  1. If you are a busy stone slab like me, you notice that your chat gets filled with spam.

    I would like to set Action Messages (Or teleport messages, whatever you want to call them) as titles/subtitles. Here is an example:


    It gives you the message that you have been teleported and below it, it says the additional text. It could be the residence enter/exit message or the text telling you that you are in the same residence.

    If you haven't teleported (like when you walk out of a residence), then it would just be like this:



    I think this would help cut down on spam.

    I only foresee 2 problems:
    • Lack of color in the title/subtitle (Can only set to 1 color, I believe)
    • How much time should it stay up
      • For this, I think the ideal time is 2 seconds with a fade in/out of .5.

  2. Oh, yes! I'd use this instead of the existing method!

  3. I've been on servers that had text like that popping up every 5 seconds. "Blah blah is auctioning sharpness II sword!" or "Blah blah has won blah blah!" It's really annoying. Personally I wouldn't like it, it's kinda like a spam of it's own type.

  4. It is a player setting AND it only shows up when you enter/leave residence or teleport

  5. Currently there is a /ps setting to move status messages to the action bar. This is an evolving feature so you may see other messages (maybe res enter/leave and those teleported messages) being added as part of that /ps setting.

  6. I am well aware of this feature. I do believe that in this circumstance, it would be better to have this specific feature to be using subtitles.
    You don't want too much action to be in the action bar.

  8. It'd be pretty spammy. Even if it's a PS, I don't find it necessary. I see it fit better on the action bar.

  9. It is necessary for people like me. We do not need the chat spammed with nonsense.

    And I would rather not have the action bar to cover everything, then you won't understand half of it because the amount of things it shows.

  10. You could have a PS to disable the message in chat, unless you need to know that you teleported somewhere >.>

  11. True, but this looks better and has a much cleaner function in my mind.

  12. I think an option for chat/subtitle/action could work. subtitle can work for people on smaller screen sizes where action bar overlaps chat.

    but "Teleported" specifically I think ill just move to action completely. No reason for it to be a PS.
