Title: Idea for /tell or Whisper
Post by: Vakachehk on March 21, 2010, 03:56:35 am
Well this is idea 1

you have 3 whispers or /tell and when you click on 'whisper' on your Communications box it comes up with 1, 2 and 3 next to it. so e.g Vakachehk /tell Talad hello. that will pop up in Talads whisper box 1 and then if Laanx /tell Talad: I hate you. it comes up in box 2 and then 3 for an extra one.

Idea 2
you click on Whisper and next to it, comes up make, [playername], [playername].... so then if you want to make a /tell to someone you click 'make write there name and message. or e.g Vakachehk /tell Talad Hello. Talad then clicks Whisper then next to it pops up 'Vakachehk', under it 'make' he then clicks 'vakachehk (which is in red) which says: Vakachehk whispers: hello. and then if Laanx /tell Talad "I hate you." Talad then clicks Whispers seeing Vakachehk, Laanx, Make, next to it and then clicks Laanx (which will be in red) and sees Laanx whispers: I hate you.
you can use a better word than make.
'Make','vakachehk','laanx' will be set out one above another is my idea.
and yeah sorry for using I hate you to Talad.

I think that they should just get rid of the meaningless gossip channel and work on this idea!  \\o//

@Earowo: rofl, well said, many of interesting convos have gotten started by misstelling.

I have very little confusion with tells, though I do misstell from time to time. I just click on the buddy list to make sure that I /tell the correct person. I do see what Vakachehk is saying, that way if you are having mulitple tell convos it is easier to keep them organized and see the flow of the different convos. I like the tell system the way it is. 

As to gossip: it is ok, I just wish people would stop using it as a makeshift auction channel and discussing quest solutions. Asking if the quest is flawed is a reasonable topic, but again that is what the help channel is for also.

I absolutely agree. It seems to me a good way to not RP.

peoples asking for quest answers is definitly a problem but people see an opertunity for help and they take it, as long as the helpers answer in a /tells it isnt a problem

yes random convos are made by saying the wrong tell to someone but it is not professional and can easily be fixed with more ideas.

as to Gossip I think that its a stupid name for a channel. Also Help could not be the way it is, it could be 'like' gossip but it is ok and no need to muddle things up and make bugs.
