Request for an Ultra Raiddisband Command

As it currently stands, raids get bugged quite easily, and leaving them is even harder.

Typically, guilds form a raid in any given zone, then massing via clicky AE port or Wizard AE port to the raid zone they are heading for. This works great and keeps the raid together (usually). However, if a person is late, already in the zone or otherwise doesn't get into the raid in the 'raid meet' zone, and a wipe occurs, going to the raid meet zone is worthless because that person (while still in a group) will not appear in raid and will miss the port entirely.

Another part is when a person leaves the raid, if a wipe or sometimes even just a relog occurs, the person will reappear in the raid (not in the group). Forcing everyone to reform the raid.

Finally the last part, which is my biggest pet peeve, if ONE person doesn't raiddisband in each zone hes been to after a raid ends, he can cause everyone to reappear in the previous raid days later, or worse, 2 or 3 raids ago. This can cause group bugs to occur, among other things, and can be extremely hard to stop happening.



However, I have noticed that a zone crash/reboot or a server reboot, will clear whatever database the raid is stored in, so that means its flushable, I'd like to see a new /cmd raidflush or a /cmd raidremove. /cmd raidflush would imitate a zone reboot and wipe out the raid database currently in that zone, preferably only usable by the "Raidleader" (whoever did the raid invites). /cmd raidremove would simply remove the persons name from the raid database window, preventing them from sneaking back into a raid after a wipe or whatever, hopefully made serverwide.

I know this topic has been posted about at least 2 other times, both of which were mostly ignored, so I'm trying one last time, I don't think they should be hard to develop, given how the raiddatabase is flushed after a reboot, so it should be relatively easy. Thanks for reading!
 
I'm in full support of this. Having the raid leader being able to kick someone out of the raid is invaluable in most situations. Having to reform a raid (which can also mean everyone has to log out) just because someone left early and didn't raiddisband can be tedious and annoying. Alternatively, if it were possible, making it so a person is disbanded from the raid if they are not a member of a group in that raid. (ie: If a group leader kicks someone from the group, it also kicks them from the raid, instead of putting them in the pit.
 
Even just the flush all would totally own.

If some devs can spend some time on this, this would be awesome.
 
Raid bugs are very time consuming and frustrating at times.

I completely agree with this.
 
I agree, a command like this would do quite a lot to alleviate the annoying raid bugs that pop up.This suggestion has also been posted a few times and always seems to get ignored, would it be hard to implement? I realize the staff is busy creating new content but don't underestimate how much happiness this would bring to raiders, small constant annoyances like this do wear at your patience.
 
I support having a way to remove raid data from the table. Maybe it could be a self only so it removes only your own data saying you are/were in raid. This way there is less likely for a bug that ends up with all raid connected chars.

Full support to lowering the bug count!

This doesn't resolve the issue if someone leaves and simply doesn't raiddisband and noone has access to this toon.



Otherwise I fully support this suggestion. Raiflush sounds pretty cool, reforming usually doesn't take more then a couple of seconds if no bug raises its ugly head.
 
From what I remember it took a lot (reverse enginerring? coding?) to get the raid tool to work in the first place. I'm assuming this would be a beeotch to fix completely, but I'm definately all for it if someone has the ability/time to look into it more! I'm sure anyone that raids can attest to the fact that it can be extremely frustrating to have to stop completely or slow down because of raid related bugs.

As long as the database for raids is something like MySQL or SQL server it shouldn't be *too* hard, although i admit I am not sure how to link it in game.
 
Is there any other official response to feasibility of this command? A simple 'I don't know' or a 'no' would shut me up about this.
 
Requests like this are under the purview of Wiz and to a lesser degree Cholfo. Basically the reason they dont get responses quickly is because of the lack of people qualified to make a response.

I wouldn't mind the idea in the least - but I am not sure if its important enough to be expedited ahead of the other coding things that we currently have going on. Then again its not my department.
 
I don't know how feasible this is and it would have to take a backseat to other things given my sharply limited time.
 
I just recently graduated with a Computer Science degree. I wouldn't mind helping out on this + some other random projects if you guys want another coder. Another project that would be fun for me would be adding the tradeskill weapons (add in a gem for additional effect) recipes. To me, sounds like a perfect job for a script to create the multiple recipes for each weapon/gem combo. PM me if ya'll would be interested.
 
raid bugs are a big nuisance and i am willing to bet every raiding player in this game is facing the same bugs every single day they raid (and raiddisbanding 5 times a day youre not even raiding is even worse). IMHO it just makes the game look unprofessional, so looking into it and trying to resolve it would not only be greatly appreciated but also change the "feel" of the game. I totally support this idea !

kudos Iance
