The Homestuck reference is because I keep dying and for my personal amusement, not because of any repetition of the bug.
Anyway, I was hunting mouflon, having isolated myself from them by getting into a wagon and then aggroing them. I found myself surrounded by the wild sheep, and tried to get out of an then immediately back in my wagon to get them to move, so I could MOVE the wagon, but I was still attacked by the herd after I got back onto the wagon (which is one think that I think might a bug), but after I had been knocked out by them, they did not drop agrro and kept up the assault, landing several more blows until such time as my character died.
Anyway, I know that animals USED to drop aggro after my character was knocked out, even bears (which would hover over me, and kept attacking every time I woke back up), but I'm not sure if this is an implemented change, or if it is a bug with the animal AI; I'd REALLY, REALLY, like to get my character revived, because I don't think I have it in me to do all this grinding a third time.
