Curse

I don't really know what to call it, signaling, perhaps,

the thing where you click the map and it dings.

Anyway, limited to 1 ding per second or something, just do something to stop the annoying 9 year old (not age bashing, it's just most people will know what I am on about) from dinging every half a nano-second and then some.

Well, I think it's useful to ping (that's the word) a few times in a row, since when you ping, it's usually urgent.
And if you only ping to show the way, the just click once, simple as that.

Lol, i prefer ding

I agree, so lets say limit it to 3 repeated dings, then have a cool down period.

That way, you wouldn't get about 15 dps (dings per second)

edit: From one person, at least.

you can draw on the map too, and scribble and write cursewords, all very fun, and i am 23

yeah its fun but when someone starts dinging all over the map you dont know if they're telling you to go west coz they're in trouble, to go east for their quest or what. and its annoying! dinging for a good reason such as in trouble, sure, great, but if you're getting dings from all sides which do you rush to? Do you ignore them all then find someone actually needed help?

yea, most useful tool in intensive battles to alert others from danger from the back or something, myself i didnt notice much "dingspam" but sometimes it fun to joke with it, but only when others are jokin too...I am 30

lol yeah when its not serious sure

but i've unforunately had some 'bad' groups and in that case its pretty annoying

Especially when they die and spam your screen with "you *** ******* **** you shoulda ******* saved me you ****" *leaves game*

Horogan Sivoris · May 05, 2005, 10:58 PM // 22:58

Exactly.

Besides, if you were limited to 2 or 3 DPS or something, then a party of 6 could have 12-18 Dps between them, if they want to spam, they can spam together, so they know everyone is dingspammin' to their hearts content at once, and hopefully not bugging one or more people.

I hate when people (was going to say kids, untill i saw one of the above posts

) write explitives on the mini-map, this is one of the more immature things Ive seen in this game.

How about they add a variable setting for the Ding feature. No sound, 1 sec, 2 sec, 3 sec, etc...?

I like replying with "pie" or "potatoes", writing curse worts is kinda dumb tho... if you really have to let it go, just use the chat.
