I started playing Valheim in the very first day of release. I was totally amazed by the chilled and self explaining play style. Of course I nominated this game for the "Game of the year" award. It was for me. The rather slow development of content in the years that followed were not a big drawback for me. But when they implemented the abominations in the swamps they showed me the door. My game play experience was totally ruined by those creatures that just tow out time when I gather the iron for my main playing content: building.
The final kick in my face I've received with this Mistlands disaster. There is a lot of work to do imo. I still love playing the game. But I avoid that boring and annoying "new content".
They started with a game like a 5 star dinner and give us now with Mistlands a bucket of lard.
