Sound notification for invitations
|
Hello everyone.
Can we please discuss the fact that there's a sound notification for whispers, as well as a glimmer on the taskbar for PoE (usually orange for Windows users) but there isn't any for invitations?  We have all come across numerous trades where they invite us with a few seconds delay than we expected, meanwhile we switched the windows searching for the next item to buy. Or we invite the buyer but they won't see it because they switched theirs. Can I please suggest that same sound and icon-glow notifications are inclusive for invitations the same as whispers are, with the option of changing them in the game settings? Also, can we additionally include a notification on the screen for any recent, currently pending invitations? At the moment, any invitations would disappear completely from the screen if not attended in a timely manner, and the player wouldn't have a clue if they have been invited unless they specifically check in the 'Create Party' tab of the 'Social' section. The behavior of this should also be amendable in the game settings according to the user's preference - including different sounds for each notification.

if you mean a sound when someone invites you to a party, there is one.

Not if you are tabbed out. Would be a welcome QoL addition.

A blinking tab when you get an invite or message would suffice.
Don't think sound is needed. " But my 2 FPS... On a serious note. The game has issue on some rigs between full screen and windowed. On my other rig I can't run windowed because it'll randomly just dump frames until I tab.

3.24: " Added a new trade notification sound, and increased the volume of the party invitation notification sound. "
Can someone tell if/how this changed? I looked in settings but I could not find anything, nor the sounds changed automatically after the league started. P.S. Do I really have to make a whole new post about this in order to receive an answer from GGG? Last edited by fostaa on Apr 6, 2024, 2:45:11 PM

I was thinking the same for years.
This would be really helpful if you have "a sound notification for whispers, as well as a glimmer on the taskbar for PoE". I recommend following options. - checkbox to activate for all invites - checkbox to activate for people who you send a trade request - checkbox to activate for people who send a trade request to you - checkbox to activate for people who are in your friend list - checkbox to activate for people who are in your guild - checkbox to activate for people who are part of previous mentioned - button below each checkbox to select a custom sound - button button to select a custom sound as default sound - drop down below each checkbox to select a given alternate sound - button to reset to default sounds |
