An option to disable the Immortal "Join Lobby" announcement

It has come to my attention that there isn't a way to disable the announcement from being Immortal that you have joined a Lobby.

It would be nice if there was an option in /pref or some other way to disable this announcement.

I love the Immortal perks, but I feel weird knowing that my name is getting announced to everyone in a Lobby when I prefer to just casually join without some big fancy thing aha.

Thank you!

 

I would definitely like to see this added. While not a huge priority change, a small enough quality of life improvement worth adding. Adding the option for customization is always a plus and this seems like it can be very helpful for most people. Similar to what Emiliee said, this can also be helpful for staff to not give away their location if they need to spectate a potential rule-breaker. Nice idea, I hope to see this added in a future patch!

I agree with having some preference option to disable this message, it's not always necessary to have our names announced when we join lobbies, so giving the player the option to disable it would be nice. The only reason I could see this not being implemented is because it's a form of advertisement for the rank as when you hover over the message, it directs you to the shop. It is a good way to advertise the rank and let players who might be new to the server know about where they can also get the rank from, but I doubt that every Immortal player would disable this message, so it wouldn't have a massive effect on that. Overall, I'm interested in having a feature like this implemented so that we can disable join messages if we want!

 

This would dilute the perk by quite a bit and I feel like, given the option, most players will choose to disable the messages. Usually, players who purchase the rank are not really interested in seeing the join messages themselves; they want attention from other players who will see the message. I wouldn't be against removing the perk entirely if a lot of people find it a nuisance, but otherwise, I say leave it be.

 

Currently, immortals have the option to both disable flight and enable velocity in the lobby, which are both immortal perks.

I’m not saying get rid of it entirely, either. I’m suggesting they add an option in /pref menu for Immortal rank players to disable their own announcement when they join a lobby. They will still be able to see when other Immortals join, just disable their own message from announcing.
There will be no way to make others turn off the announcement from others joining, it’s purely for your own announcement message.

 

yes, no one cares if an immortal joined

 

I mean, tbh, what is the point of this lolllll. I mean, there is so many stuff the devs could do, and this is what u choose LOL. Idk I just think it’s kinda funny I mean if you want it added ig you can...

 

I realize I misread the post haha. I thought you were suggesting a pref for non-immortal players to disable join messages. Forget what I said I'm all for this idea.

 

Heyo!

I just saw another other community recommend this idea through a similar thread that was created and I wanted to come back and comment on the original thread. First and foremost, I would like to thank you for presenting this idea! I would most definitely agree that disabling the join messages as immortal would be a nice and reasonable preference. As you’ve said yourself, I do agree that it’s kind of weird (for me at least), when my name is announced when I join in/switch lobbies. With all other points considered, I would also like to agree with Frog. I think if this were to be implemented, you should only be able to disable your own join in message because others may have paid specifically for the perk of join in messages.
