Frankly, I am tired of map chat and I gave up on turning my status to “blue” a long time ago.
MMOs should be social or at least have more mechanics to permit socializing and this builds community. I suggest they implement a LFG system soon for dungeons especially to combat constant group incompatibility and an easier way to gain members for a 5-man party (or however many you prefer).
Not only that but I think there should be easier ways to find people and talk to them on a map. I appreciate that in WvW you can actually see green dots so you know where people are, why not put it in PvE? In addition, why not have some kind of option to view a long thread of requests from players in the map area who need help or company. Map chat is used for the most outspoken and usually trolls or sarcastic people—given…there are quite a few that are very helpful in map chat or respond appropriately and some people are pretty hilarious, but I think we need more versatility in niches, apart from guilds. Guilds are awesome, but I feel like it would be nice to build a better environment for circles of friends or certain friend groups. I for one hate having to whisper to different people to get their attention—having a system which allows you to chat multiple people at once (privately) would be great.
Suggestions
- Get that LFG system out soon
- Make areas which are meant to be sociable or encourages interaction between people, DEs aren’t good enough
- Request system per map for people who need help/company
- Custom whispers with multiple people
