Spamming chat with what you are listening to.

I’m honestly surprised that people don’t delete General Chat from their tab as soon as they log in and set up their UI. Like, why?

For me: It's rarely a cesspool on Everlasting and sometimes genuinely interesting/fun conversations happen there. And 99% of the time I'm able to completely ignore it. There's enough other crap going by from the default chat setups that most of the time I miss what's happening there anyway since I'm typically in game to play the game.

Global: @Valnara1; Discord Handle: @Valnara#0620

I primarily play on Everlasting, but you may occasionally find me on Indom. 🙂

Notable Characters: Apocolyptica - Demons/Storm MM; Lurking Monster - Human-Form WS; Environmentabot - Bots/Nature MM; Miss Fade - Ill/Traps Controller; Sister Apocalypse - Beast/Dark MM; Dr. Elaina Wrath - Plant/Rad Controller (Join the House of Wrath, and spread the word of science!); Ruff Ruff Boom - AR/Devices Blaster

I mentioned upthread that I do exactly that. Because I don't, personally, care about what's happening there, but also don't begrudge people using the General chat channel for general chatting. I simply take my leave without complaint.

Well I was offering an alternative reason for the chat but if you're taking my response so literally perhaps if the fictitious player in question was struggling, maybe they didn't know of the existence of the help channel.

 

Given that both channels are enabled for all characters by default, I don't think it would be unfair to presume that anyone aware of one is probably also aware of the other. At the very least, someone asking for advice on a particular in-game subject in General is likely to be gently directed toward a more focused, topic-specific channel where they can get more focused, topic-specific answers.

 

Either way, though, that (obviously) wasn't the point I was making. My point was, if someone has a game-related topic they want to discuss, there are dedicated channels already in place for most of those topics -- Help, LFG, Arena, et cetera. And those players should absolutely take those discissions the appropriate channels. But the purpose of the General channel is, again, just to be... well, general. It's the "whatever" channel. Unless we're going to advocate for the unnecessary, draconian step of demanding that nobody ever use in-game chat to discuss any topics not directly related to the game, General is absolutely the right place for idle communication and socialization. As long as they're not posting anything to it that's harmful or otherwise a violation of HC's rules -- and as long as they're not flooding the chat with multiple lines at a time and preventing others from using it -- then whatever people are posting, whether or not you or I personally care about it, isn't "spamming," it's just chatting.

I am grateful for the level of seriousness and dedication you've brought to my previous comments. Your responses have been enlightening. Thank you for your input.

 

 

A friend asked me if I knew any Motown puns. I told him I know two or three, maybe four, tops!

I logged on today and after a while I thought "What the F**K do I even have this channel?

I deleted it and it's ultimately the best solution.

And then we are roleplaying and someone starts humming a song, or singing it, and plants the youtube URL for the song in chat -_-

We need a way to reenact the scene from Star Trek 4, with the punk blasting music on the bus, only in-game...
