new communication problems in community chat

You could private messaging the person who asked the question you want to help, no restriction that way and less chance of your messages getting lost in a sea of other chatter.
Direct assistance, if its going to be a long exchange to help the person see if you can add them to a group for even quicker communication.
Quickest and easiest solution to this "problem" that has worked for me for over 15 years, also cuts out the possibility of other players trying to be [email protected] $ $ es and give incorrect or stupid responses when someone truly needs help.

If theyre not responding to private messages then put in /c chat "@(persons name) I've sent you a private message to assist" (or something along those lines) so they'll either unblock private messages or turn them on if theyre off.

more information what i mean because some people seem not to understand:

people like to join in and discuss solutions sometimes, or for example even saying "thank you"  is restricted for 300 seconds, why having a community chat at all  then?!! ofcourse people also could use discord, teamspeak, telegram, Whatapp, Instagram, snapchat and so on for chatting or maybe play other games where talking in a community chat is not restricted.....all of those is not a solution for my problem

also what about if one just wants to help quickly and/or inform more then 1 person about changes and answer more questions regarding the topic, because there are always some who don´t understand at first. I for example don´t want to change groups every 5 min - but following updates people have questions and want to talk about it,  i  want to talk and inform the community sometimes and that is what the community chat should be and was for (at least since i started playing in 2008), but now i am not sure what this chat is for if it stays this useless

old flooding restriction was anoying, but it was understandable and we could answer after a while, but this new change now is just absurd and with my post i am adressing ankama and asking for a change, i am NOT asking for a discussion about facts 

i would love to see opinions ofc, but i don´t need someone to teach me where and how to chat 

thank you very much Ankama Admin!

i understand that spanish and english are overflooded but i hope ankama is not taking this for a reason to shut the others off, we really apreciate the community chats and as you might know german is very slow, the old restriction against flooding was more then enough

the amount of german players is so low , the community chat doesnt need a prevention to stop a spam . not being able to use the chat to start constructive discussions and helping people is destroying the reason of the chat overall . i mean ye sure you can private message a person that needs help , but sometimes having a longer conversation in a community chat is beneficial to lots of players by maybe helping others out aswell + showing some sort of positive community behavior by not having to rely on being in the same guild to have group conversations. 

we are so few german players , these restrictions dont help small communities at all , so i guess thanks for forwarding these feedbacks and i hope we get a positive outcome out of it

The english community chat also suffers from this. It was never overflooded. In fact, it was silent most of the time. Now it feels completely dead, and has in fact killed off social interactions on more than one occassion.

Yeah I think the english chat is dead. I think an exception should be made for the english channel and going forward chats should be adjusted accordingly. 

 

it is not enough to shut us off in comunity chats, i realised there is also a flooding restriction on general chat, i can´t even post positions where i want to go in the chat.. how stupid is that..
