Not signed. I use twitter, and tweet on GW stuff but having it in game would be unnecessarily distracting and really kinda pointless. After a while it would turn into another lfg or wts spam channel and I'd really rather see those things integrated more professionally and securely in the game itself rather than being at the mercy of a third party site.

Cuilan · Jul 06, 2009, 09:36 AM // 09:36

Twitter is secure enough that sites and apps are integrated with it.

Twitter isn't just about tweeting what you're doing moment to moment. If you don't find that interesting, then don't follow such users.

Cuilan, there are far more important things to implement in-game right now then twitter.
Cant you just simply run both twitter and gw at the same time?
To switch between them it takes about less than 5 seconds.
Oh and btw, the security you are talking about has nothing to do with lfg or wts spam.

totally pointless /not signed

Is it so hard to play in window mode?

PvE is all c+space anyways. I browse many forums, go on facebook/myspace, chat with friends, look up stupid things on google and I still can do my vanquishs and missions.

There is no reason to have this kind of stuff in the game.

Anyways, we have what 2 developers working on GW1. I'd rather they not waste their time with something like this. Proper skill balances, new content, anything would be better than this...

No.

Here is your /sign, probably the only one you will get. I'm not saying that there should be a huge, FULL BLOWN twitter client in GW though. Maybe an additional tab at the end to post things or a --post shortcut like TwitterBar.

That's only the stereotype of it. People don't just wait every 2 seconds for people to do things.

Damn, you people are sure paranoid. Is Twitter gonna take over the world and unleash some evil like Abaddon him/herself?

if you think twitter is something that needs to be put in gw then... your gay... there, i said it

yes... I can picture it now... they added Twitter! *uninstall due to twitter, not actual game* and for far more important stuff... do you mean like the recycled z stuff? they could have done the things you mentioned in that time but you know, they won't do any of that. Guild Wars is like Bibble.

that second part is lol though. you're*

Oh, and it is quite annoying to minimize the game since that takes like 30 or more seconds till it comes back each way.

If this didn't deal with Twitter, and was a custom status message for in Guild Wars, everybody here'd be all over it. But that's what I think Twitter is, a big status message website, with them not being deleted by default so you can read older ones.

And the 89% that aren't are acceptable loses?

people seem to have either too much self worth or are paranoid since strangers are really THAT dangerous after all *eye roll*.

There are many other functions and features that would be more useful and add more enjoyment. This would just be a waste of time better spent on those other options we should have.

The devs have too many others things they need to do that are more beneficial.

Shayne Hawke · Jul 06, 2009, 01:48 PM // 13:48

Wouldn't improve Guild Wars in the least.

How such a pointless microblog became so popular still amazes me.

Why you would want to tell people about your exploits in the world of a game is beyond me.

Big fat /notsigned. This idea is pointless. GW doesn't need to become an operating system because people don't want to wait 5 seconds while alt+tab cycles.

I want an addon to remove the compass and put a mini window with youtube videos... you know... for when I'm getting old waiting for an AB/FA match.

I'd rather get a functional XTH than tell everyone every second what I'm doing. And before you start with the "is not that you post every 2 mins", if you don't do it so often then why dou you mind switching windows?

Twitter can die.
Wow can die.
Lots of things can die.

And agreeed, I see no point to it or why it's so popular.
Heck, if you want to tell people what you're doing call them. I honestly wouldn't want to know every little detail of what someone is doing. Pointless and a waste of time. Seriously, what's with younger generations and pure texting and whatnot..and many of them can't even type properly. lol. Go out and do something in the big world of reality where things you do can actually be of some consequence.

Twitter is just a hype.

Here is some interesting information about twitter users.

Cuilan · Jul 06, 2009, 04:53 PM // 16:53

Most of the new replies are all stereotypes. Twitter does have a point, it's a site that brings people together who wouldn't have normally met on other sorts of sites or online ways.

When I tweet, I never tweet about anything I'm doing. Again, even Guild Wars has its own Twitter. I don't see any of the developers tweeting like that.

If you don't like people who can't spell or tweet about everything they do, don't follow (add them to the list of people you subscribe updates from) them?

I don't understand why any of you would WANT to follow people who tweet about boring stuff. o.O

And I'll say it again, none of us knows what's required to make this happen...

Besides, if your PC can't handle the alt+tab method you sjhould buy a new one or lower your settings. I won't even the mention the fact that Twitter is one big blown up hype and is likely to die soon. I've seen it before and I will see it again.
