They are devoting all of their significant programming resources into the development and implementation of new bugs. The current bugs aren't producing the level of frustration that they had hoped for, but don't worry the next batch will make up for it (you can even unlock even worse bugs by spending MC to unlock the upgrades).

Yes..the same bug that's been around for the last 4-5 patches. You have to manually hit backspace on each letter, which is annoying when you're also trying to shoot mechs.

Seriously though if this is an intended fix I am saddened. Here is another instance where we suffer morons twice - once because they exist and we must deal with them anyway, and second (and most offensively) we then suffer the morons again because institutions like PGI make ridiculous policies to 'curb' ***** behavior which only serves to annoy, offend, and inhibit the non-moron community.

Much appreciated, good sir. This is something I assumed was waiting to be fixed. If kb spamming is the cited problem, disabling the delete key's repeat function sounds like throwing gas on the fire. Delete key needs to be buffed!
Also some (if not all) the keys still have their normal repeat functions though, or else you would need to keep tapping wasd instead of holding them down, or firing weapons etc, but this may not be the case for chat I suppose.

Is this a joke? Every single game on the internet allows for the use of holding the backspace. Please fix this.
Let me give you an example. A player hits "y" by accident and continues to hit movment controls and types A LOT of random letter. He then has to manually delete each one while people are shooting at him. I dont think that's how it was "designed".

Theres also that niggling bug where if your typing something and the game forces a view change (start of match, mech dies while typing, end of matchsummary) your text is removed from the screen and you continue typing in the "new" text field (usually All>) and when you press enter, the first half of what you typed appears in team chat (or all> if thats where you were typing originally) and the 2nd half appears in general chat. Or it gets lost completely.

Note this means there's an even faster way to clear the chat input - much faster than backspace. I could understand if the repeating of other keys was disabled, but why the BACKSPACE?? How could you spam by deleting what you've typed?

Really? I have never had a game were players were spamming messages. (except for the closed beta goons going SQUAWK). Im surprised, that the devs did something against a non existand problem...
This is probably also why I could never get a working TAG toggle script through keyboard macros.

Maybe, if we lived in a negative universe, this functionality as it is atm would be utterly great.
Unfortunately, we don´t.
Thx for passing it along again @Destined

Thanks for that post... this just made clear to me that the non-repeating backspace is actually a bug

Like I said, I see what you're saying and I'm passing it along
I have a Keyboard macro for the weapon group 6 (TAG) set up as
Press down 6
End
Every time I die with the Macro activated my chat is immediately filled with
"66666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666" and so on until I deactivate the macro manually.
As the macro is only set up to "press down" the key 6 and not release it, this should end up with a single short activation of the TAG laser and nothing after that. The non spamming function only seems to work for the Backspace key and is therefore probably actually an unintended bug.
P. S. Could we PLEASE get an on/off toggle for TAG lasers.... dying with "sssssssssssssaaaaaaaaaaaaaassssssssssssaaa" while chatting and trying to reverse to the left in chat is embarasing enough... but typing "66666666666666g6666666666666g666666666666666666666" instead of "gg" is just derp.
