Game Chat Writing Notification

[bigg chief]

Concise description:

• I propose ,if you write something in game chat and are awaiting a response,that if your partner is writing a response,a lil note will pop up so and so is writing.

Specifics/Details:

• This way you know he has received msg and is answering,just like Facebook and skype do.

How this will benefit the site and/or other comments:

• This would help partners know that if time is ticking down that in fact an answer is coming from your partner.

Mod Edit: Applied suggestion form per author request, and tried to come up with a more descriptive name.

Wow, this would be huge!

So, basically incorporate chatglove into the site... I like it.

I don't think that chatglove does exactly this ... I think he's talking about something like when you're on skype and it says "Joe Bob is typing ..."

[iamkoolerthanu]

It's similar to chatglove, except this one seems a bit more involved. I like it!

EDIT: After re-reading the first post I realize it is different from chatglove a bit.. But still kinda cool

So basically you'd only be getting the message saying 'Player xxxxxx is writing a message' If you are in the game, looking at the chatbox that the message would appear in?

If thats the case then this would be awesome for speed, especially speed FS dubs/trips etc

Great idea.

yes and similar to skype as well,so lets get this incorporated fellas

Let's decide on some details of this suggestion.

• Where should the notification appear? In the message box itself, as the last line in chat, in the space in between those, or somewhere else?
• Should the message only inform you of your teammates typing or all players?
• What effect should the note to self and teammates only box have on this notification?
• How should multiple people writing at the same time be displayed? In normal games you could probably just list them all, but you could run into issues with a Battle Royale.
• How should players not in the game writing in the chat be handled?

[Armandolas]

Good idea. Should be simple to implement and very usefull.(i would say )

[greenoaks]

i don't see the point of being told someone IS typing when we are not told that someone HAS typed.

[bigg chief]

in dubs trips quads,very helpful ,for other non team games maybe not so useful .example,bigg chief to team; shall ig for oceania ? if we are playing a 2 minute speed game and I am waiting for team to respond.at least I would know that my team has read my post and is writing a response so I can get ready to do my move with ample time , so while I wrote " shall i go for oz?" i read hmsps is "writing "or afroaction is "writing" at least i know it has been acknowledged and a response is coming
for ppl not in game chat,well they can still leave comments .
