It's about time

We need to be able to color code in chat again just make certain colors unavailable to players, with all the RFR and spams of x's for grips. It gets hectic these days now if we could add some color to our party chat only! As general would be bad. that would be nice as we could set color codes per guild member or friends. Not getting into specifics just saying party member #1 blue aka Tom , #2 yellow aka **** , #3orange aka Harry, #4 purple aka Steve. #5 and 6 dont use it, If I see rfr in purple I know Steve is rfr whom is also F5. There are workarounds to this so why make us mess with ui settings outside of game bring it back make DDO colorful again!

#2 yellow aka ****

So if my Name is D!ck I have to say Richard ??? Nice one guys nice.

Also would pay for this as a feature kinda like realm teleport upon login

might not solve your issue, but you can create a chat group and color code it through the UI, create a new chat window, and set outgoing message to that specific channel, you can also disable party chat as an incoming chat in that new window

also you can use color in chat, its just... super hard and finicky and totally not worth the trouble

Not worth the trouble hex works fine they just need to enable it again. I dont recommend messing with data files it does break ToS. AFAIK

Yes, I can understand why the name "****" might be filtered, within the DDO Chat Channels (due to "bad" word associations). Even though is mealy a rhyming nickname for Rick, short for Richard.

I've never seen more than a couple of handful of people the entire time I've being playing DDO actually bother to colour Chat channel text. Though if it functions like the DDO Forum "word censor" I could see how it might be misused, etc. I certainly would prefer a different text colour for when people from my 'Friends' list logged on.

Not messing with game files via windows, I should not have to make a work around that breaks ToS for convenience. I would also accept different dead symbol or color for un-resable (red) and resable (yellow? Or green?) not that white thing that floats over your head and disappears first teleport after 10 seconds as you were too far from your soulstone, I die more often trying to res people by trying to see death timers than I do swinging melee on a caster. People are so use to death timers they wont res without rfr
Anymore even on Normal Killing Time!!!! So if possible take a few minutes out of your day and Make some kind of effort to make quality of life in game for the living to raise the dead at the very least.

... everything i just said are functions of the game you can use within, next time you play right click your chat tabs, you might be surprised
