Just like all the existing chat features, you will have the option to set a filter for the new “Yell” feature, so don’t worry about having to listen to cross-area banter if you’re not feelin’ it.

Also, many of you have been asking about whether it will be possible to yell from one city to another, however, the development team does not have any plans of expanding this feature to encompass this.

This isnt going to sort out the mass of people in port jeuno then. If they are going to an event set up they will wait by the teleporters which will still be in port jeuno. and if the people are in port jeuno, then the bazaars will be in port jeuno.

Please consider the delay option people are asking for since you seem wholeheartedly intent on implementing this bad idea.

This idea is awesome and a forced delay function would ruin it.

This idea is bad and people will ruin it. If SE thinks this is a solution to congestion, they are very wrong and should concider reimplementing the tax first.

The dude in lower jeuno is a terrible example as it would have just been done in tell.

>.> …

It was meant to demonstrate how the yell feature will look and appear in the log (Name(Zone)). It accomplished its goal. Somehow you missed the very obvious.

I think this feature is a good idea. I don't know if it alone will fix PJ congestion but it is a step towards that. I think bazaars though are really bringing it down... but if they introduced heavy heavy taxes in PJ and left other areas of Jeuno tax free then I think the bazaars would move.

this is a great idea, it means i dont have to sit in PJ to find seal groups or w/e else i need. it means less people in PJ which is good! hope that it will move some of those dang people who insist on just crowding all over PJ and not moving (and i can use an AH without lagging like crazy and actually type without my text lagging)

Sorry Camate, but even I think the feature will be almost useless if people can't set their Home Point in their Home Nation and hear these from Jeuno. Logically it wouldn't make sense, but you guys are the ones who named it "Yell" after all.
This isn't at all what we asked for. I can almost guarantee it would be a waste of effort to make it Region based.
IMO if the Dev team doesn't want to make a method of optionally hearing shouts from Port Jeuno when I'm in, say, Bastok Mines, than the effort is being wasted.

To those who keep QQing about the feature [namely, Tsukino who is always posting for that post count], just turn the filter to off and pretend it never existed.

What do you propose to alleviate congestion? I know this idea would keep me out of Port Jeuno alot more.

I don't think enough people realize that there are teleporters in Ru'Lude Gardens. Which makes this idea perfect for me because that's where I normally teleport out from.

[Tsukino_Kaji]

I would say the same to you. I said it was a terrible example, not that it did not demonstrate it's use.

I already did. Tax.

Please concider the delay option people are asking for since you seem wholeheartedly intent on implementing this bad idea.

Please consider using the filter they will be giving you instead of adding an unncessary chat delay.
