Just wondering if anyone wants to see puking as much as I do when you get drunk. Because you can go from fully tanked to...semi tanked without anything happening. Puking wouldn't make it more realistic, but it'd make it more entertaining. I'm sure it'd also make Guild Wars M rated

No...

But they should make it, so when I get drunk you being to have trouble casting spells and cause knockdown type falling over.

Or just add a /drunk emote

I have to wonder if these are really the best ideas people can come up with. If this is your biggest concern you must think this is the best game ever! Not that Im saying its not great mind you... Im just amazed that people bother to suggest such ideas.

I drank 5 dwarven ale earlier and as soon as i stoped to walk my monk sat there on the ground by herself. Then started to press X a couple of time to see if she would fall off or something and she shouted "I'm spinning!!" or something like that. It was hillarious.
but puking? i don't know.. it would maybe be funny but as Aaaaagh said,

they have this in UO... its funny the first couple times then it gets REALLY old, especially with the noises...

I remember in old EQ, if you drank enough you'd start to sway back and forth and get this really funny tunnel vision. The best time I ever had was a keg party in Kelethin (elf city built into the trees) where half the people there ended up falling to their deaths at one point or another.

Talesin Darkbriar · Jun 09, 2005, 04:08 PM // 16:08

We used to host drunken dashes across Kelethin - we'd get you liquored up for free, and once you were obviously smashed we'd hold a race from one end to the other.
The survivor, er, ahem "winner" would always get a nice magic item or coin reward.

It was hysterical and a great time.

Massassi · Jun 09, 2005, 04:10 PM // 16:10

wait..so, what does the ale realy do?

Kershent · Jun 09, 2005, 04:17 PM // 16:17

It makes you drunk, nothing more. Go drink a few. Five seems to do the trick real nice.

And people think of these ideas because they're FUN ideas that give the game just a little tiny bit of extra substance. Granted, these things shouldn't be top priority, and I doubt it was. It's just cool that it's in.

(Plus, it's a money sink. People will blow at least a thousand gold trying to get wasted for the first time)

Pevil Lihatuh · Jun 09, 2005, 06:24 PM // 18:24

sure add being drunk. but why puke? ugh i dont wanna watch people virtually being sick! now watching people stagger around, THATS fun

Take a drunken kid out with you on a quest (guild wars stag night maybe?!) and watch them try to hit that devourer... hehehe.

oh another fun thing that was in uo was a spell... i dont remember what it was called but basically it screwed with your head and made everything 'the wrong colour'... that was pretty freaky. So perhaps if you get drunk you could see things blurred, be unable to walk in a straight line and just generally be rubbish at anything except maybe having that one last drink...

Yea, i remember eq too... the slurred words... that was great... i would whisper my friend "Hey whats up" = "Hzi chalp to", then he replies... "man, your drunk again arent you?"

Great times... heh, gotta love the drunk effects...

It's not meant to be a great idea, it's just meant to be more entertaining. Because, if you think about it...the people who are going to get drunk on a video game, already have a twisted sense of humor, and adding puke, staggering, etc, would just make it more amusing. And that's the entire point of a video game...to be amusing. And it's not like you'd be going around town seeing people puke all the time, because when you *would* do it, it'd only be viewable by you, and no one else. Just like the words your character says when you're drunk. That way, no one else has to witness your sick fantasies and you can get a good laugh for 1,000 gold.

Well, if you have a necromancer and the collector's edition , the /laugh emote looks an awful lot like you are puking into your hands. Glowing green puke.

Ah, happy memories on my 21 birthday! Bring out the techno color yawn! Just have an option to turn off the sound for those with a weak stomach...;-) I think this idea would go very well with my idea about having bars in town. The post is listed under ye old city tavrens
