Less / Reduced Stamina Consumption for non-combat activities

I mostly agree. There's no reason why peaceful activities like mining should use up stamina. You're just forcing the player to wait... why? They aren't (usually) in danger. Nothing else is happening. It's a pointless delay. Basically, as long as there aren't any alerted enemies nearby, stamina shouldn't be used.

I find it quit annoying that chopping, digging etc. consumes any stamina. Let us farm without the stamina pls.

The Stamina system is incredibly irritating! Every 10 minutes in discord i here some one say "God! I hate the stamina system!"
What am I suppose to do when mining, stare at my stamina gauge for 18 seconds while it recovers? You nearly spend as much time watching paint dry as you do mining! Every time I try Mining my blood boils when it should be one of the most relaxing activities in the game!

I think for the best experience stamina should only drain in combat and while gliding. It's not as annoying when running around the world, but it doesn't add to the game experience either.

Currently all activities cost stamina, which often forces the player to stand still and do nothing. This is boring and also pointless from a game mechanic pov. Stamina in combat is all fine, it regulates the usage of blocking and attacks, however stamina when cutting a tree means you just stand around and literally do nothing so you can play again. Also climbing and grappling hook action should be without stamina cost, as there is no gameplay value that comes with it, it's just annoying.

Exactly what Jeff said. Just drain stamina while Combat and Gliding.

Stamina should not be depleted significantly during resource-gathering activities like logging or mining; instead, it should be consumed when engaging in combat, such as swinging your sword. This approach adds intensity to fights while providing a more relaxed experience during gathering.

Remove stamina consumption while gliding and reduce consumption while farming

as you become less of a level 3 loser you will have better stamina and this becomes a non issue. also, honey and water, always

Stamina is currently the worst system in Enshrouded. It artificially pads playtime by making everything take exponentially longer than it should. Cut 1 or 2 trees and you are out of stamina. Run for a few seconds and entering combat at a disadvantageous state because needing to dodge will deplete your stamina, or attacking and needing to dodge. The map is huge and you are going to spend most of the time running and waiting for stamina. Especially when you need to specifically do running jumps.

Souls like games, action based combat that uses stamina systems do not have stamina consumption outside of combat for things such as running. I understand managing my stamina in combat is compelling. It is not however a fun or interesting mechanic out of combat.

Make what ever changes you need to mining and harvesting of trees to get rid of stamina consumption outside of combat.

Somewhat agree, for example you can climb ladders without any stamina reduction yet climb grating you stamina disappears in seconds. I'd only ask for a slight tweak, nothing too drastic

While a minor point of contention Its quite annoying with how much you need to manage your stamina during travel in this game when you reach a grapple point and proceed to have to plant down and do nothing for a chunk of time just to get across if its a swing.

I think the game would benefit from having the stamina drain while actively swinging removed, and simply making it so that you are not permitted to begin a swing while below a certain threshold of Stamina (Perhaps the same threshold that prevents you from initiating a dodge). This would prevent that obnoxious waiting period where you need to stop and plant your arse doing nothing until you get enough stamina back to not immediately be shunted off after starting a swing.

Alternatively, perhaps make it so that stamina only drains while swinging while there are enemies nearby. Either solution would solve the annoyance without opening up perpetual swinging for any sort of exploitation in combat environments.

Less or no stamina consumed for mundane activities and/or while in base. Digging and mining for base building or to climb cliffs or mining are currently extremely tedious.

Right now the main function of gliders is to help you land safely when jumping from a high location, although you can also cover some travel distance quickly this way. I really like this feature and enjoy being able to fly around while the glider gradually descends to the ground, but I feel like the fact that it costantly drains stamina while you're in the air is limiting, forcing the player to land early instead of trying to cover more distance by flight. Personally I would really enjoy being able to glide as long as possible without worrying to expend all my stamina and fall down. I know some players may disagree whith this, so perhaps if not removed completely it could be added as a toogle option when setting up the world.

The way the stamina system currently functions really just makes the game worse, by making most of the farming drawn out and boring.

i feel like the stamina system should be tweaked to consume stamina when doing offensive actions and not passive ones such as mining, attacking at the moment does not consume stamina and mining does i find this to be opposite of what it should be and very annoying as farming materials became boring having to wait for the stamina regen.

I'm lvl 18, got like 250% stamina with rested buff and alot of stamina reg, therefore I can mine for a long time with only short breaks in between.
If you're having issues with this, make sure to have the rested buff and maybe take a look around for sweets. I just unlocked sugar which offers +20 stamina reg for 5 minutes. That alone makes the stamina bar fill up in no time during breaks.

In an open world game with a lot of exploration, stamina should not be used to run around, jump, or do anything when not in combat. It shouldn't be used for mining. It should only be used when running, jumping, and performing combat actions while IN combat. If you have enemy aggro, consider that being "in combat." Take a look at Elden Ring as an example, no stamina use outside of combat. Take a look at Valheim to see why it's annoying. You use stamina for literally everything in that game and all it does is slow things down that don't need to be slowed down. It's not fun to stop and wait 5 seconds every 8 hits of a pickaxe. It's not fun to slow to a walk every time you run for more than 5 seconds when there's nothing else going on anyway.

I just made my own post about this without realizing this post was already made. I completely agree!

I agree with this 100%. The stamina system feels terrible in the game right now. You can do an action for like 7 seconds (at default 100% max stamina) and then you have to wait another few seconds to swing again, or wait til full mana bar. Basic gathering shouldn't use stamina, or should use a lot less. Only being able to cut 1 tree down at a time, or dig into the ground 5 seconds at a time feels terrible.

instead of stamina going down while gathering and running naturally. It should go down only when combat starts. Or at the very least make it less punishing outside of combat. We are flameborn not human in the game

I'm lvl 21 and got like 380 stamina, but it's still annoying imo.

i would also like to suggest no stamina drain on jumping after swinging. normal jumping doesnt take stamina, so this shouldnt either.

I was thinking something similar, the grappling hook is not used all that often (compared to many other games with such things in them) so having such a large stamina drain AND another when jumping from it it makes the use of the grappling hook more tedious than fun or interesting for the puzzle elements, especially when there are multiple needed grappling jumps in a row.

I'll second another mention as well that there either needs to be a fully different button for the grappling hook OR it needs to be far more specific when the game decides to use it because again adding to the tedium when you are looting, interacting, fighting, etc. and happen to click E its more than a little annoying when some random grappling spot you didn't even know what around (because there are so few) pulls you out of whatever you were actually trying to do.

Current implementation of stamina for mining seems fine. It's extremely easy to dedicate skill points to stamina, armor boosts, potion boosts, etc. Using a pickaxe is really tiring in real life. If anything, your character doesn't get tired enough. Asking for it to cost LESS just makes this game arcadey IMO.

If you run across the terrain and then jump off and try to glide.... you die due to no stamina. This is a really horrible gaming experience.
