Currently we have a couple of problems that i would like to tackle in this post.

Chat:

A while back a created a thread on new chat tabs. It eventually died off and so I am going to try to perhaps describe my idea in a bit more detail.

Currently our chat is a combination of clatter from guild chat to trade chat to lockdown chat and public chat

Now my idea to resolve this issue is chat that will ghost our chat that has been present for more than 3-4 seconds.

Now this reduces the spam on the screen. Now my idea is to create movable and re sizable chat tabs much like our current public one for all the separate chats.

The guild chat tab
The public chat tab
The Trade/zone chat tab

These will be placed on the screen by default in their own default places / sizes and then you can edit the size and place for them according to how much you use them or how important they are.

Now each chat has it's own shortcut key and command.

Now you can either type the regular command in the public chat such as /g /o /trade or /zone and the chat and it will place it into the suitable tab or you can hit the hot-key that is set by default or set by you.

Auction House (Bidding)

Current bidding system in spiral knights requires a person to stay in haven to bid mainly when the time is short or medium it can be a while.

I find myself placing a bid getting bored entering lockdown to find out that someone bid on my item and i have to dash between games to try and put a bid.

My idea to fix this is to have a small tab in the activities tab that has a mini auction house if you want within it and you can bid freely in runs/lockdown.

I would like to thank you for spending the time to read this if you have any comments leave them in the comments.

No.
It's already been brought up countless times before: Chat system is horrid and in desperate need of change.

@Sr-Fists

Added lockdown scoreboard bidding to my collaboration thread.
