Guild Wars 2

If there is a way to set this already, forgive me for not knowing it.. I have looked all over and found nothing.

This would be a great feature for certain friends, or guild mates, so that we know who just left or just logged on.

There are chat options and chat channel options, which are specific to each chat tab. “Game Messages” is one of the channel options, which means you can enable/disable it on a per-tab basis.

I made this graphic for someone asking what their chat options were when letting their kids play, but it demonstrates where to find the channel options, so I’m reusing it. Hope it helps!

Go to chat options and select ‘game messages’. While it will start telling you a bunch of stuff you don’t need to know, such as every single item you loot, it will also tell you when people you have friended log on or off. It will say in chat, for example, Smashfist.9749 has logged on.

OP, don’t use the Q/A function if you’re not asking a question.

Not seeing that to turn on, in chat options..
Only “Show Timestamp”, “Show Channel Tag” and “Show In-World Bubbles”

But it was a question.. just in the wrong forum.

Awesome, that helped so much my friend, thank you.

Hmm. It may be in the game options at the top left of the UI, not chat options. It’s been a few months since I’ve looked for it.

You were close, Astral; it’s just in chat tab/channel options (the arrow) rather than chat options (the gear.)

You’re very welcome, Smashfist!
