Devs... Sell your game rights to someone who cares.
Seriously. This game was really cool a bit of a time before. Right now - it's screwed.
I simple do not follow the logic of the devs. Food system was OK at the start. Right now you are choosing between really slow fat chubby viking who can't run a few meters in row without having heart attack, and pretty fast viking who dies in a single bite of a mosquito.
Just tell me, WHAT EXACTLY was wrong about old food system??? It was way too enjoyable?... Game was WAY TOO funny to play with it?... Ok, fine.
Weapon balance. Oh man. Mistland weapons and armor is ridiculously underpowered. Carapace seems to be a light-armor, cause even in description it says It has to be light. BUT IT HAS ABSOLUTELY SAME SPEED "BONUS" (-10%) like any heavy set of armor. Devs, really, do you ever read what you are writing?... Or there are two different teams, one is making descriptions and other one balancing?... Two-handed hammer has less damage than dark metal dagger. Yes, it makes funny explosion on hit, but WHO am I suppose to kill with it?... Greydwarves?... Crossbow could be ok, but you can craft only bolts with physical damage, what makes absolutely no sence when you have full spectrum of different magical arrows, that makes a bow 100 times better against almost any kind of enemy, especially armored ones like seeker-soldiers. Same with all magic stuff, It looks funny, but the amount of resources you have to gather simply ain't worth it's low effectiveness.
The only thing I really like - Skoll And Hati, but i still prefer different weapon simply because even lvl 2 are breaking after a few small fights, what makes them unreliable during long travels, so I have to use my good old black metal dagger with a shield.
Ok, let's pretend balanced will be changed soon, and weapons will become better with 3-4 stars upgrade of crafting table... It can wait. But what can't wait is mistland landshaft. All this peaks and mountains are insane. It simply uncomfortable to be in, breaking your space button, jumping like a goat. Well, it could be less disturbing if stamina regen wasn't sucking so bad. And mist... Oh my god I hate mist. Firefly only lights a small circle around, that doesn't help at all, especially when you are trying to navigate your boat - it's no use.
I really want to understand your devs logic. It seems you are adding "something" to the game or making changes without simple testing or thinking about consequences.
Valheim is a really good game, please stop making it worse. If you can't do something well - don't touch it.

Seriously. This game was really cool a bit of a time before.
Glad you like Valheim! I believe the game still has all that cool stuff that you like. Meadows, Black Forest, Swamps, Mountains, and Plains haven't been deleted.
You seem to dislike the ML content though.
You don't have to go into Mistlands. If you are a completionist, then complete ML and stay out. Don't use ML gear if it is so bad.
The dev's mentioned they would like to make all types of armor viable at end game sometime ago, pre-mistlands (about the time that Root Armor was released).
Example given: the Padded Armor mitigation from armor negates about as much poison damage as the Root Armor's poison resistance stats. Now, I could complain about how Root Armor is pointless if I wear Padded, since Padded is effective against all damage types, or I could look at the set bonus to skills from Root, the fact that it looks cool, or even that it is light armor and value my mobility and minor stat buffs according to my particular play style above Padded tanky slow viking.
+1 expansions is old WoW hat, amigo. Btw, your avatar looks killer! I love the Blood dripping orc face.
Anyway, I don't expect linear +1 progression add-ons. I don't want a game that outdates all of its prior content just because they patched some expansion in with the next +1 better stuff.
That +1 expansion hamster wheel is where everybody races to get the next +1 Best in Slot and then complain about lack of content. I pray that Valheim intends not to do that.
I do agree that it would be nice to be able to upgrade the new gear sets to lv3 or 4, it would be nice to have magic bolts, and it would be nice if I could see farther than the front of my longship in the mist. You make a lot of good points, have some sauce, my friend!
Player 1 has the control.

I've yet to see a game make a good working endgame armor system where 'everything' is viable. Even the ones that claim to do end up with videos on best and everyone uses 1 armor.
thats why ppl do +1.
thats why ppl do +1.

Or you can improve your skills, I play with the CreatureLevelAndLootControl Mod and increased the enemies to 5 stars, to have a challenge.

You're more than a year late to complain about Hearth and Home changes so no need to address those. Early access happens.

This makes no sense considering you need to go into mistlands to most likely progress after the biome. So no it isn't a "completionist" thing, it's directly in the progression, unless it is completely optional within the fully complete game, then it would count as completionist content, however it most likely isn't. This logic will fall right into the ground once the next biome releases and you need to go into mistlands to progress further. You don't have to go into Mistlands. If you are a completionist, then complete ML and stay out. Don't use ML gear if it is so bad.
