It's not a bad idea but it will take a lot of memory like in other MMOs. I guess they can stick around for some 30 seconds but I can see the problem in larger battles. However, the solution might be that killed player bodies be shown in low texture detail so they are using minimum memory. I'd be more then happy to throw heads at people. I'm probably wrong but those are my thoughts.
We could be hopeing that the engien that runs the program is so strong that this dont even will be a problem.
I'm sure the engine will be good, there is still a lot of time. They didn't? I thought they did, never mind then. But still it would be good if they choose PS2 engine. Thanks for correcting me..
Giant pictographs of dicks, and shitting dick nipples, and those Pony things fucking each other, made out of corpses? No thanks.
Although ragdoll corpses and dismemberment would be wonderful, I don't see it happening. The technology just isn't there yet. The problems come from scale and syncing. To have any complexity to it beyond pure cosmetics, such as a pile of corpses acting as makeshift light cover, you need to accurately sync the physics among the (potentially) hundreds of players on the field. Network latency alone makes this a nightmare to achieve. They could probably make it a client-side graphics option for those with powerful rigs, but then no one else would be able to see your corpse throne. What's the point of a corpse throne if other people can't see you sitting on it? Well, a graphics option that is in spirit the "Dead Space physics mode" or something might still be worth it anyway, but a lot depends on the game engine they choose for EC.
Well, those shocked even me. But you are right, most people would use it to create pointlessly vulgar things. What I meant was creating chaos sigils and similar things, since Chaos does it all the time (in Gaunt's Ghosts for example). Phallic imagery is too simple for my tastes. Engine limitations would probably mean that moveable corpses are quite unlikely.
Ragdoll physics are very demanding still and when you apply a ragdoll to a battle of 500 VS 500 what you get is a clusterfuck of shitstorm thrown into a ceiling fan. I will oppose this just for the mere fact that i do no think we have the technology to achieve it BUT I would love to get something like skull trophies..maybe not mutilate the body but receive and item(skull) for a gory kill. *shrugs* just a thought.
