For those times when /o doesn't cut it. Has this been suggested and rejected before?

I do believe there are times certain subjects need to be held that close to the chest for a while.

If you cant trust your Officers, why are they Officers? If you have something SO secretive that you can't discuss in front of your Officers, do it via FB Friend chat. Way more important things to work on than this. -1

Our legion has 3 of us that started the legion. No offense to the officers (one of whom I will spend the rest of my life with) I would like to be able to have a chat with us 3 alone before we bring things to the officers for their input.

80% of stuff is ok for everyone to see, 15% for officers and leaders and that last 5% is what I am talking about.

/shrug

Its not a game breaker for me, but would be useful as facebook chat is only 2 people... unless there is another option I am not aware of.

+1 to this idea i love it and if u dont mind if he could put it in tabs man like leader then officers and then just the legion chat so 3 tabs total that would rule!!!!

I'm aware of FB chat. It's not always practical for larger groups. There are levels of command for a reason, and the ability to separate them from time to time as needed is what I'm looking for. It's also best not to assume I don't trust my officers.

to solve your problem there is a neat feature on FB chat that allows you to talk to more the one person at a time, as a group. just go to the friend click on the little gear and it should say add friend to chat. that is what you do and it will open up a new chat for how many people you want.

I personally think it's a good idea. Regardless of whether you trust your officers, sometimes players want to talk direct to the leader. I don't see the harm with that.

Legions shouldn't have more than one leader, without a really good reason.

Also facebook messages.

^ What Darth said.

Until Officers are granted more power in legions, as in the ability to set announcements, and........Can a Officer kick a player? That one too if the answer is no. Then their needs to be more than one Leader. Just one leader is ineffective management. Besides, Leaders have the necessary Influence to run do things within the legion that being of a lower position, "officer" cannot do.

I know their have been some days when I come home from work and don't even get up to check GL, their has to be someone who has all the necessary power to deal with that days events....

Besides I agree with the Leader chat. I have my FB group I use, but sometimes it gets annoying using that chat. Besides, sometimes your Officers make moves within the legion that you need to discuss with your other leaders without the the officer in particular seeing. That is hard unless you have an Leader Chat.

I have a question for you mister "-1", have you ever had an Officer you trust do some really stupid crap once? How would you feel if your, Leaders sat their and talked about what you did like you where not there reading it?

Yes, actually they can kick people. Also, how many people need to be able to set an announcement?

Slightly off subject but i'd love to be able to promote someone to 1st officer. a 4th rank within the legion for 2nd in command. just a thought

Every Officer. We use the announcements to prepare everyone for a Base attack and around mid-day their are no leaders on for about two hours and only a Officer or two.

no doubt... -1

Duhh, FB chat Group for leaders if you must.

need i say again, Duhh!

This got a bit off-topic. My question wasn't whether or not you think I trust my officers. I don't care in the slightest what you think about my legion. I care even less about what you think my legion should do.

I see a missed opportunity for game enhancement, and my question was geared towards filling that gap. Whether you would use what /l would provide would matter to Dan in a decision to implement it. Some of you would, some wouldn't, but I bet if it was there, you'd take advantage of it.

I am aware of and use FB group chat for leaders and for general legion stuff. My question wasn't about how I can talk to my leaders. It was specifically about the prospects for a /l tool to assist in that.

Your condescending comments about legion matters are unnecessary and off-topic. I wouldn't change my legion for anything, and I don't give a damn about yours.

What I am looking to do is expand the opportunities for communication. It's not a matter of trust, it's a matter of efficiency. Why would I want to use additional FB tools if an in-game tool can be provided for the same purpose?

So if you must comment on this, try and stay on topic. There's really only one voice I need to hear on this, but he might be waiting for some more input.

You either think it adds to the game, or you don't. I think it does.

again i'm on topic. I understand what you are saying, but why would you want the game engineers to work on something that has relativity little impact on the game, instead of using the combine FB chat and let Dan work on more important things?

P.S legions are growing away from using the legion comm because in some cases it lags, so our legion has switched to a FB page and chat. If you need help figuring out how to talk to multiply people at the same time with ease drop me a PM.

Thanks for the response. We use FB group chat with a lot of success. I'm not a computer programmer, so to me it seems like a simple thing to add /l. I could be wrong. I just see the current way as inefficient and thought that /l would add a facet to the game that's missing.

I can't speak generally (and neither can you) about whether or not it would have great impact, because there's a lot of legions out there and I don't know how they go about their business. Some have spoken up that they would use it and others wouldn't. It would have great impact for mine, so I brought it up. Either way, it's out there in case others have thought about it too.

To counter the, "because in some cases it lags", FB chat is always changing and every time they even fix some of the bugs they change it again introducing new bugs, so it is not always reliable.

Besides with a Leader Comm you can easily scroll down and see if their was any messages by Leaders posted, while in a FB chat their are TONS of fluff and Ideal Conversations between Leaders. IF you wanted to find out any important information you would have to Read the ENTIRE chat, IT would also go away after so many posts or like 12 hours has gone by SOO you end up missing some of that. If their was a Leaders Chat THEN you could just go to the comm archive and check it real quick and then either read what you need or if their is nothing, then continue about your business...

The main point I am trying to make is is that FB chat for Leaders can get Important information lost, while a Leader Comm will have that information their to be easily found.
