Disable Whisper?

As much as I like to see who it is attacking me I think during NW it should be disabled. The whole point of having no name/faction over your head is so you can have fun without the harassment of someone PMing "**** YOU" or "YOU ************* ****** ******* ******* *** *** ********* ****** ****** **** ** ** *** *******" (idk if there are even 2 letter censored words but you get the point).
I know you can still tell who some are by the way they look but at least it may help in situations. Or it could make people mistake someone for another person, who knows.

Just curious if anyone else agrees or disagrees.

    Sometime people need to whisper to plan where they go for the next war or some people just pm friends so yea cannot remove whisper. Or just people that pm to ask buff. So not a good idea to remove that.

    Yeah that's a great point and I love to use the whisper option for just that as well. Haha I just don't like the conflicts it seems to be causing between players.

    I ignore the idiots that pm me **** like ''F *''. To be honest I don't event read the chat, I'm in vent with my squad so yea.

    Just ignore them or BL them and after NW clean BL for the next time. I doubt you will have more then 30 persons pming you and rage in 2 hours of NW.

    I voted no, as I talk to a few friends in whisper that arent in NW. And I dont harass anyone that kills me. I have accepted the fact that compared to many squads, I am way underpowered, so I just do the best job I can.

    I've even accepted spawn camping. *shrug* its just a game and some NWs Im on the winning side, and others Im on the losing side. By the time I normally join NW, its already started, as I cant leave work early and traffic is a PITA, so I tend to be squadless.

    I will admit I have whispered someone with something like "let me live man, I want to live! lol" after I was killed several times in various instances by the same person, but it was a whisper all in fun.

    Some people just take this game way too seriously, and makes it seem PWI is their life, that they don't have any life outside of the game, which is truely sad.

    Lastly, the one thing I wish they would disable, or fix, is the constant interruptions of which parts are being attacked, won, or lost. It always interrupts my typing and pisses me off.

    I have to disagree with the OP.
    While I believe we get some hate whispers when we spawn kill them or keep killing them many times, it's also useful in determining how powerful the opponent team is in that battle. I always always whisper the person before i start attacking so i can decide whether to waste my chi or how best to approach the said person.

    I just troll and BL people who whisper me hate :< Except I don't remove people from BL :P

    I'm neutral. Either remove all forms of identifying someone (Whispering, T menu) or just enable name tags like in tw. Makes it more clean without having to do workarounds.

    I like that they've disabled names but added whispers, it really helps with a lot of the trash talking and such that makes me dislike PvP. It's humorous every once in a while to see someone trash taking in battle chat and trying to get it started, only to be to be told that literally no one on the opposite side can see it and none of the rest us of care. It's also a good way to filter out the whiners from the normal people since it discourages taling from the other side, most don't. The ones that do whisper you are just the ones that get extra whiny when things aren't going their way. Whispering also is good to talk to friends with or ask your side for buffs. I do wish nation chat was in a different color than the system announcements that are backwards.

    "A9 is occupying white nation instead of white nation is now occupying A9" for example, or something like that. Don't remember the exact system message. b:chuckle

    I like the whispering option, but not so much the interruptions of chat with the announcements. It's annoying when your instructions go from, "Please go to H8" to "Ple"b:surrender

    Hate whispers are rather funny than really annoying... It's silly how even your friends can get all mad if you accidentally kill them.

    I say keep the whisper option.. I talk with friends members outside squad via whispers to organize our moving better.

    There's no reason hate-messages should bother you. If they can't deal with their anger at dying in any more constructive way than using a colorful vocabulary, that's their problem.

    If anything, whispers are just detrimental to anominity, in that they can reveal the name of a player on the opposing team. IMO, this can have good and bad effects... I can certainly remember a time when my barb has been oneshot by some outrageously-geared psychic or something, and while I'm waiting to respawn I can see who killed me and say "oh it's THAT guy... welp, time to find another land." XD

    I'd hate to see it taken away. I agitate people in pms challenging them to come back at me and get a few more kills that way. It really works. You'd be surprised how many people argue back/try to kill you again...I just lol, kill em, and move on with my battles.
