Guild Wars 2

I know that the devs have so many other things on their To Do list, but there is something that would make the lives of RPers waaaaaaaaaay better (and wouldn’t hurt other types of players).

-Shorter say range. That’s it! That’s all we really need at the moment that would make things a lot easier (and probably cut down on people trying to get into areas they shouldn’t be in just to get OUT of the massive say range). I’ve seen people argue that the say range is huge for WvW and dynamic events … but I’ve never once seen anyone use it for that. Ever. The appropriate channels are there for a reason, plus the say range is so massive that even if someone goes “hey come help me!” you spend the next five minutes trying to figure out where the heck it came from.

So please, please, please. Cut the say range down. I know it’s not as big as it could be, but it’s still so massive and on huge servers it does nothing to prevent confusion.

I’m not a RPer but I think the /say range is perfect as it is.

Then I have to ask what the heck are you using the say range for, and is your server very populated?

Because even when doing casual PvE stuff or running around, I can never figure out where someone’s talking from with /say. It’s so huge that I just have no idea.

I’m genuinely curious though, since you’re not a RPer and you seem to enjoy the /say range, how often do you use /say where you found it vital to have that much range?

That may be so, but the /em range is even larger. How does that even make sense?

I use /say chat to talk to the people around me in PvE about events, ask for help, or just casual conversation.

In WvW, I use it very frequently to instruct or warn people the people around me. “need supply on this ram”, “~20 incoming west”, “kill that dolyak asap”, “2-3 on me to take the camp”, “outer north gate down”, “take the dredge and follow through to rogue’s”, “don’t waste supply on the walls til their treb is down”, “don’t chase the thief, he’s just wasting our time”, “behind us”, “supply check”, “2m left on [Righteous Indignation]”, “get inside now”, “no more rams”, “brb, someone man this treb, full range”, “waypoint and run back if you die”, “get the camp before the tower”, “ignore the grub”. Those are all examples of things I often use /say chat for in WvW, and the chat range makes them reach exactly who I want them to.

And I’m on the Sorrow’s Furnace server, which isn’t full but still has a large population.
