Too deep in Conan right now to do anything new (especially since Cranky has started playing), but once I start, which server do I play? Is Gas running mods Dave isn't? What's the difference? Is one hardcore?

--Patrick
To my knowledge, there are no mods. I didn't know Dave was running a dedicated server.

Lag manifests itself in really odd ways in this game. Emrys was playing with me, and normally in games there would be rubberbanding or disconnections... but all that happened from her point of view was that events that were occuring in game would not be shown to her for nearly 45 seconds. This, despite our discord conversation being instant and (usually) clear, and the fact that I could stream my game to her and she could watch it.
 
OK, a bunch of things have gone missing from chests in mine and Snuffle's camps, including all the Mead we were saving for a boss fight and 1100 or so coins. Was someone a dick or did something in the game fuck up? We didn't think we'd need to put up wards, but the things that are missing are just too specific.

I hate to say it, but maybe it's time to implement access aura totems :/ I don't want to think that anyone's being a dick in particular, but this is the only way to be sure and confirm that it is, in fact, a bug. After all, it's not outside the realm of possibility for it to be a bug, I've had entire chests disappear.

If it was full chests, maybe I'd think it was a bug, but it's valuable things from random chests.

Two players with steam names I don't recognize logged in around 3:30 am last night, named Jakob and Spookie Ookie. My guess is they got the login info from this thread (possibly by google searching my name and valheim).

I'll be changing the server's password and sending a PM to those already playing.

Confirmed, my own home got raided and all the valuables taken as well.

If you need to replace any items you lost, you can start a single player game, and hit f5, and type imacheater

then you can enter console commands to spawn items (spawn Copper 5) . More details on cheating here:


I recommend you go easy on it though, because it will ruin your game if you abuse it.

It doesn't work on the dedicated server, even for an admin, but since you can move your character back and forth between your own game and the server...

Begs the question of why these guys even bothered to take our stuff when they can just spawn their own.
 
Gas and Anna questioned me when I set up a ward a couple days ago. Honestly, I just did it out of curiosity's sake, but as long as it was there, I saw no reason to remove it.

Just logged in, and all of my stuff is still intact.
 
Snuffles and I are consolidating and locking up our portals. If anyone wants a portal to the second boss, you will need to make your own portal on your side, and name said portal TheElder

What happens if there's more than two portals with the same tag? How does it determine where to send you?

Dunno, haven't tried. We also aren't using that portal anymore, so it won't be an issue to us

Snuffles and I have abandoned our first base. We left a portal in there that goes to The Elder, but we're not using it anymore, so if anyone wants it, have at it.

I look forward to seeing what architectural monstrosity Snuffles comes up with next.

Much to my surprise, my house in the noob area was beseiged today... by Draugr and Skeletons. "A FOUL SMELL FROM THE SWAMP" indeed. Was not expecting that level of aggression so close to the starting circle.

I'm pretty sure siege difficulty is tied to server progress, but don't worry, Snuffles and I want nothing to do with Bonemass for a few days at least. We have projects.

Reddit seems to think it's tied to the number of days the server has been active.

Something else odd happened last night. Emrys and I were mining tin, and Emrys asked me "Uh, what's that over there?"

I looked, and there was a shadowy man-sized figure wearing a hooded robe so that no part of him was visible, carrying some sort of staff or stick. Just standing 20 yards away from us, looking. As we moved toward it, it vanished in a puff of smoke. It was very menacing and eerie.

Snuffles saw him a couple of days ago.
 
Same thing has been reported on reddit.


with no clear answer as to what it is yet.

The wiki suggests it may be odin watching the player.
