Implemented The /msg command in your Cage!

[GiGaGekkies]

Hi everyone!

I've got a simple suggestion:
I've recently found out that you can /msg in your cage in Lucky Islands, but not in Eggwars or Skywars.
If this feature was added for Eggwars and Skywars as well, it'd be very useful!

It's not only /msg, it's the chat in general. I agree that it should be possible in SkyWars and EggWars to chat pre-game as well.

 

[ItsSennee]

I would love to see this in eggwars and skywars!

 

[Taxy]

To be honest I think this is a great idea! In addition to @Maaarijn's suggestion, I think all modes should have this, including teams in both modes (team chat and global chat!) .

 

[LeCastel]

I don't even get why we can't just have chat before the game starts anyways.

Chatting in pre-game got removed several years ago because of the people spamming "OP PLZ" to ranked players. I would like if this can get tested to see if people still do spam ranked players. And if they don't, it might be cool to keep it.

Totally a yes for me! Whenever I’m talking to someone in the pre-game lobby I always seem to get a message from someone when I’m in my cage, but I can’t see who it is -unless I do /r <message>.. So I don’t really see any problem with this getting implemented.

It is indeed very weird that this is not already a thing... and I completely agree that they should add it
But now that @xTypical mentioned it about "op pls" I can see why... Maybe just turn off the ability to talk in the regular chat, but allow the /msg function

Makes sense... But why do we still have chats pre-game for Minerware and Tower Defense (possibly other games too, not sure)? because those games have voting options too. And people ask for double coins pretty much always in TD as well.

Yeah it makes no sense that you cant talk before skywars and eggwars but you can before LI, so im going to escalate this and we will see if anything comes from it :)

 

[CedricFresh]

Playing in skywars megas, there is roughly 39 other people who can ask for op.
I'd assume there to be more people begging in bedrock edition than in java, as every game there is at least one person disagreeing with your democracy.

Yet it's still a great thing to have pre-game chat. You could ask your party leader to go to hub before the game starts if you don't have voice chat. You could also use chat as... chat.

@Ge1ster @Skoedel

I do like the idea of /msg but I feel like before that there should be a party chat, I can see one in the party commands but I when I try it when I'm in a party, it doesn't work. So I feel like before they add /msg, they should add /p chat

Edit: I saw another suggestion that said /p chat and it said something about Microsoft not allowing it so yeah. But I'd love the idea of /msg and /fmsg would be nice too.

@Ge1ster @Skoedel

Hello there, I'm Cuba, nice to meet you. In my opinion, /msg should definitely be a thing in Eggwars and Skywars. Private messaging people is a common feature that we all need, and even if apparently it gives no impact on the games, it would definitely improve the overall experience since it would add a natural action to the everyday life on CubeCraft.

I hope it will be soon implemented, see you around!

Hey GiGaGekkies, thanks for your suggestion and sorry about the delay.

We think consistency is the most important thing here and we'd want to make the changes based on whats present in most other games.

As mentioned here:

Chatting in pre-game got removed several years ago because of the people spamming "OP PLZ" to ranked players. I would like if this can get tested to see if people still do spam ranked players. And if they don't, it might be cool to keep it.

in 2015 there was huge spam in chats for overpowered modes in specifically SkyWars & EggWars as those modes were incredibly popular and were the only modes that featured voting. Even these days they are still the most popular voting options specifically in that gamemode.

Which is why-

Makes sense... But why do we still have chats pre-game for Minerware and Tower Defense (possibly other games too, not sure)? because those games have voting options too. And people ask for double coins pretty much always in TD as well.

-these games do not have this chat limitation. Because their voting options are not as popular, the purpose of the chat disable was to reduce not remove. SW/EW had 60% of the game spamming at the same time at it's peak before it was added.

For this reason we believe adding /msg to SW/EW is the better idea as it still reduces the bulk of players from asking for OP because it's much easier to write "vote op" in chat and press enter than it is to type out a command & a username.

Keep in mind that it's possible this suggestion could flip the other way and we disable /msg in all three modes. But regardless some form of consistency will be applied between the three.

~ Marked as planned. :]
