Title: Spam Game Messaging
Post by: timeisnotlinear on February 14, 2020, 09:07:56 PM
Do I really need to know about every kill that happens? Pretty much renders the in game chat feature useless.

.... and by adding the new tab for system messages it makes it easy to flip that window open and check then instead of scrolling through messages in the main page to find anything.

Just as Semp and Fugitive hace stated.I would add that people will be able to gauge the liveliness of the arena by watching the  "X shot down X" kill messages.

Update the Tempest or something usefull instead of adding stupid crap like this.

The alternative of adding the spam to another tab is just as bad.

Last night I did that and it's just as hard to see pertinent info in the other tab. 90% of it is kill spam and it's difficult to spot pertinent info. Check boxes to enable or disable each system message type would be nice, or even make each system  message type a different  and contrasting color.

Well, a vast majority of the kills were made in GV spawn camps. Still not much action if your playing Aces High to fight airplanes with other airplanes.

I was on a short while around 10 pm central and things were hopping. I was updating a TV and all my Adobe software in the background too so I did not stay for more than 45 minutes.

Yup ran a 38 out of gas (full mains and a drop) and never fired a shot. Feast or famine.

Go find those GV's and start a war. Enemy planes will show up.

Right click the tabs set one to Country, range, squad and what other pertinent info. Right click make a new tab and set it only to system messages. Drag that new window out and you can place it where ever you want if you don’t want to click between tabs. I’ve had mine like this since the options became available.

Sometimes when I see player X killed player Y (repeat, repeat, repeat) and I know they are gv'ers........I go join that fight if I can.  :aok

As long as Scotty does not start picking on my M-8....I am good.    :D :D

The people that are crying about this crack me up...

OK...we very well need a check box for just the kill messages...that way the tears will stop...

Its not enough there is already a check box for it but we need one....and we need it bad....matter of fact....I'm gonna vote with my wallet....if I don't get a check box or some way to turn off the kill messages...don't take it personal Hitech...I don't care if I can have a whole other text window with just the kill messages in it...it sucks....this sucks...I don't want change...and damnit I don't want people to see Rud3boi killed me...

There are far too many R's and K's being posted. I want a check box to ignore certain letters of the alphabet.

Battlefield V has it, you just have to turn it on. That was something I saw people complaining they wanted back on the BF forums.

Not pointing a finger at Hitech so much as pointing out, paradigm shifts happen in all things. Those who fail to adjust to the shift fall by the wayside. A good example is Kodak. They failed to adjust to electronic imaging and now there’s only one Kodak film processing facility in the whole country. This game is a great MMO style game, I think one of the top 5. There are big things that can be done and there are little things that can be done to keep this game alive. Some of the little things are things like flying off the map bombing and bailing, these things hurt gameplay.  All the other top MMO’s seem to have dealt with this why high-tech doesn’t I don’t know. if I were Hitech I would be seriously looking into future updates of the game as it might relate to adding in first person shooter like ww2online has.

Well, lets just get to the point..............
Hitech, is this posting every kill in the text buffer going to remain indefinitely? IF so will you consider a option in the text editor to turn off only that feature to effectively allow the text buffer to perform as before.
