Hi

I'm making it short and simple.

I'm suggesting following things :

A kick feature (I know could cause some teams by people that know each other so that they can manipulate XP & PP but such things will be possible so or so if such morons really want to do it)

The background for the kick feature is simply due to the fact that you may sometimes get childrin in your game. Insulting everything and everyone by name. I don't know about you but to listen & to read that crap the entire game long is really annoying. Such people are needed to be removed from a game (not ingame of course)
Or to be very simple there are also very often AFK people in a game (the lobby game room)


PM system: A pm system (right click on a nickname send pm) a sound will be played when someone writs someone else. If possible a new window will also pop up beeing forced as front page. That works only when the specific person is in the lobby of course.


Recommendation: Maybe a sound which is automatically played when the server is full (not first when everyone is on S - Status afk people wont hear a sound if they aren't on S status.) therefore the sound system like it is right now is pretty much useless.

Well thats it pretty much for now..

Greetings 23-down

True with Vent it wouldnt be really needed... However you can't really force people to buy a headset (not everyone has one ^^ I know unbelievable) just to get along with a mod. Besides some people could be also shy or very young. Not really interested in listing to micky mouses. Tongue

anyway Ventrilo is a third party tool like your launcher. Maybe that would be another interesting feature request insert a simple but working voice support for your launcher. When someone speaks like in every voice tool a little stereo icon will appear over the nickname.

No, Vent's fine. There are literally no problems with it. Don't have a mic? Listen. Don't want to talk? Don't. Don't like someone? Mute them.

I'm so goddamn sick of hearing 'No, I don't need vent,' and then losing a game due to lack of communication.

It takes all of two minutes to DL, install and join our Vent channel, and getting regged right away is almost never an issue. You're going to be sitting there for two hours waiting for a game, you might as well.

The point that is to be made is that EIRR is too closely knit and makes you suffer too much if you dont want vent for this to be a good choice

Unless you are psychic like draken and killer you need a microphone, understanding whats going on naturally isnt for everyone

At the very least be present on vent although three guys without microphone on vnet strikes me as funny

All of these features have been suggested before - and all will be introduced (but at different times)

PM will be added during the warmap introduction, as will kick.

The sound at full game is already implemented on my debug version =)

It's best when you've got yelling about everything and the three others can't say anything back.

Yeah I know and I fully agree with you.. Still your point of view is also a bit ignorant. There could be plenty of reasons why people can't or won't install such voice tools. My own dad for example is a computer security freak. For the longest time he said that this chat tools and voice tools are the best programs when it comes to secruity leaks. And under some conditions those tools can be risky ICQ for example. But it doesn't stop us do it ?
So feel bad for the people which aren't using chat and voice tools they are missing something when it comes to online experiences. ^^ Grin

When u join a game just press RFS immediately, and u will get your sound when all players will be RFS. Im surprised that just a few players use this feature.
