Guild Wars 2

Two things I would really like to see:

1) When you point at at an Asura Gate in the map, the sub point which currently says “travel to far away places.” should really state where that particular gate will take you, so that you do not have to walk over to each one individually to find out. It seems that I quite frequently end up checking every single gate before getting to the one I want, and that’s frustrating.

2) The ability to set a destination, both individually and for your entire group to see, that shows up on the map like the star that marks your next storyline point, including the arrows to show which way to go to get there. It would help save frustration when I run over only to find out that there is no connection between the zone I’m in and the one I’m trying to get to. Or to show that the quickest way to get there is to go through this asura gate, and run from there.

Thank you for a great game!

+1 for the Asura gates destinations to show on the map tooltip, especially for Rata Sum!

As for your second point : there is already a feature to set a marker – a personal waypoint – on the map. It makes a light green star for you and a blue one for the other party members. Unlike the red “pings” and lines you can draw on the map with “shift” clicking and dragging, these ones are permanent. You can make or remove a personal waypoint byt “alt” clicking the location on the map.

However, the personal waypoint has several limitations :
- Even if you can put it anywhere on the world map, it is only visible to party members in the same instance as you
- Unlike personal story markers, it does not show you the shortest route with arrows or the closest transition points if its in another map
