leedsichthys needs to be looked at.

[Kortez]

The leedsichthys are supposed to stop people from just sitting out in random spots in the ocean making the game to easy right? In reality people are to scared to even move from land mass to land mass. If they had to take 5-10 hits to demolish rafts they would still stop people from sitting out in open water and wont stop most people from not wanting to use rafts. Can we get these things tweaked a bit?

They also seem to be regularly coming in a LOT closer to shore. Love spending hours creating an amazing raft base to have it demolished in one hit by Moby ♥♥♥♥.

How many hits do they take to kill a raft? The only time I had one hit my raft was when ragnarok came out, and I think I was hit twice and survived. I might have had a metal encased raft though. I was chased by one recently in ASA and noticed they swim at the same speed as the raft, so it can't catch you if you don't stop, assuming it comes from behind you. I was able to get to the shore without it hitting me. But yeah it's terrifying going too far from shore. I have fog turned off for performance reasons, but it also helps to see what's below you.

noticed that with modded maps on ASE alot. They would have almost their entire body sticking out of the water on the shore just to attack your raft

An Alpha Leeds swims faster than the raft, there is no outrunning it. One hit from an Alpha and it's byebye Raftie McRaftface. Building your foundations etc. out of stone or metal won't help either. The Alpha Leeds always goes for the juicy centre (the actual raft).

Yup, about 2 hits will end you. But if you get ambushed and you're not moving then good luck dodging the second.

You can use plants to slow them down though to help get away, but that only really helps when you're going full speed. If you stop I don't think the plants can save you.

If you are playing on your own server or single player just add this line to your Game.ini

NPCReplacements=(FromClassName = "Leedsichthys_Character_BP_C", ToClassName = "Dolphin_Character_BP_C")

I did get rid of them, but I honestly didn't want to. I'm not against them being a threat while out at sea, just not and instant death when encountered.
