[Suggestion] Animal AI needs an upgrade
I know that this is way easier said than done, but there are some weird behaviors currently. Deer walking right up to you then freaking out and running away for no reason. Deer just randomly jump in the middle of walking, which is funny because it doesn't stop them getting stuck everywhere. Not to mention they suffer from the 10 second alzheimers after getting shot in the head.
Bears locking on to you from across the map and charging towards you only to stop at where they "should" notice you and forget you exist for 1 second, then going right after you again. Or spawning behind you? And I guess not noticing you until you turn around and see them like a cartoon. Then as soon as you look at them just chilling out then suddenly the hate you and you're lunch.
Wolves would rather set themselves on fire and walk into spikes to get to me than eat a baby deer right next to them.
The goat turns into a racecar at the slightest thing and runs to the border.

XP-Zzyzzx MergedAnimals have significant pathing issues with terrain elevation changes.
There are often clusters of animals trying to path over small rises, or get out of rivers/lakes at places they cannot. Sometimes the approach of a player will scare them off in a different direction, but many times they just continue to fail at pathing forward. Even attacking them does not always make them run, leading to exceptionally easy hunting. -

Mike Bryant MergedThey should travel in groups and respond when one of their pack is attacked. Sometimes this happens in the arctic but it feel pretty rare. In the desert, hyenas were no threat because they were almost always solo. Sure, in low level areas, have just a stray mob. Once you get to high level areas, make them travel in packs.
