And now, on with the patch notes!
A lot of people are now playing exclusively on mobile, so I decided to move about half of the chat rewrite work up in the schedule to right now!
Here's what Chat v1.5 looks like. There's a lot going on here, so let's go over all the features.
The top left arrow can be used to shrink and grow the chat window.
When chat is minimized and you receive a whisper, a guild message, or a party message, the chat box will highlight to show there's a new message for you to view.
There are now chat tabs that are dedicated to whisper, guild, and party chat.
On the guild and party tabs, you don't have to use /g or /p to chat.
All chat tabs can now be paused to slow down scrolling when new messages come in.
The friends and ignores pop up window has been moved and now pops out of the bottom right of the chat message input box.
The chat text input box now accepts multiline input that wraps around.
And that's Chat v1.5 in all it's glory! Now on to all the other stuff I've been working on.
We've got our first implant in the game as we get ready to release Ascension in October!
