Please Don't Do *This*

Yeah you type <se.#> replacing the # with the number of the sound effect you want.
I know /echo will display text just for you but I'm not sure if it works for sounds.

Echo works with sounds too.
I use it for a crafting macro.

As in, ever. We have enough to pay attention to, never mind the endless chat spam and SE calls. In reality, this screenshot is missing 3 more pages like it because the chat log couldn't handle it all.

If this person was on my server, I would black list them in a second and not feel bad.

Edit: yay for cross-server blacklisting now!

His problem is just button mashing. He should put a delay between the action and the text. This would allow him to confirm the action, while only having the text once.

Literally the only downside is that the text will snapshot when it happens. So like my Provoke macro was "Don't look at <tt>, look at ME", but it would always flag me cause of the delay.

Haha, good times

There's more downsides to macros than just your target delay!
Can't queue, can't time up with your gcd, annoys people, etc.

annoys people

especially WAR macros... i can understand a one-liner for berserk yay... but for macros like:

"Get ready-Charging up..."
"Now power over 9000 for xx sec"
...
...
...
...
"Get ready to clean me"
...
...
"5"
"4"
"3"
"2"
"1"
"HELP!!!111"

you just deserve an insta kick imo.

Personally, I don't like aesthetic macros.
Text in combat should be clear, concise, and meaningful to the person who will be reading it.

^ at a minimum, this is really all the healers / SMN might need about a res attempt.

Why make your teammates read a bunch of anime fluff or a joke with that info?

Some people role play, I've attached a macro to my bard lb that sounds slightly chuuni (text is for Sagittarius arrow). Its ok cause how often does a bard get the chance to LB3.

If you spell it "Rezzing" you've annoyed me more than a warrior pleasing for esuna macro.

By using "pleasing" instead of "pleading" in your critism, you have made me smile.

To return the favor, I have included a bad pun for your entertainment. Ahem:
Did you hear about the man who was caught robbing the library? They threw the book at him!

Hope you have a good day!
