Ill keep this short, I feel completely underwhelmed by the agro radius of a bear. Bears sense of smell is one of the strongest in the animal kingdom; 7 times greater then a bloodhound.
Does anyone else feel that they are also underwhelmed by a bear? Sure, they are dangerous, but I can walk right by one with no problem. Discuss.

Re: Bears agro radius.
most bears arent actually all that agressive. soo, its not uncommon to pass one with you noticing it, and it not attacking you..CaptainMidget wrote:Ill keep this short, I feel completely underwhelmed by the agro radius of a bear.

Re: Bears agro radius.
As much as Id agree with you on that, if certain conditions are met the bear would easily attack. Especially if the person had food.Ukhata wrote:most bears arent actually all that agressive. soo, its not uncommon to pass one with you noticing it, and it not attacking you..CaptainMidget wrote:Ill keep this short, I feel completely underwhelmed by the agro radius of a bear.

We should have the option to climb trees if agro'd by an animal, it only makes sense.

i do think animals should be able to smell if you have food in your inventory, or raw meat.CaptainMidget wrote:As much as Id agree with you on that, if certain conditions are met the bear would easily attack.

it would be fun to use that as a bait too.
i feel like badgers always "smell" me because they always walk my direction when i'm trying to cross them and i end up having to run to not risk getting aggro.
and one of those fuckers aggrod me from pretty far away once, so now i immediately just walk the other way when i see them on my minimap.
boars and bears seem more stupid.

Re: Bears agro radius.
Aggro radius is entirely determined by your walk speed, and even then it's a bit chance based. Try sprinting near a bear, you'll see the radius is not small at all.
Some refinements on aggro mechanics would be ok I guess, but ultimately the mobs you find wandering around in the wild shouldn't be impossible to avoid. Formidable to fight sure, but beginners need some option to deal with them.

Re: Bears agro radius.
Are you sure on the walk speed thing? I can run, sprint or crawl right next to a bat and not be attacked. Bats seem incredible stupid for an animal that prides itsself on sonic hearing.Sevenless wrote:Aggro radius is entirely determined by your walk speed, and even then it's a bit chance based.
