kaos1985 Posted July 31, 2019 Posted July 31, 2019 The Help Channel Often gets used as a sort of general chat which can be aggravating to those who prefer to just see actual help there. Any chance we could get "Official" Channels for non-help things ... for instance a General or Off Topic Channel and/or a Lore Channel for discussion of lore relating to the game?
Nykodemos Posted July 31, 2019 Posted July 31, 2019 aye, this idea was also brought up as a Global General Chat Channel by Asperai, HERE nanoo nanoo
WanderingAries Posted July 31, 2019 Posted July 31, 2019 Isn't there a list of existing global channels? There's a bunch out there with different themes.

justicebeliever Posted August 1, 2019 Posted August 1, 2019 Aries, I think the problem is that the Help channel can become crowded with off-topic discussions (nerd culture, build arguments, best bbq in Memphis, etc.) People who are off topic are often reluctant (refuse) to move on-topic because there is no global channel for them to have off topic conversations. when the existence of such channels is pointed out, they usually aren’t satisfied, because despite knowing the best build, AT, powersets, power choices, and IO’s, the actual mechanics of having to search and subscribe to a global channel are too difficult to master. In reality, I expect those people just want their audience (the whole shard) and are unwilling to move unless an alternative is available that we are forced to be a part of. Personally, I am against this, because a.) I doubt it will change behavior for the obstinate ones I just discussed and b.) for those that are willing to go into another channel, we already have the options you describe.. I am really pretty bitter at the Help channel, can you tell? P.S. There are really tried and true heroes in that channel who not only put up with the above crap, but do so with aplomb and decorum while still managing to help people...

Eh, I'm more bitter about the fact that we've been having persistent Globals issues. The likely reason people Stay in Help or LFG. Nothing pisses you off like not being able to talk to others just because you entered a building. Now I haven't played in a bit, so if this has been FIXED, then I'll be forever grateful!
