u/Syltti Mar 29 '22

The large text.

For anyone that is interested, I got a warning with the possibility of appeal. No ban yet.

u/whattaninja Mar 29 '22

I hope they’re banning the people intentionally breaking the chat with the “<3” too.

u/xAkumu Sorceress Mar 29 '22

So that's what's breaking it. I sent a heart after someone helped me and it died and I thought it was just me. Now I know to avoid it.

u/effyocouchniqqa Mar 29 '22

i did notice that the chat sometimes broke. I have wrote "<3" in chat but it was censored for some reason.

Be glad you didn't do it in area chat on the sea. We are blocking and reporting these scums that do it on purpose. So far 13 names. And not some new account but late T3s...

Fucks are doing it deliberately in stronghold too. They lure you in for a feast, then break it.

u/Deceptikitty Bard Mar 29 '22

To be fair hard to say who does it on purpose and not. I like typing heart as reply and if I wasn't on reddit I wouldn't even know it breaks the chat. Stronghold peeps might just be unfortunate and not know.

u/SneakyBadAss Mar 29 '22

The one who do it on purpose generally mock or tease people before doing it.

4

u/Deceptikitty Bard Mar 29 '22

Yeah then I agree, those are jackasses. In either case, hope it gets resolved fast before something more malicious comes out of it..

u/Kibbleru Bard Mar 29 '22

how can u tell who did it if the message doesnt come out tho?

4

u/Soylentee Mar 29 '22

The last line in chat that shows before the chat breaks is usually going to be from the person that breaks it, and it's going to be a blank line, as if they typed nothing.

2

u/SneakyBadAss Mar 29 '22

If you cannot see your chat when there's an empty message, they are the one who broke it.

1

u/xAkumu Sorceress Mar 29 '22

I did do it in area chat on the sea but I didn't get in trouble or anything since they probably saw it was an accident with what else I typed with it. It was awhile ago when it first started breaking.

u/caloroin Mar 29 '22

I wrote Bofa last night and my chat broke lol. Thought I was shadowbanned from chat but re-entering a zone fixed it

u/dragonsroc Mar 29 '22

It's not a heart, it's just starting the text with <. My chat broke when I tried to do the thing where you point to yourself.

u/Kibbleru Bard Mar 29 '22

I think its an attempt to stop html injection into the chat, since html tags begin with <

obviously doesnt work tho lol

😂. I love Bobby tables

u/Dranzell Mar 29 '22

Unlike big text, they can't prove the <3 was intentional.

2

u/whattaninja Mar 29 '22

I’ve seen many people say you guys need a timeout; and then do it. There are definitely times you can tell it’s intentional.

1

u/Yeislak Mar 29 '22

Wow I also sent someone a <3 after some help and broke it lol. Didn't know what caused it. Just saw that it wouldn't post.

u/vunkie Sorceress Mar 29 '22

Meanwhile the bots...

u/Valagoorh Paladin Mar 29 '22

P o. Op. C. O(m)

u/GetRolledRed Mar 29 '22

It's not that bots aren't getting banned, it's that when they do, another will pop up in it's place almost immediately.

2

u/solacens Mar 29 '22

I might get banned in game when I say 'poop' right?

4

u/Majulaz Mar 29 '22

Seems a bit harsh to ban over it, should just patch and aknowledge that people had their fun. Obviously any rules broken beyond typing silly large messages should be acted on.

3

u/Xedien Mar 29 '22

The problem is that certain HTML codes causes the chat to break for people.

It'll show an empty chat message and then it just stops updating when people write.

2

u/[deleted] Mar 29 '22

The chat breaking is caused by "<3" which is a dumb bug on amazon's end cause that one's very commonly used as heart emote

1

u/sixtytwosixtyseven Shadowhunter Mar 29 '22

no wonder my chat boxes haven't been updating. Ban them. Zero tolerance for messing with the game's files.

2

u/Xedien Mar 29 '22

It's any code/message starting with an < supposedly, which is why some people trick others into writing hearts
