    Chat Fixes Can't Wait

    Whatever Trion Worlds is doing right now, it's wrong.

    Chat fixes can't wait. Period. This needed to be fixed yesterday.

    I'm sure you're all aware but for those who aren't any broadcast sent through chat can only be read when the large chat window is open. This means you can't receive, or even be aware of, chat while playing the game.

    This is horrendous.

    Not only is basic communication impossible at this point but this is starting to have some pretty negative effects on clan recruiting and I'm sure not alone with that.

    The 47th recruits in game. A lot. We spam recruiting adverts at arkfalls and sieges, we personally talk to people we meet, we keep an eye on PUGers in co-ops and PvP, et cetera. Our recruiting thread might have damn near 30k views but realistically it only pulls in 3-4 recruits per week. In-game recruiting was pulling around 2 per day.

    That's all gone. And this is affecting every clan across all platforms.

    This is extremely important to fix not just for the social aspect but players in clans are far more likely to continue playing the game because they form relationships with other players. Friends are made, there are organized clan events, frustrating things about the game are explained, certain content becomes more accessible, et cetera.

    The game explains virtually nothing in regards to mechanics so players filling in other players on stuff, like what the difference between a [4] synergy set and a [2]synergy set, is paramount to the full experience. This game doesn't even let players know that a mastered weapon won't earn them any skill XP. All of this is explained only by other players.

    Please TW, y'all gotta rectify this NOW. Nothing else is more important, least of all DLC2.

    I wouldn't say a great job. Fixing the Chat should have been the #1 addressed issue after ensuring folks got their DLC and could actually get in game. For the most part, everyone has their DLC and can generally get in game, more or less. Time to FULL STOP AND FIX CHAT.

    If I put the chat fade on full bar it stays on but doesnt fade, as soon as I drop it by one the small chat window just disappears all together

    Feel free to leave your suggestions in my thread.
    We might help developers create chat, from which we will be happy.

    I agree 110% with the OP. And even tho My Clan's recruiting has stayed consistant in game with the botched up system, I wholeheartedly agree that this needs to be fixed before ANYTHING. And not part of a DLC, but part of a regular patch.

    And.. I've said it before, and I'll say it again.. maybe with some of the Rift team over here, they'll get the hint and port over the Rift chat system, which is pretty awesome and robust as I recall

    The Devs have all the suggestions and ideas they need to get a working proper chat system in place. Its a matter of either, not enough talented people, not the right priorities, or a mixture of both. I am done with submitting bug reports, sending in feedback and all that jazz.

    Well, it's going to have to, along with the many other things that are supposedly on the way, but the question is;

    Who's going to be left when they finally do?

    You and me both, sir... you and me both. Seems like a complete waste of time.
