Quarter door communication.

We will file suggestions here that did not make the cut. Don't expect detailed responses, but the most common reasons are:

  • implementing the suggestion is impractical, or too much work for the gain
  • the suggestion is thematically against our design philosophy
  • the suggestion is too detailed/low-level
    Keep your suggestions broad and focused on RP benefits, please, not detailed suggestions of how to fix everything.

Quarter door communication.

Post by Myles Magnus »

Though not all of them. A good few quarters require a loading screen transition for you to enter the home. This makes these particular homes impossible to communicate to the other side of the door when somebody knocks. I suggest a command be added that can be targeted on quarter doors that will send a message through to the door to its connected door in the loaded zone. Much like the knock on door option perhaps but allow for a custom message.

I'm going to be a meany and reject this. The problem with it is to me it makes quarters even more of fortresses, where people never have to leave or enter, it harms the chance of espianage, quarter breaking and the like. And besides, someone can always send a speedy before hand saying they're coming. Or you could work out a secret knock so you know its someone. Either way - denying.
This too shall pass.

(I now have a DM Discord (I hope) It's DM GrumpyCat#7185 but please keep in mind I'm very busy IRL so I can't promise how quick I'll get back to you.)
