Players won't always have time to read what's been said to them in the heat of battle. Allowing us to simply click on our chat hotkey to read All/Team messages + allowing us to respond would be VERY efficient.

[Subdivision]

I agree.

But not with your silly use of colours

[Saefer]

I'm ok with just using console "~" to read chat.

However, I would like the chat to remain on screen a bit longer, I hardly notice it.

[Merxe]

Agreed. Currently chat fades together with messages about kills and I barely spot those, even though the font is large for a short time. I see that Hawken has practically the same chat as Tribes: Ascend. Although somehow in T:A it's more visible.
There needs to be a chatbox. The best one I ever saw in an FPS was in Enemy Territory. It was in the bottom middle of the screen and it was used A LOT. Right now there is some space on the HUD so it might be worthy to consider.

It would be also very good to actually be able to customize your HUD in the Options in your Garage, where you could just drag and drop the chatbox to be shown wherever you want.

yeah, could stay on a bit longer.

Right now typing out a message to my team to try and organize is totally out of the question. The chance that a team-mate will see my message in the heat of combat is very low. The Console chat simply doesn't cut it in my opinion.

bump.  This is needed 100%.  Next build imo.  It will make it easier to balance a game when the players know how to play.

I'm not sure it was necessary to bump this thread. There are several others exactly like it already, covering more or less everything said here and more. There may have even possibly been a dev response.

People, you need to learn how to use the search. Yes, RedVan, I know you didn't create this thread. But you did create this one. Why did you bump both_ It's only going to clutter up the forums that much more than they already are with all the others who don't search before hitting the "Start new topic" button.

I would like chat also in the pre-game

[Cottonmouth]

pre & post game chat boxes, as well as CLEAR distinction between combat log and player chat needs to be established.

[c0mad0r]

We talked about this in Alpha and I've seen some improvements in this category, but I agree we need to have some pre-game and post-game chat boxes for social interaction.

[Ant_Monster]

Yea that's a good idea, pre-game, and post game chat boxes would be nice. I was also thinking about the ability to mute another player, or to see who's talking on the mic.

[IvanSidorenko]

How about they make it so Chat does not turn into SMALL LETTERS if anything let the actions as in Kills/Deaths turn into Small letters but allow Player Written chat to always be the big size.

[AmericanWolf]

I'd really like to be able to see who is chatting as well.  It's gets a bit chaotic during the battle.

[QuantumHive]

I agree with this thread's topic.

[Grayk]

I also agree.
Deploying the chat history by pressing "t" key would be a good idea, isn't it_ :-)

Lol funny picture. But yea, I agree.

[KaszaWspraju]

I want option to chat off.

Only team chat on.

Yes, I did create that thread.  BEFORE this thread was created.  tyvm.

This basic feature is important enough to warrant both threads imo, so, frankly I don't care (and I knew full well) that I bumped both threads one right after the other

Also, bump

Because the other 10 threads just weren't enough, right_

Seriously, stop bumping threads. The devs are going to do more than just look at the first page when they come to collect suggestions.
