Text chat

I just wanted to say that I am very disappointed with how they implemented text chat on consoles. It is not on by default. You got to turn it on in the options menu, so automatically you encourage players to not use it. it is the absolute bare minimum of a chat box, you cant even adjust it or move it where you want it to be and to top it off you need to go to the social tab to even type.

Very disappointed in this, Im tired of this company insulting console gamers with this subpar garbage l and I am done. I will not be playing or spending another cent on this game. The content itself is fun, the social aspects are trash.

    You can also turn it on by either pressing enter on the connected keyboard or for controller setups map + "start".

    Ive never had to turn it on. It seems always on once accessed.
    It's really easy to access intentionally or by accident.

    No it's not like PC but(excluding my many comments over the last year) it does offer what was requested mostly and it's not too obtrusive. With no mouse and without redoing the entire UI and game controlls, Id say it works but nothing inESo is added well so no suprise there.

    I already had a wireless keyboard plugged in and just hit enter. Looks and works perfectly for me.

    I'm not sure what you were expecting after the extremely generic SCT we got. It was done much better than that at least.

    Me too (only its wired). There is no special procedure to use it. Just press slash before typing something and it just works no matter what else you are doing. There are no issues at all...except the spam :)

    Pardon me if this was explained somewhere already but how do you scroll through the chat box? Hopefully that is an option lol? I mustve missed something.

    Haven't seen anything come up in the chat box that made me want to get involved in communicating - but that is what I expected.

    Text chat on console is THE most beautiful thing to ever happen on console. Coordinating with people in PvP have NEVER been easier.

    It's honestly amazing. Only did one trial before. I've done about 30 since.

    Guildies without a mid or who have to mute it probably feel a lot more involved too which is good.
