Text Chat Time

[legionofear]

The time to view text chat is WAY too small. If I don't see it right away then I have no chance of seeing what they said. I looked through the options but I couldn't find any way to make it last longer or stay perminantly. Can we have an option to make the time longer and/or add functionality to scroll through chat history? It would make talking to teamates a lot easier.

Also, side note, why do I sometimes spawn instantly at base when I die instead of going to the spawn menu? I want to spawn at squad locations but randomly it forces me to go to base.

I agree entirely. There are certain messages I need to see be it at the moment of it being sent or looking for it after.

I can deal with the current system as I have with previous games, but it would just be nice to have a chat history and/or a prolonged message time.

If I'm worried about a message I missed, I just pull down the console with ~... all messages are listed there.

It's clearly not an ideal solution but may work as a stopgap until the devs respond with something more elegant.


If you're spawning back at base suddenly, it could be because your CO has activated a respawn/reinforcement call that dumps people back on the battlefield without a respawn timer.

Thank you so much. I had no idea you could do that.

The worst is when you are typing something and some menu like the spawn menu pops up and it covers the chat!!
