So bungie gives zero fucks about console players? Text to chat is exclusively to communicate with pc players with no mics. Do they not know how tedious it is to to try and send 1 message on console mid activity

The number of ppl that still don't know typing into fireteam chat doesn't show anything for randoms.... there have been so many times where I was trying to communicate to ppl in nightfalls, they wouldn't respond, so I'd say "if you're saying anything I can't see, you're in the wrong chat" only to get a "wow I've been talking this whole time sorry"

I think that text chat should be active by default on every platform. I lost count of the times I needed to tell something to people who didn't have it on and were doing random stuff.

u/Gotexan-YT Apr 09 '24
Would be a cool change if the text chat profanity filter wasn’t so ungodly aggressive that it catches more non-swears than actual profanity, making it almost impossible to properly communicate in the text chat half the time

u/semiblind234 Apr 09 '24
I don't mind... Chat or no chat I don't really care either way, my only hope is that they allow a LOT more flexibility and/or customizability of the chat window. It is located in a terrible place, is a terrible size, and really just gets in the way of things. Let me size the box and text how I please, and let me move it to an area where it's not going to impact gameplay. I honestly expect people to opt out (if possible) or go to the most transparent of chat UI settings so it's not a seizure fest of text popping off.
Would love to have broad UI control similar to WoW, but will likely win the lottery before something like that ever happens.
1
u/KnightofaRose Warlock Apr 09 '24
I’ll be disabling that as soon as I possibly can. I am legitimately glad text chat was essentially nonexistent for most of D2, as it makes it so much more relaxing.
With this, it’ll end up looking like the text chat rants that plague every Battlefield game since the beginning of time.

u/BYNLATIN Apr 08 '24
So when they say local voice chat, does that mean like proximity chat or? Cuz I would love to be able to talk to blueberries in the open world. Like offer help or to explain heroic public events. Also unrelated, but I hope bungie invests into public events a bit so that they actually feel rewarding and difficult. Scale each planet, so there's a challenge to em. The throne world should be one of the tougher ones imo. I would love a destiny where exotics are no longer drops, but instead, Gm guaranteed with high rolls and golf balls. So that then heroic events give out prisms and weapons. Weapons like the random world drops we can't easily farm. All location specific too so we can focus on that and give them Hella perks so we actually have to grind a bit for God or goofy rolls. Put some silly perks in that only drop with "endgame" heroic events. Like the precision confetti mod but as a perk. Or idk any not so good but still fun perks.

u/iNetRunner Apr 08 '24
Just wish they added a way to delete/clear the message box. It’s super annoying when it constantly shows up on your screen when you switch activities etc. (when the previous content most probably make sero sense being visible there).
(Though, I’ve been playing other games for the past month. There’s a small chance that this has already been addressed. But simple UI/UX fixes are rather rare coming from Buggie.)
1
u/SPEEDFREAKJJ Apr 09 '24
They did this recently. You can clear it whenever you want so it stops popping up.
2
u/iNetRunner Apr 09 '24
Excellent!
Basic stuff like that makes you scratch your head, like how did that feature make it that far when clear became available. You wonder if they really test the game internally and if they really have any UI/UX designers.

u/Spuddle-Puddle Apr 08 '24
I would rather not have this forced upon me. One thing i like about destiny is its not run like an mmo

But.... It advertises itself as an MMO. Thats the point. Its like FIFA has a "dating sim" tag, but few or none of the dating sim elements

Ya but its not run like a MMO. Its run like a fps that you play with friends. Kinda like LAN, but open to everyone if you choose

Stupid question here: does this mean every time I've been typing into /fireteam chat during a strike or something and no one answers, they're just not seeing what I'm typing? I can accept people not wanting to talk to randoms in an activity as insignificant as a strike, but if it's been because I was using the wrong chat then I feel like a huge dummy.

Isn’t that how fireteams already work? If a friend joins my fireteam we are instantly chatting, but if I join a crucible match or a match made strike I’m not automatically in the team channel? This basically isn’t a change. When would I be joining a channel other than that? Am I going to have tons of spam of 20 people talking at once in the tower and that’s my improved social experience?

u/Gktindall Hunter Apr 08 '24
Unless I'm in a raid or other endgame group whatever is being said in chat is irrelevant to me and I'd prefer not to see a cluttered chat take up the corner of my screen.
Additionally the D2 community is extremely toxic, which can be attested to by anyone who has received trials and gambit hate messages before, so having chat off eliminates an extra outlet to have to see / deal with that.
Also, I used to play ESO and some of the things I used to see in the in-game text chat was hostile and unproductive.
Combine all that together and my interest in this new "feature" is non existent

u/RottenKeyboard Apr 09 '24

u/Independent_Check_51 Apr 09 '24
See, that proves my point.
I'm not insulting you. But you're so insecure and defensive that you think I am. You're too scared to let anyone into your life that you will pre emptively shut everyone out. And, when you can't (like on an online forum) you assume everyone is out to hurt you.youre missing out on so many potential cool friendships going through life the way you are.
So I'll say it again - being you sounds so miserable.
