valheim-chat

[clear hazel]

Okay that'll be next goal. Is there any benefit running around the plains with the wishbone active?

[candid basalt]

I have never done this. Now I want to just to see if anything sets it off

[glossy heath]

there at least isn't anything buried in the wilderness like silver or iron scrap piles in the previous two biomes, but i can't remember whether or not PoIs have anything

[fossil delta]

No, everything of value is in chests.

Only time they have been useful is when I found fine wood boats and the chest was completely buried.

Because some times, there is no chest.

[pliant wasp]

Hey guys, is there a date yet for the Deep North update? Or is that still unclear? I couldn't find anything about it....

[nocturne wolf]

There's no date yet

[pliant wasp]

thx! 💪

[grave parcel]

is odin and thor rarer than in the past?

[tacit crystal]

This server will probably be the first place you'll eventually find out about the update. 👍

[tepid prawn]

Yes and specifically the #news channel probably!

[dark coyote]

I think so, hardly see them anymore

[grave parcel]

i feel like valheim at release had 5 odins per night and 1 thor per storm

now i didnt see any in like ~100h

[foggy glacier]

Well they have to visit a lot more Valheimians now. Can't spend all their time on you any more.

[tepid prawn]

It hasn't changed afaik, never seen anything that confirms that, also they only show up after a certain boss etc, always been like that, so if you play more in early game that could explain it?

[solemn hawk]

just beat fader for the first time

oh my god that bossfight was intense and fun bro

[tacit crystal]

Best fight and boss music.

[light moat]

Agreed, I think Fader is Ashlands strongest moment

[tacit crystal]

Gotta love when boss theme turns into death metal.

[copper karma]

Low bar

[light moat]

I think I’ve hated on Ashlands enough this month haha

[grave parcel]

i know its after elder but it might be just that i dont think about him and even if i see i dont notice it

[molten zealot]

👋

[tepid prawn]

Could be the fact you’re more skilled and need to scan less for threats and therefore miss him a lot

[molten zealot]

I’ve played like 3 hours on a new world with some friends and a mentor and I got troll armour and stag breaker is that good?

[molten zealot]

Worlds worst house tho sob

I’ve killed like 3 trolls and 2 bears

[smoky saddle]

Finally got the eitr refinery running

Bad news is we need more iron :/

[molten zealot]

Anybody wanna do like a clan war

[tepid prawn]

Have a look in #1024264966712340510 and maybe there is something there that accomodate what you're looking for

[tepid prawn]

Finding my first vineberry seed and collecting Ashwood is a highlight for me, and finding my first Jade 🙂

[fossil delta]

Tear down a Mistlands bridge. Lots of iron bars.

[light moat]

Sailing there for the first time, crafting Dyrnwyn, and Fader fight for me

[timber marsh]

I GOT THE DEMOLISHER HAMMER WHOOOO

HULK SMASH

[dark coyote]

[laughs in cheat sledge]

[split adder]

will a bear do well against an abomination

i might actually use it as a battle tactic

it might actually win

[dark coyote]

yeah I would think, abombination is all blunt so

[split adder]

it won

[unreal jolt]

just realized that for the sake of all these mining trips to swamps or mountains...

it would actually be easier to bring your entire forge setup with you by way of transporting ONLY the non-teleportable ingots needed for the crafting stations themselves and mats for a portal as opposed to shipping raw metal back to a main base for smithing there

dunno how relevant that stays into the lategame since i haven't been past mountains in any reasonable capacity

[split adder]

is 6 stacks of iron likely enough to get good enough gear for bonemass and early mountains

[dark coyote]

isnt it the same wweight?

[unreal jolt]

not even close, I can fit the non-portalable mats for a level 2 forge inside the puny 4 slots of a karve while holding the rest of the mats for a workbench and portal in my inventory

i'd rather do that than ship iron home 4 stacks at a time

[dark coyote]

oh well you want to make the boat first for sure

[split adder]

is 179 iron enough for basic gear to bring me to the mountain

[unreal jolt]

should be way more than enough yeah

[dark coyote]

interesting though, the bars are slightly heavier

[tepid prawn]

I just build a swamp treehouse with smelter in the swamp, close to a mountain and the sea and surtling spawners for coal, best strategy if you don't mind living in the swamp for a bit.

[unreal jolt]

the important part for me is just the smidgen of copper and tin needed to build the forge and forge accessories

all other relevant mats can be brought to the swamp via portal, since in this case the only portal-incompatible thing to worry about is the iron

i have no clue how long this strategy holds up for

it is a bit odd feeling to have a roaming forge, but it has made me build in some creative places

[dark coyote]

I did that on my first playthrough, had a "bronze base" and then an "iron base" and so on, now I just have one base for smelting and do all the hauling with the boat

[unreal jolt]

this does mean i am leaving a lot of empty husks behind as I vacuum up my forge and move on to the next ore patch but

with the abhorrent balancing of iron acquisition there's really no other way

[split adder]

who knew that a cart with nearly 1800 pounds of metal is heavy

[split adder]

what is the best way to get ectoplasm

[trail pelican]

only way really, go to the burial chambers in the BF

[foggy glacier]

honestly, kill Bonemass. That'll enable the raid, assuming you have raids enabled.

[trail pelican]

that too, but that's just waiting and praying--the only thing you can ACTIVELY do to increase chances that I know of is those dungeons

[foggy glacier]

True. Just hit up every burial chamber you can find.

[soft goblet]

is the battleaxe's attacks reversed from other weapons?

I'm using the battleaxe for the first time and it seems the attacks are reversed, where the quicker less damaging attack is RT (i'm on xbox) and the longer more damaging attack is RB

[foggy glacier]

they're not reversed, normally.

[soft goblet]

for some reason that feels counterintuitive but utlimately it's not a big deal

[foggy glacier]

I mean, the battleaxe has a very damaging combo, it's going to outdo the secondary attack.

[soft goblet]

combo?

[foggy glacier]

I see what you mean. The secondary has lower damage but higher stagger. That is sort of reversed from most.

[foggy glacier]

The battleaxe has a 3-hit combo with double damage on the last hit.

for the primary attack.

[soft goblet]

how do I perform the combo?

omg nevermind just press the attack button thrice

do all weapons have a combo attack

[foggy glacier]

most.

[soft goblet]

TIL 😭

[foggy glacier]

Spear being a notable exception.

Most also have a special 'secondary' attack.

[soft goblet]

word, thanks

[split adder]

we should rename valheim to metal processing simulator

[soft goblet]

also just gotta say, not trying to be a hater, but the primary attack looks ridiculous lol

not at all what I expected it to be

[split adder]

sitting in a circle of furnaces spitting out metal feels like being a god chilling and getting peoples offerings

[foggy glacier]

You don't need to sit there, right?

[split adder]

obviously i do

what else would i do, be productive?

[foggy glacier]

Lol I guess.

[foggy glacier]

go get more metal ore, obviously.

[split adder]

i dont want to enter another sunken crypt for a while

at least not until my gear is way too good for it

it takes too long

[foggy glacier]

use the scrap heaps for cover. You generally should be able to clear crypts with a bow and a sledge.

[split adder]

my pickaxe never has enough durability though

[foggy glacier]

do you have an iron pickaxe yet?

[split adder]

no

[foggy glacier]

Ah, I see.

Stick with the antler one then. You can repair it with a workbench on top of the crypt.

[split adder]

i forgot about the antler pickaxe

[timber marsh]

I discovered Lox will just decimate seekers...

[steel mica]

Lox: High health, can spawn as a duo or trio, aoe dmg

Seeker: Spawn as a duo or possibly even as a trio at night, has pierce attack lox are weak to, flight, lower health

A lox will certainly lose against a seeker soldier

The soldier has just too much hp to deal with

[split adder]

what level iron buckler should i get for bonemass

[atomic hare]

lvl 1000 if possible

[timber marsh]

The difference between a seeker and a seeker soldier is like a furling vs a vile

[split adder]

i accidentally crafted a new buckler

or maybe it just came from upgrading it

i dont know how crafting duplication works

[atomic hare]

it will say the level on top right of icon

[split adder]

ones level 3 one is level 1

[feral grove]

Then it seems you created a second one. Pretty sure shields cap at level 3 anyway.

[rotund dust]

I think I've hit old age, I used to carry my son in every biome... Now I just die in every biome and hes constantly saving me... Sigh... Not like this.

[feral grove]

That means you have been successful as a parent and teacher. Take pride in the capability of one you have trained.

[rotund dust]

I mean I guess! But I liked being the carry 😛

[mortal thicket]

Im the carry

[rotund dust]

We just found the Ashlands Boss, but no clue what alarm bells are needed (no spoilers) we'll keep exploring to find bells to put on it or some shit i guess

[orchid quail]

when are we getting deep north :D?

[foggy glacier]

Pinned comment in #general😜

[orchid quail]

didnt find it

[foggy glacier]

Sorry, channel description.

'When it's ready.' is all we've got.

[teal aspen]

Hi community!
What is the latest day you have found Haldor? I am now around day 290... Just needing tips to find him soon. He must be near the 5km line behind some plains

found both other merhants even before i got the key to the Sunken Crypts

[fossil delta]

He can be in any black forest. So just sail around close to BF costs and hope his icon shows up.

There are 10 possible locations for him. So hopefully you get one closer to starting rather than farther out to the edges of the map going East or West.

[teal aspen]

maybe too late for that. Mapped almost all the middle areas

reached the mistlands at east

and howling cavern is west

[fossil delta]

Its definitely possible for him to be further out only. Its happened to me a few times.

You can find a BF all the way to either edge of the map. Odds are at least one of the 10 possible locations will be closer to the center.

There is a map viewer in the pins, that you can use to see where he is supposed to be.

[teal aspen]

yeah, thanks. Probably not checking it. Just keep on looking every corner.

[fossil delta]

You can modify the viewer to show only the traders. If your concerned about seeing too much.

[teal aspen]

wont' "ruin" the game more by looking

[mellow shadow]

Wow! I got timed out for 10 minutes. ☹️ I don’t know what happened. I was posting a suggestion that took me a while to write.

🚫 This can't be posted because it contains content blocked by this server. This may also be viewed by server owners.
I wonder what I wrote that’s forbidden here. 😔

[fossil delta]

Yeah, I got timed out for something stupid as well a week or two ago.
Had to do with totally innocuous words apparently having to do with spamming bitcoins or something.

[tacit crystal]

Did you use too many certain symbols like "#"s?

[mellow shadow]

Yes.

[tacit crystal]

Automod can block messages if certain symbols like "#" is used too much.

[mental wren]

Hi everyone, i wonder how close is this game to full release, wanted to buy it, it doesn't matter that the game still in early access for me, just wondering

[terse helm]

The final update is supposed to be this year some time

[mental wren]

Okay, thank u!

[feral grove]

To my knowledge, that has not been confirmed by any official source. Stated timeframe is "when it's done."

[wicked shard]

what is the point of these platters with food?

they give like 35 or 45 hp/sta which is pretty weak IMO

[chrome badge]

They last far longer and enable usage of some different/older ingredients.

[feral grove]

The mistlands platter is actually pretty good, if I remember right.

[wicked shard]

65/65/33 after defeating Queen

[flint knot]

They are well balanced, although medium for their biome in general. They last twice as long and a tray holds 10 bites for the price of just 3 dishes. It's really good when you just want to walk around a bit or build something.

(In terms of pure stats, if we simply naively add up stamina, life, and eitr, the last tiers trays are the best food you can get)

[fossil delta]

They are not great by themselves, but I find them to be rather potent when I use the two best with my best HP or Stamina food. So I have 50 minutes of having both HP and Stamina rather high, combined with whichever food I want to use, because I will either be running and exploring, or fighting. So I use Stamina or HP, respectively.

[tired path]

The summoning of that boss is so badass, I love his introduction. One of the most hype moments in the game, so bad it's in the end.

[tired path]

The Mistlands Feast is the only one that actually matters, using Feasts before beating The Queen is kind of really bad. However, that only applies if you're playing as a Mage, as the balanced stats from Feasts and the long food duration makes them ideal to combine with 2 Eitr foods. If you're going purely melee, Feasts are worse than using the best available HP/Stam foods

[tacit crystal]

I like using HSF food setup.

[lusty dirge]

I'm usually running with FFH for large parts of the game, so feasts are great imo

[steel mica]

We love valheim

[steel mica]

2nd being yagluth

[onyx moon]

When do you think version 1.0 will be released?

[steel mica]

When it is ready.

[swift elm]

I hunger for info

[median ibex]

It'll be out when it's ready.

[faint nebula]

im sure you mean 2026

[median ibex]

I personally believe it'll likely drop sometime this year as opposed to next year, but ultimately it'll be out when it's ready.

[weary egret]

No lmao

[near furnace]

when it's done 😉

[idle carbon]

By using two characters , you can cheat by giving one characters lots of food, minerals, best weapons etc, and then move the stuff to the world where the main character is and drop everything on the floor.
That cheat is so easy and removes all the fun in the game. Why would I enjoy exploring and harvest things for hours when I can get everything in a few minutes. Anyone knows if this loophole will ever be patched?

[tiny tiger]

Why do the cheat then

[lunar sapphire]

-# You can just give yourself items with the console instead?

[tiny tiger]

It’s like saying I could shoot myself in the foot with a gun and it would hurt

Just don’t shoot yourself in the foot

[idle carbon]

I cheat because I can. But I grind if I can’t cheat. It’s that simple. Mentally, it’s weird to grind ore for several days when you can have it all for free.

[tiny tiger]

You have been given the freedom to set your own fun, whether you do things you end up regretting is upto you

[idle carbon]

Me and my friends had fun for weeks, building, grinding, exploring. And after I got the best ore and weapons, it wasn’t fun so I quit. When I stopped, the rest of the ”clan” stopped playing too.. it’s not a good feature!

[lone rampart]

That sounds like a you problem then.

[idle carbon]

I wonder if I am the only one.

[tired path]

You can also give yourself unlimited items with the console

Swapping worlds out also helps if you're drowning, for example. You can close the server, log in into a new world, regenerate stamina, then go back to being in the middle of the ocean and keep on swimming

Although it's definitely easier to just type in "devcommands" and then "fly"

[idle carbon]

Analogy: here’s 1,000 bucks for free, do you want it? ,or do you want to work your ass off to get that money?
Most people would probably say, yes please and accept the money. That’s a better analogy than shooting one’s foot…

[lone rampart]

It’s really not 🤣

[untold sinew]

I would work for it

[idle carbon]

I used the console to get everything I think

[tired path]

What a terrible comparison lol

[tired path]

Congrats! I hope you enjoyed yourself

[lone rampart]

If you feel you must cheat because the option is there, then that’s just a lack of discipline on your part. The option is there to help as needed, not a magical cheat button.

[idle carbon]

Hmm

[tired path]

Yeah, it just seems like a lack of self control. Just because it's there doesn't mean you HAVE to use it. You can just not, you know? And play the game as intended

[idle carbon]

I like your various perspectives

[tired path]

Also, nobody is telling you how to play the game. There was some guy around that liked playing the game with no potions. Me on the other hand, I very often use the debug teleport to skip corpse runs because I hate them. Makes the game more enjoyable to me

[idle carbon]

It’s one of the best games I have ever played

[weary egret]

Would reducing the death penalty in options help?

[tired path]

Casual death penalty makes you keep the inventory, right?

[weary egret]

In the lowest setting u keep skills and invetory iirc

[tired path]

I might give it a shot

The thing is, it really depends. If I die in the middle of the Ashlands after running for 20 minutes to some 2-star Charred Warrior and forgot to set a portal, then I'll just TP. If I feel like the corpse run isn't going to be a gamble, then I run

It's a highly personal thing

[candid basalt]

Valheim is a highly personal game so that tracks

[foggy glacier]

Not quite. You keep equipment but drop inventory. Your skills still go down, but only 20% of normal.

[dusty frost]

The lowest setting is infinitely more fun

Keeping your armor for a runback is 👌

[teal sage]

hello anyone want to join my community server

[lunar sapphire]

Please use the #1024264966712340510 channel for finding other players to join

[teal sage]

okay

[candid basalt]

I can’t wait for other members of my server to be ready for queen fight.

[craggy hill]

hi

I'd like to ask the developers why magic doesn't appear at the start of the game. What's the reason for this, and will it be added to the starting locations, similar to bear armor?

[candid basalt]

You don’t unlock the knowledge until you are able access the power of the world tree.

[tacit crystal]

There have been discussions about it earlier, adding it earlier would require lots of balancing so they wouldn't be too OP (as it's quite currently) and new foods and sources for them. Plus it would need to make sense lore vise.

[candid basalt]

I like that since it requires a certain sap and you can’t even find that until a certain biome, it makes perfect sense that it’s not available until late mid game

Maybe hedge magic like an aoe that makes your tames follow you for beginning magic? Like make a magic whistle

Personally I would like a revisit to building materials. Wood walls made of fine wood or wood beams made of yggdrassil

Wall scones with blue/green fire like torches

[timber marsh]

I don't want to dig a gigantic pit... how do I keep the lox from climbing on each other and getting out!?

[lone rampart]

Tall walls

[timber marsh]

I am so glad that magic does not appear until late game

[steel mica]

What were the major updates in order?

[timber marsh]

They are tall!

[lone rampart]

They will splinter wood and eventually smash stone, though

[steel mica]

Im a bit lazy to look into the valheim website

[timber marsh]

Magic is WAY overpowered. So make it extremely difficult to craft

[lone rampart]

Maybe plant trees really close together, use that as a fence?

[timber marsh]

Yeah and terraforming looks terrible

[median ibex]

Hear me out:
The best looking buildings and bases look lived in as opposed to prim 'n' perfect; things that can get away with being off centre being off centred looks great, like rugs on the floor, loose weaponry, food on tables, etc.
Have a few chairs at a table pulled out, or angled slightly to the side, etc. etc.

I love making my bases look homely, as opposed to making them look like art pieces.

[steel mica]

Just dig a pit really

[timber marsh]

We built a homely village and tavern at spawn.

My castle is gonna go up in the mountains

[steel mica]

You wont be using lox that much other than carrying stuff while encumbered

[lone rampart]

This is a constant point of contention on my server I have a friend who wants the chairs all lined up and symmetrical and I’ll go behind her and messy it up again

[timber marsh]

But I just love lox...

[steel mica]

Fair they're fluffy

[candid basalt]

And tasty!

[steel mica]

And that...

[candid basalt]

Meat platters and lox pie ftw

[timber marsh]

I only hunt wild lox, if anyone lays a finger on my babies you will feel my wrath

But now that I have unlocked better food

[median ibex]

See, I'll make things line up, but I won't always make them symmetrical.
Like, I have a small room in my longhouse acting as my bed room; I've got a table on a bit of floor made available by a window jutting out; I've lined the table up perfectly, but the chair looking pulled out. I want my place to look like I live there, not like it's waiting for someone to live there.
Things that make sense to be symmetrical are made symmetrical. Everything else is up at the mercy of my whims.

[timber marsh]

I wish valheim vr didn't make me motion sick it's so cool

Makes the game 5 times harder tho

[paper marsh]

IMO not a good way to balance things

[steel mica]

Valheim is already quite grindy and making it harder to craft by default just extends the grind session

Which not many players have the time for

[ionic elk]

I think magic is in a pretty good place with how it's balanced food wise tbh. You can't even use dead raiser unless you've had minimum 2 Eitr foods, so that leaves either HP or Stam low, which feels about right.

Sure you can spam protection or embers quite readily, but it's never a necessity. It can be easily ignored and won't hard lock you out of anything if you do

[slow leaf]

Is Yagluth immune to the wet effect? It uses to say so in the wiki but no longer does, can't test at the moment

[tacit crystal]

In order: Hearth and Home, Mistlands, Hildir's Request, Ashlands, Bog Witch, Call to Arms.

[paper marsh]

imo it's not particularly balanced. But a lot of things aren't so whatevs

Magic just gives hella damage and hella tankiness while allowing you to stay at long range and use slow/knockback, which effectively makes you a high damage tank that rarely takes damage

[craggy hill]

Is there any information about the balance of mages, for example, a mob with magic protection or an absorbing supply of Eitra?

[ionic elk]

You can also use it like a psychotic murder hobo, kiting things into a tight pack and fire balling em up real nice

[ionic elk]

Tbh I wouldn't be surprised if we may see magic fleshed out a bit more with DN, I could see more mystical enemies making sense there

[nocturne wolf]

An enemy with a tiny shield generator would be interesting

You can still use ranged weapons if you get close and use it to block other ranged enemies

[craggy hill]

Yes, it would be nice if mages' lives became a little worse. I'd also like to see a system where you could transfer experience points from one skill to another. For example, from the spear skill to the blunt weapon skill.

[chrome badge]

I'm really hoping for less combat focused magic personally, I have way too much Eitr food. I wouldn't mind using it at my base, or while gathering materials.

I want a Plantmancer Staff that allows planting a perfect row of 6 seeds, and uses a Dead Raiser animation. 😅

[candid basalt]

This would rock

[chrome badge]

[craggy hill]

or flight magic that throws a Viking (or a Viking's friend) into the sky

[lone rampart]

That’s called a catapult

[chrome badge]

That feels like it could be used to just avoid major challenges, that wouldn't be good for the game in my opinion.

[tough rampart]

Has anyone experienced raids still happening on a Valheim server even though raids are disabled?
We disabled raids and installed a mod, but raids are still occurring. The mod doesn’t seem to work. Any ideas why?

[nocturne wolf]

Jumping with feather cape and lightfoot is strong enough already

[chrome badge]

Yeah the catapult is a healthier option for this with the degree of setup needed.

[craggy hill]

Who said this buggy would gently lower you to the ground?

[chrome badge]

Coupled with the Feather Cape it'd do just that.

Not to mention, you only take 100 max fall damage, meaning meads could be gamed.

[craggy hill]

Well, from a lore perspective, it's possible to explain why they can't be used simultaneously. Let's say the cloak's entropy field collapses with the spell and breaks the cloak.

It would be possible to introduce a system where magic can only be used in certain clothing, otherwise the player and the armor will suffer serious damage.

[nocturne wolf]

Eitr regen bonuses encourage specific clothing instead of forcing it which is much better

[craggy hill]

Yes, this system is certainly good, but the mage still has the choice not to wear this armor and still feel quite good. Although Eitr breaks stone walls, an ordinary person can simply come into contact with it without harm. Of course, when it's in the inventory.

[candid basalt]

Listening to Valheim OST at work. I forgot how hard Eikthyr music goes

[timber marsh]

When you're playing on a vanilla server and you want to build an epic castle but the amount of materials requires creative mode...

[mental flower]

or you adjust the drop rate of supplies and continue to play like usual.

[timber marsh]

Yeah, I'll ask them we have 10 people now

[analog iris]

looking for someone whos active to play with

[rough sluice]

FIRST EVER CRAVEN

[lunar sapphire]

Craven?

[rough sluice]

CARVEN

[compact nimbus]

I’m craven carven

[upper wyvern]

Any idea when new update is about to hit?

[fossil delta]

Yeah, when they announce its coming.

Plus its not an update, its the 1.0 version.

[upper wyvern]

So thats not yeah

[fossil delta]

Will we know when its coming once they announce its release date? Yes, we will. Until then, no one knows. So why ask if there has been no announcement?

You could just follow the news channel, and then know as soon as anyone else will.

[lunar sapphire]

-# Too logical

[upper wyvern]

Because often some people who follow the game closely have an idea or estimate of when it’s coming even without any official posts. I didn’t ask anything about official posts. So the logical answer to my question would be no

[candid basalt]

We play with x2 resources, with six people. Otherwise there would not be enough materials for everyone

[fossil delta]

Oh, you want guess'. That is different. Mine is July. Why? Because it's my birthday month, so it would be great to have the full game then.

[sterile kernel]

Notable Entry:
The 10 year development hell project, Hytale, released during this timeframe.```

[light moat]

Its not a race though 🤔

Looks like the first game mentioned, XDefiant, was ‘shut down’ 1 year after its official launch? Yeah idk, seems like a poor comparison 🤔

[fossil delta]

Besides, I have zero hours in any of those games. Why? Because I have nearly 5300 hours invested in an unfinished game called Valheim.

[compact moth]

I just wish we had mods for xbox 🙁

[light moat]

Rumbleverse: also shut down apparently. Like, I get that Valheim may feel a little slow, but that list isn’t helping the case LOL

I dont know any of those games, just going down the list and googling

[light moat]

Holy moly, I knew you had a lot but I didn’t realize how much lol

[fossil delta]

Yet there are people who have a lot more.

[light moat]

XDefiant: shut down 1 year after release
Rumbleverse: shut down 1 year after release:
Warhaven: Shut down
Dreadhunger: Shut down, no longer available.
New World: shut down
The Crew: shut down, also Ubisoft LOL
Hood Outlaws: double digit playerbase for awhile apparently. Also, shutting down.

I’m confused on what this list is supposed to point out 🤔

[steady warren]

anyone german for playing valheim?

[upper wyvern]

Playing Valheim makes you german?

[analog iris]

anyone wanna play on pc? 16+ have a mic and discord & I will teach you I just started new world today earlier I wanna find people who are ACTIVE to play

[foggy glacier]

Someone in #1024264966712340510 might.

[copper karma]

“I’m a gamer dad looking for 16 year olds to play with and teach.” 🤨

[near furnace]

no but they want other germans to play with while speaking their native language

[grand fractal]

Well I just started and got a strange craving for Bratwurst so I wouldn't be so sure

[analog iris]

16+ so they are atleast somewhat mature

[frozen fable]

Just made me think of Boar Burgers lol

[copper karma]

Don't seek out children to play games with.

[analog iris]

at this point im just trying to find someone to play with because playing solo is boring sorry

sorry I dont have friends & I am trying to find people to play with

no adults are mature enough to be honest with me just had a dude lie to me & tell me he had a call & he left my server removed/blocked me instead of just being a man and saying I dont wanna play w you

[copper karma]

Don't seek out children to play games with. "No adults are mature enough" is not an excuse to seek out children to socialize with.

[analog iris]

im not seeking children

[odd flare]

I love the solo play style honestly, it's just soooo much more time consuming. I'd be down to start a freshworld with ya this weekend? I only have 260 hours under my belt, and I'm about to sail into Ashland's for the first time

[left carbon]

Solo is fine, can be flavoured with mods too. But once you have above 1k+ hours, you find it a bit more boring and want to share some of that experience with others.

[chrome badge]

I go the other way, where I have such specific ways I enjoy playing, it's best for me to play alone rather than become frustrated with my friends.

[copper karma]

We have 3 couples on our server all playing somewhat independently. Getting together for boss progression.

[soft swift]

I love the solo grind. Mainly because I don't build "smart" I'm making legit Viking settlement and I don't wanna hear about how much safer them ugly ahh moats and plateau strongholds are. Thats just me tho. Immersion is the name of the game for me.

Plus gets boring if I can stand on a wall and they just go away.

[odd flare]

I'll let you know when I get there lol

Tonight, I'm going to start a 2nd solo playthrough. Hardcore, no portals or map

[paper marsh]

Good luck

[odd flare]

I'm going to hate myself for it, but I think I've gathered enough knowledge(so far) to at least attempt it

[paper marsh]

No map is a pain but a fun challenge

[odd flare]

Using the craft karve as a compass on the ocean, and knowing the vegisirs are facing in the general direction of the bosses is going to help a lot

I may not do no portals, I'm still on the fence about it, but I'm up for the challenge

Very 1st thing I'll do is get a fine bow, and it'll be alright lol

[paper marsh]

Using the Yggdrasil as a constant in the sky to navigate by is very helpful too

[odd flare]

Yeah it's east to west right, same as the sun?
The boat for the shadow. I also read something about locking piece orientation. Do they just rotate the piece in that direction to stay on course?

[merry pebble]

The trunk of the tree is in the East iirc 🙂

[odd flare]

I'm excited

[paper marsh]

Yeah whatever way you rotate a build piece (without placing it) it’ll stay in that orientation. So you cna rotate it to the north for example and then you can always pull out your hammer to know which way north is

[odd flare]

Sick

[rotund dust]

In my honest opinion, no portal no map, was the best experience i had playing this game on a solo world.

If you're crazy enough too, make it a permanent death world.

[fossil delta]

Like I keep saying, its a challenge for me to find my way with the maps. So I'll never be trying a run with out them.

[paper marsh]

Permanent death without cheese is real fun imo

[light moat]

A lactose intolerant run

[paper marsh]

I do those too sometimes, but those allow small amounts of cheese

[silk token]

gl have fun! i find that no map goes well with no portals and synergies in a lot of ways. if you dont like the hardcore difficulty definitely try no map/portal on lower difficulty, it’s very cool for immersion and feels like a new game.

[silk token]

cheese is for rats. am viking not rat

[west mica]

Were not getting 1.0 in february are we
Just over 1 month to test the update then get ready for full PC and PS5 release

Probs not likely

[paper marsh]

Very unlikely. I’d highly doubt it’s anytime in the next 4 months

[split adder]

is it worth it to use as much as i can for bonemass and get serpent meat or should i be fine with boar, deer and bear meat

[paper marsh]

Serpent meat isn’t needed, but I’d recommend using at least sausages. The other ones are all Black Forest tier, you want some Swamp food in your tummy

If you want an easier time go for serpent tho. That stuff is busted strong

[copper karma]

Bonemass is pretty trivial with ||poison resist mead and dodging his very telegraphed attacks||. I wouldn't stress minmaxing the hp food too hard unless you think you, personally, need more than the average player.

[timber marsh]

krom or mist walker

[copper karma]

That's up to your taste, friend. I like using a buckler with a 1h weapon

[silk wedge]

mist walker does frost damage which is very useful in the mistlands and ashlands

[paper marsh]

mistwalker

[timber marsh]

yeah i made mistwalker and friend made krom

i made demolisher

[silk wedge]

haha big hammer go boom

[timber marsh]

i love it

[silk wedge]

it is pretty great

[paper marsh]

Never could get used to those

[trail pelican]

the sledges?

[timber marsh]

Do I make a big lightning stick

[copper karma]

why not.

[rotund dust]

I felt krom used too much stamina, and couldnt parry enough, so i prefer mistwalker/buckler

[split adder]

since coins are useless aside from trading doesnt that mean we're scamming traders

[paper marsh]

Maybe they have other customers and suppliers somewhere. I've long wondered who it could be though, feels like we're their only customer

[rotund dust]

No they are gold coins, gold valuable to others. If you mean paper notes traded for real things, then yes, we are scammers 🙂

[copper karma]

Haven't checked out the bog witch, huh?

[split adder]

no

[copper karma]

Let me assure you. Coins aren't useless.

[split adder]

arent they useless to her though

[rotund dust]

I was surprised we never could smelt gold

[paper marsh]

Maybe she needs them to buy some new clothes from Hildr

A gals gotta have some options in her closet

[split adder]

what would hildir do with it

[paper marsh]

Buy some spices from the bog witch to spice up her cooking

[split adder]

do they really need the gold then

cant they just trade

[copper karma]

babby's first "money isn't real" thought

[paper marsh]

Should be able to, might just not be that smart and would rather give half their stock to a random viking

[lone rampart]

That or they saw the random Viking running around in rag armor picking up rocks on day one and took pity on them.

[split adder]

i dont think theyll see the average viking until day 10 minimum

by then theyll hopefully at least have a nice hat

[paper marsh]

Maybe they're a silent watcher like Odin

[lone rampart]

You don’t suppose they saw the Valkyrie carrying you in half-nude and thought “Aw great…another one”?

[split adder]

fair point

[lone rampart]

Judging from the runestones we aren’t the first

[timber marsh]

same... i think he realized how important shields are...

and for 2 handed i use HAMMER

[split adder]

should i do any arena preparation for bonemass or should it be fine

[lone rampart]

|| I generally use a hoe to get more ground above the water level ||

[copper karma]

Vaguely raise the land out of water nearby, in case you want to kill a spawned skelly

[fossil delta]

I just stand there toe to toe with him and use one stamina mead. I beat him in about 2 minutes. With the iron mace at lvl 4. Plus, of course, poison resistance.

[split adder]

i feel like the draugr are gonna be the ones that kill me

[fossil delta]

Yeah, the randoms can be a problem. Especially in the mountains.

You can always spawn proof the area.

[split adder]

im getting decimated by a 2 star draugr and i havent even entered the swamp

theres also a land leech

[fossil delta]

What gear are you in?

[split adder]

iron set with root mask

[fossil delta]

Your using which shield?

[steel mica]

2-h swords are juicy as hell

[split adder]

level 3 iron buckler

[steel mica]

The hits are very devastating

[fossil delta]

Is your HP low? You should be able to handle a 2 star pretty easily.

[split adder]

yeah i dont have food active yet

[fossil delta]

OK, that explains it.

[split adder]

im trying not to use it until im at bonemass

[steel mica]

Thats one way to die quick

[fossil delta]

I usually put a portal near him. Usually because there are crypts and surtling spawners near him as well.

[fossil delta]

I was going to let him figure that out. 😄 Swamp trauma is a Valheim rite of passage.

[split adder]

why does the swamp suddenly increase in difficulty from the black forest

[fossil delta]

By the numbers its not that much of an increase.

[steel mica]

Its the environment really

Its constantly raining, water hindering movement, and being quite open so creatures can be persistent

[fossil delta]

Yeah, if you get into too deep of water, your begging the swamp to take you down.

Its where having a good jump skill really pays off. Being able to jump up onto the back of those crypts is your safe space. 😄

The ancient trees can help too.

[split adder]

what is the weird basket icon or whatever it is on the map

is that the bog witch

[fossil delta]

One of the traders. Hildir, I think.

Bog Witch is in swamps, Hildir is in Meadows.

[split adder]

its in the swamp

[steel mica]

Haldor = Bag
Hildir = T-shirt
Bog Witch = Cauldron

[fossil delta]

So Bog Witch. She has good stuff.

I like to buy a lot of Squirrel tendons at your stage of the game.

[split adder]

can i put a portal in her sphere

[fossil delta]

Not within it, no.

Can't do that with any of the traders.

Also be aware that you can be attacked while your inside of her hut.

So if you run to her hut stay outside and let that sphere turn them away before you enter.

[split adder]

thats bonemasses area?

its a little small

[fossil delta]

I'm talking about the Bog Witch area.

Inside her hut is not safe.

[split adder]

oh i meant i found bonemasses skull thingy

[fossil delta]

Oh, good. I thought you already had. So this swamp is new to you.

[split adder]

yes

should i be scared

[fossil delta]

Only if this is your first swamp. Otherwise you have probably seen everything there is to see.

Aside from Boney.

[split adder]

oh i died

i suck at parrying

[fossil delta]

If you hadn't eaten I am not surprised.

[nocturne wolf]

If your max health is too low a correctly timed parry will still fail

[fossil delta]

You have to eat for your parry, or block, to be effective.

[nocturne wolf]

Staggering is based on a percentage of a character’s max health, for players and enemies

[fossil delta]

You want your HP at about 140 for swamps.

[nocturne wolf]

Anything over 100 is good, you might want more stamina instead

[fossil delta]

He already ran into a 2 star draugr.

Without having eaten.

[odd flare]

Well I've made it to shorepointe, my first base. Along the way, I found the first boss altar, and have pathed from stones to altar and to my base. Not too bad for an hours work

This no nap no portals thing is gonna be a breeze😅
The tree in the sky has kept me on track

Haven't slept in 3 days though

[split adder]

despite being connected to a small bit of plains, should i go build a portal in the black forest next to the bonemass spawner for easier access due to my likely deaths caused by skill issue

could also be nice to have easier access to the plains later on i guess

[split adder]

is there a scientific reason why the wind always blows in the direction opposite of the direction im going

why do bears always try to help me with my task
a bear just pushed my boat off of the land

[mellow shadow]

I wish Turnip Stew would use Deer Meat instead of Boar Meat. So many recipes use Boar Meat already.

[chrome badge]

I've had this same thought many times 😅

[light moat]

Perhaps it’s to encourage the taming of boar? 🤔

[mellow shadow]

What about Bear Meat? I have a reinforced chest full of Bear Meat! 😂

[mellow shadow]

I have a couple of boars, but I get meat faster by hunting the free ones.

[light moat]

That’s fair! Idk, once I get my 2-star boar farm going, I feel like I never have to hunt them. But I feel lil finding boar is my weakness for some reason lol

[mellow shadow]

By hunting I get: Boar Meat, Deer Meat, Raspberries, Blueberries, Thistle.

[chrome badge]

Yeah, the amount of deer hide needed typically leaves the player overflowing with deer meat, I will honestly just burn it all for coal.

[paper marsh]

For me two of the boar recipes aren’t really worthwhile

[mellow shadow]

Event one feast uses Boar as part of the ingredients. 💀 I'm using the lifesaver Wolf Jerky, Sausages and one mana food.

[light moat]

Hunting deer is a nice way to chill and pass some time

[mellow shadow]

The Eyescream is too expensive with the Drakes

[mellow shadow]

Yeah, plus gathering berries. The game encourages you to go hunting once in a while, specially for single player.

[light moat]

The ole’ berry trail

[mellow shadow]

I made 8 Eyescreams and it took me like 40 min chasing those drakes.

The sausages gives me x4 sausages!! It's excellent, and the wolf jerky is so abundant!

I dare to say wolf jerky feels unbalanced

Because I can make it effortlessly.

[light moat]

Yeah sausages are great, they’re kinda like a ‘checkpoint’ food for me because they’re abundant and useful if you’re running low on other foods.

[terse wagon]

Onion soup is way more efficient to make, sure you lose what like 5 min additional buff timer.. but it's simple and easy to farm

[mellow shadow]

Hmm... Where could I get onions?

[terse wagon]

Mountains, look for cabins

I think you can find some in ice caves too in chests if I remember

[mellow shadow]

Ohh... So no luck for me at the moment. I repair and establish a checkpoint at every cabin I find in the mountains, but no onions yet.

[terse wagon]

Lots of mountains to uncover, you'll eventually get them

[solid portal]

@mellow shadow Look for the broken houses in the mountains. You’ll find chests there with onion seeds in them

[mellow shadow]

I wonder how many silver veins you guys haul down the mountains? I’m bringing them down three at a time so the cart is somewhat manageable. 🤔

[lunar sapphire]

Y'all are taking carts?

[terse wagon]

Yes always use a cart, so much better and make sure to always carry. HOE with you to help clear paths for leveling terrain etc

[mellow shadow]

I don’t like “tricks” or exploits. I know about the thing with going to another world and switch back, but that’s not my thing. I try to play the most immersive way possible.

[mellow shadow]

Roughly how many veins do you transport at a time?

[low warren]

it's kind of ironic that moving between isles on foot in the ashlands is more difficult when you're near shore because the waves don't go up and down to help you onto the spires

[terse wagon]

Well I always make an assessment before mining, see how many veins I can find. Usually one vein can give ~90 ore, if I don't have a base in that island I make sure to book it straight to my long ship

Go the least resistance path down the Mountain, gotta have a plan for it, if you find multiple veins don't use 1 cart, set up carts at each vein location so you don't have to track through that terrain

[mellow shadow]

LMAO! The drakes are killing themselves by flying through the bonfires I have nearby!!

[lunar sapphire]

Poor Drakes

[terse wagon]

I've found at least 4 veins total, intend to look for large mountains though, I always skip the first 3 bosses though and go straight for the mountains after I got an iron pickaxe

[mellow shadow]

If you find multiple veins don't use 1 cart, set up carts at each vein location so you don't have to track through that terrain
This is interesting and actually makes sense. Splitting the load between several carts for better maneuverability. I hadn’t thought of that before. 🤔 📝

[terse wagon]

There are legit ways of getting iron without exploiting.

Oozers, using stagbreaker in the swamp looking for mud piles in the soil..

Or my best solution is to actually take a carve and destroy the mistlands Viaducts base and let it crumble down and load it up and take them back to get iron pickaxe etc (I tend to make a longship the. Look for more viaducts)

[chrome badge]

Does anyone know if it's even possible to have a meadows biome attached to a mistlands biome? I can't seem to generate a seed where that happens.

[terse wagon]

I've had a black forest attached which was meadows attached to mistlands

[chrome badge]

Yeah, I want it directly connected to meadows if possible.

[mellow shadow]

I wasn’t aware there are mud piles outside the Sunken Crypts.

[terse wagon]

There is, you can randomly find them in the soil, harder to get sometimes because there will be water

[undone forum]

Wishbone will ping them, same as silver

[mellow shadow]

That solves the mystery of why I sometimes had a bit of iron scrap in the swamp after fighting an Abomination. 🤔

[terse wagon]

Right now I have a seed that has 2 mistlands, large mountains, a swamp, 3 plains on one large island on my current seed

It has 4+ silver veins on it, plus moder boss stone

Seed is "PlagueInReverse"

[sand linden]

carts make me nervous on the mountain before i get better gear because i’m usually up there in troll til i can make the wolf chest piece

[terse wagon]

When looking with the stagbreaker, the trick is to look for 0's and "Too Hard" that looks out of place when smacking the terrain

You can get false positives on Ancient Trees so be aware

Don't forget you can hold the right mouse button and dodge roll to exit the cart straps easy when you get into serious combat

[timber marsh]

I saw a super tiny piece connected in ours

[chrome badge]

Do you have your seed?

[timber marsh]

I can check the map later

[median ibex]

I just run a Battle Axe and CLEAVE THROUGH ALL THAT APPROACH /s

[rare lichen]

The feeling of watching a days worth of silver tumble down the wrong side of the mountain

[solid portal]

You can’t even get one. It weighs too much.

[mellow shadow]

I meant by cart.

[solid portal]

@mellow shadow ahh probably at least a couple then

jesus this ashlands continent took 2.5 hours for me to circumnavigate on the beach

[oblique zinc]

It's appropriately circum-sized

[plain mirage]

We love sequence breaking (I just spent 7 hours in the mistlands harvesting resources, eyesight isn't needed

[rough bough]

Im going to waste a lot of my life on this game aren't I

Yes but not tonight

Wat time sone ??

for me its 1 am lmao

[rough bough]

My cats say its past my bedtime

[rough sluice]

Lol

[thorn citrus]

Are crypts really the best way to make iron ?

I have a lot of hours in valheim and honestly I'm starting to think that destroying bridges in the mistlands gives more iron and I don't have to smelt it

[inner knot]

idk but ive spent day 1-16 on a singular house

[tacit crystal]

Crypts are more reliable source for iron. Viaducts in Mistlands are good source, but they are more limited and can be harder to spot.

[steel mica]

Swamps are still your go to you have no other choice other than the bridges in mistlands lol

[tepid prawn]

I have trouble finding them as fast as crypts

[feral grove]

Crypts are also inhabited by lowly swamp enemies. Mistlands iron has the potential to be more powerfully defended.

[tiny tiger]

True answer is it depends on whether your RNG leans towards you finding more crypts or finding more bridges

Once you do find mistlands bridges they’re a lot faster to take apart in comparison to a crypt imo

[tacit crystal]

You can search people in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1024264966712340510 👍

[idle spade]

for silver stuff what is generaly considered highest priority to make?

[tacit crystal]

Cauldron upgrade. Shield. Weapons of choice.

[abstract warren]

Anyone here plays Valheim on Steam Deck?

[median ibex]

I forgot, can you rotate items on vertical item frames?

[median ibex]

Didn't say Crystal Battleaxe 💔

[tacit crystal]

It can be included in "weapons of choice".

[idle spade]

So unlike what people say, frostner isn't necessarily better then the silver sword?

[tacit crystal]

Silver sword will be strong against undead enemies due to its high spirit damage. Frostner becomes solid weapon in most biomes after mountain due to its frost damage which slows enemies down and adds control over them. Plus certain enemies resist all physical damage types which Frostner mostly bypasses due to frost damage.

[smoky saddle]

Does frostner still hold up in Asslands or would it be better using the mistwalker or silver sword?

[tacit crystal]

In my experience, it does. It makes encountering multiple warriors at once more safe for example.

Swords are good options too.

[smoky saddle]

Nice. Its been a mainstay since the mountains for me, though I found more luck with the black metal sword in plains

[tacit crystal]

If there are small rivers between you and fuling village you might want to lure them at you, crossing the water and getting wet which makes them weak against frost damage.

[terse wagon]

Depends, large viaducts if you capture them all can net you 60-90 Iron, small ones can give you 20-30, I do this merely for a challenge, the viaducts are easy to take down.

Best way to make sure you get all of the materials back is to build wood floors to capture every drop. Large viaducts take about 3 stacks of wood to cover the radius, to preventing it from falling into the depths of the water

The only downtime you really have is sailing tolocating them, good part is they're spawned close to the water, make sure to bring portal mats.

When I play I used to go straight for troll armor, now it's basically hunting bears.

I still use trolls for first copper veins, I'll craft 1 bronze axe and upgrade forge / workbench, get fermenter and cultivator and after that go straight to mistlands. I'll use my bronze axe to take down the first viaduct. Once you have 2 Iron for the rest of the viaducts is use the stonecutter

Good part is viaducts , you don't have to smelt the iron bars. And you can find copper within the drops too but those have to be smelted

[shy python]

Yo chat, why spears have such short range? Since they are mostly long-ass sticks with sharp points, shouldnt they have far greater range than swords and axes?

[terse wagon]

The way they have us use spears is more like attacking with a knife downward thrust instead of forward thrust with both hands. This way you can use spear+shield combo, so it doesn't make the atgier obsolete as much

[nocturne wolf]

In alpha versions spears were specifically called throwing spears as they could only throw before secondary attacks were added. Now, the throw is on the secondary but the spear is still held the same way

just use a polearm if you want long reach, spears are still a useful and unique weapon without a giant hitbox

[terse wagon]

Yeah developera have given spears a more javelin-like weapon choice, similar to old roman era days, different skill cap

[swift elm]

I can feel the devs cooking something I'm excited for the next devblog

[shy python]

Where can i see devblogs?

Oh nvm, found 'em

[terse wagon]

They tend to post them in the #news channel

[shy python]

Yeah, that works too

[formal torrent]

Anyone on?

no one in lfg servers stays in my world they act like they wanna join then they just leave how do I get ppl to stay

[tacit crystal]

Some more details could help, like your timezone so you could find people who have similar daily routine with possible work, sleep time and else real life responsibilities.

Posting lfg messages in other channels can easily drown here between all other discussions.

[eager scroll]

how often does it rain in valheim?

[candid basalt]

Yes

[eager scroll]

im assuming that means alot then😭 thats good for me

[tacit crystal]

The weather is pre determined according to days.

[lone rampart]

Every time I want to build something.

[eager scroll]

is there any sorta forecast i could look at

[tacit crystal]

You could try this: https://jerekuusela.github.io/valheim-weather/

[eager scroll]

thanks

[barren whale]

yea fun fact valheim weather is perfectly forecastable
i wonder if anyone's ever planned like a speedrun around this

[nocturne wolf]

this looks like it hasn't been updated for a long time, it doesn't show varying environments in mistlands and ashlands

it's all ashrain and darklands dark

I don't think the darklands environent is even used now

[tacit crystal]

Ah, this might then be better: http://valheim.kirilloid.ru/weather#1

[high dune]

when do you think is the new update coming out?

[tacit crystal]

When it is ready.

[median ibex]

Probably on the release date.

[high dune]

Aha, I see.

[median ibex]

[high dune]

[steel mica]

It'd be hard because if speedrunners are doing random seed they'd have to just go for it and pray to god the locations they are going too are good

You can certainly work with the weather schedule with a set seed

But on a random seed ad not knowing where things are, just pray at that point

[odd flare]

Spent a few hours getting my finewood bow to lvl 3 before I start black forest, foraged for 300 fire arrows and 200 flints. Also trained my bow skill to 37. Almost died to a 2 start brute, but I found 4 burial chambers and pathed them all together. No copper yet unfortunately.
Sorry for ranting my hardcore no map experience, but this completely changed the game for me. Struggling to keep my bearings without my paths still, but I decided to play the coasts mostly, hoping what I need will be in eyes reach

[deft blaze]

You were so right, that fight was a blast

[candid basalt]

Ashlands can be a lot of fun. And a lot of rage.

[humble pewter]

No map is wierd, once you get used to it and learn to use the tree in the sky and the suns position you kinda just run around and manage to have a general sense of direction. Always a good idea to use the tree when sailing though, that can become crazy real fast otherwise 😄

[timber marsh]

just got to mistlands what magic items do i craft first

[odd flare]

Yeah. I've also been throwing map markers up on coastlines for direction to distant islands, and if I can keep my bearings the tips will point to each other.
I'm doing okay ish with the tree. It'll just take some time. I'm not rushing this playthrough, just taking my time staying fully stocked at all times

[timber marsh]

i would hardcore with no portals, but vikings did make maps...

[oblique zinc]

Wisplight

[timber marsh]

got that and mistwalker

what staff?

[oblique zinc]

Fracture

[timber marsh]

isnt that ashlands

[oblique zinc]

Is it ? Maybe. The fireball one

Frost is good just somewhat short range. Honestly good crossbow or bow for gjall

And stamina for jumping out of seekers way

[timber marsh]

better than just using frost arrows?

i had been using poison arrows on gjall

[oblique zinc]

It's press and hold so eitr dependant

[silk token]

no apologies i like hearing about first time no map experiences. can you see how no portal is going to fit well with it yet? you have all these paths and experiences through the world, and soon you’ll be using those paths to transport things, it gives the excuse to make more interesting paths or bridges and take your time and immerse more

[timber marsh]

i do like the idea of casting fireball...

is frost staff better in ashlands or

[oblique zinc]

I started new world with no map but portals and modded cartography table. Fun and immersive. Got lost once had to pop up a small house and spend a night cause it was raining so hard I couldn't see anything

[timber marsh]

eventually ill make them all

[silk token]

if you have good bow skill and frost arrows frost staff might be redundant, id say fire staff first for aoe options

[timber marsh]

someone said root is OP once maxed out?

[silk token]

the root staff is op immediately, increasing level doesnt effect damage to my knowledge

[timber marsh]

oh, thats ashlands

[oblique zinc]

It is certainly both defensive and offensive

[lone rampart]

Root ARMOR I think she means

[silk token]

idk what someone meant by it being op once maxed out.. staff doesnt increase damage, and armor is op cuz of the pierce resistance which also doesnt change…

[timber marsh]

yeah i kept a root armor on hand for the plains till i maxed out padded

ill go fire staff first since i already have everything

[tacit crystal]

Yes, damage output of roots only increase according to elemental magic skill level, upgrading the staff only increases durability and the damage of projectile.

[odd flare]

Yes I do and I'm glad I decided to keep it no portals, really fits with the experience. Also stayed hardcore, almost got 1 shot 1 time but it taught me how to key in my awareness really quick

[odd flare]

Once I find a copper vein, it'll be cart time

[silk token]

but even then the increase is the negligible impact of the spell, not the slappy roots

iirc?

[silk token]

omg hot take but carts are one of the best parts of the game.

[odd flare]

Yeah I watched a video of a guy loading up a boat with a bunch of carts and I'm excited to do it lol

[paper marsh]

I’ve never had to transport so much stuff that I needed carts on a boat

[silk token]

very hard is fun early on. personally i like very hard meadows, hard BF to plains, and normal ashlands for reasons involving parrying and staggering. i dont like hard mistlands only because bugs are way too hard to stagger and i dont get to have as much battleaxe fun.

[silk token]

haha omg that terrifies me though, it’s POSSIBLE to do that, but weight and balance matters you can tip everything over and ur screwed

[silk token]

same, you kind of learn to be a non-hoarder on no portal, like i know certain resources i only really NEED one stack of and i just stop gathering them, or gather more later, like you’ll get more blueberries wandering for the haldor or w/e

[timber marsh]

Our server is casual, no portals restrictions or raids because they like to randomly afk

we have brand new players, while some of us are in the mistlands.

If I was solo I'd do a hardcore no portal run

[tacit crystal]

Yes, the projectile damage increases when upgrading.

[timber marsh]

When a new player encounters a furling in the meadows now tho lol

[silk token]

yeah that makes it tough, wonder if there are mods to disable the random spawns from boss kills, thatd be good for big mixed servers

[timber marsh]

Eh, you can take them out with bronze just fine

[chrome badge]

I've spent the morning generating seeds to try and find a meadows biome directly attached to a mistlands biome, I am becoming convinced it isn't possible. 🙃

[timber marsh]

#screenshots message

[tacit crystal]

It's not possible: meadows reach only up to 5100m from center and Mistlands start to appear after 5900m.

[timber marsh]

oh wait that black forest

[chrome badge]

That's BF

[chrome badge]

Okay, that makes sense thanks Joel!

[timber marsh]

hmm, so theres one with both but not directly touching

[tacit crystal]

I remember when Mistlands appeared on map as similar looking forest as Black forest but grey. 👴

[chrome badge]

I guess my dream of a Mistlands/Plains/Meadows main base will need to be Black Forest instead.

[timber marsh]

yeah i got that all on one island but not all in one spot

[tacit crystal]

You'll have to bear some bigger neighbors than what you would have to in meadows.

[nocturne wolf]

not if its big enough

[chrome badge]

If what's big enough?

[nocturne wolf]

your base can cover all three biomes

[chrome badge]

My main base? Yeah I know, I just meant swapping out Meadows with Black Forest.

[inner knot]

bro what

[odd flare]

Yeah he commented that it took about 2.5 hours to get the balance right, then hit a wave and everything moved

[silk token]

hehe true, any weapon if you use the ancient art of walking-backwards-when-they-swing

[silk token]

thats a no thanks for me, wonder how many trips he coulda made in 2.5 hours lol

@tacit crystal you never replied about the axe video i sent you, was it that garbage or did the PM not go through?

[tacit crystal]

Huh, didn't notice from the message requests. But I saw your video as you posted it in #memes-and-clips.

Or well, I didn't see it at first since it was private at the beginning but then you seemingly changed it.

[silk token]

ohhh ya im a dingbat and it was private still when i linked it

[candid basalt]

Is a dingbat a new cave mob?

[inner knot]

@median harbor the windows i used for my build we're apart of the "finewood pieces" ... "FineWood Glass Window"

they have a couple different windows which are nice

[heavy sentinel]

hi people ! i'm new here ! who want to play with me .? c

[digital kindle]

how many times has anyone had to start from scratch whether its the dedicated server was left to die or any other reason? starting over is such a pain in the ASS

[tacit crystal]

Welcome, you can search for people in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1024264966712340510 👍

[heavy sentinel]

thank you

[merry pebble]

I usually start over once i go through the whole game and have an itching to play again from beginning 😄

[candid basalt]

I like starting over. Early game is fun

Especially with fire hazard on

[chrome badge]

I'm on my 8th playthrough, I enjoy most phases including early game.

[nocturne wolf]

if I start playing again I'll continue my mountains save because I've played through early game so much by doing this

early game is great though because it has necks

[grand juniper]

I wonder if they'll add horses

[candid basalt]

Vikings were well known for their horses after all

[nocturne wolf]

where would they be useful? we have lox already and every biome before plains has nothing to ride for or is difficult to ride through

[tacit crystal]

Horses are not making it into the game according to devs.

[digital kindle]

bro i havent even been able to get through swamp yet. its like fate is sayin nah no new content for you.

[merry pebble]

Swamps are the first big jump in difficulty indeed 😄 but if you will keep at it i am sure you will be able to conquer them.

[digital kindle]

no i mean the server has a cap before you can kill specific bosses. granted im taking my time but im being hard capped lol

most of my time is in building but im noticing a lot of cool stuff is locked until i progress

[merry pebble]

Oh, well, thats why i usually tell people to play normal solo game without mods or modifications first if possible... 😅

[grand juniper]

Vikings did use horses in combat, but they didn't have calvary like other armies

[steel mica]

Curious if the devs will do a count down for the release of 1.0

[lone rampart]

10…9….8….7….8….12….16….47…

[grand juniper]

I saw an article that said 1.0 was close. So I'm guessing or at least hoping .. MARCH

[candid basalt]

If i't is not from Irongate, don't believe any of that clickbait

[terse ember]

Is there a really good turret mod or is that already part of the game?? And the same thing with building structures if there’s a mod that add more varieties???

[sullen flame]

hello people

[merry pebble]

As Adipocere said, definetly wasnt from IronGate, so there is 0 value to taht article

[candid basalt]

Ballistas are part of the game yes

[terse ember]

Are they auto or manual?

[sullen flame]

i wanna see if anyone wants to do a playthrough?

[candid basalt]

Otherwise ask in #mods-discussion

[terse ember]

Bet

[merry pebble]

Your best bet would be #1024264966712340510 😄

[sullen flame]

good point lol

[candid basalt]

Ballistas are auto... and unless you set a target using a trophy they shoot EVERYTHING

[trail pelican]

and to be clear that INCLUDES the player IIRC

[split adder]

i need to build a sophisticated house

someone motivate me to do so

[lone rampart]

Go build a fancy house!

[smoky saddle]

10 surtling cores in one burial chambers

[merry pebble]

Nice 😄

[slate glacier]

excellent start

[smoky saddle]

Would be if we werent at the mistlands XD

But hey, itll be good for smelters and portals

[split adder]

do serpents spawned by rain ever despawn until killed

[merry pebble]

Rain spawned stay untill killed, yep

Night spawned despawn at dawn

[low warren]

i've played through this like 4+ times and i still look forward to chopping trees the next time

[split adder]

this serpent needs to stop running

[lone rampart]

I don’t spawn serpents

[split adder]

yummy meat time

[chilly dust]

Without debugmode or cheats in multiplayer how does every smash n pack everything for a server move? Good ol grit n time?

[split adder]

dang i have to play for over an hour to grow stuff

i want my serpent stew and sausages now

[low warren]

sleep it off

[copper karma]

What are you talking about?

[low warren]

presumably they want to tear down their base, storage, etc. and move it all to another server. ...which isn't a very common thing to ever do

[inner knot]

yeah ts made no sense whatsoever i didnt understand nothing u said

[smoky saddle]

Yeah time is all you need basically.

And chests. A metric ton of chests depending on how much stuff you have.

[paper marsh]

With how much a chest weighs with a few iron ingots in it, a metric ton is achieved quite swiftly

[split adder]

one chest

[odd finch]

its impossible to craft with the items on chests? devs dont have the tech yet?

[surreal isle]

they need to sell more merch before doing qol

devs love tedium and mundane activities like inventory management, it is what it is

[odd finch]

sadge

[split adder]

does sleep pass time on crops

[inner knot]

i would think so

[fossil delta]

Thats definitely a mod I will us e once I start modding.

[fossil delta]

Yes

[inner knot]

ive spent my first ever 6 hours on valheim building i think i need to explore now 🤔

[fossil delta]

Besides, you get better building options as you progress.

[inner knot]

i play with mods so i just build whatever as one of them unlocks everything , takes away some of the fun of progression yeah but having the creativity of a new game is crazy fun

ive never played something like this the building is all i wanna do lmao

[split adder]

does anyone know why my carrots arent growing

[mellow shadow]

Ah, finally could post my suggestion I made a couple days ago without getting Timed Out. 😅

[mellow shadow]

They're too close together? You have a roof above them?

[fossil delta]

What does it say when you put your cursor on them?

[split adder]

healthy

[fossil delta]

How long ago did you plant them, in game days?

[split adder]

no idea but i think at least 3

[fossil delta]

Well, since they are healthy, you just haven't waited long enough. So they should be ready in another game day or two.

I forget how many days it takes. I don't pay attention, I just go off and do stuff, like mining copper and tin, gathering other food mats, etc... I just look at them every so often until I can harvest them. Paying attention to the time just drives me nuts.

[split adder]

i finally found a ghost

it took i think at least 10 burial chambers

twig time

now i can farm an unnecessary amount of mace levels while waiting for my carrots to grow

[mellow shadow]

I did exactly the same.

TWIG for mace training. lmao

[split adder]

it is time for friend

at least once i get finewood

[fossil delta]

I also use TWIG for swords. Plus you can upgrade the wood sword to lvl2. No idea if it does any good, but it is the only one we can upgrade.

[mellow shadow]

Great! My suggestion is breaking the record of "most 👎 per hour" 😭 👌

[paper marsh]

They made a choice not to implement it, from my understanding

[lone rampart]

Oh there've been far worse.

[split adder]

serpent meat can be eaten with serpent stew right

[mellow shadow]

Do you think my suggestion is really that bad? 😂
It just feels like it fits the game’s theme and lore. I thought doing something visual and tangible could add surprise and emotion.

I was inspired by games like Final Fantasy VI, where Shadow dreams about Clyde (his past self), and Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, where Alucard has that nightmare with his mother saying horrible things, and it turns out to be a succubus.

[mellow shadow]

Apparently you can make 2 great dishes with it. I find it incredibly annoying all that effort for it. I tried killing it and it went away.

[raven dagger]

So. I started a world with Raids at max frequency.

15 days in, no Raid has happened.

Is there a prerequisite for Raids I am unaware of?

[inner knot]

#mods-screenshots message

[lone rampart]

I'm not unenthusiastic about the idea, I think it's very cool! I just don't know if it fits the devs' vision for the game, or how I would feel about it if I was just trying to rest up before a big boss fight or something.

[mellow shadow]

You can just cancel the prompt. All dream events would have an option to not enter if you don’t feel like it.

I just think having an alternative way to find or create a better weapon or piece of armor (if you're lucky) helps break the monotony of mining and smelting.

So far the only complete weapons I've found are the wooden ones. lmao

[paper marsh]

Basically just gotta be at your base. If you're rarely at home (which I feel like is the case early on) not many raids will happen

[raven dagger]

I sleep through nights, when do I have to be there for it to trigger?

[paper marsh]

Random times. Basically on normal settings its something like every 46 minutes the game will check to see if you are in your base (technically, near three "base" buildings, such as a workbench, chest, bed, torch, campfire, etc.)

If you're not, no raid. If you are, 20% chance of raid triggering

If cranking up raid modifier, it's 67% chance every 14 minutes. Still checking for if in base

[raven dagger]

Ah… so I need to be spending time processing things and expanding the base

Good to know, good to know.

[tawny root]

any news when the final biome, deep north will be released?

[mellow shadow]

World Modifiers >> Presets >> Immersive
In immersive mode you have no map and you may not use portals. You will need to use your own wits to track of where you are in the world! Other difficulty settings are normal.
In English, the word “may” is ambiguous and not 100% disabling, right? Does it mean there’s a chance to use portals under some conditions? 🤔

[split adder]

is it bad that bonemass just took me like 20 minutes to kill

[tacit crystal]

When it's ready, no timeline is given yet.

[tacit crystal]

It means they're disabled.

[mellow shadow]

This game mode is calling my name like a moth to a flame. I’m doomed. But I'll wait for the official release v1.0 (Achievements)

[split adder]

why does odin send us here to kill his enemies

cant he just go kill them himself

[odd finch]

you were using arrows right :/

[silk token]

(whispers to odin) he's asking the dangerous questions... what do we do?

[lone rampart]

-# do we take the shot sir?

[silk token]

not yet... let him serve us a little longer, his suspicions have not yet blossomed

[lone rampart]

Very well, then. ...We could always let a tree do it for us. Make it look like an accident.

[odd finch]

yeap, they are really stubborn to qol

[silk token]

agh, no one would believe someone would be that stupid. just use a 2 star drauger archer like we usually do.

[hasty citrus]

Why hasn’t there been a word for the devs in a couple months

[hasty citrus]

Did you mean in chests? As in proximity crafting?

[odd finch]

Yep, so far only with mods :/

[hasty citrus]

Oooh

[odd finch]

At least devs are bending with SOME qol like inventory and equipment slots

[hasty citrus]

Yeah I honestly don’t know how it’s not a thing yet.

[surreal isle]

vision tm

[surreal isle]

they should take some notes with enshrouded devs asap

[hasty citrus]

Are they adding equipment slots? I am shocked I’ve wanted it for so long it’s awful how it takes inventory space. Also with the new areas bigger inventory space is needed

[surreal isle]

but they are busy selling merch

[odd finch]

they are inclined to do something regarding inventory, god knows what

[hasty citrus]

Where did they say that

[surreal isle]

i see this today, gimme amin

[hasty citrus]

Wdym

[odd finch]

https://youtu.be/kFN6edORMiE?t=510

[surreal isle]

slow updates, not enough transparency and stubborn decisions

[hasty citrus]

I’m fine with slow development I just think they need to listen to fans more. There are a lot of features I really want but it’s annoying how they won’t bend

[surreal isle]

ensrhouded devs walk the other way around

constant updates, listen to feedback, lots of qol

[hasty citrus]

I’ve been plying since legacy release on steam

[surreal isle]

same

[odd finch]

those devs are a dif breed

they are really good with community feedback and updates pace

[surreal isle]

exactly

[hasty citrus]

They have got to add some sailing improvements. So many people cope but it really needs some variety or enemies or fishing

[surreal isle]

been playing since week 1 and i just ignore sailing the best i can, unless im forced too

been using teleport ores mod till they decided to add the option to

[hasty citrus]

Weapon type reworks, greater ore drops, boss altar spawn generation tweaks (make biomes larger and more likely to have them in sick of finding microscopic mountains

[hasty citrus]

I don’t do teleport ores cuz it feels a little too cheaty. I just stock up a full boat of ore and take it back

[surreal isle]

i cant be bothered, i just hate sailing in this game, feels like a waste of time, a lot of decisions feels like they dont respect your time tbh

i would gladly sail if it was more fun or engaging

is just boredom

[hasty citrus]

I can respect that

[odd finch]

same, i just cant

[raven dagger]

Same. I can handle sailing somewhere once.

No more.

[odd finch]

its fine for 1 time or 2, the third i begin to question myself

[raven dagger]

Also, I’m irrationally terrified of Sea Serpents.

[hasty citrus]

I think boats need to be significantly faster and have a greater capacity. Alongside stuff to do while sailing.

[surreal isle]

that would make it 100x better

[hasty citrus]

Also maybe this is just me but dragon eggs are stupidly heavy for no reason

[surreal isle]

faster and engaging, thats it, i will do it

but now im just looking at my screen pressing awds

for some good minutes

[mellow shadow]

HAHAHA The Obliterator HAS A LEVER you need to pull!! I just found out. 😭 🫳 🧠

[hasty citrus]

Maybe adding passive fish nets, ocean fishinf

[surreal isle]

did you seen his youtube link?

[surreal isle]

holy shit that was on august

cmon bro LOL

[odd finch]

told ya

[hasty citrus]

Yes

There is a pattern of caring more about their idea of the valheim experience rather than what’s fun to the fans

Thanks

[surreal isle]

sadly... i mean they talked about acknowledging inventory problems in august

how hard is to do something about it lol

[hasty citrus]

It’s extremely easy

I still don’t know how people defend ore drop rates. Grinding iron is a miserable experience especially if you get a small swamp and have to sail across the globe

Oh no

I don’t mean to be rude to the devs. I really do respect them

[wet wolf]

most iron comes from chests not muddy piles

[hasty citrus]

They have made a beautiful game I just think they have a hard time changing their baby (valheim) for the fans rather what they like

[hasty citrus]

wat

[surreal isle]

it took them years to do a simple thing like press X button to stack items

so yeah...

[hasty citrus]

Oof

Hopefully 1.0 isn’t the end. The game is great but I think it could be a masterpiece with more love

[surreal isle]

agreed

[wet wolf]

they said they aren't gonna add much after 1.0 so hopefully 1.0 comes with some QoL stuff

[chrome badge]

That's not true

They will continue to support and develop Valheim beyond 1.0, we just don't know what shape that takes

[surreal isle]

if they release 1.0 without some basic qol that any respectful survival game has i will kick the chair

[wet wolf]

they said no more progression updates

[chrome badge]

That doesn't mean "We aren't going to add much" though.

[hasty citrus]

I got the impression post 1.0 content would be very minimal. I really want chitin to have more uses, and more in depth areas. I still think the mountains are very underwhelming

[odd finch]

mountains are ass

[hasty citrus]

The stone guy doesn’t drop anything good and is a huge nuisance. And the dungeons are not really worth checking out. I also think wishbone should be a character upgrade rather than an accessory. I feel like it would work better as a constant buff

[chrome badge]

What gave you that impression? The developer literally stated that Valheim is the type of game to be worked on forever.

[surreal isle]

it will be forever if they keep this pace

[odd finch]

LMFAO

[chrome badge]

5 years is impressive for this size of a team, but I'll forgive the lack of knowledge here.

[surreal isle]

size of the team is irrelevant to me, idk why i would care, been playing since week 1

[chrome badge]

Because you care enough to comment on development speed?

[odd finch]

yeah, size of the team is a studio problem

[surreal isle]

yes?

[chrome badge]

If you don't care, then don't comment?

[surreal isle]

i care to comment, their updates are slow, fix it, be better

[hasty citrus]

Just the tone and comments idk

[odd finch]

its funny how people talk like "team budget" studio sizes, things that are none of our business, we are consumers, thats irrelevant

[chrome badge]

Imagine sitting back and spouting off like this, link me to your game nephew.

[surreal isle]

exactly, its just this simple, idc

[wet wolf]

it is relevant when talking about update speed tho

[surreal isle]

they are more worried about selling merch lol

[odd finch]

sure, and its on their end to fix, consumers doesnt need to know about your excuses

[chrome badge]

I'm fully relaxed no worries.

[wet wolf]

it's not always something they can fix tho hiring 100 people updates would still take time

[chrome badge]

Nothing needs fixing, that's just a bad take..

[odd finch]

updates could be way faster, this game still lack A LOT of basic qol that any garage survival game has, dev talk about understaind inventory issues like half a year ago lmao

[surreal isle]

how long you think it takes to add inventory or do something about it, its too complicated kekw

[chrome badge]

It's early access, not a released game, the trajectory is extremely different, and the public are essentially a large testing group during this phase.

[hasty citrus]

What’s going on

[wet wolf]

tbf the inventory has been a problem since like mistlands

[odd finch]

how long people are complaining about inventory? like 2-3 years? and they just said "we get it" like half a year ago, and still nada? lol?

[mellow shadow]

What's the problem with the inventory?

[surreal isle]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kFN6edORMiE

thats summarise

[wet wolf]

later in the game your inventory gets full super fast

[chrome badge]

Right, because it's not something that needs fixing, it's a feedback based decision.

[mellow shadow]

I feel it hasn't changed since the last time I played, like 3 - 4 years ago (?)

[odd finch]

when you as a dev come up and tell "yeah guys, this need to be changed, we gotta it" and been half a year and still nothing, sure

[surreal isle]

and thats the issue

[mellow shadow]

Well, it's true that it gets full super fast, but also you get max capacity limit 450/450 super fast too.

[wet wolf]

they might listen we dont know what they are gonna add yet

[chrome badge]

It's likely already changed on their end, you're just not used to dealing with small teams in early access I'm assuming.

[surreal isle]

we are talking inventory not weigh

[chrome badge]

They're already adjusting the inventory and have addressed it, so that question is pointless.

[odd finch]

idk, do you think enshrouded team is gigantic? because iron gate could learn A LOT with them

[mellow shadow]

There's a correlation. And expanding the inventory, means needing more weight capacity.

[surreal isle]

no? multiple valuable drops that start dropping on ashlands/mistlands weight barely nothing lol

[wet wolf]

they are a small team so stuff takes time to add and tbh most the ideas people give are bad or dont fit valheim

[mellow shadow]

So you're talking specifically for end game.

Or future late game.

[chrome badge]

They have 75 team members on staff, compared to Valheim's 10.. yes I do.

[surreal isle]

no, talking about the whole game, inventory is annoying since black forest lmao, only more "hardcore" players admit that is TERRIBLE on endgame

[chrome badge]

Brother, you'll be alright, life goes on

[wet wolf]

it's mostly an issue later in the game cause you need more inventory items later

[odd finch]

well, that long with only 10 ppl? ig they need to sell more tshits, but again, not my problem

[wet wolf]

it's a problem that would be fixed if they added armor slots

[mellow shadow]

Players in general seem to be wanting / needing dense QoL updates more than content.

[chrome badge]

It's a problem if you're reacting negatively tbf

[surreal isle]

bro, stop bending this hard, devs are not reading you

[chrome badge]

I don't have to respond to a simple question? Alright I'll just let you float along in ignorance, my bad.

[odd finch]

mission impossible

[chrome badge]

I'm just making sure chat isn't drowning in bad takes tbh

[odd finch]

exactly, this game is out for a LONG time and still dont has BASIC qol

[chrome badge]

What is that supposed to mean?

[surreal isle]

bad takes that even dev admitted? sure bud, cya

[odd flare]

Snowed in for the weekend. After tomorrow....so this mapless hardcore run is going to be PGd like crazy

[odd finch]

gulp gulp gulp

[surreal isle]

gulp gulp

[chrome badge]

I'm chillin, I just got here

[odd flare]

Also, what do y'all think is the best biome to make a full stone castle

[wet wolf]

mountain or a small island in the ocean

[odd flare]

Where I was leading. But some of the meadows biomes with the rolling hills between 2 forests sounded like a good option too

[mellow shadow]

Life in Valheim would be so much more enjoyable if there were a body interface to keep your equipped items, freeing up space in your general inventory.

[chrome badge]

The developers put out feelers about inventory size not long ago, it's likely going to come alongside Deep North if we don't get an update in the meantime.

I just hope it's not backpacks personally.

[mellow shadow]

I'm watching the video shared, and that SnazzyGames also explains the same idea as a possible solution.

[chrome badge]

It's a fairly basic solution, I just think screen clutter is a concern.

[wet wolf]

i doubt it would be backpacks

[mellow shadow]

How many times do you often swap your equipment?

[abstract gust]

do you know if someone on the team has terminal cancer?

[chrome badge]

What does that have to do with anything?

[mellow shadow]

Like main weapon, off-hand, torso, pants, helmet (an option to toggle helmet visually on and off)?

[abstract gust]

you said the updates are slow because they only have 10 people, correct?

but they sold 12 million copies, and they still only have 10 people? with slow updates? are they flippin crypto or something?

[mellow shadow]

That wouldn’t interfere with other things like tools in the quick slots.

[chrome badge]

Slower than the team at Keen Games absolutely.

[abstract gust]

something is off

more than 12m copies*

[surreal isle]

LMFAO

[chrome badge]

What are you talking about? There is zero correlation.

[abstract gust]

so its a choice to have such a small team with such a hit

specially that looking at valheim, you can see it doesnt cost a fortune to build

[chrome badge]

Absolutely, you can keep all of them on salary with one hit for years.

[abstract gust]

so.... your argument fall flat

[chrome badge]

I still don't understand what point you're making here.

It all makes perfect sense.

[abstract gust]

that your "small dev team please understand" point is a joke

its a choice to have such a small team when you made such a bank

[chrome badge]

It's really not, this small team put something together that is reaching millions of players, and they chose to keep their team small so that funds can be used appropriately during development.

The idea that if someone has a lot of money they should use it all at once is pretty childish and lacking in foresight.

You're suggesting putting more people on payroll at a studio that has one game.

That's so silly.

Yes, that means they have a good future, not to jump the shark.

there's also been a big update a few months ago

[mellow shadow]

I think it’s a legitimate topic, and people are clearly concerned about inventory QoL, especially since the latest news says they won’t be doing any major updates after Deep North. And since they’ve already acknowledged the issue, there’s a chance something inventory-related could come with the Deep North update.
