Dinos Set "Aggressive" post Update

[Spageddie]

A lot of our dinos are randomly ending up on "aggressive" after updates even though we keep most everything "passive" as our base is fortifide. This has ben happening on occasion for past year and some of our dinos have flown out of base and fought to the death while we were logged. Submitting this as a notice to devs and if its happening to anyone else you are not alone.

Yep, can confirm that, was already hitting me quite hard, and the funny fact is, aggressive declaration has absolutely no notification sound, like that whistle upon calling or moving dinos.

Also wrote this on reddit back then. Still not fixed.

That sucks bro, I also whistle ; "passive" constantly so somethings up. I hit "T" sometimes but not long enough to cycle whistles by mistake, only when i need a dino to follow when they are in a ball and can't be moved.

Aggressive has no default whis: http://ark.gamepedia.com/Whistling

I'm not sure what update added it, I believe it was farily recently, but there is an "All Agressive" default whistle key, it's the - key. Note that that's the Subtract key on the number pad, not the - (hyphen) next to 0 on the main keyboard. Everyone can tell these apart visually, right? - -

Since Subtract is at the edge of the keyboard, the chances of bonking it accidentally reaching for the mouse are higher, too, which I suspect may be the issue in some cases, in others, perhaps an assumption that - and - are the same key ("All Neutral").

I unbind "All Aggressive" completely whenever I have to redo my keybinds, it really doesn't hae a use for me.

I wouldn't even get that close to a key, since my desk is quite large, but imagine this, while even playing on a controller, the aggro behavior is switching. It has absolutely nothing to do with accidentally hitting a key, and for another example, while taming, and doing absolutely nothing, my argy went full metal jacket and slaughtered everything near by ...

It is definitely a wrong class behavior inside the game client itself.

You probly have your whistle ordering groups screwed up. I checked my server after reading this yesterday and nothing has changed.

Look at them, read their status and see if it changes when you whistle.

Well, my desk has a slide out keyboard holder, and it alone puts the keyboard a good 5 inches below my right hand so I couldn't be hitting "-" on the number pad in any way. I will check my whistles in options and test them out on a lone dino away from base and get back with you.

I think you hold down h it will tell you what your whistles are commanding in the group.

i have no group sset up as well, and yes "Hyphen" beside "0" key and "Subtract" above "+" are identical but no way im hitting that side of keyboard but "subtract" is "all agressive" for the record unless I accidentally mapped it lol.

I am in a tribe of 3 on the center on a lightly modded map. over the past week we have had almost a dozen incidents of dinos randomly deciding to be aggressive and run off to kill a stray ptera, etc. any dinos on neutral automatically join in the fun. I'm going through grappling hooks like crazy just re-collecting all the wyverns... it's getting to be so we can't get any game progress done since half of our play time is sorting out a horrible mess of dinos. and at least one valuable dino is dead.

I am currently on a raft out of range of the main base with my dinos, trying to isolate the cause by separating from the others. today i had a monkey go aggressive, and a mosschops, not the other dinos surrounding them, just those 2 suddenly deciding to go nuts and try to break out of the walls. I'm at my wit's end. Does anyone have any fixes for this? Is there a single-target aggressive whistle that a tribe mate might have the binding glitched out on?

any ideas appreciated.
onset was about 1 week ago, and it's been extremely frequent since then.

I know right? its almost like "monkey see monkey do" I used to be able to log in feed dinos fine, now its fix this, put this back, by the time you are done. gotta go to bed (work in morning kinda deal) I know your pain my friend, seriously thinking about applying "ignore all group whistles" to everything lol.
