(I wasn't sure which category to post this in as I am not using the beta server at all so if it needs moved please move it :smile: )

I'd like there to be an option in Settings to have a little chime or ding or some sort of non-startling but noticeable notification sound when someone sends us a whisper. If you don't have a humongous chat window, that can get lost very quickly if you've got zone chat on and it scrolls away, or if you're focusing on gameplay on-screen. I always feel guilty when I pull my window up to say something after a good fifteen or twenty minutes of radio silence and notice that someone sent me a whisper asking me a question, who knows how long ago and sometimes may even not be logged in anymore. Certainly don't want to force a noise on people who don't want it, but I'd love to have the option to activate such a thing myself.

    It's only there if you use add-ons such as pchat or other UI mods. It is not available in the default UI.

    Edit: I agree with OP, it should be a feature added to the default UI, especially for console users who don't have access to mods.

    Ohhh okay so it must be pchat then. Didn't realize that o:

    Zeni should really take some of the addons for aspiring examples and improve their game.

    Yeah, I always miss the glowing minimized chatbar when I'm playing. Just a little chime would be nice.

    It's a wonder QoL things like this haven't been implemented from the start.

    Yes please.

    Perhaps someone can write an add-on for it?

    Agreed. SWTOR has a little bubbly-bloop sound that easily gets my attention no matter what I'm doing. Would be nice to have something similar

    Pchat does this already among other things.

    Every QoL or bug fix they work on takes time away from implementing new ways to separate us from our money; Gamble Boxes are a prime example.
    I'm not prejudiced; I hate everyone equally !
