Not sure if this is possible...

Post by Hairy » Fri May 14, 2004 10:52 am

I was wondering if it is possible to see all the buffs a NPC has on it and to show it in a window? Kind of like the way the pet window does. I was thinking about having them show up in my target window if it is possible.

It's not currently possible to see anyones buffs other than our own or your pets, unless you have the GoD Leadership ability, in which case you can also see your groupmates.

More specifically, unless you have GoD and your group LEADER has the See Group Buffs ability.

(Not sure if you have to have GoD in order to use a GoD ability that your leader has ... but I would presume you would for any active abilities but maybe not for passive like increased attack/health/mana/regen)

/sigh why do people ask this kind of stupid shit, i hate it.

first off, think about what you're asking. you have to wait when you zone because it's sending you the information about hundreds of players/npcs/etc. The information they send doesnt include buff information because... get this.. if they had to send you updates every time someone ELSES buffs changed, you would lag some more while playing! There's no way to automatically know everyone elses buffs.. thats a really stupid question. Please dont ask the next question which is "can I see the loot on corpses without looting them" or the next one which is "can I see all the loot on mobs without killing them?"

You see your pets buffs because its just 1 npc, and the server tells you about its buffs. it doesnt tell you everyone elses.

And Lax, relax man, the solution to this problem is very simple. Don't answer the questions you don't like. No one forced you. I'm sure someone here doesn't mind responding. A question that is stupid to you may not be to another.

You do. You can't even delegate MA on a person if they don't have GoD :?

Well I think it's kind of obvious that most features that are due to AA ability or Leadership Ability, are not available to those without the ability, for the most part at least.

Plus the whole lag thing is kinda common sense.

no, its a stupid question altogether, and I explained why. and heres another simple solution to a problem. dont respond to me with stupid ass comments like you did. if you dont appreciate the answer you get fine, but why bother defending yourself?

You dont force me to do anything, but I choose to respond to messages on these boards because people appreciate the work i do and have valid questions, and some people even donate. If I have to waste my time looking at shit like this all day, I'm sure as hell going to respond. Furthermore, dont tell me what to respond to or not respond to, I'll decide when to respond or not. For example, are you going ot tell me not to respond to the stupid fucker that asked if it was possible to cheat on /random rolls? Something they have had fixed since 2000...
