The topic & options are pretty self explanatory.

If you vote "other" it would be great if you share your idea.

Do you have any other ideas about improving player to player communication?

Updating the UI to have the chat hide-able, but still integrated with the UI, would be nice. That way you can, for example, chat while in the mechlab, searching for game, etc.

If we want improved chat, then locate (search) and comment on the other chat related threads. I support the idea, I support the threads, they get noticed. Sadly, I am concluding that the subject wont receive the attention it deserved because we keep letting it slip off the forum's radar.

** Gah~ Forgot the search is broken too... edit to add links (in just a minute).

Support these threads.

"Social" things like chat shouldn't be a separate interface, it should be completely integrated into the UI and available at all times.

[Jiyu Mononoke]

Brandarr, I am completely cool with that as well. Main reason I thought separate could work is that it could also be plugged via app for tablets as well. On a break? See what's up on unit/faction chat... Just an idea. I'd honestly be happy with just about any major improvements to our chat system. I'd love to see it go room based (personal preference) via pop op, or even in it's own tab.

[Brandarr Gunnarson]

My comment was just for in-game chat.

There's no reason why we couldn't have additional chat apps for outside the game; most games use separate chat servers anyway.

Pretty much ANY advancement in Social/Communications in this game is required. Its silly to have such bare bones GUI with very little in interaction with other players aside from in match.
