Can we get improvements on PVE? - Disruptive can be best one

Like:
* increase every animal attack range so we will not be able to outrange it with bronze sword/boar spear,
* when animal cannot find a path to player make it always use defensive maneuver or/and add some range attack (same as we have for mammoths)

Goal is to make players fight with animals on ground - that would force players to get used to lower their opening/learn combat a bit or from range - some usage of this weapons.
Now mostly every animal is killed from boat with script to be outside of animal range and it is not a challenge at all, with animals that will not find a path to player and will force use a defensive maneuver cheesing would be much harder - looking at mammoths traps/whale killing.
With increasing animals attack range to be always above existing weapons reach this will make players to bandy up or just gear up for a hunt.

It's very very cool, but I want to remind you, that you need to kill thousands animals to have progress at this game. Without complete overhaul, it's just make this humiliation ritual even more complex and painful.

What do you think about making realms more and EARLIER available?

pros: More smaller realms, more thingwall fights
cons: none

For what exactly you need thousands of animals? Getting a miner with str? Or just boost your stats with mammoth meat?

After this change it would be harder yet I bet more fun as you will need to think over how you approach a massive hunting vs now just boat and sideswipe/reaggro bot....

That would be great if you could start up realm with any metal bar or/and just any crown (dungeon loot/snakes)

Yeah and while we're at it remove the reaggro exploit too. If an animal wants to flee it would flee, not start fighting again just because the player gave an arbitrary attack command. Players should be forced to interface with the terrible blood trail mechanic or have a horse ready to chase down the fast things, maybe even organize a group to track down where that lynx went before it despawns. Every mammoth hunt should be an IRL week long endeavor with you and the boys.
We need to really hammer in just how miserable the "intended" pve experience is if we want to see any positive changes.

They can like 60% fix hunting by adding a tracking thing to the bloodstains, similar to scents, where you right click>track and it points to the animal.

I agree with making non-cheesing the standard, but for that to work, animal flight mechanics need a rework. Currently, once an animal starts fleeing, it’s often too fast to catch on foot. It’s frustrating to take wounds and armor damage only for the prey to outrun you instantly.

While hunting from a Wagon solves the speed issue and makes melee hunting easy, it doesn't really fix the core gameplay. For the passengers, it’s essentially just Boat cheesing in a different form—only the driver is engaged. To make ground combat truly viable, wounded animals should be slowed down, and the rewards should be buffed to justify the higher risk of injury.

2 requests.

Can we go back to the Old combat system. Like from W3. Sorry the fanatical running and cheesing animals blows.

and of course.
