Make the chat cleaner for better readability

General Discussion
1

I would like the chat to be cleaner by removing all the noise and actually keeping only the messages of player. What do i mean by that? Whenever someone says hi, thanks or something else with the integrated messages in the game it also prints a message in the chat but i do not care about them and they are the same color of messages by teammates making it very easy to lose a message in all that spam. I want a way to remove all that noise, just keep the messages.

Plus as sidenote i would like a fast way to active or deactivate some chats fastly in the chat sidebar instead of needing to go in the settings and look for them. For example when an enemy team is spamming or being toxic i would like an option to quicly mute the chat as a whole instead of a player specifically.

And as last point i promise and this is just a very personal ADHD problem, keep the chat even more clean, don’t give me the message that i have endorsed someone, i know, i just did, keep the chat clean.

Thanks, that is all :slight_smile:

i wanna HIDE the stuff that gets shoved on my screen too. I don’t need to see an icon on my screen of a thumbs up thank you, it’s just clutter. Especially when people spam YES NO THANKS NO YES YES NO.
very frustrating.

You can’t change your icon on the forums. I chose it because it’s cute.

First time someone has got triggered over an icon. A true snowflake.

this game needs so much. chat still same since ow1.

how hard is to implement a color filter, custom spam filter, and change size position of chat.

8 years they barely put audio sliders last year

Guys can we please keep it serious i don’t care about your opinion of an icon on a forum.

And no, the problem is not the chat, read carefully, the problem is the fact that saying hi or thank you fills the chat making it hard to read through actual messages.

Good chat option would be great but a simple way to hide clutter from the chat should be a 2 code line fix

do not care. it’s a forum icon.

That would be a nice change. To differentiate the colours.

Keeping messages like “group up” and “fall back” in the chat would still be helpful.
But “hello” lines don’t need to be visible there.

I always wondered if there could be a better way. Currently the “chat” is like a log of all the things that happened. All manually types messages, all predefined messages, server warnings and errors, endorsement info, avoided player info, additional warnings (like afk, unable to find custom match)

Maybe a filter or sections could work.

You can bind a button to “hide chat”. That’s what I do.

It’s so very rare to see actual good suggestions in here.

Yeah, good idea. Alternatively phase out/delete those messages after a bit. Whichever way works.

You only need to type /h then enter and it auto-completes. Can’t really get much faster.

The full sequence is

Enter
/
h
Enter

It is not about hiding the whole chat, is about hiding spefiic type of chats, like a filter
