Now that the DLC is out I'd like to remind everyone that stealth is still unusable in Valhalla.

Ubisoft has done nothing to adress this issue, it's not even on their known issues list, so we can assume they just don't care. Detection speed is still highly inconsistent and gives players not enough time to react. The clap of Eivor's asscheeks still alerts nearby guards for no reason. Controlled descent (holding the crouch button) is loud enough for enemies to notice you. Parcour is too sluggish and inpercise to be effectively used for positioning in stealth scenarios. Ubisoft wants us all to play as epic Viking raiders so they force stealth players into open combat, which completly defeats the point of having an RPG system in the first place.

This is completely unaceptable. Valhalla's stealth is the worst in the series and it's an embarassement for this to even be possible after Odyssey.

Just wanted to report on some minor bugs that really drive me mad.
First of all, I constantly get the swoosh sound and the visual effect on my character which usually only plays when I successfully abscond from a fight. It plays every few seconds and it's really annoying. I'm currently in Vinland, so it might have something to do with my location, but I remember experiencing this too in some other areas. Reloading my safe didn't help.
Another annoying sound bug is that the music tends to get randomly put on loop forever, which gives me really unfitting and repetitve background music.
Also something in terms of balancing: Special abilities cost no stamina and can be performed even when the stamina bar is empty. Also, performing one refills the entire stamina bar instantly. Using a fast weapon like a dagger I can deplete my stamina bar with one long L1 combo, gain one bar of adrenaline, perform the harpoon impalement special ability to refill my stamina and restart my L1 combo. This puts enemies in an infinite stunlock and turns any kind of tough Zealot fight into a pushover. Either make the abilites cost stamina, fix the stamina refill bug or reduce the amount of adrenaline gained from the dagger L1 combo.
