Embrace the spooky season! This celebration returns to Midgard today, October 11th, 2022. Everyone and everything from Valhalla, to the Village, to the Goblins (and even some Helthings) will be showing off their seasonal makeovers. The Valhalloween themed main menu and night defense musical tracks will also be making their return!

Along with the Festive changes, we’ve introduced improvements to the Construction system - quintupling the build limit on PC and doubling the limit on all other platforms. We're still hard at work on this system, and have taken the first steps in a direction to allow for more Constructions in a World, but have plans to improve and optimize it further with our next large update. We are actively monitoring your conversation surrounding the build system and beyond, and appreciate all your feedback!

With that said, let's get this Valhalloween party started.

• Construction Limit Gauge
  
  • To help track the Build Limits within a given World, we’ve added a UI element in Survival that tracks the progress as more Constructions are placed, making it easier to recognize when you’re about to hit the cap.
• Increased Build Limit
  
  • We worked hard to optimize the weight of large amounts of Constructions in a single World so that you can build the Viking home you always wanted!
    
  • We’re continuing to improve this system and monitor how it handles from a technical standpoint out in the wild, but in the meantime we’ve increased the Build Limits on all platforms as such:
  • Quintupled the Build Limit on PC
    
  • Doubled the Build Limit on all Nintendo Switch as well as all Xbox and PlayStation platforms
• Storage Chest Sharing
  
  • Crafting Stations now have a visual radius when interacting or placing them. This radius indicates that the contents of any Storage Chest located within its bounds can be accessed for the purpose of crafting and does not need to be in the Player’s inventory. This should ease up Players’ ability to readily access Materials from any combination of Storage Chests when crafting from nearby stations.
• Storage Chest Dismantling
  
  • We recognized that it was a little too easy to have your Storage Chests be dismantled while there was still precious cargo inside, losing it forever. To remedy this, we’ve made it so that you cannot dismantle a Storage Chest until all of its contents have been removed, triggering a warning if you try to do so.
• Center on Shrine
  
  • When pressing the Seed of Yggdrasil shortcut on the Map, the cursor now centers on the Shrine instead of the Seed, something very useful to free up fast travel with a controller and a feature requested by the Community.
• Shop Currency
  
  • Currency icons have been added to Shop categories to better inform players at a glance (E.G. Gameplay section has a Golden Horn icon)
• Loading Screen Progress Bar
  
  • Loading screens now come equipped with a handy little loading bar to help communicate the progress

• During the Valhalloween Event from October 11th to November 1st, there will be 3 Festive Challenges that can only be completed during this limited time event.
  
• Complete these Challenges to earn unique Valhalloween Content

  • Unlocked with Platinum Coins in the Shop

  • Unlocked with Platinum Coins in the Shop

  • Unlocked with Platinum Coins in the Shop

• Optimized a number of performance issues caused by having a lot of Constructions active in a single World
  
• In our efforts to better optimize mass Constructions, we fixed a number of issues in which people were loading into games and falling through the World
  
• Fixed an issue in which Door Constructions' open/close animations would not always play
  
• Fixed an issue with controller placement direction when rotating in Build Mode.
  
• Fixed some instances of the ! icon staying indefinitely for new items even after you’ve viewed them.
  
• Fixed an issue in which you could not place the Allforge once you’ve reached the Construction cap. You can now place the Allforge regardless of the cap.
  
• Fixed an issue in which the Bow Firing animations would stagger if the player was moving forward while shooting.
  
• Fixed a rare issue in which Players would return to the Sanctuary when emerging from an Underpass or Hideout

During the month of October, we’ll be streaming each Friday at 3:00pm EST on our Twitch channel as well as on YouTube and Steam! Be sure to tune in as we’ll be reviewing your feedback, Valhalloween outfits, completing challenges, and dropping some SHiFT codes.

Hiló Vikings!🛠️ We have deployed a Hotfix to resolve issues identified during Season 3, including various crashes and Xbox invite issues.

There's no downtime - you'll just have to restart Tribes of Midgard to see the changes! 🙌

• Higher-powered Enemies now also drop the basic Materials of their lower-powered counterparts, in addition to their usual higher-tier Materials.
  
  • For example, weaker Unsunken Warriors drop Yarn, while the strongest Unsunken Warriors drop Spun Yarn. Now, the strongest Unsunken Warriors will also drop Yarn in addition to Spun Yarn. Journal entries for these enemies were updated to reflect their full loot possibilities.

• [Xbox, PlayStation] Fixed a crash that could occur when exiting a World just as the Console is going into a suspend state
  
• Fixed a crash that could occur when specific inputs were pressed during game loading
  
• Fixed a crash that could occur during the fishing sequence
  
• Fixed a crash that could occur when harvesting Resource nodes with the Spear equipped
  
• Fixed a crash that could occur when completing the Rune Scribe Challenge
  
• Fixed a crash that could occur when respawning from the Hunter’s Totem
  
• Fixed an issue in which the Embers Armor Set did not have accurate Temperature protection values. It now correctly has a much higher protection against Heat
  
• Fixed a number of issues that could happen as a result of idling or restoring a lost connection in the Tutorial
  
• Fixed an issue in which VFX from the Surtr’s Spire Spear could linger during certain animations
  
• Fixed instances in which players would not receive an error message when trying to accept an old game invitation from a transitional or loading screen
  
• Fixed some legibility issues with player names on the Minimap in the Village
  
• Fixed an issue in which the footstep SFX could be missing while holding a Spear
  
• Fixed an issue that could happen in the Shop in which the Purchase option for a Cosmetic would not update quickly enough after getting more Platinum Coins
  
• [Xbox] Fixed an issue in which Survival Sessions were not listed as Joinable from the Friend’s List
  
• [Xbox] Fixed an issue in which players were unable to send Invites from Private Survival Worlds
  
• [Xbox Series X]Fixed an issue with the rooftop transparency effect in the Village Longhouse
  
• [Xbox Series X] Fixed an issue in which some environment assets were set to the wrong quality setting

As mentioned in yesterday's blog post, we're looking to also increase the Construction limit. We’re also looking into Construction height, pulling Materials directly from Storage Chests, and alerts to prevent dismantling a Storage Chest that contains Items, among a few.

Talk again soon!

Hiló Vikings,

It’s been just about two weeks since the launch of Season 3, and since Tribes of Midgard newly arrived to players on Xbox and Nintendo Switch! In case you’re new here (hello, welcome!!) or need a quick reminder, here’s just some of what rolled in with the Inferno Saga update:



We wanted to take today to talk about your feedback, upcoming improvements, and celebrate what we’ve seen you create so far! Let’s get into it.




First and foremost, we have seen that you have been reaching the limit for Constructions. We completely understand the desire to build bigger, better, and more creative Viking settlements, and it’s one of our top priorities to increase this limitation.

In all transparency, the cap was set in place due to technical limitations, and we’re working on revamping that system to see what’s viable, while ensuring the game remains as stable as possible. We expect the increase in Constructions to take effect in game early October, aligning with our Valhalloween update.

We’ll stay in close touch and let you know as soon as this change can be made - thank you so much for your understanding and patience. It’s not just the Construction limit that we're looking into - we’re also looking into Construction height, pulling Materials directly from Storage Chests, and alerts to prevent dismantling a Storage Chest that contains Items, among a few.


We also wanted to recap some of the top-asked questions this past week or so:

• Where can Yarn be found?
  
  • Yarn can be found on Unsunken Enemies at Ash Beach (Survival + Saga), or, it can be crafted through the Tanning Station (Survival) or Tinker (Saga).
• Do Ancients respawn in Survival Mode?
  
  • No, Ancients do not respawn in Survival Mode (however, we’re always open to feedback and this may change in the future). Jötnar respawn and they will level up.
• Where can I find Quest Fragments in Survival Mode?
  
  • You must craft the Artifact Altar. First, you’ll craft the Mining Cutter from the Allforge. Then from the Mining Cutter, you can craft the Artifact Altar, so long as you have a strand of Angrboða’s hair.
    
  • We are also exploring bringing Quest NPCs to Survival Mode in Season 4.
• How can I Repair items in Survival Mode?
  
  • You repair for Souls using the Allforge (deployable anytime from the Build Menu).

If you ever have more game questions, don’t hesitate to pop by our Discord.


If you’re experiencing any bugs or issues, similarly please be sure to either head to our Discord or Forums to receive real-time assistance. You can find the full list of currently known issues here.

There will be an upcoming hotfix to address some known issues, particularly surrounding game stability, including:

• Higher powered enemies will now also drop the basic Materials of their lower-powered counterparts, in addition to Refined Materials.
  
  • For example, weaker Unsunken Warriors drop Yarn, while the strongest Unsunken Warriors drop Spun Yarn. Now, the strongest Unsunken Warriors will also drop Yarn in addition to Spun Yarn.
• Multiple fixes relating to various crash issues [All platforms]
  
• Fixed an issue in which Survival Sessions were not listed as Joinable from the Friend’s List [Xbox]
  
• Fixed an issue in which players were unable to send Invites from Private Survival Worlds [Xbox]
  
• And more, to be shared very soon!

We've seen some great guides created by our community, and others have been created in our Forum, you can check those out here:

• Triple G’s Complete Guide to Survival
  
• A Powerpoint Guide to Surtr
  
• Jade PG Guide to Summer and Winter in Survival Mode
  
• 10 Tips and Tricks to Playing Tribes of Midgard
  
• The World Clock Explained

Though we are working to address the Construction limit and other pain points, we’ve so far seen some pretty awesome builds submitted in our Discord. Here’s just a few of them we wanted to feature:


So many cozy homes.

And lastly, how could we not share this impeccable Linnorm Costume?

As mentioned in the Survival 2.0 Blog post, the class system has been taken out of Survival Mode in favor of a brand new Blessing Tree.

  • With the advent of new and updated Blessings, this new layout should also make it easier to navigate each, with a better grouping of related Blessings.

• Changes to Invincibility Frames:
  
  • Applied i-Frames when Evading to all Characters.
    
    • The Warrior’s Reckless Roll Blessing has been updated
• Changes to Animation Cancelling:
  
  • Added Animation Cancelling when Evading/Blocking.
• Changes to Mana Gains:
  
  • Successfully blocking enemy attacks with a Shield will now reward additional Mana.
    
    • Guardians will synergize well with this change, as their Refused Judgement Blessing will allow them to gain even more Mana per Shield block.
  • You now earn a set amount of Mana per attack, regardless of how many enemies were struck in that attack.
• Changes to Durability Loss:
  
  • Similar to Mana Gains, your Weapon will now only lose a set amount of durability per attack, regardless of how many enemies were struck.
• Mana Loss from Powerful Foes:
  
  • Being struck by Powerful Foes will leave you winded, causing you to lose a bit of Mana from your gauge.
    
    • Powerful Foes include Jötnar, Elites (red skull indicator), Ancients, and the roaming mini-bosses of Midgard (yellow health bar).
• Combat Feel and Weapon Tuning:
  
  • Slight increase to the camera shake and sense of weight from Attack SFX when landing a hit, adjusted per Weapon type.
    
    • Added the option in Settings to adjust camera shaking on a scale.
  • Animation timing has been adjusted for all Weapon types, to better hone-in on their combat identity and gameplay niches.
    • The Bow has received a more notable overhaul:
      
    • Damage of standard combo attacks has been significantly increased.
      
    • Damage and speed of Aimed / Charged Shots were reduced.
      
    • Durability increased.
  
  
  Crafting
  Survival Crafting Update
  Crafting in the Survival Update is handled differently. To replace the handiwork of the Saga Mode Villagers is no easy task, but luckily Survival players will be able to replicate everything they do (and more!) with our trusty new Crafting Stations. Simply enter Build Mode, then the Build Menu to get started by building your Allforge. Crafting Stations can be upgraded to provide more recipes, but some may have special conditions before they can be built.
  
  
  • Allforge: The central crafting station from which all others are born. Does not cost anything to put down, but you can only have one at a time. It can also repair your Equipment!

  New Content
  
  • New Creature: Lavættir
    
    • A manifestation of Surtr’s wrath, these fiery elementals are born of molten flame and return to it upon death. They are vengeful to the bitter end. After taking enough damage, they will double into smaller, more numerous forms, until finally becoming highly volatile explosives unto themselves. Be careful when delivering that final blow.
    
    
  • New Creature: Brennálfar Witch
    
    • The Brennálfar have Witches of their own, and of course, they’re pyromaniacs!
      
    • Known to stalk the Volcanic Spire, watch out for their fiery orbs; they’re slow-moving, but you don’t want to be around when one goes off.
      
      • Rumors swirl that the most fearsome of Brennálfar Witches, Aska and Edlur, have made their way to the Volcanic Spire to protect their master’s Lair. These Elites will not go down without a fight.
  • New Creature: Brennálfar Watchtower
    
    • These fortified Watchtowers are the backbone of any Múspel invasion force. Capable of being built rapidly, they provide Brennálfar Archers with ideal vantage points and defensible positions to ruin any Miðgarðian’s day.
  • New Creature: Fire Turret
    
    • Dotting the entrenched pathways of the Volcanic Camps, these flame-spewing turrets protect the Camp’s treasure from foolhardy Einherjar itching for a raid
    
    
  • New Creature: Múspelorm
    
    • When two Linnorms fight, they use their massive tails to launch their opponents across unfathomable distances. Legend has it, no one truly knew where the losing Linnorms ended up, until now. Turns out, they were somehow launched into faraway Múspelheim, where over time, their forms evolved to not only handle the immeasurable heat of this Realm but to wield it as well. Now they’re back in Miðgarð, and they breathe fire.
  • New Creature: Sormr
    
    • Vile spawn of Jörmungandr that have slithered their way into the Open Seas.
      
    • The Sormr will poke their heads above water to spit projectiles at any nearby Boats, so keep a watchful eye out when sailing your Drakkar.
  • New Critters:
    
    • We’ve added 5 more non-hostile wildlife critters to further flesh out the Biomes and provide an additional source of Materials like Fur and Feathers.

      • Hare: found in the Bright Forest

      • Snowy Owl: found in the Glacier Peaks
        
      • Vulture: found in the Volcanic Spire
  • New Camp: Outposts
    
    • As part of Surtr’s invasion strategy, a number of Volcanic Outposts have been seen emerging across every Biome in Midgard
      
    • These emergent encampments contain a host of Surtr’s forces that can be quick to overwhelm you if you stumble into one unprepared.
      
    • However, if you manage to clear one out, their treasure chests are known to contain items of great importance to Surtr’s war effort. Would be a real shame if you were to use these items against him.
  • New Camp: Volcanic Spire Camps
    
    • Scattered throughout the Volcanic Spire are a number of heavily fortified encampments for Surtr’s forces.
      
    • These entrenched Camps are a gauntlet of challenges, containing tight passages loaded with Fire Turrets spewing flame, Watchtowers firing on you from afar, and a whole squadron of molten defenders looking to protect their treasure.
  • New Camp: The Lair Entrance
    
    • The peak of the Volcanic Spire is the most heavily fortified of Surtr’s Camps. In order to gain access to Surtr’s Lair, you’ll have to ascend to the final steps, beyond a moat of molten lava, and defeat his two Elite Generals.
  • New Ingredients: Fishables
