New settings - turning ON/OFF the chat ingame permanently

General Discussion

Hi Blizzard!
https://paste.pics/4P2X4
This has just happened and is happening literally every second game. If I win against someone I’m getting insulted that I am bad and I should die. If I lose against someone I’m being insulted that I am bad and I should die. I’m not playing to be insulted and the ONLY solution I can do is to /ignore [playername] if that’s even possible (colorcodes etc.). But after the game he is not ignored anymore and can further insult me through whisper (some of them indeed does).

I’d like to ask if it would be possible to add a new setting - turning ingame chat ON/OFF permanently, or perhaps to have some kind of an ignore list locally in the pc, so if I ever banned someone the person can never ever message me again.

I would much appreciate if you implemented something which solves the extremlyToxicCommunityOfW3 problem… :slight_smile:

Thanks if you’ve read this!

i hate interacting with actual people so it’s something i’m looking for.

grow up? I mean your name is toddler, stop acting like one, if you don’t like what someone is saying to you simply ignore him, no need to start arguing, when you know it will amount to nothing.
Is it too hard to just ignore people? or “kids” of this decade just love playing the victim card.

btw “gg noob” is not an insult, if he stomped you, it’s just hilarious. laugh it off.

I agree with you. I laugh it off. Once. Twice. Three time. Four times… But you know when it happens to you the 50th time you just want to understand why are they doing it, what is their motivation, why is it good for them etc. And again… if I’m getting insulted like this every second game i play is the best solution to tell me to grow up? That seems to me like some kind of reversed logic :o

dude that is unnecessary and the feature you’re requesting can be abused worse than your feelings getting hurt. especially in team games.

i think you need to either step away from the internet for a while if you’re faint of heart, or just man up…taunting will always exist in anything competitive, especially RTS games. Literally 0 way to stop it…even with a “no chat” feature.

plus i think you’re exaggerating, there’s no way you got heckled 50 times. I’ve played over 2k games and even more back in 2003 onward…i get crap talkers every now and then, maybe once or twice a week, especially if i lost.

you’re sensitive man :frowning:

Well I gave 1-2 suggestions that could solve this, and yes, they might raise new problems. Althought I’m not sure I know how could it be abused. None will tell you to turn off your chat… it would be your decision to do so. Or perhaps the banlist feature could work with no teamgame abuse. I mean why not to give the people features which they can but do NOT have to use?

There’s a difference between banter and just being vile that lots of people don’t comprehend.

Wishing for someone’s death isn’t banter or taunting or heckling, it’s just dumb.

You know what would be even worse? A community never gaining in population again and the game dying/never being as big as it was again because no one wants to play with the more awful people infesting it.

Plot twist: OP is actually the other dude.

People who say this in response to chat stuff, 9/10 times, are the ones getting triggered by someone having the audacity to not want to be insulted in a game.

Anyways, how about an option to disable enemy chat? Literally zero reason to chat with the enemy during the game.

Then what your team start abuses you cause you suck?.. logic = null.

11

use the /squelch NAME function… flamers are standart in wc3.

I can just repeat, League of Legends is using a very good punishment system where you can report flamers etc. after a check of the report from the game admins the user gets banned for a period of time or not.
From ban to ban the duration of the ban extends for the flaming player.

Wc3 Reforged needs a system like that. also to ban afklers and leavers.

Well obviously this was an alternative suggestion given the context of the thread, which you clearly did not see bother looking at

Logic=null indeed :crazy_face:

13

For some reason league is super duper popular and accumulates far more money to where they can justify probably putting people on to check through numerous reports. I don’t think reforge will have those resources. Thank you.

Sometimes I use it, for example if the game is far from ending and the enemy starts to flame. But that’s still only AFTER I’m getting insulted for no reason. If I want to prevent it I literally have to squelch everyone and the beginning of every single game, becouse the /squelch command works only for that game, then he can talk to me again. (And I didin’t even mention yet the colorcoded names, which you can’t squelch.) At least they should make the /squelch or the /ignore command permanent, or as it was said by Xoxin, just get us the ability to disable enemy chat (not ally chat).

yes thats correct. Namespoofer or IlIlIl Barcode names not possible.
