Dear Valheim Team.

This game has done so much to make a atmosphere of gloomy dangers and unknown turns.

And i for one love it, first time me and my friend was paddling to a distant island when a storm hit us. We did not know if the storm was going to strike my boat, but we conceded that the gods loved my boat. On the other hand the waves was doing a number we were not making much distance and in a way that could not be scripted a thunderclap cast a shadow from the waves, my man at the rudder looked at me "Did you see that?". And my boat turned into a Serpent chewing toy in a second.

We did not leave our island before we had the big boat, simply cause we did not know why it happened, but next time we were prepared.

But always when we found a new biome, a new creature or a new material we were always happy about the way the recipes worked. We always thought there was more to find, refusing to move along for the longest time, hungry to find that hidden gem. After the Swamp Boss we realized we had been sitting on chests of gold all this time and the idea of things not seen peeked again.

Always the modest graphics seemed to trick us into thinking that the game was somehow going to mirror that modesty in it's mechanics, but every time we think we are safe the world of Valheim bites back unexpectedly.

Suddenly convenience becomes key, as we spawn massive farms and brewery's to fuel or need to go further. When the end finally came it was not a sense of having being done that filled us, but constantly we were looking back.

What if we restored that town, what if we connected those islands, what if we made something of that boss shrine to honor them? You get the picture.

What I'm trying to say is with this needlessly long post is.
The game is great and i can't wait for it to become even more.
Love the new tiles, I'm the groups designated builder.

Now i have a few things that i hope you have considered, because of course i have.

The Sea.
More events, like different levels of storms, maybe even a level where you just have to sail around even if you have a huge boat.

Boats...
Big Cargo Ships.
With high rigging making it very hard to defend, but hard to hit people on board with arrows. And tons of Cargo space, maybe not to fast.

Animal Transport Ships.
Cages for bringing wolfs and maybe a big middle cage for a Lox, or to bring brutes home to work the fields Muhahah.

Winter/Summer where the ice sheets extend down the map by some measure.
Boats might get stuck with the need to mine em out or leave them on foot to return in the summer. (You might even make little things for the boats like a heat core lamp that breaks the ice as you sail slowly. Or a Wave-breaker)

Triggered Events that might be hinted at on old rune stones. Like if you hunt 2 serpents on the same day, the 3 will be a bigger or just higher star count serpent. (Does not have to be sea related.)

The Ground.
I love me some cart pullers, can be anything, 2 wolfs, a Lox, One of the brutes that we have taken to referring to as Jötunn.

Mini Bosses.
The game is so inviting to be explored, i think Random spawning Mini bosses be a fun thing to set out to find, Not all new bosses mind you but maybe a special of the ones we have, have like a big troll wandering the Dark Woods somewhere on the map.
The Reward be cool if it was unique, but it could also just be a leg up in the form of a armor or weapon that you could craft later anyhow.

Underground.
I'm such a sucker for into mountain and underground stuff, so I'm very BIAS.
If there was a way that everything above did not collapse when i dug in, i be really happy.
Even if you could just build like a entrance into it and you did not dig but build the hallways and rooms like into it and they did not clip back into the rooms.

Anyway, I love the game. So happy the early accesses works so good. (I can count crashes on 1 hand.) So happy for you all.

Cya around the comments.
