Bat Holds Aggro Past intended point

[kilakan]

After foolishly attempting to shoot the new animal in my cave-home with a bow, at the same time as my friend the bat of course attacked me. We exchanged a few blows before I went down, and then the lone bat continued to attack me. It seemed to do a defense move, followed by two attacks the second of which killed me. There was indeed only a single bat aggroed to me, as I was paying attention to the list of attacking things on the top right though I was too panicked to take a screen shot. (Doing about 15 HHp damage in the first swing, and 45 HHP damage on the second swing which was a killing blow)

After I was dead it proceeded to immediately attack my friend who had also aggroed it until he was ko'ed though it at that point stopped attacking.

I was informed by a mod that this is apparently unintended behavior? SO there is some sort of glitch happening with bats aggroed to two people, or aggroed with an arrow in which one bat will continue attacking a person until he is dead.

((I'd attempt to re-create the glitch but I don't want to die again ha!.... I miss my lp already...))

After talking with other people, it seems that when a bat is aggro'ed to two people at once it will keep attacking the first person to aggro it until they are dead, wish that I didn't live in a cave.

Also happened to my brother and I with a mouflon, might be the case for other animals too

We're considering some leniency in the bat department, yes. Currently all animals may throw their final queued attack before checking to see if they should deaggro, which makes especially the mob creatures more dangerous than was perhaps intended.

It was more than one final attack though, and other's have seen it happen as well when 1 animal is aggroed to two people it will keep hitting the first over and over again. It was also only a singular bat.
