Chat Bubbles & In game Voip

[Kes13a]

After saying this you don't ask a question.
Did it get lost in editing?
Am I missing it?
Could you restate your question please?

you are right lol, my sincere apologies.

Given SE's past treatment of RP'ers, targeting them instead of the RMT people who seem to be able to do whatever they want and make real money off SE, is there an actual perception in the RP community that SE would somehow change their ways and do something for RP'ers despite essentially throwing away their money to do it?

"what if FFXIV had proximity chat" Warning, coarse language.

But damn funny and wayy too true.

I do not want voice chat in game, if you wanna talk to people there's plenty of solutions that are free and easy to use.

Haha~
I love the part with the crafter~

Sure. It's probably not something I'd use, but it's nice to have options.

[Alleluia]

Don't need VOIP, but the chat bubbles as an option seems cool. Would be best to have options to show friends/FC/party/everyone or any combination thereof.

[Hysorn]

I love chat bubbles, it's usually is a client side thing so it doesn't weigh much on the server and it doesn't tax much on the framerate. I don't see much of a reason not to have that, make it optional for those that dislike changes.

I am not all that huge on the VOIP though, WoW tried that and it flopped hard, not because it was bad, but because Discord is a hell of a lot better to organize and it has a function for temporary membership that only allows you to join only a single voice channel for those that don't want to get their group/fc Discord's filled with randoms.

[Exosapien]

I don't think in-game VOIP is necessary at all, and it likely wouldn't even be as close to as user friendly as the options we already have like discord.

Chat bubbles would be cute though.

honest question though to the RP crowd asking for these....

SE hasnt been exactly what I would call "supportive" of RP'ers, if you do not recall, there were bans earlier in the year for advertising RP events, (while the RMT people advertised their hearts out and nothing happened to them)

A little late but SE is actually incredibly supportive of RPers, pointing them out as the reason they add small "immersive" things like eating, sweeping, and similar emotes, the RP player symbol, the housing tags, etc. The pf takedowns were done by a lone moderator who was made to stop shortly after their actions were brought up to SE.


As for chat bubbles, I actually don't see a point to them for RP as RP is (from my own experience) usually more in /em or /party and not /say. Speech bubbles would include the actions in them which would look awkward above a characters head. Either way, if optional then it being added would be fine, but I wouldn't be using it as someone on a busy server.

5 USD a pop, mogstation only. "Supportive" alright.

Doesn't negate the smorgasbord of free rp stuff they implemented in the game.
