Title: Private messages
Post by: Banshee7 on March 15, 2009, 03:28:07 PM
AS it is right now, for a player to PM across arenas they have to use ".p gameID message."  If in the same arena you could simply use ".r message."  This eliminates any issues with the misspelling of names.  I wish there was a way or another command to do the same for cross arena private messages (i.e.   ".r message" also work across arenas).

Yes, we can do this if you are PMing a guy in the same arena. Example:  Player A PMs Player B.  For Player B to reply he can 1.) tune one of his radio channels to player A 2.) use the .p Player A command 3.) use .r message.

BUT, the only way to PM across arenas Player A and Player B both have to use the .p gameID command.

Hmm sounds like a chat room they wanna set up... but in retrospect if we did do this there are more oppritunities to {cough cough} cheat..

Well, Fugitive, since you asked, the guy I was PMing was actually talking about AH.  If I wanted a chat room I would go to one.  But this guy PMed me from a different arena telling me some information on a skin.  My request is simple, and it doesn't need remarks like yours.  If you feel that PMing someone is "setting up a chatroom" then so be it.  But then lies the hypocrisy.

It might come in handy too if we could add some 'default' cell numbers so we could PM the wife for a beer from the kitchen or order pizza delivery.  :aok

How about this. How it's setup now you can type someones name in a text box to set that person to a radio channel for example '/.radio 1 banshee7'. Why not enable it so you just type the .p in the box before there name when they are in different arenas like so '/.radio 1 .p banshee7'?


Banshee and I were talking about a skin I was doing for him the other day while he was in a LW arena and I was in the AvA. It really got annoying having to type /.p banshee7 before each line of text not only that but because you have to type that command it takes up about 1/4 of the message right there.

/.radio x y doesn't work across arenas?

Having a tuff week banshee? Jeezzzz it was a frigging joke! Grow up ! oh and how tuff is it to switch arenas? I guess a click or two of a button is far more trouble than adding .p xxxx before each line a text. Taking 5 minutes out of flying wouldn't have bother me to help a guy who was doing ME a favor.

There was no need to switch arenas. We are just asking to make it easier to have a conversation over two arenas.
