Guild Wars 2

I have my game set to censor – I’ve never been fond of kittens. :-)

map/guild/team (etc) chat is properly censored (“——”) however the HUD displays shows the uncensored chat.

I believe you are describing the word bubbles (if enabled) that appear above characters in the world when they type something. If so, then yes, these have never been appropriately censored along with chatbox text, sadly. It is something that really should not have been overlooked when designing the censor feature.

Due to the censor only affecting text displayed in the chatbox, perhaps they will correct this one day so that the text that is displayed in the word bubble is acquired from the chatbox after the censor has altered the text, instead of from the source being sent to the chatbox which does not receive the censoring.

As it is:
Source > Word Bubble (uncensored)
Source > Chatbox (censored due to chatbox settings)

As it should be:
Source > Chatbox (censored due to chatbox settings) > Word Bubble (censored)

Thanks for clearing up my attempt at describing it!!! Couldn’t think how to describe the word bubbles, but that’s exactly right!
