Guild Wars 2

Is there some sort of future FFA PvP reason I can’t see friendly players, even guildies on the PvE map? I thought the entire idea of GW2’s event systems is to encourage random players to work together, without having to worry about communication and partying barriers (they won’t bother communicating, they can’t or won’t party, etc.)

If we need a RP reason, just say it’s told to us by the same network of Scouts that tell us about the events in the first place.

I’m going to guess that it would be an additional strain on the computer. If you have 50 people, lets say, on a map and each one shows up on each person’s map and then you repeat this computer load across all maps and all servers, it adds up to a fair amount.

That particular load is pathetically small. How about the fact so many people still get random DCs and errors? It should not be this hard to stabilize a game.

This is a GREAT idea. Please do this. You can already see friendlies in WvW and PvP, why not PvE???

This is the situation I run into: I often see someone on the mini map getting downed/defeated. I start hauling tail to them to rez them > they have no clue how close I am and they use a WP -.-

If we could see friendlies we would know how close help is or is not. It doesn’t have to be the WHOLE map, but at least the /s area or something.

I suggested awhile back to at least be able to see your fellow guild mates on the area maps. I would love to see this implemented.
