Banned phrases from game chat

Even the letter V is being censored. A LETTER.

These censored words are NOT OFFENSIVE. Fix your sodding chat filters. We can’t even type REGULAR SENTENCES without the filter just erasing it. It’s pathetic. You have an option to turn a censor on or off. If you have it off, you should be able to see or say anything at all. If someone goes too far, report them. But forced censorship for every day words, and even your own sodding city name (Everfall, for reference, chat censors that too)?! Pathetic.

looks like someone tried to copy something in the “filter file” and missed the ctrl key KAPPA

You can’t say “Taiwan” but one of the most popular US West servers is currently being dominated by a fully Taiwan company (150+ members). I guess they can’t talk about where they are located or their primary language.

Again missing the point… it isn’t about people getting offended… it’s about people advertising gold sites and others crashing people out of the game as well as people purposefuly insulting others… I personally don’t get offended… but seeing people arguing over nothing… is annoying. Yes I can just block them… but then so can amazon and this filter is a step in the right direction. It just needs a little bit of work

Wrong - we aren’t missing the point. I believe you might have ENTIRELY missed the point. People have an option to turn on and off a filter. Why would you feel it’s ok to have a blanket filter when a personal filter option is made available?

67

Slippery slope as you will ban basic conversation between people. “insults” are subjective.

I can call a company mate an idiot if I want when we’re joking around. No one has a right to decide what I can and cannot say.

People have to take personal responsibility again. Use the block button and all of this goes away.

AGS just has to tell everyone “use the block button if you don’t like it.” and move on. Problem solved.

Bots and spamming are a different beast and limiting everyones ability to speak isn’t the correct approach. it’s completely off base as usual.

Or in the game as well lol.

I remember typing in “Bugger” and was shocked to see it censored. Like really bugger? Like dang almost as bad as passive being censored in an app game I play because it has the word ass in it.

This is a slight overkill.

This has to be a bug, my theory to this is they gave us

Reduced attribute respec coin cost by 60%.
Reduced weapon mastery respec Azoth cost by 75%.

So they had to break something else since we got such a good fix.

I had random things just not show in chat. I wasn’t using curse words, slang, racial epithets, etc. Just basic English talking about things in Company chat. It would just filter the whole sentence, meanwhile botter gold sellers seem to bypass filters with ease. I hope this patch fixes some of this garbage.

73

So apparently there are some “bugs” that were introduced in chat yet still no official statement on the fact words and phrases have been outright banned from chat they only mentioned the letter v

74

i just tried lets go brandon, taiwan and some of the others the OP said was not working and they all showed up fine…

75

I also wanted to point out that as a lowbie 11 and under. You are unable to talk in general chat until you do the faction quest.

76

Bingo!

The restrictions are probably on their accounts only due to frequent trolling lol! Now they’ve revealed to us all what they really are :stuck_out_tongue:

Yeah because an entire server not being able to say stuff is just us trolling. Drink that kool aid.

some of the banned words can be hilarious in certain contexts. I offered to give my playing partner some (green) wood the other day only to discover it coming out as ‘***’
