Dungeon Rooms

In .hack//INFECTION thru .hack//QUARENTINE, the dungeon rooms are sealed off from the inside (and outside) when there's a fight with a monster right? Well, several times Kite can interupt other player's battles (Piros, Nuke Usagamaru), when in that case, the dungeon room should be completely sealed off from the inside and outside. Maybe Kite's the only one that can do this? (Maybe a side-effect of the bracelet.) What do you guys think?

hmmm, possible, but I don't think so, it could be possible that you could just enter the door from the outside, I mean, it would be pretty stupid to seal off a room so you can't progress just because someone's fighting, if the game can make it so that only certain people see certain treasure chests for quests, they can set it up so the doors are only locked for the party that's fighting a battle

Maybe the doors are only locked from the inside. IE, anyone can go in, but no one can leave. I mean, if in this is a MMORPG, you wouldn't want your party locked out because they weren't quite as fast as you running into the room.

Yes, but suppose someone didn't want another player to interupt their fight? Suppose some stranger came in while you almost deafeated a high level monster, and were about to get a boat-load of exp, and then the player finished of the monster, taking your hard earned experience points? What if some players were set out to do just that? That would arise some kind of complaints to the Sys. Admins, and they would have to do something about it, because then the effected players would quit playing, and wouldn't give CCcorp any money. The admin's probably wouldn't waste time trying to control all of these kinds of players, so the easist thing to do would be to close off all the rooms from the inside, and outside. It would be unlikely that there would be more than one party in the same field/dungeon at the same time (since there's so many keyword conbinations, and five severs, unless someone told a friend about a particular dungeon (which in Kite's case they did) or it's an event dungeon, in which case the doors would either be open and "anything goes", or they would all be closed, and whoever got to the Gott statue first, won or whatever.(Beat that!

well, maybe players can set it so that people can interupt their battles if they want or...something...I dunno, I'm tired and I just fell down the stairs, meh ~.~

An option like that could be easilly hacked, or the players would find some way around it. (Maybe two people could use the option at the same time, and run though the dungeon without fighting any monsters.) Or some idiot would abuse the priveledge, and invite 100 of their friends (in seperate parties obcorse) into one dungeon room just for the hell of it, and because they can.

First, the sheer number of areas would usually prevent someone from 'stealing' a monster. Not to mention that people trying to do that would, more often then not, enounter the high-level monster alone. So, it's not exactly something I can see someone doing as a habit.

Second, I doubt it's an option, because it's a group of three. What if one person has it on, but another has it off?

Third, why would even invite 100 friends? Not only would that be impossible to begin with, so let's say 10, but groups are maxed at 3. So, only 3 people are getting the exp. While most high-level monsters have area-effect attacks, so any low-level people would die facing it anyway.

Makes more sense that you can't leave, but anyone can enter. *shrug*

Notice the word "Idiot". Idiots are people who do stupid, meaningless things (like inviting 100 people into one dungeon room), for no appearent reason at all. You could get 100 people in a big dungeon room, and even if you couldn't, Idiots would try it anyway, like to crash the system for their own amusement. That would cause some kind of trouble.

well, there's probably something that would prevent something like that, it could be possible that there's a limit to how many people can be in a certain feild at a time or something

If there was indeed a limit, then people would start to complain. Notice how many people are logged on to the world at one time. The popular keywords would constantly be full, forcing others to use some crappy places to train.

You could invite 100 people regardless, though. There are FIELD portals, remember, that everyone has access too. Doesn't make sense to restrict access in the dungeon like that.
