Pls: Add a Chat Function

[-=BalrogDx=-]

Dont understand Magic Games have no Chat, its a standard in online Games-why you dont want it? It seems you decide you will not integrate a chat tool which is very strange and kills the community interactions.
Yeah-the emotes are nice, but they are very limited.

SO: Pls add a chat possibility.

It be too much for them to manage, no way they're gonna give players the ability to gives strikes vs other players lol
Sounds like you're a pretty lonely person, I still think the toxicity would be too much for them to keep track of, and why have chat if you're just gonna mute 80%+ of the people anyway

tabletop MTG was a big deal for me a thousand years ago in uni and I expected smth like that but with the whole Internet instead of a bunch of MTG buddies.

To me it looked obvious that a chat is a must-have part in an online version of MTG because it would keep people in the game.

this exactly. after not playing for about 2-3 years, I now even consider rather playing MTGO again, just to be able to talk about the friggin game my opponent and me are playing - and most importantly -, to add someone afterwards, if it was a great game - and chat.

Yes, please, give me a way to have dumb quasi-political arguments in the game too. I need something to do while waiting for the triggers to resolve.

[Iroquois Ingram]

absolutely :D and if it isn't fun; mute.

If I play online (vs non-AI), I want to be able to interact with my mates or opponent in every possible way. But with MtG:A it's more like "ahh, well, maybe I'm even only playing with/against a bot, who tf knows. why am I even playing, anyway." - I'm definitely not playing for stats or to win and show everyone I'm the best. I want a frickin experience with the game, and the social part is/should be inextricably from the game.

I mean, why tf isn't there even a lobby.

[Menagerie]

All for this as long as I get a "Mute all" setting in the game settings. Sometimes I just wanna play cards and I don't want to have to mute every game.

[Berserkr]

Yeah I still stand firmly by my reply #9, I think it would get way too toxic and out of hand more than it would be a good thing

A year late but would love this function, people saying it would be too toxic just don't understand "mute"

[GreenMachine]

there is nothing to say to anyone in this game other than "Hurry up u little sh.it and play ur cards! Next time read ur cards b4 u start the match."

It'll be all toxic, and when they start banning ppl for speech then they will lose players.

It is nice to have feedback that you actually playing against real humans. I'm sure there will be a point where online games have more ai agents or bots than players. The banana 🍌 game is mostly bots. I think I would go to solo player games rather than play against bots, unless there was some kind of story driven element associated with it

[ChaffyExpert]

Because too many mono-black mono-red and blue control decks would be bullied and cry when they find out nobody likes them.

Hahah, you've nailed it regarding loneliness!

I admit that my expectations regarding social part in MTGA might've been inaccurate — tabletop MTG was a big deal for me a thousand years ago in uni and I expected smth like that but with the whole Internet instead of a bunch of MTG buddies.

But MTGA actually has other mechanisms of keeping gamer's attention, more PayPal-friendly I'd say :)

Join discord, or "looking for players" thread here on steam? One of many "players playing this game" groups?

Also:

can't believe that COLLECTIBLE card game with huge gamba/RNG/GACHA core is money oriented?! It's almost as if, developers and companies would like to earn money!? What a novel idea!

[BastardfromAsgard]

yes please i will say so many thinks to other players XD

[Argstein]

i just got the "I'm on a quest!" phrase emote and it's nifty

[CourtJesterCowboy]

There will never be chat because it would be too much fun talking crap and people would cry and liberals would try and politicize it then Wizards would lose money punishing their little addicts because they said meenie head things

[MonkeyHotDog]

Too many snowflakes playing magic, they would get too salty and wotc cant handle all the reports for "bad manners". The emotes are enough

[Chad "The King" ThunderCuck]

i cant even report a player without filling out a questionnaire on a separate website, and you want to *talk* to these idiots?
