Please Fix Chat

Chat is Wretched

  • I want to disable the profanity filter. Highest anti-nostalgia feature ever seen.
  • When I prefix an in-game message with the ‘!’ character, that message is floating above my character’s head. How could you POSSIBLY miss this one? It’s even more needed now that you are constantly displaying the wrong name for the author of game messages.
  • I want to leave lobby and trade chat. Its only spam bots and you should be embarassed.
  • So, we both CANNOT LEAVE the SPAM channels and also CANNOT CREATE our OWN CHANNELS … it seems you failed to implement even the most basic features of decades ago.
  • I want to see whispers in default game chat. Managing multiple chat windows that hijack and hide each other is wretched.
  • I want to see the character names on the recently played with list. You know, so it’s obvious who you are dealing with.
  • I want to see the correct character names in chat. You know, so it’s obvious who you are dealing with.
  • I want back the option to “Prevent player from hearing you” so I can tell the whole game EXCEPT GRIEFER what private name is in ONE MESSAGE.
  • I want a client-side filter.txt to extend my BLOCK LIST which is FULL from reporting SPAM
  • REMOVE the un-blockable emote text spam from chat, WTF?
  • When I BLOCK someone, then their MESSAGES(AND EMOTES) should NOT show up in my CHAT anymore
  • I want to broadcast messages to my friend list

I’m sure I’ve left out some other terrible design flaws in the wretched chat system, come on guys this is pre-alpha level of terrible

All of this 100% needs to be done. Also fix the chat bug where certain lobbies that get created no one can see each others text.

yes to all of this.

might i add. get rid of LOBBY. Reinstate Chat Channels. With custom Rooms.

the first thing i did when i entered d2:r was go /home fou.

you know what that used to do? make your home channel whatever you wanted it to be so spam bots couldn’t get a hold of your acct to personally msg you later…

You undermine your entire message by adding nonsensical crybaby bullcrap like this. I’m just saying, maybe be a bit more mature when requesting features… or just in general.

You must be one of those super mature people spamming emotes so that chat is entirely non-functional. How fun for you that even when you’re ignored you can still spam out the game chat. Appreciate the insult, bud.

Actually it wasn’t an insult, it was a suggestion to help better your communicative abilities with the general public - but now I see that my time spent giving you any advice will be time wasted.

You do you, fam.

Oh and :clown_face: :lollipop: :person_shrugging: :person_shrugging: :lollipop: :whale: :person_shrugging: :person_shrugging: :clown_face: :person_shrugging:

Because emote spam… or something to that effect.

Yes because wanting to be able to read messages in chat is ‘crybaby bullcrap’, we should all just accept a chat flooded with 100 ‘Help me!’ messages per second instead.

Flagged as trolling.

This has been an overwhelming opinion of the masses, but they just don’t even acknowledge it. I’m starting to truly believe they can’t figure out why it’s broken. B list coders?

Just remember, you said this. Deleting it from your original post doesn’t remove it from existence - but I’m the bad guy here. :man_shrugging:

I’ll stop responding to you now so you can think about what you’re trying to accomplish and how you’re trying to accomplish it.

Alright kthx byyyyeeeee~

I amended my post to get rid of you and yet you are still here trolling. Yes I said that, because I mean that. Some parts of this game are so excellent but the entire project is held back by this central function being complete trash. It is honestly SO BAD it looks like a middle schooler downloaded and improperly installed an asset from the Unity store. They should seek employment in a different profession. Go insult someone else, you won’t be missed, :clown_face: .

I don’t think they know how

This is too much to ask, apparently. But I’m happy we have a game search box. That was the most critical.

I think whoever implemented the current system doesn’t know how. Don’t let their cost-cutting fool you, Blizzard has access to people who could solve these issues over a lunch break.

It’s not.

It might have something to do with the Battle.net client integration. All the chat and friends lists works also with the battle.net client. Due to the framework requirements some things may or may not be possible in its current state. This is the only reasoning I can come up with.

Honestly, the basic chat features of two decades ago are far better than any bnet client integration. I would prefer that they scrap that advertising hub all together and allow me to launch d2r without it. There is a workaround for SC2, perhaps there is one for D2R as well.

It’s shameful that the chat system in the original game was far superior to a game released in 2020.

This. Whoever implemented the current system is a scourge to your company and should be fired. Not joking, this crucial module is currently complete garbage and has done immeasurable damage to an otherwise great title. Fire them, fix this. Please.

I miss old channel for example deu1-4
Trade 1-5 etc
Ingame chat was easier etc

Exactly; back when channels had a purpose other than forcing an unblockable avenue for RMT site bots to spam you. Clans, runs, etc. Now it’s just RMT advertising that you can’t remove.

honestly, this is what i quit playing d2:R

im not even kidding, i use to make most of my freind and have the most fun helping people out… giving away stuff in chat.
i can do none of that…

we cant even freaking TYPE WHEN DEAD.

i cannot upvote this thread enough…

this is BY FAR the biggest issue in d2:R at the moment.
