Enter to talk :( UOWoW?

Tukaram · 26th March 2007, 06:54 AM

Guild Wars is about the only game I play anymore. I do ALL my communicating on Vent. I have never liked the enter to talk so I just don't use it. It is a clumsy talk interface.

Actually I have been messing around with Scions of Fate lately (free download, free play) and I use Vent only there as well.

Me too but I can adjust.

What pisses me off is that everytime someone points out the obvious connections between WoW and UO/upcoming UO, somebody jumps in with "omg wow isn't the only game with that, wow didn't invent that". Who cares? It's still in WoW, and UO is *clearly* becoming more and more WoWish.

Me: UO is becoming more like WoW.

Other person: Uh, no, WoW didn't invent the UI or gameplay, lots of other games have it.

Me: Okay, so how does that change the fact that UO is becoming more like WoW, or in your case, "lots of other games"?

The side by side comparision is startling! However the same can be said that WoW is becoming more like UO...
Just recently WoW has implemented an "Armory" addition to their web page, much like UO has always had on theirs. The Armory is like the Charecter Search on UO.Com. A user can type in a character's name in order to obtain their information, such as skills and stats.
The two know they're competing against each other, and are making changes in order to remain competitive. It's all business politics and smart move.
I hate having to hit the enter key when talking in WoW, but there are 3rd party programs out there that help out with that. Much like UO assist.

I don't think I understand what you mean about talking. Could someone please explain further. Only game I play is UO so I'm not familar with what you are all talking about. Fill me in pls

Right now in uo you just type the message to chat then hit enter to say it. Now you have to bring up the chat window by hitting enter first, then type message and then hit enter again to say the message.

Long story short.....just have to hit one more buttom to chat.

Pressing enter to open a chat bar is not even difficult, and becomes second nature after awhile.

Thats assuming we have a first nature

Everyone has a first nature, whether its greed, love, cowardice, bravery or some other misconstrued concept, eveyone has one.

I'm just used to it from Diablo. Also, I hate having to hit enter to get rid of all the 111313331111asqqqqea``12a`12`a or backspace it all out of the way when I have any macro set that doesn't include ctrl or alt.
