Well, this is an issue we’re being suffering for months now. It never used to happen until a few months ago.
The issue
Whisper chat won’t connect instantly, instead it will do after a delay.
Example
You right click someone from guild/friend list and select “whisper”. Nothing happens. You go around, explore a bit, maybe even kill some enemies, fight back, then out of nowhere your character stop moving/attacking because the focus on the game swapped to the chat and you are writing “wwwsdadw1121122121266666”.
Detailed problem
You can’t send whispers with right click since the game first would try to make the connection (creating the purple chat options) before it allows you to type anything. This is an issue with your account being unable to ask for a new connection with the whispers server.
Workarounds
1: If you use the chat commands “/tell nameofplayer texttosend” and press Enter. The delay will still happen but whenever it gets processed (maybe 10 minutes later) the game will send the message that you typed earlier. This seems to point out that it was on a queue.
2: If you can’t send whispers to anyone because of this delay bug, we noticed there’s a way to force a working connection. How? with a Reply. I mean… you can’t send new whispers, but if anyone whispers you, you can reply back with no delay at all. This one seems to point out there’s a connection already created by the other player and your account uses it.
It’s often? Happens to more people?
Daily. We commented it a lot of times on teamspeak and sometimes more than 15 guildies are unable to send whispers while 1-2 players can do it. If you need this issue recorded on video or whatever, please ask for it.
Please fix it, it’s getting me killed more often that i’d like to admit and we’re getting into social troubles sometimes since you can’t send a whisper to anyone before it logs out because of the delay.
