valheim-chat

[tough mulch]

definitely just armor and wearables

we wont be able to switch weapons fast otherwise

[abstract warren]

I'm asking to have what I wear on my character actually worn on my character. Not in my so-called inventory (wherever it's supposed to be)

I know a game is a game and we can't expect it to be 100% realistic but this really is a most basic feature every single RPG has. Even Minecraft.

And for some reason the Valheim Devs refused to make

[heady parcel]

The upside is unprecendented freedom on how to organise your inventory. Downside is just the number of available slots, when it all boils down to it. If they add a row to inventory? Fine. If they add dedicated slots? Fine. I don't really care either way. Dedicated slots is a standard solution for most games so it would make sense - but it would kinda break the simplicity of the interface. At the end of the day it is up to the devs what they wanna do.

[lapis badger]

Wow this update is great! I get like actually 30 fps more than before in certain areas

[tough mulch]

That big of an improvement?

[lapis badger]

yes, in my base it went from avg. 50 fps to 75-80

[abstract warren]

It can be done in a very simple way. As I mentioned even Minecraft has this... A game that thrived because of its ultra simplicity

[grave radish]

i think that freedom of choice is the best usually and i think that they could simply make it a toggle setting for armor/trinket slots so the ppl that want that can have it and ppl who prefer the current system can have that

edit: like they did with portal restrictions

[frigid anvil]

minority opinion, I think we should have a smaller inventory 😂

[tough mulch]

Burn the heretic!

[frigid anvil]

it would make it more interesting to balance armor/food/tools/resources you gather

[abstract warren]

What portal restrictions

[tough mulch]

Put it on an inventory modifier cause I ain't having non of that

[grave radish]

carrying metals through portals

[abstract warren]

Right

[grave radish]

tbf ppl who got the game on steam can just mod it to their liking

[tough mulch]

Workshop when

[frigid anvil]

man I gotta get into pc gaming

but it's so hard to shift over

[thorn citrus]

okay so

[green reef]

the world settings should allow metals through portals?

[steel mica]

That would be chaos honestly

[tough mulch]

Its already a choice option in modifiers

[thorn citrus]

the new early axes are only found inside the little towers in the meadows or in all meadows structures ?

[grave radish]

i did it 2 years ago and im never looking back

[thorn citrus]

cuz I can't find any in the other structures

[tough mulch]

Lil towers and lil huts, you want me to throw you a seed that has guaranteed spawn closeby?

Took me a while to find one where both structures are very close to spawn

[steel mica]

They're decently rare but they can be found in building2 and building0 (wow such a helpful name lol)

[tough mulch]

Guaranteed axe heads inside too

[frigid anvil]

yeahhh for me it's just a money thing

[sacred pawn]

I swear one of my friends is using cheats on valhiem

[steel mica]

elaborate my friend

[tough mulch]

Aka, broken wood tower thing one with a chest, and normal meadow huts that spawn chest

[frigid anvil]

I doubt I could find a decent pc for less than $1600, which I don't really have to spend

[sacred pawn]

I just cant prove it, whenever he is around three star deer spawn, and he is always building without needing to get resources

I mean two star

[frigid anvil]

you can turn off build cost now

[grave radish]

i tried getting some used parts that definitely helps but pc parts aint cheap🥶

[sacred pawn]

this is on my server

[frigid anvil]

oh hmm I see

[sacred pawn]

I have it on

[tough mulch]

Nawh, with ram prices you might have to increas that price

[frigid anvil]

I'd looked around at some mid-low line things at Best Buy and things were sitting around $1600

[sacred pawn]

not too mention whenever he is in a dark forest three star trolls spawn

Idk if there are even cheats on valhiem tho

[frigid anvil]

like about two week ago

[steel mica]

@sacred pawn What other modification did you do for your world?

[sacred pawn]

the only modification is fire spread on

[frigid anvil]

WEEKS, not years 😭 today has been a long day

[tough mulch]

If only I can send gif, I would send the perfect one

[steel mica]

Building cost?

[sacred pawn]

on

you have to have the resources

[frigid anvil]

is there a mod for valheim that lets me play as hatsune miku 🙏

[tough mulch]

I wouldn't be surprised if there was

[sacred pawn]

whenever I play with him random stuff happens

[tough mulch]

I did see an anime girl mod afterall

[sacred pawn]

and not too mention when I asked him to stream he said Give me a minute

[steel mica]

Idk about the deer one could just be lucky encounters

[sacred pawn]

despite not being in a battle

ik thats not that bad

[steel mica]

The troll one though

[sacred pawn]

also I swear I saw him use a console

like a really quick switch thing

[tough mulch]

Ive only ever seen a 2 star troll appear once

[frigid anvil]

I don't think I've seen even 1 star troll

[sacred pawn]

idk if it was a glitch

[steel mica]

3starred enemies... dont exist in vanilla valheim

[tough mulch]

Try the love potion from the bog witch

[uncut pecan]

Am I bad person if I gift this game to my friend? He's always asking me if I want to play some modded DayZ, so I want to gift this game to him as a reminder for the next time he asks me.

[tough mulch]

It spawns 1 star trolls for you

[flat stag]

What is "patterns of the bear"? It looks like a necklace - I am confused

[sacred pawn]

I meant 2 star

Im just use to saying three star

[tough mulch]

Same, technically it is 3star according to the devcommands

[sacred pawn]

ah

[light moat]

It’s a chest piece

[steel mica]

The tweaks is a bit...

[tough mulch]

Alright, there might be a way to prove he is cheating

[steel mica]

I cant contain my laughter honestly

[sacred pawn]

how

[tough mulch]

Just ask him this, "can you find me a two star boar near spawn"

[sacred pawn]

alr

[tough mulch]

If he finds it, know he is lying

[flat stag]

thanks - weird that it looks like a necklace...

[tough mulch]

Remember it has to be near spawn

[sacred pawn]

can they not spawn near the spawn?

[tough mulch]

Just make a pigsty there and convince him or something

[tough mulch]

Nope

[sacred pawn]

ah

[steel mica]

They dont start spawning up until like 1000m away from the center

or 1500m

[tough mulch]

800m

[sacred pawn]

I also did a thing with shapes to try and recreate the console I saw

[steel mica]

correction ty

[frigid anvil]

Bog witch?

[tough mulch]

I learned this after spending days runninf around for that 2star boar

[frigid anvil]

Dunno what that is lol

[sacred pawn]

Is it alright if I send you what the console looked like?

[tough mulch]

Oh its a merchant npc similar to haldor

[sacred pawn]

like genuinly its ruining the fun of my server

[tough mulch]

You can send it, but just know im clueless af to what the console would be doing

[sacred pawn]

alr

[frigid anvil]

there are npcs???

lmfao I haven't encountered any

[tough mulch]

Freshmeat?

[frigid anvil]

I haven't met anything not trying to kill me besides deer

[sacred pawn]

crow

[tough mulch]

Eh if luck is on your side you will find them, just need to pay attention to the map for suddenly appearing icons

[frigid anvil]

oh right, huginn

[frosty anchor]

3..

[frigid anvil]

tbh I forgot about him lol

[tough mulch]

The crow is sending me to my death

[sacred pawn]

or just crows

Leviathans

[frigid anvil]

yeah I gotta do more exploring

[sacred pawn]

they are freindly

[frigid anvil]

I need to find more mountains

[frigid anvil]

that doesn't sound very friendly tbh

[tough mulch]

They are a bit of a distance from spawn so

[sacred pawn]

they are

they are friendly

[tough mulch]

Ive seen the underwater pics, they kinda cute

[frigid anvil]

I've found three, but none of them have anything on them

two of them didn't even spawn wolves ever

[tough mulch]

3 what?

[sacred pawn]

you can get Chitin from Leviathans

[frigid anvil]

three mountains

sorry, I'm not sure who you were responding to

[paper marsh]

Gotta look for some big big mountains

The taller the better

(Oh wait if looking for traders the yeah mountains don’t matter)

[tough mulch]

They arent on the mountains thats for sure, one spawns in the dark forest, another in the swamp

[sacred pawn]

I found the alleged cheat thing

[tough mulch]

Are we talking about npcs?

[paper marsh]

What’s the alleged cheat thing?

[tough mulch]

He has suspicions of cheating in his server

[frigid anvil]

sorry, I was talking about both

[sacred pawn]

SK toolbox

[frigid anvil]

that I need to explore to find more mountains, and I might as well keep an eye out for traders as well

[tough mulch]

Again They appear on the map as Icons, very hard to miss

You can easily find them by sailing near the edges of large islands in DF regions or swamp

[tough mulch]

So its confirmed?

[sacred pawn]

yes

[tough mulch]

Well.. Its a hard choice

[sacred pawn]

I also have a video of a Leviathan spawning on our boat, and items I have not unlocked yet being craftable in my inventory

which also happened to everyone else

[tough mulch]

Crazy

[frigid anvil]

ngl I read DF as Dwarf Fortress

It's been a long day 😭

[tough mulch]

Oh those, they are somewhere else

[sacred pawn]

I have downloaded it

On r2modman

I will see what I can do on a private world

[tough mulch]

Well... Ggs

[sacred pawn]

yep

thats it thats the exact UI

[tough mulch]

What now that you know

[sacred pawn]

and I can spawn in enitities

hmmmmmm

i dont wanna ban him but like

he is ruining the fun

[tough mulch]

It is indeed a hard choice

[sacred pawn]

Imma ban him

[balmy plank]

The problem with cheaters is that they tend to be bad friends. 🙁

[tough mulch]

I cheat in my private world, am I bad friend :(

[tough mulch]

I stand by this dicision

[sacred pawn]

idk how to ban him but like im gonna change the password

[hard sluice]

google ai told me this : To ban a player in Valheim, you must be a server admin. Press F5 to open the console, type devcommands (if not already done), and use the command ban [name/ip/userID] to ban a player. Alternatively, you can directly add a player's SteamID64 to the bannedlist.txt file in your server config folder.

[tough mulch]

I trust this like, about 35%

[sacred pawn]

alr

[tough mulch]

Google ai is funky

[sacred pawn]

idk tho

I like the idea of changing the password

[rare lichen]

Its usually not worth tolerating people who cause others to be discomfortable
Its relatively normal for people to troll each other in Valheim especially if your playing with people you havent played with before
If somebody is causing you trouble, just be respectful, move on, somebody else will come

To ban somebody, you must be an admin on the server. You can do it in game and they will get kicked and added to ban list.
Alternatively you can add them manually to the servers banlist and then restart the server.
or you can just change your password.

[sacred pawn]

it feels more personal

[tough mulch]

Honestly changing password works only if you trust everyone else not to share

[sacred pawn]

nah man I've known this guy since 2017

[hard sluice]

google ai has been pretty bad when telling me about valheim, i wont lie.
but this looks reliable. maybe confidently wrong, though.

[sacred pawn]

I think next time I go to his house I'l talk to him

[paper marsh]

If you trust him to be reaosnable probably just talk to him

[rare lichen]

Hes probably just messing with you in that case...
There are many many mods that allow users to use devcommands and cheat 🙁 Very easy to do
There are absolutely cheats in Valheim jajajaja

[tough mulch]

If he can be reasoned I would send a warning first and find an anti cheat mod ti be safe

[hard sluice]

i dont think i would trust him again, to be honest...

[rare lichen]

If he is your friend then you should communicate with him directly 🙂

[sacred pawn]

👍 he probably can be reasoned with, I know he had good intentions cos he is trying to help us

[tough mulch]

Hmm anti cheat might be hard but maybe a mod with inventory view for everyone

[sacred pawn]

but like its ruining the fun, we have come across SEVEN 2 star trolls

[fleet flame]

Ts game is hytale but worse bro

[sacred pawn]

spawning is not that high

[tough mulch]

Thats crazy definitely a cheat

Fcking hell in my 300hrs Ive only found one

[hard sluice]

i think i saw 2 or 3 in my 1500 hrs

[rare lichen]

Ive met those types before, they often try to make "fun things" and they find it hilarious, but the other players get bothered and it hurts other people's experience

[sacred pawn]

the whole troll thing is what made me suspicous

[rare lichen]

It is impossible for there to be 7 2 star trolls in the same area in vanilla Valheim as far as I know

[sacred pawn]

I have actually come across 2 two star trolls within a different group of friends

[merry pebble]

Well, not impossible, but extremely hard to get all of them at once there 😄

[sacred pawn]

but he had spawn rates really high

also he sucks with using computers

[hard sluice]

its rarely the best players who end up cheating..

[tough mulch]

Wait, just to clarify, two star trolls as in it has 2 stars on its head or you mean it in devcommand lingo as in 2star = 1 star in reality

[sacred pawn]

2 stars on its head

[tough mulch]

Just to be sure

[tough mulch]

Im bad but I limit myself to exploits at most

[hard sluice]

(i have no issue with cheating on single player mode.)

[sacred pawn]

oh thats completly fine

[sleek sky]

what exactly is the point of cheating in 7 2 star trolls? make a no go zone in the BF? 🤨

[sacred pawn]

testing builds is great with cheats

[balmy plank]

Only to yourself, but I'm sure you'll forgive you.

[tough mulch]

Probably thought it was funny

[tough mulch]

I dont forgive myself, I will remember this grudge

[hard sluice]

ngl, i like fighting those 2 stars trolls, especially with early gear. it makes me feel very powerful :b
stab, stab, roll, repeat

[sleek sky]

i mean itd be funnier if they spawned it at like the elder spawn alter or something

[rare lichen]

Players do that to mess with new players who dont recognize that they are spawning things

[sleek sky]

but random part of the forest just sounds like an issue

[rare lichen]

It could also be caused by a mod like CLLC and some other mods that can adjust spawn rates
Valheim is client side so if you are in their chunk, things can spawn based on their client mod, even on a vanilla server

[sacred pawn]

but how can they do that ON my server?

[tough mulch]

SK toolbox allows players to cheat on servers even without admin perms

[rare lichen]

They can download mods that dont require them to have devcommands and then they can do wahtever they want

[tough mulch]

Google AI said so

[steel mica]

And yet alot of people like it

[sleek sky]

frickin cogsuckers

[steel mica]

I play both

[tough mulch]

Hows hytale, does it live it up to its title

[rare lichen]

The only way to actually stop people from being able to cheat in multiplayer Valheim is to force a modpack on them sadly
Unless you know they are crossplay xbox players, then they cant access the cheating mods

[sleek sky]

is SeaofNoodles a cheating mod? 🤔

[hard sluice]

to me, playing valheim is like when i was playing diablo1 , an eternity ago. Its easy to cheat, so you have to assume that others will cheat, unless you know them well and trust them.

[sacred pawn]

we only have laptops

[steel mica]

Still contains a ton of bugs but yes the hytale is worth it if you prefer the minecraft-ish style and bosses with lore

In terms of progression its quite similar, from stone > copper > iron > etc

Atm my farthest is Iron age

[tough mulch]

As is its too expensive for me so im just waiting for release down the line. Besides I have other games that are coming soon, DRG roguecore/Kyora

[steel mica]

Its worth it if you have the extra mons and time to play another good survival game

[rare lichen]

Ah yeah. Then hes probably just using a tooler mod. Most of them arent necessarily for cheating, but some of them are. Unfortunately there are loads of them, not even just 1 or 2. It sounds like your best bet is talking to your friend and communicating with him how you feel. If afterwards he moves against you and you feel uncomfortable then just dont play Valheim with him anymore

[tough mulch]

Ill stick to valhiem for now till I get tired of it

I think Ill last about 200-300 more hours before I get bored

[rare lichen]

Its not intended to be, it ups serpent rates.
But yeah, if you use that and are chunk owner, then you can cause there to be more serpents, without other players knowing you did it

[sleek mauve]

||what is the best weapon from the plains to fight the seekers, before you get any mistlands weapons?||

[tough mulch]

What you seek is in the mountains not the plains

[sleek sky]

right, but how much of a "cheat" is that in practice?

[sleek mauve]

||frostnir?||

[tough mulch]

Its more of a trolling than cheating if you ask me

[tough mulch]

Yeap

[sleek sky]

my experience with it is instead of 1 serpent spawning its 2 and they spawn during the day, its a pretty minor change lmao. just makes getting the meat easier really

[fossil delta]

I do great with the BM sword as my main weapon, in Mistlands. Then Mistwalker and Silver Sword in Ashlands, depending on the mob you are fighting.

[sleek mauve]

i already have that and was just wondering if theres smth better. but it seems its a skill issue then

[fossil delta]

Skill does help. It increases damage up to 141% I believe.

[sleek sky]

parrying helps

[rare lichen]

People argue for all of eternity what constitutes cheating and what doesnt
Even without console commands xD
Its just a matter of perspective right?

[sleek mauve]

well yes but sadly i fell down and into 5 enemies

[sleek sky]

i guess thats true. not that i play on servers so it doesnt even matter

[sleek sky]

run at that point ig

[rare lichen]

In my head cheating is "knowingly going against the intention of the people you play with"

[hard sluice]

i think more sea serpent is an unfair advantage. (not that much of a big deal, but its 'cheating')

[sleek sky]

unfair how? just that the serpent meat is easier to get thus better food? (assuming not in mistlands)

[hard sluice]

cooked sea serpent meat+ serpent stew is a very very good food, even up to mistlands

its balanced by the time it takes to get them and the rarity*.

[dark coyote]

the balance is quality with rarity, you are modifying one of those

[sleek sky]

good point, very valid

[fossil delta]

Depends. I could spend hours sailing and get 10 stacks of serpent food. Or do a cheat and spend much less time getting a similar amount of food. If your like me and retired, thats cheating. If you have to work, raise a family, etc... save time where you can, imo.

[steel mica]

👍

[sleek sky]

what about the DuelWielder mod? last i checked the new one is client side so im wondering where that stands on the "cheating" scale

[rare lichen]

Well said 🙂

[rare lichen]

It all depends on how you feel and your players. A lot of Valheim players would feel like "Why can he do that" and might feel fussy if they hear its from a mod, it gets confusing for them keeping track of whats in the new game and whats mods
But on my server if somebody did that then, people would go "Woah whats that mod I want to try it"
Its all relative 😉

[green reef]

you even have a setting in game to reduce the grind if you want. and increase resources.

[hard sluice]

in the end, the admin decide whats a cheat or not, i guess.
if the players are hiding it though, thats a different story

[fossil delta]

Now. Thats relatively new.

[sleek sky]

im gonna hide my insanely broken ui mod that shows me my weight outside of my inventory 😏

[rare lichen]

Or *increase * the grind 😂

[split adder]

is the krom good on the queen

[fossil delta]

Should be,, its slashing.

[hard sluice]

i think the queen is resistant to all phys dmg type. correct me someone if i'm wrong.

[fossil delta]

Really? She seems to go down pretty quickly with my sword.

[shy marlin]

it's prolly the best melee weapon

[hard sluice]

yeah my bad. i'm recalling bad infos i received in the past.
the 1st people who helped me in valheim were a lot more noob than i thought they were xD
they gave me a bunch of bad infos.

[sleek sky]

so why are 2handed swords and battleaxes considered the "best" melee weapons?

[green reef]

I'm assuming 0.5 rounds down to 1 in most cases? just halves things when you'd normally get 2 or more?

[split adder]

its a giant sword

[fossil delta]

I can use Demolisher around her all day long, and she might go down, eventually. Her mobs, though, they are squishy.

[split adder]

why wouldnt it be the best melee weapon

[sleek sky]

idk why is it better than like normal sword and shield or duel wield axes or knives or really anything else

i find the animation to be slow sometimes or not hit multiple targets?

[abstract warren]

Sure. But some things shouldn't require mods. And then we can enjoy the game with those features when the mods become temporarily unavailable (like now).

[green reef]

the slower the weapon the more important it is to hit with every strike?

[fossil delta]

They can be better against large numbers of foes, but I find it hard to believe they are the best against solo enemies, let alone a boss.

[rare lichen]

I havent actually tried it! Ive only used normal or more than normal settings
I usually run things on 3x for more building resources and metals
Then with scripts that take half the monster drops so monster drops is closer to 1x

[split adder]

what is this about valheim update

what are the new axes exactly

[hard sluice]

the only time i played with the krom, it was in a server with pvp locked on... everytime i tried the secondary attack, i would hit a teamate and nearly kill him.
it was funny...! not very efficient though.

[steel mica]

Its a high risk high reward attack

[hard sluice]

i think 2 handed weapons are generally more fun to play, but shield+high dps weapon is better overall, in my opinion.

[steel mica]

But the damage is ultimately so worth it

[split adder]

if only the shield was worth using on the queen

[steel mica]

The damage is just so fat that the incoming dmg is hardly anything unless it one shots you

[steel mica]

Oh it is

Shields are busted imo

[split adder]

i cant hit the queen though with a shield

[steel mica]

Specifically buckler

[green reef]

dual wield axes craftable in the meadows

[fossil delta]

The BM Tower Shield is, that thing is a beast, all the way into Ashlands.

[silk token]

its good cuz you can get in a thrust for high damage between attacks. but she attacks pretty quick you might have trouble getting in a hit and not be hit yourself, 1 hand sword might be better for you too id bring both

[steel mica]

Are you utilizing dodge roll aswell?

Most of the queens attack do massive knockback

Its best to roll through those instead of block

[serene flower]

did they make performance better?

[steel mica]

Haven't checked myself but hearing from other players it seems so

So areas with a ton of instances aka builds might have better performance

[serene flower]

finally, i dont need to limit my imagination to the system requirements

[flat stag]

Mead Kettil <-- I don't remember this. How was it before that you crafted bases for meads?

[serene flower]

that was added like a year ago

[cosmic sail]

That's what I'm wondering. Any reports of significant gains? My dying RX 590 has just barely been playing this game for so long.

[silk token]

i think just cauldron, cauldron did lots of stuff

[steel mica]

Before you make all the food and potions in the cauldron

[serene flower]

imma check rn

[silk token]

i dont remember a food prep table even

[steel mica]

Now its seperated into 3

[flat stag]

Thanks - now I remember yes. Pretty cool they separated it

[flat stag]

I didn't ask "when" lol

[steel mica]

There was no food prep lol so everything is just in the cauldron jammed packed

[woeful canyon]

How do we get some of the new items like fey lights and frosted bread recipes? Or are they unlocked from material in Mistlands and beyond?

[serene flower]

okay mr. i hate when people reply to my dm in a server full of people

[woeful canyon]

I'm only in the Plains atm.

[silk token]

right, you even chopped fish with a cauldron right? lol i never thought it was silly bit it seems silly now to think of

[flat stag]

ok lol whatever mr toxic nobody 😄

[serene flower]

"toxic" and idk when i was toxic

[steel mica]

They should be in your building menu since its plains tier for the new added food and blackforest for the new decorations

[green reef]

frosted sweetbread is a Plains recipie, probably unlocks with egg?

[silk token]

i think fey lights unlock with black forest items

[steel mica]

forgot about the eggs lol

[flat stag]

Me: "How was it before that you crafted bases for meads?", You: "that was added like a year ago" - get a brain please

[steel mica]

No our good ol viking still just stirring the cauldron

I think its the same for the mead ketill

I havent really paid attention to the cooking animation

[serene flower]

yap

[serene flower]

just checked, doesnt seem to have any difference for me

[dense comet]

Is the update all done? I don’t see anything new in any of my seeds do i need to unlock something for the garland and food?

[tepid prawn]

pick up an item from a chest and it should unlock

or equip hammer or something it unlocked straight away for me

[haughty wolf]

"Early Axes" "Early Access" 🤔 😉

[tepid prawn]

assuming you have touched the required items like thistle, dandelion etc

the food I haven't found what thats made of yet but I m not on my PC right now

[haughty wolf]

i'm sure someone will upload to the wiki (if they haven't already)

[dense comet]

Ty

Hmm equipped hammer took stuff out of boxes and put it back and still nothing 😬

[sharp girder]

anyone know when the north is gonna come out?

[steel mica]

Try grabbing finewood and thistle and dandelion

[split adder]

soon™

[steel mica]

Unknown

[sharp girder]

two types of people

[steel mica]

Pretty much

[tepid prawn]

When it’s ready…

[green reef]

The new Frosted Sweetbread is pretty easy to make ||but uses a chicken egg. so post yag/tower.||

[sharp girder]

mmmm me want snow mr tester person is it available for yall yet?

[dense comet]

Negative

Didn’t do anything i think the patch didn’t happen for me for some reason

[wicked shard]

Wow! That is a massive improvement in performance with this patch. Well done devs!

[steel mica]

Try verifying integrity files

[wicked shard]

the game is even using more of my CPU now than it ever has when a lot of things are nearby

[steel mica]

And see if it updates or make any changes

[buoyant horizon]

but mods are cooked untill a patch.....ETA?

[dense comet]

Idk how to do that I’m on an Xbox if that matters

[steel mica]

Ah I see

Idk what to with that either

[sleek mauve]

is there a console command to find a dungeon in a specific biome?

[haughty wolf]

i tried to PM you a link but just google Valheim Developer Console Commands and the first link should provide you with all available commands know for Valheim

[wild hedge]

i search german player on steam dm me

[sleek mauve]

thx ill check them out

[dusty frost]

did they patch the ability to tab out whole left clicking?

[split adder]

how much weight can a cart hold before it stops moving

[hard sluice]

i like to keep it under 1200 stones. it varies a bit with the terrain i have to cross.
i think it starts to be difficult to climp slopes with more than 1400 stones...

i use troll meads+ the belt +the moder power nowadays, more than i use the cart.

[ebon aurora]

does anyone know when the new big update will happen?

[pliant hatch]

The devs do and they won't tell us until it happens.

So I'm afraid you've got to do the same thing most of us do; which is keeping an eye at the news channel.

[rare lichen]

I look at it like this
Filling cart with wood or stone? You can get it up a slant
Filling cart with metal? It cant go uphill

[split adder]

how much specifically though would it take to immobilize it

[dark coyote]

i've pulled 1800 uphill with eikthyr and zigzagging

eventually you will cross the curve and the cart will start moving, but likely not in the direction you want

[ember oyster]

anyone down to start a new world rn

[rotund parrot]

When I need to pull heavy load up hill with a cart I just transfer everything in my inventory and just walk up encumbered, it is much easier to climb a hill encumbered with an empty cart than it is to run up the hill with a heavy cart

[shy marlin]

Optimization on this patch is actually insane, previous 32k instance build was at 40 fps ish, now it's hovering 60-70 fps

[dark coyote]

depends on hohw much you have, if you put 300 into inventory thats still 1500 in the cart, I learned my lesson that day

[rotund parrot]

you take everything

[dark coyote]

on my first world I made all these nice roads through the BF, and put stickers on my beloved cart, and it was brutal, so now I use the boat and its always a downhill trip with a laden cart to the water 👌

[rotund parrot]

Still is a tips that can make your life easier, just transfer all the metal on you and drag the cart up hill slowly but surely and then transfer it back into the cart once you are up

[acoustic panther]

Time to make a chicken hatchery

[frigid anvil]

Is there any way to pull up console commands in xbox

Oop nvm I finally found a website that’ll tell me

oh nope it was a lie

[near furnace]

settings menu

[frigid anvil]

ah, thanks

[acoustic panther]

FPS around bases is 100% better!!!

[shy marlin]

yes we love optimization updates

[signal bloom]

Alright - this is dumb - what is the keycombo to grab a single item from a stack and quick transfer it without drag and drop?

[split adder]

did the devs slightly alter crafting station exposion or something

my food preparation table used to be functional but now its too exposed

[gray sand]

I do not believe there is one.

[signal bloom]

😭

[languid vessel]

where are the Early Axes crafted?

[split adder]

a workbench

[languid vessel]

ooh wait i need to find those new collectables dont i

[split adder]

i like how they made an entire weapon of a very rare type as a joke for this anniversary

[elder rivet]

Finished Fader for the first time tonight. Easily my favourite boss, was awesome

[hard sluice]

Congrats 🙂

[tepid prawn]

its vibes all over again haha

[spark dew]

ahslands and mistlands are so terrible end of game that most player dont even bother or cheat. Do the devs even play there own game?

[elder rivet]

I think mistlands would be awesome if the wisplight range was just doubled, atleast. The mist mechanic is actually cool but how small your vision bubble is just takes the fun away a bit. I think Ashlands was alright, I was worried going in from all the negative feedback but I think spending the whole game getting better at fighting, a whole biome based on just combat was fun

[tepid prawn]

Unpopular opinion, raiding Ashlands fort is the same difficulty almost as raiding a big fuling village in the appropriate gear for both tasks, just slightly harder maybe, also Mistlands is easy with the right tools

[fossil delta]

Where is your data from? I've finished Mistlands many times. I hate Ashlands, but I've still finished it.

[signal bloom]

I was okay with ashlands till one of the last updates.. for some reason its just like oops all valkyries all the time

[cosmic sail]

Personally I think the Meadows, Black Forest, and Plains are plenty of hospitable land for building ordinary stuff. I'm glad they added two regions that are inhospitable and provide the more fantastic and other-worldly resources.

[spark dew]

Been corpse running for hours now with my buddy because we are fully armored and bubble shield, and enemies can still one shot us. Thats terrible game design lol

[fossil delta]

Mistlands is good for building.

[cosmic sail]

I already don't bother building in the meadows because the black forest is a better place to start and the plains are a superior meadows overall.

[signal bloom]

On one hand its great that getting valk feathers arent such a chore, on the other.. i cannot gather resources without a major distraction of never ending valks

[pliant hatch]

Question: New update doesn't work when players are using the PTB settings as their default settings?

I haven't seen an update at steam and dropping some of the items mentioned by others didn't unlock anything.

[elder rivet]

yeah but the music and vibes and colours and storms hit just right in the meadows

[cosmic sail]

Actually, I agree. But I still wouldn't consider them "hospitable" since most players are going to be under attack by accident on a regular basis.

[fossil delta]

Still, I hope that is just a temporary glitch and they won't be like that once I reach Ashlands.

[signal bloom]

Its not temporary lol

[tepid prawn]

nothing can one-shot a bubbled person

[fossil delta]

I actually got attacked rather often just hanging out within my walls. So yeah, not terribly friendly. 😄

[tepid prawn]

1 hp of bubble protects from damage and stagger

[spark dew]

ashlands also has terrible lag issues

[signal bloom]

They changed spawn mechanics for ashlands. And it opened it up for more valkyrie and morgen spawns 😬

[tepid prawn]

some of these should work better now with the patch from yesterday

[cosmic sail]

I have a Mistlands portal hub fortress that's "safe" and it has a regular Gjall and soldier neighbors that you have to be familiar with if you plan to go outside.

[pliant hatch]

Except the patch may not work for everybody.....

[signal bloom]

My main base is in mistlands, immune to all raids. Those huge jutting spires make great naturally raid proof base locations

[fossil delta]

Thats pretty much every tower I have a portal in, within Mistlands. Which I am happy about, I like my Bile bombs. 😄

[signal bloom]

#building-screenshots message
Example photo

[short gale]

Damn Id say the new update boosted performance a bit!

[fossil delta]

They did tweak the engine a bit. Did you not read the release notes?

[short gale]

Did I not read the release notes..

[spark dew]

Still laggy, and its on a dedicated server. Which really messes with ranged attacks because it either pulls you around or the enemy wasting dire time in fighting

[short gale]

Whats ur problem mate

[signal bloom]

I wonder how many ballista shots it takes to kill a valkyrie..

[supple bear]

Mate you gotta read every patch note ever

All 5 years of them

[fossil delta]

Nothing. Just the release notes details what they did to the engine.

[supple bear]

Before ever daring to play the game how dare you

[fossil delta]

Thats a bit excessive, just todays notes are enough.

[short gale]

Pretty happy about that!

[supple bear]

Im illiterate I can't read

[fossil delta]

Yeah, looks like they may have reduced problems with instances even more.

[split adder]

is the kroms special attack fast enough to hit the queen in between attacks

[fossil delta]

I'd only try if I had her cornered. Basically not moving.

[spark dew]

Queen fight i just spawned skeletons and ran around in a circle while shooting it. Easiest fight yet. Which is weird

[fossil delta]

I do keep hearing magic is OP in the game.

I have stuck with melee.

[supple bear]

the poke? yes

[spark dew]

it is, which is why folks like me who played 500 hours realized its just easier to play with. You can constantly switch between bow and staff while the other is regen

[supple bear]

Magic and ranged both make the game a joke but magic has AOE and utility

[split adder]

who needs magic when you have a giant sword

[fossil delta]

I think I have exceeded 5300 hours. I tried magic for a while. I never took a liking to it, so just stayed with melee ever since.

[supple bear]

you can still parry spam through the game and use 2h weapons to deal with crowds

[spark dew]

how else do you expect me to play solo. It would basically be classified as a corpse run simulator. Queue the "git gud" comments

[burnt glen]

Yeah it's weird. I found her to be the hardest fight melee but the easiest with magic.

[supple bear]

queen is a lot of running around unless you use the cheese spot

[shy marlin]

The only response is play the game how you want to play it

[supple bear]

The absolute biggest difference is against Fader

[fossil delta]

I have done it many times, even without dying until I got close to Fader. I don't parry, I use Tower Shields, and I don't use dodge roll. Plus, yes, practice always helps.

[dark coyote]

PSL friend, Parry, Secondary, Loot 🤌

[spark dew]

I found Elden Ring combat easier than this game because of the janky combat and stamina struggles. One easy fix would be to not force the player into a hobble at low stamina, still allow vaulting over things of mid-height

[supple bear]

Fighting Fader with magic is insanely easy

Melee is much harder

and time consuming AF

cuz you gotta run all the damn time

[burnt glen]

Fader with melee was pretty easy ngl, Queen was harder imo.

[shy marlin]

Melee is actually faster against Fader

Granted, more risk, but it's faster

[fossil delta]

I think he would be a push over without that OP ground attack of his. Yes, I fought him with melee.

[supple bear]

At least they gave him more than like 3 attacks

i think hes got like 3 different versions of a melee attack alone

[fossil delta]

Plus he has mobs, but they are weak compared to normal versions.

[supple bear]

My first kill against him in the PTR I used frostner to kill him lol

[green reef]

I definitely struggled with him this weekend in melee, I could have upgraded equipment/swords another level, and added more rest to my base. I died 3 times fighting him.

[supple bear]

His mobs are irrelevant

you just kill them all with his ground attack that follows you

[split adder]

how many broods can the queen spawn

[fossil delta]

Yeah, but they can delay you getting out of that ground attack just enough to get you dead.

[burnt glen]

many

[supple bear]

You cant get out of it

[fossil delta]

I believe as many as she wants until dead.

[supple bear]

it follows you

[shy marlin]

I think the limit in the queen sanctum is 20 broods

Something around there

[split adder]

thats a lot

[supple bear]

I like the fader fight but theres a pretty big skill difference between killing him with melee and doing it with magic

[fossil delta]

Oh, she seriously has a limit? Surprising. Still, glad I never found out.

[supple bear]

I mean the dark souls games are kind of the same way

[shy marlin]

yea eventually her spew attack / roar that summons just won't spawn stuff

[supple bear]

Magic just OP as a concept 🤷‍♂️

[fossil delta]

I am not aware of a game where it isn't OP. So I agree. Besides, I just couldn't bring myself to abandon all my high melee skills, after working so hard to earn them.

[light moat]

Often times the trade off is weaker defense and more management 🤔

[fossil delta]

A friend of mine showed me what magic skills could do at a skill rank equal to my melee skills at the time, so in the 80's. Thats not a trade off. Thats OP.

[supple bear]

I dont even bother with skills honestly and I don't even die that much if at all

[light moat]

I meant often in general, not necessarily in Valheim. I agree that magic can be a bit OP in Valheim

[supple bear]

I do power level blood magic up to like 30 when i first get it so the shield isnt useless

but other than that i just ignore it

[green reef]

I'd think I'd like magic in valheim more if you had some base magic level like you do stamina and health. and the whole system started sooner.

[fossil delta]

Skill can modify damage by up to 140%, so I find it well worth my time.

[supple bear]

whats a level 50 skill

[spark dew]

Agreed. They could make drinking potions add to magic XP, typically because those resources are costly to abuse

[fossil delta]

Don't know, I would have to look at the wiki for such specifics.

[gray sand]

Been confirmed many times it will never be starting sooner.

Also, it being the OP AFness that it is, starting sooner would be 😴 in terms of combat difficulty.

[split adder]

how do i dodge the queens spit

[fossil delta]

I know you can just move out of it. Even easier once you know her signal for it.

[shy marlin]

hug her

moment you see her spit, run straight towards her belly

[green reef]

most mobs you can move out of their way when fighting. I think its lack of patience that has us stay in and try to whap it again

[fossil delta]

When you know thats her next attack, you can just get in and hit her all that time.

[green reef]

last time I fought her I just stood under the corner arches and poked her 😄

[fossil delta]

She is aggressive like that, so its pretty easy to move her to where you want her.

[silk token]

i swear you can eat 3 health foods and hold block for her attacks with... i forget if it was a blackmetal tower or the bug round shield i did it with, when i was doing all towers all the time run

[frigid anvil]

Frostner and wolf cape acquired hehehe

[fossil delta]

I do it with the BM tower shield with just two

[silk token]

dang, well there ya go

i thikn i had 3 just because, i was being beefy boi

tho now i do 3 because who needs stamina anymore XD

[fossil delta]

I do think that would be over kill, but I also do like to have a decent amount of stamina. So 3 HP foods is not something I would do.

[silk token]

i like 3 health just so i can parry things more, ive never found myself wantign a bit more stamina as bad as wishing i could parry a 2 star something

[fossil delta]

Maybe if I used the plains feast as a kind of baseline...

Maybe then.

[fossil delta]

Well, I always use Tower Shields, so never worry about parry.

[split adder]

does boss health regenerate when i sleep

[silk token]

any time you're not in the arena

[split adder]

yes but does it go faster when i sleep

[silk token]

cant honestly say i've SLEPT during queen fight?

[split adder]

ive been dying a lot

[silk token]

seriously just try 3 health foods and a shield, learn her attacks and timings, hold block

[split adder]

my main problem is that i cant see anything

[shy marlin]

3 health foods 🤮

[split adder]

also kinda the seekers

[silk token]

yeahh, bring as many wisp torch materials as you can and just spam them everywhere

[hard sluice]

I'm preparing for the Queen, i'm thinking to simply use the frostner..

[pliant hatch]

3 health foods, then pukeberries, then run without food, I assume?

[green reef]

I usually build a bed right outside the queens arena, and a chest with foods, potion resistance. healing pots

[shy marlin]

nah either SSH or HHS lol

[silk token]

for a new player who can't stop dying? i feel like eating 3 health foods is good to learn the boss and die a little less

[shy marlin]

nah lol, stamina is king

[green reef]

oh and a fire of course to get rested buff

[shy marlin]

they'll still die with 3 hp foods

[hard sluice]

If you place a fire outside, you can get the restING bonus while you are near it ,and double your hp and stam regen, in case you had to bail out.

[green reef]

I always do 2 health and 1 sta once those are readily available.

[pliant hatch]

I've been running with HSF from Swamp up to early Mistlands.
Only then changed it to HFE.

[hard sluice]

i'm going to use the bonemaw, misthare sup and salad.. maybe i should make some slightly better stam food, but i dont think i'll bother

[silk token]

and they're expertly utilize their stamina to not get hit twice..

[shy marlin]

they likely have poor stamina habits

which having more stamina will eleviate that stress

running 3 hp foods actively makes that habit even worse lol I, i also enjoy how you have me blocked yacko yet click and respond to everyone message I send 😂

[hard sluice]

i used HHH for ashland hard mode, i couldnt parry otherwise. but i also used lingering stamina and ratatosk potion all the time.

[supple bear]

Thats a lot of farming

[hard sluice]

i think lingering stamina are not too expensive. ratatosks cost gold, so maybe they can be

[green reef]

once you can make ratatosk, seems like you should always have it

[supple bear]

you're forgetting about the most valuable resource of all my young padewon

Time

[silk token]

ya idk what my problem is why i thought i could talk to you again. you're giving a new player terrible advice for no reason other than weird ego flexing per standard

[shy marlin]

😂 telling a player to have a balanced diet is bad advice? what planet are you on omfg, and where tf did I ego flex ???

[hard sluice]

yeah, lingering stam isnt too bad. if you just keep the mats from the infested mine. its actually one of the easiest mead to craft, in my opinion
lingering stamina is only some sap, jotun puffs and cloudberries. its nothing

[supple bear]

Most of the attacks in this game can be avoided without spending stamina, and thats excluding parries

This game has serious conan exiles syndrome

[shy marlin]

a struggling player aint gonna be able to do that tho

[supple bear]

you can avoid a lot of attacks just by circling the enemy or moving backwards

spending zero stam in the process

[silk token]

hehe that's true, until mistlands the art of "walking backwards" makes you immune to most attacks XD

[supple bear]

The only real threat in this game outside of bosses are dverger and you gotta make them mad

Dverger mages do not F around no matter how geared you are

[hard sluice]

did you guys manage to defend against a homing missile that can 1 shot you? i figured out how to avoid them.. it took me a few deaths

[green reef]

I upset a couple 2* dvrgr in a Ashlands dvrgr base, man that took some work to recover my body. I think it was due to the bezerker axes.

[mossy rivet]

I must to give my props to the devs for the patch that dropped today. I've been playing valheim since release and performance once you have a big established settlement or even just one particularly large house has always been fairly poor. I run the game away from my base around 140 fps but once at my home it would hover around 50 and dramatically decrease depending on where i was standing/looking. This was with mostly medium settings. I hopped on immediately when I saw the patch notes to see just how well optimized my base became and the difference was extreme. I can run infinite point lights and shadows with 80-60 fps which is a crazy jump. Performance was something that turned me off from playing more for a while now but this was a great patch. Thank you Iron Gate devs ❤️ 🙏

[split adder]

at this point my fight with the queen is a war of attrition

i cook food, go in, stab her a few times, die, go back

its not efficient but i suck at this game so it works for me

[green reef]

I've definitely repaired equipment midfight, had to yesterday with fader.

[supple bear]

do what it takes to win

[split adder]

i am so glad no skill drain is a thing in this game

my skills would be so low by now

[supple bear]

If you're using melee its probably easy to use the cheese spot. She will still attack you if you get in melee range the only difference is she wont move around a lot

[runic flint]

hey guys can anyone please join my world and help me get my stuff back?

[hard sluice]

i like going right in the middle of the room and take her on with melee : P
i couldnt do that when i played on hard tho...

[chrome badge]

Yeah, my last run I was caught in a corner by 5 cultists, and managed to naked run all my stuff back. It was easier to take that risk because of no skill drain.

[green reef]

oh i see what he meant now.

[barren whale]

what the shit lol
HHH is basically unplayable for new players because they can't manage stamina, at least 1 S is basically mandatory
HHH is for intermediate players that want to parry and fuck up a lot I've never seen it recommended to a newbie... most newbies can't even make 3 HP foods from their current biome...

realistically tell them to make fucking sure they're rested before leaving base

[silk token]

oof. that happened in a normal game, i preemptively popped a health potion and just started swinging my axe lol, worked out ok somehow

[silk token]

but when they can literally hold block and wait for the boss to attack, then swing a couple times and start holding block again? that doesn't sound like a good strat for a newbie?

i feel like that's better than telling them to dodge roll her attacks

[shy marlin]

no no but saying to have a balanced diet is terrible advice

[light moat]

The new player needs to learn to manage stamina at some point 🤔

A big health pool will let you take more hits. A healthy stamina discipline will let you survive more encounters.

Not saying health is useless, but a balance should be found.

[barren whale]

I'm getting the vibe that it's a knowledge issue like they're facetanking the ground pound or something

[light moat]

It’s similar to the Souls trap where dumping your levels into vitality (HP) often doesn’t actually increase your survivability. Just makes your deaths take longer

[barren whale]

for queen I would kite tbh especially if you're running feather cape which you should for that fight
idk blocking with mobs all around you seems miserable

[light snow]

3 health foods is like playing in a wheelchair

[silk token]

well obv dont keep standing there blocking once you're surrounded by seekers, but just to trade blows with the queen at least

[split adder]

i think i bugged the queen out
shes just walking around without attacking

and she unaggroed

free damage i guess?

[barren whale]

you can just move up and down stairs and slip off them when she does her bullshit, nothing's gonna hit you while you're floating down

[shy marlin]

yea it's part of the ai to flee sometimes

[barren whale]

yea it happens she'll start again eventually

[shy marlin]

and just do nothing lol

[split adder]

well shes dead now

[barren whale]

sickkkk

[split adder]

it took way too many deaths

should i be scared of the ashlands

[barren whale]

queen is a really tough fight to manage

[silk token]

YES

[barren whale]

accurate representation of my cardio irl 😭
I'm goin to bed have fun yall

[split adder]

i feel like munin's speech is foreshadowing

i somehow hit enter accidentally

[green reef]

Ashlands is unlike the rest of the biomes. The most obvious difference is the boiling ocean and the gap. no finding black forest or meadow to have a nice peaceful base, then running over into the dangerous biome.

[split adder]

is this truly going to be war

[light moat]

It’s a pretty combative intensive zone, yeah

[shy marlin]

easiest biome btw 😏

[split adder]

am i gonna need to learn to dodge with my big sword

what do i need to make my base out of in the ashlands

is stone fine or do i need more

[light moat]

Make sure you check out the new things you can craft with the Queens drop

[green reef]

you don't really need a lot of stone.

[split adder]

thats one big boat

[chrome badge]

I made a wooden base tucked away inside a rock on my first playthrough, you can get creative with it for sure, but like any biome it has it's growing pains.

[split adder]

does this shield generator make a good base protection or can enemies still get inside

[chrome badge]

It protects against weather elements and projectiles, not enemies.

[coarse siren]

is anyone else having trouble killing the bear with explosive arrows past day 36 or is it just us

[green reef]

the energy shield is more necessary if you want to stay in Ashlands all the time. If you portal home or away to go farming during a storm/night then its much less valuable

[chrome badge]

Yeah, I found it to be more valuable in the swamps personally. 😅

[green reef]

we used one in the mistlands for fun, and also in the meadows, fun to end the rain on a big area.

[supple bear]

people actually use that shield

Wow

[fossil delta]

ITs helpful against all the arrow attacks, when they stay outside of its radius.

[supple bear]

Did they buff it or something. That bubble dies to arrows pretty fast from what i remember

[fossil delta]

It lasts a while when its filled with 10 bones, but you do have to keep an eye on it.

[chrome badge]

I use it at every surtling spawner so I don't get wet everytime I go collect coal.

[paper marsh]

Feels fine to me after parry stamina removal

Still going 2.5 hp with a feast feels better

[shy marlin]

yea but you more than likely have good stamina habits

a new player will not

[paper marsh]

True, didn't scroll far enough up to get the full context

[shy marlin]

context was a player struggling with the queen fight

[supple bear]

10 points for gryffindor

[paper marsh]

Kinda nice to not have my base get passively damaged, plus to have protection against ranged enemies yeah

[supple bear]

grausten doesnt take environmental damage

I dont play on a server though to be fair

come to think of it i dont think i even saw it rain fire once my last playthrough

[cosmic sail]

Mpw tjat O

...whoops.

Now that I've got my server fixed up, I'm actually noticing real performance gains from this patch. Up to 50fps from ~40 before!

[idle storm]

Fire rains only happen during ash storms iirc. During which you can't see anything so you'll likely go do something else instead of running around the Ashlands blind.
And stone doesn't burn anyway so building out of grausten doesn't really NEED a shield unless you want to grow ashvines or block projectiles.

It does make a rather nice beacon for no-map runs though

[green reef]

I found the beacon distance shorter than I expected.

[idle storm]

render distance could be higher, true

but you have that problem with pretty much everything

[green reef]

I had to stick with the mistlamps they showed up with this strange distortion, sometimes even black against lighter background.

[glacial dove]

new patch has improvements for xbox ruinning, do we think that showes ps5 may come out soon?

[fossil delta]

I doubt it, they contracted the PS 5 work to another company. I guess its possible they asked IG to make certain tweaks.

[frozen fable]

I really like the Early Axes

they feel like such a boost

[paper marsh]

They are quite nice

Feels nice to not have to spend bronze on bronze axe, but get a better and earlier weapon anyways

[shy marlin]

i feel like they may be a lil overtuned lol

[tepid prawn]

so like the bear claws haha

the last 2 playthroughs I have been shredding bears, level 1 bear armour and claws not even upgraded at all

[barren whale]

maybe they should be capped at lvl 1 lol

[lusty jackal]

I sure it has been asked but i cannot find it. Where do you find the celebratory hat?

[thorn citrus]

It's a craft

[frozen fable]

one thing i like about the Early Axes is that it opens the path for you to use that initial bronze for something else. It may be worth it to craft the bronze pickaxe first UNLESS you really want cultivator to start farming. Or you can craft Bronze Armor if you want to blaze thru the burial chambers

[lusty jackal]

I picked up wood and got the recipe but i cannot find it on the workbench or the forge...or the hammer

Never Mind... found it on the workbench finally (under the Paws of the Bear for anyone else looking)

[vagrant junco]

yo does anyone know if the new early-axes weapons are in the game forever or will they vanish once 1.0 comes out?

[foggy aurora]

Hello guys i beat yaglut

[tacit crystal]

Permanent addition.

[wide zenith]

Wtf is Early Axes 😭

[cosmic sail]

I can tell you this, they aren't that early unless you get super lucky or don't mind dedicating several hours to meadows exploration.

I think the entire starting continent in my world doesn't have a pair in the meadows.

[wide zenith]

Ah, it's dual axes for early game lmao

[dark coyote]

falling for the "early axes"' gag huh?

[cosmic sail]

I think it's faster to kill Eikthyr twice and raft around for the abyssal razor.

[dark coyote]

razor is pretty good in BF

[cosmic sail]

That's my usual attempt at an early game power boost. Troll leather and abyssal razor will get you all the way to silver gear.

But it's still luck based. No leviathans nearby means lots of wasted time.

[idle storm]

Took me about 45 minutes to find both just running around the starting meadows on a new world.
Obviously not representative since i used Fenris, endgame sta food and lightfoot mead to make it faster but they're not THAT rare.

In a new game where you're exploring for bee hives and other loot anyway finding them shouldn't be too difficult.

[reef hemlock]

Does it need to be a new world?

[idle storm]

No, but it needs to be generated after the patch (so unexplored if it's on a pre-patch world

[steel mica]

Time to do another valheim playthrough

[idle storm]

i just made a new world because it was easier than looking for unexplored meadows in my old one

[reef hemlock]

when did the patch came online?
Sorry to bother, i'm new to the game, installed on saturday

[idle storm]

yesterday?

[idle storm]

if you just made the world there should be plenty of unexplored meadows still

[reef hemlock]

well saturday

this is my current exploration

i can't post images here 🙁

this one #screenshots message

[near furnace]

you got tons of medows to continue to explore

medows don't only exist super near the start

[reef hemlock]

i bet on the left, i belive the part on the right is a new island but ... will i find the new axes or not?

[near furnace]

you should be able to find the new axes 🙂

[tacit crystal]

You need to find certain wooden buildings where they can be located at.

[supple bear]

Yes every meadows is radically different from each other

[steel mica]

Seeing the update myself actually

The performance optimization is HUGE

[supple bear]

Do you build huge bases?

[steel mica]

That is alot more smoother

[steel mica]

yes

30fps difference for me atleast

Before it was 10

[supple bear]

Thats really good then

[steel mica]

Now around 40fps

And its alot more smoother

[supple bear]

I don't build to scale replicas of helms deep so i never really had lag problems, even 5 years ago

i think back then it was smoke that was the major culprit

[steel mica]

Particles played a role aswel in lag but the main issue really was instances

Especially for big bases

[steel mica]

Imma see if ashlands is any different

[supple bear]

Wonder if they fixed the audio bug

[steel mica]

Sadly no, possibly next major update or another small patch, but I can definitely feel the difference in ashlands

its a bit more smoother, still frame drops here and there but definitely an improvement

[echo plaza]

Read a few reports here that it's partly fixed but not completely.

[idle storm]

The audio bug did get a little less severe for me

still happens though

[supple bear]

then music will remain perm muted

[idle storm]

But i did get 10-15fps back in one of my larger builds so i'm not complaining too much

[steel mica]

My idea is that the game isnt prioritizing which ambience audio to play so like they are just piled on top of each other

Hence the audio bug

[reef hemlock]

i guess i should just try or reroll

[near furnace]

yeah. still working on it since it's a game engine issue 🥲

but we are keeping on improving

[supple bear]

Smiffe has said what causes the bug before

Pretty sure its a unity problem

[near furnace]

the sound issue is a sound channel limitation

[supple bear]

which doesnt make sense to me

[near furnace]

it's been sorted between us and unity

[supple bear]

what doesnt have at least 128 channels these days

[near furnace]

it just takes time 😄

[fervent parcel]

love to hear about the performance improvements. Fantstic!

[supple bear]

Apparently unity can only handle 32 channels at once

[rare lichen]

||I really like how the axes require components from POI that promote more exploration of meadows, and how the axes dont require any metal to make. It gives a slower, more peaceful alternative to get finewood than going to the black forest. Love it !!!
||😍

[supple bear]

Gotta hire some of that unpaid troll labor before they unionize

[steel mica]

First head, last one to go

[glad basin]

the seasonality mod is cool but the brightness is so high and cant find any setting to lower it😅

[steel mica]

Got the "early access"

[humble plinth]

What does the recycle emoji mean in suggestions

[west mica]

Been suggested before

Not necessarily a bad suggestion, just repetitive

[tribal perch]

Village or Megabase? What do you like to build? (Megabase: Giant building of some type, with everything inside)

I'm a megabase type of builder. I like the challeged of making it come together and finding solutions to structural chalenges

[steel sun]

so it's meadows? And not already explored ones?

[tacit crystal]

Correct, unexplored areas.

[thorn citrus]

Did the building also got improved performance wise ? It feels like it has

[tough mulch]

I spent the whole day figuring out a way to cheese fader efficiently

[west mica]

And used Trollstav

[tough mulch]

Thats one way

Ive made another method where you just stand and shoot to win

[near furnace]

overall things have changed in the background stuff to make things a little better

[tough mulch]

No need to be far from him as well

[near furnace]

we have managed to squeese in a few just raw performance enhancements aswell

[tough mulch]

Hopefully when my friends return they wont have to deal with performance issues

-# if they ever return that is

[idle storm]

It's most noticable on big builds but even normal gameplay just feels smoother. Still getting some stutters in the Ashlands but less often and much less severe, everywhere else runs without hiccups now.

[near furnace]

probably returning for 1.0 when we drop it 🫡

[near furnace]

ashlands is still under investigation

we might have to undo alot of our custom fixes to make it better now

[waxen portal]

I don't know if it is already discussed here, but i see changelog date in game is "2025-02-02 0.221.10"

so the new patch was a year a go 😄

[near furnace]

yup

[west mica]

I keep experiencing this bug in the Ashlands where the mobs hit me with swords until my health reaches 0

[open bolt]

Did they increase the amount of surtling cores in Dungeons or am I just lucky today?
I did a few dungeons today in three different worlds with three different characters, and all my dungeons had a lot of surtling cores.

[west mica]

Its intermittment, about once every 15 minutes

[near furnace]

didn't touch

[near furnace]

explain more 🤔

you don't die?

[west mica]

No I die lol

I'm joking, I'm saying its hard 🙁

[near furnace]

so the bug is that enemies kill you?

ah

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

I got a fix tho

Apply blunt force to their heads before they cut you up

[west mica]

lol

It was going to be that or, git gud

[near furnace]

10/10 will blunt force them agaain

[open bolt]

I guess it's a lucky day then 👀 lucky dungeons

[steel mica]

the "early access" are pretty damn nice

Though you gotta get lucky with the axe heads

[open bolt]

haven't found them yet

[steel mica]

They're found in the little wood like tower in the meadows

[idle storm]

You may be joking but Demolisher and the Staff of Embers basically carrried 90% of my first (PTB) Ashlands run. 10/10 for blunt force indeed.

[steel mica]

and the other one is found in those A like houses in the meadows aswell

[near furnace]

oh I don't

frostner is even tiny bit viable versus non-star mobs

[open bolt]

I actually haven't tried other melee weapons since Frostner 😂 I mostly use magic now, but if I need a melee I still use Frostner.
Need to start a more melee focused playthrough so I can try other weapons haha

[idle storm]

I won't deny the control aspect but frostners damage is a little too low for me at that point. The silver sword on the other hand...

[open bolt]

My current character went to her first ever dungeon, just near the Meadows, and there was a 2 star skeleton and a Rancid Remains 🤦‍♀️ amazing

Killed it.
and wow the Rancid Remains gave me a trophy. 👀

...and then a normal skeleton killed me 😂😂🤷‍♀️

[frigid anvil]

Just got the frostner last night, I love it hehehe

Giant fuck off magical hammer

[clear hazel]

Indeed. Simply the best.

[near furnace]

frostner is love

[sterile swift]

+1

hitting mobs with frostner and himminafl feels satisfying

[terse wagon]

Frostner is a great beginners weapon, it allows you to hit and kite to Regen stamina for those who have parrying issues

After the new release of the berserker armor and bear claws I never looked back, I used these until I got a silver sword and from there used it until I got Etir Stave's

I enjoy the whole magic game play, it's sad that is more late game era

One of the reasons why when I play, I rush directly to mistlands skipping all bosses except Moder for the Artisan table for the Blast Furnace

[humble plinth]

Why do I need stone to make wooden hammer

[thorn citrus]

yaaay

I noticed I gained 20 fps in my base and I am rather pleased of this news

[terse wagon]

That's a great question, because it's basically a wooden hammer. You would assume that hammer would have that stone acts as a weight for the head for striking force but the 3d model shows all wood

I would assume it's a mix if thematic progression and game play balance, such as deliberate self tutorial requiring you to ease in looking on the ground for resources

Because the hammer itself doesn't give off the appearance of a Tool Age utility similar Wooden handle and Stone driver.. similar to what you see with the stone axe, flint axe etc)

[tribal perch]

Trying to get early axes. Any tips? ( ||I know they are in meadows buildings in newly created terrain||) But any advanced tips to find them?

[idle storm]

There isn't really any secret to it. Eat your three best feasts, equip fenris armor, bring some lightfood mead and then make a new world and run around the meadows looking for the two structures spawning them.

[terse wagon]

You generally find those abandoned buildings along the coast or central areas.

Just remember RNG gods are watching down and it's a gamble in what you get in the container

[idle storm]

took me ~45 minutes or so but i may just have been lucky

[tribal perch]

Fresh character and world so no Fenris armour. But doing a coastal run is a good idea anyway to mark the starting island on map

[idle storm]

Just explore your meadows for loot then, you want to do that for queen bees anyway

[modern finch]

ok so they did an update no one cares about but can we know yet how far deep north is off by

It's been a year dudes

[thorn citrus]

I care about the update

building got optimized I gained some fps

[lapis granite]

any ETA-ish on when the hotfix will be out? 👀

[thorn citrus]

and the new decorations are neat

[smoky saddle]

We need something like an inferno tower from CoC as base defense. Let it consume surtling cores for damage

[modern finch]

I don't I want the biome

It's been a year man, A YEAR other games get 5 updates by now, valheim gets a load of small ones

[lone rampart]

Go play the other games then, and come back when it's ready.

[modern finch]

Even dota 2 gets more updates than valheim

And they do it every 3 months

[lone rampart]

You aren't going to bully the devs into releasing stuff before it's ready.

[modern finch]

No shit I've been doing that for a year

[modern finch]

I'm asking when it will be done and if it will be before I'm 80 years old

[candid basalt]

I like how we are all no one

[lone rampart]

And if you'd read the news annd announcements you'd know there is no official release date.

I like the update and I haven't even gotten to play it yet!

[candid basalt]

The fey lights are my favorite

[modern finch]

Yes it's a small filler update they slapped because the deep north is taking ridiculously long. I'd rather they stopped delaying it with these updates and got on with it already

[candid basalt]

Go make your own game and let us know about the updates

[cosmic sail]

The biome comes with a complete 1.0 launch, so you're waiting for all that. If they screw up the most important major update so far because they're worried about impatient players then I know who to blame.

[modern finch]

Other games don't take this long

[lone rampart]

It was a small update to celebrate 5 years, and to thank the players that have stuck with them for this journey. If all you can do is bitch and moan about it, do it to yourself

[candid basalt]

The entitlement of today’s youth I swear

[modern finch]

Most important? Bro the mist was amazing, so was plains, so was all their major updates. This one will be amazing too, but they keep delaying it with these small updates

[smoky saddle]

Perfection takes time

[lone rampart]

Nah they've got that boomer energy. "I'm gonna DIE before I see what I demand to see!!"

[modern finch]

I am expecting something very different to mist, because the mist is literally just enemies around mountains with mist on top and the same formula as every other biome so

[candid basalt]

Boomers think they’ll live forever because tho

[smoky saddle]

Id rather them drop a huge update that has taken a while to make than one with loads of bugs and rushed content

[lone rampart]

ahh, good point. Maybe it's just wishful thinking on my part

[thorn citrus]

I meaaan, not to be rude but..if you want that update so badly why not stop complaining and go make your own game ?

[modern finch]

What a stupid thing to say

[modern finch]

I'd rather they said when its gonna be instead of keeping it in the dark for a year

[lone rampart]

as opposed to the sheer GENIUS spilling out of your keyboard, I'm sure.

[candid basalt]

Meanwhile LNF has been in development for 7 years and all we got was a trailer two years ago. Irongate talks to us at least

[modern finch]

What's the point announcing it if its never gonna happen

[thorn citrus]

they're not announcing anything they're giving trailers and updates on how the development is going

[lone rampart]

Look at it this way. If they announce a date, then run into some unnforeseen issue that requires fixing right at the very end, then they've upset a large portion of the population. This allows them to focus on the task without a looming deadline.

[cosmic sail]

However patient or impatient we are, don't get confused. This patch almost certainly did not set the Deep North back. It's game optimizations and like three art assets. If anything, the optimization work was probably necessary for Deep North and they were cool enough to release that part early.

[modern finch]

They don't need to make a deadline, estimations are also quite common like what gta 6 is doing. Guess what? Push it back if you need to, it's not that hard but at least it causes some expectations

[lone rampart]

🤣 This joker's gonna invoke GTA6 like that's a good thing

[modern finch]

cause for all i know this wont be coming until 2030

[thorn citrus]

yeah I mean they do that because they want to, if they wanted to give up they would've done it
just let them enjoy their work instead of putting pressure on them

[cosmic sail]

How many early access games have you been part of?

[chrome badge]

😑

[modern finch]

Unironically i think gta 6 will come before deep north

[candid basalt]

They could stop development now. We got what we paid for in spades

[thorn citrus]

and ?

[modern finch]

Which will be bad because everyone will be playing gta 6 not valheim

[thorn citrus]

you're saying that like it's a bad thing

[cosmic sail]

I won't.

[candid basalt]

Who are these “everyone” and “no ones”

[lone rampart]

I still play GTA3 on the PS2. I have no need of 6.

[thorn citrus]

for a 20$ game, valheim is already amazing and you're telling me there's MORE to come ? like how can you be so ungrateful

[modern finch]

Are you serious?

Every biome is the same with different models lmfao, it's barely amazing

[candid basalt]

Of course he’s serious. And don’t call him Shirley

[lone rampart]

Then why are you even here?

[cosmic sail]

Alright, now you're trolling.

[candid basalt]

1200 hours worth of everything’s the same

[modern finch]

Because I want to play deep north, whenever it releases which will not be this year

[lone rampart]

ok then come back when you've matured a little and deep north is released.

[modern finch]

It's funny cause I'm probably older than you 😂

[lone rampart]

ok.

Try acting like it

[candid basalt]

“When the hair sprouts below; when the voice drops. This is when deep north shall come”

[modern finch]

Ah yes, being sad a game won't release their final biome but will release shit content that changes nothing about gameplay is not acting mature.

[lone rampart]

Adipocere that got a cackle out of me, well done!

[modern finch]

More like you're delusional kid

[candid basalt]

Wisdom comes with age

[lone rampart]

And sometimes age arrives on its own 😹

[modern finch]

Experience comes with age, wisdom is not the same thing

[candid basalt]

If I stop having birthdays 60 will never come

[modern finch]

Many adults are still stupid regardless of age

[tough mulch]

First thing I see when I open DC be like

[candid basalt]

We just feeding trolls here

[thorn citrus]

yeah, I paid 20$ for the game in its current state, if there's more then it's cool, if not, then cool too I wasn't lied to or anything and they're just doing whatever they want I mean it's an indie studio it shouldn't be about money or deadlines or having to meet a "quota" or anything it should be able passion and art

[lone rampart]

It's like tossing peas to the ducks in the park.

[tough mulch]

I see I see, as advocate of solving world hunger I support your sentiments

[candid basalt]

I use bread because I know it’s bad. Little feathered demons

[lone rampart]

But alas, I grow weary of these circular arguments

[lone rampart]

Nah, it's the geese and swans that are evil

[candid basalt]

They are eldritch horrors

[lone rampart]

it's true, geese have FLIPPING TEETH who designed that?!?

[modern finch]

If people buy a game you publish you should make it worth playing, Valheim is worth playing but it's not a finished game that they promised yet, so your argument is irrelevant.

[lone rampart]

flipping as in a replacement for another F word, not that they literally flip into place

[candid basalt]

Why don’t we have geese and ducks in Valheim? They can release a bonus patch to delay deep north to add them!

[silk token]

dude you’re not kidding! did you know geese have serrated knife tongues??

[cosmic sail]

Classic early access impatience. I've been playing early access games since Minecraft and I guarantee you Valheim is a shining example of a game that sees plenty of positive forward motion. The waits are always worth it and the devs know how much to show and hide.

This patch did not come out "instead of" Deep North, that's not how development works with teams, and you're going to have a bad time with every Early Access game if you want launch date estimates.

[modern finch]

I don't care

[lone rampart]

We do, they're just green and have 4 eyes

[loud harbor]

That's literally why it's in early access... because it's not finished...

[tough mulch]

if they ate barley and seeds I wouldn't mind throwing them a bone or two

[modern finch]

It's hardly early access, it has all biomes except one.

[thorn citrus]

(videogames in general shouldn't be about making money or quotas either but that's another discussion)
I mean artists and creators won't drop any release if they're not proud of their work, you can be sure about that
before satisfying the playerbase, their priority should be to satisfy themselves by working and creating the way they want, regardless of how much time it takes

[modern finch]

The game is practically finished, it needs one more biome, unless they plan to redo the ocean biome.

[lone rampart]

My previous world had a "neck park" where I built around their little spawning area so as not to disturb

[cosmic sail]

You should care, because you're asking for something that's going to make you more mad.

[candid basalt]

This so much. I trust Irongate. And Hello Games. Very few other early access games have made me feel this

[worn steeple]

And with hours of gameplay. Hence why my 5060 hours should count in the matter when I gently tell people to stop complaining. Early access is early access, and the longer it takes the better the outcome will be.
People tend to forget Iron Gate is a rather small team, and theyre making something brilliant here.

As we know, takes a true Viking to stand the wait and fully enjoy the ride.

[thorn citrus]

you can't know that

it's theirs, if they want to add more, they can

you cannot judge if another person's project is "finished"

it's not your game

[lone rampart]

wow! 5k club, that's awesome!!

I'm only a little over 2k

[tough mulch]

I got valhiem not knowing it was early access and I have no complains with it

[candid basalt]

Can’t trust the dark riders.

[loud harbor]

How far it is to release doesn't change it's early access state. It was in early access in 2021 and its still in early access now. The whole point of early access is to add things to the game, then have the 1.0 launch where the game is actually finished

[tough mulch]

aside from some inventory and stuff overall I like this game

[modern finch]

I mean yeah, their roadmap says the deep north is the final biome and we know it is because when the game was truly in early access all the biomes existed but they were just empty, now one remains. And yes, they do plan to do something with the ocean and other updates like "combat improvement, moon phrases" and shit like that, but in terms of the GAMES STORY, the deep north is the final part of the game.

Unless they want to make you start over a seed to add more biomes after deep north, that is

[candid basalt]

me putting things in the crockpot why can’t I eat it now? It’s all there, it’s basically ready!

[lone rampart]

dude they haven't had a roadmap in ages, now you really are just

[cosmic sail]

"Truly Early Access". We're defining terms for the industry now?

[modern finch]

How can you call valheim early access, the game is practically finished

[thorn citrus]

it's not a finished product, wich makes it an early access

[modern finch]

I mean sure before plains maybe, but at mistlands? are you delusional?

[cosmic sail]

Because it's not finished and you're playing it.

[thorn citrus]

we have acess to it before it is finished

[tough mulch]

I have played plenty of early access games that are like thats, its very common

[modern finch]

Valheim is easily like 100 hours of gameplay now, if not more

[cosmic sail]

Did you play RimWorld in EA, @modern finch?

[worn steeple]

Did you experience the Mistlands before Mistlands? With webs and all?

[lone rampart]

Ahhh...the sweet bliss of the ignore button. OK y'all have a wonderful day!

[thorn citrus]

and ?

[modern finch]

Idk why I said mistlands it wasn't even the last update lmao, i cant even remember the last biome.

[thorn citrus]

that's not even close to be an argument

[tough mulch]

ey web kinda dope, why is it gone

[candid basalt]

Tbh I miss that look

[modern finch]

I haven't played valheim in a year

[loud harbor]

7 Days to Die was in early access for nearly 12 years. It was absolutely in a playable state by year 11 but it wasn't finished like it is now

[lone rampart]

I still have a treehouse in mine, on my old world

[thorn citrus]

if they want their finished product to be a 200h game then let them do what they want with their product

[candid basalt]

I deleted most my old worlds.

[lone rampart]

I kept my first because I'm a nostalgic old lady

[worn steeple]

Point is, yes, the biome itself is there - naked and raw. It needs inhabitants and structures. Just like Mistlands did.

And a lore

[modern finch]

We don't know the stage that the deep north is at.

[candid basalt]

Yeah I’m a hoarder so I actively force myself not to

[candid basalt]

You said it’s “basically done”

[lusty dirge]

But we do know that the game is in early access

[modern finch]

No I said valheim isn't really early access because it has one biome left.

[lusty dirge]

You clearly don't know what early access means

[modern finch]

After deep north it's a finished game unless they decide to add more, which would invalidate all the seeds, and even if they update the ocean would invalidate a huge amount of seeds.

[loud harbor]

I really don't get the whole point of this arguement, like what do you want them to do? Just remove the early access tag?

[candid basalt]

The game isn’t in early access because it’s not done yet and we are playing it before 1.0 release. wtf logic is that?!

[modern finch]

Early access is a good tag to use because it attracts more people so

[candid basalt]

Most early access games I don’t touch with a pole

[lusty dirge]

Or because it communicates to people that they are buying a unfinished game

[loud harbor]

Yea if anything I'd say the early access tag would put more people off

[tough mulch]

I've played my fair share, they are nice, some I absolutely deplore

[worn steeple]

Making the game playable with early access while making it has lots of good things in it. Bug reports, feedbacks, income etc.

[modern finch]

But if you look at enshrouded, that is early access, look at the size of the map and how much content it doesn't have. Valheim is no where near as unfinished, it has one biome remaining.

[tough mulch]

honestly you'd be hard pressed to find people playing an early access game thats not even 50% done

[candid basalt]

This! How many of you have logged bug reports? We are beta testers basically

[candid basalt]

One biome remaining. So it’s not done. And we have early access

[tough mulch]

the base game does need to be complete before it leaves early access yea

[loud harbor]

"The building isn't even under construction anymore, they only have 5 more floors to add"

[modern finch]

damn you people are dumb

[thorn citrus]

as a creator myself, I can tell you they weather you like it or not, they won't release any content before being satisfied with their own work
it's how creation works, no one won't ever rush a project just to release it sooner aside from greedy corporates who only seek more money regardless of the quality of their games/creations
if they wanted to, they could've rushed the entire game and have it out by years now, but even when working on late-game biomes and updates, they kept updating the core of the game with updates such as CTA
they won't release anything if they're not proud of it, as any other creator would
we can discuss weather or not it is playable or if it's "finished" or not but it doesn't have anything to do with the release of the 1.0 because the decision is theirs, as it is their game

[candid basalt]

What do you mean, “you people”?!

[thorn citrus]

he thinks he's above

I believe

[tough mulch]

I'll be a positive person and think thats a compliment

such a sweetheart you are

[modern finch]

What does this have to do with anything

[modern finch]

Love you too dude I don't know

[cosmic sail]

O' Arbiter of Software Project Management, please enlighten us: What does "early access" mean? We are fools who clearly don't know.

[candid basalt]

Tropic thunder quote fail. Sigh. I guess I am out of touch with the youth

[thorn citrus]

it has to do with the fact that you're here complaining and thinking that the fact that you're complaining should make the update come quicker, wich won't happen

[candid basalt]

Fool of a took

[tribal perch]

I think the developers might have misunderstood what we want when they gave us early axes

[tough mulch]

no no, its perfect, I love it

[thorn citrus]

I don't really like that addition either

[tough mulch]

give me more

[modern finch]

Where do I say it should come quicker? I said they are releasing pointless updates instead of working on the major one

[thorn citrus]

I think it's a great weapon but I think it should be lootable in the skeleton/greydwarf buildings in the black forest

[idle storm]

true. It's a little too powerful for where you get it

[candid basalt]

I love how a “pointless update” that changes the game engine is distracting from progress on deep north

[tough mulch]

how about a compromise? bronze head in the meadow and Iron head in the DF? a first hybrid of its kind
