FFR Weekly Devblogs: Improved Chat Filter!

Hey everyone! For this update we’re going to be going over one of the most important features in the game, the chat.

Many users may remember the original game’s chat left a lot to be desired. More often than not, saying simple things like NPC names, item names, locations, etc. would wind up being censored and unreadable.

This issue was caused by the game’s chat whitelist. A whitelist is a very large list of pre-approved words that users are allowed to use when chatting. This is done in order to ensure the safety and well-being of players interacting online. While well intentioned, the original game’s whitelist was lacking a large number of keywords and phrases necessary for players to be able to talk about the game they were playing. 

Fortunately, we were able to go in and create our own whitelist, which includes every word used in FusionFall itself, including names created using the name wheel. You can now talk about everything ingame you may need to! Additionally, we’ve included a massive library of other common words to ensure that communication between player is smooth. Just as well, we will constantly be updating the whitelist with any useful words and phrases we may have missed as they’re brought to our attention.

But, be careful to spell everything right, though, as if the word is not in the whitelist, it will be removed! Eventually, we may have a way for you to submit new words, too.

Thanks for reading this week’s update. Stay tuned for the next one!
