DivaCeryn.2673 Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 After yesterday's patch the block list isn't showing right. It just show partially lit names no location, AP's or anything else. Checked my alt account and it's the same. Ran a repair, deleted daily roaming file and still nothing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Double Tap.3940 Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 Hello! This is not a bug, but the intended behavior. The in-game block list and associated UI are undergoing some changes to help combat stalking behavior. Thank you! 13 4 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urud.4925 Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 Despite I have people in my block list (all of them added after some PvP match) and it might have been useful to know if some of them in particular was in PvP when I also queue for a daily, I agree with the decision. If I want to know what another player is doing, I can always add him as friend, and he can see that I'm following him. It seems fair. On the other hand, if I add someone in my block list, I'd like to don't meet him/her in an instanced content. Even if this means longer queue time for me.

Oh come on... This isn't right we should be able to see who is stalking us just to harass us. I had 2 and was told to turn on time stamp to report from block list and now we can't?? This needs changed back there are people in the game that like to follow people just to harass and troll them and their guild. This is not usefull at all to many that I've seen complaining in map chat about it, this seriously needs changed back. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VictorLeal.4102 Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 This is an MMORPG you can't avoid people on the open map... Anyway whoever you blocked can't talk to you. I believe that this change has many more benefits than disadvantages in the same way that you can't see them they can't see you either 1 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And adding them to friends list is not an option. If you can see where whomever you block is, what exactly do you think will happen? Yes, reverse stalking. You want to stalk someone, just block them. If both of you block each other, then you'll always know where each other are. Defeats the purpose, doesn't it? If your stalker is around you: Just try to switch maps by going to PvP lobby, join a squad temporarily on LFG that's on another instance to switch, or waypoint to a distant area on the same map. It's maybe a little inconvenient but leaving it the way it was, is much worse. Edited September 2, 2022 by Silent.6137 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The in-game block list and associated UI are undergoing some changes to help combat stalking behavior. Thank you! So adding toxic players to your friendslist so you know where to not be in the game is the solution? I don't think that's intended behavior either. If it is, then I'll start researching into making a 3rd-party addon for the game. Would be neat with a shared blocklist across multiple accounts as well. Currently I use my blocklist to know when not to queue in PvP. As in "Oh this toxic person is in Heart of the Mists? Better not queue up until they're safely inside a match and my match is free of their toxicity". There's no way not seeing their online status and their current map is intended behavior. How about not allowing players to set their status to offline? Currently they can do this, but still trash talk you in whispers with no way for you to reply back because "the player you're trying to whisper is offline". 3 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It needs to be switched back if it's actually not a bug.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knowing beforehand wether someone is running the game mode you consider to play can be important to some people. It's probably a rare case, but it's not just about avoiding virtual people or trolls. There's some pretty trashy people IRL and if you happen to know that they also play GW2, you might want to avoid them at all costs since they already did some real kittened up stuff IRL and thus can easily trigger. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They dident want blocked people to see them at all and thats what happens when you block now since you are even removed from their friend list. Where were you debating that it should work how it was workling since that was better? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
