Am I being ignored?

I've had several instances where I was... ignored when trials are forming. There have been times where I have broadcast out into public, sent the trial leader a few tells, essentially anything you'd do to someone who is broadcasting "Room for 8 in BAF PST for invite" to the entirety of the RWZ.


So, my question is this: is there a way to tell if you are on someone's ignore list? As in, if I send them a private tell, will there be a message sent back automatically saying I'm ignored? Or am I doomed to forever be shouting at someone who can't hear me?

I thought the system gives you a message if the recipient can't get it for some reason or another? I could be wrong though.

It doesn't answer all the OP's questions (I don't think you get anything when sending to someone who is ignoring you, but that's only a guess on my part), but the wiki does answer one or two: http://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Ignore.

If it has happened multiple times with different team leaders, 3 things I would suggest:

1) Make sure you are not Hidden

2) Make sure you are not flagged Do Not Accept Invites

3) Make sure you are not in the queue

Any of these things might cause the leaders to just skip right over you in favor of people who ARE accepting invites.

And because nobody else is mentioning the obvious, this will also happen to people who make a...name for themselves on their server. Not saying you have, but I've seen people ignored without being /ignored. If you have any friends that get onto the trial teams ahead of you, see if they mention anything to you or can get a word to the leader that you are looking to be invited.

If you send them an email to their global it will tell you if you are being ignored by them.

Some leaders will put you on their ignore list for "anything", so just make a note that they are ignoring you.

Who are you all talking to?

If you send someone a tell, you will be informed if they are ignoring you. I know for sure it will tell you this with global tells, but I think it will do it for non-global ones as well.

Is it still the default setting to ignore tells across faction lines? Heroes don't see villain tells and vice versa?

were you spamming? like saying it back to back 5 or 6 times, i know most ppl ignore spammers, i do sometimes if i get annoyed enough.

I know when I form a trial, most of the time there are so many people standing around and waiting for one to be formed that it becomes difficult at times to make sure you get everyone who sent a tell due to the sheer number of tells that come in. That, and if for some reason you are bugged and unable to accept an invite, I just might not have the time to respond to tell you that I couldn't invite.

I would err to the side of "maybe they didn't see my tell" or "there may have been a problem inviting me" or the like before I go on the defensive.

Outside of that, and I guess more to the original question, you should receive an error message if you send a message to someone that is ignoring you. Just make sure your current chat tab is set to include system error messages.

reset your chat log settings.

Or re-do your chat settings.



It happens to everyone all the time in one way or another. At one time or another.


No you are not being ignored.

If this is happening on Champion and the leader has my global, send me a PM and I'd be willing to work out what the issue is.

I keep wanting to respond to this thread by saying "yes, I'm ignoring you," but then it would be obvious that I'm not. >.>

Personally I'd err on the side of "they're too busy dealing with tells and missed mine". Especially when forming multi-team leagues there's a lot to keep track of for the leader.

Yeah, I've lead many leagues and at times, you get overwhelmed with tells. I've missed some more than once. I try not to, but when you are getting hit with a dozen tells in the course of one or two seconds, with more poring in while your trying ot issue invites tot he first few--yeah, it happens.

My advice is to wait a second and send another tell. If you are sending tells right after they announce a trial, it's not hard for you to get lost in the flood. If you are waiting a few seconds, you may be getting through after it is already full and there are often too many of those coming in at once to try sending tells back explaining that. Either way be patient, keep trying, and you will get an invite eventually.

As Fennec mentioned, make sure that you're not in the LFG queue when requesting to join a trial. If there's a deluge of tells, leaders can invite by clicking on a player's name before moving onto the next tell and repeating until the league's full, while "Cannot invite [player]" messages get lost in the shuffle. They might not even realize they couldn't invite you to the league because of the LFG queue.
