Guild Wars 2

This suggestion is not my own strictly but mine and friends and he asked me to put it here soooo here it is.

There should be commander update. We all know that 100g ain’t so superb fast to gain (if you don’t know how to or you are casual player) and then you have just icon above your head, new chat for people who joined your squad, squad supply check and to be honest it is kinda irritating. Chat commands are too long and usually there is no time to do so and mostly people don’t have any benefits for running with commander in his squad or commander doesn’t know how to command people and there came this idea:

- make commander levels, there should be some kind of buff for all people who are in commanders squad, ie. Commander A have 10lv and got +xx Vitality buff for all who are in his squad so people will be more willing to join him to gain this buff. To simplify there should be same lv system as WvW lv but it needs to be more precise and fair to people who have commander but no occasion to command (ie. just they have some points when they are on WvW under the commander with bigger lv than theirs)
- build squad ui, nothing to add here, just make squad people display not as it is in chat but some copy of party UI with class/health/supply count for all squad
- move commanders to PvE, make them usefull, get the same system as mentioned in WvW of course PvE and WvW commander levels will be independent.

I hope that all I mentioned here is readable and clear but if not I will try to explain asap ^^"

i think is very good idea. Make for commanders boom and all squad booms at lvl.
ie. when commander have first or second lvl the all in squad gets 1% vitality or 1% power.
make different specializations of commanding (strong commander – gets power maybe stability, vigor commander – vitality swiftness, curse commander – more conditions and precision) Commander only learn when lead people win other. Those need to chose one way of commanding. It would be good for people playing in squad as well commanders

This could only really work if there was a debuff given to all squad members if their commander is killed. It could be demoralize and lower everyone’s vitality by the same it would be raised by the commander’s presence.

=/ only one problem with commander perks

more commanders
Overlapping perk
Team with most commanders wins fights

It could lead to a larger lop sided advantage.
Small guilds would have problems competing with larger zerg guilds who would gain exp more rapidly due to how fast they can flip objectives. I like the utility functions and I like commander levels. It would be nice to know how good that commander is before joining in on his tag. I don’t think being a commander should give players any kind of in game bonus stats or perks though UNLESS it was the same for all commanders and could not stack.

Just playing the flip side of this and pointing out the obvious exploits.

No. Vertical progression is undesired.

I believe that, if this leveling Commander thing is used, only the top tier of Commanders should give a buff to their Squad, and there could be a limited amount of people per squad (Not the 100+ people already, but maybe just like 15-20). This means that having multiple commanders wouldn’t be OP or unfair, but that everybody would be able to take part of the Squad Buff. But having Commanders in PvE? Meh.

1st of all, bonus should be counted for people under commander (for thoese who are in his squad and only in his squad) this should do the work and they should be in his range to gain it
2nd this debuff idea is nice, commanders then should watch out for their life
3rd on world map there should be info about commander when you hover over his tag (and some kind of note maybe?)

The commander and squad system is one of the worst I’ve used in the last 6 years playing MMO’s. Needs a complete overhaul.
