@Exe129exe @JayDeGeneral @BloomAutist47 @Alina_AE PS. I can only speak for myself and the projects I've worked on. No idea about the other features!

Taking a look at a few potential chat client updates for AQWorlds. Want to see us keep moving in this direction? Leave chat as it is? Reply with your feedback below. AQ.com

@ItsMrBaggins Already thought of this!

@DNS_AE I would like to see notifications bubbles for when we have the chat closed. Maybe even make it possible to make a noise indicating a new message!

Any suggestions at all. Don't think about limitations. Whether or not it's possible is up to us to determine, so drop anything you can think of!

@Zeuhl_AE I've been looking into this.

@DNS_AE It's been 11 years and I still get a '?' whenever I try to type with proper grammar in spanish. It would be greatly appreciated if you could enable some more special characters, at least ñ á é í ó ú

@_AuraKnight @Alina_AE I actually want to look at possibly allowing links for guild chats and/or party chats. Maybe I'll limit it to trusted URLs only. As for the Design Notes stuff, this can be added to the News tab on the Game Menu, so I'll poke Alina/Reens about it.

@DNS_AE @Alina_AE Would it be possible to allow links to AE related pages to be clickable through the chat? Things like the wiki, design notes, or whatever else would be appropriate. And every release update an ingame message to direct people to the design notes to see what the update is.

@RodolfoNunes18 @Alina_AE My focus is on client features and more specifically features for the chat system. I'll mention this to someone who might get more use out of it.

@DNS_AE @Alina_AE Idk if it's possible to do it or not, but it would be cool to see all of this before that moment where you have to choose one side before Drakaths first appearence

@hexer_AE @Alina_AE We'll listen.

@DNS_AE @Alina_AE I'd gladly drop some ideas, that is if they're willing to listen 🤔

@EnnAQW @Alina_AE 2. Yes, plan to add notifications. Probably a circle with a number on the top-right of the tabs if it doesn't become too intrusive. 3. Hard to say whether or not cross-server stuff is viable but I have to investigate to determine whether or not I think I can get it done.

@DNS_AE @Alina_AE 1. Yup. Noticed the the arrow on bottom left. 2. Yeah, in hindsight a fully customizable chat tab wouldn't probably be that useful. One tab dedicated to each chat (room, guild, party etc.) might be better alternative. Tabs could notify user about new messages individually? 1/2

@Morshedmk2 @Alina_AE Already planned.

@Alina_AE I think that it needs like system notification for each chat type to know that we got a new massege

@OneBloodstain @Alina_AE This is already possible with the old chat, and will continue to be a feature on the new chat.

@Alina_AE Sometimes, the chat can be a problem when I want to click on something, so an update in which you can disable and reenable chat would be great!

@nixbys @Alina_AE System messages are rare and shouldn't clutter the general chat. Warnings/errors however will be moved.

@Kotaro_AE @Alina_AE Planning to have the top-right button expand upon first click, revert to normal on second, and minimize on last click. This is subject to change but we intend to remove the bottom-left button.

@Alina_AE Maybe have the minimise chat on the top right of the chat UI, a subtle change but IMO I think it’s more convenient than having it at the bottom left.

@hexer_AE @Alina_AE Already added. This can be enabled/disabled. In the preview it is disabled.

@Alina_AE Do believe it should have a timestamp feature so like when reporting they can put the time the rule breaking comment happened which could be beneficial for mods

@_AuraKnight @Alina_AE Will look at the option of dragging the chatbox around. Cross-server chat is interesting but for now not being investigated by me.

@Alina_AE and if the new proposed chat box isn't able to be dragged around that would be nice to see also. transparency optional offered as a toggle and a popout chat wouldn't be all bad either. cross server chatting may be neat as well but idk what benefit that would have.

@Braken_Vow @Alina_AE We have some things planned for whisper already. You'll have a whisper chat with a dropdown, which caches up to (let's say, for now) 5 of your last whispers. We plan to add key shortcuts to switch through these whisper chats easily.

@Him_AQW @Alina_AE We plan to have a whisper tab of sorts. It'll be different than the other tabs and isn't show in the picture posted here. General is not all types of chat, it's the room chat. General is subject to a change in name.

@Alina_AE What about whisper and just normal chat (assuming general is all types of chat" sometimes I hat seeing people whispered me but not being able to see what it was due to all the other chat in the way.

@weabrest @Alina_AE This is normal AQW.

@Alina_AE Is that AQW steam version ? that's why it have configureable chat ??

@bilubilululu @Alina_AE @Yo_Lae I already have plans for the error/warning messages.

@Alina_AE @Yo_Lae The difference between the "General" chat and the "Chat" would be the red messages, skill errors, warnings and so on. it would make chatting cleaner for conversations.

@teennxp @Alina_AE I've already looked at this a tad bit.

@Alina_AE This is a step forward in the right direction (in my opinion atleast 😁) Maybe a notification system where players would be able to hide the chat box and open it when a notification tells them of an unseen message would be nice. That way the UI would feel decluttered.

@xknight @Alina_AE I plan to make changes to the profanity filter to prevent this stuff. I'll look into the **** censors too, and see if that can be optionable.

@Alina_AE Since you’re working on new chat ideas which is great... please add an option to turn off the profanity/chat filter like you guys did in AQ3D. Getting muted for random words in a sentence is getting really, really, really, annoying. Think about the given age of most players
