I've died more times in this update than I have my entire time playing Valheim

I'd say making this game difficult was a success because it feels like the sneaky archer is the only viable option.

early game isn't really changed much, it's just late game when the enemy count ramps up. Even the most expensive food isn't that strong. Especially since I see a lot more higher level monsters now. 2 star fudlings and wolves. Lox companion does help but they die pretty fast from flying enemies.

Is light armor fencer/rogue still viable or are tank and archer kinda the only real combat options now? I thought bucklers would make speed more viable but the stats on those just look like weaker roundshields with no obvious use.

I agree, we have been playing with at least 7 other people and we all hate this update. The stamina thing was already annoying and it's basically impossible now to go anywhere because you get ambushed and die unless you fell like slowly plodding everywhere like cows. Super lame. Think we may all be done now. We were playing every day and now everyone is back in Overwatch and doesn't want to log into this game anymore.

fencer/rogue? this isnt an mmorpg with classes you are locked into...

Gotta call it something, and the archetype is wayyy older than MMOs.

It.....really isn't that bad. Haven't had issues, but then I tend to farm and upgrade equipment a little before exploring. Plus fire arrows aren't that hard to get and they kick ass in the swamp.

It's because stam is so unbalanced you can not multi-task. Running drains stam way waaay too fast.

People with high running skill ( 70+ ) have not that problem
