Re: About time for a GUI update

How? I thought you need a registered netgamers pnick in order to get into +i channels?

If you can get onto the comunit, you can go to the netgamers website and register yourself an account. Dedicated clients have more features but honestly I doubt many people really use all that many of them.

So you don't have an auto perform list for instance.. I think this is just one major example about what the the com unit really lacks to be a full irc client replacement. Hence I ask for an improved com unit.

Re: About time for a GUI update

Why would you need a perform list when you can set everything to autoinvite anyway?

It might be a convenient feature but it hardly makes and IRC client required in any way.

Re: About time for a GUI update

in order to use autoinvite you need to be logged in with a pnick.

Try to convince new players to use something called a comunit where you have to enter cryptic commands every time they want to log in. It doesn't work.

We tried this when "The Horde" was alive. We've noticed that a lot of the players were just unable to set up irc, even com unit was too much for them.
The game need accessible communication tools. Else every new player will ask you "Why don't you use Skype?" which I heard about 50 times at horde.

Besides I am giving you direct feedback from our ex members which were mostly new to the game. I'm not telling you stories

Re: About time for a GUI update

Adding a line for P nick and password wouldn't be too hard and I agree it would be a nice addition. There are some security considerations, though, most significantly that they'd have to store the password either in plain text or (preferably) encrypted. You can't hash it (the usual approach to storing passwords), because hashes by their very nature are irreversible.

they can't use com unit? bloody hell how did they manage to sign up a planet? on a similar note how the hell do you expect them to use a bcalc if they can't use com unit? these people are lost causes and should stick to farm"vile" imo.

there is nothing wrong with the current com unit and if people aren't willing to learn how to use a tool to play a game to it's full potential why should people make it easier for them to suck?

Well, people just don't like to install another chat program i guess.
But the main reason why com unit was a pain is the +i issue and the lack of auto perform options.
Besides I think it is wrong to expect people who want to play to install and setup mirc which can really take a lot of you if you have no clue about tech. I've showed PA to a lot of friends and tried to win them as players but the feedback I got the most is it is not accessible and too complicated when it could be a lot easier.
