    Hello fellow players/staff I had came to a big problem on Lost Temple recently. The problem being players goomba stomping other players. This problem had occurred more than once with me, and hearing it from other players. On Lost Temple there are a series of ramps down to metal boards where you take to get down from the spawn area. Plenty of the players wait for warm up to begin before going down. So there are multiple players going down at once at high speeds hurting themselves, and in many cases others. Now then in all of these cases the player goomba stomping the other play is slain. In almost all of those cases the players that were slain couldn't of stopped/control themselves before killing another player. This is accidental RDM that could be very easily be fixed. Meaning the ramps are practically deathtraps.
    -I hope that the ramps be less dangerous/make them slower.
    -AFK's being pushed by another player, and being dropped on another player. Being non punishable for the AFK
    -Or make an exception for the goomba stomping if players are camping the metal sheets.
    Thank you for the time.
    -Caswell

    +1 great idea possibly have an invisible layer of water to slow the person down before they are able to fall on other players if that is even possible

    If you backpedal you significantly lower your risk of goomba stomping someone.

    I personally do not offer slays to killers of victims who are goomba stomped via the ramp/initial slide. I believe it is a mechanism that was intended to create chaos and a sort of "rush" therefore I ask where they were hurt from fall damage before applying punishments on Lost Temple. I'm not quite sure if I'm in the right to do this, but I feel this is the best course of action when playing on this map.

    For some reason it is not opening and it will crash. Maybe V1 will open without crashing.

    Video of V2:


    EDIT: V1 will not open either.

    Okay thank you for the attempt. Hopefully another player might be able to help fix this problem.

  9. Just slide down in preround. Or just wait until the crowd of players die down near the slide.

    Peter there are some players that notice that a new round had started a little bit later than others.

    Have you tried back pedaling on it? All the times I have done that I have not stomped anyone. Just spread that word.

    I can agree with this. I can't even begin to count how many times I've waited up top to kill a sloppy traitor, slid down the ramp, then accidentally jumped on a players head while trying to land in the water.

    I think that, because it is 100% mandatory to go down the slide, players shouldn't be punished for uninitentionally stomping players in the landing zone.

    ant. I'm not your da da VIP Silver

    If we make an exception for goomba stomping while going down the ramp we will have people intentionally trying to kill other players when sliding down with no consequences. If you make an exception here, then people will then try to make exceptions in other high goomba stomp areas, such as the dropoff in community pool or any high ladder. Keep in mind we already have a rule where if the damaged player forgives the goomba stomper, the moderator online can remove the slay associated to it. Adding this exception would just cause confusion and more purposeful RDM; -1.

    I completely agree with this statement.

    Seriously, just hold back when going down and tell others to do the same. Piece of cake.

    Okay then it is settled.
