Came to bat dungeon now

after we enter, there was like 3 purple bats, that already spawned infinite amount of normal bats

looks like TP traps in Diablo2

you enter and infinite amout of bats attack you

First room is always safe when You enter as first, it just that running people pull/trap newcomers this way. If You are not prepared, better not going in. Also, doesn't peeking with shift not work there?

Ah this brings back memories.... (of pain and despair in Estate of Unrest, Castle Mistmoore, among others)

Pretty sure it did last time I ran into a bat cave. You see everything there, bats and all... or nothing as the case may be.

at least we all make it to the exit, but was veryr hard, bats are blocking pathing.

It was in patch notes some time ago. Is it an obvious thing? No, but then a lot of things in this game aren't obvious. That's why we keep the wiki. If it's not on the wiki... I guess... sorry on behalf of all the wiki folks?

I got koed going into a beaver dungeon before my screen had loaded.

Starting rooms certainly are not safe

Trying to enter a dungeon with mobs of critters sitting at the entrance doesn't feel great. Maybe an aggro delay in that room after entering?

Making it safe probably opens up way too many abuses.
