The New Chat Restriction in The Feast

[Februs]

Holy hell ... this is STILL going on? I've been gone for more than a week now ... I figured SE would have at least done something. Even a public service announcement ... anything?

Still got no idea what's going on in 8vs8.

As for you, I feel your pain. Since SE has decided that cooperation is not in the spirit of team oriented gameplay, coming to the forums is probably your best bet. Without knowing specifically which tank you play as, the best general advice we can give you is to never, EVER, pick up more than 4 stacks of medals. Sometimes you can get away with more in 8v8, but if you get more than 5, you had better amscray ASAP. Find a corner and suck your thumb for a bit. After that, it's about knowing what your specific role can do, and doing it. If you have any specific questions about a specific tank, it would be a good idea to ask them or post your own thread topic. You'll usually you'll get an answer from someone who's been around the block.

At this point I feel SE knows they are wrong, and is trying to figure out how to address things.

I think they have to walk a very careful line. They can't just make knee-jerk reactions to things (although sometimes I know it can seem like they do), especially considering that any changes they implement will affect millions of players and possibly create more bugs.

Let's be real feast changes effect maybe thousands of players... Not millions lol

I'd say hundreds

I'd say hundreds

Hundreds would be including NA alone, given the ratings pages for our respective Data Centers. If we're talking global numbers, including the Jp servers, then thousands wouldn't be that far off the mark.

They probably ment hundred who actually care one way or another.

I hope they just say that the chat ban has been lifted and will be unmoderated except for reports of cheating/match abuse. It would be nice if there's a disclaimer that tension runs high during competitive matches with ranking on the line, and encourage individuals to use the chat filter or select an alternate chat channel without party chat if that would make gameplay more fun.

Edit: Then they can just discard all the complaints about name-calling and instead focus on players cheating or otherwise not participating appropriately in a ranked match (afking, feeding, jumping in place, etc).

You know the funny thing is, people just BM by spamming nice job when something goes wrong, and I have even seen people spam "<name> marked <name2> target to ignore"

Chat is still cancerous, you can't stop it SE

The only thing this chat ban does is prevent people from telling others how to play or their mistakes.

yep, I said that before, people will find a way to show mocking or toxic. This change did nothing other then annoy the experienced players.
