Co-op Chat/Discussion Area
Is it not possible to create an "area/room/thread" that ALL co-op members can access, and where ideas can be thrown around, strategy discussed and co-op matters can be thrashed out? There are other games that have that... I know we're not supposed to talk about other games, but it is a great feature. So, we do have a message system, and a chat, so why are those not enough?
1. Members not online at the time, does not see what is being said in chat. Also, what has been said scrolls away, so they can't look back on stuff said a long time ago.
2. Messages can only be (dreadfully) short. Then I have to consolidate ideas, reformulate them to fit a short note, resend, etc. It doesn't really allow for great discussion.
3. Not all members can access the forum, and even if they could, the forum message groups don't allow for enough people. (Some of my members have been unable to log into the forum for OVER A YEAR!)
4. Not everyone can/want to join discord.
5. I cannot force my members to use social media or supply their emails, though most of them do. It would just be so much more convenient to be able to do this in-game.
6. As a co-op where we like to share ideas and thoughts, it's frustrating to try and do so within the limited means of communication a co-op has. We all feel it would be great if there was a co-op "area/room/thread" that EVERYONE in the co-op can access at their own time, where ideas and discussions will stay, and where longer messages can be typed. A place where a strategy for say an upcoming Village Fair can be posted. A place where basic info for new members can be left (like gold lock, etc.)
So my members tasked me to suggest this. Apologies again if it has been done already.
Comments
You can talk to every farmer in all countries across the world
You then make your own server within it that is just for your co-op members.
More and more are doing so.
It is straightforward to join. Sounds complicated when written out but it is not
There is a FAQ to help HERE
We don't all want to join discord. We have older members who already find the technology overwhelming. They are brave enough to play - hats off to them - but the game is already so overloaded, they can't handle more screens and tabs and stuff. Some computers/connections can't handle it either.
Anyway it was a thought.
I don't remember it that clearly, but it did allow a few different chat sections. It didn't fix some of the problems you mentioned, but it did appear to be more usable overall. Unfortunately, it was never implemented.
I occasionally play another game where there can be up to 5 "chat sections" in-game (that is, while the game is active, without having to open an outside site or even a forum). Leader can add people to each section as desired, so one is always dedicated to leadership discussion. And what is discussed there remains for future reference.
Pity they never implemented it. In my opinion it would be a much more useful feature than a lot of other stuff that do get included. But of course it doesn't make them money, so that explains that.
