    Just wanted to make a thread regarding a problem I noticed with the big slime pet on infection. Firstly, they take up an annoyingly large amount of space on such a highly populated gamemode, especially on some of the more dense maps. More importantly though, they can be used as a sort of shield to very easily block all damage by standing inside the hitbox of the slime, as it is significantly bigger than the player. 2014-12-01_18.16.28.png

    The above screenshots are probably fairly hard to see, but they show a human alive on Caves quite a while past the time the last other human died. Standing inside the slime, he can't seem to take damage and automatically won the round.
    As this is an unfair advantage to those with /pet when in certain places where this is viable, removing the option for making a big slime pet would possibly be a solution.

    Thanks.

    Um just saying, the slime shield doesn't work anymore. You can hit the player while he/she is in it. I learned that when I got elite and tested it out and died XD

    This guy was standing inside the slime against the corner and no one could hit him. It wasn't the zombies crowding around him blocking each other either, as we still couldn't hit him when he was alone on the platform. I'm almost certain the slime was how he was doing it...

    Still annoying as hell when trying to shoot and then a slime or another pet gets in the way. It does make it harder to kill someone when they're hiding behind their giant pet, which always bugs me to death.

    I'm requesting if you can change the title to Big Slime and Magma Cubes as Magma Cubes do the same thing.

    Support.

    What do you mean by 'anymore'? Are you saying it worked before?

    Yep, people used /pet slime:large or magma cube:large. They then hid behind the magma cube or slime. For some reason the slime blocked sword hits so it was almost impossible to hit them. Luckily, I used eggs and hit their exposed feet :D.

    I've never noticed them as a shield in the past, but it is very annoying when they're taking up so much space.

    Support.

    Agreed, all the gods use these as an advantage,

    Espicially when they want to spawn kill, those pets get in the way.

    I honestly think they should be banned too. They make it nearly impossible to hit the player :(

    Complete support.

    Maps such as Caves (the space where the ladders are), Carnival (the cars on the ferris wheel), and Winter (the trees) are all completely broken when people use slimes as barriers.

    It's extremely annoying and I feel like its even a selfish act in its own ways, and it should be permanently removed from the game. Way too overpowered in enclosed spaces.

    Support. After seeing this slime thing on Halloween, I can see its annoyance and why it should be taken away.
