[Fan Concept] Chat 2.0 Design

Outstanding concept, really hope to see something similar for PC. Specifically the multi-window possibilities.

Just include a bloody lock chat button for christs sake, that's like the most annoying problem we have for ages.

 

Main draw back I see. It would be pretty robust for console users. 

Would be cool on pc, but I don't see this working very well at all on a console. It would probably be worse than the current system. It lacks more functionality than anything. The ease of being able to invite/ignore/whisper/report players is what needs fixed.

Would be nice if they'd make the chat all around utf-8 or multi-encoding compatible.

 

Some of us prefer to have our game in English or another language, but are multilingual, but if you are using the English client 2 byte character languages (Japanese, Chinese, etc., maybe non 2 byte characters not in the default western character set as well, not sure) all just show up as **********, which is annoying. I can't even tell if the person is typing in language I can understand/communicate in, let alone know what they are saying when someone is using a different language =)

This looks amazing. The only thing I'd like to add is the use of chat commands like /1 <message>, /2 <message>, etc and these automatically sending you to the corresponding chat channel when used once. This allows for easy access of custom channels and easy switching between channels without having to use the mouse. Additionally a command /1 (without a <message>) could be used too simply for switching channels.

 

Everything else I've seen here looks great and I hope DE uses some (why not all?) of these suggestions.

It would be wonderful if on the xbox that the controller buttons in smartglass (on tablet or phone) actually worked with warframe.

 

Keyboard works but none of the controller buttons.

 

Makes it necessary to have controller in on hand and tablet/phone in the other.

I sent this to the UI team - they have recently brought up the prospects of Chat 2.0 so sharing is caring!

 

Bro great mockup. Seriously, very clean and from one designer to another this is a very strong design. I feel like the box's color scheme could played with a little bit more and the typeface could finally be taken a look at. (Just a little critique).

 

Look forward to seeing DE response to this (beyond reb) if they consider it.

Absolutely stunning. Fantastic work. I think it'd also be fantastic for the friends list to have an extra option to include a "Note" of a few characters.

 

i.e.

 

BillyBadAssTenno - Trade guy

[DE]Rebecca - Tower Key Partner

BrianEvol - Forum guy

 

 

Again, great work. I hope DE is watching.

What I'd really like to see is building Friends into the chat window.  Here's how I'd do it:

Friends tab:  everything any of your friends type in their Friends tab goes into yours.  Needless to say, unless you have two friends talking to each other, the entries are going to be unrelated.
However, if you click on the entry, it switches to that person's Friends tab.  Suddenly, you can see the context.  From their you can click on another friend's entry or right click or click the tab itself and you'll go back to your Friends tab.

Mostly, I see this being used instead of Recruiting and Regional.  It will also help the smaller clans which won't seem so quiet any more.

Very nice design.

[FEATURE REQUEST] Adding a "search" of "filter" option would be great in trade chat or recruiting chat. e.g. filter "soma" or "T4S" if you are only wanting to see messages containing that string; any other message not containing that string would not be displayed while the filter is active.
