The Hive-Mind

I was just thinking, when you take the Bane Spider path do you think the story will impliment some form of the Hive-Mind that all Bane spiders have? I mean when fighting a Bane Spider can "access" the thoughts of all his Brother Selfs (as Banes call them....I suppose Sister Selfs too now) to see which of them fought said foe and whether any of your Other Selfs found a weakness that you could exploit.

so do you think that this will be implimented somehow and if so... how

I was thinking that it could be how Banes receive missions but it could easily be their Inherant, like maybe a defence bonus for other banes or arachnos on the team.

what do you guys think

An interesting idea, I think I heard mentioned somewhere that the player Bane Spider is "recently freed from Arachnos mind control" which could mean they don't get the hive mind. I could of course be reciting from my rear orifice.

I rememeber a dev saying that we would see enemie numbers (powers/dama/acc/def/res/etc) in the future with temp powers. Maybe the Banes have this hability inherently

What do you mean mean Kali? im not sure I follow what you mean.

I always assumed the Hive-Mind if introduced would be some form of boosted Perception and possibly defence, I do hope that the Hive-Mind is implimented and is part of the storyline of the Bane Spiders.

It could proly work like WS's Dark Sutenance inherit. For everyone Bane Spider close to you you get;
+Def
+Perception
etc.

I like this idea.

Maybe a similiar thing with Crab Spiders and recharge? As in the more Crab Spiders are around, the easier it is to find ammunition for your backpack. Or something

I failed at finding the post, but I remember someone asking to Castle to add debuffs to the watch list on the "real numbers", and Castle answered that they probably will add temp powers to see all the enemies numbers (life, powers, etc)

It appears that (currently) only Night Widows and Fortunatas get the Mind Link power, which is a clickly team buff to def, acc and psi resistance.

yes but do you think that the Hive Mind will arrise in the story line? since banes have that Hive mind to aid them in dealing with threats.

it might not be a power though

I imagine the player is deliberatly outside the hive mind, since playing a character withoit free will wouldn't be much fun.

It may be that arachnos prefers to keep some bane spider officers outside the hive mind to maintain the creativity of the leadership.

Could associated with inherent? I dunno if that's been mentioned already elsewhere and confirmed.

Anyway, storywise I could see the Hive Mind being used. It won't be the first mention of it and the first use of it or abuse of it as per the Gally/Hugo Arc. If the VEATs have begun to are eventually break away from Recluse/Arachnos then I can see some nice arcs with Bane Spider's recognising 'you' as an Outsider and Traitor due to not being linked into the Hive.

It'd be quite cool for some NPC Banes equally breaking away and allying themselves with 'you' as a saviour.

That is if they go down a rebellion route at all, if they did I'd prefer being completely loyal to Arachnos at first, but then down the line the arcs twist to that outcome.

Arbiters like Daos are fully commited the vision of Lord Recluse, I can see that certain Executioners could be loyal without will repression, better to have people close to you that aren't likely to 'snap out of it' and bonk you on the head, right? The Hive is more mass control to keep things even.

SoA don't have an inherent.

Ah, shame.

I believe the phrase is, "Bugger!"

TBH. I'm glad they don't have an inherent yet. Otherwise I would worry that they might be too dependent on it. Would be nice to get an inherent later though, as something a bit extra.

Maybe the Hive Mind could be a power.

Hive Mind- PBAoE: Control Bane Spider. When activated all (Player and yourself)Bane Spiders near you gain +Def and +ACC. All NPC Bane Spiders follow you and attack when you attack?

Oh, btw, we have an inherent.
