Rez Macro Broke?

[Renalt]

People who use rez macros...you know...THOSE kind of macro...Are just annoying.

If you MUST use one...keep it simple. Something like "I got <t> so focus on something else." Hell even the "I got <t>" more than suffices.

Disagree. They are helpful. VERY helpful. The number of times simply having the name of who I'm raising be in chat for my coheal and other rez able party members to see save pulls is far too vast to say they don't help. Sorry, but you're dead wrong.

Most of the time both healers pop it at the same time anyway. I find them useless personally.

God forbit we say anything but "hi" and "gg" i guess...

Sorry for not posting the macro for analysis, makes sense that that'd be required. It's listed below. As for whether some people like it or not, I myself appreciate it when others have it as it makes it simple to to tell when others are raising and who they're raising. Makes coordinating MUCH easier, plus the flavour text is always fun anyway, but that's just me. At any rate, I'm not here to debate the merits of a rez macro, only to help get mine fixed, which btw I appreciate the help. I've also edited the original post to include it.


/macroicon "Verraise"

/party flavour text <t> <se.11>
/ac "Verraise" <t>

Put the action first.

[HyoMinPark]

/macroicon "Verraise"

/party flavour text <t> <se.11>
/ac "Verraise" <t>

I would recommend swapping your /ac and /p text lines.

/micon “Verraise”
/ac “Verraise” <t>
/p flavor text <t>. <se.11>

That should take care of the misfire. Usually you want the flavor text placed after the /ac action in macros. At least, that’s how I’ve always done them and never had much of an issue with it.

Thanks, but swapping it still doesn't make it work.

So I had a wild idea. I tried recreating the macro from scratch by typing out every command anew manually as opposed to copying and pasting the commands from the old macro into a new one and.....it worked. I have no idea why the old one stopped working and why simply copying and pasting from it would result in a new one not working either, but simply just manually typing it back up in a new macro fixed it and it now works again. Very weird why it would do that, but there you go. Appreciate everyone's assistance. Have a great day all.

that doesnt happen to me, me and my cohealer wait to see who uses their macro first so the other can keep their damage going. Short simple macros can save resources, time , and the run. We personally love them, but if people would rather not use them thats their choice, to us its easy brainless communication when people have to pay attention to a million other things going on on their screen like in ultimate.

True but if 2 or more people are dead which isnt a rare occurence, how can you tell who your mate is raising? I often have to cross my fingers and hope we arent raising the same person.

If you hear the other healer use Swiftcast--it's a very distinctive sound--just wait to see where the Raise buff goes. If they're hardcasting, their cast text in the party list says the number of the party member they're targeting.


If you're going to put a party message with a sound effect, please at least put a <wait.1> on the action line so that if you ever spam the button the party message only goes through on the last push.
But really, with the changes to the party list casting text, raise macro messages are largely unnecessary.
