"Oh but doing like that he can get safe or whatever" and you stand there like a potato. 

You can be agree that the mechanic sucks and also tell something so this wont repeat but better have 2 pages of arguments instead of asking for a fix or giving advices to counter that bad mechanic in case klei wont change it

Also the tittle of the topic says that he dies because of the beefalo running but before that he was at half hp with no armor but that doesnt contradict that the beefalo shouldnt flee for his owner

Some of you have thin skin or something jeez

It is entirely possible that the Bell is on a limited time event exclusive item: and During this Time Klei wanted people to be able to easily get a Beefalo to enjoy the event with.

But once the event is over the bell will go the way YoTC event did.

I mean for starters: The bell is something you have to craft in the Beefalo shrine and wasn’t just added outside of it in a QoL update. And then there’s also this thing where Beefalo behave with the A.I. Behavior of Woby.

Your fully tamed and bonded beefalo getting distance from you? Really? I don't see how this would be ever logically useful.

dismounting and then placing something down or generally just trying to interact with the things around you. beefalo are pretty large animals so it can help for them to walk a few centimeters away so you can click on things like crock pots or chests.

Try to build ANYTHING as Wendy on Xbox One with a Cowbell bonded Beefalo and Abigail- I wish you the greatest luck as you Return Abby to her Flower and have to constantly Mount and move the Beef out your way.

You mustve not understood the mechanics of unbonded beefalo fully. Instead of dismounting directly on top of your crockpots you could simply dismount away from them so the beefalo does not obstruct your access. Hope this helps

He wasn't worrying since the beefalo just tank hits for him and he was almost flawlessly kiting DF slaps, only being damage a few low times, the issue was this super necessary and consistent mechanic of your tamed fighter beefalo getting away, which in a fighting scenario or not it's

And there are interactable things you can do on top of your beefalo too

Saying what ohan said there is on the same level as "you shouldve just brought armor" or equivalent phrase. I give you a very easy to understand hypothetical in which the running away behavior can prove useful or at least convenient and you respond "well you could have just done this in a less convenient manner that doesn't work with or put to use the mechanics presented, so actually the mechanic is useless and a nuisance."

Unfortunately  it fits right in line with some of the people in this thread's mindset of absolutely refusing to understand or at least work with new/tweaked mechanics and simply get frustrated when different behavior occurs that needs to be adjusted to.

Yeah glad it came across. I just think its funny how we’re on page 3 of this thread and after all the grievances and genuine bugs people have brought forth due to this brand new behavior you swoop in and say “this is actually good because ull no longer misclick on the beefalo that is for some reason right on top of ur crockpot”. Just dont park it on top of ur crockpot. 

Ppl have somehow managed to do that just fine for years without threads like this popping up for that issue.

Its again the same mindset that absolutely refuses to find ways to work with new mechanics and simply gets frustrated when things dont work how they used to before. Why would i park it further away from crock pot or the other 99 things that you cant quite interact with on beefalo when i could just the mechanics presented to me to make lifeva tiny bit easier?

It DOESNT WORK THIS WAY (at least not while using an Xbox controller) the Beefalo always ALWAYS returns to be right up on you if it’s bonded with the Cowbell (even if it’s fully tamed)

It gets in my way of doing pretty much anything, building stuff, cooking food etc- and it’s Annoying.

Its Even MORE Annoying when you also have Abigail: Riled Abigail will attack and attempt to kill a bell bonded (but Not YET fully tamed Beefalo) making the process a hassle for Wendy- because you either need to make sure Abigail has always been turned to Soothe Mode before dismounting your Beefalo- OR if your trying to rile Abby to fight dog waves or something you have to RACE Abby to get on your Beefalo before she attacks it.

In short: there’s a lot that’s broken about YoTB update, but the FUN things it can do (picking stuff while on Beef, traveling Wormholes & Caves, logging out with your Beef) outweighs all that bad stuff.

Edit: I can always HITCH my Beefalo to a YoTB structure to get it to stop being right up my butt, But that is assuming we will still be able to use the Hitching/Cowbell after YOTB ends.

Abigail doesn't attack fully tamed beefalos when riled up. Try it with a beefalo that has been fully domesticated.

At the cost of every single issue and complaint and bug ppl have brought up because of it. Seems fine. 

And the mechanic presented to us to avoid such problems is called a salt lick. U leave ur beefalo near it and it wont run in front of your crockpots.

Having the beefalo tightly follow u around now with the bell is actually more of a hindrance than a help with regards to obstructing interactables.

If only everyone else would get rid of this faulty mindset and open their eyes to the greatness of woby’s mount mechanics.. any day now..

At the cost of maybe sounding a bit insensitive here, i would be willing to wager that the vast vast majority of behaviors displayed as bugs or frustrations can be explained and understood if given some testing.

This is entirely up to the player and i found immense use in this behavior just as a convenience thing since it meant i didnt necessarily have to ride the beefalo while taming to have it constantly in my eyesight.

That’s literally what I just said: The TAMING process as Wendy can be a Hassle because if it’s not fully tamed yet Abigail wants it Dead.

Beefalos have like 1,5k hp. Few hits of abi wont do much

Okay you learn that you burn your hand when you put it in the fire because the fire is hot. does that lessen the pain of the burn? this sounds so unhelpful and willfully obtuse. 

The bottom line is that this new behavior is specifically tied to the bell, meaning they for some reason did not find it necessary to implement this as a core beefalo behavior. without the bell the beefalo behaves as it always has, it does not run away. One of these things has caused bugs (u cannot call sliding with the beefalo unable to do anything until it decides to stop anything but a bug, likewise woby's behavior as shown in HeatAndRun's video) and complaints from the community who did not like this exact behavior in a previous iteration, that being woby, and the other has been with us from the start with no complaints or issues.

This running away behavior was an unnecessary and uncalled for addition that was seemingly added while oblivious to its consequences in battle, one of the major purposes of Beefalo. A much greater purpose than being your line cook while you're cozying up to each other between your crockpots.

It is a nice convenience thing. but you cant have it both ways. having it constantly in your eyesight and following you around is bound to cause it to obstruct you from intractables like i know it has done for me.

an interesting behavior of the beefalo bell is that if you run away from the beefalo, enough for it to teleport to you, while it is attacking something, it will lose interest in whatever it is attacking and you can mount it again.

Look, just desummon Abigail to stop it from fighting beefalo, drop the bell, and walk away for 2 screens.

As long as you have some weapon, you should not die to hound waves, you have more than enough time to do this. And if the beefalo gets in your way of anything, drop the bell away, beefalo is attracted to the bell so is as much effort as desummoning Abigail.

no, but you learned not to put your hand in the fire??? I don't understand how you could use such an analogy and not expect such an obvious retort.

If you put your hand in the fire then you learn that the fire hurts and perhaps could use it for things other than hurting yourself. Beefalo bells, or rather new mechanics tend to act in much of the same way in a game like this one, where one kind of have to experiment with things even if they can prove dangerous to find out the best way to work with them..

In much of the same way that one just learns about new mechanics, I would be willing to say that one can also learn to avoid bugs with such mechanics, until they are addressed, if they ever are. I think something like "sliding with the beefalo unable to do anything until it decides to stop" is something that probably has some kind of thing that triggers it, one could probably avoid that.

then shoo it away somehow with the running behavior of the beefalo bell, I recall beefalo at times running away when i give them food (kind of funny giving them a bunch of stuff before they can fully run away)

that is the point of this thread. in video games bugs are supposed to be worked out by the developers so one would not need to actively try to avoid them. it is up to them to remove the fire.

[Mike23Ua]

Guys: what if the bell is just temporary? You’d be wanting Klei to fix what you consider a bug, when that’s time they could be doing literally anything else.

the bell is just Wobys code: that’s why it acts like Woby, that’s WHY Walter players crashed trying to Use Woby.. 

And you have to wonder that if they change the behavior of Beefalo’s bonded to the bell, if it would also make Woby change as well?

I’m pretty sure if this WAS a bug a hotfix would’ve been pushed out for it by now.

But as it stands now: only Klei knows if the Bells for YOTB are here to stay or not.

Klei just fixed a bug with the lesser glowberry's texture that has been around for the better part of the last 5 years. So your confidence is severely misplaced.
