New Item: Perfect Horn UPDATE

you know what would help? being able to contact a GM IN GAME (besides the stupid "help i'm stuck" window). If that GM button would actualy GET US a GM, we could report people nice and easy who are abusing things and/or cursing on WC/horns w/o any regards to the age of anyone else playing. Do you have any IDEA how annoying it is to send a ticket every damn time we see something? The GM button SHOULD send a automated request for a GM to pm u and ask what's wrong. And if you don't have enough GM's...... hire more. Hell u make enough money off us, As much as some things cost you prolly make like 10X the money Square Enix makes off the monthly charges for FFXI.

Telling us to send a ticket doesn't work aryannamage, considering most people dont' bother it takes so long. Take a SS... then find the SS.. then upload the SS to a site like photobucket.. then go to this site, go to the GM section, fil out a form... give me a break i'll bet half the freaking people playing this can't even do half of that (cause they dont' know how or where). We SHOULD be able to get a GM in game, tel them in pm's what's wrong, and they look in the logs THEMSELVES (since it's THEIR JOB).

YAY, go PWI- a whole new cash crop! I mean, what the hell, we've been dime-ing you to death with bright yellow chat for over a year now... but, what's this??? People can turn off the obnoxious kids who have access to mommy and daddy's platinum card?!?!?

FOUL, I CRY!

*GASP* I've got it! Let's create a chat that NO ONE can block out! And we'll give it REALLY bright obnoxious colors- that way, you can find the obnoxious color that matches your obnoxious personality! And then- here's the kicker- we sell them for more than the plain old boring teles, and make a TON of cash! Everyone will want to try it out once, sure- but then we've got that elite core of REALLY loud-mouthed people who want to make sure EVERYONE knows EXACTLY what they're saying every second of the day- we'll make a killing!


....That's an excerpt from PWI's business model on the new Horn chats.

.......Yes, I'm kidding, although to many of us, that's exactly how it seems. "Pay more, and no one can shut you out, even if they wanted to." Yes, the horn is a terrible idea. Yes, it's annoying. Do I expect the company who can't even decide on 5 FaceBook users who won months after a contest to do anything about it, especially when it makes them more money? ROFL. Good joke.

Sidenote~As for all these kids QQ'ing about bad language- get ready, my post is gonna get GM edited right here: PWI could take a page from the ArenaNet and NCSoft playbook: make it a player-side option to turn the filter on and off.

There's the /GM option in chat.... but yeah, the chat IS rather annoying at times when the more annoying people are around. Astoru, Ignoring racism isn't exactly the easiest thing to do, especially in the more extreme cases. I should know, considering I often run into two seperate forms of discrimination against me, one somewhat more harsh than the other, but still a ways annoying.

what loony decided to make horns for faction chat and squad chat? I Was helping faction member doing fb and we couldnt read instructions in squad chat for silly kids posting ****, i dont pay money to buy stuff to keep people alive only to have them die in fbs cos of morons talking rubbish.
i have had to pm several obviously young persons posting things, that i do not want my grandson, who also plays to read! he is now banned until somone sees sense and stops this madness, i am also thinking of quitting till such time as faction chat and squad chat are put back to private. everyone in my faction is up in arms about this you may well lose a lot of players just to keep these silly kids making ridiculous remarks.
imagine you are in a squad in FF or TT and all this garbage is up on screen=squad members dead!!!!

So you're trying to tell me if my kid was playing this I'd have to let him see bad language and get used to seeing it (therfore get used to using it "cause everyone else does") cause PW doesnt' have to do anything about it? Last time i checked people were banned from any game like this for offensive behavior. On HERE till now we could just ignore it by turning off WC.. but not anymore.

So you don't want your child to see foul language, but you'd allow him to see all the sexual themes and revealing clothing that is completely impossible to filter out?

Right. My point still rests: STOP USING PW AS A BABYSITTING TOOL. If you don't want you child to see it, don't let them play.

There is not a single person on this planet that isn't racist to a certain to degree.

Learn to deal with that and your life will be that much less stressful.

ok maybe you are right, this wont justify however the impossibility to shut that chat off.

there's a reason for example if in italy writing and using fascism or **** symbols is against the law.

here should be the same.

people must handle with racism, but the society system must NOT allow to these talking to be PUBLIC with no way to stop seeing them if not logghing out of the game-

thats all

So you're pro communism? Awesome.

Please, for the love of gamers, allow Perfect Horn to be filtered (as an option in the system settings).

Having to scroll up/down to read what's in the Faction/Squad/Whisper chat box is really confusing and annoying. I suppose you (devs) won't understand our frustration regarding this problem; no offense.

Lol.

You guys say people will leave the game over this. You said the same thing when Anniversary packs came around, and they had a MUCH more adverse effect on the game than a revamped teleacoustic.

Face it, you can complain all you want. But no one is really going to leave the game over it (At least, not enough to make anyone care)

Ya seeing a skimpy veno is really going to affect a kid...... honestly... you're an idiot. Just stop talking. b:bye ANY OTHER GAME people are banned for abusive/offensive language. THIS one u can barely get someone banned who hacks your freaking faction leader's account (AFTER a screenie was sent in of the guy prancing around arch bragging he did it). Let alone do anything about offensive language..... and now they give them a way to not be blocked on any chat channel???? what the hell?

Im not sure if this has been suggested (lots of replies) I think the new chat is spammy and silly since everything I have seen on it has been nothing interesting just annoying spam, but perhaps a really long cooldown (12-24 hours) and a much higher price might make it tolerable. One game I saw have spammy chats like that cost over 2 USD. b:bye

whoops. sorry. Ironically, I've played a game where the world chat was free o_O What is weirder is the fact that the game had a world chat that was rather tame compared to the chaos I've seen on this game.

this is easily explained with psychology: the horns let ppl gain a new "freedom spot" they never got used to.

in a place where this same freedom spot was always implemented, there is no more the feeling of "surprise" and "joy" every damn kid with no brain is having now in PWI.

its just like the legalization of marjuana in netherlands: there, in netherland, ppl got used of it, and smoking joints in cof shops is no more unusual than drinking a beer in a pub. but what if they ever legalize marjuana for example in italy (where i am)? thousand of totally gone ppl walking on the roads for months and years! xD

Something tells me the devs are out to try and kill this game off as soon as possible, if you look at the things they've come up with that's gotten people mad. Either that or they're testing us to see how angry we get.
