[quote name='Emlee' timestamp='1366343329' post='295398'] [/quote] Well, all I can say for you and others who feel as you do, is that you wouldn't [i]have[/i] to use this system if it were implemented. Those who would enjoy this system could use it, and those who wouldn't enjoy this system wouldn't have to use it. No harm, no foul. Thanks for your comments. [quote name='Ductape' timestamp='1366351353' post='295546'] What about casual conversations via global. OR Oluthions random trivia he likes to answer. I see this sytem useful for situations thats not just helping people with game questions but with conversations wanting outside input. [/quote] Right. Emlee and I were discussing a comment I made earlier regarding CMs. But the [i]main[/i] purpose of this system would be for what you posted. [quote name='TWDaryl' timestamp='1366351925' post='295556'] Is this intended to be like messages on the forums? [/quote][quote name='Nakakami' timestamp='1366353457' post='295591'] Basically like a quote in the forum? [/quote] Yes, this would basically be like quoting on the forums. A good comparison would be: The forums = In-game chat PMs = Whispering Quotes = This reply system [quote name='TWDaryl' timestamp='1366351925' post='295556'] you would be able to go back and look at them anytime? [/quote] If by that you mean would you be able to scroll up in the chat and see the replies, then yes. [quote name='Nakakami' timestamp='1366353457' post='295591'] don't expect a lot of people using it: sometimes when a secondary feature like this is implemented it stands unnoticed and unused for a long time as it isn't particularly useful to everyone... [/quote] I think many people would use this system. As I've said already, I've seen this sort of thing in other chats and people like it.

[quote name='Emlee' timestamp='1366332587' post='295121'] [b]Player:[/b] "Where is the Coin Case?" [b]Me:[/b]"Coin case = South of Game Corner, Cafe" [/quote] But that's not usually how it goes. It's more like: [b]Player:[/b] "Where is the Coin Case?" Someone else: "Blah blah blah blah" Someone else: "Blah blah blah blah" Someone else: *asks question* Someone else: "Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah" [b]You:[/b] "Coin case = South of Game Corner, Cafe" When it could be: [b]Player:[/b] "Where is the Coin Case?" Someone else: "Blah blah blah blah" Someone else: "Blah blah blah blah" Someone else: *asks question* Someone else: "Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah" [b]You: [color=#ff0000]R:[/color] Player: [/b] "Coin case = South of Game Corner, Cafe" See what I'm saying? Also, not everyone answers as clearly as you did in that example. A lot of the time the answer is "game corner" or something. Which, while not being extremely different, does add to the confusion. [quote name='Emlee' timestamp='1366332587' post='295121'] The way I answer does not confuse people, [/quote] Not the way [i]you [/i]answer personally, but the way people answer questions does confuse people sometimes. I know because I've seen it. I've seen people say "Who are you talking to?" "Was that answer for me?" Etc., etc... [quote name='Emlee' timestamp='1366332587' post='295121'] it allows other players to read what I am saying and be informed if they happen to be in Global Chat. [/quote] This system would still allow your messages to be read by all. Just because you direct an answer at one person doesn't mean others couldn't benefit from the answer. [quote name='Emlee' timestamp='1366332587' post='295121'] So, personally I do not see the use. [/quote] No problem with that. It's a shame, though, because this is a great idea. I've seen this in other chats before and it makes the chat better overall and people like it. [quote name='Dannnno' timestamp='1366332885' post='295129'] or that taking the time to click and go to reply is faster [/quote] It would, without a doubt, be faster. Right-click > reply vs. typing a name manually? No contest. Lol. [quote name='Dannnno' timestamp='1366332885' post='295129'] (I hate using my mouse in general, I'd rather type any day) [/quote] That's fine. If this were ever implemented you wouldn't [i]have[/i] to use it.

[quote name='Lust' timestamp='1366327962' post='294947'] I don't see how this encourages group discussion [/quote] This wouldn't necessarily be meant to encourage group discussion, more of a way to better handle group discussion. [quote name='Lust' timestamp='1366327962' post='294947'] since you'd be replying to the one person, which is what we have whispering for. [/quote] You'd be replying to however many people you choose to reply to. Whispering is for private discussion between 2 people. This reply system would be for public discussion between multiple people. [quote name='Lust' timestamp='1366327962' post='294947'] You can have group discussions easily without this [/quote] Kinda. It's not hard to type someone's name in before your message so they know you're talking to them, but it's annoying. Why type in multiple names over and over again? Why re-copy and re-paste multiple names over and over again? That's the point of this suggestion...to simplify that process. You could also just type in your text without names, but then it's confusing to tell who's talking to who. [quote name='Lust' timestamp='1366327962' post='294947'] so long as you don't try to attempt it in Global chat/Channel 1 chat. [/quote] This system would be specifically meant for those, along with any other chat with lots of discussion happening. [quote name='Emlee' timestamp='1366328930' post='294991'] I prefer typing answers in a way that anyone reading can be informed. [/quote] You mean without names, just the text? But then it becomes confusing for people to tell exactly who you're talking to. I mean, we're not dumb, I'm sure most people can figure out who your message is aimed at, but wouldn't it be better to actually [i]see [/i]who you're talking to? And everyone would still be informed. The reply would be public for all to see. The only difference would be that now everyone knows exactly who you're talking to. [quote name='Emlee' timestamp='1366328930' post='294991'] I just don't personally see the need for it when whispers currently meet the function of addressing individuals. [/quote] Because, from what I've seen at least, CMs don't usually answer with whispers. I assume this is because, as you stated above, you want your answers to be seen by all as to help more people. This reply system, again, would be public for all to see. [quote name='Toira' timestamp='1366328965' post='294993'] I can understand your point as I have seen this done on different chat mediums. For example, to the user viewing ANOTHER person's reply to you, YOUR name would appear in a different color, perhaps bright and obvious for you to not miss. It's not terribly annoying...I can see how sometimes it would be, but it's not that bad of an idea. [/quote] Yeah, you get it. This is simply meant to make PokeMMO life a little easier. I in no way claim that this is a revolutionary idea. [quote name='iSmashbro' timestamp='1366329239' post='295000'] And when someone whispers you, you can left click their name and it will automatically put you back in that whisper conversation [/quote] Again, this isn't the same thing as whispering. This and whispering serve 2 different functions.

[quote name='Deshar' timestamp='1366323501' post='294564'] copy their name to wordpad. Re-copy when needed and paste with Ctrl+V. [/quote] Lol. That's the point of this idea...to not have to do all that nonsense. [quote name='Deshar' timestamp='1366323501' post='294564'] I'm sure some people would probably find this just as annoying a thing to have to do. [/quote] I know people do and I'm surprised more aren't supporting this. Oh well. Thanks for your comments.

[quote name='Patrick' timestamp='1366279912' post='293517'] Do you mean a right click option on people's names to automatically make the chatbox active and type "Name: " for you? [/quote] Yes, exactly. As seen in the first image I posted in the OP. [i]Sorry, I didn't see this part of your post earlier.[/i]

[quote name='Deshar' timestamp='1366281512' post='293535'] I'd just use copy, paste and use a short hand name. [/quote] That works. But what about when you're talking with multiple people at the same time? Just keep re-copying and re-pasting over and over again?

[quote name='Patrick' timestamp='1366279912' post='293517'] I believe Deshar doesn't understand the effective difference between this proposal and "Nosferatu: Blah blah blah blah." in Global. Do you mean a right click option on people's names to automatically make the chatbox active and type "Name: " for you? [/quote][quote name='Deshar' timestamp='1366279958' post='293518'] The idea is clear, the point of adding it is not. [/quote] Right, this makes more sense. The point of this system would be to eliminate the annoyance of having to type in a player's name every time you wanted to direct a message at them. Yes, you can type in a player's name and essentially accomplish the same thing...no big deal. But think about how much easier it would be to just right-click > reply. Think about how much easier it would be to participate in group discussion. Think about how much easier it would be to read group discussion. I don't know about you guys, but I hate looking at the chat and not knowing who's talking to who. And I especially hate having to keep typing in a player's name to direct my message at them, especially if the player has a long and/or weirdly spelled name. Look, this isn't a super-awesome-OMG-ThisWouldMakeTheGameSoooMuchBetter idea, I know that. It's not meant to be. This would simply be to make a common task a little easier.

[quote name='Deshar' timestamp='1366279431' post='293511'] The idea is clear why would there be a need for everyone else to see the comment? [/quote] You say the idea is clear, but then you ask why there would be a need for everyone else to see the comment. If the idea is clear to you, then you should already know the answer to that question. That question has already been addressed, also.

[quote name='Squall' timestamp='1366279341' post='293508'] Plain and simple. I love him! ;3 [/quote]

Here's my little dude: [img]http://i.imgur.com/Ofq3uDp.png[/img]

[quote name='Deshar' timestamp='1366276139' post='293480'] If you're directing a comment at someone specific, why would there be a need for everyone else to see the comment? [/quote] I can't make it any clearer than I already have.

[quote name='Emlee' timestamp='1366246786' post='292774'] Welcome to PokeMMO and the Forums. [/quote] Thanks.

[quote name='CipherWeston' timestamp='1366243979' post='292640'] I'm following. [/quote] I'm glad we're now on the same page. [quote name='CipherWeston' timestamp='1366243979' post='292640'] it seems silly to me. A public reply, that's directed towards a user. I don't want to sit in Global and see people having conversations with one another. [/quote] That's your opinion. I'm sure people who enjoy being involved in group discussion can see where I'm coming from.

[quote name='CipherWeston' timestamp='1366243372' post='292612'] Why would you put it there if you just admitted that the staff like to answer publicly, therefore not wanting to use your suggested in-game chat reply. [/quote] The whole point of this suggestion is to be able to reply publicly. You know how chats get overwhelmed with messages? And you know how sometimes it's hard to tell who's talking to who? This would combat that. People could 'reply' to others and have their messages directed at the person they want their messages to be directed at, publicly. And yes, as has already been stated, you can just type in the person's name along with your text. But this can be very annoying to do over and over again, especially when replying to multiple people, and especially if those people have long/annoying names to type out. [quote name='ProfessorElderberry' timestamp='1366243744' post='292629'] would the reply be broadcast for everyone to see? [/quote] Yes. [quote name='Mariout' timestamp='1366243753' post='292630'] his idea is that the reply would be public but directed at a designated person. [/quote] Exactly!

SUP!

[quote name='kloneman' timestamp='1366233730' post='292169'] look forward to seeing you around! [/quote] You, too, buckaroo!

[quote name='CipherWeston' timestamp='1366242572' post='292580'] Then what's the point to this suggestion? [/quote] Have you not read anything I've typed?

[quote name='iSmashbro' timestamp='1366240366' post='292505'] Right click -> Whisper [/quote] CMs/GMs like to answer publicly.

A couple things I'd like to add: [b]#1.[/b] For those who agree with iSmashbro's above post and think this is the same thing as whispering, it's not. Replying in game would be similar to quoting on the forums. Why quote people on the forums when you can just PM them? Because you'd like to engage in discussions with more than just that person, right? Same thing with this reply system. [b]#2.[/b] This would make it easier for CMs/GMs to answer questions. Instead of having to type in the player's name, which I'm sure can be quite annoying/time-consuming with the amount of questions they answer, they could simply click 'reply' instead. [i](I also replaced the old images with new ones which better show this system's usefulness.)[/i]

[quote name='Nakakami' timestamp='1366211541' post='291278'] Welcome to the forum! [/quote][quote name='Akshit' timestamp='1366211859' post='291288'] Just welcoming you is all whats up !! Enjoy tha stay !!! [/quote]

[quote name='fabel' timestamp='1366208373' post='291168'] this would be nice for when you're trying to reply in a conversation in global, so you dont have to type "@Person" or "Person," [/quote] Exactly.

[quote name='iSmashbro' timestamp='1366208237' post='291165'] What's wrong with whispering? [/quote] Nothing. [quote name='iSmashbro' timestamp='1366208237' post='291165'] they both do the same thing [/quote] No, because whispering is meant for 2 people, whereas a reply system would be meant for more than 2 people(group chats).

[quote name='iSmashbro' timestamp='1366207394' post='291144'] Welcome [/quote] Thanks.
