Parties
« on: May 16, 2013, 11:33:43 pm »
Hey all, got this game a few days ago, and am loving it so far.

One thing that I think needs to be implemented is a party system, where you can party up with your friends and all drop into the same game, whether through the lobby or the Quick Match feature. The reason I say this is, I have several friends who play this game, and we play nightly. But it can sometimes be hard to find a game, as either the game is too full, or it's way too empty and will take an hour to start, or there's not enough empty slots on a ship to have my friends playing on the same ship. So it took a lot of doing to actually get us all into a game on the same ship.

Now, I don't know if this is feasible, but I really think some sort of party system would dramatically improve the game for groups of friends who decide, hey, let's play a game of GoIO.

Oh, awesome! EDIT: My teammates and I are presently 'oooh'ing and 'ahhh'ing over this piece of info. No exaggeration.

Another thing I forgot to mention was the chat window. It would be really nice to filter out incoming messages by global, team, crew, or party.

I know Muse is aware the chat needs some touch ups, especially now with the larger community. I think someone said they are working on that too but don't quote me on that, hopefully someone else can come confirm.

I heard they are ditching the new mine-gun thing in the next patch and are instead going to add a big party popper and some disco lights that take up a light gun slot, and a giant disco ball that takes up a heavy gun slot. And maybe some giant speakers too.
