It’s weird watching people talk to themselves in text chat when their friend is talking over voice (voice chat in game is local)
Was about to post a similar suggestion, I really think there should either be a local text chat channel, or if it’s easier a text channel for each loading area/building. For example Bowling Alley, Laser Tag Arena, Casino, Arcade, Nightclub, Theater, and Plaza all would have local channels as well as the global chat they currently already have.
It’s often confusing when there’s multiple text chats going on at once, especially when they’re responding to people that are using voice chat near them.

I’m honestly surprised this wasn’t implemented yet. I’d very much would like this as someone who uses text chat exclusively.

I dunno, doesn’t feel that weird to me, but I think I understand what you mean.
It’d be also great if:
-
A setting to pick which chat to default into. (Global, Local, System)
-
A friends chat to keep it a bit more personal.
It’d be weird for other friends to see it though due to out of context it can be lol
Unless Local Friends is thing. Lol

Regarding friends chat in particular, I think that this is a great thing for any game to have. Yeah, we do have Steam chat, but that shouldn’t replace an in-game functionality, at least to me, so thanks for suggesting that.
