Away/Do Not Disturb Message

I looked and didnt see anyone suggested this, but I think it would be a great way to show were you are. SO for example if your running someone to droks and you dont want to be disturbed, someone who wants to PM you would do so and it would say "Blah Blah Blah may not answer you back because he is 'running to droks' " What do you think

i like this i want a small box to type in something to tell people what im away for

Interesting idea. Could definitely see that as being very beneficial.

personally with this request it seems like its getting to the point of TMI....away or dnd seems to some up status as is imo....like if the status is set to away is it absolutly crucial to know where or what they are doing, seriously....Komma Kommander may not reply because he is taking a shit....hows that??

Perfect, exactly my point! Thats for proving that! You guys are awsome help! (just the last sent)

Similar thing was brought up in another thread, where you can find people even when you don't want to be found. I don't like the idea at all. If I want to go on the game and not be disturbed, I don't want people knowing where I am and what I'm doing, making the game more Big Brother. People could keep doing that, getting updates on your global position, stalking you through towns and towns.

Sod that. Why would people do that? It's the internet! There's some weird sods around.

I'd prefer it to be like AIM, custom away messages. For example, just a plain "brb" or "brb going to the mall talk to ya later".

The difference is, in the other thread, you had no choice in the matter of someone finding out where you are.

With this idea, it is a status message you type in yourself.

Personally, I like the idea, if I need to talk to someone who is listed as "Away", I'd like to know if they are "in a GvG" or "afk 9 rings". It would help to know how long I'd have to wait to talk to them.

There also needs to be something where, if you're set to Do Not Disturb, and you try to pm someone, it should say "User may not be able to reply because your status is set to Do Not Disturb."

Hey, worked in Diablo 2.

,,I'm away - lol mefrunning, leave message maybe I'll answer''.

i'd love this
i could just type in STFU and ppl would leave me alone cuz even when i'm on away people still whisp me for some stupid shit i don't need like "WTS elite assa tomes blablabla" seriously i wanna kick that guy's ass

i dont like the idea of ppl knowing where i am, getting stalked by randoms who add you to thier friend lists no thx

Do I think I'd use it? No.

Do I think the community as a whole would benefit from it? Yeah, probably. It's not like you have to put something in there if you want to go away/dnd.

You've got my /sign.

another idea from battle.net. I wouldn't like it because most people are pricks and would set it to "Go [email protected] urself you ************************************************** ****************************" I think you can replace the asterisks with anything and it'd still be accurate.

I like the away message but the DND message is just screaming "Abuse me!"

I like it they have it like that on Warcraft 3 and the exspansion(if any of you played it). It was nice because on away the pm's would come through and it might still have a message that would go to the person saying xx may not respond because he is in an epic battle. Same idea for DnD. I loved it because it let people know I was in a game and not just ignoring them.

You mean to customize the /akf message?

Something like:

/afk Message

The text could use the same variable used for Party search. But this would also work in explorables.

Yup, it would come in handy.


/afk I'm sitting in the circles in Shing Jea ES-01
/afk WTS Glaciar Stones, at Longeye's Ledge every 10 minutes.
/afk LFP Aurora Glade (currently Vanquishing Maguuma)

My friend always disturb me when I'm farming
Would love to be able to type something like: "I'm farming so stfu"

"I don't need to hear your stupid shit, so bugger off."

Perfect RA message. As long as we cannot be reported; after all, it's our own personal Do Not Disturb message; we can't have the 6 year old speech police intruding even there.

I'm surprised that people do not know the meaning of: "Do not disturb and Away"!!!!

Learn 2 Read pl0x. If you "don't like the idea of ppl knowing where you are/getting stalked by randoms", then don't say "I'm in LA AD3 hurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr", but something in like "AFK, 20 minutes", then they won't be able to stalk you.
