I'm imagining drakes dropping eggs and then hatching them in some kind of hatchery or nest. The portals already simulate travel time so there's some kind of precedent for simulating motion through unloaded spaces. There could even be some kind of chance of a drake getting waylaid and then you need to do a boat expedition to go retrieve it's cargo from a troll or Fuling raiding party.

litany of gulps posted:Every single time I take my longship instead of a karve I regret it. I went sea serpent hunting and I thought surely, surely this was the one area where the longship would shine. It has the durability, the broad deck for fighting, the speed. But none of that matters because if you go too fast the abyssal harpoon line breaks and you lose the serpent anyway. It's just a fat turd of a ship that gets bogged down on every random rock that you can't see because it's a fat turd of a ship. 100% disagree with this. Love the longship; wanted to keep the karve for rivers but I quickly got good enough that it's totally unnecessary and the more deliberate approach required makes sailing a lot more interesting. It can be wicked pain in the rear end to get unstuck if you gently caress up though so I can see the source of frustration. It's a literal counter intuitive sometimes because you need to turn into the rock you're going around to get space, and you have to avoid the urge to turn away from something to get more clearance because you'll go from fine to not fine very quick if you do it close to the obstacle. xzzy posted:If they ever do an overhaul of the game systems I'd like to see them do looping tiers of enemies and armor tiers. Like as you push further from the center of the world you unlock Black Forest mark 2 with Red Trolls that hit harder than furlings, but you need to get to the sweet Copper 2 veins in that area. And after you work through Iron 2 and Silver 2 and Black Ore 2 you loop around again to Copper 3. This is basically new game plus and I love it. As alternative to scaling as you get further away you could also do it as a portal you can construct to the next altar. Would let you bring in things that aren't ore so it's not a complete wipe. Alternatively just do what you said and make the biomes repeat past a certain longitude. Just do some palette swaps and through some prefixes around like "enchanted". At a minimum being able to select a new game plus option when starting a new seed. Implementing one of these would also give players an opportunity to experience new content that comes out that they have already surpassed.

Main thing I want is just either bronze bars to produce 2 at a time for 2 copper 1 tin, or lower the HP of the copper veins so you spend less time whacking them for a 50% chance of one copper.

i dont really mind that bronze is a pain to make. that's the big reason iron surpassed it. Iron isnt really much harder than bronze but its way easier to mass produce.

Bronze should be 1:1 to the inputs, it's not exactly a lossy alloy process Make tin a little more rare, and make it 11 copper + 1 tin = 12 bronze

Which items should I prioritize with iron? We have about 50 bars from the first crypt. I made a stone cutter, but we're torn about which items we need to make first for biggest QoL improvement. Pickaxe? Armor? Weapons?

Azhais posted:Bronze should be 1:1 to the inputs, it's not exactly a lossy alloy process Bronze equipment requires far less mats then equivalent iron equipment. If they made the recipe 1:1 they would have to increase those recipes commensurately. The current setup actually makes bronze nominally easier because you can consolidate by smelting/forging on site. It's questionable whether that's worthwhile because at that point in the game you're outposts aren't that well-equipped so why not make the items there too... but it is useful if you're stuck transporting bronze by hand.

Bioshuffle posted:Which items should I prioritize with iron? Silver requires a iron pickaxe, iron helmet is the best first armor improvement since it has no movement penalty and the same armor rating as full body armor for some reason, banded shields are great, iron axe is a little speedier then the bronze one but it'll be outdated if you kill the next boss quickly, iron mace is a good weapon for bashing most enemies.

After beating Moder, I think she's the 2nd easiest boss after Eikthyr. Do you have a frost resistance potion? Do you have 2 stacks of good arrows? Great. Stay at range and run away from her very telegraphed attacks until she dies. I had a golem chasing me for half the fight, and wolf respawns when she got down to 1/4 HP, and it was still less of a hassle than Elder or Bonemass.

Scruffpuff posted:It's not just strict vertical progression though, there's some horizontal there based on crafting knowledge, and it's not just a sandbox survival game either, since "survival" itself is a non-issue. It's a hybrid approach that gives some survival sandbox elements, skips the hardcore survival stuff, and adds clear progression goals. It's done a good job of bridging the genres and attracting players who are fans of both. It has a bit of the world getting harder as you down bosses, but not nearly enough to make it feel like you keep needing to stay on your toes in earlier biomes, as people have pointed out. That said, if the world suddenly busted your rear end because you downed boss 5 or whatever, if you were playing on a shared server with friends who just like puttering around the meadows, that would be a great way to regularly hand them their asses for no reason. Part of the game's success is due to people of all levels being able to play together regardless of advancement, so I'd be hesitant to mess with the current layout. The only progression that really fucks new players over is precisely killing boss 5, because that makes goblins spawn in all biomes at night, and there isn't a single construction or armor that would make someone in a pre-iron stage safe from them. They will just obliterate wood construction and one shot anyone without at least wolf armor.

You don't even have to stay away with Moder, just stab her repeatedly with a spear when she lands and dodge out of the telegraphed attack with a 2 year windup time. Or don't, because you can tank it and just regenerate.

I highly recommend leaving a dedicated portal next to geysers in the swamp, especially if you have a few clustered together. Dig down the ground so surtlings spawn and die in the water instantly whenever you hop in the portal and you'll get free passive coal piles filling your chests or fueling your smelting in no time.

I sailed for the first time and discovered more of my starting continent because it's just THAT BIG. To confirm this I ran all the way home and decided it was time to start mapping the coast. So I ran and ran, there were 2 nights where I built camps in a meadows biomes. I ran a long way, found a merchant dude too. Then I went deep into a plains biome and now all my gear is unrecoverable because of deathsquitos. Death can be pretty unforgiving. Not only did I lose all my stuff, I was faced with starting from nothing because I was isolated so far from home. There were multiple swamp/black forest biomes between me and everything else I had. Running through the swamps meant 1-hit instadeath. I was going to give up entirely and start a new world if I couldn't make it in 3 tries. I was wondering what the "dark souls" part of this game was and naked man running and juking enemies or dying definitely feels like dark souls to me. Anyways I made it but gently caress I do not want to grind back to a level 3 bronze axe again.

If it's a server that you are ok with sharing, any number of well equipped players can help you recover your stuff from plains. There is a body recovery squad that does that online somewhere, but i am sure that a number of goons with padded armor could help out if it is something you care about.

If it's a local save I'd enable cheats and use godmode to get your stuff back after making a reasonable effort to do it the correct way. I appreciate a game being challenging but there's no rationale for being demoted back to day 1 just because you got too close to stuff three tiers above you.

Stuff like that is easily avoidable by planning ahead, instead of sleeping in some shack in the middle of nowhere make a portal back to base to drop off what you gather and resupply and get rested, if you are trying to get your body back in deathsquito territory all you need is a bow and wooden arrows and you can kill them before they touch you or just dodge when they get close, everything else can be ran away from while naked. When you go somewhere dangerous just consider what would be the worst case scenario if you died in that place and how long it would take you to get back and make sure it won't take very long by foot or boat and avoid setting your spawn location somewhere bad.

Khanstant posted:I wish a troll invasion was mandatory your first week in the Black Forest or something. By the time we got one, trolls were a joke. The one time they caused us any trouble was using a tree my buddy built his castle off of and a few parts of it collapsed I dunno, my friend quit nearly instantly after playing solo and getting a troll raid against him. He wasn't any good at combat and didn't understand how to kite them and they just trashed the entire wooden base and killed him, he was trying to sleep to make it go away. Stone would have lasted longer but not much longer I'm pretty happy with our giant bases not having huge moats - we get trolls, but since I killed bosses 3-5 in single player, nothing else notable. Means we don't have to go too crazy on defense, but standing around afk isn't a great idea in case of trolls wrecking poo poo

Bioshuffle posted:Which items should I prioritize with iron? Iron mace is a definite. Trivializes skeletons, and makes it possible to kill blobs before they can get their poison cloud off (especially if you get an arrow in them first). I made a fully upgraded ancient bark spear towards the end of my Swamps time (as if it ever ends) in prep for for the mountains and that thing owns bones and looks cool (though making the silver-tier equivalent is so cheap I question the actual advantage of not waiting to make that). The spear is loving awesome in the mountains; can hit up slopes better than anything, and can get hits on/stun wolves off a normal block if you miss the parry. With the way the drakes like to come straight in to attack I'm wondering while I'm writing this if I can't bullseye the bastards when they stop to "fire".

I skipped iron pick entirely until it turned out that I was forced to get it before starting in the mountains. Upgraded copper was totally fine through the crypts. I vote for iron mace, shield, bow first. I still never got iron axe but I'm a mace primary.

I ran wood shield until I could get banded shield (then again to black metal), jumped from antler pickaxe to iron pickaxe when I needed it for silver, jumped from troll armor to wolf (silver) armor, then again to padded, from bronze to black metal axe, and from club to iron mace to frostner (silver) with a bit of black metal dagger Oh and finewood bow to draugr fang bow You can skip a LOT of tiers in each area. Silver is a huge upgrade across the board for most things, and then black metal a bit of a bump up from there. mastershakeman fucked around with this message at 18:01 on Mar 20, 2021 |

This game is great at being different things for different people so I'm not trying to talk down on anyone's choices, but I'm really enjoying this game as the journey not the destination. I skipped bronze armor not because I was trying to min/max but because I thought the hooded style of the troll armor was cool looking for my (at the time) bow-heavy combat style (skipped the iron helm for a long time too so I could keep the cloak+hood combo). IMO after you hit the mandatory stuff (shield, mace, probably at least some armor, and pickaxe for Iron) just make what makes your Viking heart happy.
