Master Thread of In Game Chat Improvements
Over the course of this Forum’s Existance there have been many requests made regarding improving the In Game Chat Feature.
This Thread is aimed at getting them all together in one spot to decrease the duplicate threads being created.
Emoji’s
Current thread showing the existing “Emoji” : In-Game Emoji code list
Request thread to allow/ enable normal Emoji Keyboard:
Okay, you know the platform where the client of the game is running, all supported platforms are supporting emojis, but for some reason, E&P is still using :weird: format from '80 back in the 20th century… I know, Android and iOS don’t have them 100% compatible, that’s why you have client app for a specific platform… Convert in the client emoji to your :weird: format if you want to…

Copy & Paste Function
I’m one of the people keeping stats for our alliance. Allies power, Enemies power, Attack power, Defense power etc etc etc.
So it becomes extremely time-consuming and not fun at all not having the ability to select and copy text from the game. E.g. copy all the names of our allies or enemies and paste them in a text message/email.
Or copy the characteristics of a single hero and paste them in the game chat or another app.
Or copy the description of another alliance and translate it.
And of c…
Formatting / Line Breaks (Multiple Lines)
It would be really nice to have the option to use the enter function so you will not get a wall off text in the featured message.
I tried using double ‘space’ but this doesn’t work either.
If somebody has another way to make it more clear and readable I am open to suggestions.
We use it normally to update for titan, war, general info (i.e. there is an update).
For us it would be great if this could be added.
@zephyr1 thnx for making more clear in the tittle what I wanted to express
Expand Box when Typing (Remove need to scroll backwards)
Every time I want to type a long text, I have to roll back hundreds of words just to verify if what I said is correct or not.
PLUS I can’t see the whole text, if I make any sense in what I am saying or if I am repeating a word in a phrase
Please improve the text showing in the chat as you type. It is annoying to type anything in my alliance.
Increase/ remove restriction on Character LImit
Hi there
I would really like to make a cool loking add for our alliance, which I could send in the rekru chat from time to time. Sadly there arent enough caracters to display it. I bet this would be very easy to change I have some knowledge from things like this. Plus why spaces cant be displayed, that would also help alot. I would like to display something like this:
______________
,===:'., `-._
`:.`---.__ `-._
`:. `--. `.

Start Reading at Last Message Read
Hi there,
First of all, thanks for the great game!
I’d like to suggest a feature for the chat though. Everytime I log in, I see the count of messages that were posted in the alliance’s chat but I have to manually scroll them to pick up where I left off.
It’d be super cool to have the chat show me the first unread message with a visual limit and a button to scroll down to last message if I’m not interested in unread messages.
I use Slack on an everyday basis and they got it right so that can…
Ping / “@” / Mention an Alliance Member
Hi,
it would be very nice, if there was a “@” Function in the Chat.
Maybe, by clicking on a name of someone in the chat, it enters @playername before the message.
It would be much easier for the communication in Alliance and Global chat.
Make Chat Available While Farming
Hey everyone!
There may be a similar topic to this, but I think it would be neato if we could access chat while we are farming map levels. Just a though
Chat Tutorial
I hoping if we generate enough chat on this that SG might help. We end up booting so many newbies because we can’t get them to discover chat and chime in. We love helping newbies but if you can reach them before they reach level 12 and join wars they’ve got to go. I can’t imagine all the alliances they get booted from because they don’t chat, SG has such great tutorials when you begin the game. I’m hoping they will add something about chat when the newbie gets to the level where they can join an…
Pop-Up Alliance Feature Message
Original Suggestion (this part is implemented!)
The pinned message is a fabulous addition to the game but it is disappointingly “unobvious” I would like it to stand out more from normal chat please. Simply giving it a different colour background would be enough, or make the text larger
Edit: really quick response from SG on this one! Thank you
Still Suggested & Unimplemented
It would also be far more effective/useful if members could see it without opening the ch…
Change Default Chat from GC to Alliance Recruitment
One of the main arguments alliance recruiters make about recruiting in the general chat room is that most new players dont know about the alliance recruitment chat room. Would it be possible to change the default chatroom to alliance recruitment? I believe this would cut down heavily on general chat recruitment as all players would start in that room.
I welcome any feedback or if more information is needed.

Global Chat Improvements/ Changes
+ More Chat Rooms
Various Language Requests
I think it would be a great idea to have recruiting tabs in the global chat. Split into trophy groups.
0-500 trophies
500-1500 trophies
1500-above trophies
Having 3 or 4 group would definitely spread the advertising out and Slow the channels down. Everyone would be able to narrow the search down and actually accomplish the goal of recruiting a new member.
Like anyone is gonna follow them rules with the others in global chat!
Haha!
Make some improvements to the chat already!!! How hard can it be? Chat has been around forever…

Chat improvements are pretty intuitive. Think about any Chat, anywhere you use it. Think about text messaging, etc… Just a few samples:
give us a bigger review area than the 15 character viewing section
allow us to go back and edit comments
attached the emoji keyboard to the chat abilities
allow the badge counter to disappear if we just expand the the white chat bubble
allow direct messaging

I would be great if iOS users could do line breaks in the alliance banner and chats. Something like adding // after a word would trigger a line break.

Moderator Translation - Guvnor
Hello, I would like to ask for the implementation of a private chat, since players who do not speak the same language enter the various alliances, it could be an idea to talk to them privately …
Sometimes nn you can communicate properly, especially x attacks in wars …
Thanks and good morning
Original text
Buongiorno, vorrei chiedere l’implementazione di una chat privata, poiche’ nelle varie alleanze entrano giocatori che non parlano la stessa lingua, potrebbe essere un’idea x parlare con costoro privatamente…
A volte nn si riesce a comunicare in modo adeguato, soprattutto x gli attacchi nelle guerre…
Grazie e buongiorno
The game need, friends ndship chat, and Allianz to Allianz for team playing and helping by titans

Hi, I suggest that players can create bundles of iron or food in sizes of tiny, medium or large. This they can use when needed.
This will help if a player generates more food or iron that they can use up now, instead of wasting it make bundles of it similar to the ones received as rewards in Path of Valor.
No one looses or wastes what they generate.
Chat needs more features,
For eg;
Be able to react and respond to individual messages,
similar to facebook comment section.
Be able to message players individually.
Include emojis.

I agree with what you are saying, but players have been asking for this type of comms improvement for as long as I can remember.
I doubt very much that it will come soon.
Your best bet is to set up a Facebook group, Line or Discord.
Whatever you choose to do good luck
GC have different rooms (General, Peer Support, Recruitment, Xp, Off-topic)
It could be possible to create a different room inside the ally chat? So, leaders can choose who can view each room (like 1 room for all members, other for elder+ or Co-leader+). Maybe this way we can filter messages and keep the most importants safe.

We do it frequently in Line app. Not sure how that would work in game (maybe another chat channel?), but that might be exciting!
Some thoughts: how would this work? Is it always “on”? Or must both alliances press a button to “accept”?

Some alliances you might want the abillty to mute it.
