Thread: 100% fix to mistells
JavaHulk wrote:
just change the way ctrl+r works, when you press ctrl+r have it type the following
/tell (last person who sent you a tell)
and bam, no more mistells! This would be a sweet change IMO..... if you all agree lets keep it bumped till the devs read it!
I made this post on 09-11-2003 09:54 PM
The link to the origional thread is: http://forums.station.sony.com/swg/board/message?board.id=Development&message.id=524868
It has been read 2125times sence I posted it up to this date.
Please do this, all it means is that when you input ctrl+r it does the call to last received tell THEN insted of when the server receives the /reply command as part of the message, this is a very simple thing to alter compared to the rest of the game and it will fix one of the most irritating things in it, especially for smiths, ESPECIALLY for shipwrights right now, they are all in constant tell hell, this would give them a fighting chance to talk to people in something other than guild or group chat without having to type it out every time LOL
There is no reason not to change this, and every reason to change it... please devs?

Another cool command is /tt that will send a tell to the person you have targeted! AND you can use it in emotes try a /emote slaps the crap out of %TT !! remember in emote it has to be capital.

you missed the point entirely, btw /rt sends at tell to the last person YOU sent one to, but only using /tell, not a reply or anything.
Heres the situation Iv used to explain this a half dozen times, im a WS and Im in tell hell, someone sends me this tell.
SomeCommando: Hi there! I need a Kryat Flamethrower and I'll pay 6million credits for it!
I hit ctrl+r and get /reply, I start to type no problem come here and I get another tell that says
Somenewbie: i need a kryat VK price is no problem iv got 50K so im rich
I hit enter, it goes to the newbie, under my change it would have gone to the commando, get it?

Might get much better visibility on the general forums.
I zombied this because of ship makers, they currently need this more than anyone ever has lol, also because it needs to be done regardless of what profs have just been added, its just a good idea man

Don't even need the "t". Just a /r or /t. And to do custom emotes, all you have to type is a colon ( : ) i.e.
": slaps the crap out of %TT !!" (without quotes).

Someonewantingbuffs: Hi there! Are you buffing.
Itype /tar Someonew then /tt Sure i can buff you.
Somenewbie: i need buffs.
I hit enter, it goes to Someonewantingbuffs, under my way it works..
BUT, I can see your point every other MMO thati have played has that commnd it and it would be nice

actually /rt is a different command, /r is a reply, /t is to tell someone new, /rt is the last person you sent a tell too, but this is a seperate issue from those commands ENTIRELY and thats what confuses so many people
all this is doing is making sure that when you goto make a reply, you KNOW FOR SURE who it is going to, it'll say in the little box
someone sends you a tell
you hit ctrl+r, you now have /tell someone in your box insted of /reply, you type for 10 minutes during what time 30 people send tells, hit enter, and itd goto the person you meant it!
I seriously cannot fathom any reasons why you wouldent want this, not one reason, if someone can post a con Id be very impressed, only thing that might be a con is the humor factor of sending an ent a tell and getting a naughty reply a half second later, iv done that a few times, but this is worth the small sacrafice LOL
