read most recent patch notes- filters have been added, you may need to readjust. from https://forums.daybreakgames.com/eq/index.php?threads/game-update-notes-january-17-2024.295544/ Made the following changes to chat filters: Direct Damage and Damage Over Time filters have been split into Yours, Your Critical Hits, You Being Hit, Others, and Other Critical Hits. Healing filters have been split into Yours, Your Critical Heals, Heals Received, Others, and Other Critical Heals. Added a separate chat filter for others' melee critical hits, Others Hits (Critical). Moved auto attack on/off and other attack-related messages to the Melee Warnings chat filter. Also renamed 'Too far away (melee)' to 'Melee Warnings' in Chat options. Added new chat filter 'Chat Channel Info' for universal chat messages such as output from commands /list and /autojoin. Created new chat filter for Consider Messages generated by right clicking or using /consider on a target.
The made changes to the melee and spell filters. You'll need to adjust your chat settings for hiding/showing stuff and see what things are being filtered there in those two categories, and then move them somewhere else.
oh and FWIW- I always right click main chat and select all, then spells / all and melee /all (as "all" misses these) and dump everything into 1 chat tab. Then I add windows and pull out what I want in each - /tell and /who to one window, /g, /gu /rs to a 2nd, all MY melee and spells to a 2nd tab in main, everything else, /ooc , /yell, /say /emote /shout and system messages to last window and eveything else remains in main (spam) On newer characters I pull out skills too. 2053
