Emote Commands

Audience Scope

The scope of the audience that will receive the chat is specified by prefacing the chat message with one of the following commands. Any future chats will continue to use the same scope until a new chat is used.

Special Commands

Several game commands, often referred to as slash commands, are activated by being typed into the chat box. These commands do not appear in the chat log of other players. Emotes are also activated using slash commands.

Text Chat (Consoles)

Text Chat for PS4 and Xbox One players was added in Update 11, and fully supports peripheral keyboards. Text chat can be enabled from the Social settings menu, by pressing "Enter" on an attached keyboard, or by pressing the Menu and Map buttons simultaneously. All of the Audience Scope channels present in the PC/Mac text chat are available on console, with the exception of the language-specific zone channels /enz, /dez, /frz, and /jpz. All available channels, as well as all emotes, can be activated using the corresponding Slash Command. The special slash commands, such as /logout and /reloadui, are supported.

An expanded version of Text Chat is available under the Social menu, in which you can scroll through previous messages, select players for social interactions, and view details of linked items.

Voice Chat (Consoles)

Using the built-in console systems, PS4 and Xbox One players can chat with other players in-game as long as they have the appropriate peripheral, such as a headset. There are a number of different chat channels that can be joined, each of which can be muted individually. You can choose to speak in any one channel at a time, or choose none to just listen to other players. You can listen concurrently to Area chat and any one other channel.

Emotes

Emotes are commands that cause your character to perform an animation. They are simply aesthetic, and add an extra level to in-game socialization. Personalities can be used to change certain emotes.

On PC and Mac, all emotes are activated by bringing up the chat window, then typing in the emote command and nothing else. These commands do not appear in the chat log of other players. On PS4 and Xbox, emotes must be selected through the "Social" menu, and up to eight emotes can be assigned to quick-slots accessed using D-pad Right.

Quick Chat

There are 22 premade phrases that can be selected and assigned to the emote quick-slots. When you use a Quick Chat phrase, it will appear as a text chat bubble, visible to those around you. A few phrases also have an accompanying emote. Quick Chat is available by default on consoles, and on PC with the Gamepad UI mode.
