Why do tamed wolves keep howling?

[Jingle]

It doesn't look necessary and it doesn't make sense, why did devs make them howl constantly?
I saw lot of people complaining about it and why it haven't been fixed?

I know I can use mods but this needs to be fixed..

The question "A lot of people complain about XYZ. So why hasn't this been fixed yet?" means there are also a lot of other things to fix.

So why hasn't it been fixed yet? Well, why hasn't the boat floating in the air haven't been fixed yet?

The answer is: they're getting there. I'm sure the devs have the bugs and excessive howling tracked in their issue tracker somewhere.

Also, you can complain further here: https://steamcommunity.com/app/892970/discussions/2/3112542578519474635/

You can alternatively get a mod to turn off howling: https://www.reddit.com/r/valheim/comments/lx4mp4/mod_are_you_tired_of_those_wolf_howls_keezys/

dogs bark wolves howl, nature of the beast.

They're pining for the fjords.

Thus it has been since Colossal Cave.

I have a base on the edge of a Mountain biome and just hearing the wild ones howling away all the time has not exactly been good for my nap time. Worth thinking about future taming scenarios.

They didn't go crazy , they went wolf.

Fixing boat floating in the air and changing howling frequency is different.
It's not hard to pull off. It's been like that from release.
I'm not sure if devs even consider fixing it.

If it's intended to be annoying I'd rather understand it's how they want it to be. Maybe they thought having too many wolves is OP and give player disadvantage lol.

My theory is, they didn't put it on their high priority cus sounds are not game breaking. But it breaks my mind.
And thanks for the links :)

After you tame it it gets worse, they breed and the howling multiplies. I thought it'd stop after taming

ever had a stupid dog? Some animals make noise all the time. We had one, it would bark about every 5 min all night long. Some things don't need to be copied exactly from reality, though...

I'm not here to complain, but offer feedback. The howling detracts from otherwise brilliant audio. (stupid wolves keep stupid howling all the stupid time..)

They keep howling cause they want you to butcher them, their lives are over and feel trapped and yearn for the sweet release only one can howl their way into

Regarding your comment: I laughed pretty hard but the slow realization that what you said can be uncomfortably close to the truth quieted me down.

We just adopted a former breeder dog - it understands almost no commands except "No!", had no name, will not eat food from your hand, the concept of walking on a leash is foreign to her, etc., etc.


However, our rescued canine prostitute now has a name plus other words she's recognizing, is a complete cuddlebug, is progressing on leash walking, has eagerly met a few neighborhood dogs and shows great progress entering 'society'.

Since the boars convert to domesticated critters maybe the devs could make a shift in the wolves demeanor - at least tune down the howling once tamed. Maybe something like only when enemies are near.

dogs howl too.

My brother's dog goes off everytime a fire truck gets within ear shot or a plane with a whinny jet engine flys over.. hilarious most of the time but really annoying at night :)

How about because theyre wolves. U ever own a husky before? They do the same damn thing at night especially. Wolves are no differant if not worse, so i expect this in the game.

They don't do the same damn thing they don't howl every 2 seconds without sleeping how about that . You clearly didn't tame wolves in the game and have no idea how they works

+1 Less howling please. Real dog's don't do this, not even close. If your dog does this then it has a serious problem, like the owner is not paying attention to them, and telling the dog to not bark.. just has to be trained properly dude. Where's Ceser Milan when you need him.
