I had this idea yesterday and maybe it has been though of before but here it goes….
Allow commanders to have their icon on the map be different colors….
Wow, sounds unbelievely simple….
But would allow for servers to start to form better zone communication so that flanking could be more successful as well as other tactics. Additionally would allow for things like in and out strike groups.
I see this going down as….
Commander 1 (blue) : all on my tag for south gate sm assault.
Commander 2 (red) : need two more ____ on my tag, we are flanking in from ____ behind enemy zerg.
Commander 3 (green) : stack on blue tag, my strike group is good to take out enemy siege
….etc etc etc….
: need few more on my tag for camp cap / supply runs
…..
I know this is all things that can or could already happen in wvw and also doesn’t apply to roamers / small guild grps
But I believe just that small addition of “colors” to the icons would give a ton of freedom to form better strategies at a very small programming cost for the developers
Give me your feedback guys if this is a neat idea or if I’m being stupid =p
