Guild Wars 2

Although this topic is megaserver-related, I think it belongs in a seperate thread, as it’s no direct feedback or question. If you (mods) think otherwise, feel free to merge it into the right thread.

One big issue concerning megaservers is the challenge to shift a huge amount of players to a specific version of a map. Not because the players like to, but have to be on the same map, for example to kill a boss that is coordinated via voicechat or to complete a guild mission.

In the german forums the idea emerged (beginning here), that commanders and squads could be used as “taxis” just like parties are used now, giving each member of the squad the possibility to join the commander’s map. In a more advanced version guilds could produce a consumable that allows them to create an initially empty map, that, for the first few minutes, could only be accessed via the squad or, additionally, parties.

But even without the ability to create maps, I think being able to join the map of your squad’s commander would be a great improvement – and that’s why I wanted to share the idea with you guys. What do you think? Would you welcome this or does this have disadvantages as well?
