In-game chat - interface suggestions
Posted: Tue Jan 24, 2012 4:23 pm
Currently if you type someone's name and then a colon, it switches to a whisper format (and stays whispering until you manually toggle back). I think it'd be more useful if it acted just like in most IRC clients where it highlighted the line to the person you were answering. This way the person who was looking for information will see their line relevantly highlighted and anyone else spectating can benefit from the information as well.
Whisper could use the IRC shorthand of /msg or an alias like /w.
In addition, I feel that scrollwheeling over chat should reset the opacity. Currently if chat is already faded, then the scrollwheel will just scroll through the faded chat.
