I wonder if there are any plans to allow access to chat from multiple guilds, even ones which you are not currently representing? I can’t understand why this hasn’t been implemented already.

I have to say I’ve been really disappointed with the multi-guild system so far – the game really pushes players to find one huge, all-singing all-dancing guild and represent it all the time. I help run a social guild, but many of our members find it impossible to stay in touch if they want to do anything with a big high-influence guild, a WvW guild, etc.

For a while we tried to become that kind of do-everything guild, but our officers quickly got burnt out and frankly it’s not something any of us ever wanted to do. We just want a space to chat to each other and sometimes all represent together and go and do stuff.

A simple option to view guild chat from selected guilds – not just the guild currently represented – would be a huge help.

If this were to happen, then I’d like to see detachable chat tabs, so that we can have the option of seeing two seperate channels at once.

I’d also like to have custom chat channels.

+1 There was another thread a while back that suggested something similar, but didn’t get much reply.

My idea/suggestion would be, that the guild chat you are repping would remain the gold color and the non repping could be a more orange color/other color not currently being used. The guild chats will also have the guild tag before each message, so it would look like this (except one of the guilds would be the gold color instead of bold)

Name [XX] How is everyone doing today?
Person [XX] Doing good how about yourself?
Guy [abc] Dude, what are you doing we have to go over here first
Dude [abc] oo ok then

Name [XX] Doing fine just trying to finish up my daily
Guy [abc] next we have to go over here
Girl [lol] I’m off for the night later
Friend [lol] see ya
Player [lol] bye
Dude [abc] so do we need to grab these?
Guy [abc] we only need one of them

Boy [lol] night

Parameters would be only being able to talk in the current repping guild, that way it remains simple and they don’t need to add more /commands for talking in each guild at the same time. Also having the option to filter repping guild from non repping guilds from the chat menu, so that ppl who are in those huge guilds don’t have to see the wall of text going on in the guild chat if they don’t want to. Since it can seem confusing like in my example sorting out all the guilds.

Preferably I would want to be able to filter each guild itself, but I could live with just having all the non rep guild bunched together, since that would probably be easier to implement. I would have my normal chat just show my repping guild and have a tab for my non repping guilds. With the flash on unread feature I could see when my other guilds is talking which is what I would like.

Agreed, I can’t see why it would be difficult to have each guild listed in your chat tab menu, and being able to assign a colour to each. It would really be a huge help to smaller guilds and would make being in multiple guilds somewhat more worthwhile.
