Every patch people be tinfoil hatting about grey dwarf spawns. It a Valheim classic now.

Playing on test build, certainly feels like more greys are everywhere. Very annoying

Playing off existing world. I didn't see anything on it, but I'm noticing a drastic increase in their spawns as well. I never had random troll spawns either, outside the event ones. Now, I'm getting them with the greys too. Not as often, but definitely at some very inconvenient times.

In my experience there has been an adjustment to prior spawn amounts, frequencies and locations. In the location (on 2 separate map seeds) where I built my main base, just over 1 year ago, there were a few boar and deer spawns along with greylings, greydwarves and skeletons. I placed a few packs of 2 star wolves around the outside of my defences and for the first 6 months or so I was occasionally feeding them. Around March of 2022, not only did the frequency of all the aforementioned creatures spawn rates increase, but the locations of where they spawned increased. I am not exaggerating when I say the deer were literally respawning behind me after killing them. It got to the point where I no longer fed my wolfpacks and had to cull them constantly.

I remember when I first started I often had to wait a game day or two for the boar & deer outside my defences to respawn in the location I had marked on my map. Now they respawn repeatedly throughout the day in many more locations than they used to.

I loaded an old world on to test branch and now I have a shaman and sometimes a brute hang around my meadows base in the middle of the day. (That save has killed Moder.) So, yes something has changed.

In an old build I just let the wolves free roam outside my fortifications. They would stay around base and some wander. I'd find some a looooooong way away, just randomly wandering with some pups around. Was pretty entertaining to see how far they would wander out away. Of course too, there were tons of dead mob loot around from them as well.

It might be the seed. I've been in seeds where on the very first day I found a full squad of dwarves (brute, half a dozen greys and a shaman) patrolling the meadows because there was a tiny patch of black forest around.
But yeah dwarves are so annoying with their "slap you in the back on the neck and run like a c..." strategy.

What I did in one of the worlds I made was to dig a big pit and "SPARTA!" greydwarves into it so the game doesn't spawn more in the area.

I built a base in the Black Forest next to the Mistlands so I can explore. I put work benches all over the place. They spawn non-stop and I can't go more than 2 minutes without another one attacking my base. I know they are going to agro even with the workbenches, but I was hoping that if I killed what came, I'd get a break for a few minutes. Guess I need to wall it off.

Pretty annoying especially with their absolutely atrocious AI and random running around in circles that makes absolutely no sense. Let's add more of them to the game!

Build walls.

Since playing on mistlands update the dwarfs are like soo much more in numbers and constantly being more of a pest. nothing in patch notes about it?

Curious: Did you make a fresh world or use an old one? And are you playing on one where you beat bosses already?

I'm not playing the PTS, so no clue if there was any actual change.

You can say that again! I just start using AOE weapons while letting them come to me if they feel like running. I hate chasing them around while fighting. Aegtir (sp?) is my favorite for the stun then crit on them turds

...because they just weren't annoying enough before.
