Global Chat for all maps\zones\instances

blue_peaceful_Manticore

Can we have one?

It's so boring travel from map-to-map shouting LFM vTrial xxxxx. Why can't we have a Global shout for all maps\zones\instances?!

To avoid abuse in this function, i tought in something like: This function can only be used for Raid leader and only when group have 8 or more players.

If this is specifically for spamming chat trying to get a trial group then we'd need a corresponding way to block those messages (without having to manually block each player) if you're not currently looking for a trial. Otherwise it sounds like it would swamp chat with irrelevant messages.

IMO a better solution would be a trial finder, ideally one that lets players actually choose a group from a list of those currently looking rather than just dumping you into the first group with a gap.

Trial finder like we have for Dungeons or Global chat or even anyother optionis 100% better then boring travel from map-to-map, get disconnect and spend 30 minutues shouting like crazy to get one group.
And with less people in game... it's even harder.

EVE Online is a good examples where chats are done right.
Area Chats, local chat, Help chat, Trade chat all "built in"

Neverwinter has all-instances zone chat, lfg chat, and a trade chat, and all were active optionally so if you wanted to avoid lfg spam or trade spam, you can simply toggle them off.

That would be a better solution IMO. Players could dial it in without needing to wait for the next "LF..." in zone or even global chat, and much cleaner.

guild chat go everywhere. I belive create global chat can be very easy if they use the same type of chat with small modifications.

You sure anyone would be able to see any of your looking for group messages when the chat gets filled with guild recruitment messages and willing to buy/sell messages.

And you can allways block that abuse or anyother way.

Only if it's optional. Any system like that us going to be spammed by people and I don't want to see it.
