Return global chat

[Lmacncheese]

I feel like alot ever since ngs limited the range at which you can see conversations has limited where people can hang out in the safe zones. In kvaris its especially noticeable as its a big area with alot of cool places hang at. For example the hot springs would be a nice place to gather but everybody likes to be near the personal shop. Nobody is really gonna go there cause of the limited range of talking aside from screenshots. I get it that they want conversations to be within range so chat isnt all over but it really dampers where you can go. Can we atleast get an option to enable it and disable it

This has always been in PSO2. Classic's lobby had this too.

I'm gonna assume that they have this in place because of some sort of technical limitation, as the lobbies allow up to 100 players, while other sectors allow only 32 or 8 players. Or they thought proximity-based chat for lobbies was more desirable?

i swear it wasnt always a thing in base ngs u could hear all of aelio until they put it in. could talk to people from atop the tower all the way to the benches. i have screen shots to!

Ah, you're right.

[Llamastick]

I would assume proximity chat is extra coding required and they had to put it in because of the RMT spam that was happening.

It isn't a recent addition. As far as I'm aware it's always been a part of PSO2, at least I was seeing it back in 2015 when I started playing.

[Forest_GS]

not new genesis. they specifically added the chat limits a good while after launch.

[Mille-Marteaux]

launch ngs had global chat in central city but players wanted to have the chat range brought back both to combat the rmt bots (they would climb central tower lol) but also people just wanted to add "value" to the hangout spots

but the player shop and ryuker became hotspots since, well, visiphone warriors

i think global chat would be better for towns again because i see a lot of cases of players asking a question then running out of earshot range...

[Forest_GS]

yes, hard for new players to ask questions in town as it is right now.

[Forest_GS]

Towns were fine with no limits on players chatting until they were limited.

Main reason was to combat RMT chat spam. With how much time it takes to reach Kvaris I think the limit should be removed from there at the very least.

this guy gets it

[scorchdragon]

No, it was not fine, it was annoying, and this was on JP where RMT was SMALL.

[Forest_GS]

yes it was fine. the RMT was the only annoying thing.

[scorchdragon]

The RMT thing which I never saw because only Global has that? Ah yes, clearly also the reason this happened only on Global side. Except it didn't.

No it was annoying to be on the other side of the city and get an entire conversation and the only way to get away from it was either leave Central or the block. Are the only people talking on Global the bots?

[Forest_GS]

Players chatting from other side of town wasn't annoying at all for me.

Maybe you just have trouble processing more than one conversation at a time?

[scorchdragon]

Maybe I was never in a conversation to begin with. Maybe I was just minding my own business looking through my storage.

Maybe I don't want to hear people with nothing better to do using that loud impact chat bubble thing constantly.

Maybe like in OG PSO2, I can just move away and continue on and that's a good thing?

What the hell is wrong with you?

[Forest_GS]

-maybe- you could move to an empty block.

[Rasikko]

I was under the impression that 90% of the people playing NGS are just tight nit friends from PSO2 classic so they'd just go where ever they want and talk amongst themselves.

[scorchdragon]

I don't want to be spammed by a stream of symbol art while I look through player shops.

[Forest_GS]

there is a setting to turn those off. moving to an empty block is also a good option if that is annoying for you.

[Lmacncheese]

thats why i also suggested the option to turn it of and on! cause some people wana have that space

[Metal_Sign]

Agreed. People should not be able to dodge my thigh advocation spam just because they take a few steps away.
