As long s they keep some open world solo stuff I'm fine. I don't expect to ever do a dungeon solo. I don't expect to solo boss mobs in open world. I do want to be able to solo some stuff in open world. I also want to be able to travel through areas (when appropriately geared). There are folks who hate crafting, others who hate building, etc. There will be folks who hate farming and animal husbandry but love their mounts. One thing people need to recognize is that you can be clanless but still not be playing solo. There are lots of friendly folks in the game who will chat, trade, hunt, help and dive into dungeons.

Yep sandbox mmos can't be beat or won. My first MMO was SWG at launch it was much more sandboxy than it became after the NGE update. Several folks after the first month were very unhappy because they couldn't figure out what the purpose of it all was. Sandboxes in real life are just a medium for kids to play. Pretty much it's the same thing in Pax Dei. Yes there are more toys in the Pax Dei sandbox but no one is telling you what or how to do anything. It also means that there is no right way and experimentation can have great rewards. All that said when are you going to talk about that build you're at in the video? I'm working on more building experiments and have no idea how to fit the humongous stuff.

Boy, it's beginning to look like the diamond ore generation settings have been tweaked... lol Not really, you just chose a good spot to set your base.

You need to get your Carpentry skill up -- for more building pieces to show up.

Interesting stuff 👍😊 Looking forward to seeing your progression

Cool stuff 👍 ..very relaxing to watch .. Ive just realized im on the same server as you 😀 ...im over in the east ..top corner of the map, built a Tolkien,Rohan, Golden hall style house ( i like to think lol) Anyway i digress ..i would like to come visit and check out your progress 😊 . Thanks for the video .

Cool ... Nice to visit folks 😊

Spent the first two minutes ripping into the idiots on the crew...love it lmfao😂😂

Can't wait til we have games like this in VR, would really like to walk around in this world and enjoy the scenery

If I remember correctly, the ore generation table was changed when they went to the much deeper world Gen. I think you'll be much more likely to find iron when you get to Y=0 or so.

Just seen this come across my feed, this looks great! looking forward to watching!

Woohoo!

Hey, it's lagging.

Is the FPS that bad or is it the capture/recording?

My partner in crime was always my big brother, and we started with the Amiga 500 :) That's really cool how your community slowly and organically grew. Wish you lots and lots more hours full of fun :)

Not really sure what my opinion of this game is yet. I have done zero looking into this game other than the few videos of yours that I have seen. That said, I am looking forward to seeing where this goes.

The game is crap... apart from UE5'work on graphics which is not the game dev. and bought assets and packs off the UE store ain't nothing going on for this. It's so badly optimized too. Sad

This is actually a great idea - what better time than EA to experiment?

If you're hoping for iron for a flint and steel, a possible work-around would be using lava to set a piece of wood on fire. If you can get the face of the wood block to ignite in a way that the flame "block" is inside the portal, it will work the same as a flint and steel. Not really the way you're "supposed" to do it, but it is a possible pathway to the nether.

I saw one of you in the heavy metals area yesterday. I am the character, "Lester". Typed in local and was ignored.

If you have enough diamond right now, you may consider just leaving the ore where you find it, and come back and mine it if you need it or get a fortune enchantment from the villagers

Hey just thought I’d comment! I just saw this in my recommended and I had thought I’d let you know! Good luck with the series and I’ll have to watch from the beginning :)

I'm finally caught up with episodes -- playing the game too much to watch YT.

10:17 Water touching "flowing" lava makes cobblestone. Water touching a lava source "block" turns to obsidian.

Now I see what you are going to need a bunch of filler blocks for building out over the river. I did not expect to see you totally fill the space beneath. I understand why though. Floating blocks aren't structurally sound 😉

8:50 you talk about going further with the lava. I was thinking if you are not able to get a good source of lava in the nether you can use this little pool. If you have alot of things to smelt, lava burns in a furnace for a long time.

Hi guys, I found you today because I love all kind of survival games and I saw your videos of this game that i did not know about it, and this game got my attention a lot, thanks for sharing this game, btw am 45 and i live in Panama city, panama.

Perhaps you have explained this in your other minecraft series, so if you have, please just point me there. Why are you digging out so much material as you are building your base? Are you doing that because of where it spawned you at the very beginning?

They really need to put in /commands -- pressing B is hard to remember for this old lady.

I'm glad to see you start using those diamonds! Haha. And it's good to se some progress being made on the base. 👍

i like this idea of yours ! keep at it.

Love it :) the world needs more superheroes like you haha!

This is literally the exact style of gameplay I’m looking forward to when I get home from my trip and buy Pax Dei lol. Happy to have found your peaceful approach :D

Nice video

Hear, hear!

This old gal snuck in on her lunch break today. They're having some fun with Day 1 server issues, but all devs are on deck and pumping out update notices to their community.

have a blue and gold 326 implant for hyde ... what one should i be upgrading to 340 ? to give toy Hyde / Deconstruct ? i just came back to the game afta 2 years

Sounds like an interesting game. I have never used Patreon before. I assume I would type in "Two Old Guys" and y'all will pop up?

can i stack donuts on it?

I hope I see you in game!

Asheron’s Call was my first MMO. I’m not sure anything has matched it’s crafting and discovery, hierarchy systems or sheer open world scope yet.

Just found this series, and its an absolute gem. Hope you guys continue to have fun playing it!

Talking about little utilities (comment on previous video), moving blocks and torches in and out of your offhand reninded me. If you press "F," the item or stack of items in your main hand will be switched to the offhand. If there is something already there, they switch spots. Im enjoying your videos Sir, thank you for doing what you do.

It's funny, I have been wondering about your mining strategy. Just before watching the episode before this one, I had planned on writing a comment asking about it. Now I don't need to 😅 A small suggestion, I would recommend placing your shovel next to your shovel next to your pickaxe in your hotbar. Helps with some unnecessary scrolling while you're placing your barrier blocks to keep the water out.

Funny how little utilities exist everywhere with no explanation or hint to their existence. I have been playing minecraft since 2012, and I have never once done that. Pretty neat

So far you haven't gotten enough iron to make full iron tools, but you probably have enough diamonds to make a complete set of armor, and a couple tools. That's funny.

Love your story. Mine is just the reverse. Started out with nintendo, zelda and my 10 year old son. 30 years(about) later and we have played some awesome games together.

For a video specific comment, at 10:16 you are talking about the structure you see on your mini-map. I would hazard a guess that what you are seeing is a mineshaft. If it were an ancient city it would appear as a large cavern, not what appear to be hallways. it would be cool if you found an ancient city though. :)

It's neat to have found a channel with such a small community (and the content is actually good). Normally comments just get lost in the sea of mindless words, but here I feel like my comment may have some value. It is pretty neat to see your methodical approach to general gameplay. Perhaps it's just the way you narrate. Either way, your approach is different than younger folks, and I wonder if that has anything to do with your life experience. Also, I watched most of your series about your guys' Vallheim server. I really appreciate your mindset of respecting game progression and honoring the intent of the game over just exploiting it to gain the fastest progress. If I had more time in my life to play (and if your server was still active), I would be very interested in joining and playing with you guys.

Jade and Journeymap are clientside mods, you should be able to add them regardless of whether they're in the modpack.
