PC Dire wolf in GS mid-30s?

Was in this one map and on day 3 had a pack of 3 dire wolves spawn across the street from my POI base in the pine forest town. Watched my wife run right passed them and they killed her pretty fast lol

Tier 5, as in the same as Army Post 7? I mean, it's a take, but I do see a bit of a difference there?

I basing this purely on how deadly a dire wolf is. If it's a "chance" to spawn, that is bizarre in a tier 2 POI. A boar is NOTHING compared to a dire wolf. I'd gladly take on 6 boars than 1 dire wolf. You can't outrun them unless you slow them somehow. They are just SO deadly in a confined space unless you've got a chain shotgun or something similar.

You shouldn't be able to get a dire wolf indoors unless you are in the wasteland IMO. In the forest that makes no sense. I have run into dire wolves during the day in the forest on day 2. They shouldn't even be in the entity pool of possible encounters that early at all. Hopefully they dial this in better. They have like 1500 HP which is 8x+ a typical zed. Or basically the total zeds you would encounter on a tier 2 POI quest. It's just unbalanced is all. Now MAYBE this is due to them being in a group and that pooled the GS or something. That is the only way I can imagine this is "justified" but I don't believe GS is calculated this way for POI quests.

I ain't disagreeing that it's a massive jump in difficulty; but I don't think it makes the POI comparable to any of the T5s. Now, should one ever be placed in a low tier POI? I dunno, it's a death sentence for 99% of first timers; but I'm not sure that's necessarily a bad thing in a horror game :)

I haven't skipped killing one for a quest for .. several alphas. Killing one at T2-level is a skill issue - and by that I mean discipline, knowledge and preparation, not reaction time.

I dunno, I grew up with games intent on getting me. Repeatedly. I don't mind some elements of that. Makes overconfidence an issue at least..
 
It does seem very unfair, unbalanced but you could probably stand a chance if you went in with a decent supply of wood spikes, which are available early game and they would at least wear down a lot of the dire wolf's health.

In any specific way? It seems to work about the same as the old forum for me. Reply button for a single quote, quote button to multi quote. And you can highlight text and click quote to get just that text. The only real change there is that you don't get a pop-up to write highlighted text.



I am pretty sure I have seen it there. You usually get pigs. In the past, you could occasionally get a wolf instead. Now, that would is a dire wolf. That may be a mistake from the change. But I like it.

Nope think it was operator error,.

The reply button is pretty straight forward, which is probably what I should have used. The quote button I don't think I had used before and probably my error.

Probably.

The +Quote button (the plus is important) is for multiple snippets. Once you have captured them, you can insert them from a button below the text box (your reply text). From there you can comment on them like I'm doing here ;)
