» Tue Jul 30, 2013 6:56 pm Considering the other thread is nearing its end, I figured i'd extend this issue that needs to be resolved.
We need chat bubbles in the game. One of the best things in WoW was that you could talk to someone else and not have to scroll through the bottom left corner of the screen to find what they had said.
Its also HUGE for role playing in MMO's.
Why would they leave out such a huge feature? Chat bubbles are enormous for an MMO, especially of this quality.
I, for one, want chat bubbles in the game, and it is a game breaking thing for me because
1)I wont be able to role play
2) I like chat bubbles and want the option for them
3) Immersion breaking not to have it, when I look at someone else chat above their head it immerses someone into another person character. They don't have to bother with the chat on the bottom left corner, which is a great thing. Its also a great social experience.
Don't be lazy Zeni, you have a WHOLE year to get this right. Don't leave out such a obvious thing for an MMORPG to have.

"Can you expand on any social functions, such as player-created emotes (an ‘/em’ function, or anything the likes) or chat bubbles?
We have a long list of animated emotes in the game already that will add flavor to your conversations and interactions with other characters, and you can create your own text emotes with the /emote command. Currently, we don’t have plans for chat bubbles."
(Yes I know I'm guilty here too lol).
