you havent used chat much, are you in a company and group? If you filter chat at all, it backs up and stops showing you messages. Every few minutes you have to open the chat and select each option to clear the messages or you get a 3-4 minute delay on your chat.
Thats a broken chat system.
Of course not. That would be silly. And I didn’t say that.
But surely it’s just a dumb thing to do to say ‘here’s our new game set on an island with a 17th-century aesthetic and with fantasy concepts where you can change the environment with an axe and portals and factions and wars and and and…’ and not have a UI that is editable. Conceptually.
I understand that they wanted to try something fresh, but some things are in dire need of adjusting.
Not being able to open bags is a minor annoyance, would be nice to do some ‘inventory maintenance’ while running for miles. Not a big deal, but should be changed.
The chat is awful, but that may also be due to Feed not always working properly and weird lag issues with it. Lots of times I see no Company chat while I know my wife just spoke there, very frequently Direct Messages get messed up - I write something, nothing appears, then 5 minutes later it does (and sometimes in the wrong order if I spoke multiple times). Same with Company, there have been plenty times my wife has to tell me what has been said because it is taking minutes before it shows up on my chat. So I think the main issues are more fundamental than UI.
That said, Area really needs the stupid leveling messages to go.
Party window should be adjustable, people often like to move the windows closer to the action, especially healers.
A chat system that doesnt have a 4 minute lag or being able to look at your inventory without stopping everything else you are doing isnt better? really? LOL
Also most of the replies in here dont really understand the basics of a feedback forum. its here to give your feedback… imagine that.
Feedback is always good.

he got the same quality of response as he gave me. He talks like some kid trying to E-bully so that how Ill treat him.
Nowhere in your OP did you mention the chat having a 4 minute lag (which is hyperbole, at most 30s from what I’ve experienced).
I remember stungard and how bad many of the launches were. I cant think of one of them where the basic chat was broken.
This is the truth. All of these games had multiple bad systems at launch. I think people get stuck at remembering the game at a certain time frame and think that’s the way it always was. You don’t even have to go back 20 years to find examples of bad launches…just look at FF14 and ESO. MMOs are just hard and they all need time to get there.
“Chat… it doesnt even work most of the time,”
how can you come in and call someone dumb for complaining about broken chat when you dont even understand it enough to know there is a HUGE lag in the chat system.
The simple fix to the stun lock is be good and don’t get tagged.
Dude, you need to chill. Never did I call you dumb.
A reasonable person however would construe this to mean that the reason you think the chat doesn’t work is because there’s no tab.
sorry another poster with the same icon.
that makes sense. right now in big fights its pile on and spam shock wave and clear out. on my server at least 3/4 of the pvp players are running hammer now and just spam those.
The CC System in DAoC was great. WoW has a really bad system with nearly no immunities after ccing.

and its not Hyperbole i have timed messages a few time to see how bad it was and see common delay of 1 minute to over 4 minutes. it seems to be related to how fast messages are coming on channels you have filtered out. I only see AREA, FACTION, COMPANY and DMs. So a lot of general chat will lag it out bad.
Interesting, maybe it’s because I mute all chat unless I need to talk to someone.
I would say that this release is quite a big flop and a huge disappointment to pvp and wars. Numbers are still all over the place. Builds are just heavy armor with constitution while doing 1.5k per hit on great axe. Technical weapons are useless. Siege is useless and gets destroyed by throwing flint at it haha.
I think this is going to be one of these games for me that I really do enjoy it but I absolutely hate myself for playing it and I really like me but big flop and a middle finger to all logical pvp things.
I mean i do experince chat lag bit but i have theory as notification from chat filter causes a back log of notifications and after point it just cant hold out as much.
