Question to NGD: New Commerce chat

_Enio_ · 04-14-2011, 10:51 PM

Is it intended that the Market Commerce chat is independent from the Inner realm Commerce chat?

I see why it might be, as is to prevent it to be used as chat with the Inner realm, this leads to the question, would it be bad if eg. at central save you could chat with the inner realm chat?

I imagine this would allow the veteran players to give advice to newer players way easier while at the same time not bring back the unwanted effects of a realm chat in the whole warzone (warning of incoming attacks etcetera) and the impact on network data would be limited since it would only relate to a small area.

Anyway, i appreaciate the current implementation already, just curious.

Would you ever consider merging the Warzone Commerce chat hot spots with the text from the Inner Realm Commerce chat?

I like the current implementation, too, (Low-level traders and high-level traders don't need to see each other's spam :P)
I just think you should be able to use the chat at the save. (Right now you have to be very close to the merchants)

/edit: 3 replies in 2 minutes, wow ;D

I like the current implementation. The separation is a good thing as some players will simply use it as the " sub chat" as contact between inner and outer resulting in a flood of the channel between diverse groups which may not have anything to sell to each other. At the moment , the novelty of the channel results in some spam. I don't expect this to last too long (I hope) .

I do agree that the war zone commerce channel could be extended to the save point as it should not add too much more overhead. In this way it can reach much more players who just died, logging into game and so on. Trading has certainly taken a quantum leap the last few updates. It is a very positive direction. An auction house in the future will complete this process and bring this game on level footing with competition.

I think they got this right the first try.
This implementation opens the door for much more interesting features in the future like PM player from chat, add to party from chat, ignore and other features. Very promising update.
All in all , it works well, is not buggy (cross fingers) and is crisp and responsive on my system without any deterioration to frame-rate. As a side note I must mention that the account stash and character stash performance has improved as well.

Good job NGD.
