Guild Wars 2

As of Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns, this will no longer be a problem; we’ll be introducing cross-guild chat. From your main guild panel, you’ll be able to assign which guilds you can chat to with new channels, /g1 through /g5. You can then decide which channels will be visible in your chat tabs. The existing guild chat channel, /g, will continue to chat to your currently represented guild.

Say I am in the following guilds:

g1 : [BORE]
g2 : [LAME]
g3 : [SADD]

And I am following all three channels in my chat panel.

*If someone in BORE, and another person in LAME, both type something in guild chat, how will we know which guild chat to respond to?

Will g1/ and g2/ be different colors?

Or maybe, players can have their currently repped guild tag [BORE] or [LAME] between the user name and their comment?

Hurray, another chance for me to lobby for custom chat channel colors! There should also be an identifying number or name at the start of the line, yes, but ooooooh how wonderful it would be if we could assign preferred colors to each guild. And to all our other chat channels because I cannot stand the dull faded grey of emote text.

Another keen thing would be the ability to re-order the guild number assignments later on. I might be heavily involved with two guilds and not with my other three, for example. Then one of those two big ones fades away, and my little-touched guild five becomes a bigger use of my time. I’d like to be able to move that to /g2 and shuffle the faded one to /g5.

(This may not be an issue in ANet’s implementation. But in TESO it drives me nuts that every time I visit the guild bank or pull up the guild panel it defaults to the first guild I joined and I have to tell it to swap to the active one I’m in. This matters even more because the guild bank there doesn’t always load after a swap and then I have to relog which is a very long process there … grrrr … yet I don’t want to quit my /g1 guild because it’s made of my GW2 friends).

Can we make this happen ArenaNet??

They stated you could make custom tabs. " You can then decide which channels will be visible in your chat tabs."

That’s already how tabs work. What we’re asking for is for a means of easily customizing visibility of chat channels within one tab to suit what triggers our individual attention. Ergo, color choice and swapping around assigned numbers, neither of which yet exist.
