Guild Wars 2

I don’t know if anyone posted this already or not. But it would be nice if there was a short ding or tone or something to notify you when someone sends a Whisper to you.

I don’t always look at the chat window, and it would help me not miss the message, which probably offends the person who sent it because they think you just ignored them.

There is a light tone when you receive/send a pm, but it’s easy to miss. Making it more noticeable would help a lot. I’ve missed some too because of that.

Make it optional please! I am constantly whisper-bombed as it is. I do not need to be beaten with a ding bat as well.

I agree, the sound is so subtle that I don’t notice it most of the time. I don’t want whispers to bang a gong, but it could be more prominent.

Alternatively, it would be nice if the chat tabs get a graphical indicator of new messages. In another game I play that has this feature, I create a tab that’s just whispers, so I know if I see the tab light up that I have a whisper.

There is a sound now? really?
I have never noticed it and I have also missed whispers, especially if I’m on TS or crafting.
A light like the poster above me suggested would be great if you don’t want to be dinged to death

You can also make a tab that just shows whispers, which changes to an orange color when you get a whisper and your in another tab… I’m pretty sure UI volume slider in options controls how loud the ding is.
