Where would this go?
Well you see the GXP bar which is way to long ? How bout we reduce the size of the GXP display bar and expand the social button to include a chat feature? or just make the chat its own tab that players can pull up/close. Now the chat feature should be pretty simple. Should have some kind of general chat and a clan chat (when clan tags are implemented). Private chat should also be part of this, i would like to be able to pull up my friends list, right click on it and pull up chat asking them if they wanted to group up. Or even talk to them bout there day.
In game Voice over IP/Quick chat selects.
Now Im pretty sure this idea is a maybe at best. But in MechWarrior im sure we can agree on the single fact that it is a team game that requires communications to fully enjoy it. Right now as it stands we can only chat to people via text. Im not sure if the C3 chat function actually works so if it does then this can be ignored.
Now when i mean in game chat selects I am talking about the system used in games like TF2 and WoT when you push a hot key it pulls up a menu that has a lot of different general statements in it like Enemy Spotted (Show location on grid here) or it would show Help! (Show user location here). These things would help greatly!
The In Game Map
Okay i dont know bout the rest of you guys but i tried pushing B in game. It pulled up a large map. But by far my biggest problem here with it is the fact that it chooses to show these MASSIVE indicators for where players are, and it ends up looking like a big mess. Would it be possiable to reduce the size of the markers? by oh I dont know.. 3/5ths? I dont use glasses to play. I am sure there is a large number of us that dont. So why are these markers so big ?
This stuff here is pretty small over all and i dont think it would be hard to fix?
Full Screen Client When Out of Game
Personally this thing bugs me a lot. Why cant i put this into full screen?
It would over all make it so much nicer to use. Th mechs over in the bottem right hand corner could appear large with more detail. It could also allow for more room to add things to the menu (Like oh i dont know. a chat feature!
) It would also make the interface a bit better for navigating as all the icons would appear larger A little bit more info on these other tabs would be awesome as well!
The store/faction Tabs. These have been sitting empty for a very long time and we have not gotten much info on it. Im pretty sure the store tab is self explanatory. But the factions tab, what is this? Will it contain a galaxy map that would show the inner sphere and where units are fighting for territory? Would it contain a chat feature or anything like that? would it allow us to choose a faction and possibly get a benefit for doing so? (An example of this would be discounts for that factions mechs that are from it.[like 15% off a Jenner for people in the combine] or equipment)
These are just a few little ideas that have popped into my head over the time playing this. Would be awesome to get some feed back on it or a dev response even
