I actually feel the exact opposite about the chat issues, and my experience of the chat seems to be different than yours. I play 99% turn-based. When I'm not in the game and someone chats, it shows up wherever I am on the site. So I do not have to go into the game to see it. But, if I respond outside of the game, it never shows up on the game itself, so I don't think people are seeing that if they are on the game. So I no longer respond to chats outside of the game, to make sure they are showing up with the game.Lotus Blossom wrote: Exactly how I feel about it all, and my experience of chat too. Also, particularly in turn based games, the chat function is awful. You have to go into a game to see the chat, which you wouldn't do if they had the last move and then said gg or whatever. I would like all conversations to be accessible in one place, with links to the actual game for context. I'm sure I must have missed many a comment
I'd rather have the chat connected to the game, not outside it. Those just seem to get lost, and I also might not realize who is even talking. The name of the game and ID number is on it, but that ID means nothing to me, so if I'm playing more than one of that game, I might not even know who is talking to me. And as a general rule, if we're talking about the game at all, I need to be able to see it, so having the chat somewhere else doesn't do me any good.
In the end, what they need is for the chat to be consistent, which it is not. (There was a time it worked better. I no longer remember how it used to work, but I do remember I didn't like the changes.)
