Guild Wars 2

I recently searched on Google to see if Guild Wars 2 had some sort of notification system, so you’d get an alert whenever a friend logs on and off and I found this thread:

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/players/friend-login-logoff-alert

However, I can’t seem to find the setting they are talking about in the thread above. Does this feature still exist or has it been removed?

Thanks in advance.

Notifications for friend logins/logouts are in the chat options, one of the buttons down on the chat itself. Fiddle around there and you should find it!

I somehow still can’t figure it out. I apologize, but could you perhaps include a screenshot?

The game’s screenshot function doesn’t seem to want to work when I have the submenu you’re looking for open..

Anyway, go to your chat window. It’ll say “Main” at the top, assuming you haven’t customized it. There’s a down arrow to the left of “Main”. Click it, and a list of options to display inside that chat will appear. Go down to “Game Messages” near the bottom and turn it on. Now you’ll be notified as people on your friends list log in and out.
