Alchemystic Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 (edited) Can we maybe get an 'Events' channel added to the game? I'm seeing General and Broadcast being used a lot to promote clubs, costume contests, and and other player hosted content, where a dedicated channel for it might be beneficial to everyone. I know it's probably a minor peeve but it'd be nice to have an appropriate space for these kinds of messages, so that it's easier to filter them in your chat tabs, and reduce the amount of traffic the other channels are taking on right now.

Night Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 It could help to put the spam in one place. And it might even be useful to tab into when you're actually looking for an event. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TemporalVileTerror Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 The "Events" channels are already used for announcing giant monsters, I think. So, alternatively, maybe an in-game bulletin board could be handy. HEY! Potential Inf-sink, even. Spend Inf to buy space on the bulletin board. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andreah Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 Yes, events is zone events. I think a player events channel would be good, but there is already a lot of overlap of usage of the established channels, and I wonder if having more might make it worse, not better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alchemystic Posted April 10, 2021 Author Share Posted April 10, 2021 True, but the Zone Events tab isn't a proper chat channel, just a feed of what stuff has spawned/activated in each zone. Though if the name is a bit too similar then calling it 'Player Events' in order to separate it could work, or just call it something like 'Promotions' or 'Activities'. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TemporalVileTerror Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 "Activities" I like! . . . still think an in-game bulletin board would be ideal. Granted, how to make it "fair" and un-troll'able could be challenging . . . hmm . . . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parabola Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 I've no objection to this idea but if I could add a channel myself it would be a farming one in the hope that looking for group could be spared the incessant spam... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Homecoming would openly endorse dedicated farming, despite defending people's ability to do so. But I could see it being rolled into the "Bulletin Board" concept fairly easily Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a lot of this on some servers? I see some, but not a lot on the one I play on (Everlasting). And don't forget, it's entirely possible to make a player run "Looking for Farms" or "EverlastingFarms" global channel for a given server, akin to the EverlastingTFs channel we have. Get a few prominent and frequent farmers to start it up, and then advertise it, and before you know it, there'd be a channel dedicated to the purpose very quickly, and it could even be player moderated then.
