In-game commands- Link to forums

aznballa_33 · 01-02-2008, 08:15 AM

Proposed Commands:

/drop - Displays time and unit of last drop (probably have GMT standard, then just compare time to your zone). Or can open a new window to the Last drop in Legends forums.

/forum - Opens Legends Forums in a new window.

/url - Ability to post a clickable link in-game. Can be limited to clan chat or welcome message only( ideal for easy access to clan websites)

/whisper - Ability to whisper to a specific player (ideal for arranging games and more direct conversations. Can be toggled on/off)

/chat - Allows people to use a computer microphone to communicate( Probably should be restricted to clan chat only)

Other Suggestions:

Customize your Window- Basically the ability to change the skin/backgound of the TAO game window... add a little individuality to your game.

That's all for now I guess. I'll try and keep it updated if I think of anything else.

/drop,/forum and /whisper idea is good,but /url,i don think its good,because if you can do that,you seem like a In Game Mod

Drops are meant to be unpredictable. Why would Seed make things easier for us when he d't want it to be easy?

The forums are not official so there will never be a link to them in-game.

Allowing urls to be posted in the lobby would simply encourage spambots or people posting rude links. Impossible to contain.

Whisper = clanchat.

The game already has a perfectly servicable chat system called "type your message and press enter".

Customising your window- suggested before, reasonable idea but unnecessary when there are much more useful things that could be done.

I dont think it would be very useful. Thanks for the ideas.

The forum thing could get done if Seed ever got to making the OFFICIAL Forums, which he never will.
