Finding people in game can be difficult unless you are lucky enough to pass someone ingame or find them using /who.

 

Introducing Global Chat

 

Step 1: Log into the game

Step 2: Press F6

Step 3: Type "Global" in the space provided

Step 4: Press Join

Step 5: Select the 4th tab on your chat box to display the GLOBAL chat channel.

 

NOTE: I have also opened up a public TeamSpeak 3 server for those who prefer to test the game together over voice: http://forums.hunted...showtopic=58910

 

Enjoy!

I am fairly new to the game. I was unaware that there used to be a World Chat. Hopefully the Devs will implement official chat tabs for Trade and Global eventually.

 

The Global chat channel will only work if everyone spreads the word. Just get in the habit of always joining it, and tell everyone you pass in the game to join it. After awhile it will gain enough traction on its own.

 

Please note that I have also opened up a TeamSpeak 3 server for those who wish to talk over voice and test the game together.

There are long range plans for an official world chat, as well as configurable tabs.  But if I remember correctly (and I'm really not sure) that won't be until after release.

Interesting idea, but F6 on my computer changes the screen brightness. Perhaps you could specify what app/option/functionality you are actually wanting people to use?

AFAIK, that is an Eldevin defined key that is supposed to bring up the 'join chat' window.

 

Make sure the focus is on the main game window, and not a sub-window or border.  If you continue to have an issue, I suggest reporting problems with F6 as a bug.  Platform dependent maybe?  There were several of us in the room yesterday.

We need more people spreading the word about Global chat. Be sure to shout in the map and to people you pass in game.
