They Turned Valheim Into An Open World RPG 

SO excited this looks incredible af

This looks amazing. Thank you for such dedication.

Lets gooooo!

Take your time with it and have fun :D

@@innerg_92 Cant wait to share it! Thank you

Looks amazing Dhakhar. Great builds all around.

Dude! This is out of this world!

These builds are absolutely beautiful

Perhaps we could get an asmongold valheim world tour in the meantime.

Way to go buddy!! :D

I would love to see Valheim devs react to this. I'm sure they'd be ecstatic to know that people love their game this much

Now I'm not into valheim as a player cause well I don't own it. However it does impress me. This mod especially. Anyways is the valheim team not considered indie? If so I also imagine since valheim kinda dies in popularity they may be running off income and revenue to stay afloat, meaning they may not have the resources to hire anyone new. They could however at the least reach out to this guy and his team and collaborate or partner with them for a deal or something. Tbh if this stuff was put officially into valheim then I would most likely buy it

Hiring people? Valheim dev team? L00000L

Yes! More abandoned locations even, empty ruins waiting to be found and rebuilt/refurbished would be amazing let alone populated locations.

​@@sacullll Does Iron Gate have a frugal history with hiring people?

It’s fantastic but just remember that it’s usually easier to build upon an established platform than to create a platform from scratch. That being said for anything from a AA and AAA game I have zero patience or sympathy for unfinished games.

Never forget. DOTA came from a mod for warcraft 3, league got inspired by it and popularised it. An entire new genre of game was born from a mod pack for a blizzard RTS

@@ethanwalker955 And before that Tower Defense from SC1! :)

@@ethanwalker955 Also Counter-Strike was a mod for Half-Life. It's funny how the community makes the best games out of games. And now the devs use them as cash grabs.

@@SuperPentti yup counter strike went to shit when valve bought it. Not right away but over time.

The thing about Valheim, which is the game I'm playing most right now, is that it's unplayable multiplayer. The netcode is so garbage it simply can't be played with friends reliably or be enjoyable. Apparently the reason no one can fix the lag is because you would have to recode the entire game from the ground up to fix it.

why tf would they do that lmfao

​@@wickian9571 Nah, there's a netcode mod through Comfy Valheim that fixes Valheim so you can play with 50+ people without lag. Maybe even more now, I haven't played for a year.

@@wickian9571 Personally, I like playing survival and crafting games solo. Maybe the devs had imagined the game like that initially.

@@Ligael_Verne From what I understand that's exactly what happened. They made the game to be single player, then added in multiplayer as an afterthought a bit before release. Or at least that what I read somewhere.

Yeah the only time it “lags” for me is when it auto saves

@@Covey7342 yea same happens for me, but as you said, it's more "lag" than actual lag

When it released in Xbox gamepass it was dang near unplayable... I got to the plains and couldn't handle how hard that it plus the lag. I upgraded consoles since. It runs smooth as melted butter on a warm piece of toast. Only lag is a one second stutter on the half hour autosave

​@@HighBongHurleymust of been your internet pal it was fine for me on Xbox and my mate we smashed it everyday and in my mate's world he had a massive compound with walls and trenches everywhere and it never lagged with two of in.

With a few people on multiplayer and a decent amount of structures nearby the game does lag

While waiting, you can probably check The Olde Road mod. It's a similar mod with pre-built building and we can explore and role-playing within

Same here, though I will do so as a Duelist, Monk, Ranger or Rogue. (I can't decide just yet. Can you tell? 😁)

I agree, this is probably the best reaction video I have ever seen.

This game tends to bring out that young creative in all of us that had grand ideas for things we wanted to make and when we see another persons best work it rekindles our inspiration to push for even bigger and better ideas ourselves. The best part about the game is the community itself.

​@@TheXboxSuxwell said

Genuine question, it seems to be 1/2 buildings per zone in an horrible looking game, what are you hyped for?

​@@adamkantar2493obvious bait is obvious. Are you even trying?

The valheim devs released a statement to modders asking for mods to not be behind paywalls. this was because there were groups of modders selling mod packs. they ended up making the mod packs free. I don't think people would do that again.

@@ferretdash Mental, considering the drought of content after abandoning their first roadmap after sales numbers skyrocketed. Not really one who likes paid mods, but someone has to deliver content somehow.

@@adamkantar2493 Gonna pretend this isn't bait to just say that anyone who has actually played the game understands the beauty of it, it doesn't need high tier graphics to be an amazing game

The Devs dont respect the modding community of Valheim at all. No mod tools, regularly putting own the tiniest little updates (to bugs) that constantly break mods (rather than bundling several bug fixes together), and any mod-discussion is relegated to the very bottom of the Valheim discord, like the red-headed stepchild Irongate sees them as. One of my buddies is a modder and he came up with a netcode fix that allows up to 100 people to play on his server. His main job is programming for a fortune 500 company. He tried to share his code with Irongate and they flatout ignored / refused to give him the time of day. Their "vision" is a game for 10 or less players and they refuse to expand their vision to accommodate what players have been clamoring for from this game.

​@@mateobarrett6829 They're focusing on completing the game they envisioned, proper mod support can come after when everything is polished and complete. Implementing proper mods and external input can be implemented after everything is complete and working as intended and they can shift their focus to supporting mod tools and implementing additional content

@@mateobarrett6829 "respecting the modding community" not every game welcomes mods. That has nothing to do with respect. The exact same thing can be said about modders not "respecting" the developer's vision of the game. So silly.

​​@@mateobarrett6829I mean as is their prerogative. It's their game after all. If all they want to do is create the game they envisioned and not facilitate ways to alter that vision I can respect that. It's not like it's an attack on the community.

@@Holykriger Sure that is true, but dear god are they so GOD DAMN SLOW AT DOING THE UPDATES

I can see that being the reason. I've observed when players make changes to the map it has to load them in over the original. It's kinda annoying. Also render distance needs to be allot further.

the terraforming has been fixed for a long time now. the real problem is all the small pieces count as their own game objects, rather than 1 game object per building.

@@simpson6700 Ok, I played a few months ago and the performance was fine, but I also just got a new PC, so I thought it was that. Will be interesting to see how it runs.

@@simpson6700this 100%. If you track the “instance count” big builds cause a massive lag spike as it tries to render and load each and every piece

​@@donalddouds6033 I know the code for this might be a bit much, but if a structure meets stability requirements it should a "add" itself to form a unique entity. These new entities would need a hitbox code assigned at merge, adding 1 hitbox location extra per add. It might at least cut the render everything singular problem.

true true and true. playing this with a group of friends it easily my favorite gaming experience ive ever had.

So true. That is my biggest gripe with Valheim. It's a nice little experience but it gets boring fairly quickly. There just isn't enough content. An outstanding foundation for a game but it's currently like 5% of what it could be. Sooo much wasted potential.

Same, its amazing.

The dev team is already full of passionate people.

@@EB-bl6cc valheim with actual towns would be great

I skipped around the video without sound. How is Goth involved in this? Providing capital to the devs? Agree though, I have watched many hours of Goth raiding in Destiny and Destiny 2. Cool to see how he has evolved over the years.

If you still want some help, let me know

@@stevengrogan9972 That guys morrowind overhaul when?

@@vinceb8123 shit bro, im already working on a dlc mod for new vegas, a questing overhaul for fallout 4, and another dlc sized mod for skyrim, probably awhile

Really reminded me of Kelethin in EverQuest:)

you will LOVE the plains, they are scary and hard to survive in, very unforgiving, but they are so pretty and my favorite place to live in. Good Luck, You Got This!

wait until you make it to the mistlands@@sYd6point7

The swamps were the worst for me, I definitely had to create a strategy to finish it, but the tools and tech I used carried me through the rest, have fun, and corpse run

If you play the game in order you should be fine taking on all of the content.

Go watch the original video

​@@MrRedpanda2442 nou

haha spot on

Bruh it should stay vslheims difficulty imo.

he wants all the mist gone

⁠@@ThrashMoshI mean… it’s like a really small team. They had like 5 people for a big part of the games life

chill dude, its like 5 people. blizzard and mmorpg makres have like 20+

@@ThomasRe-lh9pnMore like hundreds for Blizzard and the bigger MMO's

I'd rather them take the time they need and come back to it when it's ready. They aren't pushing microtransactions so why the rush?

Devs are doing code and stuff which modders use

55fps on a modern pc is laggy you fool 😂

Its way laggier once you get more than 5 people, especially if you have done a ton of terrain editing. If you edited terrain with pickaxe/hoe near spawn too much you could make people need to load for legit 10 min

That literally doesn’t matter, it’s the sheer fact that in games like Diablo you can tell there isn’t much passion effort put into the game. Now that can be due to a multitude of reasons, some outside most of the devs control but it doesn’t excuse the fact that some title that either should have been great from the start or started off great but lost its dev teams passion ends up falling on non paid molders to come in and fix/polish a product .

everything can be optimized , they’re probably just trying to build community support for the project so it can get more contribution

Agree look at what CDPR made with the Witcher games. Everyone on the team seems like to regard the Witcher books as their holy book.

Gotta get that good screen cap for the thumbnail

Just know beforehand, I’m just joking. But you weren’t experiencing lag, because you were the lag.

I didn't have lag in the base experience, but i definitely ran into problems after creating builds with thousands of terrain deformation changes and forts, etc.

""They are just copy pasting ideas from other games. Nothing original" and other games are good lol so maybe that isn't a bad thing

@@Redrum-707 For real lmao, I wonder how many gamers would be shocked to find out that when you learn about game design they tell you to use ideas that have worked in other games lmao
