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

[BLaCKnBLu3B3RRY]

i am all for having chat bubbles. almost every MMORPG has them, why not this one?


1.) as others have said, they should be disabled by default. can't have any complaints there.

2.) only chat bubbles of any real use would be /say, /party and Friends. maybe even /fc too. Friends, because maybe you want to disable /say and/or another and still see Friends with chat bubbles.

3.) there could be a privacy option for /say. basically, even if someone else has their chat bubbles enabled they still wouldn't see yours. so you could make your chat bubbles exclusively visible to Friends only. don't need a privacy option for /party.

4.) Square Enix can impose a restriction on the amount of content allowed to be shown in the chat bubble. i would think maybe 2, at most 3 lines of text. this way we can still send as a chat bubble while using macros, but it will be more difficult for people to clutter our screen with garbage.

5.) i also really like the idea of having an indicator to see if someone is actually typing.




+1 for chat bubbles!
