Mute "General" chat channel

[On-Fire Dude 2]

Is there a way to mute the "General" chat channel? I've searched the forums and scoured the options I could find in game, to no avail...

There's not a one button on/off switch, as convenient as that would be.  However, you can remove it (and any other channel) and/or set it however you want it to be:

Right click the tab, choose "Edit", find General in the list on the left, and hit "Remove".

Yes. Right click the chat tabs to edit them.

 

'Some' have moved the General chat to an alternate tab. Once that is setup as Lazarillo suggested, it is effectively an on off option.

Knew it was probably something easy I was just missing. Thanks, for the help.

Happy to try and help. It's a HUGE game, ask the forum and answers will appear.

As others said, can edit the tab. 😊

I recommend having a few tabs, works well for me.

I have a normal, with things like team/help(I spend a lot of time on help answering questions)

LFG, for when I want some action!

”Quiet Time” for when I’m just enjoying a quiet solo experience. This tab only has private messages and npc chat. I use it for storylines where I want to get immersed or if I just want less chatter.

 

I actually never use general chat, but feel it would be too “noisy“ for me.

“Mute” General tab. Sounds like a great idea.:-)

 

I remove that and Help from my main channel to reduce clutter. All the “buildbabble” and other crunchy stuff is beyond my capability, so I leave that to the gearheads. Any other question I could answer is usually answered by someone else more quickly and better than I could do it, so Help stays off. I’ll help others when teaming, or if I get asked a question. If I need help, I usually go to the forums or find a wiki (which I wish more people would do—there’s a lot of good stuff written down). 

 

Of late, I’ve devoted one tab to nothing but NPC chatter for when I solo. It can be a helpful boss finder on large maps.
