I really think the in game chat channel could use some work.
It is seriously annoying that I have to look at walls and walls of Chinese or whatever characters so much that I can not read. I really do not understand why we can not have a simple filter that either allows characters OR letters. I am sure the people using characters to speak in their language get just as annoyed when they have to read English.
This is also the only game I have played that did NOT allow you to filter your channels. If I am in a group then the only chat I want to see is group chat, but there is no way to eliminate everything else like you can in just about every other game that has chat. You should be able to filter to group, clan, global, looking for group or any combination depending on what you want to see.
You should also be able to clear your chat window with a simple /clear like most games to get rid of old conversations with other groups or whatever.
I use voice for most things but lately I have been playing a lot with random groups in missions and it is really hard to communicate as the chat is so borked that I think most people don't even have it turned on, I know I didn't until just recently because of the walls of character text.
You can right-click on each channel tab to mute/unmute them, which more or less gets the job done.Originally Posted by USMC_Tallin Go to original post
Muting global chat was sadly one of the first things I felt I had to do, since it quickly becomes an unreadable mess at times, no matter how hard you try to mute/report the spammers.
It's such a pity really, because I've had some genuinely good laughs in global chat sometimes, and have met some really fun players there.
But these days the sheer amount of spam/racism/hate/etc is just intolerable.
