While the new chat brings many good and needed features to us like scrolling and commands, it really doesn't suit my tastes. Reasons to remove it:

1: It takes up too much space. Seriously, the new chat takes up half of the top left of the screen on its own, but the fact that when new things are said the chat takes up more space. This means that game developers like me lose room for us to put our GUIs, and I personally use the left side of the screen a lot (idk why k.)

2: The text is too small. Ugh, reading stuff in the new chat is a pain! I can read it fine, but I wish it were bigger, and also, its so small, our usernames look like a random color because the letters are crushed together. Some characters (particularly periods) don't even look like they show up when I type them.

3: It says "Welcome to Roblox" right on top of the chat. For starters, you YOURSELVES say its "ROBLOX" and not "Roblox," so I guess you can see the error. I also get annoyed because I am not new, and have been on ROBLOX for over three years. That's really little, but its annoying.

4: It broke / commands. I think a command system is great, especially the whisper things. However, it broke / commands. I actually played a newer game that uses / commands for stuff, and they didn't work. HOWEVER, this could have just been the game and not ROBLOX, I was too lazy to go to another game and see if they worked there or not.

5: Too much work to chat. Ugh, I think you have to say some dumb command before you chat for the whole server to see it, so if you don't chat without it you're basically talking to yourself.

6: It looks plain ugly. Seriously, it doesn't match the look of ANYTHING on ROBLOX. It looks like some lousy GUI you can easily make in studio. I would have preferred if it matched the look of the rest of the ROBLOX GUIs. Also, the font is really ugly and needs to be changed. SourceSans looks good on the site, but definitely not in the chat.

7: That space in the chat bar before the text. This really just annoys me (probably OCD or something), but the space before the chat bar just looks really bad. Make it be at the beginning again.

u sicko!

Actually, I want to add more onto this.

Now, they don't have to REMOVE the new chat. If they remove it, well great, that's even better and everyone's happy. But if they'll be persistent about not removing it, then Roblox should at least fix these problems. I already agree with all of yours, but here are a few more.

The brackets around the player names are so unnecessary. They get on my nerves and are just annoying. They even brought back the colored names, there's no need for brackets.

The big black box that appears when you're typing takes up space, as well. The scroll bar should stay when you're typing, but why the box? It doesn't even have a purpose.

The placement of the chat should be more toward the corner, they moved it into a spot where it takes up MORE space.

Also the worst part of the chat is that as it moves up, it doesn't do it cleanly like it used to. Instead it keeps going up and then you see a sliver of a message hanging out in the open at the top of the chat and it's just so god dang annoying. Aaaaaa.



Most of the stuff in the chat is bad. The scroll bar and chat commands are great, but everything else should've remained the same. Also they shouldn't use / for commands. Maybe there could be a little chat menu all the way on the right side of the bottom bar that could allow you to team chat, whisper, or global chat.

Those are my two cents. Again, I support.

New chat should support various resolutions. It seems to work as intended on low res, but on 1920x1080 it is way too small.

Support, if not give us a choice if we want this chat GUI on our game or not, because some game developers don't want team chat for particular reasons, also i use the / prefix for a lot of my scripts so now i have to go and re do all my scripts which is a pain in the butt.

Support.
It is soooooooo easy to glitch the chat when copying and pasting a wordwall in a notepad document.

Plus the font just looks awful.

I'd state all the reasons why I hate it, but you already have a well-written argument with a lot of reasons to support it.

"Scriptable..."

Scripts and getting rid of the official chat have nothing to do with eachother you idiot.

You joined roblox a few months ago and appear to have no idea how the chat works. Changing the chat would require setting it to bubble chat, which has nothing to do with scripts.
Actually learn what you're talking about before shooting down a suggestion with a completely irrelevant and incorrect statement.

@Colorful Actually, you can remove the Roblox chat gui using a script even though you put it classic.

I don't remember how but it has something to do with CoreGUIs

Support. It also keeps like glitching and disappearing for me when I am in games. It's really annoying. The last one looked really nice.
