I think Enlisted would really benefit from allowing players to customise some of the macro chat buttons. Even RobB0x has editable emoji;s… Its about time…
At the moment, the predefined messages are quite limited, and because bots also use similar lines, they often get ignored or treated as background noise.
It would be useful if players could set a few short tactical messages, for example:
- “Attack left side”
- “Defend right flank”
- “Enemy tank near objective”
- “Need rally point”
- “Group on objective”
- “Stop rushing, defend point”
This could improve coordination, especially for players who do not use voice chat or are playing with random teams.
To prevent spam or abuse, the custom messages could have limits:
- short character limit
- cooldown timer
- profanity filter
- limited number of custom slots
I think this would make quick chat more practical and help separate real player communication from bot chatter.

This might be hard for my half a braincel teammates who don’t understand what is attack or defend as they think attack is tea party
Didn’t you consider that Enlisted isn’t a continental server? The whole planet is on a single macroserver, so everyone will write whatever they want in their own language, and it’s all the same… Nowadays, there are Chinese and Russians who write and expect a response as if you could translate what they say in real time or speak their language. Therefore, it’s just as useless as the garbage voice chat they implemented, which only serves to have an insufferable person talking without contributing anything.
What I do agree with is that the devs should stop twiddling their thumbs and do something, starting by adding more basic phrases. After all, the phrase menu is ridiculously huge for the number of phrases it has, so there’s plenty of room.
In the forum group we play in we sometimes use short chat. POC, M, X, GO, LS etc etc.
