it has been a week now, and the chat filter still hasnt been fixed in the slightest.
The issue that i cant communicate with people from my german community because i prefer to use the english client still exists. temporary setting it to german is only a workaround, and its an inconvenience because it means i cant play the game the way i want to play it. I dislike the german translation. infact, i play most games in english because it tends to be alot better than the resynched, translated stuff.

Could you atleast add actual language options to the filter so that i can pick what i want to see, instead of hardcoding it by client language?

Surely, I hope you see how this is kind of flawed design and that the border-cases, like myself, should have probably been taken into consideration. Think of the people who speak more than one language. they are currently completely ignored by how the filter and hindered in how they want and can play the game.

Before anyone posts it: no, deactivating the filter for myself wont solve the problem. It will only allow me to see everything in chat, it however wont allow me to talk to everyone, on the other hand though. Just putting this here because this had been falsely suggested to me one too many times already.

here is hoping this post doesnt get ignored for once, as all the other ones about this situation have been ever since the filter was added.

Actually I can’t understand the reason for that option. I think it stupid and unneeded (at least the way it is now). They kept saying about to strengthen the community and such but such option breaks it, it separates people. As your case, if someone needs to talk in another language at some point they have to go forth and back switching that option. I don’t see how posts in different languages could be annoying, it’s expected to happen as it’s an international community.

Game Bugs would not be the sub-forum for feedback on chat filters. You can give feedback in the appropriate thread over in GD, so the Devs involved will see it. =)

Why can’t you communicate with the German community, you know there’s an option to not exclude non english language from the chat (on the top left of the chat channel in options).

because that only changes that I can see what they say. they still wont see what i say though. turning that option on or off only works one way, not both ways.
