I refrain from some early access titles if the track record of the devs is to abandon them. With Valheim it is a love hate thing....love the game, hate the prolonged 'roadmap', but this is what I signed up for when I bought in to EA....

Ogre raises several very reasonable points here. But it boils down to this: It s EA , was always declared as EA so Caveat Emptor.

The thing about all this that makes me amused, is the Threads along the lines of "they're doing nothing.. waa waa waa!"

Then we see threads like this talking about mods and the fact the updates often skew them fairly often as well. So which is it?
Are doing nothing and we HAVE to mod to extend the game or they are tinkering with it while they build a new Biome and those updates "break" the Mods...

Honestly some of the mods look very interesting but i'd hate to start a server or game relying on them as I am a very occasional and casual player then turn around and discover the Mod was down even for a short while after a Patch...

Pity about Willybachs textures apparently affected recently I was using those and or the HD pack. But tis an easy fix to restart play.

I do hope the Devs can keep an eye on what Mods are popular as others have said as its great feed back from the community. Why oh why we have no diving in the water as standard I shall never know. I have tinkered with a Mod for that and it works pretty well.

Not perfectly as occasionally you do get stuck on the shore with it. But so infrequently i'd add that in a heartbeat if I was setting up a modded server even with that minor glitch.
