I just wish the sledges had a regular primary attack pattern and the "me smash" thing was the secondary.

candid basalt
#

I love smashing fuling towers into dust with it

heady parcel
#

It is fun to smash things, ngl. It would be more fun to carry around if it was more viable in regular combat, it is very situational as is

candid basalt
#

Fair assessment

fossil delta
#

Its great for creating space in the Ashlands.

IE Demolisher.

if im renting as server from a 3rd party such as bisect, whats the reccommended size for no mods, and 3 players total? i was thinking 8GB?

# fossil delta Its great for creating space in the Ashlands.

Very true - but it is terrible at dealing consistent damage, so outside of group scenarios where one guy smashes and another/others deal the damage, it is not a practical weapon to "main". Which is why I'd like a primary attack combo, so I could carry it exclusively. 🙂

I died, I dont even know what to because it was behind some rag but it set me on fire lol

candid basalt
fossil delta
#

Yeah, I ran into 5 of them last night. It did not end well for me.

hasty geyser
#

Yeah my root harnesk was not helping me against that fire I dont think

fossil delta
#

It makes you weak against it, so no, it does not help you.

hasty geyser
#

I'll take an iron chest with me and try again

fossil delta
#

Blocking with your shield seems to help a lot,. Just if you end up with 5 of them, hitting you from all directions, well, you can't block them all.

hasty geyser
#

Yeah it was in a small hallway and I couldnt see so i wasnt prepared for that lol

fossil delta
#

Your root armor hurt you the most, but yeah, being prepared helps a lot as well.

candid basalt

I throw ooze bombs into those hallways

there were 2 on my body but luckily a finewood bow with wood arrows was enough

it's stacking DoT, most of the damage from that attack is felt after the animation is already over

Dodge and throw hands

Why is this so scary 😭

candid basalt
fossil delta

#

if there's no sound of something hitting your shield, it's not affected by your block armor

nocturne wolf
#

Yes, but they block the same way as anything else

candid basalt
#

Only defense is fire resist or move out of way

nocturne wolf
fossil delta
#

Well,, I take a lot less damager for some reason, when I have my shield up. I don't worry about cultists when they are just in front of me.

candid basalt
#

Either way, dodge, dive, duck, dip, and dodge

nocturne wolf
#

Are you trying to block it every time so you don't have unblocked damage to compare it to?

candid basalt
#

If you can dodge a cultist, you can dodge a troll

fossil delta
#

I do not dodge, or parry, I just block when I need to.

fossil delta

#

Well i mananged to get my stuff back and some new materials so im okay

So I am always blocking when not attacking.

# zenith mist any tips to fin haldor?

follow black forest shores, thorough exploration of forests isn't required since he's automatically marked on your map as soon as his chunk is generated, so it's a pretty big radius

candid basalt
#

A seeker spawned right next to my workbench. wtf

burnt glen
# zenith mist any tips to fin haldor?

I would sail around the coast of black forests and keep checking your map for an icon indicating that he's nearby. but I'm glad you''re having fun in the Mistlands.

glossy heath
#

there are 10 possible locations per world, all in black forest biomes, whichever one you get close enough to first is where he spawns and stays forever, the remaining 9 are deleted

Just tougher creatures.

yea valid

#

yo

#

there is a lot of mistlands ahead of me and like stones huge ones

#

i cant go ahead can i

fossil delta
#

I wouldn't. Mistlands has a couple of fliers.

zenith mist
#

and i found the bog witch near here

#

where should haldor be>?

fossil delta
#

He is usually close to the other vendors for me, but not always. I've found him off by his lonesome as well.

tacit crystal
#

As black forest can reach up to the right and left edge of the world.

zenith mist
#

suppose i found the bog witch in the bottom og the map

#

and there are like these black stones everywhere

fossil delta
zenith mist
#

bruh more mistlands great

tacit crystal
fossil delta
glossy heath
#

yes

#

which means they're easier to find on average since black forest is the most prominent land biome

fossil delta
#

I do find them before Haldor most play throughs. Found him first on the last two.

zenith mist
#

how close do u have to be for haldor to appear

tacit crystal
fossil delta
#

Still far enough that it makes running islands worth while, versus only sailing around them.

zenith mist
#

so just sailing on the coast wont find him?

fossil delta
#

Most islands aren't that big, but enough are.

fossil delta
#

Like I said above, some of those islands can be very big, and he is not always close to the coast line.

glossy heath
#

islands tend to be pretty narrow and long, so you can generate most of an island by just following the shore

fossil delta
#

Right, just he can also be on the exceptions. Far enough inland.

glossy heath
#

just saying it's very unlikely for all or most possible locations to be out of reach of the coast, so it's usually a waste of time to walk inland, might as well just find a new black forest to sail by

fossil delta
#

I enjoy exploring, so run the islands anyways.

glossy heath
#

that's completely fair

zenith mist
#

why is there a bonfire and campfires along the coast and it says plains

glossy heath
#

danger, that's why

candid basalt

Watch out for mosquitos

and it is officially day 4 in valhiem of me exploring

#

i hate exploring

#

i need to take a break to eat

#

i almost always find haldor right next to the elder's altar

#

that's definitely not intended to be a thing though

My last two times the altars were further out than Haldor.

Do you guys usually pick a particular weapon type and mostly use that?

#

two-handed swords are fine, slightly more original

abstract warren
polar mulch
#

I started with spear tho

glossy heath
#

my spite for swords grew with the mistlands update though, since that update removed multi-target penalty from 1h swords but no other one-handed weapon and even though it was never reverted, i'm still pretty certain that was an accident and a completely unnecessary buff

fossil delta
#

Any weapon works at least "OK". So its rarely a bad idea to just use what you like the most for whatever reasons.

polar mulch
#

I just use them because I wanna live out my Zelda fantasy

tacit crystal
#

I like switching weapon types in different playthroughs, but I prefer mainly 2h weapons. Battleaxes and knives have been fun in my latest run with my group.

I used the stagbreaker one for prospecting that's it

zenith mist

what prospecting

polar mulch
#

Bonking the ground to find recourses

#

Or breaking berried chests

glossy heath
#

an exploit, but a funny one (i use it too sometimes)

fossil delta
polar mulch
#

Sword can do multi target so I'm fine

#

I have a grave thingy right next to my base so it was useful

#

I told my friend not to break the stone until we found all the chests

tacit crystal
zenith mist
#

explain a lil pls im lost

tacit crystal
glossy heath
#

sledges deal aoe damage in a pretty wide radius around where you hit, which can damage even stuff below the ground.
if that something happens to be a silver vein in the mountains, you'll see "too hard" instead of "0" since the stagbreaker's tool tier is below iron.
this trick iirc does not work as well with the iron sledge since its tool tier is high enough to return "0" instead of "too hard", so you won't know for sure if what you damaged was silver or something else

zenith mist
#

ahh kk

glossy heath
#

haven't tested it with any other sledges, and i'm not 100% certain i'm remembering the iron sledge right either, but i remember being pretty surprised by that 😅

#

what are these locations

tacit crystal

zenith mist
#

on the map like howling caverns

#

sealed towers

glossy heath
#

those are hildir's special dungeons, which were marked when you interacted with the table in front of hildir

zenith mist
#

are they tough to beat

glossy heath
#

tougher than the rest of their respective biomes at least

zenith mist
#

im in iron armour so what dungeons can i do

glossy heath
#

the (main) reward is a chest you can bring back to hildir to expand her shop's stock

tacit crystal
zenith mist
#

what are those dungeons call

#

the black forest ones

glossy heath
#

smoldering tomb was it? i can't remember, something like that

#

either way, come to think of it, that should at least point out some black forests you've not touched yet

Hey guys what staff do you guys mostly use for mage atm I havent unlocked any new one other than that fracturing one in ashlands, my level 3 frost staff doesnt feel like it does much on like warriors and some other mobs.

nocturne wolf
glossy heath
#

they're definitely intended to, judging by the fact that the texture is called olivetree_trunk01_infested.png and the poi is InfestedTree01

#

what has me intrigued is the fact that that feature seems to still be a thing, only an extremely rare one

#

if it was simply broken and never worked, i wouldn't be surprised, but i've definitely seen it in-game a handful of times, that's why i went looking for the texture in the first place

tacit crystal
#

After progressing some fortresses you can get materials for more staff options.

#

never seen red guck

glossy heath
glossy heath
#

spawned one with the location command and this one does have red veins on it

near furnace
#

ah

#

yeah, don't think that one is "canon" 🤔

nocturne wolf
glossy heath
#

the thing is, it's the same poi as the ones that naturally generate, InfestedTree01

#

and here are those naturally generating InfestedTree01s, without their red veins, i'm so curious about what's causing that

edit: if i teleport directly to an (ungenerated) infested tree, it has red veins, but if i approach them at more normal speeds, no veins are present, it's so strange.
edit 2: guck trees that have veins because they were spawned or generated via teleportation seem to permanently lose those veins as soon as their chunk is unloaded.

that being said the bosses aren't exactly valheims strong point

#

the ones before yag are kinda atrocious and the remaining 3... well, at least they arent a straight up detriment

barren whale
#

ashlands boss could do with not spamming the attack that does nothing but zone you out
melee is jank enough as it is

tacit crystal
#

I don't find much problems with melee against him.

nocturne wolf
#

If you move correctly the attack isn't too much of an issue, and if you stay close he's less likely to use it because he may use a melee attack instead

barren whale
#

i agree insofar as preferring melee against him
its still jank, particularly in group settings
manipulating his attack pacing so that the area immediately around him isn't permanently on fire is very artificial

nocturne wolf
#

what about melee feels jank?

barren whale
#

it would make a lot more sense for the attack to be used to punish those staying at range, and staying close to him to explicitly prevent him from using it

tacit crystal
#

Haven't fought him with my group, should be interesting. honkfire SmilingNeck

deft blaze
nocturne wolf
# glossy heath and here are those naturally generating InfestedTree01s, without their red veins...

I think the problem is that there are two objects both called SwampTree2, the infested and normal versions. This means the infested versions are reloaded as normal versions, and the guck sacks remain because they are separate objects. I just don't know how the trees get reloaded when approached from a distance when other issues like this (Haldor's bear rug) still happen without moving away from them first.

glossy heath
#

that sounds like it, but yea still confusing (and does not smell intentional to me)

tacit crystal
glossy heath
#

the guck trees we have already are infested trees

barren whale
# nocturne wolf what about melee feels jank?

he can summon flames under him so that you are just walking around for the next 30 seconds waiting for flames to expire
this occurs because the attack spawns under you
so the strategy is to back far off when you predict he is about to initiate that attack
or make him walk out of the denied zone
this is pretty jank especially when ranged users only need to walk around in a random direction to avoid any punish

you can also get temporarily stuck under his head hitbox lmfao but that is a much smaller issue

nocturne wolf
#

it's not intentional but it should be fairly easy to fix by giving the infested trees a different name ThinkingTroll

#

He plays a short animation before the flames actually start, plenty of time to step back if you're not moving at growth speed

#

getting stuck under the head during that animation has nearly got me killed multiple times though

barren whale
#

it's a certainly cool concept for a boss fight, but i feel like the execution is botched
especially when he spams the attack >50% of the time when a newbie group doesn't understand how the attack works or how to mitigate it

nocturne wolf
#

I'd make the cooldown a little longer but also make it a prioritised attack so getting him to use other attacks doesn't bring RNG into how long he waits

#

I think it's good he can use it when players are close, rangers and mages are barely affected by it anyway

barren whale
#

yeah avoiding damage is very easy, but the problem is the lingering flames deny you from walking back into what should be a wide open DPS window for melee

so instead you are stuck watching or spamming frost arrows/magic/harpoon to refresh adrenaline, which feels like a waste of time

nocturne wolf
barren whale
#

lmfao that's an inventory slot i don't wanna spend

barren whale
#

it also shouldn't immediately delete his own summons lmfao that's just goofy

nocturne wolf
#

If you get him into water it takes off his fire immunity so he hurts himself

#

The attack doesn’t have friendly fire enabled but it hurts everything because the aoe instances don’t get an owner assigned properly, so they can hurt fader.

#

If you bring him to deep north it might be the fastest way of killing the boss there but we don’t know until we see the boss, it might be inside a dungeon or immune to fire and spirit.

barren whale
#

hmm interesting
i haven't seen a spawn near water but that's pretty funny

nocturne wolf
#

that's also probably why he's immune to spririt despite being visibly undead

barren whale
#

ugh
yea that's pretty jank, i assume it was a technical limitation since the attack is already a huge lag contributor

#

i wonder why it's so important for it to deal spirit damage

nocturne wolf
barren whale
#

maybe it's meant to pop bubbles faster lmfao
spirit is somtimes used for anti-bubble in modded content

nocturne wolf
#

should've put pure damage on it to kill players through their bubble

barren whale
#

depends on how much they're angling for vanilla compatibility but yeah lmaoo
i think some fader meteors actually do true damage

nocturne wolf
#

they don't but his spawn aoe does

barren whale
#

ohh that must be it

nocturne wolf
#

300 pure damage 300 fire damage 100 spirit damage (even though he hasn't spawned anything yet??) 300 chop damage 300 pickaxe damage

barren whale
#

yea that's familiar Ragnar_laugh
it also fucking launches creatures with direct hit which is pretty funny

nocturne wolf
#

I wish more attacks used that feature froggi

barren whale
#

right?? would be so fun

nocturne wolf
#

valkyrie spin should do less damage but launch players like this

barren whale
#

morgen buttslam

nocturne wolf
#

and with the friendly fire it could launch a marksman into the air for a trickshot

barren whale
#

I recommend putting a few fireplaces around the edge of a fortress before you consider a raid to prevent things inside despawning. Sometimes even lavafall can wreck a chest inside before you have a chance to break inside.

Hi everyone. I was looking at some valheim gameplay and it looks pretty fun, however before I buy it I’d like to know if anyone is interested in playing together and having fun because I don’t know the game, but what I do know is that I usually get demotivated when playing games alone for a while. Anyone in?

what you guys would consider as an explotis ?

using Sledgehammer to find silver and iron ?

using the chair bug to enter swamp without the key ?

cheesing enemies/bosses ai to stay in campfire/bonfire to kill them with almost no gear ?

#

i am just curios to know

#

if there is other things that you consider as exploits that isn't mentioned i'd like to know too

light moat
#

Personally, I don’t see too much of a difference between exploits and cheesing, but or me exploits tend to lean into taking advantage of video-gamey things, like clipping through the gates to get into crypts.

Where using campfires to kill Elder feels like cheese to me, since technically the campfire is working as intended, but just to an absurd level.

#

Building over a fortress wall in the Ashlands feels like cheese to me 🤔

#

Sledgehammer to discover silver feels like an exploit to me, since you’re relying on damage data to appear to indicate where something hidden is.

Bought my 5070ti back in the summer, just as the prices had started normalising from the launch rush, and also upgraded my RAM to 64gb around the same time! Really glad I did now😁

everyone is talking about prices going up this year too, I might buy an L4 for my server while its under 2k 😩 🥴

timber marsh
#

Or just eat the cost difference. I won't be upgrading this PC again because it's ddr4

icy nimbus
#

Went from an 8GB 3070 to a 16gb 5070ti... The difference for me is like night and day! Don't get me wrong, I was already getting pretty good FPS on most games, but with only 8GB of VRAM, it was starting to struggle with some of the more modern games. Most of my GPU upgrades have usually been a generation or 2 behind the curve, so I have a GTX 1070 when the 2000 series was coming out... 2070 when the 4000 series was coming out! So a 5070ti was certainly a big step to get a current gen GPU!!!!

How do I kill the damn queen? I can't melee it. My weapons broke. Crossbow takes forever. Only thing I've noticed is it takes heavy magic damage. My main is aoe weapons, the lightning atgeir and the demolisher. Might have to try the mistwalker and the shield

It's not that we're trying to be smart-assed in our answers, but this is literally all we know. "It will not be this year" (when it was 2025) and there is no definitive (or even ballpark) estimate

tacit crystal
# snow aurora How do I kill the damn queen? I can't melee it. My weapons broke. Crossbow takes...

Melee is usually my way against her, Krom/Mistwalker deal lots of damage. Between her melee attacks you can perform secondary attack with either sword to deal higher damage stamina efficiently. Demolisher/Himminafl/Bilebombs are good AoE options for clearing her swarms.
If wanting ranged backup, frost arrows deal more damage than any full pierce arrows due to her pierce resistance. Draugr Fang is also good for 3 reasons: it uses less stamina than Spinesnap, there is not significant difference due to the pierce resistance and poison damage helps spot her easier among the mist.
Full mageplay is easier as you can keep your distance from her, shield yourself with bubble and weave them fireballs at her and her swarms.

#

Few times I used Skol & Hati against her, those are surprisingly nice despite the pierce resistance.

snow aurora
#

I see

#

Thanks

tacit crystal
# snow aurora I see

Utility vise you'll benefit a lot with poison res mead, lingering stamina meads, Ratatosk tonic and major hp meads.
Also consider this trick: if you fight on top of the citadel and if you're in trouble, you can jump off and glide with feather cape, optionally enjoying tasty mead for quick stamina recovery which stacks with lingering stamina and have a small breather from her as she needs to climb down at you.

Specifically for the queen

probably Eikthyr's or bonemass

Moder could also be useful now for the movespeed increase

merry pebble
#

Eik, Bonemass and Yag too

tacit crystal

Bonemass still useful even after the resistances got nerfed to slight resistances.

snow aurora
#

With moder's on and a crossbow I was walking up and down the stairs for 10 whole minutes only to do like 10% of it's healthbar. It's not even worth engaging with the seekers it summons

Arbalest being full pierce damage and slower to use is not ideal weapon against her.

Few questions. Have they changed the default ore drop rates? I think every ore but the post swamp ores have an extremely low drop rate and I don’t like not being able to set individual multipliers.

Are there plans to flesh out the magic system? I still feel like the magic stuff was shoehorned in since it was added into such a late area and kinda invalidates skills from previous areas. I feel like it’s out of place or should have been introduced earlier.

Ngl, I wish there were more ways to mitigate the threat level of every biome after like...the swamp.

It's such a chore to try to build in those places, with the constant spawning of stuff like drakes and morgens lol

Like I don't want to nullify the threats right away or anything, but something to limit the number of fuckin dragons constantly attacking me would be nice.
Just wanna build a nice castle :(

arctic garnet
#

Some places can look nice but be bothersome to build in because it turns out they have particularly dense enemy spawns. Best thing to do is note where enemies are spawning and put a campfire over them to stop those spawns.

#

I like to build rings of watchtowers with workbenches up inside them, so you can visually see the radius they're covering.

Then you can utilize the watchtowers for defense, and the workbenches to repair things if you need.

# worn lake would be nice if they add horse to 1.0 no?

I used to think so but honestly no. I read smiffe's arguments against it and there were some great points. Regardless most biomes just don't really work for mounts and the games scale is really centered on normal running. + enemy balance, mount combat, etc

worn lake
#

yea but any form of mount would be cool we have the big thingy on plains but its just too big and cant be transported

#

running is a pain long term ngl its fun early on but will quickly drag on

maybe a small animal to compensate for terrains?

#

Smiffe said himself that the most requested "new feature" is a horse. Which to me makes zero sense becaues we already have two mounts in the game, both of which could be made capable of carrying the cart. So effectively the most requested feature is a reskin of a feature we already have lol

dark coyote
#

a boar mount

#

fast boi

supple bear
#

If gamers are really that easy to please I took the wrong career path

#

It would be nice to have a good use for the cart though. As it currently stands I never even use it

forest jacinth
#

The only way id want an all terrain mount is if the saddle is crafted from the final boss drop

supple bear
#

If the devs keep with tradition making biomes as annoying as possible under the guise of it being difficult I wouldnt be surprised if what we get is similar to the frigid outskirts in DS2

dark coyote

#

I mean sure you can use them doesn't mean it's worth doing it lol

#

Technically you can get stone portals without killing a single boss

soft goblet

Not sure if I should ask in the building discussion chat instead but do y'all have name suggestions for an inn and tavern?

I might just go with Inn at the Crossroads as a Game of Thrones shout but would also like something more original

steel mica
#

Pre-building your base takes so much time but man is it worth it

fossil delta
#

You could name them after things within the game itself. Such as the "Inn of Yagluth's End", etc...

supple bear
#

Meanwhile i just live in a 5x5 shack with everything clipping and stacked on top of each other

#

Back in the day you could get away with a 3x3 shack but they added so much more manditory crap to the game

steel mica
supple bear
#

Not much point building something pretty

#

If you aren't moving your base to each new biome you're just wasting your own time unless you have stone portals

#

Imagine wasting 20-30 minutes sailing on a boat just to bring resources back to your base

steel mica
#

There are pros and cons for bases

supple bear
#

My last run was on rather insane speedrunning seed though so I was able to plop my base between a swamp, mountain, and plains full of stuff i needed

steel mica
#

The obvious one is it takes a while to get things down

supple bear
#

Its insane how much time you save even casually not sailing

steel mica
#

The pro is having everything in one centralized area

supple bear
#

I actually took a screenshot of all the stuff you need to make everything you need/fully upgrade it structure wise

#

i was blown away to be honest

#

Back when all you really needed un teleportable material for was forge upgrades

#

Now days you need 32 Copper, 14 tin, 15 bronze, 88 iron (lol), 2 silver, 30 black metal, and 14 flametal

#

oh and about 200 iron nails, which is another 20 iron bars (lol)

steel mica
supple bear
#

the padded armor set is actually the only armor set in the game i upgrade so i definately eat through iron

#

padded set will carry you well into ashlands

steel mica
#

What about fenris?

#

for speed

supple bear
#

Never really bothered with it because I naked explore

#

especially in ashlans

#

I did a reverse boss order run on a fixed seed (a truly godly seed at that) and it still took me like 40 hours.

steel mica
#

I could see myself using fenris all the way to mistlands

deft blaze
#

I guess catapult legs going down can 1-shot you without food. What a way to finally die

#

Just checking out the new thing I got to make

supple bear
#

You can use fenris all the way to end game if you want

#

I did a run where i only used troll hide/fenris

steel mica
#

too many enemies

supple bear
#

A lot of those enemies are one time spawns

slate flume
#

Just jumped from 60 to 144hz monitor and got new headphones, I'm ready for Valhalla

supple bear
#

The funny part is the human eye doesn't really discern anything after 60fps

#

the limit for indivudal frame recognition in 90% of humans is 60 fps

slate flume
#

There's still a lot of difference when it comes to gaming tho

supple bear
#

In a racing game maybe

#

Doubling your FPS will shave like 1/10th of a second off your time

slate flume
supple bear
#

Ok

neon nebula
#

in that sense it makes difference

supple bear
#

correct which is why if you have a 60hz monitor using anything above 60fps is pointless

neon nebula
#

^

supple bear
#

but that doesn't change anything about what i said

neon nebula
#

unless u play tf2, eeg, cs2 etc

supple bear
#

The human eye has a limit

#

Its biological

steel mica
#

I can barly get above 100 fps at max settings valheim

neon nebula
#

also subjectiv. an osu player will notice it far more than an average person for example

slate flume
#

It's still better to have 144hz one than 60 when it comes to gaming and few other stuff, it's pretty big jump for me and I'm gonna enjoy it lol

supple bear
#

It definately varies by person

neon nebula
#

not trying to attack you on this btw. just wanted to make sure the difference is known

supple bear
#

Like said individual frame recognition is around 60 Hz for the overwhelming vast majority of human beings

neon nebula
#

^ facts

supple bear
#

im so old i can barely tell the difference between 30 and 60 fps anymore lol

#

makes going back and playing dark souls 1 more enjoyable

neon nebula
#

haha thats true. tho since my default is 240hz im kinda fucked when i use a different refresh rate

#

feels really awkward for the first minutes

supple bear
#

Stuff like that is mostly just marketing to get you to spend more money

#

The amount of people who get legit tell the difference between 60hz and 120hz is very small. Like I said it's a biological thing. Same occurs with delay. Very few people can actually hear or "feel" a delay less than 10ms

#

Even professional drummers of 30 years

#

Since Valheim has Ps2 level graphics though does stuff like that even really help anyway. I mean i know you can lag your system if you build like to scale replicas of helms deep but thats not the average player

steel mica
#

I love adding uneccesary amounts of depth on my build

supple bear
#

And theres nothing wrong what doing what you enjoy

steel mica
#

Im going insane with this one house lol

supple bear
#

I mean in a survival game that lacks PvP...... building is the only real endgame unless you want to start over and do it again

#

I just start over and do it again lol.

steel mica
#

This is my second playthrough

#

And my goal is to build bases on every biome

supple bear
#

Im on like my 30th or 40th at this point

#

Ive slown down a lot the past 2 years or so though, whenver ashlands came out

#

I still love the experience up to the plains but mistlands and ashlands just feel terrible to me. Not hard, just annoying.

#

i can solo a valk naked with my fists, the problem isnt the enemies

steel mica
#

Ashlands, just being ashlands lol

#

Actually no its a warzone

supple bear
#

Post nerf mistlands just feels so dead

#

unless you're near a POI you're likely not to see anything but hares and a rare soldier

steel mica
supple bear
#

its almost as peaceful as the meadows

steel mica
#

I wasnt a valheim player till like mistlands fully released

supple bear
#

Similar to Ashlands PTR the enemy spawns were a lot higher

#

They will probably nerf the spawn rates in deep north too after enough people complain

#

Valheim uses enemy swarms as a difficulty slider basically

#

1v1 most enemies in this game arent even remotely a threat

#

hell half of them use the same animations and move set

steel mica
#

JUST because of the seeker

#

They fly

#

And the occasional Gjall

supple bear
#

that just makes them easier to kill

#

They only fly at you if you're far away from them, they closing the gap for you

#

and its an easy parry

steel mica
#

1 wrong parry and back to the bed you go lol

supple bear
#

Also if you didnt know the root harness invalidates mistlands pretty hard

#

its kind of funny

#

plains too honsetly

steel mica
steel mica
#

But majority of the player base do lol

supple bear
#

what makes seekers feel so bad for you is probably the elevation of the mistlands

#

in almost all situations you're fighting on an incline in the mistlands

steel mica
#

Even with iron level gear I can just swat the deathsquito

supple bear
#

its a very mountainous region

#

in the dungeons they just swarm the F out of you

steel mica
#

But yeah its very rocky

supple bear
#

The terrain in the mistlands is pretty awful

#

I mean they supposedly fixed the hitboxes somewhat but I didnt really notice a difference in my last run

steel mica
#

I couldnt tell really

supple bear
#

similar to being able to stun enemies by parrying their arrows...... they kind of view the hitboxes as part of valheims charm

#

they even removed the ability to stun enemies like that for like 2 days

#

then readded it back because it was funny

steel mica
#

Lol

#

The draugrs, skeletons, and dvergrs are probably just shocked you parry their arrows

supple bear
#

Valheim is a pretty stylized game

#

For years I pestered them on why blackmetal was green

#

So during one of their devblogs they gave an answer

#

and that answer is because a green thing drops it

#

no lie

steel mica
#

😭

#

Fair enough honestly

supple bear
#

lol they have a good sense of humor at least

steel mica
#

Valheim is probably if not the ONLY game I actively check for updates

#

Socials and what not

supple bear
#

Yeah......... not gonna lie

steel mica
#

Its just that of a good game

supple bear
#

The original experience of meadows - plains was easily triple S tier

#

neither of the new biomes were able to live up to that hype

#

and the other updates were just adding vendors

#

and a dungeon in the mountains

#

Mistlands doesn't even really feel like it belongs in the base valheim game. It's more like an expansion or a DLC

steel mica
supple bear
#

the quality jump alone is staggering

#

I may hate mistlands and the mist as a zone but they added so much with that update its insane

#

its like going from diablo 2 to playing LOD

steel mica
#

I think a fix would just be to have an upgradable wisplight or reduce the mistlands just ever so slighty

supple bear
#

They want you to spam those mist torches everywhere and use them like beacons

steel mica
#

Or another idea having a mist schedule where its misty on one area and then the next its misty there

supple bear
#

I have to spend quite a lot of time in mistlands compared to other biomes since I use magic in the endgame primarily

#

most of it is just moving extractors around

#

the amount of sap you need is criminal

steel mica
wet wolf
#

I like the jump plains and mountains seem way to easy

supple bear
#

The entire game is easy

#

This is mostly just a quality thing for me

#

In a 1v1 situation on flat ground i bet you can kill any enemy in the game easily without even getting hit

#

Especially since 95% of them can be dodged just by moving to the left or right

wet wolf
#

Plains imo is the least fun because of how fast you can complete it and you don’t even use black metal that much everything costs iron

steel mica
#

I spent so much time talking here It turned daytime LOL

supple bear
#

Yeah you can breeze through the plains pretty fast to be fair

#

I mean thats kinda true for all the original biomes

#

i spend almost no time in the black forest, swamp, or mountains

#

the meadows is like 30 minutes or less if you know what youre doing

wet wolf
#

I normally spend a while in swamp Because it’s when you start moving and expanding your base

steel mica
#

Just some decorations and organizing inventory

tacit crystal
supple bear
#

Theres nothing wrong with the game being easy. It just puts them in a position where the only real way to increase difficulty is to throw more enemies at you and that ends up just being annoying

#

Also the staff of the wild is easily the best weapon in the game

#

Mostly for the reason I just stated above lol.

steel mica
supple bear
#

The second best is the fire staff

steel mica
#

one is very strong aoe and fire dmg and other one is just free dmg sponge

supple bear
#

magic in general is just busted

#

For one simple reason: you dont use stamina to attack

steel mica
#

Honestly third is the trollstav, for obvious reasons 😂

supple bear
#

That thing is pretty garbage honestly

#

People will tell you on youtube to use that thing to clear forts but then you try it and the troll instantly gets staggered and deleted lol

steel mica
#

Its good for like making space incase you get low

supple bear
#

You can use it to distract the boss if you want

steel mica
tacit crystal
supple bear
#

Yeah but not their survivability

#

how much damage you do is irrelevant when they get staggered and melted lol

steel mica
#

Just spam fireballs or spam roots

supple bear
#

plus even if you set up a proper blood magic farm using TWIG and a poison blob it takes FOREVER to level that skill

#

I get PTSD just thinking about it

steel mica
#

Both will do the job nicely

steel mica
supple bear
#

More than that at higher levels

#

Which is why i generally dont even care about skills

#

not that I even die much in the first place but I dont bother power leveling them

#

you will easily get to 30-40 skill just using stuff

steel mica
#

Its a nice background skill

supple bear
#

run is generally my highest stat when i beat the game and its only around level 50

#

The only skill i ever actively level is blood and elemental magic for the first 30 or so

steel mica
#

<color=white>

#

oops

#

ignore that lol

supple bear
#

The third best weapon is the crossbow

#

So at least its not a magic weapon

steel mica
supple bear
#

Even an unupgraded arbelest with no skill hurts

steel mica
#

I've never like ever made the other lategame bows once I got my hands on the arbalest

supple bear
#

and you get endless carapace for free just clearing mistlands

steel mica
#

its so satisfying and deadly

supple bear
#

you can make the arb without killing any bosses lol

steel mica
#

Yeah just need some blackcores

#

iirc seeker soldiers can break jotunn/giant remains

supple bear
#

and the trees but yeah

#

you can get the arbalest and stone portals without killing a single boss

#

im not really sure how much time that ultimately saves though, if any, because it requires a lot of prep to do that

#

pillar hopping in ashlands alone is a time consuming venture

steel mica
#

If you're good and fast enough the longship can suffice the ashland waters

#

And doing quick repairs

supple bear
#

longships take iron

steel mica
#

But water dmg increases at you go further south

supple bear
#

If those shore is close enough to the ocean border you can just full send it too

loud surge
#

morning gjall

steel mica
#

mornin

supple bear
#

Do you know how rare those things are lol

steel mica
#

Only ever came across like 2

supple bear
#

Oozers is the better swamp method and even thats bad

#

the best way to get iron that early is fenrir caves

steel mica
#

What drops iron in the mountain caves?

#

I cant remember

supple bear
#

Fun fact though, you can use a troll with a log to find/kill muddy scrap piles and they can break silver

#

now getting a troll to a silver node without it dying....

#

Iron drops from the doors

steel mica
supple bear
#

its not 100% but its pretty consistent

steel mica
#

Plus its protection from wolves lol

supple bear
#

stone golems cant break silver

steel mica
#

Ah

supple bear
#

buy yet trolls can!

#

makes perfect sense right

steel mica
#

Well still good as a guard lol

supple bear
#

luckily silver has the least uses in the entire game

steel mica
#

I mean they are the iconic blue bois of valheim so they get alot of benefit Rocky

supple bear
#

you only need 2 silver bars to progress, 3 if you want a cape

steel mica
#

From resource gather, to freely early-game armor

supple bear
#

2 if you can live without a mistlight

#

theres a random caludron upgrade i think that takes 1 silver bar

#

or maybe its gaulder table idk

steel mica
#

The butcher table

supple bear
#

Thats all you technically need silver for

steel mica
#

takes 2

supple bear
#

i probably didnt include the mistlite as required in my screenshot lol

#

i mean you can technically be just fine without it

steel mica
#

Just alot harder

supple bear
#

you can get a pretty good idea of where stuff is in mistlands just by climbing up a hill

steel mica
#

I can just hear skeletons decimating the wildlife outside my walls lol

supple bear
#

the mist has a height limit

steel mica
supple bear
#

Eh I guess. They wanted you to spam those mist torches to create paths but screw all that noise

#

I just wish we had access to that healing weapon the dverger have

#

The one that summons homing missiles

steel mica
#

The yellow mages yeah

supple bear
#

Crazy how theres none of those in the ashlands

#

I dont think theres any mages at all actually

#

Kind of a sick joke tbh. Supposed to be an all out war yet one side is missing half its roster and they weren't given any programming to know to avoid lava so they usually just end up killing themselves

steel mica
#

Its possibly because A: they're a different group of dvergrs

#

B: theres no source of magic like resources

#

In ashlands

supple bear
#

The real reason is likely because it would be too strong against the ashland enemies

#

If they had mages and avoided lava they would win against ashland enemies

steel mica
#

Possibly yeah seeing already how strong their mistland counterparts are

supple bear
#

and it wouldnt even be close

#

Even a 1 star rogue can body that biome, assuming it doesnt kill itself

steel mica
#

Possibly reduce the mages to like 1 mage and a few rogues

supple bear
#

Ashlands is finished so at this point it doesnt matter

#

They aren't going to go back and fix/rework it

steel mica
#

Curios what kind of quality of life improvements they might add in the future

supple bear
#

From what I understand 1.0 is it for the most part

#

Dvoid himself has said on many occassions this is not a forever game.

#

Thats not saying they wont do valheim 2 or something but I think whatever we get in 1.0 is probably going to be the final product overall

steel mica
#

Possibly yeah because they're releasing it to other devices aswell

#

Hope they can gather everything and improve alot of the stuff and make a fully fleshed out product

supple bear
#

We will see what happens with the deep north. They spent so much time on ashlands and even then it just feels rushed and imcomplete AF

#

Even by their own admission, Forts were supposed to be radically different but they ran out of time

wet wolf
#

I feel like Ashlands mountains and plains all need more content

supple bear
#

Mountains already got more content lol

steel mica
supple bear
#

I dont really know why they felt a time crunch tbh.

wet wolf
supple bear
#

They could have taken as long as they wanted to and while im sure a few people would moan about it most would be fully on board with them taking their time on updates

#

You already see people rush to defend them now if you mention anything about slow updates

#

The mountains and Ashlands are just going to end up being "flyover" biomes you dont spend very much time in

tired path
supple bear
#

Im not sure how you can think that but ultimately its just an opinion

steel mica
#

DRAKES BRB

supple bear
#

Its just a mostly barren area with a lot of enemies and a fort prefab sprinked here and there

steel mica
#

cold wind from the mountains raid

supple bear
#

Even palworld used more than 1 prefab for their forts lol

#

And each biome has their own unique forts

neon nebula
#

tho palworld has different issues......sadly...know from experience how hosting a server there entails

supple bear
#

Yeah it does for sure im just saying

#

The forts in valheim are pretty lazy

polar mulch
#

Why you hating so much

supple bear
#

Its not hate

tired path
#

In terms of design it's the most detailed one; it has interesting gameplay mechanics with lava and the basalt bombs, the boiling water and the falling ash that burns wood structures; it has 2 types of dungeons and a decent miniboss, which is more than any other biome

polar mulch
#

I think the whole game is very well designed and refined

neon nebula
#

ngl would love to see the same love hello games gave no mans sky. just with irongate and valheim🥲

supple bear
#

For the most part it is

steel mica
#

Not my watchtowers actually having use lol

supple bear
#

Ashlands is the black sheep child

tired path
polar mulch
#

It was designed to be a baren battlefield

supple bear
#

Its ultimately just opinions

polar mulch
#

Lots of enemies and little foliage and stuff
