Poll: Should HUmans and NEwmans be affected by shock?

[Cecil_McW00t]

I know this has to have gone through your head once or twice. How do you feel about Humans and Newmans being susceptible to the status condition shock? It ticks me off. Its annoying, and many times I have played a game with a friend using a RAceaseal while I used my RAmarl, and I was shocked more than she was! WTH?!

[AxemPunanny]

Funny how I don't remember Humans/Newmans ever being affected by shock on the DC version. Or maybe that's because I always had a state/maintenance on my chars. DC players remember that support item; one of the best items in the game (IMO), that was ommitted on ep1&2.

I don't think Humans/Newmans should be shocked (temp. paralyzed), maybe dazed for a bit (inability to act or move for a second or 2). And we could just wiggle the thumbstick to quicken the process (like what's done when you get frozen. But we can't do anything bout that now, we're playing a finished product.

[Nai_Calus]

You don't remember it because it didn't happen. Shock was android-exclusive on DC. I've a friend who rants about this in the IRC channel I hang out on occasionally. I join the ranting, and then split off on a tangent and bitch about them making it so HUmars can't learn Shifta and Deband anymore. This especially pissed me off the other night when I found both Shifta and Deband, Lv.15. Rage.
...Actually, Shock is good. If it weren't for Shock, Vol Opt would be entirely too easy. Oh wait, he is anyways. >P

Who cares if they should, they are.

[Dime]

Let me shock you with a taser and see if you can walk afterward. Just be glad your HUmar doesn't bleed from the ears.

..
right..
I'll give you my two.... oh err... sorry Dime.. ten.. cents http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif

This was aimed at the creator of the topic, but hey if you want a shock get in line behind all the others.

[FinalHell]

uummm if u dont like it... dont play... thats wat there all is to it http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif

[Logical2u]

Well, shock is like a SHOCK TO YOUR NERVOUS SYSTEM/COMPUTER. it temporarly fries your brain/computer I guess... at least the droids have somethin to worry about.

[martian_man]

i always get shocked >.<

mmmmm the dc days*hugz everything*

[Mazarin]

Grab a fork, and shove it into an electric socket.

Lemme know if you can move.

Voluntarily.

[IceBlink]

It's good. Adds a little more realism to the game. ^_^

Though Humans and Newmans technically should be laid out flat on the floor from being electrocuted, but eh. ^_^

[MasterForce]

umm i stuck a fork in the elctric socket and uhhh it hurt like a muther. lol j/k im just being stupid but ya humans and newmans should be affected by shock

Why are people using real-life analogies to give explanation to the Shock status on PSO? The first topic never asked for explanation, it asked for your opinion on Shock. And mine is, it should be Android-exclusive. Either way, comparing PSO to real life is a bad thing, because then I might ask you to explain how "midget whores"(hunewearl) can carry massive swords twice the size of their bodies, or "little girls"(fonewearl) can shoot fireballs, etc.

[Lone_Wolf_Nasca]

Geez, whats the big deal anyway? Thats why theres sol atomizers for. Besides its not like shock stays on forever.

[ShadowJedi]

I'd say it like this:
Be &¤#%/% glad you're not PARALYSED.
That's what you SHOULD get from a f¤"(&ing lightning bolt in yer face!

[JGaff]

Though I am a HUcast and we don't get poisoned and paralyzed, we should get a kick in the rear with shock. Though other classes have techs, they ought to be compensated justly for the many other issues thay have to face while we take them for granted (trap vision for example)

~JGaff~

[Golden_Force]

Androids do not have the ability to use techniques what-so-ever. And their ability to use traps doesn't exactly make up for that. Though they do have much higher ATP and DFP and don't have to worry about maxing out MST and be a lot more focused, they still deserve another exclusive ability. One of those is the ability not to be affected by such ailements as Poison and Paralysis. However, they couldn't very well be immune to everything, or that would be pushing it. So Shock was made to level things out. Paralysis is just that, it completely shuts down most of the higher nervous functions other than the motory functions. Shock is much more of a quick powerful jolt that dissappates. An android wouldn't be affected by Paralysis becuase their system wouldn't respond to a condition targeting a thing so wonderful as a brain. However they are affected by Shock becuase it overloads their system. The reason Humans and Newmans are affected by Shock is because their systems woudl respond similarly to shock, but becuase they have a mind with the ability to tap into power that violates one of the laws of thermodynamics (wiggling fingers and then shooting out electricity is not comparable energy) they can be affected by Paralysis.

[Monomate]

i think you should fall to the ground and start convulsing like in real life...(woohoo! i made a taser out of a disposable camera and electrocute people in the leg...then their muscles clench and dey fall on their face...its so funny!)

^yes...i am sick...^

Amen. 9_9 Hey, guys, let's see your 3-foot tall slutty HUnny take a slash or three from a Delsaber in real life! Or even a big brawny HUmar! Is there going to be much left? Hell fuck no. PSO != Real Life. Even a Booma whacking you IRL oughta be enough to kill you. :-P Real life just doesn't apply to PSO, so saying Humans and Newmans should be affected by shock because in real life electricity will zap you something fierce is almost as silly as me saying I should be able to shoot instant death from my fingers because my FOmar can. Sheesh.

[Para]

well shock gave electric techniques a good use... now if they only affected other monsters as well..

[DarkSerge27]

They do affect monsters. Mainly just machines, but I've seen a few Boomas twitching here and there...

Wow i thought i was the only person that does that. Put the flash on! more effeective!! Baq to the topic... My Gizonde sometimes stuns monsters in the ruins... also some in the caves too. But alwayz in the mines (if i dont kill them fast enough)

[Zarana]

In a world with any justice, humans and newmans would be getting shocked on the same day androids come down with bouts of poison.

Edit: Oh, and furthermore, the status was originally called 'short'. Humans and newmans don't short circuit, so they had to give the entire status a name change just to justify it.

*shock*
ahhhh yeah....
*shock*
....ah...

[Lilknitemarethug]

hey im sorry but i think that only a fuking idiot would stik a fork in a socket.

[Nani-chan]

Of course it should effect everyone.. humans and newmans can cure the whole team using anti. If you're a fomarl or a fonewearl you can clear the whole room. Just because the game is made slightly tougher you will still survive. Heros are made from difficult situations. Don't whine.. deal with it and become legends. <.< =p

Or how anyone can take a couple of whacks from a Delsaber and come out with all limbs attached.

[Ayumu_Kasuga]

I know this was stated before, but on the DC version, Shock was called Short. It was the equivalent of Paralysis for andriods, but the catch was that it eventually wore off. Still does, of course, but since non-droids are already saddled with Paralysis (which doesn't wear off), why the hell should they be shorted, too? If humans and newmans get shorted, then my little fonewearl ought to be able to short any damn creature in the game (bosses excluded, this is a video game, ya know).

[Lucas2k4]

I hate shock. Stupid Vol Opt.

[St_Botchua]

yeah only the bots should be affected by shock there metal and all or least make our shock significantly quicker to go away than the ones they get

[lordinviso]

Of course they should be shocked. I like seeing HUmans and Newmans fry in electricity then can't even move while my HUcast runs around freely.

[Blade21]

ha i agree. Androids should have to taste the pain of having to remeber to carryextra items for condition. . . . .and then jump off a cliff. DEATH TO ALL ANDROIDS!!
