What is randomly killing game?

Post by cyrus9586 »

In my travels i have seen foxes killing rabbits and squirrels. But I have found badgers,foxes,boars, even deer just randomly dead. No one around, no one hunting, this is in the middle of no where just a random dead animal. Any clue whats killing them?

noobs hunting with a sling for moves discoveries mostly...
for deers they come by 4 and take 15 sec to kill so you kill them all and come back later ...

I've seen foxes aggro badgers a couple times. I don't know if that's intended behavior, but the fox got his ass whooped nonetheless, so maybe a couple of them are from that playing out.

But most of the foxes, and certainly all the bigger animals, are dying from people grinding combat moves from animals. Some folks will kill an animal and leave its corpse. Which is a boon for any newbies in the area, or people who otherwise can't/don't hunt. Personally, I make sure to at least skin every kill I make, and then throw any meat/bones/etc. I don't need into the water for fishermen/beach-combers to find.

Sometimes a animal will run away and the hunter will lose it, and then it bleeds to death.

or I find a bear and leave a boar/deer/anything else.

never thought of moves. I doubt slings/bow as these will still have full Q on em. Well still nice lucky bonus to find a boar when out hunting for decent food stuffs/curios.

Could be players, i sometimes go around killing things without taking em home, just because boredom of walking between questgivers.
