Scarlet Shocker Posted June 17, 2019 Posted June 17, 2019 So I'm in a distinct number of chat groups in games, and finding keeping tab [sic] of all the potential places to have a conversation with my fellow players is proving to be somewhat confusing. How do you guys tend to arrange yours in the most efficient and user friendly manner? I'd love to see and maybe crib some ideas from you. There's a fine line between a numerator and a denominator but only a fraction of people understand that.
NekoAli Posted June 17, 2019 Posted June 17, 2019 I have set my chat up with three panels. The bottom most is for character communication. Local, NPC, SG, team and whispers. Middle panel is for global communication. LFG, Help and Broadcast in one tab. Combat info in another tab and system stuff in a third. The top panel is for created channels, which I'm in 4 right now. Cape Radio gets it's own tab since it's busy and swamps everyone else out. RP and OOC are linked and most people who are in one are in the other Also conversations can reference one another, so it's important to keep them together. The Rookery channel has a lot fewer people so it stays in the same tab as RP and OOC.
justicebeliever Posted June 17, 2019 Posted June 17, 2019 I leave the global tab as is, but rarely use it. I'm usually in my help tab, which is the help channel + any global channels I have. When help blows up to painful to watch in-fighting, i have a chit-chat tab which is just my global channels. And then I have a “team” tab with nothing in it that I use when teaming so I can focus on the team. All my tabs have the system, cutscene, npc, local, team, rewards, and provate channels in them "The opposite of a fact is falsehood, but the opposite of one profound truth may very well be another profound truth." - Niels Bohr Global Handle: @JusticeBeliever ...

Scarlet Shocker Posted June 20, 2019 Author Posted June 20, 2019 the problem I find is that if I leave out some busy groups, I miss lots of into but if I have it in more than one window it swamps There's a fine line between a numerator and a denominator but only a fraction of people understand that.
