Should there be an Alliance chat option?

Instead of the whole zone reading "Far 911", it could by choice only be your personal alliance. Personally I think it would also cut down a lot of toxic insulting in zone chat. And help people coordinate.

No everyone should know what all the other teams are doing at all times and people being crappy to each other is constructive

    On Console, when you use ZONE chat in Cyrodiil you are only talking to your alliane @mateosalvaje is that different on PC then?

    And yes, its 100% better that way. unsure why you need to talk to the enemy. I guess perhaps thats why Console gets less salt / whispers / messages as its harder to actually do (i.e. make a note of their GT, go into Xbox message, find them, message)

    Another reason i'm 100% glad i'm on Console master race :)

    On PC, Cyrodiil chat is Alliance only chat. Only your alliance can read what you say.

    Now, that doesn't significantly cut down on zone trolls, zone generals, or the possibility that enemy players are spying on your zone chat using an alt, but we already have Alliance only zone/yell/say chat.

    Would be amazing
    Just imagine the hate, it would be extreme lol

    Tbh, it would not bring any good to PvP, just salt.

    Okay so maybe i'm dumb? I always thought zone chat in cyrodiil was zone based, not alliance based. I play console and I swear people from different alliances talk smack to each other all day. ALL DAY :/

    The issue isn't that other alliances can normally read your chat, they can't. The issue is all the dirty traitors that are spying on each alliance to report on movements. Don't they know it's only fair for my alliance to use spies to snoop on troop movements?

    On PC, its more like people from the same alliance talk smack to each other all day, with a leavening of cross-faction players who will talk smack to anyone.

    Zone chat is Cyrodiil is an interesting place.

    I think most replying are perhaps missing the point? Zone chat is often toxic. I read request as to have an alliance channel for calling keeps under attack, organizing and comms—free of the toxicity or off-topic nonsense that goes on in zone chat currently.

    I could be wrong though..
    ..it could by choice only be your personal alliance.

    what did you mean by this?

    I find this poll confusing. In PvP, you already are only talking to people logged in with the same faction.

    If you mean a separate chat for calling things out etc, NO. Its already hard enough to get people to listen half the time. Making them go over to a new chat area to hear call outs sounds like a pita. We would have even more people not listening, in my opinion.

    Also, I for one find my zone chat to be hilarious more often than not. We have some good people in the campaign I play in, and the couple of people that get to be too much are usually shut down pretty quick. I don't see this whole super toxic thing some people talk about.

    Sorry the poll is so unclear, I'll figure a way to take it down. I only play AD, so it must be filthy traitors in cahoots communicating with each other that's made me think all alliances can read and post in zone chat. "Only 2 AD defending Sejanus, let's take em down" is the kind of example that made me post the poll. An alliance locked campaign would do the trick.

    I thought that too originally, but nope zone chat is alliance chat.

    But people do switch alliances around what's going on. I'm all for alliance lock. Tho many are against it. And in fact its worse now swapping guest campaigns is free.

    Isn't this redundant? How is this different than a zone chat that only people in your alliance in your campaign can see?

    Just ignore people if you're seeing stuff in zone that bothers/annoys you.

    Join a PVP Guild. They will weed out the traitors and annoying people for you.
    That way your 'Alliance' chat idea is basically just guild / group chat as it is already.
    If your guild then also makes alliances with other guilds who are faction loyal - you have a network that you can communicate across to better help plan strategies etc.

    Pointless post ... It already behaves that way
    .. changing it would only do one thing ... Change the name of the chat not how it works
