Arena/Battlefield Communications

[Exmilio]

I had place this on the Feedback/Sugg Area but I still believe it would help and i figgured since it is about PVP and some would support this idea i figgured to post it here and give it a try with a poll.

I would say this idea would work mainly in Death match but could work also for Arena battles if the support is for it is liked. I noticed while in any PVP half the world can still contact you. If friends are whispering or using the buddy chat theres no way to stop in the middle of the battle and tell everyone your in a PVP. I think of changing it because there may be a teammate who needs help but in a flood of chat and messages you miss the distress call. Heres is my suggestion:

Automatically lock out all communications other then your team
When a player trys communicating with you it sends them a message stating “Player can not be disturbed”
Color code the chat so if your on blue its blue and if you on the red team its red.
If this idea is like but some and not others, you can use this idea by placing options to be able to disable the lockout and go back to how it is normally.
I wish to hear if theres is support or disagreements on the suggestion and/or if you have something to add to it.

I think there should be both a team chat, and an all chat. If you can't talk to everyone in a match, then it would be impossible to organize a player event in a pvp room.

Blocking all communications could be done better by just making a system to choose which types of chat you'll accept/deny in a menu. Some people like being able to hear friends/guildies(when it comes out) chating while they're playing in pvp.

I just think Deathmatch/PvP is more non-stop and requires minimal chatting to begin with. Ventrilo is more suited for team oriented game play. =P

If anything, Macro things such as "HELP ME!"

I believe thats what most do. But because people are still able to wisper you, the buddy chat system, and even the entire red and blue tem chat your HElP ME will get lost or found by the other team.

VOIP is a good tool to use as well but not many people will use it at this ponit.

I just wish the chat would lock out eveyone out other then the team chat so the calls from other teams are heard. and more would use the Marco system.
