I don't see why this game doesn't have a team chat already considering it is a team game.

They could easily just make it a tab or something like tribe-chat that you could either choose not to look at/disable. It would be a fine addition to the game in my opinion.

If nothing else, I personally find little against it, and I know quite a few people that would simply love it.

Well, I don't know if players would bother doing team chats, since this is a 'fast-paced' game, full of alertness and all. Personally, I wouldn't see team chat as a usable commodity.

I disagree, I think it is a perfect was to add fun to the game and make it more strategic for the players.

A team chat would be useful since it is a team game

Team chat would only be useful in surprise-type situations e.g. domination.

It wouldn't be as useful as a headset where you can move and type, but it can be helpful if you want to coordinate an attack against an otherwise impenetrable defense, or perhaps let people know what you're planning to do as VIP (rather than either A) assume/hope people know or B) shout it out loud for all to hear)

Edit: Also, sorry for forgetting the "adds no practical value"/"not useable" type option; I knew I forgot something, so glad I added an "other" option :)

Even if the tab wouldn't make much of a difference to the game-play, I don't really see much of a downside to actually having it besides players probably being less social outside of their team's chat.

I've been in situations before where making a push with multiple teammates probably would have granted us the flag, kill the VIP easier, or even just have a scout go find out where the other players are in domination and how well protected they are so we could combat against that.

I don't really see it taking away from the game still, but just adding to it for those who want to use it.

True, no one has voted that it would "detract" from the game yet. I still would prefer something akin to whispering where it has it's own tab and shows up in the main window, or something akin to !tc (traitor chat) from the "#traitor" mini-game on Transformice, where you can send a private message to your colleagues, but it only shows up on the main window (with both of these limiting default chat getting ignored as much)

team chat would be good so you can actually give information to your team (such as the other team's position) without the other team knowing (because if they did they would obviously move thus making your information irrelevant).

team game

Teamchat would be extremely useful as it will create a more cooperative background with your team during the game.

Team chat would be helpful Example: blue vip is injured one of his teammates say "everyone go down and dig!"
Worst Possible Scenario lues willl cut u off at da bottom and conjure the top to lure where dey want ya

I don't concern it,because once I'm red and capturing the flag with mates,we have have done that like a piece of cake as the blue team has only one guy fighting.

That guy said:flag
But nothing changes.So I can image the whole scenario.

in blue team,
Guy A:protect the flag guys!
Guy B:flag?what flag?
Guy C(shooting enemies on ground Bang Bang Bang):who cares

The point is if there where, say, 5 people actually attacking and 3 people actually defending; if the 5 people all do their own thing at random intervals, there's a good chance they could be repelled. But if someone messaged for everyone to gather to the top left and quickly dig a new surprise tunnel, even if 3/5 or the players we care about listened, that's 2 more than you could get now without announcing it to the other team as well =p

I don't think any of us believe this will increase the number of people doing the objective :(

Team chat would add to the gameplay experience.

I think it isn't SUPER necessary but would make things more fun and add to the experience eventually forcing some to maybe chat once in a while.

Team chat on Forteresse is white by the way.

This is awesome. The next step would be an voice chat (If Possible, of course it's not, it will not happen, but it's the actual next step). Like CSGO. Better to communicate and it's easier, since you don't need to actually stop and type something: 90% of the time you die typing. Lol.

IMO i find it unnecessary to have a team chat, because it will just add up to the other whisper tabs + the main chat tab, and it will be hard to see and reply to all of them, and even if you did manage to reply to all the tabs, you might get typekilled, or leave the victory of your allies to the enemy (if you are a team mvp)
