[POLL]More chat commands

In my opinion these are 2 must-be commands:
-Wait me
-Retreat

 

Yes, yes , yes!!!!!! A "fall back" command and a "scatter" command would be useful also.

 

Yes, the game needs a retreat command for sure. I often feel lack of it.

 

Together does the work of retreat most of the time.. unless the player is dumb not to understand

 

I'd love some more commands I just worry about how hard it'd be to navigate to them. The user interface design might be a real trick particularly on a phone sized screen.

 

I love this idea! However, I want two specific messages:

1. SHUT THE HELL UP!
2. YOU ARE AN IDIOT!!

I can't tell you how amazingly often I would use these...

 

I think it is necessary to add one command:

• Retreat General command
  • Retreat «name» With selection of a particular player

Perhaps I would like more commands, but I understand that there should be easy access to all commands without overloading the interface.

 

big thumb up!

 

How about one that says "Enemy behind"? That one might be too ambiguous.

 

When you see your teammate heading right towards a mine with his turret pointed into other direction (so he can't see it), you could really use a command: MINE!!

 

I think we need a whole thread in Off-Topic for the snarky messages we all secretly want. I could certainly think of a few.... none of which should actually be implemented

 

You need to think bigger. We could make that a lot more useful with a

<Team Mate> is doomed! message.

useful for mines, torps, and idiot speeders like me who rush to engage on their own.

 

i think I've mentioned this elsewhere, but it needs to be more detailed:
[person] » [action] » [location/person]

DoktorTeeth FOLLOW AntiSnipe
Team AntiSnipe cover Left-flank
Sifa FOLLOW Snapshot
Team Snapshot COVER Right-flank

idk if anyone remembers Quakewars, but thats the sort of communication system we need... it was quick to use once you got used to it

other actions :
retreat to
focus on
distract

 

If they can handle the UI design problems on the smaller screen formats then I am 110% in favor of more detailed and useful battle commands. I'd love to see all of yours and I'd like a scout option too.

I'm scouting / <xxxxxx> go scout

I think one of the reasons existing teams struggle with teamwork is that you really have to work to figure out what everyone else is doing and why. Particularly above 1200-ish infamy my experience is that people are totally willing to coordinate but there's a lot of confusion as to how. But things like assigning targets work remarkably well... probably because it's a clear thing to do.

 

The "together" button never worked, it should be remove and replace with "Fall back" or "Do not suicide". The "Yes" should be replace with "Yay! another one suicide" and last but not least the SOS should become "GG, i'm out!"
