Scrying from the Shades
« on: December 30, 2010, 02:12:26 AM »

I know this was partially already brought up before (http://forum.shinobilegends.com/index.php/topic,4859.0.html) but instead of having an apparition, I was wondering if it was possible to just have a scrying option.

For example, being able to go to the mausoleum and for X amount of favors, you scry to just the city squares of Konoha, Ninja Central, Otogakure, Kirigakure, and Sunagakure. It's basically the same options as when you are living in the gypsy tent, but instead just using favors as payment. I don't know if this would be hard on the coding or anything though.
 

Thoughts?

Isn't death supposed to be... Not fun?

But, it would be cool if a living person could summon a person from the dead to "scry" the world of the living, making it harder for dead people to talk with the living, and also making it so you've got to have friends willing to do it for you, encouraging the RP going on.

Something like that.

That sounds really complicated, though. >_>

And death not being fun was a reason to keep fighting zones out originally, I think. Reasonable, but I think everyone would love to be able to chat from the grave. We're always having to make alts and sheepishly say "my main died." Well, at least when we still played a lot.

Of course, if this is turned down, there isn't anything really wrong with making a temporary alt. It just takes a little bit of time.

Yeah, that's kind of why I was just wondering if it could just be only a scrying thing; no other summoning this, no apparition that, etc.  I do have alts, and ultimately I end up hopping onto those accounts and just say "oh I died on my main" but sometimes I die on my alt as well. I guess a simple fix is always "be more careful in the forest/pvp'ing" but I was just putting the idea out there.

Wasn't there a similar [far-off] feature favor-payable: Torment? (Yes okay, nowhere close, but communication with the living can be annoying in their [above the earth] spect...

Well as long as you're part of a clan, you could still communicate with 'the living' via the Waiting Room.  ;)

That was haunting them, not actually scrying in some way. Nifty I even remember that feature from long ago.... o.O
