Since squads are not only used in WvW any more, the groups in the squad has become a popular way to plan or organise events.

Some limitations or lack of indication makes the management of the squad a little bit harder:

1: Besides that the word “Commander” is in front of the Commander’s name when he chats or the tag above his head, there is no indication of whom the commander is in the squad UI. I suggest making:

  • The back colour of the Commander’s profession block in the squad UI the colour of his Commander tag since there isn’t a green tag.

2: There is no indication of whom the Lieutenant is. I suggest adding:

  • The word “Lieutenant” in front of the Lieutenant’s name when he chats
  • An arrow above his head which has the same colour as the Commander’s tag and looks like the bottom arrow of the tag. This should only be visible for the squad and not the map.
  • A faded back colour for his profession block in the squad UI. Same colour as the Commander’s tag.

3: Allow the Commander to filter it’s squad members into groups according to:

  • Map
  • Instance
  • Profession
  • Level (WvW and PvE/mastery level)
  • Structured (A group containing one of each profession)
  • Random
