I'd fully recommend going into this game blind. Having to work out what things mean (HUNT HIS KIN, BURN THEIR CHILDREN, etc) and finding new things is all part of the fun. This is probably the best £15 i've ever spent on a game and it took no time at all for me and my usual group to set up a 10 man server where we're making ridiculously cool looking viking villages. Suggestions for OP by the way: Stress the importance of actually cooking food and getting the rested buff. I've seen tons of people about to bounce off this game before I go "hey, cook some meat, idiot" and then they marvel as their stamina triples.

I am not that great at building so even when I build a fire pit indoors and build a way to ventilate the smoke, it goes out the second it rains. It just needs a roof over it. This is one I made in the mountains as a tiny outpost. The outside bit just has a 26 degree thatch roof above it, nothing else. That stays on https://imgur.com/a/MiBQwNF

NuckmasterJ posted:Have any of you goons made highways for carts yet? I've been trying to progress into Bronze but its such a slog as a solo player, trying to move copper and tin, then finding Pine trees and going a bit ham on them too. I was trying to build a mini highway into the Dark Forest with the Hoe's pathing tool but its pretty rough. I just dragged it across, but I had scouted out some copper first while I was looking for dungeons. Meant I had a fairly well mapped path of where I wanted to go. Think I got all the copper I wanted in two/three trips.

Got me and a friend some ocean stuff tonight. Spent a couple hours just sailing around, exploring, killing "the things" and now we have extra good meat and shields. Turns out he actually knows a couple of sea shanties too, so our discord server listened for a couple of songs before telling us to knock it off because we can't sing. Understandable, tbh. I definitely can't.

Just as they're about to hit you, it'll make a stagger happen. Granted i'm using a form of tower shield, so you literally can't parry with it. Make your your actual shield has parry on its stats.

thark posted:So uh If you have friends and you want to build the cool weapons, its definitely not, the iron grind is real but at least its kinda fun? I like the swamps as an area now. You need 80 for armour and a weapon Another 20 for tools 35/30 for the greataxe/sledge 35 or so to upgrade your forge However many chests you want (reinforced chests have bigger space and kinda own, tbh). Then you have upgrades on top of that. Iron is a hell of a thing.

Bardeh posted:This seems nuts to me. We had to travel a long way to find a decent sized swamp that actually had crypts in it. The first one we found nearest the elder was a tiny patch without even a single one. We'd be talking a half hour journey each way just to smelt some metal. I don't think the game would suffer if you smoothed out that process a little and made it easier to get your new forward bases up to scratch with your old ones. The first time you do it, you'll probably get 120 ore plus whatever you can carry. The second time you do it, if you take a boat, you can get around 500 plus whatever you can carry. There's probably more iron closer to you, but i guess it depends on the seed.

Fart Car '97 posted:Yeah generally you should be pulling 40-60 silver out of every vein you find. The way to really mine silver is to just excavate the entire vein first, that way you 100% know you're getting it all. Granted i've got a portal nearby where I can pop back to repair my pick when it gets low. Mined two full veins and had enough to fully upgrade my silver armour and hammer. The bigger issue is all the loving drakes.

Throw a harpoon at them as they go to run away, eventually they "forget" they they should be running and start attacking the boat again. I don't bother dragging them to shore. I just get them down to 1 arrow shot away from death, harpoon them as they start running, then jump in the water as they come back at the boat, firing an arrow as i land on it. I usually get most of the scales and I don't have to bother dragging it for 5 minutes.

Saxophone posted:I also think inventory is wonky. Either give us weight limit or give us spaces, but not both. And maybe give us a way to increase weight. Even something silly like just traveling with over 2/3s capacity slowly ticks it up in levels, or tie running and jumping into a general athletics skill and have that boost your carry limit. There is a way to do this.

The game shows you an alert and marks him on the map, right? He's always in black forests. That being said, on our world we haven't spotted him and we've been playing for a week, 10 of us, all spread out in different directions. We ended up just using the seed "42060lolxd" and he's really close to spawn on that one.

You can upgrade your bronze, if they're hurting too much. But I found that just grabbing level 1 Iron stuff after a couple of painful attempts was enough to make the swamps a non issue

Starks posted:I killed the second boss. What now? I found a swamp but it's very far away. Should I try to build a forward base there, or will it be too hostile? How do I keep it from getting destroyed basically. You can build on the big trees in the swamp (that are immune to being chopped down) and you'll be safe. My forward base near the swamp is actually on the edge though. No sense actually living in that miserable place.

Until Viking HOAs are enforceable on a server level I'm building a secret base far away from my fellow players' reenactment of the Destruction of Isengard. I ended up doing this because my friends are in a constant state of building teardown and rebuild to one up eachother and each eyesore is worse than the last. Also its real laggy having multiple few hundred piece structures next to eachother.

There's one dude with really lovely internet who insists on playing with us and every time he wants to do a boss it makes the boss teleport around/hit people when we can't see animations. The whole netcode being reliant on the worst player there is kinda hilarious. Haven't seen anything like it in years.

As soon as he leaves the area everything works fine.

I built three bases, in the end. One in the meadows with the community. We had plans to do community things but what that actually meant was "we'll just keep moving our stuff away and not tell anyone" so gently caress em I guess. One by the swamp/black forest/mountain/plains (i found a tiny, tiny meadow in between all five) and its a loving warzone. This is where I actually live. One plains base, but that's a goblin tower that i've cleared out, put a moat around, walled off and use it to just farm flax and barley with impunity. I have tons of little outposts everywhere. I don't think you should be too attached to any one place until you get a bunch of smelters and farmland down.

Yeah two star fulings are no joke. One of those sneaks up on you and you go from "yeah i've got this" to "what the gently caress i'm dead" real quick. One of the 2 star spear throwers took out a dude in fully upgraded iron when he went out to the plains with me to "see what it was like". One minute he's like "oh this is nice" and the next minute he's mist. Haven't laughed that hard at a game in a while.

Telling people that troll leather armour is completely ok for the whole game is a bit if a dick move, imo. I mean sure if they never stop paying attention and block the harder enemies every time, then sure. But the better armour means you can play a little lazier (and won't get one shot by an enemy you've not seen before/that's snuck up on you)
