Typewriter feature

Kyle Del. M. H. · 07-23-2014

I would like a typewriting feature so that whenever I talk to people they sometimes leave because when the chat bubble isn't there.

If you don't know what a type writer is, it's basically a feature in which whenever you type 1 letter you don't have to press done or press enter, it shows without pressing done. It's basically the same typewriter on UN.

I'm thinking such a change would be very difficult to implement and would cause a lot of lag. Imagine being in Graal City and seeing everyone type in real time. I just don't see it. I'm a quick typer so I don't really have any issues with the current system.

The only places the chat bubble was removed from is MoD Fort, Sardons, and maybe 1-2 other towers... (And I dont know why this was done anyway). So why not just add the chat bubble back everywhere and call it problem solved?

The issue with the typewriter is that data like chat is probably only send/received when it has changed. Making it so it changes the players chat as they type would mean constantly sending and receiving new data from all the players. Not to mention it breaks things like censoring/filters.

I would be ok not having the typewriter if all the chat bubbles were brought back
