New auto-chat select is horrible. Please put it back

[Serancha]

This needs to be put back asap. Please.

I lead a guild and especially at event time, need to answer questions by pm / guildchat as well as speak to my party. Having to delete names /guildchat /officer /partychat every time I want to speak is a huge waste of time, and making me unable to even answer half my messages, as I have parties waiting on me. This is terrible for communication with anyone, and especially for someone who often has 5 or 10 conversations running at a time.

It's not even using the abbreviated /g /o /p - it's the whole stupid command that needs deleting every time I want to say anything to anyone. I rarely get angry about things, but this has just ruined the entire update day.

Button layouts on the hud would be a much more effective way to illustrate the purpose of quick chats.

Have like 4 load outs that you can save.

Example: You set a /g command, so everytime you tap on that loadout, the chatbox opens up with that command.

I've already mistakenly PM'd someone "/g lol"

[aarrgggggg]

im not liking the new chat either.....200 wc's in 3 hours lol

[Serancha]

It's the fact that we have to delete the entire commnds every time we want to say anything. It's also not remembering the last chat properly. I have had to delete /recommand up to 8 times in a row before it remembers who I'm talking to, and by then I am trying to talk to someone else.

There are so many things that need attention in this game. I can not understand the logic behind changing something that was not broken and nobody asked to be different. And now the entire chat system is totally ruined. Not only that, it was put in a full client. Why don't the devs consult their users before putting in major changes like this, especially when they don't even work?

[Higuani]

This is just LOL. Daaaaamn so many wrong chats atm goin on zzz

[Candylicks]

Hey guys did you chat when you tested the client? The auto chat is horrible when you switch from party to guild you have to sit there and backspace what is auto filled. Come on, how can we do that when playing the game!?! Tons of mistells, is very frustrating enjoy the game and run a guild with this set up. I implore you to go back to the old chat functions, this is really bad.

[Schnitzel]

I have a suggestion for the chat log:

for normal talking (meaning to everyone in the towne), its just like regular chatting (like in the last AL Client)

For other chats (example: /p /o /r ), if we write "/", then a list of options will appear (with the most recent at the top of the list) kind of like how a programming IDE works.

I'm not sure if STS uses Netbeans to program, but I was thinking something like this

Attachment 106844
(this was cut from a piece of code for my APCompSci hw)

where in the picture it says "line2." that would be the "/"
the list menu (the box with things that say "getSlope()" or "toString()" etc. ) will show a list of commands that can be used, and the user clicks on the one they want to use

[Ticklish]

It is EXTREMELY annoying. Where has the /r gone to, btw? I've been talking less in guildchat since the update. It's such a pain to chat, and sometimes that's all we do.

[Blissfulgod]

The chat update is annoying and unnecessary. Why change a chat that worked just fine to begin with? Do as the players (now) do: Delete Delete Delete Delete this update.

[Heiress]

Least have the option to turn it off it's driving me nuts

[machinedog]

I like the idea of have the option to use it or not. It has its uses (for ppl like me who slip in wrong command sometimes lol ) but its easy to see how it can be a problem also :-/

Let's face it. The new Quick Chat system is a giant accident waiting to happen. I understand STS's purpose behind it, but its execution is majorly flawed. I have PM'd people "/g lol" messages, GC'd "/r lol" messages, and its a very tedious adjustment in the fact that it takes over the normal chat box.

An alternative to this would be to insert icons throughout the HUD that, when clicked/tapped on, that command would be inserted into your chat. Examples:

Do the right thing and revert it or add the option to turn it off.

Hey guys!

I have merged two feedback threads on this same topic.

[twoxc]

I'm already lazy enough typing /p or /g or /o when ever I chat before. Now I'm even more lazy and on top of that ANNOYED and FRUSTRATING, having to delete /guildchat, /partychat and /officer every time while trying to communicate back and forth with people/pm/officer and guild chat. Errrrr so many wrong messages and wrong reply wtf.

[Anarchist]

I already fail chat 30% of anything i write on my own. Now add this.

+

Pvp normal chat is gone too.

Imo it was better to
Type /team once in a while than type /all most of the time.

[Bluesparky]

Please add the extra option to turn it off. Until its get to easier way. Earlier one was better.

I didnt even try this yet but i know thats very very bad idea.
But halloween event comes to PL so i dont need to stand this system in AL for a while

You can do this by programming some swipe gestures in Android. I use it all the time.
