Tobacco in WR

Re: my 2cp

I think adding smokes to the game is a great idea. The different smokes could add various wisdom or intelligence buffs for the different casters, and as the negative effect could decrease stamina or strength for the duration. (I think stamina sounds like a realistic decrease for smoking).

That, in my experiences, depends entirely on WHAT exactly you're smoking.
 
Never tried any actual drugs myself, so sorry if im totally missing out...but from what ive seen (yes, suprise suprise, I have friends :D ) smoking anything will DECREASE all of your stats....

Yeah I kind of agree with this, it should DECREASE stats....

I think smoking is stupid imo.... but that's just me. But I do have to agree I enjoy watching people act like complete morons...

Good for you. Talking out of one's ass about subjects one has no clue about is a time-honored human tradition.
 
Sounds like a good idea, and the various smokeables should affect you in different ways.

For those who believe that it should kill all of your stats, talk to my monk after smoking amphetamines or PCP.

I will be unstoppable.

Seriously though, it's a good idea and should supplement the casters more so than the tanks, because (and I know a lot of people are going to go OH MAN NO WAY THATS BULL) smoking some things does in some ways or another assist in the thought processes. I don't even mean that in a dumb "oh man im so blitzed and you ever think about BLACKHOLES DUDEEEE" but still, there have been many people out there who have realized some rather enlightening things while under the influence.

I mean shit, look at Shamans historically. Or Mexican priests who used Salvia Divinorum all the time. Same deal really.
 
Raoul Duke: I wouldn't dare go to sleep with you wandering around with a head full of acid, wanting to slice me up with that goddamn knife.

Dr. Gonzo: Who said anything about slicing you up, man? I just wanted to carve a little Z on your forehead.

Sounds like a great idea to me. Perhaps this could be made a tradeskill of its own, Tobacco Crafting.

Great idea!!
I have alwayse wanted to be able to smoke tobacco in EQ!! No serious!

Dont understand why some of you are against smoking tobacco in EQ. Its just going to be like clicking a potions, but instead with a cigarette or cigar graphic in your inventory.

Are we going to haveto buy lighters/matches? Could add lighter recipe to tinkering skill...

Great idea Wiz. :D :D :D

Edit: Its going to be like Spices in Star Wars Galaxies... kinda
 
That you don't like an idea is no reason to derail a thread with "LOL LUNG CANCER".

Maybe I should also add "Liver Injuries" for people with high alcohol tolerance oh ho ho ho.

Irrelevant crap deleted.

Can we not turn this into a Truth commercial? Thanks.

I agree. For all you retards going on about the dangers of smoking, I can assure you that every smoker in the world is already well aware and probably doesn't give a shit.

An idea, all the same: Perhaps for the duration of the inhalant something akin to a mana buff? Small, comparable to FT2 or something. I mean, some hallucinogens have allowed for flowing thoughts, so it's not too much of a stretch.
 
Pelg: Hey! What's wrong with Darb? He's having trouble breathing after that last skirmish and has been coughing alot lately...

Veldar: He's been smoking alot of those cigars from Halas for a while... And now he has Virtual Blacklung.

:p

Hmm.... Compare the effects of tobbaco use versus alcohol use. I'm pretty sure there's a helluva lot more Alcoholics Anonymous type groups that Smokaholics Anonymous. This, of course, is assuming we're talking about tobbaco, and not other drugs. One kills your lung, one kills your liver. Both pretty bad, but you oughta understand the risks before you take 'em.

Anyway, was there a diffinite answer on whether this was going to be its own, new tradeskill? Or will it replace another? Dunno much on the capabilities of the programming, myself. /shrug
 
I am not 100% against this idea, and once implimented(since im a pure caster) i will undoubtably use this skill. However, for the sake of arguement, and not counting liver damage from being drunk 24/7...smoking, no matter how little, IS permanant damage that will follow you around. I think the latest statistic 1 cig. = 7 minutes off your life(how the hell do they come up with this???) anyways, alcohol will let you have fun for a short while, then your liver goes to town and your body never knows the difference. Look up pictures of smokers lungs...you might quit :eek:
