This is an idea that is developed on an idea that Solaria made. S/He made an idea about tactical minimap.
What about “Tactical map”
Everyone needs to be in a group or get “invited” to see that tactical map. When you open the map you will find folders on top that, normal/tactical. If you open tactical you get the normal map but you can draw on (this drawing will also show in real time while you draw on other peoples map that are invited to this tactical map), but in different symbols that are on the side of the map or drag and drop symbols, or simply right click, menu, item, push item to drop it there. Or hotkey symbols in tactical map. Write text on map, etc.
Maybe have some “restriction options” on the tactical map like read/write options in a computer file. Everyone that can access the map is listed in an options list and the “leader” of that map can give people read/write ability. Maybe put read as standard with write as option.
The drawing will stay until you as a person “clear” it on your part, or maybe the options to “save” it under a name with the ability to access it later as an overlay on the map or something. A new folder on top of the map will show with that name and a new clear tactical map folder is also showing.
This will probably not happen, but the tactical child in me just went “shivers all over” thinking about it :p The huge guild planning in WvW. IMO that would make WvW really awesome and more personalized. More like an army with a tactician giving out orders.
What are your thoughts about this?
