Dumbest Question in the world: How do you chat?

SystemSystem Member, NoReporting Posts: 178,019 Arc User
First day playing, and so far I love this game. Problem is that I can't seem to be able to interact with anyone. I hit enter to activate the chat box, but I can't type anything in. I'm sure I missed a step but I can't figure out what the hell it is.

Can someone help?

    You cannot be Chat.


    Ahem... That should be enough.
    Nothing coming up in the chat box when you type? Press down harder on the buttons? :p

    Trying clicking in the chat box with your mouse, then try to type.

    Connect the keyboard to the PC :p

    It's probably a bug. On one of my characters the number hotkeys simply wouldn't fire specials. I checked key setting and everything, didn't work. restarted a new character and then it worked from the get go. But no matter what I did I could not get it to work on the first character. Had to make a new character to get it to work.

    First, use your transwarp to go to Sol then see if you can chat. (I had a similar issue and that fixed it.)

    If that doesn't work, log out and reboot your PC. That may fix whatever is wrong. It has worked for me a few times when nothing else seemed to.

    If both of those fail, submit a ticket. :(

    Hope this helps! :)

    Not a dumb question at all, or you could say the question not asked is the dumb one. ;)

    But hitting the enter key(carriage return) should give you chat access. You can also click in the chat box with the mouse, where the text would go, and it should bring up a cursor. It's possible that maybe your keyboard isn't cool with the game if enter isn't working for you, you did everything right it sounds like.

    It is impossible for a question to be dumb. However, it is possible for the person asking it to appear that way.

    Also, if you are on the very first tutorial mission, I believe that chat is disabled, although I cannot remember.

    I did the transwarp back to SOL and it worked for a bit. It also worked when I was telling my team I was headed for Brea. It seems to come and go. Should I submit a ticket for this?
