[Suggestion] Cmdr tag msg in map tooltips
That doesn’t sound too bad.
It’d be nice if squads had the ability to put an LFG-style title on it. Offensive/disruptive messages are already covered under regular rules so that’s not an issue.
It’d be even cooler if people don’t want text to have little icons that would represent an activity.
for there you have been and there you will long to return.
I think this would be a great idea, with the following change:
A summary section or headline is added to the squad message, to be displayed on mouse-hover over the commander’s tag.(instead of the long message.). Enough for one decently long sentence like: “Map clear, no hearts or events”, “Chest train – all welcome” “Mastery point and hero point train”, etc… this would deal with 1), and somewhat with 2).
As for 3), troll commanders can do this in other ways if they’re going to.
<edit>
I think that this would be a very useful feature for mentor tags as well.

I’d also ask for one more thing: That the mouse-hover squad message headline/summary be set by default to “I’m a poser idiot who just wants to be seen from space!” So that people who buy commander tags as a vanity tag and make no attempt to actually learn about commanding will be seen for what they actually are.

I think that this would be an excellent feature to add to mentor tags, as well.
A commander prefix in maps would be helpful, too. mentors get one when their tag requires 0 effort to actually get, and commanders have to dump a significant amount of gold for their dorito (which still needs black and white flavours, by the way).
But yes, a way to describing exactly what I’m using my tag for on a map that someone could see at a glance would actually be a great help

I agree that it would be nice for mentor tags, too. Does a mentor tag enable a squad message too?
No, mentor tags don’t allow you to form a squad, so there’s no squad message. This is why a short tool-tip style mouse hover message would be very nice for mentor tags. “Helping with map clear”, “Guided tour of [Map]”, “Answering questions”, etc…

This makes sense to me, though the “Apple panic” maps full of mentors might be a problem with all the tooltips. Maybe this is value that comes with spending the gold on a commander tag.
