I would like an opoin to check and show blood splatter if you wanted, alot of other games have this.

Might cause an M rating if they do that. That would very much hurt sales.

Guild Wars changes to NC-17, just go sit in Random Arena dis 1.

I dont see how optional blood (while no wounds, decapitations, etc) can be THAT bad.

They could always implement a parental lock for the blood splatters

Bump for effects!

VVV-- how will an effect that is diplayed when someone gets hit add to lag, you don't have to send the blood splatters over the network, the hits are already transmitted anyways. And if it can be disabled, it won't add to graphics engine workload. "unneeded" is not a valid argument either

No! blood will cause lag. it's also uneeded. kthx

Which is why it would be an option, if it causes lag, disable it, it would be that simple.

I'd never use it, and I don't think I know anyone that actually would, but wth,

/signed. There are T games with blood.

option to disable is good too. I like it.

Especially when I cast Blood is Power, I want to see some spatter!

{IceFire} · May 06, 2006, 01:41 AM // 01:41

/notsigned. unneeded IMO, and M rating=bad + lag.

sinisters chaos · May 06, 2006, 07:12 AM // 07:12

/signed..... idk why ppl are complaining about lag... if GW really wanted to add blood they can EASILY make it w/o lag... BUT i do agree the rating will have to change... and thats a nono, so i dont think this will happen,

led-zep · May 06, 2006, 08:36 AM // 08:36

maybe an age rating would be good, there'd be less idiotic kids playng screaming noob at everyone.

This is a myth. M ratings don't hurt sales. Many of the best-selling games of all-time are M-rated. ie: Diablo, Diablo II, Diablo II Lord of Destruction, GTA 3, Vice City, San Andreas (that sales got hurt by an AO rating, but not an M rating

), Dawn of War, God of War, Halo 1, Halo 2 etc. etc..

M ratings are fine and dandy and don't affect sales.

Bring back the blood.

No!! many newer MMO's don't have it.. its not a bloody game, and it doesn't need to be.. (unnecessary feature)

I really don't want to see this game go down the line of Diablo, really sorry, but I just can't see that kind of gore in a game like this

Fargin Scotchsman · May 06, 2006, 04:40 PM // 16:40

i agree wit led-zep, m-rating may get rid of all teh younger idiots, which is a BIG thing imo. less idiots = less lag overall = more fun = happy ppl. anyways, ppl like m=rated BECAUSE they're m=rated, or at least i do. ive played lots o fps's, and the whole blood thing makes the experience more realistic, and isnt that wut an rpg's supposed to be? more realistic???

/signed, twice

Rion · May 06, 2006, 04:43 PM // 16:43

I'd like to see the blood brought back, but I doubt it'll happen.

R A C · May 06, 2006, 06:06 PM // 18:06

M-rating would hurt anything. M probably wouldn't happen anyway though, IMO. And M ratings don't stop brats from getting their parents to buy GTA and other M games for 'em. Sad but true. Moron parents who don't pay attention to what their kids play. But that's another rant for another thread.

BahamutKaiser · May 06, 2006, 06:52 PM // 18:52

Doesn't matter to me, How about Quivers, new cape type designs, new armors, playable races, I don't know, anything else could be a better addition, but blood, ok, that doesn't impress me but why not add it.

I think turning to the gore factor to be enjoyable to people who enjoy violence is a weak addition, there are plenty of exciting and enjoyable things that would be much more appreciated by many, instead of making an addition that will spawn just as many dislikes as likes, as well as mark the game as another blood and guts game.

As long as it can be turned off, I don't care, Graphics are never going to slow down my gameplay as much as the connectivity, so I don't care about the lag, but I find this a very weak addition to add to the game in light of a multitude of better options. I would rather see cool mist running off of enemies who have Ice hexes on them, and small flames when your burning, and the player holds his arm between actions if he has deep wound, blood splatters are a far last place for visual additions IMO. Furthermore, you can already identify an enemy with bleeding by the pink degen bar, so it isn't providing an identification that we don't have, unlike Deep wound or Ice Hex slowing, or even weakness.

Rancour · May 06, 2006, 06:59 PM // 18:59

I wouldn't mind blood, atleast it'd look better than it does now.

It can't wrap my mind around the fact that I cause an explosion when I gut someone...

Lag: Turn it off
Disgust: Turn it off
M-rating: This is ridiculous, as if kids ever stopped playing games because they saw blood; blood is APPEALING to blokes (majority of player base).

To the above poster: Uhm, there ARE flames when you burn.

Haha at you for thinking that a rating will stop younger people from playing.

Lots of T games have blood in them, I doubt it would change to M.

Anyways, I think this is a good idea, more realistic.
