For the love of god, IMPLEMENT A NEW CHAT SYSTEM!!

April 18, 2009 9:56:07 PM from Demigod ForumsDemigod Forums

I cannot emphasize how much this kills the game.

 

There needs to be a chat box that stays on the screen with messages. I've missed messages from allies asking for help countless times due to that chat screen fading away so fast and being invisible in general.

 

It's really hard to coordinate attacks with teammates when 1)the chat system is a complete failure and 2)there's no minimap pinging. No, we're not gonna press enter every 30 seconds in the middle of battle just to check if we missed a message.

 

Please work on a better implementation.

Yeah i complained about this way back in b1 taht they need a background to the text so you can see it, and a beep when it comes up, and for words to stay longer.  They never improved it though

An audio cue and the messages staying for a bit longer would be nice.

Yeah, definately room for improvement here. Don't need a new system, just background and longer duration.

There is a map ping system -- hit "p" with your cursor on the ping-point.

At the moment I press enter, that shows all text. Then press enter again without typing and its gone.

Not if the map is very white   And sometimes things are urgent and you miss them.
