    I'm kinda concerned. In the campaign I am in on AD on PS4 EU. We use zone chat heavily.
    letting everyone know were we are. Were we go next. Most of us are not in same group. Hence why we use zone chat heavily in the campaign I in on PS4 EU.

    If the new zone chat co-exists with all 3 alliances. How are we suppose to talk with our factions. For a surprise attack. Without letting enemy alliance know on were we are going. Without being in same group on my faction. Or am I reading this wrong?

    Zone voice chat has always been toxic on console and text chat is pretty much the same. A whole lot of sledges and irrelevant comments in between the for sale yells and people looking for groups. As soon as I figured out how to turn off area voice chat, I did and I am close to permanently turning off my text chat too.

    Oh hey! I was there!

    Then I went to the Rift to farm me some Ysgramor and there was another guy spamming about how we who have Champion Points shouldn't be there (?) and dropping names.

    Do you think that they are the same person by any chance?

    Just so that everyone knows, my Altmer still can't have black hair. About a dozen of Altmer NPCs in the game have black hair. Just saying.

    Meet my characters:
    Command: Do the thing.

    Zadarri, Khajiit Fist of Thalmor: The thing was done, as commanded.
    Durza gra-Maghul, Orc blacksmith: The thing was done perfectly, in the most efficient way.
    Tegwen, Bosmer troublemaker: You can't prove I didn't do the thing.
    Sings-Many-Songs, Argonian fisher: Sure, I'll do the thing... Eventually. Maybe.
    Aerindel, Altmer stormcaller: After extensive research, I've come to the conclusion that doing the thing would be a waste of resources.
    Liliel, Dunmer pyromancer: Aerindel said I shouldn't do the thing. Something about "resources".
    Gyda Snowcaller, Nord cryomancer: I will find a way to do it that won't waste resources and make Aerindel proud of me.
    Beatrice Leoriane, Breton vampire: I persuaded someone else into doing the thing. You are welcome, dear.
    Sahima, Redguard performer: Doing the thing sounds awfully unpleasant and really not my problem.
    Ellaria Valerius, Imperial priestess: I'll pray to the Eight for the thing to be done, if it is Their will.

    I did notice that in Auridon and Grahtwood, zone chat was often idiotic and full of people who didn't read patch notes (which ZOS should summarize, VERY briefly, for players who don't read more than a line at a time), but basically harmless.

    Stonefalls and Deshaan, zone chat had some of that, but also repeated hate from EP/Dark Elf zealots telling AD & DC to get out and stay out of their pureblood home. When you roleplay the baddies too long…

    I didn't notice anything much in Alik'r, didn't go to the other DC zones, but can't imagine they're worse than that.

    Lol If he was insisting he was right, everyone else was wrong and abusing those who disagreed with him, then it quite possibly was the same person.

    If you click the little circle thingy on your chat box and go into 'options' you can select which chat you only want to see.

    yes all factions cross chat now, with a game designed around fighting the other alliances.

    needless to say, chat has become very toxic

    Chat's already been toxic. Becoming even more so has to be quite an achievement.

    Oh yes, he was calling everybody who disagreed idiots and being really aggressive about it. Kept saying we were ruining it for low levels and ended up arguing alone as the rest of the people on the zone chat started chatting about the new overland sets instead of paying attention to his rant.

    I admit that I found it quite amusing.

    Right from the start my concern about OneTamriel was that, once introduced, it would be spoilt by the more immature players.

    I wonder if the a player's alliance can be retrieved from the API. If so an add-on can just hide cross alliance chat.

    As far as I can tell, there's nothing in the add-on API that let's you tell what faction a message is from unless they're in your guild, group, or contact list. We're probably better off with it like that anyways.

    If you think childish alliance beef is bad, just imagine what's happening on the European servers. More populated zones = more Germans, Spaniards, French, Italians, Dutch people who can talk to each other in /zone. I think I could only make sense of 1/4 of the chat last night.

    Khajiit was on European Tamriel Zone chat last night and honestly it seemed that most players were quite happy to be able to log in and to see each other at last.

    This was then celebrated by everyone fighting each other on the streets of Rawl'Kha.

    On the topic of my last post though, this French, German and Dutch revival is more annoying than gold sellers. At least you can understand what they say. This is just nonsense filling up everyone who doesn't speak the language's chat. I wish there was a way to filter out messages that contained words you defined yourself like in Black Desert. I'd add eine, kleine, steine and Schnappi in a heartbeat.
