  • What's coming to Valheim? In this series of Hearth & Home spotlights we'll take you through some of the new and reworked gameplay mechanics. Shields are important for vikings, and thus this video focuses on them!
    The update will launch during Q3 2021.
    Valheim is made by developer Iron Gate, published by Coffee Stain Publishing.

    Yay for tower shield, I think it could actually use a shield bash option to apply stagger and gain distance to enemies but its still cool to get that change.

      Well that's the buckler..

    • @TheKOzality
      @TheKOzality 2 года назад +4

      I'm here to second this. At the cost of some stamina I think a shield bash would be right in line with the use of a tower shield and someone who is tanking or defensive.

    • @TheKOzality
      @TheKOzality 2 года назад +6

      ​@@MrVerece I think you might be conflating shield bash with a shield parry. My understanding of how the buckler was historically used and how it's portrayed in many games is that it's light, doesn't slow you down, and it is particularly good at parrying strikes. Whereas, the tower shield gains its benefits from its size and weight, which would makes sense why it could handle a bash and the buckler couldn't.

    • @rapindagame8995
      @rapindagame8995 2 года назад +3

      We so need this bash mechanic.. when you are unarmed the mouse button 3 performs a kick that serve this purpose of gettin some space, the shields, at least the tower shield, should be able to do a similar move, even the round shield if you think about it, only havin way less impact and knockback into it than a tower shield.

    • @mackadam5894
      @mackadam5894 2 года назад

      Yeah, that would be really cool if the Tower Shield was a two-handed shield that had its own offensive attack which deals damage. Maybe shield bash with spike add-ons. Or something like a running charge attack.

You've probably heard this one before but please make base torches(not the one you equip) last forever/longer/require less materials.

      There's barely been a couple of working months since the early access launch (post-launch bug fixing + summer vacation would have eaten about two months worth of productivity). Going by their Twitter, new hires started arriving only weeks ago (which is about as early as they could have been expected to arrive, given the notice period in their country). They seem to be making pretty good progress to me.

    • @mascot4950
      @mascot4950 2 года назад +2

      By what measure do you conclude it's slow? It launched as EA in February. They had to take time to stabilize it as they were unprepared for millions of players. That ate some time. They realized they needed more people to cope with the unexpected success, interviewing takes time (given the limited size of the team, it would be noticeable). Summer vacation equals about a month of nothing happening.
      Bottom line, it does not seem all that slow to me. They obviously missed their original plans by a long shot, but they were also successful beyond their wildest dreams, which changed things. It looks like the update should be here soon, and if the cadence should turn out to be one significant update every six months for a few years until it's done, I don't find that at all unreasonable, nor even unexpected. This isn't a major studio with multiple teams working to pump out staggered updates full of new lootboxes, and I for one don't expect their development cycle to be like that either.

    I play with 2 other friends, in the role of tank when we're fighting stuff together...one guy has, until now (we hit silver) been our sneaky fast guy in troll hide, but no more fast armors exist, and the other tends to do 2 handed or spear. I've always used the tower sheilds since I have a fondness for them, but I'm not really sure I consider this a buff or an upgrade- Functionally, enemies get to toss me around? Like, this is good if youre getting dogpiled by a bunch of enemies by yourself, but pretty much ONLY in that situation. Once you're into the swamp and beyond, this feels unhelpful. Youll get knocked into the water in the swamp, knocked off the edge (especially this!) In the mountains, and there's a bunch of enemies in plains..
    I realize the reverse could make things a bit too easy, but I seriously hope there's other upgrades to go with this. If a draugr gets you airtime I don't want to know what wolves or golems will be doing to me, not to mention the fact I just wont be able to hold enemies off anymore.

    Question: Can it be made such that the tower shield only provides knock back if there is a button pressed at the right time? Like left click? Similar to parry but your block is already up. This would be a bit more balanced imho. Also idr if you can attack while blocking which is why I suggested left click.

    • @GikamesShadow
      @GikamesShadow 2 года назад

      You cant really parry with a large shield like that. It would not only be very slow but also would take a TON more stamina.
      It isnt shown in the game but simply thinking of Dark Souls, parrying works more in a way that you have your shield up and bash the incoming attack away to the side.
      They probably cant show it that well in game and so it is more a timing thing than an actual parry.

The journey should be difficult; I should have to actually sail there or ride there or something and fight off whatever is in my way, not just a simple screen with "sell this for this". It should be a manually-driven caravan of sorts, or a small trading vessel that is more equipped for storage than warfare.

    I think there should be a scalable type of tower shield for other material like using black metal instead of Iron to craft it. This will make Serpent and the harpoon more available later on since getting serpent scale is such a hard task and a great experience and I see many players missed out on the whole Serpent and Harpoon thing. It would be worth it to have a tower shield that's slightly stronger than the current age shield but in exchange require more effort to craft

    Love your game, keep up the good work. You know what would be even better than obsessive tweaks to mechanics? Fixes for mechanics that are actually broken, like the auto-pickup feature. My inventory is full of crap, I'm in a fight for my life, I throw my spear, run to retrieve it, but NO, I can't because I just picked a fricking daisy that was laying around, and put it in the quick-access slot formerly occupied by my spear. WTF!?

      I play a spear wielder (lv 95) and indeed the daisy-in-your-spear slot can be annoying. It's also just how the inventory works, they would have to make an exception especially for this situation. I can understand if they do, but also if they don't. Exceptions always brings problems in games. My advice to you is: don't let go of your spear when you are fighting for your life.. 😅

    So this implies that there are three shield types now (if there have always been 3 shield types then I was completely unaware), tower, round and buckler. What benefits does the round shield offer then? Is it a crappier version of the tower shield that has like less of a speed debuff or something? Or is it gonna be a buffed version of the buckler but with less parrying power maybe? I can see the reason for tower shields and bucklers but idk what benefit the round shield is going to offer. Either way I'm excited for what this update will offer.

    • @hmthisisit
      @hmthisisit 2 года назад

      These 3 types of shields already exist, just not on every crafting tier. I think the round shield is (and has always been) intended to be the jack of all trades kind of shield. The buckler is bad at blocking, the tower shield can't parry, and the round shield is decent at blocking while still providing you the ability to parry.

      I was confused about that as well since they said bucklers allow you to parry. I hope the round shield can still parry because that would be super lame for parrying to be it’s own playstyle rather than just a core mechanic. Right now I’m fine with round shields parrying and tower shields doing absolutely jack shi- I mean being more block focus without the ability to parry.

      Currently in the game, bucklers have a higher parry bonus than round shields while round shields have higher block power. This means that while bucklers suck as blocking, they make up for it by being able to parry more easily. Sadly, the game only has 1 buckler and it's only bronze so you replace it with higher tier round shields eventually anyways. xD

    I had an idea for the update, since it's based on hearth and home, how does a telescope sound? A new base object, the higher you build it, the better it works - allowing you to scout the surrounding area fast for hunting or resources. You could use a greydwarf eyes and some core wood/ancient wood as mats. Also maybe a similar function for portals, that a portal has a limited range it can send you. The higher up, the further that range is. It'd be a good nerf for portals, and I just feel like we could use some elevation build difference. Maybe another home object that improves with depth in which it's built. Like a special dwarf effigy item that causes ore to grow around it, the deeper it is surrounded on all sides by land, the faster and more ore it spawns, so you can farm ore anywhere. Idk, just some ideas to make terrain play a bigger part in choosing a base location.

    - I want to be able to customize the armor, several of its appearance options.
    - I want a convenient panel for personal items. Increase the number of inventory cells. I need the ability to remove an item from the inventory so that it does not interfere.
    - Please allow wood of different qualities to be burned in a fire and processed into coal.
    - Please add in the construction mode a wooden wall in two cells only vertical (there is the same in the game but only horizontal) and a round plug for the roof, I really need it for my 8 coal and 16 coal houses, and I also need a hatch door to open from the bottom up as a door.
    - I really like to play in the game and beat everyone with a fist, empty-handed - but because of the blows they are thrown so far away that the second blow always misses, I want more damage from the hand.
    - I urgently need a weapon in the form of brass knuckles for hands or claws, like wolverine, I also need a weapon that would consume a stone-like a slingshot something. I'm sorry to throw it away.
    - Add the opportunity to smear the tree with something so that it does not spoil from the rain - for example, with resin, there is so much of it in the game, I want several more types of shades for wooden and other buildings.
    - Also add some alternative types of attacks to some weapons. Reduce the epicness of blows from two-handed hammers and axes - it seems to me that this does not look quite right.
    You have such a wonderful game, I've already played 850 hours, I really like it, when I play , I'm already shaking with joy, there's so much more to come up with in it. Thank you very much that there are no tasks and quests in the game - I can't stand them! ^.^))

A buff for tower shields is nice, even though on the surface this doesn't look like much of one, but it doesn't tackle the main issue that regular parry shields are vastly more powerful, a slight nerf to them would make tower shields more viable, as scoring a parry in the first place is both easy and rewards you with MORE block power than a tower shield of the same material, as well as a significant DPS increase.
