Currently, the game chat, excluding everything that comes from Public, Private, Clan, etc is too spammy. This is especially bad with the new Immortal Stone event where everytime someone gets a drop it tells me. This is particularly annoying if i'm trying to keep up with a thread of conversation and I loose focus for a few seconds and have to scroll back up to see what people said. I think that either a filtered game chat option would be beneficial, or just removing unwanted spam in general would be great. The things that immedialty come to mind are as follows:
Immortal Stone drops
"Rare drops" like brutal whips and stuff like that that aren't worth anything, while they may still be rare - I think this also misleads new players who think they've gotten something good when infact it's junk.
Welcome messages (?) I know people like to be welcomed by no one ever says anything as far as I know. Maybe it could be useful for helpers to be notified but other than that...
Lvl 99 announcments? I know that people like that as well, bc usually it's an achievement but stats don't mean anything here but I see the usefulness for newer players.
I'd love other people's thoughts on this. I think that an option for a filtered and unfiltered chat would be best because then we could choose, who knows, maybe folks like seeing the immortal stone messages.
Cheers for reading.
