Re: Lobby: "x" button for removing input

Typical scenario:
I type a name to find hin in the list and pm him. Game starts, game ends. New game is full. I want to pm another player - now i have to jump into the search bar, then either select all and presse 'back' on my keyboard or jump in and leave 'return' pressed until the entire name is removed. Over time this adds up and is nothing but an annoying waste of time. There is a reason some webpages offer his x function.
Sometimes your mom seems to be right. If you need high apm to be able to search names in a lobby, the lobby is user unfriendly and offers little usability. Nothing to advocate and be proud of imo.

You could just mark your last input with CTRL+A and start typing, not sure why you really require a remove button. You sound like my mother who wants to do everything by clicking because it's easier (That's not good if you want to play supcom btw hotbuild ftw)

just ping them in aeolus if there are more than 1 player. start to type name and press tab will autocomplete for you. very quick and convenient, basically does the same job as pm.

Good Idea for the X. But for the UseCase "Alert AFKs to X up" there should be sth easier. Maybe like this:

Implement a Button into the Lobby, so send all Non-Xed players a Message like "X UP !". Additionally there yould be a special acoutic sign - more attationdragging than the "BlibBlob". Maybe an exploding Nuke or the typical old-school alert-sound from Half-Llife (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7pg-JQyrPLw).

This cant be too tricky, cause the lobby has already a connection to the FAF-Client: Your Lobby/In-Game-Status is shown by one or two crossed swords behind your name.

Lobby: "x" button for removing input

2015-10-17T12:13:43+02:00

HI there,

would it be possible to add such a button (see image attached)? Will make it easier to pm multiple people (e.g. to say "x up pls") instead of listing all in aeolus.
Currently we have to mark and delete the name typed before a new one can be entered. Also the list of the all players only will come back when manually marked and deleted the entered name. Tedious work :p
Thanks!
