we really, really need these! Have been trying to think of alternatives; the only other option is voice comms but seeing as we are an international server, and from personal experience more than half the people i play with dont have english as their first language it's not a very practicle solution.

pretty please can we have attacker/defender chat asap?

what about having them in [url]klients[/url] ?

We used to make rooms back in fbt for each team, you just have to know who is who to make sure you dont get spies but isnt that half the fun ;)

to make a room i think you do

/join roomname

and to join a ready made room you type

/join roomname username

so for example if i wanted to make a room called karavanown id type

/join karavanown

in the main room and for people to join they'd need to type

/join karavanown mostevil

you'd just need to ask in the main room who has the room open you could make the room names secreat and pass them between each factions guild websites or in game forums.

it can get messy if they make it like you want ;-)
you forget to specify that that chat channel should be different for outposts and not global attack/defend channel... you never know lol, gotta be accurate what you wish for ;-)

Using klients really isn't an option. Everyone would have to be in window mode for it to be easy. Plus you'd have to be constantly switching from window to window. Not an option in a outpost battle.

They already have the facility to do what Rushin is suggesting. Like the Kami and Karavan chat channels, you jsut created a defend and attack chat channel. Easy as that.

And yes I do think we need these very badly. It is VERY hard to communicate with your side if you have to rely on tells and team cats. Its very complicated and can be very messy. One channel would clear up the mess and make organisation of attacks and defense a million times easier on those involved.

clarity as suggested:

attack and defend channels for individual op's, not global. Seeing as you can only be active in one op at a time, and with a 10min cooldown should be ok. Global attack/defend would be chaos, i presumed that was obvious
