Co-op suggestion: Text Chat

[FRIENDLY MAN]

It makes sense to be able to communicate with people, especially in public co-op. There were times I wish I could co-ordinate loadouts and team revive purchases with my teammates over the chat. Instead the game is just weirdly silent even though you are trying to work efficiently with others.

they tryed that once it lagged it alot thats why coop took so long to come out

it would be best if you can, but if its lagging the game then we should probably avoid it. it's not so hard to read body language either on the game.

duels i wouldn't object to, but it wouldn't be good to put it in LBS. teaming in LBS is already an epidemic more or less, and has no drawbacks, so we don't need it to be easier, if anything we need things that will actively discourage it.

Why not just have a team mode?

thats planned i believe, but that won't actively discourage teaming in LBS either. in fact its so effective i don't feel like it would effect it at all.

Maybe in coop it could work, but don't forget that a simple way to type words won't be enough. Sooner or later, there will be spammers and abusers, so you also need a mute function, possibly moderators too, if it were implemented in LBS. So please keep it out of LBS at least, it will develop into a toxic mess quickly.

I also think that the way you have to use gestures to get across messages is interesting. I would rather like to see gestures added to the game rather than chat.

And let's not forget that talking human robots are against the lore, as the commentators say at times for the "purple robots" tag on workshop levels.

If you have a chat you can inform other players of a teamer and gang on them together lol

yeah, but knowing the players i definately feel like that is not what people would use it for.

they are against the lore, true, but then you have to remember that multiplayer in general is kinda againt the lore too.
