The chat console is used to communicate with other players and execute certain commands.
To access the chat console, click the chat icon () or press the chat key (mapped to Enter by default).
Chatting
To chat with other players, open the chat console and type your message, then press Enter to send it.
You can change the chat channel at any time by selecting from the drop down menu in the chat console or by appending your message with the appropriate tag character. Additionally there are some channels that can be quickly selected by pressing the correct key combination.
Channel | Tag | Shortcut | Purpose |
---|---|---|---|
Local | N/A | <chat key> | Chat with players within a town hub or an area instance. |
Global | # | Shift + <chat key> | Communicate with a multitude of players within your league. |
Party | % | Ctrl + Shift + <chat key> | Chat with all members in your party. |
Whisper | %<character> | Ctrl + <chat key> | Chat with a specific character only. The keyboard shortcut can be used to reply to the last whisper received. |
Trade | $ | Communicate with players for the purpose of trading items. |
To avoid having your chat console fill up with unwanted messages, you can hide the global and trade channels by ticking the Hide Global Chat and Hide Trade Chat checkboxes respectively.
Commands
Various functions can be executed by entering commands in the chat console. A syntax of a command is a forward slash (/) followed by a string. Commands that require additional parameters are appended after the command string followed by a space.
