Being denied the ability to ask questions in Feast is miserable

[Nalien]

Care to point out where people are asking for chat in the middle of matches? All I've seen is people suggesting it at the start (to detail a strategy) and the end (to GG/etc.);

- Add chat in post and pre game. Middle of the match is too hectic to type anyway.

I'd rather have people playing mid-match than being keyboard warriors.

That said, I see no reason why we cannot have access to chat during the minutes wait at the start of matches... Whole point of that wait is to prepare, I imagine, strategy... Can't really do that when you cannot say a word to your team, though...

I never said removing the chat was the ultimate panacea to solve toxicity btw, all I suggested is that SE probably thought that, given the situation and how insanely rude people were, the removal of the chat was the lesser evil here.

I never said you were, I was merely preemptively dispelling the idea that I'm suggesting bringing chat back would "fix" Feast. It wouldn't, it would simply fix one aspect of Feast, albeit an important one IMO. The actual gameplay, matchmaking, and individual Job balance still need a hell of a lot more work than SE will ever put into it, but at least having chat back would make it far easier for players who do want to see Feast flourish. As I've said, SE threw the baby out with the bath water, you mute everyone and now it's an uphill battle to get helpful advice out to new players, such players turn away from the mode as a result. Just mute the people who are toxic and let the decent people carry on and support the Feast community. Literally the best of both worlds, and I'm still waiting on one good reason why this shouldn't be done.
