2. Poison costs WAYYYYYY too much, 250 silver is extremely expensive!!!! No logical person would pay 250s unless they are very high leveled stats where it takes 5+ singling logs to max a stat!
3. Snakes are EVERYWHERE!!!!! Considering how overpowered I'd expect these in the darkness; or at the very least as common as a bear! I'd say they are currently more popular than Deer!
4. Faster than walking!!!!!! (If im running away! clearly I cant win so why top it with inevitable death?!)
5. strikes!!!!!
1. Can't comment on this because I haven't experienced that bug. o_O
2. It should cost a lot considering the rare ingredients that goes into it - but yes, it's somewhat overpriced. It should cost less than 250s for sure, but no less than 150s.
3. It's the second least spawned mob for me, behind dears. Of course, it depends on the biome - if you settled in a biome with more snakes than bunnies it's time to bounce off.
4. Faster than walking, yes. Faster than running? No... You aren't running constantly, you got toggle abilities that let you run or walk fast - you move faster than a snake even in wanderer mode.
5. Auto-aggro is good, it's one of two of their weaknesses - if you had to strike it first to aggro it you would risk getting poisoned way easily, if it aggro's you first you can take it out much more easily without great risk of getting hit. I find myself more often frustrated about it's slow rate of aggro than the other way around. o.O
I kill a snake or two each day, and so far I still only use unarmed combat against them, mixed with some patience which is why I don't intentionally go hunting them yet. My yellow bile is just 14 so I don't one-hit them, yet I only gotten poisoned once since the wipe, which was an AFK moment. I'll increase my snake hunting rate once I got fencing, and might get into serious antidote production to sell to players once I get firearms. Snakes aren't that bad, I'm sure the devs could come up with something way more sinister than that. ;3
