Completely new : Should I wait?

Freshly bought the game, played 5 hours, now reading comments about the negative feedback from stamina changes. No idea, I only ever experienced the game with the Hearth changes.

I definitely play for fun, with as little grind as possible. Should I wait for fixes before continuing playing?

You mean the whole Stamina system out of fights is removed with that change ?
Thats the point.
Its a annyoing system that adds nothing positive to the game, waiting is no challenge!
Take Running out of there as that massively effects combat as well and I might think you less absurd.

I still run out of Stamina from time to time, and yes i would love a option to disable the stamina out of fights, like running and using tools cost no Stamina if you are out of fight.
Since there is no such mod... it is what it is

I would even say i have harder fights, since the Stamina dont force me to make breaks, what result very often in a only 30% filled health bar

Nah. Play on through. This is the nature of EA games. Tweaks and balances. You'd have to wait until full release for it to end, which could be a year or two, or even more away.

Still fun and doable. Just have to prepare, watch your surroundings, and play it safe. Baby steps.

Stamina is annoying, but you get used to it and can beat the whole game fine. There's a lot of grinding in the game and that probably won't change with future updates. If you want to minimize the grinding, install the mod valheim plus as it cuts the grinding down a ton.

You can easily get about 100 hours right now, if you really love building and have friends to play with then probably a couple hundred hours.

Nah. The update was pretty underwhelming for how long the community was waiting, but it still made the game better, and it was nearly flawless before.

That being said, this is a grindy game. It might not be to your liking, but if you've enjoyed it so far, it's currently the best it's ever been and is likely to only continue getting better.

Nothing wrong with game, really. I started fresh and didn't die yet . Just remember to eat and watch what are you doing.
Only have leather armor and was in black forest few times.Even killed Brute and few shamans.
Use bow , upgrade what you can. Do not rush.

if you can stand it play further
If you can´t stand it, mod it

I use valheim+
* Axe = -90% usage
* Pickaxe = -90% usage
* Running = -90% usage
* Swimming = -90% usage
* Sneaking =-60% usage

There was a Day 2 patch that made the food changes slightly less terrible. As a new player, you won't be able to tell one way or the other.

As a veteran of the game though, this patch wasn't worth starting a new world for, though. That will have to wait for the Mistlands update.

Why even have stamina in the first place then? 90% less stamina use is so far cross the line that it makes the whole system pointless. Jesus Christ.

You mean the whole Stamina system out of fights is removed with that change ?
Thats the point.
Its a annyoing system that adds nothing positive to the game, waiting is no challenge!
