Suggestion: Traveller symbol for traveller players

Some players are travellers as some of you will know. The move from coop to coop as needed to help out when asked but have no fixed abode.

We currently have a looking for/not looking for toggle option for players. Could we also have a traveller option so that coops can easily see from the player list who they can get temporary help from when needed?

    That's a good idea Rusty :)
    And if its then also would be possible to have a special search option (or filter) which do you only see travellers listet when you search for a traveller, I think it would be perfect.

    A good idea, but I believe the Mods have already stated that while Traveling is not discouraged, its also not a supported feature of the game. :/

    It would be much easier if the Travelers got together to make a sticky thread (with Mod help) where they could offer their help to coops. Just showing on the ranking list that they're a traveler doesn't let anyone know if they're active or not.

    Here's the thread you mean: Travellers' Services on Offer.

    Thank you, Pingo! I was looking for that and I couldn't find it. That should be good enough rather than adding a feature with possible bugs included. And can anyone remember the last time we had an add on to the game where there weren't any bugs? Me neither! BTW, thank you for helping coops in need as a traveller. ^^

    Edit: Saw that this sticky thread is in "players looking for cooperatives". Should be somewhere else I believe.

    Hiya everybody. :)

    On a non-English-speaking server, there's a thread in the creative corner of the forum where coops post when they are in need of travellers. Each post states which project is going on, how much of "whatever" is still needed and how much time there is left. Also, most posts state whether the coop is set to "open" or whom to message ingame to receive an invitation. Volunteers simply keep an eye on the thread and then help out.

    I saw the "Travellers' Services on Offer"-thread here and was thinking that it must take a lot of time and effort to send messages to all travellers in the thread, since coop leaders don't know when the travellers are online.
    To me, the example of the "emergency - coop needs help"-thread seems much easier for everybody. A thread here would however definitely need the server mentioned in every post.

    Since I don't want to join a coop at the moment but would be willing to help out with projects if needed, it would also save me time by looking at one thread rather than receiving .... possibly... tons of messages and apologising for not being online or having my inbox cluttered up.

    Perhaps this idea might work here, too.

    Have a great rest of the week. Shauny.

    You can tell when a traveller is online in the "Travellers Services on Offer" thread by just looking at the dot next to their username. If it's green, they're online. If you leave a private message for them, they will get it when they log on to the Forum. I do like the idea of a "Coops needing Help!" thread though. :)

    A lot of players don't use the forum so hence my suggestion.
