Give us Chat Block (blocking while chatting) (please) [poll]

Warhammer 40,000: Darktide Gameplay Feedback
1

OK peeps, I’ve worn my shift and caps lock to nubbins spamming requests for CHAT BLOCK already. The new game mode, Expeditions, has cooperation at its core yet we are missing an extremely important feature to facilitate text chat (the most common of chat) in-game.

IT’S TIME!

For those unfamiliar, here’s for a rundown of what Chat Block is:

In-game, when a player opens a text chat window their player character automatically holds block – similar to the auto-block while reviving players. This small but impactful feature helps provide a small window of safety from stray groaners and the like while you converse politely with your team mates :grin:

To add insult to (literal!) injury, this feature was introduced into FatShark’s previous entry Vermintide 2 but neglected from Darktide. Yes, there is a mod that does this. No, I do not consider this to be sufficient – and so do this many people:

Should the Chat Block feature be introduced into the vanilla game?

  • Yes
  • No

Add the Ping Indicator /Monitor as a basic feature.

Uh…you know you can mute people already on both chat and voice trough the social menu right? I think you mean a global mute, which is fine I suppose.

She means a feature to have your Character block while you’re typing.

OIC. I’m dumb. Then yeah, that mod should be a base feature, dunno why fatshark seemingly unlearns things as they make the same game but slightly different every time.

I’ve updated the title for less confusion, Chat Block isn’t universal terminology and I forgot that :grin:

This is a Fatshark game, that glass should be bigger.

This would actually be genius. The amount of damage I’ve taken whilst trying to type is probably staggering by now lol

I watched someone go down from typing last night, lol. Bless their little hearts trying to be a good team mate!

To be fair we were making jokes rather than plans, but still.

We need 2 things:

  1. Chat Block.
  2. New name for Chat Block that doesn’t make it sound like something that blocks people from chatting with you.
