The early access period for Dawntrail began yesterday. I thought I would try to cover the patch notes like what I have done for the last few EVE Online expansions. I have to put in similar because I do have a real life job and CCP drops their patch notes on Fridays so I have the weekend to work on them.

| Two days until the official launch of Dawntrail |
This fourteenth post in the series will cover information labeled "System" in the patch notes: Blacklists, Mute Lists, and Term Lists. I do not plan on covering all the items in the System section of the patch notes as some of the items are a little to esoteric even for me, but I figure these additions and updates are of enough interest to warrant a post.
The Blacklist - Many of the features were requested by those who wind up with unwanted fans or toxic enemies. New blacklist functionality will not be applied to characters tied to a blacklisted character's service account if they were registered prior to Patch 7.0
- Characters registered to the blacklist will be hidden. When joined in a party or alliance, their character will be displayed; however, their name will display as "Unknown" in the party list and on their nameplate.
- Messages from characters registered to the blacklist will be hidden. When joined in a party or alliance, a notification will be displayed when they speak during duties.
- After receiving a notification of blacklisted messages, players may elect to temporarily see what was written via the subcommand menu.
- Blacklisting will apply to all characters tied to the blacklisted character's service account. Blacklisting for party recruitment will now also apply to all characters tied to a service account. A system message will be displayed if a blacklisted player joins a party you're in, or if you join a party that contains a blacklisted player.
- The Blacklist tab has been removed from the Social window, and will now be displayed in its own window found under Social in the main menu.
- Players can now save comments regarding blacklisted characters.
- Blacklisted characters and all characters tied to their service account will also be subject to the Lodestone blocked users list.
The Mute List - The Mute List is an addition for Dawntrail. The Mute List can be found under Social in the main menu.
- Messages from Muted Players
- Muting will apply to all characters tied to the muted character's service account.
- While their messages cannot be seen, if they are members of your party or alliance, a notification will be displayed when they speak during duties.
- Players can also save comments regarding muted characters.
- Temporary Display of Muted Messages
- After receiving a notification of muted messages, players may elect to temporarily see what was written via the subcommand menu.
Term Filter - Once registered to the Term Filter, any messages containing designated words can be hidden from the chat log.
Display of Filtered Terms - The Term Filter can be applied to hide the display of registered words in one of two ways:
- Display the applicable term filter's number. A system message will be displayed, indicating the term filter applied to the chat log. (e.g. "Message could not be displayed due to Term Filter 1.")
- Hide the affected message in its entirety. Messages containing a registered word will be completely hidden.
Registering Words to the Term Filter - Words can be registered to the Term Filter in one of two ways:
- Players can freely register words as they see fit via the Term Filter List window.
- Select a desired word in the chat log, then register it via the subcommand menu.
Half-width and full-width spaces, as well as words from the auto-translation dictionary, cannot be registered.
Up to ten words can be registered to the Term Filter list, each with its own individual settings.
- Shout
- Yell
- Say
- Tell
- Custom Emotes
Saving Registered Words
- Term Filter settings are saved locally.
- When playing on a different platform, words you wish to be filtered must be registered anew.
