Global Chat System? [poll]

Global chat is a great way for new players to learn the best ways of doing things, and it makes the community feel cohesive.

So if you think that way you go into the options and uncheck a checkbox "show global chat", which would completely remove the chart for you? That way others, who like to chat, can stay in the chat, but you can completely ignore it?

you don't know anything about global chat. Have you considered for a second we are suggesting moderated global chat?

big fan of global chat! It's great to build up a community, to find new clan mates and so on.

Honestly kisel seems to think it is in game. I would assume this is in the main menu.

I would hope it is part of the uberbar and can be minimized while playing, with an automatic minimize happening when you start a game or something. But it needs to be part of the uberbar or you will have to decide: Do I want to be in the chat or do I want to be not in the main menu?

I understand that its possible hide and its only in main menu, but global chat associated with cheap browser games.

whoever said it was going to be while playing??? Honestly??? it's in the main menu guys, that's it.


it being accessible for the social bar would be a nice step forward from previous adaptations. but right now let's just focus on what we know works!

that's prejudice for you.

don't listen to what people say.

make up your own mind. try faforever , it's a 42MB install that takes seconds and runs out of the box. try it and tell me what you think.

is it a spam?

do people tell you to buzz off when you ask what this game is and how to play it? when you ask for pointers?

when you ask for help? or even personal training?

are there constant links? spammers? is it hostile? are there people posting offensive things?

A chat system with lobbies and private rooms (for clans, and such) would be something awesome. Would really help with arranging matches.

I see your point, but sometimes you just want to go and join a quick game and not wait for people.

I love this idea, and like if you don't like to be social, and make your life easier on setting up games. I would just turn off the global chat.

PS.
sorry for double posting, next time I will edit

That's an awful association you have, I can imagine chats of free to play browser games are quite bad.
I associate global chatrooms with GPGnet and FAF, so chatrooms of SupCom:FA. They were/are awesome. Like they are of substantial importance for the community there.
Really what is the better comparison for how a chat like that would work out in PA? A f2p browsergame or the chat from SupCom, so basically a game with the same kind of target audience?

and that from a game made in 1999 , which included this in game feature....

last time asked for help there i got laughed at
when i asked about some games i got laughed at ... sooo yea not a nice experience with faf from my part ...
other than that people more or less just joked around ... pretty much spam ...

ok nobody listen to this guy he is totally lying. try faf, make up your own damn mind.

proof that i AM lying ....
bet you can't ....
unfurtunately i didn't made a screencap of it to proof that i am right

... also thanks for the witchcall .... it just suits you more and more ...


because hey my personal experience suddenly represents 100% of how faf is ...
and i totaly said to people to not try faf in million years .... eva! ...

no i didn't share the"expierience from my part" ...

but hey it is totaly cool to just be branded as a liar in front of everyone...

I don't understand people who decide no one should get to use something that isn't mandatory just because they don't like the problems they expect to have with it. If you guys wanna exclude the filthy unwashed masses of PA and turn off the chat be my guest, but I don't get why we shouldn't have an option for everyone. You're literally taking a stance against new players becoming familiar with the game. Not everyone has the time or interest to bother with the forums.

Ah god those colors and that menu system, much nostalgia.

@Obscillesk in anycase it doesn't matter. they clearly are the minority: 78 to 20%

I think it goes to show that we know what we're talking about much more.

included feature in old game |= automatically good to have
