The damage bar, have "I was struck by <x> <#> time(s)". i.e

"I was struck by Invoke Lightning 4 times"

and the Ping circle "My ping is <#>".

Im guessing you want this so you can tell ppl in your group why you failed/died. I dont see a problem with it lol...easy to figure out which ppl are lying about lag or not.

People could just say their ping is high by typing in the statement.

Anyways, signed, seems like something that wouldn't take much coding to do.

sometimes its not about showing why you failed nor why you are failing... it is just letting your team know to wait before going into agro of next group if you are getting a ping. left ctrl +click is a hella lot faster then typing "wait guys i'm lagging" in that amount of time especially when getting a nasty lag spike you may not be able to get that message out and boom agro. if you play a important role in the team i.e. monk and they agro and you dont cast a single heal cuz you are lagging out it makes you look bad cuz they cant see your lag. but ctrl click and they can to know fast not to agro. this is a great idea!!!!!

The first suggestion I understand and agree with.

The second one confuses me. You want to be able to call out when you're pinging with Ctrl+click?

No, he wants it to be made available to let other players know your ping incase you are lagging. As I don't see a big point in this one, can't ping when you lag out or have ping because your communication is hindered but whatever. I also don't think it would be useful because bad players will just queue the text that the thing would say in their up arrow with a random high ping number and just say they are lagging when they are doing nothing.

Isn't that a lot of work just to do nothing??

Anyways, I'll sign for both of them, tho #1 seems more practical than #2, but both seem fine to me

I've always wanted to be able to ping, I took damage from whatever, in fact I sometimes ctrl-click on one like it would ping and end up running to the side.

Spookii · Sep 28, 2009, 01:50 AM // 01:50

Er. Sure, why not? I don't see how it could hurt.

Though, I can't say I've ever sat there and said to myself "Drat. If only I could ctrl+click my ping to my party! Blast it all, I shall have to type three words."

Haha, you'd be surprised what people do....

Ping doesn't really show how well can you perform.

In Europe I have always under 250 ping, but over 300 in America, Asia and International. But that never affects me.
But a ping show option may be used to discriminate.

The rest of the options are fine.

deadman_uk · Sep 29, 2009, 11:32 PM // 23:32

/signed, especially for the ping one. I want to tell somone I have a 5000 ping so they know I am lagging. I shouldn't have to type this, just like I shouldn't have to type how much health and energy I have left.

Yawgmoth · Oct 01, 2009, 04:14 AM // 04:14

/signed for all

would be great addition to the game and should be fairly easy to implement. I'd love all.

but maybe 1 exception - the ping circle calling may need disabling in outposts to prevent dumb discrimination. Example - HA PuGs form in international districts which are run on American servers but most HA games are played on Euro servers.

Yoom Omer · Oct 01, 2009, 07:27 AM // 07:27

/Signed. Shouldn't be too hard to implement (I guess?) and would be really helpful.

Shasgaliel · Oct 01, 2009, 01:23 PM // 13:23

signed for ping thing. it would be very useful. Typing ping in the last few days was quite annoying for me.

Signed, though the mention of ping being used to discriminate worries me a bit... If this is implemented, I hope it's not going to end up like Counter Strike where you can't join a single game (or in this case, party) because ping is over 200.

I have wanted to ping the skills that recently hit me for quite some time, though. If either one of those is implemented, I'd prefer it to be this one.
