A DCS Lobby

[KillarZ]

I know this has been talked about and discussed before but heres thread directly on this topic. I havn't really found one directly about it.

 

In the DCS series they should make a DCS lobby. It would be similar to hyperlobby but a little better. It should have the ability to see and join servers, a chat system like HL, a private chat, a message where you can check your inbox and your messages sent and send the same message to multiple people. The lobby should include all the dcs series but with the ability to filter servers. Say if you were looking for a DCS warthog only mission you would be able to select DCS warthog and leave DCS blackshark unchecked in the filter and it will show all missions that only have dcs warthog. With the friend system there could also be a squadron system where you can add people to your squad. Another cool feature would be to have a pilot log setup where other people can veiw you pilot records maybe even have it connected to single player if the player wants.

 

Also with this instead of having two icons for each dcs sim just have dcs lobby and it can just update whenever a new sim comes out. This would also help tie some of the community that possibly arnt on the fourms together. Thank you for reading, go ahead and add some pros and cons to this and share your idea.

 

P.S I hope I didnt make a multiple thread

I don’t think you need to worry about a multiple thread. Yes, it has been suggested before, but it is a good idea, and ED listens to ideas and I am sure has considered a lobby. With the many things they are doing, they are prioritizing. Who knows though, may see a nice lobby in the future.

lol I was about to make a double post but I knew I made a thread about this someday.. I guess it's not a very popular idea. DCS world did part of this and I know its still in beta but I think the multiplayer lobby part should be included also.

is there a different kind of lobby system other than the one you described? seems kind of redundant. it's like asking that multiplayer include more than 1 player.

Maybe an icon with a KA50/A10/P51 to indicate what type of playable units are available on the server.

Some of the UI changes that have come with DCS world gives me hope that the MP UI will change soon. However I still think the best option would be an external lobby like Hyperlobby that can receive game info from the servers and just allow players to hang out in chat while deciding what to play.

I agree, lobby of some sort would be very welcome :)

Sounds very reasonable.
