i like the idea, but you are 5 steps ahead
the first step would be to put the messages in the right order, so that the reading flow is maintained and your eyes don't have to jump all the time. (each multiline message you read downwards, but the next message is above it)
the next step of improvement would be a significant lengthening of the possible text messages (possibly also depending on rank). For example, it sucks when I need several messages to explain to my allies why the statistics of troop donations are not significant for fairness within the alliance.
third step would be to allow multiple tabs, e.g. MP, war, requests (time&troops)
4th step for me would be an API or or a pre-programmed bot to integrate the ingame chat into chats like discord, telegram or line.
I appreciate your ideas and suggestions for improving the communication flow in the comment section. While you mentioned being five steps ahead, let me offer a few additional suggestions to enhance the user experience.
Firstly, organizing messages in the right order is indeed crucial for maintaining a smooth reading flow. It ensures that readers can easily follow the conversation without having to jump around. Additionally, implementing visual cues, such as indentation or color-coding, can further enhance message clarity.
Expanding the length of text messages, especially for higher-ranking individuals, is an excellent suggestion. This would allow for more comprehensive explanations and reduce the need for multiple messages to convey information effectively. It would greatly benefit situations where detailed explanations are necessary, like the example you provided regarding troop donations statistics.
Incorporating multiple tabs, such as MP, war, requests (time & troops), is another valuable improvement. This feature would streamline communication by providing dedicated spaces for different topics. Users could quickly navigate between tabs, ensuring important discussions and requests don't get overlooked.
Lastly, integrating the in-game chat with external platforms like Discord, Telegram, or Line through an API or pre-programmed bot is an innovative idea. This integration would enable players to communicate seamlessly across different platforms, enhancing convenience and accessibility.
By implementing these suggestions, we can create a more efficient and user-friendly communication system within the game. Your insights have provided valuable considerations for further development. Thank you for sharing your thoughts!
