Guild Wars 2

At the moment I’ve begun doing all my emotes in /say, which is an awkward solution but it solves all three problems: it’s easier to read, it doesn’t double my name, and it doesn’t have the world’s biggest visibility range. I would love for ANet to give us a better answer to the emote situation than this, though. Can we at least get a response confirming you guys are aware of the problem, please?

Good idea; I’ve sent them a tweet and posted on the facebook page, as well. Maybe I’ll throw another post on 2rp suggesting others do likewise. Maybe also I’ll tweet at them again later, during business hours (ArenaNet are west-coast based, right?). Roleplayers get so little recognition to begin with, but this is just so blatantly bad.

The weird thing to me has always been that you couldn’t choose custom colors for chat channels. I’ve never played a single MMO aside from GW2 where that wasn’t a thing. That’s neither here nor there, though… The grey-on-dark (or transparent) background thing is not great, but it is not my biggest issue. The awkward double-name thing is.

They can’t really ignore it if we effectively band together and make our voices heard; the problem is that RP communities tend to fracture and not unite around any singular cause/website/group/et cetera.

I really can’t imagine the double-name thing would be difficult to fix. The other changes (to the color, and the range) would be gravy, but the duplication seriously just looks like hot garbage.

Whatever they did to emotes, they look REALLY sloppy now. A fix would definitely be appreciated!
