Title: /online guide will list all online guiders regardless of your country
Post by: Danzy on 12 02, 2022, 01:43:40 pm: Just today I noticed a player asking for a guider, for one reason or another. I told him to use /online guide and he replied that he did and that there is nobody online from his country to help him out, so /online guide returned an empty list.

Players and guiders alike don't have to speak their native language when exchanging a conversation, meaning a guider can help out someone in English and that someone can also reply in English, that is why this specific idea came to my mind.

The command '/online guide' is completely useless if there is nobody from your country that is a guider and is online. Adjusting the command to list all guider players online, alongside their country code (or full country name even) would be a good adjustment. Why? Well, because players would be able to find a guider no matter what their countries are if both parties are able to speak at least semi understandable English.

What I envision the adjustment to look like:
- Running the command /online guide would give you something like this
Online Guiders: [CIT]Danzy'SnF (Serbia), [CIT]Kuldeep (India), [CIT]Brian (Italy), [CIT]Arran (United Kingdom), insert any other online guider with country name OR code...

You get the idea, it does not have to be full country name, but preferable to be, it can be a country code but I feel as if less players would understand something like IPB (India, Pakistan, Bangladesh) whereas India is, well, India. Or ExYu which consists of 6 countries.

In conclusion, the command should be adjusted to list all online guiders regardless of differing countries, that way a player, if they can speak English, can reach out to a guider who is also required to speak at least understandable English. Even when a staff isn't available, a guider that can speak English is just as valuable as if a staff helped out.

Have a good day.

Post by: FalconHawk on 12 02, 2022, 02:00:07 pm: Good idea but wouldn't the outcome be too long if there are many guides/staff online? If the said player could speak English, he could get help from the support chat. If he needs someone to physically show him something, he can use the main/team chat to ask for available guides.

There used to be a suggestion in Guide board about being able to use /online guide <country code> but again most people may not know the country codes.

Post by: Sawos on 12 02, 2022, 03:57:33 pm: It would be better to script a simple and basic panel for this. So, when someone types /online guide, a panel will appear with online guiders with the country name in front. Because as Falcon mentioned above, the outcome would be too long on his chatbox in case alot of guiders are online.

This, or perhaps we should specify an online guide?
/online guide <flag code> (RO) for an example..

Post by: HomoS on 12 02, 2022, 04:22:55 pm: thats great idea tbh and I did noticed it when tried "/online guide" and the list was empty but after when tried "/helpme" someone from the guides comed to me (not from my country), but we can do better command, in guide application if anyone applied he did got question "whats your language" if he speaking arabic saying arabic and if he speaking english he'll say english etc.., we can use command like ( /online guide arabic ), or ( /online guide english), the command will be " /online guide (language he want) " and I think from that anyone one need help will find one from the guides speaking his language to make it easily.

Yeah but some of the new players don't know much about contry codes
Title: Re: /online guide will list all online guiders regardless of your country
Post by: SqueX on 12 02, 2022, 10:23:13 pm: For players who do not know the country code, adding "Flag Codes" to F1 can be an example solution. Example: F1>Flag Codes>TR (Turkey).

Also, danzy's suggestion will be extremely helpful for new players and players who need help. I hope it will be evaluated positively and added to the server. Positive :tick:

Post by: Waltz on 13 02, 2022, 08:01:29 am: Everyone have different time zones and people can be busy sometimes, I want to support this idea because new players/normal players need help and they can't see any country guider around and they can use this command if it will list all guiders. It will be useful and cool in my opinion, positive. :tick:

Just 1 change, I don't think the country is needed more like the native language we can set like a profile for each guider where they can set their own native language ingame and it will be something like.

DeathWish(Arabic) for example

OR maybe we can notify guiders online with a message that says X player used the /online guide command since after a recent interaction I found out the server actually logs those inputs, so we can use them.

but as Deathwish stated above, instead of the country code adding the guider's native language as not every player would know all of the country codes also adding a notification to guiders X used /online guide would be useful

Post by: TwCafe on 19 02, 2022, 03:25:48 am: I'm supporting this as in case of a newbie trying to find a guide, this could make faster and easier to get help.
6 positive votes. Next review will be done next week.

Though Danzy might update it himself, nvm.
Once the topic title is added [WIP] or [Danzy], we'll ignore it.

Post by: Hallow2 on 19 02, 2022, 03:34:47 am: I like it, this will improve the way that new players search for help with their own languages rather than asking on support chat that is in English. Positive.
Title: Re: /online guide will list all online guiders regardless of your country
Post by: daddy on 19 02, 2022, 03:36:13 am: most of the players from different countries speak English so it can be really helpful for newbies so why not? Positive

Post by: Ala on 19 02, 2022, 04:56:29 am: There are times when you can't find lot of guide online like early morning so that's will help to call another guide when your country guide offline. positive :tick:
