With the current UI, the chat can be quite annoying in Lockdown. It stops you (or if its only me who has this problem) from seeing the health of all your team-mates. This can be really annoying for guardians as it will stop them from doing part of there job, which is healing team-mates.

And ,you know, sometimes people just don't want to see the messages that spammers are spamming their nonsense or the Trojan-poop that some knights talk about. Yes, you can solve this by ignoring every single one of them but that just takes time especially if a knight has a randomly long name. Yes, you'll be able to see what knights are saying through their speech bubbles but that shouldn't really bother you if you're searching the Auction House or if you just don't read them. Do not say that people should ''just don't read'' the chat; people can make a frenzy of colours in your chat and that can get annoying.

It is sad to say, but this is a must.

Yes that would be good , also why not the possibility to switch chats , for exanple , only for Normal talk, guild talk or /zone messages (of course the option for seeing all of them still remains)

Another idea?

Remove the ability to non-Team chat inside LD, and also enable team chat in random/Guild team BN.

EDIT: Sorry, I meant disabling the public 'party' chat in LD. Deeeeerp.

No. That causes a social barrier in LD. If implemented, while playing, you can talk to, at most, 5 other people (assuming you mean team-only, not party).

Disabling non-team chat in LD would be like disabling non-party chat when running in the arcade/mission(s). Plus, I feel it would be breaking for guilds. Talking to guild members would just be problematic.

Team BN is.. one other person? Why don't you just /tell them?

@Rogue

That's assuming LD is a relatively social place, like the CW. It isn't. I'd guess you haven't played much LD. Plus, this has the extra (unseen) benefit of making people concentrate more on the team chat, which everyone needs.
Also, it's not all non-team chat, it's just the public 'party' chat.

Also, not all random team BN matches are 2-a-side, and it's difficult to /tell more than one person at a time.

Customizing the chat window in general would be great. Length of window, time before fade, what to display.. Oh how I'd love not having to see material spam ever again.
