Ra Ra Rasputin posted:I hope in a future update they make it so comfort items radius is vastly increased, it's weird having to hunt for the most comfy spot in large buildings. Yeah, and it feels weird to throw a banner up inside a building because the sleeping rooms aren't close enough to the walls to get within the radius. Also benches overriding chairs sucks.  on the plus side I can build sconces now and so can actually loving see things inside without a torch or weird standing ones. Also can stock heads on stakes. Bronze brings some really nice advances to comfort.

I'm debating whether or not to kill Bonemass on my group's "main" server or get people together to kill him on a mirror server. My friends are mostly casual builder types and I'm concerned killing Bonemass will ramp up the difficulty and dissuade them from Viking legos. Is the increase in difficulty noticeable after Bonemass? Do wolves and ice drakes attack your base after he's been defeated?

In my experience the comfort bonus gets overwritten if you walk into a more comfortable area while you're a full rest. My rested timer amount always jumps up when I walk through my main hall where all the decorations are on the way out the door

I find it bright enough that I don't need light for most things, but I'll be damned if anytime I try to build in the dark I wake up and find out none of my poo poo is lined up right and I've got random pieces snapped to the wrong things. For those of you who may ask "why build in the dark?" I don't have a good answer, I just can't stop.

So I'm going about my viking business and I see an oddly pointy rock ahead. I was going to sail over anyways because I'm always mapping sandbars, rocks, and other navigation hazards and... I know this must be a world gen bug because the whole vicinity is a screwy barely submerged area but it looks cool. Not pictured: the dragur making angry ineffectual dragur noises under my longboat. My map now contains a marker 'sunken hut'. I love this game.

A friend gave me his old sweaty Wolf armor and Silver sword + shield so I kinda leapfrogged a lot of stuff in the swamp and mountain. I went straight for crypts / dragon eggs and killed Bonemass and Moder tonight. Bonemass is just a HP sack not really interesting. I hope they adjust the amount of HP depending on the amount of players in the vicinity (like they add or remove the boss trophies). There's really no reason I should spend 200 arrows on a boss from a perch. I know this is early access but the bosses are kind of... not fun. The swamp can eat dicks (blobs are just annoying) but I really dig the mountains (sometimes literally, heehee). The blizzard/snow storm casts a really good ambiance. Seems like with the Artisan's table I got a shitload of new crafting to do and head for the mountains. I have yet to buy anything from the merchant, I'm waiting to have 999/999 gp to visit him. What are the must have items?

Fishing rod is a fun gimmick but it’s not a very efficient way to farm food. There’s also a headlamp which is pretty neat and I found it to be helpful in the swamps when I was doing mass earth flattening.

Bonemass is "supposed" to be a melee fight as a poison pot pretty much negates all of its damage. But the throng of adds that move in on you make it zero fun to hang out there, there isn't enough stamina regen to keep everything under control. I like stuff to be a challenge but they pretty much rigged it so everyone is gonna cheese it with arrows.

Throw in some sea caves full of sea serpents. If they do add underwater stuff I'd like to preemptively mock the first person that drowns because they only brought one water-breathing potion and are now going off about how this game is stupid, underwater levels are stupid, and this game is too punishing.

because server sizes are so small, rather than spin up a valheim specific discord that'll get one post per fortnight after about a month, it might make sense to just create a private games server thread and have people coordinate in there.

But the throng of adds that move in on you make it zero fun to hang out there, there isn't enough stamina regen to keep everything under control. Turnip stew, sausages, and honey (for regen) is the answer. Just put honey and poison resist on hotbar, refresh as needed, fully upgraded iron mace and you're set. Dodge roll his melee attack and triple hit (double if you're cautious.) When he vomits just zip out of the area and take a breather while you regen stamina to full. Strategy for the adds differs. For a fast kill, slam him for extra hits while he's winding up to throw the blob o' enemies. For a longer but more chill fight, run to where the blob will land and kill all 4 spawns in one or two swings. His ridiculous telegraph times for his attacks is what makes this fight manageable. It takes more effort and time to cheese him than to just kill him.

Do we know if weather is based on world seed? This new world I'm on the weather is absolutely nuts. It's almost always a storm that makes hurricanes look like nothing or fog so thick you can't see the end of your boat. I kept track of the first 50 days and there was only 6 days with playable weather.

Hi, I just need to vent. Post-boss-3 spoilers My game has no silver apparently. I got the wishbone from Bonemass, and ran around 3 mountains (what I've learned are very small mountains), and it didn't signal one time. I wasted a ton of time sailing, finding mountains, making some sort of encampment and finding absolutely nothing on mountains. One of the 3 had obsidian at least. Today, I just sailed 2/3 the way to the edge of the map and found a fourth, bigger mountain. I ran around it and finally got the wishbong to ping. I dug and dug... and I'm as low as I can go... and there's no silver. My wishbone is ringing like mad, and I can't go any lower. If I move in any direction, the signal is less-intense. I love this game, but all this represents like a week or more of play sessions for me, and I just want to poo poo myself about it Thanks

Can animal attacks be parried or blocked with a shield? What's the secret to parrying a troll attack? I tried it a few times but I can't seem to get the timing right and then I have to run for my life after he smashes me.

My silver tier has been cursed as well, but for different reasons. Somehow the game decided to start just not saving progress randomly. I am running with some mods, so it could well be my fault. Hard to test, though, when it's very hit or miss. But I had to redo my 'scout out a mountain and mark the silver veins for mining' trip like 4 times because it just kept losing everything and loading me back up before I left the base. When I was finally at the 'if this happens once more I'm just going to spawn the ore in' level of frustration, then it magically decided to start working fine and I mined out 5 or 6 silver veins worth. Although it did screw up again and lose a little bit of mining progress, but fortunately that save was only about half an hour of progress I did one morning before work, so it didn't hurt much to redo. And with how many times I had to go back for more iron, I decided I was going to stock up on as much silver as I could. And I think I probably mined out way too much. I'm guessing that tier is unfinished, being early access and all. But at least I'll have a couple of chests of silver ore if and when they introduce more things to do with it. E: Zwabu posted:Can animal attacks be parried or blocked with a shield? So far I haven't seen anything that can't be parried. Animals and trolls definitely can be. The game is really forgiving on its parry window, but you don't want to wait too long. If you're trying to parry like you would in a souls-like game and hitting it right as the swing connects, you're too late. Big slow viking can't lift shield fast. You want to be early, like start the parry when the enemy has just started their swing towards you. Some enemies do have a long windup and then swing quite quickly, though, so it can help to just normal block a few hits while you get used to the timing and then just go off of memory rather than watching for specific cues.

Zwabu posted:Can animal attacks be parried or blocked with a shield? Yes I've parried animals I think, they don't have big wind ups though so it's tough to time The parry window on trolls seems pretty generous. Hit the button when they reach back to take a swing at you I think? Remember you need at least a bronze shield. Wood shields don't have the blocking power to stop trolls

This is a purpose-made comfort pit. It has everything needed to reach 16(no lox rug yet). If I wiggle a little to the right, I'll hit 16, even though I'm well within radius of everything where I stand. The hearth is under the floorboards, but it doesn't need to be lit if the brazier is, according to the wiki. It can't be the hearth anyway, because that's 2 comfort. Basically, I think comfort is a little jank right now.
