Guild Wars 2

I’ve been running into this problem a lot recently. There is a group of my guild that usually run together and do things from events to wvw to dungeons. But theres often more than 5 of us (usually 6-8 on) and not being able to invite them all to a party is a real downer. Not only does it exclude some people from time to time, it prevents me from inviting new guildies to join in because there aren’t enough party slots.

Now, obviously we can group together outside of party, but it just doesn’t work out very well. Having the dots appearing on the mini-map is extremely convenient and makes it easy to find each other, and without it we quickly will lose the players not in our party. What would be nice is to maybe tweak the systems we have now, because I’m sure no one really wants another /chat to have to switch too.

There are couple of ways that I’ve thought that this could look like. Make everyone a part of a commander’s “squad” show up as dots on the mini-map. This would provide another function for the commander icon, and while it’s 100 gold, I would be willing to pay that if it meant being able to have everyone connected. Another option would be to allow a party of players to “follow” another party, essentially allowing for up to 10 people to be in the same group.

Let me know what you think about these problems and what you think should or shouldn’t be done to change it!

5 isn’t really a party, it’s more of a gathering. Get 20 or 30 people and you can call it a party.

Wait I thought that’s what a squad did already…?

Negatory. and the squad is still only limited to 30 people While not a problem most of the time, the Commander can’t kick anyone from the squad, so having random people, no longer following you, in your squad is annoying at times.

How is this in any way related to the quote?

TehPwnerer.7215 thought squad mates showed up on your mini map. I was confirming they don’t (please correct me if they do and I’ll open ticket cuz mine never has). Then I added another problem with the party/quad system in the game right now?

I guess I should have separated that? It was 2 things lumped together, sorry.

I appologize, I missed the “and” after Negatory. I didn’t realize you were making two unrelated statements.
