Talk:What's new in Guild Wars?
Small challenge[edit]
Thirty red rock candies for whoever can rework that page in a way that allows users to filter all updates that have occured since the date they left the game, and maybe by graphics/pve content/pvp content/gui if you can. - - Ruine

- That would require some sort of table structure and turn the article (even more) ugly and harder to read, aside of that it's short enough to not need a filter - it has several sections for that already. To be fair, i'm still not happy with how it looks right now. --Smiley™ de: user | talk 11:12, 30 April 2020 (UTC)
Dbt click names in chat[edit]
Not sure where on the page it would go, but, what abt being able to double click someones name in chat to target them when they are in compass range. i forget which update added it, but, wasn't it one of the first updates Bill Freist added? Durp da durp (talk) 21:17, 30 April 2020 (UTC)
I don't know who updated and reset the wiki earlier this year, but they did a really crappy job. There's a ton of missing pages now, missing info, maps look like crap.
- Lovely attitude. If you want to do something useful and help improve things: Guild Wars Wiki:Reporting wiki bugs add your findings there. Thanks. Steve1 (talk) 06:13, 6 May 2020 (UTC)
ChatFilter.ini[edit]
Huuuuuuuge quality of life thing, not documented anywhere in an article on the wiki. Durp da durp (talk) 22:09, 6 August 2020 (UTC)
- Added it, it's documented in the patch notes and you can find it if you search for "chatfilter.ini" :D --Smiley™ de: user | talk 01:10, 7 August 2020 (UTC)
Source for encoding part, but neither plain unicode or utf-16 bom is an option in win 10. Utf-16 le works perfectly, other options do not. https://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Feedback:Game_updates/20180830 Durp da durp (talk) 17:42, 8 August 2020 (UTC)
- I shortened it a bit. Most people don't know what these words mean anyway... --Smiley™ de: user | talk 14:01, 9 August 2020 (UTC)
- those other options are needed for others who still use win7. Utf16 le is not an option on win7. If anything an actual article is needed to explain it, with pictures, on how to get it to function properly on each os. Plain unicode for win 7 and utf16le for win 10 is what seemed best, but, haven't used gw on win 7 in a while since b4 the utf 16 update, and, that may have broken chatfilter for win 7... your "small change" removed the possible win 7 supported options. Durp da durp (talk) 17:14, 12 August 2020 (UTC)
- I'm pretty sure it's "Unicode" in notepad as there's another option "Unicode big endian", aside of "ANSI" and "UTF-8" - sent from a Windows 7 PC. Also, this article is not the place to educate people how to use their text editor. The 0.1% who are actively using the chatfilter option are likely able to figure out how to save a file in UTF-16LE on their own. --Smiley™ de: user | talk 17:20, 12 August 2020 (UTC)
- Yes, those are the options for win 7 encoding, however, they do not provide a functioning filter, you will still see spam that the same filter list on win 10 in utf16le encoding would filter out. Also, ofc .1% use it, it was not documented anywhere other than update notes. XD Durp da durp (talk) 17:42, 12 August 2020 (UTC)
- Then maybe write an article about it that properly documents it and link it here??? --Smiley™ de: user | talk 18:00, 12 August 2020 (UTC)
- Well, i kinda did when it was released, but, now it works for win 10 only because even notepad++ can't encode to utf16 on win 7. So, if you have win 10, this blocks 100% of rmt sites... but not a wiki-ish article https://presearing.boards.net/thread/3318/chatfilter-ini-idiots-guide Durp da durp (talk) 18:17, 12 August 2020 (UTC)
- That's what i mean, create an article over here where it belongs, that properly documents it. Also Visual Studio Code exists. --Smiley™ de: user | talk 18:23, 12 August 2020 (UTC)

- (reset indent)I'm not great at wiki-fu, so not gonna even attempt it. Yes, there are program options that can do it, but, how many non programmers have Visual Studio Code? Pretty sure its even less than that .1% you said use the chatfilter. I don't have it, rarely use win 7 now, so since the win 10 instructions are right there, and only use default win 10 programs, not 3rd party software. Perhaps a "happy user" of win 7 could use that plus their win 7 + niche program experience to write an article with sections to get it working on both OS. Durp da durp (talk) 18:56, 12 August 2020 (UTC)
- What's your argument here??? You know that's not how using an operating system works. There's a reason why you can install software??? Not to mention that the little program i mentioned is the #1 notepad replacement nowadays and coincidentally the 3rd party vendor who publishes it is the same who also publishes Windows... So please, if you have anything meaningful to contribute, say, some real-world usage examples, feel free to post them here. I'm no longer going to argue about non-issues. --Smiley™ de: user | talk 20:09, 12 August 2020 (UTC)
- Smiley, please try to be less openly contemptuous of other editors. - Tanetris (talk) 04:18, 13 August 2020 (UTC)
- How many people that do not need a code editor use it as a notepad replacement? It is a small number compared to total number of windows users. #1 notpad replacement doesn't mean much when only "power users" find a need to replace notepad, on an OS even microsoft no longer supports. Look at my userpage, the extent of my coding / wikifu is my 'i'm with stupid' userbox. Someone with experience with both OS, and required software to make it work, would be better suited to write an article. Durp da durp (talk) 17:15, 13 August 2020 (UTC)

8 Ranks of Max Titles[edit]
So any chance of getting 8 ranks of GWAMM? Would be a great addition for those still playing that are aiming to finish everything! 40 Max titles is pretty hardcore.
/report[edit]
on the article its mentioned they fixed /report and to use "spam" for gold sellers, either its still broken or they dont read the reports, no matter how many times or ppl report the pre-searing gold seller, hes always coming back, but thats the same in kamadan or anywhere else really
