| Author | Warning of notification when combat or tavern games start |
|---|
The idea is a simple bell, chime, or some sound to notify when a combat or tavern game has started.
It seems that more and more people are getting fines and punishment for going afk in TG and such. This seems to be different than in the past when it was pretty much impossible to prove somebody purposefully went afk, unless they admitted to it or said something in combat chat.
I often get to doing other things waiting to catch a caravan, or waiting for the tavern game to start that I joined. Sometimes I forget I joined or to keep checking if it started, resulting in me not getting back in time to avoid a lose cause of timeout or afk.
It would be nice to have some warning sound to know the game started. |
sorry for double post....
Forgot to mention this should be an option a player can turn on or off. Perhaps even have setting options like chime at start of combat, or every turn. |
in your personal settings there is an option for sound settings -
"Your turn" sound in combat.
as for tavern games the sound is on by default and is very loud. |
| problem is that if you only have a tab open on the forum, the game will not auto refresh, so how will it know you started a battle / card game? |

Have another tab open on the GB/tavern page. Those pages auto refresh, and you'll be alerted if your game has started by the "your turn" sound in combat. |

I wasn't aware that you could turn that off and on outside of combat, for tavern games you can only do it once the game starts. Perhaps an option to turn it off and on in personal settings for tavern games would help.

I always leave a tab open in tavern or map for ambushes, and open new tabs or windows for doing other stuff. So when it auto refreshes in that tab a noise would help for me. |

Only when a tab is refreshed, so when you read a forums entry for 5 mins or more and are unlucky, nothing turns red unless you repeatedly check another open tab. |
