NPCs Dont talk to you anymore?

[Zep]

Used to be you could saunter up to any ol NPC and click on them and they would have something to say -usually based on the first letter of their name, clicking someone who's name starts with 'T' and they would tell you the time etc.

 

Will this be coming back? There were at least 26 comments and I recall speaking with one of the Dev's at a Meet-N-Greet, she was very nice and friendly and cackling madly about all the Easter Eggs she would slip into NPC dialog throughout the game. 

 

We even emailed a few times about it.

I was actually just thinking about this the other day:

Haven't tested lately, but it's not ALL letters, but maybe it should be. I bet we could come up with cool stuff for each letter!

I LOVE the random remarks from the NPCs, like "Did you hear that Healix brought down the Council recruiters?" or "We need more heroes like Healix!"

I was talking to them for the time just yesterday! It's odd if it's not working now, something we can look into.

It has yet to work for me since playing again.

NPC talk can be epic...

[NPC] Faultline: Get it? Sue like litigation versus Tsoo the gang? No? Oh nevermind, no one appreciates an artiste.

Zep, you haven’t removed the Local tab from your chat tab(s) have you?

[Healix]

I think there is also an 'NPC talk/chat' that you can add to the tab, like the 'show cutscenes' one.

No, I havnt. I see the random comments NPCs voluntarily make as you move about the city, I am talking about the ones where you used to be able to walk up and click on any ol civilian and they would say something.

Last week it worked for me, I clicked on several NPC's and got their chatter based on their names.  "You've gone on patrol x times" and "You've played x hours" in addition to the various flavor text others give.  I think it's the "m" names that give the hours played message?  I admit I don't remember what each is supposed to say.

[_NOPE_]

I linked them above. Only certain names at this time. I think we should change it so that every letter day something different.

I got some NPCs to chat with me today at Kalisti Warf.

[Zep]

Now that NPCs are willing to talk (to me) again, I cant tell what they are saying because the chat bubble is too small and the text is not going into the NPC dialog chat window.

 

Can we find a way to increase chat bubble size for 4k users? A control would be awesome.
