Redsnabba.9172 Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 Pretty straight forward. I think there always has been some issue with it periodically but at the moment you systematically don't receive any whispers from others once you're in the character screen. Other chat channels seem to be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nokomis.5076 Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 Why should you receive them in the character screen anyway? The game doesn't know if you're logging in a character or not. So my guess is, the game just counts you as semi-offline while you're in the character screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redsnabba.9172 Posted February 21, 2020 Author Share Posted February 21, 2020 Because not receiving any messages is not a good idea. Someone can whisper you and you'll never know that they tried. You used to and probably should get a whisper on the last character you logged in on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redsnabba.9172 Posted February 21, 2020 Author Share Posted February 21, 2020 In addition the other person DOESN'T KNOW that you didn't get a whisper either despite sending it. That's bound to cause confusion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 If a whisper goes to the last character logged on, must you cycle through all recent characters every time you log on or change characters?Once you do that, must you do it again, in case someone whispered whilst you were checking the other one?I think what you really want is whispers to go to accounts, rather than characters.

Redsnabba.9172 Posted February 22, 2020 Author Share Posted February 22, 2020 the way whsipers work is that they are being sent to an account with a character's name. Now there are many ways to resolve this issue and i'm not sure about my accuracy of how it used to work but the point is you shouldEITHER-receive an error message as the sender if it couldn't transmitOR-receive said message regardless of your statusThat's always the case! If you're apparearing offline you'll receive the first option if you're online normally it should always be the second option and probably same for when you are relogging or whatever you're doing in the character screen. And yes i'm pretty sure anet keeps track on what your last logged in character was hence you can check your friendlist and see what profession it was. Infact it doesn't actually matter since ANY character would work. Just not loss of information is a real problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
