-No search for “Commander” didn’t yield anything about different ranks, just party size options. Don’t shoot me!
As more and more people purchase ‘The Hat’. It’s becoming harder and harder to keep WvW organized.
So, why not allow additional ranks that are TEMPORARILY assigned per WvW Map.
Supreme Commander:
Voted in by majority vote of all commanders. Work out how to keep things from being biased later.
Commander:
Same as it is now.
Sub-commander:
Applied only by the Commander who’s squad you’re in.
Icons:
Same design
Supreme Commander: Gold Icon
Commander: Blue Icon
Sub-commander: Red Icon
Additional things (may or may not be on the forums all ready):
-Allow Squad Frames (ie Raid Frames)
-Commander Icons (all 3 types) displayed on World Map (doesn’t appear to be implemented)
-Alert Makers: Placed by Commanders (all 3 types), each denoted by the color (Gold, Blue, Red). Think RTS team flares used to call for help
Future Implementation:
Player-selected colors for the icons. This would be applied by the Higher-ranked Commander. That way you don’t say “Follow illutian” and have people looking for my hat, you’d just say “follow yellow”.
-This change would require the icon to be modified much like Military Ranks are modified by adding another stripe underneath the main ’ ^ ’.
