[BYDESIGN?] The lobby?

[FluxX]

Is it by design that there are no silence/buddy or whisper options?

Are these to be added?

Are "rooms" or such like to be added.


[Opinion]

I can see it being VERY difficult for players to play after relese if the room is filled with alot of people, and no options on who you can see/hear.

I think all the lobby chat features (friend lists etc) will be activated in the final release.

There are 3 rooms currently, you can change the room using the combo box control above the player list.

Whisper and ignore are in game, the controls are at the bottom of the player list on the left of the lobby screen.

You can also type "/<playername>" to whisper directly to someone. The name will autocomplete. So to whisper to you I'd type

/FluxX howdy

Buddy lists are not in the game.

Mmm.. Would have been nice to have more rooms.. as there are a lot of players with meaningless names in the beginners lobby talking in German. :/

We'll be adding more rooms for the final game.

Thankyou, I only got a quick look at the lobby... will do a detailed examination tonight!

Impressive game, since im looking for something new to replace my RTS hunger, this looks promising. The news that they'll be more rooms is promising, will it be possible to create out own rooms ala battle.net? A couple of other things, do you think it would be possible to change the chat colours for the various comments that come at you. Its hard to pick out a whisper from a friend in a packed room. Make general whispers red and whisper groups blue?

Also, when it comes to finding a game, an ability to just enter the name of the game would make things easier. Just some thoughts.
