August 16, 20205 yr I just wanted to draw dev eyes to a survey and some thoughts from players on Reddit re: Wolf spider nerf
August 17, 20205 yr Curious what was actually nerfed, their first attack takes like 95% of your health. Am I missing something?

August 17, 20205 yr Current results. I said no cause i don't really see any changes to them other than what the patch notes said. They still slaughter me like they always have, no change there so i wouldn't call this a nerf. Xbox One X
August 19, 20205 yr What nerf? Wolf spiders still destroy me like they always did. If there was a nerf I don't see any nerfs. They still have insane aggro range. One bite is 3/4 of my health in Acorn armor the next bite kills. And you still have to down it fast even in lady bug armor. Or your spider food. They can destroy you in 3 to 4 hits maby 5. Having to rely on blocks and stuns. I'm confused what this nerf was supposed to do. Does that mean the spider uses stealth less often? Not really a nerf. Edited August 19, 20205 yr by Yoshuren
August 19, 20205 yr OP probably just wants the stealth setting reverted I don't think he was referring to an actual nerf. Wolf spiders do need a nerf IMO the only way I can even tank a hit is if I use full lady bug armor and even then the poison will lower my hp to just a slither. This is on Medium as well probably can't even tank a hit on Whoa.
August 19, 20205 yr the only change they made (documented anyway) was they stalked you less. no change to their attack or defense. there was no nerf Xbox One X
August 25, 20205 yr Author Yes, I was referring to the removal of the 'stalking' mechanic as the nerf. Wolf Spiders are still deadly as can be... they used to actively stalk you based on grass movement, noise, or some other undisclosed criteria but if you a saw a wolf in your area you used to need to GTFO because he -would be- on your trail shortly. With them reverting to line of sight aggro like the orb weavers, they are not the panic inducing terrors that kept my head on a swivel they used to be.

It is not a player adjustable setting, it is an AI behavior that the devs patched out. I miss it as wolf spiders were ACTIVELY looking for you not waiting for line of sight aggro like all the other aggressive bugs.
August 25, 20205 yr well yesterday my buddy and i successfully walled a wolf spider into a porch pocket... we named him harry. he eventualy broke out as we were making wall repairs got stuck and we had to put him down. but he lasted a good 4-5 in game days
