You can noclip into it and, at least currently, it seems to be like a big icy tundra viking zone. And perhaps obviously the data is there for a 4th tier of gear including some unique equipment.

There's also the big inaccessible area in the Farmlands that's implied to be the remains of Dracula's Castle.

I ain't heard nobody talking about finding and securing water sources, or how to raise food properly (whether it's plant, animal, or human), or how to manage environmental effects (beyond stand under a roof you fool), it's not a real survival game. :colbert:

To be fair, this is a surprisingly effective survival gameplay mechanic and meaningfully effects the gameplay loop. Floor is lava mechanic belongs to survival.

I don't think that anyone is trying to slap your hands over this, the game just seems popular enough that a dedicated thread would be good

I don't own V Rising yet and I'm not saying it's not popular but this thread is very low traffic and most of the recent posts are not even about V Rising. I don't get people always trying to expulse others out of a relevant thread.

these are both very good points, also my problem outside being lazy and unsure about making a good or bad op is that time spent making a thread is time not spent playing v rising

The main thing that interests me about it is that it was made by the bloodline champion guys and I haven't touched their games since then, but it was a pretty good game if a bit underappreciated in it's time, it was a decent alternative moba-style teamfighting for a time.

I just wanna say that V Rising is so goddamn good. I seriously love most everything about it.

I wish the blood type vision was a passive with no filter but eh, no biggie.

I'm playing solo with 5X resources and 5X stacks. No way do I have time to do it solo at 1X.

Even so, I've got 30ish hours in and the way systems are integrated pleases me greatly.

Also, you can teleport while on a horse. What a time saver!

Heh, my flesh is dead. No more risk of fusion than teleporting while wearing leather.

Has anyone moved their castle late in game?
I'm almost post-iron and I'd like to move somewhere more central.

Stunlock has a partnership with G Portal for server hosting but any normal hosting option should be fine I think. And yes you can change settings, there's a lot of them and if you want to see all the options you can make a private game and check the advanced settings.

my crew has one castle for each region. seems like there is little reason to keep your castle in a different region than your current needs in terms of materials? i haven't played much since we moved into the second region, but i can't recall a need to ever go to the first region to get anything

Makes sense. Made a new castle from scratch north of the iron mine and already like the layout much more.

You can also teleport between your castles. I intend to build outposts that exist solely to hold prisoners.

I played through most of the content there is, Silverlight's big city drops stuff like iron and copper ingots so I've never had to go back and farm them. Even silver doesn't really need to be farmed once you have servants that are strong enough to do it for you. I put 50 hours into V Rising and I had a great time, excited to pick it up again when there's more to play. Went through most of it on a 3x PVE server and the combat is lots of fun.

That's a Simpsons 'Treehouse of Horror' ep, right? I think I've seen it, yeah :v:

Thanks to all the talk about V Rising though, I'm keeping an eye on it - I have a lot of games to get through at the moment, but I'll have to give it a shot at some point.
