[quote name='GymLeaderGreen' timestamp='1367815517' post='322467'] I hardly leave my team chat anymore to be honest. I thought that was the point of teams. I know it doesnt fix the channel issue,[b] but channel 8 is usually close to empty.[/b] [/quote] You're missing the point. I'm talking about a well populated and more intelligent chat, not a lonesome one.

[quote name='CipherWeston' timestamp='1367815261' post='322459'] spammers - get muted extremely quickly wrong chatters(people trying to sell items and pokemon) - They get sent to Trade Chat complete trolls - Literarily nobody cares about them so they stop uninformed conversations - I've been in some great conversations on Global before. and endless storyline questions - And every single one gets answered, with no hesitation or anger issues. [/quote] Theoretically, for the reasons you mentioned, global and channel chat are great. Let's face reality though. The one word we hear to describe channel and global is [u]cancer[/u]. Also, there is nothing wrong with helping out noobs in channel chat. However, this is also nothing wrong with us wanting a better channel chat too.

[quote name='TWDaryl' timestamp='1367815117' post='322456'] People such as myself are there to answer those questions and guide people to the right places. In the end of the day, each to their own opinion. -1 [/quote] More power to you. But, that doesn't conflict with the idea of channel 9, whatsoever.

[quote name='TWDaryl' timestamp='1367814840' post='322452'] What is wrong with the current Global? [b]Nothing.[/b] Like Green said, filter the chats you don't like. [/quote] Are you just arguing for the sake of arguement? Global chat is filled with spammers, wrong chatters(people trying to sell items and pokemon), complete trolls, uninformed conversations, and endless storyline questions. Many of us, obviously, want something else.

accidental double post.

[quote name='TWDaryl' timestamp='1367814403' post='322440'] There is nothing wrong with current tourney locations. [b]The current tournament locations are obviously usable, but not having random noobs battling npc's in the dojo, during a tournament, is a big plus.[/b] When you say better, it will be a lot worse than you make Global out to be. [b]I don't see your reasoning. Why would a more informed and experience populace be worse than the current global?[/b] [/quote] [quote name='GymLeaderGreen' timestamp='1367814624' post='322446'] [b]Neither of these make you a veteran.[/b] 100 hours isnt hard to hit and donating hardly makes anyone less of a noob. While I support the idea of a channel with less garbage, If you dont like reading it you can simply turn those chats off. [/quote] I agree. Like i said, I'm just using the word veteran, because it is the easiest adjective, that I can think of, to describe someone with more experience than others.

[quote name='TWDaryl' timestamp='1367814240' post='322430'] In what way? There are a lot of new players, yes, and old ones. The developers ought to be spending their time doing something for both than just one group of people. [/quote] [quote name='NaitDawg' timestamp='1367812585' post='322378'] 1. [size=6]Better Channel Chat[/size] 2. [size=5]Better Tournament Locations[/size] [size=1](new players will not be running around)[/size] 3. Encourages Donations 4. Increases veteran player moral [/quote]

[quote name='TWDaryl' timestamp='1367814108' post='322425'] How about this, the devs could spend their time implementing something that would benefit the game. [/quote] This benefits the game.

[quote name='eggplantoftime' timestamp='1367813900' post='322422'] Donator status is irrelevant, any noob can be a donator. [/quote] If you pay money to play the game, you should be able to access a public channel. That's my thought.

[quote name='TWDaryl' timestamp='1367813245' post='322405'] I see what you mean, but the time spent doing this could be spent doing something of more use. [/quote] You could say that about[i] literally[/i] any suggestion. For example : [color=#000080]I think subsitute should be implemented. Well, what about Hoenn? And, vice versa. [/color] If it's a good suggestion, say so, and it it's a bad suggestion, say so. The developers can decide when to implement what they want. With that being said, I don't even think this is diffucult to implement. It's just a 9th channel that check if you have a certain number of hours to your account or character. [quote name='CipherWeston' timestamp='1367813376' post='322410'] If you make a forum-only channel, it'll slowly turn into another global. Where users make forum accounts, post a certain amount of posts and are eligible to be in that channel. [/quote] I didn't mean that this would literally become a forum-only channel. I think you misinterpreted what i meant. [quote name='JWingWangWong' timestamp='1367813488' post='322414'] Spending over 100 hours on the game can still make you act like an idiot. [/quote] Its an arbitrary number. A 100 hour requirement weeds out [i]most[/i] of the idiotic speech, but if 150,200,or 250 sounds good to the community, so be it. Also, you can never truly defeat 100% of b/s on a channel chat.

[quote name='TWDaryl' timestamp='1367813016' post='322399'] This is pointless. There are barely any players at all on some channels, if you don't like Global, disable it. All the "veterans" can go to channel 6 and talk in Channel Chat. It is the same as this suggestion. [/quote] So, you really beleive that the vast majority of forum users would not like a standard channel chat with little to no noobs? I don't think so.

[quote name='TWDaryl' timestamp='1367812746' post='322387'] "Veteran" [/quote] Or, the not noob channel? What else would you like me to call it? "Veteran" is just a quick adjective to describe the idea. If you comment, talk about the actual merits of the idea.

We should have channel 9 become an option in the channel list. "Why is this a good idea?", you ask? One of the most complained about problems is the "cancerous" dialouge of global and channel chat. It is simply annoying for veteran players to read the text scrolling in global or channel chat. [color=#0000cd][size=5]That being said, I propose channel 9![/size][/color] [img]http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m99s2xtKbo1rsw1yf.gif[/img] [b]Channel 9 is restricted to users who have [u]350+ hours, or donator status[/u].[/b] It has many benefits, which include : 1. [size=6]Better Channel Chat[/size] 2. [size=6]Being a perk for long-time players[/size] 3. [size=5]Better Tournament Locations[/size] [size=1](new players will not be running around)[/size] 4. Encourages Donations 5. Increases veteran player moral 6. Encouraging game play 7. Providing a small goal to achieve 8. Giving a channel for all of us to call home, once again Additional Comments : [quote name='ProfessorElderberry' timestamp='1367814269' post='322432'] [size=3]I think the number can be variable and worked out... for my tastes, I would say 500+ (or higher) would be even better![/size] [size=3]I would not think this suggestion as a way of keeping the noobs/etc.etc. out, but allowing for people that have played the game a good amount to have an additional perk for doing so. tl;dr meh, sounds good to me [/size] [/quote] [quote name='NaitDawg' timestamp='1367814706' post='322448'] I'm just using the word veteran, because it is the easiest adjective, that I can think of, to describe someone with more experience than others. [b]Please stop getting so bent up about the word "veteran"[/b]. [/quote]

I don't support a single ability change to 4th gen. I do support changing all abilities to 4th gen, though.

pls don't let scrubs like this into your team anymore. Prom is for gentlemen. [img]http://puu.sh/2MJ1n.png[/img]

I'd like a confirmation that the tournament is in 5 hours please.

[quote name='DoctorPBC' timestamp='1367441024' post='316174'] Bracket please! [/quote]

[quote name='Sammier' timestamp='1367437762' post='316060'] If you put it that way, it sounds like you are mocking the Devs. Devs know about priorities and they are very busy. We shouldn't push them too much. [/quote] Satire is one of the greatest forms of patriotism.

Support

[quote name='Munya' timestamp='1367400867' post='315191'] Can't say I understand the point of adding it. [/quote] Let's be honest. The community sees the developers as cold and uncaring. We watch as simple suggestion threads die with 100% support posts only to have a staff member say, "We like it. But, sorry, we just don't have the time to do this." I think the developers should implement this, a cool and fun nod to the original games, because more importantly, the community is dissatisfied with the developers. [spoiler]Sorry, Staff. It's honest, no B/S feedback. [/spoiler]

Pls.
