in MPQ General Discussion

In R279 releasing today (6/5), We made a change in the back end for our in-game chat system. This change has no outward differences in functionality (for now), but it is not backward compatible with the system in R278.

So if you're hopping back and forth between versions for whatever reason, you may see messages appear or disappear that were written in the older version of the game. This will naturally go away once R279 is a required update. Just wanted to give a heads up so you aren't confused if you see that happen.

    Will it finally have a better sync?

    That's one of the targeted advantages, yes.

    Does this affect the D3go support chat?

    Nope, that uses Helpshift, completely different system. Good question though!

    there's an in-game chat system? Or do you mean the alliance chat?

    Alliance chat.
    For trash talk, keep using LINE.

    Huh, not that our Alliance chat is very active but if it will make it better I am all for it. :)

    Updated and now I can't even see the alliance chat (it says no history like I just joined the alliance and no one spoke yet). And my own message just disappeared.

    I have a message - "Signal lost - We can't contact this Alliance. Please try again later."

    Oh no wait...the chat is back. Maybe that was a different signal lost thing then.

    Mine now looks just like that pic that was posted earlier despite me being able to read all the messages that were there earlier in the day. Not that big of a deal since all our alliance communication is on Line anyway just weird that it shows that now all of a sudden for me despite me already downloading the update way prior to this.

    Well it might fix itself by tomorrow?

    It’s back now for me. Just weird that it was there after I installed the update, then disappeared, then back again.
