Escalated Prefixes above head instead of in chat.

[InsaneOrbitzz]

Honestly, this is a nice idea.

I think the chat gets way too overcrowded on Bedrock with the current way prefixes are handled. While doing something like this we can also make staff members and content creators also stand out more against the large crowd we have on Bedrock. As sound mentioned, it would also make the chat look much more organized and polished. I don't see any inconsistencies with how this could be bad, as players will still get the prefixes they paid for, and staff/partners will also be more noticeable.

As well as this, if prefixes are above or in a player's name it means a player can easily tell if someone who is flying is a VIP who needs reporting or a staff member/partner. There would likely be a system added into place here so it only shows when you get close enough to those players with prefixes, but this would be to save a player's performance on their device as well as server resources.

With that being said I think this idea does deserve to be escalated and be looked into in more detail.

Ayy great thank you Hazard.

Also I see a few people mentioning how this would be confusing in game.

To clear up any confusion, my point was based on how other servers do it. They have the custom ranks just above the players head in the lobbies. Once you go into a game this is not the case.

So I agree with others saying this wouldn't look nice in game, but that was never the idea in the first place, the idea was just to have it work in the lobby, and clean up the chat.

I agree with everything except for not allowing YouTube and staff prefix. What would we have instead? I’d rather have my prefix than to leave it blank ._.

As mentioned in my response, the Partner/Influencer/Content Creator prefix, etc. Will still be shown in chat along with Staff prefixes, as well as under or over the player username. IF something like this was approved.

"So make prefixes above heads rather than in chat is the idea, not applying to special ranks which will do both."

I don’t like this. If anything having a bunch of ranks in people’s gamer tags would be really ugly and if anything would be worse than just the ranks in chat. The prefixes are good the way they are and add some nice color to the chat! This is the opposite for names as you have a bunch of color names + a bunch of random prefixes, forcing peoples names to be spread out and above them with their rank under them. If anything I’d support this just for staff and YT so people know not to report them, but also I like to keep a low profile... and I don’t want too much attention. Overall, it’s an okay idea and I wouldn’t hate if it was added but I think it’d be ugly, messy and just overall worse than the prefix in chat.

The prefixes in chat already look ugly and messy. Other servers have the prefixes under the name except special ranks and it looks so much cleaner.

It’s your opinion of course, but I don’t really get what you mean with “I don’t want too much attention”. It’s important for people to see who is a moderator right? I thought that’s a part of what being moderator is about.
Also, the coloured names feature would still exist though, so I think there would still be enough color in chat.

Unfortunately I’m shadow muted on Bedrock so it makes people think I’m ignoring them. It’s very frustrating so I try to not to get too much attention on Bedrock, however that’s just me :)

Spam the alphabet until someone tells you to stop. That'll fix your issue.

This would be a great addition, but it would be controversial. Further discussion is needed.

why is this escalated then

It wasn't escalated by Technosword

I mean I kinda get were your coming from but I think making the prefixes above someones head is just messier (imagine what it would be like in lobby 1 lol)

 

[LeCastel]

The point being that all these prefixes in chat are starting to look kind of messy.

Do they?

Cleanest of of course would be no prefix at all, but I think it would look awful to have long prefixes above names. That's a bigger no than a prefix in the chat for me.

I'm focusing on the game, not on the chat whenever I play.... don't want to see useless prefixes above players all the time.

The idea was never to put the prefixes above heads ingame though, this would only apply to lobbies.

still, it would look so messy

Personally I think it would look less messy in lobbies only while also keeping the chat clean and not as messy as it is. But that's my opinion of course.

 

[CallMeFortex]

In my opinion this would be a great change in the way that chat looks. The prefixes in the chat make everything very messy. I like the idea.
