Server-wide /shouts

[Monchat]

The yell feature is welcome because it will divide Port jeuno lag by 2. I like PJ because it has home point, AH, Abyssea NPC and mog house very close to each other. I hate if for the crap shout of idiots who chat in ./shout, or of pseudo elitist beliitteling people doing rightfull /shouts for help, or bragging about how they can duo X NM when that guy is shouting for 6 members, as if kiling any mob in abyssea ( with 2 or 10 ) was an achievement.

Along with this feature I'd like a blacklist capacity upgrade. the 200 or so limite is insufficient, tired of emptying the list every month.

Will this /yell channel penetrate Mog Houses, or will it still just be outside in the cities?

I wonder if it would increase or decrease lag if the /y included mog houses.

Yo we hear you liked shouting so we put a yell in your shout so you can shout while you shout.

*hides in corner in the fetal position* I hear stupid people... all the time... @.@

[Zoner]

I'm hoping for a delay between each use, something like the global chat in Aion

[katz]

Not a bad idea. I know when I shout, I set my own timer between shouts. Messages 5 mins apart with a cut off for when the event will or will not happen. So recently I was killing Sedna looking for members I told people I was starting in 30mins and shouted 5 times reducing the start time as I shouted. I do wish other people would use this. Id rather not be standing in port jeuno in a hook up party for hours waiting for the said party to start their event.

The yell feature will start with support in Jeuno so that we can monitor the effects it has on server lag. After examining the situation for a bit (and assuming no problems arise), we'll expand the yell feature to cover area-wide communications within San d'Oria, Bastok and Windurst.

Now you'll be able to yell for parties while keeping your chocobo fed, expanding your Gobbiebag, or just listing up your bone chips on the Auction House!

This means 4 seperate yell zones right? That is a total waste of time, nobody shouts in starter cities anyway. The only way extending it to starter cities will be worthwhile is if it is 1 combined /yell for all zones.

If you could add language filters and make a 15 second "cooldown" before you can shout (or yell) again, I think a region-wide shout wouldn't be an issue, but I don't like the idea of a server-wide shout. Port jueno is very annoying, and I would not want to have to deal with that in every zone in the game.

Applying this to just one city is relatively silly, as it doesn't actually solve the problem it's trying to fix (not entirely).

I don't see why they can't just make the yell command reach all the "Ports" in the game: Port San d'Oria, Port Bastok, Port Windurst, and Port Jeuno. I'd add Whitegate to that list, as it is also a "port" (in fact, it has 2 ports) but neither port is an airship port and I'm keeping it down to 4 options in this suggestion as thats the max number of zones per city (and how many Jeuno has, so it wouldn't stress the servers any further than it would if they only added it to the 4 Jeuno zones).

Summary: Don't do it for Port Jeuno, Lower Jeuno, Upper Jeuno, and Ru'lude Gardens, make /yell apply to Port San D'Oria, Port Bastok, Port Windurst, and Port Jeuno instead. This way, everyone can be in whatever city they want, and hear it.

Please no /yell, anywhere. /sh is bad enough with all these little 2 year olds screaming profanities. However, thank goodness for chat filters.
