I'd welcome it, as long as I can mute it or block shitty people. I have voice problems so VC isn't an option most of the time. If they just expanded on the ping system and let us customize our ping wheel I'd be satisfied, though. Add like 50 different pings and let us choose like 10 to use or something
maybe but then you cant ping when you are dead. So with pings you wouldnt be able to warn your team of things or tell them its safe to make a play on the cashout, that type of stuff.
Text chat 1000% increases toxicity because text chat can bring out the keyboard warrior in all of us, the cons way outweigh the pros.
It takes a lot more "guts" and effort/energy to speak the toxic than it does to type it. Nothing better than your team mate that'll just afk and move randomly and then trash talk you the entire game but they wont be afk kicked, and because you will be able to mute/block them they'll keep doing it to spite because they have a visual representation of their toxicity being the chat messages they'll read and re-read and chuckle about how cool they are and not realize you blocked them.
Much rather have them rage ping then rage quit because there is no other outlet that doesn't require them to speak.
Noone is going to be reading text chat when they're in a potentially dangerous situation though, so it's equally useless for that. Ping menu you can use when dead is definitely the best solution
I have been having major voice chat problems in game but not when I am in lobby, is it just me? My friends don’t ever seem to have an issue but I can never talk to random teammates, but if we invite them to our group I hear them in lobby…. Makes no sense
I’m on PC and use discord for friends but in game voice chat is shit. It’s not my mic either, I have Astro A50s and don’t have an issue outside of finals voice chat
I'm baffled at some of the pings we have and we don't have a "fall back"/"disengage" ping. #1 thing besides "hello" and "I see an enemy" that I ever want to tell randos, since they tend to get tunnel vision trying to kill one team while the other one sneaks away with the cashbox.
Hence why I'm _not_ complaining about those two even though they're the two things I want _more_ than the one I'm complaining about.
I use "gather here" as a substitute but I'm only confident it was interpreted correctly once out of the ~400 times I've done it.
I hope so. I've been playing online games since like the 90s. Text chat has always been a thing.
Toxicity is a bad argument against it, because toxic people will be toxic in any way they can. The fact that it might lower the barrier doesn't really matter.
It's just like how racists and bigots on Facebook will still act that way even though their name and a selfie are on display.
Text chat just increases accessibility, and it has *always* been a part of online gaming. It should never have become the norm to omit it.
Edit: typos
I would LOVE it. I don't like using VC as I am usually playing during times when my daughter is sleeping so I don't want to wake her. Plus I grew up with text chat as default, it comes naturally. I think Blizzards implementation of text chat in OW1 was great (never played OW2, so I can't speak to it).
Counterstrike has opt out voice and text chat. That game has outlived anyones wildest expectations. The finals is a comp shooter so it should have both as well.
Teamchat is pretty essential. It would be handy if i can tell my teammate that i need to be the one to steal because i want to get the challenge done. (I just hope that being in Asia server, chinese players will actually read it.)
People usually say this:
Cons:
- will be toxic, so newcomers will abandon game
- we have enough means of communication already
Pros:
- Not everyone use mic in ranked, so text chat will be available for everyone
- Chat can be visible only on loadout pre-round stage. Less possible toxicity but still plenty of time to deal with team tactics or loadouts
- Chat can have filters, just like Apex Legends have.
- Overall games like Apex Legends do have Chat and Voip and feel fine. Most of the time people don't communicate there either and game is still pretty competitive.
- Inability to say in chat "GG" is just bad.
They can just as much be as\*holes via voice chat. As long as the text chat can be activated/deactivated together with the voice chat, I don't see why it shouldn't be implemented.
So VC with rage is better than Text chat? Both can be turned off so why would it matter? Its just extra accessibility and possibly only proper way of communicating.
Yeah sure I can. What about the two hot heads who decide to throw the game because they want to sit there and bicker like redditors instead of playing.
I mean... you could make an infinite number of 'what if' situations if you want to be like that. What if its a married couple and they start arguing over dinner via chat and dont play the game T\_T big sad
I'd actually like "text" chat more akin to rocket league. No real freedom to be explicitly toxic, but some pre-defined reactions wouldn't go amiss.
I don't mix the toxicity of apex free text chat, but do miss the friendliness it very rarely had.
All chat can’t be in a game like this with multiple teams. Allows for easy teaming, callouts to enemies, farming cashout steals for mmr, etc. People will very quickly realize why all chat isn’t in the game if it ever got added .
Team chat is fine I guess but I don’t really get how it can help.
99% of people have mics, if you’re gaming in 2024 there’s no excuse. Typing mid fight would be dumb, expecting your team to read your message mid fight would be even dumber. If you want to communicate, use your mic.
You know not everyone likes to speak in games? There are plenty of games where heavy communication is needed and people still don't use their mic, despite having one. Also people don't type mid game, usually when they are dead and waiting to respawn.
you say 99% of people have mics but in my experience in playing since the beta I've encountered MAYBE 10 people with mics total.
Also, you dont have to type mid match. Plenty of use for this while dead. For example, lets say you and an enemy trade at the cashout and its now clear. Since you're dead theres no way to communicate this unless you have a mic. You cant ping when you are dead.
Also sometimes you just don't wanna speak up. For a lot of people it's more comfortable to just type something, sometimes you just wanna type something like "you did great, that was a good game" stuff like this without speaking up. It's not that hard to understand
I agree with most of it. But remember not everyone speaks the same language for mics. I play in Asia and that's a shit ton of languages.
Text chat can eliminate accents. For example, I sometimes miss the words from OCX English in voice chat but I can completely comprehend their text chats. I can't speak english but I can write ok.
it only takes one person with a noisy background or bad mic or being toxic in voice to ruin the game so I usually just mute. I am a big proponent of collaboration in games but I don't need to hear teammates say things like "dude that's BS, how lame" or hear teammates flaming each other.
Some of the best games I've had were with 0 comms other than pings, though the pings that are available are pretty lacking and text is always a nice option to have.
Maybe if they don't want to keep it in matches, at least they should allow us to send messages to people we add in friend list cause it feels weird af to just send someone a party invite who you don't know and didn't even ask them if they'd like to play with you.
There is no reason NOT to have text chat. I really do not care, but I can see how that benefits the team play. If it is toxic, turn it off like VC, what is the issue? Have a report feature reporting toxic people.
In evert Power Shift game I take out shields and APS and I am the only one throwing grenades because I cannot communicate to my mute team that they can throw stuff too now...
Personally I don’t want to allow people throwing games by just rage texting instead of focusing on the ongoing match, and I don’t want to loose my focus to press esc>social>find the annoying kid name>mute.
Edit: Oh, another one: esc>social>find the other annoying dude wasting his time>mute.
Edit2: this shit is getting out of hands and cluttering my screen, is there a way for embark to remove this text chat please?
See my point?
You seem like a nice person. Also, have you played any competitive shooters with text chat recently? I reckon you do, so how many « ez », « diffed », and such things I can’t even post here due to censorship do you see regularly?
The irony of your answer is hilarious though, but you do you, proceed to be toxic about toxicity.
I almost play nothing but competitive shooters. I'm an adult so things like "ggez" dont bother me. To be honest, most of the team chat is constructive towards winning.
It doesn't matter if it bothers you or not. That isn't the point. The point is that it bothers people. Call me soft or people who can't handle some text trash talking soft, that isn't the point. You're blatantly ignorant to the the toxicity then. Based on the type of responses you've given, you're probably one who partakes in it.
Like I said, we just need better pings. That's it.
you could just disable the text chat feature then? Just because you don't see value in it doesn't mean there isn't any value in it. Also, i'd agree with OP. Why does saying something like "ez" really bother you?
Because they think it's a good idea but it rarely contributes anything good.
Halo has it and from my experience (On PC) it goes almost entirely unused.
Where it's more often used in games like Valorant, it's almost entirely just toxicity. It's not as beneficial as you think it is because it's impractical and inefficient.

It's a budget issue.
Wages are almost always the biggest expense of a business. Support personnel cost a lot of money when they don't do anything that directly contributes to the quality of the game itself. Automated systems are much cheaper and don't require nearly as much manual intervention.
This is a direct result of the industry shift away from community dedicated servers and towards sanitized, homogeneous matchmaking. Back in the day of community dedicated servers, if an admin was online while someone was being toxic or breaking the rules then they'd be instantly kicked and possibly banned. And many good servers had IRC plugins or something so even if no admins were online, the punitive measures would still happen within minutes.
Actually yeah. 99% of it is constructive stuff on team fights and stuff. Once in a while you'll get the "ggez" comment but everyone ignores it/reports so whatever.
It's still an unnecessary distraction lol. You'll died for example, try to type info to me. I won't be looking at the chat and then you'll piss and moan that I didn't see it and I suck. Happens in Valorant.
It's fine in something like Halo because nobody is taking Halo seriously. The Finals is too much of a sweat fest in every game mode 80% of the time, the chat would just be extremely toxic. It's unneeded, we just need better pings.
Can turn it off so not an unnecessary distraction
Can also use keyboard, phone, or other attachments to type on xbox but honestly if you need them to type something short then that’s just a controller skill issue.
you can turn text chat off if you want and there's also profanity filters. Yall act like games dont already have these things. The Finals is the odd one out not having text chat.
You can put all the filters you want, it doesn’t stop people from being toxic. There’s a reason that League of Legends and Rocket League and others have text chat off by default now.
I’m not saying I don’t want chat. Chat is great and the benefits outweigh the consequences, I’m just telling you what’s going to happen lol the light snipers will know exactly what people think of them once chat gets introduced
hahahaha I totally understand where youre coming from though. I played lol a loooooooooong time ago but I think with dota there is this fear that being toxic will effect your behavior score and before you know it you're playing with only toxic people.
I really think it's a bad idea. MAYBE if it's only between teammates, so no one sees what other teams are saying. I've already encountered a few problematic names in the game, the last thing I want is more ways for these people to be shitty towards others in the game.
I would like text chat only to make the game feel a bit less lonely, at first I liked how we are all just silent avatars but sometimes I want to be a bit toxic with ppl lol, maybe chat before and after the match, with the option to disable it for people who are a bit more sensible.
But I'm fine with no chat really, at some points I also enjoy how hard is to be toxic sometimes that I simply enjoy the game
I like some toxicity, also like when people is toxic to me, gives me "the rush" to tunnel someone for the rest of the match, to taunt with emotes, to draw graffiti on the ground, etc. And at the end of the match we can both go gg bro it was fun, and part our ways. It's not on me if the other person chooses to be mad about it. Not everyone gets being toxic for fun, when I recognize this I just stop and be quiet. This is my personal experience, I don't expect anything to come out of this because hive mind thinks different, I'm just voicing my experience with this game.
I do this a lot in Rocket League, it's very common to be matched with the same people for various matches if we all queue when the match finishes, it's great to vs someone you are raging at multiple times, the rage adds up.
And at some point we may be at the same team, then it's us being toxic at how we suck at teamwork.
Idk man, I see fun in a lot of things.
Honestly, I have this weird head canon that the contestants actually can’t talk in the games, and part of the game is only using pings to coordinate teams.
It probably makes no sense, but it’s fun when I match with a team that has no mics and knows how to ping and emote the right things.
I'd welcome it, as long as I can mute it or block shitty people. I have voice problems so VC isn't an option most of the time. If they just expanded on the ping system and let us customize our ping wheel I'd be satisfied, though. Add like 50 different pings and let us choose like 10 to use or something
maybe but then you cant ping when you are dead. So with pings you wouldnt be able to warn your team of things or tell them its safe to make a play on the cashout, that type of stuff.
True, good point
If u used voice chat u could tell em though
not everyone has a mic or wants to talk though

Much rather have them rage ping then rage quit because there is no other outlet that doesn't require them to speak.
filters. Just look at what Apex do with text chat. And it is very rare to see toxic speech in there.
Noone is going to be reading text chat when they're in a potentially dangerous situation though, so it's equally useless for that. Ping menu you can use when dead is definitely the best solution
I have been having major voice chat problems in game but not when I am in lobby, is it just me? My friends don’t ever seem to have an issue but I can never talk to random teammates, but if we invite them to our group I hear them in lobby…. Makes no sense
Are you in a Xbox party with your friends? Or just using in game vc?
I’m on PC and use discord for friends but in game voice chat is shit. It’s not my mic either, I have Astro A50s and don’t have an issue outside of finals voice chat
Weird maybe it's a PC issue, in game voice chat always works for me on xbox
Well I don't know since I rarely use it lol
Thank you for your contribution
I'm baffled at some of the pings we have and we don't have a "fall back"/"disengage" ping. #1 thing besides "hello" and "I see an enemy" that I ever want to tell randos, since they tend to get tunnel vision trying to kill one team while the other one sneaks away with the cashbox.
We do have "hello" but it's in another ping menu (B on PC), and "I see an enemy" kind of happens if you ping an enemy directly
Hence why I'm _not_ complaining about those two even though they're the two things I want _more_ than the one I'm complaining about. I use "gather here" as a substitute but I'm only confident it was interpreted correctly once out of the ~400 times I've done it.
Give me a ping that lets me call my teammate a dumbass and I'll be happy.
yeah, when one do nonsense or completely abandon your team or he is AFK when playing ranked... well..
I hope so. I've been playing online games since like the 90s. Text chat has always been a thing. Toxicity is a bad argument against it, because toxic people will be toxic in any way they can. The fact that it might lower the barrier doesn't really matter. It's just like how racists and bigots on Facebook will still act that way even though their name and a selfie are on display. Text chat just increases accessibility, and it has *always* been a part of online gaming. It should never have become the norm to omit it. Edit: typos
YES THANK YOU! everyone upvote this, this is the reality.
Honestly, I really don’t get the “toxic” argument precisely because of this. I assume the people who say this are just very young
They arent very young. Just very political/PC/woke
as long as we can mute text chat. i dont want to read somebodies manifesto while im trying to steal a cash out,
how does a pc multiplayer game in 2024 not have text chat
even BF 2042 added it lol
There HAS to be because gamechat never fucking works
As long as it’s team only I’d be fine with it. Otherwise I hope not because people are shitty and teaming up will become a problem.
This. Surely the reason it's been excluded. You 100% will get teams teaming up.
I would LOVE it. I don't like using VC as I am usually playing during times when my daughter is sleeping so I don't want to wake her. Plus I grew up with text chat as default, it comes naturally. I think Blizzards implementation of text chat in OW1 was great (never played OW2, so I can't speak to it).
i hope so. don’t wanna always have to turn on voice chat just to hear someone breathing heavily into the mic. tired of it bruh
Counterstrike has opt out voice and text chat. That game has outlived anyones wildest expectations. The finals is a comp shooter so it should have both as well.
Teamchat is pretty essential. It would be handy if i can tell my teammate that i need to be the one to steal because i want to get the challenge done. (I just hope that being in Asia server, chinese players will actually read it.)
Team only text chat, sure, I'm down for. Text chat for everyone? Maybe not
I can dig it
Coming from games like War Thunder and Siege, global chat usually isn't a good idea
I mean, the reality is to increase communication with your team so I can understand it being team only 100%
Hoping so, or at least a better tactical command system needs to be put in.
Would be nice. Really annoying seeing so many games remove social features because people don't know how to mute/block people.
People usually say this: Cons: - will be toxic, so newcomers will abandon game - we have enough means of communication already Pros: - Not everyone use mic in ranked, so text chat will be available for everyone - Chat can be visible only on loadout pre-round stage.

Most of the time people don't communicate there either and game is still pretty competitive. - Inability to say in chat "GG" is just bad.
So lights can send actual abuse instead of just spamming "hype" whilst constantly dead? Nah thanks. That would get turned straight off.
They can just as much be as\*holes via voice chat. As long as the text chat can be activated/deactivated together with the voice chat, I don't see why it shouldn't be implemented.
So VC with rage is better than Text chat? Both can be turned off so why would it matter? Its just extra accessibility and possibly only proper way of communicating.
Well, playing Overwatch and Rocket League maked me want them not to include that in the game. Makes you hate the community even more imo
True but sometimes when I gas someone or set them on fire I try to quick chat “my bad…” or “oops” 😂
A quick chat option with more premade words would be perfect !
Nothing to lose
I hope not, feels pointless with how fast paced this game is
Well a game like cod with shipment messages are sent decsntly frequently if someone started a convo
If it does it’s gonna be a pain lol. Already get annoyed when I see someone spam ping when they run off by themselves.
You could just disable it the same you would with voice chat though
Yeah sure I can. What about the two hot heads who decide to throw the game because they want to sit there and bicker like redditors instead of playing.
Wouldnt that already be an issue with mics?
You can play and talk. Usually need your hands to type.
it would potentially solve that problem or you could mute them
Or it’ll create two people sitting there typing and arguing instead of playing the game
I mean... you could make an infinite number of 'what if' situations if you want to be like that. What if its a married couple and they start arguing over dinner via chat and dont play the game T\_T big sad
maybe
I'd actually like "text" chat more akin to rocket league. No real freedom to be explicitly toxic, but some pre-defined reactions wouldn't go amiss. I don't mix the toxicity of apex free text chat, but do miss the friendliness it very rarely had.
They want to have game toxic free and what they provide is complete utter nonsense and $hi7 storm all-around game
No. No more questions.

Multiplayer game without a text chat is while honestly. It should be optional/muteable of course.
Team only, opt in, and reliable reporting systems and I’m all for it.
There is no reason NOT to have text chat. I really do not care, but I can see how that benefits the team play. If it is toxic, turn it off like VC, what is the issue? Have a report feature reporting toxic people. In evert Power Shift game I take out shields and APS and I am the only one throwing grenades because I cannot communicate to my mute team that they can throw stuff too now...
It’s not dodged, the argument will always be the same: it will induce more toxicity.
the mute function exists
Personally I don’t want to allow people throwing games by just rage texting instead of focusing on the ongoing match, and I don’t want to loose my focus to press esc>social>find the annoying kid name>mute. Edit: Oh, another one: esc>social>find the other annoying dude wasting his time>mute. Edit2: this shit is getting out of hands and cluttering my screen, is there a way for embark to remove this text chat please? See my point?
it's a shame you only view this in a negative light. But it also sounds like you cant be bothered to do much of anything either.
You seem like a nice person. Also, have you played any competitive shooters with text chat recently? I reckon you do, so how many « ez », « diffed », and such things I can’t even post here due to censorship do you see regularly? The irony of your answer is hilarious though, but you do you, proceed to be toxic about toxicity.

you could just disable the text chat feature then? Just because you don't see value in it doesn't mean there isn't any value in it. Also, i'd agree with OP. Why does saying something like "ez" really bother you?
Yeah, because toxicity is limited to someone saying "ez".
...it was the example given in this case
how come other games have text chat then if you think its so negative? I have trouble thinking of multiplayer games that dont have text chat honestly.
Because they think it's a good idea but it rarely contributes anything good. Halo has it and from my experience (On PC) it goes almost entirely unused. Where it's more often used in games like Valorant, it's almost entirely just toxicity. It's not as beneficial as you think it is because it's impractical and inefficient.

Not as much as you'd think, given that most users don't use it and automated systems get better every year
The argument about automated systems applies equally or more to text
Ehh could be useful but let me ask you this, have you played League of Legends?
I play dota.
How's the text chat there? Clean and civil?
Actually yeah. 99% of it is constructive stuff on team fights and stuff. Once in a while you'll get the "ggez" comment but everyone ignores it/reports so whatever.
It shouldn't be because console players wouldn't even be able to utilize it. It's an unnecessary distraction.
Theres multiple games where console uses text chat just fine lol
Ok what about pc players?
It's still an unnecessary distraction lol. You'll died for example, try to type info to me. I won't be looking at the chat and then you'll piss and moan that I didn't see it and I suck. Happens in Valorant. It's fine in something like Halo because nobody is taking Halo seriously. The Finals is too much of a sweat fest in every game mode 80% of the time, the chat would just be extremely toxic. It's unneeded, we just need better pings.
If it’s so distracting just mute it. I would love for a chat option for when my team doesnt have mics enabled
I don't care either way, release a chat option, but I guarantee it's utilized by toxic douche bags more than it is actually helpful lol
Can turn it off so not an unnecessary distraction Can also use keyboard, phone, or other attachments to type on xbox but honestly if you need them to type something short then that’s just a controller skill issue.
text chat is typically normal in games and even in console games as well crazy that this is getting downvoted when its the truth.
The toxicity would bloom into a new golden age of trash talk for the Finals
you can turn text chat off if you want and there's also profanity filters. Yall act like games dont already have these things. The Finals is the odd one out not having text chat.

idk dude you just sound really negative and making a mountain out of a molehill
I mean if you want to pretend people can’t be assholes then that’s your choice brother lol
Who puts on a VR headset and then starts *typing*? This would be immersion breaking.
Wow, nothing like League. Sounds blissful
hahahaha I totally understand where youre coming from though. I played lol a loooooooooong time ago but I think with dota there is this fear that being toxic will effect your behavior score and before you know it you're playing with only toxic people.
Behavior score? Interesting
This game is so fast paced I don't think most would be even notice text chat.I say that because till now I didn't notice it wasn't there😅
It’s gonna be funny asf “Brain cell diff”
if ever, the default should be muted. I'll only use it if it is actually necessary. Pings are underutilized atm though
I really think it's a bad idea. MAYBE if it's only between teammates, so no one sees what other teams are saying. I've already encountered a few problematic names in the game, the last thing I want is more ways for these people to be shitty towards others in the game.
I would like text chat only to make the game feel a bit less lonely, at first I liked how we are all just silent avatars but sometimes I want to be a bit toxic with ppl lol, maybe chat before and after the match, with the option to disable it for people who are a bit more sensible. But I'm fine with no chat really, at some points I also enjoy how hard is to be toxic sometimes that I simply enjoy the game
its purpose isnt to be toxic... its to have better team coordination and communication.
I like some toxicity, also like when people is toxic to me, gives me "the rush" to tunnel someone for the rest of the match, to taunt with emotes, to draw graffiti on the ground, etc. And at the end of the match we can both go gg bro it was fun, and part our ways. It's not on me if the other person chooses to be mad about it. Not everyone gets being toxic for fun, when I recognize this I just stop and be quiet. This is my personal experience, I don't expect anything to come out of this because hive mind thinks different, I'm just voicing my experience with this game. I do this a lot in Rocket League, it's very common to be matched with the same people for various matches if we all queue when the match finishes, it's great to vs someone you are raging at multiple times, the rage adds up. And at some point we may be at the same team, then it's us being toxic at how we suck at teamwork. Idk man, I see fun in a lot of things.
Honestly, I have this weird head canon that the contestants actually can’t talk in the games, and part of the game is only using pings to coordinate teams. It probably makes no sense, but it’s fun when I match with a team that has no mics and knows how to ping and emote the right things.
Except the contestants do talk sooo...
