The most important bug? & DB chose THIS?!?!

Censorship in the in-game message system.

I #### you not. (Irony totally intentional!)

No fixes for traits. No fixes for lag. No fixes for ad's. But we can't speak our minds in-game, or we might offend... Who? Under 16's? But this is fundamentally a gambling game, So why are they allowed to play?

We now can't even type individual letters if they make up (or potentially make up) an off-colour word.

Seriously, DB! THIS is the priority now?!?!? One of my team-mates couldn't type NUMBERS earlier! simple numeric's were censured.

Yet Adverts crash or cause the game to keel over? Traits are simply wrong? & the lag today is beyond a joke! I could go on....

Might i suggest the wrong end of the employment spectrum was let go?

    STTL is not a gambling game, fundamentally or otherwise. (Snakes & Ladders is a kids game that has a random element).
    Offensive language should be removed regardless of the age of players.
    Lag and adverts have nothing to do with messaging.
    I think your post is ####, and you don't need to be over 16 to know what I mean.

    Try using other pseudo words or phrases like "Feck Off!" or "**tsk tsk** Off!"
  • come on...they censured me when i said they are greedy...does more censure really surprise from the land of the free-to-get-offended-by-anything?
  • I'm from America, and it drives me crazy how much we censor. Freaking ridiculous

  • i had no idea they could make the censor worse than it was before. i can not even type my own fleet name any more. Please fix this, db.
  • why would you use the in game chat? Just use Slack or Discord.

    DB must have been in the crapper when they decided to add even more to the chat filter. as if it wasnt hard enough to have an intelligent conversation. why not just BANN the ENTIRE **tsk tsk** ALPHABET and be done with it.
    yeah, i know your going to black list this post, but maybe you should take a hint, you have taken your censor to GD far, <snip> ˜Shan
    don't like our language, then QUIT GIVING US REASONS TO BE SO <snip> ˜Shan .
    DB needs to fire the Ferrengi and higher more Engineers, Rom doesn't count.

    So was there a release note to this change?
  • Apparently the ship name "Faster Pussycat Kill Kill" is against Starfleet regulations. I have to admit, I found it more a source of amusement than fury. :D

    So wait does this mean we won't get Tilly's famous line as a sound byte then?

    I totally forgot about ingame comms to be honest. I can't use it due to fat fingers as every time I go to hit space bar I hit enter and there's no preview of message before sending.

    If you write a long enough sentence lag eats your message or the words dissapear to the left and can't read the full sentence.

    TL:DR use line and share awesome gifs and memes with your fleetmates and you won't throw your phone every time you want to type something

    So why censor ship names? Haven't they fixed the voyage bug where you see others names yet?

    Seemed like the other censor was sufficient.
    Let’s fly!
  • I've been waiting for months for them to fix the "Gauntlet Rank 1 Achievement" bug. Darned thing shows that I have something to claim... constantly, for months. I've put in numerous tickets to which I've been given no indication as to when it will be resolved, nor any "sorry-tons" to make me feel better.

    Now I can't even properly complain about the bug in the privacy of my own squad chat... I mean, seriously? Priorities?

    We're losing fleet members here, and you're losing $$$ DB. Get it together. Client side chat filtering is for kiddie browser games.
  • A few minutes ago, I sent a message to my squad leader in chat thanking him for sharing his immortalized T'Kumva in the current running event. The chat censor bleeped out the name T'Kumva. Twice. I'm still chuckling at how silly this is.
  • Priorities man ... priorities ....
  • It takes so stinking long to load your game on my phone, what did you expect would be coming out of my mouth by the time I get in game? Profanity, that's what. Fix the game, not the player base...
  • take Four Twenty off this censorship list please
