alright dudes i just think L should only have one mask because him and his task force wearing masks 24/7 aint good most Ls will make crappy reasons to wear them and other then that there task force has them and to add to it.. the masks respawn so everyone in Ls task force and there dog can have one !! they remove kiras possbily only chance of getting mosts Ls names aka eyes.. seriously L rarely takes the mask off willingly ith his task force. most of them metagame about eyes and get all paranoid when someone looks at them and then you have the crappy reasons to wear them well.. masks are cool... (( obvious metagame reason not to get eyed ) they hide my idenity .... really ? i dont know about you but some masked person questioning me about kira doesnt look suspcious at all.. .. a number of other reasons.. so i just say let there be one mask.. so L doesnt get a unstopable group of gun handleing unkillable men/women..

Hopefully people listen and learn on my Servers, I've had L's take off their masks before because their reason for wearing was not good enough in my opinion, I think if we continue doing that people will learn and only use them when they know about Eyes or the fact that Kira needs a name and face. On my Servers when I see an L or anyone with a mask I first ask why they are wearing it, then I ask for their evidence that Kira needs a name and face. I've told plenty of L's that their theories don't have enough proof to actually warrant a mask and make them take it off. I tell them that they can't even really suspect name and face with their theories because their isn't enough proof. The thing I've decided against the most is people saying 'We looked through the public files of the dead people and it has their names and faces.' The problem with that is, they also have a wealth of other information, you can't just say that because it has those two things that YOU, the player, knows Kira needs.

>.> i run for M most of the time, and when i get it, if a masked man questions me i genrally roleplay as if i think he's from a diffrent gang and when he turns away i RP knifing them in the back

I don't see the sense in masks at all. Either remove them and make them a host verb or put them back in the shop. In other words, I agree with Damion on the matter.

Masks can get extremely annoying when others don't have a good enough reason to have them on.. I agree with Damion, on this matter.

Masks were added due to extremely high demand; I will not be removing them. However, I think a better idea is for there to be a way to force remove masks or for there to be official requirements. Or better yet-- some masks don't totally work. But.. I think the real problem lays in shinigami eyes. In dno2, lifespans aren't just health; you age and change. The eyes will be very risky then. I think that much will discourage eyes.. And with that, masks will be very rare, and some won't work (not full face etc.).

that wont discourage the eyes one bit. same as removing the mask from someone in fact L will proambly yell your kira and shoot you before you can do anything they,ll do anything for the win heck everytime im shini kira acts like its no big deal and they make the deal when L has his mask off or someones around they hate L will always find some werid reason to wear a mask and im sure some gray hairs aint gonna stop Kira for trying to kill L this game is based on rounds so if kira wins the round who cares how they look by the way how much would average time for a life span be i mean it,d be kinda dumb if someone spawns with 10 minutes gets kira and dies of natural causes 9 minutes later

In DNO2, lifespans are roughly 2 - 3 hours, but can be changed by hosts.

I have a question about the shinigami eyes this is just related to consistency. In the manga a person's lifespan was determined by when they died not based on say rate of aging are you planning to compensate for that or simply increase the aging factor. If anything They should die at a younger age as their time to live has been vastly shortened well at least that's my suggestion anyway. Also again about the lifespans could you possibly randomize it between 2-3 or 4 hours since obviously lifespan is different for everyone? Very interested in the lifespan and aging system and would like to know a few more specifics just to clarify. Is your lifespan going to be visible to you through your character screen or will only shinigami eyes be able to tell how long you've got left. It seems like a very intricate system if done correctly could add to the overall play experience.

Lifespans are chosen randomly at character creation, they're between 2 - 3 hours by default or up to 4 at maximum. Shinigami eyes cuts that time in half. Your lifespan will only be visible by eyes, but you'll have an Age, which gives you a general estimate.

Will the age start counting automatically or will the hosts have a "Begin Game" verb to use? I know that sometimes people will login and make their characters but the host will wait (sometimes up to a full hour) for more people to create, then there's always the commotion during role selection, etc... it seems that the people who had created at the beginning would be at a serious disadvantage to those who came in only minutes or seconds before role selection.

I'm thinking a round start, where everybody is summoned to where Roles will be picked, and lifespans start, etc.

Instead of the mask, you should make L's hideout not so, so easy to break into.

Or something.
