Axianamus Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Did a search about this, but I don't see anything so excuse me if this was brought up. In the main menu there needs to be a public or lobby chat of some sort. It's frustrating as all hell having no idea what planets players are on, where they are, and not having the ability to really form squads in-game. Also one small issue I have with the UI which I did see elsewhere. Backing out of menu's can be annoying sometimes with an x in some spots, and a back button in others, and unless im wrong, I can't just his ESC to back out of the menu im looking at.

thehippyelite Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 If you hover over planets and wait for the text to appear, it shows the number of active squads. It's always 0 for me though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STARSBarry Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 I gotta admit this is a good idea, it does wonders for World of Tanks, however it does mean that the chat would require moderators which cost money to employ, however I think the Benefit to the community would override the cost, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taiiat Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 a public chat sounds terrible, unless i can turn it off or something. i don't want to read public chats (Blacklight: Retribution for example) because of all the people constantly spamming or talking about completely pointless things. also remember that a public chat will bury what you say in a second or two most of the time with how many people will probably be using it at the same time.

PaleMinerva Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Every public chat I've ever had the displeasure of viewing has been a festering pool of idiocy and filth. Also, it really doesn't fit the atmosphere of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LemonKing Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Public chat would be best on a per system basis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeverDT Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 There is an unofficial community IRC channel, you can read more about it here: https://forums.warframe.com/index.php?/topic/1224-unofficial-irc/ Dev post from that thread: Right now priority is on crashes, match-making, contacts and scaling. No promises, but plans are to have a unified, in-game solution, that evolves into the most bad-&#! place to hang out in Warframe. It's not officially endorsed or anything and it doesn't see a ton of use (yet), but it's there for people to use as they see fit until such time as DE creates a system to replace it. I and others will continue to support and use it until that time comes (and even after, if it's gained that much traction by then). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
