HeySumbode Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 (edited) Via the PS Blog EU/US Starting today, if you head to PlayStation.com and log in to your PSN account, you’ll see a new toolbar in the top right where you’ll be able to view Notifications, Messages, Friends, and your own mini-profile — all from your computer’s web browser. This makes it easier to stay connected when you’re away from your console. Your Friends list will be fully accessible via the toolbar, giving you a snapshot of which friends are online before you hop into a game. The Messages tab includes the ability to send and receive stickers, images, text, and voice messages all from the web. It's a small new feature, but it might be useful. I don't think it's live for EU as yet. Edited November 9, 2016 by HeySumbode 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smellslikejavier Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 i was just wondering if such option existed, great! although i have a EU account and still was able to access that new feature by going to that US link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaivRules Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 Long overdue and much appreciated. Hopefully it's not a new weak point for script kiddie losers to exploit. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satoshi Ookami Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 FINALLY! This should have been available from the start. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lance_87 Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 Was waiting for this. Hopefully now i won't need to open BlueStacks (because i have no smartphone, huh) or any console to message my friends. The US link works with my Italian account, but i'll patiently wait for the actual EU counterpart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hore Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 Very, very nice. It's about damn time. Now I can directly invite boosters to Discord -- the superior communication service that everyone should be using. Seriously, folks -- if you use the PS App (and refuse better apps) expecting efficient boosting, you're part of the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheYuriG Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 Awesome, I don't need to install that horrible app on my phone anymore! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Undead Wolf Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 (edited) The less I have to use that PlayStation Messages app, the better! I can see this being useful, assuming it works correctly that is... Well lets face it, that's not gonna happen. This should have been available from the start. That's true with pretty much every update PlayStation does. Edited November 1, 2016 by Undead Wolf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satoshi Ookami Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 (edited) That's true with pretty much every update PlayStation does. I could do without the social BS PS4 is pulling And white notifications Edited November 1, 2016 by Satoshi Ookami Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Undead Wolf Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 I could do without the social BS PS4 is pulling I KNOW! Every time I go on my PS4 (when my Vita is on charge, obviously), I always get prompted to join something, or make friends with someone, or watch a stream. Just let me play my damn singleplayer video games in peace, okay!? And white notifications I can't believe they haven't changed those back yet. I mean nobody actually likes them, do they? I die a little inside every time I see one of those monstrosities pop up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean nobody actually likes them, do they? I die a little inside every time I see one of those monstrosities pop up. I'm still on 0 notifications fortunately, still hoping for the switch back, lol =D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Undead Wolf Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 You seriously need to learn to play while charging I know, I know. I just have some weird feeling like it's not good for the battery or something. I have no idea if this is actually true or not. It probably isn't. I just don't want to hurt my Vita. Besides, whenever I do play when it's charging, it always feels kinda awkward and heavy. I like my freedom of movement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hore Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 (edited) My boosting using PS Messages has always worked perfectly. Seems like you're part of a whole other problem. The app is serviceable for some types of boosting, but is entirely inferior to something like Discord which by comparison makes the app nothing but a liability. Looking at your profile, you don't seem to have any trophies that require much boosting coordination. When you attempt something like Arkham Origins, or the AEOTM trophy from AC Brotherhood, then you will understand what I mean.

dysphasic Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 This is nice and all but they should seriously improve the PS app. That thing could be improved in so many ways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Half my ACB boosting peers weren't proficient English speakers/readers, and the other half were completely clueless as to the trophy requirements. I ended up having to get my friend to re-download ACB and help me out. We talked over Skype and got it easily first try. Same goes for another otherwise clueless booster that joined my Skype call. Everyone that joined my Discord chat was boasting about how vastly superior it is to the App, which we were initially using. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just saying Eh I suppose, but sometimes he can be a straight kunt. He's a racist Frenchman and thinks he's above everyone that doesn't match his ethnicity or trophy prowess (despite the fact that he only plays ez trash games). See for yourself.

It was hard enough getting everyone on the same page in the "Stunapalooza sessions" to level up to 50. If AEOTM is in the new PS4 Ezio collection, I'm out.
