You are of no use to anyone if you can't/won't communicate. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
33 Lord_Man_Hammer Members 192 posts 1,647 battles Report post #6 Posted January 13, 2017 use aslains modpack. it has a mod that removes chat altogether. I use it to prevent me yelling at idiots all day. They appreciate their blissful idiocy and I can go on playing this game. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If i heard one single pubbie trying to get people to do something cohesive in a match i'd die of shock. People who like to hit one button an go in a direction til the match is over fill this game. It would be so much better if this game had a clan system for wars to weed out the chaffe that just float around like a rubber duck. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

54 RECON_RANGER Beta Testers 245 posts 5,890 battles Report post #9 Posted January 13, 2017 Thanks, I used the mod to turn it off completely. Pubs in WOWS's are worse than WOT's. I have no use for chat, seeing it, or typing in it. Game chat in a WG game is CANCER. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If I am remembering right, it will disable chat. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It would be so much better if this game had a clan system for wars to weed out the chaffe that just float around like a rubber duck. In my experience 3/4 of my games have someone asking "Where to", and is responded with A, B or C. There is usually lots of joking and discussion, and team players use the team chat to tell people that they are laying smoke or scouting or tanking. There is cancer at times, and quite a bit of salt, but those aren't very common. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

613 [CHEEZ] twitch133 Members 2,614 posts 4,925 battles Report post #17 Posted January 13, 2017 Maybe stop making noobish moves that raise the ire of your teammates? And you won't have to worry about toxicity in the chat.... I will say that every time I have had that kind of hate raised in my direction, I have earned it with a stupid move that probably cost the team that match... My personal goal for improvement in this game is to make those mistakes less. I will never eliminate them, no player will, but I can do my best to try.

And you won't have to worry about toxicity in the chat.... But then you not be 'noobish' you need to play games. Toxic chat makes for less games and MORE 'noobish' issues. Using chat to guide a person is a FAR, FAR, better suggestion. Not everyone is instant elite. I disable chat for those that are toxic so chat can still be used. Takes a couple seconds and it is soo00 nice. I usually say something in chat about how nice it is when I do disable chat for toxic folks. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I usually say something in chat about how nice it is when I do disable chat for toxic folks. Way to cherry pick my statement to make an improper point. If you had included the rest of it.... You would have noticed that I readily admit, almost every time I have raised the ire of my teammates in chat, it has been due to a stupid decision that likely lost the match on my shoulders. There have been a few times I have been derided, where in the end, we win the battle and I am on top of the leader board, but those are so few and far between. The way I look at players being toxic to me is: "What did I do wrong that did / could have cost us the match, and how can I avoid that mistake in the future." And I am far from elite.... Nor do I pretend to be, what makes me different, is I am ALWAYS trying to improve. But if I see somebody doing something stupid, you can be sure I am going to call them out on it.

Actually- the rest did not pertain to the point in reality. Unless there was intended sarcasm that did not get accurately conveyed in your use of the term 'noobish' which to me is - for lack of a better term - derogatory in how it was used.

Unless there was intended sarcasm that did not get accurately conveyed in your use of the term 'noobish' which to me is - for lack of a better term - derogatory in how it was used. I have bolded the point I am addressing first, It is and was. I will be the first to admit, from my Battlefield: Bad Company days, I am a bit of and elitist. Most of the time I have what it takes to back it up, either the immediate skill, the desire to win, or the willingness to learn from my mistakes so I will win the next time. The part you ignored was integral, as I am still willing to admit when I make scrub mistakes, and that any hate I get for those mistakes is well deserved. The overall point, which seemed to have flown a mile over the target audience's head (of course it would, they have no desire to improve, just coast along in game, because they are oblivious.) Is that, if you are not willing to improve, and / or, cannot take any kind of feedback like that, constructive or not ( it rarely is) Maybe, just MAYBE.... the internet is not the correct place for you.

What we need is on/off switch with dust filters. Current chatbox is just... primitive. Nah, the only change they need is in the interface... it is crap. I am tired of wasting consumables because I am not chatting when I though I was. A Battlefield style system... H= Hide, Show, Only when active options; J = server chat; K = team chat; L = Division chat. This press enter to enter chat and enter to send is so blocky of an interface, windows does better.

84 Shnoze_Shmon Members 512 posts 7,657 battles Report post #25 Posted January 13, 2017 I just block individual players. If their chat is bad enough to make me block them I bless them with reports as well. That said my using the report function is rare. lol now watch, I'll find myself using my quota of reports every day for 2 solid weeks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
