Modify ((Tabbed Out)) Toggle or Make it a Command.

Recommended Posts

What bothers me the most, is that according to people I talked to on discord, players with dual monitor setups still get the tag above their heads if they alt tab to discord, but are actually focused on the game itself, can see and hear whatever is happening in it.

I dislike the addition. It's none of anyone's business if I want to answer a Discord message for a second or two, check a notification on a forum, or try to Google things while roleplaying things unfamiliar to me. The command to check is fine, so I support that.

I agree 100%. Though I am currently unable to play and see this in action in game, it seems like huge immersion when attempting to play with someone. If you are talking to someone and they tab out, I feel it would mess with you in game as you would know that they are not truly there listening to you.

It wouldn't even necessarily be with ill intent, either. I personally tend to tab out of the game and shift the focus to another window on another monitor just so I can hear VOIP better over in-game sound and actually pay more attention than before while tabbed in, but if I were to do this now, I would come across as uninterested in roleplay and give off the wrong impression.

The recent addition of the ((Tabbed out)) appearing over anyone's head when tabbed out even for a second is heavily immersion ruining in my opinion.

It would be nice to either have a command implemented to check this e.g. /checkafk [ID]
Or to have the option to toggle the visibility, e.g. /toggletab


Reducing the overall additional "OOC Clutter" on the Player UI.

I'm not a fan of being able to toggle it, are you talking about the player toggling it for themselves, or a player toggling it so they don't see others?

I like the /checkafk idea, but... that requires more chat commands and I think we're trying to reduce those.

I really like the idea of being able to know others may not be focused in the game, to give them a little more time to be responsive, but I also see this similarly as the typing message showing.

My first thought was to change (( TABBED OUT )) to a light gray or light red to better blend with the environment and take it out of focus, like (( TYPING... )). However, while that would work, there's also some concerns about.. what would it matter what I'm doing? So, what about changing it and merging it with Typing and just making Typing and Tabbed Out show a single (( ... )) .

TLDR: Merge (( TYPING... )) and (( TABBED OUT )) to (( ... )) .
