Choosing Globals

We should be able to choose a global to join. Like, how in some games you can choose a server to join(Runescape, Battlefield, ect.), except that it would be for your global chat instead. Right now, when you start up Clash of Clans, you get put into a random global chat. The chances of meeting someone you know is very small. It is possible, but very very rare.

My idea is that when you start up your game, you are put into a random global chat, but there would be a button allowing you to change it to a global/server of your choice. There would be a list of globals to choose from such as Global 1, Global 2, Global 3.........Global 78 etc. By clicking on the Global you would like to join, or searching for it if there are hundreds of globals(I don't know how many Globals there will be), you would be placed there if there is enough room.

There should be a limit of people in each global chat to prevent say thousands of players from being in Global 1. So next to the Global "Insert Number Here", there would be a limit of people in each room. 99/100, 39/100, etc. *Numbers are made up.

What's the point of this? You can talk to people from outside of your clan without leaving your clan. Wouldn't it be nice if we could talk to the one random person who was really nice that we met in global? You could just say meet me in Global 5 or something like that. It wouldn't be private chat because other people would still join the conversation.

Thoughts on this? Help keep this thread alive and not get buried by adding feedback!
I hope it gets stickied:D
If a mod could tell me their thoughts on this, it would be great.

Edit: Someone raised an interesting point

A work around the online/offline indicator problem is to show the last time online. Maybe in your friend list, it would say "Insert User Here" was last in Global Chat #. Citing privacy issues, you could disable it or have an invisible setting.

Feel free to point out any potential flaws.

I think there are lots of private chat requests where you just type in their name and message them or if your friends with them, I feel like those are better then this cause then random people can still join the globals

I like this idea. It could work, I'm pretty sure everyone would like it +1

I have a couple friends that started to play Clash of Clans! But sadly they are much lower level than me and can't join my clan.

Yeah that would be a great idea.

I tried to invite a mate to my clan before trophy requirement but could never find them in global to do so. :(

You could always add them on gamecenter and invite them from there. I met my friend from school in global once. He scared the ♥♥♥♥ out of me haha.

That odd moment when you met him on that global.... :P Must have been an interesting moment.

I suspect there may be limitations here. I think they use amazon web services for their server infrastructure. This means they likely spinup servers based on demand. This may mean that the list of global channels changes frequently.

I dunno for sure though.

It was, I was quite shocked and surprised.

A shameless bump.

COC is not for private chatting. It's for playing the game, chatting with public people, Clan or global, and having fun. Not having private conversations. This will start another dating conversary like COD or something and people will start dating on COC. Just my thoughts.

This isn't supposed to be like private chatting. The point of this is so that you can meet new people AND talk to your friends without having to go through the hassle of leaving your clan.

I personally think that thats a good idea! Because u can talk to either random people or u friends. People are so rude on global so I rather just talk to my choice of people I really like this idea!

Bump.




Is bumping allowed anyway?

​i like it

this should get added in the game i like the idea

But why is it not for private conversations :(
i don't know about the issue in COD but dating/flirting or reading as people date or flirt in the global chat doesn't seem bad, honestly i think i would enjoy reading about it lol

I had a similar idea for global, it was for us to have a local chat, so how about adding servers with our countries names other than the numbers? 👍

Would be nice to choose global chats especially if they were separated out by category e.g. One for noobs without castles... One for bronze leagues looking to join.. One for champions... One for farmers?.. One for trophy pushers? And by location...

It's really a nice way to organise chat but sometimes, ill just jump here and there so there is a disadvantage

Perhaps for location, but not the other ones. But then again, it is called Global chat for a reason.

The point of this isn't for private messaging as I stated many times, the point of this is so that we can talk to other people in global chat AND our friends. We will mostly be talking to randoms in global, but it will give us the ability to talk with some people that we know. If I met a person on global that I enjoy talking to and we are in separate clans, we could talk in the same global. A family of clans could talk together by say all meeting in one global chat. You see where I'm going here?

That's good. It could be a pre-cursor of alliances

And if they are in another clan then how do u tell them to join a certain global ?

There would probably be a limit on how many people are in a global and it would show that(16/35, 35/35). Then you could talk to your friend thats in another clan without leaving your own clan by telling them "Meet me in Global 5" or something. It wouldn't be like private chat because other people would still join the conversation.

Thoughts on this?

Love the idea! 5 stars for not being in the sticky!

I could see a new thing of recruiting happening where you could go to a certain global like global 5 and find it filled with all the north 44 clans feeders sisters etc, and ever super clan will dominate a global, it would be awesome, bump for great. idea

It's a good idea

I added more information to the original post.

I like the idea, but it also reminds me of that game War of Nations, where you can choose your chat.

That happened to me once except in my clan i didn't know it was him and I'm like how do you know my name stalker

First off, this will require another system and it might take up a lot of data usage for this to work.
Ive seen games work like this, i like the idea but sadly, we use apple devices(excluding Mac)
Handheld devices only hold as much data and recieve them. So sadly, we might not see this go on.

I'm not sure if this has been mentioned (I haven't read the entire thread, only the OP), but when you mentioned Runescape, it made me think that maybe certain Global chats could be designated as "Recruitment Global Chat" or "Game Help Global Chat" or variations on these. The chats would be designated as a place for players to go for these purposes. Not everyone will use the "correct" chat for what they're trying to accomplish, but the overall majority of clashers generally follow rules (spoken or assumed). This would be a great idea which I'm sure could be improved upon.

Awesome idea cuz once i met a guy (not mentioning name) and he was really kind to me and then about 4 months later i met him again in global and it would be nice to talk to him again because im loyal to my clan and cant leave this would make my day better and make my clan happy that i wont have to leave

You don't have to leave your clan. If you remember his clan name, you could always try to visit him and come back. If you have a good clan, they will understand you visitng.

I don't mind if it gets off-topic a bit:rolleyes:
Free bumps for me!

I like the concept of the idea but it seems to me that it may cause servers to lag

Great idea, would really like for this to be similar to the 'old' Norsk Global.

People still go on that? Well I suppose if this ever got implemented, the Norwegians wouldn't be so annoyed with us for taking over their chat.:rolleyes:

Lol isn't that rare I've met sleazydemon 3 times on. Global no lie

I think that it shouldn't be named Global 1... Global 2... Instead name them like random things like Poptart or Barbarian or Blue lol

Not really useful. Just Kik or iMsg or Skype and messeging softwares like that, instead of SC investing time and money into this.

there should be like idk 500 english chat rooms so you can tell your friend always to go in chat room 358 :)

Just saying hi

yup definetly i support this idea

How many people (who use English) are currently using CoC right now?


This might be a reason why this is this.

"this" means current global

Yes, it will have international globals.
I suppose having them separated by language would be the only restriction, but you could still switch the language.
Think of English as global 1 and norsk chat as global 2.
You could switch between them fairly easily.

Definitely somethin I need in my life :3
It would be like the separation between world rankings and local rankings right?
Great ideaaaaaaaaaaaa, Bolt.
This would make my life so muuuuuuuuch easierrrrrr O_O

Because I am in a similar time zone, just about every global I have been in has had pinoy in it at some point!
Which with a name like Phil is funny, because they all ask me if I am from the Philippines :)

Mixed/random global is fine.

wierd correlation with you name and Philippines.

FOOD

I like the idea! Maybe 1000 people in a global is good. I mean, probably only 1-5% of people talk in global, and it's probably not even that many. That would mean that 10-50 people would be talking at a time. There could also be buttons that choose a global for you, and here are some ideas:

busy global-
Gives you a global with 800+ people

medium busyness global-
500-800 people

not busy global-
300-500 people

inactive global-
50-300 people

empty global-
0-50 people

There would also be certain globals for certain levels. Here is an example of the different global levels.

800-
any lvl

200-
lvl 25+

200-
Lvl 50+

200-
lvl 75+

100-
lvl 100+

50-
lvl 125

In the past two days i hav met 2 people who I was talking to a few days before on global. Very funny! Even the first one was amazing, so when it happened, i burst out laughing

I like this idea a lot, but wouldn't this cause the game to lag a little bit?

I like the idea :)

visibly

I like it :)

Way better then pm because u get to meet new people and have a group chat with other friends not just one in pm

Really nice idea +1

+1, sounds great to me.

iive been rooting for this adea ever since it came out. Id really like to see this in game

This is a good idea... You have my full support lol

Terrible idea IMO, will only add to the reporting problems on the global chat

YES!!

Where do I sign up for this? I want this global!! and maybe one for forumites? I miss the chat!

Hopefully this comes out next update! Really need this!

This is a really old thread

Sounds like a great idea! Could be very useful, nice post :D

I made a tread about this about 2 days ago and every one there said the same thing.alot of poep[le sit arould like me with no lives spending 8+ hours a day on the chat and i have never encounted the same person twice :(

If you wanna talk to you friends, join a clan. SMH

Obviously you didn't read this thread...

nice idea this would be awesome then i dont have learn how to speak madrin because on global there are always chinese people and not very many other people

Its a good idea!!

There are many, many globals. Way more than the 24 time zones, as I have never once seen my friends on it. Most likely, the language factors in a bit, to their randomly selecting you for globals. It would be awesome if you could pick globals, but maybe there are more than 100 of them.

There's prob a thousand globals

Bolty..Do you mean this now??
Created 9 months ago lol

I think this would be cool, but I also think a private chat function would be even more useful. Possibly being able to send mail to a specific person not just your clan?

It says never let this thread die....so i must!

Since someone resurrected this i must say, there are too many globals to go through. It would be impossible

I agree. I would rather have private chat than this. But nice idea though! :)

What is wrong with people wanting to date in global? as long as they are keeping their convo clean and not giving out personal information there should be no problem. And if you dont like it, use your mute button. If they had a global channel, and a dating channel, that would be really cool. And I bet that all the people who complain about the "dating" are the ones that would join that channel just to troll the good people wanting to meet others there.

it isn't impossible.. they just have to make a UI list of channels instead of directing you to a random channel.. and every channel has a maximum capacity.. and the redirecting is based in country and region so im pretty sure it is possible
