Greatest Anti Social Game Ever!

[Aen]

Love the game. So much fun. But does anyone miss a community in game? I got a guild with TONS of members in it, but none of us can talk to each other?? What is the point of an MMO if we can never speak to each other in game??

How are we supposed to discuss if we want to group up and do some dungeons together or some pvp? you cannot.

Forces people to get on voice chat by a third party. Not everyone wants to get into voice chat on a 3rd party server either.

Next is the horrible voice chat. Go into a dungeon and you get people that play with an open mic. I dont want to hear some out of breathe person panting into the mic thinking "omg wtf is he doing???" Having to turn the voice chat ON then back OFF because it just doesnt work right.

Game is fun, but it just lacks the social experience. Play Call of Duty for this time of interaction.

Love the game, fix the chat please!

What can you do? I mean it is a console game, the PC version is probably more social of course. Plus I don't think most people are use to a mmo on the console, so there is that too. The whole chat thing, they been working on it eventually mics will work, maybe.

DCUO has good chat for an mmo that's on a console.

Ah right, I stand corrected. So what is the problem with Defiance on the console? What makes the social different than DCUO anyway?

The PC version isn't social at all. In the two weeks since release, I could fit everything I've seen on the chat pane into one paragraph.

Weird I would think with a keyboard, people would actually chat. Since in most PC mmo I have played people talked alot.

Mic chat only works in groups, should be able to put it on clan chat too. The chat box disappears off your screen too quickly and you can't scroll back on comments without going into menu. You have to go through too many button presses just to type on console without a keyboard, on DCUO it was a press of a button and virtual keyboard was up. They need some form of world chat so you can talk to players in a wider area than the area chat we already have, maybe in phases/regions would work better in this game though. That's all I can think of atm, bit tired

no global chat and u cant whisper people. and the chat is in a tiny box on the bottem right of the screen.
it really is my biggest gripe with the game. got sold on oh its multiplayer but it feels more like a singleplayer game with bots in it,
infact i cant be sure there not bots.

you console guys must have it worse though not sure its fixable on consoles.

There's no purpose to it. Before the patch, the chat pane was small and text disappeared within a second of the last message posted, and it only worked with people within about 30 feet of each other.

They've fixed some of it, but it doesn't change the fact that the chat distance is still absurdly small. You can't even talk to everyone at a single Arkfall point because chat won't go across the entire affected area.
