Say Chat (Text Bubble)

[Naunet]

I really don't understand why people can be so vehemently against chat bubbles. Chat bubbles. It's not like folk are asking for content to be nerfed to the ground, or for certain classes to be buffed to ridiculous levels, or for an "I win" button or anything. This is freaking chat bubbles. Their presence on someone else's client does not affect you in the least.

People like immersion. They break it. They're cartoony. It's simple.

I'm afraid i have to call you out on the whole immersion thing. No amount of immersion is going to stop people from remembering that you're a person sitting in a chair, holding a controller/mouse and clicking buttons while numbers fly around on the screen.

Don't get me wrong, i enjoy getting engrossed into games but i'm not about to ever forget that i'm playing a game through an interface. And really, how does it break your 'immersion' if the feature was released with the default being off and everyone who wanted it would toggle it on? Not a thing changed in your world.

As a roleplayer, I'm pretty big on the whole "immersion" thing, but I've gotta say... this is kind of a silly thing to get up in arms against. There are a million things in a video game that "break" immersion. Railing against something that you don't even have to use if implemented is ridiculous.
