Supposedly if you are in a group it does. Otherwise no.
There are rumors of them implementing it at some time in the future. We'll just have to see. |

is that true ?
That's a major drawback for rp indeed ! |

Actually, it's a feature that is planned to be implemented. They simple haven't included it in the beta distributions, however.
No need to worry, you'll get your RP on with chat bubbles.

Originally posted by Speire FYI, RP means Role-Playing, as in pretending to be someone else, and playing out that part. Chat bubbles are as important for this as smoking is for whales. There are plenty MMO's out there that don't have chat bubbles and allow just fine for any RP activities you can imagine.

It's possible that GW2 leaves things to be desired in the RP department, but chat bubbles isn't one of them for me. If anything, I find chat bubbles more immersion-breaking than adding to RP. If a game has chat bubbles, and I can turn them off, it's one of the first things I do.   |

Wait.. what? You are bad at rping if you need chat bubbles. Sure I hope they will implement those but it's not a gamebreaking feature. |

Chat bubbles have nothing to do with RP..... Block the trolls, don't answer them, so we can remove the garbage from these forums |

Bring it up in the next beta and they will add it, just like they did with keybind-modifiers.

I spent almost two hours RPing last BWE. Of course, while that proves you can RP in GW2, that also proves that I need to use my time more efficiently during limited events. |

You don't need chat bubble for RP
BUT
Imho not having chat bubble option (so those who don't like can turn it off and just have all conversation only in chat window) is very very very bad. Not only cause of RP thing. Actually mostly not cause of RP.
Dynamic Events cause people to frequenly meet and casually group. Chat bubble would make casual conversation much easier and better.
Now having to look in chat window and then look on screen who said what is just really tiring, counterproductive and just plainly sucks.
While GW2 is great game - I am still amazed that genre overall does not put bubble chat as standard game feature.
Damn with all this WoW copying going around - hello WoW also have bubble chat! So if you have to copy something copy this....

I really hope they put them in before launch. I hate having to look at the chat window that's cluttered with nonsense from General and other channels, when having a conversation with a friend. Chat bubbles also make it more social when you're next to people that want help, or just being friendly. |

Sure you can ... at least, two friends and I seemed totally able to! I wouldn't be leading an RP guild if you couldn't... Could there be some more RP functionality in the game? HECK yes! And hopefully in time there will be... for now, all we really need to RP is the immersive world and the will to do it.  Why do I write, create, fantasize, dream and daydream about other worlds? Because I hate what humanity does with this one. BOYCOTTING EA / ORIGIN going forward. |

RP doesn't need bubbles, it needs players and a game master. |

OP, have you played LOTRO on the Landroval server? When I played a few years back, they didn't have chat bubbles. Yet, the server had a huge RP community. Allot RPed around the prancing pony and no one seemed to mind there was no chat bubbles. It may be still that way today, I'm not sure. Sine it's now F2P maybe you can take a look and see how they are dealing with it. Also ArenaNet has stated in past articles they are looking into chat bubbles, but it's not on the top of the list as there are game bugs to squash first.
