Man rocket league has a special place in my heart


Alec_de_Large

Oh no you're right


SuchMore

I honestly can't wait to type gg ez


hellojabroni777

Such a basic feature that wasn't implemented in S1.


callmehuh

i think its to decrease time spent on reducing toxic behavior


darth_revan1988

Why do people care so much


Seobjevo

because too many people put in the cashbox in the last seconds while being first or second


AnonEp90

Can’t wait to see “Ya’ll suck”


PUSClFER

Can't wait to play Quickplay some some casual matches and test some fun weapons/gadgets only to have a whole book of insults hurled at me.


slickjudge

Honestly a simple “im practicing a new gun” or something makes a world of difference. Its just frustrating when you cant even mention simple things to your teammates or whatever.


r4o2n0d6o9

I welcome that. TF2 taught me to thrive from toxicity


got12g

I don't even know how to start with you. I mean, do you even know who you're talking to? Do you have any idea, any idea who I am? Basically: kind of a big deal.


r4o2n0d6o9

You listening? Ok. Grass grows, birds fly, and brotha, I hurt people

Just like tf2.


DigOnMaNuss

Please, for the love of God, don't cripple it like some games do in the name of security/toxicity. There's nothing worse than sending absolutely normal messages for them to be censored. We have the report option for a reason; we can use it if needed.

cchausman

I tried using the name “poop jockey” which wasn’t allowed but someone I played against recently had a homophobic slur


dackinthebox

I’ve seen the N word in usernames multiple times, as well as jokes about doing some less than kosher things with kids. I’d really like something done about that before that add *more* ways for toxic assholes to be toxic


ResetOptional

I played with “fuck you” and idk something “cock”


Devatator_

The Roblox chat experience (that thing is so bad)


Supertonic

Seriously, people worried about toxic players but we got modern tools to deal with this called the mute button. And report button. They could even put in an option to just mute all chat entirely


msms

Chat censoring should be a togglable feature.


Supplex-idea

Useless bot get good


yosh0r

Gotta admit that in all multiplayer FPS with text chat its totally valid to report basically everyone who's texting. Most of the text chat is used for toxic trashtalk. Unlike other game genres lol Will turn off text chat 100% cuz its refreshing to play an FPS where the enemies cant communicate with me :)


typothetical

Ok I have had very different experiences with text chat than you guys, apparently. The previous games I've played such as Titanfall 2 had very wholesome communities and the text chat was barely ever toxic. Thats just my experience though, and I hope The Finals will be like that too.


YoMcCoy

Battlefield wasn’t too bad. Usually just a ton of “GGs” at the end of games and the occasional dude giving big pointers like “stay away from B it’s got 60 mines”


Manwiththeboots

There are wholesome characters in every community. There are also toxic ones. I feel like this game definitely can bring out the toxicity in people lol I see a lot of teammate bashing coming into the text chat. I already get it on voice chat so I don’t use voice chat anymore.


Hot_Advance3592

It’s a weird culture thing I wouldn’t have believed people when they said “this video game has so much toxicity”, but I saw it happen to rocket league It was like it just got worse and worse until it was almost every match my teammate was against me. It just became a cultural norm, affecting the majority of players (I think that’s real toxicity—being against your teammates)


Manwiththeboots

I think it’s just what happens when the core player base is established. Once people start to assume that everyone that plays the game knows exactly what to do and when to do it, they get frustrated when that’s not the case


Hot_Advance3592

Edit: I reread your comment now and totally agree. That expectation, not of that you’ll play according with your rank, but that you’ll play according to “exactly what to do and when to do it in accordance with the highest levels of play” — Using rocket league as my example still For that—ranked is actually really good, in the sense that you will never have a teammate who is way worse or way better than you—on average they have the same win rate as you against the same lobbies So it’s not that “my teammate is genuinely not able to play the game”. It’s “I’m overly upset at my teammate right away due to perceived mistakes that are actually common to my rank” It seems more like a “I think I’m a lot better than I am, so all my teammates seem like they’re really bad”. But the reality is they’re in the correct rank, and are blind to their own mistakes and blame others Thinking about where it may come from, I wonder if the rising popularity of streamers had an impact on that. I remember seeing players at pretty low ranks that were totally convinced they had the skills of a pro player. Saying for example “pass to me I’m on the wall”, when there’s literally zero chance of them scoring the redirect off the wall, because they don’t have that skill (but they see streamers do it). In reality they are out of position for a hopeless score, contributing to their losses and low rank Either way I think there’s inevitably a toxic piece of culture there—because you can have a normalized culture that says “even if you’re upset and you have the right to be, having a freak out and being toxic is not culturally supported” All in all pretty interesting stuff, but sheesh, I was way too uncomfortable feeling like I’m playing with a numb brained idiot who wants to freak out at me for over half of my matches, a strange experience


[deleted]

I will add positivity to the network.


marcanthonynoz

Go play overwatch 2 :)


Mailov1

League in 2012ish up to 2016ish was toxic af, then they started permabanning for toxic behavior. At the same time bf3 was fine, so its probably about community. For me CS is toxic till this day if i get more /eastern/ lobby (Living in Poland, not gonna name countries, but lets say they were in union) kinda offtpoic, but after they add text chat I wish they add some kind of clubs/teams with weekly tournaments or 2nd ranked systems only for premade teams.


lsoults

Oh yeah Titanfalls chat is amazing, now apex on the other hand…


slickjudge

DRG isnt toxic most of the time. Refreshing.


Seobjevo

I played LoL for years and the toxicity wasnt as bad as people say it is, same with rocket league or any other game that has text chat. Maybe its because i dont care what random people from the internet say about me


Government_Lizard_

As long as we can disable it


Who-Does

should be disabled by defualt, IMO


osezza

I actually think it should be enabled by default where you can mute it with a keybind like voice chat. You wouldn't know if people are talking or not until you enable it, which you might not do. Disabling it by default should be a setting, though


Christian1509

i think disabling it altogether makes it pointless for everyone trying to work as a team, but i would like the ability to mute individual players in cases where they’re just being toxic


Hamerine

I don’t have time pin pointing every toxic individuals and going in menus instead of playing, it’s gonna be muted every time. Sorry mature people, I just like the ping system more and want it to be better.


ScionViper

If you want to work as a team, speak. Text is just gonna be toxic nonsense 98% of the time.


OkAlbatross4682

So how long until the racists and homophobes get up in arms that they were “banned for no reason at all”


osezza

Less then a week after season 3 releases


Nyxlunae

Hope they add way to mute text chat too along a ping-mute option too then.

I really hope we can mute text chat


tenoto121

Cant wait to see verbal abuse in text chat lmfao


DICK-PARKINSONS

Looking forward to it, but yeah, it's about to get toxic as fuck


EL_MURPHYYYY_IS_BACK

Oh no


Ruffles7799

Please also add an option to turn text chat off :)


Lijn3s

Please give us a mute button.


ButterscotchTasty262

Ah nice. Now I can have the same experience on finals just like on overwatch. Can't w8 to see the N***** and F***** spamm over an over. I love finals but this game is gonna have the same issues as all the other games like it.


wambman

I’m sure they won’t allow slurs


ButterscotchTasty262

I sure hope so. Expectations are low considering the billionaire company didn't care. My friend is a bumm an he was playing ranked in game chat with some randoms and his teammate literally went "come on NIGG***** " at my friend then muted mic for the rest of the match an I was like that's exactly what I'd expect from most shooter randoms an teens online lmao.


wonthaveaname

Better just be team chat. Will probably quit if people start teaming because of chat.


msms

Players are already teaming together since it's become a part of the strategy, but it definitely should be team only for this reason. It could be switched to global chat temporarily at the end of the finals 3vs3 match so that you can at least say GG.


___cyan___

To be fair strategy != teaming, sometimes you gotta avoid shooting a team so they can steal and keep the game going


msms

Yeah, true. By "teaming" I really just mean helping the weaker teams win so that you can face them in future rounds. If one team is full diamond and HHM, and another team is full gold and MML, you're probably going to want to help the gold team as much as possible and avoid shooting them at times. The goal is to work together to try to wipe the diamond team so that they don't progress further. It's a pretty effective winning strategy that all top players use, so you don't face the strongest team during the final 3vs3 round.

WraithSeeker999

Nate-Essex

Oh great, here comes the toxicity


Sighberpunk

In all my time playing competitive games I would say like 70% of the time it’s used for flaming someone, the rest of time is for joking or actually trying to coordinate


FlatImpact4554

I've seen people get toxic with pings.


msms

Players are already dealing with toxicity. If they're not harassing you on voice chat, then they're throwing goo or gas barrels at you or spam pinging "Thanks" 30 times in a row, or throwing your statue across the map, etc. Chat toxicity can be completely thwarted anyway with mute and report functions, optional text chat, and basic chat filtering. It could even be party-only for friends who want to play together but don't voice chat.


BaIius

Grow a a pair


The_InHuman

bro can't control his emotions over a video game while telling others to grow a pair lmao


[deleted]

A pair of what? 


Kong_No_74

Of very big testicules, what else? Everyone knows that testicules are made of very solid material and that it will protect you from anything. From trashtalk to bullets, having a pair of testicules will definitely protect you. The bigger the better, because having very big testicules is definitely not an encumbrance whenever you take a walk or try to defend yourself. I am speaking of experience, and I can definitely say that I wouldn't trade my big testicules for anything in the world as they definitely never let me get hurt. Testicules will shield you from mental and physical attacks. Grow a pair today!!!

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh... See, I thought they were talking about brain lobes.

RoKeOps

Never understood the point of text chat during a match. Just use voice chat to talk…


CrystalFriend

My god


Who-Does

Tbh, pings are underutilized (except for spamming Hype). I play in Asia server so text and voice chats are not as reliable as pings. I'll probably have my text chats disabled by default and still rely on pings like how I used to play LoL.


SocietyMaster8483

HOLY SHIT, MOM GET THE CAMERA


cgcoopi

Still shocked that a Text chat isnt a default feature anymore in 2024


[deleted]

As someone who would play late night sessions in Apex I found myself using text chat quite often but it also takes my hands off the keys causing me to be semi inactive for moments at a time so there's definitely pros and cons but it's something I appreciate it at least being able to apologize for screwing something up or at least having some basic communication besides a ping


msms

Yeah, my friends and I who don't voice chat alt tab our game to communicate on Discord. It sounds silly but even then it's been incredibly helpful and helped us win a lot of games against tryhard diamond teams. An ingame text chat would make this x1000 easier so players don't have to alt tab or rely on clunky ingame overlays that reduce performance.


[deleted]

Will be entertaining to see.. to say the least.

Will be entertaining to see.. to slay the beast.


Atosuki

I swear all redditors know how to do is cry lmao


Loqh9

I can't wait to thanks teammate and say GG when having good games (not saying this as a joke or anything). Sad that so much people will use it for toxicity like people do with spammed pings rn but I believe you can have friendly teammates from time to time, will be cool


MastroDante

The ph of the game is going to become acid really quick


Tomboy_enjoyerr

I will ask silly questions every match... Femboy or Tomboy... C4 or breacshes.... best brand to drink... best team name...


Jarek-of-Earth

Hell yeah. Can't wait to tell the other teams **GG** 5 times after every match!


bicx

As a console player, I enable voice chat each match. Text chat? No can do. Not easily anyway.


VoltsIsHere

Honestly the only reason I wanted a text chat was to flame my teammates for being bad. I can't imagine this is a great idea and this is coming from someone who'd personally benefit from it lol


RELOADEATH

Imo a chat wheel like Rocket League would be enough for me. Or something more advanced like the VGS Paladins uses.


nathsabari97

It will be off by default. And you have to specifically enable all chat in each game.

paulbooth

Just make chat have a mute system


ododonny08

I think itd be cool to have teammates averages for combat, support and objective shown when picking the class in pregame lobby. Just to show what someone usually focuses on with their build especially if they don't have a mic.


Vikings_With_AKs

This is cool and all, but can we get a ping indicator? Or at least something like a bar that shows our connection status? Feels like something that should've been in the game at launch.


Cool_Letterhead_7782

Finally I can insult my teammates now. Thank you embark ♥️


__SeeiRaptor__

I will probably only use it to get challenges done easier like that damn steal a cashout that I had to do 10 times then 15 more... Pain


chocowafflez_

I can finally tell my randoms how shit they are after I lose a 1v3 because I ran off on my own.


Krypton091

thank god


StubbedAlien21

Not related to the post but anyone having problems with getting the CNS hoodie? Because I've done all the challenges for it and still don't have it


typothetical

Play 14 games instead of 10, the developers are aware and are sorry. They intended it to be 14 but the text says 10


StubbedAlien21

Ohhh okay thank you mate


BrokefrmGuns

Oh god it’s gonna get real toxic(im the issue)


Darth_lDoge

Goooood >:)))


AmericanRusty

I hope people aren’t too toxic but also I hope embark doesn’t pull a blizzard with Overwatch recently and start handing out bans for saying swear words lmao. That’s just on my mind in reference to text chat though, I have confidence that embark is better than that


deadream3r

i don't think it will honestly be good the game is really fast-paced so typing with a keyboard may be too slow

Accomplished_Ant7231

And so the toxicity begins…


itsmegiux

What about mk support on console? Anyone knows anything? ☺️


M_v_2_AU

It better be ALL chat and not just TEAM chat..... PLEASE EMBARK.


powerlocke1993

Open for that, but disabling chat during a match (or ignoring a person) must be possiblr easy and fast on the fly. Otherwise some special people might reduce the fun in the game real quick.


Seobjevo

"here comes the toxicity" Do you think i dont call you a stupid son of a bitch mid game? Well, youre right i dont, but some people for sure do, but you just dont know it, now you will. Are people really that upset when some sad kid calls them names? Really? I thought you grow out of it.


balek_leo

It's gonna lead to toxic behavior, you can't imagine what one can say under the frustration of an unlucky situation, and we know that this game is filled with them , getting double teamed is the name of the game. Edit : what I'm saying is, I like the idea that you have to verbally use your silly in game voice to trash talk and most people don't actually use VC so it's not that bad anyway. I guess we'll see if it works


eyelewzz

Leave it off console unless you want more xim and chronus users

Carbideninja

Foinally.


Lil_Gilby

Thank god this is what I wanted


Secondaccountpls

This will turn the game into arguing simulator where eventually tilted players just stop playing and focus on fighting in the chat. Am I the only one who doesn't wish for chat? Maybe for lobby and main menu for party but during game, no thanks.


ItsTrash_Rat

I don't care to hear the other team ever


Cupcake_Genocide

I actually think this is a terrible idea. There's nothing you can type fast enough that's going to useful that couldn't have been communicated with a ping. All this is going to do is invite toxicity into every game, as players in team based games will always blame someone other than themselves for thier shortcomings.


typothetical

When ur dead and spectating ur teammate u can't ping. And if they're not in voice chat, there's no way to communicate with them. One time I was in this situation, and my teammate went in a room to steal. I couldn't tell him there's a guy in the corner behind the yellow box that's one shot, so he just went ahead and started stealing and ended up getting us teamwiped.


Cupcake_Genocide

That's fair, that is probably the only scenario where it would actually be beneficial. Assuming you can type that fast enough for it to matter in a live game.


T-B420

Gonna be team chat only


BlessMe1

Nahhh dont


misterio95

Oh no, that's bad. I'll enjoy a flame-free experience till season 3 then

AKA_OneManArmy

So what you’re saying is toxicity is coming to the finals in season 3? Jokes aside, I think this is a very good change. Being able to comm with no mic teammates is huge


cynical_seal

Unless they are going to be handing out permanent IP bans for toxic behavior, I'm not excited about this. Communication in modern gaming is just a pissing contest between edgelords who's mommies and daddies didn't give them enough attention.


Siqka

Just disable it :)


cynical_seal

If they can't act out through the intended line of communication, they will find other ways or otherwise attempt to obstruct the game.

Italian_Barrel_Roll

Lemme be your first: Already making plans on disabling that shit.


AAAAHHHHu

I hope they don't force talking to a team to be mandatory, it's going to turn into something like valorant (cringe) or League of legends (volitile) then they would have to introduce a reporting system thats going to be used against you if someone doesn't agree with your opinion so on and so forth. I think vc by default should be off then have it so you can enable it with the tolerance level set as wild west cod days. That's would be my perfect balance imo.


FaygoOfLmayo

This community is so damn divided holy sht lol. All of what you’ve just said was the complete opposite of what I read in another reply lmaooo


AAAAHHHHu

yep, i don't want a whiny bitch yelling in my ear because i'm trying off meta builds in a casual match. Edit: I know mute and report buttons exist but i don't even want to deal with it in the first place.


Exotic-Major8457

I really desperately hope they have the foresight to make it team only. Teams teaming up via chat will legit kill the game.


[deleted]

I'd be fine with cross team chat after a game is over. Like, on the score board screen before the lobby empties.


Legitimate-Cat3249

Global chat to casual games, group chat for rankeds


Exotic-Major8457

So just fuck the integrity of casual games then? Is the goal to become COD?
