Global chat for PVPers?

1) Wouldn't it be nice to have a PVP chat (like the global/trade one with a switch button ON/OFF with a dedicated color)?

I guess it would greatly help to organised some Fight.

Yesterday we were like 8+ in sarn arena fighting each other for like 30mins which was really interesting and fun ( fight were somehow balanced ), but we couldn't launch a simple 3 vs 3, because some don't read normal chat (or just didn't care ) so we were missing some people to launch it.

2) If so, couldn't we have a system in that chat where for EXAMPLE you type :

/CTF3v3, a message would appear in that channel saying "NAME" is launching a match, then people who wish to join would type /join team1 or team2 or /join random i dunno. Then when it's full match goes on!

Wouldn't it be more attractive than waiting for years in that "not really good" matchmaker ? ( No offense but i can't stand in front it anymore even with dual screen )


It's just an idea... What do you think? Don't we miss something like this to expand PVP community on a simple way?



Spoiler

( PS : PVP Community in HLD has imo never been so alive, new people getting attracted by it since few months. Even if most people say its quite unbalance, i do have feeling than most of my fight nowadays are getting longer and more strategic ( Still few exeption ( hot / scold ))

I'm really enjoying HLD pvp after spending 2 years on my build ( i like to play my same build for so long even if i'm so far from any good metas lol), i'm part of those who think that PVP HLD is one of the true end game in POE. Most of the time when u check Sarn Arena in standard there's always someone to fight after afternoon!


Sorry, my english might look poor. (also i rarely post anything).)

expand PVP community on a simple way?

Do anyone really want to expand this community?

The simplest way to expand this community: make lvl 17 arc w/o supports oneshot 10k hp.
Scenario: lvl 60 summoner witch comes to the arena, occasionally kills someone, imprint that situation, here we go - new age pvper born.

2 years later the witch will flood the forum with "I'm the best, you know nothing about oneshoting ppl with lvl 17 arc".
Problem: impostor syndrome
Solution: nerf everything
Result: depressing mess

Weta, what the hell are you going on about? Lol. Please get some sleep and take your meds. <3

Royans, it's a good idea but I doubt anything will happen like that. The problem lies in the matchmaking and even if you had a good chat system in place, the match making is so sub par, you need everyone in sarn in order for it to work anyway and at that point just talk local.

Since this is already in place, I think the next best thing would be to send 3v3/ctf notifications under "PVP event notification". If there are at least 2 players queued up, then send a notification out to others that have the notification enabled in the menu.

I'm talking about avg. community member priorities : its 'easy winning' and 'self-praising' on forum. Maybe I'm wrong, but thats the only things I see on the arena and on the forum.

Any changes to matchmaking or special 'pvp-related' improvements to chat is just pointless. There are no 'recipients' for any 'pvp quality of life' changes. Most of the community members already got what they actually need - post 2.0 oneshot fest.

I'm sorry if my post looks 'negative' but that is the fact: adding pvp content is equal to developers resource wasting.

Geez...




On topic: You can always join a PvP guild to get access to the guild chat and meet other PvPers. It's not optimal but it's a damn good start.

I doubt it would take that much ressources to simply add a PVP chat or modify some little things which are already in place.


The idea is to make organised 3 v 3 (or more) more accessible to everyone, and so, develop the pvp community.


The actual matchmaker would have work if we were like 500 pvp players everyday, but it's not the case. It needs some change to work actually.

Well a guild chat would also work, but it won't help to develop anything, i mean for new players.
