First off, I understand completely why people shout for groups in the Gold Saucer. It's essentially the new Mor Dhona because of the fact that everyone's there, and if it really becomes a problem, one can always filter /shout, so yeah...
Still, seeing shouts for raid groups and such in the place just feels off. You have the festive music playing, the atmosphere of games, prizes, and so on happening... it's basically an arcade-theme park-casino hybrid. A place that seemingly has no connection to the outside (besides Triad NPCs). Chances are, nearly everyone in the place is there for the reason of being at the Gold Saucer to do things related to it (if not just AFK). Seeing party shouts kinda kills the atmosphere to me lol.
A place like Mor Dhona on the other hand was rather perfect for it. A meeting hub due to spacious areas, sounds of a bustling marketplace, NPCs that sell you endgame gear, etc. You generally go there for battle related content or story that involves some battle related content.
Maybe I'm one of the few that see it that way. That inner RP... I guess. Pity to have to filter /shout to make it feel how it was supposed to, there's some fun conversations going on at times. At least until the appeal dies down and everyone migrates back to Mor Dhona... assuming that ever happens before Heavensward.

I don't see it too often on Leviathan, but when it does happen people are just vicious, so far as telling people to "shut the f*** up" and the like, which is far FAR worse IMO.

Well, if it's Duties you can get cards from, I don't see why not.

My shouts are always off so haven't noticed.

03-02-2015, 01:39 PMWelsper59I've only seen one person say something about the party shouts so far, but it was met with the expected "turn off shouts if you don't like it" sort of reply. But yeah, I'm on Levi too, and it really doesn't happen too often thankfully. Just hoping it doesn't get worse as more people start to drift away from the "must do now" mentality with the place. On occasion though it gets sort of spammy due to 2 or 3 people shouting about their Coil groups LFM, basically following the "when it rains, it pours" saying.Quote:

Yeah, same usually. But most of the ones I see are Turn 10+ shouts, stuff that has little or nothing to do with cards or MGP.Quote:

On Odin the shouts are usually just "Woo Behemoth card!" - "FU Typhon" etc etc. :3

I have not shouted in GS yet but if I do I won't feel bad about it and I seriously don't get why people are so butthurt about it. Stop taking everything so seriously..

I don't see a problem with /shout at the GS. /shout is serving its' purpose in game.

Its a hang out, what better place to ask for something. I mean how many deals get done in bars or restaurants IRL. Like you said it's where everyone is so its only natural to ask there. Have you ever been to a real casino? Its not all just playing games and gambling.
Oh and I think I found my twin sister, guess I better change up my look. -
03-02-2015, 09:33 PMWelsper59Has little to do with taking things seriously. It's just an atmosphere thing. You do what you want to do, no one can say otherwise because you're not violating any ToS. If people actually complain to you about it, then there you go. It's not much different than evangelists spouting their nonsense. They have every right to do it, regardless of the location being intended for it or not lol. Many will not respond to you, some will hate you, but maybe a select few will join your cause.Quote:

On Adamantoise, I haven't seen this occur too much. The most shouting I've seen has been either people getting excited for the cards they just won, or people asking questions. The only PARTY shouts I've seen, have mentioned specifically that their farming for the card drops. I was in GS for about an hour on the first night, and saw someone shout "Leviathan Party to Farm Card in PF", which was immediately responded to by quite a few "Good idea!" shouts. I don't really think it kills too much of that atmosphere. I enjoy all the people, and activity, and just seeing such a large group somewhere OTHER than Mor Dhona :D. As for the shouting, hell, I've been to Las Vegas casinos, and Chuck Cheezes when I was a kid, and there's CONSTANTLY people shouting in both places, so why not in the GS casino?

I responded to a shout asking for boys on a male alt and found out it was for a guy looking for a boyfriend in gold Saucer :3 Now that was a fun shout to respond to XD

Anything that deals with either the people enjoying themselves, sharing their frustrations that certain cards won't drop or their hate for certain GATEs, forming card farming groups, etc is absolutely fitting for the place.Quote:

Seeing Coil farm groups and things along those lines that have absolutely nothing to do with the place though, just brings it back to Mor Dhona standards. So seeing those shouts just stands out as odd, given the music and general look of the place. There's practically nothing about the place that intentionally puts you into the mindset of "hmm I need to do Coil".
I guess you can compare it to someone shouting for a T13 clear in Central Shroud or even a Housing area. I'm pretty sure it comes across as an unusual place to do it for everyone. People gotta do what they gotta do though, so no matter. -
03-02-2015, 10:11 PMCodeCassI can see where you're coming from. I suppose that could break the immersion of GS. And I'm sure it's worse on some servers than others. As I said I haven't noticed too much of what you describe on mine; and if I did I'm sure I'd be singing a different tune haha.Quote:

Since the Golden Saucer is a theme park which normally is very loud, let's just disable shout but leave yell in. :3
-
03-02-2015, 10:18 PMWelsper59I mean don't get me wrong, it's not like it's being spammed all day or anything. It's actually somewhat far and few. I'm just sharing how I and some others view it, regardless if it is the most effective means or not right now. And while I'm fairly sure it won't come to it, since most people that ARE interested will be in Mor Dhona anyway, it'll be unfortunate if it really does become the new norm among all groups shouting for LFM. I'd hate to see the fun chat that we frequently come across being overtaken by long text shouts of LFM and LS/FC recruitment lol.Quote:

It's honestly one of the main reasons I tend to hang out in the GS while waiting for DF. Play a few hands of TT, read the generally funny chat, watch, or participate in GATES, ext. I just like the environment and feeling of the place.Quote:
