As a co-guild leader, I find it very hard to make sure that all members of the guild receive announcements. These announcements are usually to do with informing them about events taking place a certain times. The current guild announcement system is not bold enough and people do not really check it regularly. In GW1, every time you logged in on a character, the guild announcement would pop up in the chatbox, this was so effective and I really don’t understand why it was removed.
So my suggestion is for ANet to implement a similar guild announcement system where characters can see the message once logging in. Using the new mail system, perhaps certain members of the guild should be able to send mail to all guild members notifying them of the event etc. Secondly, I find it really annoying that you cannot actually edit the guild announcement, everything just deletes and you have to write it from scratch. Again, this was something from GW1 which was removed upon the release of GW2. Thanks for reading the thread, let me know if you have any info regarding this, also post below if you agree/disagree.

This is certainly a topic that should be discussed and that all guild leaders should pay attention to. Don’t let this topic die.

Totally digging the idea. The pop up on chat Guild Message feature of the first Guild Wars game should come back.

I agree whole heartedly even though I know nothing about leading a bunch of nubs like Starrk here is currently doing!

To be perfectly honest, these ideas have floated around the forums since the first beta weekend.

The real question is, why the kitten hasnt Anet implemented them yet?? MOTD and guild/friend wide messages shouldnt be too difficult to do. Im by no means a developer, but comon… Can implement a new (dead as kitten now) map but cant do these simple quality of life adjustments that might have saved a few smaller early guilds?

Exactly, and like I said – those features were in GW1 too so I’m a little curious. Thanks for your comment.

I imagine the lack of this feature is due to the ability to be in multiple guilds. Still, I can’t imagine that it would be too hard to come up with a workable solution.

I also find it really annoying that you’ve to override the guild message. For example when you’ve your teamspeak info in there it’s really annoying to type the whole info everytime you change the announcement.

I have high hopes that the guild update will fix this. Signed, for both editing the message and having it display on sign in.

Guild leaders should be able to have new guild messages pop up (window) when a account is first logged in.
