I had a couple of trolls (in game, not internet haha) that completely wrecked 2hrs of work yesterday after I had found and tamed two boars. I ran out as soon as I heard the music and attempted to distract them and it was like they were literally set on going straight for the boar pen because they both went there and smashed everything in 2 seconds despite me trying to distract them with arrows. Was SO frustrating.

Technically you lost two hours of play, but I get what you mean. In the context of the game, it was work.

The trolls were targeting your boars. In the last patch before H&H, 0.156.2 "AI tweaks: (Monsters should always target creatures [including player] first if they have a clear path to it and monsters should only attack low priority structures [walls, etc.] if they are trying to get to a player.)"

Ironically, if there has been an uptick in the rate of attacks, it was meant to make "work" more exciting and fun.
