LoverNoFighter Posted February 4, 2015 Author Share Posted February 4, 2015 Hell yes to chat bubbles! I personally couldn't care less and would probably deactivate them anyway, but if you can't see how RP'ers want chat bubbles you must really have a limited ability to put yourself in somebody elses shoes. Listen to this person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghoul_drool Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 I would be in favor of chat bubbles, it'd be great. However, realistically - we're dealing with a game that simply cannot accommodate it. The servers can't handle it. They can't handle open world PVP, heck, they can hardly handle Strongholds without having to impose ridiculous limitations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legolose Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 SPEECH BUBBLES. About time you people implemented them????Well its been 3 years and they haven't done anything,, Soooo, what does that tell you ?????? its really simple if you think about it ,,, Really it is,,, Maybe think about that before making a thread about something that isn't going to happen, its like asking BW to add in the game some shaved, ewok, strippers with tendencies to eat brains, it makes no since & therefore wont be added,,, Geez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shoraan Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 That's certainly a plausible explanation, but until one of their engine devs comments on it it's still speculation. That and how many people who parrot "engine engine" could even give that good of an explanation on why they couldn't get it to work? Most assume that any issue that comes up is caused by the engine. I found this post here: Some technical background on chat bubbles The thread this post is part of shows that the devs were very busy implementing all kinds of features that people now take for granted but didn't exist at launch, e.g. UI customization, i.e. separate area for buffs/debuffs, scaling of icons, etc. As in many cases the question here is probably not "Is it possible?" but "How much time will it cost to implement that? Could we add several other UI features instead?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gronkagin Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 I'm glad this game doesn't have chat bubbles. I prefer Vent or any other voice chat. Agreed. THIS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raphael_diSanto Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Oh im sure you could but i imagine the flamefests from angry basement trolls when they hear the voice of that slave gear wearing twi'lekk they initially appriached hoping to ERP up sound like a 300 lb trucker whos smoked 3 packs a day forv 20 years will be absolutely fricking -hilarious- As many rants as i have seen in gen chat from sad sad men/boys who find out their new "female" friend is really played by a guy is evidence enough for me I'll just leave this here: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ivanhedgehog Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 It's reasonable to assume that there would be a toggle in preferences IMO. Maybe they could get it to work if they restricted it to members of a group/Opsgroup as a compromise. its biowart, why could you reasonably assume that? maybe a cartel market purchase but not for free. and a week later they will nerf it so the speech bubbles are only in latin.

ivanhedgehog Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 As always, people going on about how the "engine can't handle it" when they have no idea what they're talking about. The chat bubbles causing performance issues says nothing of whether or not the engine could handle it, only that the way it was implemented caused performance issues. Unless you're privy to information the rest of us aren't? always good to have a dev like you that will help us out and set things straight.

MillionsKNives Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 always good to have a dev like you that will help us out and set things straight. You're welcome. And I'm flattered that you would mistake me for a dev, but alas I am just a humble guy who is happy to point out when someone is making unfounded claims.

Ilgust Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Yeah because having a clusterf*cked screen filled with chatbubbles makes the game so much better... Please let it go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unibim Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 The borked Hero engine is just so phenomenally awful that the game would drop to 0.0001fps with speech bubbles implemented (excuse the hyperbole) But they implemented a moving camera for cutscenes! Bubbles could be possible to implement too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
