Post game lobby

[Flynn]

Hi, I think for multiple player games (such as 3v3s or FFAs) there should be something like the pre game lobby which every player automatically goes into after the game has finished so that they can chat and discuss the game and things like what strategy they used etc. At the moment it is impossible to get everyone together to have a chat after some crazy epic game has been played. Just a suggestion

This is a fantastic idea. RTS games are some of the least social games to play in game, especially if you are playing for real (competitively the only way to play is 1v1). It would be super nice to be able to talk to people about what you did wrong when you lost or just point something out to someone else.

A good friendship inside a game will keep you wanting to play it.

Just to expand on this idea maybe such a lobby could just be an IRC channel opened in FAF after each game.

imo good idea. this increases faf life.(keep players/new players join)

games live long cause of socializing with others. if u play with nameless/faceless/mute players w/e its same like playing with bots and u will get bored and stop playing( no mates/friends w/e to play with/against to have fun)

i think its simple to do like: all players auto join a chat room in faf named after game/replay id.
but this would put strain on server. (dont know how much)

mumble?

Aeolus ?

It's not like it's cluttered most of the day, and even then, I prefer that than constant balance discussions.

i think if everyone would just stay in a lobby after a game that would be really cool because if you got a good balanced game you can easily pull off 3 or 4 in a row.
and i think that - compared to other games - faf is basically already a big clan. you get to know players and play with them more often. its not like you always meet new players without mumble.
aah mumble. i can never get it working ><

This.

also,
expanding on that, maybe a play again button?
it starts greyed out and when the host hits it he hosts another game, after which it stops being greyed out and the other players can join again

[Golol]

i think thats not necessary if simply another lobby is launched after every game with everyone inside. that would make things easy

Explain me again why talking on aeolus is not an option ?
