Re: Chat improvements

What about tabs/groups of text chat?! That are persistent through out the games (lobby and in game).

- when you join the squad, you join a "group chat" that is always the same. Through character select until the squad is disbanded. With no resets when you are killed, or screen change.

- Allow mute to chat of specific players.

- Allow tabs of whispers to be created and persist, between in game and lobby.

- Option to "do not create new whisp tabs during games".

How to whisper?!

/whisp "name of player" "message"

This creates a tab, and both can communicate.

Pressing "escape" and "mouse click" the name of the player can also create a whisp tab.

    @MythBringerThis sounds a lot like SWTOR. I like it.

    No disrespect intended toward the QA team, but I doubt they even use text chat at all during play testing. It is INCREDIBLY frustrating to use text chat in Apex Legends toward the beginning and end of games.

    If and when I rage at Apex, 9 times out of 10 it's because r5apex.exe stole what I was typing just before I was ready to send it.

    You know there is a problem when it is easier to type in an external program and copy-paste it into the text chat. At least then you will not be interrupted.

    The status quo encourages extremely quick typing or short messages. If you want more than "gg" or "nt" out of me, then don't steal my %^#&ing text, Apex. 😛
