View Full Version : Request for global OOC on Green BETA

I think global OOC would be a good channel for the few noble souls that are pushing to mid-high level on green beta to discuss items worth bringing to the attention of devs, before going out and making threads on everything (or worse just not bothering to report them).
I've encountered a few things that make me think I should open a thread, but they're small and my actual classic experience is patchy, so I'd rather pose a question to the wisdom of the community first (we all know making threads is very scary and super serious). I joined a guild for this, and that helps, but it just makes me think a server-wide OOC would be even more useful.
Yes people will use it for lfg, trading, and banter, not just bug discussion. I think that's acceptable. Log it for dev purposes.
So, yeah global ooc on BETA, (not actual green of course). Maybe not now, but at some point in the next few days? We are gonna hit launch real quick here.

I would be fine with just /auction. I think the lack of these two was more about resources server side than anything else.

Allowing people to talk more easily I think would drastically cut down the amount of duplicate bug reports.
Would also allow easier testing of things

We have discord now. There's no reason imo.

I voted yes for global OOC for the beta.
I don't enjoy hearing youz guyzes voices definitely hurts my immersion.

Had global ooc for blue launch. Didn't like it when we had a few hundred people. Definitely not going to like it when we have a few thousand people. No thank you.

Way to many people asking for things only related to their starting area. No reason for global OOC the first 30 days.

Agree about global OOC and hopefully cutting down on duplicate bug reports.

Sitting here regenerating hp on Green. Can confirm would prefer a Global Chat. For Beta.

This. Often as not I’m in a zone by myself. Sitting there bandaging yourself gets old really quick, and lets us talk about what we’re seeing hopefully without spamming the fuck out of the bug report forum.

omg, I really hope the /auction channel here isn't full of barrens chat. The spam is so bad in classic WoW that you can't even use the channel for trade purposes. Damn attention whores.

I just want consistency in my channels, so I can use them without struggling to read around the unrelated word vomit that belongs in other channel(s).

Why not just make a discord server?

or use the green channel on the p99 discord... like most people are doign
You guys are asking the devs to do something that requires work, when they are crunched with tons of real problems to solve for the real server that you want to play on next week. Seems pretty stupid.

It already exists on red so might not be any major work actually.

It confirmed takes zero seconds to allow global channels we had to go out of our way (as a community) to disable global chat channels.
That said I definitely don't care about this. Beta almost over and forums are a great global OOC channel.

Most of you are missing the point entirely. I don’t go on P99 discord and I’m absolutely certain a lot of other people don’t ether. If Bob the random player wants to get on and test and isn’t someone who frequents the forums or uses the discord he’s quickly going to be like “oh hey the book meditate isn’t in this should be reported”. That’s exactly what happened and why there was doZens of reports on it in the bug forum.
If bob had been able to be like /ooc hey guys meditate is broken!, the rest of Yu could have simply told him that and he could go on to do more meaningful testing
Legit don’t understand why so many people seem to be unable to think about things that are obvious

having spent the last day in the green discord channel, i am noticing a lot of people that aren't actually playing
nothing wrong with that, but global ooc for beta, ie a chat that directly connects the testers with other testers in real time so we can group, discuss, port around and do things, would be better for bug discussion than the discord or this forum is

We have discord now. There's no reason imo.
is there a general p99 channel on discord? Thought it was only guild channels in there.

I can't feel immersed if it's not in green text in my game window.

Outside of the popular zones, there is rarely any green text in our windows in this game. You should be used to it by now.

Really what it comes down to is that i dont want to tab to my discord window, taking me out of the game and interrupting my play experience.
Really though, it doesn't matter. Beta isnt gonna be around much longer anyway.

True, it is nearly over. Only 9 more days left anyway.
I use Discord on my phone, this way I don't even have to alt+tab out of the game.
