[Opinion]Friends box

[Peaco]

I think it would be helpfull if a friends list was added fo rthe multiplayer section. most other on-line games have these and I find them very useful for talking to/inviting friends.

I thought the same, the Onlineplaying is a mess... OK, the Games are starting fast, but the Chatrooms are to huge, you can't find a Friend. A Friendlist would be good and personal Channels. Not only the 3 startchats.

Friends list AND a decent profile where you can put some comments and earn icons.

I really hope relic implements a friends list.. one of the most basic things an RTS lobby needs. Its pretty hard to find people now, bearable if you move to intermediate or expert.. but when retail hits there'll be hundreds of ppl in each room, its gonna be a mess. And yeah we could also do with being able to make our own channels too, if possible.

I agree... I just want to put emphasis on to the fact that this does really really need to happen. There is a stats panel, but a more personalize/editable one. And the friends list is very highly needed. As long as it doesn't connect with GameSpy... No offense, but I hate that program, especially in connection with internal game's friends and stats...

[Peaco]

we gonna get any editors in here??? need a high opinion

Relic, just go on Battlenet, and use all the features there (WCIII or SC battlenet)

I seem to remember a relic guy saying there would be more rooms at retail, not sure if these were player made (like in Bnet) or just more in general, either will help. As for friends list, icons etc etc, i'm all for it.

/whisper + user (obvious)
/ignore + user (obvious)
/do not disturb (dnd) if you are playing an important game
/time (obvious)
/friend list (fl) (obvious)
/f m (friend message, sends a message to everyone on your list)
/stats (obvious)
/join + name (joins a channel/creates a new one if said name is empty)

Then you need channel mod status etc, as someone said - just take all the features of Battle.net or something!

Also the scrolldown thing needs to change colour, everything sort of 'blends' together making it hard to use.

The join options need a place where you can just type in name+pass and start, password protected games should not be shown in game list (make this like battle.net for starcraft please ^_^), if you highlight a game and press any letter (ie 1 23 45 abc) you should be taken to the next game starting with that letter, and then the next etc, in alphabetical order.

If you implement all this, it will be a much more enjoyable game :)

/<nick> whispers already
/group will whisper to all in your group

There's no need for DnD as you're not in the lobby once you start a game.

/time? That'd be kinda handy.
/Friends list well, that could be the /group list
/fm see /group
/stats click the buttons for that
New channels will not be able to be created, although I think they should be.

Relic really needs to re-examine the layout of the lobby, it's not that intuitive (had a useability "expert" play with me on teamspeak last night).

They've already stated they're taking a look at the game's list.

Didn't know there were any commands at all :O No one seemed to know when I asked ^_^ I still think you should have as many commands as possible, using your mouse for toggling between group/public is annoying +_+ And DND is for when you are playing and dont want to be whispered, or can't you whisper someone in game?

Maybe a PM-type command could be good. Not being able to create channels = I won't buy this game 90% sure!

And yeah, changing interface would be sooooo nice.

Ugh.. can you only whisper to people in the same channel as you? That's just BAD, /nick should send a message to anyone anywhere!
