I love all of these suggestions! Especially the chat tabs cuz hell I always loose track of my whisper convos. I have one thing to say about the report system though.

In-game report systems are almost always abuseable. FH had one before but I think it was removed because it didn't really work. If it was re-added, I'm afraid people would just use it if they have some sort of grudge against someone, and it would be hard to find the legit reports. Also people could mass report someone when they didn't do anything wrong and the person could get punished for no reason. I think it just adds another step to the current report system.
"You will gain 1 Floof/Karma point for every reported player who is banned." Yeah this is very exploitable. People would go on mass report rampage for the smallest things just so they could get points, not for the safety of the community.

Yeah I'm a bit wary of the report system myself. Honestly, with enough moderators around and players to report bad behavior, I think we're good. Everything else though, heck yeah. I especially love the chat tabs.

These suggestions sound awesome! Especially the chat box buttons. I’d love to see these implemented into the game some time if it’s 100% possible :)

I'd love the idea of separate tabs for whispers as well. In fact, I'd personally enjoy it for any type of different chat (local, party, group). Perhaps with a toggle-able option to let buttons light up or slowly flicker when a chat you're not looking at gets a new message. Chat commands (especially /silence and /silence*) and game localization also sound lovely.

However, I also agree with WolfQueen and Azura about the karma system. Even if it's not intended to reward players, a counter that goes up for "good" reports (even if it doesn't do anything) may just make some players unecessarily eager to rack up a sort of "morality" or "staff's pet" score. It might help if this was implemented in secret and only visible to staff, but even then it's hard to decide how trustworthy individual in-game reports are at times since ways to supply evidence in-game are a lot more limited, so I'm not sure staff would get much mileage out of it.

Chat tabs would be a life saver. Can't count how many times I've accidentally typed something in the wrong chat while whispering someone ahaha. All of these sound like very nice quality of life changes.

Yup! Reminds me a lot of ESO as well.

@Deucaliorn I love the commands and the chat tabs. Excellent ideas!

In regards to the report feature, proper evidence needs to be provided for any bans to be placed so within that report feature would have to be some sort of screenshot interface after pressing the report button. The screenshots would have to show the details of the offense and if the offense was inappropriate character biography content, it would have to show that as well. Requiring screenshots for the report to send would also help us sort through the reports and be able to tell if a user is abusing the system (say, if they repeatedly sent screenshots with no offenses within them).
An idea:
A user clicks "Report"
then a dialogue box pops up that requires at least one screenshot to be taken but can allow for more.
Then the user can click "Done" after the screenshots are taken.
After the screenshot menu is closed, another dialogue box pops up allowing the user to type up a description of the incident and then send it. The screenshots from the screenshots folder then are sent off to the staff. Maybe this can be done! I'm not sure but it would be nice

I'm all for making reporting more accessible and user-friendly. ^^

I like the idea of sending the chat log and or screenshots, as well as how Morgra put it; it being sent off to staff to review and log before action is taken.

If someone continuously tries to report someone simply out of hate, action could be taken appropriately since staff would be able to review the data.

I imagine it would show up something like how the PMs works. You'd click on "Report Logs" and be brought to a list.

User 4's Report Log {New!}
User 1's Report Log {New!}
User 3's Report Log
User 2's Report Log

When you click on either user, it's like opening a thread or viewing your messages on the forum with a date and time of when it was sent. Once you click on a report (message), it would bring up all the data sent in the report.

Im mostly wary of these ideas because of these reasons.

I believe the chat command options would cause more players to leave the game because its 'new' and too complicated for the game and themselves. It would at least cause me and my friends to quit. If it an't broke don't fix it, thats my opinion anyway. Not to mention a post stating 'hey this is how to use these' would have to be made. New players would be deterred from the game or not even know how to chat. Plus more wrong chats would happen, causing spam and possibly even warnings and bans.

As for the whole in game report system I'm not sure how it could work like that? If there is no screenshot attachment how would the mods be able to tell if it actually happened? Not to mention some reports may result in an innocent player being warned, kicked, or even banned for something they didn't do.

Chat tabs are fine, but the chat interface may need to be fixed for the scrolling of them.

Chat Commands
I'm really digging both /clear and the /mod commands. I feel the /clear command will eliminate the time it takes to relaunch the game just to clear a cluttered chat, and the /mod command would help users understand that there are mods around even if they're hidden. I'm not sure I am fond of either /silence command just for whisper because I don't feel there is any good reason for it when there's a block button, but to save people the time maybe there could be a /block or /unblock command if people don't want to struggle to click characters that are lying down ('cause we all know that's a pain in the butt). However, both /w [username] and /g [message] are also really good commands. Also saves the effort of clicking characters that are lying down or submerged in piles among each other. Perhaps a /p [message] could be an addition as well. /info would also be a very productive thing to have, especially if a moderator needed to check out someone's bio when they're offline to check the legitimacy of a report or something. Generally extending variety to those who prefer to use commands rather than trying to click a character, buttons, or clicking through menu options seems rather like a bonus feature rather than it being an attempt to "fix something that doesn't need fixing".

Report System
As for the report system you suggested, it just doesn't seem as efficient enough for what is needed when it comes to evidence. I mean, I DEFINITELY think a report button should be included, however, the idea needs improving (not that your idea wasn't already a really good start). I vaguely understand what Morgra suggested, but from what I understand of it a user could take screenshots of the incident, hit the report button, type in the reason(s) why, and attach the screenshots taken already.

However, as straight forward and efficient as this sounds, it still isn't as close to 100% as it could be. If a report button were included, this means that anyone can make a report. Which of course is great. But my concern lies in those who take screenshots with their General/Local Chat Arrival settings set to 'Character Name' only, and how the actual report will reach the moderator's inbox on the forum. This is where the idea would now need to be improved even more just to prevent possible invalid reports when they could have so easily been valid reports if only the settings were correct.

From the top of my head, the most effective options I immediately see would be to:

Chat Tabs
Absolutely yes please very much thank you. I would love these. Though maybe an exit X to remove tabs that you no longer need? Other than that, I would genuinely appreicate this feature.



Smashing suggestions, Deu. +floofing to this for sure.

Thanks for your kind words! As for your concern about what might happen if this system gets implemented, in my defense, I have to admit that I was just throwing ideas around and didn't think through the idea. Most games let you report abusive content, players and cheating right in the game - it's the best way to report issues because it would automatically grab some of the information the staff needs to investigate.

Yeah I'm a bit wary of the report system myself. Honestly, with enough moderators around and players to report bad behavior, I think we're good. Everything else though, heck yeah. I especially love the chat tabs.

As long as the players who are caught abusing the report system get punished, I also think we're good. Thanks a lot, Azura!

I'm all for making reporting more accessible and user-friendly. ^^

Am I the only one who hasn't played ESO? ;D I would like to clarify certain points regarding the concept you're proposing.

On the mod side, it would be probably possible to view the reported chat logs (as they'll be for using inappropriate language), but when it comes to players representing sexual behaviour (for example), a chat log wouldn't really help and a screenshot would be needed. Also not sure if it's implementable, but it's definitely a nice concept.

Thank you for your response, it's much appreciated!

It would be possible to automatically send the chat log with the report. Also I believe sending screenshots wouldn't be a problem neither.

To keep people from abusing the report system,  I would just simply say that if a report is just made because of "hate",  it could backfire. So the reporter would get a smaller ban if their report was just made to "get rid of someone". (For example for reporting someone without a real reason or just because they don't like someone, they could get like 2-3 days)

Just as I thought! Glad to hear that Morgra's concept wouldn't be hard to implement.
I want to thank you for taking time to provide us with your valuable feedback! It's greatly appreciated.

Thank you for raising your concerns, but I don't really see how useful chat commands would cause more people to leave the game. As for the report system, I will repeat myself by saying that I didn't really think through the idea and just thought that it would be probably possible to view the reported chat logs when it comes to players using foul language. But when it comes to players representing sexual behaviour (for example), a screenshot would be definitely needed.

I feel the /clear command will eliminate the time it takes to relaunch the game just to clear a cluttered chat, and the /mod command would help users understand that there are mods around even if they're hidden.

This is where the idea would now need to be improved even more just to prevent possible invalid reports when they could have so easily been valid reports if only the settings were correct.

From the top of my head, the most effective options I immediately see would be to:
  • remove the 'Character Name' option from the 'Local Chat Type' and 'General Chat Type' settings under 'Interface' within the in-game options menu (which might be hard for people to let go of since they like the appearance).
  • make it so when Arrival Chat Types are changed that they also update in the chat's history (a better option, if it's possible). Maybe with this, when someone clicks the report button a "have you remembered to..." reminder pop up list makes sure people are constantly reminded that usernames need to be visibly clear in the chat within the screenshot, thus encouraging the option change and hopeful success that it changes within the chat history, AND people can always change it again after to how they like it. Everybody wins.
  • or a last resort, have the report button take the user to the How to Report In-Game users (https://feral-heart.com/smf/index.php?topic=50652.0) thread where both old and new users can learn how to report an in-game user if they didn't know how to already and the reporting system can still work the way it does through the forum using the tools we already have.

Chat Tabs
Absolutely yes please very much thank you. I would love these. Though maybe an exit X to remove tabs that you no longer need? Other than that, I would genuinely appreicate this feature.

Chat Commands: Exactly my thoughts, thank you for your prompt response to the questions raised above!
Report System: Thank you for taking the time to point out both the positive and negative sides with such insight! I will repeat myself again by saying that I didn't really think through the idea and was just throwing ideas around, but I really like the sound of your third suggestion (the report button taking the user to the thread).
Chat Tabs: How could I forget mentioning an exit X to remove the tabs that you no longer need? ;D

These are all some wonderful ideas! I would love to see them all implemented! I think that my favorite idea is the chat tabs because especially if you're advertising for a group, you might get multiple whispers to deal with so you don't want to lose your conversation with one person. It would also be really helpful because its so easy to accidentally type in the wrong chat channel because you aren't 100% paying attention!

  • Game Localization
    How many of you think it would be a good idea if the game was translated into other languages? Due to general thoughts that have been popping up over time regarding game translation and localization, I started working on a project (https://feral-heart.com/smf/index.php?topic=65093.0) that'd support the including of players from many different cultures and backgrounds. I wanted to ensure a truly authentic experience for our players - regardless of their nationality. It'd be great if we could have the option to choose the language of our game or something of the sort implemented in the upcoming patches. What's more, game translation and localization also opens doors to advertise FHU worldwide!

  • Community Portal (Player Submitted Content)
    It'd be amazing having a large selection of player submitted fan art, game fan fiction and screenshots. Great community contributions and fun content may even be highlighted in update threads, monthly newsletters and livestreams (Fan Screenshot of the Month, Fan Art Spotlight, etc). The finest creations would also be showcased throughout official FHU social media.

Just gon' nudge a little bit- it says "FHU" instead of "FH" there xD Anyway-



Chat Commands

Personally, I'm not too big on the chat command idea. I'm perfectly fine with clicking through the menus to switch chats or send friend requests. That's how it's been for so long and I personally would like to see it stay that way. That's just me though. What I would like to see however is a "Player Look Up" function from within the friend menu. You can already type in a username to send a friend request, but I would love to see it changed to when you enter a username, it simply brings up their player card. From there you can do whatever- be it close the menu, send a friend request, group invite, party whatevah. Kinda like in Animal Jam, you can search for players via the buddy list, and if the player exists their player info will pop up.

Game Localization

I'm sure it would help out non-english speaking players in being able to jump into the game a bit easier. It always helps when you can actually read menus lol It would be nice if, on the download page, we could have the different languages be available for download. It should be noted in a disclaimer though that the servers are english however the menus have been converted for convenience.

Chat Tabs

I do like the idea of chat tabs- in a game I used to play, ArcheAge, you can create your own tabs and change their category(s) as well. You can mix and match which chats you want showing up. You can have Local, Global, Party, all that. I hardly ever used them, however. I wasn't very talkative in that game so there wasn't a need lol I would imagine being able to turn off said chats would still work the same, but one would still be able to create more focused tabs of only Local and Group, or Party and Whisper, generally any mix that you want.

Sanctions Section

I like the idea, but I don't think it would be that easy to set up to be automatic. I have no clue though since I am no coder xD Raz or Dylan (since I know the cheetah can code shtuffs) would have to way in on that idea to see if it's even possible- anywho. It would help with the users who feel intimidated to approach us, so they can just log into the forum and see what's goin on. If they have questions they can of course still PM any one of us.

Small Announcements (Monthly Newsletter)

This has come up in discussion a couple times, and I do believe there has been mention of this somewhere else on the forum, but there isn't really all that much going on in the game/community to justify monthly announcements. Regardless, it is definitely something to keep in our back pockets to implement when we can.

For things content-wise, the things that are being worked on can't really be shared per request of Raz. As much as I want to share those things with everyone, we do need to respect his wishes. I do try my darnest to at least drop small hints though xD

Community Portal (Player Submitted Content)

We do have our official DeviantArt that many fluffs do submit art to. For awhile players would submit screenshots to our instagram and they would be featured n shtuff, but I would love to see a little more focus on it though. I think it would be neat if we could do like, maybe seasonal art/screenshot/preset contest though! We could showcase entries/winners  I would totally be down for that.

Bigger Item List

I believe this has been brought up somewhere else as well awhile ago... Can't remember where exactly. Essentially, my response was basically I'm fine with the slider as is at the moment since the base game doesn't have a boat load of shtuffs. If I wanted a bigger menu for the items an markings that I downloaded, then I would surely download it. However, if more things were to be added, then yes definitely I can see where a bigger menu would come in handy~

  • Variety of Biomes
    First and foremost, I would like to start off by saying that Impressive Title allowed for exploration of a massive world with a wide variety of biomes to explore, from a frozen tundra to a roiling volcano. The public maps need different styles and forms, some additional fun elements, and last but not least, a variety of biomes. The community, as roleplayers, needs more environments, such as a tropical rainforest (jungle) biome, a desert biome, a swamp/bog biome, a savanna biome, a tundra biome, and maybe even a volcano biome. The idea of biomes would provide different habitats for all kinds of unique characters, species and roleplays to fit the needs of players with social interests and love for different environments. It's less boxed in and looking back at the aftermath of previous map updates, I feel people prefer when maps aren't connected by walls but rather by water.
