Speech Bubbles - Thoughts?

[Bayohne]

We heard back regarding the possibility of implementing speech bubbles as a chat tool. The team let us know that there are no plans to use speech bubbles in the game, but that they are working to improve the chat windows, and chat system, so if you have any feedback I'd be happy to pass it along. (I don't think this thread works for those kind of suggestions, so perhaps a new one?)

agreed... I do not want my screen flooded with chat bubbles from say and shout, expecially on Besaid... you have 1 Eliza Joran, no comment -.-, and all the say RPer's my screen would be up to the hairline in chat bubbles I would quit instantly...

this is not to say I hate the community or what they do... but I would prefer my screen not be bogged down by multiple upon multiple chat bubbles. I have more important things to look at on my screen than a "game immersion" breaking chat bubbles... I am not in a comic book!

I would love to see some widgets that allow us to connect to Ventrillo, teamspeak, or any other chat service, in game... What I mean by this is that since playing in full screen I have no way of seeing who is talking or switching channels and having an in game widget would be a very nice and useful touch, at least until alt-tab starts working.

Now, I know that wouldn't be a high-priority request, but I think it would help and be a nice tool. If not by SE then by other users when we can customize the UI.

As for communication, I would like to see notifications when friends sign online or offline and even with linkshell members join the channel etc.

I would like to be able to communicate between shells with a /l1 /l2 /l3... to talk with the other linkshells I have equipped, without having to switch shells all the time. /l would always work for my equipped shell.

I would love to be able to send messages to another player even when they are offline, this could work with the mailbox system so it would be nice to send messages or items as needed.

I would also like to have an LS message and even a better UI for doing all the other LS things that have been suggested, so I won't get into those here.

Elements like <call1> would be excellent, and being able to increase the font size of the text is key... Playing on a big screen, I find that the text is too small, but I love having so much space for other things. Give us the ability to increase font size.

Thanks for listening Bayohne, and have a great day.

No, please not. Please not.

You don't have to copy everything from Warcraft to become successful, you really do not have to.

Seriously? Seriously?

Chat bubbles have been used in games for a long, long time before WoW was even a twinkle in Blizzard's eye. They've been a fantastic tool for multiplayer games for ages.

Even though it's basically /thread since the devs have weighed in, I'm still very disappointed that it's not going to be at least a toggleable option. Having to keep my eyes glued to my chat window to interact with players is pain.
