thanks for the tips! i've heard iron armor isnt necessary to beat bonedaddy, is it still recommended? any thoughts on the serpent scale shield?

with reinforced iron beams you can make pretty much anything you can dream. Definitely going to build a large stone tower with other towers hanging off of it. so cool.

i think you're bypassing a pretty enjoyable gameplay loop but you play how you want to play

how does Odin feel about us focusing on architecture instead of glorious battle?

i do wish there were ways to get stone easier as you get towards the end game. mining stone is a huge chore right now for anything substantial.

Woden posted:Someone earlier in the thread said mobs don't swim that far, and therefore you can stop them from getting to your boats by building far enough into the water. but then they get eaten by the kraken my strategy is to make a jetty over shallow water so i can unload and when they break i can just grab the mats back out of the water. it's the best we can do with what is a somewhat broken system at the moment.

yeah it does look like a construction piece. i super want a few more adornments and angled pieces added so that would be dope.

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.

A "sort" button would be really nice to have for inventory as well.

i hope we eventually can build like, robot arms that fill the smelter. or hoppers of some kind.

personally, i think these changes are completely reasonable and if your enjoyment hinged on creating an infinitely respawning monster trap exploit im sure someone will mod it back it. stop fighting though. vikings dont fight with each other. they are bros who process ore for each other and poo poo.

i think the game would be worse if there were no consequences for death. if you want a creative mode that's fine, but complaining about being mildly punished for dying in this game seems kinda lame and not very vikinglike.

if there were no penalties for death it would make exploration completely boring in this game. the most exciting moments are landing on a far-off biome and getting a portal/beachhead established again, it's fine if you personally don't want to deal with it, but it completely makes sense for this game to penalize dying the way it does

OwlFancier posted:There is already an exploration focused game that handles dying in a better way and it is called subnautica. You lose whatever you gathered between your last foray from base, but not any of the equipment progress you made or anything you had already successfully returned to the base beforehand. The penalty for dying is that you do not achieve the objective you set out to do when you left the base and you must reattempt it. This, conceptually, is how the overwhelming majority of video games have worked since they stopped being designed to drain your money at an arcade and the reason for that is because I think it keeps the focus of the game on the area you are at within the larger progression of the game, and eliminates the need to redo things you have already done. i think you make a good argument here but i also think the gameplay loop of Valheim is different from Subnautica. Like, you should be building little huts with beds when you are exploring a new biome, that's a huge part of the process. Subnautica doesn't really require or reward that kind of construction. I didn't find it necessary to build more than one base in my run at least.

litany of gulps posted:Am I crazy or is the Eikthyr power clearly the best of them by far? Bonemass on paper seems great, but combat death comes so quickly that it usually isn't relevant. Its a mosquito catching you with low food or a random fuling swing on your back by surprise. Maybe for a boss fight I'd prime that, but it isn't practical for regular adventuring. The Elder power is idiotic and pointless. Eikthyr power is always relevant and always useful. the elder power is actually good though? you should have a portal in your hub going back to the standing stones so you can swap it on whenever you are cutting down a bunch of trees, especially if you have a buddy with you who can benefit or you can chain them together. edit: but yeah it is eikthyr 90% of the time

GlyphGryph posted:I will (I know I'm basically a broken record at this point, but eh) suggest that if people want to engage in complex elevated builds (or underwater builds) - get the mod that lets you manually cycle through snap points using the ctrl and alt keys. It makes things SO much more pleasant. https://www.nexusmods.com/valheim/mods/299 Definitely checking this out! Thanks!

wilderthanmild posted:So I just killed the Elk boss and started delving into the Black Forest. I'm getting my rear end kicked by everything I meet in there. Is there usually a pretty large spike in difficulty here? compared to the meadows there is real danger until you have at least troll leather armor. i'd get that going along with a decent bow

wilderthanmild posted:I'll go work on that nicer bow. I'm not even sure how I'll get troll leather armor, considering that my first attempt at fighting a troll was extremely poor. It almost feels more realistic to skip the troll and try to mine enough ore that I can make metal armor, but maybe that will change with other gear upgrades. first you get the bow then you get the troll leather then you get the women

they should tone down the fall damage a little bit tbh, and probably the skills loss on death as well.

Untrustable posted:I got annoyed bringing silver down a mountain in a cart to a waiting boat, so I took many hours and built a raised, wooden road that winds through the mountains and directly to a loading dock where it goes on the boat. me and my friends did this but then i dropped the cart by accident and it rolled to the bottom and that was way faster lol

Bioshuffle posted:Does the hearth need a blue colored block to place? I am trying to place a hearth upstairs, but in the spot I'm trying to place it in, it crumbles immediately after. When I place it in another location upstairs, there's no issue at all. What gives? needs stone support or ground. im not sure if it can be placed directly on iron beams.

Laterite posted:i beat bonemass in part by kiting him out to an adjacent plains area and drawing fulings in to take care of the blobs and skeletons, then have them get dissolved in his poison puke. then I rush in and smack him around with frostner. and then winter comes and the apes freeze to death!

New update seems to fix terrain killing framerate!Irongate posted:This was a long one! This patch has been taking extra long time to develop due to the new terrain-modification system. The new terrain modification system is made to reduce the number of network instances and make loading faster and smoother. Technically it’s a pretty big change but hopefully you should not notice that much of a difference except some minor behaviour changes to the hoe and pickaxe and of course much smoother loading of areas with a lot of terrain modifications. All terrain modifications after this patch (using the hoe, pickaxe or cultivator) will automatically use the new modification system. For existing areas where heavy terrain modifications have been made before this patch we have added a special console command “optterrain” that basically converts all the old terrain modifications in the nearby area to the new system. To use the “optterrain” console command, you first need to enable the ingame console by adding “-console” as a launch argument for the game.

Ornery and Hornery posted:1. How does parrying work? I can’t seem to do it although I’ve only ever had the tower shield. You can't parry with the tower shield so that's your issue there. You can use the hoe. with it equipped you want to right click and select the "level" option. This will bring terrain to the same level as your feet when you click. Note that there are limits to this and you may need to use the pick to cut down particularly large bumps.
