I know this feature isn't out yet but during the live letter it was announced that chat bubbles will only display up to two lines of text. In my opinion, this will severely limit the usefulness and adoption of this feature.
Chat bubbles are most useful in populated areas where the chat is flying by very quickly since they allow you to simply look in the direction of who you're speaking to and ignore the chat window entirely. With a two line limit you'll still be looking at your chat window more often than not to see the entire message which defeats the point of having chat bubbles to begin with.
Additionally, one of the main situations where this most frequently happens is during roleplaying, such as at a tavern venue. As you might imagine, messages sent during roleplaying are typically fairly long, which again with a two line limit would make this feature pretty much useless in practice for one of the groups that could use it the most.
I have no issue with there being an option to cut the message off after two lines, but please consider adding an additional option to remove this limit entirely and display the entirety of each message in the chat bubble. It's okay to have large chat bubbles!
Thank you!
EDIT: Whoops, I meant to put this in the User Interface forum. If a mod could move it that would be appreciated!
