    Will you add an option in-game to disable chat from appearing like in Battlefield games?
    It gets real annoying sometimes when you have to stare at people arguing.

    Also, I'd want to report a bug that when the icon for tanks, or spawn in general is clicked repeatedly too fast before you can spawn or are spawning, the game can crash. Me and my friend experienced it.

    When Orks come out, could the Orks refer to Arkhona as "Orkhona"?

    I think that would be SUCH a great easter egg for the fans.

    For example, if the Orks control most of the World Map, instead of planet being called "Arkhona" it would be renamed to "Orkhona"

    And places that the Orks have control of would be renamed to Orky names. Like "Blacktoof" instead of "Blackbolt" for example.

    So when I was playing in the test today I was thinking about healers.

    My thoughts went somewhere along the lines of tagging friendlies you want to heal using the spot target key.

    Friendly players would get a notification that you want to heal them if tagged. It would show them who tagged them and where via an indicator.

    What do you think? Too much clutter?

    I don't know if this was ever asked but will the website ever show individual accounts loadouts. Kinda of like how you could search someoje in WoW out and look at their characters. I always enjoy seeing what other people are using for setups and how they do their cosmetic options in games.

    Im not sure is this question been asked, but:
    @Vlordak_The_Mighty Are there plans for HUD customization, like rescaling, repositioning and recoloring?

  6. Will tokens have a more appropriate name depending on the player character's faction? (E.g. Requisition for SM, Favor for CSM, Teef for Orks)

    I ask since the distinctions would pretty much only extend as far as the UI.
  7. i hope they will find 1 term for all races
    so its less confusing for new and nonwh40k fans

    but i guess this is the wrong thread for this

    I play Eternal Crusade on a 16" screen and words like "Health", "Armour", "Toughness", "Primary Weapon", "Grenades", "Consumables" and the likes are so small, they are barely readable in the loadout-screen.
    Please use a font-size that is about 200% the current font-size. (You have many inches of empty, black space to the left of "Health", "Armour" and "Toughness". Use that.)

    Similar goes for the load-out-costs. There's a big orange "890" and tiny grey "LP/1000" on black background. Not good. Why even add that "LP/1000" if the user has to squint to read it?????

    I get, we are all grim-dark here, but the overall composition needs more contrast. Use thicker frames for the boxes that show the images of Bolter, Grenade andsoforth. The color orange is okay, but the frames are far too thin to serve as guides to the eye.

    3.
    The buttons that say "Custom Loadout 1" andsoforth. They are wasting space: They could easily be 10% bigger.

    4.
    The loadout-screen is wasting space on the left side by being asymmetric. Just compare how close the Space Marine is to the right edge of your screen and how far away the displays on the left side are from the left edge of your screen.

    5.
    And am I the only one who has horizontal stripes overlaid over everything in the loadout-screen? It looks like a badly working old cathode-ray-screen. I get it, it's supposed to look old-fashioned and rugged, but this is just additional stress on the eye.




    Use the space the screen offers you more efficiently, use bigger font-size, use bolder frames and people will finally be able to use your loadout-screen without squinting.

    Can you make characters a little harder to delete? I fell asleep while playing the game really late one night, with my controller no less, and deleted my character. I now do not sleep with my electronics. Lol
    Can it be easily made to have the character name be entered before it is deleted?

    Right now, the chat has gotten worse. Originally, when I go from a downed state to the death screen to the map screen while I was typing a message, I would have to re-click the chat and type the message again. It was annoying, but I could finish my message. Now I cannot even finish my message when that happens. It goes away and it makes it so hard to talk with my team.

    Not to mention that I also cannot type on the map screen, where most of the tactical information is found.
