fanowson Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 I Don't Know if people have made this suggestion yet, but having chat bubbles for /say and /yell helps combine the conversations into the world and make it feel more like the people are actually there other than just seeing it up in the corner with all the other chat IMHO. If people don't like them you could just put a option in preferences to turn it off but I would really like them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owlofdeath Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Whole heartedly agreeing with this. Both me and my friends miss chat bubbles. I hope they're incoming soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lavindathar Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Agree 100%. Can't believe this was omitted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyuronous Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 I agree completely. It's one of those little things that you don't really think you'll miss but when you're actually playing the game something just feels off... Especially if you're roleplaying.

Valeena Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 I agree. I really, really, really miss chat bubbles. I can't tell you how many times I missed what someone was saying to me because I don't pay attention to my silly chat box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anamelle Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 I don't like chat bubbles. They break immersion for me totally. I do understand that some people can't seem to be able to role play without them so I hope they are introduced as an optional feature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nite_shade Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 (edited) I don't like chat bubbles. They break immersion for me totally. I do understand that some people can't seem to be able to role play without them so I hope they are introduced as an optional feature. Chat bubbles really do help in my humble oppinion, i personally cannot be bothered reading the chat, as I can't be done with half of the kiddy speak that goes on most of the time. The games linear* (single player KOTOR3) enough. So having chat bubbles might make it more like an MMO, afterall, ALL MMOs have chat bubbles Plus It'll help with RP and when you're focused on your group (being an healer), I don't want to take my eyes off my group to have to read the party chat when a bubble would suffice * Linear: Very tunnel/corridor driven (great game so don't get me all wrong, it's just not what I'd call a true MMO) Edited January 20, 2012 by nite_shade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I role played in an MMO without them for over 6 years. I do understand it's your preference, that's why I hope they introduce it but as an optional feature. Personally, I can role play without them easily and I dislike them as they break my immersion in the world. To each their own. I got called a hater in general chat for disliking them once and I really don't understand people's reaction. If people want them, fine, I hope Bioware introduces them, since we might get more roleplayers that way. I do want to be able to turn them off though.

CptSponge Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 I'd love an option to turn it on! Really think it takes away a part of the social aspect of the game. Makes for a less clunky way of communicating than having to read a chat box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kumacurry Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Have to agree with Anamelle, chat bubbles does not fit into SW. It's ok for many other MMOs, mostly asian, but there are MMOs where it would looks just silly, swtor included. I agree though that UI needs a big redesign including the chat look and feel to better help with filtering general spam from yells/says/roleplay. Best if we could change bars sizes and have multiple chat windows open (i like to have says/yells on bottom screen). But chat bubbles would turn this in some kind of silly comics. I would expect to meet then longear halfnaked alien soon.... I guess it would be ok to have it as optional feature you can turn on, but to have better immersion it would be imo better, if character that says something did some kind of dialogue animation.
