Reaver raid msg out of control

[flowmaster]

It's a shame to mount opposition to a cause you know nothing about. All of you who are /signing this petition. For shame.

I think most folks are signing because they don't want to see the message at all, not neccessarily because it shows up multiple times per run.

[ahpook]

So there are three reasons to remove this message:

1. The message is no longer useful as the novelty of the raid is over.

2. The increased player base due to server merge means that the message appears far too frequently.

3. The implementation of the message is buggy as it is tied to the lever pull instead of quest completion which exacerbates point 2.

Devs, remove it already. And if you have put one in for the new raid in Mod 5 make sure that it is not tied to something the players can do repeatedly after the quest is complete.

All I know is I hate seeing that pop up in the center of my screen. I don't hate the group that's doing it. I don't hate the raid itself. I hate the message that results from doing the raid
I don't care if it's my best friend or worst enemy pulling it for any reason. I do not care what other people are doing in game. You play the game your way and please leave me in peace to enjoy the game my own way.
I would support a way to opt out of the raid completion text. (Plus, then they could add a pop up for all the raids )

for now though:

First, let me say that the server merge is appreciated. We can finally find groups. There are still some bugs to work out (ie: lag, quest loading times).

But, now with the merge, we are getting the Reaver Raid Success/Failure message every five minutes practically. And during peak hours it seems non-stop. And if Mr.Uber keeps pulling lever we keep getting the message as well. And let's not start about the exloit.

DEVS, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE ... STOP IT.

It was nice when there only a few high level groups running it. It's been almost 3months now and more people are hitting the level cap and running this raid. It was nice during the first week or two when the raid was added to see who actually succeeded/failed, but with 3months of this message I'm willing to bet everyone is a little bit sick of it.

And if you think it's not annoying, try navigating those mazes when you get a message that pops up saying whomever beat the raid. Try running The Pit or someother quest where one misstep can send you either plummeting to your death or so far back that it takes 15mins to rejoin the group. And if I didn't know better the mobs get the same message and decide to jump me when my screen is almost obscurred with that message.

SO PLEASE!!! STOP THE MESSAGE!!

/signed!

[Akhad_Durn]

I was just thinking this.

If nothing else, let me choose to disable the message.

[Althore]

For Gods sake just take it out.. It was a good idea at the time to help tie people together in game, but its out of control /signed STOP!

[KoboldKiller]

Make the bad man stop.

[Leadsides]

Anything that stops the message.. either by opt out or by message removal.

[Inkblack]

Turn it off.

OR

Make one for each raid with a toggle box.

OR

Turn it on for a new raid. Turn it off one mod later.

We on Argo have been lobbying for this for a while. From Day 1 when it came out, you simply could not pick a quest reward or manage your inventory without that hated.... message... covering everything up.

With the recent failure of the developers in removing the Reaver message spam in the last hotfix, Plynx of Argonnessen urges all devs to remove the message before it is too late and DDO players everywhere take matters into their own hands.

Get rid of these messages with the August 13th downtime please. These messages are friggin annoying.

[Istivan]

Maybe make a town crier announce it in a specific area as it would be done in PnP D&D.

That way its on general chat and makes it more geared toward D&D. Unless someone really uses a loud booming voice announcing news to the people of Eberron in their D&D world. Then I guess for them the current system would be more realistic.

[Spell]

How about the following as an alternative to the message.

Outside of each raid quest is a NPC who will tell you the last ....20? people leading the raid and their success/failure. It could even show the difficulty and completion times.

For the love of god, get the hell over it.

[Cendaer]

Yes, please.

ONE message on success or failure, and only ONE.

While you're at it, please get it out of the middle of my screen, and keep it contained to the chat window.

This has become absurdly preposterous.

Consider this request thread

Change it to a General chat channel announce - so it cannot be seen in adventure instances. There is NO reason why I need to be harrased by it. And that's how I'm starting to feel about it - that this is a harrasing intrusion on my time spent playing DDO.

I don't want to see it. I don't need to see it. And I'm frankly sick & tired of seeing it.


This message was one of the single worst design elements in DDO - ever. It needs to be purged or significantly altered. Now.
