Rez Macro Broke?

[HyoMinPark]

Alternatively, you can ask the person to stop spamming and if they keep going report them to a GM, but it wouldn't be such an issue if SE let us blacklist people mid duty. The only options being Abandon Duty, Kick, or turn off your chat and sounds is pretty terrible t when they do get annoying like the multiple line macros or the multiple sounds macros.

I’ve never had someone spam a Raise macro multiple times outside of them raising several people back to back—which isn’t their fault. Maybe 5/8 people shouldn’t have died. Maybe on occasion it will misfire and post twice, but that’s not “spam”. I doubt a GM would consider a raise macro spam either. A lot of the ones I see on Aether are also just one sound effect or none; the latter has been far more common in my recent play.

People are way too sensitive about this.

Typical Rez macros on aether are kind of like mine. (Raising) <t> <se.#>

I think I only rarely see the overly cringe ones, and they're only ever used once or twice because people would rather avoid them than hear them/see them again over and over lmao.

Then just say you haven't encountered the ones I have. I don't see them too often but when you do see the multiple line ones with sounds, you definitely remember them and they are definitely annoying enough to want to kick the person.

RIGHT. The forums is full of babies and snowflakes lately. It's pathetic. This is not something to be offended over. It's quite laughable to me.

My issue is the chat spam with them. Long winded stories about someone being rezd with sound effects on that spam multiple times because people can't set macros correctly or they miss their target and have the sound effect playing before the rez takes place. A simple I'm raising <t> is all you need, and you don't even need that if you just agree beforehand who you are raising. Top down or bottom up. FFXIV automatically sorts everyones party list in the exact same way so unless you go out of your way to change it then it's always the same.

If you want to do it then do it, but like I said, personally it's the most cringe thing in the game.

In random teams that is never happening. People just rez whenever they like.

And such macro barely helps at it. Since when a teammate dies, and you press the button, the other might already have pressed quickcast anyway. Negating any advantage the mention would have given. Sure, he might not use it for the rez then, but its still a wasted cast. And the macro ignores limitation by range. Often enough i have seen someone use a macro, but because he was out of range it didnt even reach the target.

The only real solution here would be if it would be displayed in the HUD. And idealy as a status effect on the player. For quick casts those icons obviously wont be shown (and timing mess can still happen), but on slow casting it would (even in alliance raids), making it clear to other teams that a target is already being rezzed instead of having 3 players targeting the same player without anyone being able to know about it.

Changing a setting in-game isn't "going out of your way" imho. Some people let themselves be #1 in their list, other's don't and let them be sorted by the normal order.

Arent those numbers defined before the sorting? So even if you change the sorting, the numbers are still displayed diffirent (for example if you put the tanks last, they still have the lower digits).

Is yourself always "1" then? If so, then the numbers are different for other people or is the rest the same?

You are always slot 1 in your own list.

It is.

No, everyone sees their party list numbered 1 through 8 going down, regardless of their sorting options.

This. So much this. The party list is full of relevant information about what is going on. Rez macros, especially when there is sound, are just a distraction.

The rez macros are just fun. Although "I'm not your mother but i will raise you" lost it's appeal somewhere between seeing it the 2nd and 2192912th time.
