stamina and that 3 hour break thing

wat if they made ur char have stamina so u got weaker and didnt run as fast the loger u played and were in the wild....so u had to go into town to regen ur stamina..or have to get off online for few mins to regen it....that would compliment the take a break after 3 hours thing they implimented...im not saying ppl would like to become weaker after a period of long fighting...but it would make the game alot more realistic

Not everyone is addicted and plays GW for 3 days in a row. It's people's own responsibility. I don't see any point in it but pissing people off.

I belive this was implimented in Lineage II because people where dieing over that game -_-. Could be wrong, Its people's choice to play as long as they play.

The idea is there... but the presentation is just a bit... "shaky"
Lay off that caffeine...

anyhow, actually, I think it not a bad idea. Sure its not a popular one, and against the freedom of gaming... but it would reduce farmers, destory bots, and actually encourage people to do something more productive. In the spirit of the Anti-faming code, I would say yes, with modification of couse.

Beside.. who say you cann't continue play? Hopefull will see more altnerative things to do beside just killing. And it should not effect those who are in the arenas. You should be able to regain your stamina, even if you are in game (as long as you are not a exploration area). So use that time to take break, sell stuff, play PvP, chat and talk to other, etc.

For The Following Reasons:
-Elite missions take over 3 hours....
-No one wants to be weakened at all.
-This is more of a waste of peoples time. It doesn't make the game any better.
-Fow and UW can last 3 hours or mroe if you have a good group.
-Also like Aera said it is peoples own responsiblity to get off and take a break.

Action Jack:
-Instead of adding this to destroy bots why don't we just continue to ban them?
-"So use that time to take break, sell stuff, play PvP, chat and talk to other, etc" Not everyone likes that stuff. Personally I hate selling because it takes hours, I don't commonly play PvP because i don't enjoy it so much and perfer PvP.

I would like to see that you could run faster for a short period of time and after let's say 15 seconds you would return to your normal speed and the speed we have right now.

But on the other hand that totally wouldn't fit in GW with all the running, agro, PvP etc. So...nevermind...

uhhh, "I'm using Celestial Storm on Shiro Tagachi!" And what is realistic about that? lol. Hardly any of this game is realistic, if it were then those hundreds or however many people in the Divine Path (ie Tengu, Canthan guards, every henchmen) would have been helping us kill shiro and not expecting us to do all the work (no they aren't "We No Su" or whatever but shiro is a human now, they can see him.).
Stamina=too much like diablo, weakening=TOO realistic. The breaks are purely optional, they hardly expect you to log off, they are just advicing you that you need a life :P (jk).

Guild Wars wasnt meant to be realistic.

u know it not that hard to just add some code to the bots that will log them in and out so i don't see how it would destroy bots. When did Anet become my babysitter telling me that if i don't log off and do somthing else ill just get weaker and slower and become usless if i want to play til i kill over that is my chocie.

What if i had been playing for 2h50mins and get called for a gvg am i suppose to tell them they have to wait cuz im almost at 3hrs or go ahead and enter with my mates and in the middle of the match i start getting weaker and slower when i hit 3hrs now that would just sux big time. Can see it now starting to get flamed by guildies "Damn it man u been on for 3hrs u r such a loser were gonna lose now etc etc etc" same would go for pvp/HoH. You'd have to start planing out what your gonna do on gw from now on not to mention time your self just so u know how much longer u got til u hit that 3hr mark.

Even with the current 3hr msg how does anet know if i went afk and took a break at 2hrs already, the msg doesn't reset to 0 it just keeps counting same would go for this idea. You said u would need to enter a town or log off what if im in FoW and r grp breaks for 20mins at around the 2 1/2hr mark since we r not in a town does the timer keep going? or will we be forced to continue playing without a break just so we can get as much done as we can without triggering the 3hr slowdown/weekness.

We should also get rid of magic, and the ability to be resurrected, and different races, and mystical creatures, and being able to carry a ton of crap in your inventory, and there being undead, and being able to survive multiple hits by a sword and axe, and shadow stepping, and...

They had stamina in EQ. It was annoying then, it would be annoying now.

The game isn't meant to be realistic. Most games aren't. We play them to escape reality. While some logical factors are always good, not every single one is needed. They're fantasy games for a reason.

LOL!!!! That
You have been playing 3 hours: Please take a break---
thing has got to be a joke since there main farming place (FoW) takes more than three hours to clear....also this will not help PvP or GvG at all...and it will just make gvg more difficult (Takes Warrior longer to catch agro) and it will piss ppl off!!!!
