Put simply, the same bug that has existed for months is still around. Upon death by melee (I am unsure if ranged attacks will cause this as well) any adult Rhinos killed will immediately launch into the air and sail several dozen meters away in the worst instances before landing. Attempting to harvest them with a cleaver or skinning knife will often cause them to jump a bit further away though not to such extreme heights or distances.
Please provide a step-by-step process of how the bug can be reproduced. The more details you provide us with the easier it will be for us to find and fix the bug:
Fight an Adult Rhino (and potentially other large creatures such as mammoths)
Kill them with any melee attack
Watch them go flying away through the air until they land somewhere.
Bonus: Attempt to harvest them and watch them jump a short distance away again in some instances.
Definitely! I built my first base at the oasis outside of The Den for easy access to initial thralls. When the rhino I killed for meat rocketed over the fifty foot wall and landed at my doorstep, my initial thought was:
I have always found this “feature” to be hilarious.
What wasn’t funny was when the red mother flew about 300 in game metres the other day. She wasn’t any where to be found at the landing site. Instead she magically returned to the spot she was killed.
Same with elephants! its one of those amusing quirks. XD
Dragons do it now with this update…but they go hell’va far like MR. T was tossing them. I launched one over a wall in Nameless city, and go go fighting thru skeletons for 5mins to get to corpse, LOL
I also enjoy watching them fly up into the air and bounce upon death.
Interestingly when playing with my clan-mate this past weekend we killed a couple of rhinos together… we both saw them bounce but the rhino ended up on my screen at a different location to my clan-mate.
I ran over to where it was on my screen. He ran over to where it was on his screen. He was quicker with the skinning knife than me and harvested where he was standing. As I watched the corpse in front of me just disappeared but before I had a chance to try harvesting it.
My clan-mate said that to him it looked like the rhino had bounced twice and ended up where he ran to harvest it.
The boss spider near the Black Galleon did that to me a while back. Flew right off a cliff and it seemed I was sliding forever to get to him. Then, to get back to where I started …
One of the most hilarious bounces was when I finally found Shendelzare at the Black Galleon. I whacked her unconscious with a truncheon, and she launched straight upwards, out of sight. After several seconds she landed - luckily still on the ship, and luckily still alive.
Unfortunately getting knocked out caused her amnesia, so now she doesn’t remember how to craft that anti-gravity device anymore.
I once shot the spider demon queen through the eastern green screen. Didn’t realize it until i green screened. Saw body underwater, swam right on through it
