So basically I spent roughly 3+ hours walking/wandering from boston to find the perfect spot for my settlement. I get agro from a snake (unprovoked of course) and after "wandering" from it i waited for it to despawn but due to the "in combat" i ran out of phlegm so I had to walk now this isnt all bad, granted I cant stop moving nor out run the snake but the snake has to pause to attack resulting in endless misses. I could carry this out until I reach water as logging out would be the same as KO (Combat log?) however I get a pop up saying "sorry to disturb..." trying to close ASAP so I could NOT be KOed but of course it was too late... 3+ hours wasted as I must once again start over.
So whats the problem?
1. Snakes should NOT auto-agro
2. NPCs should NOT fallow you past 1 screen length! (2 at most, but endless is overkill)
3. If you are not attacked nor attacking for 20 full seconds (30 at most) you shouldn't be considered in combat. (maybe make it 60 seconds if you attack, 30 sec if you WERE attacked so not abused)
Now to walk 3 more hours
