Its been bugging me a bit this VU that MA still havn't completed what would otherwise be a perfect chat system (in my view).
All we need is a mapable "toggle button" for switching between the chat modes (ie local, society, team and event) rather then having to:
1. Find the mouse.
2. Navigate it down to bottom left of screen to click on a very small and dark little icon...
I just wanna hit tab or something or, better still, have the option of being able to map both a 'toggle' and buttons that would immediately select the local, soc, team or event chat. (for example 1,2,3 and 4 on the numpad would be good for me...)
I'd be willing to bet EVERYONE has typed in the wrong chat mode before only to have to work round the spam filter when they try to resend the message in the correct mode!
I also rather like the idea of a mapable toggle button that immediately switches off/on ALL incomming messages EXCEPT the ones pertinent to your currently selected channel of communication
For example:
your in soc chat, a flood of globals etc come in pushing the relevent thing your soc mate just said out of view, you toggle the other channels off with a single button and instantly his comment is back in view again. The only current way to achieve this is of course using the mouse to click each channel off individually.
Personally I think this would make the game a LOT nicer to play and should be a priority what do other people think?
