Posted September 3, 2022 So this is not the first time it has happened to me, the first horse sadly died to the Croc that was attacking it, before I noticed what was happening. After he died it did not cross my mind to save pictures or log of what happened. But yesterday it happened again, this time I saved print screens of the logs and also information about the horse. I was mounted on the horse when it happened, the horse is branded, was NOT tamed and I cant find any reasonable explanation to why it the bear attacked the horse instead of me. This time there where two Black bears that aggroed at same time, since they are easy to deal with I looked over to my Priest alt's client, so I'm a bit unsure about exactly what was going on until the point where I noticed the horse getting attacked. The last time this happened, with the horse that died, it was a regular croc, and I was already fighting it and it was hitting me when it suddenly swapped and started attacking my mount instead. If there is any intended game mechanic that is making this happened, please point me in the right direction, I have tried to look but cant find any explanation myself and if there is something I should do to protect my mounts, that I'm not currently aware off, I would love to know Not sure if it's of any interest, but adding another picture of the Inspect window of the horse, since I was out on a toon that don't have the required AH to see the traits.

Posted September 3, 2022 (edited) Sorry to hear about that, poor Halpick! Unfortunately hunter animals will still attack mounts that aren't tamed if they're hungry and it's in range. This isn't a bug, best way to protect is through using bardings Edited September 3, 2022 by Archaed 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 3, 2022 Is it just me or there's 2 and 3 misc traits on your screenshots? How do you lose a misc trait? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No one I have talked with about this could think of the reason either so happy it got pointed out Yeah he did not have a barding at the time, will for sure finish sorting barding for my mounts now! Will also keep in mind the hunter mobs from now on, no more looking at the other client just because it was an easy black bear lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can't say 100% for sure, but Im guessing its the bred in captivity. Since the toon with low AH sees the horse as a wild one, and the bred in captivity is counted as a misc trait Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 3, 2022 if so... seems like faulty code.. skilled player see 1 view, the unskilled another.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 3, 2022 (edited) its not faulty code, the missing misc trait just got moved up to the top "About" panel area Edited September 3, 2022 by Toeol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks for posting this thread. For me, I never (almost never) put barding on my mounts, since it slows them down. Even cloth barding significantly slows a mount. I do have cloth barding on one of my horses anyways tho, lol. I prefer being able to run for my miserable life (lol). So what I try to remember to do every combat situation - point my horse in the direction I will want to run in case things go bad. This way, if I get low on health, or if my horse gets attacked (I listen and watch for this always), I just hit x, and run away. Once ur away, don't come back w/ that horse to that monster. Even ur horse will initiate the combat if u go back to that particular monster, once the horse was initially attacked. Anyways thanks post this thread, and omg so sorry ur horse died 😞 Edited September 4, 2022 by TeeeBOMB 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
