Guild Wars 2

Since now its even more easier to get groups together with the Lfg tool. I think a nice addition to the game would be tag signs.

This is a valuable tool used in a lot of other similar games, where team play is expected. So why not add simple signs that you can use to tag the target, so everyone in your party can get on the same page without laying out walls of texts each time you have to fight a new mob.

Simple 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 to show order of attack priority. A circle with a / though it to show to ignore this target, allow multiple placements of these. Or use some of the already tag’s we have, maybe the crown used for the costume battles or a skull and crossbones to say this is the priority kill.

And Anet lets take this to the next level let us tag objects as well, so they can be used to signal targets of importance that are not of the player class level. This would become very useful to Commanders in WvW. And maybe in that notion Commanders Tags on targets could be seen by anyone who is helping that commander not just in his squad.(but then again commanders need to get those squads together)

wth! not one single relpy. Seriously I need to stop posting my ideas in the middle of the night.

i did the same thing , in the middle of the night. No replies of course.

You would think that some would comment, especially trolls that love to shoot down the idea based on silly facts like “we don’t need!”

Nothing gets added to the game like this, it needs a following of some support from the community before the dev’s take notice and maybe discuss the idea amongst themselves.

Another thought, how about letting us and the commanders tag people in there squads/party with special tags so they can split a smaller group up to run a certain kind of assignment. Maybe the commanders could assign co-commanders with a smaller commander tag and a different color
In dungeons you could also assign the numbers to each party member to show something like who is to do something 1st and then who is to do it 2nd, for instance carrying the cultist hammer up the scaffolding in the cliffside fractal.
