Waiting Times, Who List: Discussion

Post by Galnor »

So it seems the main reason that many people decide it's necessary to switch sides is to create PK. Well, despite the good intentions, that won't always appear to be fair.

Idea: The ability to see who's online before you log in.

Drawback: If no-one's online, you probably won't even bother logging in.

Discuss!

It sounds good to me. I think that when you type who without no quit. it should not give the names of said trolls or humans on the other side. Should just say there are xxx amount of trolls or humans over lvl 30 on.

Ahh ha! this is along the lines the good idea I was trying to remember earlier Galnor. Instead of saying highest number all day, put total at current time, not just for one side or the other as it does now.

I'm not too sure seeing who is online before you log on is a good thing but I would like to see rather than the highest amount of players on that day an amount of players LOGGED on. Or perhaps when you type who it could show something like this:

-------------- Immortals --------------
Razina is at work so not fully here (linkless)

-------------- Players --------------
Viral Infection

2 characters displayed.
1 trolloc is currently logged on.
3 humans are currently logged on.
2 immortals are currently logged on.

Just a possible scenario and setup.

How hard is it to log on, see xxx is smobbing and crit, then log on your alt and go wreck them? That's BS, and I despise it.



how would he see that? secondly waiting 15 min is way to long most people rent within 5 minutes

Most of us got sick of the whole "mystery" aspect a long time ago, since there's a very good chance that no one will be on the other side. Having some kind of an indicator would definitely be nice.

Ok, I've added in an indicator that will specify how many players are on any given race. Hopefully that'll alleviate this issue to some extent.

Can waiting time cross-race be downed to 10 minutes please? 15 minutes is a long ass time to wait.
