valid "Remember as I type" feature in battle chat

Sounds cool... I'd use that  :)

Agreed

I like this idea.

 

The current chat can only hold so much text before it rolls off. After a battle, if there is interesting text, I usually hit <enter> and TAB to get as much as I can and then PRTSCR. But you can only get the last part of the conversation if it was very active. I saved some that made me laugh at the time. Here is an example. Stuff was said earlier but it rolled off the screen:

 

 

 

 

 

Yours is a bit of a different idea as to the one proposed here, but interesting nonetheless.  Please, elaborate on it further and click on the start a NEW TOPIC button in the section so we can better keep track of good ideas and not have them mixed with others.

 

Tanks :D

Bit late, plus you can copy and paste the text when you need it

What?

The idea as a whole is definitely necessary, as this is a very common problem where you write a long message and then either ignore the battle or abandon the text you were typing. But I think the solution you suggested can be made a lot simpler. Instead of the whole thing with typing a command to save the text, a much better option would be to just make it so that when you press escape while typing in battle chat, the chat closed and when you open it again - the text you were typing would still be there, ready to finish it. Pretty simple and doesn't require you to type anything else when every wasted second could be the difference between a win and loss :)

Yeah, I like this better. Before I posted this idea, I was thinking of a key to press that can just automatically save. But I dit think that could work, idk why I just .. Idk :p

 

But I like this idea better. I will edit my first post and include this.

Totally agree with this. I was actually just about to post one on ESC feature in chat.

We lost a battle today just because someone was using the chat and lost the game by one point. 

I would really love to see this implemented!

Hello!

 

This is simple. So whenever you are chatting during battle but you want/need to battle, you can write something like "/save draft" at the end of the text and it will save so that next time you want to chat, its already there and you can finish your thoughts.

 

Example: I am chatting then gold box will be dropped soon. So in the chat I put "/save draft" then enter and it says "Draft is saved". I then try getting the gold box and I do :P , so now when I press enter to chat, whatever I saved comes back and I can finish my thought.

 

Let me know what you think. Sorry if this has been mentioned before.

I remember me typing down a sentence and having to enter it straight away because someone is taking our flag or gold drops and everyone is confused asking why you speaking gibberish.

You know when you're in a battle, the team needs you, but you want to chat?

Normally you die, then you talk when your spawning. But what if you want to type a long text and that 5 seconds isn't enough? Unless you want to stop playing for a few seconds after you spawn, which could cost an entire battle, add another button. Here's how I want it to work

 

ESC - Leave the chat, discard the message 

Enter - Get into the chat, and send message
​​Another Key ​- Leave the chat just like ESC, but whatever is typed in the chat when it is pressed will be back when you press Enter

 

For example - I'm typing while I'm spawning after I died. I'm in the middle of my sentence then I realize - I spawned and now, instead of pressing ESC and having to type the same thing again, I press the new key and I leave the chat. I then die again, so I press enter. The chat already has the text that I previously typed so all I need to do is finish the sentence,

Noobs would put phrases like Gold was, Gold bill, Gold pls, Noob shaft camper and lots of spam to the chat memory. Not a good idea.
