Default Post Match Banter

Does anyone else miss being able to use the text chat as soon as a round/match has finished?

Currently when a round/match ends in RO2, the progression screen and score comes up and blocks all text chat for quite a bit, usually only allowing 5 seconds or so of chat time after a round has finished.

In fact one of the first things I noticed bout RO2 was how much less social the chat seemed compared to RO:OST.

In ROOST there was always quite a bit of chatter at the end of a match, but in RO2 there's hardly any unless there's a bunch of people on mics.

I think after a particularly epic match it's nice to be able to say a few words before either leaving or the next match starts.

Even just a few "GG"s and "well played"s "cya"s adds to the camaraderie of the game I think.

Either way I think being able to text chat throughout the post game period would at least be more entertaining than blankly staring at the progression screen.

Its one of the things I missed when ro2 came out, but considering how frustrating the maps are in ro2 maybe its for the best!

I always enjoyed the congrats back and forth especially if the round went right down to the wire with equally balanced teams. This would be nice to have back for those not mic'd

Post match, the round won screen, team/class selection, in all these screens the text is hidden. Which is awfully silly. I think you should always be able to see what is being said at all times.

I usually find the voice chat is enough. That could be because i like hearing my own voice but thats my ego for you.

But i do like to make an effort to congratulate the enemy team if it was a good match.
