[Suggestion] Your Attack Staggers the Fiend!

[Fearforever]

It would be good, just the other day I was fighting Sobek looking for trigger with about 20 people around us fighting Lizzard and Gukz NM 2 triggers went off same time with all the spam, people and annimations we didn't know who proc'd what.

Would be a nice change to either name the person who proc'd it or made it color coded if your alliance does it

yep figured this was the issue, really easy fix, stop showing the message to outside people -.-

Wow, I really like this idea!

It's even frustrating to know which spell procced sometimes when two or three people are trying to proc at once. It'd be nice to see names.

^^; There's so many times that I'm asking party if it was our proc or the party next to us. I'm usually busy watching the chat screen, and sometimes even when I stare at the monster, I don't see the !!s pop up.

I'd take this suggestion one step further. As many times there are multiple people trying to proc on both weapons and spells, how about going all out and having the text indicate the player's name and the action that triggered the weakness, that way not only does the group know who caused it but they also know what WS or spell NOT to use from that point.

ex1: Gropitou's Energy Drain has caused the monster to...

ex2: Gropitou's Banishga II has caused the monster to...

[Garota]

Yes! I'm totally for this!

[blowfin]

Exceptional idea.

How about this one:

Rather than the current "Your attack staggers the fiend!"

How about this one (slightly modified from another suggestion) "<player name>'s attack staggers the <NM name>, <NM name> is unable to use special abilities/attacks/magic"

A little redundant I know, but this way you not only know who did it, but if more than one NM is up nearby then you know exactly which NM got staggered (if your server has as many sephiroth or death<something> variants as lakshmi you would understand). I know a lot of people on Xbox that keep onscreen battle effects turned off to reduce lag, this unfortunately works on !! Staggers too.

Or you could just pay attention and watch for the !! animation

I have honestly never seen any !! before.

The whole chat filtering and font colors system needs an improvement honestly.

Very true. Filters aren't specific enough.

Also, while it technically isn't on-topic, it falls under chat log improvements: fix the way chatlog messages are displayed. Always synchronize AoE effects, don't let them be interrupted by other messages. In fact, that problem would solve itself by adjusting the system so that messages are always displayed in chronological order. No more "The Amuckatrice is no longer asleep." before the sleep message is even displayed and you don't know what is going on, whether an old effect has worn or whether the new effect wore, until it's too late and you have twelve raging cocks in your face.

And since we're at it:
Resist! Arcon readies Steel Cyclone.

Resisting 400 pounds of axe-shaped murder to your face? I think not.

While we're on the subject of horribly synced chat logs . . . Weapon Skill/Skillchain animations, anybody? I hope you didn't gear-swap back to your TP set while they were going on, lest you lose the record of how much damage your just coordinated . . .
