Note on giant crabs:when VOGing a giant crab the VOG seems to bounce within its parts. Also, very fun getting some people together to kill them. Too bad both of the ones we've killed today have died from bleeding so we didnt get any drops :(.

They don't drop anything and give lousy xp.

What I gotta code in is properly shared xp - but with the drop, how to decide who gets it?

I should make it so that things dying of bleeding either drop OR don't actually die.

Another note on crabs. Of the 5 Ive heard of 1 was outside nord, 1 was in the desert and 3 consecutive ones have been outside Izumi.

technically I guess so, but I guess they shouldn't be clonable

I kinda get the feeling that the game almost treats each part of the giant crab as an individual piece. I.E. when you VOG them you can see the VOG jumping in between parts of the crab. That might be why the clones are small(1/4 of the real crab)

clones & vog different issues

vog could be treated as a bug - which I should, at least study it. I know why roughly it is happening. It could be left in as a feature. I wonder what else is wrong wtih it? IVPY probably does 4x dmg to it too. Why shouldn't ivpy and vog do extra dmg? It's important to understand why things are going not as expected.

clones: just a matter of the clone not being marked as large. I'll probably fix that BUT make cloning of large fail.


ALso I think the 1/3 chance of the crab spawning every sunrise is a bit much but will do until I think of other crappy megabosses to place here and there.

Perhaps cloning of large monsters should be intelligence based.

How 'bout giant slimes?

I hope the Huge Crab doesn't spawn in the PD server. It's XC spell would be really nasty on players there.

I down seem to be able to hit the huge crab at all with my bow unless I'm standing directly next to it. I dunno if this is a bug or intentional.

Also, Kendal told me that the huge crab just dissapeared while still having half health. Do they only hang around for a certian amount of time?

I thought it might be cool if 2x2 portals would appear on the land randomly like the huge crab does and take players to a secret area or something. Gotta make the area where you cant mark or even use a town portal there, that way only the players that find the portal get to explore it.

If the huge crab can walk through water, IVPY probably doesn't do any damage to it. I've noticed that IVPY doesn't hurt monsters that can go on both water and land(like crocs or hydras); probably because the game considers them "flying" monsters.

Crabs have brought EUOers together for a common cause like nothing else ever has.
