Chat system devs please read!!!!

can we get an upgrade with the chat system???? I understand the upgrades we are getting are fine and all, but the censor is out of whack...its making what is already a hard to chat/ communicate game (on xbox) to even harder, having to pick certain words that will not get **** its silly words like got is blocked which needs replaced with *got....like really I also understand we have children playing but why not just block out profanity?????

"A boss" gets censored... this is an mmo, I should be able to say a boss.

For the record "boss" is Hindi for a$$h*le

thefiresidecat

so censor various languages in their prospective language.

Good point cat, make it language setting specific. I'm sure there are many innocent words in English that can mean something rude in others & vice versa but you can't apply a global edit on that principle.

I mean, the forum auto edits English swear words but not stupidly - I can say got!!

I had "a lot" edited on me yesterday - lol.

Yupp very good points or allow us to turn our filters off completely regardless of language

This right here. Some of us are, what's that word, adults! We can choose if our content should be full of profanity or censored. And even if that's so difficult for you to implement – really its not – then build a better exclusion dictionary because it's severely annoying to write "got" and get censored.

I was mainly mad because it censored me when I tried to call my guildmate a "flaming HAMSTER bag" because he pulled a +5 ring from Orcus. Just sayin.

It is also unreliable. About half the time I write "it is" it gets censored.

I agree, an upgrade/update would be nice especially for those STILL DAYUM ANNOYING 3rd website spammers. Tired of blocking, reporting them.

You can't even say "Roger". I have talked to Andy about this to get him to push the devs on this issue many times. I know they are aware. I just don't know exactly what the roadblock is for fixing it.

we live in a new age where censorship is pretty pointless people say mf cnt and other foul language on kiddie games like roblox all the time yet here is one of the most evil and hated gaming companies according to most christians on the planet and yet they censor profanity...grow up arc --- language filter is dumb if someone gets offended they can report them thru xbox...

crimsonlightning

Yeah I noticed "roger" long ago. On what planet is roger an offensive word?

What the chat system desperately needs is a blacklist function. For example, fictitious user "smokemtokem420" is spamming Zone with incessant mindless chatter and you're tired of seeing it. You should be able to highlight his name in the log as you would to invite or tell, only you'd also be given the option to blacklist his gamertag -- completely muting any and all communications from this user until you chose to remove him from blacklist status. This is not original, it's stolen straight from Xbox 360's functionality.

Why should I have to mute Zone to relieve myself from just one idiot's belligerent, socially inept behavior? Or have to endure the braindead chatter of pvp tryhards as they peen-sult eachother back & forth in Icewind Dale while the rest of us are just trying to enjoy our afternoon playing our game?

It's a simple fix. Should've been there from day 1.

Had an issue in Guild Chat today, again, where I was asking for help with EDEMO and apparently a guildie was saying Invite invite invite...but I could not see it at all. Luckily he was in party chat with other guildies and they told me he wanted in. Please devs, fix the chat. It is really really broken. @strumslinger
