| Author | BUZZ! |
|---|
I didn't see this discussed, but can we have something where you can, once per battle, buzz (which would play a loud trumped sound or something similar) all the players -- to wake up the afk players ...
If you can only use it once it probably won't get abused. And don't make it too obnoxious :) |
| Loud trumpet sound I mean ... |
| topic name should not be in capital letters and if someone goes afk theyd probuably close browser... u wouldnt hear it if u went afk lol or ud be to far... |
| there is an option if the personal settings that says "Your turn sound in combat" |
| afk people would mute their computers if this came out. |
i believe the your turn sound in combat should be on from the start and have the option to turn it off.
that sound has saved me so many times, even just walking out of the room after traveling only to here a loud ping and realize im getting ambushed. |
#5 its not like there is a group of people named the "afk people" who just do it all the time and figure out new ways to go afk. it just happens, you hit join and in the 5 minutes you have left you start reading something on the internet or watch a quick video and just get distracted and before you know it you have forgotten all about the fact that you joined a game.
it can happen to anyone, obviously peoples computers crash or they are called off to something more important, these situations cant be helped. but stopping afk in any little way helps a lot.
so again good idea |
I have the "your turn sound in combat" on but it's such a gentle little ding. Like truflesshufle13 said, sometimes you're working and you want play a bit and it's going to be 5 minutes before the battle starts ... And you go off and do something else and don't hear the super soft little ding. Might be nice for the people who are annoyed at you to be able to alert you ...
Sorry for the all caps but I was "inspired" by Yahoo messenger ... BUZZ!!!!
:) |
BTW here's my idea for the implementation: Whenever the timer goes below 5 seconds, a "BUZZ" button appears below the countdown number. When you press that, that player gets buzzed, which is a loud wake up kind of sound.
Depending on how often it would be abused, you could use it either once per battle or once per player per battle. |
Another solution might be a simple player setting in your person settings:
"Your turn" sound in combat: [ ] off [ ] soft [ ] medium [ ] loud
off would be off
soft would be what we have now
medium would be something a little louder
loud would be something very loud |
that would be useless... as #5 said they would mute their computers lol
it would be useful if u know people were glued to their chairs and their chairs were glued to the ground but keep on brainstorming ulll come up with something |
| #11: This is not for people who *purposely* go afk (it would be nice if the punishment for chronic afk players was ratcheted up or perhaps a bold red AFK warning would show up on their profile) but this is for people like me who sometimes accidentally do it because we're busy doing something else while waiting for the many minutes for a battle to start. |
| Obviously an option in personally setting for people to turn it off if they don't want to be buzzed...at work etc.. |
i'd make it more like Nudge button on MSN .... & add a buzz ( like electricity ) sound to it to wake up ppl , heck i'd replace "your turn sound" with buzz sound :D
thats my suggestion .... |
