So how about this,

Whenever a party leader clicks enter or start (For Missions Or Party moves - cities not quests), all of the other party members health bars will go grey except the leaders and a button will appear where the timer would be on all the other members saying:

"Are You Ready To Enter The Gates of Kryta Mission?"
"Are You Ready To Leave Pre-Searing?"
"Are you Ready Warp/Whaterver To Droknars?"

Once Clicked It would Change to:

"You Are waiting For (short list of members names) to be ready" (there will also be a cancel button below this)

Your Health Bar will also change to red (which will also show that you are ready to the other members of the party)
Once all party members have selected ready the 10 second countdown will start (the cancel button will still be there on all members)
Anyone who cancels will have thier heath turn back to grey and this will appear on all members again:

"You Are Waiting For "Cant Pwnd This" To Be Ready

When everyone is ready again, the timer will go back to a 10 second countdown.
This System will ensure that nobody gets pulled into something without thier own clicking of a button

This System will Apply to:

Entering Missions
Team Warps From A City To City - Not Quests
Leaving Pre-Searing (this is to stop people spoiling "Defender of Ascalon")

Does not apply to:

Moving from area to area
Quest Jumps

Yes please, god please. SEVERAL TIMES THIS WEEK ALONE I've had to do a mission with HALF a monking build because I was the 8th person in, joined before they filled the slot, said wait let me reskill, and some loser goes "Go go go" and the timer starts. Sure we made it but still people didn't have to die and look bad.

Simply put I agree since some people are far...far....farrrrr from patient.

This is a very good idea

/signed

However, I could see small problems cropping up with this;

Someone abusing the option and not letting groups go, and groups not knowing who it is so they can't kick the person even though they are being annoying.

And, I can also see if you have to map into a new area after you have attracted the attention of a few hundred monsters, and you have to get through quickly. Getting 8 people to aggree before running through might be just a few seconds to long.

Same idea as above, but in a running sense. If all 7 other players had to agree with the runner to zone to a new area, I can see the runner dying very quickly. Often they get long trails behind them of enemies where the only way to escpe them is to quickly scoot through the instance. Not to mention the AFK factor of simply waiting for someone to get back and everyone standing round spamming /bored.

This is still a very good idea though, those were just a few issues I could see cropping up that might need to be addressed in the way this is implimented.

I can see people abusing it.. so for me to sign it would have to signal who is cancelling the timer over and over so that they can be dealt with quicky (kicked

)

This would be like /ready or 1, but instead of:
Enter/Show Chat, Type, Enter.
It would be:
- Click
No more afk in the beggining of missions.
Like Daft Punk says: "Harder Better Faster Stronger".

Go for it. 5 stars.

Usually I make sure to have my build ready and keep templates on hand so I can be ready to go, but YES PLEASE. I've had to switch a few things over here and there, and it's not much fun when some loser starts spamming "GOGOGO", thus wiping my "please wait, changing skills" off the chat window.

It'd put an immediate end to the premapre kidnappings, too.

And if someone's AFK, not clicking? Kick them. You're still in the outpost and can find someone else.

I've been dragged into missions with my 55 monk build by losers who spam the mission button. The ready button for zoning is a good idea too. It would stop the afk'ers on Droks runs too.

I think this is a great idea, it would make the game so much more fun.

Sounds like a good idea, especially if it can be used to get rid of the

"Are you ready?"
"Are you sure?"
"Are you absolutely sure?"
"Well I guess we can go if you're absolutely certain"

you get when you try going into most factions mission places

/SIGNED!! One of the best ideas I've seen in Sardelac in a while now.

Add some type of visual to the Party Window. Perhaps turn the character's bar green when they are "ready", or add a little green up arrow on their bar. Basically, something permanent on the screen so everyone in the group will know at a glance who is ready and who isn't. The chat line of "Player X is ready to go" is nice, but if you're in a busy town with lots of chat it could be difficult to see who is ready and who isn't.

This is soooo needed for many reasons.
- I was in Kaineng Center a few weeks ago selling my stuff. I partnered with a buyer and after the transaction was complete, my buyer immediately warped to LA, dragging me with her. I had a 10-15 second countdown, but was unable to leave during the countdown and she wouldn't halt it.

- Zoned into Nahpui Quarter. Wanted to pug the mission for fun. Had a junk test build on my bar. I accepted a random invite from someone who had a 3/8 group. The pug filled up extremely fast and the leader warped in while I was yelling "WAIT!!! FIXING BUILD!!!!" (I know, I know, I shouldn't have joined until my build was rdy)

- In temple of Ages. Joined a FOW pug. Spent a lot of time discussing builds with the team and making sure everyone had a good build set up. Leader says "Ok, everyone make sure you have keys." I didn't. I run off to storage to retrieve keys. Leader then warps in immediately. I was a bit annoyed. I mean, come on, why even ask about keys if you aren't going to give us a chance to get some.

- Pre-Searing. Yeah, enough said there. See one of the Perma-Pre kipnapper threads for more detail.

I hadn't even thought of that, but it would solve the bot issue by making it so that someone had to be ready to leave an outpost. Make it so that the ready thing is only accessable by a button on the GUI, and NO keyboard short cut, and Bam! Bots can't leave (unless they have a human handler).

This simple addition would make team forming simple and painless.
No longer would we have to repeat "ready" each time the party leader asks, which of late is some 20 times before everyone responds. I especially like the addition of the "Party Bar" changing colors for those who have answered.

When we prepare for GVG I have to make all those that are ‘ready’ sit down – easier that way

I almost think Anet might have something like this planned for EoTN. I read that the Polymock and Dwarven boxing games are supposed to be playable while you're waiting for the group to form. It would be cool if you could click the "ready to go" button and then play a few rounds of a mini-game while the rest of the group came on board.

Regardless, it's a very good idea.

Great idea. It is helpful all around. I have been dragged out with empty skill slots, missing keys, weapons etc. all because someone is in a rush. It would also help whoever is in the lead spot, not accidentally do that. It is often hard to keep track of who is ready and who isn't. Just color code the bar in the party formation window. Green for ready, red for not.
