Title says everything
bothe servers i play on seem to have minimal to no chatting going on. so what about all of you?
Comments
None. Zero. Zip.
Even in public warbands I join I don't get much. I wounder if these people speak english.
I think alot of servers have little talk.. and that is because of 2 things I think.
1- People are too busy wanting to play/level/rvr/kill to worry about talking.
2- I think when people do talk they get frustrated at the chat window caue it isnt' very noticable.. alof of text goes scrolling by and you miss alot of what someone says unless you see a bubble over thier head... very confusing to people who dont' go in and customize thier chat..
very true and also, at least for me, you need to click on teh type of chat and then the chat window to be able to talk
Since most of the servers are dead I didnt see really any chat when i tried to play. But between all the memory leaks and system crashes I didnt really get a good enough chance to see any. The bit I did see was just the same stuff of "this game sucks" and " the beta testers must have been blind" and stuff like that no real conversations.
None at all. It kinda scares me. Even craptastic AoC had plenty of chat going on during beta.
Although the majority of the MMO comunity would disagree with you on AOC being "craptastic" I do agree with you that there was alot more chat. It seems as if this game is dying before its born.
i do believe one of the many things they need to work on is player interaction because it is hard to talk to people which makes relationships very hard to form
if anyone here is in a guild, does your guild chat much?
Protus.. you are still bitter about the whole AOC debacle?
I was too for awhile but I let it go man.
its ok to change your name now to Protus -WAR... and it sounds kooler
War is the next big thing man. Embrace it.. and move on.
I don't think I've seen much chat at all, if any. But I usually don't pay attention anyway; I'm so used to turning off chat in games like WoW because off all the idiots and spam. But I think that as soon as it goes live, there will be a lot more chat going on.
I still stand by my opinion that WAR is a multi-user single player game, and this lack of communication between players might just be a result of that, just a thought!
Nah.. too much of the game is geared abour PVP that requires Groups.. and alot of team oriented stuff.
PQs, instances, RVR, all rely on more than one person.. and the pve leveling isn't rich enough to stand out ABOVE all that.. to make it a single player game with multiplayer.
AOC is a single player game with multi users.. since group dynamics in that game sucked.. aggro management was NIL. and the world was just WAY too small.. but ask protus about that.> i think he is the only one here that still plays that game.
i believe they need to revamp the chat, and i too hated the excess chat in WoW but now in this game where this is practically nothing i kinda miss it. you dont realize something is there until it is gone
Its really just a single player RPG. On the rare occasion I do see people around they never speak or wanna be social. Maybe WAR is more appealing to the elderly or people new to computers it would certainly explain alot about the game if so.
I've been playing for a few weeks now and have noticed very little chat. I think as a previous poster noted it is due to the difficulty of using the chat in game, it requires 2 clicks before you can start typing and is not quite polished yet. The second thing that is causing a lack of interaction is the pvp aspect of the game. Its impossible to type and pvp at the same time.
I did join and guild and even there there is not much chatting, again I believe because of the PVP action.
I get absolutely no conversation whatsoever.
None in local chat. None in /shout
None in RvR scenarios and none in Warband.
There was only one time where I actually could carry on a conversation with my warband. Other than that its as silent as a tomb. Which scares me. Never have I experience such hardcore silence.
In Scenarios I am ALWAYS the only one talking....giving tactic advice etc
People who have to create conspiracy and hate threads to further a cause lacks in intellectual comprehension of diversity.
Tactics? You mean the zerging and 1-shotting?
I get zero talk as well. This worries me. It's really feels like a solo game to me. The last betas I played, chat was very active.
well there are tanks dps healers in this game, and if you know how to do you job you don't need some jerk screaming orders in you ear in this game, and i love that why would i want to hear some one yell orders at me when i have my rocking tunes blasting in my headphones as i chop hack slash my way in this game
good times
I see people talking all the time every day , depends on where you are in the zone etc, if your out in thw ilds and its not very populater or your in a desolate place, far corner of the world ( zone) then no you wont see much chat , and yo ushould , after al lyour alone out in the wild . There is always chat in the busy zones but not everyone responds or see's it couse of the chat color , When the game goes live im sure it will be more talkative int he busy area's , and of course when the game has been out a bit and the main city's are getting used as main hubs , thwere will be a lot of chat in the city's , you will always have times when your out in the world and no one is near yo uto talk no global chat is the best hing ever , makes the world fee lreal , nothing worse than the chat full of crap from all over the world that has nothing to do with the area your in .
i believe it will spike at realese but they need to revamp, but i am in populated area and not chatting even when it is a crowded PQ or RVR
On occasion, I do see chat in scenarios. But it is usually insults. "You people are too dumb," was one I specifially remember
.
I think the way the game is set up to be played, it discourages chat. As some have pointed out, the chat window may be too cumbersome to use (which would exclude chatting when needed as in scenarios), and pve game play just doesn't seem to encourage chatting.
Someone said that the game is a multi-user single player game, and to be honest, I can see that in the PVE areas.
I am, so far, a fan of the game and will be playing at launch. Don't mark me as a troll for these statements, but I am neither a fanboy. It is just my humble opinion.
It's a proven historical fact that beer saved humankind.
I never see any talk and the areas seem populated ( I see many avatars with a white name above their head ). Yes, constant "barrens chat" chatter is one thing, but when there is ZERO talk, it's quite another. It makes me feel alone.
exactly and without chat it is hard to make friendships and create lasting guilds. The way i have created the best guilds while playing mmos is by talking with people then becoming friends and creating or helping each other with guilds
Very little chat, iv seen a few people respond to a GG at the end of some rvr but usually nothing, one time I was doing a PQ with at least 20 others, run like crazy killing, people die, I did a AOE just the instant a group of champs spawned and they all ran at me killing me, not even a lol....its weird.
its like playing with a bunch of gold farmers
