Why do they alway try to fix something that isnt broken?

I don't think there is anything wrong with the chat system so i dont know why you would want to change it. Chat filters work nice this damn game isn't Warcraft so stop trying to make it like that. The 2 link shell's isn't a bad idea I'll give you that but its going to get abused. But ya battle spam can be filtered so there isn't a need to make another chat box for it.

Multiple chat windows have been around way before WoW. Try being a healer and looking for important information in the chat log when enemies are spamming AoE, players spamming JA, loot is dropping, and half a dozen players are getting merit/job points every battle. More chat windows and better filters can't come soon enough.

Is this a serious post?

Why would you not want 2 chat windows. It is broken.

The fact i cant seperate damage into 1 window and chat into another has been A LONG standing issue. I shouldnt have to turn off all dmg just to be able to see chat. MMO older than ffxi have had multiple chat windows since before FFXI was even made.

This would be very welcome. Gotta let us adjust the window sizes too though, or the double box could end up taking up too much of our screen.

Is this going to be a PC exclusive thing, because I wouldn't mind have a second chat left and right of each other.

The preview only shows them stacked vertically, not side by side. PS2 definitely isn't going to have the real estate to run them side by side, and the log takes up more than half the screen at max size, because it runs at 640x480.

Because otherwise they'd have to start working on the like 13 pages of accepted bugs <.<

They are regearing 11 to be more like 14. 14 you can view 8 linkshells at once if I remember right.

[Arbalest]

Good luck doing that with such an old, outdated engine..

[Roja323]

In all fairness, the new ui they were planing is pretty much scrapped, but there were a few features from it like this dual chat which has nothing to do with FF14, or regearing ff11 to be more like it, or being more like wow.

This was a function that had been asked for, for a very long time. It was planed for the new ui, they scrapped that, and now we are getting pieces of it here and there, like this, which in my opinion is very needed and very important.

main healer was my first job. Try using chat filters o,o it works fine

RalphTheGalka has hit the main point 100% dead centre. Playing WHM etc. for long grindy high-level content runs is stressful and joyless enough, without the log streaming past with RoE objectives / XP / CAP / junk treasure / party-ls-unity chat etc. Its hard enough to know who has what ailment in those fast-paced runs, keeping track of other players' status issues becomes impossible in the crazy logwindow overload. Obviously you can already filter out some things, and turn off your LS/unity, but maybe you don't want to turn off those channels because you are awaiting important information on events due to start later on.



So I congratulate SE on adding this new log windows system, it is something that many of us have been talking about for a long long time lol.

Chat filter's chat filter's chat filter's use them o,o

[Alhanelem]

This is the best thing from an interface stand point to happen in a long long time. How anyone could not appriciate it is beyond me. The best thing is it's totally optional... if for some crazy reason you have to not like what everyone else likes, you don't have to use it.

So your main problem with the idea is that WoW does it? That seems rather irrational.
