This suggestion is exactly what the title beholds.
To have guild Members of your Current Represented Guild show up on the map, perhaps as Small Yellow Circles in the Same Color as Guild Chat.
Functionality Suggestions
——————————— Settings (F11)
Two new General Setting check boxes.
1. “Guild-Mates Seen On Map”
2. “Guild-Mates Can See You On Map”
General Function
On your current map, players within your guild would be shown.
(They already do this for nearby players in WvWvW, and NPC’s in Instances)
The only differences is, if possible, to have them shown within the whole zone, rather than just local.
Also if possible for pets. I’m a ranger and sometimes I lose my pet in big battles specially in WvW, it’s helpful because I wanna know if he’s near me or not so I can decide between calling him back or swapping.
This needs to be in game now =p Most commanders are just wanting to rally their guild so it will solve the problem of too many commanders in a zone as well.
Group sizes are limited to 5 so the scale of how much you guild is representing at any one time is only really observed in my team speak channel <.<
A warrior, a guardian, and an elementalist walk into an open field…
The Warrior turns to the guardian and says, “Did you hear something?”
Guardian replies, “No, but how’d the elementalist die?”
I ran across a guildie in a lowbie zone last week, and we just ran around destroying mobs. It was fun, and I wonder if I’ve missed out on other times like this because a guildie wasn’t in my field of view.
Thanks for sharing your experience with us Bogartan.
Thats exactly what I’m talking about. We should have an extra notification to where are guildies are, rather than it just listing it on the guild roster. Theres nothing I can think of to stop this idea. -Considering we the player could choose to toggle it on or off.
Yes, please! I found it kinda hard to coordinate a larger number of guild members. Up to 5 people it’s fine cause you can just join a group. 6+ is forcing you to form 2 and more groups. Even when you’re on the same TS or something it’s hard to coordinate the members under such circumstances cause one group can’t see the other and you always have to ask each other “WHERE THE KITTEN ARE YOU?!?”
Thank you all for your support.
And yes I believe it’d be nice to have an option to have friends show on the map as well, toggle option of course. Perhaps in that pink color like chat. Thank you.
+1
It would really help with larger groups. Once you’ve split up into more than one group it’s a real pain keeping track of each other. Being able to see each other’s dots would make a big difference.
+1 Please make this happen, haha. It’s frustrating organizing events with guildies and trying to coordinate where everyone is on larger maps... (WvW for example...)

this is a great idea, however the impact on the client would be somewhat large considering some guilds have hundreds of players, sometimes meaning hundreds of these little dots constantly being re-positioned on your map according to where they are on the server, and thats not to say there are many icons on the map that dont already do this, because there are, but in many cases, all of the guild mates would increase the amount of moving icons on the map by an astronomical number. for now, I dont know how it would affect my client, and until i get a futureproof rig in a year or so, i dont really wanna find out hahaha

I was thinking they’d only show up while you’re on that map, like the green dots of allies in Instances / WvWvW (Except wvwvw only shows when you’re really close to them)
This is a great idea, and I also support the check boxes. Because sometimes you don’t want to be found (like say, if you are playing hide and seek or a scavenger hunt).

I actually removed the ‘uses’ area from the top.."
I want it to be left to you (the players) how a feature this simple, could make such a big impact. Like that. Scavenger hunts… They would not be hindered!
Also if possible for pets. I’m a ranger and sometimes I lose my pet in big battles specially in WvW, it’s helpful because I wanna know if he’s near me or not so I can decide between calling him back or swapping.
Signed!
That’s be a great addition! Also it’s really useful if you’re trying to lead someone new to a zone to a specific waypoint(that is if you’re not able to team up at that moment)
I’ve also ran past friends so many times without even noticing them it’s shameful…

That is what it is all about!
Helping being noticed.
I’m just stating my personal opinion.. but If I noticed I had a friend or two on a map, I’d probably stay in that map longer, see what they’re doing, help people along the way, and I dont know.. I just feel something so little would help the game flourish, even if its just with the people you know.

I think it’d be nice to be able to see your friends list on the map as well.
