Yes, the chat system is still the worst in any game.

[Gregore]

What chat system?

[Darvaza]

the ingame typing chat... which is terrible.

[Wanzerm23]

Everything about this game is pretty basic so far. I mean, it's in Beta still. Expanded chat would be nice.

Other things I would love to see are more after match stats. Hit percentages, damage inflicted and received, etc...

[Broceratops]

you can take out the word modern and still have an accurate statement. any game that has ever had chat capability is either better or on par with this.

I really like the C3 program that I got free as soon as I joined a group for the first time. That requires a premade group to chat though. Also I would love like a 5 min post game chat as well.

[Major Cockburn]

chats fine as is.

I don't want to be stuck in a post game chat, even if its just something else to click through.

So you are opposed to a button to skip the post game chat to just have to wait another 10-20 seconds for your mech?

[Major Cockburn]

Mainly because i have no desire to talk to 90% of the player base, the only people I need to communicate with are already in TS with me. Secondarily, yes because it takes long enough to get my mech out of match to begin with, I'm in a hurry there's puglings to stomp!

[J4ckInthebox]

You type things, it writes things on the screen. it seems to do its job pretty well so far.

duh.

What a waste of time posting this. Did you post just to complain, or can you take this a step further and provide the missing functionality you want in the game?

What you did here was like walking up to a Sheriff's Deputy and saying "There's a crime happening in the county!" and when he replies back with "Where?", you don't provide anything more. The devil is in the details, so spill it.

I wasn't insinuating that it would delay release time of you mech. Especially if you skip the chat altogether. You must admit though sometimes you want to just trash talk the other team after a stomp or possibly find a new friend off your team that proved to be good right? (second part does not apply if you drop 8 mans)

yes. 3 seconds is not nearly long enough for me to properly troll the other team or my team the most i can type is 'noobs'.

worried no... bugged... yes.

[Aegis Kleais]

So because of a bug in the chat, it's the worst chat system in gaming history eh? That doesn't sound the LEAST bit drama-queen ish, right?

It's a peeve of mine, but it's bad enough people are making dumb posts that don't have a complete subject in them. "Hey Guys...." and "You'll never guess...". If there's something wrong with the game, and I don't doubt that there is, at least show you know what you're talking about by providing solutions, even if they are suggestions, to the issue in the ORIGINAL post. Forget nettiquette, it's more an issue of common sense.

Yeah, it's kinda annoying when you spectate and can't type or look at the scoreboard.
