Groups listed at bottom of Friends list (in game) should be at top!

Currently:  the Groups you are a member of are listed last, at the very end, of your friends list when you are entered into the wonderful world of glitch, until you click on it... then they pop to the top.

In my opinion, they are not intuitively obvious to find when you start.  I think many Glitch's are having a hard time finding familiar faces in game in which to socialize.  The Help chat is the first thing you see when you enter.  It has become somewhat bogged with friendly chatting which could be easily transferred to Group chat or PMs.

Solution:  move the groups you are members in to the top of the friends list!  Change the font color of the Groups Chats you are following at the moment.  If you close/leave a Group chat, then the font color of that Group could change back to 'normal'.

Plus:  when you have to reload the game and the group chat closes, it'll be easier to get back opened.

  • For me it's just a matter of remembering it's at the bottom Rainy. But I am with you on the group chat closing thing. I think it should reopen where you were if you reload!

  • Once you've opened the Group Chat, it appears at the top near the Help Chat. I'm of 2 minds... scrolling to the bottom to look at my inactive chats helps me keep thing sorted, but it's a pain (scroll wheel on the mouse helps a bit) so I wind up not reloading them after a reload. At the same time, I like being able to shut them off, but it sure would be easier to find them if they were above the list of friends.

  • I agree, Rainy, putting group names at the top AND a different font color would sure help.

    @AetherKatana, wow not sure what groups you are in, but in particular one of the groups I belong to has a well-used group chat channel. In fact, I know many of us use that channel almost exclusively; I for one nearly never enter the Help Channel window as I'm having too much fun in our group chat window, plus we help each other out all the time anyway. Also, less people in a window = less chat scrolling by too quickly to read, which I find happens often in the Help Channel. Plus for purely social chatting, using the group function frees up the Help Channel so people can use that for help. And I know during the last test, devs were actually trying to shuffle people into group chat to keep the Help Channel free for help. I imagine as the world grows even larger, group chat will become more important and more used.

  • The groups have now been moved to the top of the friends list as of this last test for anyone who missed it. Thanks devs for listening!
