Region channel PvP
Posted: Thu Jul 20, 2006 5:02 pm
There have been many pleas to the devs to set up Attacker and Defender chat channels for outpost battles. I really don't want to see more channels because I hate it when I try to talk to someone in front of me - even looking at me - and they don't hear because they're focussing on a separate chat channel. But I digress 
After hearing how abusive or offensive chatter on the Region channel is even making people leave a battle, however, I have a suggestion that might be easier to code than a couple of brand new channels and might also help to curb the abuse:
Tie the PvP flag into the Region channel so that anyone flagged up automatically ignores chat from the opposition.
I turn off the Region channel at these things anyway, and I'm sure many other people do so too. Maybe this could apply to FvF as well as outpost battles, I don't know, but that would help stop abusive or offensive taunting in Yrkanis and elsewhere as well. This wouldn't stop anyone from wanting to play their role and taunt the opposition, they'd just have to get within earshot to do so
Which brings to mind another suggestion:
Add a macro to "Target last entity heard in Around".
This would be very useful in events too, when you want to address yourself to the last speaker who has a tongue twister of a name that takes ages to type and then you get it wrong anyway (Xipetotecprime springs to mind
) "Entity not found, have a nice day "
*Off to write a ticket*
