Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Add a visual indication that a pilot is at war on the character select screen before logging in.

Some pilots fail to realise they are at war, because there is no clear notification (except for a pop-up and mail, which can go unnoticed). Pilots should be aware at all times that they are at war, like a drill-sargent banging on the tents at the crack of dawn!

Of course, there are some pilots who spend their lives at war, so maybe the visual could be subtle, but still make the player aware before logging in.

Concept character select screen

Personal responsibility should be expected in-game by the actions the pilot takes while logged in. A war dec is a notable action/feature, and should be identifiable quickly and easily.

For example, a player who has not logged on for a week and is unaware of a war dec, and looses a ship within 5 mins, although the winning side will see this as a pro, the loosing side will not. This kind of gameplay is what can spearhead new players. (imo)

*checks watch* the troll didn't take long.

This is not a complaint from my end, this is a feature suggestion that might make things better for other players.
Wardec notifications can get buried within all the other notifications and mails. I'm simply suggesting a more noticeable notification that a pilot is at war.


Check my corps wardec history/killboards, and you'll see wardecs don't bother us haha

Honestly a more noticeable notification might be needed. Even with the new notification, it's possible for it to be buried under other's.


However I think you mock up is a little to...much? The System should just send on EVE-Mail rather then a notification.

Thank you for telling me how the Features and Ideas discussion forum works. This is a bad idea.

IT DOES!

I would prefer it if Smokey the Bear or Slimer would run across your screen at character selection if you're at war, shouting "DON'T LOG IN DON'T LOG IN YOU WILL DIE!"

It's a good idea, legit, but it's wasted on these people/forums.
Better off trying to reach out to the devs elsewhere; or maybe csm or something.

Your mistake was having any expectation at all for some level of cognition here.

I'm sure that dude with the gay-porno stache would abs. love having a bear run across his screen. Love it. With leather straps.
As for the dude with the douche goatee, I doubt people like him actually post anything original themselves. Pussies.
The rest just sideline, derail, or focus on something off the point, or contribute nothing. The **** are you dipshits talking about in game notifications here for?

"This is a bad idea" That's all he's gonna say? No explanation? On second thought, any thoughts he does have, probably not worth reading. Assuming he's capable of having any.

I mean, if it's a bad idea, I would love to hear some concise points on why. So far nothing.

OP put forth an idea that is seemingly observant and thoughtful, detail oriented. A legit "small things" type of feature. A nice touch.
It isn't a complaint. It's a valid and original idea.
A complaint is like, "I don't want to see carbon anymore in relic/data sites, they suck!"
OP made valid points.
The idea itself would actually be a nice touch, small details like that matter.

I don't see anyone else doing a mock up with how they think it should look, do I?

**** it, I would love it if I logged on and saw that, like damn right I'm in a war.

Yeah fair point,


Honestly I just don't like the mock-up. Something less inyoface about it, would be better.

EDIT:


It's not to hard to check if your at war, all I do is look at my corp info if I don't log in for a week or so. Just to be sure, however adding something like this in, isn't really a top priority. There IS already a system in place. However easy to miss it, it's still an automatic system message.

Personally like I said, I don't like the mock-up, but I would be okay with something along this nature. It would help newbro's out a lot, specially if there is a link on the screen explaining it maybe?

It sends an EVE mail - always has...And in a special little section so it does NOT get mixed in with all your Corp, Alliance and other mails:


XXX Against YYY
From: CONCORD
Sent: 2016.07.06 20:08

XXXX has declared war on YYYY.
Within 24 hours fighting can legally occur between those involved. If war is due to a corporation at war joining an alliance, then the war starts immediately instead.


So, what other crutch do you need?
