Anyone Else Want Guild/Fireteam/Area Chat?
I'm sure Bungie knows what they're doing - I just haven't seen much community discussion about the option for different chat channels. I for one would love the ability to switch between an open "Guild/Clan" channel, a direct 'fireteam/group' channel - and the 'local area' channel (for public events/PvP etc).
After looking at the [url=http://i.imgur.com/rKqaeOE.jpg]controller scheme[/url] for a while, this idea dawned on me.
The way it'd work, is instead of having your 'emotes' on all buttons of the D-Pad, they were moved to a single button (say left) which brings up a mini-menu of the available emotes (selected as they are in the linked controller scheme).
[i](More detail: "Left" brings up menu, which displays all available emotes relative to their D-Pad button; akin to how to the controller scheme shows them currently)[/i]
That enables the D-Pad to be used for a number (3, to be exact) of other functions (I wonder how the Ghost was 'called' - and also how the weapon was lowered/raised)
"Down" could be weapon lowering/raising; "Up" could call the Ghost - and "Right" could switch between the different "Chat Channels".
I'm not sure if you, dear reader, have used TeamSpeak/Vent/Mumble etc in a guild before - but it's often a great place full of people bantering away, organizing raids/PvP, or just chatting about their favorite TV show (Firefly FTW)
I know Bungie will [url=http://youtu.be/ryhU1Oe1lv4?t=5m15s]look after us[/url], but just figured I'd share my thoughts with anyone interesting in reading them
[i]Quick clarifications:[/i]
- By "area" chat, I mean 'public event/team' etc
- My entire idea focuses around using [i]voice[/i] chat, [u]not[/u] text/typing

Fireteam chat: used primarily during co-op missions with your buddies Guild/Clan chat: used to help you locate clanmates to form fireteams for missions, meet up to form teams for faction wars, etc. Area chat: used exclusively public spaces to casually chat with anyone, (maybe trade goods, perhaps?), clan recruitment, so on and so forth Switching between these has to be easy, and I think your D-pad layout meets that requirement. I think that area chat should only be an option in public spaces. We won't be encountering anyone aside from our fireteam outside of these spaces, so such a chat option should be limited to public areas. Fireteam and Clan chats should obviously be available all the time. Also, in my opinion, we should be forced into public chat whenever we choose to participate in a public event. It'll likely be necessary to communicate with fellow players during these events, and I personally don't want to be trying to coordinate a strategic attack on a legion of Cabal while another fireteam chooses to keep chatting away in their fireteam chat. Another thing to consider is the type of chat we'll be using during competitive PvP. I'm thinking we'll be thrust into a "Team" chat just like we are for any standard online competitive multiplayer game nowadays. You wouldn't be able to toggle chats during competitive multiplayer. Thanks OP for the great thread. You've always got a lot of good input to offer these forums. Always look forward to reading your posts.
