How To Communicate With High Level Characters

[Soaps]

Here's a tip for people who need to Communicate with level 90s or just anyone above level 30.
You can use your Pet's Name to communicate with people who cant read your "/s".

I prefer using Vanity Pets so i use my Horde Balloon since it doesn't move about too much and "Rename" it to what I'm trying to convey.

Example: If you need a portal to Shatt.

I "Rename" my Horde Balloon to "Shatt Port Plz", then i use the "/Point" emote on the Balloon to give it more attention.

There are a lot of uses for this method of communication.
Yes you can also communicate to the opposite faction this way too. I used it to complement a hunter's pet one time.


Anyways here are some more tips to streamline the process.

• Shift+P should bring up the Vanity Pets Tab/Mounts Tab.

• Mark your Vanity Pet as "Favorite" that way its at the top of the list and you don't need to scroll when renaming it.

• Make a /Point macro and hot key it.

TADA!, Now you are ready to communicate when needed.



I DID NOT come up with the idea to use pets to chat, i only came up with my own way to streamline it.
If this has already been posted i apologize and you can delete my thread.


Enjoy and i hope it helps.


NOTE: It would be helpful to others if once your pet name has served its purpose you change it back to "Default". So others can also benefit.
Its nothing big, but just makes it easier to read so you don't have to get too crazy with Pet Naming.

Hi Soaps


I remember ditching Our group and Getting a port from a 90 mage

See this is why sharing helpful things on here (like epics int with mouseover which got trolled to nowhere) is always a plus.. I've been doing this since around new years and thought almost everyone knew about it but apparently not.

Something to know though that ALOT of names will be reserved so you can't have very simple names. Sometimes though no spaces works so lets say "Shatt port plz" doesn't work cause it's reserved. You could do "canigetshattport" or something like that and that will almost always work.

You can use /beg as well. I just talk to lowbies and get them to ask for me. Saves time. Most people don't respond to emotes with anything other than their own emotes or /s. Very few msg you.

That works too, although i have never really had any trouble with 90s noticing my "/point"s.

Hehehe, where were you when i needed you?

I saw few people asking for things like Shatt ports so i thought id help out.

Same, i have also been using this for awhile and thought people knew of it so i never mentioned it. But mainly its due to me not having an account on TI. I have been just a quite reader until recently.

Yes the other part is also true, names will be reserved and cannot be used although its only server specific. In fact just to test the name would fit in the renaming slot i used "Shatt Port Plz" which was free at the time i made it.

I should update and tell people once a name has served its purpose to reset the Pet Name to make it free to be used by others.




Thanks for that info, i updated my post to reflect what you said.

Dosen't /e works?

 

[iaccidentallytwink]

Might write an addon for this tomorrow if the API isn't locked.

90s etc can't see /e.

Off the top of my head; Something like this should work. Throw this into an addon and make a macro "/pt Whisper Me".

SlashCmdList["PETSTALK"] = function(msg)

currentpet = C_PetJournal.GetSummonedPetGUID();
C_PetJournal.SetCustomName(currentpet, msg);

end

SLASH_PETSTALK1 = "/pt";
SLASH_PETSTALK2 = "/petstalk";

I prefer /plead emote
"You plead with <shatt port NAME>."

 

[Legs]

If you get lucky like I did, a 90 could fly you to burgy and kill him for you. After a long "persuading" chat I got him to do it for me (also had Failed attempts on asking other people)

So burgys also an option for /pointing at Whisperme pet.

 

[Soaps]

I prefer /plead emote
"You plead with <shatt port NAME>."

Hehe, you can use that too.

/Beg was what i used before /Point. But when i used /Beg 90s just /spit on me ...

 

[Buckeye]

Anything you need to grovel for isn't worth getting...

IMO ofc.

 

[Mestuk]

Just gotta make someone's banker alt your bitch for a minute. And FFS don't get on your knees to those paying subscribers, I've gotten shattrah portals by spamming /rudes until someone whispered me. Good times.

I haven't tried to communicate for awhile, but dangit, this is just a great tip. One that I probably wouldn't have thought of on my own. Thanks!
