3 attacked me while fighting Yagluth...which is also much harder now for a single player. The game is getting VERY multi-player oriented which is a real shame. Bosses really are not balanced for solo play at all. Seems like they could scale it some how.

I killed all after H&H and didn't experience this. Huh, interesting.

Players from before H&H are freaked out about Lox because they used to be a lot like trolls. They moved about as fast as a troll, telegraphed their attacks like a troll, and could be parried like a troll. Now they run up to you when aggroed which by itself is enough to get an old veteran killed, but because of the new block mechanics it's now very difficult to parry even one of them, let alone two or three at the same time. Was definitely a shock when I logged into my old character and went to the plains for the first time after H&H.

Is it do-able? Yes.
What happened to me was a death run after the boss ko'd me. I got back only to be jumped by the boss, 3 loxes and a couple of deathsquitos. I couldn't do anything to really thin them out, as I did in preparation for the fight initially. The 4 or what ever percent of damage/ hit points changed by the number of players withing a certain distance just don't level out right. 2 players, twice the damage done. 3 players, thrice the damage done and so on. Not to mention the bosses attention being pulled from player to player in mp doesn't happen in sp. The little changes to make loxes tougher (and keep Yagluth from falling in pre-prepared hole's to keep him pinned) make things much tougher for sp balance. It should be stated that I love the game and have hundreds of hours in it solo, and I know it's best played cooperatively, but these "updates" are making it harder for sp's.
Out of curiosity, did anyone else run into this with Yagluth and how did you guys fight him?

They seem way more aggressive lately, agreed.

Hearth and Home updated lox.

yeah, seems to me they're more sensitive than they used to be. I don't think I'm THAT close when they come after me.

i agree they seem super curious and hard to get rid of
