New Item: Perfect Horn UPDATE

You just gave ppl "Gm Chat" ? And now you say that ppl will "probably" down with the perfect horn when everyone get a chance to use? When I'm doing tt, fbs or whenever I don't feel in the mood to answer or waste my time passing down the chat I do block the kind of chat from my window, 99% of my time I use general chat blocked because I don't want 1000000 msgs of ppl "let me join your pt, we're doing the same quest" and now I have to watch and lose my track with that blood damned p.horn? World chat already is a pain in the ****, ppl chatting "congratulations, my granny got lvl 100 today!".

Can you people please keep posting horn messages that make you angry? It's very amusing to me!!! b:laughb:chuckleb:pleasedb:thanks

Even if the hype will go down, I don't want to see messages in my faction / squad chat that isn't from my faction / squad. Even if it was only ONE message / WEEK, I DO NOT want to read messages that do not belong there AT ALL! Why am I forced to read these messages?! No no no no no and no! There will be ALWAYS players who buy horns just to annoy the hell out of people. 99% of these messages are spam. I would maybe understand if they tried to sell an in-game item or look for a squad, but I see stuff like this: "YAY A NEW WAY TO WASTE MONEY!" "LALALALALALALA" "YOU ARE ALL NOOBZ LOLZ" and so on. Seriously, put it in common chat, I don't care. Horns should be a good way to "highlight" messages and get more attention besides world chat. But don't force me to read it while I try to talk to my friends. I can't even see what they write! PLEASE. Pretty please. I beg of you. Thank you very much for reading and understanding.

ok here from my original thread in suggestions ...

Allow this to be filtered off... World Chat can be annoying as it is the last thing I want is spam I can't filter off >.>

why move the topic to lower depths from "Suggestions" makes no sense but obviously plenty feel it's a good suggestion. All in all it's a useless addition in my opinion and if their going to be able to speak without a toggle up the price to atleast a gold or something so it's not as affordable for the constant spam of buy / sell / fac recruit etc thats going to be heavily abused with it. Other option is on / off or just modify normal worldchat as it is to have the colors and smilies and just keep horns price.

make it have a 1 hour cooldown...or something.

Anyone can be the leader of a faction for 100k. Anyone can make an infinite number of alts who are the leaders of factions. Good idea in theory, but in practice, no.



It's ironic, isn't it? We can't filter Perfect Horn messages, but the moderators are merging threads, moving threads, etc. all in the name of keeping the forums clean and eliminating spam.

you missed my edit. I realised what I had said was rather bad in hindsight.

One word: NO. Unless PW wants to lose half of their playerbase. Me, my sister and the active players in my faction are already planning to leave the game and try a new one where we can talk to each other without having to read spam. We love this game, we spent real money on this game, but this is just unbearable. US people are not online yet, but when they get on, little kids with mommy's credit card gonna buy hundreds of horns and we won't be able to read anything but spam. Stop it before it's too late. It's so obvious that grown-up, mature players hate this cr@p and this will make valuable players quit this game and nothing will remain only spam. The game will be renamed to PERFECT SPAM. Because these messages are all SPAM. Nothing useful. Let us turn it off or put it in normal chat like WC. Thanks!

On a personal note:
frankie, it's not the content of the messages that gets me. It's the fact that they show up in SQUAD, FACTION, and WHISPER.
These are private channels, reserved for the various groups of people I choose to associate with. If I want to read what the general public has to say, that's what common chat and the World Chat channel are for.

100% agree

And for those people saying " filtering will remove the point of them " no it will not. They will still be used by those seeking attention in WC.

Its a big fail by PWI to FORCE others to read other people spam, bad language and immature jokes.
The GM's dont seem to monitor or enforce WC language so why should everyone else who chooses to escape it be forced to listen to it.

Edit: Thread finally been unhidden

To: Any PWI staff taking care of this situation,

I am going to be nice and frank on this post and hope you'll at least take a few moments to step into my shoes...

At first, I thought all these horns would do is to add colors and a different smiley to the world chat. I thought, ok, cool... now we're able to at least have fun with teles for just a couple more silver until I saw it for myself after patch update...

I honestly don't see the need to add perfect horns besides an emergency type situation, like say in a situation here: Faction is going on some meeting, member has faction chat turned off. In this type of situation, then yeah, horns would be nice.

We already have a trade channel to post trades, world chat where people already abuse it so much that inappropriate content was being posted, so I don't see how Perfect Horns makes our gaming any more less irritable.

We already have so many chat interfaces to work our communication around the game. I myself like the silence and uninterrupted squad chat. Don't get me wrong, I do turn on world chat occasionally, but I keep it off most of the times because I don't like to read people repeat "WTS _________ pm me price" in world chat while I'm having a conversation with someone else.

Think about it, how would you like it if someone interrupts your phone calls, or maybe someone who doesn't work with PWE, walks in during your meetings and talk about other things? Not very funny at all, or is it... b:sweating No matter how small or how seldom people write using Horn Chat, it still interrupts us while we have our reasons to not be interrupted! Like everyone else had already pleaded, I'd like to have the ability to turn off this chat feature, or at least make another chat box and let people minimize it like the general box. I believe that you'll end up having a lot more happy people playing PWI by doing this favor for us!

Also, I am concerned about the use of colors. When color chatting was not a bannable offense before 4-6-2010 patch, I am already annoyed by them, making me think cyan is faction chat and to my misery I post in faction chat and end up looking stupid. Last night when I started playing, I see pink and blue chats, making me think my friends or a stranger had PMed me that I almost PMed them back! If you want to allow colors, can you please disable or remove the colors that currently exist in other chats? I would also like to point out... I've set my chat box to the darkest shade so I can read the channels more legibly. Having black colored text put up in horn chat is like having you read what I'm trying to type here. b:cry

Altogether, I hope you'd at least take my concerns into heart. I rather have something more effective to the game introduced like maybe a horn to buzz or alarm people in squads before starting a boss fight to see if everyone is present, or even use that feature to call people on their friend's list. (like the friend chat, it makes two beeps when you get a new chat session)


Thanks for reading, now may I have my shoes back? b:chuckle

-Pchan

just want to say, that for 12 months we have been able to decide on what chat we have in Faction, now asking a new member to tone it down is pointless, thanks guys - you have made the decision that we should watch all the ****? every little imature rant we have to sit through, watch it scrole through fac chat ??
GMs not aiming this at u, but please pass it back up the line, uncesored chat landing in fac isnt acceptable, never will be, needs sorting before anymore quit, personaly I will log back after next inspection, if its still there........nough saidb:bye

My current feeling about the matter is extreme annoyance. I like this game in general, but if these are still unfilterable next week, my time spent on this game will be dropping very, very quickly. It is a poor idea in general, unless it's just limited to being an extension of world chat.

in my opinion (emphasis at "MY") theyre not bad rlly, 1 every minute on sanc right now

you cant block them, but whats bad on them apart from the part that they cannot be blocked, not like (IN SANCT) theres massive amounts of spam from them, (plz correct next sentence if wrong no idea of gold prices right now) about 35-40k per message is a jump from the 10k teles just for some colors annd that makes them rare.

anyway, just voicing my opinion, dont see anything bad with a change every now and when in chat

If you have to have the horn, Get it off my non-general chats! It makes it horrible when talking in faction, and there is no escaping the spammers

Until they remove the all-chat board feature, this player is boycotting zen purchases.

thanks for making me not play today because of those stupid horns. i got spammed and couldnt even play. make it available to cancel it.. THIS IS THE MOST STUPID IDEA OF PWI TO BRING THIS HERE. And trust me its worst that anniversary packs. i cant even read message people whispered me now, too much spam ftl

so stop that thing ( and i didnt want to say thing here)
