I'd like a pop-up chat feature accessible in MA when tells are sent because I do not want to keep saving and exiting. I find it funny how annoyed some people get when a few seconds have passed before you are able to answer their tells because you are at the tailors changing your costume, or designing a mission and story arc in the Mission Architect. A pop-up chat feature similar to what skype has would work well.
Be happy!

Up in the right-hand corner of the full-screen MA window, there is a red 'X' button that will close the window and end your MA session. Just to its left is a little icon that looks like two overlapping rectangles; click on that, and the MA window will switch down from full-screen, allowing you to resize it, just like the 'Restore Down' button works with a standard Windows application window that's been maximized. Once the MA window has been un-maximized, you can resize and drag it to expose your chat window and respond to chat. The window position and size is remembered, so you can toggle quickly back and forth to use the chat once you have the window positioned and sized appropriately.

Just to add, I believe the character creation screen does not reduce from full screen like the main window does. Much like in Icon/Facemaker.
Dec out.
Is there as of yet a thread for requests for things to be added to MA? If there is, I'd like to know so I can ask to either allow using existing models and give them powersets or MA only costume pieces for lower level enemy groups like the Hellions, Skulls, Outcasts, etc, so we can make more accurate costumes for higher level versions of them.
