Daraku.2106 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Pretty much the title. Obviously the roleplayer chat group would be disabled by default but when checked in chat channel selection box players would be able to view and switch to the roleplayer channel (via /rp). The channel would function identically to /say (you would have to be near whoever send the message like in /say) except you can't see the text if you don't have the roleplayer chat group enabled including all emote text (like "player bows") and /me even though all emotes with animations would still play the animations normally for all players even if they aren't in the RP channel.

choovanski.5462 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 normally these end up filled with awful nsfw rp. I have read some of the funniest things in the BDO rp chat. great idea OP, I bet gw2 can come up with some deeply cringe-worthy rp's. maybe they will even get a villain as incredible as Dremlock, I doubt it somehow tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's fine like it is now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palador.2170 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 "I put on my Occultist's Robe and Wizard's Hat." "No you don't. You can't wear them both at the same time. One's armor, one's an outfit." "Well... kitten." But seriously, I think it would be more conductive and likely easier to just decrease the range of /say and especially the emotes.

Rauderi.8706 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 > @Palador.2170 said: > **especially the emotes.** THIS. And link the speaker's name to the menu option for block/report as well. It would really cut down on the chat/emote spam some people feel compelled to do.

Stand The Wall.6987 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 I don't rp but I would want this so I don't get plagued by troubling text that seems to pop up out of no where. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daraku.2106 Posted September 22, 2017 Author Share Posted September 22, 2017 The main reason why I want a RP chat is so that RPers can RP wherever they want and potentially they can deselect all forms of chat except /rp and get a more immersive experience without bothering everyone else. I remember once I was doing a trek with my guild and we all congregated on a single location in the black citadel where several RPers happened to be RPing. One of my guildies didn't have a single WP in the black citadel and we all stared awkwardly at the RPers who had to pause their RP for 3-5 minutes while the newbie tried to figure out how to get to us. On another occasion a group of 15 RPers were RPing next to the Royal Terrace. 14 of them were doing a normal RP but one of them was spewing tons of NSFW crap into chat and triggering my guildies so we all used the snowball transformation and clogged up all the doors and windows of the building he was in until the annoying RPer went away. A separate RP chat would prevent both of these problems. Considering they added a bunch of emotes towards the beginning of LWS3 specifically for RPers and they keep mentioning RPers on stream I'm assuming the RP community is big enough to merit their own chat group (I suggested keeping the RP channel to /say range to avoid it getting clogged with NSFW crap like it is in BDO and so multiple groups of RPers can be in closer proximity to each other although it might be better if the radius was even smaller than /say).

sorudo.9054 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 I don't see why not, it's just a chat channel and filters can solve the NSFW part...kinda. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glacial.9516 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Unless I misunderstand, this already exists. We have custom emotes and a chat filter that can toggle emotes on and off. If RPers wish to hide their chat from those with emotes disabled, they could use the /me (or /em, I forget off hand which). On the flip side, emote range is so ridiculously long that many probably opt to use /say instead to bother less people (and others use both because /say makes sense for dialog while /me for actions).

DebraKadabra.5278 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 I'm on board with the separate chat idea, especially since the majority of the NA RPers are just.. so terrible at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
