Petition to change Duty Finder pop notification sound

Most of the time I'm queued as dps. I'm just chilln in town or in the middle of nowhere in particular sometimes looking at the TV... or in some cases helping my gf that is sitting next to me with her character not looking at my screen.. lo and behold the DF pops after about 45min - 1hr of waiting... but the thing is.. I don't hear the "Chime" It's so quiet and sometimes sounds like other background noise... I've even jacked my volume up and it's still pretty easy to miss... Would be awesome if the current chime could be set/changed to something way more noticeable. (Like in WoW, which I could hear several rooms away Lolz)

I couldn't agree more. Not only that but by the time you notice it, and cancel what your crafting and gathering and switch jobs, you barely have enough time to click ok. In fact I've missed it several times because after 1 hour of waiting, I'm like what is that thing!? I mean after that long you almost forget you were waiting for duty. I'm busy crafting away and then i realize oh crap its the duty finder! Then I have to cancel my synth quick (which is usually some expensive HQ one) and change and...... too late.

I agree as well. I was looking for some new mining equipment at the MB. There are so many crafters banging around, I missed it.

I made a thread like this, never got any attention.

Sound? It should be music. It should be something constant.

Am I the only one whose game won't play sounds while tabbed out? I've missed more than one duty finder thanks to that. =p

Yes the sound when it pops should be changed to:

Victory Fanfare


or: <se.10>

system sound slider will fix that

If I could, I would mod the sound to be the Metal Gear Solid ! sound effect.

There's an option under System config -> Sound to enable sound while windows is not active. I've personally never missed a chime even when I was listening to music.

Anyone know if you can change the files in this game? I know in FFXI you could, just not sure if they kept the same set up of file swapping. Would make for interesting possibilities if we can still do that. I liked my .dat file swap for deep black skinned manticores with grey veins and blood red eyes.

Sins of the Father you say???

I could get on board with that.

Words that Kill, would you speak them to me, with your breath so still, it makes me believe.

Believe that the DF finally popped.

Although it wouldn't happen... I personally like Navi's(fairy) "Hey! Listen!" From Zelda Lolz... As it is.. It's not distinct enough with all the various background noises like crafting and such. I mean I literally looked away from my screen to tell my gf where to go on her map for a quest and when I looked back.. it popped and was gone.. It's a laptop even and was on my lap...
