Please let us turn off notifications in the chat

Every time my hero advances in his skill the chat window pops up. Every time something is entered into my journal the chat window pops up.
This is annoying as at least I don't want to see such things. In combat when I want to concentrate on what is going on and the hot bar every few seconds the chat pops up because I am advancing in some skill...

Please add an option to turn off such notifiactions.

 

For a quick workaround, just resize the chat to the smallest size you can get on some corner. That way you can get "in the zone" with less interruption.

 

Um, wouldn't that hide the chat from NPC's?

 

He just wanted it to stop bugging him during combat, right?

 

Wouldn't it just be better to add an option...don't you think?

I mean, he gets out of combat, resizes his window to talk to someone, goes to fight again resizes his window...rinse and repeat...sounds like an interface issue,

 

Yes, it would. That's why I said it's a workaround for now. Would you rather suck it up and wait until they implement the change?

Also, I think the skill increase text on the chat might be part of "Misc" category, if you unchecked that one, it wouldn't bother you anymore on R25. I'm not sure if it still the same as R26. That might just solve the problem. Give that a shot.

 

It did work! Thanks. But I had to disable it for every Tab.

I still think that this is not an ideal solution. There are too many steps involved in creating a dialogue window that is at least a little bit suitable.
1. We have to resize the chat window.
2. We have to move it to a position where it does make sense for a dialoge window to be.
3. We have to disable everything expect for NPC texts in the chat window
4. We have to do this for every TAB...

Who is doing all of those steps in order to finally get a dialogue window that can be used but still is not an ideal solution for such a window? Aside from many people not even knowing that we can do this or how we can do this...

 

Turn off advancement in any skill. Problem BRILLIANTLY solved.

Seriously, you could add a chat tab without the relevant source - I think it's "Misc" - and keep it active.
