VALHALL: Harbinger - Beta Testing - News - The Harsh Winter Challenge & Co-op Advancements & Diverse Survival Improvements

Vikings!

[p][/p][p]Most of you haven't been able to experience the winter in the game, as it required too much playtime to start and was previously set to be infrequent due to some issues. But now, you will definitely experience it because its upgraded version is a part of the new Challenge in the Dynamic world event system we're building.[/p][p][/p][p]This is the first Challenge event that occurs globally across the world and is available in Co-op too (not only in Singleplayer)..[/p][p][/p][p][img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/33480851/1f3574afdf99b6afa57519373fb7f57583c632be.png"][/img][/p][p][/p]

This patch will arrive next Wednesday (October 8th).

[p][/p][p]Here's what it will bring:[/p][p][/p][p][/p]

The Harsh Winter Challenge

[p][/p][p][img src="https://i.postimg.cc/GtDCGNz8/gif43252435.gif"][/img][/p][p][/p][p]It is a Challenge. You need to survive by overcoming the harsh winter until the very end to successfully accomplish it.[/p][p][/p][p]If you don't succeed, there is no punishment, you simply don't get the reward.[/p][p][/p][p]As with all Challenges, you will hear a horn that shakes the ground announcing its beginning and gives you some time to prepare. Then, the whole world will be covered by frost.[/p][p][/p][p]The winter during the Challenge is an intense blizzard. It is bitterly cold outside, and you must stay warm to survive.[/p][p][/p][p]Natural resources like raspberries, flax, and mushrooms disappear, so you must prepare food beforehand. Normal animals like bears and deer also vanish.[/p][p][/p][p][img src="https://i.postimg.cc/5tX8BScZ/gif43252324.gif"][/img][/p][p][/p][p]However, formidable snow wolves appear. They are more dangerous than their usual counterparts. During the Challenge, you can hunt them for a reward, both Glory and special loot only they possess.[/p][p][/p][p][img src="https://i.postimg.cc/L5xsQGL0/gif4325225.gif"][/img][/p][p][/p][p]And finally... beware a terrifying new encounter you may trigger on your voyage home.[/p][p][/p][p][/p]

Co-op Host Performance Boost

[p][/p][p]If you are hosting a co-op session, you will notice a performance boost (up to 20% increase in frame rate).[/p][p][/p][p]In some cases, co-op clients will also get a smoother experience.[/p][p][/p][p][/p]

Co-op Client Steering

[p][/p][p][img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/33480851/b91c6d02baa42783773ae9c28859dcd7d2581933.png"][/img][/p][p]Friends playing as clients in co-op can steer their own ships alongside yours (host).[/p][p][/p][p][/p]

Diverse Survival Improvements

[p][/p][p]Increased the durability of walls and fences so bots can’t reach your chests too quickly.[/p][p][/p][p]Increased pickaxe durability.[/p][p][/p][p]Arrows can now be crafted in stacks of 5 instead of one at a time.[/p][p][/p][p]Made fighting wolves easier and improved auto-targeting when enabled.[/p][p][/p][p]Improved wolf sounds to make them less annoying.[/p][p][/p][p]Fixed an annoying bug where the torch could get stuck and prevent weapon switching.[/p][p][/p][p]Temporarily disabled parkour for rework to prevent bugs (was rarely useful, but will become important later).[/p][p][/p][p]Reduced the price traders pay for stones.[/p][p][/p][p]Fixed incorrect sound effects for Thor’s hammer.[/p][p][/p][p]Fixed an issue where animals would sometimes stop aiming and slide during attacks, breaking combat.[/p][p][/p][p]Fixed remaining issues with collateral building destruction.[/p][p][/p][p]Adjusted several map areas to prevent players from getting stuck.[/p][p][/p][p]Fixed rain and snow not aligning with wind direction and foliage.[/p][p][/p][p]Adjusted a few problematic dual-wield attack animations.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Thank you guys for your feedback and support![/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Skål![/p][p]Blackrose Arts[/p]
