤔

[rocky obsidian]

tbh i just hope deep north has more knives

[mint bluff]

i want to eat it

[still sedge]

valheim should lowkey add ore piles, we already have stone and stuff but the ore piles would look nice in a mine build

[west mica]

Well I succesfully made my ashlands FOB, I save scummed to the staging portal I set up on the nearest non-ashlands island, no passive enemies or other world modifiers I just sailed along the beach until I found somewhere that looked quiet, had a big rock too to jump up on. I think the spawn rates just vary massively from one area to the next, it was fine, I've been killing some spawners and putting campfires down without an issue.

[distant forge]

Was boating our way to the local swamp when night time started we thought to take refuge until the morning so we boarded an island and soon found out it was a giant turtle 😲

[west mica]

You found a leviathan bro

You can mine the barnacles

[maiden tartan]

Very useful actually

[cobalt token]

Big ups to the dev's for adding more 2 hand axes. I take a bronze 2 handed axe is not being considered?

[maiden tartan]

Speaking of bronze

Probably my least favourite resource in the game so far

Especially if you’re in coop

Your pickaxe is weak and copper veins are massive

So you end up spending like 3 days digging a massive hole

[lunar sapphire]

Copper and Iron are also obtainable in a later part of the game

(after swamps)

[maiden tartan]

Sounds awesome but it doesn’t make Bronze Age any better

My least favourite part of the game

[dreamy fox]

I think the fist attack animation should have a faster or different animation. The normal attack animation is lame and slow

[maiden tartan]

It only lasts as long as it does because of copper veins

[west mica]

The first time I went copper mining I died a hundered times to a troll and other woodland creatures and came home with 3 copper I wanted to cry.

[maiden tartan]

Bronze Age in coop is terrifying

The amount of copper you need is daunting

[vocal rivet]

Probably the least of any ore in the game.

[maiden tartan]

Especially when you have like 3+ people

[maiden tartan]

Other ore is somewhat funnier to grind and you get them in nice amounts

[vocal rivet]

Funnier? Iron is funny?

[maiden tartan]

I like mining iron

At least I get to see some action while fighting through draugrs and blobs

[vocal rivet]

You are very much in a minority.

[maiden tartan]

[lunar sapphire]

Compared to mining copper, Iron is somewhat more entertaining

[maiden tartan]

^^^

[lunar sapphire]

Then there's silver which is fun to mine (imho). Work out which direction it forks out

[compact cedar]

I get loot lust mining iron lol

[maiden tartan]

Also farming iron gives you a lot of valuables to sell

Alongside iron arrows without you having to waste precious iron on them

[west mica]

Mining iron gives you all the bonemass bones that you have to keep for r e a s o n s

[maiden tartan]

I think most of the arrows are just not worth wasting ores on

It’s much easier to go to plains and kill some mosquitoes and craft arrows from that

[maiden tartan]

Especially bronze arrows

You can just bring fire arrows for elder and not waste 1 bronze for like 10(?) arrows

[west mica]

Using ore for arrows is only if you have nothing else to use that ore for

I feel if that wasnt in the game, having left over ore would feel fully pointless

[trail pelican]

bronze arrows is how you spot a baller

[maiden tartan]

I just think the arrow per ore ratio should be bigger

[empty nest]

Are bronze arrows that much better than flint?

[upbeat gust]

I dont even have to craft ore arrows bc I get a lot of them from chests

[trail pelican]

LOL, no

not IMO, I just mean in reference to what @west mica said about 'you use the ore you're literally running out of storage/no better use for for for them'

[lunar sapphire]

Until I made use of the arbalest this playthrough. I've always crafted end game bows and used wooden arrows 😄

[west mica]

Why do you disagree? If you have built absolutely everything you can with that ore and you have some left over... Apart from ammo, ores generally are used to build stuff you will only need 1 of. I guess iron is the main exception because its used in so many structural items.

[trail pelican]

no I totally agree, that's what I use the leftover for--especially blackmetal which even WITH the usefulness for chests just accumulates faster than my ability to store it

[maiden tartan]

Is the arbalest good?

[lunar sapphire]

Very much so, I've upgraded it to level 2 and it helps with shooting enemies from behind (backstab bonus 3x)
Insta kills drakes pretty much

decent damage to gjalls and seeker soldiers / seekers

[maiden tartan]

Sounds good

[west mica]

I used all my black metal to make an absurd number of chests, I actually think I have solved inventory in valheim

Watch it becomes super important for deep north now

[lunar sapphire]

Only thing to get used to is the reloading of bolts. 1 shot then reload. Running, rolling and possibly jumping resets the arbalest's reload time

[tacit crystal]

Also big knockback to keep Gjall away.

[lunar sapphire]

Good for tier 1 seekers too

Saw a 2 starred seeker earlier today for the first time. Avoided that like the plague

[west mica]

2 star seeker is a miniboss

[maiden tartan]

Ngl it would be cool to get those relic type weapons for every biome (the fire sword from ashlands for example)

Maybe if they won’t be too good stat wise you could still use them on a stand or something

[nocturne wolf]

They don’t have a coloured name though

[lunar sapphire]

you know what Heath meant 😄

[remote yoke]

eyy just found a maypole

[violet flame]

Probably been asked before but when does the call to arms update drop live?

[tacit crystal]

Seeker on 'roids.

[lunar sapphire]

too much royal jelly*

[west mica]

At least 2 or 3 weeks but probably longer apparently

[remote yoke]

not sure how fast irongate normally are but if its just now getting pushed to public test i would have to guess longer

[strange sapphire]

Just got 515 gold and 15 surtling cores from one burial chamber, best chamber haul i've ever seen

[maiden tartan]

Looking up to call to arms ngl

Hope it finally fixes slope combat

[maiden tartan]

Great haul

[maiden tartan]

Also I hope that the new equipment from the update won’t be useless

[vocal rivet]

It does and it isn't.

[maiden tartan]

Well, awesome

Muckshake being referred to as “Shocklatesmoothie” in files alongside it’s chocolatey look makes it seem tasty until you remember it’s made out of ooze

[long peak]

just playing the beta

its just so good

[merry pebble]

Not for me, no, still 20 Euro

[vast jolt]

dmn must be an asia thing

[near furnace]

[vast jolt]

the game increased like 50%

[near furnace]

adjusting to 20€ / 20$

[golden granite]

Would ya'll consider taming wolves while still pre-elder a form of cheesing the game? likewise, breaking birch with other trees to get finewood early?

[merry pebble]

If you can do it, go for it 🙂

[golden granite]

Eh, I can, me just curious to hear how people see that kind of playstyle. Is it a form of cheesing?

[blazing fulcrum]

So much good updates silk song valheim cool

[golden granite]

Had invited a player onto my server, and they sort of did this when I had mentioned I didnt want to cheese the game too much. Found pen with one wolf far away from our base. They said they released it but I stumbled on it and looks like they were trying to tame it in secret.

[trail pelican]

progression is made varying levels of "hardness" to its cap but MOST progression in Valheim ISN'T hard-capped, it's difficulty capped, i.e. "if you can survive the freezing cold and wolves biting your ass to tame them before you'd have gear from the swamps, more power to you"

[blazing fulcrum]

I see it as cheesing but is cheesing bad is the question

It’s subjective

[trail pelican]

i don't really see that as "cheesing" and believe it's subjective whether cheesing is bad, but i'd say something more like the trench and bonfire technique or the portal on top of the skull technique is cheesing to the extent there's any objective content to the definition of "cheesing"

skipping progression by cleverly finding ways to break trees you don't have tools to break or surviving taming tames earlier than intended doesn't QUITE strike me as cheese, because it still takes and rewards effort and/or risk

[blazing fulcrum]

It could be considered cheese because it’s unintentional having objects clash to get resources you don’t have access to

[quasi latch]

Now, if he was doing something like using a chair to clip into a crypt, that would most definitely be a cheese

[golden granite]

Right, thats how I lean toward as well. I had to restart my playthrough bec I had started another world before my current one. I always want things to be done together, but the first group I played with were so independent. We were pre elder then too, but two people taking a karve out on their own and having adventures, exploring new biomes...I feel like valheim is fun for me when everyone is more or less doing things together. They were like building bases in different biomes and It was so not my playstyle that I uploaded the worlds for them to enjoy. Started this new one and this person joined in from the old server.

[blazing fulcrum]

On g 🤣

[quasi latch]

The wolf thing is just plain creative. All the game mechanics are being used as intended, it's just harder due to lower progression

[trail pelican]

yeah you would definitely be like one shot (unblocked) or if not nearly by a wolf in pre-elder gear

[quasi latch]

Of course, if you want to take things slow, set that expectation ahead of time.

It really depends on the group.

[barren whale]

this sounds like you don't like way your buddies are playing the game
find new ones

[golden granite]

Yeah, I did tell everyone in advance when we started. I knew this person wanted to tame wolves early so I even told them to resist the urge until we reach that biome. They said they were releasing it and I thought they were cool but I was exploring the coast and I found the pen with a wolf stil inside... vibe feels a little down now lol

[blazing fulcrum]

I feel like you aren’t in the wrong if your upset especially if you expressed expectations beforehand I personally feel it’s common sense to not do the stuff that get you materials in a way that isn’t collectable by a character via tools if you expressed to keep progression

[blazing fulcrum]

Yeah imo just seems like bro doesn’t respect you

[golden granite]

Now I dont know if I can fully trust what this person does when Im not on...whether they are playing in the spirit of the expectations that everyone else agreed on and stuff

[maiden tartan]

I personally don’t

[blazing fulcrum]

They haven’t given you anything to tryst

[maiden tartan]

There are ways to get fine wood early without the birch method, birch method is just one of them

But what the guy did was wrong tho

[golden granite]

I mean, if you get them to breed, it makes raids a non issue for a good while

[maiden tartan]

Still takes effort to tame 2 wolves early, doesn’t it

[west mica]

One of the laws of game design is that people will play a game so efficiently they'll remove the fun from it.

[golden granite]

fr...

[blazing fulcrum]

This is subjective

[maiden tartan]

(Shipwrecks)

[blazing fulcrum]

For some efficiency is the name of the game

Doesn’t make it unfun or wrong just differing playstyles

[maiden tartan]

You know those folks who make spreadsheets for everything

[blazing fulcrum]

Yes

[maiden tartan]

Yes

[west mica]

Of course, what makes a good game and what is fun is very subjective. But the point is that people go for the easiest method over the funnest method, and one of the challenges for a dev is tying to entwine the two.

In this instance, for a lot of people the fun is in the challenge, have you ever been playing a game before and got some kind of tactic of ability that makes it easy then lost interest?

[blazing fulcrum]

I do agree Meta slaves sometimes lose track of silly experimental whimsical fun and lose sight of how fun emoting and Viking campfires can be

[west mica]

It is subjective though. I tried getting into Ark and people there will use the cheese method all the time for everything.

[maiden tartan]

It’s a shame that one of the best looking helmets in game is silver

[west mica]

I've been playing Eve for two years so, yes

[blazing fulcrum]

I wish there was vanity slots at times

[maiden tartan]

Silver helmet is peak design

Also iron leggings

[quasi latch]

They clearly don't care about you enough to respect your wishes. Tell them how you feel and see if you can find a middle ground.

[blazing fulcrum]

I like the wolf cape but that’s because I like doggies

[maiden tartan]

I think there is a mod for vanity slots on thunderstore but that’s unofficial so

[blazing fulcrum]

There is probably

[maiden tartan]

Iron leggings are so baggy and I like em

[crisp harness]

Is the taming timer still 50hrs ?

[plush umbra]

it was always 30 minutes

there are just myriad ways to unintentionally interrupt it, resulting in it taking much longer

[crisp harness]

gonna have to redownload the mod that reduces the timer, 30 minutes staying in the vicinity but not going to far is stupid long

[smoky quarry]

should visit my pig farm, been a long time..

[trail pelican]

at least now we got a potion to reduce it

[golden granite]

Yeah they did technically release one since there were two pens withone open, but it looked like they wanted to keep the other one on standby for when we eventually get to mountain biome. That's not too bad but I just feel kind weird that they didn't tell me that and i stumbled upon it on my own..

[crisp harness]

what you talking about ?

[trail pelican]

the bog witch animal whispers or whatever it's called potion

[crisp harness]

for the taming process ?

[trail pelican]

increases taming speed

ye

[crisp harness]

yeah but by the time I get to her and get the potion, I won't need boars anymore haha

[trail pelican]

that is true, TIMING wise it's maybe less than ideal--CERTAINLY for boars lol

[west mica]

Leather scraps are used for a lot of things

[trail pelican]

still you may also need/want to go BACK and tame a 2 star

[crisp harness]

think I'll just download the reduced taming time mod, that one is amazing

[supple holly]

yeah..one backstabbed me to death when I finally though I got all the mobs..Before my lights went out I though where the heck he came from..

[maiden tartan]

How do you folks think we’ll be avoiding the cold in the north

It would be cool if we could get some Ashlands rock and use it as a heating stone

(Like the heating stone from don’t starve!)

[maiden tartan]

Perhaps you’ll have to throw it near campfires to charge it up

There will definitely be some armor sets that resist the cold but we’ll need to grind for them in the north

[bleak laurel]

Hello, I wanted to ask something about the game. I am playing Valheim with a friend on steam. Say I upgraded my crude bow to level 3 on a workbench, will the upgrade levels also apply to my friend's bow? If not, if I drop my bow and he picks it up will it be level 3?

[maiden tartan]

You only upgrade individual pieces of equipment and if you drop your upgraded equipment to someone else it will still have the upgrades

[bleak laurel]

So the upgrades are tied to the character and not the server or the workbench?

[maiden tartan]

Tied to an item

If you upgrade a certain bow to level 3 only this copy of the bow will have the upgrade

[bleak laurel]

Yeah I mean if I bring this character to some other world will that particular bow always be atleast level 3?

[maiden tartan]

It will stay that way, yes

[bleak laurel]

okay, thanks

[quasi latch]

Yes, because you're carrying the item that has the level 3 attribute.

[maiden tartan]

[vital umbra]

oooohh in freebuild i can fully upgrade flametal magic weapons

[crisp harness]

Is magic still only a LATE GAME thing ? And if so, do they plan to change any of that? Because it seems like a dumb thing to have a whole class locked behind dozens of hours of gameplay. What if I want to be a mage since the start as a class ?

[merry pebble]

Yes, not as far as we are aware, no it isnt, you wont even know there is that class as a new player.

[crisp harness]

I guess if you're roleplaying a 1999 gamer that doesn't use the internet at all so he goes in totally blind. But I know there's magic, and it kinda sucks I can't wizard my a## off haha

[azure yacht]

The most op playstyle in the game should remain in late game

Everything in mistlands and above is balanced around level 0 magic

[vocal rivet]

Late mid, really.

[merry pebble]

Late mid or early endgame, depends how you classify it 😄

[crisp harness]

that's why you make different stages, same as with armor and weapons

[vocal rivet]

And lots of people prefer to go in blind so we try and avoid spoilers here.

[vital umbra]

are there like any commands to spawn a tree

[vocal rivet]

Spawn will spawn most things in.

[vital umbra]

i figured it out i had to add a 1 😩

[azure yacht]

That's literally why I said it should remain at late game...

[buoyant panther]

Ashlands question. Are the Blunt and Poison damage numbers listed for the ||Staff of the Wilds (e.g. 20 blunt/20 poison for lvl 1) only for the initial hit? And so there's more dealt by the vines?||

[vital umbra]

i too would like earlier game magic

[vocal rivet]

That would for sure ruin a lot of the mystique of Mistlands.

[azure yacht]

and combat balance

especially combat balance

[vital umbra]

its not rocket science, hundreds of games have implemented magic at the beginning of the gameplay loop with it even feeling weak 🧙‍♂️

[crisp harness]

But some people (me for example) would like to play different classes from the start. Like for example when you start an elder scrolls game or even enshrouded it doesn't say "TOO BAD, YOU GET THIS CLASS AT HOUR 150 .... SORRY NOT SORRY "

[vital umbra]

enshrouded is a good one

[vital umbra]

unfortunate how the devs did that to themselves innit 😅

[vocal rivet]

Lots of games aren't Valheim.

[azure yacht]

both enshrouded and elder scrolls are also different types of games, designed differently

[vital umbra]

it can be mystical in all kinds of other ways but people like magic

[vocal rivet]

Did what?

[vital umbra]

Confine a playstyle

[vocal rivet]

They didn't.

I've never seen sarcasm so brutally missed.

[azure yacht]

because you haven't seen people missing mine clearly

[vital umbra]

Each to their own, i'm just going to mod in magic to earlier gameplay after 1.0 if its not added lol 🤷

lifesavers they are

[azure yacht]

idk why telling us but k

[vital umbra]

to wrap up this discussion 🫨

also as a callout to others who feel the same as me, remember mods exist

[crisp harness]

yeah I have about 10-ish mods all quality of life though, don't like to change the game in a substantial way

[tacit crystal]

The stats list only the projectile damage which can be increased by upgrading the staff, but vines deal damage based on elemental magic skill level, not by upgrades. So it isn't necessary to upgrade if one relies on the vines deal damage.

[rotund tundra]

Why is the roof system so complicated

Roof fall apart

[heady parcel]

Point is the way magic is introduced is cleverly designed and very much a part of what makes Mistlands, well, Mistlands. Beyond the lore implications, retro-fitting eitr stuff and low level magic staves into earlier biomes would cause an incredible balancing mess, it would basically require a total review of the entire gear progression. So let early game magic stay in the realm of mods please.

[vital umbra]

uh huh

[near furnace]

please stop

[vital umbra]

thats an itch i have to scratch, so i might invest in them soon to experiment

i am just trying to talk brutha

[fading falcon]

Hey all, quick question.
Is anyone currently running a modded server through a hosting website? And if so, which site?
G-Portal, my usual go-to, broke their server-side install of BepInEx and hasn't fixed it for like 2 weeks now and I'm out of patience lol.

I did manage to fix it through FTP for a time, but a recent restart of the server broke it again and I can't seem to get it working again :/

[merry pebble]

Folks in #mods-discussion , #mods-issues or maybe #dedicated-server might be able to help you 🤔

[fading falcon]

My bad, didn't see those tabs. I'll ask there, ty 🙂

[marsh oracle]

Is there an active server?

[near furnace]

#1024264966712340510 here

[merry pebble]

For sure some in #1024264966712340510 😄

[marsh oracle]

So far nothing is popping up for what my group is looking for

[vital umbra]

just host your own on steam?

[strong stirrup]

mmhh just watched a vid abt the new ptb, top comment is about inv space fucking hell

[west mica]

Is there a specific pattern to why daytime mobs retake their positions sometimes when you go back through a portal, but sometimes they arent there anymore? This is solo so that area wouldnt have been loaded in in between

[strong stirrup]

im so done with these people not understanding that its a part of the game

[astral moth]

when will ptb full release i meant.

[near furnace]

we haven't said when

[weary egret]

just dont carry a stack of every potion 5head

and 3 stacks of food

[astral moth]

ok

[merry pebble]

When all found issues and bugs are dealt with and devs are happy with it 🙂

[weary egret]

only take one weapon out aswell

[strong stirrup]

fr, and theyre like "oh no half of my inv is used for stuff" thats still half an inventory for other stuff

[merry pebble]

Those you can get away with easily 😄 but half inventory of potions is just weird

[west mica]

I eat my food before I go out because I too like to live dangerously

Frees up space

[merry pebble]

I like to have some on me, even tho i would probably not need it just because its convinient 🙂

[weary egret]

jump pot, running pot, stamina pot, hp pots, fire resist pot and eityr if im playing caster, its my potion loadout usually for running through ashlands

[weary egret]

yeah that

[merry pebble]

Ugh... too much imo. But that might just be me generally not using many meads and potions 😄
-# Rich comming from a guy taking cultivator everywhere, i know, but still xD

[vital umbra]

broo a physique and/or height slider would be amazing

[west mica]

I feel if we had that everyone would be 5ft2 for the reduced hitbox lol

[near furnace]

yup. 100%

[vital umbra]

maybe height less so then, unless its a slight variation of like a couple inches either way

[near furnace]

the armors aren't adjustable in the game tho

[trail pelican]

we could do a lot to buff inventory without going crazy adding whole slots by adding items that take up a slot, but then let you group items of a similar "kind" that often are carried together/as alternatives into some number of slots it adds--for example, have like a "potion bandolier" or something, that takes up a slot but then carries 3, or whatever, potions

[west mica]

I really like the wow style character creator. Lets to jump into the action so much sooner... I get people are into character creators though.

[vital umbra]

i've seen it elsewhere, it is finnicky, the bloodline is an example i can use, you can alter the size of all your body parts and the armor and clothing models just kinda stretch to it

[near furnace]

our clothes system wouldn't work well for it at all TBH

[vernal karma]

is there a lot more to this new patch then combat system and 2 new monsters? don't want it spoiled so please dont detail, i just saw the teaser.

[merry pebble]

Yep there is more 😄

#news message You can look here, if you dont click "show spoilers" there are only abbreviated patchnotes without too many spoilers

[west mica]

Holy crap I wasnt expecting the stone portal to be so big... it looks like the space travel machine from Contact

I can see me building a whole stargate-esque dig site to house it

[steep horizon]

Hey ladies and gents!! Haven't played in a hot minute, thinking of getting back into it, have they made any graphics changes or is there any changes worth trying??

[nocturne wolf]

There’s a new update currently in public testing, the stable release of that will be a perfect time to start.

[merry pebble]

How long is it since you last played? 🙂

[azure yacht]

no

yes

[steep horizon]

June 2024 lol

[merry pebble]

Ah, so you did Ashlands 😄 since then we got new merchant with LOADS of new stuff and currently, as Blob said, there is new update in testing right now also with lots of new things.

[steep horizon]

awesome I'll have to give it a go then!!! Thanks guys/gals!

[wild temple]

Hey I just started thinking about coeming back I quit back in 2021 ish only played till the praise boss u think I’d be able to jump back in and go to the ash lands starting over not relenting shit lol

[merry pebble]

It would be better to start over just so you get into the gameplay loop again and rekindle good habits 🙂 from plains onwards the game can be pretty unforgiving.

[wild temple]

Shiddddd lol

[turbid anchor]

is there a way to change the weather trhu console commands

[vocal rivet]

env will do it.

[turbid anchor]

that means nothing to me lmfao

[vocal rivet]

You asked for a command that can change the weather, env is the command you wanted.

[turbid anchor]

ok that is more helpful, saying "env will do it" doesnt mean shit lmfao

[vocal rivet]

My apologies, I would have thought that context would have suggested I was naming a command but never mind.

[turbid anchor]

im pretty new to the game, ig i could have started with that

[fallow solstice]

I'm bout to bearst 😩

[livid widget]

Did they make Ashlands better? Ashlands killed it for me.

[azure yacht]

#news

#valheim-patchnotes

[livid widget]

It never occured to me to go sift through months of patch notes and news

[vocal rivet]

Just one.

[azure yacht]

and even still...

[hearty niche]

I've built wolf crypt-vaults complete with "Break Glass in Case of Emergency" signs with a hammer mounted on the wall. I wanted to ensure they could survive troll (use lots of stone), bat (seal all potential holes), and blob (use very thick walls) attacks. I like what they did with the Askvin eggs.

[queen olive]

nah ion think they changed ashlands much if at all

[hearty niche]

I suppose that depends on what would make it better?

[queen olive]

i just went thru the patch notes on steam

[hearty niche]

I found it challenging and really enjoyed the siege aspect.

The stories I read here of Normandy-esque landings of folks hitting the beachhead and getting mowed down were fun.

[queen olive]

maybe make it so that not every mob in a 10km radius comes to kill you if you smack a tree once 😭

[hearty niche]

I kinda liked that part. Were I making the Valheim progression, I would have made swapped Mistlands and Plains and I would have made Plains more like Ashlands as far as enemy density.

Which would make the escalation in Ashlands more of a step than a jump, I guess.
