Multiplayer observations about Chat functions

from Sins Forums
Couple of idea's to streamline chat and logging into ironclad online...

1. Logging into ironclad online, any way we can get it to remember the last user-name entered? or have a save user-name and password check box?

2. Ping rates tab, can we have pings to players from some sort of multi player server console. The popups are great, but with ping-rates on screen all players could see who was lagging or not, instead of just guessing?

3. how about being able to right click on players and show info, like battles won, games played, maybe some kind of fancy ranking system for players? Maybe even throw ping info in there too! or the ability to private message like IRC. preserve peeps feelings that way. Would make it a lot faster to orginze games that way I think.

Anyways, hope too many of these topics have not already been brought up =/

I agree with all of the above.

In addition, I would like to see the ability to flip to lobby chat whilst being in the lobby of a hosted game.

As to #3, I'd expect that's already in place (or planned), but is just one of the things disabled for beta 3. The servers already track all the stats in the background so IC can see what sort of games are being played, how long they last, etc.

In-game you just press enter to chat. From there you can press TAB to cycle around the different people you can whisper to (all, allies, specific player).
