they should make you perminatly die, or get hit by a ... horse and cart.. if you drink to much, kids dont drink. there are people under the drinking age playing this game...!!!

It's not like they're influencing kids to go out and drink; they're just adding something you can throw your money at to make the game go weird for a while.

Wtf, If your son is either under 13 (which would then make you a bad parent, letting him play a teen rated game at an age where he cannot think for himself) or is very protected.

Does he run into your room with a knife saying "Daddy, I want to get the armor that you drop!"

Please

It's an intresting addition i'll give it that

anyone else realize your character runs a little funny after a few in addition to the screen funk? I think its pretty funny.

This sounds like an excelent gold sink! Well done ArenaNet!
However, I still don't think it will be enough to combat the inflation.
We need Hairdressing, Armour Customisation, NPC run Casinos... The list goes on.

Yes, Hairdressing. It's a very valid gold sink.

Guild vs Guild betting. Do it horseracing style, and there's your gold sink right there, since 50% of the income goes directly to the sinkhole. You'd only be able to bet like perhaps 1000 or so max, so that no one would rig the match for no reason.

If there was a way to observe matches, I'd pay the "bank" 1000 gold just for that.... I like that idea a lot.... I guess they'd have to be on time delay though, or people would abuse teamspeak to recon info.

Actually I'm having second thoughts because some teams like to keep their builds a secret, though ultimately your going to need to change your stuff. But some top players might not like having the common people immitate them so fast.

... I am such a noob that I went to droknors, spent 1K, and then blatently talked to myself in chat (everyone was probably thinking "Omg what a dick, hasn't she tried the ale yet?"), going "Wooo! The whole screen's gone swirly!" and.. "Did I just say that?!" When my character promptly asked if every could stop shouting please. Oh, and she also checked her nails.. sat down.. bent over... and announced she was gonna be sick.

Lol, I'm even laughing when I'm typing this...

....I'm gonna go buy some more!!!

Yeah... by now, I need at least three to get a little effect going

When I have the cash, going to drink 10 and see what happens... what is the max number of stacking ales? Has anyone drunk like 30 and fallen over?

They are making an "observer" mode, I do believe.

Now, if there would be an emote action with it, I'd be even more impressed.

I want those drunken hunter emotes, raise a glass in the air then down it in one shot.

Now THAT'S entertainment!

when being drunk, it'd be fun to have your screen blur a bit as if you really were drunk.

I believe the beer stops stacking around 5-10. I drank 20 and saw no difference from the time I started clicking the 11th one and up.
