Guild Wars 2

Commanders should have better control over their squad management.

Possibilities:

• Icon Color: Each commander should have a different map icon color, this will bring them out more on the map.
• Squad UI: Displays name and small health bar. No conditions or boons should be shown.
• Invite: The ability for a commander to invite people to his squad.
• Kick: The ability for a commander to kick people from his squad.
• Squad Info: Should display everyone in the zone, with the known supplies they are holding.
• Target Marking: Commanders should be able to mark a target that is a different icon than the current party target icon.
• Map notification: Squad members should show up on the map (specifically in PvE) and shown as a different color on the map than other people not in your squad (specifically in WvW).
• Map Marking: Commanders should be able to mark the map with an icon (already able to do this.) and with a hover over note, or a small note about what to do at that target. Example: Rally Icon: “Rally here for an ambush on blah.”
• Objective Writing: Being able to create an objective which displays like personal story quests. (Thanks Dondagora.9645 for the addition.)

Just a few options that would be nice for commanders to have at their disposal.

What about objective writing? Being able to make an objective in the top-right corner of the screen like an event, it’ll help coordinate the squad and communicate plans with greater success.

Agree with everything… I’d even settle for a simple change.

- They allow commanders to hide the pin.
- They allow commanders to form squads.

Solution: Allow commanders to hide the pin AND still form squads.

Now we have a private squad system that can be used for guild members only or for creating specific sized forces in WvW. Is this really that hard to implement?
