This game needs an ingame chat and acquiring crates to be fixed


(regaliaQuest) #1

Having a chat in a match startup or in the match itself is a waste w/o a general chat. how can you find out anything useful if you can only comm w/ ppl via the forums? takes forever to get a response.

And crates. i keep hearing this nonsense of getting them via battles etc. but have yet to see a crate. the patch log talks about all these new loadouts but cant even get one. Its a total waste.

you trolling?

there is chat in the game, or do you mean a general chat for the whole playerbase?

You can definitely expect to see a “World Chat” functionality later in the game. This can be helpful but also pretty annoying but stay tuned for that.

As for crates, just keep playing. If crates dropped every match, they wouldn’t be so rare, now would they?

Good luck mate!

There’s global chat in Blacklight Retribution. Lots of drama in public, lots of spam and lots of trolls. I’m all for it. : D

It has to come with some options to ignore it and with possibility of reading and responding during match. Say additional chat key, ‘y’ for match chat, ‘u’ for team chat and third key for global chat.

when I type into the chat window I just assume most people won’t see it. it is a bit too small.

y - global chat
u - team chat
x - VOIP

Text is too small and there is no option to make the chat window visible all the time ;/

plus V for quick voice commands like “I need ammo” or “I need health”

I’m playing on a 27" 2560x1440 monitor and the chat is indeed small. But I actually prefer that. It’s less distracting, yet easily readable.

And regarding the crates. I feel like the more rare ones should be awarded randomly, but the common ones be awarded upon leveling up or something in that fashion. There’s a little bit too much RNG involved if you ask me.

One more thing - does anyone got any crates once they passed rank 8 ? I’m 80k till 9 and the last crate i got was around 7,5…
