I agree Iron Beams are the answer

There is literally no reason to EVER use a tower shield in this game. They're literally useless pieces of crap. Slower, heavier, no parry, and doesn't block full damage from end game mobs. So whats th..

I don't disagree that the tower shield could use something more. There's definitive difference though against mid tier mobs that would otherwise cause damage against a small shield. Like a 2 star trol..

I see it as a risk/reward or like a champion vs. a tank situation. There's no risk in just raising your shield and absorbing all damage, but the lesser shields can still take some from tough mobs as a..

I would like to see some differences, such as bucklers unable to effectively stop arrows, or adding a recoil when hit hard, while towers block virtually all arrows and are not subject to being stunned..

Maybe if you could hit while blocking when using tower shields, with increased stamina cost or something, just an idea.

I'm guessing they intended the tower shield to be used in a "tank" playstyle with a better passive defense, but they just haven't really gotten the balancing for shields down yet. So at the ..

I guess this should be balanced in the future, like give tower shields some perks, since you lose parry

I've had the same thoughts so I'm missing the same thing you're missing I guess.

I honestly don't know, parrying with regular shield just seems so strong.

It's more a luck of the world you get. The one I used prior to my current world was full of crypts. Current one isn't bad either.

You could make a second world, just for mining iron if you wanted.

It isn't so bad that you couldn't start over anyway. I have around 20 worlds and characters.Starting over lets you appreciate the changes they make to progression. To each their own though.The devs ha..

get it ...GET IT!

Nothing would change in your world that you created, buildings, work benches, items, food, etc. Your personal skills & progress levels will remain the same, too. Only things changing would be more..

Never, you don't lose any progress. You create the world, and it's entirely hosted by players. Either dedicated or pier to pier. Even in future updates you would still be able to play on the first wor..

The Dev's are adding caves to the Mountains so I'm hopeful they'll go back and add dungeons to the Plains, maybe black metal / gold mines. Maybe they'll add a quest to rescue some npc slave miners fro..

All that said the skill penalty is still super harsh. If I cared about skill levels I'd have to make a second character exclusively for falling off things while building.

Additional: You get a huge temporary survival buff when removing a gravestone. 50 seconds of 1/4 stamina usage for movement (free movement if combined with Eikthyr's power) large physical damage resis..

That looks pretty solid, might have to check it out. I am liking that island that is in the mouth of the bay.

Also make sure you always have the rested bonus, it makes a significant difference. +50% hp regen / +100% stamina regen / +50% xp gain

Core wood can work, but if your want maximum stability use the iron beams.If you want a fire for comfort near the bed use stone flooring. The fire can also be on a floor above or below as long as it's..

I laugh when people say they completed the game but didn't once deal with fulings at night post Moder; and post bug fix patch.

Found a new enemy in the swamps called the Abomination. When you kill it you get roots which can craft a new set of armor. It climbs out of the ground when you approach a bone pile. It's not as strong..

maybe it was a drake that was in aggro range of your base just before you ported out and you didn't notice.

Yeah I thought it strange too. First time I have seen that. I did a walkabout outside, even though I was just there looking for iron in chests, and saw blueberries, wood & medium leather on the gr..

Honestly would have been better as "Yagluth's"

Looks like EZ mode. First three bosses and trader on the first island. The one exception for Moder, which would be a bit of a challenge since it is only one direction. Also seems there are a lot of sh..

Looks interesting, but no Maypole.

Yeah I dunno about drakes attacking your stuff when you aren't around. I have a couple mountain bases that drakes will bother from time to time , but never when i'm not there.
