Have chat bubbles been forgotten?

"Yes. We have chat bubbles working internally. So we want to enable them soon, and testing will dictate which update they arrive in."

That was on the ZOS AuA last month. I'm curious if anyone has heard of this coming soon, or has it been scrapped? After looking at my chat box and finding out that I accidently* ignored someone asking to group up it reminded me of it. So anyone have a clue? Thanks. ;)

    The majority of people would rather see more important stuff seen to first.

    Black widow & coggage I'm glad you guys pointed out how it's not that serious of an update, although I think it would have been better if you didn't respond at all since you ignored what I was asking. I'm just looking for people to discuss if the update has been mentioned lately.

    I don't think i have seen word one about them since that interview on Reddit. Honestly though, if ZOS would just add an audible cue for incoming whispers that would be ok for me.

    Sorry, was just making a joke. :)

    Was not trying to offend.

    No, the majority of people would like to see wings added to our horses.

    See, I can state unsubstantiated crap too!

    By the way, is their development process done by vote--all the programmers at Zeni gather in front of their one computer and work on the first in the list of "important stuff" that people want done first? Then they all move on to the next? They can't work on multiple things at once? And considering chat bubbles are already mostly done, why shouldn't they finish them?

    And...and...if they deal with only the important stuff--the long term, structural or complex balance issues-- they'll be working forever and never add another thing that's not in the vaunted list of "important stuff" you seem to have polled the user base on to get their preference.

    Its funny how the layman has absolutely no idea about the extent of software developing. Building a house also consist more than putting one brick on another. (especially if its a high-rise)
    No offense, just saying :p

    I think we should make the number one rule of requesting something in ESO be check addons first, then rule two, search forum for identical topics.
    "Neither a 'Borrower nor a Lender' be."
    Never Forget

    I think you have not been on the internet long enough until you have been rick-rolled.

    Because if an add-on exists, although its maintained by a 3rd party and often buggy and not as full featured, typically graphically "less then pleasing", breaks whenever there's a major update---that means Zeni should consider it JOB DONE! (rolls eyes)

    There's plenty of free space on the Internet, so extra comments won't use it up. Asking on a chat forum is going to get all kinds of comments, not just the ones you want - welcome to how the Internet works. You'll get used to it.

    Never played a game with "chat bubbles". I think that would be HIGHLY annoying personally if it is what I think it is.

    If they implement something like that there had best be an option to keep it disabled.

    I hope they have not been forgotten because the fast scrolling text gives me a headache. Chat bubbles allow one to focus purely on the conversation near one, which is a major blessing at events/gatherings.

    half of the coding for speech bubbles (in all honesty i'm expecting boxes ES:morrowind style) is there due to chat channels, it shouldnt be to difficult to move it into a new overhead box with alittle tech input
