I’m sure not everyone noticed so far but here, if you haven’t read it so far:
- Added a chat option – enabled by default – that shows only the messages coming from players sharing your client’s text language.
- This option is only applied in to the /map and /say channels, as well as the /team channel in the Edge of the Mists. Other channels are not affected.
Messages from players in your friend list are never hidden.
- Messages from players in your friend list are never hidden.
- Messages from players from the same World as yours are never hidden.
- Messages from players currently in your party are never hidden.
- Messages from players representing the same guild as you do are never hidden.
- Reminder: if you encounter players using abusive or rude language in chat, please report them by right-clicking their name in the chat window and selecting ‘Report.’
- Blocking a player still functions the same way.
First off, I’m an EU player which plays on a GER server (No one really reads the forums over there though, so here I am). My client was bought and hence is, german. However, I have changed my client language and VO to english as it is aesthetically more pleasing to me. Now, the new language filter does following things to me:
- I can only read chat, which is written on clients which are exactly set up like mine.
- People who do not own a client exactly set up like mine cannot read my messages.
The problem is, due to the Megaserver I am put on servers with similar *base clients/language (Ger)*
The result is, that I have to disable the language filter to even read chat at all since the large percentage on my server has a german client/VO. Also, since the other people still have the filter turned on, they can’t read my messages at all.
You guys literally isolated players with your hotfix/filter system!
I don’t want to be forced to play on german again (Yuck that VO…) just because your filter system is not optimized for edge cases. Please fix it asap!
