Thread: Please quantify mind buffs with system messages

Could we please get a system message display for mind buffs? It shouldn't be difficult to to add I think. When a customer uses /stopwatch or /stoplisten both they and the entertainer should receive a message that a mind buff for amount X has been added for X seconds,just like what is seen from a doctor buff.


I just wantto be able to see how well my buff is working (at each level for example) and also if any mistake in the buffing process has been made. Without a system message I can't tell if I letmy customerrun off with a 2 hour buff or a ten minute one. This will also let use better test for bugs in the mind buff, since as things are now we have a hard time gaging our work.


Even better, create system spam for "mindenhancmentprocess has begun on X", and even "X has reached the full extent of your mind enhancing abilites" that way they know when to stop.


I just think mind buffing would be so much more effective if all stages were more quanifiable.

Getting "buffing meters" and such like this is already on Ravenmist's list of 5 things we'd like to see done for the profession, and from what I have read since it sounds like the developers are amenable, so I think your wish will come true in the near future.

There's no official word but I believe the devs were amenable to the idea eventually.
