Did anyone on /v/ venture north yet?
>>747311887I just picked this up since I heard it was finally releasing but haven’t touched it yet. What am I in for and any tips for a beginner? Seems less gay than minecraft.
>>747312189Use creative mode to bypass the pointless limitation of gear you can take through portals.
>>747312256you can set portals to pass everything in world settings
>>747312189Play on hard preset with normal death penalty and do not turn off the portals limitations if you want the game to push back a little. Game is sovlful
>>747312189First, don't do what these anons say as it removes much of the logistics challenges and risk. If you're playing solo it's not a bad idea to use 2x resources so you spend lest time whacking ore with a pick.Consider "rested" buff mandatory and more of a debuff to not have it. Making a comfy settlement makes it last longer which lets you venture out for longer.Avoid going out at night as everything gets more difficult.If you enter a new biome you are not supposed to be in yet, you will probably be instakilled by the first thing you see.
>>747312256How to spot someone who hasn't played the game in years.
>>747312675NTA but I just started playing and in the first/second biome and keep getting killed by trolls. Should I just farm and make bronze armor and weapons and upgrade all those before I start trying to kill big monsters?
>>747312952You can roll by jumping while having your shield out. The roll is invincible so treat them like a dark souls enemy. Once you have a bronze shield you can probably parry them which gives you double damage on the counter attack. Also, trolls are weak to pierce, so spears. When the damage numbers are yellow it means they are weak to that damage type.
>>747311887>playing valheim without a plethora of QoL modslol nah i'll wait
>>747312189Grinding, grinding and more grinding. Dropping the game after realizing that it took you 10 hours to do something that should have realistically taken 2.
>>747311887i don't play slop
>>747311887Is the game still not solo friendly? Last time i played i got to the land of mist and burned out when i realised i needed to basically start over, so i spawned all the best gear and killed the queen (horrible fight btw)
>>747311887I don't play woke shit.
>>747313089Ok was wondering if the roll had i-frames. Just annoying to have to block to roll when instinctively you just want to roll with one button. >>747313089>Also, trolls are weak to pierce, so spears. When the damage numbers are yellow it means they are weak to that damage type.Nice thanks
>>747317160Thats honestly a 1/10 in terms of wokeness level compared to the vidya industry standard and you know it, all of these are completely ignorable, if you dont pick a female character you can avoid the dei-ness completely and enjoy viking purgatory in peace
>>747318232sorry but pandering directly to fags with lgbt marketing is a no-go for me, i'm not the audience for this game
>>747317398>>747313089Adding to that pierce weakness of trolls, trolls are also one of the few enemies that take extra weakspot damage if you aim at the head with spear throw or bows.But usually it's easier to just them in the balls in pattern:Stab, stab, dodge, stab, stab, dodge.
>>747311887never made it past the swamp, i enjoy grinding in games but the constant interruptions from enemies became obnoxious, didn't enjoy
Bepinex was updated, there's multiple different achievement with modded game stuff added already.The question is, have any of the craft from containers addons been updated?
>>747320480>craft from containersEA for 5 fucking years, no point adding this on release. devs of this game are retarded and the game is only playable with mods.
>>747311887>venture northYou're not getting me that easily, Eaten.
>>747312189I think standard settings are fine, but if you've beaten the second boss you could change the drop rate from 1x to 1.5 or 3x.Personally I feel like the resource costs in the area right after the 2nd boss are a bit obscene, and many seem to agree.Don't change portal mechanics. I think that's the only thing you really need to know.Stamina management is a big part of the game, just moving away instead of dodge rolling or blocking is underutilized.I like using authotkey to put scrollwheel up+down on buttons so I can build faster, but that's probably just a me thing.I have a great time playing solo, and a slightly better time playing mp, and the mp playthrough doesn't really make singleplayer obsolete for me, it is a very different feeling of exploring alone.
>>747312675>>747312189>Consider "rested" buff mandatory and more of a debuff to not have it. Making a comfy settlement makes it last longer which lets you venture out for longer.Oh right this is like the most important tip that I always forget to give, that I see a lot of people miss.If you're away from home and you lose the buff, you can place a campfire and just sit down, if there are no enemies around that's enough to give you an 8 minute rested buff.Having proper shelter, or a home with more comfort items is better, but campfire+sitting down is great in a pinch.
>>747317160The female model has big tits thoughever.
>>747317160chuds are the new snowflakes kek
>>747323309many are saying this
>>747317160Who the hell plays a viking game as a woman. It's like playing as a female dwarf. Non compute. Why?
>>747317160That's not even what DEI means
>>747323802womenthe designated weeb of the friend group
Its not a 10/10.Its a 11/10
i don't have friends to play withthey only play CS and other online versus slopfeels fucking batman
>>747311887Already there.It seems like you can go there if you got your first frost resist stuff. With the Item from ashlandboss you can build a shovel which removes snow to get buildable space.Also Haldor now sells 2 permanent Inventory expanions.I survived the war in ashland to get fucked by a Moose.
Tempting to check how my north pole base is doing, but don't wanna spoil myself.Mp first, then I'll make a proper landing from the south in singleplayer.
A couple friends and I are doing a fresh run Friday we just wanted to make sure no day 1 bugs fucked us up
>>747323802Makes it easier to self insert
>>747323309a snowflake is someone who wants to be seen as unique and special>they/them pansexual agender twospirit transafricanthe fact that you believe it means fragile or brittle tells everyone that this term was used against you, and in your endless insecurity, you believed it was because you are so fragile and brittle.
>>747324931>a snowflake is someone who wants to be seen as unique and specialkinda like the opposite of someone saying "all vikings are equal"
>>747324931Snowflake is just anyone who is brittle and sensitive. Like dumbass do you think Incel actually means someone can't have sex at this point?You genuinely might an an autistic understanding of language. And if you have actual ausitism please do not engage with society. Your genetic defects make you bad.
>>747311887Remembered about the game when I saw the notice. But then also remembered how fucking punishing the grinding is just for the sake of it.>>747312675 is a perfect exhibit of why I stopped expecting the game to go in the right direction. Always pisses me off to have those people screaming """challenge""" when they're talking about a monumental pointless time sink.
>>747323309>chuds are the new snowflakes kekThey're the old snowflakes, too.
I still hate the look of a lot of the armor sets. The troll set couldve looked awesome but they made it a big blue onesie for some damn reason.
>>747325483yeah. The game takes too much time. Between wifey and kids, work and social stuff, that's like, an hour of gaming a day. Ridiculous when you can spend that entire part just mining and hauling some iron in valheim and you have to do that dozens of times.
>>747325262>"all X are equal"is infamous communist propaganda. the people who propagate that everyone is equal are the ones who wish to have power over you.>>747325267>Snowflake is just anyone who is brittle and sensitivewrong again. incel also has a very specific meaning that requires no further discussion.your problem is that you argue like a woman. a woman doesn't call someone incel because he is an incel - she uses the word like a curse>you SHOULD be an incel!your style of arguing is also very feminine. instead of attacking the argument, you go directly for insults, out of extreme insecurity. really ironic how fragile you actually are that you need to resort to this.
>>747312764Not as if much was added from launch, can you blame him?
>>747311887Nah, not yet. Started a new playthrough to see what I missed all those years. Can't find the second yellow axe head for the twin hatchets and I'm close to giving up. I also found one of those small islands with a tower and thinking of making my base there, it's also right next to the second boss so why not.
This is easily one of the most tedious and boring surivival games I have ever played. The sound design last I played like 4 years ago barely even existed and was pure dog shit. And I actually played through this with a friend (only reason). Can't imagine playing this solo. Also who funds this game? It's just so mediocre for it to get this much marketing it makes me wonder.
>>747325262>"all are equal">"no, there's a strict hierarchy where I am unique and special above them who are uniquely worse, what do you mean I'M the snowflake?!"It's all so tiresome.
>>747326627It was a viral hit during the pandemic, and became a meme for long EA period but it actually released. Where are you seeing marketing?
>>747311887No, I haven't thlammed my penith in the Ashlands to the game's satisfaction yet.
I think instead of doubling or tripling ore drops. The crafting recipes should have been sliced in half. Like a fully upgraded basic iron pickaxe is 80 iron. 80 units of iron that get obliterated into dust.And you can make the arguement that it takes 80 pounds of iron to get enough quality metal to make the 1 unit of necessary purity to perfect this pick, ok, but give me scraps i can build with or something. This pick is going to be irrelevant in 4 hours anyway.
Why do you still take damage when you parry?Makes it totally pointless when you are staggered along with the enemy.
>>747326627Honestly the game idea is good but the execution is terrible because for some reason the devs, and its community let's be honest, seem to think that everything being overly tedious is good gameplay engagement.And that's something you notice very early in the game. The limitations for building a simple crafting table, the weight limitations whenever you want to build something, the limitations for flattening even a very small area, the absolute limitations when looking for your first copper/tin batches. Makes you reach very early a yeah i'm not going to bother with that mindset.
I think health should have been tied to armor instead of food.Getting one shot because you didn't eat breakfast this morning sucks ass.
>no auto sort>no auto store to all available chests around>no chain building items, need to be placed individually>enemy AI that usually just runs up to you then away, or around you in circles>shit ocean>no official mod supportlmao 1.0 my ass this shit belongs in 2010
>>747328747>The crafting recipes should have been sliced in half.At the very least for iron.I think the upgrade system works good for stuff like Troll Leather, because as you get it and progress you keep unlocking new tiers for your crafting station that lets you upgrade the troll armor once more.With Iron, it's just a heavy grind for more iron.Functionally, having 4 tiers doesn't really matter for the iron stuff.I was talking with friends that I think modding it so the 3rd and 4th upgrades for iron stuff is just straight up free would be better.Like 20 iron for your pickaxe, and then another 10 to upgrade it.Instead of 20+10+20+30=80.Silver should be tweaked too, but it doesn't bother me as much.Maybe because silver is more fun to mine.It would be asymmetrical, but I would do something like, the Silver Sword gets upgrade once, and it's as strong as the silver sword is right now fully upgraded, but the 3rd upgrade requires Eitr, and then you get 2 more upgrades for just extra spirit damage.It wouldn't change anything in mountains, but would keep the sword a bit more relevant into Ashlands.
>works good forwhat am I even saying
>>747311887>Shoehorned in brownsThere I go tapping my bell again
>>747311887did any non jews venture north?
these wisplights are really comfy
>no early game magic>handcart doesn't fit through the drawbridges>drawbridges require wolf trophies to build because ???????i guess i'll just have to install one million mods to fix this fucking piece of shit tedium that calls itself a "game" again
>>747335508just play a better gameabiotic factor, grounded and palworld to name a few have way better QoL
>>747335508the full release feels really anorectic and rushed. like they either want to just declare the game "complete" and moved on or rushed it because they were afraid of getting mogged by another survival game. maybe enshrouded?either way this remains one of the least fun survival games i've ever played
>>747335508Because magic is for late game doesn't matter if you want it early dumbass
>>747324258>spoilerYeah, that sounds about right for Valheim.
>>747335508Just build your own fucking bridge with some gaps in it. You can your cart can walk over it fine, but enemy AI can't grok it. Build something so it looks like a cattle grate.
im already playing zomboid, another boring game, but a much better one
>>747329115But I did eat breakfast today
>>747311887Yeah, its really underwhelming. They reused greydwarves and skeletons as biome enemies and there's hardly anything to do. Everything is super easy so you just blow through it really quick. The super huge stone trolls are really cool visually, but in practice they just stomp their feet once every 10 seconds. I've not beaten the final boss yet, but so far it's been extremely disappointing.
>>747338816Okay, but what if you didn't and you only had 20hp?One hit from even a brute or possibly a graydwarf will instakill you.Hell, even a boar could probably kill you.
>>747339586>One hit from even a brute or possibly a graydwarf will instakill you.>Hell, even a boar could probably kill you.how?
there a /v/ server?
>>747329115boss trophies should give you permanent health increasesat the very least so you can build in peace without getting mogged by a random ass troll
>>747311887garbage game.
>1.0>Look inside>They added one new zone>A few weapons>Beginning is still mostly the sameThey got tired of working on it. I got my money's worth, for sure, but it's not a complete product. It's like >>747329123 says.
Is there a mod to remove the retarded building restrictions where you need 500 benches to build anything
>>747339698Sitting around building and get my ass slapped when I am looking away in the menus or up at the structure.>>747339782That'd be cool.Honestly those boss buffs should always be equipped and you can just choose one on a radial wheel instead of portaling back to spawn each time.
>>747339894I forgot one, no favoriting inventory slotsso I for one, enjoy putting my food back into chests every single time along with other essential itemsseriously these retarded devs never played a single other game in their lives, many such cases
Any mod that improves render distance? I really hate how noticeable pop-in is in this game.
>>747317160dont forget the entire series they made of a super special OC donut steel female character going through the game as a 'story'absolute fucking cringe
>>747325663>wife>kidsyou dont belong here, nor on video games as a whole
>>747325663choregames like valheim weren't designed for people who have responsibilities
>>747342015They said they added settings with 1.0. Haven’t tried them yet.
>>747338864the final boss is paradoxically one of the best and longest fights in the entire gameits weird how good it is when the rest of the deep north is so mehi particularly hate how the molds you need for new gear there drop randomly so you can just get unlucky and end up at the final boss with zero deep north armor
>>747341430oh and honorable mention and mostly my own autism but when ctrl clicking items into chests things stack from the bottom left instead of top left, are these niggers from Australia or something?>>747339967the game pretty much goads you into making one superbase, then having 20 billion portals as you go along, it's not so bad when you only have to do it for one base....unless you didn't turn the option off in the world where you can't take metals through portals, then let god have mercy on your soulhope you're unemployed in that case because you're gonna have an extra 50 hours of sailing and run time kek
>>747342015RenderLimits is great.Lots of settings like for terrain, creatures, structures, trees
>>747311887honestly the moment I stepped into the black forest the game became really frustrating
>>747342695so basically youre a shitter whose bad at video games ?
>>747312256>>747312189For new players I recommend enabling all items for portals, but playing with the personal rule that the first load of a new ore type must be delivered by boat/cart.If you just portal everything right away you'll miss some of the adventure/exploration feeling, but once you've done it once or twice there's no need to repeat it unless you really want to. Especially if you're playing solo.There used to be a mod that did that for you by adding different tiers of portals, but idk if it's up to date anymore.Regardless of how you choose to play, there is a large portal you unlock once you get to the Ashlands that allows all items to pass through.
>>747311887Im getting ready to rn, got a longship just outside the boarder.
>>747312189Its tedious in many ways, simply for the sake of tedium.
>>747342765*sloprolls through your post*
>>747342448Yeah, I tried that, it's still shit. >>747342657Thanks, anon, I'll give that a try.
>>747342695Pretty early to get frustrated.Do you make sure to always get a rested buff?You can just place a campfire, and sit down for 1 easy comfort, as long as you don't have enemies nearby you'll get an 8 minute rested buff.Stamina might be the issue for you, and rested increases your stamina regent.As you get more foods that becomes better too.
>>747342695I had a bear and a troll aggro me in the first boss fight yesterday, also I got Biden Blasted into the ground from 300 yard deer aoeI think the bear was my fault I wandered into forest early and it just stayed around meadowsThe troll I have no idea, are they common around Mountain? Honestly I find trolls way easier than bears though so it was easy enough without the bear
>>747342695Black Forest is where the game peaks. It cements the basic "gameplay loop" for every biome after.Not that the other biomes aren't enjoyable to varying degrees, but Black Forest is still the best one.
>>747311887I played this in EA with a bunch of 4-5 friends and we all quit in the swamp and 2 of them confidently said this game was the least fun they've ever had in a videogame
>>747333579>he kept all of the receipts in a secure, waterproof, sealed location>they survived literally thousands of years>more people know his name today than he likely interacted with over the course of his entire life>all because he scammed some shmuck into buying his shitty copper ingots and never gave him a refundThink of all the songs and plays that didn't survive the bronze age, the iron age. Think of all the great stone scuptures that shatters, the paintings that burned or rotted, and the gold and jewels that were pillaged and melted down into spanish and british bullion.All that human culture, the beauty, it fades away, or it's spoiled and destroyed, but the inherent greed and pettiness? That's carved into clay, that's set in stone, it never fades away.TL;DR: GODDAMNIT EA NASSIR WHERE THE FUCK ARE MY GODDAMN COPPER MOTHERFUCKING INGOTS
>>747342852people who enable all items with portals are adhd faggots who are unable to find enjoyment in anything without a second monitor that has a permanent tiktok doomscroll feedi have no respect for anyone who does thisthe whole point of boats having storage at all is to transport your spoils back, and in late game, the distances stop being an issue at all because ashlands unlocks stone portals that allow metal transportation without needing to cheat
>>747343254>Black Forest is where the game peaks. It cements the basic "gameplay loop" for every biome after.It's very strong biome.I just wish it was wider.It's such a cool feeling when you get a big black forest, and you see more black forest in pretty much all directions.One of those things that makes me wanna edit a map some day, the problem is, that it's not fun exploring a map you made yourself.
>>747343175Trolls do not spawn in mountains. They only appear in black forest biomes.It could be you wandered close and thus drew aggro from a troll. They can be drawn from fairly far away in some circumstances. Like chopping wood or mining ore with your tools has a MASSIVE sound aoe that draws in most mobs. Surprisingly not bears. I've had a bear next to a copper mine and it would not mind me picking at rocks, where as trolls and graydwarves flock enmasse.
>>747343080I didn't know about the campfire sitdown thing, thanks>>747343175seems like that altar is on the verge of a black forest and mountains, trolls and bears spawn in the black forest, you just got unlucky
>>747343271The problem is:a) Carts are complete ass and make moving shit from the mining location to your boat a pain.b) The ocean is pretty empty and dull, sailing quickly turns into watching youtube on a second monitor while glancing at the game. Especially if you're sailing back on a known route.It's not quite as bad if you have 2 or more players to help out, but it gets to be real annoying if you're solo.Like I said, I recommend doing it at least once for the experience, but it's not worth the time if you're doing repeat runs, which is mostly what you'll be doing.
>>747343254Best vibes in the entire game.I'd turn the in-game music down and play https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QtbIpUZ0b4QI found one of those stone towers near the shore, in better than usual condition, and after I cleared out the skellies it make a great landmark dock for karve expeditions.
>>747343878unless youre complete trash at video games, you will never have to sail back loads of metal more than 2 times at all, as you progress through the biomes
>>747343271gay nigger opinion, literally no fun to "sail", and by sail I mean rudder to the next shore for 15 minutes because wind is fucking gay every time, all the time, only to be insta killed from whatever cancer mob that's a 10x bump up in difficulty from whatever shithole equipment place you came from before, so you spend another 30 minutes gathering more materials for a boat, getting back to your body if you're lucky, then trying to make a new base 10 mobs come at you for a bukkake rape birthday surprise, that's assuming you can even get your shit back in the first place if it didn't sink into the ocean, oh you get super portals in the endgame well guess what faggot no one even got that far to even know that's a thing because it's super aids playing with those settings and I hope you reevaluate your life choices judging what other people consider fun (spoilers it ain't your gay ass opinion)
>>747343639>I didn't know about the campfire sitdown thing, thankslater on it can be nice to just place a workbench, chest(for stuff you can't teleport) and a portal, like in the middle of the Mistlands, place 3 objects and then get back to your home and sleep through a night and get a full comfort buff, come back and then pick the stuff up again
The end boss of this game are fucking deer.
>>747343271I stopped reading your post once you started the retarded projection rant.
unironically play this game on easy, trust me
>>747344007Maybe if you're living in a shack and speed running bosses, but if you enjoy base building you will need a mountain of metal, mostly iron.Speaking of which, I also recommend turning the loot drop rate to 1.5x. Perhaps higher if you have multiple players in a server.
>>747343271Shut the fuck up. Absolute goddamn retard.The restriction on ore is absolute garbage and everyone has already agreed on that. The only reason it exists is because the devs don't want you to basically set up one base and get ores from all different biomes.>if you don't play like me you-Shut the fuck up. Just because you like taking it in the ass doesn't mean that everyone else has to.
>>747325267The term was popularized by Fight Club you insufferable zoomlet. Just as the Red Pill bullshit was pulled from The Matrix.
>>747344370midwit post for sure, and an ignorant one because if you had actually played the game then youd know that you already have to set outposts up in other biomes because of farming biome restrictions. cant grow onions in the fucking snowy snow, nig nog>>747344346>he cant build interesting or functional buildings without heaps of iron beams because hes too dumb to understand the support systemso it really IS just you being trash at video games, glad we established that
>>747311887This game is dogshit. I turned off portal limitations and it instantly became super boring instead of super tedious.
>>747344370>and everyone has already agreed on thatevery redditor maybe
>>747344515get off 4chan nigger your wife and kids miss youdon't you have 200 unnecessary hours of pulling virtual carts across a procedurally generated wasteland to do this month? very sad my guy
>>747344515It depends entirely on how large of a building you want to make and how you want to decorate it. I like to build tall lighthouses and use the metal grates and sconces a lot. Plus I need lots of black metal for chests in my storage room that inevitable rivals an amazon warehouse.
>>747343271Shut the fuck up, just because you enjoy endless 20+ minute trips back home doesnt mean the rest of us do.
>>747343271i have better things to do with my limited time on this earth than haul digital rocks back and forth because some dev decided every single fucking thing in this game seems to be designed with no other purpose than to waste as much as your time as possible for the sake of wasting time and literally nothing elsei bet you could find an excuse for handcarts not fitting through the drawbridges as well you fucking bootlicker
cheese strats: the game
>>747343271i sure as fuck would need a second monitor if i had to hold W on the boat for 20 minutes, such engaging gameplayno thanks retard i'd rather actually play the game
Lmao the no life anon really getting the ick from everyoneAlmost feel sorry for him
>>747345323It’s ok to cheese the game because the game cheeses the player.
>>747345451>everyonemore like the one dude who got so offended he's samefagging on cooldown
>>747344346Thats absolute bullshit, the average cost of gear increases and the upgrade costs become obscene.
>>747343175Enemies aggro from a 500 mile radius from a single fart, and it only gets worse from there. I can't believe people put up with the tedium. This game really shows its age when playing more contemporary survival games like Abiotic (Who had a tight release schedule and always delivered on their promises, I might add)
>>747345657Don't think I've heard about abiotic until valheim 1.0 and then I've seen it get mentioned every thread.
>>747345580Butthurt ass nigga, go spend time with your kids for once.
>>747344874bold of you to assume i have a wife and children>>747345236you quite literally do not have better things to do with your time, and if you somehow DO, then that just means you dont belong here or on video games in general>>747345337i will grant that the ocean could do with more stuff in it, but i have never made a sail trip of any length without AT LEAST one serpent starting shit with me
>>747345451You would think NEETs would have all the time they want to make it through the “tedious” parts. But really their brains are fried by constant ZOOM, GOON, COOM that the minute they are not making number bigger they are wasting their time. My four friends and I had a blast chilling on the boat, telling stories, chatting about our weeks, sitting by the smelters anticipating our new materials to cook up.
>>747345863>without AT LEAST one serpent starting shit with medon't you see anon, that's just tedium to these guys, you were sailing and now you have monster to fight, it's so tediouscan't believe these devs would do this to me
>>747345774It's just an apt comparison of swedes vs aussies in terms of worth ethic. Abiotic has thoughtful game design versus Valheim with its tedium to prevent you from reaching its barebones endgame that only ups damage numbers and spawn rates to challenge the player.
>>747343271I'll play the game however I damn well please.
>>747345984unless you're still using the shitter raft you can simply keep going forwards and the serpent will eventually lose interestyou wouldn't know this because you don't play the game howeveralso samefag
>>747345985I'm sure they pay their employees well too
>>747311887I've given it like 10-20 hours now and I gotta say, I don't get the appeal. You whack a copper node 20 times and it yields 0 copper. The second you get to the black forest it's like enemies are just be summoned to your location at all times, and they absolutely won't give up chasing you. Then I went and watched video of ashlands gameplay and it's that x10. Then I see anons recommending not turning on portaling of resources? Are you insane? Is the entire appeal of this game spending 5 hours just to get 20 ore home?
>>747345939There's a difference between a zoom zoom and a possible 2 hour time wasteAlso the no lifer is getting triggered for some reason
>>747346103I dont think aboitic got paid in show ponies, but you can only ask for so much.
>>747346121yes

>>747311887is this game playable alone?
>>747346086not a samefaghowever>claims the ocean has no content>willingly sails straight past the content>waaaaaah the ocean is so empty and has no content so tis okay that i use cheat options to bypass sailing my metals back!!1!!1>also misses out on serpent food which is great early ondo you even hear yourself
>>747346731YeahConsider:>>747312675>>747322562>>747322736
>>747346808Yeah bro let me just waste even more time in this fucking timesink of a game by fucking around with serpents instead of focusing on my task.I just know you're a NEET on welfare.
>>747322806Big tits can't save whatever the fuck this is.
>>747347045>whining about time againi reiterateyou do not belong here or on video games in general if time is a 'factor' for youalso, bold of you to assume welfare does anything for NEETs. it does not. neetbux hasnt actually been a thing for nearly 15 years, anyone who still gets it is grandfathered in and all routes to getting it have been closed
>>747346808Sorry anon I'm only 50 hours into the game and I have never seen a serpent. Sorry you gotta put 300 hours into the game before it gets good I guess?
>>747345939based blast haver anon
>>747342852Personally, I recommend sticking to vanilla portal rules and instead focusing more on fully harvesting/exploring each area and building new bases as you go. If farming mats for the base is annoying, you can just increase the drop multiplier to like 1.5x and it shaves off a ton of time. Valheim is not a race to the finish. It is a game you take your time in.
>>747347146oh nounfortunately for you, i will continue staying here despite your non-authority claiming i don't belongfeel free to have an aneurysm whenever
I always end up just turning off the raids because the most effective strat is just cheesing their pathfinding or spawn-blocking anyway.
>>747346808You're arguing that ONE enemy in a biome that takes up 3/4th the landmass of the world in SPECIFIC weather conditions is justifiable content? Try gargling less swedish meatballs before coming to the table.
>>747346121On the one hand, the IRL 4 day long adventure for my original playgroup to get our first load of iron back from the swamp to our main base that involved building two bridges, constructing huge road that cut across an entire continent and a dangerous boatride in a storm was one of the most memorable experiences I have ever had in a video game.On the other hand, after having to go back and repeat this process 10 times over the next few days we quickly turned on the ability to teleport ore. That's the main issue with Valheim in general - it has all of the tools to give an incredible first experience, but afterwards it devolves into a lot of grinding. At least they give you the means to reduce travel time and grinding now, but around initial release it was a long commitment to do anything.
>>747347395no i just told you that i agree that the ocean could use some more contenthoweverarguing that it has ZERO content is false. it has serpents. and leviathans. though leviathans barely count at all
>>747347271Based. He will continue to stay here as well calling samefagging however. He will be forever seething we didn't waste 1500 hours of tedium in this game like he did.
>>747347271>>747347494i havent referred to as samefags so far but god damn do you seem to think very similarly/v/ is infested with dads these days it looks like
>>747347609don't you have another 50 minute ore trip to make? i hope you're not being a hypocrite and just auto-sailing while you shitpost, think about all those serpents you've been skipping.
>>747347718>50 minuteif your swamp is 50 minutes away then you have a supremely shit world seedmine is about 4 minutes away. up to about 200 iron now, more than enough for the whole rest of the gameguess how many trips that took me?twoand thats not even with the longship, its with the shit tier karve that has only 4 slots
>>747347862oh yeah you're still in the swamp because you're spending so much time not playing the game, that assumption was very inconsiderate of me
>>747347718kekthe fact that he insta replied shows how butt blasted he isI hope his wife and kids are doing okay
>>747347992not to worry anon, the plains is right next to the swamp on my world seed; im ready to move right on in once im ready. i want to find the swamp witch before i do though because feasts are goat for late game
>>747347609>zoomers are constantly amazed that old men exist on an old man websiteI don't know what to tell you, anon.
>>747348104umm and how would you know that? are you wikifagging? i have no respect for anyone who does this, this is basically cheating just like ore portalling
>>747347428>On the one hand, the IRL 4 day long adventure for my original playgroup to get our first load of iron back from the swamp to our main base that involved building two bridges, constructing huge road that cut across an entire continent and a dangerous boatride in a storm was one of the most memorable experiences I have ever had in a video game.One of the reasons I miss old minecraft.Played on servers recent years and with the Elytra everyone just zooms around to where we're going.In early minecraft, like beta days my base was maybe less than a thousand blocks away from my friends, so we started this great project connecting them by rail, and we had another friend who had a base sorta inbetween us, so we snaked the railway to connect to his base too.It is inconvenient to be unable to just teleport over or fly over, but it creates these great moments.>On the other hand, after having to go back and repeat this process..I think portals at all is part of the compromise.It's a great journey over, but you still want to see the old base and travelling back every time is inconvenient.We never needed that many iron trips, but the ship inventory feels maybe a bit small.I kinda wish it had separate slots for different items, I feel like 5 raspberries and 8 blueberries shouldn't compete for 2 stacks of iron.Initially I didn't like the metal portals you get in Ashlands, but at that point you're travelling too far, so they're kind of needed, I wonder if it would be better if they were just moved to Mistlands in the base game.
The game really needs a way to automate your base and defenses. The magic ballistae don't cut it and they're so tedious they're barely worth making.I want NPC thralls that do your smelting, farming, repairs, and base defense. It'll never happen, though, because the NPCs can't path for shit.
>>747348140its not about you being old anon. im nearing 40 myself.its about you not belonging here anymore yet continuing to hang around. normal people do not belong here. people with spouses and children do not belong here. they never did and if youve been around for as long as you claim, then you would know that. you are literally that weird old guy who insists on continuing to hang around the club long past when its inappropriate for you to do so, except instead of straight age, in this case it has to do with the fact that you're a fucking normie
>>747311887gonna start on monday, my friends are busy this weekend with some bullshit family weddingat least a lot of QoL got updated, we're not playing without auto sorting chests and 'quick stack to nearby containers' mods
>>747348253because the games been out for years and its not my first playthrough you dumb dumb stupid head
>>747320480>The question is, have any of the craft from containers addons been updated?yep, we've got auto sorting chests, craft from containers, quick stack and auto tagging POI on map working on a dedicated server
is azucraftyboxes working for anyone? it got updated yesterday but it isn't working for me
>>747348337>I waste my time on a slop indie anti quality-of-life game>am I out of touch?>no it's the children who are wronggo to bed grandpa several people exposed your life waster already>>747329123there are just better games at this point stop trying to slop your autism
>>747348303>and defenses. The magic ballistae don't cut it aYeah I don't really think much of the defense stuff.The raid mechanics aren't sophisticated enough.It's a very cool idea in theory, that you'd build this stronghold, and a troll would smash through a wall and a group fo coordinated enemies would swarm in and fight you and maybe steal your gold, but in practice, even if we had that, it would be so annoying to clean up>wait, how did this wall look, did I place it further out, I better look at some screenshots.You'd need some solution for that.I hope eventually there's a game like Valheim that'll basically save a blueprint of your base, and then you'd have a siege, the base would get wrecked, but then it would get autorepaired using your materials.Ideally, you'd see your little minions walk around and put everything back in place.Raids as they are don't really bother me in the game rn, they're just kind of boring and is just a reminder of lost potential.Like they're maybe neat the first time each type happens.
>thread about a videogame>the discussion is entirely centered around tedium, time wastes, and whether or not playing it is even worth itthink I'm going to have to trust my gut here and skip this one, thanks
>>747348893it's actually a lot of fun
What are these statues offering?
>>747348784The simple solution is to have destroyed structures leave a ghost structure behind that can only be seen when holding the hammer. Then all you have to do is pick up the raw materials and click to repair it.I would also make the repair hammer have an AoE effect so you don't have to autisticaly hunt down every little piece.
>>747348893The game is legitimately good until you reach mistlands and ashlands. Devs dropped the ball hard.
>>747329021Skill issue
>>747348893Don't worry it's just one 40 year old autistic unc who's wife and children misses him very much.>>747348784I had a dream about Valheim last night where you could actually recruit npcs to your base, and you could recruit a "king" where if he defeated enough enemies he would level up to protect your base more and do other things. Also there was stuff like auto repair and base building, mostly cosmetic, up to a point that was pretty cool.
>friends aren't interested in a second playthrough>already bored and i've not even reached the swampthis game is dogshit without an army of friends to split tasks with
>>747349318mistlands is one hundred and ten percent a brainlet filter meant to sieve out the retards who have no sense of direction and no navigational skills thanks to their brains being fried out by 0 effort required waypoint-everywhere modern games slop
>>747349261>The simple solution is to have destroyed structures leave a ghost structure behind that can only be seen when holding the hammer.I don't know how simple it is to implement, but that's my wish.I think I saw some mod that where you could save blueprints and place entire structures, so it feels like it maybe is within the realm of possibility of even Valheim modding.>Then all you have to do is pick up the raw materials and click to repair it.My ideal would probably be so that you'd have like a center "hearth" structure or something, that would cover a radius that would pull resources from storage and repair/rebuild the structures x minutes after combat is over, or like once you activate it.But maybe walking around and just hammering the ghost structures isn't too bad, especially with an AoE like you say.You could have a specific tool, like an Iron Hammer, which is like a special building hammer, and you only see the ghost structures when you have it up, so you don't see transparent ghost structures all the time.Like I would be psyched every time I get an invasion with a system like that.
last time i played I managed to get to plains but then the mosquitos and goblins raped me, is the progression better or is it still fucking you know what i mean
>>747348893It's not a bad game, you just have to customize the difficulty to make it less tedious and grindy.You can mostly do it with the in-game settings, but there's also mods if you want to go further.In theory, the tedium and grind balances out if you have a group of 4+ players logging in frequently, but in reality most people don't have a group like that.>>747349318I don't mind mistlands, it's got a steep difficulty curve but with some effort you can master it. Ashlands is just a shitshow, though. You can never relax there. The biome only makes you wish you were in literally any other biome.
>>747322562increasing drop rates doesn't make more iron spawn in crypts unfortunately since that's a loot table thing and not a drop rate thing
>>747343271Lmao check out all these triggered spergs you got
>>747349689You're right they should have spent an extra 150 hours slowly pushing a cart across the swamp to git gooddumb nigger retard
>>747349743>increasing drop rates doesn't make more iron spawn in crypts unfortunately since that's a loot table thing and not a drop rate thingDepends if the crypt was generated before or after the change.
>>747349695There's a mod that makes wards do a wide radius repair like that, and another that adds AoE hammer repair.
>>747349760yeah they really went off the deep end with it lol>>747349835>implying i use a cart in the swampdont be silly just go find the black forest merchant and buy bigger pockets
>>747349689i love sitting at home doing nothing but gathering wisps for ten hours because this game's sole purpose is to waste time, the alternative is to get assraped by beetles while blindno thanks retard i'll just use ol' reliable ValheimPlus to up the mistlight's range a hundred fold
The fact that most people insist on cheating and teleporting ore back instead of simply making a forge next to the swamp is proof modern gamers are retarded, ADHD-ridden bags of shit
>>747325636it's a tunic and pants with a hood, what?
>>747349995Name one other survival game where gamers do thisOh wait most other survival games have actual QOL past 2012 dumb faggot
>>747349689Mistlands is an acquired taste. Ashlands is absolutely awful design through and through, though. Note, I haven't been to Ashlands since the 1.0 release - not sure how much they "fixed" it like the patch notes claim.
>>747349965I think you may have missed the context of the conversion, we're talking about the concept rebuilding already destroyed structures, go back further for full contextor drop the mod if you didn't miss the context
>>747328747>This pick is going to be irrelevant in 4 hours anyway.then why bother upgrading it?
>>747350138Nah I get it, I was just saying there are already some mods that get halfway there.
>>747350119they lowered the spawn rate of enemies outside of the forts and deliberate raids dramatically. its still kind of shit but its much better
>>747350103Note: by QOL I mean tools that remove all friction from my game. Also, I'm trans
>>747328808because it hurts your armwhen you get into a car crash, you still get hurt even though you're not physically making contact with the other caralso the reason you're getting staggered is you don't have enough block armor/defense/health, or some combination of the three
>>747350245ah kk cool
>>747349995Iron has the mistake of being needed for (nearly) every biome's upgrade path past the swamp, though - as well as being required for any serious construction so you end up needing far more iron than any other material in the game. Your solution works great the first time.
>>747328808>Makes it totally pointless when you are staggered along with the enemy.looks kinda sick tho
>>747350174You can't even upgrade it that much due to bench requirements. The other anon is a retard arguing about things that wouldn't happen anyway
>>747349995i already have one base where i get constantly harassed by (at that point in the game) suicidal retards thanks
The fact that one autistic nigger here keeps defending a game missing QoL features that other similar games have had for 10+ years now and cries about people not turning on optional features that makes it even more tedious on top of that is hilarious to me.
>>747350476Well good news, retard: you can't be in two places at once, so it doesn't fucking matter
so should I bother with upgrades or not?
>>747350514The fact you are low IQ and can't explain anything beyond saying QOL this or that is hilarious to us
>>747350574okay but i already built the first base, i dug a trench around it and put walls downwhy should i waste my time doing that once per biome?
>>747338259by the time you get it, you have no levels for it, and it'll always be far behind your other skills unless you go out of your way to grind the skill up to a useful levelthe witch should sell you a weak wand or something that give you a 5 eitr mana bar that lets you ignite enemies, so you can at least train the skill before reaching an endgame biome

People unanimously agrees that Valheim is an absolute grindfest. It's just that most people play multiplayer so resources gathering is not that bad for them.

>>747347476leviathans are just glorified ore nodes for completely optional equipment
>>747348303breeding wolves and lox as guards is good for base defense
>>747351804>minecraft server female skinoh right it's 2026 have the mods finally evolved enough to integrate this?
>>747352362you kidding? lox are more likely to wreck your base "defending it" than most enemies in the game
>>747352562The lox is for base defenseThe wolves are for killing the enemies before the Lox destroys the base
>>747349689Scouring the mistlands for dungeons while essentially blindfolded is quite unenjoyable, compounded by the fact that the tools they give you to remove the blindfold barely do anything. The mistlight barely gets rid of any fog despite the fact that it's in the same slot as the much more useful megingjord, and the mistwalker sword somehow manages to be even less useful since it has a radius of like 5 meters
>>747342657same but the people I play with will shit themselves if they cannot turn their vikings into gaccha girls and have a free cam and quitiple item stack etc etc.it's tiresome.
>>747349715>>747349715neither should be raping you if you have the appropriate gear (silver-tier)that said, you can use the root harness you can get from the swamp to trivialize the plains since it cuts all pierce damage (what most enemies there do) by 50%
>>747352838>The mistlight barely gets rid of any fog despite the fact that it's in the same slot as the much more useful megingjord, and the mistwalker sword somehow manages to be even less useful since it has a radius of like 5 metersThat aspect is apparently a bit better now.
>>747349889that's not how it works anonI made a world with 3x rates and a world with 1x rates and the amount of iron i was averaging per crypt looted was about the same, minus the iron i was getting from the poop piles
>>747349835>>747349974Seeing as neither of you play the game: the cart is unironically best utilized in the swamp, since the ground is so flat, and the cart floats no matter how heavy it is, so you can easily drag it behind you through the marshes
>>747353075The poop piles are the main source of iron you stupid fuck
>>747352968Root Harnesk is really good.I was looking at all my characters like a week ago.One character had just beaten Queen, the other still looking for Queen.Defaulted to the same kind of stuff.It's a bit better in a way now too, since Bonemass is nerfed.
I haven't played the game in several years but one of the vivid memories I have is watching a troll take out a good chunk of my base during a raid.Should I just turn raids and shit off? Not big on building but I'll do it for a cool house, but having to build shit AGAIN because enemies tear down my structures and explode chests sounds terrible.
>>747349975You can place your wisp rock in the swamp and it will always generate wisps, since it's always raining in the swamp, and wisps only generate when it's night or when it's raining.>>747349995You can't teleport smelted iron either. >>747350335 is right.>>747350623Depends on how time-intensive it is to get the material for upgrades, and how useful they are for other prospects. Generally speaking, it's safe to skip upgrading your gear every other tier, for the most part:>upgrade all your flint tools as much as you can>skip upgrading any bronze age tools, except for maybe your bronze axe once, and your bronze sword/atgeir if you made one>don't upgrade any iron-tier gear, it'll be immediately outclassed by silver>upgrade your silver gear because silver isn't used for anything else and you get shitloads of it per vein>don't bother upgrading your black metal gear except for the axe and pick because it'll be outclassed by carapace and magic stuff, and linen is better spent there>upgrade your mistlands gear because it's all easily farmable>ashlands is hell and I've never been, good fucking luck>haven't been to the deep north
>>747353782Raids may seem intimidating at first, but you'll get over it soon enough.But also.Raids are kind of meh, so you don't really miss out much if you do disable them.Like I think the first time seeing each raid is maybe a good thing, but anything after that is whatever.
>>747350676You deserve a non-troll replyIdeally, you have 3-4 bases per playthrough:One near the black forest, so that you can bring back copper, iron, and silver.One in the plains on the border of the mistlands, so that you can craft eitr stuff.One in the ashlands for flametal gear, ideally on a peninsula you've spawn blocked.(One in the deep norf)
>>747348526You got any mod names for those king?
>>747352562that's why you put them outside the base wall
>>747353336no anon, getting 20-30 iron PER CHEST inside the crypts is the way you get ironthe poop piles give you like 3-5 iron per pile if you're lucky
>>747353782Raids generally target you, the player character. They only target your base if they can't get to you, or if they lose aggro on you. They also barely ever happen unless you turn up their rate from normal -> more common. That said, you're not missing out on much at all by disabling them.
>>747349995Truly, grinding the same resources 5x to build the same 5 crafting outposts as the devs intended is top tier gameplay and not arbitrary grind.Iirc their initial reasoning was that seafaring will become more in-depth so hauling resources to your base was supposed to be more interesting, but they immediately backpedalled on that and we're stuck with how it is now.
Why do the rare spawn werewolves in the mountains not drop any fenrir hide or claws, just a dumb trophy? Same with ulves?

Honestly I'm amazed he ever caved and put that dumbass scythe or farming as a skill into the game, much less the training dummies to farm skill on.Dude put a patch out where you had a button that stacked shit from you inventory into a box and that was like the extent of QoL he'd ever allow unless you modded it in, and that took years to add after release.You cook and craft way too much god damn shit in this game to not have crafting from containers bare minimum, simple as.
>>747356643Hildir is my waifu
>>747356643What else are you going to use your stacks upon stacks of gold on? By the time you find hildr, you'll have encountered the plains, and by then you'll have piles of the stuff sitting around from all the goblins you've been genociding. Also, the building clothes are only 250 and 150 coins respectively.That said, I think the game should start you off in them rather than a pigskin shirt, seeing as by the time you get them, your building skill will already be high enough that there will be no point in your sacrificing 2/3 of your armor for a little stamina reduction. The farming set I understand because the bonus is so strong, but not the building sets.
>>747357134Build from storage should never be added; shitters need to learn how to organize their storage and take what they need accordingly. You should be able to plant 2x2 and 3x3 grids with the plow, however. The scythe was a moronic addition; the tedium was never from harvesting your crops, it was planting them. There's also no reason to gate it behind defeating MODER of all things, on top of needing to find the bog witch.

>>747360939>tardwrangling the shitty barely functional carts onto a boatnigga what are you doing, the boat has storage slotsif you're trying to cheese more storage onto your boat, you can build a rudimentary funnel over the ship, build the cart in the funnel, transfer any ore you have into the cart, then break the cart to make it drop crates that contain the ore down the funnel and onto your boat. The crates are less glitchy than the cart over open water, and they don't weigh a million pounds like a cart full of ore does either
Judging from the descriptions here this shit is still definitely not 1.0
>>747362828if you put any stock into what's said on /v/, no games are good or finished
>>747353075>that's not how it works anon>I made a world with 3x rates and a world with 1x rates and the amount of iron i was averaging per crypt looted was about the same, minus the iron i was getting from the poop pilesHere's my test.Also Crypts are in the same spot in the same seed, but it's not the exact same Crypt and they seem to have a random orientation.I was surprised they were all even 30s, but I guess they don't create new stacks, so with 3x you actually get between 1.5x to 3x iron from the chests, depending on if you rolled 10-20 on the iron.I also don't know how a 3x rate yields 4 rubies.
>>747362915>I also don't know how a 3x rate yields 4 rubies.oh wait, it probably rolls it 3 timesso a check for rubiesthen three 1-4 rolls1+1+2=4

They should just lock the QoL behind progression
>>747363343but they have? you unlock ore transportation through portals in the ashlands.
>>747311887I boughted it on release and played it for an hour - too many other games
>there is no map marker for your ship>but you can make map markers yourself>except there's no ship icon>and no icon color codingman fuck this game, honestly
>>747312189Like all modern Survialslop games up all the sliders by 2-3x to lessen the grind to a normal amount. Also allow yourself to use portals however you want then that game is playable.
>>747311887disappointed with the small amount of content they added. Would have liked a dungeon revamp and better quality assets and improved UI. Seems like a really lackluster release that they were basically forced to do because of steams ea policies. I'd expect them to ghost the game. Won't be playing unless we get some substantive patches and mods updated
>>747323841yes it is
>die in another island>make a raft to recover my ship>lmao sea serpent says no>have to make another big ship>need to get another mountain of deer hidesi spend more time groaning at this game than actually having fun
After playing Abiotic Factor every other Survival Crafting game just feels like shit to play. There is so many creative little QOL base things you can create to make your life easier in that game everything else feels like a boring chore.
>>747362915huhi stand corrected>they seem to have a random orientation.i wish they'd fix the entrances being misalignedalmost every crypt i find had that fuckass triangular hole at the back of the entrance that i always somehow find myself getting stuck in at inopportune momentsyou can tell it's not an intentional thing too because it's literally the corner of the hole the crypt structure is supposed to cover, only it's not rotated properly
>>747363238what do you mean? you get 270 degrees of valid wind
>>747363868Dying has consequences, but it's as hard as you want it to be based on how much planning you do.

>>747363976yeah I think I got stuck in one of those once for a bit.I assume when they generate the crypt, they also lower the terrain at the center, so the terrain doesn't cover the insides of the staircase going down, the problem is that the crypt isn't wide enough you get these holes in the side.Feels like they should be able to fix this fairly easy with a slight model change.

I despise mistlands but absolutely love ashlands
>>747364661didn't know Men posted in this thread
>>747364286You know you can zoom in and out, right?
>>747358886but you need iron gear way before mistland
>>747364661i fucking hate mistlands because of the prep work required to do anything in there without getting assraped by bugs jumping out of the mist. the torches have a humiliating range and the mist totem generates wisps at embarrassing rates and only hold up to 5 at a time AND the wisp fountain only works during the night
>>747364958i think he's saying you can get the bare minimum from a swamp, and then get the rest for any additional needs from mistland bridges>>747364990>get lvl4 root chest>get upgraded silver helmet & pants or upgraded padded helmet & pants>get frostnernow you're chilling
>>747364990oh also, put your wisp fountain in the swamp so it always generates wispsmake a portal to it so you don't have to live near one
>>747365285>chillingnot in the mistlands you aren't
>>747365354huh. i had no idea it required low light rather than nighttime. i guess this is what i get for not looking up each and every item on the wiki
Fishing is still kinda abysmal
>>747365285>>747365416For mistlands my default has been>padded helm, root harnesk, fenris or padded legs>firewine ready to negate the fire weakness>blackmetal knife & blackmetal sword, to be replaced with skoll and hati & mistwalkerand it's pretty chillI think Frostner is better in Mistlands, but I use swords more.Better AoE damage isn't as necessary in mistlands which is the great thing about swords.
>>747365494I think it's weather condition rather than light per se.Rain or night, and it's always raining in the swamp.
>>747365494it's more night or rain rather than low light, but yeah it'd be helpful if it said that specifically. i guess technically someone could put it together if they noticed their fountain was collecting wisps while it was daytime and raining, but i agree that's an esoteric deduction to think about putting it in a swamp>>747365708yeah...it sucks that the fishing hat needs every fish, so you can only make it past the point where its usefulalso apparently if you want the bonus fishing loot like ores or treasure or seeds, you need to reel the fish all the way in until it automatically enters your inventory; you can't just drag it onto land and then pick it up>>747366091good combos

>>747366751>thread from fucking aprilwhat the fuck is wrong with that board
>>747367062I don't see the problem other than the lack of mp servers running in that thread.
>>747312189The game is balanced around having the rested buff so keep that up at all times. Don't wander out at night unless you're confident and move on to better food as soon as you're able to cook it. The rest is best figured out on your own as you play.
>>747366851>>747367062slow threads are categorically better than fast ones
>>747311887It's a shame they never added sensible controls like right click to move items into or out of chests. Then there's still no way to autosort everything to chests in base, craft from chests, or favorite items to avoid quick-stacking those. I'll wait on the QoL mods to get updated.

>>747360874pretty much this. even with mods its just not fun at all from the swamp. even fracking starbound isnt this anti fun because you can just rig up a data center on some high tier planet to print research points
is it morally acceptable to put it on 2x resources when i hit the swamps
>>747322806show a good example
>>747361098yeah, "quickstack store sort trash restrock" was one of my favorite mods, especially the feature that lets you favorite items similarly to terrariathe modder who made it hasnt updated anything on thunderstore in 2 years, so we might need to wait for someone else to make a similar mod

>>747369495yes3x even
>>747369495You're not missing much by skipping the amount of time whacking the ore. But getting the ore home is an important challenge to overcome.
>>747325267>like dumbasszesty lil femmy zoom
game is inherently flawed because of the stamina system.making every single action use this same resource is stupid and running out of stamina practically the same as running out of health as you'll die in a microsecond should it happen around enemiescompounding this problem is the matter of how rules regarding stamina are not applied to enemies, so you'll have enemies like wolves attack you unceasingly because they don't have any stamina to care about.enemies are also absurdly tanky for how many of them spawn in at once; often forcing you to run away even if you're overgeared because you'll just end up running out of your precious stamina and getting stunlocked. this is even worse if a 1 or 2-star enemy spawns in which can often kill you in one or two hits even with "appropriate" gear.oh wait actually you can't run away because enemies have infinite stamina so they can run infinitely and their chase range is functionally infinite as well basically just making you completely fucked.these are just problems with one basic functionality of the game and doesn't even touch on the completely absudly fucked design of something like the mistlands or bosses that take 400+ arrows to kill
>>747371906> But getting the ore home is an important challenge to overcome.yeah, watching a youtube video on my second monitor while slowly sailing in an empty ocean is such a great challenge
>wanted a meadows + plains near each other for easy farms and access to water>find one but there's literally a dvergyr village right next to it exactly where I want to build>while I'm in leather armor only just killing eikthyr before I ran up to this shit>tfw luring in fulings and lox to clear it out for me and getting slaughtered from time to timeAt least I won't have to hoe out 80 billion shit now.
so what did they even spend all these years doing? i last played in mistlands and the game isn't any better, there's just very slightly more of it. i don't mind simplicity, but there's clearly zero passion put into this game
>>747312189Allow transport through portalsIncrease resource gain to maxThat's it. The game is a grindy, slog if you don't do these two things.
>>747372687All I'm hearing is that you're bad at stamina management, and refuse to engage with the basic mechanics that allow you to get the most out of the system.What you're describing would only ever happen if you aren't rested, and you're either cold, wet, or both.You can quite literally disengage from most combat scenarios by simply walking away, and maybe shimmying to the left or right to dodge projectiles. Pressing S to get out of range of an attack also works instead of committing to a dodge roll. Regarding wolves; they can't pivot worth a damn, so you can walk circles around them and occasionally tap sprint to get a little burst of speed while your stamina regenerates.>bosses that take 400+ arrows to killHave you perhaps considered that possibility that you're using the wrong damage type for that boss? Sounds like you tried to use a bow on bonemass, a boss that has a massive piercing damage resistance.
>>747372937>Forest is Moving just spawned on top of the remainder of the dvergyr village I as throwing benches down inFucking niggers
>>747373106>so what did they even spend all these years doing?it's like 5 guys or whatever and they got 15 million dollars or some shitwhat do you think they did? nothing.

i spent 2 hours trying to find the first trader, let out a deep exhale and closed the game again.
>a hate letter to fans
>>747369495anon.... you're not trying to deceive me, are you? are you talking to me as a human being? what reason would you have to deceive me?
the game has problems but 90% of the complaints itt are due to skill issues
there's no way this game ever gets another update or more content to flesh the game out/improve shit like boss fights or anything, right?
>>747311887>pirate it>enter game, prompts show with controls>to dodge you gotta hold block and press space>cant bind it to single button>deletecant stand controller slop.
>>747374117I can't kill 30 guys with a level 1 flint spear. They did eventually leave and now I have 1 million stake walls while I figure out what the fuck to do.And 12 bee nests because the village itself must have had 4 by itself.
>>747375617I can't imagine how hard life must be for you if you give up on something over the smallest shit

>>747375052Queen is the hate letter solo and the hate is amplified if you want to play without magic or if you use the crossbow.Surely there's some .kill command I can use on her when I finally make it back to mistlands.
>>747375898have you perhaps considered making a level 2 flint spear? maybe a level 2 flint axe? those guys are afraid of fire, you can carry a torch offhand or place a campfire to make most of them panic, except for brutes and shamans
>>747376930krom pokes and poison bombs are goated
>>747377424I was busy running several miles, killing the dvergyr village via Lox, and only having mushrooms, raspberries, and honey to eat.The only reason eikthyr is dead is because I didn't want to run 15 miles uphill in the snow both ways, I slammed down a few benches to make sure all the drops didn't despawn and then the goon squad showed up.This is one of those "series of outrageous events" types of moments you get from pure RNG vidya that you can't really do anything about.
Mistlands made me want to cut my head off. I kinda want to play this again but I heard Ashlands is even worse and I don't think I can handle that.
>play sea of thieves>forced to quit because 99% of the gameplay is sailing into the wind with absolutely nothing happening>play valheim>forced to quit because 99% of the gameplay is sailing into the wind with absolutely nothing happeningI can't wait to play the next game that does this.

>>747343271I had the same opinion a while ago, until me and my bros died and lost a lot of shit, so we had to go get iron again. Except getting iron involved us finding another swamp (since we used up the three near us) and boating there. Shit was legit awful and tedious by that point. The vibes get lost pretty quick once you've done it a few times.
>>747380847how do you lose all your shit? you leave a gravestone when you do

>>747383349>man drives into a bad neighborhood full of wriggling black things and gets carjacked>"owari da"many such cases
>>747312189tip: the first biome is the meadows, the one adjacent to it is black forest. you can find copper and tin in black forest; there are trolls around too. normally, you have to beat the boss of the meadows to get an item that would allow you to get these two ores to make bronze, but forget that. just aggro a troll and he'll break them for you with his dick, and basically, you get a good head start. you can do this up until the fourth biome, by which I mean, you can find alternative ways to acquire certain important resources. after which, you'll have to defeat bosses and get their drops in order to progress.>fine woodthe same tactic of aggroing the troll will work, he can destroy these trees for you.>ironnormally you get it in the swamps, but you can also get it from special dungeons called sealed towers which exist inside the plains. you can find their location by finding the female vendor somewhere in a meadow biome that is X distance away from your spawn point. bring ice arrows, which you can get from the mountains. mountains have ice caverns, which have certain resources inside that will allow you to circumvent the need for frost resistance potions.>silverusually you use a treasure detector you get from a boss, but you can forge a hammer made of deer heads called the stagbreaker. take it to the mountain and "prospect" for ore by randomly slamming the ground. when you see the text "too hard" pop up, you've hit an ore.sorry if you consider this to be "spoilers" but I'm just trying to help.
>>747385368recommending that he try and sequence break on his first playthrough is certainly a choice
>deer dudecan skip, mine copper and tin with trolls>eldercan skip, clip into crypts with chair>bonemasscan skip, look for silver with stagbreaker or clip into landscape with log bench>modercant skip>yagluthcan skip, travel in mistlands blind>queencan skip, travel to rock spikes on longship and build bridges between them
>>747386127>clip into landscape with log benchplease elaborate upon how to do this, or provide a video
>>747386008I figure that most people can sequence break in this way as long as this isn't their very first vidya. if nothing else, at least learn how to goad the troll into destroying ore and trees for you.>>747386297https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kybeRpuQZoA
