ArenaNet talk:Guild Wars 2 suggestions/mind-control

hmmmm ... not too keen on this idea. MM necros seem to cover that aspect but differently, if that makes sense lol. You could probably go more in depth with the description of this skill. --122.107.149.30 04:44, 2 August 2008 (UTC)

Heh, i remember the fun that it was to mind-control npcs in EQ, since you could make them "talk" too. Of course, the fun usually stopped when the monsters decided to charm your "insert dps class here", since all your casters would usually be dead by the time the mind-control stopped.--Fighterdoken 05:16, 2 August 2008 (UTC)

No. Mind control is one of the most over powered skills in any game. Also they have something like that to a lesser extent in WoW. Its called Fear. You also have to think about the whole free will thing which they do have in guild wars. --Yozuk 06:47, 2 August 2008 (UTC)

A good point you make there. Things like "Charm" and "Fear" (hehe, good times with that one also) work in other games because they use a non-absolute resistance system (also known as the "you want to avoid it? grind!" system). That is not the case of GW1, and i would guess it won't be either the case in GW2. In any case, it would still be amusing seeing an effect like that being used by, by example, NPC bosses.--Fighterdoken 06:57, 2 August 2008 (UTC)

What are you guys talking about? This just screams balanced.--The Gates Assassin 13:45, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

lol. You will be saying "good bye Guild War" if this skill would ever be put in the game. which I know Anet would Never put in a skill so over powered. not to be rude or any thing. but no. still bad idea.--Yozuk 07:47, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

This is NOT WORLD OF WARCRAFT. GTFO MC you're fucking broken enough as it is in eots. --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:Napalm Flame (talk).

It might work as a short like 10 secs or so pve only skill or if it appears in 1 or 2 mission as a skill which someone gives you otherwise bad idea Ultimate Light 19:25, 27 September 2008 (UTC)

This is a stupidly retarded idea. It's already bad enough when there are skills to remove a player for 4 seconds or disable a group of casters for 10 seconds. Ability to CONTROL a character for 1 minute? Just have everyone echo-chain this and one unlucky person on the other team may as well go AFK. Disabling characters is an un-fun option that should not exist. Go back to the piece of trash called WoW and leave this game alone.

but itll be making use of the Z axis aside from jumping across fences lol
