The Boz.2038 Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 I can't even begin to list all the things wrong with it. So I won't. I'll just mention the latest pet peeve. I have a friend, we play together nearly all the time, and we mail each other stuff often. Let's say her account name is Berserker, and so for a year now all mail I had to send her is just "mail to> ber > enter", and done. But lo! A random person enters my party once! ONCE! And we don't ever, never talk, not even exchange a word in party chat! But their name is, lets say, "Berserk" and that's it. That's enough. Sending mail to my friend? Unpossible no more. He is always there, autocompleted. Undeletable. Tried to add him on my block list. Nope, still the default. Permanently unable to send my friend mail without typing her entire full name. Because I was once in a party with Berserk. How is it like this?! 5 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoomNexus.5324 Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 Doesn't fix your problem and adds an additional step but might be a work around. Z (open friendlist) > Ber > Send Mail > Enter Another workaround would be to cycle through the hits with up or down arrow keys, so if you type 'ber' and press your up or down arrow you'll probably get your friends name. Maybe it will default to it if you cycle through? idk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sobx.1758 Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 (edited) Open friendlist, right click friend, send mail. Seems pretty easy. Edited August 10, 2021 by Sobx.1758 13 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erapago.4387 Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 Aye, this bugs me too. It's pretty surprising that autocomplete would look up anything other than your friends list at all. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is not adding steps, you said you're opening mail (and then need to click "compose), type 3 letters and click enter. Compared to "pressing y > right clicking friend > left clicking send mail", your method requires more key strokes, so you're welcome. Not only that, but if you indeed keep playing together all the time, you can simply right click on friend's name in chat or party/squad and then send mail. You're just looking for problems where there's none. And, again, nothing about what I said is somehow "adding steps", it's the opposite. 2 1 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess next time you want to be understood correctly, make sure to include a full command you pick. Still not adding steps. Still a non-issue.

Jilora.9524 Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 I mean typically most games don't auto fill at all and if you were having to type the whole name in every time like in most games there would be no complaint but because it auto fill a friend and you could type 3 letter and now have to type 7 letters it's some kind of huge issue.

Do you know someone can technically create the same account name with a different number, right? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vash.2386 Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 I can’t begin to say how many times I’ve sent mail to some random stranger because I didn’t double check the recipient. Just yesterday I sent a stack of memory of battle to who knows? 🤷♀️ It’s an awful system. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyra Tribeca.4912 Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 An even simpler method would be to just keep in your inbox a single message from your friend. Then when you want to mail them all you have to do is select it then choose "Reply". This has worked for me for years and saved loads of stress as I have a friend whose name starts with "Dark" and you can imagine how many have that one going on 🤪 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Embered.5089 Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 The only thing that bothers me about mail is that I don't know how to mail people with accents in their name, using only their character name. Once, I tried to mail a prize to someone and had to do it 3 times because I didn't see the little accent above his name. So, two random people also randomly got prizes. I don't see why accents are allowed at all e_e Most people don't actually use the accents as accents. They use them because they wanted a name that was already taken.
