Chat System

[DTM]

I have a headset w/ mic, not everyone joins voice chat.

This game is 100% reliant on teamwork

Ping system is good, but we need an in-game chat system. Would be nice to be able to type to people - no reason not to have one in this day and age imo

[Blunted by Wizardry]

I think its broken.

Sadge

Hopefully it's fixed/added in soon, was it there in beta?

Bro, trust me, you don't want to use your voice in this game with random people on your team.

[DTM]

I wanna be able to type to people "group up" or whatever. So far all voice chat has been in 10 games is: 2 ppl have talked total and they were just raging about dying

edit: to be clear, I'm saying we should have both voice (which we have) and text chat

If your awareness is good, you shouldn't need voicechat, not until top 1% elo anyway (not that this game has proper elo matchmaking in ranked).

Unless they are top 1% their comms will be worse than having no comms, at least from my overwatch experience. That's if you don't just hear N* every time they die.

It's not about awareness imo, it's about people spawning and running in random directions instead of going to the pinged objective

The games new so it's chill, people who haven't played beta such as myself are figuring it out

But even I know to focus the objectives and push as a team, seems some ppl need that extra guidance like "group and push vault" or whatever the situation warrants to be typed out for them to read and know wtf to do

EXACTLY!!

[Alone4ever]

Yeah I prefer to type than voice chat. But I think it would be hard to type while playing against two teams maybe.

If they are not going to your pings or following you, you are free to follow them instead.

You're right, and I have a few times
But that's not really a solution, just a work around.
Text chat would be dope to be available, even for talking to the other team after the game ends
Not for ♥♥♥♥ talking (which yes, some people will do) but being able to say GG or whatever at least

I do agree team and match text chat would be nice (with options to leave them of course).

i think the voice chat is off by default, was for me.
A text chat system may, and thats a very shaky may, work.
Most random's i meet across games don't even use it unless its minecraft and taking up half your screen.
