Macros In Parties

If you're a manthra you better act like one.

That's helpful but yet again that's primarely for the Newbs/Noobs within the party who never care enough to pay attention. People should be paying attention. Even so if people go randomly AFK within a PT and are not able to pay attention then they have no place in that party. Boot? I'd sure give the boot to people who just stand around while the rest of the party is doing their part to take down the mob.

fixed for you.

I use to have pt chat macros for ballad so peeps don't run from it which they more often than not do anyways. If I'm not the only brd in dyna I'll usually throw one on elegy.

Occasionally I'll make one for tp report in exp parties with a <call16> if I notice someone having trouble skill chaining, but merit pt's there's just no need. It only really bothers me when calls or pt chat lines get spammed like crazy, otherwise I don't say or do anything about it.

It isn't!

For the RDMs that die during their convert. Shame on them... Not very smart. lol

I used to have a party sekkanoki macro. You know...to let people know I'm bout to SOLO skill chain.

Took it off since no one ever *** reads it. Ever.

Ahem your fix is fail. I'm a a taru rdm and and no I don't go dead instantly in fact I can't think of anything that instantly reds me that doesn't hit the tank insane amounts too.

It's annoying to me so I wouldn't do it cause it would probably annoy other.

on thf I use macros for tp, SA TA, pulling...but sometimes they get to be a bit much if everything the person does has a macro

Convert isn't boost, or a summon, or something else that's every minute in a party.

I dunno, I just consider it common courtesy. Even if most people know instinctively what you're doing, I would say /p {Convert} just to save other's the stress.

But whatever, do what you like. I'm just saying, a quick party line for that doesn't hurt anyone, nor fit into the "annoying" criteria...

When im tanking and i suddenly see my RDM's HP drop, that ***never ceases to scare me >< /p {Convert} helps me stay focussed on keeping the mob on me.
The more information the better.

/sigh Is it really that hard on you? lol

I have, for parties, only one macro. That's my pull macro, and I try not to make it too boring.
/p <t> {invite to join party.}
That's all. But for in sky, fighting seiryu and suzy, I make the most obnoxious, annoying shadowbind macros in the history of the world because I've had it broken on those two one too many times.
/p GET OFF <t>!! {Shadowbind}ing! RAWR! HISS! <most evil call I can, usually call1>
I have a tp call macro as well, but I rarely use it unless my weapon skill is important for a skillchain, which it's usually not.

Rerail...
some of the more annoying macros i've seen were in jeuno with ppl using the dance motions. eg
/dance2 motion
/emote parties like it's 1999!
(not gonna name em, but it's annoying to be in jeuno or whitegate which both all ready have a lot going on, then some dumbass doin dumb dances adding to the lag)

On a side note... FF14 better not have really loud irritating call noises. I will murder puppies if I hear <call5> exist in the new game.

I hate macros in panties... oops I mean parties.

I was watching my husband's Dynamis LS last night and noticed the lone warrior using unneeded macros. "This will cut you down to size!" every time he weapon skilled...sadness.

This. Then everybody joins in... Does no one know to do /dance1 motion?

My theory has always been that if what you are about to do is what the party invited you to do(i.e. Provoke), then don't tell me you're doing it. Tell me if you can't do it so Plan B can go into effect.

I don't need to know in PT chat that you're curing me, I will see my HP go up. I don't need to know that you can't voke for 15 more seconds, I saw and heard you do it 15 seconds ago. I don't need to see you violently threaten the mandy with your words of wrath; the mandy is pixels on your screen, it really can't hurt you.

Sam using any JA (except self sc....and MAybe...) as /p macros

DRK using any JA as /p macros

MNK using any JA as /p macros

etc etc

all of you big fat FU for lagging me up and killing PT convos

I mean sometimes you get some fun convos going on >.>

/p {ranged attack} <t> <call14>

Thats the only /p macro I have, and used for pulling only. I have a seperate macro for my regular ra's.

I used a lot more on Bard (long time ago) when I was lower leveled because early on, a lot of people didn't know what different songs did, or they wouldn't know not to move when I was midcast on a song, and miss the effect.

As the levels progressed, I dropped more and more of the /p tags.

What I have now...

On WHM:

Protectra/Shellra macro telling people to stay the F still. Also have Raise macros in /p and /l, but that's standard among WHMs in my linkshell.

On BRD:

/p tags for Elegy 1 and 2 (pulling), Finale (so RDM doesn't waste MP), and Lullabies.

Also /l tags for Elegy & Lullabies for Einherjar, since I'm usually doing crowd control and pulling, but I have a separate Macro Book for Einherjar Bard.

On BLM:

Stun Order ~ /p tag and also /t to next person in order (we use /tell+sound so you hear it even if you miss the text)

Sleeps: I don't have /p tag macro with my sleeps, but I have one for Sleep alerts right next to them so I can warn people to disengage when I am going to sleep adds as needed.

On PLD:

/l next target for Dynamis + Limbus tanking since I'm usually main tanking when I'm on PLD for those.

I have my provoke, flash, and utsusemi recast info in /echo.

/p for um... i don't think I have any for that.

On SAM:

/p TP macro for SC pairings for Endgame events, and /p + /l Skillchain notices so BLMs have a heads up.

On THF:

/p pulling macro
/p TP macro
/p SA/TA UP and Down macros with TP in them, but I rarely if ever use those.

So yeah, 6 Level 75 jobs and that's about all of the /party macros that I use, and some of them even only situationally.

So anyways back on topic.. unless its something the pt needs to know say your pulling something or doing aoe buff so gathering or tp dont need to here you say it a whole bunch k!

Do not derail this again. Gaea please stay on topic.

I reserve /p for Pulling, Protectra/Shellra, Stun, Sleep, SelfScs, and Angon. I get very annoyed by unnecessary log spamming :/ Unless you have a Magic burst setup you shouldn't need to do TP either, melee should know how to follow each others lead and sc without party chat (take it up in /tell) Of course if you have a blm they can't be expected to follow the flow of tp gain.

TBH, it'd be nice to see a /p XXXX TP is 100%! {Ready to start skillchain} macro in a party. If anything, just to be assured people know they still exist lol

Stop spamming meh!!!!!!!!!!

/stabs

lol jk =o

/l Dynamis macros are required. Pullers, tanks, Sleepers, and of course, our beloved RDMs.

if I see, another THF do "/em {Hide} Pee-A-Boo, you can't see me.", I will strangle the *** with his/her own {waist} item.

LOL...this made my day.

I usually coordinate on-the-fly SC adjustments in party chat simply because I'm usually in "/cm p" so it saves me a step of ctrl+t+name.

I've never met anyone with such a macro but if I did, they'd find a dagger in their back at some point.

/l macros are a definitive requirement for any Dyna and most Endgame activities.

IMO, I find many macros useful (such as voke or Convert). If I'm part of a SC I've already worked out a telltale sign with my SC partner (like typing "3" into PT chat) as many of my SC macros are equip swaps.

I like fun macros but I do think that if the macro is made to be funny, have one that won't get annoying with overuse or another macro without your /emote.

my Convert is:
/p White Mage Panic Button!
/wai1 1
/ja "Convert"

It always ticks off my WHM Taru friend cause she screams on why RDM shouldn't have that ability :P That and she really does panic when I go into the red XD
