Fun ideas for late game while we wait for updates?
Hello,
I've hosted a dedicated server since launch. The first playthrough attracted a full 10 friends and it was the most fun I've ever had in a game. With so many looting and exploring the progression was pretty streamlined.
While some didn't have time to grind and play as much, the rest of us over played and provided all the amenities.
For each boss we would set up a structure of some sort, be it guck-tree towers for bonemass, a warm cabin for moder, or (my favorite) a pub for the final boss where we all cheers'd before heading into battle.
Outside of questing and grinding to progress one friend built a gladiator arena where we would have pvp battles. Our seed was blessed with a lake near our main base, on which I built multiple huts/docks and made what I call "battle boats".
We each built a unique house to our own liking. I had a wolf pack while another tamed a lox, and basically everyone had boars.
Oh yea, a couple of us also sailed up to the great north to hollow out and/or build on icebergs.
I'm ranting to try and show the extent of what we did to extend the good times.
Unfortunately no one is playing anymore and I can't think of any new ideas to try and make the game fun again.
What are some fun things you've done, or seen done?

I love to build into the ocean.
In the right place, you can build very far out, seeing giant waves, and storms just below your houses floorboards. Built on stilts of course (foundation columns).
Very relaxing visuals, and ive been able to camp sea monsters sometimes, if you build in the right place :).
It forces you to think outside the box when creating ocean buildings. Highly recommend it.
Also like to build large bridges and waterways /canals. Sadly the game runs like a$$ when i do. so i had to stop :(
Not a fan of the mods currently, their all pretty amateur, and fairly buggy.
Not to mention break every update, which is to be expected do to EA.

Sounds like you and your mates made the most of the limited content, I'll raise a glass to this post as i completely feel where you're coming from, even with mods there's only so much we can do, my advice is to take a break and play another game untill more content is released or find another group to play with, don't burn yourself out on Valheim and kill your own enthusiasm.
It's obvious you're one of the good players, best of luck to you OP I hope you stick around or come back in the future <3

South pole has a different biome than north. It may be fun for ya to explore. Looks cool. It has some mobs, and an ore type not used in game yet.

Did you actually read what the OP wrote? Because your comments make zero sense. anomalies, world bosses, side stories, more missions, more weapons and unique gear

Start a fresh solo game with a new character and try for a no death run. It is quite the challenge to make sure you plan things out carefully to avoid doing anything dumb to get yourself killed.
I always made sure on my no death runs to not play tired. Tended to make dumb mistakes if I was playing too late. Silly stuff like forgetting to eat etc.. really was annoying to end a run due to something dumb. Also avoiding glitches/bugs... getting stuck in terrain would end a run also.
Did a few no death runs myself and now playing a new seed with a new character I am being a bit more aggressive in my playstyle since I am not worrying about death now... still don't want to die due to skill loss but not too worried about it ending a run.

I would suggest trying out a few mods, they're rather easy to install and there are many client-side ones allowing each player to put their own spin on the same server.
Other than that, no game can entertain forever and unfortunately it seems as though this game won't really see any actual content updates anytime soon.

Build. Boring for some, but I'm enjoying it from time to time.
