anomalous troll event possibly behind boar genocide
Ok so this happened:
Yesterday, i was back at base to get some materials for my current project (a House of the Wolf, on top of a crazy large mountain, to honor all those puppers in the ten or so frost caves i cleared there) when the Ground Shaking event started.
I saw one troll, quickly dispatched it... and the event immediately ended O_O
I thought little of it, and carried on with my work: portaling back and forth from the mountaintop to my base to get lumber from the surroundings.
I immediately started noticing a heavier troll presence than usual, many of them starred: apparently all those that had spawned during the event were now just roaming the usual way.
Suddenly i was attacked by a two star, killed it... then went back to base to find one of the perimeter walls breached and my ENTIRE HERD OF TWO STAR BOARS REDUCED TO AN EXPANSE OF MEATS AND LEATHER.

They had been with me for so long... some of them had names :.(
I swear to Odin, no Troll will have peace for as long as i breathe.
Anything similar ever happened to you?

I have noticed lately that critters from events seem to wander off and will show up game days later just out making trouble with the locals. This has happened w sertlings, trolls, draugrs and even wolves and drakes. It's like they spawn in so far away from my base that they get distracted and forget their job, and wander off to bother the locals. It's especially annoying in the plains. Will find wolf meat miles away.

they should really add something less meta than workbenches to keep monsters at bay. Like, scary totems or somesuch. Or an advanced variant of the Odin statue: the Thor statue, that acts like a sentry and zaps enemies.
I realize i could just make a massive wall of earth (trenches are not an option since that base is practically at sea level) but that'd be kind of an eyesore...

Here is one problem - as soon as the raid starts and you leave the area, it interrupts and when you return, the monsters respawn :-(

Same thing happened to me 2 days ago. Friend wanted to play before I was ready, so I launched server and AFKd. Came back to a drake in the house! Went scouting about to see the damage and every single boar was dead :(
