Recently I've been a little more casual cause works been a little busy but I completely forgot about possibly being helpful to people who speak other languages makes this a more awesome option!

This feature could be a big help, at least for me, since I am always out for some Cappuccino from the coffee shop next door.

No thanks, I don't want a menu to pop up everytime I go do an event.

Did you even read the thread? Ready check have nothing to do with "anytime you do an event". It is something that a raid leader (or assistant) trigger in order to make sure that all players are ready (typically before a boss encounter) but it could also be in a random party, after everyone took a 5 minutes break, to make sure that they're all back.

While it is a small inconvenience to players (forced to press "ready"), it is a useful tool for a raid leader. If you do not want your leader to use this feature you may as well leave the party, no one will miss you. If you are in a LS run, with everyone on teamspeak and focused, that's not really needed either with a party of 8. However when we will be having content for alliances, this will be another story.

Ready check have more than one use as well. It can also be used a quick voting system. "Press ready if you are willing to go for the next boss or don't if you want to call it".

Thats the last thing we need is it ?, I think you mean its the last thing you want.

Why because its in WoW and Diablo 3 ?

Yes to the OP I would love a ready check option a pop up box would be even better.

Don't believe that, clicking a ready option in a pop up box is no more inconvenience than type /, some people will grasp at straws to argue a point.

Of course you could say that typing / is an inconvenience also but I guess those are the people who sit and don't reply when you ask if they are ready of not.

If it's in another game (even if it's useful) then it shouldn't be in XIV! It makes the game less unique! /sarcasm

I know I'd appreciate a /ready popup... there have been a few times when groups that I've been in were taken into places when members were AFK or we needed to discuss strategy first and someone Leroy Jenkins'd us in.

Interesting thing you are talking about here. Why not implementing some vote feature eventually?

We had /nominate command on XI so yeah, it would be nice to have that on XIV as well, but that's another thing :) The problem with /nominate is that lot of people weren't voting and it wasn't possible to really track who voted what, so that have a different purpose.

Having both would be the best, but that's the ready check thread so focusing on ready check here ^^

Thank you, and yes there are always those people who don't even want to type out the / then you have to ask whether or not they are ready.

Had this issue two nights ago >>; we all finally set up for the bard fight then had to wait for someone to get back from a ninja afk but hey at least it would let you know who is afk.

Made some Changes to the actual post I was half asleep when I first wrote out the second part of it so it was kind of all just thrown out there sorry~ lol :P.

This absolutely needs to be implemented.

They are implementing user made mods. So um...if they don't offer it make your own :).

really? That is what I was talking about when I said "event".

Welp I will never going to be using it. Boycotting everything I don't like.

I would love to have this. Its a nice tool and only helps the game. Many times have we gone into Hamlet with someone surprise AFK. Basically we have people on active mode now if they want to AFK.

Is that really a good way to go into 2.0 so are you not gonna jump ever too? And if you do are you gonna start a timer between everytime you do so you make sure you don't just "Hop" everywhere. Are you never going to do Instanced items as well cause you want it to be all Open World, You sir have very closed minded views things will always be added to a game that some won't like but that doesn't mean you should never use them just fret and eventually deal with it since you'll keep playing obviously.

I've never been against instanced things, I've said that idk how many times now?
I will only jump if need be, other than that no I'm not going to use it. Just like how I'm not going to get the goobuu before 1.23/2.0

I am in favor of this.

Me to! lol :P

Want to get as many views/ Thumbs hopefully they look at this thread so shameless bump. lol <3

use the old <call> sound to wake people up too

A ready check system is always a great thing to have so that it's easier to know when your fellow party members have returned from a break or when to engage Garuda. Since it's such a helpful feature we will be implementing a ready check system in 2.0. Although it might not be ready at launch, it will be added for sure! :)

Thanks, it's just too useful of a mechanic to not have it implimented in the basic UI.

Awesome, thanks for the confirmation!

Make sure it got some Warning Ready Sound aswell.

OMG Thank god the devs are on top of the important things we ask for. Like a ready check system. God I know that was a deal breaker for me.

Omg, Yay so happy!

Sweet.

Devs add a feature that many other people want. Do you: C) troll about it

Unless you're not actually being sarcastic and are just extremely, extremely animated. In which case, disregard.

Go sit on your hands if you have nothing useful to say.

No, not "need", but very useful. I used to use a single-option /nominate but half the time nobody knew how to /vote and if not everyone responded, you had no way to know who wouldn't vote.

It helps party leaders make sure nobody is AFK. It helps make sure party leaders don't miss your "AFK 1m" message and assume you're there when everyone else /'s. What's wrong with that? If you don't want to use it and would rather ask for /'s then nothing's stopping you.

If anyone can offer a valid reason why SE shouldn't implement this that doesn't have to do with team resource management or a "we got along fine without it before" attitude, I'm all ears.

I have an addendum to this-

Sometimes a ready state is something that needs to be performed suddenly.

One such example is in Cutter's cry, where some targets far from each other need to be killed at the same time.

Perhaps the ready feature could be capable of satisfying this functon, or alternately, the /countdown feature could be modified to function no matter how far teammates are from each other?

And why shouldn't we question the resource management of the Dev team creating a Ready Check?

EDIT: And may I sit on your hands instead? ^^

It is not a bad feature but it can get very very very annoying. Especially if it is a popup on your screen you have to click.

I want an option to disable ready check.... that crap spamming in the middle of your screen every single pull in a dungeon is horribly annoying in other mmos.

It can be abused but i really don't think we have a dbay community who would do that really it doesn't happen in those other games so i doubt it would happen like that in this game.

Please realize that FF14 is doing everything in its power to "make the transition from WoW to FF14 an easy one".

Do not expect any special aspects of the FF community to be permanent after 2.0 hits.

Shout chat will soon look like barrens chat and any annoying feature that can be abused by morons will be.

Well hopefully people don't abuse these systems but sometimes you do run into a jerk who does just ignore them, I for one believe that our community won't start doing those kind of things

It all depends on the mechanics of the game and whether they are a barrier to entry for immature players and whether reputation matters, but with a content finder im not sure reputation is going to matter much.
