Guild Wars 2

Yay for random titles!

But it actually is relevant. What I’m getting at is that it’d be nice if there were some sort of sound effect to let you know when someone either whispers you or invites you to a party as sometimes I’m too concentrated on something to notice and I end up ignoring someone unintionally. I know GW 1 had a nice little “ding” sound when someon pm’s you and I thought it’d be nice to have one here as well.

I am almost sure there is a whisper sound alert- it is subtle but it is there.
In the beginning I missed it completely and ended up ignoring quite a few people.
May be a little light in the chat panel that blinks to alert you of a message could be helpful?
Maybe not, that would just be annoying

You can try making a chat tab for whispers and such. It’s not an ideal solution but it can help.

I’d be in favor of this, only if it was something that could be disabled. I don’t really want an IM ding breaking my immersion any further than the existing stuff does.

There actually is a small light, a small 1 second flash to be exact. Alas , if I am in a dungeon, all the other particle effects get my attention.

I too agree that this should be included, a stronger sound and/or a permanent weak flash could do the work

There is a whisper sound alert. It’s faint, and can’t be heard over any other noise if you are playing.

there is sound for whisper but no sound for pt invite. i would like to have one. it can be the same sound i dnt care. this way when i put lfg i can minimize the game and do something else and still hear when i get pt invite.

/sign this as well. I know there is a sound, and maybe they made it quiet because people said it was too loud in GW1. But now it is too quiet, so maybe give it a slider in Options.

I’ve missed alot of party invites & whispers etc. So i agree with this.

It would obviously be optional.

There is a sound for party invites too, and its also very faint.

I’d love this cuz I alt tab a lot and do other things often when I’m playing, I did it in GW1 a lot also, but in GW1 I could hear when someone PM’d me. If I’m lfg.com-ing in GW2 I have to keep tabbing back periodicity to see if any invites for those times when I rather do something else while I wait.
