Reduce the floats
« on: October 09, 2017, 07:04:51 am »
Sup,

I didn't read before posting, but I post anyway. Don't remember if we did this, or if it's a latest addition, but the damn NPCs are floating their text way, way, way too often. Noticed that in the Hub and some other places... they just keep spewing their pointless lines, which gets even more distracting with other players around, also spewing their pointless lines.

They aren't important to the game, but that doesn't mean they should go entirely. My suggestion is to increase the pause between their floats by at least x3 the current times.

That's all.

They are rather problematic in Combat.
Just do not implement that ugly solution from FO2

iirc in FO2 you could turn them off.

Or was that a dial for the verbosity of combat messages?

Such a toggle feature will likely never happen. Besides, it doesn't solve the core problem, which is NPCs floating way too much. Just cranking up the delay in the script is a simple thing to do and would make them less annoying.

Nerfed floaters a bit. But most people love them. If you want a private place to talk then go to a bar :)
