More Chat Lounges

[CommanderCody]

Ok heres my thought, currently we only have Public/Planet, 1Person Private Chat, Clan, and Squad. How about a few more Like:

Allie Chat (You Can Chat With Memebers of Allied Clans here which is a nice way to communicate during CQs too, of coure, it could be replaced by simply have a REALLY REALLY big private chatroom)

Private Chatroom (Ok, where the leave private Chatroom button is add beside it a Make Room, Invite User, Kick Buttons and finally Close Room Button. When you click make room, you have to type its name in your chat box and click enter before its made, the same applies for when you want to invite a user and kick him, you type his username in ur chatbox n then click enter. The user will have a "pop-up" on his screen from which he can click accept invite or reject invite.)


Thoughts?

global? nah, too much work for the devs

server? good.

own group? good, maybe a tab in orbit to join a group or create one, like clan tab.

 

[Silverman]

nice
global, i think it's not possible, because the server work separate from each other.

 

[stimo]

global would sometimes be fun and cool but like the 2 before me said would be to much work nice thinking
recruiting chat is also nice and a private chat where you can talk whit more ppl then 2 nice but maybe if stimo is talking whit stimo2 and stimo wanna add stimo3 to the chat stimo and stimo2 need to add him so every1 knows who is in chat

 

[NovaCube]

What about a rookie chat?
It can be like the server chat but only for the people who has questions about the game.

 

[CommanderCody]

Perphaps ask in Global or Server chat, or contact a GM.

I dont think a FAQ chat would be used very much.

Btw we need like some codes to find users in chat like:
/*username* to see if they are on and what room(s) they r in

/users to see whose on in the perticular chat lounge u r in

and /help to see the different chat codes

Also, with so many rooms and the Server Chat Room, you could have a really busy chatbox so I'm thinking in sidebar or in options have a Chatroom Tab where you can choose with of the Chatrooms you want on (other than PM, Private Rooms, Public/Planet Chat, Clan Chat, and Squad Chat.). This would allow users to cut out any chitchat/"spam" they dont want to lisen/wade through.

Hehe... What about chatting less and shooting more.. )

 

[akkarin92]

good idea.... more shooting then chatting...

but the idea with the chats is not bad....

a german player had written ^^ with really bad english... hehehehe

 

[lance]

Hehe... What about chatting less and shooting more.. )

baring in mind i would be HORRIFIED to see the global chat in "quick chat" mode.... lol it would just be an extremely fast moving wall of text in the bottom left. But if you could optionally see it, then it would be good.

I kinda support it.

Guys really this post may be overlooked, but an ALLY chat is NEEDED. Why do we need to use outsider programs,which lag your game, like teamspeak to talk while we can have an ally chat. For ally chat i mean a chat where all your clan allies can join. This would make the cqs much more easier.

 

[peck]

I like all the chat ideas so far except one

the shooting more and talking less one

the multiple people private would be really nice for when clan leadership want to have a meeting or so u can chat with sq and escorts. and everything needed for this is already in game except to ability to add more people

True, but remeber we want this to be as easy to use for a noob to learn how to use as it is for us.

@ Person who made Shooting More and Talking less, excuss my words but OMG! This is a MASSIVLY MULTIPLAYER ONLINE game, not a boring NPC game, I hate having to do every stinking thing by myself, theres not much fun in that. I want to do stuff with other players and usally the planets I am on have *crickets chirping* on them. The only system that has any life in it other than Sol is Vega. The Rest are litterally empty (On the Solaria Server that is).

 

[kita91]

i think this is a cool idea and would make it easy as well

 

[CommanderCody]

Thanks for the support ^^

Btw welcome to the forums.

Ok heres my thought, currently we only have Public/Planet, 1Person Private Chat, Clan, and Squad. How about a few more Like:

Server(Everone on that server can chat here)

Allie Chat (You Can Chat With Memebers of Allied Clans here which is a nice way to communicate during CQs too, of coure, it could be replaced by simply have a REALLY REALLY big private chatroom)

Private Chatroom (Like you do /create *Name Here* then you invite (and kick of course) *Username* and then /leave (so you leave room) and /close (room closes and everone leaves, only the chatroom creator can kick users and close the chatroom)

Clan Recruting (a server chatroom solely for players advertising for their clans and looking for new ones)

and System, (everone in starmap, stargate, hangers, CQ planets, and planets in that system)


Btw we need like some codes to find users in chat like:
/*username* to see if they are on and what room(s) they r in

/users to see whose on in the perticular chat lounge u r in

1. /username: why we need to know where ppl which chat room they are?
2. /users: i dont see the utility for this.
3. Server Chatroom: what u think about ''askone'' and Germans servers to much players using the chat and u cant read when many players are on.
4. Allie chat: good idea but its not really important some clans uses ''Voice Chat''
5. Clan recruiting chat: Useless many clans have already enuff players this chat will be only usefull for ''noob clans''.
6. I dont want to feel iam in the Boring Galaxy game from Bigpoint.

 

[CommanderCody]

1. Nevermind about that one as you can always open private chat with someone.
2. Its not a must have but a nice to have as being able to see whose on the planet n all might be handy.
3. Server Chatroom can be turned off in Options.
4. Yes some do but not all such as on the Solaria server where allies are key and most dont use Voice Chat.
5. True true...
6. ?!?!?! How would this make the game BG?

 

[Adrana]

Ally chat which allowed for 4 clans only.

These same suggestions has been written for many times now.

I do not support server/global chat, would create a huge lag, and I can imagine players getting hot headed cause they will find themselves in pods more often.

Nor any search/code functions would be implemented as it could interfere with GM codes.

Remember this is a Java based game.

 

[CommanderCody]

Lol, GM Codes 0.o I hope they arnt as easy to figure out as the ones on other games :mrorange:

True but once again Server Chat (I've Scraped global now) can be turned off and one at will.

Java based... true true so it might not be compatible with the search/code functions...

Also, there is a way that is realitvly easy to use to make chatrooms wo/codes, add like by the little button where you can leave 2 player private chatroom an open chatroom option, next you type the name of it in the chatbox, once your room is open you pull up the player(s) profile(s) that you want to invate and press the Invite Player Button. The same could work for kicking players from your room. And of course you can leave these rooms the same way you close private 2 Player Chatrooms.

 

[peck]

the add and remove is preety easy
if i were coding this, it would take me maby an hour.

 

[CommanderCody]

you talking about the entire Idea as a whole (taking out Global which is scrapped and probably server and clan recruting chat) or just the add and remove concept for private chatrooms?
