Game Messages are now Limited

It sounds like your filter settings somehow changed. Have you tried fiddling with them?

Wait. Since when does typing /stuck actually do anything? It never actually did anything before.
And yeah, it sounds like some checkboxes got unchecked in your chat box.
When you use /stuck in the open world, it suggests that you use the nearest waypoint. However, in a story instance, it seems to teleport you back to the nearest checkpoint. I’ve had to use this once in one of the HoT stories.
To be honest, game messages have always been kinda buggy. Often some of the AFK messages don’t arrive before you get kicked, or you’ll get double copies of the same message. Sometimes none of them will show up at all in chat nor on screen, as I’ve been standing there chatting (guild/party/say never mattered doesn’t count as activity) and got kicked with no warning. It has always been this way, even going back to GW2 release (and yes, bug reported but eventually you give up doing so as it seems intended/whomever reads the reports doesn’t care/they can’t fix it)
As for /stuck, I didn’t even know for a long time that they had added anything to that command because even if put it in, no message ever arrived, until one day in a LS2 story mission #7 when it was released, someone was stuck and told them to do it as a joke (they also played gw1), they got a message and waited it out, was teleported to checkpoint. I’m not sure when the /stuck command was updated to function this way. However, it has not been consistent on giving the messages at all, so this is nothing new.

I recently used it in Southsun, to no effect.

Open world accomplishes nothing really, although it’s supposed to tell you to use a waypoint. I thought they had removed the message though.

Yes, I deleted my “main” chat tab and recreated it from scratch with game messages enable. I also, enabled game messages on my other tabs as well. I noticed the change either the day Wintersday was removed or the week prior. The /stuck has been consistent with giving me a message since 2014. When it comes to picking up items, I always got notifications of the items I picked up….
Wait
I remember now! Ever since I maxed out Pact Mastery for quick AoE autoloot, I stopped receiving several game messages. I got Pact Mastery, right before Wintersday was removed. However, when I disable autoloot the items still do not appear in game messages..when I pick them up manually.

That issue with game messages was there before. As for looting not showing, not only do you need Game Messages checked, you also need Inventory checked now in the submenu by clicking the triangle.

Oh wow, thank you. I didn’t notice they expanded on Game Messages and gave it a sub menu. It must of had inventory selected a long time ago and was enable by default when HoT was released.
