Commander Tags
1) no, sorry… but the tag is quite useful (guild bounty, puzzle, “runs” with more than 5/10 players)
2) for wvw zergs a “good” solution when there are no other tags – buuuuuttttt:
camp groups use the tag too… it is useful for the zerg to see the camp groups… the camp groups need that feature too – when from different guilds and not the same (room in) TS… or else they have a “meeting” every now and then
3) pure amount or special stuff? a constant value? or only the top e.g. 10% or 500 on the server?
I have >10.000 achievement points – there are players with more points, I know… I have a commander tag… I know how to use it… but there are commanders with 9000 and even 6000 points in our alliance and both are at least equal commanders… (not a big difference in PVE, but I guess both are much better in WVW!?)
so achievement points are not the best way to select the “worthy” (JPs, hitting a map boss a few times, killing some enemies with different weapons, … participation in dailies/monthlies/activities/special events has nothing in common with being a good commander)
a commander should know the classes (how to control that? a test?)
not like this one fractal group “equip your fear skill, pls” —> “Look at my class, not my armor” (hint: I was not a warrior )
other group, in the lava fractal, at the boss: two guardians are down first while a thief and an ele are still fighting – very nice comments from the grave!
1. “never played GW1? You should use water against destroyers… fire is useles” (and I thought I should switch between all my elements because water is useles when you want to deal damage (with a staff)… I was wrong… “higher (and more) numbers = less damage” )
2. “dagger/dagger would be much better” – I switched later- “where is the ice field… switch your weapons when the bubble comes and slow the boss…” (sure thing… just wait until I get my 2nd weapon set… sooo, never…)
3. “you have to give more support! We will kill the boss then…” (from 2 guardians not using their walls, dead before the 1st adds are hitting them, …!! How will they do it? Rot and poison him?)
4. “you have to remove our conditions” (they were either running away from me or standing around… guess which condition they wanted me to remove )
and all of them had >4.5k achievement points which was quite good back then… but they had no idea what they wanted, what is possible or what went wrong…
short: /no thanks
2nd: the other six classes 80
standby: G 80/ M 50 / T 45/ W 35 / …
