Suggestion: Server Specific and Global In-Game Chat Channels

[atSpacey]

I was wondering if it would be possible to have server specific global chat channels, as well as a single global channel added in game.

 

e.g.:

Excelsior Global or General Chat

Indomitable " "

Everlasting " "

etc.

 

…and Homecoming Global as the cross server global channel (though yes, I know all global channels are cross server).

 

Asking because the Help channel seems to be serving that purpose right now and requests for help can get lost among general conversation. For anyone wishing to join one of the channels if they are created here are instructions on how you would set up and chat on those channels easily.

 

Joining the channel:

/chan_join "Channel Name"

 

And a useful bind to send a message to desired channel:

 

/bind KEY or KEY+KEY "beginchat /send "Channel Name" [$name: $level $archetype]: 

 

Notes: KEY can be any key, or combination of keys, you want to bind the command to (e.g. LSHIFT or SHIFT+K). Include the space after the last colon. Name/Level/Archetype will always display those variables for the character you are currently playing. Your chat line in global channels begins with your global name so this helps other people know what you're currently playing if they're looking for someone like you to join their team.

 

Here is a the List of Key Names from Paragon Wiki if you'd like to reference it for the names of keys that aren't obvious.

 

Side Note: Although server side logging of chat has been disabled, it's a good idea to turn local chat logging on should you find yourself in a situation where you're being harassed so that you can present evidence of it if it needs to be reported.

Bump.

 

Also, would appreciate it if this post could be moved to the new Suggestions/Feedback board. TY.

The tools are there. If you want to make them, you can do it yourself! You just have to convince people to use them.

There's already things like this, it's just no one is using them a lot

 

e.g. already existing global channels:

 

Excelsior

Excelsior Badgers

Excelsior Badges

Excelsior for All

Excelsior Monsters

Excelsior TFs

Excelsior Unofficial
