The terrain is a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ nightmare in this game.

[(☞ ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)☞]

Have the devs ever heard of flat areas?

the entirety of the first 2 areas are only hills.

In a game that has severe issues with vertical combat.

My man, if you're running into complaints about the dainty knolls and mild slopes in the Meadows and Black Forest, it's almost a guarantee you're gonna slam the uninstall button by the time you get to the Mountains.

Presuming you don't, ofc, give up the ghost in the Swamps. That biome's the first actual filter in the game.

Oh you´ll love mountains and mistlands..

To your question. Yes I think they are aware of it but it doesn´t seem like they want to fix it. It even seems like they deliberately use it to give enemies an unfair advantage.

Anyway, all I can say is learn to deal with it if you like the game. Lure your opponents to more flat ground.

Most enemies in this game can´t hit you while you are moving and sprinting for a split second the moment they initiate their attacks. Use this to position yourself so you can hit them properly.

If you don´t mind using mods there are some that aim to fix this. I haven´t tried them myself so no idea how well they work.

Links to the mods:

https://thunderstore.io/c/valheim/p/lashiernexusmodport/Slope_Combat_Fix/

Edit: I was curious and for testing purposes tried the mod from the second link I posted, the slope combat fix, and it works really well. I´m now even more baffled why the devs don´t implement this tbh.

The game has lots of flat areas. Meadows, Swamps, Plains but even those have some hills or obstacles. Use the terrain to your advantage. There are some creatures that can't reach you if you are far enough above them. Climb a rock or a ridge and use your bow or use a melee weapon that has a vertical attack like a pick or the special on knife or axe.

Rather dependent on your world seed. Some are far flatter than others.

Bruh what is this? Terraria? I don't want to be the type of player who runs around destroying biomes and creating arenas for boss fights. That's the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ dev's job.

he is going to freak out once he gets to mistlands.

Do you back fill copper and silver depsoits after you mine them? Clear cut an area to build a lodge and outbuildings? Replant what the trolls and elder knock down? Level all the abandoned cabins and replant grass?

Do you run around with the hoe flattening 500 yards of terrain at a time?
If you do, do you think that's a viable solution to an issue in vertical combat Valheim has had for three years?

If your meadows is cut up with a lot of rivers, causing a lot of steep terrain, then that's a random seed issue.

The solution is and always has been to maneuver to more favorable ground if you must fight, or retreat if you can't.

Aggro several more enemies basically.
Or the devs could just… Fix it..

The hoe only flattens a circle diameter 3 meters, so no. But I do flatten terrain around my base though I may have it terraced and on 3 or 4 levels. I build earthen walls for defense and raise earthen pillars for supports for bridges, I flatten a path to and from my dock and early game I'll make roads to and from my ouposts so I can use the cart. I've done landscaping around my IRL house I have no problem doing landscaping in Valheim.
