(your name here) used Recall!

[Dsawemd]

I have seen numerous disputes regarding whether a player combat logged or recalled.

I believe as of now, it does not send out a pvp spell alert saying "(player) used recall"

If I am correct in that, then I think it should send out a recall alert, to let people know you didn't combat log.

These disputes happened 3 times in o chat yesterday. In addition to telling players when someone does recall, a lack of this alert would be indicative of combat logging, although not indisputable evidence, and would aid in catching those individuals who exploit the alt-f4 spell.

If I am incorrect in my assumption that it does not send out such a pvp alert, and it already does, perhaps we could increase the Radius of the alert.

Thoughts?

It doesn't send out an alert, primarily because the /mark and /recall spells aren't handled internally by our Heroes plugin, but are a separate plugin that we've integrated into Heroes, and which doesn't have an alert option built into its code. I don't know if our coders can make an alert for it, but if they can, I agree that it would help a lot. Cowards should be exposed!

EDIT: Note that you can type /player to toggle all login/logout alerts, which would also settle the argument before it starts, but it spams the chat at high traffic.

Good suggestion Dsawemd! We're working at 'porting' the mark/recall skills into Heroes so we can attach various costs to them.
