"Free Flow Chat" Beta Video.

[Abdicators]

Hey,

Figured as a very small and exclusive group of people are being able to test it, and the rest of you guys won't get to see it yet, that I'd make a video for you all to be able to discuss your ideas and thoughts on it. There's no audio on this clip.

(I know a thread about the chat already exists, but if I posted the video there it'd get lost in the midst of the posts. This is an easier way for everyone to see it!)

This looks like a very good way to spam rooms, since you can copy whatever and it just goes into seperate boxes each time?

[Abdicators]

Yup, separate box each time.

[e5]

So I could copy and paste and novel and it would send the whole thing in separate boxes? or is there a limit to what you can type still?

Still a limit!

I've grown to it. Still some things I don't like:

- Lack of chat history
- When you click a bubble of another user it doesn't take you to them
- Wired messages and whisper aren't in italics.

However, some of these might just be things that aren't working with the BETA. Since I was added to BETA, I have grown to it.

Oh god this is rubbish, really dislike it. I'm all for a new chat flow thing however this is going to get abused.

[Yawn]

[e5]

Woah, the screen is going to be cramped with speech bubbles coming from every direction!! Can't say that it looks particularly good at the moment. I also don't like the style of the bubbles with more text in them. I do, however, like the "movement" of the bubbles.

Anyway, what's up with all these speech bubble updates now? Is it _really_ a priority?

[Yawn]

y did edible lie then

[Phil]

Ooer I really don't like this! Is this something they're testing out and then implementing or will it be implemented depending on how beta testers like it?

I'd assume that'll just be because it's only in BETA. - I hope so anyway :P.

I'm still getting used to it! You can't drag down speech bubbles anymore. The way to access it is to hover your mouse near the top of the client and drag down, rather than dragging bubbles.

It's like this instead:

Doesn't work in every room! Pretty broken at the minute!

[orientalframe?]

i really don't like these chat bubble things, they look ugly :( hate the chat history too, why do this

[Michael]

It looks so much smoother, though. Hopefully when all the UI changes it'll fit in well, but we'll see till then.

EDIT: However in the casino, the whole things gone to the dogs!

[God]

WAIT WAIT, do we have this atm? and how can we enable this or w,e if soo

[Tyrell]

meh its ok

[Aaron]

I'd say this'll be interesting tool to be brought into the hotel, it's a different type of chat layout. Nice for a change I guess. :P

[Tyrell]

I quite like it tbh. It'd make typing long things so much easier, but similarly easier to spam.

[zombies]

so glad i never got picked it looks bad from what Proms is saying.

[Laurensh1]

Thanks for the vid. Dunno about it tho.

[Daltron]

hmm this is strange :/

[Shorty]

It's really confusing to begin with, it's very hard to keep track of everything within a whole room now, but easier to keep track of the conversation in your own corner of the room. Advantages and disadvantages.

[sex]

how did people even get picked for this. did i miss the day where u h 2 beg powertoo or something

[Hidden]

looks like it is going to be awful

[Absently]

ugh, this is terrible. i much prefer the way it is now! we really don't need this.
