A god of love rises in Valnir. His monks have built a temple on the large mountain in the middle of the island. It is an area of peace and rest for exhausted warriors. If you are in danger, you can always get asylum in the church. No one will attack or endanger you there. Besides, the new monks bring some gifts and distribute them generously. You may simply help yourself with their treasures. People in the cities are becoming poorer and poorer, so gifts are welcome.

Fixed bug where healthbar shows full health despite being damaged
Animals, creatures and monsters sometimes did not show the correct health bar status when they got out of view and back into view and also for some other reasons.
Fixed bug where ranged weapons only removed but didn't need projectiles.
Ranged weapons always need projectiles now. You now can’t shoot a bow without an arrow.
Fixed major bug that caused projectiles to not be respected in damage calculation.In some cases the projectile was not taken into account in the damage calculation.
Fixed minor bug where fall damage is sometimes applied seemingly randomly.
In certain cases you could be damaged when running down a hill or jumping off a horse because fall damage was calculated wrong.
Fixed bug in the crafting process of the updated simple shield.
Simple shield crafting recipe was broken and lead to a problem that some
Fixed multiple instances of misaligned world terrain / walls.
Lots of problems in the world with walls and unaligned colliders where fixed.
Balancing
Also we have done some balancing stuff concerning animals and PVE Combat.
Projectile Gravity
Added gravity to projectiles. This is especially important for aiming and feels way more natural in ranged combat.

Greetings Vikings,
we rolled out a hotfix patch to address an issue with the starting quests.

Greetings, fellow Vikings! We have been busy in Cologne to bring you the greatest update ever released: Valnir Rok 0.6.0 - or as we call it: The Combat Update, which is available now!
It features a brand-new combat system that we designed completely from scratch. It consists of four core moves, which can be used to counter each other. The Base Attack hits enemies in front of you with a wide swing, while the Heavy Attack will inflict deep wounds, but needs to be charged first and aimed with precision at your foes’ heads. With the Low and High Block, you can protect yourself from lethal attacks. All of the new core moves can be
executed both while standing still and when moving around the enemy, which makes the combat overall more fluent and provides players more variety in maneuvering during a fight.
We also tackled our biggest enemy: The Lag. In the past two months we engineered an entirely new and blazing fast netcode that carries time critical information such as player movement and all combat moves with as little delay as possible. Now, even playing on servers in other regions works like a charm with no noticeable delay.
We also improved the overall game performance drastically. We worked on our rendering code and during all of our tests we saw significantly improved FPS and little to no stuttering.
So we established ideal conditions for rapid PvP battles that are determined by skill, not by luck. But not only that, we also fixed a great number of bugs that were reported by you. Some of them have existed for way too long, so we are happy that we could get rid of them once and for all.
One more thing: Even though we released the greatest update in Valnir Rok‘s history, we decided to keep all existing character data. So hop back into the game now and check out Patch 0.6.0!
Now that the combat update is released, we are already planning what we want to deliver in Patch 0.6.1. We can‘t say much yet, but it will focus on balancing and also one of Valnir Rok‘s most popular features: Quests.
(November 29th) at 14:00 CET we want to do a STRESS AND CRASH TEST for Valnir Rok We want to invite as many people, stress out the server and gather some data. Are we going to be able to crash the server? Everyone promising to take part will receive a key. What do they need to do

In short: removed all desyncs, removed all lags, completely new combat and netcode. Greetings, fellow Vikings!It has been a while since we last talked about what’s going on in the studio. It’s time to bring you an update directly from Cologne, and we have exciting news for you!Fr
In short: removed all desyncs, removed all lags, completely new combat and netcode.
Greetings, fellow Vikings!It has been a while since we last talked about what’s going on in the studio. It’s time to bring you an update directly from Cologne, and we have exciting news for you!From the first day of early access, we have listened closely to your feedback and added lots of new features to the game. On paper, we now have implemented almost everything we had planned in the beginning. A few weeks ago, we sat down with the team and discussed what parts of the game would need to be worked on in order to improve the game experience as a whole. We decided it would be Valnir Rok’s combat system.
In the brutal and unforgiving world of Valnir Rok, combat is a core component. Whether you enjoy PvP or a PvE, you will always face your enemies with an axe or sword. It is something that should feel right. So, after a lot of brainstorming sessions we came up with a completely new combat system, that we want to introduce to you in this article.
The new combat system consists of 4 core moves that can be used to counter each other:
All of these moves can be executed while standing still or walking around. A big drawback of the old combat system was that your character always took a few steps forward when performing an attack, letting you end up behind your opponent. The new system allows free movement at all times, so you can stand still or move around while attacking or blocking however you like.
All these new moves need their own animations. Luckily, Neysha recently joined our team. She is a professional animator and created and fine-tuned over 15 completely new character animations for the new combat system.
The animations are timed precisely and aim to convey as much information as possible so that you as players just know what is happening on screen without even thinking about it.
Neysha isn’t the only new team member. Holger, an experienced Unity Programmer also joined us at the office and is working together with Felix on the game code. In the past, network latency was always a big deal in Valnir Rok. We were always optimizing our systems as much as we could to address lag, desyncs, rubber-banding and other problems. Together with Holger, we’re eliminating these issues once and for all. We developed a brand new netcode that is designed to be as fast as possible from the ground up. The new system transmits information over ten times quicker than the old code, effectively removing any avoidable delays. During our internal tests, we could control our characters perfectly just by looking on other player’s screens, awesome!
All these changes combined are literal game changers. It already feels like a new game and we’re not even done! For this reason, we have decided that we should finally increment the version number. This update will be Patch 0.6.0 of Valnir Rok. We’re planning to release it within the next few weeks.
Do you have questions about the 0.6.0 Combat Update? Great! Post your questions in the forum thread or in our Discord. We’ll collect them and make a Q&A video where we will answer them in person and maybe tell you a little bit more about the future of Valnir Rok.
The update will be released within the next few weeks.

Due to illness-related circumstances, unfortunately, some of the development of Valnir Rok has been delayed.
However, we will publish a roadmap as soon as possible and carry out an update including the publication of the server software. Due to the GDPDR / DSGVO we have to make an update to the server software and a manual so that it can be set up compliant on own / foreign servers.
In addition, we are still working on the recurring lags / desyncs.
