Audio Triggers

I don't know if this is the right place to post this. But I think it would really benefit players if we could get the Audio Triggers feature put in. I know some people have no need or want for them, but players who kite or buff and keep the party buffed and don't have time to read the text that such and such spell wore off could really benefit from hearing the AT let them know their DOT or buff is gone.

Thoughts, suggestions?
 
I don't even think this is possible. Also how does one not have time to read text.

When I'm kitting 4 or 5 mobs around in circles and doting them, I really don't have time to check the text for yellow writing and then look and see what dot/snare dropped. I'd reather hear a DING or whatnot and know that I need to cast my darkness spell again.

They have it on live and I think it was in around GoD (could be wrong though on the timeframe). All I know is on live it is there, so hopefully one day we can have it here.

Make a seperate window that only shows spells worn off messages. How hard can it be to read ONE line of text, even while kiting?

I have a window that shows only spells wore off. If I could make each spell wore off message (one for my darkness, one for my poison, one for my disease, one for my fire dot etc), I wouldn't need a Audio Trigger, but I guess I'm the only kiter out there in the game that thinks this would be huge for us.

It can be a pain to try and read 1 line of text while you are kiting yellow mobs around (4 or 5 at a time) trying to avoid getting hit while dot'ing them.

I fell in love with this feature when they released it on live because I didn't have to try to read the message to see what spell wore off while I was running in circles.

Either you are a fast reader (which I'm not) or none of you play a class where you kite mobs to gain exp.

If you don't play a class where you kite mobs, then you obviously have no clue as to why I think Audio Triggers are so awesome and important for a Necro/Ranger/Druid/Wizard. They can also be good for shamans and other buff classes as the Audio Trigger can be setup to let you know when a buff has worn off of one of your group members.

My reasoning wasn't ment to be a smart*** reasoning, it was ment because it a great feature in Live and I would hope one day that it would be available here as well (isn't this server suppose to be Classic EQ with some improvements? Like the best of the best stuff put here, leaving the crap out?).

It is most likely not possible to implement here because of the old client. Also, your idea of what this game is supposed to be is completely off. It is supposed to be a unique game set in its own world that has very little to do with live.

I dont want to be that guy but if your just looping 4 spells you could you know memorize the time and order that they fall off.
I've never actually tested this oh my god 3rd party software but: http://gambosoft.com/Pages/GamTextTriggers_Features.htm would seem to do everything you want

It's not 4 spells because Necros work differently then most other dot classes (IE Shamans). Necro dot lines can stack (meaning we can have 3 poison dots, 3 disease dots etc) and I like to have all 8 spells be some sort of dot (with 1 being a darkness, since it's a Dot/Snare combo). That is 8 spells that I am trying to remember how long I have before they fade and with each time being different it can get confusing.

I know they might not be able to do it because of the difference between live and this client, but I am only asking for a hopeful maybe in the future. I also understand the lore of this game and that it is totally different from live.

What I ment with my statement is that this game seems to focus on the good "features" of live (AA's/no PoK, there MoP is somewhat close, etc). I think Audio Triggers is a + feature that should at least be looked at (or investigated) by the devs/admins. If they can implement it, I don't see why they shouldn't as I believe a majority of your casters would end up using it in some form. I know some wizards here that would use it for their buffs as well as shamans and clerics who do buffing on party members. Kiters would benefit because they could assign triggers for each dot/snare (like I want to do)

I am just suggesting that this should be looked at if it can be, if not then maybe down the road. But I do think it would be a huge benefit to the majority of the players in the game.

I hope everyone understands where I'm coming from with this and hopefully why I think it would be a great improvement for the game (I love this server and I'm really glad I found it, I've got my son and his step dad and his uncle playing with me on here, so I'm just trying to help improve it).
