valid Private messaging improvements

[sensei_tanker 3,098]

For the in-game chat, you know there is a drop-box and when you click on it, you are able to choose different chats? I think that we should add a private messaging system that will store messages between specific players. This will be a lot more convenient to chat with friends than hoping that both of you guys will be on the General 1 Chat at the same time.  

 

If you are banned from chat, you should still be able to retain your ability to send private messages to friends because the things you are chatting in the PMS will be private, so people won't have to see your spam/inappropriate stuff/third-party links. That said, friends can delete chats if they want to if their chat is getting spammed on or people are saying things that others are not comfortable with. 

 

More Specific Features:

- Messages will be cleared after a week of the post

- 1 friend can delete the chat if they want to

- You can only have 1 chat per friend. 

- In order to create chat, you have to select their name and then press "Create a Chat" 

- There will be no chatrooms full of multiple players. Chats will only host 2 players.

In this idea, a chat window can be opened between any players who are friends or in a clan.

 

During battle, the chat window would be closed but a little red icon could show when there is a message waiting, and the player receiving the message can access it if and when they wish.

 

Players would have the option of 1) Disabling private messages entirely and 2) Disabling private messages for when they are in battle. The player sending a message would be informed, if either of these are the case. 

 

There could also be a "block friend" option, where you don't wish to speak to that person right now, but maintain friendly relationship with them. In this case, the blocked person would receive the "player has disabled private messages" message, and not be aware that they are specifically blocked. 

 

As an option, perhaps for the future, this could be expanded to groups of friends, similar to a clan chat.

 

CERTAINLY I think players who are in a group for matchmaking but are not in the same clan, should have a chat window available to them while waiting for a battle.

Seen multiple versions and iterations of this idea in various topics. What you're suggesting is like Skype/Discord/Whatsapp messaging, but in Tanki, right? Where you can send a message to someone even if they're offline and they can read it and reply whenever they come online. Every friend chat is a separate private window (or chat channel) and you can see conversation history. It's a great idea, I'd love to have this.
