GTFO Global Chat

[Jasdemi]

Global chat. (This will be removed or reduced March 1st)

Global Chat kills the atmosphere ingame and this red color of annoyance is causing serious eye cancer. Please let us at least disable it, I don't wanna be forced to read some bullcrap from random people.

[mjgreenjr]

I couldn't have said it any better myself. Agree whole heartedly.

[STAR_GOD]

totaly agree! No more Inquisition spam from me

[Mystais]

Hmm... remember last night when the guide was asking everyone about how weapon/tool decay should be handled? That would not be possible without some sort of global chat though.

But then again maybe the general chat can be off and they just turn it on for such times.

We have a forum with a fancy poll feature without red text for this.

agree 1000000%

[Sakho]

Global chat will be removed, thats what I heard.

[Jasdemi]

Yeah, I heard that too. Until I've read the news on our new launcher.

[Vandali]

It's not just annoying it's game breaking. It quickly deteriorates into a sess pit of people whining and moaning when a guide isn't around. Were going to need rafts with the flood of tears when people get pk'd, i dont think i'll be able to play with it in, it really is that annoying.

[Stundorn]

vote YES

[esudar]

if i have a problem i want everybody to read it hmkay

[Mako_Jak]

The sooner global chat get's removed, the better.

[Twosock]

Agree or atleast give us some command to switch it off/on channels we dont want. (as it is chat window is pretty much unused.)
Since well to much red spam running across it. have to keep scrolling back to to make sure you didnt miss some tribe/general/Whispers. its like a russian roullete with 5 bullets.

Was looking forward to live game without it.

[Haakhen]

I agree, Golbal Chat be gone!

[Joph]

Please kill it today.

[outfctrl]

What about some type of local chat?

[ButtaRock]

we need tabbed chat, the ability to make rooms with our own security option & the like.. that chat we have now is a pain because if functions are outdated big time..

On that note, I'd like to see the game messages and chat separated, so I don't have to sift through

We already have general chat, which allows you to chat with people up to a whole 2 zones away!

[Larsa]

Agreed that global chat should go as fast as possible.

Equally important however would be a local chat, say a channel that covers a radius of 10m around the talker. Zone chat can stay as it is. Of course the zone chat should get the /y chat command and the local chat should get the /s command.

[Sobez]

Also maybe a background behide the chat box...idk if its just me but its kind of hard to read txt sometimes :/

[Saorlan]

Global Chat?

GTFO !!!!

and GTFO now !!!!

[Vadio]

Yes remove because i sense several tribe spam

/sign

[SlightlyEvil]

Couldn't agree more, the red chat completely destroys any immersion, even the local chat is kind of bad, I mean irl I couldn't hear someone talking like 1km away lol

[fishFUNK]

get lost you jerk ass global chat.

Yeah, I can agree with this 100%.

[bruisie159]

with the option to turn off zone chat please. Local (very local) should be the only one compulsory

[sionide]

I think a very local chat (10m) is desparately needed.

I remember when me and my tribe leader went to trade and make relations with our neighbouring tribe. About 5 of sat around the camp fire and just talked for a bit; however, everyone in the zone could hear us and we heard all zone conversations.

[fishFUNK]

:eek: This is hot. GIVE ME UR CORDS. :o

[sionide]

What can I say we are swingers.

[river111]

Guides have said it already in game, one dev too - they were pushing all week for people to get used to /s and /h to reach them. When it comes up today global /y should already be gone. Thats what they have said in game anyway, I really hope its today and not March 1st. It needs to be gone NOW.

[ButtaRock]

i personally dont think any chat should be gone to be honest.. You should have the option to use the global tab or the local tab or the recruiting tab.. To me limited chat options make an already small player base even more isolated.. Our number one goal should be to bring in as many players as we can& make the game feel massive..

Again imnot for forcing people to see a global or local chat but dam sure should be there for the new guys to find people from all over the game.. I think alot of the options i see on this forum are selfish & not in the best interest of the game to grow & cater to the new player..

all IMO of course..

[blake378]

global chat is the only thing about this game i dont like

[Honelith]

PLEASE get rid of Global Chat.

[ifireallymust]

If it would help even slightly with the lag at this point, I vote yay! Global chat begone. Plus it's getting really ugly in there as frustrated players attempt to vent their rage in ways that probably will lead to even more frustration!

[Bisjul]

Global chat is stupid.

[otomotopia]

First of all, its Yea, not Yay.

Second of all, yes.

Third of all, make the GM/guide command more prevalent (or there if its not in already).

Except newbs do, heres the better option. Leave Global alone and give the qqers the ability to turn it off. Now everyone gets their cake and gets to eat it.

Global chat has been 99% about people thinking they're chatting with their 11 year old populated MSN messenger list, and 1% (pushing it even) about newbies with questions.

[Mishima]

global chat is the only thing about this game i dont like

This.

[FabricSoftener]

no global chat does more than just remove all the chat rage many of us do not want to see, it sets a tone for the game. The whole point of the world is that you find yourself alone and in need of finding your way to survial. Yes you need others and that is why you need to find them and when you do ask questions. You might find the people you have found dont have the tools you need, then you need to set out a journey into the world to find others.

This is by design, having no golbal chat was not a design choice because people dont like to read rages, its by design for immersion into location. Yes its true people who want to play that way could just turn off global but its not the same when everyone doesnt play basically by the same general 'tone' of the game.

This game is really for the experienced MMO player. Things like watching you tube videos, reading the player manual finding a tribe willing to help is pretty much 'MMO for Dummies, chapter 1' and to be frank if that is something you find to hard then its likely other games in the market are designed more for you.

I hate global chat. I hate it like I hate canned spinach on wasa bread.

This is/was a huge factor for me when buying the game. I absolutely love the concept of no global chat, primarily for the reasons you just listed. There's so much more to it than us just shutting it off if we don't like it. The ambiance of the game depends on it not existing. It should not be available to anybody.

[tedrick]

Shut off global chat or allow us to shut it off.

Or make it take stamina to shout something at the very least.

The global think web is a killer. If you want to be able to poll all players in game build a system for doing that (like a window that pops up) and polls we players. Don't use global chat as indicator for what people want. It is anecdotal at best.

[Jasdemi]

Bumpitybump.

There's nothing good in the GC.

[bruisie159]

Bringing this back as the devs have now introduced this message on the log in screen - Global chat will be removed OR REDUCED on the 1st March. Maybe its just to keep within the tradition of vagueness around announcements :)

[Viper66]

Being able to toggle on or off any chat seems to be the answer for anyone atm, after reading all posts..If the Devs want to make some sort of announcement like other games its large yellow on your screen ,, like "STANDBY WE ARE BRINGING DOWN THE SERVERS FOR LUNCH!" ....

[furanku]

man I feel bad for Global Chat.. so much hate.

[fflhktsn]

People dont want a compromise here. They want no global, so even the ones who do benefit from it cant enjoy it.

Everything i have learned in this game i have learned from global. Going to really suck to be a noob after launch...especially since they wont know which starter zones are populated and which ones are dead..

Funny i see a LOT of names on this thread that HATE global, in global chat in game...wouldnt you think they would ignore global and use the gneral chat? Perhaps some people want to prevent new players from learning the ropes quickly? A way to stay on top or something?

Also, as bad as any global chat can be at times, it makes the game look very lively and full of active players...not so much in gerneal chat, especially in some of the less populated starter zones....would definatly give some wrong impressions to any new player.

Make it optional...i dont get why people cant compromise with this....and if its "game immersion and realism" that are the excuse to prevent all from using it...then lets get rid of tribal chat and whispers while were at it...since both are just as unrealistic. Yeah didnt think so...

Also the poll has no option for keeping global, both votes is a vote for no global...what i would expect from a poll on this forum.

[Virtus]

Global will not be removed until launch. During that time people will be able to enter and get help. At some point jooky will be removing those spawn points (not sure when) and replacing them with ones near tribal locations. This will mean that as soon as someone logs in there will be people in the are a to help them.

On top of that there will be the guides who can walk them through as well as the manual and forums.

Global chat will be spammed with guild recruitment and WTS/WTB's, get rid of it. It was stated by Jordi already, months ago, that it would be gone on release day, Im thinking it was merely an oversight, as to why it is still there.

I hope we dont get another changing of minds from the devs depending on whats been said on the forums in any particular day drives me mad at times. Just make a decision and stick to it. Get rid of global, /s is more than enough it already covers what 9 zoneS? the one you're in and surrounding? imo that needs to be reduced greatly too i dont want to have a conversation with a group of people broadcast to 100's of players 2km away

[Vandali]

The removal of global chat should become a holiday like Guy Fawkes, or any holiday that involves burning of an effigy. It's the most horrid thing about this game and i'll be chuffed to bits when i don't have to listen to the children that inhabit it, yes you know who you are!

yeah the communication system is the main thing i dont like about xsyon it hasnt had any thought puty into it yet. Hopefully that will change tho over then next few months but global really needs to completly go. If you need help use /help or ask someone near to you. To those that say some zones will not be populated - thats a load of crap the game will be plently populated to make even /s in its current state full of spam.

We need a real /say channel with a 25 metre radius. We need /tribe and maybe /group and we need system messages for the devs to communicate essential info and thats it.

agree

[ifireallymust]

agree

Agree as well. I usually don't mind global chat in games, but the past couple days, Xsyon global has been pretty trolly. Probably all the testing, crashes, lag, and not knowing when the final wipe will be.

[fflhktsn]

good news everyone, look for global chat...comming to a general chat near you.

i have LOTS of interesting and awesome stories save up just for after the removal of global!

[Eremon]

Fortunately we have a wonderful little "/ignore" function so that we can abstain from hearing your "awesome" little stories.

[mindtrigger]

Even the positive attributes of Global take away from the game. If the idea is to make you feel somewhat lost and alone with no help, global chat reduces that feeling by giving you people to ask for help.

[Zarin]

Yes, Global Chat should be removed, big immersion breaker.

And general should be local - it's too large of a radius that you can speak with people. We should promote talking to people nearby.

global-none(if it is really nessassry should only be 500-1000m
local- should be 200-300m
whisper- should be 1-10m

[Morgan]

let's get rid of global chat. Let's reduce local chat so you can actually see the people chatting.


thank you.

[Zarin]

Yeah forgot whisper, that doesn't help either.

Maybe their just waiting for the server & game to stabilize. Hopefully after launch they will do this.

[Franconian]

I believe global is still (temp) during testing .

[NexAnima]

Yeah forgot whisper, that doesn't help either.

I just had a thought to add to my whisper range. Make it an actual public chat, so if anyone is within range of say 1-5m they would hear what your saying. Then we won't have this telepathy we have now and it would make some conversations more interesting lol.

i can see no one ever told u a secret while u were in school lol

[NexAnima]

In school, while you were in phys ed your buddy wasn't whispering to you while he was home sick.

[Jadzia]

If we want chat to be based on reality the first thing they should remove is tribe chat.

[ifireallymust]

If we want chat to be based on reality the first thing they should remove is tribe chat.

Or just say the first magic in the game is mild psychic powers between tribe members and anyone on a friends' list and cut off whispers to everyone else not a few feet from you. Then kill global, make a shout cover a certain diamemter, make /say cover a certain area.

I'm pretty antisocial, so I really wouldn't care either way. Nor am I a slave to realism, the fact that tribe members can mysteriously whisper each other across the map doesn't require explanation for me to play the game. I'm so much more worried at this point about my neighbor being on my toes due to overcrowding than I am about realism.

[Zarin]

If we want chat to be based on reality the first thing they should remove is tribe chat.

Yeah a lot of the channels should probably be re thought. But I think it would make the game much more interesting if tribes are talking in a local radius, not knowing if someone may be snooping or just come walking in.

I think it would be a shame to walk into an active and developed empire/tribe with many players and not see any discussions going on as they're in their own private channel.

Most chatter will be on voice comms, the days of text have all but vanished.

[bOOmerDK]

I like the idea of a realistic game. Global chat should be gone, and only a 25 m chat zone allowed.

If you want to get in contact with a Tribe that is offline, it would be nice to leave a message on their Totem.

Tribe chat is ok.

And maybe a SHOUT chat up to 100 m away?....

[Risk]

Fuck realism.....reds just a pain in the arse...hard enough chatin in local without seeing some dumb fuck on red...who yes I help...<Bartender....i help idiots who dont read 101s....a love hate really...

[Jasdemi]

March, 10th. Global Chat is still in.
USELESS BULLSHIT! It's only used for trolling and crying.

[randomt]

Global chat removes the feeling of remoteness.. everyone knows everyone and can talk to everyone across the world.. so traveling somewhere is not much of an adventure as far as the social aspect goes

[Haunt]

The vote was overwhelming, I don't know HOW they can keep it in the game.

[Burnt]

I'm guessing it will be removed on the 15th. If it doesn't It might be the only thing in the game that would make me rage enough to flame the forums :P

[Zarin]

I'm guessing it will be removed on the 15th. If it doesn't It might be the only thing in the game that would make me rage enough to flame the forums :P

Probably will soon based on the response from the community.

The one benefit I can think of is that we can discuss performance and server lag during these next few days.

[Zsolo]

With you on that one

[Wari]

The soon it's gone the better.

[JesusTheAstronaut]

We HAVE to remove global chat. No global chat is what sets Xsyon apart from other games. If you have to have a help channel, fine, but limit it to those players that are not in a tribe, or have an account less than 14 days old.

[Saorlan]

GTFO Global Chat - I am turning into a troll due to it.

[Zarin]

Yay Global Chat is gone! Good job ya'll!
