Bird A.I is really annoying now

    The birds are complete bastards now, They will chase you down and wont stop unless you kill them or go underground. They are a nightmare to deal with especially at the start of the game and not to mention when you're fighting another creature you sometimes get swarmed by 2 or 3 birds. I liked the old Bird A.I they would attack you if you were close then fly off unless you hit them and i liked that, now they are just more irritating then anything.

    Deleted the pic, was no need for.
    But seriously, there's a whole bunch of topics for that already.

    Only post i saw was about how powerful the birds were and that's not my point, my point is they shouldn't chase you down because there's no way to ditch them unless you go underground. So sorry if this has been touched on already I'm sorry but the birds are killing this beta for me, they are 80% of my deaths so far because they wont leave me alone.

    I'm happy with the Bird AI. I like them being bastards.

    2 birds and another creature is too much?

    I dig it. I think it's fine. Doesn't bother me. Getting tired of people complaining about birds, I don't get it

    It is at the start of the game when you don't have an iron bow and only can do 5 damage... So yeah it is. You get hurt so much more and i just blow through bandages 3x faster then before because of the stupid birds.

    Oh man, these hostile aliens on this planet I'm invading are attacking me! I wanted them to just hand it over like South America. Why can't I be the Spanish Armada? FIX IT NOW!

    I'd be cool if SOME species/random mobs were more aggressive than others, but its sort of a downer if they're ALL just super hostile or super passive. Would love to see varying degrees of aggression other than ON and OFF.

    They're not powerful, you just suck at dodging that's all.

    They seem balanced to me. I don't want to come off as mean but maybe you just need to spend more time learning to dodge and less time complaining?

    I think we will see more variation on enemy AI as the game moves on, this is just a placeholder for now I would think/hope.

    Not what I'm saying but whatever people are stupid what can you do right? I'm saying there was nothing wrong with the Bird A.I before the patch and it was a good system, I don't think you realize how many birds there are in the world the fact that i cant walk 5ft without getting attacked by birds constantly is stupid.

    Just started out on a planet..had two birds following me.. was unable to reach them and had to run. Running led me into ground hostiles..was unable to take on all of them....is a bit hard to start out o.o

    third character on a new planet, either I am super unlucky! or the birds have a huge aggro radius and never ever stop chasing

    A lot of us talked about this in other threads:

    Yes the birds are douche bag's now. Alfred Hitchcock has had his revenge, Angry birds.... blah blah... Big Bird with rabies... yackety smakety....

    The birds are overly difficult now, I think the dev's are already working on it. But yeah, for a lot of us they were swarming in packs of deadly unkillable automated air turrents that killed us dozens of times while trying to start out.

    Granted that I'm more than cool about the overly aggressive birds (due to my preference for hard difficulty settings in games), THIS idea would actually be more reasonable.

    Hah, you found those too? I hate those birds...
    What makes it worse is that even after they're dead, they'll try to fall on you. and they'll still hurt you.
