This has been said many times before, but just to rekindle the attention of the goddesses of ToS.
Let’s face it, half the things we talk about are censored, and those times occur when we’re not even trying to use profanity.
Please allow an alternate censorship option for us.
WHAT DO WE WANT?
To be able to type without fear of **
WHEN DO WE WANT IT?
Whenever you have time to add it in please.
Thanks.
I 2nd this. Lets focus on eliminating the MASS racism in this game and allow me to say ball.s or stupid words like this. There are way more problems occurring in chat that are more important than bleeping everything out.
How about they just remove the filter. Meh swearing ain’t a big deal anymore. I mean come on. If there were kids playing this game, I’m sure they’ve heard/seen something a lot worse than swearing in their daily lives.
Can’t even say “class” coz of the “ass”. lol
Dear Developers (and the GMs/CMs who will be passing it onto them):
This game is rated T for Teen. This means a filter should be optional, and you should be able to turn it off. Things like “the ‘F’ word” and $#!+ should be censored, sure, but that comes with the rating. Look at other T games, or Anime, or TV shows with the same ratings… Those are the only two (in the English versions, anyway) that get censored. Racial, Anti-LGBTA, and sexist slurs should be censored, sure, as well as sexual words, but give us the option to turn it off if we want. We understand the risk. Harm can be done without those censored words, they just have to be a bit more creative.
If you can’t give us the option to turn it off, then quit being so lazy about your censorship. Code it to censor based on exact words, not censoring half a word that isn’t even vulgar, or an entire word because it contains what you consider vulgarity (like animalistix_2000’s point of how “class” is censored because of “ass”). If you made your censor filter EXACT words, regardless of upper/lower case, then you could also make an active (active as in you’re gonna have to add to it every day most likely) filter for RMT Chat Bots that you see in town.
Oh, and the “For the kids” argument is just an argument used when people cannot think of something more creative, simply because the person they oppose will feel guilty, because, ya know, sympathy for children. It is not, however, foolproof, nor is it a valid argument to make for an ESRB-Rated T-For-Teen game.
I have a suggestion/compromise.
Leave the crappy filter only for world chat. Keep it optional for guild, party and general chat.
We highly appreciate your inputs and insights regarding to Tree of Savior. We will forward this suggestion to our proper department for further review. Thank you Savior!
It’s funny that a game so cute is populated by a mob of racist people
Racism ain’t new. I see people calling us “Peenoise” everyday. I’m not offended being a Filipino. I just find it funny how most take it as a compliment lmao.
Racism shouldn’t be tolerated. Put a support section for it. As for the swearing well come on. We all have our ups and downs and most of us use it for shits and giggles so… Yea Fck Lord Gaben for giving me sht drops.
See you forced me to put *
