Rant about Valheim
1. Whats the point of the Bronze spear? It doesnt add more range, it doesnt deal more damage and its 2 handen.
2. Why do wolves do as much damage as a troll, have endless stamina and chase me trough half of the world?
3. Why does everybody have a slight knockback on their attacks but the player doesnt?
4. Why can anybody block my attack effort with their attacks and my attacks doesnt seem to bother enemies at all?
5. Why are wolves so ridiculously strong (id rather figh 3 gigantic trolls than one wolf) and walk up huge distances from the icemountain into the meadows?
6. Why do 3-8 Greydwarves spawn every 15seconds when i try to mine?
7. Why cant I hit enemies that are standing 5cm above me?

1. Not 2 handed, the back stab is decent. Throw is kinda cool.
2. Mountains is 2 biomes above black forest, it needs to be more difficult as you will have much better gear by then.
3. Some player weapons do have knockback.
4. Gear too weak. Shouldn't go anywhere near a mountain with bronze gear.
5. Wolves are fast and will chase, plus ^
6. Greydwarves are a nuissance but avoid mining at night.
7. Shoot them.

The simple answer to all your question is that the game is in early access so every single thing you mentioned is pound to be changed or updated.
1. I hold spears myself for the Aesthetic, makes the character look powerful haha. Other than that I read somewhere that there will be a combat update eventually in their road map.
2. Wolves are wolves... Very fast and deadly, they are faster than humans so surely you will lose your stamina and they won't.
3. If I were to guess, I'd say to keep the game hard and avoid spamming? If you were to knock back, the enemy will have to re-position back towards you in order to attack but you won't give the enemy the chance since you will keep knocking them back.
4. Hopefully the combat update could fix that but the game is punishing so I'd guess that is the current reason.
5. Wolves are wolves!
6. I hate that as well, hopefully they fix it at some point. They even spawn when building and it can get annoying dealing with them every few seconds.

1. Spears are 1 handed as far as i know, and can be used with a shield. Currently use a Fang spear with a shield.
2. Wolves are a much higher tier of enemy.
3. Because enemies get knockback added to their attacks to make them more challenging.
4. see point 3
5. Wolves are biome 4 enemies, Trolls are biome 2 enemies. Meadow -> Black Forest -> Swamp -> Mountain -> Plains
6. Because mining attracts enemies... this is for every biome.
7. because your swing must actually connect with the enemy to do damage.

I'd like to respectfully disagree with this point. I wasn't a big fan of swamps so I mined enough to summon bonemass, killed it in bronze gear, went to mountains and geared to wolf gear while skipping iron. Not claiming it to be the best route but mountains are perfectly survivable in bronze. 4. Gear too weak. Shouldn't go anywhere near a mountain with bronze gear.

Probably night time. Why do 3-8 Greydwarves spawn every 15seconds when i try to mine
Build a campfire or a few and they will stay away, some will attack the campfire but i'ts easy to repair on the go.

Wolves having great stamina makes sense at least.
Now that I think of it, swapping them and having wolves in the black forest and trolls on mountains would make some sense as well.

7. And what about lower enemies? Stabbing downwards with a spear and not hitting a Neck is painful. Attacks should be aimable.

6. yea, its just annoying. They aren't a thing anymore, just like flies to me. Just leave me alone.
7. I wish there was angle aiming of my swing. Its really annoying in the mountains when you sometimes can't find level terrain to fight wolves on.

1. Not two-handed, cheap to make, faster attacks, can be thrown.
2. Two biomes harder by difficulty, has less HP, have no damage resistances. All enemies have infinite stamina, but Wolves are also fast, so its hard to lose them.
3. Blunt weapons and all two-handed weapons have knockback. Halberd-like weapons in particular have an alternative attack which is large AoE with strong knockback.
4. Utterly false. Your attack can stagger enemies with enough damage, which interrupts their attacks. Succesful parry with a parry-capable weapon or shield guarantees stagger, which also interrupts their attack.
5. They don't unless provoked by Greydwarfs.
6. They spawn way beofre that and are attracted by noise. Mine during the day and sleep at night.
7. You can.

So much this. I REALLY hate how many Greydwarves I have to kill every 10 ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ seconds while mining or doing anything really. My axe breaks before my pickaxe does!!

As a spear wielder I know the pain. But thats when you switch to Frostner and smash it.
