    Help me get this straight...


    If any of you care Marc Whitten did take notice of a twitter cconversation vDeacon was having concerning this subject. He said it was good feedback. I pointed the sticky thread out to him but no acknowledgment of that yet

  2. I think there should be 5 categories total (some of which are already in place):

    1) Favorites - friends you play with the most.

    2) Friends - friends you want to play with again.

    3) Following - those you admire & want to keep in touch with.

    4) Followers - those whom admire you; fans.

    5) Blocked - those you want to avoid.

    6) Custom - your own named list (family, real-life friends, Call of Duty friends, etc.).

    IMO, none of these should mix & match (with the exception of any custom lists you create). If you follow someone, they should NOT appear as a friend unless they also follow you. Friends & favorites should NOT appear as followers too. I think if someone follows
    you, you shouldn't get a notification, but if someone sends you a friend request, you should receive a notification.

    "Following" someone sounds slightly creepy. I've gotten 3 random people who are now "following" me on the One. I have no idea who they are. I guess it kind of makes sense, since we can have 1,000 "friends" now, getting a notification every single time
    one of those people signed on would become annoying as hell.

    FWIW the idea is taken from twitter where you can follow people, and people follow you. which is why the activity feed is like a twitter page. Personally iv'e never sued twitter

    [/quote]I just figured that it might be nice if they added 3 more categories to my above list for ideas - friends with Xbox One, friends with Xbox 360, & friends with both.

  6. @GG, 4 of the 6 things you listed are there already. The best list being Favorites, which is best using the Snap for.

    There is a way to see a list of those you blocked, I stumbled upon it the other day. When in the friends list press start and you can view blocked tags. I actually had some in my list but have no idea when I did it. Must have been pre-party days and just
    carried over.

  7. I find that just like with 360 when I get a random request or now follower if I don't know the tag eg. I don't recognise from a recent gaming session I tend to ignore it. If I would like to add someone to play regularly I'll send a little message along with
    the follow to clarify how I know them or the reason I want to be friends. Read this and have added you back. I'll PM you

    [/quote]Thanks for the reply, but you're only telling me something I already knew. If you look back on my post before last, you can see that it was 1 of the very 1st things that I mentioned. Try to keep your eyes open - you just might miss something. =P

    [quote user="vDEACON"]your existing friends from Xbox 360 will be listed as your follower on Xbox One as well as your friend. this is why some of you without an Xbox One can see on SmartGlass that you have followers .. well because your friends ARE your
    followers too.[/quote]I have more followers than I do friends according to Smartglass.

    @vDeacon One thing that happens if you are only following, and they never add you back, is in games with "rivals", they will never show up in your game as a rival. You will show up in theirs, but until they go through their followers list and add you back,
    you wont show up in theirs.
