STRAT - Battle Notifications

[Elindor]

Might be nice if you could pick certain clans through the website whose Strategus battles you are notified about so you can join in.

For instance, I select CLAN X, so when CLAN X gets scheduled for a battle in Strategus (attacking or defending), a message is sent to me on the Crpg website.

Thoughts?
Would be good for clans and for mercs.

or an ingame text on the pub servers that says "a stratigus battle is up coming in x min on NA3 "

or something like that.

[Elindor]

Don't mind that either.

I think that would be awesome.  Like 15 minutes before...especially if it's an AI defense...it send a message to people pubbing cRPG. 
Half the fuckers in game don't go to the forums or have any idea that something called strategus even exists.  I know that's their problem, but educating the ignorant (especially if it's as easy as a line popping up in game) would be an nice goal.

I'm assuming you guys meant if you were already signed up for a battle, not just a blanket announcement for battles you weren't signed up for.  I'd say at minimum go with your suggestion, but announcing strat battles upcoming in cRPG pub servers would be cool too.

[Elindor]

Yeah originally I was saying on the website you could CHOOSE clans (including your own, or maybe your own clan you ALWAYS see notifications for) and you get notifications through the website when clans you chose get scheduled for a battle.

But notifications in game on a broader scale wouldn't be bad either.

YES i always wanted something like that, maybe it doesn't show for everyone but just for people who have signed up for a strategus battle. like ''15 minutes until Strategus battle start!''

Better make it so it would send players an email if chosen? Email can be hooked into all kinds of devices, software and alert options.

Generally, notifications would be a huge + to make strat more playable..

[Elindor]

Yeah could send you msg on crpg.net and the email you have listed.

[Svitjodvarg]

Nonono not email. I don't want to be online on MSN or something.

[Thomek]

But you can channel email to your smartphone, or many many other ways to stay updated. It's up to you..
