we don't have that, right?

We don't.

k, ty for the confirmation

now, to @ that whispers me in the game: just use /who [char name], then PM me or discord me if you really want to contact me, otherwise it's futile (I haven't answered a single whisper in past few years!!! although I did try, but always too late )


and to : plz consider adding a whisper sound, otherwise /msg command is very often pointless and might as well not exist (can't believe it hasn't been added yet)

I feel like the argument here would be if you're not actively playing to see it, it wouldn't benefit you to be able to hear it either.

How about using the same method when someone has msg'd you in game ... /who character name and press enter... you will get a reply of either they are not online... or if they are, you can see how long they have been inactive by X# of Seconds. the only time this does NOT work, is if they have had a 1006 disconnect and the timer has reset.

No need to go to your Discord... also, some players DON'T use discord ... i.e. myself, and if I was using discord... I play with no headphones, and my speakers are there for the Movies, TV series, Anime Series and music I MAYBE watching at the time and can not hear a whisper.


Not disputing you... but if you press L (brings up chat logs) and you see a msg sent to you... you can reply by typing /r HI ... this will also tell you if that player is active before typing /who



EDIT: this is why in trades I always ask them to send me a message in game.

/msg *izparagonzi (add in contents) ... now they will get feedback... I am online, they can see what character I am using... they can type /who character name (press enter) and they can see how long I was active by seconds.

Now if I am online, I use /r Hi, what is up??? ... they will get that and boom... can trade now because we are both online at the same time.

a direct PM to you also works, if you have push notifications enabled.

I'd be down for a little ping noise or make the log window flash shades of blue until you click on it to acknowledge you have seen the message. I have definitely missed whispers from people, especially when climbing and the logs are filling and scrolling fast while leveling up.

Hello we are trying to reach you regarding your car's extended warranty. I feel like it would be abused and people would annoy others with it. It's fine the way it is currently.

I wasn't talking about something that dramatic, just enough to create the attention that you have a message. I think you're overthinking it lol

In the chat logs you can see the message in a different color.

EDIT2: idea?
Now like you said... it does not stand out when you are playing... so then when a msg is sent to you while you are playing, the whole screen Flashes for 2 seconds with a red background (doesn't matter what device you are on) ... after the 2 seconds, it is up to the players to check their Chat Logs... so maybe the Chat Log Window appears in a different color... so you know someone has msg'd you in game?

Either that or give us the option to filter out all the MQ attempts and say Warm Lights while navigating the maze of a Catacomb or Map.

EDIT: if you don't want msg's sent to you... then all of the above is cancelled out.
