If I can communicate via in-game chat window and discord I have everything I could ever need. I can't think of anything that would make me want to try chat bobbles.

I mean this is an open world game where non-combat players and combat players can be overlapping. So there is not much control over what other players are saying while you are engaged in combat. If I had to guess you mean in more end game content and I do agree that the issue SHOULD become lesser the higher level you are just because of the nature of the content you are participating in.

However Ashes is using a system to talk to each other with overhead text chat boxes. Do you think this will be something that the players will encourage using or discourage using. I mean if you are in a fight and having trouble seeing info from text boxes this can be a loss, but is just disabling something meant to make it easier on players to talk without poxy chat better? Love to know your answers!

Ashes doesn't have an endgame. You wrote: "If you are in a fight and having trouble seeing info from text boxes this can be a loss." And I am trying to understand why I would be trying to see info from a speech bubble while I am fighting. Or why it would be a problem if I couldn't see speech bubbles. I can't think of any circumstances where I would be in a fight and trying to type info to other people or trying to read speech bubbles. There could be some flavor RP going on, I suppose, but any meaningful info would be shared via Discord voice chat. During a fight, that is true for non-combatants as well as combatants. The nature of content we participate in will be the same through all levels - by design. So...what I'm asking for is a more concrete scenario, rather than a very vague abstraction. Under what circumstances would I be fighting and need to see info in a speech bubble?

If am not interested in them, I don't use them. I have skipped every cutscene in FFXIV and never once read a quest dialog in that game for example. The first thing I do when I log on to a MMO is completely rebind every key and disable any help. Then I mute all the music and put sound effects at like 10%. Disable cutscenes if that is an option. After that, I go find a DPS meter, and reconfigure the UI because DEVs still don't know what a useful UI is. I play these games to crack skulls with my friends and make new friends while cracking skulls. I am not interested in any of the extra bells or whistles. Struggling with a group in a persistent challenging environment is the draw of these games for me. I don't feel bad at all about disabling anything that gets in my way of cracking skulls.

I'm not sure that helped. Is that like the giant "global texts" Steven sends out to give directions for sieges and boss fights?https://youtu.be/gI5yPLhDQYc?t=541
