roll for loot in chat? do it in color!

[TitusOvid]

Wouldn't it be nice, if it wear possible to assign a color to a loot roll in chat? like d100 rolls in blue, and d99 in red and 42 in yellow?

I know it is possible to write in different colors but it would be nice if there was a automated mechanism for chat commands to be in color.

like /roll d100 yellow or something.


Thanks for replies.

hmmm.. think you can already ---- checking now.

nope - but came very close!


but will try one more thing....

that failed - but think it can be done... maybe...

Wasn't the in game chat option for color removed because folks were abusing it?

can't one just create a separate chat window just for /roll(s)?

i'd like to seperate the different rolls. someone puts something up with a d100 another one with a d55. I know you can read it in hcta window like 53 (d100) but it would be way easier if the differ in color.

I'd settle for people simply not spamming party chat until the rolls are done as a benefit to the people kind enough to put their stuff up for a roll.

But simply having all rolls be yellow by default would be good enough.

Assigning different colors would be awesome though.

possibly, I have rolls and party chat in the same window and loot in another window.
so If I flip to the party tab I can see only party chat and /rolls. it removes the clutter of other data in the window.
but if several items are rolling I still have to scroll to match the rolls to the /dice..

While a more comprehensive roll system may be of some value, I would not expect any development in this area.. its not that much of a pita..

I would like to see end chest to allow contents to be randomly redistributed when a party member leaves the party.
Something like I exit raid and drop group. anything that was in the chest in my name gets randomly redistributed to whoever is left in the quest(only when I drop group.. not DC'd...).

This way if something gets mistakenly passed to me after I have left .. its not a oh well too bad you are screwed no one gets it now issue...
Its becomes a whoever stays to the very end while everyone else drops gets whatever is left in the chest
It would be good for the zerg and go player who just scans the loot for specific items then drops group.. and the loot hoar who wants everyones leftovers and has to keep asking everyone to pass anything they don't want before they leave...
See something you want.. hang out until it goes for roll or everyone else leaves...

I imagine that that would take a good amount of network capacity. Just think about shroud part 1 when you get close to the chest. that was/is pretty laggy. the items get created when you get close to the chest and assigned when you open/click on it (as far as i know). It would need another process to re-assign the loot. that could get nasty.

otherwise excellent idea.
