Feedback and Suggestions / Mic/No Mic matches

« on: December 22, 2013, 07:29:34 am »

Over the last two days after returning, I've only found myself in one fun game, which was with some Cakes. They, thankfully, were using voice chat, and we did very successfully as a result.  However, almost every other game I have joined has silent crew on it, which not only is bad from a game point-of-view, but also from the point-of-view of having fun. There is nothing fun about a crew that is totally silent and running around aimlessly, as these all were. Even today after doing one match, I had to leave on account of the silent crew, with a silent captain whose only contribution to the whole game was to say in text chat "just do whatever, I don't care".

This is really a problem for those who do have the ability to use voice chat and are willing to.

Thus, I propose an added option for the match creation: Voice chat Yes/No/Either.

"Yes" would mean all must have a mic and are willing to use it.

"No" would be mainly for those without mics or those not willing to speak.

"Either" would be what we have now, a mix of those who speak and those who don't.


Thanks,

Mepic.

Well, judging by Muse's adventure mode concept art, it'd be something like this...

That looks EXACTLY like what I drew.

Yours was better!

Past airships didn't land to off board passengers and goods, they landed at preconstructed airship docks such as this.

Originally the large spire on the empire state building was intended for this function.  The planners unfortunately forgot to account for wind, oh and then that hindenburg thing happened.

Right, thanks.  But then, how would they get repairs done? The same dock?

World / How do GOIO ships land?!

So, I was walking along my merry way, when I almost fell over from the realisation that GOI ships would be next-to-impossible to land/dock.

Like, if they came down as hot air balloons would, the bottom structures would be damaged. For ships such as Spires, how would they land at all in that sense? Is there some kind of huge landing structure that would fit every single ship?

Are all ships in the GOI setting all of the same class? Surely there would be a lot of difference, especially with Junker-like ships, so how could these ships dock without breaking bits off?

I need to know this, else I will never be able to sleep again.

Having some full helms, even if it is a full helm made by glasses/hat combination, would be so good.

Perhaps something Mandalorian style...?

It'd be nice to have some realistic clothing for weather. So perhaps full facemasks, fur-lined coats etc.

But most of all, I would love a proper tricorn hat for males. Only the female one looks good!

I can get behind that.

The 'Master & Commander' tournament, similar to the Baptism by Spire tournament, except this time people can only use Galleons.

That would be interesting to take part of!

Generally a set type of ship (or combination of ships in a team) would be a really, really good event as it relies even more heavily on skill against your opponent.

That engineer is literally 420/69. Possibly the coolest outfit I've seen.

What about a lore tournament where each clan fights for one of the factions in the game?

that is interesting.

Isn't this going to happen in AM though?

I think some sort of Guns of Icarus World Cup would be an awesomely hilarious idea.

Guns of Icarus World Cup

World

Cup

But seriously, having a worldwide tourny would be ridiculously epic. I am 420% positive that it would attract loads of support cross-game, and generally it would be such fun. Individual countries could work, except for the fact that it might be a little bit duff as think of how many Americans and Brits play GOI compared with a lot of smaller countries: it'd be easier to represent smaller countries which might lead to slightly unbalanced competition.  However, as posted above by Gryhpos, it'd be worth it.

Outlast is really disappointing though... A shame, as one or two parts were REALLY good :/.

Far Cry 3 is all I'm playing right now (as well as GOI) thanks to having loads of work...

With the number of players online having dropped by 90% in the last few weeks, isn't this threa a bit moot? The "less then plesant players" took care of themselves it seems.

I noticed that too, but I'd blame part of it on school starting.

I know from some people (and I'm affected too) that the Mac problem hasn't been solved, so all the Mac players will be inactive until it's fixed...
