Necessary improvement of the player list

The ignore button should be, as it does now already, block out the private messages by specific persons for every player himself and report the person awareness that his messages are not welcome. That already shortens the untoward jabbering a bit.

But the mute button, should definetly cut out anything of the person listed in there, be it the onscreen chat, guild chat or any other messenger possibility.

This is necessary, and should have been added to this game long ago. That would make the game so mutch more enjoyable, its everyone himself, who he wants to read and talk to, and who definitively not.

I for one would play Era a lot more given the option to ctrl a the playerlist and select mute.

Thats nice for Era, but it is badly needed on zone aswell.

Edit: Misunderstood the previous post above, sorry for that.

They would still find a way to harass you, like through name changes or with their friends or even through masses where everyone but you could read and someone tells you about it.

Just dont have enemys :)

That doesn't really change anything within that this is required. That would be like you say'd we don't need bans for hackers, cause they will find a way through it anyways.

It is not only annoyance and harassment, but also tons of mental garbage and other stateless special refuse.

Thats needed, and it would increase the enjoyment of the game for many people.

Sounds like an really interesting battle game. :asleep:

Zone isnt a Game, it is just chatting with Guns.

Zone isn't Graal, just a game with guns.

zone is only a small part of graal nowadays, compared to the playercount of classic servers atleast.

Until the person or people doing this harassment find another way to harass you..like hunt only you or get you through their friends or even on the forums. I explained to you (i think) that since no one is really face to face online that people will say anything they want because they know that the worst that can happen is a ban. Big deal they will find another game to play.

IRL though people wouldn't dare mouth off for fear of getting their mouth shut with a fist. I really do hope that graal don't have some live meet and greet...actually I take that back..i hope they do...it would be the most polite convention in the world because people would be afraid to lip off at each other.

speak for yourself

Erm, nice! Actually that makes the game interesting.
That is, what this personal mute command is of course aswell for.
Would save up diskspace and time, taping videos and taking screens.
Can't find any reason, not to implement this feature. It is simple but results a great advance.

It wouldn't be hard to script a mute function locally for the server. A clientside timeout/loop for players in the same level as you referencing an array (likely in a client. string) of people who's chat should not be seen on your screen, but again- that'd be scripted locally and obviously wouldn't be a built-in feature of the game.

I am pretty sure I saw something similar in the works on Era a while back, and again recently, but I am not sure what ever came of that or why it was never used. I think it was one of Crow's works before he quit. You could use commands like /mute Add Account, /mute Remove Account, and /muteList. Simple stuff.

That already happens, although it's not a message. They try to PM you and you don't receive the message and on their screen your name turns red or something. I think mute means no voice function? Iuno. I think if you can't deal with the remarks of a 10 year old that plays zone, you should just quit. You'd end up muting pretty much the whole server.

Crow was that awesome?Yay4Mrreplacevulcan.
