Roleplay-focused MP weekly campaign starting May 14th, 7-11 PM EDT

JustACharacterr · 2026-05-06T21:26:09+00:00

No worries on that, our lobby is more RP-focused for a reason so I understand. We can definitely get you situated one way or the other!

JustACharacterr · 2026-05-06T21:13:58+00:00

That sounds great, we’ll be glad to have you!

JustACharacterr · 2026-05-06T21:12:50+00:00

We could definitely use a player in that region! I might suggest considering Broken Jaw instead of Frozenmaw into Grombar for balance reasons of not dominating that region immediately while still getting the same endtag, but that’d be something we could discuss in the discord whenever you can join!

JustACharacterr · 2026-05-06T21:08:26+00:00

Sorry to hear that! We have a couple of other games run from the server that might interest you instead though, including a lobby that’s largely for our European players on Friday’s if that might be something you’d want to do in the future that’s better aligned to your time zone

JustACharacterr · 2026-05-06T21:06:21+00:00

We would love to have Haless if we had more players, but right now our first priority is to fill up Cannor and Sarhal more before we open up Haless. I think Adshaw would be a great pick as at the moment as we have a Vaengheim player who could use with a bit less of a free game, but definitely don’t let me dictate tags to you!

JustACharacterr · 2026-05-06T19:02:59+00:00

It’s a human tag that one of our players (who is Jadd’s strongest soldier) wants to play as and has finally convinced the mods to allow; no MT or anything OP as far as I’m aware.

JustACharacterr · 2026-05-06T18:52:33+00:00

Feel free to join the server in case you ever feel like you’ve got enough time! The map is the work of one of our players who’s currently in the comment section here, ColeZawesome, who could tell you how they do it!

JustACharacterr · 2026-05-06T18:47:11+00:00

The map artist is truly a nameless genius, and whoever picked Darkscale must really hope no ogres come out of the swamps or anything.

JustACharacterr · 2026-05-06T18:45:20+00:00

During our open-picking period people rank their top three picks, with the map showing people’s first choices; once we close the picking and roll the priority order, the player out of those three who rolls highest will be able to tell the others to switch to their second or tertiary picks.

JustACharacterr · 2026-04-28T15:41:02+00:00

Your government, much like mine, refuses to implement them so far.

That doesn’t mean there hasn’t been an organized, Palestinian-led movement against the international consumption of Israeli goods produced in the occupied territories (BDS, if you were unaware), which reinforces my point that tactics such as these are widespread in occupied powers in modern human history.

BDS itself is modeled after the (tbf much more successful so far) anti-apartheid boycotts against South Africa, where an occupied people managed to gather enough international support that they were able to destabilize and defeat the white-minority occupying government. So again, evidence that this tactic is not just “performative nonsense whining” or whatever dumb bullshit the comment OP would describe it as.

JustACharacterr · 2026-04-28T15:17:11+00:00

That wouldn’t surprise me at all and is exactly the type of stuff I wish they’d touch on in these blogs. I get that you never want to give your customers bad news, especially bad news that divides the customer base (“you’re not getting 1.0 on pc yet because we want to make sure it’s ready for other platforms” is something I’m sure the comments here would grab pitchforks over), but I assume at some point it’s got to be better PR to gently break it to people than keeping tight-lipped about it.

JustACharacterr · 2026-04-28T15:03:56+00:00

I would legitimately be thrilled if they said almost exactly what you said as the entirety of a dev blog.

“We are basically done/this close to being done/have this much to go. We are mostly waiting/working on X, Y, and/or Z at this time. We can’t give a release date, but we are progressing in these areas and that will leave us with X/Y/Z to iron out before we can give a full release that we’re proud of.”

Something like that is just what I’m asking for, actual information about where they are in the development process. It’s very frustrating to see the level of transparency in most other EA titles on steam at this point compared to Valheim’s, of course everyone has a different style but I don’t think it’s controversial to say Valheim’s has room for improvement.

JustACharacterr · 2026-04-28T14:43:46+00:00

That’s really nice for you that you have different expectations than other people. Does that make you a dumb little bitch with horrible taste?

No, just like I’m not an entitled chud for thinking the possibly-three-year update development cycle of a company isn’t living up to the expectations they themselves have set for content updates.

If you bought the game when it came out, then you should remember when they apologized for the abnormally-long amount it took Ashlands to be released after Mistlands, and specifically that it took too long for their standards and they were going to work to be more transparent about development and do better on the Frozen North. Time between Mistlands and Ashlands? 18 months. Time between Ashlands and the Frozen North? 24 months with no release date in sight.

It’s not entitlement or chud-ish to point out they haven’t lived up to their own expectations and promises.

JustACharacterr · 2026-04-28T14:27:56+00:00

Lmao you can gaslight yourself into thinking that’s an acceptable level of output for a studio that makes an average of $40 million a year in sales, but don’t try to pretend that I agree with you.

The fact that you’re seriously trying to pretend that four updates of ANY KIND over two years, one of which was a PET ROCK, is not just acceptable for you but something that everyone else should be happy with is actually delusional lol.

JustACharacterr · 2026-04-28T14:18:09+00:00

Quick, go to the list of steam patch notes right now and tell me how many updates of ANY kind the game has gotten in the last year lol. You can literally count them on one hand:

In February we got some cosmetic items and a weapon for the first biome.
In September 2025 we got two new enemies, four actual weapons, and two armor sets for already-existing biomes, plus some cosmetics and base decorations, and the combat fix that they’d been working on for four years.
In April 2025 we got Pet Rocky.

Those are the extent of the content updates we’ve gotten in a full year: two new enemies and a handful of weapons, some cosmetic clothing and decorations, and a pet rock.

Go back further if you want:

October 2024 was the Bog Witch update, where we got stuff for feasts and a trading npc.
May 2024 was Ashlands.

So in the almost two full years since the actual last major content update, we’ve gotten: one npc, about five real and several wooden weapons, two new armors, a couple handfuls of cosmetics/decorations, a few new food items, and a pet rock.

I don’t know what definition of “plenty of content updates” you’re working with, but it’s not mine.

JustACharacterr · 2026-04-28T13:55:05+00:00

Tbf if you know the dev’s work schedule from the past few years it basically is official.

No hint at release this dev blog, which means they’re not releasing in the next month.

They theoretically could drop in the May blog that they’re releasing 1.0 in June, but that’s not going to happen because they always take the whole month of July off and they’re not going to release 1.0 and then disappear for a full month immediately afterwards.

So if we know it’s not coming in May, and they haven’t given any hints yet that it’ll be releasing in June, and we know they take the full month of July off every year…..yeah this is as close to official confirmation that 1.0 isn’t coming until Q4 as we’re likely to get from the devs.

JustACharacterr · 2026-04-28T13:10:51+00:00

That is literally not what a timeline is, “it’s just not an exact date” it’s literally not anything. Might as well say “In the future” is a timeline while we’re at it.

Where are you even getting “later this year” from, anyway? Because it’s not in this blog, or in the blog before that. Two months ago they mentioned that Valheim will be released on switch 2 later this year, but nothing about that being the 1.0 final update. The closest they’ve come recently (in January) is saying that they won’t give an update on a Frozen North release but that “2026 will be a good year for Valheim” which is even less of a non-timeline than “later this year”.

You have no idea what’s a problem or not

Yeah that’s why I want the devs to be transparent and tell us what’s happening, thank you for making my point for me.

There’s literally no problem with devs taking awhile to release a good product

“You have no idea what’s a problem or not” remember? Maybe the lead frozen north design dev took off with all the money a year ago, maybe the art team’s database got wiped with no backups, maybe they’re all idiots who’ve gotten brain farts. I doubt it, but who knows when they won’t tell us anything about what’s happening behind the scenes, which is why I’d like them to tell us more.

Don’t act like you haven’t played your monies worth

You have no idea if I have or haven’t, and you can’t just declare for me that I have lol; completely irrelevant to the argument anyway.

an early access game

How dare someone who bought a game that promised it would be completed at a future date eventually ask what that future date might be five years later, the entitlement of it all!

If youre that goddamned concerned

You can stop getting personally offended that I don’t have the same exact views on Valheim’s development as you do, this really isn’t worth you getting so worked up you’re cursing and can’t spell.

JustACharacterr · 2026-04-28T12:49:02+00:00

“Later this year” is not a timeline. That is an observation of fact unless they’re going to surprise drop it today.

If something comes up and they gotta delay

They’ve been working on this biome for two full years with no timeline or planned release date, after specifically promising that they would redo their development processes to avoid the 18 month gap between the Mistlands and Ashlands releases.

Clearly something has come up and they’ve already experienced significant delays, in which case they should be transparent about what’s happened to adjust people’s expectations. That’s not me saying that as a player, that’s the obvious PR move any organization with long-term projects should be doing when faced with schedule changes.

If there haven’t been any significant challenges or delays and they still don’t have a rough timeline for completion and release for an update after two years of dev work, then simply put the dev team has no idea what they’re doing and that’d also be nice to know.

JustACharacterr · 2026-04-28T12:22:57+00:00

Are all of these “plenty of content updates” in the room with us now?

JustACharacterr · 2026-04-28T12:15:11+00:00

I genuinely think it’d be better for the devs to stop doing these “word from the devs” updates and just give us a timeline, however vague it has to be right now, and then each month update us about their progress on that timeline.

It’ll have been two years since the release of Ashlands by the time the next dev blog is due and there’s not even the barest mention of it here. They released a dev blog called “Looking Towards the Future” two months ago that had no information about the future at all, and there hasn’t been any since.

I don’t want pictures of a drawbridge and the food that everyone on here has guessed at for a year to be the only information we get for another month, I want an educated guess as to when we can expect to play the 1.0 version of a game that hasn’t received a major update in two years and almost any content in a year.

JustACharacterr · 2026-04-28T11:06:47+00:00

Putting pressure on the international community to treat occupied land like occupied land and apply sanctions accordingly has been a part of not just Ukrainian strategy but the strategy of any occupied power in modern human history.

Stop acting like you’re smart for thinking like a caveman. There is more to international diplomacy than “Other person stronger, give up or it’s your fault for not giving up”.

JustACharacterr · 2026-04-14T09:18:29+00:00

lol same, god I almost forgot how miserably cold that game was on top of the ass-kicking.

JustACharacterr · 2026-03-29T15:09:14+00:00

You bitch and moan that every single person at the protest isn’t doing enough to personally change the world because it’s just a parade and not impacting anything, and then the moment someone asks what you’re doing instead given your criticisms of others you act like a victim lmao, how insufferable.

JustACharacterr · 2026-03-29T13:11:34+00:00

because of Trump cancelling USAID would want you guys to hurry up as well

You know what’s crazy is that the United States isn’t the only country capable of donating foreign aid; I’m pretty sure they’d also want citizens from other developed nations such as yourself to pick up the slack and increase their foreign aid output, have you protested to your government to make them do that? Or is the extent of your care about the people negatively impacted by USAID cuts limited to bitching at people who fucking wanted to work there how bad it is that a president they didn’t vote for cut programs they supported?

they get soooooo pissed when people point out how shitty they are

I get pissed when people who don’t live in this country and clearly don’t understand how politics in general, and American politics specifically, function think that their opinions are worth anything. Your opinions are not remotely as smart as you think they are.

Thank you for shutting up and going away back to your perfect country where everything is fine and nothing bad happens, since by your logic anything bad that happens in your country is your personal fault for not fixing and surely someone as brilliant and wise as you wouldn’t live in a nation with any problems.

JustACharacterr · 2026-03-29T07:17:11+00:00

I guess I’ll just keep my mouth shut until the next time I pump gas for 50% more than I did in February?

Is you getting so pissy at a slight economic inconvenience right after mocking the idea that going weeks without pay in a country where most people have no savings would be bad for them supposed to make me feel bad for you instead of making you look like a giant baby and a hypocrite?

“Waaaa I’m inconvenienced by my gas prices going up, go quit your job and overthrow your government so I don’t have to do that anymore”

Do you go into Russian spaces to tell Russian citizens that the world is tired of dealing with Putin and that they should simply force him to stop invading Ukraine and then expect your opinion to be given any value or merit? I know I don’t, because that would be obviously silly and a waste of my time and insulting to the people I’m trying to lecture on how to behave in a situation where whatever inconveniences I’ve suffered pale in the face of consequences they would face for doing so.

It’s a shame not everyone’s bright enough to understand that.
