Voice chat could work, ignoring toxicity and the inherent need for moderation of course.

Never going to happen, konami doesn't want to spend the resources to moderate that when its only going to be used for trash talk and nothing else.

It would be used for more, this isn't League and even League has civil conversations and team speak. That said you are correct, the resources are not worth it to them. We don't even have all the basic features anyway. Voice chat or text chat would be a waste of time better spend updating the game so we can play tournaments using the client itself.

sure as long as I could disable it by default. Go nuts

Just add "Good game " like duel links already enough imo.

Hearthstones works well enough. Just do that.

No way the chat wouldn't turn into a disaster. Emotes/reactions would be the correct way IMO, just make it optional and with cooldowns so people wouldn't be able to spam them. Hell, they could sell exclusive reactions in the store.

Somehow, there are people out there so insecure or paranoid that they still get offended at even this. But yeah, that would be a bare minimum to not make this game a faceless npc fest

[matija123123]

Yeah why not you can always turn it off if it bothers you. Otherwise you are just sitting in a dark cold room alone in silence waiting for a snake eyes combo to be over it feels like you are playing a single player game because there is no form of communication in what is otherwise a highly social game.

[Jumbopfandbrief]

They will not because it is the easiest thing for them not to allow it. The game is being played in probably over 100 jurisdictions, each of which has different rules regarding what is inappropriately called "hate-speech" and thelike.

Why would they bother with that.

That aside, it would be nice to have something to the effect that when both players explicitely agree, then chat is possible. And each player can immediately turn it off again whenever he feels like.

That would make sense, but again, there will be at least one jurisdiction with crazy enough rules, especially regarding minors, that Konami cannot rule out completely to be held accountable.

Hence, they wont bother.

I don't get where people always pull these kinds of hypothetical what-if issues from. This is provably not a problem that exists. Anything from indie games to AAA titles to free browser games and mobile apps allow chat features without even needing any form of moderation. The ones that choose to moderate anything mostly just have automated systems that flag or punish people who receive significantly more reports than others, or automatically apply punishments if flagged phrases are used. Roblox is the only game I know of that actually moderates for the sake of maintaining a "healthy" environment, since it's probably the biggest hangout game for actual children online other than maybe fortnite or something. Then there are other games like overwatch where they heavily moderate their in-game chats to draw attention away from the actual human rights abuses going on in their own offices. Other than that, take even CS2, one of the biggest games on steam right now. There is zero active moderation, zero punishment for any chat behavior, only an automated system that mutes people who receive a significantly higher than average amount of comms reports over many games.

Do you think these games have to fill out some kinds of legal forms worldwide to make sure their in-game chat is in order with these hypothetical jurisdictions? No, it's a basic feature that's been in multiplayer games for decades. Unless your game is actively being used by an international human trafficking ring or something of that scale with plausible evidence that you were willfully allowing it, there is no law anywhere that would cause any kinds of problems whatsoever. And nothing even close to that could happen by letting you opt in to talking with your randomly matched opponent for the course of one duel before you go on to never see that person again. People already use the in-game name to write slurs, push political ideas, advertise their streams/porn, etc. If there was any law that cared about communication, this would also fall within it, and clearly nobody cares at any level of power

You know what? I'm cool with voice chat in the game. I want to hear exactly how the kind of players who can't wait their turn and DC mid combo sound like. I want to hear the stun players giggle to themselves through their retainers on turn 40. I want to hear the scam call center's chatter behind all the bot farmers.

specifically this part actually blew my mind when I tried playing MTG arena and Hearthstone. Tons of people consider it BM to even say Hello in those games. To the point where games like HS even have plugins that auto mute the opponent to avoid things like that. Very strange
