Just a Simple request.

Being able to see a friend who is online and in a game, but not being able to send them an invite unless they are between matches is annoying. Especially when they are only in between games for a few seconds before they hit launch again.

It would be great if you could invite them to a group and they recieve it after their current game finishes.

And maybe nice also to leave the chatbox open on the after game score screen.

A pop up while I'm in a match? No thanks.

A pop up chat box that shows when you leave a match and drop into the mech lab so you can say " hey wanna team up " rather than the tiny flashing social box. Sure.

Also VOIP is a wonderful thing.

Even simpler, after a match, if you have an invite, make it open the social panel. That way you'd have to close it to launch, so you'd have to see the invite tab glowing and who's online. It does suck sitting around for 10 mins waitin on a friend just to watch him go back in a match again cause he didn't notice he had an invite.

VOIP is great, but i don't trun mine on if im playing by myself and don't think my friends are comming on.

I also like to drop with some friends and even with random people I meed in game, but don't care for running an additional voip just for the hope to drop with them.

My hope is that this will be headed in the right direction with the UI overhaul that is underway so that we can chat right in the game which will make it a far sight easier to collect teams on the spot.

good idea, hopefully in the soon to come UI overhaul. The whole frontend needs to be redone, the social button is terrible

Perfect, just what i was thinking

Update: I've noticed since last patch that now group invites stay open and people can respond to them and join group after playing a game. But you still cant send them to someone who is in a game.
