Some generic social features that would greatly improve the game’s experience.
Below concept on how it would look in-match if you just press ESC or just in regular menu.
Friend list :
- Addition of “Status indicator”, to let people know what you are interested.
- Friend “current game/match” or if in “menu indicator”
- Friend “last online indicator”
- Friend’s portrait
- Friend “last online indicator”
- Military rank indicator near friend’s name
Chat window:
- Addition of basic chat with friends
- Multiple tabs per friend chat window
- Time stamp of messages
- Tab green pulse indicator for new mesages
- Invitation notification in chat and “Join party button” when invited, so invites don’t disappear so easy.
- At the bottom right, “+ add friend to conversation button” and “invite to party” button
- Bottom right corner, “resize window” (corner dots)
I am very surprised such basic features are not present yet in-game.
There are plenty of times where you are invited by people into parties and you don’t have a way to talk to them before joining unless you have them as friends on outside platforms, which is not ideal.
