I didn't think the Mistlands was really any different from any other biome when you first go into it pre-nerf. I had fully upgraded padded armour and the new armour doesn't give much of a boost beyond that at level 2. Once I learned the attack patterns of the mobs, it really wasn't that difficult, you had to just be careful and poke your head in and have portals set up... You know.. the kind of thing the game has basically taught us to do.
You just had to avoid being completely overwhelmed but that stuff happened in the swamp, mountains, plains etc.

The Gjalls were annoying but hmm.. It was just like every mini boss in every biome you just say "uh oh" and avoid if you're not prepped for it. Now they're just so easy they're no longer a threat. Trolls were difficult right up until silver gear for me, even then if they caught you off guard during a raid they could destroy me. I don't know who whined to get it nerfed but I don't think it was necessary. Just be prepared and use all the skills you've learned since the beginning of the game.

I don't believe you lol, trolls were hard till silver ? Bruh, you either playing with cheats or playing with friends. No way you were able to play mistlands without chesee or cheats like that. You can parry a troll with bronze buckler, trolls are usually solo. Good luck parrying more than once before your stance breaks. 3 seekers, one solider and 3 or more ticks running at you while that flying turd is spitting fire at you lmao

lol, seriously? What about Mistlands was hard? How was it hard? It is super easy to parry Soldiers, they don't climb... kill seekers first then get the slow soldier. Parry and dodge not even hard to time it because the soldier attacks have long windups kinda hard to miss a dodge or parry unless not paying attention, and then who's fault is that? The devs? What is hard about mistlands other than there are not enough infested mines and dvergr boxes to farm soft tissue?

The Gjall's are stupid easy. Like pop fire resist and hide behind the billion large rocks to avoid damage then snipe / kite it. It's slow and dumb. The rabbits don't even attack back...lmao... how is mistlands hard????

Yeah the devs have no idea what they are doing. They don't know what type of customer base they want. They give in to folks saying it was too hard by making it a joke. Meanwhile Dark Souls games flourish. The devs had a real chance at making this game legendary by just putting more effort into communicating with players and getting real feedback by people other than "builders". Yes Valheim is a great builder game... but thats not the point of the game, its survival. Mistlands pre-patch was fine - minor tweaking needed, sure, but this nerf is just mind boggling.

They should just throw in a creative world option, where you can build all you want without the "hassle" of enemies. Seekers circling around us in mistlands just doesn't function. I've seen seekers getting stuck sidestepping left to right cause they didn't have enough space to actually move around. Mistland was fairly difficult but not THAT difficult, now it's so easy but more tedious, i mean why choose annoying and tedious over actual fight mechanics, i don't get it.

yeah they nerfed it ridiculously lol. Not the brightest....

The enemies are outright broken because nothing was made to actually allow them to navigate while "circling" players or give any sort of improved behavior for gjall so they don't come to spear-stabbing distance with their pathetic single-bileball spits.

Is It a nerf or a fix to be the way that was originally intended 🤔 what you call a nerf I call a good fix we each have a different opinion on the matter

Lol you needed friends in the infested mines? Sounds like you needed the nerf more than anyone else, infested mines are easier than outside and outside was already easy, now it's just not tedious.
