Nah. There's a whole 30 seconds at the start of a match AFTER everyone loads in that could be used for even a modicum of strategizing.

If you play a lot of online games, perhaps. But not everyone does. I dont, I could probably guess but still.

Sorry, not necessarily against the spirit of this message, but how the heck do you not know what the words "Regroup" and "Team" mean enough to put them together? Should these messages cater to the absolute lowest possible denominator??? How would they even do that with as basic of a message as this?

"Everyone come back together"? That's way too much to process and puts the action at the end rather than at the beginning, which means someone is likely to miss it. "Together Everyone Group"?

By the time anyone finishes reading most of these, several bad things will have happened. People should know not to chase after one person while the rest of the team pushes the crystal. People should know how to work as a team before queueing up, but they don't. :rolleyes:

I guess you must not have seen experienced shotcalling because half of those I'd be using like 10-15s before they became relevant. I predict, I don't react.

5 people communication [X] nope can't be done
Whole alliance can all type in Frontlines [O] yup absolutely that's perfectly fine

I said I could guess, that example is easy to get. But, as you understood, the spirit of the post was that MMO's have a lot of jargon that people who dont play a lot of online games dont know.
