Guild Wars 2

Hi, I know this must sound pretty stupid but I don’t understand how I get my written text seen by other players who aren’t in the immediate vicinity. I’ve tried typing /say before I writer anything and then proceed to ask if anyone can seen what I’m writing but no one replies. Am I doing anything wrong or is it just that everyone else is being antisocial?

/say is to chat to people who are pretty much right next to you. If you type in /map you will chat to everyone on the map.

is you want the whole immediate area, like a town or say for example “Plains of Ashford” then type in /yell. If you just want people around you at that moment to hear you type in /say

/yell is red

/say is green

I will admit the chat system workings are a bit vague as well. I had luck with /map and then typing. A solid channel selection screen and tooltip would be extra helpful in this matter.

Ah wicked, that makes sense I guess ha ha. Thanks guys!

No probs, usually all chats in most mmos are standard with

/yell
/say
/party
/guild
/friend (certain ones have this so only friends see what you type)
/whisper “characters name”
/map (some have this option where map is for the entire world or continent to hear you, different from yell, where usually only a small region can hear you)

I’m sure this is common knowledge, but I’m going to post it anyway.

/s
/m
/g
/p
/w (or /t)

no need to type it all out.

Also, you can easily see the channels available by clicking on the arrow pointing down next to “Main” on the chat panel. More info can be found on the wiki: http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Chat_panel
