Chat Commands

Chat Commands in Gloria Victis

Gloria Victis relaunched June 17, 2026 on Steam as free-to-play under gamigo, bringing back directional combat, three nations (Ismir, Midlander, Sangmar), partial loot zones, capital depots, and a crafting ecosystem of nearly 1,000 recipes. Keyboard shortcuts handle swings and blocks—see Keybinds—but slash commands typed in chat solve stuck collision, fast travel shortcuts, and social channel management.

This page catalogs verified chat commands at v2026.06 Relaunch, explains cooldowns and zone restrictions, distinguishes commands from keybinds, and lists communication channels for guild logistics and trade. For combat input see Combat Controls. For menu navigation see UI & Interface.

How to Enter Commands

1. Press Enter to focus chat (default binding—Keybinds)
2. Type the command starting with / — example: /unstuck
3. Press Enter again to execute
4. Read server feedback text for success, cooldown, or failure reason

Commands are server-authoritative. Client mods or macro tools attempting to automate commands may violate terms of service—use manual entry.

Essential Commands Table

Command	Function	Typical Restrictions
/unstuck	Relocate to nearest valid tile when stuck	Cooldown; may fail in combat
/capital	Teleport to nation capital	Unlock required; not in fight
/say	Local speech channel	Range limited
/nation	Nation-wide channel	Nation membership
/guild	Guild channel	Guild membership
/party	Party channel	In party
/trade	Trade negotiation channel	Hub proximity sometimes
/help	List commands or topics	If implemented per patch

Verify /help output after Patch Notes—new State of War phases may add siege or guild directives.

/unstuck: Collision Recovery

Terrain seams, bridge rails, mining shaft edges, and crowded hub spawns cause stuck states where your character cannot move despite empty collision visually.

When to Use

• Wedged between rock and tree after lag teleport
• Fallen into crevice with no jump escape
• Spawned inside geometry after disconnect reload
• Horse dismount glitch on slopes—Horse Taming

When It Fails

Condition	Reason
Active combat tag	Anti-exploit prevention
Partial loot carry timer	Escape risk from PvP consequences
Animation lock	Wait for swing or gather to finish
Cooldown active	Spam prevention
Instance rules	Dungeons or arenas may disable

If /unstuck fails, submit bug report with coordinates via official channels. Do not macro spam—extends cooldown.

Best Practices

• Try jump and minor movement first—saves cooldown
• In group fights, retreat to safe angle before unstuck—not mid-duel
• After unstuck, verify gear and orientation before re-engaging directional combat—Combat Controls

Relaunch week hotfixes targeted /unstuck reliability on popular bridge camps—track fixes in Patch Notes Hub.

/capital: Nation Capital Teleport

Each nation maintains a capital city—Ismir, Midlander, and Sangmar capitals host depots, markets, guild services, and Logistician NPCs.

Primary Uses

• Depot banking — Store surplus before partial loot routes—Depot & Economy
• Market listing — Sell crafted goods from ~1000 recipes—Recipes Overview
• Guild meetings — Organize State of War prep—Guild & Siege Prep
• Quest turn-ins — Capital chains for leveling—Leveling 1-100

Restrictions

/capital is not a universal escape button:

• Often disabled during combat or enemy proximity
• May require unlock from tutorial or Logistician quest chain—Fast Travel
• Cooldown prevents hop trading abuse across map
• Carrying contraband or event flags may block—event specific

Using /capital to flee a losing duel may fail by design—partial loot integrity depends on it.

Relation to NPC Fast Travel

Logistician NPCs offer directed teleports with separate cooldowns and costs. /capital is the chat shortcut layer atop fast travel systems—not a replacement for tents and road logistics in bastion events—Bastion Logistics.

Communication Channels

Slash commands prefix channel routing:

/say (Local)

Nearby players only. Trade negotiations in person, duel agreements, friendly banter in hubs. Range is short—do not use for cross-map coordination.

/nation

Nation-wide chat for Ismir, Midlander, or Sangmar members. High volume at relaunch. Use for recruitment, defense callouts, bastion coordination. Spam erodes morale—officers set Discord for serious ops.

/guild

Private to guild roster. Siege schedules, depot contribution lists, crafting requests. Pair with UI & Interface guild panel permissions.

/party

Temporary group content—mining veins, escort caravans, arena teams. Clears when party disbands.

/trade

Public trade channel in many hubs—price checks for ore, food, horses. Watch for scam links; Gloria Victis has no official cross-server mail gold schemes.

Commands vs Keybinds

Feature	Chat Command	Keybind
Open inventory	—	I key
Attack	—	Mouse with Alt toggle
Unstuck	/unstuck	No default key
Capital teleport	/capital	No default key
Open guild UI	—	G key

Macros binding /capital to a key are convenience but obey same restrictions as manual entry.

Partial Loot Zone Command Behavior

In partial loot zones, chat commands face stricter rules:

• /unstuck cooldown may increase to prevent loot evasion
• /capital often disabled while loot timer active on recent PvP tag
• Death and respawn may place you at nearest chapel—not capital

Understand loot timers in Partial Loot System and zone borders in Loot Zone Map.

Roleplay and Etiquette Commands

Some MMOs include /me or /emote variants. Check /help for emote slash list—waving in capitals is harmless; emoting mid-block is not.

Nation pride shouting in /nation during victories is tradition. Toxicity violates community standards—report through official tools.

Guild and Officer Commands

Future State of War patches may add officer commands—promote, siege declare, build permissions. At relaunch baseline, guild rank actions occur primarily through UI—UI & Interface—not chat. Monitor State of War Roadmap for additions.

Documented officer workflows without slash commands:

• Invite via UI or right-click
• Rank changes via guild panel
• Fief upgrade purchases via hub NPC or panel—Guild & Siege Prep

Reporting and Support Commands

Gloria Victis may expose /report or /bug in certain builds—verify live. For stuck accounts, login failures, or missing legacy skins, official support tickets supplement in-game commands—Premium Skin Recovery.

Do not share account passwords in any chat channel ever.

Chat UI Tips

• Scroll chat history with mouse wheel when focused
• Shift-enter may insert newline without sending—test client behavior
• Filter tabs reduce nation spam during events
• Copy-paste trade prices from external spreadsheets—mind scam corrections

Common Mistakes

Mistake	Consequence	Fix
Typing unstuck without slash	Public embarrassment	Use /unstuck
Capital during combat	Command fails, wasted time	Clear combat tag first
Nation chat for private info	Intel leaked to rivals	Use guild or voice
Ignoring cooldown	Second attempt fails	Wait timer
Expecting capital with full loot risk	Blocked by design	Bank at depot first

New Player Command Checklist

Memorize before leaving tutorial:

1. /unstuck — collision recovery
2. /capital — return to hub when unlocked
3. /guild or /nation — find social groups
4. /help — patch-updated command list

Practice typing without opening map—Enter focus only.

Integration with F2P Onboarding

Free-to-play recruits flood chat at relaunch. Veterans answering “what is Alt” should link Keybinds instead of only saying “toggle mouse.” Likewise link this page for /unstuck instead of “google it.”

gamigo’s non-P2W model means chat commands are not sold—no premium unstuck—F2P & Monetization.

Patch Tracking

Chat command behavior changes in hotfixes—especially exploit closures:

• Cooldown duration adjustments
• New zone blocklists for /capital
• Combat tag definition tweaks

Add rows to personal notes when Patch Notes Hub mentions “chat” or “unstuck.”

Summary

Chat commands complement directional combat keybinds. /unstuck frees you from terrain collision with cooldown respect. /capital shortcuts nation hub access for depot banking and guild coordination when unlocked and allowed. Channel commands organize Ismir, Midlander, and Sangmar communication layers. Type carefully, obey zone restrictions, and never treat slash commands as combat escapes in partial loot fights—Stoneholm’s rules are deliberate. Press Enter, slash, execute, read feedback, continue surviving.
