Hey BigD

 

Not sure If I'm allowed to start a new thread about this but here goes.

 

I think the "Don'T talk on Global Rule" is getting a bit loose.

It could just be me but I think they're too many globals nowdays.

Somebody types something up on Global intentionally then it just goes

on and on and gets worse.

 

It May possibly be the new players globaling so I reckon we make the

rule clear by being more strict. I do understand this is no easy task but

hope we could get the global silent as it was.

 

 

Thank you

My 2 cents... (which is only really worth half a cent, cause I haven't played in so long)

 

A strict 'no global' policy takes a some of the real lot of the 'fun' elements out of the game.

 

I think a certain amount of Global should be allowed in order to keep the 'game' in the game. I would like to be allowed to give the occasionaly ribbing to the enemy, or comment on some spectacular or surprising death...

 

Having said that, I'm all too aware that 'a certain amount' is incredibly hard to enforce...

 

...but that's why we have such highly paid admins

 

 

I've got no idea how bad the curret global spam is - but enforcing the use of 'in-game related' Globalling sounds easy enough. ie. You can't Global about your gfx issues, or what you're having for dinner.

yes but this ammount of globaling has turned a game of what is supposed to be teamwork, into somthing that resembles squadded COD, they all try to get the highest KDR and brag before completing objectives, one or two replies to the original post every 10 or so minutes is fine imo, but not 2-3 minutes, its distracting and not really helping new players learn where the squad chat button is. a little warning every once in a while is definetly needed. otherwise you will just get people camping the same spot spamming BOOM HEADSHOT! over global..

Global chat is distracting and does nothing but irritate when used to

rib the other team or brag about achievements on the digital battlefield.

Chat is instrumental in sending and receiving tactical information and

general battlefield intelligence. It is not that difficult to maintain some

level of personal discipline about not blabbering away wantonly on Global.

 

Making things more strict or more lax will not make a difference because

there are always a certain number of individuals with a limited ability

to restrain themselves. When people start blabbering and gibbering on

global and an admin starts warning or putting up the green text about it,

it doesn't take a lot of brains to work out that if you are the one blabbering

or if you feel that you want to add your two-cents, don't be at all surprised

if someone kicks you from the server. Sometimes the wrong person may be

(or feel that they have been) kicked. That's a pity, but after a kick it usually

settles things down. (After a ban, even more so.)

 

When one person globals without due reason, a lot of others follow soon

after. It becomes a bunch of squealing, whining, tantrums very, very

quickly.

 

Use the forums for questions and issues. Use the !report function to report

perceived wrongdoings.

 

If it is really important and affects everyone, use Global chat. Don't over-do

it though. A bad example from last night was something like:

"well, I have had enough for now, I'll be back later" or similar on global. Sorry, no one

cares but you. Use Squad comms or Teamchat or VOIP for such gems

of global irrelevance.

 

If you want to joke around, find an appropriate teamspeak channel or

set up another appropriate communications technology between you and

your friends.

 

It's a game and is meant to be fun. What makes Reality Mod fun is that

the majority of us take the tactical gameplay seriously and in this mod

have found a great teamwork-oriented way of playing this out. If you prefer

something a little more comical, try COD.

 

p.s. Wall of text from frustrated admin who works at night and doesn't get

to play much atm.

thought it was a poem sandy

It gets pretty bad occaisionally. But it doesn't even have to be an admin saying "that's enough global" people generally shut up if you ask them

 

Personally, I prefer my 4 lines of text to be relevant team chat rather than irrelevant global bragging

Sandy pretty much summed my thoughts up - minus the admin side of things.

I've read enough of this forum today, I might be back later guys... cya

:taunt:

I'd have to agree with Jacky, Globalling on the servers is getting worse.

I won't drop names but a certain clan does it A LOT more then others.

 

It's distracting and usually causes more unneeded drama and issues on the server, Honestly we should adopt the rule we had for the World cup and only allow the commander to be talking via global but only then to settle disputes between the two teams.

 

Honestly I think players should be taking the higher road and just sticking clear of globalling all together, Yes I can understand that "Oh that was an awesome shot" but it doesn't mean that you have the right to then spam global claiming your a 1337 sniper. Same goes for ANYTHING.

 

Thats my 2 cents.

I think that using a moderate amount of Global is okay, as long as its before the round starts. I don't find it irritating then. Also if someone needs to notify his squad that he was teamswitched ect... as long as its short and sweet.

 

But when people start chatting about their kills, games, cars and life....come on, thats what Facebook is for.

I agree with everyone who is saying, "Global is bad for bragging"...however..

 

Once, I was globalling because I had a potential glitch with my game. (Couldn't open squad menu or something...I forget) The problem then fixed itself, so I said so. I had a couple of lines of joke (about the fact I was doing something stupid, not much even) and I got about 3 people saying, "Stop global chatting!) All I was trying to do was cover my ass in regards to a glitch which fixed itself, no bragging, nothing. But meh, whatever...

This is my point of global from a player side.

 

the only time you really need to talk over global is when asking for an admin, but try team chat first, or ask your squaddies if they know of any admins on.

 

everything else you can use functions for in the AD framework. !r function works the best.

 

if you get teamswapped, and you were in my squad, i'll always know because you left my squad, then ended up on the other team..

 

at the start of a round, global is fine, but try to finish before the timer hits 0:00..

 

everything else is not needed.. admins will always correct if this arises..

I love a small amount of mid game banter, I'm infamous for it. As long as it's not slander or bragging then I don't mine it what so ever.

Though there is always a limit. Don't have a damn conversation just exchange a few sentences.

That didn't quite work on Kashan

Glad it wasn't only me thinking it was getting worse

 

IMO I think there should be no global at all except some polite GGs at the end

Bad luck Xavo - Vapo didn't cover your alias very well. Your nicked (when I get back)

Gah, I was hoping no one would notice :sweat:

 

 

Time for me to leave... :plane:

Vapoman's point/lil montage , is also one of the main reasons we don't like pointless global, it also means the admin messages may get pushed off the screen, ah well too bad if you didn't see the server message warning you not to global cos you were globaling too much. :not_i:

 

 

I generally let global slide (to a point) when there are less than 20 peps on, after that ..........

 

And Gloating in Global.... we aren't a fan of that at all , as a few people have found out recently..

I know , warriors can global people in one set of abilities, Blizzard should nerf them!

 

oh wait..........

I haven't thought it was that bad lately, just a new face or two saying something here and there or so i thought. What i HAVE noticed is no-one replies to tell them off because when you DO, you get people yelling at you or someone tells you to shhhh.

I love watching people Global spam, then laugh my face off when they get kicked

Global chat is there for one reason in PR: to say "gg" at the end of a round in my opinion. If admins are stricter on it I'm all good for it and VapoMan has a valid point with vital info being pushed offscreen. I reckon if players that global get a kick out off the server for indiscretion with the reason being for global chatter, then it could enforce the rule.
