    Alt-Tab Queue Pop Warning

    SE, please add a feature to this game that will alert you when your queue pops if you are alt-tabbed. Staring at Idyllshire while waiting the 2 hours for a Frontline is pretty sucky. GW2 and Smite have these features, so I know it isn't impossible. Thanks.

    There is already a alert, when your que pops it makes a distinctive sound to alert you, if you have your game set to play sound when tabbed out then you will here it pop. I do this all the time, alt tab to read forums and do stuff and go back when I here it pop.

    Go into your sounds settings and set it to play sounds when window not active and select what sounds you want played.

    Yup, just adjust your sound options to play while tabbed out, all good. I'd recommend setting only the system sounds (I think that's the option, double-check of course) to make it more obvious.

    No it not impossible cause it already in the game as other have mentioned. I play on PS4 and don't even have to be in the same room just take the controller with me and the controller chimes when queue pops.

    I do this frequently... that FATE finally popped? I'm alerted thanks to that hideously loud fanfare.
    My queue finally got through? That really obnoxious ZWHING is hard to miss.

    Clearly, the best Final Fantasy character is Locke Cole.

    Also (and we never get to do this, it's exciting) if you STEP UP to a PS4, the que pop notification comes out of the controller itself, allowing you to freely walk all over the house, go get another cup of coffee, etc etc.

    The tradeoff, of course, is that you'd need to be a console peasant like me :P
