Draconus-Spawn Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 I was in Beta and I knew then that there were no Chat Bubbles in the game, I however advocated for them thoroughly. Eventually we were told that Chat Bubbles were indeed going to be implemented for launch. Well, the time is here......I log in, No Chat Bubbles. No Chat Bubbles, means that RP will have to be done in group chat where you are looking at your stupid chat box and trying to figure who said what instead of just looking at your screen. I understand Bioware that you don't want your game to look like a cartoon, and I understand, but then again you guys are the ones that marketed this as an MMO. If you want to lie to us to get us to buy the damn thing, and then not implement something as common in MMO's as Chat Bubbles, then don't try to peddle this as a MMO. It would be a Single Player RPG (With Multiplayer group Component). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fashbinder Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Lol, it wasnt in beta so its not in at launch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orotho Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 I am missing this very much aswell... with a game heavily based on community I find it disturbing that the chat box is the only way of "talking"... I am on a RP server, and on these atleast it is a must! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kerish Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 +1 for floating character chat text of some sort. I like to look at people when I talk to them, not stare listlessly over their right shoulder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devtoolbox Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 i vote for this too chat bubbles are needed, but for those who do not want them, allow it to be turned off... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kellindell Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 I had a 20 page thread with like 1300+ views going, I didnt realize they were going to wipe the forums or I would have saved it. It was about all the things RPers would like to see in the game, chat bubbles was one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luca Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Ohlen said they're planning several enhancements to the current UI, and I'm sure bubbles are among them. At least among the recent MMOGs, it would be the only one without them, so I don't think we need to be worried. Just a matter of time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fion Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 MMOGs aren't complete without chat bubbles. It's so hard to chat in /say without them, as 90% of the time the person you are trying to talk to doesn't even realize it. :/ Petition for Chat Bubbles!

Surberus Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Did anyone bother to try the .ini tweak which was mentioned on Reddit the other day, it was functional as of release build and the final weekend test? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrinceOmnius Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Yes. Chatbubbles. Where are they? Gamebreaking bug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steel_God Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Yes. Chatbubbles. Where are they? Gamebreaking bug. They'll probably add it later. They're already working on patches to add new content. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlloRain Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 We can play the game, do our best to rp in the /say * rolls eyes* I hope they do sort this out, I know I will get flamed, but I need the chatt bubbles to Rp, see who is saying what to me. /s moves so fast I fear most of my time will be looking and sorting out who said what. I am sad today, but I am sure Bio will help us Rpers out. A small thing to fix. I was told there would be a togel to turn them on or off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karaglen Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 if it wasnt in the last beta it wont be out on launch, as other people have said they are working on UI improvements. So be patient and off the top of my head i can think of one mmo that doesnt have speach bubbles. its DDO (dungeons and dragons online) they have voice chat and a chat box Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frigidman Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 (edited) I miss chat bubbles when I play a game that doesn't have them. They are taken for granted, because they are so common place in good RP MMOs. How Bioware overlooked them over such a long time of development, is kind of alarming. So... bumpity bump bump. Need to be heard again. Default ON so new players see them and know to use them.Make an option to turn OFF for the very few who hate bubbles.Make sure they are readable, with options to adjust time/size. And git to it! RP Servers drastically need this important feature added asap. Edited December 14, 2011 by Frigidman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhelex Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 (edited) I'm really disappointed that there arn't any chat bubbles yet, hopefully they add them in very soon. Edited December 14, 2011 by Rhelex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silvernos Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 For the sake of RP: -- Chatbubbles -- Seating in chair. Any chair for that matter, now its standing next to a chair, because for some oblivious reason your character has gotten it in his or her back so they cant sit. -- Perhaps ever.... in the far and distant future... instead of story zones going red, they can go transparant and allow for the rest of the world to use it Other than that, I am enjoying it thoroughly!
