Trying to chat with a friend, random people, hell anyone on DC Universe Online was a damn nightmare and I never could get it to work when it is supposed to have an in game chat feature. It would definitely make it easier when fighting bosses together, tell teammates when you are down to be revived among other things.
You can keep informed on fixes in progress and state any problems you are having with the game on the Official Forum– right here. A patch was supposed to fix issues in the game but obviously some people are still experiencing chat issues.
These chat issues prompted Community Manager, RadarX, to to let fans know that SOE is working on the problem stating “We are currently working on implementing some chat improvements. In the interim I’d like to see if there are some specific areas or types of chat not working more often than others. If it’s a server load issue, we will absolutely address it.” The patch fixed the following:
General:
* Improved Client performance and stability.
* Addressed an issue that caused some PS3 players to hang or disconnect in the tutorial.
