Text Chat Proximity

  • At what point does the text chat window become visible to players around you? Does my text chat display to everyone in the world (server) or is there some proximity to it?

    Thanks!

  • Only people near you see it. Seems to be the same proximity as the voice chat.

  • A general rule, if you can see the person on the ship/island/water they will see the chat window or hear your prox voice chat.

  • The only exceptions to the above replies are your own crew, who will see/hear you always

  • It's also worth noting that holding a speaking trumpet increases the text chat's range.

    So just hold it n type?

  • @donklol Yup! No need to lift it up to your mouth, though. Unlike voice chat.
