New Chat Box functionality is terrible with patch

[gogoblender 3,077]

It is.

 

The thing is sliding in and out like a drawer and is jarring. Before we had the choice of whether we wanted it to stay or not...now the graphics keeps popping into the game like a bursting balloon. I can't don't have the choice to look at the left whenever I want to and read a previous post...I now have to click it open or wait till someone jarrs the drawer open again

 

 

Is there anyway to stop this from distracting us into an early death?

 

 

gogo

 

p.s. LOL...and did you guys hear that harp sound it makes when anyone talks?

 

Thank you Xeneonic for pointing out it's off button. Whew

It disappears now...I hope we can have the previous state. And yes the sound I found it quick...was disturbing me

Except the sound (that can be disable) I like the way the chat box is disappearing now, maybe a little too short though.

[gogoblender 3,077]

It dissapears in the middle of me reading it

 

 

 

The idea is a good one...but what we had before was better.

 

We could make it dissapear when we wanted to. That chatbox was actually a good one. Only thing wrong was it was the lag.

 

Course that's not fixed

 

And did you guys notice that when the chatbox pops out...it pops out opaque?

 

Errr... and completely hides the olm champ in the game that's bearing down on us?

 

 

gogo

Yep, too short time before it dissapears, you can't fully read the sentence

Maybe we can increase the timer in the optionsCustom.txt ?

* Incoming messages will now open the chat window. After seven seconds

the window will close automatically

 

* New option under „Audio Settings“ to switch acoustic notifications

for chat messages on or off.

 

per patch notes...no mention how to disable it other than sound

Yeah. Sort of distracting and irritating... But we will have to learn to live with it I guess
