Shouting

Am I the only one annoyed by...well...annoying little novices shooting their mouths off? I didn't think so.

I propose that Shouting be made so it can't be done while you're under any sort of "peace" effect. Sanctuaried rooms? Nay. Peaced village? Nay. Divine Grace? Nope.

This is primarily because people always feel the urge to be extraordinarily insulting or mouthy when they know nobody can retaliate against them. There's always the, "just remember for later" theory, but you can't remember every name all the time, and I wouldn't put it above people just to make new characters to shoot their mouth off, and never play again.

'Course, could still shout and then run into a safe area, but well, can't cure -every- problem.

Ability to shout should come at level 50 smile.gif

They should raise it to 50, yeah.
Unknown2005-08-31 00:17:49
People love to annoy. It's their nature. Well, sometimes, not everyone does it. But yeah, I thought you had to be a certian level or something of the sort to actually shout? Maybe it should be higher? (if there is indeed one, I have never tried to shout yet so don't know) Then again, just maybe going shouts off will help. Who needs to hear the blah blah blah in the air all the time eh? Not that I find it a constant stream of voices.

A bit ironic, actually. I was once famous for Portal Shouting.

Not too many people cared, though. They were too busy being furious over my novice slaying.

Meh I've no problem with the way it is now.

If you're going to change the level, make it level 40. Nothing else interesting happens at level 40, not like 20, 30, and 50.
Acrune2005-08-31 03:12:21
Something interesting happens at 50? Don't remember any changes.

It is current required that you be level 20 or higher to shout.

Edit: Oooh, make it level 65, to make up for not getting any neocredits then biggrin.gif
Unknown2005-08-31 03:16:15
No, just let shouts remain as is.

As long as it doesn't lapse into the level of siliness Achaea had that forced them to nerf it, I want shouts. You always have the option to turn Shouts off. It still takes time to get to level 20.

At level 50 you can become a mentor, assuming you have enough hours. You also gain the ability to post on the plots newsboard, also if you have enough hours.

The only shouts that annoy me are when people shout for others to stop shouting. Unfortunately, I can't think of a way to discourage those.

shoutsoff = solution
Munsia2005-08-31 04:12:00
I think Divine should have limited shouts...
Yrael2005-08-31 04:20:36
I like Narsrim's solution. Imperian has them off, as an example.

Now I have to go hide before the world implodes from Narsrim and myself agreeing.
Unknown2005-08-31 04:30:33
Good point, thier willpower and endurance is clearly limited. Remember when some of them fought Viravain and began to tire and stuff? See, they get tired like the rest of us!

Down with divine shouts!

I think he meant the actual command in-game to stop listening to them, not actually abolishing them.

Feel free to feed me my own disemboweled intestines if I'm mistaken.
Yrael2005-08-31 05:10:00
You're wrong. Tasty Jack.
Jack2005-08-31 05:12:07
Until Lord Narsrim his'self posts on the subject, I can only assume you're trying to eat my delicious innards on sheer principle.
Unknown2005-08-31 07:14:57
Why on earth would divine not be able to shout more then Mortals?

You know, them being well... gods and all that
