As it stands, with every HC character death above level 9 spamming the chat, I've noticed that it annoys a lot of the newcomers to the server and is, imo, detrimental to the HC community (from the unintentional backlash from the non-HCs as well as from adding a lot of needless spam in guild chat). The messages might have been ok to be this low when the population was 10 times smaller, but now it's gotten to be more annoying than interesting to see a death, especially since most shown are below 20.
Also, even if there is a command to hide these messages, most don't know about it and won't go looking for it if they don't even know it's possible.
My suggestion is to increase the default minimum level required for a death system message to 20 (from 10). The level-up message can be left as it is.
Increase the minimum level for HC system messages
Re: Increase the minimum level for HC system messages
Do you know the command .hcmessages 20? This will hide all hc messages below 20. If you want to hide everything belpw 60, do .hcmessages 60. I usually go for .hcmessages 40 or .hcmessages 50. It hides all the level up messages as well, but solves part of your problem.

Re: Increase the minimum level for HC system messages
Honestly HC messages should probably be disabled by default for non-HC players, enabled by a command for those who wish to see them.
Because frankly, non-HC players kinda just don't care

Re: Increase the minimum level for HC system messages
Yeah, you can set it with a command, but it'd be nice if the default was changed to level 20 or something. Vast majority of HC characters never make it past 10-15.

That is prob insane to even consider.... lv 10-15 is like the entry part of the game and easiest potion lol.Getplucked wrote: ↑Wed Jun 07, 2023 5:21 pmYeah, you can set it with a command, but it'd be nice if the default was changed to level 20 or something.

Re: Increase the minimum level for HC system messages
At least it seems that way based on my own experiences. In the 1-10 zones, there's HC gravestones all over the place. In 10-20 zones, there's much fewer. Past level 20, like into zones like Duskwood or Hillsbrad, gravestones are pretty rare.
