Anyone who's been remotely around me has heard me point out that this event isn't an obligation for anyone, but I think at this point I have to actually request help instead of waiting for it to float to me.
So if you want to give it a shot and you're a regular in one way or the other, let me know!
I could maybe have Franz give it a shot if I show up for the week. And that means easy healing too!
Honestly, the chatscroll is a lot overwhelming now. I can barely keep up with my own matches lately, and my chatlog takes up nearly 1/4 of the screen.
Perhaps it might be time to start having some satellite zones on the map so that the say/yell chats can be managed a little easier? That line's gotten so big that players don't even render anymore. (Which says something when I'm pulling 60 FPS on max settings >_> )
This is something we talked about previously. The late Leggerless had a rough map of reorganizing some of the "zones" we use for this that we'd been considering: The main rock area would stay, and the tree group would move to the far side of the tree and technically be out of line of sight. Bridge group goes across the bridge and fights on the road to be away from the main group. The "plains" group would go further across to the right and be out of range of the bridge folks. There'd be a "Road" group that fights on the road on the way up to Ul'dah properly. We could put another on the "hill" group that's currently located on the anti-rock, directly across from the main stone and up the hill a ways.
It's probably time to put that into actual effect instead of just thinking about it! And yes, my game always has been having some challenges rendering everyone (name plates, especially) in the line-up. If anyone's been seeing Warren's head snap to everyone one at a time during roll call it's because I have to manually target now to make sure I get names correct. God damned Circlelines!
