I find it emphatically ridiculous that no one on these boards ever complains about guildchat in this game.

It is unreliable, and not everyone wants to be on teamspeak 24/7.

HOW is this not a priority for the devs?

I agree 100% this needs to be fixed

I don't complain, I firmly request change. See also #2 of the Top 5. Hopefully I can have some Dev responses to those Top 5 issues for you all soon. This has been a pretty slow development week with the Holiday, but I'm hoping things will pick up this week.

Well, speaking of GuildChat... why can't/doesn't it integrate with Spatial like *most* other systems? Switching to the GuildChat channel effectivly deafens you to anything else going on around you (which, for some reason, seems to be an important thing to keep tabs on) so IMO makes a special tab for guildchat only rather pointless (unless you're just sitting around the Hall having a meeting or a general BS session with no environmental changes or MOBs).

I'm not sure I follow you there Newton.

I have 2 chat panes, with 4 tabs on each. Depending on what I'm doing I use different combinations of the 4 tabs. Set within these tabs I have :

Spatial : spatial (default), guildchat, groupchat, private messages, system messages

Guild : guildchat (default), private messages

Group : groupchat (default), guildchat, private messages

Combat : combat, system messages

For example, most of the time I have the "guild" tab active on the main window, and "spatial" on the second one. This way I can see spatial chatter at the same time as using guildchat as the default.

Newton, whileit's not really necessary, I've resorted to four chat panes:

The multitabbed main one, to switch from spatial to group to guild when I'm typing to chat.

A combat spam only window immediately above that.

A small guild chat window to the right

A small spatial window above the guild chat window.

This lets me monitor all the various communcations around me that are important simultanously. The only problem is when I fail to switch back to spatial in the active box and I tell my guild to group or heel. Then I get spammed with smartass remarks.

I have been able to add guild chat to my spatial.
