Chat Bubbles going to disappear

[Agondray]

the problem is most of that “metric” is going to be people who went to open up a character info window and instead of opening chat.

ive know people being hunted that accidently ended up opening the window while his enemy was typing a plan to his corp to catch him

Hey CCP!

Here’s the only way that I would like to see speech bubbles returned:

I would hope they are looking at more than just if the button was clicked. I would really hooe they look more into if the clicking actually lead to a back and forth exchange or not. Still, who knows.

well lets look at it like this DMC, in it’s time in game i only had 2 people start a convo with me through clicking the bubble, both of them said oooopppss lol and closed the window.
it wasn’t in high sec and it wasn’t new players.

let’s have a look at the option to ignore and reject convos automatically. once done every gobshite that tries to start a convo and gets the rejection notice what do they do? they scream bot!

so you decide i’ll set an isk price that’s a little higher than normal to discourage random convo invites during say an important moment or operation cuz we all know there’s those that think convo spam is a weapon lol.

Yeah bro, I fully understand what you’re saying. To be honest I haven’t experienced anything with the chat bubbles. As for the ‘OMG, it’s a Bot’ behavior in-game, I blame CCP for not only allowing it to happen, but also for promoting and encouraging that type of mentality. Now about the ISK fee being charged when someone tries to implement convo, I still feel that option needs to be removed from the game. It doesn’t put any ISK into your wallet so what good is it? In order to keep players from using chat requests as a weapon when involved in an important operation, that can easily be turned off beforehand. In fact to make it easily accessible, CCP could just add the option to disable and enable chat requests in the right-click menu.

if there is one message they could punch out to the new people it’s RIGHT CLICK is your friend.

Man I completely agree 100% and then some. That’s why I pointed it out in my reply.

@xxxTRUSTxxx

I’m going to say communication does take place between people in game a lot more than this bullshite would have you think, people have moved away from in game chat systems years ago, people are on Teamspeak or Discord and that’s where they chat, I’m not saying in game chat isn’t used, i’m just saying it’s not primary for a lot of people when it comes to chatting. here’s a crazy idea CCP, setup a Discord server for new players and invite them in there and fill the place with information. i’m sure there are plenty of volunteers to man it

i will admit that in game chat is still a first contact tool and is used for intel and so on, so just point out to the new people how to chat, i’m not convinced people aren’t chatting in game because they don’t know how. i’d say it’s more on the side of hey hop on this discord and that’s where chatting in game stops.

Not everybody has ‘Voice’ capability enabled on their computers, I no longer have it now thanks to CCP removing Eve Voice. I can say from my experience the in-game chat windows are still used quite a bit, probably due to me being in NPC Corp. I agree CCP should definitely make info to new players much more accessible in-game. However I don’t think encouraging players to use 3rd party out of game applications is the answer. In my opinion it makes CCP look cheap, causes extra work and or cost to people just to play the game and more importantly, it ruins immersion into the game.

and then they were GONE!!!

[Uriel_the_Flame]

They never existed.

but 3rd parties are doing it so much better than any gaming company has ever. plus the days of playing just one game are long long gone. clans became communities and the rest is history. can’t blame CCP on this one, when the likes of teamspeak discord and twitch are kicking the shite out of any in game voice comms we can only expect what we have happening now, i mean let’s face it, discord alone leaves all comms in EVE in the dust. i mean you can talk directly with corp mates at any time of the day from anywhere in the world if you have internet coverage on discord, no game log in needed, which is also another powerful tool, the ability to communicate outside of the EVE enviroment.

i will agree with you on basic voice comms in game should be there no matter what. but it can’t compete with 3rd partys apps, it just can’t so here we are.

was a bad idea to start with and what i can’t understand is the never ending work on in game nonsense that nobody wants while other aspects of the game are in dire need of work.

@Lady_Ayeipsia

As it say a in the first paragraph, it was a way to encourage new players to chat.

you know a better way to make new players chat
can flip them and blow them up
ccp damn carebear sjws

[Ameko_Tanaka]

aww, man
I’ll miss the awkward moments I generated after accidentally opening a chat with another random guy

because that was the only thing these bubbles were good for

Yeah, guess I’m just old fashioned, I play one mmo at a time and when I’m out of game, that means exactly that. I don’t need to or even want to talk to people in-game when I’m out. I also don’t run around all day long with my phone glued to my ear either. I’m definitely not a casual player and I’m no fanatic either, I’m just a hard core player who believes the game should provide access to all apps needed to play it.

Anyway, didn’t mean to go off on a tangent, chat bubbles gone? Good, they didn’t do anything to increase my gaming pleasure. Eve Voice gone? Bad, definitely decreased my gaming pleasure. And no, I’m not gonna do Teamspeak, Discord, Twitter or whatever. The point is if I’m playing a game, I shouldn’t have to use 3rd party apps to actually play that game.

@QuakeGod

Good riddance. And no, CCP, please do not “look at player metrics and maybe re-implement it at a future date”. It was an unwanted “feature” from the start…

I didn’t use it, what was wrong with it, besides taking up space?

[Nana_Skalski]

Add emotes to chat. They will be used.
