Genshin Impact players have found a quirky method to manipulate chat text sizes, sparking a mix of amusement and bewilderment.
Genshin Impact, a game renowned for its vast open world, engaging combat, and rich storyline, has now become a hotbed for players experimenting with its chat system. This action role-playing game, developed by HoYoverse, takes players on a journey across the fantasy world of Teyvat, where they can explore, battle, and interact with a vibrant community of gamers.
The topic stirring the community involves the game’s chat feature. Typically used for communication between friends and co-op gameplay participants, the chat has hidden depths, as players recently discovered.
Imagine chatting with your friends in-game when suddenly, a large text message pops up. That’s the surprise many Genshin Impact players experienced upon learning that the chat text size can be changed, a feature unbeknownst to many until now.
“I never knew you could enlarge the text, lol,” remarked one player, echoing the sentiment of many unaware of this possibility. The method involves a specific tag format that alters text size, a discovery that has led to playful and sometimes overwhelming chat interactions.
The community was quick to dive into how this trick works. Players can manipulate the size of their chat messages by using a text format similar to HTML, creating text that’s hard to ignore.
Some players expressed their love for this newfound trick, likening it to old HTML tricks used in other online spaces. Yet, not everyone found the large text amusing. A few described the oversized messages as creepy, while others joked about the ‘loudness’ of such texts in a virtual space.
The initial message is displayed using the default text size. Following this, the text sizes in the subsequent message are changed: the second message is set to a size of 10, the third to a size of 50, and the fourth to a size of 100.
Interestingly, this trick is possible due to Unity’s Rich Text feature, a detail pointed out by knowledgeable community members. This revelation led to discussions about the potential security implications of allowing formatted messages in the chat, with some speculating that this feature might be patched out in the future to prevent misuse.
Despite the mixed reactions, the discovery has brought a new layer of fun (and chaos) to Genshin Impact’s chat system.
