Least Social MMO I've ever played.

[Griffon]

-Not 1 person has used chat yet.
-No chat bubbles
-No Zone Chat
-People wont even revive you 90% of the time.

This is so true it's painful!

Because it doesn't require people to stare at the corner of the screen, and lets you easily identify the person in the crowd yelling for a heal, etc.

It's not as if it needs to be compulsory, would you protest to it being added as an option?

I wouldn't protest it no, if players want it and its easy to implement sure why not, I'd prefer it to be off by default, cba screen spammed with 100s of chat bubbles staying stupid crap. However there are more pressing problems with the chat system than a chat bubble there are also other ways to encourage social aspects of the game other than chat bubbles i.e reasons to be in a guild and reasons for players to play together.

But again all of this is something the developers can focus on after the abomination of the current voice/text chat has been fixed.

Ok, this is the second time I've seen someone say NOT to kill the skitterlings. Might I ask why? I had no idea you weren't supposed to.

The small skitterlings make weak points in the Arkfall Rock. Leave them alone. Kill the major ones and flying ones though.

yeah, making the chat window a little bigger and more persistent would go a long way to alleviating the quietness.

I tend to think that the kind of people who need a "reason" to play a multiplayer game with other people are generally lost anyway.

I suspect they also have enough developers to look at the existing chat window, the issue with saving some settings (including voice chat) *and* the possibility of chat bubbles (making chat more obvious for the people who want chat bubbles can only be a good thing for the games social aspects).

It's not like we are talking a 1 man dev team where working on chat bubbles means all work on the existing systems is abandoned.

THAT must be why I had 101 kills in the first (and last) Major Arkfall I was in last night, and was ahead of everyone else by like 40. D'oh!

Wait, who said this game was an real MMO?
I thought it was a first person shooter in a persistent world. Except for the grievers, you would not know it was a multi player game.

As for the small skitterlings make weak points in the Arkfall Rock, they need to give a in game warning, or make them unattackable, cause at the moment, you get rewarded for killing them (highest kill count) but it stuffs everyone else up. Its almost a form of grieving (like parking your large vehicle on a quest giver. Sure you can walk though a vehicle but does not mean you can CLICK on the quest giver.

I've tried to chat but can't seem to find any combination that actually sends a message... anyone know what the list of chat commands are or where to find them?

That I would like to know as well... :/ SOMEONE ANSWER PLEASE?


EDIT: That is dumb I think I will keep killing them if I feel like it After all Natjur who said it was a mmo?

[Taaltos]

Chat bubbles in this game would be...stupid.

Try aiming for mobs with a hundred chat bubbles in your way.
