NEW "NEWS FLASH" IN BH CHAT

I am sure you all have notice the new "NEWS FLASH" in our BH chat boxes today. I for one do NOT like this new feature. There is no reason for the game makers to be broadcasting all this information to everyone, other than to incite war between the BHs. We ALL have things in this game that we would like to accomplish and putting all of our maneuvers into the open like they have just seems unfair to me. This is a war game and in war there is ALWAYS secrecy. For ALL other Bh's to know about each other's diplomatic decisions and taking of P's, to me, makes the game less fun. Hunting the map looking for weak walls and that sort of thing was ALL part of the game. Upgrading a P before anyone caught you taking it, that too was part of the game. ALL OF THAT is GONE now. 


I guess I am just wondering how everyone else feels about this. 


Thanks for listening to me rant. I would love to hear others thoughts on this.

I didn't notice anything new in my BH's chat. May I, please, see a screenshot of that thing that's bothering you?

Unless I am missing something new among those news, this has been there for months (well over a year, I think). You can filter out the reports that you don't want to see, but you have no way of preventing others to see it.

I think I know what happened: you are on s1 (The Birate Bay), right? IIRC, there was a bug there that prevented those news to be shown, like they were on all other maps and servers. I'm guessing they've just fixed that and it looks to you like a new thing, when it's really just a repaired old feature.

I just checked with the support and that bug was recently fixed, so my theory is most likely correct.

That may be. It has never been on our server. I do not like it at all.  The game was more fun without this being sent out to all BH on the map.

As a member of an aggressive BH, I'm happy with it, but I do understand your side here. Plarium's side is, of course, pretty clear: more fighting, more money.

Yes, I agree it is helpful information on the aggressive side. It is all information that was already available to everyone. But, it was more fun to have to go find the information. Now anyone can get it delivered to them in real time. Just seems boring now.

Most players switch this off on the very first day

It should always be available in Brethren Court News anyway - http://prntscr.com/kuzid8

99.99% of this is just spam - the only 'useful' news is about NEW presidios, but how often do we see them?


Edit: Chat Settings are broken anyway - http://prntscr.com/kuzk8b

As usual, they fix one thing, but immediately break another .... this is probably deliberate sabotage as part of a 'job creation' scheme
