Dualstar Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 (edited) I would prefer a function that lets us type in the name of the player we are trying to find, similar to typing in the names of mods.

Apps1995 Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 After 1271 hours I have never used itwhatever its function is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkRuler2500 Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Eh, wow. Didn't knew this feature even was inside. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)tpesconi Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 It's easy to say "no" when you have a mouse, console players use this option ALL THE TIME, please, don't remove. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kai_Shiba Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 For PC players, this really isn't an issue. But I can see that removing this option for Console users won't benefit them at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoeleVeerod Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Never knew there was one, so no. I wouldn't miss it.Not sure if I voted right in the poll though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)alonenova1 Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 its necessary for consoles because you can not click on names like PC does. Consoles would not need it if you could select peoples names in chat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geraion Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 It seems superfluous to have in the first place... If people want to see specific people online, they can add them to their freidns list... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chroia Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 (edited) I know that it exists. I know what it does. I generally just grab the scroll and roll down manually anyway. Edited January 18, 2016 by Chroia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)Sybaris- Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 As long as a replacement for it comes into place, recruiting and trading is so much easier with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Kitsune Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 I've used it quite a bit actually, quite handy for quickly being able to find someone in chat. I'd miss it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geraion Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 It's easy to say "no" when you have a mouse, console players use this option ALL THE TIME, please, don't remove. Or they could remove it and enable selecting names on consoles :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
traficonserv Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 i only used it once. but that one time was an important case for me. so i was chatting to a guy for a trade, but i got disconnected. and i barely remember his name. so i used that feature, and i can easily find his name to continue our chat. i choose no on the poll, but in my case maybe it can use other option like chat history or something.

rechot Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 i use it often to find people in alliance chat in big clans and such Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WolfTitan Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 A better alternative would be a search bar. Players could type a portion of a name to limit the list by matching to find the person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhundis Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Seeing as I've never known of its existence I'm OK with it being removed. Seriously, I had no idea it was there till this post and Im all like, "that's a thing?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)IIIDevoidIII Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 There is no way I could find users in the list faster than this. I would miss it definitely. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scala Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 It's useful for big clans and trading before you were able to chick on the names in the chat box. As of now it's only useful for big clans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaysus41 Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 I think we could make a better decision if we were shown what the redesign looks like. I don't think we would miss it if the redesign made that function objectively better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)immanks102 Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Will it stay for consoles? It was hard to search through the player list before it was added. If there's a feature that makes it easier to find players on consoles then by all means, remove it, if not I'd rather it stayed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think we would miss it if the redesign made that function objectively better. True. Really, right now, it feels like, "Would you mind if we took away the best thing most console users use when navigating these menus?" At least, it feels this way. It's incredibly useful, but, if the redesign would make it obsolete, then I wouldn't miss it. If it's just gone entirely, well, :c Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonymousArmadillo Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 I think it's a good idea to separate the PC votes and the console votes in this topic. I play on PC myself but I can see this being extremely useful on consoles. I'm sure DE won't decide based on votes alone but it wouldn't hurt to check both parties.
