Guild Wars 2

I just want the 5 different guilds you can be in to have select-able colors The one you’re currently representing can still be gold, but oh my gods. When even two guilds are talking at the same time and you accidentally were representing some jumping puzzle guild you joined temporarily. It’s just this awful grey mess, and it’s worse if they have names of a similar length. Then when you represent your normal guild it won’t affect what’s already been said to make it more clear T^T.

Any whooo. More colors for guild chat just so we can know who’s talking, or at least have more options to. I definitely want some of the guilds I’m in right now to stay grey so please keep that as well. People get mad if you force optional options.

Random arguments against:

You can just make a new chat tab that only receives messages from each guild. That’s an option, but it doesn’t help if you want to see everything. There’s no notification noise you can set up for the other chats. So the separate chat tabs isolate you Then your guildies and friends you didn’t notice think you’re afk when you don’t respond and get off.

You can use a third party thingy doodle. Third party thingy doodles can be great, but I don’t want to look outside the game for a simple change that I know will help out a good hefty chunk of the player base.

You can just get gud.

i like this idea even tho i am not in a guild at all right now by choice . still nevertheless

i love this suggestion fully !! +10 . many reasons why . and i do think the devs could

do this without much of a problem with out any addons, need at all . but something

says i do not think they will do so . as if they had it been done already . maybe they

will see this and like the idea too .and get it done

I’m pretty sure that this is why they invented chat tabs.
It makes the whole chat a bit messy since you have to click through a few tabs, but you’re able to split different guild chats easily. I still like the color thing, but I’m not sure if it would increase the readability of a crammed chat very much.

edit: sorry, missed your paragraph about tabs.
Since they get red whenever something new was posted in there, I don’t have much problems with overseeing important messages.

I thought the repped guild showed the posting person’s name in bright gold, and non-repped in dull gold, with the guild number at the start of each line? I don’t see any “grey” text, and I’m the vocal proponent of brightening up the horrid grey emote text so I am on record as sensitive to it.

I haven’t had any trouble telling which of my guilds is chatting, though admittedly of my set of guilds only two have regular chatter going.

That said, I fully support client customization of chat colors. We all have different hues that stand out to us or please us, and some are color blind, so this would be a major QoL for almost every player. (Plus it might let me finally get a better emotes color )
