Please incorporate a way for players to leave messages for other non-clan players. The Siptah Lectern would be great for this.
The rational for this suggestion is as follows:
- It could improve the server community by allowing greater communication for players
- It could add new aspects to the game such as as “Visitor’s Log” or other RP uses.
- It could cut down on players unexpectedly being base wiped or banned due to a TOS breach.
This last rationale I’d like to touch on a bit more…
When players build, it’s easy to lose sight of the TOS. It’s also easy to overlook how their build might impact others or the overall server performance and playability. Having a way for a player to leave a note to a base owner communicating such things as:
- Please pull back your wall from the path up front, you are likely violating the TOS.
- Your 8 foundation wall high over this large of an area, is creating significant lag for me when I enter this area.
- Your use of fence foundations spiderweb throughout the grid, is possibly violating the TOS.
- I have noticed potential TOS violations with your build, please reach out to me and I can help to offer suggestions.
– etc. etc.
I’ve heard time and time again from the offending/wiped/banned player that they had no idea why the action was taken from them. Likely someone reported them to funcom to investigate. If the reporter had a way to share these concerns with the base owner of concern beyond when they are both logged in, I think that would go a long way.
The intention of course is to improve communication and build community. I tend to believe people don’t intentionally want to diminish the enjoyment of the game of others.
Lectern or other item used for this purpose could allow for a couple of line note to be placed and be time date user stamped from the player leaving the message.
Just something to consider or debate.
