FrizzFreston.5290 Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 @"Kanok.3027" said:I swear, people are making it sound like this thing is killing people by the millions when the mortality rate is low. Guess people need to panic about anything and bring awareness to it. Hey, here's a suggestion: let's raise awareness for cancer instead! It kills millions per year and yet no one is panicking over that!Except cancer doesn't spread from person to person. I mean even with a mortality rate of 2% or maybe even 1% when talking about 7 Billion people is still 28 to 49 Million people you suggest we shouldn't panic about. Plus the addition that if that would run rampant people can't get the help because we (as a race) don't have hospitals to care for all those sick people, which then obviously affects the capacity to take in people suffering from all the other illnesses.So if you want to help cancer, don't just let the hospitals overload with COVID patients please, because "it has only a low mortality rate anyway".

TPMN.1483 Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 Fractals already has a protective suit...“Social Awkwardness“ it gives you your own personal space bubble around you and is the answer to #COVID-19. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fat Disgrace.4275 Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 I dont understand? Who isn't aware of what's going on about this virus, why does there need to be a freebie to show even more awareness? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eramonster.2718 Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 Edited dialogue in game at Spirits' Refuge.Vigil Tactician : I've done some preliminary tests on the... SARS-CoV-2Vigil Marksman : You can just call them "Covid -19." That's what everyone else is doing.Vigil Tactician : That's not very scientific. If you call it a name like that, you give it power.Vigil Marksman : It is powerful. Powerful and very dangerous. To suggest otherwise is irresponsible.Vigil Tactician : What's irresponsible is treating this like some kind of curse. It's a quantifiable thing. It has rules.Vigil Marksman : I don't care if you study it. I honestly don't even care what you call it. Just don't catch it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coso.9173 Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 I'd also appreciate if we could stay away from this all in this fantasy game. It's hard to not let if affect us, so if we're not reminded every 5 mins about it, better IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadowmoon.7986 Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 In my opinion they should give everyone the social awkwardness debuff from fractals in the open world, and call it social distancing, with a description of the importance of doing it at this time in the debuff description.

Luthan.5236 Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 I don't think a free outfit is a good idea. I don't want special outfits that might not fit into the ingame world. Also for awareness - since more player might be playing - some new seasonal event might be nice. Maybe let the upcoming SAB festival run a bit longer (so people with more free time because of Corona can enjoy it a bit more) and add some additional stuff into the game. Ingame disease mini living story (not repeatable - like with LS1 ... only playable in this special circumstances with low or no rewards just for the story).Like cooking food and deliviering it to elderly people that can't leave the house (to protect them from getting infected).Also players and guilds ingame might do their own events. (Maybe more people will be online to play ... maybe heling new players doing older stuff nobody does anymore usually nowadass. Dungeons n stuff.)

hugo.4705 Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 Lol, already see an asura running around "bzzz i'm the Casuravirus!", no, just no. Also hazmat suit already exist but not as permanent transform, only an elite skill. Somehow, it has the same design as a power suit... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
