For the love of god AGS. PLEASE disable this useless piece of garbage chat filtering algorithm! (new video attached)

I’m not going to be polite about this because I’m tired of saying it, and I know I’m not the only one sick of dealing with this sloppy algorithm you guys coded into the chat.

Either disable the chat filtering algorithm or add a feature for us to disable it. I’m so sick of my messages being removed because they were “inappropriate” when I’m using common f*king expressions in the English language.

I literally can’t even say something as simple as how much silver I have(go ahead guys, type in 7 consecutive digits and watch it flag them as inappropriate). Social security numbers aren’t even that length. What 7-digit number is your worthless code supposedly protecting us from saying?

Please stop experimenting with functionality you have no business dabbling in, and remove this filter that’s making even talking about the game, IN THE GAME, impossible to do.

Big agree - whatever value it’s meant to bring to the game is completely overhwhelmed by the endless frustration is creates.

Make the profanity filter client sided and opt-in in the options.

This is ridiculous.

Oh as an argentinian as every of our words have doble meaning i can’t write at all.

I can’t say an ability has a cone area cause cone is a bad word.

I can’t say throw in spanish cause that could have a sexual meaning even tho i want to use it as “when the boss throws”

I wish i could at least disable the filter.

At the very least - I’m not exaggerating when I say that I actually cannot think of a more oppressive chat filter in another game.

AGS doesn’t make changes to the game, Smilegate does. :man_facepalming:

Smilegate is a Korean developer. Who do you think is handling the English version of chat? :man_facepalming:

It absolutely needs to be opt-in with it on by default. Then when issues arise we can just tell people to turn it off and everyone gets what they want out of it.

I’d get behind this but even the mods jump in the middle of discussions on these threads to hide comments that aren’t even mildly offensive. I guess it’s company culture to tell adult aged humans what they can and can’t say like we’re playing a T or E rated game.

to be fair though if this forum is representative of the playerbase then a big portion of the playerbase is mentally 12 .

Yup. It’s a lazy system that doesn’t help with gold spammers, and censors far more than it needs to.

This is one of those small things that really test how much a company actually cares about player experience. If this were a Blizzard game issue, I’d fully expect them to ignore it. I really hope AGS/SG are more aware than that…

I have an idea. Let’s list out strange sentences/word strings that cause the filter. Tonight, I just got this.

“Man, Igrexion is so easy on my paladin”
What my brother saw.
************** is so easy on my paladin.

YOU ARE MAKING ME LOOK BAD.

One of the biggest jokes is that you can’t LINK certain INGAME items in the chat like Legendary maps, like wtf is this shit lmao?
