    Toxic community is toxic. Give the guy a break, jesus. It would be nice if while alt-tabbed the icon on the task bar would blink if DF popped.

    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.

    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).
