Endlessdescent

Took a break from TLD for a while and just came back, started a new Stalker character. Have played Stalker for around 150 hours previously, but one thing I noticed this time were wolves and bears seem WAY more aggressive on Stalker now. Has this changed in the last year of updates? It seems like any predator chases down my character on site from 100 meters even with 0 scent. At one point I killed 3 wolves within minutes of each other as they all attacked leaving my cabin. 22 days on this character with 46 wolf attacks, have killed about 20 so far. 2 bear attacks, and usually I have to go out of my way to run head first into a bear. During an aurora, had wolves running at me from across my field of view which could not even initially see, as if they spotted me through terrain. Also have had wolves continuing to charge even after being shot at, where I thought before firing a shot was always enough to send them running. Seems really strange compared to what I remember.
