Guild Wars 2

Pugmanding. It isn’t always the best situation. Sometimes its great, everyone on your map knows what they’re doing and things run smoothly. Other times you get pugs that have no clue what they are doing so you have to type a lot to explain what to do before a big fight. Then during this big fight you very well may have to shout commands so people know when to do certain things like reflects or boon ripping (viscount/lich for a couple examples.) Suddenly: suppression hits. You cannot enter ANY information at all you cannot even ping a skill.

What can really be done about this? If we get rid of suppression for commanders that will lead to chat spamming since too many people have tags, most of which do not even pugmand. We could make it so squad leaders aren’t suppressed in their squad chat, or is this already a feature? I don’t know because no one joins a squad. Even if they did, how would a pugmander keep track of who is still on their map and who has moved on? No, squad leading is not the option.

Here is my proposal, create an option each player can select to not suppress individual players in their individual chat. Oh hey, there’s a commander tag on this map and he’s doing a good job, i don’t want to miss out on information he has. OMG I can right click the tag or his name in the chat window and select ‘Do not suppress this player.’??? WIN! You’re welcome.

That’s actually a pretty good idea.

Would help really much. It’s complicated when yoj have to explain, in map chat, for big events. Lot of people still don’t join you on TS so you have to write everything.
