Guild Wars 2

Entered game of Keg Tossing in Hoelbrak and picked a team and started playing. Unbeknownst to me I believe the Chat changed from its default to a more blood-red color with ‘TEAM’ leading the line. Decided early on in the game that it was not for me and next tried to figure out how to get out of the game diplomatically. Don’t recall seeing any mention of how to leave the game. Waited for a game to end and discovered I was immediately starting up in a new game of Keg Tossing.

Frustrated I quit the server and restarted the game. I thought this had worked and finished Hoelbrak exploring 100% when I realized that the Chat was still stuck on this blood-red ‘TEAM’. I can’t get rid of it. I even went back to Hoelbrak tried another game but this time declined. It made no difference.

I have all the chat ‘/’ function unchecked—‘/Team’ never was checked to my knowledge. No change.

What ‘/’ option should I check, if any, to override and communicate with in-game support that can help me? Right now because I think it is stuck in the ‘TEAM’ mode I can’t communicate with anyone.

The ‘TEAM’ is in brackets like this ‘[Team]’. Also, when I type something in the Chat line it says, ‘You are not on a Team’. This suggests to me that something is really screwed up because I right now cannot Chat with anyone.

How do I get this sorted out? I’ll delete one of the crossposts when the issue is resolved.

Sounds like your using the /team channel. You can change to quite a few other channels like:

/map – to chat globally in the zone (Queensdale) you are in.
/say – to chat locally to nearby people.
/yell – travels a little bit further than /say.
/guild – to chat in your guild channel.
/party – to chat to only your party members.

Most of these can be used by their first letter, like ‘/m hey’ would post [map]hey.

You can also click on where it says “Team” to the left of your text and have a list of channels appear.
