Hounds howl for too long and their attack is too weak

[Jov]

On my first encounter with the hounds, I listened to their howling for what seemed to be minutes. While this did manage to build up some suspense (and gave me the sense that I was surrounded and being closed in on), it still seemed a little excessive.

Then, when they finally attacked it was just two beasts. By the time the second one came, the first was dead and then a couple more swings of my spear and it was over!

What I think would be better, is if 2-3 or even more came charging in all at once, like a pack of dogs truly would. They are easy to defeat, so as it is right now it's all build-up and all let down!

I´m at day 125 and just got attacked by 6 of them. There number grows with time so patience Sooner or later they are going to kill you if you are not inside your fortified bunker.

Hmm, interesting! Well, that sounds good, but I still think their first attack is all bark and no bite.

Wait until the red ones attack you. We'll see if they are all bark and no burn then

Yeah my first encounter with them I thought they were beefalo... I was mistaken when i found them. They were actually overall easy to defeat but the second one started my on fire and it has been 20 days since that attack an no more came.
