how about being able to travel 5 seconds into the future? would it make the whole game collapse? no, I don't think it would. I gave a very specific example of how it could be used. either to regress to YOUR earlier points or to YOUR future waypoint. it is stupid to think that you would have a game, where one player travels through time, and the game has to create an entire new instance for every one else to change in time also. that is just dumb. it should be just what I said it should be. an option for you to get a 'last chance' if you are about to die, to fix a mistake, to do something cool. as a person who has played video games since the 1970's, and as a person who has been a computer programmer since the early 1980's, I can see how easy it is to integrate the idea into the game. the ideas that the skeptics/trolls are proposing do not match what I proposed.
its just a game. it is not reality. you don't have to make the concept 100% authentic in the game. you just have to simulate it.
you would all be using it if you had one.
I will give a scenario how it can work.
you have to fight the most powerful ship in the galaxy. but you are not strong enough. you have 1 chance to make a lucky guess as to where to drop a mine at the point where he arrives to knock his shields out. but you don't know where he will arrive. after he arrives, you know where he lands. you go back in time 10 seconds. you drop the bomb. he comes in (special case since it is only 1 craft) and loses his shields, you defeat him. there are many scenarios where it could work.
