Console Endgame Chat?
Is there any reason in particular why endgame chat isn't on consoles? The most obvious reason is that it would reduce bad exchanges post game but it's still on pc.
I'd love to have it so I can just easily say gg or thank them for something in particular or ask something. Like for example in two matches today, first one it was last gen 3 gen, 2 survivors in lerys and I could not find these 2 at all even as wraith, I'd damage a gen, look everywhere (2 spine chills btw) and find noone but someone had to have been there to work on the gen so I really wanted to know how I always missed them lol. And then another game where 3 peoplw let themself die to EGC.

I was confused about this myself always. Even if someone would trash talk in end game chat,would it really make any difference than someone sending a msg to you over ps4 normally? Don't think so. Adding an end game chat would probably help people more,than add more negativity considering people can just do that over ps4 normally anyway with msgs.

Exactly, and it's not like you're forced to even interact with the endgame chat, you can just ignore it completely by clicking leave. I would love for this to be addressed by a dev or someone who knows why.
Hopefully they add it along with crossplay when conole can play with pc but I don't understand why it was held off on for so long

Probably will add it with crossplay as you said it urself,no reason not to.

Most likely gonna come with crossplay

Hopefully but I'd still like to know why it hasn't been added yet, I'm not mad because with everything else except ptb's we're on par with pc (update and feature wise I mean), it's just a bit disappointing

Writing message with a controller.

"Okay, message is ready."

You can turn off messages, you can't turn off end game chat.
I have messages off so I don't have to see the negativity that is so common because people are sore winners/losers. I hope it doesn't come to consoles because I don't want those people to get a free easy work around to be jerks. If the Devs decide to add it with cross play I hope they give an option to disable it so I can continue to avoid the toxicity.

This is true but but you can do the same on pc and it's still incorporated
And it's VERY easy to ignore egc and leave after the match as well, people can message you privately if after you leave the match but they cant annoy you afterwards with egc and you're not forced to see it. Your preference is completely valid but I do think that the convenience and positivity that would come out of it trumps the harm it could bring because it is so easily avoidable

I've seen posts in Facebook groups of PC players wishing they could disable the endgame chat - there's quite alot that are not happy that it's incorporated when they have messages turned off. If you go to look at the final results the end game chat is right there, to truly avoid seeing it would be to immediately leave without going to final results. Myself and others that feel the same shouldn't have to either quit and not see final scoreboard or put effort into ignoring it. When I'm on PC for PTB there is more toxicity than positivity and it's not even real matches. There's plenty of posts here and on social media showing the nonstop toxicity that is found in end game chats - proof it's more negative than positive. I'd rather miss a GG than see someone trashing myself or others because they are sore winners/losers since it'd be convenient.

You can turn of end game chat,what are you on about? And if you actually get "Touched" by people's msgs over the internet,then I dunno. Why the ######### would you care about some random ass no one telling you something and insulting you over a game or the way you play it?
Referring to endgame chat here obviously. You should just shrug it off,and not care about it.

I tried to look into this and all I could find was that you can hide it but not permanently disable it which if this is the case then yes @bm33 does have a fair and valid point and I feel like above else this should be incorporated alongside a crossplatform egc. @Loner brings up a good point with don't let it bother you but if you're after having a terrible game and maybe your frustrated, maybe they bm'd you, then it becomes significantly more difficult to just not let it bother you at all especially if you do actively try to avoid it but still have to hide it every time.
Even if the chat was hidden by default and you had to unhide it to participate would be a better way to go around it but the more I talk about the topic the sadder it becomes that toxicity is always the number one issue with any potentially positive communication method in this game :(

If I disable it,it stays disabled till I enable it again. You press the chat icon in the bottom,and then the chat is hidden till you open it again. It transfers into the new game even,so yeah. You can permanently disable it,unless this was changed some time ago. I just don't see why are people touched over something some stranger says on the internet? Will never get to me. Why do people get frustrated after having a terrible game,will never get to me. Why do you care if someone bms you? Will never get to me. It's all just a game,after all.

Seen complaints on Facebook from people saying you can't turn off end game chat. It's not on console so not something I currently need to worry about and I don't want to in the future. Like I said if I can disable it that's fine but I don't want someone having the ability to take their issues out on me.
This weird thing of I'm human and sometimes use games as way to get away from real life. Sometimes when people say things meant to be hurtful, while you can brush it off most days other days for whatever reason you can't. Sometimes "shrugging it off and not caring" is alot easier said then done.

As I said I've seen people on Facebook complain about not being able to disable the chat.

I'm sorry if you take it as i'm being rude,but it's how I am as a person. Don't care about what others say,irl or online. Will always say my point straight to someone,and will never care what they think if i think it's right/correct. I guess not everyone can just not care like I do,after all everyone is different. But I promise you,I was able to turn off chat and then it even transferred into my other games that i played unless they changed it some time ago.

It is definitely unfortunate that the toxicity in this game is so bad that it ruins possibility for positivity. Honestly if I thought people would use it to be good sports I'd be fine with it. But rarely do I see messages of positivity. Even when someone just says GG after a match if they won they get someone thinking they're rubbing in a win and flips out on them or if they lost they'll get someone trashing them. It's just really bad. Everytime I see those end game chats it makes me happy we don't have it on console.

Most days I don't care - I've had people several times use loophole of sending friend requests so they can attach a message and I just laugh it off because of the extra little bit of effort they put in, maybe report them if they used a slur. I know if I'm having a real ######### day though it'd just annoy me that someone is taking their craptacular attitude out on me when I'm trying to relax and I'll just end out in a worse mood. Because of those bad days is why I'd want to be able to turn off chat if it was on console. If chat can be turned off that is great and I am more open to it. With how many don't know it can be turned off they should probably make that feature easier to access - could even help with some of the toxicity that turns people away.

I honestly would see why small amount of people know about it,considering it's never shown nor noted anywhere. You just have to press on the chat icon,and it closes the chat. Just so you know for future references. And I guess i see what you mean,aswell.
