It'll surely be integrated in the main PS App at this point. I'll happily see the end to PS messages. The constant rate my boobs messages, get boring after awhile lol. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well there goes privacy and the ability to have "private" parties Is your voice recorded just for party chat or all voice chats? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDXJC56 Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 Anyone else notice everyone's Trophy Level jump by at least 100 or so (mine personally jumped from 30ish to over 400), is this part of the new update or have I just been braindead not noticing this for months?

JiII-Valentine-- Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 (edited) I have a theory they are doing this so they can ban people who say politically incorrect things in a party chat. I was more outraged over them removing the ability for users to create a private community. Now existing communities are allowed to stay but if you didn't make one before the cut off date you're shit out of luck. They should have removed that stupid follower system instead.

Popular Post LoveInHell Posted October 14, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 14, 2020 I just seen how to make a party chat. This is so shit. Now you have to click on a group chat in Messages to send those people a party invite and everyone in that chat will be invited. Why is Sony complicating things? The system was perfectly fine how it was and no one asked for this. ??♀️ So now if you have a group chat of 5 but only wish to speak with 2 you have to make a separate group chat with those two. How idiotic is this 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danceswithsloths Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 (edited) I can't believe people were unaware they could be recorded in parties before... I have shitloads of videos saved to my PS4 where you can hear me and my friends conversing. This is definitely nothing new. If it makes you uncomfortable, turn 'Allow your voice to be shared' off in your party settings, which is also not new.

JiII-Valentine-- Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 "You can now join parties even if there are members that you've blocked. When you join a party with a blocked member, or when a blocked member joins the party, you'll receive a notification." Well, isn't that fantastic?

HusKy Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 (edited) Seems like they copied other chat apps (WhatsApp, FB Messenger) with their party system. I don't see a huge issue to be honest. At least not with the way I use it. Edited October 14, 2020 by HusKy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caesar Clown Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 If feel like the phrase "Don't try to fix something that isn't broken." has somehow been forgotten. None of this was needed, yet Sony just forced it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xBest_1989x Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 Maybe most of those changes were made to be somewhat similar to what PS5 will have? I found about the update some hours ago, thankfully I didn't get any weird error after downloading it. Was able to play some Battlefront II without issues inmediatly after.

colia100 Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 3 hours ago, SnowNinjaRaccoon said: Dude... recorded by people you are in a party with. You really think your friends will record you and send it to sony? As someone who never joins parties with random strangers you have nothing to worry about. Since people seem to not be able to read: it is NOT sony recording you, the people you are in a party with have the option to record it... much panic for nothing. I have friends of friends join parties and just hang around. They sometimes get pissed off at jokes people can say (nothing over the top, but you know how a party chat with a bunch of drunk guys can get out of hand...) and if one of the little twats wants to report you, they then can. When they weren't even welcome in the first place. And i know what you'll say, set it on invite only, but not everyone does this by reflex. Although i will pay attention to it now.

HellcoreFire Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 Seems like people are having some problems with this update. Can you still sync trophies and go on the store and stuff without updating? I'm thinking of waiting it out for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
