A pop-up text alert is imho a perfectly valid form of alert. Somebody actually attending the game (and not the TV) would see it and it COULD provide a degree of protection when you are so busy doing something else you miss the admin talking to you.


I know I've almost missed admin tells, and I never use combat macros of any kind. When I'm hunting hot and heavy I'm watching the mobs, my spell bars, my Find It! loot box and not chat.

I agree, unless you filter combat, if you pulling "pit duty" in EO, you will miss every single message sent to you because the damage messages are coming so fast.

In my opinion is bs: even if i don't ucm, at least not since a long ago because of time and even if when i did i used to turn off the sounds cause i hated the gongs, i think this is like hiding behind a finger.


Why taking it out now?


And anyhow for me the best admin alarm always been the tripple gong: only admins sends you 3 tells at the same time when they test you so tripple gong > admin alarm.

Not really ... we were given configurable chat windows for a reason. I put my combat and magics into chat window 1 ... have it placed just above the top edge of my spell bars. General chat is in chat window 2 (normally closed). I go into EO to do my ripper quests and never miss tells - if people use the chat windows to move some of the stuff out of main chat screen, they'd not miss them either

The thing I don't understand is the whole rush. Why macro 2 months to 275 instead of hunting yourself for a year or two. I find it very funny when people complain that they can not get their augmentation's faster cause they have so much experiance saved up, most likely, from macroing 24/7. If you actually hunted yourself and took your time then maybe there wouldn't be all that xp laying around. You get it as you need it for your augmentations.

Never been in a good experience chain I see. Which for many years, was perfectly legal (but then again, so was macroing), and even after the chain change, if you have 4 or 9 very active vassals (macroing or not), you can litterally log in to billions of XPs a day. All perfectly legal, and all without running a single plugin.

because I dont want to wait a year or 2 just to finish my template for pk


if I could finish my template at lvl 240, there would be no reason for me to go past that by macroing.

But 'Its the Journy' not the 'Destiation' that counts right


Guess this is why I never tried Lifetank...it was made I remember to get around Elgar trying to enforce the CoC on tank.


Good to see it on the path to recovery

This game will not be around in two years. So get it done as fast as possible.
