gyrhnr Posted January 4, 2020 Report Posted January 4, 2020 Players should not be able to check player list / scoreboard, giving the server a bit more realism of never not knowing who is in town ,also making phone use more relevant !

I use the scoreboard a lot to see player's experience on the server and in order to get certain player IDs in order to /PM them. -1

Aldari Posted January 4, 2020 Report Posted January 4, 2020 -1 The scoreboard can be a useful roleplay tool, especially if you need to roleplay with someone from a distance with /ldo or if you need to report an OOC issue to them using /pm or inform a moderator what the persons ID was. Plus, it helps alleviate the fact in real life people don't just vanish for random periods of time. I don't think anybody really wants to spend an hour running around trying to find someone only to figure they're probably not around. I'd rather have people RP'ing and interacting as much as possible, not aimlessly wandering around trying to find the particular person they need.
MohammedAli Posted January 4, 2020 Report Posted January 4, 2020 (edited) +1 All you need is ID and Experience You don't need their alias next to it for any reason. If you need them to enhance RP, you have their ID. Edited January 4, 2020 by MohammedAli 1
Flucifial Posted January 4, 2020 Report Posted January 4, 2020 I think that, for admins, when they're on /aduty they should be able to see Player Names, ID's, and EXP. Normal players should only see ID's and EXP. You can always just PM someone by their character name if you really need to in-game and if it doesn't go through, you know they're not online. +1 to that idea, not just removing it entirely.
Yputi Posted January 4, 2020 Report Posted January 4, 2020 (edited) -1, however, /fmembers should be changed imo as it's being used way too many times to MG and people use it by saying they check on their phone who is around. I don't think scoreboard needs to be removed, especially for /Ldo's. Using PM's with names isn't great either, because if the person you tried to pm isn't around, the PM goes to the person with that name that is the closest to the one you filled in.

Malcolm Carter Posted January 4, 2020 Report Posted January 4, 2020 Is there actually any good reason to be able to see another player's experience? I feel like this can be used to metagame; i.e. someone may be more likely to rob a low experience player if they thought they'd be less able to fight back 1
Qiang Posted January 4, 2020 Report Posted January 4, 2020 (edited) -1 so i robbed you and after 5 min i Disconect and get away and you cant never prove that becuse you dont have access to scorebord Edited January 4, 2020 by Qiang
Chronius420 Posted January 4, 2020 Report Posted January 4, 2020 -1 , its still not a real life , sometimes u need to use the scoreboard to see player's id in case you want to report them or something , anyway , pointless idea.

You can still use F4 to check who's online and who isn't, same thing.

SamuelGunn Posted January 5, 2020 Report Posted January 5, 2020 I don't see how checking if someone is online is metagaming? Lets say IC reason would be to know when he's in town right? IRL people are always in town unless they decide not to answer the phone as they can do same thing here. If you want to know where he is you still need to call him so I don't even see why it should be considered as metagaming? 1
CumFilledFrog Posted January 10, 2020 Report Posted January 10, 2020 +1 I've been in a situation where a gang leader checked the scoreboard to see if another gang leader was online to declare a war without telling him on christmas eve.
Ash Posted January 20, 2022 Report Posted January 20, 2022 Player names have since been hidden from the scoreboard Archived
