FTE shouts

[Nirgon]

I think it should be shouted to any player that is within casting range.

A zone wide shout for the pvp server... maybe not the best idea.

In the OP, I specifically stated that this would not be included on the PvP server unless it was requested by the community.

Just quick question that I've yet to see a definitive answer to, would simulated patch day spawns if implemented be in place on red as well?

It's not even on place on pve yet.. but I'll give a preemptive no. Vying for control of npcs with no variance lets pvp sort out the problems. Anyone wanting to get red pixels can show up in force.

This is definitely good news.

Less focus on the current raid scene and more focus on getting beta of the next expansion released after 2 years seems like a better solution

Will there be an emote when agro has been dropped? Without this, one could pull agro, trigger the emote and drop the agro while other guilds still believe that FTE has already been established.

I don't want to change the dynamic of pulling for raids. It's one thing to help sort out a cluster of who attacked first.. but being able to monitor aggro and disengages from anywhere in a zone is too much. If there are problems after implementation, I will look further into this.

Adding these scripts will take me very little time at all. I mean like.. 10 minutes if everyone is in agreement before I begin. If I can spend very little time to improve player experience and lessen the GM duties of the staff, I will.

These npcs will receive this functionality:

nagafen
vox
cazic thule
trakanon
innoruuk
faydedar
talendor
gorenaire
severilous
venril sathir
maestro
noble djorn
dracoliche
<s>druushk</s> -- removed from list due to no csr in VP.
<s>hoshkar</s>
<s>nexona</s>
<s>pharadar</s>
<s>silverwing</s>
<s>xygoz</s>

Any missing? Any foreseen problems with the npcs listed?

In lieu of waiting to revamp the entire raid scene, I can move forward with the FTE (First to Engage) message portion. (Note: Overall raid scene changes are still pending and not forgotten about.)

For those unfamiliar with the proposed changes, raid targets will notify players in the immediate vicinity who was first to engage. Once aggroed, the npc ceases additional shouts unless disengaged with an empty hatelist.

i.e.

Lord Nagafen attacks $name!

This immediately shows players in the area who was first to engage and negates the need for a GM to work out details.

Questions/FAQ:

This system will not be present on the pvp server unless requested by the community.

Does everyone approve of FTE messages? If not, please explain your concerns.

Yay devs! Maybe this will end the idiotic FE/TMO flamefests (a guy can dream)

Yeah... Not likely.
