Why i cant Block More than 100 players ??! and already all who i block ppl spaming in chat ?
i Think they didnt expect more then 100 players to play this game, you cant block whole comunity.
Dont eat me Guys, that was an joke.
Probably due to performance issues… each time someone writes something the game have to check against that list…
if the checking is done server side you save bandwidth but can burn money due to cpu cycles… if done in the client you save server’s cpu cycles but you requiere more bandwidth (remember that egress bandwidth is somewhat expensive)
now i am forced to keep that bots spam in chat and if i remove some bot from block list i dont know he take a ban or not
why can’t the blocklist be local…?
just have my client not show me the message if it’s by a player in my blocklist. it’s that easy. i don’t see how egress bandwidth is an issue for messaging when the average message is <100 bytes and most people don’t even bother blocking
also bloom filters exist
as I said… is a tradeoff… why would you send data to the client that is useless to them (it will get filtered) you are just wasting bandwidth!!!
Be aware though that I’m not saying LA does chat filtering on the server side… I have no idea
Edit: I suspect that the filtering is done server side due to the fact that you can only block players that are in the same server as you
