Guild Wars 2

I’m really happy with the squad system, and it really helps organize big events.
There’s only thing I’m asking for. A way to quickly find yourself.

There’s two ways to do this:
*Make a seperate slot for yourself, always locking your own icon in the front of a squadgroup
*Make the personal icon different, by for example making the background yellow or orange instead of green

Your personal icon is slightly different (a border and a bit of a white faded are) but it could be much more obvious.

I checked this morning, my icon is 100% exactly the same as all the others :/
Tried messing with the settings, but nothing seems to change it. maybe you imagined it?

Here is a picture of my squad. I will just ask you and everybody, with no clues: Can you see which one is me?

Ironically the party interface is better than the squad interface now. Snapshots of people so you can spot them in a crowd, who is providing what buffs.

What REALLY annoyed me about the new interface is you could no longer be tagged up and in a party. Yes, there are times this is handy. It has been asked before, but maybe a way to just tag up and not form a squad?

You are the reaper in the second group.

I had to squint a lot, it’s nothing I’d see in the heat of combat, but the lines are there.

I do agree something bolder should indicate your icon. I love a lot of things about GW2’s minimalist UI but sometimes it mutes things too much (my big peeve is the use of grey text for active things, though that’s not a squad UI issue). If you need to drag yourself to another group, eg when going on boss team at the DS blighting trees, it takes a long time to find yourself.

I think they may have started putting squad members in alphabetical order, that’ll help for those willing to have the boxes big enough to see names.

Likewise, there’s a thin white line around your own profile.. good luck seeing that in the heat of battle

That’s right! Well done.
