I have chat turned off most of the time when I’m playing Last Epoch, since I’m not a huge fan of global chats in games. Every time I restart the game, chat is re-enabled, even though the disable chat toggle is still on; I have to uncheck it and then check it again to re-disable it every time I boot the game. The same is true of visible healthbars on myself and my minions, with the exact same way to fix it.
The chat issue is known - I personally find that if you change it in the settings rather than the chat window, it tends to “stay away” more reliably but its not always perfect when swapping from an online to offline char (or vice versa). I too hate the toxic world that is the chat.
I have always have the healthbars disabled so I have no idea if that one is messing up.
I’d recommend that you do a Game File Verificiation just to be sure your install is ok. Settings and the like can sometimes get a bit weird.
Most of the posts I’ve found when searching the forum is about “turning off” chat so I’ll just add my other chat-related concerns here, title-wise it probably fits here.
Unchecking chat regions also doesn’t save (Public, Direct and Party). I’d like my chat ON when playing with friends obviously, it’s just I want to turn off the global one since it buries the party chat log too fast. But this resets sometimes when changing zones.
Chat recipient sometimes reset when changing zones too. Having to click to “party” before I type my sentence is quite annoying (ofc I’m aware I could just do “/p [message]” whenever I press Enter key). How many times I’ve accidentally sent my message in Global chat too which is quite embarrassing.
Profanity filter–does this even work? I have it disabled from Esc->Settings and as well as from the gear icon in chat. The game still wont let me type some words that are censored for whatever reason even it’s not malicious. It’s really frustrating after typing quite a long sentence and then it just won’t send without warning even it doesn’t even contain any censor-worthy words in it. And what’s the point of having option to enable/disable if the game won’t let us type these “censored words” to begin with anyways?
EDIT: Not a bug but please allow chat to take priority when the stash is open. Sometimes I want to type something while I’m browsing my stash but I have to close it just so I can type. Having to re-type whatever keyword (or delete 1 letter) in the search bar every time I open my stash just adds more chore because the search resets after you close it but the keyword remains in the search bar. (I probably butchered the explanation on this one).
Regarding #3, I think the current filter is way too strict. I’d like some option to completely disable it in party chat especially when playing with friends.
