This is an actual question: is PC in game text chat highly desirable?

I'm trying to imagine an instance of where that'd be helpful on the PS4. And I'm coming up empty handed besides "I could yell at random people in the Tower."

Is this more of a long cultural need for it? Versus actual utility? Wouldn't PC people have even more external options to talk to clan mates or connect with potential LFGers?

Not having clan chat in the game from launch (and I guess until May or whatever lol) is really really dumb. They already put a chat box in the game it just does nothing other than whispers and opt-in fireteam chat. I don't think anybody wanted tower chat and I have nfi why bungie prioritised that.

Oh okay, so like clan chat, so you can mass ping your friends. Not like a public chat function. Got it.

I was sort of imagining text chat mid crucru or random Tower people yelling at you.

the way of finding other LFGers for raids on PC is pretty bad and isn't really conducive to doing so quickly

you need to jump through a bunch of hoops on the bungie fireteam site, or be paying close attention to whatever discord you're hanging on

Yeah its like instead of just asking in an in-game clan chat if anybody wants to run a nightfall or whatever and inviting people through that you open up discord, ask in a bunch of channels or wait until someone else asks, add each other to your friends list through the battle.net launcher, go back to the game and then the invites go out.

I know consoleros grew up shouting obscenities at each other in CoD etc., so I guess that's why they're ridiculously afraid of the racism and yelling at random people in the Tower or whatever, but this is really not hard:

Public (text) chat lets you ask for or offer help in zones eg. with public events or with quests/patrols/whatever if a player is new, and you get to form groups for content without the help of matchmaking and more importantly: without having to use third party resources the other players may or may not be using.

Alone, she fights.
Warframe has clan chat and also has alliances, where you can have multiple clans together in one big channel. Imagine if Destiny 2 had launched with both of those features, and all of the goon clans could've joined an alliance to put parties together instead of being in sixteen discords.

Global channels are the worst, though. Zone chat would be nice to tell people how heroics work, but giant channels inevitably end up dumpster fires.

That’s the facts right there. One of their many and biggest gently caress ups they made was the communication framework they didn’t put in.

Destiny 3 will just be one big lootbox you have to pay for to play. Twenty dollars and this time you got a raid, a strike and a level four hunter! Hooray!

I would, actually, just play a destiny mobile game instead.

In D3, all missions will require specific tokens that you can only acquire from lootboxes. The first several story missions and a couple of adventures will be common enough that most players will get them in the game's initial wave of free currency and lootboxes, but there'll be a couple of mainline story missions at the midpoint and endgame that are rare enough that you'll have to spend on average at least $500 to acquire them.

it’s only showing you a sample of what you can possibly get. engram contents are actually determined on pickup, not on decryption.
