FTE shouts

[Vandy]

If people would stop with the stupid comments then maybe the team would have more time, which is already their free time if I might add, to work on prominent issues.

As for FTE shouts, I think it's wonderful that you are putting this in. Every system will have issues with someone and the only way to find the best solution is to test it in on the server. The faster it gets rolled out, the faster the devs will be able to identify it's usefulness or lack there of and remove or rework the feature if needed.

Thank You

The following npcs have this functionality as of next patch:

• lord nagafen
• lady vox
• cazic thule
• trakanon
• innoruuk
• faydedar
• talendor
• gorenaire
• severilous
• venril sathir
• maestro of rancor
• noble djorn
• a dracoliche

What will happen?

Players within a reasonable distance will receive a message stating $npcname engages $playername!

i.e. (Lord Nagafen) : everyone near the fire giant castle would receive a 'Lord Nagafen engages Nilbog!' message, in yellow, if I was first to engage.

The outdoor dragons will function the same, but at a much greater distance.

I hope this small addition helps to alleviate some of the problems in determining first to engage. If it causes problems, it can be removed.

Wait so GMs are paid (emphasis added)? Was that just an expression or have I been that clueless this entire time?

A sad day for reading comprehension.

This is building up to be one of the biggest patches in P1999 history!

[bizzum]

Bump for thanks! Very much looking forward to this and many other good changes!

[nilbog]

These were introduced in the patch earlier today.

Any particular issues?
Any npcs which should have further distance?
Do you like them? Dislike them?

Easy changes; let me know.

fte shouts are sweet

I like em I just would like a clarification from GMS. IF say 2 pullers go for a raid mob from opposing guilds. One gets the FTE shout but the other gets on the hate list....Does the list have to clear and a new shout given before a guild can kill that mob and get credit ? I witnessed the last Talendor pull on my monk today and a rapture puller had the FTE shout so I pulled off to let him have it...he died while I was following and no other FTE shout was given that I saw personally before it was pulled and killed. I was waiting on the reset to try again thinking the mob needs to reset his FTE shout before pulling.

A bit more distance would be nice on outdoor targets like the dragons. On many we didn't even see shouts. Also, the shouts may not work correctly when the player uses an eye of zomm to take initial aggro. Gorenaire didn't seem to shout when pulled using an eye.

But other than that the shouts are awesome. Thanks for putting them in.
