So....I stupidly decided to try attacking a Zombie pig, which quickly resulted in my death. I was okay with that though, because I figured I would just never do it again. Now everytime I go into the nether I get mobbed by wave after wave of Zombie-pigs. If i had known they would NEVER STOP ATTACKING ME I would definitely not have attacked in the first place.
Is this a bug...or is this something Notch actually intended to happen? Don't get me wrong, I really really REALLY love the new update. It is pretty much amazing. This is the only problem I've found, and its a pretty big one, considering that my nether is more or less unusable now. Has this happened to anyone else?
i accidentally hit a pig while putting out fires to stop them from immolating themselves on my front porch and screaming at all hours of the day and i just turned it to peaceful and back and didn't have any problem.

For as long as the grass grows
For as long as the stream flows
And the sun shines down unto us
Only they who walk the clouds know
For how long the winds blow
And the sky is blue above us
This, plus the placement of my main base portal(s) relative to the Nether has caused me to pretty much write off my most developed save.
Every portal I build is on this huge, 1 meter thick platform over 9000 meters above the endless lava ocean. Constant bombardment by ghasts has turned it into a pockmarked deathtrap, and blood hungry pigmen only add to the deadliness. After dying so many times and not having recoverable gear (due to the bug) my main save dude is now reduced to stone aged technology. Mining in the poshest mines with stone pickaxes and leather armor. . .classy.

And I want a monkey butler. Just because you want something doesn't mean you get it.
Pigmen will ONLY go hostile if they SEE you hurt another of their kind. If you manage to kill the group around you without too many others seeing you, no more should come to attack, so long as none spawn while you're fighting.
Or rather, this happened to me. I only had to contend with one or two, and the rest ignored me, and still ignore me. So if you manage to either kill them all off with fire, or a ghast, or trap them with lava, they should eventually whittle down to non-hostile ones.
If you can find (or dig) a tunnel before the angry pigmen kill you, you should be able to use it to lure the ones that hate you away, and kill them out of view of any still-neutral ones.
You know what I think. notch mentioned goblin villages, and these pigmen look out for each other, maybe they are something like starter goblin villages

Surprisingly enough, it's actually the Ghasts who incessantly scream.
I turned it to peaceful and then back again, and everything was fine. Definitely learned my lesson though, and next time i feel like killing one, maybe i'll lure it away from the others and stuff it in a trunk
For some reason, for me, whenever pigmen walk into fire, they act as if I attacked them and I have pigmen rushing to attack me from areas of the nether I haven't even seen yet. Their damage also seems to ignore armor. I find no difference between being decked out in diamond armor and completely naked when fighting them.

I'm fairly sure armour is broken for everything, not just pigmen.
It *could* be that The Nether is acting like other games where when you leave one level to visit another, then go back to the first level, nothing has changed in the first level because it was merely saved whilst you were away and time was not progressed. So, perhaps the position and "current attitude" of all the mobs was saved and you just stepped straight back into the party.
This seems like a good hypothesis. It makes logical sense, the map is saved in the same way it is when you save and quit to title - its just like going to another map.
I also have some anecdotal evidence that supports this: furnaces.
I was using furnaces on either side of a portal. It became clear that the furnaces in each world only progressed when I spent time in that world. While I was in the Nether the surface furnaces did not cook.
I think enraged pigmen just need some time to forget (or despawn?).
Try entering the Nether from a different portal and waiting inside the Nether but away from the ragers; it seems to work for me.
One time, however, I was hanging out with peaceful zombie pigmen at a portal inside the Nether waiting for a huge group of zombie pigmen at another site to calm down a bit. One of the raging pigmen found the path to my location and started attacking me. I defended myself which enraged the other pigmen around me. It seems that there is no tribe but merely a set distance that zombie pig men can hear the cries of their wounded kin. They dont need to see you as suggested in other threads just be close when violence is perpetrated against a pig man.

I think.
all of this happend to me, about 5-6 pigzombiethings at the same time, i died too many times to count, at the end the ghasts saved me...
and then i died, again.
Mobs die of old age after only a few minutes. The replacements have a fresh attitude toward you.
