Mind Control Skill(Discussion)

Mind Control is the ability ro temporarily take control of an enemy target for up to one minute and use it to attack other enemies

Why this is a good idea
  • it is a very fun skill and it can be useful for units that don´t have the ability to do much damage
  • It could become a PvE-Only skill, and thus maintaining PvP fairness.
  • Could induce a state in allies that prevents them from MC-ing for a period of time, to prevent spamming abuse.
Why it may not work out
  • people will maybe get angry when they get ``mind controlled´´
  • Getting MC-locked by a mob will definately take out the fun, which makes it prone to abuse.


Mind Controlling the Game

Several companies are producing headsets that allow you to control games and pc applications just using your mind. Perhaps GW2 should be able to interface with these devices on a more intuitive level than simply associating the thought-commands into a keystroke or series of keystrokes?

Why this is a good idea
  • It would be a mode that you could enable for the options menu.
  • It would allow the user to interface their hardware more fluidly with the game client.
Why it may not work out
  • Some players might view it as unfair that some players have little or no reaction time as these headsets can act upon thought rather than the split-second delay of pressing the keyboard.
  • Some people may believe the headsets unethical or perhaps slightly scary because they almost literally 'read your thoughts'.
