What is your suggestion?: To add a filter on yell to only show friends yells / game news

Is this in OSRS?: N/a

Has this suggestion been accepted already?: No

How would this benefit Alora?: I'm sure quite a few players besides myself play with yell off or on news only.

I think it would be beneficial to add a filter like public / private has to only show friends yells / news.

I have had yell off for quite a while because I don't really care to have my chat being spammed with messages, but would still like to see drops from people on my friends list.

Being able to filter chat in it self is always positive but even something as magic fang to someone who just started the game and has no idea how anything works. Im sure they also would want to be congratulated for their efforts. Even if its not to your standards.

Lol no.
If you wanna play singleplayer disable it all.

This would be an optional setting.
Your take away that people wouldn't be congratulated for their drops if this was ingame is an interesting view, if I'm already playing with yell off what would be the difference?

The suggestion is quite literally asking to show only your friends drops / yells, as opposed to playing with it off.
Not sure how you take that as wanting to play as single player?

no support i think i agree with all up here.... its the part of yell to see what we can see of all ppl who getting drops... if you dont wanna see it turn your yell off for your self?

[Tyrannitar]

Semi-support from me.

 

I can see the benefit of having friends-only filter, especially for people who mainly want to keep up with their friend' achievements and goals, without having to scroll through all the global announcements and drops from other players.

 

However, one concern is that if too many players would turn off yell messages, it could make it less useful as a community channel. New players often use yell to ask questions or seek help. It would be unfortunate if those questions went unnoticed simply because most experienced players have filtered out those messages.

 

Another thing to consider is that yell is a tool to build a community feeling with, between players who might not ohterwise interact. Seeing other people's drops, achievements and converstations spark interaction and does make the server feel more alive. I do think that's something very important to maintain.

 

I would maybe be in favour of adding the filter but than as an optional feature, without having the default setting changed. That way, players who want a cleaner yell chat can customize their experience without potentially hurthing the social aspect of this RSPS.

Quite a bit of players do have yell permanently off already.

If I don't like how it's setup currently, why am I not allowed to suggest a filter for it?

You realize all other game tabs have options to filter?

I personally don't think this setting would be widely used to where it would impact people getting assistance or taking away from the community feeling.

Anyone that would most likely use this setting is already playing with yell - off or on news only. 

The default filters would remain the same, just like public & private being set to 'On'.

[Heaven Sent]

There’s literally already an option for players to hide yell altogether, so what negative impact would adding an option to only see yell and global drops from added friends? Makes no sense to argue against it.

 

Full on this support this. Another solid suggestion from Mhk.

Any reason you care to share?
What is the downside with letting people control how their chat is filtered?

[Guy]

I would never use it, but I can see the appeal. Since it's possible to turn off yell altogether, I don't see why you shouldn't be able to also filter to friends. 

[saeed]

if all the tabs in chatbox has friend filter options (yes even trade tab lmao), don't see why yell can't have it either.  Should be in the game

I don't see the harm in adding this. I would assume that it would require very little dev time as well. Support from me

[Satan Smash]

Makes sense if thats what you want. SUPPORT 

I will say I feel like having this option sort of distances you from the community but if thats what youre after then so be it

Not really a downside but it goes against the charm of a private server. Sometimes we have to deal with dumb yell posts but other times we get a good unexpected laugh.

You can already turn yell off so I'm not sure how this would somehow have a worse effect.

Seeing the same edgy / cringe yells over time gets annoying, which is why alot of people play with it off.

Not adding a feature because you think people should be forced to see all of yell chat doesn't really seem like a good argument.

[Italy]

I don't really agree with those saying that this is distancing yourself from the community.
I think anything that lets you customize the game to your liking (and that can include have fewer interactions with/from random players) is fair and harmless...

I support this suggestion

[Mhk]

Adding this to clarify since some people like @Task Locked who are newer and maybe not as familiar with Alora think joining a CC for clog messages is a reasonable work around.

Saying I can join a clan chat for clog messages completely misses the point of what I'm trying to suggest.
Alora's clan chat is setup to announce for clogs, it is not setup to announce for valuable drops.
So, even though I am in the same clan chat with multiple people, the only way I could see something like @Cous getting his 5th twisted bow is to have yell on / news only, which would give me announcements for every single player online.

As I've said in my prior post, every chat can be filtered for friends only aside from Yell/News.
Adding an option to filter to yell seems to be the easiest way forward, I'd rather not try and suggest a clan chat overhaul to match OSRS's changes a while ago.
The only other feedback people are suggesting is to basically 'deal with it' and turn everything off.

[LordSmule]

Dont see anyway it could negativeely impact anything, having a friend or cc only option for yells would be nice, i dont personally play like that, but there are times i want yell to hush and that would be nice to have to swap on rq for the time being. Support

[Neuro]

i personally enjoy having my yell overrun by bloody chest spamming

 

support!
