In-game announcements

[diesel]

i know ive brought this up but will try again...

can we create a way to post messages ingame to the players?

For example, maybe a third button on chat page that opens a dialog box like Dev Notes or Announcements or sth. maybe a pinned msg next to chat box. maybe a button on front page itself

1) create permanent discord link and post it there (most asked question in chat)
2) post "forums located at www.ageofstategy.net"
3) address current problems


#3 is very useful: right now i would post:

"Hi players, please do not join the game 2v2v2 - it is broken and we are currently trying to remove it."

and

"We are aware buildings affected by Caustic Breath can never be mended. We are working on the issue."

Most apps do this + it would help players find discord, maybe keep playing longer + it helps confusion and reduces repeated reports about bugs

i like the idea of list of known broken things but some points are already handled in other way:
- discord: have its dedicated button in other menu
- forum: have its dedicated button in other menu


Most apps do this: actually i never saw one - but would love to check a few, can you tell me a few where i can see such so isee how they look and how they work?

also who has permission to "announce" ?

also who has permission to "announce" ?

I'd say those who have access to dev version and are modders of chat.
