No Chat

[Tangent]

After learning the day before yesterday that the little plus sign in the chat window was the chat filter on/off button and being absolutey overjoyed about being able to type regularly, I log in last night only to find that I couldn't engage the chat window at all. I couldn't input any type, I could only use the preloaded emotes and chats under the shull in the chat window. I could do any of those in all three chats local, crew, and guild.

I logged out and bank in with no change. I restared my machine and logged back in with no change.

Anyone ever have this happen to them?



Thanks,

Tangent

The only time Ive had it is when my Keyboard glitches up. However since you were able to type this I dont think that was ur case. Sorry cant help more.

The same thing happened to me a week or so ago. The quickest way to drive me crazy is to not let me talk!

Fortunately, my issue was resolved by logging off then back on again.

I have had it happen to me while playing.. the chat window stops coming up (at least it did for me). I was fortunate in that logging out, exiting the program, restarting it resolved the issue. If it continues I would recommend contacting the live chat support on the official site (any phone calls will likely direct you there anyhow).

Best of luck! Hope they can get ya fixed up quickly.

Have you tried to add the plus back in to see if maybe your account has parental controls on it?

There doesn't seem to be a way to get the plus sign back from in-game.


Well, after further investigation it looks to me like I have activated the parental controls and for some reason I can't deactivate them. I was on the DxD site yesterday and I wasn't paying attention to where I was clicking. I had a "confirmation" e-mail at home last night saying I had requested speedchat plus.

OMG, I am the dumbest pirate! Arrrrr!

Anyway, thanks to everyone for pitching in. I'll post again after I get it all resolved in case it can help anyone else.

I could never get a re-log to clear my problem. And all ths started after I made my channel on the Disney xD site. It had something to do with the parental controls.

I've just gotten off the phone with Ricky at Customer Support. After confirming all the necessary information and doing some checking on his end, Ricky tells that he has fixed my problem.

I asked him if he could log into the game from where he was. He could and did. He says everything with the chat appears normal on my pirate. I can't confirm this until I get home this evening but when I do I'll make another post.

Thanks for the input everyone!

Yes, there is a glitch in the chat system, that some people cant use it for some reason, relogging usually fixes it. However if you set your account accordingly on DxD, it can also prohibit you. Perhaps thats where part of the glitch is tied. It decides to implement controls on us suddenly that we didnt request, hehe.

I have had problems with others not seeing my chat too. . . a couple time a low level player has asked me for help and when I tried to reply (repeatedly) they never saw my answer "sure what do you need" so they teleported away. . . I hate that, makes me feel like a . . . . . well, you know . . . how do I fix a problem like that it has happened with the plus on and with it off. do I need to contact support?

I have had my chat glitch like this before, usually after someone used their staff or fireballs on the high seas. I was able to at least whisper to someone so they could tell the others I was having chat issues. Relogging usually fixed it, but it's still a hassle to have to crew up again.

Try the whisper when that happens, if nothing else, to let them know you're having issues and that you'll either brb or have to whisper everything.

Is there a way to get that annoying plus to stay off? It comes on and off randomly for me. I think when I click the chat box to type in it turns on and off every other time.

Im sure my mommy doesnt mine me not having parent controls, especially since I havent lived at home in more than 28 years.

I have a guildmate that hasn't been able to chat in two weeks. We have to be near him and type in live so the bubble pops over our head.

We've perfected pirate sign-language.

I tried the whisper just now and the person I was speaking to seemed not to be getting the message, either that or he just wasn't "getting the message" LOL He wanted to join my guild, which really isn't a guild, just a name I gave myself. . . . . and I was trying to politely tell him that. . . . maybe he just wasn't taking no for an answer, dunno.


It is frustrating. I never know if what I say is getting through, funny thing even when I see the bubble, sometimes it seems like nobody else can! They really should fix this.
