I support text chat option in lobby AND in game. Some people like me simply dont use/like microphones.

You are either a bronze player or a fool.

You'd have your whole team die because some idiot said "LOL" when he killed a husk?

Also... people, you can get headphones with mics for like ten bucks, it's really easy. And most laptops come with built in mics.

very helpful for late night sessions when you can't talk loud because people/pets/infants are sleeping!

learn to type quickly then. twitch trigger fps games like counterstrike have in-game text chat. EVERY OTHER MULTIPLAYER PC GAME HAS TEXT CHAT.

and what about people with computers in shared living spaces? would you rather you heard everything that went on in the background?

What about mutes? What about the deaf? What about those who play late at night and dont want to wake housemates?

Try not to call people things before questioning yourself.

First, a well implement text chat doesn't have any impact in your gameplay. Limitations are present in most games with text chat, some of them even have options to turn it of completely. Thats rarely an issue. 

Second, you don't have to use it.

And third and most important thing. There are more than a handful of situations in which a person cannot speak. The most trivial technical issue among PC is when a person in lobby simply cant hear or speak to another. A strong argument can be made about speech disorders.

Lol, are we still beating the dead horse 8 months later.

It was a joke don't flame me. I would be happy to see an ingame text chat too.

I agree, text chat should have been there from the get-go

Not sure if I +1'd this before, so I'll do it again just to be on the safe side.

I'll reply to this with the forum standard reply:

If you can't play platinum and type at the same time. Then maybe you didn't belong on platinum in the first place.

I CAN type quickly, it's the other people that can't. 

And the games that have text chat aren't relying on the entire team staying alive. I don't want to lose a match because half my team stopped to talk and got instakilled by phantoms. 

And also, you can set it up so  the mic only goes on when you turn it on, you know. Mine is set up so I press tab and speak, then it stops when I stop holding tab. Doesn't effect gameplay, but people don't have to hear everything going on in the background.

It does when the team goes down for chatting at a bad time. Even if I don't use it, other people will. 

As I said, i'm fine with it in the lobby, it's in-match that's the problem.  

And do you really think that with the amount of planning that bioware does, that they'll actaully add an option to disable it in lobbies? They don't even have a map search filtering system yet.

You take that reply, and go tell it to the campers on Rio. See what they think of it.

Meanwhile I'm going to be searching for any map reaper matches on platinum and joining a bunch of noob matches in progress on rio.

Not signed, One of the reasons why I like this game is the no chat. :P

Don't mind me. Just trying to find the BioWare responses in the thread... by bumping it to the first page where I can find it and click the BioWare logo. :F

Edit: I guess this was the wrong thread to search for answers.

This feature will make the game right around the time Bioware releases a patch that actually fixes stuff instead of just listing it in the notes.
