TELLS in DUNGEONS

[Reiterpallasch]

Yes and besides that's what a voice chat server is for. Technology is amazing, you and your FC friends might want to test out a chat server.

Wow what a great idea! Thank you very much for your advice. Knowing that I can just use voice chat, I have no need to ever want SE to fix their terrible chat system.

Hear that guys?! The terrible chat system can stay terrible, because modern technology means we can all just use voice chat!

Occasionally I am in a DF party (or even a ls party) and someone is playing a job they are not so used to. I would like to send them a /tell advising to do something different (like for example remind WHM to turn cleric stance off when heals are needed or ask SCH to put the pixie next to the tank when himself have to stay away etc.) and when I say this in the party chat, people often take it that I am slacking off their skills, when in fact I am just trying to help...
The /tells definately need to be brought to the Duties, I will not have 20 linkshells just so I can talk with my friends privately.

Simple fix. Add a "do not disturb" button on the chat window that blocks tells. Not only does it give players the *choice* to not be disturbed with tells in a dungeon run but it also allows you to block tells all the time if you want to block RMT tells.

lmao you're signature.

About the topic.. I really don't care about the tells in dungeons. I have my boyfriend in a linkshell and my brother in another one. And at least this way I don't have other people bothering me in a dungeon, I already get distracted enough with FC chat haha

As one of the strangers on Maji's friends list but not in the same LS or FC, I agree with this post. ._.

I agree OP. Ever since I found out about this (sometime in the beta) I have been against SE's stance on this. This is completely archaic game design here.... for an MMO to have no ability to whisper someone who is in a dungeon is just pure stupidity. If someone really wants to troll someone they grouped with all they have to do is make a character on that server and harass them on their own server. Basically taking out whispers to players in dungeons just because people troll on the internet is a bad reason.

While we are on this subject, we should be able to check our FC and LS stuff while in a dungeon as well.

I've been against this ever since Beta. People have worthlessly defended it by saying you should be focusing in dungeons, or they want to avoid griefing, or whathaveyou. So far they've been wrong. Dungeons are easy and constantly get speedran, griefing is still present and it's common for players to be singled out by an entire group.

The Dev Team's "plan" (which I believe is just a front to hide they haven't figured out how) doesn't work, and hasn't worked one bit. If anything it made it worse.

I also got a ton of friends on my list that I would love to talk to while farming dungeons, and as an FC leader I've also missed a good amount of tells who wanted to get into my FC.

Have to agree this is my biggest problem i have with this game atm. The no tells, cant look at FC/LS/Friends list has to go. This is just silly to limit us on who and when we can chat with people in a an mmo. Its almost as silly as taking out the journal tracker option.

As someone who already is in an FC + 8 linkshells I have to say that I agree.. I have about 30-40 players in my friends list that are not in any of my LS'. I definitely want this

Have anyone stop and think the reason why they don't allow /tell in Dungeon? I's to prevent harassment of another player. Like if a DPS, Tank, Healer is doing a bad job or some Douche Bag don't like how the other player for whatever reason, or he is getting all the loot. He would /tell and harass that person and no one will know. I like it like this. If you have something bad to say, tell it in party and everyone can see the message. It encourage people if you don't have something nice to say, then don't say it at all. It doesn't completely stop it, but it make it a little better. I have a Linkshell for Friends anyway, so I'm not bother by it and it get rid of the gold spammer /tell too.
