I like it the way it is
-
me too but solo it’s so grindy that it’d make MMOs jealous
-
Didn’t like it. Mostly because of what said though. Grindy as all fuck and some of the hitboxes are unreasonable. Still really impressive for such a small studio though.
-
Tbh, the "grind" in this game is relaxing unlike in mmos
-
This.
I played solo and i collected a fucking shitton of all the ores in the game, enough for like 3 playthroughs with all items max upgraded. I love the gameplay loop in this game

Agree: I started playing this with some friends and I’m having a blast, but when I tried playing it by myself I got incredibly bored. I know that any game is more fun to play with friends, but I think that Valheim’s relatively on rail gear progression coupled with building autism is very conductive to fuck around doing stupid stuff while keeping everyone in the group interested

the only real grind is getting bronze

I would really like to get creative with building houses / base, but terraforming any larger area is just such a pain.
Are there any mods that make terraforming easier or gives you the ability to terraform a bigger area? -
I don’t mind the grind when playing solo. Then again I also just like living on the land and in prebuilt shacks and ruins I guess, there’s plenty of them around in every biome so the only building I do are bridges for carts.
-
No matter how humble your home is, the demands of tech tiers and better armors means your metal needs will probably still be high. The process of cutting down trees to build bigger houses is a lot more fun than mining.
-
-
It’s a very good game, especially for EA, but it also feels kinda shallow. At some point the only incentive to keep exploring the world is if you run out of ore, as biomes contain nothing unique otherwise.
-
Game needs a Terraria-like update that doubles the content.
Working together with friends is super satisfying in Valheim in a way that stuff like minecraft wasn’t. I have a sperglord friend who is impossible to build shit with though, his shit has no soul, basically just builds featureless warehouses.
-
-
not with that optimization
-
The H&H update heavily optimized the game. My 970 went from 7fps in a large town my group built to 60.
-
Guess I’ll try it again then. My problem wasn’t really consistently bad framerate thouhg but heavy stutters every few seconds.

why does a game so small in scope that is practically 90% finished need so much time to release out of early access?
Fill out the endgame quickly, wrap it up and move on to the next project. what gives?-
then theyre gonna have to give out refunds, as long as they call it a beta they can fuck it up anyway they want and be untouchable
-
>small in scope
That’s relative. With how small the team is, it’s pretty big in scope
>90% finished
Not even close. We have 5/9 bosses in the game, and the remaining 4 need their own biomes as well. The new biomes need materials, enemies, music etc. etc.
>Fill out the endgame quickly, wrap it up and move on to the next project
This is the exact thinking that lead to Early Access games extremely shitty reputation, shitty half finished messes. The devs have said they want to make the game as good as they can, and that takes time
-
-
Agreed. Had my fun with it, though that may be mainly because I played it with friends.
-
op wasn’t a faggot… nice
-
few such cases!

-
It’s just the copper grind that is a bit heavy. The triple bronze mod fixes this nicely though.
-
I didn’t mind the copper grind that much, but i will say that if it were up to me i would change it so that the copper veins were much smaller, but you were guaranteed to get 1-4 copper for each piece broken. It sucks to mine 5 pieces in a row and get nothing but stone.
The ore that really bothered me was the fucking iron. That felt like an absolute chore. Luckily that has changed in H&H because now you mine more than one piece at a time

Same shit, different name. How many ‘open world survival crafting’ games do you own? Do you buy every one that comes out? Just play minecraft and you’ve played them all.
-
You sound like an expert. How many open world survival games do you own?
-
You sound like a retard. Do you always answer a question with the exact same question?
This is the reason I hate this one open world survival crafting trash game more than any other and why I have this game title filtered here, because fucking shills like you go into a frenzy trying to defend it whenever anyone rightfully shits on it. If you don’t want anyone pooping on your garbage taste then include the title in your OP so the people filtering your trash don’t come in and ruin your safe space, you fucking retards. have a nice day.-
You sound like a intellectual. Do you always answer a question with another question?

This one’s the only one where a village of eight or ten people all with different things they like to do really works well due to the systems put in place. Especially when you hit milestones like finally building a large enough bridge for the Longboat you eventually get to go under, or just bosses.

It’s a great game in concept but it fizzles out after you do mostly everything. It’s one of those games were you don’t really "finish it" you just sort of stop playing it after a while.
If they keep making regular content updates and so on, it could be way better. It’s a great fun little game to play especially with a friend or two. And also great if you’re into the building aspect and want to create grand structures but once you get 3 or 4 bosses down, have built a couple homes, etc, there isn’t much more to do.
-
>you don’t really "finish it" you just sort of stop playing it after a while
The main objective in the game is to kill all the bosses, but not all of them are in the game yet. The devs have said that once you kill the final boss, whenever that comes out, that will be the end of the game.-
I honestly didn’t even know the final boss wasn’t in the game. But that’s what I mean. Once you kill the Dragon boss and maybe the one in the plains (if there even is one, that’s where I stopped playing), there isn’t much else to do. Grind for ores and upgrade all your shit? Grind material to build your house bigger? You could, but the grind takes forever for some items and objects and ultimately it just becomes un-fun. In my opinion at least. I’m not saying the game needs to hand you the materials, but it’s fucking annoying as hell grinding iron ore and having to possibly literally drag it across the entire game world just to build some iron banded wooden bars to hold your house up better.
If you want to do that you might as well just do it in the creative mode. Otherwise the real game part fizzles out like I said. In a year or two after many more content updates that flesh out the building more, combat more, enemies, more interesting skill leveling, etc, the game will be much better. I’m not trying to shit on the game, I have almost 100hr in it with my friends I think it’s great for what it is. I just wish it were better and it will be eventually.
-
Going through with different groups of friends who haven’t touched it yet is why I still play. It is fun to hear reactions and help them if they need it and it’s fun to see different building architecture.
-
There’s 4 more bosses to come, and biomes to go with them. Right now the final boss is the one in the Plains. Once you’ve killed them all then yeah there’s not much more to do unless you enjoy the grind, like i do.
The game isn’t for everyone. It’s early access, so much will change before the game is fully released. Maybe that will end up making it more enjoyable for you.
-
-
-
-
I like it, but don’t you dare convince the devs they don’t need to flesh out the end game some more. I’ll spend hundreds MORE hours if there’s more to do.
-
I can’t be the only one who wound up not really liking valheim at all, am I?
-
I wish the devs would add more to the game. it took months to get h&h and it felt like it barely added anything at all.
-
You should buy an early access game for what it is, not for what it will eventually become
-
and i had tons of fun playing it as it was, easily put in 120 hours before hearth and home. this update feels incredibly disappointing all the same. if it werent for the fact that friends have picked it back up to see how the game was changed, i would probably wait till the next big updated dropped.
-
-
they fixed a lot of shit and stuff in the backend to make it run better and make it easier to add things later, real content will come probably in a couple months, if that.
-
If they work even 75% as hard from now on as they did before early access I don’t think there is much to worry about. They probably spent a little too much time partying with their new millions which is somewhat understandable.
-
-
It was good in Meadows and Black Forest, kinda meh in Swamps, way too grindy afterwards.
-
The only thing it needs arem ore biomes and more incentive to explore known biomes or dungeons once you’ve gotten their resources. But it all seems like a result of early access, the groundwork is very good already.
-
did they expand the endgame yet or is it really just getting better ores and getting clapped by mosquitos and goblins
-
new food, a few new building blocks, a trash can item thats expensive to make and has no purpose when you can throw stuff into the ocean. oh, and redesigned food meta to make shit more builds between health and stamina. it was a pretty shit update.
-
>not getting the recycle mod and turn all your old shit into arrows.
-
im considering it. i tend to horde all my stuff and only ever throw away rocks, resin or dwarf eyes and even then i have piles of the stuff stored up.
-
-
the fuck were they doing all this time?
they were all hype with 5 million players and shit, was that it?-
dont forget the horse they bought thanks to said 5 million players.
-
That was an act of charity for their local riding school. Love how everyone glazes over that and pretends the horse is just standing in their game dev office.
-
>piss customers money away instead of using it to develop the game
is that supposed to make me feel better?
gonna review bomb their shit with a bot-
You aren’t naive enough to think the profits of 5 million sales are all going back into the game, are you? Even AAA studios don’t function like that. They’re overnight millionaires, a single act of charity is not preventing the game from reaching you sooner. How much do you think a single horse even costs? That said, the wait for H&H was unjustifiable.

>flavour of the month game is actually just a cashgrab
whoda thunkeded it!-
Don’t you have some other games you don’t play to complain about?
-
-
They are a very small studio with a game in early access. They never expected the game to become so popular on initial EA release
>Hurr durr just hire more people with all the money you got!
You know how many studios collapse after the initial success because of rapid expansion?
-
-
>and has no purpose when you can throw stuff into the ocean
Someone didn’t try using it. It pays you back in coal, which you can never have enough of. The the exchange rate isn’t amazing.-
>It pays you back in coal
you mean the thing that stupidly easy to get by any other means? thanks a lot, so useful. -
Items are weighted differently. Trophies pay 1:1 in coal.
-
I’ve heard that, but I don’t think that’s what I witnessed. Anon’s not wrong, the trash thing is pretty shit for the effort in getting it. 10:1 of basic items is just like… why bother when you can burn logs way faster? Even if you have a big warehouse of shit you can’t use, the effort getting it all lightning struck and made into coal is just plain not worth it.
-
Depends on whether you have an abundance of surtling cores or not. With the save me and my friends are on, we only had enough for two smelters and a kiln, so the obliterator was a means of saving an insane amount of time.
-
You found the merchant prior to finding 15 surtling cores? That’s some strange luck. I find those burial grounds fucking everywhere, and it took me ages to find that dwarf guy.
-
We found the merchant right along the path to the Elder, sometimes it works out like that.
-
Man, i’d fucking kill for that luck on my first playthrough. It took me like 20 hours+ of non-stop sailing and running around to find him, and all in headwind ofc.
-
Sailing with the best ship you can build is the way to go, since he can appear from quite a distance. Still that is some rotten luck.

any must have mods for this game? have gotten seed totem, veinmine, quickstack, lots QoL mods and looking for anything more substantial. are the magic mods any good?
-
If nothing else, I’m thankful the best chest in the game doesn’t take iron to make anymore. Blackmetal chests are game changers.
-
they sold 5 mio units for I don’t know 15 bucks each? I don’t know how much steam takes but since the whole team is like 10 people max it’s gonna be a nice payday for everyone, I would never even come back to the office afterwards
-
>I don’t know how much steam takes
30%

did the Ganker server die?
-
I thought they didn’t host since the way early days. It was just too easy to grief. Totems don’t prevent smashing your shit.
-
they hosted a server a couple of weeks ago aswell which was pretty active. people built a pretty nice & huge village aswell
but tried logging in yesterday and couldn’t login anymore, and there’s no general on Ganker anymore either

I highly recommend playing it with mods. Modders are doing a better game developing the game right now than Iron Gate is.
Valheim+ let’s you customize pretty much anything in the game. How much wood you get for chopping down trees, how much coal you can fit in a kiln, crafting at a workbench without the materials in your inventory. All big time savers/QoL mods.
I also recommend Skyheim if you wanna get basic magic spells like a fireball, heal spell, etc.
-
Oh and the creature control mod, that’s maybe the biggest game changer. You can make it so enemies have a chance to spawn (customizable too) with elemental-infused damage, higher chance for more starred enemies, and unique qualities like do they split in two on death, are they more aggressive, aggro from farther away, etc. Those three mods together really make the game waaaaaay better.

>release an update that requires me to revamp my whole base and farm
>for… no reason because theres nothing NEW to use those new bases and items against
Why add non-content for your first major content update? Am I really going to load up a year old game just to do housecleaning? -
Another Valheim cuck thread, incredible

I will never EVER understand fags like you, why waste your time entering a thread for a game you don’t like, just to complain about the fact that a game you don’t like has a thread
