Is it possible to turn off "player blah blah was the first one blahblah" notifications?

When the new league starts?

It's really annoying tbh

What? I'd like to see that expanded!

I've often suggested we need a more robust notification system. Triggers should be handled differently is all. Right now it's always "first to" and we get flooded with them at the start and then later don't see any.

Here's what I would do: Create a whole bunch of triggers. "First to enter X would be one" where X is mundane areas. "First to create a hideout" would be another. "First to kill Boss X". There would also be triggers like "created a 6L" or other relatively rare events.

You wouldn't be spammed with these because they wouldn't always trigger. Each trigger would have a cool down on it or an entropy pool.

But every so often you'd get to see what other people were up to.

WHAAAAT? Those notifications are the best part of the game, especially in hardcore mode.

GGG:

Global #1:

>REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP

The shitposting from global notifications is glorious.

Expand it for those that like it. But definitively a checkbox to enable/disable in the options menu is desired.

I personally hate it.

I'm with these guys... let us turn that drivel off. It's important to racers, not the rest of us.

Yes, hate it too. Solution: start playing new league 2 days after launch. No "1st to..." to announce any more, only the occasional RIP notifications in HC.

The only fun notifications are deaths in HC (and only if they are high level). Everything else is noise.

Everytime someone hits a "first" achievement,
the game should be frozen like at shaper bossed maps so the players can't do a thing,
and then we are forced as spectator to view the player who got the "first" done,
with him popping a dance move, fireworks, and the camera spinning around him in 3D
all the while "cool and the gang - celebration" plays in the background at full duration.

And you have to put a "Grats" on the player's Facebook page before you can continue playing.
