Thank you UI devs for Working on the Raid window

[Dystr]

Being able to actually see who is dead in the raid is going to be a HUGE improvement.  this will be way better than dead raid members appearing to have full health and power... <div></div>

[AzraelAzgard]

<DIV>Has this happened or is it going to happen?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I use a custom UI that shows HP bars a little thicker and class symbols with their proper colours (like on HO chain) and raiding last night dead people still went full.</DIV>

These changes are only on the Test server, as part of the testing for Live Update #12, which is tentatively scheduled to hit production servers next week.(At least... I think that's the planned schedule.)

<DIV>Would be lovely if a Raid Leader could move people about between groups too like in EQ. This was a great feature and meant the Raid Leader could move people where he/she wanted them and didn't have to wait for people to disband and rejoin etc which can take some time. Also quick moving is greta if someone goes LD and you need to fill their spot in a group quick.</DIV>

<div></div>WOOT WOOT, this will be a huge help for the rezzers in any raid and myself as a buffing class, its bad enough to be simply a buff bot on many raids but I hardly ever get to see the raid mob or whats going on around us because of watching the raid window and the chat text to see who has died and be ready to rebuff em when they come back up.  Someone made a suggestion to make another chat window to show deaths which is a good idea but to many more chat windows and I still wont be able to see the screen.

It'd be nice to see that in regular groups too, that way someone like a healer can alway know the MT will be the first choice. <div></div>

<DIV>Hehe yeah if you can move people about in their order in groups it would be great, I love my tank at top of group ! <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></DIV>

[Vorlak]

<DIV>Yea... we actully make groups where you have the primary healer able to press f2 to get the tank.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>IF sony could do this to where we could assign buttons on the order or shift the order per player that would simply rock!</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV>

[Keldo]

how about /target <player name> ?  I never understood how this didn't make it from EQ1 to EQ2. <div></div>

[AzraelAzgard]

<DIV>You can use /tar Name</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I tried it on raids for switching to new tanks but I just found it much easier to target the boss and assist as it didnt always work out that the usual 2nd would have aggro and I didnt want 6 target macros on my hotbar for all the possible tanks.</DIV>

[WuphonsReach]

Combat in EQ1 was also a slower pace then EQ2. I used to play a cleric and relied on being able to type "/tar partialname" to target folks who grabbed aggro by accident. We still had hot keys for the main tank and other primary targets, but I was quick enough with "/tar partialname" that I was able to spot heal any mistakes as they happened.

[Keldo]

I can't get /tar Name to work, is there something I need to do?  Does it have to be a hotkey?  The toggle key will help with this, but I still find it useful. <div></div>
