Give us a recruitment channel, we can keep this stuff out of VIP and it will clean it up.
Add a carry channel, this will clean it up more.
This is a long shot, but maybe give players the chance to mute someone for 5-10 minutes, I know we have a block function, but you can block someone and the blocked person will still take over the chat, not talking about giving 1 player the power to do this, but when multiple people have a problem they should be removed from VIP for a few minutes to restore order.
Today we had a really chill VIP for 30+ minutes, no drama, 1 hour later no good player was to be found, people are cursing, spamming and all the chill people I know just avoid vip at that point, this need to change.
I’d like to see some different channels to get vip cleaned and also to have a fun chat with people in-game, which is something I miss a lot lately
I have been playing this game since day 1. Vip chat has started to be really toxic. Newer players have almost no room to ask anyone for help anymore. And a lot of us that have been playing since day 1 have started to avoid vip. But I agree with the recruiting, and carry channel.
^^^^^^^
having to constantly make new recruitment messages is kinda tiresome, especially since they get buried in other random nonsense. even if the other ideas don’t get implemented, this at least should.
I wholeheartedly agree, even banning entirely would be profitable. For example, one savory individual said “I’d shoot that piece of **** in his face if he were here.”
This kind of stuff should be addressed, cause the VIP chat is getting filled up with entitled foul-mouthed brats. I really think the chat, in general, needs to be reworked.
Here to support Krat. Not just because he’s a fellow alliance buddy, moreso because he’s echoing some valid concerns.
There’s quite a few amazing personalities from all walks of life and various alliances that have got used to just ignoring VIP altogether. I’m one of those. It’s become a routine to not even take a moment to glance into that chat because the mass majority of the time it’s chalk full of irrelevant nonesense and belittling of others. Or just your typical, “who’s $&! Is bigger.”
It would be certainly nice if the more experienced, friendly gamers, had an option to interact with each other in perhaps a private group chat within the game. Could really go a long ways to building more a community feel.
Anyways I’m just one. Not even sure if this thread will get any traction but I’m with Krat on this one.
I have avoided VIP chat for a long time already, and I am not missing anything.
The foul language, bullying, personal attacks (especially from certain players (formerly) from a certain high profile alliance), endless alliance recruitment spam messages are not signs of a healthy VIP chat system.
Fundamental problem: no moderators.
TBH the chat system itself is pretty dire, it is so low tech and pretty easily the least developed/worst feature of the game. The alliance/friends/social implementation is also quite terrible… I’ve given feedback before but I guess it is a super low priority Suggested List of Improvements
At least they have cleaned up the Free Gold spambots, but in my opinion… that is not good enough.
We hear you! You can always report behaviour you find offensive to us, and that includes what you see in the chat.
In many cases, you can also Block a player who you’re not getting along with by tapping on their portrait in Chat and selecting the Block feature from the chat interface. There are always ways to avoid other players whose actions you don’t agree with, or players in other Alliances who might not be your biggest fans.
Problem is blocking doesn’t help in getting a cleaner VIP, even if you don’t respond others do.
Like sing said and I also stated In my op, we need to get carry and recruitment out of VIP, I use it to for recruitment, but in 5 seconds the message is lost because of people just talking or other reasons
Any mmo/shooter games with pvp modes that has active community ingame ALWAYS have toxic players like these.
Even Forged Fantasy vip chat is like that. That’s the inevitable reality of pvp games.
