I still miss the "All chat" (global chat on the chatbox with both teams)

One of the things that I cannot get used to is not being able to see any banter with the enemy team. I even miss the troglodytes who write "ez" even if the were on the bottom end of the winning team.

In past games I had the opportunity to strike up a chat with even enemy players about subjects like the status of ingame assets, hardware performance, loadouts, etc. I even made some friends there. My current platoon were people who were on the enemy team when I met them and saw they were recruiting.

Sure there are some people who will say nasty things for one reason or another.

But guess what?! These people are still able to do the same things now just only towards their own team. Even in 2042 I have had several instances of players getting into a heated argument with me or others.

But that was easily fixed when I found that I could mute them and ever see what they write ever again, as if they never existed.

TLDR:

Please give us back the "All Chat" tab on the chat box. The game experience is plain worse without it. Any undesirables are easily muted in 2042.

You are not protecting us or fostering a healthy community by limiting out communication ingame.

Edit: You can make it so the All chat is a toggle that is "off" by default too so people have to consent to dealing with what they read in there.

    I liked all chat at times but sometimes it was toxic.  I think for dedicated servers on portal it should be an option and also a personal choice to see it under social settings.

  • @UP_HawxxeyeI like the idea of being able to toggle it off. I am the kind of player that if I get killed in an amazing or highly skilled way, I’ll give a shout out. As well as laugh at a bad move, like crashing a transport into a radio tower. I have no desire for cross audio chat though, it can be way too much. I’m ok with only squad chat, even that I sometimes mute. Good ideas though Hawkeye.

    All chat can be fun and it can be toxic, as long as we have the option to toggle it on and off then I think it should be brought back.

  • I miss not being able to turn the damn thing off.

    Best I can do is shrink the font.

    The only thing all chat was used for in BFV was making unfounded cheat accusations

    I'm glad it's gone, nothing of value was lost


    I have proof of the opposite

    It is unacceptable that we cannot have all the communication possible because some people are tools

    In any case I still got hackused once in 2042 by a dude who went all the trouble to give me a friend request just so he could try to accuse me and tell me that  he reported me.... me a mediocre infantryman...
