/yell

Is there a projected update coming to the /yell command? I love the feature, but singling it out in Jeuno alone seems like a waste.

What if /yell in a town reached every town zone in the game? It would give everyone a chance to hang out in the town they want without missing much of anything, and clear up congestion issues to boot. Or how about /yell in a field/dungeon reaching every zone in that region?

They already said it's a huge server drain, so if they did it it'd only work for that city.

dont think they are going to change it at all. unless you want to server to start crashing every day

And people think more AH wont be...
And that dude that wanted LS on and off notifications. Oi.



How about instead increasing /shout to an entire zone like it always should have been. -_-

The AH is the biggest drain on the server.

Where did they say that? I must've missed it.

When they first announced /Yell

They were either lying or clueless. I suspect the second. No reason for yell not to include every city.

The all towns feature would be great. It's more of a nuisance than a benefit currently, as it has caused people to do all sorts of double shouts.

Almost forgot to quote this, as I agree with this as well. I never understood the purpose of shout if it didn't reach the entire zone.

As we have not seen the code that runs this game, we don't know.

In a well written game of today's standards this would be the case, at the time this was written probably not, and personally I'd much rather they not bother rewriting this area just so we can yell further, it's such a non issue.

Depends, myself I have always hated Port Jeuno, so I dont see many double shouts myself, however if you hang around in Port then yes, but then again Port offers nothing that Ru'Lude Gardens doesnt, which is why I live up there.

As much of a non issue as it may be, so too is the switch from bitmap fonts to true type fonts. They are making non issue changes to the game - I can only imagine to prepare for a new influx of players for whatever reason - which should include a few minor changes. /yells that show up in every town, or even just shouts that cover the entire zone. Someone standing near the airship dock for Kahzam can't hear a shout from someone shouting from the mog house. A non issue, yes, but a small deterrence on convenience. Which is exactly what they're working to solve with all these other non issue updates.
