Chat Bubbles In Game!! Will Make Community Better

[LaylaTsarra]

No chat bubbles please. Don't support this in the least.

Idk about your Limsa but mine has barely anyone speak in /say chat. Its all in /tells.

Dang, Gilgamesh Limsa is pretty nuts. I'm not even certain i remember what a calm Limsa looks like anymore. xD

But yes it's very chatty in terms of just openly typing in channels like /say /shout /yell

An option to turn on and off the chat bubbles with customizations ( I dislike the current chat bubbles ) will satisfy both chat bubbles supporters and chat bubbles haters ( Since you get full control over chat bubbles )

I'd love chat bubbles even in big crowded places i see no issues with having chat bubbles, always nice to see who is talking and having a chat bubble above the persons head.

It could work and it’s already there in some form : when you get close to NPCs they do have « chat bubbles ». So it’s there, just not for Player Characters.

For those saying « but but what about crowds or Limsa ! », well either it could be disabled but the fact the feature works only when you’re close to the subjects should be enough on its own.

Some weirdos are against others having the option of enjoying social interaction, but I really want the devs to understand how much this simple addition would improve existing in their game world.

Atleast add an option turn on/off chatbubbles

This will make the game so much more enjoyable for all platform

Yes, if we can also have filters.

Oh please! I would love this as a toggle option.

Can't count the number of times someone tried to say something important in party chat but I didn't catch it in time because I was too busy staring at everything happening in the middle of the screen.

If you guys play on pc, I think quicklauncher already have this option. Maybe.

[Jeeqbit]

Why do they matter so much? Just look in your chatbox. Everything would get confused and lost in chat bubbles.

[Breakbeat]

imagine walking into Limsa with that on.

Okay, doing that. I have a pretty good idea what it would look like, because:

- Walking into Orgrimmar or Ironforge with it on was just fine. "Chat bubble screen flood" was never an issue in WoW. You'd zone into a packed city at peak play times and there would be one or two folks (out of a hundred or more) talking with /say in chat bubbles. Usually the same few folks, day after day.

- It's literally the same here. I zone into Limsa when its packed, and there's always the same three or four people using /say, while most other chat comes up in yells or shouts or general or whatever those channels are called around here (not big on chat config... yet.)

Chat bubbles would be a cool addition to this game.

As usual, with most ideas about benign optional QoL features, folks who don't particularly want chat bubbles shouldn't feel any need to stand against their addition. If they were optional, you could turn them off. If a single soul benefits from them, and those that want to can remain unaffected, then they're a positive improvement. It doesn't matter if one personally thinks they are stupid or a waste or bad or whatever. Some people would like them, and those that don't can uncheck the box.

To stave off all the possible angst that comes from changing a menu option, I'll personally compensate, in gil, for time spent unchecking that box. Look me up on Goblin should optional chat boxes come to pass and I will kindly give anyone 2 gil for that second they spent on my (our) behalf. Wouldn't want anyone to waste precious time without being compensated. /smh
