In the image you posted of Queen’s Gauntlet foes, you list Doobroosh as having a variable weight of 150-450. (I think, don’t have it in front of me.)

This is OBVIOUSLY a VIOLATION of the law of conservation of mass. Did you not think your players would notice?

And I know the white knight ArenaNet apologists will run in here to claim that matter is conserved and Doobroosh is just converting energy between forms, but if that’s true, why wouldn’t they just come out and say it? Are they too busy in China to give the playerbase an appropriate response to this glaring oversight?

Shame!

Most science logic in a game forces a “404: logic not found” error. Otherwise, how can you explain a character carrying up to 40 thousand gold ingots? Or 40 thousand planks of wood? Not only is the first example going to weigh quite a bit (possibly several tons), the second example is going to be awkward to carry considering the planks are going to be up to 6 feet in length.

But DnD also has bags of holding, which are much like worm hole bags. Maybe thats what all of our bags are, bags of holding with different pocket dimensions. But for the variable weight of Doobroosh, it would seem that his petuitary gland is somehow flawed, and with the hormonal imbalance this dramatically effects his size and weight.

You are mistaken.

Mass and weight are not (quite) the same thing. Of course Doobroosh’s mass remains constant, but gravity fluctuates to produce a variable weight.

I thought that might be the case at first as well, but the variable “weight” is listed on international language options as well. Those should be in kilos. So mass.

If that does not soothe my anger all this stored up energy inside of me explodes and I lose it!

The megaserver DOES allow for other players to work together with others from other servers. However, the addition if an in-game mass spectrometer would allow for more secure analysis of the BMI of the NPC in question. Without it the chances for correctly deducting the BMI of a player are subject to failure. As I’ve explained before.
