    is there a special code for team speak?
    like "negative" means something different in different situations?

    IF NOT, can this be where we could make one?

    Far as I know, there's no convention. Slang between players who have played together before is common though.

    I used to play a game , where they had some specific sequence of emoji/msg as a strategy or some message! :p
    Would be amazing to have something to that sort in BB, especially when fleeting.... Can be used to converse.... Preplanned tactics! :p

    or even just a more sophisticated customisable team speak?

    actually, how do i get the dev's attention?
    OI DEV'S CONSIDER MY IDEA IT IS GOOD

    like we could have either:
    the default speech, with another button next to it, having your own chosen things

    or

    could just add/change the default?

    so in the settings there would be a thing, opening up to a menu, showing the team speak as it would look like in-game
    EXCEPT you can edit more things in or change them from the choices that they have.

    i was thinking stuff like:
    follow me!
    im flanking!
    stop! (when you want to surprise attack the unfriends from hiding and want your team to help?)
    go!

    small things like that.
    maybe yet more sophisticated, could be a location button, like if you want someone to go there or you are going there.

    that would make the game soooo much more of a team game!
    PLZ DEV'S ADD THIS PLEEEASE

    While more emotes/in-game communication is a great idea, and the new extended radial menus are a nice way to implement them, I think it'd be hard to squeeze many more options in there to pick from without really cluttering things up.

    Directional commands would be useful ("Go Left!" "Go Right!" "Advance!" "Retreat!") but then there's also alerts like "Behind us!" - it's just tough to think of how you'd squeeze that into the limited screen real estate there is to work with, especially on a phone. A top-right corner menu could work, but then you're cluttering up the team icons ...

    we could go with thought 2?
    press the button twice?
    one to bring up the basic
    press again to bring up your own (lets say limited to 5 or 6)
    then press again to dismiss.
    ive seen this in other games, except you couldnt customize it. i got used to pressing it twice every time. its not THAT hard, right?

    Actually, I like that the commands are minimalistic. They added an extended wheel, but I find myself rarely using it. You'll learn that more and more people will understand everything you wish to convey as time passes...

    i like the directions idea too, so why not have those as an option?
    [​IMG]
    then the icons could just be replaced with arrows for directions
    and letters for tactics (flank = F, etc.)
    and stop and go can be a traffic sign (red or green)

    im not saying all these should be implemented, just the option of some more chat!!

    AAAND if it is too confusing for people, they can disable it altogether in the settings!

    since when was there an extended wheel?!

    btw i see what u mean, but to have the option of your own commands is good.
    its only an option

    I used to play a game (I won't mention the name) where v had a team called NOVA , they were the ones who dominated the leaderboards in the game!
    Ofcourse they had tons of skills , but were also ill reputed for WIN TRADING , buying of accounts and players and much more!

    I ain't saying that every NOVA is same, but let's not let anyone ruin the game!
