PLEASE Fix Mosquitoes

[Same]

All the other bases besides oak tree and middle you cant go because mosquitoes are all over the place, hit you when you zip line and when you land they attack with such a range its not fun. Are you telling me that when I want to go to my other base I have to kill ALL mosqs before and in between? WTF? Give my some spray or sth ok but like that, the game is unplayable for me Im sorry :( Do I overlook something or is it just "tHaTs HoW thE GaMe is" :O

? Mosquitoes are the easest things in the game to kill. There Ai is sooo Dumb,

I play on the hardest mode in the game, and Mosquitoes are just super easy to kill and farm, with a Tier 1 Bow not even upgraded,

Place down some Blue print walls, and they dont know how to fly paste it,

Its sooo funny, you can put up Blue print walls, anywhere at anytime, and place them near Mosquitoes and just endlessly farm them without them even able to reach you

I've never been hit by a mosquito while ziplining in over 400 hours of Grounded, even when using some of my ziplines regularly aggroes some.

You should probably build your ziplines a little higher.

They've also already "fixed" mosquitoes by lowering their tether range and preventing them from spawning in the grasslands until you've turned in your first superchip (after which you should definitely be capable of fighting them).

I have never been attacked while on a zip line ever... I suppose you need to build your ziplines taller I'm surprised they work at all for you if they are so low you are drawing aggro.

Also yes Mosquitoes are absolute garbage they are easily the least fun thing in the game. They constantly fly out of range so you can't melee attack and some of their attacks have almost zero wind up so it's hard to parry them. I would absolutely use a shield when facing them. I am also surprised at how tanky the mosquitoes are as in reality they are incredibly fragile. I wish they made them very low HP but would attack in groups.

I have one zip line that goes over the mosquitos on the south shore (west side) of the pond. It's actually pretty high above them, but they aggro every time I zip over them.
I lose the aggro and never even see them (unless I'm looking down as I go past), just sayin'....the aggro range for them is actually pretty far when you go right over them.

The zip line has to be pretty low and also slow (not very steep) if they are actually catching up to you on the zip line though.

No they don't? They only have three attacks, the normal 1 hit one, the "spread wings, do a backflip, sting once" one and the "sway side to side, 3 sting combo" one, and all have plenty of lead time and loud sound cues (buzzing).

As for dealing with them i'd suggest poison. Mask of the Mother Demon with widow chest & legs kills them just fine even if you only hit them once or twice before they're out of range.
Early game your best bet is throwing spears.
