I only play wargames, but for some reason not only is the chat box REALLY small, it doesnt even display the last message typed and half the time you have to click on the chat box and scroll down to see the message. here are my suggestions on what to improve/fix

  1. make the chat box able to be resized...screen is pretty big and UI is nicely done and it leaves plenty of room for an enlarged chat box if people would like it.
  2. make it so it will default to the last typed message like every other chat box or service out there. it usually just leaves the chat window on the last read message and might show the name of the next typed message but not the actual message.
  3. allow a notification sound or at least some sort of flashing "look at me" type graphics so that when your teammates type something you wont miss it. The game often has you looking at 10+ things at once and a TINY chat box that doesnt even display the last message makes it REALLY easy to miss messages from teammates.

Yeah, the chat UI needs major improvements. Just adding a +1 here.

Additionally, if you are typing a message, when another user sends a chat message it automatically deselects the chat box and you just reselect it to continue typing. It's really one of the most frustrating experiences.
