[MESSAGE] Roshan respawn (take 2)

Jenova- · 06-01-2011, 11:38 AM

I'm not even near to giving up on this. Since the -Roshan Command showing you the amount of time left for Roshan to respawn shows no sign of being accepted (it has been lingering around for more than I can remember), I'm at least going to suggest something that should satisfy both nooblets and elistists alike.

1- Simply show a "ROSHAN WILL RESPAWN IN 10 MINUTES". message everytime Roshan is slain. Nothing fancy, just an ol' fashioned, big-ass red sign punching the information into the players' face.

2- As Infriosios pointed out, put some sort of message/floating text in Roshan's position, letting the player know how long until it respawns.

YOU WON'T BELIEVE HOW MANY PEOPLE DO NOT KNOW HOW MUCH IT TAKES FOR ROSHAN TO RESPAWN. IT'S EXASPERATING, TRUST ME.

This is going to help tons of people, you have my word on it. It's pretty much basic information, and is not hindering any strategic value. Just filling the players with something that they should already know.

I understand if we can't implement the whole Orb-Effect priority table, but this is just one line. One line that is surely going to help some newcomers out there (and some veterans too ashamed to ask).

Dunno about this. It kinda clutters the screen alot more. Since it already says "Roshan has been slain by the Sentinel/Scourge. Each players gain 200 Gold." Adding another line of "Roshan will respawn in 10 minutes" is kinda a bad idea.

But I prefer the -roshan comman instead though. So I'm going there right now to necro it. If ya don't mind.

What about a floating text showing the time left until he respawns at his position?

Vot1_Bear · 06-01-2011, 12:14 PM

T-up on idea. one line won't hurt.

AKBu3nY · 06-01-2011, 12:35 PM

T-up. More newb friendly.

Flame13 · 06-01-2011, 12:40 PM

command is better...this hurts belive me...one line is much on a screen...

Jenova- · 06-01-2011, 01:25 PM

@Everyone: I know, I prefer a command too. This is not my ideal fix, just as I mentioned in the main post. However, I do prefer this over nothing.

I believe a command would be a lot more practical (I mean, if we are actually giving away how much time will take Roshan to respawn, might as well be in a command). However, could as well be that. I seriously would take anything over what we have now (a.k.a nothing).

Whitefang · 06-01-2011, 01:31 PM

T-up, but only if it would be seen by everyone without the need to type a command.

Fate Trap · 06-01-2011, 01:47 PM

T-up.

Mr. Burns · 06-01-2011, 02:54 PM

T-up it is.

It will, just like the current message.

BlizziC · 06-02-2011, 10:03 PM

T-Up
people can just write -clear if its too much

kanzakill · 06-02-2011, 10:50 PM

A funnier option is to play the "I'll be back" quote from Terminator.

Or maybe "Death is only the beginning" by Imhotep.

demondance · 06-03-2011, 01:27 AM

Yeh... T-Up for this

Usually forgot about this or forgot the time kill roshan if remembered

Captain Planet · 06-13-2011, 09:59 AM

I like this. You also make it sound hilarious with the "ol' fashioned, big-ass red sign punching the information into the players' face".

T-up for sure

btw, T-up

Really useful information that nobody should miss. It helps alot in estamating if enemies are at rosh again.

Hemoxyte · 02-09-2012, 12:12 AM

t-up, thought it was going to be when roshan actually respawned (i would be shocked)

DEATHSHOCK · 02-09-2012, 08:00 AM

I would rather a message coming up when he does respawn.

D' Eradicated · 02-09-2012, 08:53 AM

T-Up... I thought it takes 15 mins. for Roshan to respawn...
