Scout Messages

Post by jouldax »

I know this is not a new suggestion, but if we plan to keep npc's, can we please separate human pings from npc pings? Just changing the color of the scout message and putting them in two different stacks would be enough.

I would also agree to having two types - NPC and human player pings. Perhaps the NPC pings could be turned off/on depending on whether a player wanted to hunt NPCs or not?

Actually, in this one I disagree. The purpose behind the NPCs was to provide more activity and movement in the game to make up for the decreasing numbers of players.

Leave the pings as is because frankly if you are hunting you should take the time to check your log and see who it is regardless of whether it is an NPC or not. I am ok with sorting NPC deaths and such in the news and HOF.

I'm with GD, with the addition of the the [NPC] tag is it really needed?

I am fine with leaving scout pings as is, they are already sortable where you can delete specific player pings.

As long as the NPC tag now shows up in the scout ping, I'm more ok with it.
