Raid Window

[Thraka]

Just curious to know if this is in the process of being created/fixed.

That is all.

If it is, I don't think it has very high priority. We have linked groups, so it's not really that needed.

 

[SprintFun]

With linked groups is there anyway to talk to just your group without everybody else hearing?

 

[Yally]

Not at present.

 

[JayelleNephilim]

No.

Edit: Booooo to Yally and hitting submit faster!

Grouplink still bugged?

I was under the assumption that the grouplink system was still bugged badly. About a month ago, we took a grouplinked group into Lasanth and weren't getting experience for any kills, group buffs worked, chat worked but who cares if you don't share experience. Now we avoid it at all costs.

It's much less buggy than grouping is. If you weren't getting experience, someone wasn't linked correctly. All group leaders have to be linked to all other group leaders for things to work correctly. The easiest way to verify is to get the leaders to /cmd group link view (or list? I forget which) and verify that they all have the correct number of groups linked.

Lots of room for human error, but when you get it right it seems to work just fine.

I think the group windows will provide alot to people that raid. It allows the raid leader to have complete control of the raid. able to switch players from groups, apointing looters, apointing leaders, raid dump allows you to see who is in raid adn who is not and keep a clean log. Raid windows makes the whole raid experience alot less frustrating that what we have now. Linking is not a solution to raiding, is way too buggy from my experience. a group gets bugged, or zones/wipes and everyone needs to relink, and so on so on. On top of that /cmd group link all does not properly works and could also suck because you may link with groups that are just hunting in zone. group linking does not offer any control to the raid leader over the raid. I'm a raid freak and I'm up for raid windows, at least start working on some of its elements little by little untill it is fully fuctional when you guys get the time please. Linking is a big downtime when we raid and very anoying. Also we were able to make channels, I used to use them alot for raids. Channels for raid didn't only allowed me to have a way to communicate with the members participating on a raid but also see how many people I have in the raid, and having extra channels for healers and slower was making it easier to keep a channel box clear. I understand that the admin crew is VERY busy implementing alot of stuff(awsome job with the new trade system) but please by no means keep this aside and think it is not important.
