Rylas Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 Perhaps this exists and I just haven't heard about it, but a nice little QoL addition to the game would be having slash commands that can tell you some of the stats of the zone. Say, for instance, zone population. It would be nice when forming a RWZ raid to know if the zone we're in is too low or too high on population before getting these kinds of things started. Or before choosing a zone instance to enter, put the population next to the choice. So for example, you click on the tram and "Altas Park : Full, Atlas Park 2: Population 45, Atlas Park 3: Population 5, Atlas Park 4: Population 70" were the options you'd see. I think this could help with keeping zones from being overloaded sometimes, or help us to consolidate populations so unneeded maps can close out and put less demand on the servers. "Oh, just 5 people in that zone? I'll go to AP2." Or, "Better tell our team to head to AP2 for this hunt mission, since AP4 could get laggy." Thoughts? Request hi-res icons here.

Impish Kat Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 Yah... the team search is a pretty good indicator. Except that I've found it often gets truncated, which means you don't always get all the real information. Also, it dosen't account for all the people who may have put themselves on /hide.

justicebeliever Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 It definitely truncates. Each time you hit the search button you get the next set in the list. I've done Search up to 3 times before the list recycles...

_NOPE_ Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 Oh, I'm not saying that the OP isn't a good idea... that was just a workaround until something better can be created. I'm out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rylas Posted May 28, 2019 Author Share Posted May 28, 2019 A display of multiple steps that don't conveniently display zone population totals in an easily viewable format. Oh yeah, problem totally solved. Somehow, being able to type something like "/zonepop" with an instant message from the system saying "$currentzone population is X" sounds way better. I can't imagine going to the tram, seeing 4 different Talos Islands and going through the search to tally up how many people are in each being nearly as helpful as just having zone population totals next to the zone selections.
