Is it unreasonable to ask for a mute option to the transmorpher beacon?

I’m not asking people to not use the transmorpher beacon, if that’s what they feel like spending money on then so be it. But do everyone else really need to be spammed by 15 different wall-of-text-monologues in raids or BG’s? To have any audio clue be muddled by irrelevant voicelines, and models blocked by chatboxes?
I got ADD, keeping focus is not easy and I get distracted easily, this toy has just makes things harder.

I hope i’m not asking for a whole lot, I just want an option in the settings menu to mute verbal dialogue and the chatbox made from appearances of the toy, so i can focus on the raid.

There already is an option to mute emote sounds in the settings.

These should definitely be counted as emotes and therefore mutable with the option.

Hmm, sorry you have this feeling, doesn’t the ingame emote mute option work, of vocals? Forget what it is called.?

Atleast people use it way less than they used to, lucky for you right?

But yeah i can see why it can get annoying when about 10 people use it at the same time, you wont even be able to hear the lines of the boss

Yea, people can’t just say they find its irritating, they always have to have some condition to hammer the point home :roll_eyes:

I know what you mean but the “text spam” atm can not be filtered as far as i know which for hearing impaired players who need to see raid chat and warning the emote text can be annoying .
Not asking for anything to be removed just add a filter .
The voice emotes can be muted already and that’s what the OP in my mind was on about .

Under System > Sound there is a checkbox labeled “Emote Sounds”

I don’t know what you can do about the text boxes unless you remove them all.

i did a guild raid recently (rare cause im not on when they raid most of the time) and someone put a beacon up. i did wonder how the tanks and rl felt with all the text/talk spam every minute or so. it does clutter things up a lot.

i never considered it the couple times ive seen it in lfr, cause… well, lfr! lol

surely this only needs a tiny tweak? you dont emote/speak while in combat.

that way, you can have your fun before boss pulls, but 20-30 people spamming monologues every minute or 2 wont interfere with boss fights.

Turning off /yell would probably get rid of it but I haven’t tested it so I’m not sure.

My guild wasnt allowed to use it during Jaina prog due to our RL turning his volume up to call ship side. However instead of the ship all he heard was a bunch of irrelevant bosses from over 10 years ago

I filter the text emotes, into a different chat window. Boss emotes can be seperates from the rest. Check your chat settings.
