@ZOS - console text chat suggestion (when added)

NewBlacksmurf

@ZOS
When you all add this to consoles, in whatever manner you do so...
(it would be nice if you go ahead and state exactly what this will look like and how it will work)


Please be 100% sure that in recent interactions, both voice and text chat player names fall within this recent interactions tab.
As today this tab should allow us to quickly interact with built in options.....such as
-invite to group
-trade
-invite to guild
-mute/ignore
-mail
-respond(whisper via each in-game or console msg systems)


I'd also suggest that you redesign these interfaces because if you do not, it will cause ppl to spam text.

Perhaps offer an option for broadcast/proximity text such as channels or filtered text
-WTS
-WTB
-LFG
-Doleman
-Quest



Just throwing things out there....we don't know if you're going with a chat box, or some other ideas so until you show this, I thought to write this post.
I'm sure others who desire this will critique and offer their feedback.
Just setting a stage for it to occur

All it needs are channels. Such as a sales channel, group channel, area channel and quest channel. Would solve a lot of spam. Want to buy stay in sales as for selling. Want to group only you only need to be in one. Keeps like minded together.

Totally agree. Keep it a simple chat box with different channels.

***Just to clarify****
text options like WTS, WTB, LF guild/group, LF trial, etc would only apply by location.

If in a town, the broadcast opens up for WTS, WTB, LFG/guild or group/trial

If outside of a town, the broadcast opens for Quest, Doleman, Group, Trial

All situations....broadcast local zone (general)

But we all benefit from the text chat and voice chat systems to all work together in one interface and not have the same voice chat interface and then add in a text chat box with different options.

Just suggesting possible ways to keep things clean and clear as channels don't work in a combination of voice and text independent so let's make them work together so the UI's need a lot of reworking.
