Even though my post does kind of includes a suggestion it's mainly a question to other users so I didn't post it under suggestions. I have a problem with the whisper mechanic. Well actually I have a few problems: a) using whispers always slows the game down a lot (this is partially because I'm not that familiar using the command) b) the faster I try to write the whispers the bigger the risk of me making a mistake in the command and everybody ends up seeing the message c) in many occations I would be using whispering in a conversation and the conversation "drowns" under all the other chat messages I have found an almost perfect solution. The only problem is that it has nothing to do with Roll20. So far all of my players have had a Steam account and I have used Steam chat instead of whispering in Roll20 chat. Finally the questions: a) Has anyone else had problems with whispering and if yes what kind? b) Should Roll20 have better/faster mechanics for whispering or is it ok that I feel I pretty much have to use something 3rd party "tool" instead? My semi-suggestion would be to include additional chat box for each player under the name tag. Anything written there would automatically be whispered. It would contain whole conversations better and as long as you could close it (just like the normal chat) it wouldn't take any screen space when it's not used. The problem would clearly be that if there are a lot of players then your screen might end up being filled with chat boxes. To Gauss Please don't move this under suggestions. This is meant
to be a thread about how whispering could be improved. I'll be creating a
suggestion later based on the conversation on this thread.
