Appie Posted September 28, 2009 Report Posted September 28, 2009 I am new here, so maybe this has already been suggested. I did a quick browse and didn't find anything so I thought I'd suggest anyway. The most annoying thing I've come across since joining the server is the chat rooms in FCity. Whenever I do @go 25 I'm warped into the sea of chat rooms. Whenever I die and respawn it's same thing. These chat rooms block NPC's and they make it hard to move around without accidentally clicking on them. And if I do click on them well, I get a bunch of pm's from someone thinking I'm interested in whatever it is they want to buy or sell. My suggestion is to move all chat rooms away from NPC's and off the street. Give them a designated area that's not blocking npc's or is anywhere near the respawn point. Even putting them here would be fine since they'd be out of the way: Well, thanks in advance for your time and consideration.
Wish Posted September 28, 2009 Report Posted September 28, 2009 I think that putting the chats there would then block people going to the decarder and refiner. Also, players generally put up chats wherever they feel like. Our rule is that they must be at least 3 cells away from an NPC. Sometimes, they still block the NPCs, but a GM will move them. I know that the chats may be inconvenient, but players use the center of Forsaken City to attract more people to trade, buy, or sell items to. Most of the NPCs around that area are non-essential. For example, the job changing and stat resetting NPCs are always clear of chats.
Devotion Posted September 28, 2009 Report Posted September 28, 2009 I toyed with the idea of having everyone with chats go open them on the bridge between fcity and for_fild01. But don't get me wrong, there will be a more permanent solution eventually. For a temporary solution I'll have to talk with Shield.
Appie Posted September 28, 2009 Author Report Posted September 28, 2009 (edited) Here's a better SS of what I mean by designating chats in the area I posted above. http://img246.imageshack.us/img246/9151/chatarea.png If chats are lined up neatly on either side of this area (blacksmith side & decarder side) in the area that I've posted then there's still a clear path to both shops. There's also a small area at the other side of the stairs that may or may not be good for chats. The rooms themselves would be accessible but it's not an area where you can move around as freely. Putting up post signs to assist where chats should line up would help to keep the areas nice and organized and people who are actually interested in buying/selling/trading can browse with ease. My suggestion is not just about the inconvenience, I also find the main city should be attractive to new players and at the moment it's not. I want to be able to sit in the middle of the street, chat with friends and hang out but right now there isn't much room to do that. Edited September 28, 2009 by Ette
Kusanagi Posted September 29, 2009 Report Posted September 29, 2009 I agree with this but you know you are dealing with a bunch of Cavern Age people right? You just cant control most of them. Perhaps the friendly newbie comunity will obey but there will always be people who just want to bother and wont obeythe rules.
Wish Posted September 29, 2009 Report Posted September 29, 2009 We do have merchant mall. If we could direct players to a different map altogether, the problem might be a little more easy to solve.
tyrantlu Posted September 29, 2009 Report Posted September 29, 2009 well the only reason everyone has chats up now is because its the center of the the game (kinda) its where everyone afks everyone hangs out its not going to do them any good to set up chats away from their customers lol. It will be a lot cleaner to walk if you make everyone move but when you do that an even worse problem will happen. SPAMING :weird: now there is only a few people that spam in town but if you take out the shops everyone will start. Maby a way to uncrown the people with chats you were talking about a merchant mall maby if you can vend for donation coupons? insted of zeny? maby only on that map the merchant mall you can have venders selling the more expensive items for the donation coupons because with a cap of 1bil zeny your limited on what you can vend.
Devotion Posted September 30, 2009 Report Posted September 30, 2009 GM's are now discussion disabling chats in fcity completely and opening a designated map for it.
Pandemonium Posted October 15, 2009 Report Posted October 15, 2009 GM's are now discussion disabling chats in fcity completely and opening a designated map for it. I'm all for that.
Apo Posted October 15, 2009 Report Posted October 15, 2009 I've been playing here for over a year and never been affect by them, I even shop for supplies often, I don't why now it has to be change because 1 or 2 players seems to be affected somehow by some chat window in the middle of the main town.
tyrantlu Posted October 15, 2009 Report Posted October 15, 2009 my only concern is when you do that people wont be there in that new map with chats, they will just spam in town over and over and over again lol i agree with apo i use them to buy items or sell to people, maby limit them to the lower half of the map? like below the event npcs? so its not to far?
Devotion Posted October 16, 2009 Report Posted October 16, 2009 Or maybe people can open their chats elsewhere? If we made a designated spot for chats players could go there to shop. And it's not just two people complaining, it's more like dozens :/
Apo Posted October 16, 2009 Report Posted October 16, 2009 We just need to clean retarted chats like ILY CHRISSIE ^_^ or SHOWERING, i mean, who cares?
Cirrus Posted October 16, 2009 Report Posted October 16, 2009 Lol. Never been bothered either. But somehow it's practical for both the vendor and shoppers 'cause it is, in fact, the main town. Plus chats are meant for communication between players and such. It's either just move the essential NPCs out of the middle so the chats would not block them. If those were gone... fcity would just look kinda dead. And those spammers going: *~iRaNd0mNaB186~* : B> CHAMP SET PM NOW I NEED NOW PLZZ *~iRaNd0mNaB186~* : B> CHAMP SET PM NOW I NEED NOW PLZZ *~iRaNd0mNaB186~* : B> CHAMP SET PM NOW I NEED NOW PLZZ *~iRaNd0mNaB186~* : B> CHAMP SET PM NOW I NEED NOW PLZZ ...would be more & more annoying. :( ...but yeah. What can we do if you guys do change it. ;) Eh? Lol.
bossapoy1 Posted October 16, 2009 Report Posted October 16, 2009 the best solution on that matter is to save on the other city you may use @warp or @go so you will never had a problem again.... pick a town of your choice and it is yours

Pandemonium Posted October 16, 2009 Report Posted October 16, 2009 People still spam anyway. Sure, maybe less so. But there are ways around it. I'm pretty sure theres ways to silence people, or you just move away from where theyre spamming, or you simply turn off public chat in the battle tab and talk to your guildies or people in your party.

Pandemonium Posted October 16, 2009 Report Posted October 16, 2009 I don't care if they're in the same town. Just get em off the main walkway. Designate the left or right side for chats.
tyrantlu Posted October 16, 2009 Report Posted October 16, 2009 We just need to clean retarted chats like ILY CHRISSIE ^_^ or SHOWERING, i mean, who cares? maby we can try that befor baning all of them
Nucleus Posted October 21, 2009 Report Posted October 21, 2009 Isn't that what we have a BROADCASTER for?
Penguin545 Posted October 22, 2009 Report Posted October 22, 2009 Why don't you all quit complaining >.> The chats don't need a new designated spot, it should just be the same. Dozens of people? I only see 3 posting here that want it.
Devotion Posted October 22, 2009 Report Posted October 22, 2009 And as I've mentioned in at least two other suggestions, the majority of players do not come to the forums, and so the majority of voices aren't heard here. So as GM's we have to think about that; and we get many complaints and concerns about chats in fcity in game.
Penguin545 Posted October 22, 2009 Report Posted October 22, 2009 THen they should just deal with it -_- EI GM DER CHAT IN GAME IT BLOK ME CUS I NUB PLS REMOVEQQ
