    I do wish they would add this feature. It doesn't even have to be a bubble - the overhead text in LotRO is really awesome too.

    I see no real merit in them.

    They are impermanent, meaning if you are afk and come back, you have to check your chat log anyway.

    If what the person has written is long, they disappear before you can read them all so you have to start reading *again* in the chat log, wasting time.

    If someone is speaking behind you, you can't see it meaning you have to read your chat log, only you are no longer focusing on your chat log because you now are used to looking for chat bubbles.

    For RP'ers (I've been known to dabble myself) you either have emotes in the chat bubble, which looks silly because your character isn't saying "leans against the bar and stares moodily into the middle distance" or you have emotes and chat in seperate locations (bubbles/log) which interrupts the flow and can lead you to miss things.

    Lastly, I personally, subjectively don't like the look of them.

    I don't mind the dev team implementing it as long as it gets a toggle and unless it starts crashing people's PS3s, but I certainly wouldn't want their dev time used on this at the expense of any one of dozens of other things I'd rather see.

    I would really like chat bubbles because it would be easier to find and raise the people asking to be raised during FATE's and whatnot. I noticed yesterday that while I was doing one of the FATE's, when I died, I was just ignored. It dawned on me that being a Lalafell, so small and laying in the grass, chances are that no one can really see me. They can see me asking in chat, but why hunt around for someone? If there were chat bubbles displaying above my head, it would be far easier to locate my dead body, raise me quickly and continue on.

    They need to rethink their decision on chat bubbles because I think it's hindering more this way, than it would be the other way.

    And to those who will say, "Well I don't want them." So toggle them off. Boom, you don't have them.

    I would like and would use chat bubbles. When I first joined 1.0 when it came out, I thought it was weird to not have that in the game... Make it seem so dead and less social.

    Even Ragnarok Online has chat bubbles... That game from 2002 ( > . > ;

    If it put strain on PS3, make it for PC only...

    So turn it off if you don't want to see them. I can't see what the big deal is, if certain people want them on they totally could implement this and make it toggle-able.

    I've been in some really crowded cities in WoW. Not once was I ever overwhelmed by speech bubbles.

    Also you can, y'know, turn them off.

    Please add this. Make it a toggle-able option. Please. Please. Please. Please.

    I just don't understand why people argue against this if it can be something optional. Hell, even leave it off by default just to appease these people.

    But there are a lot of us that REALLY want chat bubbles, and who feel the game feels VERY DEAD and not-social when they don't exist. You might not understand, but that's fine, not everyone is the same.

    Knowing Squee, I'm sure they will find the way to make the imaginary "too many speech bubbles in my screen" problem a real one.

    Oh, and you would only be able to see the bubbles every third day of the month and only when it's 20°C or higher in Alaska.
