Chat bubbles
Section titled “Chat bubbles”A chat bubble shows what you say above your head, so people nearby can read it without looking at chat. You only get a bubble if you are wearing one.
The Howling bubble has wolf ears and fangs, and it unlocks when you help kill the Pale Alpha. It goes on by itself when you earn it. Open /nameplates and left click it to put it on, or right click to take it off. Very long messages stay in chat only.
The Copper Seam bubble has gold crystals on its corners, and it unlocks when you help crack the Motherlode. The Gnasher’s Grin bubble has eyes and a row of teeth, and it unlocks when you help land the Old Gnasher in Deep Haul. Neither goes on by itself: open /nameplates and left click it to put it on, or right click to take it off.
Earned titles above your head
