Chat Bubbles (nerd-rage...ENGAGED!)

[DenariusJay]

CLICK LIKE 4 CHAT BUBBLES.

I know the dev's said no, but dog gonnit', I ain't acceptin' no for an answer. And we shouldn't roll over in silence on the topic. This is sparta!

Options>Enable/disable chat bubbles. The point of this thread is just to remind the devs we still want them.

so instead of the chatbox, a perfectly good chatbox, a perfectly good chatbox similar to ffxi.

you want chat bubbles to pop up over people's heads so you can read where the chat came from cause its that important to you. because you have to be looking at that player. because you want to be scoping out their character. because you have to know where that player is standing at that very moment, whether it be near or far.

so when you have a dozen people around you all chatting. all you see is chat bubbles?

No.

I mean, NPCs have chat bubbles, and many games have both chat bubbles AND chatbox, and they have worked out fine.
Sometimes I do want to find the person talking to me in the chatbox, so I can give them a "/thumbsup emote or something, and that would be easier to see if there was chatbubbles.

Every single mmo that I've played, save for this one, has had player chat bubbles, and none of those games have felt cluttered with people talking.
Though since this is my only mmo without chat bubbles for me the game world seems extremely silent and like people are either standing around doing nothing, or running from point a to point b. I literally don't know what someone says hi to me when I'm going about my business in the world because my eyeballs are on the center of my screen, not the bottom left hand corner.

I'm just really sick of treating this game like a silent singleplayer game with darksouls style ghosts OR an IM chat window. I want to be able to talk to my friends in the game, not in the chatroom in the corner of my screen.

Though that being said. That person hasn't logged in since ARR. :T
