[Idea] Integrate into PVP.net Client

I think an awesome way to get more exposure and use would be to integrate the platform into the PVP.net client. Because once you login for the first time of the day, see all the skins and news announcements, nothing really changes, so unless you're chatting, you're really not using the client for much other than waiting in queue. So a lot of the time people have browsers up doing other things.

So if there was a tab or button to switch between the current interface and the ability to have the new platform, whatever you want to call it, able to be used in the client, it would give people more interaction with the client while playing and hopefully draw more use because it's now in the face of the entire player base, and possibly even link major discussions in the announcements portion of the original platform, to draw people to use it.

That being said, if that was implenented, you could also link in the chat system, since profiles are already linked to the account for the forum, and allow people to send friend requests, view in game profiles, possibly team invites and link the chat system so that people can join chat rooms related to sub-communities or topics that would allow more interactions between the community, and hopefully assist the player behavior team with their ability to give meaningful interactions between players outside of the game, but in the client, and people to find others than can play with easier.

Just my 2 cents.

tldr: make part of the client

Fully agreed, also this could get players more involved in the community as well as inform them about newly found bugs/server problems.

That would be an awesome idea for integration! I'm always looking for something to do in between games!

This is slightly off topic, but I'd like to see them implement an online radio into into the client, so that you and your friends could link songs or w/e and everyone you're chatting with could hear the song, with options like vote to skip, play again, etc. Maybe have it work together with the current chat rooms, so that each chat would have its own player-run radio.

I think a feature like this would be a lot of fun in one of the popular chat rooms :p

Another important thing to note is not everyone that plays the game frequents the forums. There really should be better lines of communication and level of community interaction within the client itself.

Personally I think that this is a great idea. The forums have always been an interesting place to browse for answers, but it can be a hassle to log onto the website just to check for forum topics. Integrating the two (client + forum) together would be a very neat way for more people to browse through forums!
