About Global Countdown

English

Global Countdown is used in boss fights to ensure that all buffs are cast and all food is taken, so that everybody is ready at the same time.

How it works

  • As soon as the first player in a party writes a + in to the party or say cannel, GC gets activated.
  • Every player can then indicate that he's ready by writing a +, too.
  • Every player can withdraw from ready state by writing a "-"
  • Every player can cancel countdown by writing a "*" or "abort"
  • GC waits until everybody in the party or raid is ready and informs from time to time about missing players.
  • When the last player writes his +, a countdown is activated. It counts down from 20 (or any other value) to 0 in the say or party channel so everybody can cast the last spells, take buff food and play music.
  • Reaching zero, everybody should be ready and the boss fight can begin.
  • You can force countdown by "/gc go" or shift + lclick on minimap button
  • Configurable visual feedback on player status in the raid frame

No more »wait, I forgot something« or »why did you start already«!

Configuring

You can get all the help you need by typing /gc or /globalcountdown in any chat window.

/gc abort
to cancel a running countdown
/gc on and /gc off
to enable/disable addon. When disabled it won't react on any +.
/gc channel
to switch between say and party channel
/gc set xx
sets the countdown to xx seconds

Feel free translate this addon into your language here.

Deutsch

Global Countdown wird in Bosskämpfen benutzt, um sicherzustellen, dass alle Spieler gebufft sind und Bufffood genommen wurde, so dass alle zur gleichen Zeit fertig sind.

Wie funktioniert das

  • Sobald der erste Spieler ein + in den Sagen- oder Gruppen-Channel schreibt, wird GC aktiviert.
  • Nun kann jeder Spieler, der bereit ist, ebenfalls ein + schreiben.
  • GC wartet, bis alle in der Gruppe oder dem Raid fertig sind und informiert gelegentlich über die noch fehlenden Spieler.
  • Sobald der letzte Spieler sein + geschrieben hat, wird der Countdown aktiviert, der im Sagen- oder Gruppen-Channel von 20 (oder einem anderen Wert) auf 0 runterzählt, so dass nun jeder die letzten Sprüche casten, Bufffood schlucken und Musik spielen kann.
  • Bei Null sollte dann jeder einsatzbereit sein und der Bosskampf kann beginnen.

Kein »warte, ich hab' noch 'was vergessen« oder »warum habt ihr schon angefangen«!
