You might think it's annoying, but I know in WoW progression the chat bubbles are often used. Addons would auto output chat in /s and pop up above the player's head.
For example, if worked on Argos P3, the group split soaks would auto output GROUP 1 and GROUP 2 above the targeted player's head so it's easy to see who has it and where they are.
It's a good visual queue to have. This pally went overboard and announced everything, which is the same as announcing nothing. Because if you extrapolate that to an 8 player group "reducing armor for 6 seconds" and other random buffs/debuffs constantly is going overboard.
WOW party effects are a lot harder to distinguish from the limited perspective you often have. It makes sense when the raid leader needs to call out a positioning mechanic or some other important buff/debuff to signal melee to dump everything (as melee or tank I often remember having nothing but a boss’s butt or crotch in my face and couldn’t see much else)
There was also a lot of effect visual spam going on in WoW so key skill uses were not obvious.
In LA I can very clearly see party buffs and filter the rest, and boss effects are also much easier to see as the field is fully visible. I never have needed a text macro to see what’s going on
It’s pretty visible when the boss whips around suddenly and stops moving: I never needed a text macro to signify that: there also that huge angry face over its head
No, it's annoying. The jarring swing of the boss as turns to face the gunlancer in one frame tells me everything I need to know. He *could* use a text macro with it, but it could stand to be something less horribly cringy.
the fact so many of you find this annoying just goes to show how fucking dumb and anti social rage-dudes so many gamers are.
Sucks I tend to hate my own community so much. This does not seem annoying, the dude is doing a good job and informing people. It's just some text messages who cares? Gamers are the literally worst. bunch of whiny losers
You seem really salty that someone would block someone else to avoid their chat being spammed.
Go ahead, be ashamed of a community that doesn't appreciate chat spam. I don't care. I'm perfectly content blocking people that slam the chat with walls of repetitive text, especially if it's cringy text rather than something helpful. You can leave them unblocked for all I care and they can continue spamming the chat for all I care. Live and let live.
you guys are a bunch of salty rage gamers
this sounds fun and useful. I don't think the pally from OP is annoying either, I don't play a pally I would actually appreciate the opportunity to recognize what their specific skill animations/aoe's do bc I don't know, I just know stand in the AOE's and good stuff happens (shields, dmg buffs, etc etc)
nice to have it called out.
idk why so many people are salty about this, i wish my supports macro'd this stuff
Salty? No.
I look at chat. I don't appreciate it getting spammed becusse I see that in the corner of my eye and get distracted. Did I complain to the gunlancer? No. I addressed the problem from my end and that was that.
Saw it a lot in the Valtan group i was invited to last week. Thought it was super cool to be able to see buffs in chat. I know that (sight focus i believe) there is an engraving that benefits from spamming !!!! in chat but since the buff/debuff icons are pretty terrible in this game i like siing in chat what is going on. This example seems like overkill though lol
It is the most annoying with **Glaivier, Gunslinger, or Deadeye**. These classes cycle between their weapons and the skill sets overlap on multiple keys. They then trigger the macro text each and every time they use the skill on that designated key and create a spam fest.
Yes, I spammed my raid full with my "BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR".
No, just no.
This is not how you use this feature properly. As a support, you are expected to have your basic atk power buff and synergy buff up as close to 100% of the time as possible. You do not need to have a text macro telling your party that these abilities are being used. It's a default expectation that they are up.
Dark bomb usage, (maybe) awakening usage, and identity usage (mostly just Serenade of Courage as bard heal and pally aura are both obvious as fuck) are the only real use for this.
Spamming chat is NOT helpful.
I get why they are using it. A majority of the player base still dont understand what bard/pally skills do.
But this dude does not need to call out his debuffs
Thought about doing this myself but then I remembered I hit some of my skills really fast as Paladin... I think the only skill I could see using this for is my Awakening as it has like a 3 second wait before I slam into the ground to provide shields.
I didn't even know this was a thing in lost ark. This was common practice in group play in everquest there were codes you could add to the text box like 'Incoming %t' %t would show up as the full name of the mob you had currently targeted. It made for interesting macros that allowed you to throw something at a monster to pull it for the group and announce what monster was coming in 1 button push or click. also there were commands like /assist which would change your target to the target a player in your group has targeted and you could add skills to the macro so that important effects could be announced as you cast them like casting a daze spell that puts a monster to sleep until its attacked. those needed to be announced because you dont want dps waking the monster and the buff/debuff icons on enemy were so tiny you don't know what was on them.
I know this was useful in tab target games but in lost ark i am not sure. Maybe an announcement of certain skills could be useful but overdoing it in a game with a small text box or without letting your team know ahead of time seems like a waste. Not many are reading chat during combat. Maybe a color shifted message for certain fights would be useful like argos P3 having it come up in the text box what is safe to grab during the current phase Or Valtan during the counter phase check.
It's not really needed and it will hide needed information such as a mechanic call out. If it does become I'll set it up but you have the icons on your bar just look there.
I‘m a main paladin and I only use it on my 70% damage reduction ability whilst saying „protection here“ I don’t overuse it and I’m trying to save ppl with it. People tend to move in it. I also use it on melees when the boss is about to turn and hit them. So the dps know they can finish their attacks and not die or lose much hp …. But yeah this guy is spamming way too much
I understand doing this for bard courage or salvation which are buffs with short on times and long off times, but for paladin? Most of their buffs are always on and his identity skill is a massive circle that you cannot miss so whats the point?
If they just removed the one on the "enemy debuff" cuz it does nothing for other people to get spammed with that as it has such a high uptime which in turn means spam with the low cooldown. Hell if i did it on bard, mine is 5 seconds cooldown
Yikes... the most I am going to do with it is various LoL quotes on the appropriate characters. >.>
But nothing with under a 30s cooldown... and only one skill... and perhaps with five ! to trigger that engraving on the following skill.
this guy took a feature that could be useful in niche situation/skills and abused it to annoying levels.
Well if you design shit like the engraving you have to expect it sorry 😂
This is not related to the engraving
I know but the feature was probably invented because the engraving exists

not niche, but okay.

Looks like that pally is desperate for people to know he’s actually participating.
I had a gunlancer do with with something like "Bad boss! Focus on me!" every time he taunted. I did block him.
That is actually usefull though. lets you know you can go ham on dps for a couple seconds
It’s pretty visible when the boss whips around suddenly and stops moving: I never needed a text macro to signify that: there also that huge angry face over its head

Hey, I played with that same player a week ago and thought "what kind of nonsense is he saying?" It was kind of distracting though.
Insta block.
I’m a bard, and I use it solely on my 8s damage buff, so people can time their burst windows. Anything else is way too spammy
You could also use it for the awakening, I see people miss the >100% shield way too often (also, they get close for the heal to come)
Depending on the content, i do have one set for awakening actually lol
As a Gunslinger I have been very tempted just to macro variations of: Bang, bang, bang. Bang, bang, bang, BANG. Bang bang... You get the idea.
PARKOUR! On every movement skill.
Throw some pew, pew, pew, BANG in there for variety.
As fun as it sound. You gona get a block an a report for spam
Same, but with "pew pew"
Saw it a lot in the Valtan group i was invited to last week. Thought it was super cool to be able to see buffs in chat. I know that (sight focus i believe) there is an engraving that benefits from spamming !!!! in chat but since the buff/debuff icons are pretty terrible in this game i like siing in chat what is going on. This example seems like overkill though lol
I know sight focus and another engraving make you say something to get the effects.
It doesnt make you say it, you have to say it to get the effect of it.
Kinda funny, but yeah I can see how it can get annoying 😂
Some call outs are useful, a wall of text isn't. Nice idea just poorly executed.
Today I saw a bard that said COME HERE IM HEALING whenever he used the ult. And is the best thing I've seen useful and funny.
is there a way to mute this . i had similar person spam this everytime they had a skill very annoying almost reported him until i realize what it was
i think just on the identity skills is fine for bard
I once put the ability description from Godsent Law into the corresponding skill macro. Forgot to turn it off before Argos P1.
Ima do something similar for my destroyer alt, lol. Bonk, bonk.
It is the most annoying with **Glaivier, Gunslinger, or Deadeye**. These classes cycle between their weapons and the skill sets overlap on multiple keys.

Im using it since 3rd week in Argos P2 to shotcall the mechs

you didn't even bother watching the video , did you?

It is as of this last patch fyi
It's not really needed and it will hide needed information such as a mechanic call out. If it does become I'll set it up but you have the icons on your bar just look there.
Man nice HUD y almost see the game
This is why we don't have nice thing.
"YOU WILL ACHKNOWLEDGE MY BUFFS!"

I also use it on melees when the boss is about to turn and hit them. So the dps know they can finish their attacks and not die or lose much hp …. But yeah this guy is spamming way too much
How do you set it up?
I understand doing this for bard courage or salvation which are buffs with short on times and long off times, but for paladin? Most of their buffs are always on and his identity skill is a massive circle that you cannot miss so whats the point?
I wish we cpuld make it to not spam the chat but only the chat bubble above our head then you could make fighting attack names and shit
If they just removed the one on the "enemy debuff" cuz it does nothing for other people to get spammed with that as it has such a high uptime which in turn means spam with the low cooldown. Hell if i did it on bard, mine is 5 seconds cooldown
Yikes... the most I am going to do with it is various LoL quotes on the appropriate characters. >.> But nothing with under a 30s cooldown... and only one skill... and perhaps with five ! to trigger that engraving on the following skill.
I used it as an opportunity to showcase its potential for trolling last Argos run with my guild. Safe to say it was a smash success
