Guild Wars 2

I was wondering if there were any plans for giving commanders more visibility and capabilities on their squad, like an extra GUI window.

The type of information that may be good:

- A list of all 8 professions and the number of players of each profession in your squad (could possibly branch into weaponsets too).

- Ability to create subgroups in a squad and possibly subcommanders. Players in a squad would see this information the same GUI window in a different tab when they join a squad, and they can switch from main to subgroup. And the subgroups could have the option to list “missions”.

- Ability to send a message to different subgroups and/or professions. i.e. Choose all mesmers and tell them to get portal ready for a portal bomb on keep. Or choose subgroup and tell them “get your stuff together and watch south boats!”

- Ability to have a strategist which can do most of the setup for commanders (create subgroups w/ missions, send notifications, etc) but aren’t the ones leading the squad.

- Ability to merge, delete subgroups (probably do not add ability to divide because that’d be difficult to manage).

- Ability to give colors to subgroups (so the dots on the map look different). Also when you hover over a dot with a color other than green, it should say which group they are in.

- Maybe a list of names and how many times they’ve joined your squad (top 100 or so) for possible recruiting purposes!
