Would you prefer that your chat box remain active during load screens?

MerlinPendragon · May 2018

No

Not if it will slow down loading further, which I imagine it would.

No

No. It would make loading screens longer. A toglable option for that would be nice so you could be happy being turned on and me not turned on and happy.

Yes

I see most people voting "No" assuming it would detract significant resources from elsewhere, slow the loading screens down or even be entirely impossible for ZOS to implement. Not only do I see no evidence to support those assumptions given chat continues during load screens already, but aside from the first point they aren't even reasons to vote that way.

Yes

Yes, if it was like in FFXIV where it remains hidden unless you open it yourself. I'd be happy to be able to tell my team that I'm having the infinite loading screen in the battlegrounds for the thousandth time.

Wat

Loading screens apart, I have a problem typing in chat and fighting at the same time. I die. Built in voice chat would be sooooo much more convenient. And if you don't like what you're hearing in the overworld. turn down the volume. At least that won't turn back up unless you do it.

Although given that it's ZOS who would be doing the programming....On second thoughts all bets are off!

Edit for typo.

how could they do this?

This is easily done, it's been part of MMO's and Online games for decades. Neverwinter Nights used to have it, so did DCUO, I think even Age of Conan did, though it's been so long since I logged in to that, I might be mistaking it for another game. There's quite a few other games that keep the chat box open and even allow you to continue typing while the load screen is up. It's not really anything new...

For my part, I'd love to see this, just as a small quality-of-life improvement, but I wouldn't cry if the Devs focused on other things.

I would prefer to have load screens that resolved faster than a typical chat conversation.

Do you guys not have the option to change transparency and chat colour on console? :-(

The only two options I see regarding chat is text size and enabled on/off.

White text. Really? Might as well give a blind man glasses.

Yes

@ZOS_RobGarrett if I could lobby for one QoL change right now it would be this.

No

I wonder if the players who complain about long loading screens are the same players now asking for extra ongoing data to be added to the loading screen?

@Tandor I wonder if the players who naysay without reading/thinking know that your chat already stays active during load but it just doesn't display?

I suspect we're both right

To the people saying that voice chat should be everywhere, are you all native English speakers? I'm not, and I know that my voice bothered and may still bother some people (French accent is far from being sexy xD). It's an international game, and while a lot of people may speak confidently in a text chat, it's most likely not the case in a voice chat.
You can still understand someone learning English in a text chat, but in a voice chat, that's an other story.
