remove chat filter

[Willard]

i cant communicate effectively with my teammates and im not even attempting to drop the n word or something like that

[Puason]

cant even say cumans sometimes

Communication is definitely very important on team games contrary to 1v1, but it seems to me that the chat filter makes it more difficult to communicate on team games. If you want the better multiplayer experience that would probably be 1v1 instead of team games. I am honestly not sure what the point is for chat filter and why it is necessary.

Microsoft's language filter is universally awful. Does not matter the game.
I've managed to say a bunch of swear words with no issue, sometimes random ones will get censored, other times the whole thing will get censored. Then other times you'll say completely normal things that should not be flagged and the system has a fit. It's a bad system.

Hell it's so bad it made playing Final Fantasy XIV on Xbox a joke. People were trying make Free Companies (guild/clan system). Free companies basically being a term for a mercenary band. Anyway Microsoft's system thinks it meant the other kind of company you pay money for...

Trillion dollar company by the way.

Ironically, I think that less people would be complaining if there was no chat filter in place than there being one right now. More people might get banned from certain types of multiplayer games on Microsoft if there was no language filter including AoE II: DE multiplayer, but I would like to think that a bad system is overall worse than there not being a chat filter. Microsoft is a multi billion dollar industry at least if not a trillion dollar industry.

My personal opinion is, if it's not breaking the law (e.g. doxing), threats of violence, racist or sexually explicit, then it should be allowed to be said. Have a automatic plus manual system of review for anyone reported for violations. But that costs money :)

It's weird how the original AoE 3 had a toggable chat filter, yet for all DEs they went for a forced solution.

It's definitely over censored and it often censors stuff that has nothing wrong with it and makes it look like you said something much worse than you did. And people saying actually nasty stuff have figured out how to avoid the chat filters. If you say "green has a massive ball of archers" or "red is trying to Persian douche me" both will get censored.

I swear to everything I believe in that this stupid game once censored the name "Vietnamese" while I was playing a 4v4.

Sounds about right, lord forbid you can actually communicate worth a damn in a strategy game is not as if you got anything better to do then try to type the same thing 5 times in different ways(hopping it gets allowed trough the lobotomizer AI) while you are getting you base razed/warn an ally you scouted a huge cav squad heading for his...
