Hello,
I believe the chat system in Overworld needs a complete overhaul.
Right now, the chat is extremely inconvenient and almost never used.
Suggestions:
-
Make the chat permanently visible — as a clean, minimalistic rectangle in the bottom-left corner of the screen.
-
Add channel selection, for example based on locations, including Sanctum Mesa.
-
Add a clear "hide chat" button, so that players who don’t want to see the chat can easily turn it off.
Currently, using the chat is very awkward.
It should be simple and intuitive — like in most MMORPGs:
-
1st press: Enter (the input bar opens automatically)
-
(Type your message)
-
2nd press: Enter again (the message is sent, and the player can continue playing)
That's it. The player should not need to press any additional keys or perform extra actions.
Please remove the use of the Y key — it's unintuitive and uncomfortable.
Also, consider allowing channel switching using either the Tab key or the mouse.
Right now, only a few people use the chat, and I’m not even sure all players are aware it exists.
P.S. Please update the avatars in the chat — the current ones look outdated.
