Great concept, and unlike some of the lazy twats on here trolling , you are trying to instill a new idea on playing a game what's so wrong about that people??

[garthshoe]

@mugwuffin22 thanks! I don't worry about the people who don't get it. It's an experiment, and not everybody will understand the reason for it.

[wyatt12k]

this isnt very efficient

[garthshoe]

It's not about efficiency. It's about a new kind of gaming experience.

[orginallos]

great idea, but this, kinda, makes you tired? I dont think you could raid with this setup, also to low fps to realy use it. though, great idea! 5/5

[garthshoe]

Yup, you'll get tired. The idea was to explore a new way of playing the game. You're right that it wouldn't be practical to raid with other people who are using their keyboards.

And the slow frame rate was because the machine driving it was really old. We are getting a new machine for the lab soon.

if every wow player got one of those only if they had mounts they would get one free imagine how many players would lose weight?

[Brainiz619Enigma]

i wish if this game would be played like this.not by computer but by excersing.we could say to the guild:LETS GO RAID.

NAH...IAM TIRED AND MY FEET HERTS

This is amazing... i tried to do a similar thing using glove pie trying to get all the moves synced with a motion.. but there are too many.... i think it calls for macros to work efficiently in a proper dungeon or battleground
