[tablescraps]

There's a digital conference on September 23rd. We'll be able to ask CC Corp questions about the game and its anomalies.

How clearly they'll answer, I don't know. But it may be worthwhile to pool together everyone's observations, speculations, and complaints here. Different people have seen different things in Fragment, and not a lot of that information is consolidated.

If you've commented on the forums with your observations before, or seen a worthwhile comment, then you can re-link it.

For example, on the topic of the level cap armor:
• UTA's post (in-game NPCs' warning against using it)
• Zelkova's response (indicating the armor was not an intended feature, nor are titles)
• UTA's comment (in-game NPCs claiming only two individuals can "create things")

If you want to talk about something offline for whatever reason, DM me. I don't really mind sharing my number or email.

( Mithrun mentally looks over to the flowers and the cards he'd received when he'd woken up... )

Maybe because I'd been unconscious for too long. My carer said he found my already unconscious in my apartment around noon, but I think I died not long after meeting with Matoba, and I recall I had to meet him very early my time due to time differences.

Alternatively... Maybe it's because the debuff communicated to my brain that I was "unconscious, indefinitely." My brain accepted that signal and acted accordingly. Because of the glitch scheduling no end time to my unconsciousness to my brain, or because the headset had been removed from me and I was thereby unable to receive "new" signals from the game, I was left in a comatose state.

If not for the NDA, it may be worth examining if the "death" state after being killed in-game is similar to a "comatose" state in regards to the level of brain activity present. It's possible that we're effectively comatose already every time we die, with a built-in end time and an ability to rouse from it (via headset removal), and my situation is just what happens when there is no end date set and the rousing upon headset removal mechanism malfunctions.

[matoba?..... oh. oh, that must be okoto. ok filing that away for later.]

yeah from what okoto said it sounds like it was really early for you

even if theres some sort of failsafe like that its still kind of bad that it can be glitched around in the first place. i dont like the idea of testing that. its playing around with leaving people braindead if you do it wrong, right?

maybe that s something to pin them on at the conference for some answers.

( CLOSES EYES PRETEND HE SAID 0KOTO THAT TAG mithrun is smarter than me. if only by slightly, )

That's true. I agree it's worth exploring. If in-game death already leave us in a coma-like state, or a state at the cusp of coma, there's a great risk associated with that - as we've seen, it's not impossible for a glitch to occur during that process. I'll make a note of that.

[MATOBA WHO (you're good)]

please dont test it on your own okay?

[tablescraps]

I won't. I don't have the equipment to verify if our brain waves are as inactive while "dead" as they are in a comatose person.

( and maybe because people are worried about him. maybe, )

[gluttoning]

equipment or not

you dont deserve to be in a coma again. we can figure something else out without putting your life at risk okay?

you cant really do what you want if youre asleep forever right?

[tablescraps]

( Hrmmmm... Barrett makes a good point. )

That's true. I won't intentionally render myself unconscious, then.

( But if he can find volunteers...? (jk) (unless?) )

[gluttoning]

good

thank you for taking care of yourself :-)
