Is the bat form useful?

[SergiusValek]

Just looked at the wiki and found that you can only carry teleportable items, I thought that kinda sucks. Besides reaching certain points in the map, I don`t see how it matters. If it is night, I wish I could use the bat form regardless of the items in the inventory.

Totally slower than 11 with reins, potion and 100% worker blood during a blood night.

You need to think from a pvp balance/gameplay perspective, where when you kill someone you can take their loot....imagine being able to just fly into and away after you robbed a bunch of players, like...wolf form alone having no CD is kinda oppressive from a running away perspective. It's already scary seeing a bunch of vampires pop next to you out of nowhere LOL.

As people mentioned you can disable it and make it do whatever, but honestly flying around is a big deal even with teleports even in solo..if you die, being able to just fly as close as possible to the spot you died to retrieve your items is a huge time saver, so saying it "does not matter" unless you can carry items is too much a stretch imo.

It's extremely abusive, people still do that anyway with maphack vision and is in fact super broken.

Thats not broken mate... thats just cheating.

So, I checked, and Bat form is exactly 11 speed whit no modifiers (you can see your current movement speed in the inventory screen near your resistance)
Still slower than the fastest horse if you put on a cedel (11+1 from cedel)
You can make it faster whit rogue creature or mutant blood vs worker and wrangler for horse.
One skips over terrain and enemies the other can ride at daytime.
I feel like some people need to make races to test out a variety of scenarios.

hmm if that is so then why am i way faster around the map with a fast horse compared to another player who goes by bat?

I think its way too far down the skill tree, by the time you get it, its not much use TBH. With the raised Level cap and extra content, it will probably be more useful.

its literally, mainly, a tool for pvp.
Other than that its what gives you access to winged horror.
