Seriously. They need to not cut off the chat or switch channels when you move between the in-match chat and the pre-match/dead/end-of-match chat.

[Nothing Whatsoever]

Easy to be misunderstood.

And we can't scroll back to double check what was said.

And if you can't spell typing fast without spell check, you slow down and get distracted. I know I do.

Well now that we have been told in game voip is coming I am not going to sweat chat. I guess that's the reason it hasn't been a priority. Did hope if they fixed it they would make a larger or adjustable font size. I still cant read it half the time as it is.

[do0ob]

yep social component within the game is not working properly for months...with chat being the most frustrating...many bugged groups help too...

Its probably not going to get fixed until UI 2.0....so just a few more years guys....

[Flying Judgement]

i not going to use voip i just had a bad experience using in game voice chat.
Imagine when a %@+"= @ Kid start Yelling at you:
u Noob u cant even shot u %@"+@ hit that one not that one the other one!!!!! For %@đĐx# and łŁ&@{|\° you all you pice oF "Đđ][€Ł$...
and u just desperately running to the wall when trying to figure out how to disable Voip in the options
oh and in the end it turns out he mad 60 damage when u made 1200
( humm was he inspiring? O.O)
i see enough rage already in the chat. For sure i not going to listen it, in game with headphones No PFF NO way! NoO WaAYY

so a fixed chat would be welcome and an option to change chat colors thx

Did I miss an announcement??

[Blurry]

I cant read vertical what u all saiz?

How about give us voice? that would be nice.
or at least give global lobby chat/game chat and yes fix above.

I havent seen anything for voip the last few dispatches. Could be one of those post 2.0 things but who know when that will launch.

Thank God that MWO doesn't need for you to communicate easily with fellow team members to win....oh, wait a minute. Well, at least we have TS3 and I have noticed my two finger typing getting better with every match.

[Sabazial]

You forgot the part where you type something in team and it broadcasts both to team and general chat at the same time, or you type something once and it spams chat multiple times

[Novakaine]

Unfortunately we the community have proved a concept here.
A minimally viable product can make money.
Facts and figures nope I don't have them.
But look what we have here now.
A bare bones game, and a platform to sell the mechs we all love.
If I'm starving and a man offers to sell me a squash.
"And I loath squash."
Am I gonna buy it and eat it?
You bet I will.
Hence where we are today small staff aside and no insult intended.
I'm sure PGI is doing what they can with the squash.
But it's just gonna be a bare squash.

I'm sure UI2.0 will fix chat

I don't believe you. Please prove your claim.

I say this as a huge supporter of in game voice coms. Not having it is PGIs biggest mistake.

This sounds fam

I second the

[Fooooo]

Pretty sure with UI2.0 we are getting a global chat.

Much like in WoT basically I'm guessing.

Not sure if this includes fixing up the in-match chat........I hope it does. Although quick commands would work as well. (commo-rose, quick chat etc etc) Basically pre-set sayings you select via keybinds. They also would be voiced as well. (just like pretty much every FPS)

Having an option to use your own preset text would be nice tho as well. IE in the options menu you could type some text , set it to global or team or lance and bind it to a key. (you can already do this by editing some files and adding them youself however its not exactly something everyone can do.)

Press the key in game and your text is displayed etc.


There was also some mock-ups that bryan or russ showed a while back now that showed a chat interface in the mechlab....not sure where they are now.

I remember commenting that it should be free-floating and resizable etc and how the black bands should be used by UI elements instead of just wasting space. They said they couldn't use the sides because of different resolutions or widescreen or something.

However, it seems they changed their mind or had a relook at it and redid it all properly and now there is no black bands...?


Anyway, global chat for mechlab etc will be coming with UI2.0. Maybe not first implementation, but probably soon after.

I like how this thread was surreptitiously moved to the metagame sub-forum. Sneaky!

To the forum moderator that moved the thread:



I sincerely appreciate your sense of humor.
