Angry Boar.

Post by polonisament »

Sooooo... Its the second time that i lost a char to a rushing boar, they are a little more angry on this world 5, i think, maybe they could at least not try to kill will 100% of the time they engage combat with you right?

They don't always kill. Luck of the draw, move on.

But its like that, on world 3( maybe 4) i was attacked by boars more than 20 times, never to be killed. I think this "luck of the draw" is a little lower.

I think (i didn't play in world 3 so im not sure) that animals didn't use to murder back then. But seriously, download ender's client and you'll never die to a bear again. If you walk that close to one with not enough combat skills to kill it, you probably deserved to die.

he told you how to avoid that situation before you posted it. using Ender's(maybe other custom clients as well) there a huge red circle around aggressive animals so you won't have to worry about them sneaking up on you. another thing you could do, get a boat. boars can't swim so no need to run away.

You probably meant to suggest to make boars more deadly. This is supposed to be a survival game, but the status quo is that there is no natural danger out there anymore. The only thing to fear are players.

Unreal world had similar issues when I played that. The wild starts off difficult and the clunky UI makes it tough to get into initially but once you know what you're doing, the only threat you have is raiders who attack your encampments. Even then, with walls you can nullify them just about 100%

Swimming bears would be a first step.
