As I sit in yet another 5 minute load screen, I think to myself about how awesome it would be if I could let my bg team know they are getting hosed by my loadscreen misfortune. @ZOS_GinaBruno are you able to tell me why this isn't a thing? Does anyone know if an addon would be able to offer this function?
Also, poll time! Do you want this feature?

✭YesWould be funny if loading screens got their own channel, so it's a global chat perpetually filled with pissed off people.
Really we do it without like, the musical instruments. This is the only musical: the mouth. And hopefully the brain attached to the mouth. Right? The brain, more important than the mouth, is the brain. The brain is much more important.17 -

✭YesYes...but i fear what chat might become if that happened! :-)"The red pill and its opposite, the blue pill, are a popular cultural meme, a metaphor representing the choice between:
Knowledge, freedom, uncertainty and the brutal truths of reality (red pill)
Security, happiness, beauty, and the blissful ignorance of illusion (blue pill)"

blacksghost✭✭✭✭No, I’d be happy with the ability to cancel a load screen (ie cancel going through that door/ wayshrine jump I just selected)Everything will be alright in the end, if its not alright its not the end.1 -

Azuramoonstar✭✭✭✭Nono, because tech isn't there. Never seen mmo have chat box visible during a loading screen.
I would like option to turn off fading, and set up chat tabs, so i can hide zone chat if i wish.Long time mmo player: 2004-[current year]

✭✭✭✭✭YesAt least a limited version with access to guild chats would be nice from character select. As is, when I'm jumping between characters, I tend to lose track of guild conversations. Being able to see it on load screens would also be really nice, though I kinda suspect the chat's backend doesn't really support either.0 -
Serjustin19✭✭✭✭✭Also when you getting kicked out of game. If voice chat still works, why can't regular chat work?Formerly Serjustin19, Save for Forum Of Course.... Fiery_Darkness (PC NA) currently.0 -
jaschacasadiob16_ESO✭✭✭✭✭In the case of PS4 you can fix the problem by joining a Party rather than the in-game chat."Yesterday while searching a barrel in vVoM I found a lemon. Best drop of the whole run."

So you don't want it because you've never seen it implemented in another game; sound logic.Leylith - MagSorc | Leyloth - StamPlar | Leynerd - MagPlar | Leylit - StamBlade | Ley Eviticus - StamDK | Leydor - MagDen | Leylum - StamSorc | Leylux - MagBlade0 -
