<call#> do we want it?

[Eliseus]

In pug groups I would just type Kill, and look at that, its even less typing then <call#>. Got the job done every time.

Like I mention before, why not implement it. I'm down for whatever. I just like to pick on some of you because you guys type in this thread like <call#> will solve all problems with bad players.

So most recent rep post said if there is enough interest they will revist the call function.

I'm 100% for geting <call> commands put in ARR.

Edit:

<call> is much more than a ready check.

You don't ready check in middle of a fight, you don't ready check to get attention of alt-tabbed players, you don't ready check to notify team mates of shifts in stategy.

Most players don't use 3rd party voice chat. vent,mumble and team speak are mostly used by organized player groups. Not pick ups, not cross world parties or by small player groups.

Visual cues have their place. But audio cues can be easily recongnized when the UI is filled with clutter or in the heat of battle.

lets say you join a pick up for a primal fight, are you going to use a ready check to make sure everyone knows the fight is about to enter phase 2 or 3 of the battle?

Are you going to spam the chat box to inform your party?

Are you going to use a visual cue that puts a blinking Icon above a players head or next to the party frames UI? One that can be easily missed by players focused healing or crowd control?

I think a <call> sound would inform groups and deliver your meaning in an instant.

i NEED this, i dont know how often i am alt tabbing and have to check every few seconds back to not miss anything or the other way around if someone suddenly ia afk without saying anything. I need it.
