<call#> do we want it?

[KyahAlmasy]

I'm definitely all for <call>

[reefo]

There is no reason to not put it in as long as there is the option to turn it off. Some people find it very useful like myself when I'm only half paying attention to the screen or in the other room getting a drink. People that find it annoying can turn it off and miss the NM pop.

Yes please..its really annoying when 7/8 are ready to go and you got one butthead making you wait.

I liked call, but I also hated it.. Would be nice to be able to mute calls on particular players - right click name -> mute -> calls.

Some people put it in their macros like boost >.<; lol

I am for <call> it was immensely useful in XI. I think reserving it to party leader is a bit too limiting of it's potential uses, rather I suggest that it just not be macro-able.
Another option is a /buzz "Player Name" command as I've seen in other games. It jostles the screen, makes a sound effect, and could turn vibrate on a gamepad only for the targeted player. It would eliminate bleeding the ears of all the non-offending party members, but I feel player specific notices has high potential for abuse and harassment.

For those who don't want repetitive sound effects in the game, I emphasize with that sentiment. However, we already had people whom purposefully spam moogle weapons, vocalized emotes, and chocobo whistles rampantly in 1.0. I don't feel like <call> which can actually serve a useful purpose would be any more annoying on top of what already happens naturally in the game.

call doesn't work if the player mutes sounds, so its not very productive. hearing the crafting spam noise is hard enough.

13.5 MB for that gif in your signature... wow really? o_o

Sorry, I had to block it cuz it could kill my bandwidth but still funny.. lol

[Rane]

I'm going to vote against /call as well. It's a relic of the old XI battle system where everything took place in the chat log, and you didn't see a battle so much as read it.

I'm all for /readycheck, though.
