And 100% agreed on #2, "equipment changed" notifications are horribly annoying. No reason not to at least offer us the option to filter that out.

i know that there are 3rd party programs that take care of this also. i believe it combines all the equip changes into 1 gear change message. but, thats also a 3rd party program, and a nono.

The amount of people I see both on this forum and even in game, using the "I don't gearswap because then I blink and mages can't cure me" and "it's your own fault you died, I couldn't cure you because you blink too much!" is AMAZING. And not in a good way. It could be a valid excuse 3 years ago. But not now.

It doesn't make me rage, it makes me facepalm so hard my hand hurts. The ignorance is overwhelming.

I think from the day the game came out in the US there has been not excuse for this the <p0-5> has been there. and I don't know when they added the <a10-15> top alliance and <a20-25> for second alliance but its there to so there is no reason for you to miss a cure. yes it can take up a lot of macros but with 10 sets of 10 macros for each job I think we have the room.

As a career mage (and a WHM main in particular) I have to say that this has been a non-issue since the addition of <stpt> <stal>. Seriously, there is absolutely no reason to complain about healing people who are gear-swapping at this point.

[TearValerin]

I read it when the thread was about 3 pages long and that was enough to make me not want to read any further posts. :/

It is hard to get a single point across in that thread without someone going 'get over it, 75 gear should not have relevence in a 90 world.' It has nothing to do with wanting old gear to be good (I.E. abjurations, HNM gear, sky/sea gear, etc) but gear that took a ton of effort to be made being shadowed by empys which take little to no time. I just state I want them to have a relative boot to make them comparable to empy, and people go ludicrous >.>.

yeah, the margian trials for the relic weapons were total fail. they couldve done so much more. and they also could have made them lvl up on par w/ emps. wonder why they didnt?

PS2 limitations aside...

<stpt> <stal>

There's NO EXCUSE, NONE, since April 2008.
If you die because a mage tells you you change gear too often you explain <stpt> and <stal>. If they refuse, you kick that mage, and you get a new one.

LOL I find this annoying as well, I might mention it and if I got the response you gave I wouldn't bring it up again and you die because I couldn't cure you its now your fault...
Besides the blinking only becomes and issue when some has like 4 pages of gear swapping in like 20 seconds.

[Tamoa]

This subject doesn't belong in this thread at all - for what it's worth I hope SE will make relic weapons #1 again by 99, just for the sheer time and effort relic owners have put into their weapons.

But let's leave it at that, the "get rid of relics"-thread shouldn't be bleeding any more into this thread. :/

To me, I think the blinking needs to go. I play on the 360 and that in itself presents a problem since I'm on a controller more then on the keyboard, and a short wired keyboard at that. So to use the tab button causes me to drop my controller grab the keyboard to use the macro with stal in it, tab through the party until I get the one to cure, and then cure them. Thats a second or more time wasted, and the possible death of someone in the party. Plus the limitations of the 360 when someone blinks is annoying. Even before 14 came out and the servers quieted down, I can be say in Dragon's Aery with 30+ people and a ton of lag....And while using STAL the tank blinked for gear changes, and I could not even tab to target them....And I was standing right next to them when they gear changed. It took several seconds for them to reappear to the point that I could target them, and my pointer was pointing to the ground and no body was there for up to a minute later. Same thing in Besieged, Dyna, and any place else that had a lot of lag. So STAL is not the total answer because I still use it today....It just does not work for 360 users when there is a lot of lag. So I personally gave up and my macros now say "/ma "Cure V" "Person's name" because that was the only way I could cut through the blink/Lag problem and keep the party alive...But life would be easier if I didnt have to constantly swap between the controller and the keyboard just to cure someone because they blinked to change gear.

When you use <stal>, you do not need to tab. You can scroll up and down the party list with the Arrow keys. I believe this also works with the controller's D-Pad, but as I play on PC I could not confirm that for you.
