Salem

Saw someone attack a grasshopper in Boston with stomp and it knocked out another player. Could be used by griefers as an exploit to lure enable combat in Boston.

Not a bug, many people lure bears into boston.

Learn to read, he's saying someone can do a stomp on an animal and it will also hit another player, it's a bug and a pretty serious one if abused.

holy ****, that's pretty bad :s

Well you'd need pretty low humours in order to lure a cricket without killing it, and once it does get to Boston he'd kill the cricket before the palyer can do any real damage to people, or the cricket will kill the player (low enough humours to lure it)

So it's not really "horrible", the luring of bears into Boston is still far worse.

When you expend your pool of Yellow Bile to below 9 - you can easily hit and pull crickets to town without killing them.
This is noticed by people who play the game and use combat skills to hunt.

But how many more hits could the cricket take after and would the stomp damage really be that hurtful to players? maybe if all their humours are 5 it will take them down a bit, but some other player would probably kill the cricket for him anyway.

(Also I do play the game and use combat skills to hunt so not sure what you're getting at there.. I know that you can't regenerate humours during combat and if you're yellow bile is under 9 then you won't be doing much damage to anyone until you leave combat and get it all way back up)

Or have enough black bile to stand the fear of a bear long enough, lure it onto boston, stomp and you'll hit alot assuming your YB is close to your BB

Does the Crickets HP determine the DMG the players do with Stomp? I was under the impression it is the YB that determines player DMG output.

The challenge becomes:

How much loot would a 5 humor trader alt drop if 2 players tried this technique - where 1 player pulls the cricket to the fat trader - while the other stands rdy with a large pool of YB from which to stomp.

Yeah it's the yellow bile that determines damage.
The two people thing could work unless it's only the person that has aggro that can damage other people, I've not tested it out so I'm not sure.
I don't have that much sympathy for alt traders though so wouldn't really bother me too much.
