Request: Can we have Chat / Emote Bubbles?

[Canadane]

I don't see the need.
I can see my chat box just fine. I can filter it through custom tabs if there's some other kinda spam going on.
If I wanted to look at a character talk because I'm zoomed up on them or something, their lips move when they say something! So the immersion aspect is there too.

Having bubbles pop up all over town sounds ...unappealing.

I would appreciate having the option of chat bubbles. If you don't want them you simply leave them turned off and can continue to monitor the chat box.

Then you hate the story? That is how the story is. I always thought of it being cool that its kind of like a comic book.

Although, I dislike the story itself a bit. In some ways, like it in other ways.

There's the main text box from NPCs in non-voiced cutscenes and such. But chat bubbles that some NPCs have are not the same thing. The story doesn't often use them.

They. Are. Still. Bubbles. With. Chat. In. Them.

Therefore, chat bubbles. <3

I like this idea, NPC already have it, and I really liked this feature in Guild Wars 2.

While I personally am not a fan of chat bubbles, I am totally okay with there being the option to enable them so those that want them can have them and those that don't can have them disabled.

However if they do implement them, I would like to see it so different forms of chat communication (say, tell, shout, etc.) could be enabled/disabled independently, so if say I only wanted tells to show I could enable that and have say and shout disabled. Also I think the color of the text should display in the same colors as they do in the chat box, so that if you have multiple chat types enabled you can visually see what type they are without looking at the chat box. Lastly a setting where you can set the maximum number of chat bubbles displayed on screen would be nice in case someone wanted to enable them for ambience but didn't want the screen to turn into a sea of chat bubbles.

If they were implemented like that I might consider using them.

So which kind are you asking players to have, then?

Exactly the one I described as being against.
I'm glad we at least cleared that up.
