Quote:It depends on the character I'm playing, personally - and more importantly, whether the team can spare my attention for a moment. If I, or someone else, am damn close to dying if stuff isn't done RIGHT NOW, then I ain't gonna take the time to type.
You manage to type at all in battle? o.O
But if the battle's proceeding well...then sure, what the hell. Especially if I'm on a debuff character. If I've already smashed all my big debuffs on the bad guys, I got a window of opportunity to chat. 'cause even if i continue to attack then, it's not like it'd make a huge difference anyway. My major contribution's already been made.
On a Blaster, I might take the time to chat immediately after dropping my nuke. 'cause even if I pop a blue inspiration or two, I don't have much endurance to do much anyway.
Even outside those specific cases, I still type chat stuff, be it random comments or RP - mid-fight. Since generally there will be moments when I find all my situation-relevant powers have been used, and there's gonna be at least a second or two before stuff recharges.
Admittedly, I type fast.
