I'd rather want to know why after all the shit that happened in SAO these Nervegear things still exist.
It's a videogame console that killed more than 3000 people in 2 years, how is this shit not banned everywhere? In Australia they banned the uncut version of games like Saint's Row 4 because of it's violence and nudity, but Nips don't ban a console that killed over 3000 people?

Here's an idea, kill it with a big magnet.

Why don't you microwave the microwave with an EMP nigga, people just didn't care at all did they?
I think everyone stopped trying when the entire world became 1000000% better when all the people who buy MMOs on launch day fell into a coma.
>>134387155
If the PS2 killed 100,000 people people would still buy a PS3 guaranteed
>>134387155
Nervegear was taken from the market, the Amusphere was put out in its place, it's way weaker than the Nervegear, so the experience isn't as great, but it is safe.
Haven't you been paying attention?
Any sane person should just report this thread for trolling.
>>134387155
It was probably banned and recalled but the newer version which people used for ALO was probably allowed since it doesn't use the deadly microwaves.
>>134387192
I guess that'd work, yeah. Dunno how exactly it affects machines but if it makes it all crash at once, it works.
Either way there's no way some engineers wouldn't have figured something out in the two years it took to get them out of here.
>>134386688
I am pretty sure it could be tampered and removed without issues, but people with shit taste still needs the anime/novels to keep going about a pathetic kid getting the girl in a videogame.
You could literally just pull it off really quickly
inb4 you can't take it off while someone is connected
inb4 even if you can it might harm them because their nerves are connected or some shit
Kirito himself said that the only way to log off would be for someone to remove it when klein was freaking out about the logout button

She was probably well aware. It's pretty common for people to do things online they'd be too afraid to do in real life. That's the whole idea behind roleplaying. She's a meek, shy loner girl with no confidence or self esteem who roleplays online as a sexy and confident femme fatale, living out her repressed desires for attention, control and sexuality through an avatar of her own creation. She's exposing her ass online because she'd never do it in real life, and wants to be someone that she's not in real life.

>>134386688
This whole NerveGear just doesn't make any sense.
Kayaba shouldn't even be able to release gear with a fucking high-power microwave generator inside, not to mention everything needed for it to work, like power source (I believe that you need a bit more bit more than few AA batteries worth of power to instantly fry a brain with microwaves) and electronics. Unless he personally put that shit in every device (which would require empty space left for no reason), someone involved in production should've realised that something is VERY wrong.
Even assuming that he miraculously managed to put a microwave oven in NerveGear, people on the outside were able to freely toy with devices left after noobs that died first. Yes, those were fried, but not burnt to ashes or shred to pieces, it should be perfectly possible to find a way to disarm the device. The players would be free after less than a week.
jokes aside I still don't understand what made this popular.
especially the animu, I didn't even read it but I bet it skipped tons of shit.
With technology so advanced how come they couldn't figure out to save others?
Why was kirito so strong despite being a solo player?

Why didn't they just break the helmets, or remove everything what powers them up?
Why didn't the government or someone study the nervegear more closely?
What was the actual motivation of the villain, if it was not only to mass murder people?
Why did he actually help others, if his they would die?
Why would let anyone to actually allow a person which is mentally unstable be in charge of something what is dangerous?
Why would someone buy and use such a dangerous device which is messing with human brain itself which is untested.
Why people get into a game again which already killed so many before?
Why did hospitals allow everyone to be on life support for so long, if noone was sure if they are going to come back, also that would cost a lot of money considering how many people played it?
whyyyyyyyy~
>>134388549
Government was colluding with the company for brain control research. The company was obviously in on the whole thing - otherwise, they wouldn't be able to instantly transfer x% of the players from SAO to the elf game.
>>134388186
You're clearly just not looking hard enough.
>>134388549
>With technology so advanced how come they couldn't figure out to save others?
It's the future, who knows? The author sure didn't.
>Why was kirito so strong despite being a solo player?
Autismal grinding + luck. Aside from having people to help you out when you get Stunned or whatnot, SAO actually de-incentivizes partying due to small mob sizes and friendly attacks getting in the way. Grinding in a party is oftentimes inefficient.
>Why he didn't used his admin powers before if he could do it?
What?
>Why didn't they just break the helmets, or remove everything what powers them up?
Because ultra-strong battery or something.
>Why didn't the government or someone study the nervegear more closely?
>>implying the author cared
The moral of the story is that deregulation can be dangerous, and there are some government entities you should try to keep open.
>What was the actual motivation of the villain, if it was not only to mass murder people?
For people to come live in his fantasy world. He wanted to watch his super-immersive grindy as fuck JRPG experience come to life.
>Why did he actually help others, if his they would die?
What?
>Why would let anyone to actually allow a person which is mentally unstable be in charge of something what is dangerous?
Sociopaths are oftentimes quite capable of blending into society.
>Why would someone buy and use such a dangerous device which is messing with human brain itself which is untested.
It was tested. Poorly, apparently.
>Why people get into a game again which already killed so many before?
Fun.
>Why did hospitals allow everyone to be on life support for so long, if noone was sure if they are going to come back, also that would cost a lot of money considering how many people played it?
It was expensive. No one in government wants to be responsible for killing 10K people.
>>134388549
>Why did hospitals allow everyone to be on life support for so long, if noone was sure if they are going to come back, also that would cost a lot of money considering how many people played it?
It wasn't America, mate. You don't just throw people out of hospitals in civilised countries.
Why didn't they just shut down the servers?
MMOs don't operate on hopes and dreams, they need some fucking hardware to sustain that many players.
So unless there was some server farm in a warehouse somewhere keeping all these players logged in they would have D/Ced eventually

if they lost connection to the servers the microwave ovens would activate and kill everyone
>>134389988
>Why didn't Kirito wield a two handed sword or a shield on his lower levels if its would be actually more pratical?
This is a legit Frodo, but Rule of Cool holds.
>Why is dual wielding two long swords encouraged despise it makes more difficult to move and attack too and on top of it making others more open to attacks?
See note 1, supra.
>Why didn't the nervegears internal batteries run out of juice?
If they were allowed to drop below a certain battery level, the microwave thing would kick in. Hence, people were careful to keep them on shore power.
>How did people have that much money that they could pay the hospitalization bills?
The government paid for it.
>Why didn't the bad elf guy made Asuna's cage more fortified?
He's an overconfident ass.
>Why did the exact same people get into the game again after being on life support for so long, that would cause at least some mental shock, no?
Stockholm Syndrome + difficulty adjusting to mundanity. Same reason people sign up for repeat tours in Afghanistan.
>Why didn't kirito transform into a monster more times?
Rule of Cool.
>Why did some people think that they can live happily in the game if they are aware they in coma on the other side?
That's a question of metaphysics and values. Some people like the beautiful fiction more.
>Why did the villain seem like a good guy at the end, despite murdering a lot of people?
Stockholm Syndrome + he was exercising his own twisted sense of fair play.
>Why didn't he allow people to quit his game the time they want it, so he could go on without being the bad guy?
Because he had a hard-on for being the final boss.
>Why didn't the government track down the servers and their power supplies?
Because if they were to DC people, the microwaves would kick in. (Doesn't explain why they didn't try to get physical access and hack the servers, however, so half a Frodo.)
>>134390192
Why did he actually wanted to be a final boss, despite he actually helped the players?
Why didn't they just disabled the nervegear with magnets?
Why did they allow Nervegear to exist in the first place?
Why did the players survive so long after being exposed to 0/24 microwaves with the gear on?
Why noone tried to solve how nervegear actually functions if it has a few hours where it can be disconnected, hence they the players had to be transported to the hospitals?
Why did these people recover from being on life support so easily as if nothing happened not mentally but physically too?
>>134389988
>Why did the villain seem like a good guy at the end, despite murdering a lot of people?
I honestly think Kirito was just desperate for a father figure at that point.
>>134390683
Now we're getting some better Frodos.
>Why did he actually wanted to be a final boss, despite he actually helped the players?
Chalk this one up to a guy who likes playing games with people's lives. It's illogical, and that's the point.
>Why didn't they just disabled the nervegear with magnets?
We have a winner. The Nervgear is the big glaring plot-hole in the show.
>Why did they allow Nervegear to exist in the first place?
Yep. The product liability suit would be truly impressive.
>Why did the players survive so long after being exposed to 0/24 microwaves with the gear on?
Low power microwaves are actually pretty safe - you're bathed in them 24/7 already, since they're used in some forms of long-range comms. Moreover, since it's impossible to actually interface with a brain using microwaves, you kinda just have to suspend disbelief on this point.
>Why noone tried to solve how nervegear actually functions if it has a few hours where it can be disconnected, hence they the players had to be transported to the hospitals?
The implication was that they actually had to maintain connectivity during transport. Presumably they used portable cell modems, and were very careful.
>Why did these people recover from being on life support so easily as if nothing happened not mentally but physically too?
Huge fucking plothole. People start to deteriorate within days of being bedridden; Kirito shouldn't be able to walk, let alone knife-fight, after he wakes up.
Pic related is also a problem.

>>134391054

>>134391069
Because the microwaves were somehow part of the interface system. Roll with it.
The real Frodo is how the FCC and Japan's equivalent certifying body didn't catch that it had such a wide power envelope.
>>134391054
because then the helmets would activate their failsafe upon losing the connection and kill the players

Why did Asuna look so healthy despite her being on life support for long too?
Why did the antagonist decide that they could leave despite the players didn't actually fulfilled what he expected?
Why did he expect that people will be strong enough to actually see the "dungeon's" end if they could barely endure halfway?
Why did he designed to be so hard that basically it was unbeatable or people would die in real life due to extremely long life support time?

No. Remember, kids: English is a magical language, and if an entire country in real life can't figure it out, surely a bunch of AI you've bred can't, either!

She wasn't. A-1 doesn't want to make cute girls uncute.
>Why did the antagonist decide that they could leave despite the players didn't actually fulfilled what he expected?
Because he was a massive chuuni and thought it was cool as hell that the MC and MH broke the limitations of the game just like one of his Chinese cartoons!

Yes. Kirito can do SAO's Sword Skills in UW because the government programmers never disabled them. The Big Bad for the first half of the arc cheated her way to power by figuring out English and console commands.
Why the fuck did Suguha get into ALO? Don't you think she'd have some repercussions about a derivative of the device that put her "brother" in a 2 year life or death scenario?
How the fuck did Kirito beat Suguha after exiting SAO? Muscle deterioration aside, Sugu trained with actual swords while Kirito just played video games with auto-activating skills.
How did Kirito win a knife fight with a grown man when he is a middle-schooler with muscle deterioration?
You'd think after 2 years they would have came up with something that would allow them to safely remove the things

Nigga it's a machine that lets you feel all 5 senses in a virtual environment. I don't know much about sensory feedback but using waves to send signales to the brain is probably the only way to do it without some weird surgery. So having something that sends microwaves isnt that shocking.
Btw a taser has a small battery and can go up to 1 000 000 volts or something like that.
Couldn't they just use an EMP ? The device stops working entirely.
>>134402063
>I don't know much about sensory feedback but using waves to send signales to the brain is probably the only way to do it without some weird surgery
This is probably true in the real world but in SAO the device is just put over your head and it works. Also, a taser requires sustained contact and even the most powerful electric shocks won't kill 100 percent of the time.
>>134390003
That's actually a joke in the abridged version. Sachi has really terrible lag, which is what ends up killing her.
>>134402011
I actually don't remember shit from WoW tutorial, since I only played WoW once or twice in my life.
So I don't know how good its AI is.
Why does this thread exist?
Seriously, stop asking "why couldn't they just...", because the answer to all of those questions is "It's SAO".
A more reasonable question would be: why did this get so popular when there are so many other wish-fulfillment manga, VNs, or anime and whatnot.
>>134402574
It's about as intelligent as a brick.
>>134391257
They still had life half the floors to go
>>134404785
Only a quarter.
>>134386730
so, remove the helmet while its on, it will just slip off.
>>134398590
The government probably wouldn't have but some bored hacker would have done something in 2 years
Especially since they could get nervegears since not everyone got into sao, so they literally had direct access to it
>>134405008
>The government probably wouldn't have
Based on what? Several thousand people were stuck in that game.
>>134404837
That's 25 would be floors to go on max level
>>134405098
And the 75th floor boss is a one hit killer.
>>134405058
Even better
Government and bored hackers and electricians
What's really hilarious is that there was no one in the world who knew how to just shut them down. Did the villain make them all himself in his basement and just somehow get them into stores as a consumer item? They has to be designed and manufactured by some company.
None of the engineers knew how it worked? None of tehm thought it was weird to give it the ability to emit life threatening amounts of microwaves?
How did the thing even get approved for shelves?
None of it makes any sense because the writer didn't even think for two seconds before shitting all over the page.
>>134405124
Think about how long SAO's lifespan would've been given the amount of content if it hadn't been a death game.
We're talking like 10+ years before DLC is needed.
Hell it took people 3 yrs to get to the 75th floor and that was with thousands of people playing 24/7 with their actual lives on the line.
Big bad would've been a multi billionaire if he released it as an actual game. With that money he coulda done even crazier mass murder, he coulda trapped everyone in the game when it reacher 100,000,000 daily players.
>>134405275
It would have been cleared so much easier without the horrible threat of death though. Plus, more than 10k players, probably.
>>134405338
I don't know about that.
You'd have to try it in real life to actually know whether or not that'd happen.
I'd say 10k players who play the game 24/7 would be far more skilled at clearing the game than 100k players playing 3-8 hours a day.
When you playing nothing but a game every single day you tend to get really really good
They should've used The Matrix's explanation about how the body reflects the virtual self, that would've been a much better explanation than lol microwaves.
>>134405425
Ultimately, Levels > Skills.
With safe and easy grinding, they would have blazed past.
>>134405433
How funny would it have been if dying in the game actually just woke you up, but getting unplugged fried your brains.
Also I want to see how the moms who removed their kid's nervegear because they were being filthy NEETs reacted to their kid's brain getting microwaved.
SAO was a subtle message to parents to leave their kids be when they playin online games
>>134405484
SAO seemed super exploitable with strategy given the player mobility though. I don't think Kirito was the best because he was overleveled but because he was just a swordplayfag (didn't they explain it with "lol kendo" or something)
>>134405578
No, he quit kendo pretty young. He's just really good at the game.
>>134405239
Read the fucking thread.
It was not question of someone could hack the system. It was about no one wanting to take responsibility for killing thousands of people. No matter how small chance there is.
>>134406047
Why open your door in the morning what if you accidentally cause a molecular reaction the butterflies into nuclear annihilation?
>>134405275
>Big bad would've been a multi billionaire if he released it as an actual game.
He already was pretty rich.
>>134406101
He'd be rich enough to afford servers that could take the world hostage instead of 10,000 Japanese nerds.
>>134406157
He wasn't stupid enough to take an American citizen hostage.
>>134406047
But that's fucking retarded. The responsibility would still lie with teh manufacturer of teh product. When the breaks on several Toyota models started to malfunction in the 2000's, Toyota wasn't like, "If we don't do a recall, they won't know it's our fault!"
That's an absurd argument. And again, how the fuck do teh peoiple who made the fucking system not know that these things were a par tof it?
Someone had to have put the microwave emitter in the helmet. They engineers that designed and commissioned the manufacturing of the head sets had to have known that they were capable of. This is basic fucking logic.
It makes no god damn sense.
>>134406284
Was the manufacturing done in-house? I don't remember.
>>134406364
Even if it were, it would have had to have been approved. And even then, were all the people who worked at his company murderers that wanted to melt peoples' brains with microwaves?
And if he made them all himself, which is ridiculous, how did they get approved? Did he just walk to the local game store and say, "Sell my thing!" and no one said anything?
No matter how you look at it, it's stupid as hell.
>>134406047
And as said earlier, if not the government, bored hackers who don't give a shit
>>134405433
The better explanation would have been electrical sensors like some prosthetics have, and that when they're turnedo n the brain is in read/write mode like a HDD, and so doing shit to it is like a HDD fault. Comas and death.
>>134404954
And possibly make them fucking braindead in the process.
>>134393538
This nigga spittin' fire
>>134406809
If you just fucking take it off really fast I doubt it would have to make you brain dead, let alone turn on the damn death mechanism before your head is off
>>134406938
It's connected to your brain, dude. It has nothing to do with the death mechanism.
It's removing it while it's connected that might fuck you up.
>>134406965
Kirito himself said you could take it off
He said the only way to get out would be for family to remove it when klein was freaking out in episode 1
>>134393538
Dangerous video games are a constitutional right now?
>>134406992
That seems way dangerous.
>>134387155
Many people died in car accidents, why they don't ban cars?
Same with cigarettes and cancer.
>>134407019
Seems dangerous according to us, but apparently safe in the magical world of the future according to beater jesus
>plot device that can resurrect "dead" people after ten seconds of their deaths
Everyone forgets that the death mechanism was triggered with a delay. Just slit your throat then take off the helmet.
>>134405508
Filthy neet detected
>>134386688
Too technical.
>>134390017
How the fuck did they move everyone to the hospital without disconnecting the helmets from the Ethernet cable? Is the author really this retarded?
>>134391249
You miss-spelt "Nuke", it's ok, they both do the same thing
>>134386959
This. If it works like described, nothing is actually stopping it from being removed.
While on the topic of VR MMOs, why did that one guy in .hack//sign get hurt when that weird glitch monster destroyed his character? As far as I'm aware the VR in .hack//sign was just a HMD and didn't interface with the brain directly.
>>134408091
>Ethernet cable
This world that has fully immersive VR MMOs also having stable wireless internet connections everywhere should be one of the easier things to accept
>>134408281
He was such a little bitch he threw a fit when he died and punched his monitor
>>134390683
>Why did they allow Nervegear to exist in the first place?
The best anti frodo is that Army wants it for the next generation of kill droids or cyborgs.
>>134408382
Why? they can just sell nervegear to the muslims and then kill them with microwaves
>>134398590
No amount of nice nursing is going to stop your body from deteriorating from being in a coma for two years
holy shit OP unplug yourself
>>134408304
He had an ethernet cord plugged into the Nervegear in the first ep, unless the thing is also always connected to the wifi then it would have had to be disconnected for a short period before accessing said wifi. That is unless the power cable looks like an Ethernet cable...
I dont know its been a while since I actually watched the show and seeing how the show turned out I'm in no rush to go back and re-watch it
>anons rewatching and actually getting into SAO just to answer the frodos.
>>134390192
>Because he had a hard-on for being the final boss.
I think it'd be more interesting if instead of killing people it'd just reset their stats to lv1 again.
Sure there wouldn't be such a rush. but people wouldn't have been so cautious as well. Heathcliff probbably didn't think they'd take so long getting to the top. I mean seariously it took years when you play all day everyday. Thats gotta be like the the top 5 hardest to reach level capps in the world
>>134399011
>being studied
senpai when I fucked ligaments in my knee and had to have my leg immobilized long enough for them to kinda heal this is part of the therapy I had.
It's pretty neat really, you fix 2 nodes to a specific part of the muscle and then it sends a charge into the pads which causes the muscle to contract.

Correct me if I'm a dumbass, or if i'm too drunk to be posting, but couldn't a large enough magnet fuck with your biological functions?
>>134386939
Then why don't you microwave the battery?
>retarded SAO thread
>189 replies and counting
Alright, I'ma just go sage this and leave /a/...
>>134412975
Yeah, a big enough magnet would easily shred you.
Why the fuck did Big Bad even give them an opportunity to get out
>>134414760
A bit of hope will make people work a lot harder. That's what a game master like him would want.
At a certain point in time, you just have to roll with the fact that killer microwave helmets were made. It's the future with futuretech; speculating about Japanese FCC is pointless and ultimately irrelevant. It's part of the setting. "How did this pass government inspection?" is as irrelevant as "Why do elves innately have high magic potential?" They just do.
>>134414760
He dreamed of a scenario where a hero would take down him being Big Bad in this epic clash of swords, and you can really increase the tension if you actually have a goal to strive for. In short, Kayaba was a giant chuuni who probably read Jump every week.
