MOAR BOARS (Please no)

[SanTelmo]

So, after scourging the mountains for few days now, I've noticed the amount and variety of spawns refreshing. Except the amount of Razor Boars is ridiculous. There are packs of 6-8 razor boars and I can tell you, it gets bloody nasty when 4-5 of them begin ripping you apart at the same time.

Also it makes no sense that on one area there are 20 razor boars and 5 other spawns. So please, could the amount of these spawns be turned down and perhaps the numbers in the packs lowered a bit?

And yes, it was not only once or twice when I witnessed 8 boars in a pile.

[Capricious]

I think a lot of these cases of numbers of spawns are due to high level stealthers moving through the area. The mountains have been rather well traveled of late. When you go up there shortly after a reset there's near nothing. After a few hours the number of spawns becomes pretty crazy.

[Relinquish]

Also any other spawns around the razor boars, get destroyed. And it's alot easier for a PC to drink an invis pot then to fight them in most cases.

Razor boars tend to kill the other animals yes. Easiest solution would be to have mist ogres fight them!

[FishyBusiness]

Mist Ogres are actually torn to shreds by Razor Boars, Naga.

[TheImpossibleDream]

Mostly because of the poor running ai which is good vs pc's but useless against other npc's

[SanTelmo]

No. Because the boars are so strong. One or two guardians can't hold back a 6+ headed tribe of razor boars. Even if they have a mage.

Anyway, I'd imagine if you make the razor boars to spawn alone (not in packs of three as I think they might spawn currently) it will cease the massive amount of them and they will not be able to crush every other creature there.

[TheImpossibleDream]

Exaggerating much? The boars are strong, but equally so are mist ogres. Mist ogres do superior damage and have dr making them immune to wounding effect and reducing the damage they take. The boars have +15 ab and hit for about 15-20 damage on average but haven't a massive amount of hp.

If the ogres actually attacked them instead of running or standing still and taking hits. They would easily kill one another off.

The boars are about on par with mist ogres strength wise in summary.

Keep editing rather than posting, the boars spawn in three's from what I've seen. Mist ogres also spawn in three (or two and an elder) problem is their AI causes them to run wildly about the place fragmenting them.

[FleetingHeart]

They typically kill things simply because the AI does not handle Bleed effects well. I can reduce the numbers though in the future if they really are getting out of hand. I'm surprised if they really are though, considering their spawn rate was increased only marginally.

[lolmagics]

I've seen literally 30 of these in one-way trips to the northern part of the island. They can be in groups of six or more quite often.

[putrid_plum]

I have to admitt I often saw 3 or more on the mountain side killing everything in it's path, including mist ogres and orcs.

[Disco]

There has been alot of them lately. Imo replace some boars with more ogres.
