Just to add … it doesn’t happen all the time. Seems to happen whenever the server starts to get remotely busy and even worse when there is any kind of a queue to get in. Morning’s EST during the week it seems to work ok most of the time, but later in the afternoon the delay could be 2min or longer. Setting the channels back to normal (not muting any channel) and chat shows instantly. It’s just my feed is filled with nonsense and toxic chatter from general, which I prefer to mute.
This has been an issue for such a long time. It’s been brought up dozens of times at least. It’s extremely annoying. My chat was delayed by 26 minutes a few nights ago. Then sometimes it’s only about 45 seconds.
To combat this, mute > unmute the channel you’re trying to talk in. The delay is based on messages, so if you were to spam blank messages eventually you’ll see them come up. But yeah mute > unmute does fix it.
Very annoying bug because if others don’t realise they won’t get your messages.
Yup. I have the same problem. I have to unmute Global, and then remute it. Seems to work again for a while. Haven’t test beyond that. Annoying bug that needs to be fixed.
AGS, you gotta fix this. I don’t want to have the crap going on in Global (ie the usual “keyboard warrior” crap). Along with the legitimate chat that would normally be in Area, but because you guys default everyone to Global and then forcible revert people back to Global after they switch to, say, Faction.
This is an issue. Not game breaking and shouldn’t be prioritized over server performance, attribute perk (DEX 100 no haste on skin, etc) and ability mechanic issues (Ice Storm cancel on weapon swap with last passive, etc).
Thankfully there is the VOIP option while grouped or general and there are third party tools (Discord, etc.) to manage team communication as well.
delay was at least a minute.
