Suggestion Title: Group chats
Suggestion Description: Add the ability to create groupchats in the messenger app on the phone.
This ability should be available next to when you're adding a contact, I think it could look something like a + next to a group of default profile icons, to indicate a group. When you click this button, it would lead to a screen asking you who you would like to be in the groupchat, and what name you want it to have.
Whoever you invite would get a new entry in their contacts, which would act as their side of the invite request, stating the name of the groupchat, who invited you and wether you decide to join or not, indicated with a big green and red button.
Groupchats would be a way for players to communicate with eachother without being in the same organisation, a problem I personally run into every so often is that I plan to do a raid or bank robbery or whatever, and then have no communication with one or two guys because they're in a different org.
If groupchats give you the option to start a call, this could be a fix for the problem stated above, when being called by a groupchat, you would get the option to participate or not, when you are participating in a groupchat call, you will not be able to text in it. As my idea is that the calling screen would overtake the texting screen (the texting screen would look like any other, just with the names visable of who just sent a message). This is also to act as a slight debuff. The calling screen would be nice if it displayed who is talking, similarly to the TS app, but hopefully a bit different so it's still unique, perhaps discord inspired, showing a ring around the person's profile picture of who is talking.
When calling in a groupchat, I think the regular calling animation should take place, instead of the passive way you hold your phone when on teamspeak. This is to act as another slight debuff, as it is easier to indentify who is calling someone or just idle on their phone. The call should be ended if perhaps only one person is in the groupchat for around 30 seconds.
Let me know what everybody thinks about this, I'dd love to hear some opinions and perhaps make changes to this suggestion to make it better.
Why should this be added?:
- To allow for new lines of communication between players, without having to be in the same organisation.
- Convenience, a easy way to stay in contact with your group of friends
- Realism, it makes sense to be able to make groupchats!
What negatives could this have?:
- The biggest negative I can think of, is this being "better" then a actual organisation for some people, which is why I listed a few debuffs to act as ways to show that making an organisation is generally better.
- It could create new ways to spam a person, or prank call them
- Being in multible groups might be obnoxious because of the text messages or calls that could happen 24/7
