V Rising General /vrg/

Post castles

I suggest a different title
>t. the other /vrg/

i would say flavor of the month but its more like flavor of the week

>playing with gf
>dc because internet goes out for a split second
>game refuses to let me reconnect to the server after restarting both of our games and steam
waste of money. early access dogshit scam that's already slow as fuck even when it's working

>>385228984
It really should just be /vamp/.. if it even lives long enough.

I support /vrig/ threads. I am having a good time with this making the castle.

Anyone else use golems as wage slaves to do your tree chopping and rock harvesting?

>vrg title gets stolen
>vr bros lost again
How does this keepnhappening bros?!

>>385223860 (OP)
Oh hey this is a weird looking /vrg/ thread
is it halloween already?

>>385247649
One we'll get our own board. Trust the plan.

Hello guys so what headset should I get for my virtual reality experience?

I really want a index but I think it’s becoming a bit to late for that so maybe a quest?

How is the community in /vrg/ meets? Are people nice, what are they talking about do you guys have a discord?

I really love hanging out with my friends in /vrg/ - Virtual Reality General! Any events or instances going tonight bros?

How do I cure hides to leather? I can't upgrade the castle heart without them. And the grinder needs a material I can't find.
How do I call in players to go fight a boss?

>>385248684
That really depends, visitor of the lovely virtual reality general.
Right now, the cheapest point of entry seems to be the quest 2, but even though there were promises to not need Facebook anymore, so far you still do. Also your data may or may not be Sold to our New Chinese overlords.
The middle of the road option is still the index. Kind if embarrassing, considering it is 3 years old desu. If you go with any other headset, you can easily beat the index in one aspect, but on others it I a downgrade. It all depends on what is more important to you. Resolution? Audio or mic quality? Solid tracking? Field of view?
Note that there Also might maybe be the index 2 on the horizontal. But nobody knows if that is true or not.

violent videogames

>>385255631
why are people so accepting of the furry/TDA/tranny rando on the right? they openly don't use 4chan but people don't want to votekick them...

>>385256845
i just want to be left alone and dont have too much drama to be honest. yes, they are sometimes annoying and sometimes difficult to be around, but does it really justify to be preemtively hostile? if they cant handle the tranny and furry banter then they will leave

Is the game worth 20€?
I liked battlerite alot, but the low price indicates its just a small indie game

>>385256845
A is fine, meeting randos is part of this 'game' anyway

>>385258329
Yes, it's got a lot of content for it's price.

Only issue right now is on PVP servers chinks are hacking by going under the map to sneak into castles and loot chests, if devs can fix it quick that would be nice, otherwise can swap to private servers

>>385261861
Can't find it on the quest store. Is it pc vr only?

When you set up a server are you able to freely change it being PvE or PvP after the fact? Or are you locked in?

>>385252601
I found the Frost Archer and somehow it gave me the leather machine to build.

>>385258329
If you want comfy PvE at your own pace yes. For PvP look at videos and stuff.

servers fucking suck aaaa

How's the replayability?

Do we have a server?

dead thread
dead game

Does anyone know why I can only recover half health sometimes?

>>385270486
Mandatory, since the servers will reset and do stuff because early access.

>>385247649
vr sisters its fucking over.....

>can't build palisade wall next to palisade gateway since it's blocked by one of the pillars of the pallisade gateway
>can build palisade wall on the exact same spot as the gateway and replace it

Thinkin bout getting this game fellas, is the DLC actual content or just cosmetic stuff? Thanks

Is there any quartz in the silverlight hills? I wanna find a spot where I can build my second castle but I can't really explore the area without getting shot to shit yet.

>>385279503
if you drop below ~80% max health, your "max health" gets reduced until you exit combat. check above your Q/E abilities for debuff that says in combat

>>385293578
Yeah the building is a lot better than other games in some aspects (being able to move chests that have items in them) but theres still some weirdness like only being able to put stairs in predetermined areas

>>385295243
Cosmetic.

>PvE server
>raiding enabled (always)
how exactly does this work?

>>385263870
"hacking into the map"
how the fuck? where is this being discussed?

>not working together with the other vamps to enslave humanity
>just want the neighbor's goat to die and raid their castles
Ngmi.

>>385269647
PvE looks like it's just play and win, PvP looks bad unless you have a group.

>play on a pvp server with solo clans and 2x rates
>suddenly the game is fun

>solo clans
Have fun trying to find somewhere decent to base up

>>385295243
Don't touch dlc. Show them that they should work on their game instead of cosmetics.

>official servers allow 40 people in
>the only place to build is next to a beginning area swamp with a rock troll on one side and a tree monster on the other
>quit
>play solo

This game has absolutely perfect pacing in terms of upgrades.

>Linux dedicated server install requires a gui to run the entirely cli based server
>there's also no actual Linux support
>but there's still Linux files

At least I'm having fun with my friends. The faux 3d and limited building options, plus any focus on jank pvp instead of just adding more mechanical depth will probably stop this getting as big as valheim, but this has been a serious video game drought so I'll take it

>>385323383
I hope it gets proper linux support so I can farm mats from my Deck

so i tried this game and why are all the servers pretty much empty ? game seems dead already

Why is there such a difficulty spike with Ferocious Bear?

Wheres the best spot to fish? Spawn rate seems really low.

>>385303783
NPCs raiding you

How the fuck do I farm schematics? And how does the game determine when technology books drop? Are there spots they are more likely to drop?

>>385223860 (OP)
Gaaaah... I just can't get into this shit. I like the vampire aspects, the combat is... OK. But the crafting is just boring as fuck. It's like making you play some crazy cat lady making doilies to sell on Etsy 90% of the time with 10% of fun combat tacked on every once in a while.

Level 49 and just so tired of gathering and crafting like every other damn games these days.

>putrid rat
what a fucking nigger cocksucking little faggot this shitheel is. I've never seen an enemy in any game despawn and recover to full health for no reason three times back to back, holy shit. Once he does his 50% HP summon and disappear thing, I kill all the rats and then he pops back up with full health unaggroed, I'm not even moving away from him, he's inherently at my base

I did something bad today. I found an abandoned castle heart and destroyed it.
Also I found a half wooden room later with a heart a vamp sleeping on the ground and a chest.
I opened the chest and stole a few of this supplies and gems.

The only fucking server where I'm playing solo and lvl 51, and IT'S ALWAYS PEAK FULL WHAT THE FUCK AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

OPPS FORGOT TO CENSOR THE OTHER PART WHERE IT SHOWS THE SERVER
DONT GIVE A FUCK

>>385343641
>>385343765
im sieging your base right now ;)

Is there a vg server?

>>385351053
don't think so or I would join

>>385252601
You unlock the Tanning Rack from killing the frost archer. The grinder requires whetstones made from the forge. You get the recipe for it from the armorer bandit. If you're ever not sure of how to progress with building, check your blood altar for someone you can kill that unlocks what you need.

>>385351053
I'd join if there was one, but I doubt anyone's got the means to set up a dedicated one or multiple depending on how many people even play.

>>385351343
>>385353965
Can someone from EU host so we can play? I cant because i live in bumfuck nowhere so the ping of everyone else will be really bad. Honestly dont ever care about losing progress or whatever i just want to play with my vg bros...

>>385343548
He was inactive for more than a week, or didn't feed his castle, which is just as bad.

Is dark silver a huge pain in the ass to reach or is it just me? Playing a coop game with 2 other friends and it feels like we're all just permanently on farm scroll mode until we get the pattern for the merciless iron mace to be able to break silver veins. On top of that the scourge stone farm is also a pain in the ass, quartz comes in such small quantities and grave dust is also becoming annoying.

Stuck at gear level 59 for now it seems.

>>385357993
Make use of servants.

>>385357993
>we get the pattern for the merciless iron mace to be able to break silver veins
You know any merciless iron weapon works right, it doesnt have to be a mace

>>385223916
It was very considerate of the devs to put in a painting of my exact vamp-toon.

hello fellow VR players in this VR general thread, how goes it?

Just got into the iron, which one is the best weapon anons?

guessing the game isn't worth picking up if i have no friends right?

>>385367582
I can be your friend :)

>Check thread
>No dedicated vg server
Would really like to play somewhere else. Having fun but some officials settings fucking sux.

What would be your preferred server settings? For me :
>Medium pop (like 20~30 idk)
>Single Castle Heart per clan
>Slight buff to droprate and servants missions time
>No durability loss on pvp death
And maybe
>No looting player corpses
Minimum drawback to PvP. Ppl would argue no corpse looting would kill the incentives to pvp but imo kicking someone's butt to farm a spot is a legit reason.

I'm trying to host a server but the exe just crashes on startup and there are no solutions on their github. /vg/bros... we got too cocky

It says here that I need to make a servant and it needs a mega essence. Is this a boss material?

If I get enough (you)'s I'll make a dedi. Supply desired settings and location since I'm only making one

>>385373719
Blood press, needs 4 boss hearts until you kill Tristan

Damn the hardest part in this game is finding a vacant place to build a castle. Housing market is fucked in this game.

im playing solo pve, i like it but damn it's so hard to drop the recipes

It was a mistake to play on a PvP server. Always some faggot that interupts me while fighting bosses or gathering stuff. If I ever get sieged I'm just gonna start over on PvE or play on my own private server.

>its a good idea to build a base in later game areas instead of early game area because of the resources around the base
>traveling is a pain in the ass so unloading anything I gathered in the early game area takes 40 minutes
REEEE

>>385368487
The virtual reality general unironically has a server named /vrg/ lmao

>>385377323
yeah i gave up on moving stuffs, made a second base in the middle of the map (near the iron mine) and ditched my first castle (south of the copper mine)

>>385374018
Already posted my pref settings >>385368487
>>385377468
>The virtual reality general unironically has a server named /vrg/ lmao
For real? I believed they were just memeing.

>>385379117
No lol, they're apparently all playing v rising on a server named /vrg/ lol.

How do I get rid of garlic debuff faster? Shit takes forever

>>385380194
Idt anything helps to drop stacks faster but you can use a garlic resistance potion (+25 or +50) to slow down the stacking

>>385380194
>>385380841
garlic resistance also drops the debuff faster

>>385381398
Oh ok cool nvm then. I've barely used them since I'd rather send servants to farms for cotton now.

>>385379180
Looks like some sekreet klub clique shit. They ain't promoting the server in their thread at all. Reel 4chan server whan? Maybe on >>>/vm/ ?

smelting iron is so slow...

>>385385172
>smelting iron is so slow..
Make multiple furnaces it's cheap af

>>385258329
The solo content it already has is worth 20€ if you like this kind of game imo, a tad grindy as a solo player on the standard rates, but the Battlerite gameplay translates surprisingly well to PvE

If an enemy player has a skull for thier rank I'm just fucked if they fight me right?

Had to run from a few now and didn't want to risk it

What can you do with slaves/thralls?
I'm still a ways away from finishing the throne to control them
Also where is a good place to farm quartz

Anyone know the best spot for catching sage fish?

>>385389604
You can send them on missions to get you mats. Like quartz, for instance.
Best place to get quartz yourself though is the church at Mosswick Village

>>385389419
Yes.

I'm on PVE right now and this low level dude is exposed out in the open, he built a small camp next to my castle but didnt feed it any blood so now he's vulnerable. If I drag him inside and just open my gate can he steal anything on my castle?

>join server
>get to iron tech
>server resets/wipes/disappears the next day without warning
on my fifth repeat of this shit going into a potential sixth
at least i know how to progress the noob forest really fast now

>>385396407
Build a 1x1 room, put him inside, wall off the entrance

Best PVP build? i think mace + aegis + the double shadow bolts with scholar blood is perfect

>>385401324
unfortunately I made the mistake of picking a 4man clan pvp server before shilling to my friends instead of a solo/duo server so most pvp for me has been escaping 3-4p ganks

I pretty much only run axe (2 dash is fast) with the illusion dash and frost bolts + aegis, idk if there are better skills for escaping later

not a terrible build for the few times I've managed to find balanced fights either

>>385400923
he's my neighbor and it's hard enough to find a place in servers.

>>385360850
>windows on every wall
>no curtains
you've realized by now why that was a bad idea, I assume

We have a T3 castle heart that I put a lot of work into

here is the coffin room and teleporter room + minor garden

if anyone wants to see more lmk

>>385403843
forgot pic

we have a bigger garden in the lower level courtyard/library/loom area

>>385404084
one angle of the heart room

>>385367582
It is pretty tough solo but everyone needs to kill the bosses to progress so you'll probably find help even on a pvp server.

Feels like there’s little point to raiding, especially since there’s no crazy anti raid building styles you can do with the basic box grid style system.

Would’ve preferred if they gave incentive to make your base look nice and you get some sort of home base combat buff when your under attack for doing so. Give it a sort of “you become the big boss” vibe. Instead of just kicking down doors for shit mats.

>>385410308
true but it's early access that might be on the radar
I mean you've seen how huge the list of v types is havent you it's got a lot going for it as it is

>>385401324
Chaos Bolt is a solid pick. Good dmg with okay speed but sometimes 2nd cast has to be canceled. Also it works because shields are criminally underrated.
For the dash Chaos > Unholy > Frost.
Chaos gives insane mobility, double immunity frames and 25% x2 + 50% x2 spell dmg.
Unholy 5sec (8sec cd) 25% dmg increase is extremely underrated.
Frost 125% shield + snare just a no brainer.
Haven't tried much ults yet. Using Mirror Strike atm but it requires a set up with a stun and enemy dash on CD.
For weapons all you want is to plug that sweet Spear's main "Q" skill in the enemy butt. Other weapons are situational whether your "Q" or "E" are up, if you need ranged/melee control or a gap closer.

I've created a /vg/ V Rising server. Direct connect to:

67.205.164.28

The server list sucks cock but it's named /vg/ Rising if you manage to find it. The specs aren't shit but if you have problems complain in the thread and I'll probably see it eventually lmao

>>385414870
What settings?

>>385415005
mostly default but can be modified if I can make sense of the json. Small boost (+20%) to drop and gather rates and tighter ranges on raid times. I know this is /vg/ but I imagine some people have mcjobs that require them to leave the house. TZ is EST, Server is in NYC.

Any major issues won't require more than a shutdown and json modification. The world saves dont care what the base settings are.

>>385414870
Will you allow duo clans or something. Also I personally think 1.5x-2x mining resources is better so more chances to fight in PvP. I was in game and no one responded in global.

How do I get the most of the slashers stealth attacks? I just got the iron ones and I think I want to build around that play style.

>>385417027
Clans are currently set to 4p as default, but I can set that wherever. Nobody responded because you were the first person to connect lmao

Is it worth it if I just want to play pve side? I might get into pvp server but not right now, I don't have enough time to log on daily.

>>385361823
Scythes are amazing. And you have the General's Reaper craft, so I'd say go for that one.
It's pretty fucking good.

>>385418050
I'm playing with a friend on a pve save and it's pretty fun.

I would increase the drop rate at the very least, I'm playing on mostly vanilla settings other than equipment decay on 0.5 because I hate that normally in games, but I've had to farm a couple of rare drops a little more than I would have liked.

>>385368487
Medium pop, 1 heart per clan, 1 player per clan, faster servant speed (more fun, less grind), PVP durability loss and normal corpse looting. Full looting is misery if you're repeatedly on the wrong end, but normal looting is fine. Some peeps don't know, but the durability loss on death is actually dropped as materials on your corpse, so if you manage to get it back, you can immediately repair your shit.

>>385413186
Yeh I really like the unholy dmg increase, it's basically impossible to miss, you have 2 charges and the CD is short

>>385403437
doesnt matter at all, sunlight doesnt get in even on open windows

>>385377323
The best places to build bases are actually at the opposite ends of the cave networks.

You teleport into a region, then take the caves back to your base because you can take resources through them.

>been playing on a pve server solo
>the nightmare that pvp must be
I cant imagine what level of a clusterfuck the iron mines must be given you habe 1 entry point and only 2 exits on the other side. Both of which could be blocked off by bases.

Not to mention it was a mistake to allow groups to have 4 bases, what are they thinking. I was super lucky on my pve server because i started day 1 and grabbed a central location with fantastic resources on it but by now every location must be taken on every server.

>>385421245
>Both of which could be blocked off by bases
There's a boundary around any PvE-related zone that prevents building. So you can't box up both Iron mine exits. Depending on the server, it can range from relaxing and hellish, since sometimes people will camp there to catch people out while other times, people have already gotten all the iron they need for the next day or 2 and you can have the whole damn place to yourself.
It's especially cozy with a reaper since the 2nd ability harvest a fat pile of mats.

>>385421679
Shouldn't you use a hammer, durability loss on smacking minerals is pretty big

>>385332336
I failed a bunch of times until I used axes for the movespeed buff, chaos bolts for damage, frost dash for even more damage and dodging his charge and aegis for the damage you cant avoid.

Its fun how some bosses get beaten by certain combos.

>>385422014
It's really not that bad. A friend of mine uses a mace and I can literally harvest Iron faster than him using a reaper.

>teleportation with items available
Game fixed.

>>385424472
The mild pressure of getting back to your base with resources on a PVP server is actually enjoyable.

>>385424565
>playing sweat-fest
No thanx.

>>385422383
ya i had a severely impossible time with the bear, died more to the bear than any dark souls boss desu, just trying new combos every time until i settled on chaos bolts, aegis and chaos movement. the first time i tried that combo it died pretty ez. That exact combo but bloodrage instead of chaos bolts was a total wipe every time, and shadowbolt was the same. But I also couldnt swap aegis for anything. I put it down to a skill issue desu

So many great potential games being subverted and wrecked by fotm shit design.
>play as a vampire where you have your own castle, have spells and shit, and dominate humies into working for you
awesome!
>except it'll be pixel-art, grid-based, and all about gathering resources from nodes
huh. might still be good
>oh yeah and it'll be always online with a bunch of third-worlders lol

>>385425543
nobody is forcing you to buy the game, and you can play pirate if you research a bit

>>385414870
there already is a vrg server

>>385425543
>up gather and drop rates
>play solo
>pixel art
>implying

I got a werewolf and waited to till day to enslave him.
Was curious what would happen if I got to night with him like that and he turned back into a werewolf.
Currently, babysitting him pacing back and forth, will try to enthrall him again when day comes and see if anything special happens if you try to convert him.

>>385426383
and yet, when asked for it, nobody could supply the information. only say "well there is a vrg server from the actual /vrg/ but nobody knows the information" in the general. so alas, i made a server and posted the details in the general. if you have the details for a better, more mature and established server, then post the deets.

>>385426559
Ok, so I waited till day and he turned back into a villager. Curiously, his blood rating turned from 28% to 50%
Not sure if it just re-randomizes blood rating when a werewolf goes through multiple cycles, or if it gets increased.
Currently, turning him into a thrall. It says nothing out of the ordinary, but I'll post if anything strange happens after he turns.

>>385426830
>online play
>find servers
>display all servers
>search "vrg"

>>385427738
Weird his blood rating changed maybe its bugged

>>385427867
the server list sucks ass and doesn't display everything. im hosting 3 servers for this game and exactly zero of them are visible in the server list, even if you just sit there assuming its continually struggling and failing to load everything.

>>385427867
>>385428380
here is the ip for the vrg server
176.57.165.129:31400

>>385419956
i'd say Axes are really insane for Kiting and and maces are really good for engage and distrupt

>>385429613
>>385429343
here

Are there any good solo/duo servers up now for EU? could be even 2x dont give a fuck . PVP / full loot . not dead ones tho

>>385223916

>>385361823
Where the fuck do you get the helmet?

>>385361823
Reaper for PVE . Axes/maces for pvp. Slasher for solo PVE

>>385429930

>>385429930
Throne looks like it's in a pretty shit spot honestly.
Very nice aesthetic otherwise.

>>385428380
>>385427738
Having found another werewolf near the end of day time, I decided to engage this one for experimentation. I'm pretty sure I'll have to wait near it, so it doesn't despawn.

>>385432431
He cycled back into a human now, and it seems prolonged jail time has, in fact, turned him into a nigger.
Also, the quality of blood has dropped, game probably doesn't keep track of the npc data long enough.

The next test is to leave him alone to see if he despawns after eventually.

>>385430989
If I could redo my entire castle it'd be more suited, but it's my first, so it's facing "visitors" from the West side of my castle, while my personal quarters are behind the throne.

>found a 100% brute in the starting area
>he got mauled by a bear before I could enthrall him
God fucking dammit

>>385430190
Thats the DLC helmet, it does nothing. I found a straw hat though from fishing.

It also does nothing. I dont think hats do anything at all.

>>385433609
Kill him immediately

>>385433979
Yeah, but how do I get my DLC helmet?

>>385433979
As it should be, everyone knows vampires do not where helmets despite the practicality of it.

Whats the core gameplay loop on this game? I've played a bunch of battlerite but I still don't get this game, especially it's pve mode. What do you even do in pve mode? I mean all I know is that you kill a bunch of bosses to get new skills and upgrades but whats the point of doing this in pve mode? Is it because its hard to get all the upgrades?

Is there a way to check how old a server is? I want to join a newer one and there are so many of those g-portal ones whatever that is.
In older servers there is 0 build space.

>>385434335
Seems a bit harsh, so instead I just reduced the size of his cell until he learns to stop being black.

On another note, there does seem to be potential in hording a army of were wolfs in a small room for emergency defense.

>Browse custom PvE servers
>Soul Shards Amount: Unique
Why are there so many servers set like this?

>>385435342
It's a survival/basebuilding game with Battlerite style gameplay for PvP and PvE against bosses, so you defeat bosses to unlock abilities and further things to build, so you go from crappy bone weapons to Copper to Iron and so on

Man V rising if made into an MMO would have been great. The Challenge of building a castle amidst a shit ton of players alone is peak comfy.

Is it me or do I break stones faster with the spear?

>>385443690
Whatever the bonuses are I feel like once both skills come into play Reapers harvest everything faster than other weapon types, Axes can be good too when you can throw the E through a lot of stuff

>>385443672
V is an MMO

>>385434785
You craft it, go into your crafting tab (not your crafting bench)

>>385435838
Just go into it and see what day it is, servers running from launch are at about 500-600 days old now. g-portal are official ones so they're all old.

Holy shit killing Tristan the vampire hunter is great. No more worrying about farming unsullied hearts I can spend all this shit blood essence.

Think they'd think about a corruption mechanic? Basically corrupting villages and getting your servants to go kidnap people or get into powerful positions and corrupt the town. Abductions etc. Exortion.

PVE server
Remove teleport restriction so you can teleport with items
Makes the game much more enjoyable. Fuck that stupid mechanic Valheim had.

>>385450210
If you're on a PvE server, go place your base down the bottom right of the map

Two different caves lead there from the two endgame zones so you can just teleport in, get what you want, and teleport right back to your base

>>385450435
I put a base here but it was a shit location because I ran out of build space too cramped.

>>385450727
So pick one of the many giant mountains nearby

>>385451570
Naw went here instead on someone's advice. Great for fucking with humans.

>>385448286
What are the reapers?
Have you remapped keys?
I feel that R is ass. You move with WD in combat and you can't press R without releasing D.

>>385448286
What bonuses? I heard others talk about harvesting bonuses.
I counted the rocks. There is always 5-9more when I break with the spear.

>>385450210
TODAY fren you teleport with items. Game is absolute based today.

I think I will restart the whole thing (lvl 30 now) to single player.
It ruins my immersion when we have 10 mega castles in the area. I don't feel threatened by the humans with all these vampire raping and pillaging.

>okay now just grind in dunley and maybe you'll get better recipes after 5 hours or so

>>385462819
The recipe system definitely needs overhauling the RNG is bullshit

>>385461872
And then a human hits you with a fire arrow and you take a third of your HP.

>>385463061
>>385462819
You will get a merciless recipe by the time you clear all the bosses in the first zone, any weapon can break iron so its not really that bad

>>385465073
It's not so much that I have a problem with needing a merciless copper weapon to get iron, just the random nature of recipes in general.
For example the last two recipes in the scroll tier that I unlocked were tailor floor and merciless iron reaper which were essentially the two recipes I wanted the most.

>>385465073
I have one single merciless hollowfang recipe. I've grinded in the spot that everyone on Google says to grind in, and I've gotten like 5 recipes for shit like Unique Gothic Dark Refined Candlestick.

How would you guys feel if they added playable vampire hunters down the line? They have a pretty cool looking potential power set and it might be fun to have a bigger faction wars.

>>385465629
I'd prefer they diversify the vampire playstyles. I want to be a big stompy boy in heavy armour but that's pretty much not possible the way damage scales

>>385433609
So the one I locked in a small room is still there in case any anons want to do that.

Also the werewolf worker did'nt get anything special for transforming, nor does he transform anymore.

>>385466412
Werewolf workers are just for getting the extra rewards for cursed forest missions I expect

Any more special weapon like the general's scythe? I wouldn't mind getting slasher that up magic damage as well.

>>385467457
I've been wondering this as well but so far I haven't seen one. Was hoping the big paladins might drop a recipe for a special mace but no such luck it seems

Hunts take 24 hours with servants? Wtf what kind of amount of shit can you get?

>>385468610
You can change the time taken with the slider bar

How is this game? Does it have a future of lasting more than 3 months?

>>385469742
Only if they add another map/sections to the game. if it stays like this it will get boring

>>385470057
ill just wait then

Man it's weird how little documentation there is out there for this game yet. Still no real idea which zones have which fish, how many unique weapons there are and where to find them
Not even really a proper wiki

>>385474647
I like it like this, people can't how2game it yet and know everything.

>>385474647
Gee anon, its almost like the game barely came out a week ago and are playing and learning

Also, fuck you, you're a part of why modern gaming is shit.

>>385475048
I just wanna know where sage fish are I've fished all over and not found any except in a chest once

>>385475092
Bitch I've killed fucking Solarus and played it completely blind. Now that I'm going back and doing some of the shit that I skipped like keeping prisoners I just want to know the best places to find certain fish

>>385474647
Yeah it's a nice change.

>>385465073
I keep getting the leggings recipe. It's really annoying.

im stuck at 32 on new server i forgot where to get ring upgrades, i got full merc nightstalker armor and merc night wep

where are ring recipes?

>started day 1
>found a fantastic server to play on
>got a great base spot, central and 2 giant copper ore nodes I can harvest daily for 1-1.5k copper
>server is now one of the lowest in player counts
God dammit. Do I bite the bullet and abandon the server or do I keep going on a dying server.

>no server start date/wipe date info in server browser
>can't find a single server that isn't full max gear or a spot with more than 10 tiles to build on
shits annoying

>>385483873
Spooky

>>385480680
I think I got all mine from research gacha

>>385483873
spooky

They should make characters playable cross server, like Valheim.

>>385448720
>Just go into it and see what day it is, servers running from launch are at about 500-600 days old now. g-portal are official ones so they're all old.
So all of the official servers have pretty much no build space left then?
Damn, guess I am late for the party if there are no wipes/new ones coming out.

Why has no one made a /vg/ server?

>>385484456
i came to /vg/ to play on a /vg/ server, yet there is none, weird stuff desu

>>385484417
There's plenty of private servers with default settings that are popping up, play on those instead
Usually there's better pvp communities there anyway, if that's what your looking for

I really hope modders crack this game wide open. There are so many different ways I'd like to see it go but the devs are only going to do one of them.

>>385486541
These servers are much more likely to shut down randomly without warning in the middle of you progressing through the game, though.
So I was looking for an official one. But obviously they are way too saturated with buildings.

>>385490530
like what

>>385492750
only if you dont know how to read and choose them well

>>385493128
Honestly a skill tree would be nice.
That and more extreme equipment, I want more play styles.

So because my regular copper mace was not hitting iron ore rocks and I didn't have the recipe for the merciless one I went home and got some explosives. I place the explosives in the middle of three iron ore rocks and swing at it with my merc copper sword to set it off. Turns out the sword can mine iron and the explosives can't.

Well at least I don't have to grind until the merc mace recipe drops.

>>385495449
All weapons can harvest resources, you just get them faster if you use the one that gets the bonus damage

Should I build my second castle in silverlight hills or the cursed forest?

>>385495629
I built my second one in silverlight so I could grind schematics easier. Ended up just using minions for the cursed forest resources

It seems the pirated version doesn't work? Gets stuck on loading after you start a new game.

>>385483873
I would fucking love for this to be a player ultimate, maybe on a super long cooldown though.

>>385493214
What are some good indicators?

has 4chan taken over an official server yet?

>>385492750
For now. Its week 1 anon and over 150k daily players.

A basic base loaded with blood will only last 5 days. So pick a server that is loaded with people, explore the map (to see where bases are) on a horse and wait. Something will pop and you can then take it.

Also the later zones are far emptier than the early ones.

Anyone found any giant copper or iron deposits? I found 2 giant copper next to each in the middle of the map on an island but otherwise nothing.

>>385500313
I've only found a couple giant copper and that's pretty much it. Seems honestly like a kind of pointless mechanic since getting copper is so easy

>>385501296
Its useful to have them inside your base. It means you never have to mine it since they give thousands.

Found the online interactive map, theres only a few bases with them it turns out.

>>385500313
They're usually on high ground. Copper is not uncommon but I'd imagine most of them are blocked off by players' castles.

>>385501642
If there was a scourgestone one I might be interested

>>385501793
More uniques like that would have been cool, if every mountain had something special.

I think the devs underestimated how many basis would get littered on every map. They should have made it so clans can only have 1 base.

>>385500137
>Something will pop and you can then take it.
What does that mean? I know castles can start decaying w/o blood but once that starts happening do all the structures collapse or smth?

>>385503263
The entire castle starts taking damage over time until it's destroyed

Someone make a full loot /vg/ server

>>385481013
Id start playing on another server and just see if the lower player count one increases.

>>385503263
>>385500137
a bloodless castle will display as such on the minimap, at that point it's considered 'breached' and you can just punch through the walls
interacting with a drained castle heart owned by another player gives you the option to instantly mass-delete their entire base no questions asked, whole thing gone

Is there a point in playing solos in a duo server? Is 2v1ing even possible?

>>385223860 (OP)
Do you get anything special for eating a vampire player? A buff? Power? Anything?

>>385504561
Not as far as I'm aware. But the entire PvE is stealing vampire powers from people with Dracula blood in them

Can I be a good vegan vampire? Can I only eat aminals?

>>385504790
Apart from bosses, yes

>>385490530
The game uses il2cpp making modding a chore and requiring real reverse engineering skills.

What's the difference between a blue castle and a red one?

>>385499714
Look for servers that are rrun by 'gamer' communities, already have a lot of people and ideally a fresh server, this isnt a game where you want to start late

>>385485892
Theres 2 /vg/ servers in this thread

what level i need to mine copper ? i level 20 but cant hit the rock

>>385514259
You have to upgrade your bone tools at the workstation

>>385425543
It's not pixel art. Are you blind?

finna start a NA solo full loot pvp server with 2 hour raid windows (8-10EST)

>>385516208
what about 24/7 raiding but buildings have 2x health and servant limit is double

>>385429613
>EU server
yikes

>>385516208
That'd give us a third server. I can reduce the existing 4 man clan default to solo only if desired. It's also NA

the game world feels really shitty when you realize there's no "real" verticality and literally every building is just a one-story shed
>real verticality
try standing in front of a "ramp" and shooting a projectile at it, the bullet will curve like a cartoon rocket up/down the slope. everything in the game is just a flat plane
>b-but early access
i don't think they'll ever add it either, it'd be a total engine overhaul because they'd have to rework the entire game world alongside it.
so many NPC encampments and "fortresses" that are just flat open-door cucksheds instead of actual structures

listen i'm just mad that i can't have a big fucking spiral staircase tower
thanks for reading my blog

General seems dead as fuck but I'm interested in this game since combat looks similar to Battlerite. How good is the actual PVP? The PVE content looks alright from what I've seen.

>>385523567
>How good is the actual PVP?
unless you find the unicorn that is a true longterm active-playerbase "solo pvp" server, your average encounter is over in seconds because four dudes just snuck up and pulled the chair out from under you. it's a massively unbalanced numbers-always-win gankfest

>>385524142
I see, how is group combat like 4v4 then? Is it just one-shot wars or are there roles/builds that provide a bit of balance?

>>385524826
Group combat is fun, that anon is just mad that he doesn't have friends to play with. Weapons are all just different flavors of damage and CC, your spell selection is where you mostly define your role.

>>385483821
It is really annoying, best bet is to go on their discord and keep an eye out for new private servers launching with settings you like

anyone up to make a 4 man group for an EU server? dont have friends haha

>>385524142
Back to Conan it is then. You can actually outplay multiple people in PvP in that game.

>there are servers popping up with 75+ player limits
>40 player limit servers run out of spots to build in a couple days
lol
lmao

>>385524142
>>385528916
Yaeh, outplaying people in 1v4 is not gonna happen in this.
1v2 is very doable, that said im only in my 60s but on this fresh duo server i have won several fights 1v2 and come out on top in clashes with multiple groups brawling too

I don't know what the answer is to this, I really love conan and the way you can outplay people in that, I don't know what they could do in this to fix it... I think there needs to be some better healing, because 1v3/1v4 you just cant sustain and as soon as you try to disengage you are gonna get run down because its much easier to chase people than escape.

>map is filled with castles
>cannot even put a castle in the starter area or even in the intermediate areas

fun

>>385530793
40 people servers are a mistake.

>>385529095
I mean isn't the point to group up into clans and alliances so you don't have to have a million castles everywhere?

>>385531151
The real mistake is letting people build multiple bases. The map just isn't big enough. Right now a 4 player clan can have 8 bases. At the very least it should be 1 castle heart per player, but I really think it should be 1 or 2 per clan.
>>385532237
It's advantageous to split your loot between multiple bases.

>>385530793
>>385531151
>>385532237
the problem is allowing 4 castles for each 4 man squad

you only need 2 at the most to def the largest spots
i wonder what the designers intents with this were, obviously if you are doing pve with your friends and you each have your own big castle in seperate areas, thats cool, but it doesnt work for pvp
I think a good solution would be to have it as 1 castle per clan, let you move your castle heart around inside the castle and allow for building outposts of some kind, maybe 1 outpost per person, capped at like 80 or so squares, so they will always be vunerable to attack but you can set them up as FoB's and such

an issue rn is that you can get blocked in easily by others, so you cant place your initial heart far back in a cliffside without risking someone coming up and blocking the stairs, which if you are not ready for, but they are, you can be totally blocked in with no way to get back up with materials and such if you leave

i really like the building system though, i love how easy it is to move everything around inside the base

What is with the "not full loot" merciless servers? I guess you get the merciless tag by allowing hearts to be captured/destroyed. Why the fuck would you allow full base destruction but not full loot in the world? Who would be ok with having their base destroyed/captured, but not losing their gear on death?

are there any duo /vg/ servers? Only one of my friends is interested in playing this but we don't want to constantly lose 2v4

>>385534001
im seeing new servers pop up every day

id suggest just joining any duo one that looks good and not too old, to get a feel for the game, but keep watching the server list for newly launched ones

>>385532891
>>385528916
Another issue is that the game map is just way smaller than conan, especially with the horses you can cover the whole map in minutes.

where the fuck do i farm scourgestones

>>385537924
Yeah it needs to be much bigger, especially with the lack of verticality.

How is the new update in regards to solo play? I was holding off on playing this they added this do you just play on the client offline with no server backup or some shit?

>>385528916
What are you smoking you cannot 1vX in Conan at all

What's the difference between regular pvp and full loot? Is it worth playing this game pvp outside of a private server or is it a fiesta?

>>385553429
Playing solo/pve is great. Comfy castle building and boss hunting. The combat is enough for $20.

PvP normal loot is you drop your inventory but not armor/rings/weapons. Full loot, you drop that stuff as well. Do not recommend full loot thats a completely unfair gankfest.

>>385552619
Maybe you can't

>>385554439
>Do not recommend full loot thats a completely unfair gankfest.
Pussy

>>385545130
The only way I'd even consider playing this single player is if they added AI castle invasions.

>>385555992
the stakes are higher for full loot, but the stakes ultimately mean more time invested into grinding resources, and then ironically less time actually engaging with pvp elements

>>385516327
2x health on building wont matter for shit the Golem is way to broken it can literally destroy you entire castle no matter how many doors you have

>>385556195
how so? i found it the opposite if you find a full loot server that is 70+ pop it's literally just pvp until someone comes out on top and the other team goes broke. bearly any grind just pvp at the hotspots like copper/iron mine

>try a non-official server, this one at 25 pop seems nice
>play all night
>next day theres only 3 people
Feel like I mindgamed myself.

>>385555992
Why is it always pvp full loot players that are the most insecure playerbase in a game

Is the inevitable death of your servers and waste of your time knowing everyone will abandon it soon

should I make Amethyst or Sapphire pendant if I'm focusing on magic damage? Crit chance is obviously better than crit damage right now but the higher spell power on the crit damage one is tempting

IP: 173.237.70.12:28600 (Query Port: 28615, Rcon Port: 28616)
Password: aco

Been sort of waiting for this to take off and waiting for /vg/ to get on with it. This is a server attached to an /aco/ discord, but I'm more than willing to open it up to /vg/.

Only rules that are different from vanilla is PVP enabled, no loot outside of clans, extra bases and servants, and sieges on decaying bases available.

>>385557839
Oh right and teleporting with items but thats a given. Feel free to pop in, build anywhere, and gank shit. Just dont expect any loot from killing people. I like the games PVP but I understand the annoyance if full drop and item drop in survivalcraft games so its disabled.

How easy is it to turn a pve server to a pvp one?
Or alternitivly, is there anyway to have pvp on a pve server, in the form of duels or somthing? I'm thinking of launching a server for a small community, and I don't want it to be a 100% pvp focused server.

>>385557441
>insecure
what do you mean insecure? you think I have low self-esteem because I like high risk pvp? lol

>>385557839
>Only rules that are different from vanilla is PVP enabled, no loot outside of clans, extra bases and servants, and sieges on decaying bases available
>Oh right and teleporting with items but thats a given.
congrats, you've made the worst server

>>385557839
God damn my dude, that sounds awufl.

>>385557839
impressively terrible rulesets, nice work anon

>>385557839
that couldnt be less appealing

How fast can duo's get golem raids up and going, and just how deadly are they?
Do walls and gates have the same hp?

>>385523567
To counter the other reply, I've been playing on a server where most everyone is solo and other than major level differences, pvp has been fun and exhilarating. You can turn into a rat to sneak up on players or you can run away from someone by using a horse.

Do higher teir weps yeild more from trees/stones/nodes or do they all give the same?

Wonder if it's just better to carry around cheaper tools when I can when farming lower teir stuff

>>385569069
A tip when being hunted or chased by a stronger player who is on a horse, if you are dismounted don't try run, hit them asap then take their horse while they are dazed from falling off

HERE'S AN OLD TRICK

>>385567964
I heard that doors and walls are basically just a formality. Golems can clear everything if unopposed.

For those that have been grinding 24/7, any burnout yet?

>>385585983
Yeah a bit. Only because fishing is fucking terrible though

>>385585983
I haven't really felt it being grindy until now which is that I am underlevel to take down the second major boss to progress into dark metal stuff and now I have to grind out some better gear to get my item level up to his.

I think its also lost its appeal, at least on the PvE front. Im not overly interested in the PvP because one golem and a key can obliterate your entire base overnight which would be insanely frustrating. And in solo/coop I think the game would be pretty fun as a relaxed comfy game but you'll power through the content so quickly.

I think they probably fucked up doing Rust style PvP, and instead should have ditched PvE/PvP and done something like Runescape/EvE has, with PvP open areas. It works for Rust having bases you can destroy because making a base takes 0 time and is easily defend-able. But in this you spend literally tens of hours even without competition getting through copper and iron only to wake up one morning and lose it all.

>>385587825
You can get to iron in less than 2 hrs tho

Damn Tristan is Hard

What is the best way to start over with your castle? I picked a terrible place early game and have run out of room way too early

>>385591169
Tear it down and put a new one somewhere else?

>>385591169
ya

>>385591221
>>385591243
whoops responded to myself

>>385223860 (OP)
what world settings do you rec for me and my friend to try on our first playthrough?

Should we max out all the resource shit?

are the bosses really that hard in the higher levels? See a lot of players asking for help in chat.

>>385596139
Behemoth is bullshit but that's the only one I've had real troubles with

>>385590130
Wait until you get to Frostmaw. That fucker is impossible on a server with just slight lag.

>>385593524
Leave everything as it is, except turn on teleporting while carrying items and remove base decay.

Turning up resource gain will murder some areas of the game, where you're supposed to struggle and fight to get items.

>>385589865
That is a complete lie and you know it. Between needing explosives or bear mode just getting into the bandit base is 5 hours or more depending on your luck. Then getting to iron and making it will take you a while too.

Can you not connect buildings between stairs so that its all one multilevel castle?

>Playing solo/PvE

>>385601839
>Every base is some sort of clown world castle of nightmares
Is there any way to avoid this if your game allows base raiding?

>>385601678
Nope, stairs are always 'outside'.

>>385601957
That's kinda gay

>>385601932
Not without the developers designing around it. You could split doors/walls into security and cosmetic ones and then make it so security doors/walls always had the same HP. i.e. a base with 1 security door would have 10k hp on the door and a base with security 10 doors would have 1k hp per door. That way building a honeycomb wouldn't be worth it because 1 door is the same as 10.

Maybe thats retarded tho I dont know all I know is the PvP will suffer the same fate as all these games, big groups will make near impossible to destroy mazes and raid with immunity against everyone else.

>>385593524
2x harvesting resources at minimum, grinding trees for 2 hours to build 3 walls and half a bookshelf is for gay fags
teleport with items enabled, removed tedium

>>385593524
>>385608764
2x is good for 2 players, anymore and it'll be pretty boring since you'll blast through the game, the game's stone/lumber/ore grindfest seems ideally balanced around 4 people clans so having less people means you need to up the droprate

>>385609097
>1-2 people is the most common type of player
>devs balance around 4
I wish devs would stop doing this

>Your the trash, and I'm the shovel!

>>385601678
Cna people summon golums on stairs?

>>385608764
I don't mind increased nrates on gathering, but teleporting with items is dumb, since everyone can have a 2 teleports and there are already enough scattered around the world, you'd hardly ever run across people while running home.

>>385611071
>you'd hardly ever run across people while running home
If it's just a server for anon and his friend why does that matter

>>385223916
the i havnt unlocked the t3 stuff yet, are there some better decorations in there?

Is the game fun solo? I've no interest in multiplayer I just want to vampire LARP

redpill me on this game..
loaded my steam wallet to pull the trigger but wanna hear your opinion..
is it like diablo? wtf is it?

>>385617657
Yee I'm enjoying it solo. Its got a bit of a Valheim level resource grind to it though. But you can play it pretty casually.
>>385618086
Its a Valheim-like survival crafting game where progression is locked behind defeating bosses and gathering resources.
Theres open world with base building, you can kidnap humans and make them thralls, raise undead, and other shenanigans.

>>385618302
How much of a monster can you be towards humans?

>>385618623
You can keep them in cages and feed them rats while draining their blood

>>385601443

Too busy playing the game and OP is also a retard that didn't check the catalog before making the thread

>>385623805
What marketing?

experiencing some burnout with dark silver requiring mass scourgestones, what are you grindan anons

>>385624295
You thankfully don't actually end up needing that much dark silver unless you want every single weapon

/NPC/, you all ate up the marketing so completely...

The server host randomly decided to permanently shut down the server I was on
4 days of progress just gone like that
I want to die in a fire holy shit

>>385624751
Im playing on my own solo server and having a blast 2bh 20+ hrs in now and pure comfy

Which boss drops merciless iron recipes? Iv hit a wall here and would be fucked if I didn't get that scythe from the undead guy

Where should I head for the next weapon upgrades? I'm 58 currently. I could keep farming the ice beast guy for the last 2 merciless armor pieces I need

>>385624943
Aren't the drops random?

>>385624943
Merciless weapons are random, unlocked through the second tier research table.
That said the reaper from the undead commander is a complete upgrade from the merciless iron reaper

robots pretending to be vampires. at least they are both soulless?

>>385625268
what?

>>385625367
He's just shitposting, leave him be

>>385625367
the joke was meant for the people laughing at you

>>385625167
>>385625091
I was sure some bosses had loot tables more specific at least for the lower teir ones I guess I'm wrong then

I'm stuck atm because my iron mace can't mine silver and I haven't been lucky enough to get the recipe yet
I guess I just need a keep farming scrolls

>>385625734
Just mine the silver with your sycthe then.

>>385625779
I'm dumb I didn't even consider this

>>385624751
>host randomly decided to permanently shut down
the worst part of this is that you can't "speedrun progression" either, you're absolutely spending hours just holding down M1 on rocks and trees no matter how efficiently you try to restart

clunk clunk HYAH
clunk clunk HHYAH
for hours. every time. no matter what.

>>385593524
If you're playing just the 2 of you in a safe space server you should leave everything vanilla and make enemies tougher so you actually have somewhat of a challenge.

>>385625996
>leave everything vanilla and make enemies tougher
genuinely griefer advice considering the entire last half of the game consists of shameless health sponges densely packed together even on vanilla

All this game has done is make me want to play Conan again. Funcom needs to release 3.0 already

>>385626123
>I'm bad at the game

>>385626245
your game was never difficult to begin with if your idea of challenge consists of lazy %hp scaling

>>385626309
You can increase their damage and their health separately, friendo

>>385626725
I genuinely don't know why you would increase their damage. Light weavers and fire is already fucking annoying to deal with.

>>385626725
>can't increase enemy density
>can't lower enemy cooldowns

Or just smash up ruins. People keep ignoring that shit and its 4x more rocks than actual rocks.

>>385627980
What does tencent have to do with this? Do they own Stunlock or something?

>>385628217
Not him but Tencent own 5% of their shares

This means by /v/ logic they own a company outright. Because thats how shares works clearly.

>>385628217
some will tell you that 84% majority shareholding doesn't mean company ownership
it doesn't really reflect on the game as there's no current predatory DLC practices, but it's why it had such a disproportionate burst of advertising presence in the first week due to having effectively infinite marketing budget

why do people cry about tencent owning Western companies? on what planet is that worse than just about any fagged up Western publisher? i bet tencent doesn't have diversity requirements for their studios/games.

>>385628874
>why are people mad about their favorite franchises being turned into chinese lootbox wage sims with high turnover/abandonment rate?

>>385629039
First of all this game doesn't have lootboxes. Second of all, Western publishers also love lootbox wage sims. They also love to shit up their games with fags and blacks.

>>385629171
>this game doesn't have lootboxes
and i'm very grateful it does not, anon, but that is the general premise for why people distrust tencent as a monopoly

>>385629171
And actually, it's not even true that Tencent forces these practices on studios they invest in. Tencent owns 80% of Grinding Gear Games, but POE kept the same monetization model it always had. Tencent owns Funcom outright and there are no lootboxes in Conan Exiles. I haven't played LoL in 10 years, but I'm guessing Tencent didn't force worse monetization on Riot either.

>>385629414
In fact, Funcom has only improved since Tencent took over. They put more work into Conan and released a ton of bugfix patches and the biggest update in the game's history is on the horizon.

>>385555862
Winning 1vX in any game requires the X side to be fucking braindead or the single player an absolute god, or vastly stronger in terms of gear/level whatever progression system the game has

>>385629414
path of exile is somewhat of an outlier even if they have demonstrably provable lootboxes (even if only cosmetic) that prey on gambling addictions - chris wilson's sheer autism for the game as a project would make him go absolutely nuclear if it ever went off rails from his vision
he is in fact so powerful that he's actually curbing the lootbox gambling into less abusive models over time, god bless him and his beautiful bald fucking head

>>385630215
No, there certainly needs to be a skill difference but in this game, with limited skills available if you avoid enough of theirs and land enough of yours, you can pull it off often enough. If you are good.

>>385630215
>>385631498
i'm gonna let you in on the funny meta secret that's been in the game since beta
you can basically oneshot someone similar-level with sword+axe combo,
knock them up with the sword E, quickswap to axes and E to throw them slightly behind the knockup point
due to the "delayed cooldown" on sword's hit-confirmed shockwave, you can combo it with a few different things like this but axes are best since it also stuns them into any followup you want to burst them with

>>385631498
I think it's more about the X being bad than the 1 being good.

I wonder how hard chaos volley is gonna get nerfed. Guess by 35-40% at least.

Gonna do our first raid on a full loot pvp server. Full loot does really capture the peak adventure vibes.

I wish I could mess with cool down rates, I want to decrease cool down by 30-40% but up enemy damage to make up for it, sounds like it would be fun that way.

please stop being fotm robots

>>385635473
Do you honestly have nothing better to do?

>>385633947
It does have ridiculous damage compared to other projectiles. If they want to keep that damage, they need to give it a bigger drawback. Like, make it apply chaos burn to yourself. Or at least make it so that you have to be completely stationary while casting. Or something.

>>385636327

If you aren't running on an open field against a single target, it feels terrible.

Both rat and human form seem completely useless against npcs. Pretty much anything seems to detect you anyway.

>>385642148
meanwhile bear form has exactly 1(one) single gimmick use in the entire playthrough to break the bandit king's door and only if you're too lazy to craft explosives

>>385642449
Excuse you, I used bear form to heal up slightly faster once since I didn't have any potions and didn't want to waste blood

>>385642449
It has buffed resistances, so you can use it to haul silver pretty well. It also has faster healing and it's not that much slower than the wolf, so if you need to heal you might as well travel in it.

>>385642148
Human doesn't seem to get detected by normal NPCs, but since you move out of the form when looting containers it's pretty worthless anyway

>>385642449

It makes garlic debuff expire twice as fast, so its actually pretty usefull

>>385642449
What's a good way to solo the bear?
I tried a server that has increased boss damage and the bear was just fucking impossible because he's way faster than your movement speed

>>385645080
get the blood aegis spell from armorer to soak up the rock damage, save dash for when he charges at you, run circles around the arena throwing spells at it
bear is one of a few fights in the game that just shits AOE damage all over the arena, all of them have the same solve method of using blood aegis to prevent being worn down by it

Having trouble with the spider boss at level 59
I just get overwhelmed with the poison spray, what skills did you anons use to solo it?

>>385264535
You're locked in because you will always be a pussy.

already noticing a trend of this game's pvp servers having 3-day lifespans
everyone's forever trapped in the rat race of punching trees, getting ganked in the copper mine and ragequitting for "new fresh" because someone put a castle on the shitty hill that they wanted
patching in offline functionality made the turn-over rate even worse now that people aren't locked in a cage with eachother by necessity, a few servers i noted with 40 active players a few days ago have dwindled down to ~5 players during active raid hour windows

i don't understand how this type of thing is sustainable in a game that wants to also have a grindy, functional endgame crafting economy

>>385653525
That's why you avoid official servers

>>385516208
Ok so I'm actually going to start this server. 25 player cap (40 is too much for the tiny map), solo PvP, full loot, 8-11EST raid window, 2 hearts per player so everyone can have a satellite base. Any suggestions?

>>385655709
suggestions for what, base locations?

>>385655709
>satellite bases
not what people are using it for. they use the first heart to make a giant autism honeycomb wall in front of their second one. limit it to two and take the L on siege golems being a retarded mechanic until they give you the option to disable them

lower servant mission time to reasonable values and adjust any other garbage timepadding mechanics, these servers don't have the longevity to support massive timegates

2x resource on solo servers is worth consideration, basebuilding even with two people on vanilla takes quite awhile of just autoclicking trees and rocks just so you can stick it in an oven and wait an hour for the resources to process
tl;dr consider any and all options that lead to people actually playing the game instead of sitting inside a walled safezone waiting for timers to go down

>>385657208
>>385655709
>limit it to two and take the L
limit to one* oops

Grinding for the premium nightstalker armour to beat up the iron recipe big guy.

is there a full loot /vg/ server yet??

>>385657208
My initial thought was to limit it to 1 heart per player, but with a 25 concurrent player limit 2 hearts seems more reasonable as the map will not be so spammed with bases. If people want to use their 2nd heart to add more base defense against OP golems what's the big deal?

>>385663446
I could always make a server rule that your 2 bases can't be connected if it really is a big issue.

>>385663446
>>385663596
Actually, you know what, ok. 1 heart per player. Let's see how that plays out and maybe down the line we'll add another heart.

>>385664002
your settings sound fine. AFAIC the game is still fresh so people haven't fully grasped what settings do and don't work. These things can be ironed out over time with each reset. People can either learn to embrace the imperfection or host their own

lol uh full loot PvP originates in online RPGs dummy

>>385669405
>full loot
Lol, no. There are many reasons by default its not full loot.

>>385679098
Well there's already a /vg/ server without full loot if you prefer that

>>385679098
And what do you think those reasons are? It isn't any harder to get gear than other survival games. I think they're just trying to cater to a more casual audience by making it optional.

>>385680884
You have to be insane to think its easier to gear up and produce multiple weapons in V rising. Or a no lifer grinding endlessly, weapons are insanely expensive and losing them is going to put you back hours. It also forces everyone to take one weapon out rather than a range of weapons so every will only use the Scythe because it deals 25% more damage than anything else, cementing a boring meta.

>>385680884
>it isnt harder to get gear than other survival games
Lol. Get beyond iron. Barely any servers are running full loot because its not the balanced mode, only normal PvP is.

>>385681286
>higher tier materials are more scarce
whoa. it's just like every other survival game.

>>385681112
Server owner here. That can be compensated for by increasing rates. I admit I only got to iron on other servers. If what you're saying ends up being true and players want it I can increase the rates or decrease crafting costs later. Also, the game just came out in EA. There will be adjustments to this stuff by the devs.

>>385681112
The scythe bonus damage works against other players? I guess it makes sense since vamps are Undead
But the Scythe E seems pretty shit in PvP compared to others like Axes, Maces, Swords

Is there stealth?

I want to redo my castle but feel like it is a waste of time until I have endgame gear anyways. I'm just progressing to iron but not sure how much more there is, any thoughts without spoilers?

>>385683939
no

>>385683939
No stealth elements. There are a couple of abilities that give temporary invisibility, think thief from GW2.

Someone told me that servants can die while on a hunt? I've never had that happen. Sometimes they get injured, but that's all. What's the chance of them dying?

Am I missing anything by playing offline?

Tempted to pirate it to see how it is but obviously cna't do online shit

>>385686813
>Am I missing anything by playing offline?
Everything. I don't see how this game isn't boring af without pvp.

>>385673008
>lol uh full loot PvP originates in online RPGs dummy
And it hasn't been like that for 30 years with reasons...
My point is, the game is a survival by definition sure but there is such a big emphasis on RPG compared to other games. To the point full loot just feel out of place. Also gear is annoying af to craft and the upgrading make things worst when loosing it.
>>385680365
>Well there's already a /vg/ server without full loot if you prefer that
There isn't. It's some clique thread server not a real /vg/ server.

>Strongest servant
>Sexiest NPC
Nice

What's a good number of sawmills/grinders etc to have for a solo player? One of each is far too slow.

>>385691823
I've got two but mostly use one. Just go out scavenging you're not supposed to wait for it. Multiple furnaces is a must however.

>>385691352
>And it hasn't been like that for 30 years with reasons...
This is wrong, but what reasons?
>My point is, the game is a survival by definition sure but there is such a big emphasis on RPG compared to other games.
This game is basically a top down Conan Exiles with Vampires. There's nothing particularly RPG about it. You don't even have stats, just gear level.

>>385692358
The more complex and long a RPG is the less that mechanic is welcome imo. Can't think of a recent game like that but haven't playd much survivals (only shooter ones).
As long as you progress a fictional character that's a RPG... Which is the case, your character isn't even deleted on death.
Anyway it's just the fact V Rising tries to casualize survival and the middle ground ends up a matter of preferences.

>>385695283
>The more complex and long a RPG is the less that mechanic is welcome imo. As long as you progress a fictional character that's a RPG... Which is the case, your character isn't even deleted on death.
You just described Conan, Ark and Rust
>Anyway it's just the fact V Rising tries to casualize survival
Yeah that's what I said. That's the only reason full loot PvP is optional.

This iron recipe is really starting to be annoying. I need it for the throne but the boss that has it is too strong.
And you can't level up by grinding,you are only as good as your equipment no matter how many kills you have.

>two different castle borders have to be separated by at least 2 tiles, even if both castles are owned by the same player
My plans are ruined and so is my day.

>>385684625
>I want to redo my castle but feel like it is a waste of time until I have endgame gear anyways. I'm just progressing to iron but not sure how much more there is, any thoughts without spoilers?
I moved and rebuilt my castle twice on my way to endgame, I don't regret it. There is a tier of equipment past iron and some pretty tough bosses with really good rewards.

>>385681112
Retarded take. Iron weapons are basically free, merciless iron too even. Armour is far more difficult to craft.

Scythe is also probably the weakest weapon in the game, only good for farming npcs.

Making a pvp server, what are the best rules to modify and why?

>>385683939
Define stealth. Bushes, line of sight and different forms (going rat mode) changes when enemies detect you. But there are no stealth kills or stealth bonuses. There is also invis abilities but they're short.

>>385697261
What, are you struggling with the Bandit King? I took him out comfortably in one try kiting with merciless axes, blood rage, chaos volley, and unholy dash. Had maybe 28% brute blood so I didn't get much of a boost from that.

>>385704279
Scythe feels like it was literally designed for fucking up the Necromancer and farming mats. Slashers are the polar opposite in that they're pretty ass PVE but great PVP.

>>385706192
1 castle heart only, 30 zone tiles max, 200% loot drop, 0.1% hp for players and mobs

He says lvl 38 I think. I am 37. Usually if I go at them at same level I get rekd. I will try tomorrow then.
I couldn't even deal with Solora yet. As soon as the butterflies come up, I am gone.

>official discord
>players are requesting and arguing about the devs to change the spider design because some people have arachnophobia
>it's real
Guys.. phobias are not real. Fears are. You can face your fear in a pc game. I hope the devs are sensible and don't spend time with these trash.

>>385713267
every redditor has arachnophobia for some reason

I am interested now to see the spider boss. I am intrigued by the outrage.

>>385712960
Solora's just annoying because of her keepaway game and she heals when certain projectiles hit you. As with most bosses the best strategy is to just not get hit, an axe +shield(s) build should carry you through almost everything in tier 1 except the Necromancer, who's trivial if you come back with a Reaper once you have iron.

>>385713462

>>385706192
reduce durability loss and allow castle heart destruction

>>385713846
>>385713462
>>385713267
in their defense it's not the spider itself that does it, the design is about as inoffensive as a spider can hope to be. it's the cave full of fucking quivering egg cocoons that also have live people trapped inside them at times
the broodmother covered in baby-spewing egg sacks before you reach the boss probably doesn't help either
>TL;DR childhood trauma of running into a giant spider nest in the forest and literally being covered head to toe in hundreds of equally terrified baby spiders
i did not enjoy that cave one bit

>>385713827
I hated the death rat. "tHE CHAOS!"
I rekd him with a merciless crossbow.

>>385714774
I mean the design and voice and the fight I loved but I hated him so much for destroying me so many times.
And couldn't lure him to good areas, he backed off quickly and fully healed.

>>385713846
Very good idea and original. Not just another tarantula. A black widow is extra scary because it can kill you in minutes. Good spider design.

>>385714692
Sounds good. Better than diablo 3. But in spooky way

>>385669405

how do I keep horses once I get one? whenever I relog they just disappear

>>385722302
Walk up to them and press tab. They need water. I only found this out by accident.

>>385722515
ohh ok thanks
all the google results is garbage faggot games journo sites telling you to rush north to steal a horse like a nigger...

How do I progress into the next tier after iron?
The in-game boss guide wants me to go into a spider cave, but everything inside it are too strong, even if I take my time to slowly go deeper, the boss is way too strong for me to handle alone, and then the enemies start respawning and that's when I decided to nope out of there.
I have a unique iron weapon (has extra stats compared to the upgraded iron one) and merciless cloth armor, and I'm still having a rough time. I'm also playing solo on a private game.

Is there any way to shorten your NPCs hunt times?
I'm playing on a private game and the fact that the timer only ticks down when I'm playing makes the whole thing almost useless.

>>385722572
Yeah google is completely useless for this game. I have never seen so many automatically generated click farm spam results.

>>385725057
I would assume you can make a new world with the settings you want and then copy the ServerGameSettings.json from it to the other world you're playing (in ~\AppData\LocalLow\Stunlock Studios\VRising\Saves). I haven't tested this though.

>>385725961
There's a setting to increase the rewards up to 5x (maybe more if you edit the files), but there's no option to reduce the timer, which I prefer because waiting in-game for 2 hours is way too long.

>>385726384
Oh whoops I thought I saw that option in the rules menu. Guess not.

I really fucking wish you could see recipes you don't have unlocked in the research table/study.
Cause not knowing that the first 2 in the decorative section are Flooring is fucking annoying.
Although in truth, I'd rather they just triple the boss mob count and make more points of interest/rework some to include some boss mobs, then give all those recipes to various bosses.

What are some limitations to be aware of when raiding and also when base building?
I have been watching some videos and realised I might be vulnerable specifically to people dropping down with bats then bombing or stealing my plants then toad hopping out.

My mistake was putting my garden at the edge of my base, I realise now I should have that in an inner area opened up.

Can you carry bombs in bat form? From golems, im as safe as I guess I am gonna be with many layers blocking both sides to my rise, but I noticed to my annoyance after I set up my base in the way others suggested, having one hearth on a lower rise and another hearth at the back on a higher rise, there is a gap of unclaimablenland between them. I assumed I could make my borders touch but I cant. People can't fly in and drop golems right?

>>385728406
Yeh, I am surprised bosses don't have like, higher drop rate for some recipes
It would make sense and give more reason to farm them

But then again it would fuck over lower lvl players harder if the early bosses were being camped by lv 50+ people who need the flooring recipes or something

>>385728738
Some of them do actually.
Like Grayson the Armorer has a really high (possibly 100%) chance of dropping a random merciless copper/nightstalker recipe.

Players can't loot each others. This game would be real fun if people would just go at it without thinking twice imo. Maybe removing the durability loss would be enough BUT that would give too big of an advantage to dedicated gankers. They would have nothing to loose with an empty inventory.

how many layers can a golem go through before running out of time? assuming no interference

>>385741493
I found merciless hollowfang 2x from the yeti boss

>>385742052

hows their hp
what kind of slaves do best against them, i imagine burning aoe ones?

suggestions on first darksilver wep i go for?
i havent been lucky enough to get a recipe for one of the upgrades yet
im wondering if i should just wait, farm up the mats i need for the necklace and pants upgrade of the same teir, that i found recipies for

Apparently you can move castle hearts, I didn't know this.

What are the things you want kept away from raiders aside from the obvious of chest full of important mats
Prisons and coffins I guess right
Refining stations too, so you don't need to always hide away your shit

Crafting and research stations tho, they can go near the front of the base right
Gardens too, only takes a few days for them to grow back anyway
Mob summoning pieces can be near the front

>Manticore - 1 try
>Solarus - 3 tries
>Behemoth - double digit attempts
The hell is wrong with me that behemoth is the one that gave me the most problems. All attempted at 79 only difference was soul shard buff in order of manticore -> behemoth ->solarus. Granted I had to sell my soul to chaos volley and the ultimate version of it for the latter two and considering that i only swapped out blood counter and the blood fun laser kinda just emphasizes how weak manticore is.

Can you carry explosives in bat form

>>385723838
You should be on the opposite side of the map

>>385728420
Bats cant carry items.

Golems can break an infinite number of walls.

Long story short, if someone wants to fuck up your base they will. The only way to stop them is by being online and killing the golem but even then the moment a golem hits your base everything is fair game and they can break it with normal weapons.

Play on a solo game and enjoy it properly. If you do pvp, expect you will lose everything every day. Because there are no defences

>>385723838
You can make the next armor set just from dicking around in the forest and fishing. Ghost yarn will be the biggest hurdle there as you're at the mercy of RNG pre-spider boss but they also drop in areas with mobs that give spectral dust and scourgestones so they're great places to farm overall. Personally I'd suggest hitting the other lvl 60 boss first. If you can make a holy resist pot using the scourgestones you found while farming the armor the boss itself is a joke so it's balanced around the fact the area hurts you unless your holy resist is high enough. Once you kill him you can make the next amulet from spectral dust again from armor farming and gold chains from silverlight to the west.

>>385691823
i started out with 3 of each, and workshop room but reduced it to 2 each after i got all the walls up and didnt need the resources as quickly

as you progress to the later tiers space in your castle becomes a premium

Can't stop the rock

>>385746748

>>385743526
Yeah their balance is kinda fucked, Behemoth is WAY harder than the other two
I honestly have no idea how the retard I ganked the shard from managed to kill him, while it took me so many tries, I also had similar tries for Manticore and Solarus
Movement speed helps a good bit with dodging his AoEs, so maybe try stuff that improves that in terms of Blood/Accessory even if you lose out on damage by not going Scholar

>server I'm playing on is wiping today
Fucking faggots. I knew it was a mistake to play on unofficial servers. I hate this "wipe" shit every survival game is doing. Just gonna play singleplayer then. Hasn't even been a full week.

Man all I want is to build a comfy castle for myself and create a harem of Lightweavers.
Trying to find a solo server atm but they are all either crowded (meaning no space for castle) or absolutely dead..
Might play solo offline but that sounds boring. Does time even go by if you're not ingame (for servant mission and shit)?
Wish there was a solo pvp /vg/ server (not a fan of full loot)

>>385754906
PVP updates sound good, you have about 50 other PVE focused ARPG's to play

I have a worm phobia (I don't know what that shit is called properly) and they are absolutely disgusting in this fucking game, and the fact that they suddenly jump off the ground doesn't help at all. It's just pure stress, glad my servants can bring me the scales and free me from this nightmare.

>>385756370
you have poe, warframe and destiny 2
and all those 3 are nothing alike v rising

>>385755935
Time does not move. But you can set up a private server and have it run 24/7 you just have to run the program and leave it going on your pc.

>>385669405
>>385715583
>server is 100% dead already
oh ok

you know it's a FOTM game when people can't even hold interest in playing it for more than a day
see you guys in the next tencent shill thread i guess

>>385757728
Hm ye as expected. Can't run it 24/24 computer is in my bedroom (not very noisy but annoying enough).

Might just rent a server and drop it here idk. What do you guys think about those settings >>385741919 ?

>>385758373
Everyone is either at werk or sleeping atm. I'd be on right now if it wasn't a full loot server. USE ping is okay from EUW.

>>385758950
That server list is retarded.

Allow teleporting while holding items, increase drop rates and resource gathering 2x and remove base decay. That's all you need to make solo/coop fun.

>>385737916

Just bite the bullet and git gud. Server anon already said he'd adjust rates if full loot is too painful at endgame

>>385758373
It's 9 AM on a weekday, anon

>>385758950
those server settings are awful

>>385759256
>That server list is retarded
Are you talking about the settings or the research function?
>Allow teleporting while holding items
Ppl would cross each others less. My desire is to have a server to pvp solo without the frustration from loosing your shit.
Also it's not that necessary if you use caves.
>Increase drop rates and resource gathering 2x
Might idk. Been farming mostly solo on official and gathering rly isn't that bad with servants.
>remove base decay
But why? This would literally mean an abandoned base never disappears. Doesn't matter if you fill up your castle heart. Or I'm missing smthing idk.
>>385760393
What's wrong?

>>385760638
>pvp solo without the frustration from loosing your shit.
zoomers ruined gaming

hey full loot server anon, there's a problem with only having 1 heart per player. you can never feasibly move your base. to be able to move everything you'd need to set up the a second base first and make multiple trips to dump all your shit. can't do that with only 1 heart. i think 2 hearts are kind of necessary

>>385761000
But zoomers love battle royals and survivals ?
With player loot and durability loss ppl rarely engage unless they've got an unfair advantage.
It feels like griefing to gank someone. You just want to flee if your inventory is full of stuff.
Overall less fights.

>>385761618
Shit, that's a good point. I was originally thinking 2 hearts anyway. Are you trying to move a base right now? I can change it and restart the server.

>>385762332
someone else is

>>385762332
>>385761618
yeah you have to 100% teardown a base manually, funny enough i can't get anyone interested in coming into my decayed castle to detonate it and take all the free shit left behind either

would be about an hour of dismantling walls/pallisades otherwise

>>385762969
>>385762450
Ok. I changed it and I'm gonna restart the server.

>>385686813
You can do online shit, there are dedicated servers and you can also play with friends without dedicated, reply to this post if you want pvp server ip, I'm at 38 lvl

so you go to bed in the coffin and just wait for ages for the sun to go down? wtf?

>>385764496
Coffin doesn't really have much function, more of a cool setpiece. Slap a mist altar down or stick to the shadows until you can get a roof.

>>385764496
no you dick around sorting out your storage
later you just go about your night despite the sun
then you get cocky and get blasted to ash and then go back to cowering in your castle for a while

Anyone gonna make a PvE hard server?
My requests would be:
>Loot, servant hunt, material yield & blood essence back to 1
>Day length to 3600

>>385764496
theres plenty you can still do when the suns out
early enemy camps are a bit more difficult, since you are weaker with less abilities and also some of them have minimal cover
but once you get to the second zone and beyond, you can still fight camps when its daytime
travelling is still very easy in the sun too, just get a horse

heres a tip
get your teleport shrine up asap
then whenever you wanna go out, take the south western dunly farms tp, right to the west of that is a small farm with 3x horses
whenever i go out i usually tp there first, grab a horse then tp to wherever i wanna go, or back to base then leave on the new horse from there

protip: put servant locks on all your doors and when capturing a servant put his coffin in the room you want him to guard. then when he's converted, move the coffin to a more secure room. i'm sure there are some viable tactics that involve letting servants room through specific unlocked doors in the base, but this is definitely the simplest and most foolproof method.

Any good reasons not to use half costs instead of double resources apart from making floor matching not work on some recipes?

did i make a huge mistake
how the fuck do i get enslaved enemies from silverlight to my base in dunly
i just gapped it on my horse, i thought this 100% rogue would keep up

>>385772585
They keep up with a horse, but they can get randomly damaged by enemies, especially the archers/torchguys with fire effects fucking suck

>>385321968

Does it? I've just killed the Octavian guy, the level 58 captain and now I'm kinda stuck.
I'm geared to lvl 58 but can't plough on with the dark silver stuff without going to the silverlight hills to mine silver ore and that place is FUCKING NUTS. Mobs out the ass, heavy damage, riflemen that are crackshots, paladin dudes that rape and overall just tons of enemies. It seems like I'm way underlevelled to handle that area comfortably but without the silver I can't level up much more.
The only thing I can think is to finish the merciless fang armor set, which should boost me to 60 and give me a little boost for the set bonus, but beyond that...

Also, what the fuck is with scroll making? 9 gem dust and 3 paper for one fucking scroll when I need 75 each time? It's so much quicker just to roll into a town and farm mobs they drop like 3 scrolls everytime you kill someone. Totally unbalanced.

There better be an expansion that allows us to play as humans with human vs vampire servers.

>>385772585
They usually do. In fact, they teleport though doors and ledges
>>385779279
Rts as humans.
Crafing rpg as vampires.
A man can dream.

>>385772585

Afaik they will just teleport to you. I tried to slowly run one back to base only for the fucker to get eaten by a stray wolf on my doorstep. Next attempt I just rode the horse straight to the base and by the time I got through the door and turned around, there he was, ready for the coffin.

>>385778808
Fuck it must have got burned by one of the archers yeah

Can you heal them?

>>385778976
Don't go silver first, go farm up the armor in the swamp instead
Unless you get a dark silver wep recipe

>>385784860

Sheeeit, didn't even know there was a swamp. Okay, nice one.

>>385772585
Abuse the cave teleporters and just run to your base. They'll auto teleport once you close the door behind you. Otherwise just pray.

>>385785286
I should figure out the cave teleporters, is there a map somewhere?

you can do everything, including fighting bosses, in the daytime, it just makes it more difficult

Chaos volley doesn't need to be nerfed. It is strictly the single target damage projectile skill. Every other skill does less damage because they all offer some other form of advantage over it. Nerf chaos volley without giving it some other utility and it is useless.

>>385642449
I use the bear all the time to increase regen, travel easier in the day without mount, remove garlic faster, let me carry more silver and allow me to check scholars in dunley monastery without needing holy res pot.

>>385794628
Are you trying to make a full castle that early on? IIRC the journal quest is just to make a room with floors. Which really isn't that bad, even the "designated"/ruined castle spots if you choose to settle there have ample amounts of stone you can easily breakdown.. Just start small and expand as you go. Hell longer refining times aside you can keep a lot of your stuff outdoors since the mist brazier exists.

>blood key gives you a weird screen vignetting effect
What does it MEAAAAAN

>>385797857
yeah i was planning to convert my base to a castle all in one go because i made the mistake of settling right on a road and half the people running by try to murder me so i don't want to spend too much time building outdoors
i think i'm just gonna build a shitty 1-tile castle that counts for the quest until i get better movement speed abilities and can relocate somewhere less aids

>>385764946
Thats not hard it tedium. Lower hp but higher damage enemies would be harder

>>385806048
Yeah I meant the hard standard default setting.
The only thing I don't like about the hard settings is that it reduces yields to .75. The days in general just feel a bit on the short side for me.

Is it easy to raid in this game? How much time do I have to put in compared to rust? Seems like power creep where you will easily get out geared/abilitied if you don't put in hours to be full time and just get one shot by someone way higher level while in rust you have a chance to outgun someone

>>385806829
People think it's easy because they don't understand the power of servants for base defense. Golems do a ton of wall damage, but are easy to kill.

>>385807959
Do servants aoes hit each other?

>>385807959
>they don't understand the power of servants for base defense
sure, just sink 15+ hours into grinding 10 individual sets of lategame gear while also finding 10 lightbinder/paladins with 80% or higher blood quality
super easy foolproof plan

>>385808301
I mean that's not hard for a clan of 4. And if you're on solo/duo you don't need that many to repel raids. Also everyone thinks they NEED holy servants, but the other ones can be quite good as well. For example the fire archer shreds niggas.
>>385808220
nope

>>385808692
>Also everyone thinks they NEED holy servants, but the other ones can be quite good as well
It's also good to mix it up because if you only have holy then raiders will just max out holy resist

>>385805549
the vg server is dead because it's full loot desu very few people are autistic enough to want to deal with that

>>385809539
Server owner here. After doing some more thinking/reading, I think I need to wipe and make some changes. For one, 250 floor limit is too much with 2 castle hearts. Since everyone is solo and not consolidating together as clans that will be a lot of claimed real estate even with the 25 slot limit. I'm thinking each tier's floor limit should be halved. Ditto for servants. Solo raiding a base with maxed out servants will be practically impossible. I don't want to make these changes without wiping because it will fuck up bases already built.
Now, it does seem like endgame mats really are a major pain in the ass to get and a lot of people are complaining that full loot is too punishing at that point. So, I'm open to making it just inventory loot. But castles can still be raided, stashes looted and hearts destroyed. Also, I'd want to knock loot/gathering back down to 1x if it isn't full loot.
Thoughts?

>>385811670
Oh and I would have servant missions return 2x rewards to compensate.

>>385811670
>For one, 250 floor limit is too much with 2 castle hearts.
huh
that's incredibly generous foresight given that most people quit before even reaching iron or level 3 castle upgrade
>each tier's floor limit should be halved
why? this makes base security even less practical, considering you often have to spend your entire initial border just stretching arms between entry points to create doors
>knock loot/gathering back down to 1x if it isn't full loot.
not sure how these two are related, the gathering boost was suggested to reduce the complete tedium of gathering basic basebuilding material as a solo player and to offer a bit of relief from the chaotic nature of these servers dying/disappearing at the drop of a hat (see >>385805549 )

>>385813306
>huh
>that's incredibly generous foresight given that most people quit before even reaching iron or level 3 castle upgrade
why on earth wouldn't you design a server with longevity in mind?
>why? this makes base security even less practical, considering you often have to spend your entire initial border just stretching arms between entry points to create doors
while some honeycombing is good, it's not nearly as effective in this game as rust etc because golems make short work of walls, especially once the base is in siege mode. servants are the best base defense. also, you're only going to be raided by 1 person at a time (although I am thinking teaming could be allowed if 1 person has all the soul shards, but that's a rare exception).
>not sure how these two are related, the gathering boost was suggested to reduce the complete tedium of gathering basic basebuilding material as a solo player and to offer a bit of relief from the chaotic nature of these servers dying/disappearing at the drop of a hat
not losing your gear on death will preserve a lot of resources. although durability loss can eat some of those up so maybe you're right.

>>385814206
So I'm thinking this for castle limits:
Tier 1: 20 down from 30, 1 servant down from 3
Tier 2: 40 down from 80, 3 servants down from 5
Tier 3: 75 down from 150, 4 servants down from 7
Tier 4: 125 down from 250, 5 servants down from 9

Although I really believe this will work well, if we needed to increase limits we could do that without wiping.

>>385814206
>not losing your gear on death will preserve a lot of resources.
not the point though
nobody, not even the biggest morbius fan on the planet, wants to spend 8 hours punching tree and rock to create a basic castle that will either be deleted by another player or rugpulled by server discontinuity the next day
facilitating the basic gathering process just so you can play the rest of the game is a healthy decision

>>385814954
>40
>75
but why
everyone will end up living in shitty claustrophobic breadboxes, at best you will have a single miniature forge and workshop room with little space for anything else
no garden, no graveyard, horse squeezed into a corner, ugly rows of chests stacked together, headache storage management of having to pixel perfect place yourself to avoid opening the thing you actually wanted

it just sounds awful, i'm not sure why you want to squeeze people into shoeboxes when it's been discussed to death that siege golems make any form of build-oriented defenses borderline meaningless

Where is the highest place you can build a castle? I would like a base with lots of stairs and levels

>>385816704
>I would like a base with lots of stairs and levels
Top right of Silverlight Hills probably has the most height variability in the game.

>>385806829
V is fucked for raiding. It scales hard so people who no life will be near invincible while those who play casually are screwed. A single golem will obliterate an entire base solo. And while you could kill it, most people protect it. Also its player controlled so its much harder to kill than you think with all its abilities being one shots.

I highly recommend you avoid pvp entirely, but if you do play it only do softcore servers where you cant lose your base.

Two questions
started the game, made a clan with my friend on our pve server but seems like still each one of us has to have their own castle, is this correct?
second, is there a mod to make the game third person

>>385814954
You are better off just doing 80 spaces for all levels. Giving advantages to grinders over casuals kills off casuals, then the grinders bitch no one plays and quits too.

>>385816704
3 levels from the ground (i.e. ground, 1st, 2nd, 3rd) is the highest. Every zone has one or two. Google v rising interactive map.

>>385826457
Only for the first few quests, then you can disband your/his heart.

Nope. And likely never because thats not how isometric games work. You cant just make it third person without it breaking.

>>385814954
>Tier 3: 75 down from 150, 4 servants
let's briefly apply some autism to this,
just eyeballing tile spacing and moving shit around as close as i can in my own castle on a different server
>castle heart: 1 tile
>average free space to actually move around and separate flooring: 10~ tiles
>average mandatory tiles needed to secure ramps with a gate: 6
>minimal 6 smelters, 1 forge, 1 crafting bench, 1 anvil: 8~ tiles totally squeezed together
>waygate: 4 tiles
>garden: 5+1 tiles for ~5 patches of different types
>graveyard with 3 spawners: 3 tiles
>minimal alchemy room with 1 rat spawner, 1 bloodpress, 1 alchemy table: 6 tiles
>minimal tailor room with 2-3 loom, 2 tannery, 1 tailoring bench: 8 tiles
>workshop with 3 sawmill, 3 grinder, 1 woodwork bench: 9 tiles (could maybe be squeezed to 6 with 2/2 grind/saw)
>servant coffin cuckshed: 4 tiles
>2 prison cages for worker+fighter blood: 2 tiles
>throne cuckshed with stone coffin: 4 tiles
>jewelcraft+gem table: 3 tiles

that's 73 give-or-take, not including any storage boxes/cabinets in the count, leaving you two free tiles to play autism tetris in stacking your boxes into a shitty little vault somewhere between all of it
no free room for decoration, no possible way to "honeycomb" your base if you're paranoid, completely cramped together with geometry that servants will perpetually be getting themselves wedged and trapped into

your idea would make sense if this game wasn't limited to strict box-grid building or had some form of verticality flooring, but this concept would force every single castle into being the same unsightly, claustrophobic shitbox

>>385826914
will my friend be able to place stuff down at my base though

>>385827057
If you're in a party yes

>>385827024
You don't need all those refining stations because all crafting/refining is 2x speed

>>385827024
whoops, study/aeterium/research/paper press bench is another 5-6 tiles

Can you drink villagers blood while they are asleep at night?

If not you have utterly failed as a vampire game.

>>385826315
as much as everyone shits on pve for being boring and low stakes, i feel like there's ways to make it interesting, especially with all the tunables

that being said i haven't put much time in yet, so maybe ill get sick of it eventually. Still, there's a good amount of potential if they add more content and give more options regarding the map

>>385828151

>>385827024
Ok so I'll bump it to
T1 25/1
T2 50/3
T3 100/4
T4 150/5
And you have the option of building a second base. It's more than enough. If I'm wrong we can just increase it. I think I'll also bump the player slots to 30 and leave it there until they expand the map.
I'm gonna wipe it and relaunch in a bit. To sum up:
1.5x, inventory loot pvp, 2 hearts, 8-11EST raid window, heart destruction, 2x craft/refine speed, 2x servant mission rewards

>>385828821
Probably not to be honest. Due to how raiding works if someone wants to attack you they will destroy your walls easily no matter what you do. So why bother wasting resources or time? Just do your thing.

>>385828821
I reckon a small pretty base is less likely to be attacked imo. Something small and with lots of fancy gardens and gargoyles is less interesting than a giant sprawling base. The cost of summoning a gargoyle is huge, you want to make sure you get a fuckton back. And you can see on map which bases are 1/2/3/4 players. So if you are going to attack one, you're going to attack a 4, particularly if offline.

Not true for PvP though people will fuck you up on the road just because they can. Its hilarious how many waste hours camping even the spawning zones.

>>385830425

>>385837402
wrong nigga

so if I just want to build a big comfy vampire castle should I stick to PvE to avoid being raided and reduced to dust? Is there any configurations that allow PvE to be an interesting experience? like limited resources, harder enemies, npcs that attack your castle or something? Honestly I like PvP but I'm super autist and have already a castle layout in my mind instead of a square with layers of walls

>>385839357
You can make your own offline solo game anon. Play that. Having played PvE for a week I can tell you, you are not missing anything. If you want to play with others you will need to meet them in discord or somewhere else because no one talks or joins up in-game. So make your own server, do the default rules. And if after a few days something is too easy or too hard you can change it.

PvP is ok at best, but pretty annoying because lots of high level people are camping the starting zones killing everyone. You get 30 minutes to find a place to build a base with 99% of places occupied and then the 'joy' of never knowing when a player will jump out of a bush and kill you.

>>385839357
>already a castle layout in my mind instead of a square with layers of walls
You will not find space in any of the online servers unless its a fresh wipe on that day and you block all the ramps to the base. Play solo, most people are and enjoying the game a lot more than PvP/PvE.

>>385839357
>Honestly I like PvP but I'm super autist and have already a castle layout in my mind instead of a square with layers of walls
You should join the /vg/ server that just went up.
Walls are kinda shit in this game so you don't really have to make boxed honeycomb bases like you do in other survival games. A couple airlocks and maybe a funnel to your servant kill room and you're good. Servants are your base defense.

>>385836178

>>385840626
It's not full loot anymore. Just inventory loot. You're gonna have servants before people start raiding with golems. It literally just launched.
>>385840750
Ok but he's not wrong though.

>>385840290
Frog and Bat form are just stupid. Honeycombing is gay. My harem of lightweaver waifus will protecc me.

>>385842941
frog form is fine. it's bat form that's stupid.

>>385842941
Bat is way too overpowered for the game this early on, especially if there is some spots you can't border in your base. It feels like it should be a power creep feature in an expansion pack 2-3 years from now.

But yeah the best defence is spending your fucking resourcing before castle siege times and a ton of holy warriors with high gear score in your loot room. Can also put your vamp box and big chests at the end of your base as a decoy, people have gotten smart enough to just smash walls straight to the obvious loot room. Go hide the good loot someone else in the base, or better yet build multiple bases with a vampire box in each of em til the devs change official server rules.

Had one of the top players on my server call me and my friend out for doing this as he sieged our main base, which got him fuck all loot and we didn't even bother defending it. To be fair we are playing like scumbags but it's within the rules.

Hostile AI vampires for singleplayer chads when? Feels empty without other vamps

>>385844041
Another thing if you are on duo and you have a 3rd or 4th friend you are playing with, get one of them to keep their smallish and only castle level 2 and use as a storage unit, no one will expect it. Just try and not let anyone know he is an ally.

do full loot pvp servers only allow 1 castle heart per player?
I want to relocate but it seems I have to destroy literally everything if I want to

What do (You) want to see added/changed in the next patch?

>>385847787
bat form can't land on squares adjacent to borders

>>385847859
bat form would be better removed.

>>385847787
More like next major patch than next general patch, I want to see a rework/removal of the research system entirely.
Even if it makes the world kind of cramped, I'd rather all recipes be tied to bosses or at least a more reliable way than "gather paper, more paper, scrolls, more scrolls, etc." and having to roll the bones because getting specific recipe books is a pain in the ass and feels super inconsistent.
Overall, the research system feels disjointed from the game's natural flow.

>>385847787
Long term I'd like to see full weapons/movesets for claws/unarmed(or at least an option to skin slashers as claws) and pistols plus the expanded snow area. Short term my main gripe is patrols on the road. It's apparently not just me that got randomly ganked by other patrolling v blood carriers in the farmland while killing one boss(although I'll admit having 3 at once is rare as hell), and I found it kinda silly that whenever I attempted to fight styx I would inevitably get jumped by at 3-4 lurkers and witches patrolling the road.

map changes. I was expecting that it would be randomly generated (given that every game that inspires v rising does map gen in some form). A huge part of the survival experience for me is getting your bearings and learning how everything is laid out, and coming up with plans based on that. With a single static map it really takes the wind out of my desire to start again.

Whats going to happen (if it hasn't already) is there will be an established meta of best spots for bases / mining / etc. In general it's good to have these map imbalances, but these should be discovered anew each time. Ideally the experienced players would use their knowledge of the game to quickly identify and plan around this, but having a static map means everyone ends up going for the same things because a bunch of youtube videos tell everyone what the best thing to do is. This is on top of what already feels like a pretty uninspired and same-y feeling world

so yea, open it up for map customization. I don't want to play in the exact same world everytime

make the mace actually better at mining rocks
make the axes actually better at cutting trees
triple the duration of sword's Q so it doesn't feel like wet paper shit even at max level
make the crossbow's fire and reload separate actions, why the fuck do you run around with an unprimed weapon
quadruple every ultimate ability's spell power ratios, why the fuck do they all do complete babydick damage at all points in the game (inb4 some retard posts a vid of them nuking a level 30 enemy with gearlevel 80 and saying they're fine fuck you disingenuous bitch)

seriously, people praising the dogshit combat metrics in this game are the most shit taste liars.
almost everything is "too safely" designed, fucking piles of miniscule garbage straight out of a shitty mmo talent tree. 5% more this, 10% more that, 50% chance to eat 3/4ths a dildo for 3 seconds on tuesday type shit

cooldowns are too long, effects are just way too small.
the developer's kid-gloves approach in making everything "safe and balanced" like their shitty dead moba completely gutted the thrill out of the game

a weather system and a way to increase the blood % of your captives and servants.

oh also multi-floor castles would be incredible

>>385847787
A change to stack splitting so I don't have to fumble around repeatedly halving shit.

>>385847787
quickstack (~~compulsively count~~) to nearby chests/every fucking chest in your castle
NOW
RIGHT FUCKING NOW
WHY ISN'T THAT A BASELINE FEATURE
YOU LITERALLY COPIED EVERY OTHER SURVIVALCRAFT'S HOMEWORK
HOW DID YOU MISS BASIC FUCKING INVENTORY MANAGEMENT
IT WOULD TAKE YOU TEN MINUTES TO CODE THIS INTO THE GAME
YOU COULD DO IT IN A FUCKING AFTERNOON HOTFIX

If you do this, you better remove golems from the game or something dude
125 is hardly enough to fit all the stations you need, have you tested this yourself?

Best pvp offensive spells?
Excluding chaos volly
I'm interested in what others people use

i tried to warn him with literal grid-requirement numbers here ( >>385827024 )

but picrel is the result anyway
enjoy your hong kong apartment server, this shit fucking blows

>>385855704
frost spells in general are pretty fucking dumb since they all synergize offense and defense, it's basically impossible to catch you or escape from you if you land any hits with the dash, nova or projectile. using all three is basically cheating, the dash even gives you a scaling shield
combo it with axes for the throw and you're just shitting out stuns constantly

>>385847787
I want more simple immersion features. Some basic things like more weather with or without gameplay effects, and more vampire themes. Charming enemies to fight each other. World events, NPCs interacting more, maybe areas changing a bit over time, hell even seasons.

I think immersion is more important than another minmax PvP no-fun-allowed shitshow where every single update is just appealing to the minority who want the entire game designed around raids.

>>385855704
Really enjoy frost + sword. Thematically the sword has its two 'ice' like attacks, but they also work well with freezing people and throwing them in the air for combos.

Otherwise, being a dickhead with the spear and pulling people into AoEs you summon on yourself like the heal+explosion one.

cooldown reduction with neck and warrior blood, slasher incap into shadowbolt, then run with chaos barrier/veil of frost. merciless charge for finisher or when they try to run.

Never ran into a 1v1 where someone can counter this.

>>385856976
>shadowbolt
so many people forget to go back to this spell because they think it's a noob starter ability, 200% scaling doesn't fuck around

can anyone tell me if when raiding, if a servants coffer is destroyed does it disable that servant or will it keep fighting till it dies

also, if a servant dies in a raid is it permanently dead?

im just wondering if i need to keep coffins in a more secure spot or if they are something that can be closer to the front of hte base without worry

>>385857684
shard of the frozen crypt makes it even better

here's your totally interesting and powerful exclusive endgame items, say something nice about them

>>385859284
winged horror is good, the other 2 not so much

>>385859284
Early Access/10.

>>385859284
Negating an entire effect is pretty huge

>>385861423
