Guild Wars 2

GW2 doesn’t remember all of my settings when I log out and back in again. Please remember:

- My CHAT preferences. I always use the Guild tab, and always set it to speak in Guild. When I switch characters, the Guild Chat window has reset iteself to speak in SAY. I can’t count how many times I’ve accidentally told the local crowd “BRB – Potty”.

- My DYE SORTING preferences. It is only logical to sort by HUE, especially as we get more and more dye. Occasionally I will temporarily sort by MATERIAL (metallics have more contrast). But what the heck good is sort by “SET”, and why do we always default to that when we restart the game?

- My GW-MAIL Messages. There is no send-to-multiple-recipients ability, so please don’t erase my message from the body of the letter when sent. Let me select a new recipient and resend the same info again without retyping (as there is no copy and paste ability).

- My NOTIFICATIONS. If I minimize my Daily Achievements, I want them to STAY closed until I open them again. And if I open them, I want them to STAY open until I close them again. Right now they have a mind of their own. (This is not a log in/log out issue. It never holds your preference for any length of time).

Please remember the names of my pets when I change the 4 main pets, too.

I completely agree, please remember my settings GW2!

Yes, Gabby! An important one! Ranger Pet names too! (You should be able to name ALL of them and have it stick. How much space on their servers does a brief list of names take up?)

All of these things, yes

If you log out of a character and log back in the Chat will stay set to Guild…
The reason it doesn’t do this when you CHANGE character is because you can have different characters in different guilds. By resetting the Chat to /say there is a system in place to remind people that they aren’t necessarily talking to the same guild as they were on their other character. I realise that this can be inconvenient when all your characters are in the same guild, but it’s there for a reason and it isn’t a bother.

As to the dye, are you seriously changing your armour’s colourings often enough for this to be an issue…

Achievements panel – I agree so so much…. The Hero panel needs to stop being strictly the hero panel. There should be separate shortcuts for the Achievements panel and the Skills/Traits panel, and when I go to the Achievement panel it should show me exactly what I was looking at last time -_-. It’s a massive pain the way it is at the moment.

you can copy ingame if you use the shortcut for copy and you can past the same way.
the shortcut is “ctrl+c” and past is “ctrl+v” on windows

the rest i cant help with tho

It is a bother. That’s why I want it corrected. But there’s always a compromise; they could put the Guild TAG into the equation, so you see you are addressing Guild [PoP] or Guild [ATM] or whatever.

Yes. I fiddle with it all the time. Lots of armorholics do.

Thanks, Korsbaek… I’ll give that a try!
