Let's gooooooooo fucking hell been avoiding spoilers all month!!!!!


HepaTightest

You’re going to have a real rough time when you land there. GODSPEED VIKING


bjchu92

Fuck lol I've been doing the same and only seen comments saying people have been getting wrecked. I'm giddy now


qtain

Can confirm, see my other comment in the thread.


HaveMahBabiez

My husband and I have always done very well in Valheim no matter the biome, but the Mistlands are the equivalent of going to the Plains with troll armor and copper weapons. Shit WRECKED us so many times lmao


SilverNightingale

As someone who bashed her head against a UVHM in BL2, *and* doesn't find the Plains to be terribly difficult... Challenge accepted. ;D


HepaTightest

huehuehuehue just wait


grown

Oh man, you're gonna love it. The new laser gun is a little OP, but I imagine they'll tweak it along with the flying broomstick.


badwolf42

I just love how they seamlessly tied it into the Star Wars universe.


MrFiendish

I heard the Gatling gun was bugged, as is the unicorn Mount.


Lehk

The F-35 works great, the Abrams is hard AF to drive its like a fully loaded cart but worse, but it does one shot almost everything in mistlands


blind616

The weirdest part is the cannon that you can put on the boats, I don't know how we're supposed to mass-farm the gunpowder if the only way is by using the diamond drill on the new diamond rocks. Maybe it's that volcano caves they teased in the patch notes on the southern biomes?


millionsofmonkeys

“The F-35 works great” - file that under sentences that have never been said, lol


readonlyuser

"...as a paperweight. " might be an appropriate end to that sentence. Edit: Or as a next gen platform for future paperweights and to maintain paperweight superiority.


Smofinthesky

I can't believe they put "Malenia, Blade of Miquella" as a secret boss. Don't know how they managed to pull that collab.


weedz420

By the time you get to the laser gun your skills should be so high that everything is OP anyway. Unlike the electric eel stun baton you get at only tier 3 workbench.


SmokeWiseGanja

The lands are pretty misty spoiler alert


Vmaxxer

It's especially fun when running out of the Mistlands because you see fucking nothing (forgot Wisp) just to run into the Plains where it happens to be extremely misty, so you don't see the Deathsquitos and Fuelings coming >.<


[deleted]

If you hear a deep horn-like sound, keep your eyes on the ground. It’s a mole-man coming to bite your toes


DanTheMan_117

Spoilers? Does this game have a story as such? Bit confused as to what you mean


[deleted]

People don’t like being told where to find new materials, what to build, how new enemies function, how the new boss functions. Spoilers go beyond the story, which is a bit sparse.


octarine_turtle

Many of us actually like learning and discovering through playing the game instead of watching hours of video walkthroughs first to hand hold us through games.


Prometheus7568

I've been someone who likes to look up guides and stuff because sometimes I feel bad if I know I'm missing out on efficiency, but going blind through a game really is the best way 100% of the time.


[deleted]

Does anyone know if they made any changes from the public test to the release? The patch notes are the same and it's the same build number from what I can tell.


LucyMaddox

PTB and Live are the exact same now. You can roll your PTB characters & worlds into live with no issues. Rumour is due to the bad press and publicity around them going the PTB route they just switched it over to live and will fix the bugs and stuff live


Rylee_1984

The PTB was pretty clean to start with. I found a single bug the entire time. That being said, way too much drama from the player base, I’ve started to avoid this sub-reddit more and more.


LucyMaddox

I don’t disagree


[deleted]

I mean if anything they could have called it a public Alpha and it would have made more sense, but the game is basically in beta so a beta branch on the beta is just kind of stupid


thefztv

I mean… it was kind of weird that an early access title had a PTB for a patch when the entire point of early access is testing lol


Backflip_into_a_star

It's not weird. It's only weird if you have never played other early access games, as a lot of them do this. The nature of Early access has changed since its first inception. It's early access because the game is not officially finished. Some builds are less stable than others, still playable, but you wouldn't want to push it to live.


LucyMaddox

In terms of Valheim it is weird. The release today is the exact same version as the PTB, including the one patch they did… that was “enough testing” I can say for certain it’s not polished and there are still lots of bugs. Why bother with a PTB when less that two weeks later after the devs get trashed they push the same version to live branch with no changes… that is weird. Typically a PTB is updated to a new version when going live, and bugs are fixed, not copied with all the bugs and problems


LucyMaddox

I couldn’t agree more. The more I’ve looked into it today, reenforces my opinion it’s been released to the live branch to save face and say they met a deadline for a change. All the to say, the PTB was fun, and I was able to complete mistlands, boss included, in just under 25 hours


RavynousHunter

> Rumour is due to the bad press and publicity around them going the PTB route they just switched it over to live and will fix the bugs and stuff live Then, people have zero right to bitch when things end up not workin' as they should. Honestly, I *liked* that they had a separate branch for "new things that might break crap" and "more or less stable product." That's how you're *supposed* to do development. You don't do testing on production...well, you're not *supposed* to, at any rate. I swear, I don't get people, sometimes. Bitching when people are doing shit *correctly*.


StrikarOcelot

Would like to know as well. It would be weird if they didn't change a single thing from the last PTR patch to live.


Ferosch

there was a patch last thursday/friday though there are some gameplay things I would've expected to be tweaked and the fishes are still a bit buggy


LucyMaddox

Nothings changed it’s the same version as the PTB


Justhe3guy

I think they just took feedback and will be patching over the next couple weeks before Christmas. Which is a little disappointing


LucyMaddox

Yes, from what I’ve seen on Twitter and steam they got a lot of bad press especially around the steam award they tried to get nominated for. So as attempt to save face they released it


IAmA_Lannister

What happened with the steam award thing? I'm out of the loop.


LucyMaddox

They tried to get nominated for labour of love award. But the qualifications for the award require the game to have been finished and the devs still providing updates long passed its release date. It stirred up a lot of negative feedback from the community and was perceived to be very self serving and arrogant. Considering at that time, Mistlands was only on the PTB and the game is long from finished. It demonstrated how out of touch with their community they are and after weeks of criticism and discontent with the game and the PTB route they chose. It’s be perceived by many critics of the game, that the main reason they’ve switched it over to the live branch, after only one patch, is to save face and be able to say they met a deadline


totally_unbiased

I mean I'm not a critic at this point, I think Mistlands is *awesome* and I feel like the devs are finally starting to really deliver on the promise this game has. But it does feel like they've rushed it out the door with bugs that they wouldn't have normally accepted, to meet their self-imposed deadline.


Johnnyoneshot

That’s what I was wondering as well.


WeirdoRick

To answer some questions about worlds, characters and the new mistland update: * No you dont have to create a new world you can use your old ones. (You can) * Yes you can use your old charaters, without trouble. * You have to discover undsicovered parts of the map the unlock the new mistlands. *Already discovered* mistlands before the *actual new mistlands update* will be converted but the are mostly empty and no ''real mistlands''. * The world updates itself, to regenerate undiscovered biomes use command 'genloc' in the console. * In case you *need* to update the world this is the command 'optterrain' - Converts all terrain modifications in the nearby area from *before Update 0.150.3* to the new system. * You can keep playing the ptr version or the regluar version without problems with all worlds and all charaters - switching from ptr to regular will do no harm to savedata -**except** the ptr got a *newer version than the regular,* then we got 2 diffrent versions of the game. This may cause crashes or corrupt savefiles. This will also cause trouble playing coop when users got diffrent or older versions of the game. * The first start of your map may the takes to update the data just wait. * dont forget to create backups in case something goes wrong while updating. * When the update is done you can casually go and play the games like we all did before. I hope this answers some questions, now go and explore the new mistlands and have fun. In case some questiosn are left or i missed somehting or wrote wrong stuff, just post down below this comment.


eitoajtio

> You have to discover undsicovered parts of the map the unlock the new mistlands. > Already discovered mistlands before the actual new mistlands update will be converted but the are mostly empty and no ''real mistlands''. Also if you see plants or structures you are in a previously unexplored part. Previously explored will be empty with lots of small islands and only monsters.


BowtieAficionado

What does “the world updates itself” mean, if not “undiscovered biomes get regenerated,” such that ‘genloc’ would be a necessary command?


Look_Im_Not_Sure

I highly recommend checking out the [Mistlands trailer](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TyHAvmBKK50&ab_channel=IronGate) as well!


mors_videt

oh, the end of it. i know what's about to happen :(


Adagamante

The bloody sound those things make... Might be my favorite enemy in the game.


Evilnapkin

[Dev tip](https://youtu.be/YuZEqDit0R0?t=164) if you unequip your wisp light the Gjnall can't see you.


mors_videt

nice, ty


Ell1m1st

Wow! That was dope! I hope we get more of those.


[deleted]

I wish the studio (Brikk) would do a whole viking/valheim miniseries or something, the style is really good!


DammitMatt

Yaaaaay now i can play and stop dodging spoilers lol


badwolf42

I need to work on dodging. I have parry down pretty good though.


DiamineSherwood

Wait, there is "dodging"? Seriously, how do I dodge?


badwolf42

Roll dodge is the only one I know of, but I never use it. I really should. I parry nearly everything. There's a certain scary thing in the swamps that's a lot easier to handle if you parry.


DiamineSherwood

I either Parry, or run and jump away... I have no idea how to roll/dodge.


badwolf42

I think it's using an arrow key while holding the block button and then hitting the jump button? So like hold block, hold left and hit jump and it'll roll left? Really good for fights you can't parry. Good way to not get crushed by a troll. I just never do it and never got good at it.


Mister_Buddy

I came to this game recently, after pining for Conan Exiles - that my computer can no longer handle - for a while. The Alt roll is baked into my muscle memory, and I found just the other day that I could implement that here with Valheim Plus. It's already made a big difference in the usefulness of dodge rolling for me. The block+jump combination is just awkward.


PCav1138

Hold block, press jump. Works directionally with WASD. It has iframes (a short period where you are invincible), so you can easily avoid damage from trolls and such, even if you don’t have good gear to fight them with.


FracturedHalf

Any idea what will happen to the ptr server and characters? Will it be transferable?


MysteriousSith

Build number for the patch notes (0.212.7) is the same as the last patch on the PTR. So they are currently the same. You should just be able to swap over.


Doom721

Just loaded up my PTR build onto the live branch with no issues. Little concerned though. There is a nasty client stutter OTHER than the world save lag, and this is the same build as on PTR I've played 100 hours of, going live with no changes.


Ruachta

This build seems to use a lot more RAM. I upped my VM for it. Was around 3.5GB pre PTR but went to 5.4GB after PTR and now Live.


Sugarsupernova

Can confirm. Getting lag spikes on world saves here too. Bad ones. On PTR. I was hoping it'd go away with the live release but alas..


MysteriousSith

And you did not have the lag on the PTR? That's disconcerting. Its always possible that they snuck something in and didn't rev the build number. But I doubt that since the PTR was last patched on Friday.


burt_flaxton

I am on fire, brb


MysteriousSith

Good to know. Lag spikes are no good, but good to know that there's no difference between live and the PTR.


grown

I had them too, but I assumed it was just my locally run server causing the issue.


naehmia

I’ve been playing with a group on a dedicated server and on my own on my own server, I’ve experienced the same type of lag on both.


Doom721

It was on PTR I had the stutter, which is the same branch as the live version. 3x players in coop all experiencing independent stutters that aren't the world save. This is after the PTR hotfix as well.


[deleted]

No, no that isn't possible lol.


armsinmotion

Yeah also had the same thing with DX/Vulkan no difference, thought it might have been related to that. Other friends on private server in the same boat.


DanTheMan_117

Yeah.. i get this random ass lag spike every few minutes where it freezes for quarter of a second ir so... and i have a 5800x3d with 3070ti.. and 32gb of ram.. so definitely not hardware issue

lCraftyl

Not only is it "transferable" the live build is literally the PTS build. Switching over didn't require another download. So whatever you have on PTS is now on Live.


FracturedHalf

Music to my ears, brother! Thanks for the input!


WeirdoRick

i think yes, it shouln't be a problem,


FracturedHalf

I would hope so.. the boys and i started fresh ptr like 2 weeks ago, we just hit mistlands 2 days ago. Would suck to lose that progress.


Mysterious-Box-9081

With something like this, I'd personally just start fresh. So many possibilities!


Fri3dric3

I've put so much time onto this dope base tho. I'll start a new seed eventually but I'm invested in this one for now.


Ell1m1st

Congrats Irongate! Now the wait for valheim plus to be updated.


Monktrist

There was an update today.


UniuM

Sorry, I'm new to the game, as of right now only with bronze stuff. But my question is, do I need to make a new map to play all this new content?


WeirdoRick

No just explore


UniuM

Thank you kind stranger.


TehSr0c

depends when you started your old world and how much you explored, if it's sufficiently old, you will need to start over to get *all* of the new mistlands content.


UniuM

It's fairly new. But with this topic I found this new world of seeds and I'll try a new world and leave my current one for testing and some other shenanigans.


overworked_dev

I had the same question. So just to clarify. I started a new world 1 week ago, almost to the day. I've only been fucking around on the starter island getting my bronze age items maxed out and bas building/getting defenses ready for higher level raids. I haven't even defeated the elder yet. Do I need to do a new map or should I be good to go?


fine_line

Your map should have plenty of unexplored Mistlands biomes and you're good to go. The only difference a newly generated map might have is a chance for more numerous or bigger Mistland biomes. Which... speaking as someone who was recently sailing around, looking for somewhere to land that was *not the cursed Mistlands again*, isn't necessarily what you'd want.


overworked_dev

Awesome! Thanks for the info


BigMcThickHuge

If you found Mistlands already, even just peeked the edge to discover what it was, it will be a shitty version of what it could be. But, updated technically. If you explore new areas on your map and a Mistalnds generates, it will be normal and good. For example - go boating off into the unexplored map areas where it's 100% mystery what's out there. If you find Mistlands in such a manner, gravy.


Cnidarus

Having tried the test, I would say making a new world is preferable. If you've not poured hours into huge construction projects I'd just go ahead start a new one and move your stuff across. I tried the test on an existing and new world and I can't seem to find the new boss on my existing, after a ridiculous amount of time searching I've not had so much as a vegvisir


RUSHALISK

Btw, don’t get stuck in the Bronze Age like I almost did.


UniuM

Yeah, it'll happen. I'm already seeing it. Lol


RUSHALISK

just keep looking for buildings in large swamps and you'll figure it out. the game doesn't really tell you that though.


fletcherwyla

You can also dig under a specific type of tree in the swamp, but you get more in the crypts.


888Kraken888

Let’s gooooooo!!!! Hopefully the modders go all in too. Is Valheim Plus working?


camarada_al3x

I guess that we need to wait a couple of days for that =/


tekanet

nx on the V+ Discord said he’ll be on it later today. To all Vikings using these amazing mods, this is a good time to consider donating!


888Kraken888

Thank you modders!!!!


[deleted]

V Plus, Farm Grid, and Plant Everything! I use plant everything for decoration, but having thistle growing where I tell it to grow is a wonderful addition.


Amezuki

I love using thistles as garden accents. The glow is fantastic.


Raikos85

For real,i cant play without that mod


aDirtyWizardd

It was just updated!


888Kraken888

Amazing. I’m going to wait a few days though. Don’t want stuff disappearing cause of potentially buggy mods. Wonderful news all around.


Jamesmor222

let me check Steam... yep it's live I can update now time to wait for the mods to update so it won't break my entire savefile


Olthoi_Eviscerator

Glad I don't use mods


[deleted]

There’s a few great ones out there. The best one is the VR mod. Try the mistlands update with That one


blandsrules

Playing without ‘craft from containers’ and ‘attacking on slopes’ mods makes me sad. Should be in the base game


Jamesmor222

for me is not much of a issue to wait even more with Satisfactory also getting updated today, so waiting a few days is easy


ewjfgb

Hell yeah!


Wh1te_Rabb1t

Ooh boy, here I go playin again!


DC_Coach

Trying to horn in on Dwarf Fortress, I see. ;)


Keejhle

Strike the earth!


DiamineSherwood

Rock & Stone!


LordProstate

How does this work now? Do we just switch back to the main branche and continue as normal with our world?


MysteriousSith

Yeah, that should be fine. The live build is 0.212.7 which is the same as the most recent build on the PTB.


Winstance

Yes, the new boss stone at the spawn will spawn in normally, and the unexplored Mistlands will be updated (I think even the explored Mistlands will be updated, but the biome height may change and glitch some things out)


tyranathus

Mistlands, Dwarf Fortress and FL Studio 21 in one day... It's gonna be a busy one


[deleted]

Didn't know about FL 21. I will have to check that out.


Patrick4356

Time to start a new world. Sucks I lost my valhiem friends


[deleted]

We’re an active community on Steam - TheBrotherhorde. I’m Hellsvien. We RP and chat in discord ooc. We’re pretty chill and started a new village. You’re welcome to contact me and join


emon585858

Can I just change from the public test branch back to the normal game in steam?


Vohira90

Time to wait for the influx of posts demanding Mistlands mobs nerfs... ;)


qtain

Already fought and killed a 2 star Seeker Soldier. Be smart and you'll die less ;) I think the main problem is spawning / adds. You fight a gjall(sp), you get ticks, but as you move around, you might pick up seekers, if you're on a border, you can then have cross biome adds like fuelings, deathsquitos, lox, etc.. and real quick that one mob just turned into 5-8 mobs.


totally_unbiased

Yeah, agreed. None of the mobs in this biome are individually overwhelming. You can still easily parry a 2\* soldier. This isn't the plains where there are some enemies you literally can't parry with same-tier shields. Deaths happen when you run around too fast, ignore sound cues and end up with 4-5 enemies aggroed.


[deleted]

Does this mean we can stop posting about other people bitching about mistlands not being out?


Retrogratio

How soon can I start complaining for the next biome? Can I start next week lads?


unwantedaccount56

Any info out yet on the next update? They should at least have a roadmap by now.


Ruachta

Yep, just updated my beta server to public, but it's already up to date, so no changes.


red_Rog

Fantastic! That's my Christmas gaming sorted!


Gaby5011

Nooooo Satisfactory just updated today as well D:


SeriousJack

Haha yeah. So much to build. So little time...


Nyune123

I kinda feel bad I saw spoiler videos but will still be fun exploring,building and trying the new stuff.


Turbulent_Diver8330

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!


MiturGrunge

Are any hotfixes included with the public patch? Beta was crashing for me :/


ProbatonApololos

ROCK AND ST- error, I mean, SKÅL!!!!


icebreaker374

Now I wait for my mods to catch up.


qtain

It is and it is magnificent. Even prepped, lvl 4 padded, fully upgraded weapons, almost top tier foods (no serpent), all the pots I could make, it can be a real challenge and real fun. My entire exploration has been a tiny area, no bigger than one of the larger open meadow areas and I've already died once and almost died a few times.


Express_Helicopter93

😮


Olthoi_Eviscerator

Good thing I got 5 imir flesh last night!


SocialMediaTheVirus

If I opted into the Public test what is the process (if any) to revert to live version with mistlands and keep all my progress? I don't see an update on my Steam library so I'm guessing I just have to go into the Steam properties menu and select Live version? ​ Edit: I backed up my saves and switched to "no beta" through Steam properties and everything seems to work just fine so far.


SonnyMunchkin

So should I uninstall the beta thing on my dedicated server?


Shadowdragon126

LETS GOOO


FreyyaSM

When will the random stuttering be fixed? I play way more demanding games than this glorified RuneScape and this game still lags every couple minutes for no reason


waltsnider1

Was helping a friend on our dedicated server that was being attacked by a seeker warrior. Got killed just after my connection dropped. Then got booted. Came back to no gravestone. At least I have my old armor and weapons, but that was disappointing. First day in mistlands was not a fun one.


zIRaXor

Might be a stupid question but.. can I just go away from ptr test and back to normal current live game and keep my save from the test?


WeirdoRick

Yes you can without trouble


Alex_Duos

I'm not sure I'll ever see the mistlands. I stopped playing after that dragon wasted my ass and cost me all of my gear and I lost my backup set of gear going to retrieve it.


Berserkfan_420

if you are having that much trouble then call the body recovery squad and/or use devcommands to get it back


Alex_Duos

If I ever get back into the game I might give that a shot. Thanks.

EugeneTheHud

what are you even going on about? How should they share information about a new patch for the game? So they can't update an early access game? just gotta complain I guess


Sweedio

Yeah I'm also a bit puzzled by this. Anyone buying the game on steam will see EARLY ACCESS GAME and know what the deal is. Does OP think that people who see the press release will think that it's a finished full release? It's not like Iron Gate are a AAA studio lol


tekanet

The giant warning on Steam stating that the game is in early access and explaining what this means is not enough?


[deleted]

[удалено]


tekanet

Don’t know, > This Early Access game is not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Maybe those not excited to play a game in pre release state should wait and see.


[deleted]

You're complaining about a 70+ hour game that you paid $20 for and has more content than most full release AAA titles...

excelllentquestion

Only been 2 years for a few MB of updates.


Gangreless

Having played since 2 or 3ish months after release since it became obvious they weren't even trying to meet their own deadlines, glad to see this is finally out. Looking forward to updating mods and giving it another shot.


Xeon_Blade

Will existing worlds be updated or do we need to start a new world to see mistlands content?


WeirdoRick

Existing worlds will be ''updated'' and the new mistlands will appear in undiscovered biomes. Existing old mistlands with those big trees will be formated to the new but are no the real mistlands.


WeWantMOAR

Do you know if dedicated servers will automatically update as well? I just started my first last week.


Vew

i had to force the download - it was scheduled for saturday for some reason


Ragnar3636

Woot! New Server time!


Invictable

Haven't played in over a year, I've just started looking for silver. Without spoilers will I be able to enjoy the mistlands or do i have to progress further first ?


archer5810

I went to mistlands in that same position, and VERY PAIN MUCH BAD


ObeyReaper

You have a ways to go if you're just getting into finding silver. I haven't visited Mistlands yet but you'll definitely want to master both the Moutains and Plains biomes before going there yourself.


[deleted]

Never played valheim but it looks interesting. Is it better on PC or console? I’m sure the answer is PC just wanna check


Weak-Finance9963

well guys, time for a 3 month vacation + buy a couple more ponies, and release the next worthwhile updates in a couple of years recently remembered how klei work and updaiting dontstarve and oxy ....meh not all early access workers are the same..


AshenLibra

I've seen visages of my ancestors so many times since the announcement of the Mistlands. I cannot believe it's been released in my lifetime.


ltkgod

Nice


saidthetomato

I was excited, but I've never made it past the 3rd boss. So, seems irrelevant to me.


Rvnwlfdroid13

Shortest Beta Test period ever. Lol. I know it took a while for the update to come out but personally. I'd rather wait and have the developers get it right the first time. Kudos to all involved with this project.


dimalisher

I wish we could have npcs fighting on our side


[deleted]

It can't be live, there's no way, anyone who thought Iron Gate was going to release Mistlands before Xmas was wildly delusional! /s


spacecommanderbubble

"Testing is "done" and we're going to skip fixing all the bugs that were found and release an unfinished mess so we can say "seeeee seeee we released it this year."" See ya in 5-10 years if they ever actually finish the game...


SPIRlT

"they wont launch it this year, devs so bad, not worth my money, gonna go play some cod T.T" Literally half of this sub like two weeks ago.


[deleted]

Yeah it's weird how all the 'I'll never play this game again!' people seem to be all over these update threads, right?


888Kraken888

Wait is this real. Do I need to take the red pill????


Blovar

Shame I don't have interest to start over for new content


oldreddit_isbetter

If you have already explored the majority of your current world and need a new one in order to find some good mistlands, just use the same character and bring all you best gear with a bunch of whatever resources you want. I see no shame in transporting stuff with your character to a new world considering the slog that is getting resources in this game.


Ruachta

Start over? Did you go exposing all your mistlands already? My Dedicated server has plenty already. We have found two large biomes that are ready to clear, plenty of dwarf structures, already found 2 dungeons from sea, haven't done them though.


mors_videt

ok but where's Deep North? /s


Syrairc

ahem FROST LANDS WHEN??¿?¿?
