Heya

Stomp still deals AOE dmg and can 1 shot bats with enough yellow bile which i had. Get your facts straight.

I think you are just mad you got killed. I understand that completely. Good mechanic or not the fact still stands that you are one in over a thousand who can't deal with 1 bat. No one has posted about this particular feature other than you since bats have come in game. If they have I can't remember and would welcome someone to point it out.

...

I think this thread might be better suited for Ideas if you want to change how bats work. I'm not entirely sure it's a bug unless the devs can confirm it for us. As many people have said before that they got use to dealing with bats.

There was a lot of discussion surrounding bats when they first appeared. There was even at least one nerf which halved the max blood they drained per tick in "Nubs are in Season" in Mini Update #6.

It's a crazy situation!
How can I understand that the bat on me?
I've lost all my weapon, because it drops when I was down in a first time.
You told me what to do, but I respavn with empty inventory and with bat on head without weapon. After I take off the bat it kick me again immidiatly.
This stalemate... Rather it is my death forever.
...
I'm laughing hysterically!

It doesn't immediately reattach to you.

Seems like at least one other poor soul complained about the speed at which bats reattach to their victim. It seems you didn't believe the report, however.

you died while being inside the mine? didnt JC say you only die while under the bloodmoon directly(when not inside a building or mine)?

It does do AoE but it also agros everything in that AoE. The bat agros and reattaches before you damage lands. Please get your mechanics straight.

There was indeed a nurf, you however didn't read what I said. The other thing you quoted is quite old and I didn't have the same experience with bats at the date of that post nor time invested in mining like I do now. So as I said, 2 post so far out of thousands of people playing. Bear in mind that what you quoted is from the start of the bat "issue".

He more than likely KO'd with the bat on him then KO'd again when he respawned.

All we can really do is see what the devs think of the situation on whether it is intended or not. I'm fairly interested to see if they has been a unintended mechanic with bats the entire time that only a few have questioned or just how AI reacts in this game.

If you actually tried to read what i said you would figure out that i specifically said that the bat REATACHED almost the same moment after i took them away from my neck slot therefore making me unable to attack it.
Why are you defending the premise that bug does not exist and everything that happened was intended /players fault. Or in this case mine.
As i see there are couple of people saying that mechanic does not work like intended . Or it works but its badly designed.
I can feel that my ban is incoming. Heaven forbid someone says something bad about a tiny part in the game.

Yeah i died inside a mine permanently. Unfortunately ..

But you said you tried to kill it with stomp. I and a few others were just saying we thought this was how bats are suppose to act.

There is no baning because you said something bad about the game. Lets chill out and see if JC can see whats going on with bats.

This however would be a bug. You are not suppose to die inside a mine. You only die if you are under the gaze of the blood moon.

I suspect he died in the mine. Respawned on the surface, then died again to the bat.

And yes it is intended that the bats 'reject' your attempt to pull them off for a certain period of time, and occasionally latch back on to you faster than a roundhouse kick can conclude.

Maybe it was another bat, it tends to happen, if you were at mine level 2 wait for lower mine levels, the lower you are the more bats appear. You can kill them easly with a halberd
