NPC 'say' distance
 

I believe npcs on p99 can be 'heard' at a farther distance than they should.

Assuming all npcs have the same distance which their say text is visible, I'd like to know the difference on eqlive or eqmac.

Example: gates of qeynos2. Guard Weleth walks around talking about crates. How far outside the gates should this be noticeable?

Has anyone else noticed npc aggro messages being heard at a farther distance than they should? Hailing, interacting with a vendor, etc.

Low priority, just want to know.

How about PCs? As an example, if Im in EC at tunnel entrance, i can read say messages between PCs from T1. Seems like a pretty far distance. If working as intended, I apologize.

The only example I can think of for NPCs are specs in oasis. When someone runs up and aggros one, i can see the message (Its rangers like you who have ruined our lands!) from a pretty far distance.

PCs and npcs alike.. may be wrong. My stint on eqemu gave me the impression it's farther than it was on eqlive. Just curious what it should be.

I have no concrete evidence, but I do feel like, when in Highkeep, that even when killing goblins, I see NPC "say" text for way more NPCs on the upper floor than I remember on live.

It's definitely further than it was on live. On live the say distance was about half the distance of fog, maybe 75-100. Not sure what the actual number is in the emu code, but it seems to be 30-50% further than it should be.

They need a slightly longer time frame for multiple /say acceptance on a scripted quest.

Try out Lenka Stoutheart line or Squire Fuzzmin on wurm slayer. You gotta either be a boss typer like Dr. Nirgon or have it ready on the shift+up.

But yeah probs on OP.

Wasn't the /say distance equal to the death ("slain by") message distance?

This was fixed with the last patch.

Moving to resolved.
