Battle Chat

[Coleman1667]

i actually had a second though on this:

what if we had a mini chat bar implanted beside our battle screen? this might work but i dont know how difficult it would be to implant >.<

This would actually be pretty cool...have a social inside a pvp battle so you can talk. Can we expand on that tho and engage others in a private social? Say that a few people are trying to have a convo on social but are being interrupted by manual and how to play game questions...i feel like this would be used a lot.

Having like, a chat to talk to your opponent in battle would be cool.. xD

[neji2k]

very nice idea but i think it would cause lag maybe sorta the same reason auto social is turned off but we need to refresh in battle anyways...if this idea does work a watchers chat for ppl watching would be very fun to

[Haruchi]

Placement is an issue and auto social would have to be enabled for all (which is actually a good thing, until they don't notice they are in a battle). Moved to Pending Suggestions (updating the list).

Placement wouldn't be too hard Chi. Just have a sort of collapsible tab next to the battle grid. If someone wants to talk, the open it, type their message, and then close it. And if there's a message, it could give a small notification, like changing color. Kinda like the Facebook Chat in a sense, but just during battle. And I have always kinda wondered why the Auto Social is disabled during battle...

To make it obvious the person is in battle (?)

[Arctic]

According to either Lsm or Chi, as i forget who told me this, Auto-Social is disabled during battle for regular players as to prevent distractions and minimize AFK damage for being in social instead of battle. Moderators and the like have it Auto-Social still whilst in battle, so that we can still Moderate and such if need be. I may be incorrect here, and i leave it to the Admins to tell me if I am wrong.

[orosan]

its correct, and i dont think they had to know that we can still spy on them.. o-o;

but if this chat in battle is ever implemented, i dont like chatting at all xD
however one of the pros is if the user chatted during battle but didnt click anything, we can know if he's actually their or not.

but does it lag?
if it does , i dislike lags very much.
maybe it can be something like we can activate it at settings or disable the chat thing.

[hitsugaia]

I personally think that it is a good idea..like Orosan said you may disable it in settings if you don't like it?

[Lanaught]

Hmm...It's not a bad idea but only with the disabling. o.o That way if bad language or just don't wanna see it, it can be disabled. Though it should work only fights so I don't know how the auto from normal Social should be a problem.

I like this Battle chat Idea takes the hastyness of trying to PM and missing a turn

[Lsmjudoka]

If you're talking about having, say, mixed social available as a sub-tab in combat, perhaps, but with the current structure I don't think it would work very well.

However I don't mind unlocking auto social in battle for everyone and just making the notification more obnoxious so people don't miss it.
