I have about 8 tamed wolves guarding my base. the howling is aggravating, but less annoying that having to rebuild constantly.

I haven't yet experienced this, but are you telling me that they will attack a structure even if they do not see me?

If that is the case, that is a very dumb change. That would mean that moats are now useless if drakes attack during an event.

Can anybody confirm or deny this?

With this patch fun factor went from 10 to 2 for me. Does irongate not want this game to be popular? Maybe time to play something else for a while....

Well, crippling framerates didn't stop people from making giant wicker structures so they had to resort to more drastic measures.

Im all for more aggressive and smarter monsters but this patch just made them dumber. I stood there while the brute happily turned his back to me and attacked a fence.
That said ive had a few brown pants moments with golems and trolls ripping down buildings to get to me inside.
A bit more tweaking is needed

Another vote from me. Look at my post history for more on what I think about it. Short version:

This patch is stupid, nobody was asking for this, the devs are slowly making the game worse while ignoring obvious, easy, intern-level fixes.

Yeah. I dont like casual games and would enjoy some experiense when i need to defend a base, but... while i stay in my house i can hear lots of hits outdoors. Its 4-6 dwarfes attacking the fence, and some lisards attacking my boat same time. And i have to go around my base every 5 minutes and clear this mobs with 1 or 2 shots with stone axe and not even repair fence. Its just annoying. Kill this weak enemies to stop noise outside. Feel like im killing nervious insects. Was better few month ago when i played game 1st time.

The incessant drake attacks that last way, way too long finally forced me to use a mod to just turn off raids. They just aren't fun, and they don't add anything to the game for me that either aren't already there (reasons to leave your base to explore; we already have reason to do so) or add a useful challenge ("build defenses" doesn't work when there's nothing that can defend against a certain kind of mob; e.g. Drakes).

I have to agree on this. Since the patch I have repaired and rebuilt my structures so many times it's not even funny anymore. We're these tweaks really necessary? Monsters literally run past us and attack structures now.

Or just slaughter everything that comes close to your base manually.
