It is rather confusing to Xbox players and even somewhat off-putting to them to see all these ??? symbols everywhere, despite that nobody in the game is hardly swearing.

I know you guys are looking into problem will 7.0 block out the Xbox chat profanity filter.

I hope it gets addressed with 7.0. If we are still going to have to continue to deal with the broken chat filter on Xbox, I'm going to have to consider getting DawnTrail on PS4 instead. I'd rather deal with reduced performance due to technical limitations than a core game feature that goes out of its way to frustrate players.
