Where are our Chat Bubbles?


Draconus-Spawn

Recommended Posts

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).

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 :cool:

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?

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

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.

 

If you remember what the post was titled, more than likely you can google it. Just click the "cached" version and save what's there.

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.

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!
