I didn't like the stamina changes and still don't.

Stamina regeneration rate needs to be more of a factor, not just the stamina pool itself.

They're going for a kind of "Dark Souls" vibe with how they designed it but the regeneration rate plays more of a factor in that. Like, how much carry weight, or items you have play into it more.

There are few things that effect regeneration in Valheim like being well rested, and meads, but there are more debuffs than buffs for it in the game.

Overall, I think they should eventually refactor the stamina system and weave regeneration rate into the meta more. Ether from food, or wearing different types of armor could play into it, rather than armor just effecting movement speed. As well as how much weight you're carrying.
