Curse

I came off with this idea after playing Chrono Trigger that sometimes your character can be hit with a spell which causes them to attack on their own accord either hitting the enemy, OR going after one of your characters. There are plenty of strategic elements do wanting this pulled off in the middle of a match, but it makes gameplay interesting when you have someone who just temporary lost control of their character. Either Hex removal or toughing it out will get rid of it.

I also think this could be imposed as an effect with being cursed during certain missions/quests that would have your character turn on everyone within time or at random.

This probably has been suggested alot before.

And there's a reason why it isn't in the game...

Whining from pissed players is my guess.

It not only completely shuts down that player, but turns it against the teams. 8V8 becomes 7V9. Very OP.

Yeh that and the fact there's the whole you know,Curses attribute for necro and how normal RPG stuff doesn't work in an MMORPG. You're obviously new here.

skilled-based pvp goes out the window when people lose control of their characters. terrible idea.

yeah there goes the tactical pvp part of the game

soooo no

Removing a player from the game even for a few seconds is too much, that's why many spells that do so are usualy elite or have a lot of downsides.

Mesmers were going to have this:

But it was removed.

It would be nice to bring it back as a PvE skill, though.
