Suggestion talk:20090713 Groan Identification
DS Discussion (Groan Identification)
I like it. But i can see no real use for it lol. it would just be "neat".--Bonghit420 15:18, 11 July 2009 (BST)
- actually, I don't like it, but i can see some uses for it not funny. It would be "un-cool"--Bonghit420 15:29, 11 July 2009 (BST)
I can already identify the groans of my horde-mates, and often that's all I need. However... I think this would actually help ferals quite a lot. I can remember feralling, and sometimes I'd run into a cool zambah brazzah arh zazzah -- feral or otherwise -- whom i'd like to follow and hang out with more. But it's impossible... This would change that. So, my initial skepticism has changed to support :) --WanYao 15:30, 11 July 2009 (BST)
I might call it something different - "pack mentality" or the like. But I am for this idea. --Darth Sensitive

I still like it. I would like to see the range extended to the full groan area but with a decreasing chance of recognition the further away from the source you are. Alternatively if you hear it as a "vaguely familiar" or some such when you are outside the 3 block range to reflect mot being able to hear it well enough to completely identify? --Honestmistake 19:41, 11 July 2009 (BST)
- I think you shouldn't know exactly who it is - just that it's somebody you've met. Something along the lines of "a groan you recognize... " - similar but not identical to the same group message. --Darth Sensitive

Pack Mentality is pretty cool-sounding. And the idea of "vaguely familiar" is good too. I like the word vague. I'll definitely put it up for posting tomorrow. Sorakairi 12:37, 12 July 2009 (BST)
- "Vaguely familiar" groans is too similar to how it is, if you're in the same horde. For this to have any point whatsoever, it has to work exactly as it the suggester wanted: it should identify the individual zambah.
- Here's a suggestion... it works like cell-phones, i.e. you have to have contact-listed each other. Which would mean that you'd have to some in-game gesturing and groaning to set up the effect. This makes in logically consistent, because you don't know the zambah unless you've interacted with him and recognised each other, dig? That also helps play-balance it a little, too, makes it not a freebie. --WanYao 16:53, 12 July 2009 (BST)
