If you WvW a lot you know what I’m talking about. If not, then let me explain real quick.
Raid grouping is when you have more than 5 people in a group. So instead of your guild being spread out between 4-8 different parties, all those parties can be in one large group. Thus making it easier to follow, locate and communicate. (If you played pretty much any other MMO you know what I mean)
I’m stunned beyond belief that this game didn’t release with raid grouping since WvW is such a large part of the game.
I don’t want anything special. I just want to be able to invite my entire guild and any pugs following our tags into a raid group. If they add this and a raid channel in chat or even utilize the /team channel in wvw for the raid groups then we’ll be all set.
If you agree that this is needed then please leave a /signed or something similar.
my guild regularly does activities where we roam across the map, and we end up having to make multiple groups. something like an ability to make larger parties, even OUTSIDE wvw (gasp! i know, people do stuff that’s not wvw??) would be OH-so-helpful!
Id also like to add that it would be nice if we could see the health bars on the UI as well.
This is probably the one thing id like to see in the next patch i dont care about any siege improvement or wvw Ranks -.-
What already would help with only a minimal effort would be to have squad members also get a colored circle on the (mini)map like for the normal parties.
That way you would already be able to make a 25-30? man group and see where they are…
Almost. You can’t see where the other squad members are, and there’s no easy interface (if there’s one) to check who’s in your squad (I’ve never seen it at least)
Also, who’s to say this is just for a tagged commander? What if a guild wants to run with no tag to ensure pugs who aren’t in TS/Vent wont follow so they can ninja something stealthily while the tagged commander creates a distraction. Also, a raid utility would let you see who is in your raid and isn’t with you.
Kind of like the party utility. You can see your party members on other maps. You can’t see that with squad.
i agree, but commanders targeting visible for whole squad (as ping is now) would helped a lot
and different color; Ctrl+T is red, so commanders one can be yellow/blue etc.
This has been suggested a ZILLION times since BW1…. but apparently basic grouping is not important. I’m stunned at the lack of ability to group the way you want in a modern day MMO.
At the very least they need to allow commanders to hide the pin AND still retain all the functions of a squad. This way guilds and players can form private squads to use they way that works best for them.

I would love to see this with the option that there is also a raid group shared target and a symbol for the raid leader on his head similar to the commander icon except it could be set to viewable to raid only or public.

YES!! I was just talking to my friends about this the other day, for guild bounties, and other guild activities, plus of course WvW – We NEED Raid grouping – and RAIDS to boot.
I’d love a raid style dungeon in GW 2 – Nothing beats a 20/30 player Raid group against a huge boss…
Yes, the Dragons are similar to the end Raid boss, but I beg to differ, because you can still only get 5 people in a group when fighting the thing.
