Previously, if you hit the "/" key to type a message while holding down any of the walking keys (WASD, front/back arrow) you could be able to formulate what you wanted to say while walking in any given direction.
I lead a war group, and I often have to give orders to people while moving to a crucial area. This ability was a boon so I could multitask communicating and moving without stopping all movement, and without being a sitting duck for enemies.
It's really annoying now, since I think of all the lost efficiency when I have to stop in front of a long passage to type out a message when I could be doing both at once, saving minutes of walking that could be done in correlation.
Can you change this back, guys? Don't fix what isn't broken, please.
TL;DR - They removed being able to hold W, hit / and typing out a message as you walked. Change that back please. |

If you have plaid any violent PC games you would know there are keys that could switch on a sound card and play the sound;voice chat is not a option due to how many underage kids who shouldn't own a private computer yet.
The most reasonable thing to do is either script in keys that play this sound card, or get the roblox company to self implement it or make it more compatible on servers to at least everyone can use or put into as a option. |

lol, never mind the walking and typing thing :P
I think anybody is happy enough raiding FEAR, despite it being impossible to get past the bloody statues because of every single FEAR member at Alinor III corner shooting the raiders, it's still entertaining seeing noobs run around trying to avoid getting killed.

Master, what are you talking about. What you said makes no sense. |

| @star, Yep fear can't stand them. The leader is a hoax. I was told he stole free models and said he made them back in 2011. |

@masterchief
Hotkeying to a command is good, but it's not nearly as good as being able to type "name, get to the right side before the enemy breaks through" while moving to the right side at the same time. There seems to be literally no reason for ROBLOX to have "fixed" this feature with the chat. |

Support. I'm trying to run from my friend and suddenly..
I want to type "I'm in the desert" to give her a hint on where I am, while also running but I have to PAUSE to type. Super annoying.
Give me ALL the fried watermelon. |

Again shorter callouts. "Alpha move right."
You don't need to tell them why they do it. They should follow your orders if you train correctly.

Nobbers it's not JUST for war groups.
In roleplaying it is helpful to run while typing. Say you're running after someone and catch up, then attack them. It is annoying to pause, because then when you send the message while far behind, they would say "missed".
Or Murder Mystery, when you're running from the killer and the gun is somewhere in the map, but you're not the last person so you ask, "Who has the gun? Help me out." or "Where is the gun at?" VVVVVVVVVVVVVVV OR you're trying to run from the killer, while trying to hurry up and tell the rest of the server who the killer is before you die. |

| I don't know why you are no longer able to keep moving while typing, because I am still able to. It must be something with your settings or PC. I even did it earlier today. |

| I really don't see why it was removed. The only con to having the ability to walk and talk is being able to AFK a "WALK 50000000 MILES FOR ADMIN AND VIP!!!!!" game, but nobody gives a hoot about those. This feature deserves to stay, and just like clicking to move, it had no reason to be removed. C'mon Roblox, you've been doing so good and now you remove features like these? |
