A Global/Local chat in the tower is a MUST.
The game will flounder without something like this. A key element of Destiny are it's Strikes and Raids. For games of these types, it is imperative to be able to organize, advertise positions for, and invite people in real time, without having to go to a forum of some kind. Also, a chat will facilitate the social interaction this game is desperately missing. Yes, people will be annoyed having to type with the in-game keypad, but they'll get over it. They'll get used to it. And there's always the option to plug in a wireless/wired keyboard.
I don't understand why Bungie has stuck their head in the mud with this. Maybe they envision their perfect game is so good it doesn't "need" chat, we can all just endlessly dance together! >.>
Warframe has a great example of how they could possibly do the chat. A little inconspicuous menu you can pull up from the side. You can invite people from the chat, you get a group of people who want to play right now, etc.

Also needs a "go to" option . As in your friends are in another server , your fireteam is filled up. But you can't be at the same location/server as your other friends. also is the tower limit 16? And the world maps limited to 16 players only?0-0 is this what they call open world?O_O or am i missing something. if so that's very disappointing. smh

1 ReplyI like the idea of waving to an individual to bring up voice chat with him or her. If the other person waves back, you can now speak to one another through the mic. If one of those players then waves bye, voice chat is ended. That is a very simple way to engage other players quickly while allowing the lone wolves who don't want to hear everybody talking all at once to go about their business. This is an easy fix Bungie. And it would help the social aspect of the game tremendously.

1 ReplyI agree that there needs to be some method of communication. Has there been any word from Bungie in this regard? I assumed there would be tower voice chat in the full release.

2 RepliesEdited by jordychinchin: 7/19/2014 3:30:41 PMThis. A thousand times this. I actually just made a post about this a few minutes ago. A little redundant considering yours is more eloquently written but maybe if Bungie sees enough people post about this in the feedback section it will get their attention. The lack of chat tools in the Alpha had me worried. Nothing seems changed for the Beta and now I'm even more worried. Has Bungie at least acknowledged this as an issue or given a reason as to why they haven't given us text chat? The game's UI seems like it was meant for it anyway. The messages can just fill up the feed in the corner of your screen that says when players are dancing/pointing to other players. For those who don't like obnoxious spammers and trolls, then the chat log should be able to be hidden easy. That probably won't be much of an issue though seeing how Tower lobbies only hold up to 16 players anyway.

3 RepliesI Agree with both of you! We need to be able to hear other players within approximately 30 feet of where you are. that way we can all simply stand together and have a group chat. But we also need to be able to MUTE a character just as well. We also need an Emote to drop our head down and shake "No" in disapproval for all the people jumping off the tower.. :)

1 ReplyI completely agree with you. They need some way to speak with people in the tower. I use my headset when in a fireteam but what if I'm in the tower then what? Or in the "common" area cosmodrome and I see a team of 2 and want to join them I can't type or talk I have to dance to get there attention.
