Number 1 reason I want in game chat

#6

There never won’t be ingame chat and it’s for the better. I don’t know why, but from experience, CCG players are extremely sensitive and get offended by literally anything. Someone uses an emote in an incorrect way? Better go to cry on forums about getting BM-ed. A combo deck taking it’s whole turns thinking ahead? Also BM-ing, why should he think so much when the board is going to change anyway. There is even an option to prevent people from adding you and people still accept friend request and then get offended when someone says “lol u bad xd”.

Just imagine what would happen if we had an ingame chat? I don’t want CPG to be the sole reason for the sudden increase of suicide rates.

I thought that only the winner could tip gold… Was it ever like that or am I crazy?

Yes, only the winner can take gold, and the option will show up between the add friend and report button iirc.

You can kind of get in game chat if you friend your opponent while the game goes on.

You are correct ninja’d. I personally would like to be able to tip someone for defeating me if they did so in an awesome match, or with a fair deck etc.

Hard to chat to a friend with a fullscreen chat though. Would be nice if you could at least see if its your turn while chatting. Then again there is never enough time in a turn in the first place so there is no time to chat :laughing:

#11

True, I even get offended when people tip me when they’ve won.

Really, the community is most of the time toxic but here I found only friendly people, anyway I pref add after the game, I need to focus! ;D

#13

I can’t even handle emotes, nevermind people talking actual shit to me while I’m just trying to relax and play some cards. But, as long as they add a mute/opt out option, it doesn’t really matter to me.

There is already a mute button

Just add them as friends afterwards. They don’t really need to be rl friends for that.
If they don’t accept, chance is, the chat would not have been that productive.

Agreed. There’s so much potential for abuse here. The “add friend” feature essentially functions as a means of asking permission with the other person to speak with you. If they want to, they will add you, and otherwise, as you said, it probably wouldn’t have been a positive experience anyway.

In-game chat would just let salty players be rude to others. The current set-up is best for winners and losers of a match.

you could just add a “request chat” button on the emote menu to prevent unsolicited abuse tbh

#19

Stuff like that doesn’t work. People would approve chat requests and then get upset when someone talks shit, same like it happens with friend requests despite DND function existing and same how people can use mute function but prefer not to do it so they can cry about “emote BM”. People just love getting offended and if you give them the choice to do so they will definitely take it.

Technically there is already an in game chat. Go into the friends menue while still in the match, and go to “last played USERNAME Add” and if they accept your friend request you can chat with them while still in the match.

#21

Okay…wow you guys use phrases like “so much potential for abuse” like the entirety of the english language was designed to offend. Having an in game chat will open doors for conversation, people who are abusive can be easily muted and/or reported. The report function use useless as is anyway, what am i to even report people for if they don’t even have any way to transgress. It feels restrictive that I can’t comunicate with people while I play. I personally like to commend my opponents for cool and unique plays, discuss decks, make jokes and yes trash talk! Because if i wipe someones feild, place 4 eggs, a kron, a prisoner and an earth sister I deserve to be just a bit boastful!

#22

Whats it for? What am I muting? The barely noticable emotes? This is ridiculous.

#23

There are people in this game who literally get offended at “Well Played” near the end of a game, or even being tipped gold! Once I heard that I realized there was no limit to what folks can get upset about.

I believe it’s an internet thing. People care less about their actions because they can’t be seen so talk more rubbish, abuse stuff, etc. If you talk to someone in the face, people are generally more polite because they don’t want to see an angry face.
Text has no tone unlike talking. So people misinterpret stuff said. Sometimes you have a bad mood, maybe because you lost. You see bad as bad. Good is seen as sarcasm and so is bad. You might see something good like getting tipped as getting pitied and feel bad.

Being able to mute emotes has its uses. Maybe very very rarely. In my many months of Duelyst I have met one person who spammed emotes every second. Wish I knew there was mute button then. Report button was handy.

System now seem good. Emotes are fun :grin:

#25

Muting emotes seems like such a pointless thing to do when emotes don’t remotely do anything distracting or otherwise hindering
