[Bug] Heavy Wolf Spawn at Entrance of Artic Biome
Wolves need to be adjusted or moved further away from the artic and forest entrance as you can easily farm them from a Rock that you can climb but the wolves can't. Resulting in a far to easy gain in exp.

Zach MergedWolves are constantly spawning and attacking. I killed about 15 and I counted another 17 attacking.

Storm543 MergedThe spawnrate of the wolves in the snow biome is to high if you kill al the wolves in the area where your standing which are like 8+ wolves they are respawning back in like 30 seconds and you are back where you started or you will be killed.

Cameron Mulhearn MergedWalked about 3 miles into the snow biome and killed some wolves, started to place building down, wolves respawn ( this only took about 2-3 seconds ), buddy and i kill the wolves, they again respawn in the same time frame as before. This goes on for about 10 minutes, wolves make the game unplayable in the snow biome with the current respawn rate/ timer!!!!!

MortisALso resulting in repeated deaths due to constant spawning..... Wasn't trying to stand on rocks, just trying to get somewhere. Far too many wolves.

Nick MergedAs soon as you enter the arctic biome, there are an excessive number of wolves that spawn extremely fast. I killed 27 snow wolves in one area until I ran out of ammo, then killed a bunch more (stopped counting) with my spear. Killing one in a pack seemed to aggro 3-4 more, which makes sense, but since there were so many in the area and since they spawned so quickly, as soon as I killed all the packs the first one would already respawn again. It would be a great xp grind, but having to cross the area became annoying more than challenging since it was a non-stop, all-the-time, constant snow wolf slaughter fest. I was later killed by a polar bear and couldn't reach my loot due to the high number of wolves that had already respawned and were clustered tightly in the way. In a group this would be annoying but doable, but it's really not conducive to solo gaming and due to the extremely high number of wolves I think this may actually be some kind of bug or glitch.

Woz MergedWent alone and no repops at all empty grid areas- went back to camp. Came back with 1 friend. only 2 on server. We had 20+ wolves in front of us across J13 and J12 Killed many with rifle, bow, knives. Estimate 22 dead wolves. Then we had 12 repop behind us towards J13 when we are in J12 within minutes of clearing. It was like automatically repopping packs of wolves.
Feels like an absurd repop time. Challenge is there if you can find a way to kill 40+ wolves in 5-10 minutes. We ended up hugging the walls in stealth and went back out to our I13 Base. It was just too much thou. Fur/Leather/Bone/Meat is not a problem anymore. We have a plethora of it. -

Tim FAdding to this, the spawn rate is way too high. I was exiting Arctic, sat against a wall and watched them constantly respawn. There was 10 walking past me at any time.

DreamRar MergedThe wolves/bears respawn way too fast in the snow zone, impossible to move forward without being surrounded, I died 50m from the mammoth because of a bear that spawned in my back 10m from me. It would be better to fix this problem, because otherwise it is not possible to advance without being more than 2 players, in solo it is almost impossible!

Iulian MergedRight now the respawning of animals work very weirdly because they can respawn behind you at any time even a few steps away (it happened to me many times). If you go to an area and you see that there is nothing in that location, and you walk past it, then look behind, you will easily see 3-4 wolves out of nowhere and even a grizzly/polar bear. What is wrong with this invasive spawning system?

Baz MergedThe number of wolves and how quick they respawn in the snow biome is completely broken. We must have killed 100+ wolves in one small stretch. Needs reducing heavily - a pack of wolves is one thing, but to have so many keep spawning is beyond silly.

sKRiBELThe wolves are a bit excessive...

Rhal MergedWent to build a base in the snow area and got about half way to the end and tried to set up a base. Wolves nearby would respawn as fast as they died. Ended up with 40+ wolves bodies piled up before we gave up and quit because they just kept respawning instantly and charging us even when out of sight.

Immanis MergedI spent the last 5 minutes killing over 15 wolves in one spot. Every time I killed one another one spawned in. Even getting back to my base (which I'm just below, as it's on the cliff in N10) I find 2 wolves and 1 spawns directly in front of my eyes after I kill one. Then a 4th comes and attacks my house 20 seconds later. I highly suggest a timer before carnivores can spawn in to check out a corpse, as the player ends up killing dozens of them in mere minutes like we're in L4D2.
Also, as another report mentions, wolf spawns right before the arctic are insane. I killed 9 wolves just walking 20 meters over there. -

NorbuThe wolves at the arctic entrance at k10 are spawning way too fast!
I killed 3, harvested the first and by the time I was done with the first, the next 3 attacked already, and so on...
I barely managed to sneaked away before I ran out of arrows. -

dan MergedI have a building on the edge of the artic zone. The respawn rate of wolves (specifically) and bears seems VERY high. As I was skinning the 6 previous wolf kills, another 6 wandered from where I was just at, and that cycle would not stop.

roberti wanted to add to this as I'm done with the beta weekend 3. I didn't get to spend much time (maybe less than 20 min) due to the crazy amount of wolf spawning. I tried the gangbuster method of running. I tried the sneak approach. I tried killing them off as I was in stealth mode, and not. Tyring with a buddy helps but they come right back as soon as they die. I get that they are pack animals but a 10-20 minute respawn rate might work in some of the areas. Also, the size of the packs at one point we had over 8 attacks.

DodforerI have multiple screenshots like the ones sKRiBEL had in his post but what is the point in showing more. I think what's occurring is that as soon as one is killed another is being triggered to spawn at the nearest starting path point. Simply put, if you wanted people to test the artic area, this wasn't the weekend for it. Did anyone actually make it in? Maybe you should remove that spawn and add another day like the last beta so people can actually get in and test some things because as it stands now, the next beta opens a whole other biome and we haven't even been able to test this one to any meaningful extent.

SageNo problem with running into wolves throughout the arctic, and the occasional pack of 4-8 is a dangerous, but fun encounter. What is not fun is when wolves are spawning faster than you can kill them, as they appear to be attracted to dead bodies. We would often not even have enough time to clean or move our kills before the wolves had respawned, often less than a minute.

ChadworthyTWO DOZEN WOLVES at the entrance to the biome, then barely any further through the biome all the way to the mammoth.
Not even joking, all our weapons were broken and we were out of ammo after killing all the wolves, at least 20 wolves. -

Bogdanye.. played 2 days, solo, 'bout 8h / day, gathering mats for mammoth killing ammo, killed a few polar bears and dozens of wolves, just to die with 150+ rifle ammo and 100+ shotgun ammo, because of crazy wolves re-spawn.
Also the hp regeneration is quite low compared to this aggro animals re-spawn. After a night sleep you should get full hp back, I been 3 ingame days with a smidge of HP, every time it got a little high 3+ wolves attacked.
I know this is a survival game, but current solo play when traveling long distances, to gather resources (iron and copper) and go for mission (had to work a maze of 20+ map tiles to get near the mammoth) is kinda killing the fun and fulfillment feeling.
Ok, I make a stone base, I enjoy building it for 4-6 hours, but when trying to do anything more advanced, for solo play, it's too grindy! How many stone bases will I build? I will get bored with less than 10, then stop playing... -

SpookAlso really bad along the J13, J12 and J11 entrance to arctic. High density of wolves that respawn within seconds. I built my base in J13 and would regularly get attacked by waves of wolves. Sometimes as many as 20, spawning faster than I could kill them.

PopsInSpace MergedThe Snow-wolves spawn at to high a rate. I have had approximately upwards of 12 wolves at one time with only 4 survives playing. They are coming in waves to high to be fun.

IulianUnder consideration? This is a very bad bug...wolves spawn behind you after you killed 15 of them. I have broken the bow multiple times at the start of the arctic and it wasn't a simple bow...it was the best one from tier 3...

Cory JamesI like the high spawn rate, but maybe have them come from caves that you can block up the entrance.
Wolf packs are exciting to survive! Best bit of content in the game thus far surviving 8 wolves in an tiny house half buried in snow (not enough mats for a proper roof) huddled by a fire in the corner with wolves at the door. -

Кепка ШахтерThe spawn rate of wolf in arctic biome is too great. Go to snow biome for prospect. Kill lots of wolfs more than 20. Find cave have rest build large chest there because there were to many loot. Go out and try to go father but can't go further because kill 6 of them another 6 coming unable even to skin all of them. In 1 hour i have more than 700 fur from wolfs. Try just go and shoot non stop, only got killed because there to many and they coming from all directions Front, Back, Side. Unplayeble for solo at least. If there party out of 3-4 people maybe.

ChillenThe wolf spawns are way to much now they spawn in packs. In BTW 3 we it was a small issue as there would be 6 wolf spawns that only spawned 1 wolf. Now that they spawn in packs get that 6 and multiply it by 5 and that's where you start to get a picture of how out of control the wolf population is. I ended up killing so many wolves just to get to the satellite that I reached the level 30 cap with an xp debt just killing wolves. I counted up to 30 in one area, that's no pack, that's a swarm.
I get there needs to be challenge, but that challenge should be focused on battling the harsh climate and lack of recourses in an artic biome. Not battling through an army of wolves.
