The game’s progression system is really unique. Killing bosses for unlocking material etc. I haven’t played the game yet, just got a PC for the first time in years. Very excited to try it though.

[@fvlse_]

Disappointed to report the game was a bit of a let down. Maybe it’s just not my cup of tea. There isn’t any real depth from what I could tell, it was all just “meh.” Some of it was downright frustrating. Others may like it.

[@JerDog1984]

Why don't you elaborate instead of just saying "meh". You're just trying to crap on someones first time experience with "meh". The game is awesome, and for the price £12 you cannot say "meh". .. you are obviously still watching V Rising on YT@@fvlse_

Asome guide thanks.

[@o.w.i.m]

… love how you say “or you are gonna die” serious emphasise =)

[@VisualRift]

I am really enjoying this game so far but one big thing I hope they change or put into the game is shared loot. By this I mean when enemies are killed or a boss for example multiple people can get the loot because as of right now one person can grab the loot really fast and then it creates friction that doesn’t need to be there. Also having an option where you can lock the cursor in place would be really fantastic for example I noticed I hold down the right mouse button whenever I’m running or even in combat because it feels more like games I’m used to that moving the mouse around moves the camera and having this as an option to toggle on/off may help people especially ones that aren’t used to this type of system

[@kaziecknoneya6589]

The good news is that bosses never drop anything unique. Only Hearts/occasional recipes.

[@brianestepa2376]

Maybe that can be an option for pve. for pvp that would ruin the point lol

[@Royalskunk974]

Something like albion online would be appropriate in there since it's basically the same kind of game, the loot is shared and locked for 2min where nobody except you can loot it

[@VisualRift]

Awesome guide! I learned a lot. Just got this game on sale. I do have one little tip or suggestion, If I may? When you are showing something off can you not spin around so much please? It made me feel sick how many times you would spin around when showing the castle stuff off. I could see everything just fine, you didn't have to spin around so many times lol.

[@richardgregory3684]

V Risding has a problem, in that unless you join a new and empty server, PVE is a waste of time for a new player because it's guaranteed that all the best spots will be occupied by maxxed out players. And of course that problem is far worse on a PVP server. They're loaded with maxxed out top geared people who are now a bit nored and liven up their days by smashing newbies repeatedly into the ground and decimating their castles over and over. Not for any real gain, but because it's "fun"

[@ballislife9834]

how many servants can u have? it would be cool to have them guard the base in certain places and have some patrolling outside the base etcc.. will they also attack any players or NPC that comes close to the base?

[@LastKnownMeal]

Depends on the level of the caste, I have 7 and so far they were enough, but I just send them out to gather resources

[@chmun77]

If I play with my friends, can I continue the progress alone after leaving the co-op game, and then join my friends again with the latest progress again? Thanks.

[@LastKnownMeal]

Yes, for as long as that world on the server exist your character stays no matter if you play alone or with friends. Just keep in mind that it's one server = one character, there is no server transfer.

[@madac219]

If you just want o play solo should you just play private game? and if you do pick private re the settings auto put to what the base normal settings are?

[@DaffyduckNZ]

Play private if you're going to play solo, private games have three options PvE Standard PvE medium PvE Hard All three of these affect item drops, damage recieved/given, blood drain etc. You can choose a difficulty and then further customize the settings to your liking e.g. you can turn off repair costs, reduce damage, increase drop chance etc.

Ok, no pvp for me 😂. Do you have to build? Or can you just play and get everything that way? I don’t mind upgrading the gear, but the building i am afraid i do not have the patience for.

[@LastKnownMeal]

You have to build at least some because you have to craft armor and weapons, but besides that you don't have to go into intricate castle building

[@LastKnownMeal]

Yeah, as JROC said, just use them at the beginning since you will get roof anyway and garden maybe but it's not a must

[@BananaNationTV]

dont use them if you can avoid it. Bone should be put into the grinder asap as bone dust is really tough to get and you will need a lot of it

Press your build hotkey. Default is "B" first tab (maybe only tab at your level) is fundamentals. In it you should see castle heart and a few others. Just started myself a few days ago. I play solo, but its pretty fun.

Is the game actually fun and not overly challenging as a single player doing PVE only? With it being on sale I am really tempted to give it a try. I love the atmosphere and concept.

[@jamiewalker6296]

I would say it’s a nice challenge. I just got it yesterday and played solo on my own server. Bosses so far have been a nice level of challenge. What I would say is don’t have a set build/skill set in mind when you fight. I tried fighting the bosses the same way each time and ran into a lot of trouble. Shifted my abilities and weapon, watched the bosses patterns and had a way better shot at the fight.

[@stormywinchester8861]

[@rpscorp9457]

I find very painful to get resources in this game. It’s very grindy and when I see these huge castles and how it demands a ton of bricks, I feel already tired just imagining the amount of resources you need lol

[@zzyzx_001]

Late game weapons and armour take way more time than the bricks for your castle lmao.

[@khadrogo4797]

I felt the same, so I now run my own PVE LAN map and I've upped the resource drop. This makes it so much less grindy. To balance it out I've also increased the mob strength so it's not a face roll......works well in my opinion. It's an option anyways, hope this helps.

[@ahealthkit2745]

It's easy to just adventure around the map and not really focus on grinding on a specific resource, so it really doesn't get *too* tiring. A lot of times, the game benefits that style of gameplay too, since you'll run into rarer resources and materials.

[@tmkongen]

Make your own game and fix that if it's a game breaker for you :) You won't be online but...

[@ClippyChop]

I thought the same thing initially, but very quickly am ending up with much more resources than I need, and it hasn’t felt nearly as grindy as valheim

I would understand if you were only laying it solo. But in pvp you cold literally cheese players by running in their castle, and logging out so your character would dissapear, and later on empty their chest, and wait for somebody to open the doors again.
