Curse

Imagine connecting and finding oneself actually in a virtual body (Of course no 4-inch pins in the back of your head, really die if your char dies, etc

). The attributes would not be restricted to points but their lever would change in real-time according to your feelings. You would be only able to hold as many items as you could normally carry (not like 10 shields in your backpack) and it would really be realistic ^^.

ppl mobbing would be a sure thing ^^.

PS: this thread is just a fictional vision i had. don't ever expect anet to even think of something of this sort even when/if gw 2000 comes out.

Maybe this belong in the Sardelic section...... if it even deserves to exist at all

maybe it would better at the off topic?
well, regarding the idea:
if we followed the instancing, as soon as our party exited the town, everyone not in our party would dissappear from "our" world.

us against the mob, perhaps we could actually climb that diminute rock that stops our way, or perhaps spells like firestorm would be actually useful like the one on the GW video.

Well, i wouldnt farm much then, oh and im not an able fighter

Sekkira · Aug 29, 2006, 04:03 PM // 16:03

Farming would be insane, run out there take on 20 Shiroken, spam spells and watch them all drop at your feet while you laugh maniacally.

Try reading Otherland (4 vol) by Tad Williams, about a VR gaming malfunction in the near future. It's probably still in print somewhere. Hell, I couldn't put it down.

I don't know, imagine Shiro's punishment as a mini-pet

MMSDome · Aug 30, 2006, 01:56 AM // 01:56

I can only imagine how troll farming would be even though youd be living the process would hurt like hell. If probably be a ranger using a long bow and I also dont think youd live after getting hit by a meteor shower. O well it would be intresting to be a droks runner!

i was thinking of a game like this, oblivionesque but when you die you just come back to life in the real world and you could like play for what eseems hours but only be a few minute in the real world.. it'd be cool lol

chessyang · Aug 30, 2006, 02:46 AM // 02:46
