SmokyProgg Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 First off, three spawned at once on day 5 or so, which is unusual compared to the normal game but may be intended. The main issue is their melee range, which I'm hoping wasn't intentional as I was getting hit from half a screen away, making it impossible to kite their melee attacks. I was forced to run in immediately after his coconut attack for a few hits and run back, causing him to throw more coconuts. It was an interesting fight, but the range is a bit overpowered and very nearly killed me as it was unexpected.

Sammywn Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 I had 3 spawn on me on day 16 or so from a collection of only maybe 10 trees in the area total. Could've just been bad luck as I know there is some randomness to it but still a bit **** haha.

lindenbrock Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 This happened to me as well, but i spawned myself a fire staff and used that. Not sure if this is also a bug or not, but they continuously set each other on fire until they all died.

Matt7 Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 Got the same bug, with the melee range. Day 5-6, 3 spawned 1 of each size Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/59725-bug-jungle-tree-guards/#findComment-692402 Share on other sites More sharing options...
CapyChristian Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 The melee range is something we're looking into but being attacked by THREE of them is definitely intentional!

That actually works well in my opinion, it's just the melee range that makes it arduous.

ProfMembrane Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 The melee range is something we're looking into but being attacked by THREE of them is definitely intentional!Ok, well I'm not sure how to fight them, because their attacks do too much damage to tank, but you can't kit them because while one is winding back one of the others' is swinging so there is no time to get in and out.

Lighting them on fire makes them panic and just dance around like a buffoon instead of fighting Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/59725-bug-jungle-tree-guards/#findComment-702161 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rlyehian Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 You mean Palm Tree Guards? Seconded, I do not believe that Jungle Tree guards are implemented yet...... It was an interesting fight, but the range is a bit overpowered The melee range is something we're looking into but being attacked by THREE of them is definitely intentional! Like many things in Shipwrecked, a different style is necessary for many challenges than some people are used to in vanilla DS, or RoG. Palm tree guards are one of these things. While their melee attack range is HUGE, they are also stupidly slow to reset, and both the ranged and melee attacks are on the same timer.Therefore, it is easy to simply wait for the ranged attack to be thrown, run in, attack 4-5 times, and then run out of range. You then wait for the next ranged attack and repeat. There is more than enough time using this method to get away safely and take no damage. Another hint is that running in before the projectiles have been launched is a bad idea, since you want them to target away from the guard (not near the guard where you will be) Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/59725-bug-jungle-tree-guards/#findComment-702817 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProfMembrane Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 If there were one, sure, but not three of them,, their timers aren;t all the same so the time you have to run in and attack is short to nonexistent.Seconded, I do not believe that Jungle Tree guards are implemented yet......
