[PC] Text chat... here it is

Having used it a little bit, here's the situation:

 

- No alert to new messages when hidden - you have to bring the chatbox up (F3) and check

- Can't pan around the car with the mouse while it is displaying

- Can't use mouse to move around the map view while it is displaying

 

+ Defaults to a good location, balances easy to read with not being in the way or too far out of the way (glance reading)

+ Can be moved and resized (drag top-left / bottom-right corners)

+ Can choose to chat with Crew or Freeride session - don't have to read other people's chat that you're not interested in.

Imagine there is a chat in game and noone uses it :(

 

Its a pity actually. I think chat is the most important thing for MMORPG's. NFSW went down the road went they deactivated the chat. Sometimes I only logged in to chat with friends and hang around somewere in the world.

 

I hope it gets used more in The Crew

Something is better than nothing - in the beta there was no way to communicate with people if they weren't in your Steam/Ubi friends list, and that method was highly disruptive.

The big problem is that with no notifs is it's still potentially impossible to communicate with randoms if their chatbox is always hidden.

 

 

Maybe we need to come up with a universal horn morse code that means check the chatbox.

 

 

A small blinking icon to indicate new messages would suffice, short of an option for a classic TDU1 style text chat.
