Audible ping when players whisper you
There is a sound in-game when you get or send a whisper to someone.
I noticed the in game ding for whispers is almost a whisper in it’s own right. I never hear it over in game sounds.
I was thinking can a separate tab/chat window be set up with a mark on it. LOTRO has this and a much louder ding makes sure i never missed whispers.
Oh, it must be very quiet then as I never hear it either. Maybe its volume can be increased somewhere?
I have my options set to turn down the sounds from the default for almost everything except the music & dialog which may be why I hear the whisper sound. I agree it’s not as loud as it was in GW1, but it is an improvement from GW1 in that it pings with each & every whisper (instead of GW1 where it only pinged for the first whisper from a new person & you could miss subsequent whispers).
Personally as someone with slight hearing problems I would like to see something visual. An option for a bubble reminder such as in LOTRO if you miss a tell would be great. It would only need to flash up for a second, so i know i’v missed someone.
Or as i said a separate tab would be super.
I’ve noticed some people mentioning this problem, that you can’t really hear when someone sends a whisper.
But the sound is there, I always hear when someone sends me a whisper.
What I also do, might be a bit irrelevant, I make a new chat tab that only has Party, Guild, and Whispers showing, this way I can talk on which ever channel without Map chat spamming the whole way through. Also helps me refer back to certain sayings much quicker.
Oh awesome, so you can make a separate chat tab is there somewhere that tells me how to do that? For me that would help a lot.
Yeah, I am pretty much always only in my special chat tab in which I’ve enabled guild, party, whispers & say on. The map chat gets too inflammatory at times, so I hardly ever look at it.

Click on the plus sign ( + ) on the right of the tabs. There you can select which channel you want showing on that tab only and rename it.

Thank You very much, I will do that.
Lol I refuse to believe the people saying there’s a noise when sending/receiving messages.
Yeah, I also have created a tab for party, guild, etc, but when guild chat is active you can easily miss a whisper. I will have to play about with the sound settings to see if I can improve it. As my hearing is not perfect (constant ringing) it would be nice to have a louder sound, or as Morfae mentioned a visual que.
There must be many who have hearing impairments that would benefit from a visual que. Perhaps its something that the powers that be could consider. It would be such a help. I wonder how hard it would be to add a slider to the audio for the ping sound!

Do you play with the volume low or something? Maybe it simply doesn’t work for some people (bug/glitch). But there is definitively a sound that plays when I get a whisper, I hear it very clearly, its a distinct sound and without looking at the chat I know I just got a whisper.
