Add a sound (like rain or thunder) when player appear

when an offline player appear (offline to online) or a player zone to a scene it's necessary a sound (maybe the RAIN sound)

this can alert a player that in a private house no one can silently appear (on pvp this is not a nice thing)

and also this can be usefull when a new player appear on scene. (also entering from the overworld map) new forces for a dungeon... or a lot of people joining an event

 

That is a great conceptual idea, you should post it again in R20 feedback since late coming ideas usually don't get any attention.

 

I agree, nice idea. Please repost when you can. I think maybe a disclaimer that the sound is heard by anyone within a certain distance from the character appearing. If it was scene wide busy places would sound like non-stop rain.

 

Well I think it should sound more like thunder

Anyway good idea, but it should be probably optional sound and it can be quite distracting in busy scenes.

 

I do like this idea. Although wouldn't have to be thunder or rain, could just be a:

Chime?
Bing?
Gong?
Beep?
Ta-da!?
Any available standard ring-tone found on an iPhone?

 

Great idea!

 

I would say that it should be a sound that is different from nature, perhaps a "womm" or "fssash" style of sound.

Oh, you know you wanna look....

Norm!

 

Perhaps something equally interesting and unique for the corpse when the player finally respawns (vice being resurrected)? Maybe a slight out-of-phase blurring of the corpse while the player is still present in the scene as a ghost, and when they respawn or exit the scene, an explosive but non-damaging flash that obliterates all but the bones, which accounts for the skeleton being left behind from the last death?

 

How about somthing like that XD

 

...and how about an option to turn this notification off because I have a feeling it's going to get old / annoying pretty fast.

Also, is this only for when people /zone to a scene? Isn't that going away anyways?

 

I am not sure if I would like any sound other than the footsteps in earshot of an appearing player. At least this sound/alert should be optional.

 

And if RG appears we should hear "Hail to the Chief" or "Rue Britannia" or some such.

For Starr, "Ride of the Valkyries" or "Sympathy for the Devil".

Just an FYI.

 

yep.. a very far sound of a thunder... something that feel with the medieval atmosphere.. nothing that seems a computer generated sound...

new players on some "rural" scene (open PVP) can hear this sound and maybe stay alert for incoming pks...


OR IN FUTURE .... ADD A NEW STUFF (LIKE A SOUL-DETECTOR) THAT MAKES THE SOUND... this can be placed on bank if the player doesn't want alerting sounds.

 

Ehhhh....Gents (and Ladys).... dosen't any of you think that might turn out rather annoying?

 

I think we'd need about 5 or so variations of the same neutral sound, so it isn't annoying or too repetitive, something like a gust of wind with a zap of electricity, or a short warbling pulse from a theremin with a small grunt like you just landed a big jump. It should be short and distinct, but soft and variable.

 

Ehhh, I don't know about this one. I think it takes away from the element of surprise, and could be downright deadly in a pvp zone. The only exceptions: it might be nice for there to be a sound when someone enters your house or basement (Like the sound of a door creaking as it opens), some sort of soft alert sound when someone on your friends list logs on (in case you are crafting or checking your damage numbers, this can be easy to miss), and maybe a sound for when a new player joins the game for the first time. Like a clap of thunder that heralds the arrival of another avatar in the world.

 

If you is in your house and has a servant could hear it say 'master you has a guest' or something simular

 

Thats more like it!
