kimdante Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 (edited) /signed. I just read the majority of the very well presented and informative original post .... And Gizmo I applaud your quixotic and unwavering determination Chat bubbles are a really crucial part of the RP experience and does add the semblance of activity, and energy to the RP hubs.

Cessna_X Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 I'm really appalled that this hasn't happened by now. We're talking years. Even if there was just one person working on this every now and then, there's no reason it couldn't have been done by now. And only one response from BioWare... over a year ago?? Seriously, just put the laggy chat bubbles from beta back in (make them disabled by default, of course). A lot of people have the processing power to spare.

SawneyRath Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 I still support Chat Bubbles, and I cannot wait for them to release some more information on them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trooperclay Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 (edited) It's been a long time since the last time I saw this thread, but I still love the idea of chat bubbles, so /signed again +I'm amazed that it's been a year since both my, ops and bio wares reaction to this. But have SOME faith in bio ware. Edited January 27, 2014 by Trooperclay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, just put the laggy chat bubbles from beta back in (make them disabled by default, of course). A lot of people have the processing power to spare. Case in point, I have an older machine and a sub-par GPU, (dual core i7 @2.64gHz stock, 6gb RAM and a GTX 550 ti) with with my SWTOR settings on Ultra I'm usually sitting at 99~110 fps out-doors, in fights and all kinds of crazy going on. I think I could stand to tax my system a little with some nice speech bubbles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twin Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 lol@this not being in game several years ago. Simply amazing tbh. Im just waiting for them to release it via the CM, as a consumable with a 1h timer on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fernandooliver Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Hey everyone - I asked Lead Designer Damion Schubert if there are any new updates on this topic. We still do not have an ETA for the implementation of this feature, but we're definitely aware it's something players want. We did attempt a version of chat bubbles once, but they introduced some severe performance issues, and we'll need to address that before they can be implemented. Thanks for your patience! If this stupid request gets approve, I hope there is an option to turn it off, I hate Chat Bubbles, it reminds me the days of MS Comic Chat.

Sangrar Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 If this stupid request gets approve, I hope there is an option to turn it off, I hate Chat Bubbles, it reminds me the days of MS Comic Chat. yeah I don't want no chat bubble, give us the option to choose if that ever gets put in to just see the bubble messages in my regular chat window. Honestly I want them to work on real content like pvp and pve stuff, not whether or not we got a bubble over our heads especially since we already got a chat window in place already that works fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course there should be an option to turn them off. I would be surprised if they didn't add that in too. I love Chat Bubbles. Was one of the many Social aspects of SWG that really made it enjoyable for me. I hate NOT having them. It feels so lonely in the game world....

Trooperclay Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Chat Bubbles would be nice But what I would really like to see is in-game VOICE CHAT! One that really works well and won't crash the game or make you sound like a robot. This would of course be restricted to Groups, Flash Points and Operations, but would be a nice addition for Social Engagement. If you really want that, make another thread about it. Wouldn't hurt.

Levram Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 max dps www.youtube.com/watch?v=HiPVfrGL Do not click the above link. It is SWTOR referral program fraud. Also I want to take this time to alert everyone of a forum rule. Due to the possible "trick" nature of using your referral link to trick someone into unintentionally becoming your referral, we are not allowing use of your referral links here on the forums until this issue is resolved. Whether that is being honest about what the link is, or trying to hide it, it will be removed. Any egregious breach of this rule can result in infraction points.

kirorx Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Would change the game for the better that is for certain, I could actually do some Radom RP out int the world, of course I doubt we will see them but it would have been nice. I remember being so surprised that this was not in the game, but we don't even have sitting In chairs, but they created a weird cm work around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elminster_cs Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 (edited) 2012 They’ll be coming soon Chat bubbles are on the short list, stuck behind must-have features like group finder and I expect you’ll see them arrive relatively soon 2013 "We have some nice big juicy things that are better that are on the list after space. I wish I could say more, but I can't." 2014 And much more… this is going to be the biggest update up to this point - we will reveal more once we are a bit closer As we get closer, we’ll have a lot more juicy details on these new features Instead of Soon™ I have to suggest: Juicy™ or More™ Is this ok for you BW? In fact is pretty the same, soon, more or juicy is to wait, wait, wait aaaaaaand wait again. Incredible how they use soon, juicy and more without any sense Edited February 4, 2014 by Elminster_cs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
real-stormwaltz Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Hi. I'm relatively new to SWTOR - I've only played about two months so far. I was surprised to find there's no way to turn on chat bubbles, and would like to add my voice to those requesting them as a option. Thanks!

Let's hope our dear developers will finally do something to grant us the request for chat bubbles. It'd certainly convince me to play again (my long-term subscription expires sometime today and that will be it until we get chat bubbles). Fingers crossed!

Better, since you pay but don't clutter the game with your presence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anonnn Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 WE do not NEED them. YOU WANT them. You are 100% correct! ___>> I <<_ WANT chat bubbles! Many many (many) other people have said the same thing . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was one of the many Social aspects of SWG that really made it enjoyable for me. I hate NOT having them. It feels so lonely in the game world.... It's funny, I thought the same thing about the Real World, then one day the Big Guy implemented chat bubbles, and we got this: http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Yqwqobapw0w/TDi1yXp-edI/AAAAAAAAAXA/7r8XxCM_97w/s1600/futureman.jpeg They were then removed from Life never to be seen again.

Darth-Rion Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 I was here at the start when they were coming soon, really not surprised they still aren't here. But I shall add my voice... or text to the masses. GIVE US BUBBLES! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bantii Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 Having this implemented would open up my world when playing.. LOVED it in SWG and miss it dearly.. I feel i'm playing the game on my own half the time, its very un-social at the moment without it. COME ON DEVS!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anonnn Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 Heh. I just thought of an interesting idea. I was thinking about what you said about SWG, and I was thinking "yah, pretty much we ALWAYS used chat bubbles in SWG. Well, that is... IF WE WERE THERE." So the obvious thing is that we should have a holo-call emitter that lasts for a while, so that we can have our friends who are in other locations beam in, and still be able to have bubble convos with us! Holooooo Bubblllllllles !!! __ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
