I asked. The Ocean will be updated along with the Deep North

@@mr.exceptional wow, that's going to be a long wait then since it takes devs a year and probably a few months more to finish ashland.

@@TunafishN7 that's sad

Do remember how small the team is, but yes the updates have been stale and long pauses in-between. Has been more "talk about this" update than anything. I would like some QOL in early game stuff. The Mage question did worry me. It almost feels like there isn't going to be much. To be fair, Mage is too late in the game but I wouldn't know where else it could fit.@@cloke3076

@@TunafishN7 If im remembering right the devs confirmed ashlands is coming this half of the year already, so the wait is finally coming to an end. Im not sure if this info is easy to find anymore following the discord server wipe that happened when it was hacked

Hopefully at full release they will add it to earlier parts of the game as well.

@@SekiberiusWelkesh I hope they wont. Magic is pretty broken. Early, you are kinda down to earth, and it makes sense to use tools to fight, instead of your mind. Also you need all mistalnds stuff to make magic stuff anyways, so i think its at a nice place of the game. Enshrouded was kinda dumb in this regard, that you could just make a wand out of a branch, and boom you are a """mage""".

@@shoc2177 Not really, by the time you do get it you've already spent probably 100 hours in the game and it isn't really any more powerful than anything else, it just gives you options for new ways to approach combat. I don't see any problem with adding early game magic, it'd be pretty easy to balance it.

@@SekiberiusWelkesh Sorry, but the staffs are just too powerful to be introduced earlier

@@The_Haxe They're really not though... There's no rule stating they have to be the exact same as the ones you get in the mistlands.

Its incredible how the music hasnt gotten old after 700 hours. Timeless

me too! hope my grandkids will love it!

​@@ItsYaBoySkinnyPenis69420It will come out this year

Do you start from scratch with a new seed or do you play on the existing seed?

@@salmonsnake44 We start from scratch!

I kinda want to be a part of this

so you start a new playthrough every 5 years? cool

​@@zuuj4403lmao, tho I think Valheim just hit 3 years old

considering modders figured out so many QoL improvements to farming, base building, resource gathering, transportation, etc it's crazy to think the devs won't even attempt to address those

@@utmastuh They learned from Blizzard, do absolutely nothing, take to long to do it, the community will fix their UI/QoL issues for them.

Not to mention the hot fire demon. Swiping right on that. Did not learn my lesson in Morrowind.

lmfaooooo this has to be a troll comment.

@@NZMPlays No, it's not. Why would it be? It feels like people just complain about everything without even putting any effort at all, at anything! Well, I see how hard it can be and feel like giving credit when it's due.

@@ivan5fdp that’s sad then. This game is fine, it’s in no way an impressive game at this point. And if you have any defense for the dev speed, you are blind to even your own fanaticism.

@@NZMPlays Nah, I'm no blind mate. I just considered the big picture and even addressed there are mistakes. I've considered the market itself, the public as a whole, the amount of "content creators" that don't create s#, the minecraft and battle royal only players eager to criticise without even achieving anything in their lives, people that promise and don't deliver the very bare basics, the amount of abandoned games, rip-off studios, never released beta stage projects and the fact they're a small studio that grew beyond their own expectations. I don't mean to insult you in any way brother, but I just feel that you don't appreciate the simple and good things Valheim has. The essence of the game, the good vibes and the simplicity of it. It could've gone really wrong, another sucking game added to the pile, but it ain't! That's all. Peace brow! ✌🏻

​​@@NZMPlaysI feel like the game seems to be coming along at a smooth pace. I didn't learn about this game until late 2022, but semi-annual major updates for an open-world game seems really good. Especially for a game with such innovative networking and multiplayer mechanics that I have never before seen in a game. I know about the promises made over the first year of and how they weren't fulfilled because they were too ambitious for the team, so I understand where the frustration comes from in older players. However, to me, the game already felt complete, and every new update feels like a free expansion to an already worthwhile game. If not for the yet-to-be-fulfilled, promised updates, I wonder if the playerbase would be as riled as it is today. Speaking of, I actually don't think the heavy criticism of the developers beyond the overambitious promises is fair at all. They more than doubled the number of people working on the project and added in cross-compatibility to the game. So many people complained that they weren't hiring new staff after 'pulling a shameless cash grab'... and yet they actually did hire new people. As it turns out, contracting a dozen independent programmers to work at your indie studio out of the blue isn't sustainable or practical, so with the months it takes to train new people and the loss of labor from an already small game, this is the result. They tried something and it set them back, but they're still going. Just practice some patience, because never once did the developers give up on the game, and I'm sure they're trying really hard to get 1.0 out by the end of the year.

That is an excellent idea and something I too have missed.

noooo

Very polite to each other, but also a bit of "no you answer, because i have no idea how to avoid spoiling everything."

Thats what you get from these? Its more like three people stumbling through topics they barely have nailed down, its clear half this biome hasnt even been finished yet, and we are nearly at the half way point in 2024, They have shown literally nothing in game yet, why get excited.@@adventuresincascadia7985

I would love this too. It could be a smaller rare biome, only appearing farther from center. Maybe like an enchanted forest or something, hard to find, but relatively safe with some rare foods or materials.

@@KaboukiJoe so glad you know what I mean. Maybe tiny boreal islands beset by drowned draught by night. The trees are hard and scarce to really put your high level tools to good use

Maybe in 2 years it will be done.

I'm sure it's not easy to go back to rework previous updates, but perhaps there will be some time to work out some QoL changes after Ashlands.

I absolutely agree! Keep the mist! Maybe a Wisplight upgraded with refined eitr could be a possibility? Or wisplights that don't get immediately destroyed by seekers and gjall.

boy it goes fast before you get going in that biome lol

god damn

@@MulroePhoto I think a black metal chest or two full of cooked food will give us a decent chance to get going

one line of code each week. The developement is running in full speed

comming out 2046 , after they implement all their 2022 roadmap content in 2042

too bad it's Jack not John

Giants belong in Jotunheim in Norse myth, however I wouldn't mind if some 'fallen giants' ended up in Valheim, as Valheim acts as a purgatory for anyone to have made an enemy of Odin. The main issue would be their size as an enemy, however if they'd be placed in the Frozen North they would probably be well placed on the flat snowy plains.

​@@CoryG1981 well, im not english so the name is completly different in my language. Does it really make a difference? You got the reference, right?

Its becoming pathetic really? First I was mad about how slow it is, now I just find it sad like maybe the devs are just not experienced at all and are just winging shit as they go. Which would be OKAY, if every update so far wasnt just a reskin of previous biome rinse and repeat. Its embarrassing at this point. Maybe the lava, siege stuff and enchanted weapons wont feel completely out of place and unbalanced. Heres to hope

If you're playing on pc, try the magicplugin mod, it's not perfectly balanced, but it does create magical progression.

yes, that would be so great, having some magic based progression route from the start with very weak magic tools/foods which you would evolve over time... feels bad to play 80% of the game with standard weapons and just then switching to magic Speaking of mods: Therzie has a Wizardry addon, currently in beta phase but will be probably out soon which adds Magic progression and foods to the early game.

Yeah, I hope they add something like that in the future, even in the Bronze era would be nice.

@@mrnonapplicable this! You can see why magic is limited until mistlands using it- luckily you can tweak the settings to make it fit easier into the base games design/challenge sensibilities

@@Amatsuichi Same as with the crossbow that suddenly appears and needs a brand new skill to level. :/

YESSS this would be so cool! An idea I had for example is like, if an enemy falls into water or if it’s raining they get granted a Wet status effect and are vulnerable to becoming frozen. So basically elemental interactions and not just burn/tick damage and slows!

yeah maybe in the next decade
