WTG HTC.

I really hate to hear some people complain and insult players in that channel.
That's one of reasons why I left Aces High.

personally, i squelch ch 1 every time i log in because of the huge amount of trash talk that comes across. I will never miss it. I can still tune a channel to give someone the occasion nice fight kudos.

Mitsu,

Sorry to know that you left AH because of that.

However, insults and other banter will now just move to country channels from the folks that do it....Right? Perhaps...

And I agree wholeheartedly the sewage that comes across the OPEN channel is pathetic at times. I tune it out.

By the way I lived in Japan for 4 years....Okinawa....

Sayonara!:)

I for one am glad to see it OFF!! I always squelch it anyway. What garbage!

If HTC reinstates it I hope you have to select it Like: /.open 1 {Enter} I hate being assulted by channel 1 before I even get in the game.

My $0.02

It took the life outa it. It's bland now.

omg I've never seen so many whinners about Ch1 and how it infects their lives and their minds.

just squelch it. Bingo! Problem solved.

If you can't take the few moments where you are seeing Ch1 then you have real problems.

Take off the panties and buck up!

Good gawd.

Furious is spot on. Its just bland. Its like eating oatmeal with nothing to add some flavor.

I think you (at HTC) have lost your minds if you keep ch1 off.

Its your nickle - go for it - but I think it will cost you business.
If I want to play something that doesn't talk back, Ill play Diablo.
Back to AH1

(seriously - you all are refraining from booze until after 3 pm right? Taking off channel one seems a rash, emotional, wet brained decision). Such goofiness is unbecomming.

>>I don't operate by polls guttboy.<<

I think the bottom line counts as a poll.

People play online games to interact with other people. Fight, compliment, brag, lie, argue - TALK. Thats online gaming. Obviously, you disagree with this science. But I DEFY you to find an objective game designer that thinks hindering player interaction is a good thing. Just find ONE (aside from yourself) who would agree with that.

In best Bevis voice: "Ee e eetch .. called .. H T ..... ... .... wet .. brained ...... hhuhh ... uhhhuuhuh .... uhuhu huhuh End Bevis voice

In all seriousness I can't see any difference in tuning ch1 or ch200 or squelching and/or detuning ch1 or ch200 ???

TweetyBird · « **Reply #71 on:** May 29, 2004, 03:58:04 AM »

Well I hope HTC takes it in the vein its given (i.e., I feel strongly against it). Other than being outright obnoxious, I think its ok for remarks to be pointed. Then again I might be toast

But honestly, I didn't mean it to be vicious or mean - just pointed (like "what were you thinking?"). Maybe I should edit that eh? lol
Oh well.

And, if some have been using the beta to spew profanity, I can certainly understand why ch1 would be temporarily turned off. But I see no good reason to keep it off. I'm trying to think of one online game that doesn't have a global channel and I can't. Thats part of the fun of online gaming.

Even wordwomp has a global channel

How about some middle ground here.
Let channel 1 come back, but let it work like the 100-299 range channels:

It would still be following the "forced to select, not deselct" since if you haven't tuned into it, you don't hear it, but it would be an intuitive choice and best of all, in different color.

If channel 200 is to be the norm and I want to follow it, I'll have 2 yellow text channels.
Something that will be quite an annoyance to me.
