| Summary | 0004673: Shadow bats and shields | ||||
| Description | The current AI behavior for the underground shadow bats doesn't mix well with shields. The shield correctly blocks their attack from damaging the player, but the bat both gets the vampiric bonus to their own health, and goes into the running away for a bit before attacking again behavior (which can be exploited). Maybe they need to be the first shield penetrating enemy? | ||||

That part of the behavior is actually correct, because they're winding up absorbing stuff from your shield. But, their cooldown after a hit needs to be lower, I imagine. And their AI needs work in general, as noted in other threads. |

Good enough, sometimes I'm not sure whats totally intended or not =p. I definitely do like the shields, just really changes the complexion of some things drastically, so readjusting. |

Yeah, for sure -- the shields have been planned for a long time (I kept bringing them up in response to various things like ice bats), but they're definitely a fundamental shift in what is actually playable. And I do have worries that some exploits with them will be found, but knock on wood here's hoping not. ;) |
