Implemented NPC's in lobby and IGN ping toggle for creative

[ARiceee]

I feel like we are able to make the joining of games much easier, so I would like to see how it works to have npc's which send u to a random game of for example murder.

Pros:
- You are able to join games faster
- You can find games quicker
- Can't be out that much if you look at the signs (which are broken atm.)

Cons:
- Signs won't be used that much anymore
- Many people will be around the npc, but this can easily be fixed with a visibility tool which allows you to hide players in the lobby, for yourself.

Another thing, It would be cool to have a command which allows you to toggle the IGN pings in creative.

Pros:
- People can decide if they want to hear the ping or not

Cons:
- People may see less messages which are send to them.

Let’s focus on actually fixing the game and the signs instead of implementing a new system to join said game. Seems more reasonable to me.

Great idea! I like both. The ping thing can just disable the noise. You would still see the color of the ping which is nice.

This suggestion of course could be added later, after more updates to PZ’s games are added. I do think both are great ideas! +1

I do believe that a more convenient way to join would be in order. We used to have portals, but those broke when the signs did. However the purpose of traditional signs (joining games with more precision) is not lost on me. I feel we should have both.

As for pinging

Hey,

Thanks for your suggestions. In the recent update for PZv2 we've added NPCs for each of our games and will continue to do so for all future games.

Thanks again!
