Title: good idea for new arean
Post by: ccvi on November 29, 2002, 12:20:07 PM
I've got an idea for a new arean.

Settings: like main.

changes: disable auto mute, no mute rights for anyone.


Let the players decide where they want to play.

Auto mute? Arean?
 Could you extrapolate a little on these!
Maybe the turkey has slowed me down today?!

Or... we could create a chat room. Later mods would add aircraft... after that, we can add ground vehicles and ships. Imagine!

If you cannot play without getting muted perhaps the problem is not in the game.:rolleyes:
I have never been muted in the MA. This is not a problem as far as I am concerned. The lack of mute on range vox IS a problem. There should be no reason to be stuck listening to the juvinile choice of language spewing out of the speakers from immature players of all ages.:mad:  HT put a squelch on range vox!

Squelching Range Vox would be a plus!!!!!

Mav, he was referring to the auto-mute which is well known for muting people for typos and even for properly-written sentences that have NO vulgarity or such in them at all.

He said and no1 with mute rights as well, which would be moderators.
I agree with MAV.

I've never been muted.

But I want to read what others type. Uncensored.

This brings up another idea. An option that would disable muting at the receiving end (reading everything although someone is muted) had the same effect and no different arena needed.

Range squelch might be nice if you have kids around the house - obviously some of the stuff you may not want them hearing - but the squelch feature should be sufficient to determine what you see and what you dont see.  Honestly, if there is anyone actually offended by typed out vulgarity - you can A. Squelch the individual B. Squelch the whole channel or C. Go Mute Nazi on the BBS.  Which would you think is most effective?

Well said Mav.  Some people just dont get it.

I find it hard to believe that HTC would waste valuable game development time to code an arena like that.  Its already pathetic that they had to spend some of that valuable time coding on a word filter in the first place.

If you have kids in the house you shouldn't be playing but spending your time with the kids.

Then me.

Or perhaps I should wake up my 3 year old daughter and see if she wants to play, it's only 1:30 A.M.
