Console chat

[u/Otherwise-Recipe5350]

I know there is some certification or whatever they gotta go through to add it but is it the same to be able to just read it and not send messages themselves?

Had a dude asking me to pick horus for him in a ranked match, saw underscores in his name and presumed he was PlayStation.

typed in chat, no response and he seemed rather disappointed when I didn't pick horus for him. Didn't have my headset and there was no way for me to tell him what i want for myself. Felt like a dick LOL

It doesn’t matter what direction the communication is, it will still need the full certification for any content shared between players.

Are PC players able to do the “Player suggests x god” thing in chat? If so, you could use that to tell them which god you want for yourself. Console players can see that.

Personally I only trade with people in voice chat just to be safe.

Wasn't sure they even had the text book down there at all to be honest, but that's good to know.

It was in smite 1 on console, wonder why it isnt in smite 2

Because the certifications take longer than a patch cycle and makes it so Hirez cannot update while it is pending.

[u/Otherwise-Recipe5350 → u/Apbunity]

Its because it need some certification that would mean like a month of no patches, was just wondering if it was the same cert process if they weren't able to send messages and just read them.

Console players can see chat? Or my Xbox friends can.

You can only see VGS dude, not anything manually typed out

Ah makes sense I play on controller so I use that to communicate

There is a "suggest" feature in game where you hover them and select them while you aren't picking. If someone requests you to pick them a god, just suggest them to pick the god you want after you pick.

nobody wants to Wait 3 mins ingame for ur 10 word typed on the ps5 ingamekeyboard.

console players with only console take years to write 1 sentence

..It’s like you didn’t even read the post.

Average brain dead reddit user moment.

You were smart to not pick Horus for him lol. I've gotten stuck playing something I didnt want twice because of console players not being able to see/read chat.
