I've been playing Hades' Star for many years, close to the beginning. I've reloaded it constantly on many phones. There was a time when there was a global chat in the game. That was a good friggin time. You could joke around, make friends, ask stronger guys for hydro, find better corps, joke around, make friends..etc. It is unknown to us why it was shut down, someone said cuz of inappropriate stuff?! That makes no sense. Because there were moderators in the GC as well, and I remember the cus words were **'d out. So you had to use another language keyboard to get your point across sometimes. It was probably an evil ploy by stupid dumb 'blamers' to make things worst for everyone. But whatever the reason, I'm sure it's high time that it comes back to the game so it could be more fun again.

i miss GC too, it was cool to have an accessible in-game resource to ask questions and look for teams spontaneously

#

i bet you could filter a lot of spam by adding empire power requirements or player level requirements

i feel like a public chat is a pretty standard mmo feature, which is in-line with the stated goals for future development

I miss GC too, but then I remember our GC and I don't miss it so much anymore.

Bring back GC. It made the game a lot more fun. I met my ex-girlfriend on Hades' Star Gc

Just add a chat filter and chat report to global chat

#

you cant get around the need for moderation though, which is a pain

#

then you have to ban people, and you'll have people trying to appeal bans, it can be a headache

So what, it's worth it.

#

I used to look forward to joking around with people and pulling red stars. We would all scan at the same time to try to get in the same red star....I remember. 🫠

Hire moderators for free.
Or for a badge

Without mods GC shouldn't come back.

#

Iirc the biggest problems were non-english GC, because english GC did have mods.

#

And the game has quite a substantial international audience, specifically chinese and russian, while none of us mods speak either.

In the spanish GC there were nazis, stalkers, death threats, links to photos of young girls without their consent, etc.

#

-# There were or there was?

#

If there were spanish-speaking moderators, that kind of behavior could be avoided, but there was no one who could moderate.

#

I speak Spanish. I could moderate.

#

Uke means no one had powers to moderate. Maybe there were more than 20 trusted people that could moderate

If I can be a moderator, I want to see GC coming back too.

but the playerbase is divided into solo and smaller-bigger groups (corps-conglomerates). having an easier access chat ||(and better UI)|| tied to corps could work better. They automatically get moderators (officers) and the impact of a singular player is smaller (those who see the inappropriate message are fewer hopefully)
