Can't message other players?

from AshesoftheSingularity Forums

I finished a couple of games over the weekend that were awesome.

 

And I wanted to msg my opponent gg.

 

But it seemed like they left the post-game channel too quickly.

 

Is there no way to DM?

 

Am I missing something?

 

ADDITIONAL: In some ways, lack of DM could be a good thing, because it prevents player harassment. But.. if this is the intent, I would point to games like Hearthstone, which seem to have a fixed selection of messages that you can send. I'd love to be able to EG ("epic game") someone after a solid ashes match. After 1.5 hours of busy clicking during a game, you deserve the opportunity to congratulate your opponent!

After the game is finished if you look at the global chat window it will be labeled, "post-match chat" or something like that, so they should see a message in there if they did not quit the game outright. Though perhaps it should be accompanied by a slight sound to know they said something as you can miss it.

I think you would only see it if you stay in the post game channel.

 

I usually hop back to general... for the remote possibility that I am missing some chatter. 

 

So... not sure if that would be a solution in itself??

 

But to your point... general channel is usually pretty silent too... and perhaps making messages more visible would be a good thing (default to open panel?)
