For the love of all that is holy I think Soldat needs in-game chat. I'm not talking like in-game while killing people chat. I'm talking, while looking for a server you and your buddies, or teamates, can find the same server without having to use a telephone. You can also keep in touch with people you have met in actual games. I just hate calling up my friend when trying to find a server and be like "hey i am at *&^%GMBHIUI*&^%$ server for me.....they are playing CTF hurry up and find it before it fills, and then have to wait in silence while he makes me respell the server over and over again. This addition to Soldat would make them a BAMF, if you will.

So, basically, to sum it all up - You want to be able to chat while looking for servers in the lobby.

DakAttack · « **Reply #2 on:** July 01, 2006, 09:25:57 pm »

sorta, but more sort of AIM-ey where u have a buddy list to see whose on and in the lobby and what not...just make it easier to play with your friends

Eagles_Arrows · « **Reply #3 on:** July 01, 2006, 09:31:27 pm »

Well, a majority of us use X-Fire for this sort of thing.

Yes it does. Hold scroll lock + X.

DakAttack · « **Reply #7 on:** July 01, 2006, 11:07:12 pm »

it didnt work for me either

Jessica · « **Reply #8 on:** July 02, 2006, 12:22:34 am »

Well even though some of us do use Xfire, or some other kind of communication, a buddy list would be nice. Because for some people, they don't want to download more crap to their computer.

T-Bone · « **Reply #9 on:** July 02, 2006, 02:14:16 am »

i have xfire as well, and i dont usually have problems with soldat when they're both running

Mr. Domino · « **Reply #10 on:** July 02, 2006, 05:08:11 am »

I'd imagine Soldat's lack of a registry database on some centralized server would kill this idea.

In deed, you got Xfire which is really good to seek one person on a server.

DakAttack · « **Reply #12 on:** July 02, 2006, 10:15:01 am »

I mean i have X-fire but when my buddy isnt on then no one is on and its sortof hard in game to be like 'hey buddy can i get your xfire that would be wonderful' and plus they could make it where only the people that register get use of the chat program... shiiiiiii id pay 9 bucks for all of that then....but not for an mp3 player

[R^M]TomaHawk · « **Reply #13 on:** July 02, 2006, 10:54:24 am »

I gots teamspeak

DakAttack · « **Reply #14 on:** July 02, 2006, 06:21:54 pm »

Dont you have to pay for that??

Kinky noob · « **Reply #15 on:** July 02, 2006, 06:29:59 pm »

No.

Do you guys mean VOIP?

T-Bone · « **Reply #17 on:** July 02, 2006, 06:37:08 pm »

it would be cool to have an ingame friends system. But like its been said, soldat is a simple game, and its simplicity will stay. plus xfire rocks

ds dude · « **Reply #18 on:** July 02, 2006, 08:20:55 pm »

well duh why do you think it says turn off everything in the background while playing soldat

thats why you should find server then go to it then shut off x fire other wise the lobby wont respond this would porbably happen to some poeple that have a weak computer.

The Snipes · « **Reply #19 on:** July 02, 2006, 09:28:16 pm »

*loads xfire*
*starts soldat*
*lalalala*
*comp crashes* ummm i've made my point (if indirectly)

DakAttack · « **Reply #20 on:** July 02, 2006, 09:44:01 pm »

How would a chat system make it un-simple if thats a word. All im saying is if they add a chat system theyve got my 9 bucks. it would actually make the game more simple and more fun and more friendly...they need to consider this

The word you're looking for is 'complicated'

SDFilm · « **Reply #22 on:** July 03, 2006, 05:31:53 am »

You want MSN.

You actualy used the telephone?

Nightcrawler · « **Reply #23 on:** July 03, 2006, 06:40:03 am »

Use MSN. It's easy, fast and reliable.

Sotija · « **Reply #24 on:** July 03, 2006, 07:54:55 am »

I agree with Jessica...But seriosly we need In-Game chat!

Spasm · « **Reply #25 on:** July 03, 2006, 08:33:36 am »

I strongly support this. Especially the buddy list thing would be great for clans. You can see what servers your buddies are in, and if it isn't full join right in.

They? Soldat is being worked on by one guy. Do you think it's that easy?

DakAttack · « **Reply #27 on:** July 03, 2006, 02:22:32 pm »

...wow...did you really just get uppity because i said they instead of him....Christ that is nuts......and i think that they can put a chat system in for the people that pay 9 bucks a month easy or not its a good idea thats all im saying

People don't pay 9 dollars a month, they pay a one-off fee of 9 dollars. Additionally, Michal Marcinkowski does not program Soldat for a living, it's a time consuming activity he does alongside studying at university. In future, bear this in mind before claiming something should be implemented whether it's 'easy or not'.

Dascoo, thank you for standing up for the fact that Michal is only one guy, but try and be less aggressive. You could present your argument in a much friendlier way, opposed to virtually trolling as you just did.

GluLm · « **Reply #29 on:** July 03, 2006, 04:58:37 pm »

Including a lobby chat system would be nice indeed. Never thought about that but I think it might be usefull actually. Some kind of IRC as another tab next to "Quit" tab for instance.
That way people from all around the world looking for a game together would meet in one place... This would require some operators and stuffs... That's if Michal M. decides to get himself an IRC server which I doubt he'll do. :P
Therefore, no.

Good idea but impossible to set up technically. Unless you get some kind of friend-list as Jessica mentioned (could involve static IPs as well, why not...) . Ask M.M. personally he'll tell ya. :) _{guess his answer first hehe}

DakAttack · « **Reply #30 on:** July 03, 2006, 05:26:30 pm »

i didnt mean a month hahah my bad im so used to saying a month because i work at a video game retailer and i have to let people know how much mmo's are monthly my fault....

i dont know much about computer stuff but is this idea even possible

viggoloniggolo · « **Reply #31 on:** July 04, 2006, 06:45:14 pm »

mmmm, now this is a worthy idea, I get a lot of msn blibg-blingin (600 contacts)
and I dont want to turn off msn so i must suffer, the idea is great.

Headless Sniper Ex · « **Reply #32 on:** July 04, 2006, 06:54:40 pm »

lol

i think that would be a great idea like starcraft witch has that on battle.net

Kinky noob · « **Reply #33 on:** July 04, 2006, 07:29:34 pm »

I would Pay 10 US dollars for this thats how helpful it would be and what if u could serch servers by name and stuff or admins this would also help seriuosl DO IT

DakAttack · « **Reply #34 on:** July 05, 2006, 01:41:23 pm »

Does the creator ever look at this when thinking of ideas for the next update or whatnot?

Sethamundo · « **Reply #36 on:** July 05, 2006, 11:11:13 pm »

A buddy list and an out-of-server-chat would be pretty cool...
You've got my support!
