Am I still repairing?

Oceana

With grim determination, you set about repairing the damaged landscape.

You cease your efforts to restore the area back to its original state.

These two messages indicate that you are starting or stopping city repairs. However, the second message is easy to miss when a lot is happening around you. If you LOOK, you can see if others are repairing:

Druidess Yae Dawyn diligently repairs the surrounding area. 

But I have not found a way to check if you are still repairing yourself. Restarting city repairs is an option, but costly on willpower. I could ask others to look, if there are others. However, I would like to have a way to check if I am still repairing, without interrupting my repairs (DEF will interrupt them, for example).

Thoughts?

It gives regular room echos though.

True, but that does not tell me if I am the one doing it (or how many people are repairing). If I am alone, then yes, that would be a good indication.

i keep resetting it every 10 sconds because Ihave no clue, but you lose no progress doing it. It is annoyed though that you cant' check.

This is sometimes why having maybe 6+ people in the room (if there's a lot of time to spare) repairing works. You only need 4 ppl but there's bound to be someone who isn't actually doing it so at least it'll cover that. A notification of sorts would be beneficial by all means to cut this issue down.

@Mishgul You should agree to my first post then. Be the first Mhaldorian to agree!

I agree with this, and also for spark summoning, which generally happens in so much spam you can miss the line that indicates you've stopped, and costs a lot of wp/endurance (can't remember which) to redo.

I solo repair. Still gets the job done.

There should be a command called AMISTILLREPAIRING, which will work as demonstrated:

With grim determination, you set about repairing the damaged landscape.

After 500000 minutes, and you are still repairing

100h, 100m, xkcd- AMISTILLREPAIRING

Yes. Keep working, peon.

You cease your efforts to restore the area back to its original state.

100h, 100m, xkcd- AMISTILLREPAIRING

No. Get back to work, peon.

For some reason the commands you can input while repairing is more limited than summoning. The biggest one being you can't apply mass.

Appropriately enough...

@kyrra but solo repair takes 15 mins...I'm impatient!

Maybe something on QL or LOOK:

You look up briefly from your labours before setting back to work.

The ruins of Gloomy backroom forge (indoors).

A rune shaped like a butterfly has been sketched into the ground here (nairat: 

transfix). A rune like an open eye has been sketched into the ground here (wunjo: 

cure blind). A runic totem is planted solidly in the ground. A sturdy iron forge 

stands here, cold and dark.  Auditor Arditi Nithilar, Eye of the Silver Arrow 

diligently repairs the surrounding area. His face is partially concealed beneath a 

raised hood. He wields a sleek recurve bow of oleander in both hands. Lady Katzchen 

Lichlord, Disciplinarian of the Maldaathi diligently repairs the surrounding area. 

She wields an orb sigil in her left hand. Executor Vicious Lichlord, Squire of 

Katzchen diligently repairs the surrounding area. His face is partially concealed 

beneath a raised hood. He wields an orcish flail in his left hand.

Whatever the solution, +1 to the OP.

EDIT: In case it's not clear from the language in the above, QL would not stop a repair in progress.

Also, rationale for putting own status in QL is that you can then use QL to check your own status, as well as everyone else. Put it all in one place, and therefore simplify.

So glad someone mentioned this. I would just start repairing again if I wasn't sure, which killed my willpower when I was doing it as often as I was. Not that we don't have rites and campfires - sometimes - but it's still annoying.

City destruction has the same issue. Some indication would be nice.
