The new stamina system is fine. It just needs several of its costs rebalanced.
-Rolling costs way too much stam, especially in heavy armor.
-Climbing costs too much stam, especially when wearing no armor and carying nothing except meat and a waterskin.
-Losing all your stam when getting dismounted off your horse from an attack is a death sentence in any armor but especially in heavy armor.
-The delay for stamina to start regenerating when doing nothing is too long.
-Waiting to regen stam wastes too much time in any armor. Standing around is boring.
-If the idea is to have us carry stamina regenerating drinks to mitigate how long it takes to regen stam, please remove the decay timers from them.
Hopefully future updates will bring some adjustments to the new system.
Thanks,
