Guild Wars 2

Couldn’t find anything about this when I searched.. In GW1 if you hovered your mouse over a characters name in guild (Maybe friend list too but I didn’t have many on there) it would show in the tooltip: “Also known as <Alt character name>”. Was wondering if we could get that in GW2? Would just make identifying the many people I’ve added that much easier lol.

Alternatively a good idea would be to give us the ability to create our own groups within the contact list, so we can sort our contacts how we like in different sections rather than having a biiiig long list of online or offline people.

I would also like groups for friends. I can’t even remember half of the people on my friendslist

In GW1, that also known as thing would just show the name of the character they used to join the guild. They’ve replaced this with the account name showing instead of another character name.

With that cleared up, sorting contacts and an option to use the GW1 system of identifying characters in a guild would be great additions. I think sorting contacts would probably come first, and I doubt the character name option would ever be implemented simply due to the fact everything revolves around the account name as far as I can tell. Would probably require a bit more work than it’s worth for a minor convenience improvement.

agree, could barely keep track of my contact list of how / where did I meet those people.

Groups for contacts would be a useful function.

I made another thread suggesting a note section for each of our contacts where we could write a short bit of text regarding them.

You could write ’Bob’s alt’ next to a contact or ‘Met this person on FotM run. Good in group.’ or such. This could be combined with the ability to organize contacts in groups which would result in a much more robust and functional Contact List IMO
