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.

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.

best suggestion to date. solves many many issues... Idle bots, Afkers, Leaving Pre, Starting a large UW or FoW mission before someone is ready with a build. yadda yadda yadda. all good stuff..

I also agree that a messaage "<name> has canceled." is required too.
