Texting for Improved Gaming Experience

Hey fellow gamers,

I’ve been thinking about a few features that could really enhance our gaming experience and wanted to share them with you all. Here are my suggestions:

  1. Whisper Removal Option: It would be great if we had the ability to remove whispers once we’ve finished with them. This would help declutter our chat interfaces and make it easier to focus on active conversations.
  2. Distinct Color for Personal Text: Sometimes, personal messages can get lost in the sea of blue chat. How about using a different color for personal text exchanges? This way, they’ll stand out more and be easier to spot.
  3. Voice-to-Text Conversion: Typing during a competitive match can be really challenging, especially for console players. Introducing a voice-to-text feature would be a game-changer, allowing us to communicate quickly and efficiently without sacrificing our gameplay.

What do you all think about these suggestions? Do you have any other ideas to improve our gaming experience? Let’s discuss and see if we can make our gaming community even better!

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts

when you enter a team with someone the lyrics turn green. with voice chat, the icon of the character used by the person speaking to you appears. adding additional colors or elements in my opinion can also be more disorienting.

it is a somewhat difficult technology to implement correctly, depending on the microphone it can distort the players’ words and write the wrong things. burdening the chat with a system of language packs (necessary everywhere, even when using google translate in its voice mode) is not very optimal in my opinion. It works in relatively simpler and calmer games, where the game engine is not busy maintaining stable frame rates.

I would rather apply a more intuitive ping system. currently when someone points to the target we can “agree” or if someone says “thank you” we can independently say “you’re welcome” by focusing on him. it would be nice if we could see that when the teammate says the status of his ultimate we can focus on him with an automatic “ok” (in the sense, I understand) instead of having to select it manually.

That is available on xbox (you have to hold the button with the two squares and have a working microphone) not sure about other platforms tho.
