I hereby volunteer myself as one of the almighty world chat moderators.

 

You will all respect my authority, or I will ban your face from existence!!!

 

Exterminate!

I would like to suggest two things.

1) keyboard shortcut to decompose and/or destroy an item from the map

2) a history of what guilds a player was member of and how many days/weeks/months the membership took place

[Mister Doom]

Hoof stated before that there's to be an auto fragment function that will work the same as auto discard. A fragmenter button on the world page isn't really needed if such a feature exists?

Somewhat reserved "kudos" on the global chat.  It's been something I have often wished for, but I hope that it's been thought through enough that it doesn't turn into a spam-fest.  Time will tell.

 

I still want the map-specific chat that was featured in SS2.  One of the few features I really liked from that game, and I've been sorry not to see it replicated.

maybe remove bountys from pvp ladder too?

MAYBE? Please do! Or allow me to stomp ladder bounty posters without stam usage lol. becoming a daily/weekly ordeal of late lol.

[allkill12]

SO HOOF, are you planning on turning  fallensword into like SS2.....as SS2 does have a world chat and with all these new updates fallensword will be just like SS2 .....as it as the same similar stuff .....

[paingwin]

nothing for arena? hehe

yeah the token thread that you, and I(sort of) worked on should be in here somewhere lol.

[mizare]

I would love to see custom shortcuts. Make changing it available for players

What about it?

[Marcus219]

Just an idea. How about have people there own "regligion". i mean, each charachter can build a (or) more temples off there own. Buidling this tempel will cost gold/fsps, you have to pray at this temple, so you have to upkeep it and you can upgrade it till a certain level, with all the costs.

 

f. e. you can build the tempel of Mars, this will give the player a benefit x% attack and x% damage, or the tempel of mercurius, gives the benefit of x% thievery and x% merchant, tempel of Venus, gives x% health and x% holy flame etc etc. each person can custumize his charachter a little bit and gat a bonus and we have an other gold sink. You can even create a new guild with all the players from the same tempel and have seperate global quest with them. It is jus a thought!

 

you also can give people a class to choose from. Like a thief, get more gold, wizzard, better in poisons, smith, better in crafting. people can get a small bonus, join the guild that there class belongs to, do special quests, and ofcourse it will cost gold to upkeep your class.

 

Second, the "praying to the gods" needs a review as well. Playing this game several years now, never won something, while others have won 8, 9 or 10 times. Perhaps a cooldown as well for those who has won, or "just" create something new. 

 

keep up the great work HCS!

Will the chat be able to be shut off via preferences? I've never liked global chat

Idea is cool but not the way u said in my opinion. We have Gods in game so it should be used.  Building temples is cool too but not for single man. Example: people who "belive" in Sahria can gather to build one temple in some area

 

Its my opinion

We've just updated the Development Roadmap. Composing is taking longer than expected as we want it to be awesome when it goes live so we've pushed it back till next week (28th Aug). However an update we've been working on in the background is almost ready to go live.

 

We've been working on a new world chat system which will allow everyone to chat across the game both on a new 'chat' page and via an overlay on the world map (note that you'll be able to turn this off in your preferences). We feel this is a very important update for the game as it will help improve communication and also will be a great way for new players to engage with the community and learn about the game. We're aiming to put the new chat live on the 22nd Aug.

 

 

 

Reading comprehension seems to be a lost skill these days

[raist007]

Kind of confused - is the world chat system REPLACING the fsbox?  Will it cost fsp/gold to post in world chat?  Just seems rather redundant and a means for people to NOT have to pay fsp to let the community know about what they are buying/selling/etc...can you please clarify?

[Hoofmaster]

global chat would be good but can we get a rule for spamming what your selling in the ah i hate it when im playing a game chatting and 5-50 players are trying to sell you junk lets keep the fsbox for that or you could make it to where you can have multiple channels you can buy for points global for one and merchant for another you want to chat its a medem price you want to sell stuff thats a large price or use the fsbox and yes i would pay the large price

 

I think splitting it into general and trade makes sense...

 

Not sure this will make it into the initial release, but definitely something we can add later

[Hoofmaster]

The world chat idea sounds like it could be good. I just don't want to see it filled with people spamming about their auctions, super elite locations they are selling, etc. That's the reason I turned off the FSBox in the first place. Chat moderators might be a good idea.

 

Definitely going to be making it possible to add moderators to it

[Hoofmaster]

Yeah you can hide it from the World page

If appointing moderators make sure they have ticked " has sense of humour " box on their application.

 

Cheers.

Hmmm... well, this is my two cents only thought about briefly.....

 

Since it makes no sense to diminish HCS income some more by getting rid of the FSP cost to either FSBox or the Shout Box...

 

I kind of "assumed" (yeah, yeah, know what they say about that, but I'll avoid the report, lol) that the idea behind this was really a way of creating the FS Helper log option on the FS Box and bringing it into the game.

 

That sounds like a good idea to me. So... along that line of thinking...

 

I'd simply suggest that the option be merged with the FS Box (leaning towards this with the hour expiration... after all a Chat is supposed to be immediate... instead of the Shout Box for reasons I won't go into at present) and that the "Chat" simply make that option (ie, seeing the full FS Box) available on other pages.

 

Since the preference option is included, people could simply keep FS Box by itself (or not at all) and check the general conversation when they want (like I do with the FS Helper option), or keep the Chat hanging around...

 

I think people should still be charged the FSP per post, that the Report option could be maintained and that the idea of having mods police it is doomed to failure... But hey... I'll quit my job if the pay and hours are good ,oP

[Crofil]

i love the idea of the world chat system keep up the awesome work HCS

[Pardoux]

How would the moderation work ? 

 

Will there be a 24/7 mod presence ?

and

Would mods just be able to remove posts that didn't meet the criteria ?

or

Would mods just have temp. ban facilties ? - i.e. can stop spammers posting for "x" amount of time

or

Would mods have permanent ban facilities ? - no explanation necessary

 

Also, hopefully there'll be a level criteria to using it, or watch out for a plethora of multies springing up with the specific aim of spamming the box with porn, junk and abuse (as happened in the SS2 chat)

 

There should be some cost to using the chat option or it will get spammed, regardless of moderation, 'cos folk will push their "luck" to the limit. And, if the level limit isn't implemented, the multies won't care that their clones got banned - the message will still have been posted and seen (before being removed)

 

If the cost is to be gold or fsp, then it should be scaled according to level but I seem to recall that the cost in SS2 was energy ? - so, maybe taking 5 stam / post or 10 stam / post would work. 

 

Might make people be a little bit more careful about posting rubbish at least ?
