Approved Remove dead/alive chat visibility restrictions.

[Mordy]

I see this all the time, where people are holding a conversation with someone on the other team, only to have it interrupted because either one of them are dead and the other person is alive. People will often say something immediately after they die, only to have who it was directed at not be able to see it.

People not aware of this will get angry at you and accuse you of ignoring them, when simply, you just didn't see the message because it was blocked. It does more harm than good.

EDIT: This concerns all the Badwater servers.

I didn't realize live persons on the enemy team couldn't see me calling them bitch/cunt/etc after they killed me until just now...

 

[ViperStriker]

+1, not really any real downside to it, maybe use it to call out Spies to your team, that's about it, but spectators can do that too.

 

[Maddo]

I've never noticed this tbh. is it because you go to spec on your team when you die?

 

[Ruelel]

i thought you could talk to people on the other team when dead?

 

[ModSe7en]

Are you talking about any server in particular or just all of them? I haven't had an issue with this before.

This doesn't happen on Valve Maps LA.

 

[ProbeX]

Yeah cause when your dead it says (Dead)Probex57: and then the message.

It's about voice chat then? even then you can still hear people.

It's probably deadtalk off for only some of the servers then?

I'm not sure, but +1 anyway if not.

 

[KewnTunes]

+1 I need to let the nerd who killed me know that he actually sucks at this game and that I'm a lot better than him

 

[Pinker-tan]

if you don't get it it's like this.

say you're playing search & destroy on cod, once you die the alive people cannot hear you but the dead people can

there and yes +1

 

[Blade D_Hero]

Wow, I didn't even realize my witty comments were not being relayed to the losers on the other team.

Ah, well I play on the LA 1/2 Badwater servers. Forgot to specify, I'll edit that in.

You'll notice that when you are alive, you will never ever see (Dead) in your chat from an opposing player. You will when you yourself are dead though.

 

[mittens]

The other thing is it doesn't make sense... when alltalk is on you can literally talk shit to the other team but you can't type anything to them.

 

[Ruelel]

i can type to the other team when alltalk is on
