But there are other possibilities.

You alt-tab to check the location of a hunt log or gathering area and you "think" you are in a safe place. BUT WHAT'S THAT?! IT'S A FATE SPAWN!

Your icon on your task bar is now blinking telling you are under attack by a swarm of dodos.

You're replying to a topic on your FCs forum and your FC leader sends you an invite to go tackle BC while you're alt-tabbed. Your icon starts blinking indicating you have a pending party invite while alt-tabbed.

Seriously guys, this is a great QOL mechanic that should be in the game. Having sound always playing is not always an option especially if you play while people are sleeping in your home.

Many other MMOs do it. Why not this one? I loved it in Rift.

Hook up a headphone. Have sound on even alt-tabbed. Problem solved.

I'm glad you replied to only one part of my post. No I don't want crafting noises and all random crap playing while I'm listening to my own music, or watching a video of a fight I'm about to do, or sometimes I just want complete silence.

Could we also have the game run the dungeon for me while I'm alt-tabbed?

How bout that for innovation? Jeezus

Funny thing about the alarm clock... SE actually has (or had, don't know if they discontinued it) one for FFXI, though all it did was moon phase, airship/ferry times, the day of the week and in game time. They used to sell it on the SE main site in the merchandise store. I seem to recall it looked like your average cheap travel alarm clock and was really overpriced.

The duty finder sound is not the only sound that plays >.<

You guys need like a text alert or something?

If you're qued for a dungeon then just listen out for the in game notification, damn.

Yes i was actually taking reference to that in fact. Cool that someone remembers that lol. My suggestion about the Odin and Behemoth feature was semi-serious honestly LOL.

Dear SE, when the duty is ready, please program a hand to come out of the screen and tap me on the shoulder in case i am sleeping ....

Seriously.....

*meanwhile let me make another pointless thread about something else, let's see.... what else can i post....*

The app came out yesterday... It was ready to download by 7am CST because that's when I downloaded it.

Just... set the notification to be the only sound to play while tabbed out.

It works, people. Found that setting years ago. When tabbed out, the only sound from the game I'll ever hear is the duty popped sound (and maybe a /tell or something, can't remember).
