Suggestions for a revamped quickchat

(Privacy-Policy) #1

Firstly, I apologize if this is posted in the wrong area.
I think a lot of the current quick chat options are never/rarely used. I have also observed a lot of people typing in similar things over and over again into chat during a game.

Below is an example that I would prefer (open to input) over the current system.
I’ve cut out some popular options like yes/no/hold fire only because I feel they are not really needed and can often be spammed.

  1. Assistance (possible specials icons above character for each assist)

    1. Heal me
    2. Revive me (ping) (only usable when downed) (louder then other quick-chats)
    3. Ammo
    4. Watch my back
    5. Help here! (possible special icon on minimap)

  2. Team Movement

    1. Focus on the objective
    2. Move Forward
    3. Fall back
    4. Spread out
    5. Move in
    6. incoming, Watch out (possible ping on minimap and audiable alert)
    7. Come with me

  3. Attack Command

    1. Repair the EV
    2. Escort the EV
    3. Destory the Generator
    4. They are repairing the generator
    5. Arm the C4
    6. They are diffusing the C4
    7. Deliver the core

  4. Defence Command

    1. They are repairing the EV
    2. Destory the EV
    3. Defend the generator
    4. Repair the generator
    5. Disarm the C4
    6. They are planting C4
    7. They are delivering the core

  5. Friendly (global)

    1. Hi
    2. Bye
    3. Thanks
    4. Good shot
    5. Good Game

  6. Taunts (global)

  7. Special Taunts (global)

Wow since when does screw get censored . Screw screw. The screw is stripped

Screw driver. I had to tighten the screw

Ffs stop censoring screw
Omg.

two problems:

  • the voice lines are already recorded. New voice lines will be expensive
  • The chat follows the 15 year old format, all the way back to RTCW. Switching it to sth else is gonna seriously disappoint my brain.

Idk if it’s even worth changing it at this point, considering most of us are used to the current system. I’d be saying defense command instead of need ammo way too much lol
Also I don’t really get how DB is supposed to know if you want to type just 2 or 22. Maybe press V again once you want to actually say whatever it is?

I do really like the idea of having some HUD interaction with some of the commands though. Knowing who is actually calling for backup without having to check who’s playing who would be great. I don’t think anyone really uses the minimap that much though, so eh

It’s a good thing screws screwed screwable and screwdriver aren’t censored

IMO I’d prefer a customizable quickchat so I can choose the hotkeys and the phrases on those hotkeys

There was an issue with my list earlier, but I’ve fixed it now. It was meant to be similar to the current system.
I’ve played quite a few hours but I am willing to swap to an improved quick chat system that could enhance game play with more usable/ relatable choices and in-game graphic guides (like the ones for medic or ammo).
